Hello again everyone! I just found out something interesting about Kurama's name. The name his human mother gave him that is. I saw in the manga that it's spelled Shuichi. I wouldn't have guessed it was spelled with an h. Well anyway here's my review responses and the next chapter.

Review responses:

Koroga: Thank you! I'm glad you like my story.

K'S GIRL: Glad you think so. I'll update whenever I can.

Jagz: Yeah I like doing elemental and magical stuff. I'm totally into fantasy stuff. I don't know if Kurama can do that in the show, but he can in my fic. The games were the same one's Yusuke and Kuwabara played during Genkai's tournament. The punching game tested how much power the person had, the janken tested the person's spiritual awareness, and the karaoke showed the person's ability to grow power wise. At least that's how I remember it. I could be wrong.

Alright then. Time for K.L. to meet her familiar. Hope she can handle it!

K.L. got bored with the games eventually. Yukina offered to take her into the forest for a walk. She agreed ready for something to do. As they walked K.L. decided to ask Yukina about Kuwabara.

"Hey Yukina, do you understand what Kuwabara means when he talks about love?," she asked. Yukina shook her head.

"No, I just thought he's trying to be funny. He can be such a goof," she replied. K.L. laughed.

"I won't argue with that. But you don't know what love is?" Yukina shook her head again and looked at K.L. curiously. K.L. struggled to think of a way to explain it. "Love is a warm feeling right in your heart. You always want to be with the person you love. You're happy when they're happy, and when they're sad or upset you feel the need to see them smile again. You want to spend the rest of your life with that person and have a family. That is how Kuwabara feels towards you and he thinks you feel the same way towards him. Do you? Because if you don't you should tell him before his feelings are completely crushed." Yukina blinked and tried to process the information K.L. had just given her.

"I think I understand," she said slowly. "So, he wants to be my mate then?" K.L. nodded remembering from the fanfiction she had read that a mate is like a husband or wife.

"Yes and he cares deeply about you. Do you feel the same?" Yukina looked down and didn't answer. K.L. could see her thinking hard about it. She put a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Look, think about it for a while. If you realize you don't love him then you had better tell him. If you do love him then well you still should tell him." Yukina nodded.

"I'll do that. Do you mind if I go off on my own to think?"

"Nah that's ok, I can find my way back when I'm done with my walk." Yukina smiled gratefully and wandered off into the forest. K.L. watched her go for a moment, then went in the opposite direction to give her friend some privacy. She frowned as she started walking. There was a strange energy coming from up ahead. It didn't feel dangerous, but she felt like she should check it out anyway. A few yards ahead there was a strange movement in the bushes and she could hear a strange whimpering noise. She moved the foliage aside and revealed a small wolf pup curled into a tight ball, whimpering in distress. Poor thing. It must have been abandoned by it's pack. She reached down and carefully caressed the pup's fur. The pup stopped whimpering as soon as she touched it and it's tail began to wag slowly. It raised it's head up to look at her. The tail began to wag harder when K.L. began to pet the pup's head. The pup gave a small whine and looked at her imploringly, as if asking to be held. K.L. carefully picked up the pup and held it to her chest. The pup sighed happily and snuggled into her chest. K.L. examined the pup with interest. She had sleepy golden eyes and dark gray fur. Around her head was a ring of russet colored fur right between her ears like a halo.

"You are such a sweet little thing," she cooed affectionately. "And I know what to call you. With that little halo on your head it's obvious. I'll call you Angel. Do you like that? My name is K.L. by the way. How bout I bring you home with me?" She had spoken out of instinct without even thinking about it. She was very surprised when the pup answered.

: Angel good name. Like K.L. Nice, warm, not scared anymore. Stay with K.L. Not be alone anymore. : K.L.'s eyes widened in surprise. The pup! It...she...had just talked! In her mind! Could this be her familiar that Koenma had mentioned? She tried to reply in the same manner that Angel had.

: Angel, can you understand me?: Angel looked up at her with a startled look on her face.

: Angel understands two legger words! K.L. understand Angel's words! K.L. first two legger to understand Angel!: Suddenly her ears drooped and she looked sad. : Angel try to talk to two leggers for long time. Pack think Angel not belong. Left Angel in scary woods. Angel afraid all the time.

: Oh you poor thing! Well like I said, you can come home with me. We'll be good friends you'll see. I'll keep you safe.: Angel's ears went back to their normal position and her tail began to wag again.

: Friend! Pack! Good, safe! : She looked up questioningly. : Food too? No food for long time.: K.L. laughed.

: Of course food too. I'll see if Genkai has any meat we can give you. :

: Good. Go to den now. Warm, safe, be with new pack. : With that she promptly snuggled against K.L. again and closed her eyes. : Sleep now. Safe to sleep. : K.L. held her close and she quickly drifted off. K.L. smiled and headed back to Genkai's temple. Genkai saw her coming and noticed the small pup in her arms.

"So is that your familiar?," she asked quietly. careful not to wake the pup. K.L. nodded.

"I think so. She spoke to me in my head. She understands spoken English and had been trying to talk to humans for a while. Her pack abandoned her for being so strange. She said she was scared and I don't think she's eaten anything recently. Do you have some meat I could give her?"

"Yes I think so. I'll go look and if I do you can give it to her when she wakes up. I'll get you a bowl of water for her as well. Yukina's in the other room getting a bed ready for you. Do you want a basket for her to sleep in?" K.L. shook her head.

"No that's ok. She can sleep next to me."

"Have you found what your element is?"

"Not yet. But I'm sure I'll figure it out. How long do you think it'll take for my powers to show?" Genkai shrugged.

"I have no idea. But I could sense your energy before now, it was just...hidden. So I'm sure it won't be much longer."

"Ok then." K.L. gave a huge yawn. "I'm really tired, I think I'll go to bed now. Good night Genkai."

"Good night." K.L. headed to the room Yukina had shown her earlier and curled up under the blankets. She put Angel next to her so she was snuggled up against her stomach. She stroked Angel's fur and sighed contentedly. She was so soft and cute. She would make sure to take good care of the little pup. She closed her eyes and fell asleep dreaming about her first mission she would do with the spirit detectives.

Yeah another chapter done! Boy I seem to have alot of similar things in my fics huh? Hope you like the story so far. Thank you all for your reviews and support. See you all next time!
