Not many reviews for the last chapter.That's okay, the ones that did were great, thank you. I warned you there were big age jumps. Now let's see what happens when they find out one of Shina's hunky parents became a father the old fashion way.

Chapter 7

Kuronue smiled as he felt his mate come up behind him. He shivered as long silver hair caressed his shouldersas he felt his neck being nibbled and soft hands stroked his wings. "Baby, are you sure you won't come with me? We could leave Shina with Kuwabara and Yukina. Wouldn't it be fun to make love in some of our old haunts?"

The Chimera turned and pulled the sexy Youko into his lap. Kurama had just finished packing for a trip to Gandura. Hestill served as one of Yomi's advisors and had been called in for contract negotiations with Yusuke over a disputed piece of land. "Foxie, even without Shina to cramp our style, so to speak, I would be board out of my mind waiting for you to finish your meetings. I will however make it up to you now and when you get back. Don't forget youpromised Hieionly two days this time."

Just as the lover's began kissing in earnest Shina walked out of her room. Seeing how distracted her parents were she got an idea. She called back to them as she headed out of the den. "I'm going into town for a while, see you later."

Without lifting his lips from the assault he launched on the Youko's neck Kuronue called to her. "Try again Little Fox."

Swearing softly she turned back. "Kuro-Daddy I'm so board, I need to get out of here. I'm fourteen, I can take care of myself."

Even though her parents were making out she knew they were waiting for her to come up with another option. "Alright, can I at least go see my cousins? Kina and Zima could probably use a break from Yuki and Kenji's wedding plans."

Kurama whispered in the ear he was nibbling before Kuronue answered. "Alright butagainst my better judgment,Kuwabara is in charge and be back before dark. Don't forget, Kurama will be gone when you get back."

Throwing her arms around them both she managed to get around Kuronue to kiss Kurama's cheek. "Love you both. Don't be gone too long Foxie-Mama, my Daddy's get cranky when you're gone."

Keeping their lower bodies close to hide their arousals from Shina, Kurama leaned back slightly to kiss her cheek. "I'll only be a couple of days little one. Be careful, have fun, take good care of your daddies for me and I love you too."

After she left Kurama started removing their clothes. "I'm sorry you get cranky when I'm gone Sweetheart. Let me make it up to you."


The next evening as Kurama sat in a tavern near Gandura he wished it were one of his lover's here with him instead of Yusuke. Yusuke seemed fascinated by something going on behind Kurama at the bar. "Kurama, you and Kuronue used to live around here right? Has he been back here since he came back to life?"

Kurama answered still not paying much attention. "Only once, he and Shina came with me to Yomi's about three years ago. Why?"

Yusuke tapped his arm to get his attention off his drink. "Check out the kid on the bar."

Sitting on the bar was a thin boy with dirty black hair. Knowing Yusuke was subtly trying to tell him something he took a better look. The boy was only wearing torn black pants that he had obviously outgrown some time ago. His hands were tied and he looked like he had been beaten. Then he saw what Yusuke was trying to tell him. Tied so tight behind him Kurama almost didn't see them were long black wings. He gasped when the boy looked up in defiance. Indigo eyes glared at the demons that had moved in for a closer look. Kuronue's eyes.

The serving girl asked if they wanted another drink. Seeing Kurama shocked speechless Yusuke pointed to the boy and flipped her a coin. "Hey honey, what's going on up there?"

She hitched her hip on the edge of the table. "That's Yokuro. His Ma got herself killed last week protecting him from one of her customers. Owner thinks he can earn back some of the money he lost on Mailyn by auctioning off her kid's virginity then putting him to work. Mailyn was a real moneymaker and he looks just like her with those black wings and all. Wouldn't get as much for him at a slave auction, Mailyn's Ma, Nikki, was a human that worked here a couple of hundred years ago. They say the wings come from one of her regular customers."

Yusuke sat quietly while his friend absorbed the information. It wasn't long before he heard Kurama speak softly. "Yusuke, Kuro used to come here. He liked things a little more… feminine sometimes."

He looked close at the kid again. "Then that could be his grandson. Kurama, what are you going to do?"

Kurama didn't answer but went to the bar and spoke to the owner. As Kurama left the bar the nervous owner made an announcement. "Back off you lechers. Auctions been canceled, the kid's been sold."

Kurama tossed some coins at the serving girl. "Get my friend another drink. Yusuke, anyone touches the kid shoot them then the owner. I'll be back in an hour."

Yusuke didn't flinch at Kurama's comment. "Sure you don't want us to come with you?"

With a very Hiei-like smirk Kurama turned back to his friend. "You can't. The owner thinks you're his hostage while I get the money for the kid."

Yusuke shook his head at the serving girl as she handed him his drink. "Hostage my ass!"


When Kurama returned to the tavern Yusuke was where he left him but the kid was gone and the owner was tied up on the bar. "Before you overreact Fox some of the girls are getting him cleaned up. I made him promise not to run. The one serving us is a friend of his Ma's and helped raise him. I said I'd kill her if he ran. The owner didn't think he needed a bath so I convinced him otherwise."

The serving girl brought Kurama a drink. "Your friend says you won't hurt him. Says you're his grandmother though I'd have sworn you were a guy."

He glared at Yusuke. "My friend has a strange sense of humor. My mate is the boy's grandfather and no one will ever harm him under our care."

"Guess that would make you the legendary bandit Yoko then. Mailyn named the boy for her father and his famous lover. Said she wanted him to be proud of who he was, not just the son of a whore." She turned as Yokuro came down the stairs slowly.

She held out her hand to him. "Come on boy I want you to meet someone. Yokuro, this is Yoko, he's going to take you to meet your grandfather, Kuronue. You remember your Ma talking about them don't you?"

Yokuro glared at Kurama. "I know they never came to take my Ma away from this filthy place like she always hoped."

Kurama looked at his new grandson solemnly. "I believe I owe you and your mother an apology Yokuro. I was jealous of the time Kuronue spent with your grandmother. Because he loved me he stopped seeing her, so we never knew about Mailyn. I promise you that had Kuronue known of her he would have seen that his daughter was taken care of. Perhaps we can make it up to her by taking care of you. How old are you Yokuro?"

"Fifteen. How old are you?" Yusuke laughed at the boy's attitude. His friends were in for a treat, raising a teenage boy.

"Four hundred years older than you. Kuronue is almost hundred years younger than me. Our daughter Shina however is your age. She'll be fifteen in a few months." He smiled at the shock on Yokuro's face.

"How do two guys have a kid?" Yokuro asked in disbelief.

"Why don't you come with me and my friend Yusuke and we'll tell you about Shina and the rest of your new family." Kurama tossed a bag at the owner then turned to leave with Yusuke.

When Yokuro hesitated his mother's friend pushed him after them. "Your Ma would have wanted you to go with them boy. Now go, make her proud and don't ever look back."

She was right, his mother would want this. Without looking back he followed them into the night.
