Final Facade

"Kurama you sure you'll be okay?"

"Yes mother, I'll be fine." Kurama sighed. Kazuya's grandmother had pasted away so Shuiichi, Shiori and Kazuya were going to the funeral. Kurama didn't think it would be appropriate that he went, especially since he didn't even know the woman. It also meant he would have the house to himself… that is if you don't count his wife.

"And no inviting any girls…"

"Only during the day when there are other people around. NO parties and I won't invite anyone to sleep -over who doesn't already live here. Alright?" Kurama replied stating all the rules they had placed on him. He had to smile… so many loopholes! "You don't have to worry Mother."

"You won't destroy the house or do anything dangerous alright?"

"I'll try. So have a… a good time at the funeral, I guess. That's what I should say." Kurama smiled as he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"I guess. Goodbye Kurama." Shiori said as she went to the car. Kurama waved them off. Once out of sight he turned around and entered the house. Sighing he closed the door and rested his head against it. A pair of arms circled him from behind, and wrapped him into a hug.

"Hey Botan" Kurama smiled

"Don't be so down." Botan said hugging him.

"It's not that, it's just… three more weeks." Kurama smiled.

"Yeah and then we don't have to hide. We'll have our first home."

"Of course we'll be sharing it with Hinageshi and Hiei."

"True… but oh well. You can't put me off that fact." Botan grinned as they headed upstairs.

"It's amazing. We've lasted one year and two…"

"Three, since yesterday." Botan interrupted.

"Alright, three months" Kurama said as they entered his room.

The next day.

Kurama came downstairs. Botan had gotten up earlier and started to make breakfast. At the moment she was cutting some fruit. Kurama came up behind her and gave her a hug. Kurama was only wearing a wife beater and some boxers; while Botan just wore a long baggy shirt. Over her underwear.

Kurama nuzzled her neck.

"Morning my Deity."

"Morning Fox." Botan smiled and kissed him. When they parted Kurama said.

"I must be the luckiest fox in all three realms to have married a deity like you." He had a coy smile on as he kissed her again. Behind them they heard a gasp followed by a thud. They then quickly jumped apart.

"Kurama…" Kazuya asked, " What are you doing?" His voice laced with disappointment. Shuiichi looked next to him in shock. Shiori had fainted on the ground.

"Father…um…" Kurama was lost for words. He glanced over at Botan. She was scared. He could smell it on her. Fear.

"We left the house with specific rules. To be followed and you just went a head and broke them."

"Actually, I haven't broken any of them… I'm still in line with the rules you had set" Kurama stated.

"Just help me with your mother." Kazuya said, the disappointment was clear in his voice. Kurama nodded and helped Kazuya carry his mother over to the couch. Botan and Shuiichi followed. "Shuiichi go get something to wake you…"

"Don't bother, I'm awake…but I had this odd dream. Kurama and Botan were in our kitchen making out in their pajamas. Funny dream wasn't it?" Shiori said as she slowly sat up. She looked around. Kurama looked at the ground guiltily.

Botan could have sworn that his fox earss his hand and gave him a supportive smile. He gave her a week smile in return. Taking a deep breat would be plastered against his head. She knew better then anyone that he didn't want this to happen like this. She grasph he said… "I guess we should explain…"

"No!" Shiori shouted. She had had enough. " Shuiichi, I thought you were smarter then this. I know you are smarter then this. But so far you have left me with no other choice…"

"Mother you can't!" Kurama said standing. " I love Botan with all my heart…"

"I'm sure you do. But you're only sixteen."

"I'm over 500" Kurama retorted

"I don't care, I'm still your mother!"

Kurama opened his mouth to say something but stopped. He had two cards left in his hand and each weren't a thing he wanted to say to his .mother. They would only make the situation worst.

"Mother. We're married" Kurama stated wincing. This was the best choice.

"Kurama you didn't have to be so blunt." Botan whispered. " I don't want to bring any of your family to Spirit World because they died of shock."

"It was the best choice. It was that or my parents would separate us." Kurama sighed.

Shiori and Kazuya were in shock. While Shuiichi grinned. " Cool, now I've got a sister. So would either of you like to explain how that happened?"

