---------------------Last Time with Kurama & Tsuki---------

(Which was in chapter 2! On with the story)

Kurama shrugged and followed her. While Kurama was following Tsuki, his eyes looked at her ass and he blushed. 'I really have to stop talking to Yoko. He's turning me into a pervert.' With that thought Kurama sped up.

--------------------This time------------------------------

To the human eyes they were nothing but blurs but if you had demonic sight, you would see a young woman and a young man running down Tokyo's streets. 'So the fox thinks he can keep up? Lets see how fast he can go.' thought the young woman or rather Tsuki, as she ran faster.

'What is her problem? Why is she going so fast?" thought Kurama as he tried to keep up.

Five minutes later had them stopping in front of a very larger set of stairs. Leading to what looked to be a shrine.

---Fox? ---

Tsuki-sama

--You are to repeat nothing you witness here. —---

Kurama simply nodded his head, with that Tsuki leaped up the stairs, Kurama following. Reaching the top it was indeed a shrine. You could see a two-story house off to the left side of the shrine ground. The rest of the grounds where taking up by a rather large temple. There looked to be a park/forest in the back.

Tsuki's POV

'It's the same. The same as it was all those years ago. But.................. is he? He is alive? Does he still live here?' I thought as I steeped up to the front door. Knocking, I realized, with fear, what happens if he is dead? What will I do then?' I heard footsteps inside. Then a click of the lock, someone was opening the door. When they finally had the door open my breath caught, there he stood, still very much alive. "Brother?" I barely manger to whisper. It was he, my brother, was alive. There before me stood not my seven year old brother, but a seventeen year old boy. "Conhue? Is that you?" I asked him, he had pitch-black hair with a red tint to it. His eyes, were a vivid red-gold. He had no markings on his face. But had pointed ears and fangs, a tail, if not for a concealment spell. He looked just as I remembered.

He blinked "C-C-C-Cectpa? Tsuki?" he whispers, tears starting to make themselves known in his eyes. "Hai." I respond.

Kurama's POV

'This is a well kept shrine, but something isn't right, I sense Youkai here' I thought as I noticed Tsuki-sama walking toward the house. 'She seems to know where to go, has she been here? Why is she all of the sudden nervous?' I questioned as I followed her.

$ She seemed so calm a minute ago, now she is nervous? I like her; she's a puzzle waiting to be solved. $

Yes, but I wander how she knew of this place.............she seems to be on familiar terms with this shrine.

'Then I heard knocking..........Wait knocking?' I noticed we had already made it to the door and that Tsuki was knocking on the door. 'So she does seem to know about humans............ that's curious.' A younger man opened the door; he looked to be about seventeen. He was a Youkai, a ruby kitsune it seemed. He had all his demonic markings out but his tail. I heard Tsuki whisper 'Brother? Conhue?' That was her brother!? But she isn't a fox demon, what in the worlds? Then the younger man or Conhue rather spoke 'Cectpa? Tsuki?' What are they speaking, that's not English or Japanese.

$ It sounds like Russian. $

What are they Russian? Too many questions and no answers in sight.

Tsuki smile slightly "Are you going to let us in Conhue?" Conhue was a bit flustered "Huh?................. Of course!" he said opening the door more and allowing them to enter. Conhue had just noticed Kurama and glared at him 'Who is he!?'. Kurama froze for he had felt his glare. Kurama looked around for the source of the glare, but instead noticed the house was quaint nice. "Conhue this is Kurama-san, kurama-san this is my brother Conhue." Tsuki introduced, them. Conhue noticed she didn't say mate so was less nervous about the stranger. 'So he is her brother but how? They aren't even the same type of demon let alone look alike.' Thought Kurama. "Conhue, do you think we could sit down?" asked Tsuki; they were still standing in the foyer. "Huh?...............Oh? Yea she thing Cectpa!" responded Conhue, who had still been glaring at Kurama. "Cectpa?" questioned Kurama. "Hmmm? It means sister in Russian." Answered Tsuki. "Oh? Are you Russian Tsuki-Sama?" "Iie, my brother is half Russian half Japanese, I'm full blooded Japanese." Answered Tsuki, looking a little uncomfortable with the subject. 'Oh so he is her half-brother. Now it makes some sense.' Thought Kurama. They arrived in the living room and sat down, Tsuki sitting on the love-sit, Kurama in a chair, and Conhue on the couch. After sitting there for a while, Tsuki decided to speak "How did you survive?" It was the one question both Conhue and Tsuki had been dreading, but had to be asked.

Tsuki's POV

'Conhue wouldn't meet my eyes; I knew something was wrong then. Conhue had always prided himself on his manners and courage.' After what seemed hours he spoke, but in a dejected, hurt, and sad voice. 'He sounded like he did when he was little.' I thought. "Tsuki, after you left, after y-you disappeared. Oteu err um Aemoh betrayed us he, k-killed okkasan, they grandmother. He was laughing the whole time.

