All characters here belong to the makers and producers of Yu Yu Hakusho and J.K. Rowlings respectively. I only own Raven and the storyline and since I make no money from this, don't sue me. I'm poor anyways. So sit back and enjoy and please review. As always, flames welcome as long as you are polite and give constructive criticism.
Shiori answered and appeared a bit nervous also, she seemed a bit surprised to see the three holding hands, but welcomed them in. They sat in the living room, the three sitting across from Shiori and Kurama took a deep breathe as he regarded his mother.
"Mom, I really hope that you will accept this news and me when I am done. Please realize I have never meant to hurt or lie to you." Shiori nodded, unsure and worried. Kurama took a deep breathe, felt Hiei and Raven both squeeze his hand in support and went ahead. "Mother, what do you know about demons?"
Some hours later.....
Raven sat on the couch in her apartment, looking at Kurama, who was still very quiet after having left his mother's house. She turned her attention to the kitchen doorway as Hiei came out, balancing three bowls of "sweet snow" in his hands. He held out one to Raven with a small smile, which she returned, taking the bowl. He then turned and sat next to Kurama, offering him a bowl.
Kurama seemed to come out of some type of self erected shell and looked blankly at the ice cream for a moment before taking it out of Hiei's hands with a soft "thanks". Raven took a bite of the ice cream, her eyes watching the two men sitting across from her as her mind went over the scene at Kurama's mother's house.
Raven had known he was nervous when he had first started to speak.
"Mother, what do you know about demons?" Shiori had looked very confused by this question, but had given them a small explination about demons, most of it accurate, as she had read from the wizarding books. However, she had also been under the impression that demons were evil. After she had finished talking, she had looked at the three in suspicious silence, watching them. "Why do you ask?"
Kurama had taken a deep breath and just spit it out. "Please understand mother, that hurting you is the last thing I ever wanted to do, but I am tired of keeping this a secret from you. I hope that you can love me just like you always have." another deep breath "My name is Youko Kurama. I am a fox demon, centuries old. 19 years ago I had gotten hurt by a hunter and in a desperate move, had used my remaining energy to send my spirit to the human realm and fused with a growing fetus... in your womb." Kurama never took his eyes from her face while he said this, his face pale as he watched the emotions running across Shiori's face.
She had stared at her son for a long moment, and then her eyes moved to Hiei, questioningly. Hiei gave a small nod "I am also a demon, although this is my true form. You always wonder what I do for a living? Well, I work as a spirit detective, to remove those demons that have gained access to this world and put them back in their own world. Yusuke is my partner." He cast a sideways glance at Kurama, must have gotten the confirmation he was looking for and continued "Kurama worked as a Spirit Detective as well, since he was 14. He quit when we got married. Kuwabara was also a spirit detective, but he only gets called on now in emergencies.... as does Kurama."
Shiori rubbed the bridge of her nose, trying to comprehend this news. Her eyes moved up to Raven, who gave a timid smile. "Where do you come in with all this?" Her voice was harsher then she would have wanted, but she couldn't keep the emotions out of her voice. She was still trying to get over the fact that Shuuichi was not really her son, but a demon she had raised. It was giving her a headache.
Raven shook her head "I am just a witch who ended up getting a room at your son's place." Kurama felt pain in his heart as he watched Shiori wince at the word "son".
Raven sighed softly "I am here for support for Kurama and Hiei, and you as well. I am not as close to this situation as you three." Shiori nodded, raised tear filled eyes up and looked at Kurama and then Hiei before looking at Raven. She lowered her head and stood, "I think you three should leave now."
Kurama stood and made a move towards his mother "Mother?" Shiori winced again "Just go, I need time to think." She raised distrustful eyes to look at Kurama and in an odd moment of connection between the three, Raven reached over and grabbed Hiei by the arm, as he tensed. No one hurt his fox, not even Shiori.
Raven took Kurama's arm in her other hand and the three watched as Shiori ran from the room, and up the stairs. Raven's hand on Kurama's arm and holding back Hiei was the only thing that kept them from running after her, each for their own reasons.
She looked up at the two with tear filled eyes "Come on guys, let's go home." Hiei turned his gaze from the staircase she had just fled to and looked first at Raven's strained features and then to his husband. The look on Kurama's face was what caused him to wrap his arm around his fox and guide him from the house, Raven locking it up tight behind her.
The walk home had been silent, Kurama not speaking at all and Hiei and Raven sharing uneasy glances. They had arrived at their house, sat on the couch, looking at each other for an unknown amount of time before Hiei suggested "sweet snow".
Now here they were, unknowing of how to help Kurama deal with his mother's seeming rejection. The ice cream was eatten in silence and bowls were just about empty when a knock sounded on the door. Raven looked up and walked towards the door, leaving the two men on the couch. She returned a moment later, with a strained looking Shiori behind her.
Hiei gave a small growl to his mother in law, but Kurama mearly stood and gazed at her with a deadend expression. Shiori gave Raven and Hiei an uneasy glance, and as with all women, Raven caught onto what was needed and softly asked Hiei to help her wash the ice cream dishes in the kitchen, knowing Shiori needed to talk to Kurama alone.
Hiei followed Raven into the kitchen and growled at her softly. "I want to be in there, Raven." Raven put her bowl in the sink and turned to find him right behind her. She looked up into his face and nodded "I know Hiei, but trust me, Shiori and Kurama need to be alone right now." Hiei growled "Ningen's and their emotions. I will never understand it."
Raven smiled and began to wash the dishes, trying to draw Hiei's mind from the conversation taking place in the living room. "What is your favorite type of ice cream, Hiei?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama watched as his husband and housemate went into the kitchen and then turned uneasy eyes to his mother as she looked at the floor, her hands, anywhere but him. "Mother?"
Shiori didn't wince this time, hearing the words coming from his mouth. "I'm sorry, Shuuichi. You took me by surprise. Please forgive me. I had heard tales about Youko Kurama and it was hard to imagine that the son I raised was also a thief and a murderer. But after I had calmed down, I was able to realize that you told me this to stop having secrets between us. I kept it from you I was a Squib...." her voice trailed off as Kurama came up and hugged her close to him. "I love you mother."
"I love you too, Shuuichi." Kurama pulled back from her, a thoughtful expression on his face "You know, it is probably because you are a Squib that I entered your womb."
(A/N And there you go, I wrote another chapter for this. I was going to be evil and leave out this last little bit, stopping with Raven asking what Hiei's favorite ice cream is, but I decided not to. So, hope you enjoyed it. Everqueen)
And now for my reviewers.....

Angelyna-kat ~ Sorry this took a whole lot of time to come out, couldn't help it. yeah, the whole Kurama and Hiei thing shocked me the first time I read a story that paired them, but now that I think on it, it makes sense to me. I hope that Raven is cool. I like writing about her. LOOK I WROTE!!!! ROFL
Kitsune Girl ~ I am glad you like it, and that you think adding someone else in was spicy.

Sugoi-Girl ~ I am glad you like it. How is it amazing? Thanks for the review.
callicokitten92 ~ I don't know why I write Hiei and Kurama together, because I am not that big of a fan of Yaoi, they just seem right. Glad you like it.
Kitsune's Grrl ~ Thank you for the compliment. I know how it is to need reviews to get some motivation for Chapter 2. Sometimes it's that lone review a few weeks after your last chapter post on a story that gives you that oomph to post a new one.
(A/N There you go, hope you like it. I might do a song fic for this fiction, kinda in the mood to do so, but I really need to find a good song to do it on. Any suggestions would be nice. As before, thanks for all and any reviews. You guys rock. Ja ne!)