"Well about a year and three months ago, we had to get married because there was a rumor that somethingwas going to happen, soKoenma summoned us… literately to spirit World at around three in the morning."

"No one was really awake and he told us that us."

"He then arranged us all to get married."

"Hinageshi and I were the first to confront him."

"Then Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabarra and I saved Koenma from them, although we had to keep Hiei from killing him. He then made us get married." Kurama finished. "Mother just so you know, I haven't broken any of the rules. I had never let anyone who wasn't living here spend the night."

"You don't mean…"

"Every other night, I stay in Kurama's room. Some nights however I stay in spirit World since I would have to get to work early." Botan stated.

"Let me get this straight. Kurama you've been married for over a year… and we've just found out now/" Kazuya asked. Kurama nodded.

"Have you had your honeymoon yet." Shuiichi asked. Shiori snapped her head over to him and glared a glare that would make even Hiei cower in fear.

"Yes… but it was okay... until we got sick and attacked by demons."

"The resort?" The couple nodded.

"I see." Shiori said speaking for the first time. " Do you have any children you want to tell us about. Cause we'd like to know about them."

"No mother. There aren't any… we haven't really thought of having children yet. But we have rented an apartment with a another couple. Hiei and Hinageshi." Kurama muttered looking down. Botan looked over at his family. This wasn't going good, and Kurama knew it. She stood up and glared at her in-laws. Funny how she never called them her in-laws before.

"I don't see why you must give Kurama such a hard time. Why can't you accept the fact that we are married? Sure we got married sooner then we had expected. But it was bound to happen sooner or later. Shiori… Kurama loves you so much and would do practically anything for you. But right now you are telling him to make a horrible choice. You or me. Please, I love him, and I hate seeing him in pain. It hurts me so much. It hurts even more knowing that you are the one causing it. We had always hoped that we could spare you from this knowledge, and perhaps have a formal, human wedding. But please… fate was cruel and . I specifically told you we're newlyweds." Botan said.

Shiori stood " Fate handed us a horrible hand, soplease… don't be mad at him any more." Botan pleaded. "Besides, when I told you were married you didn't act like this."

"When?" Kazuya asked

"At the banquet." Botan replied

"Botan let me talk to you in the kitchen… alone." She added when she saw Kazuya and Kurama stand. They both sat back down.

Shiori and Botan walked into the kitchen.

"Umm…Shiori?" Botan asked slightly afraid.

"Botan… tell me do you love my son?" Shiori asked

"Yes I do. The truth is I love him so much it's amazing I lasted so long without him in my life. I worry about him so much… whether he's on a mission or if he is eating right. I worry. I worry whether or not he'll be coming back after a mission. There are times I even get nightmares of Yusuke coming up to me and telling me something has happened to Kurama. But you probably don't want me to talk to you about these things." Botan grinned.

Shiori was shocked; this girl truly did love her son. "So what about when he turns back to his demon form and returns to the demon world. What then?"

"Well, I don't mean to be rude. But have you seen his demon Form?" Botan gave a sly grin. "I'd follow him to the ends of the world… any one of them."

Shiori grinned." Well… I guess I'll have to put up with you… after all you are everything I would have asked for in a daughter-in-law and you do love my son and he seems to love you as well." She sighed. "Besides, I like you… you do my son well. But hurt him in any way, I don't care if you're death. You will die." Botan nodded. "So tell me. When will I be seeing grandchildren?"

"SHIORI!" Botan blushed.

"Common let's go back before the guys think I've killed you." Shiori smiled.

"Okay" Botan said… still beat red.

When the two returned. Botan met Kurama's eyes. Smiling Kurama felt a sense of relief.

"You know… I asked Botan this same question. When will I be getting grandchildren?"

"MOTHER!" Kurama blushed.

"What? It's not like I'm getting any younger" Shiori replied. Kurama just groaned. "Well know… if that's everything then let's have some breakfast."

"Finally. I'm starving." Shuiichi stated

"Mother by the way… What are you doing here? You shouldn't have been back for another few days." Kurama said confused.

Shuiichi, Shiori, and Kazuya all sweatdropped and sighed. "That is a long story."

Hey… this is the final installment of my series. I might make a sequel, but for the moment I'm in a kind of writer's block.Any who. Please RR. So until next time.