Flshback

Author's POV

"AEMOH! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME?! US?!" screamed a woman, in about her thirties, she looked normal enough. Unless you count the tail, fangs, cat eyes, and pointed ears. She was a demon, and a mother. "Sukara, get back here!" screamed an old woman, also a demon she looked to be the mother of the other woman or Sukara. "Grandmother, Mommy!!!!" screamed a younger version of Conhue.

#$#$#$##$#$##$##$Conhue's POV$#&#$#$$#$###$&&$&$#

As I screamed for my mother and grandmother, I looked at the man I once called Oteu. 'Father............why are you doing this? Why are you hurting us? Did we do something wrong? Do you not love us anymore?' my Russian father, stood be for me in all his demon glory. He was kitsune, a midnight kitsune to be exact. He laughed again saying " Why Sukara I'm not the one who betrayed you it was that slut of a daughter Tsuki that betrayed you. Then you believed her and not your husband, you brought this on your self." He said the started to attack, but grandmother interfered. "Don't you ever speak of my granddaughter like that again." She threatens. "Old hag you are dead. Don't ever threaten me!" he yelled while thrusting his hand through her chest. "MAMA!!!" "GRANDMOTHER!!!!" her limb body fell to the ground, blood pouring from her wound. "You BASTARD!!!!" mother screamed, she turned to be and said "Gomen, son but run, and keep running. Never turn around, you need to live, and find your sister tell her what happened and that I never blamed her." I hesitated "RUN!!"

END FLASHBACK

"That was the last thing I saw before she throw me into a portal, and I blacked out." Finished Conhue who had tear streaks on his face. "I-I-I'm so sorry Conhue...............I didn't mean.........-I'm so sorry, I can't image what you were put through." Cried an emotional Tsuki. Kurama got up and went and hugged Tsuki, who for some reason didn't shove him away. "no it- I – don't apologists for it. It couldn't have been help-"Stared Conhue but Tsuki stood up and yelled "NO! If I had been there Aemoh wouldn't have done this. He would have killed me and be done with this." Tsuki finished crying. "Tsuki" whispered Kurama "Cectpa, there was nothing you could have done Oteu or Aemoh would have killed us all even with you there." Stated Conhue while hugging his sister in Kurama's place.

"OK, I understand, I'm glad you are alive Brother. I will see you soon, by myself next time maybe." Said Tsuki giving Kurama a pointed glare. Kurama gulped thinking 'ok so much for warming up to each other.' "Your leaving Sister? Already?" asked a slightly worried Conhue. "Hai, it's already dusk. I think I and Kurama-san had better go." She said, she walked over to Conhue and hugged him. She then turned to Kurama and said, "let's leave" as the headed toward the door. "Ja Ne Cectpa, oh? And Kurama isn't your boyfriend or something is he?" asked a curios and slightly possessive Conhue. Tsuki and Kurama froze. "Iie, he isn't and Conhue?" answered Tsuki. "Yes?" responded Conhue. "STAY OUT OF MY BUSSINESS!" Shouted Tsuki, while walking out the door followed by Kurama.

Ten minutes later with Kurama and Tsuki

They had ended up at the park that this whole thing started in. The silence was getting on Kurama's nerves. For one Yoko wouldn't shut-up and He knew Tsuki was worried about something.

$ Kurama, Let me out! $

No! One what if a human sees you? Two why do you want out?

$ I want to talk to her! Freak the humans! I want to talk to her...........................I like her (added in smaller voice) $

I can't let you out-WHAT!!! You like her?! We barely know her!

$ I like her; I want her as my mate! And I know you like her too! I'm in your head! (Yoko added causing Kurama to blush)!

They stopped walking and Tsuki jumped up into a tree landing soundlessly on a branch. Kurama walked over and stood under said tree.

---Foxes? ---

Tsuki-sama?!

$ Yes? $

"Hn. You can call me Tsuki. After what you both just heard there is no need for formality. Don't you agree Yoko?" Tsuki said jumping down to land right in front of Kurama. "I agree but I was wandering about all of this and you." Said a semi transformed Kurama. Tsuki looked him in the eyes "If you are going to change we need to be away from peeping humans." She said turning to walk away. Kurama said nothing and followed. Ten minutes later found them in a forest to dark for humans to see. "Where are we?" asked Kurama, who for now was normal. "We are in my back yard." Was the reply he got.

Backyard??

$ Most Midnight kitsunes have a place of their own. This 'backyard must be hers. $

--- Yoko is right. Hmm.................. Yoko aren't you a Silver? ---

$ Yes I am how did you know? $

--- Hn. Like you didn't know you own reputation fox. ---

Tsuki then stopped in a clearing; a huge tree in the middle and the rest was full of flowers. Kurama looked around and saw Tsuki looking at him. "You can change here if you wish" was all she said. She then headed toward the tree, jumping into the braches and disappearing.

After she jumped in the tree Kurama looked around. He noticed that the tree seemed to be very old maybe centuries. Also that the place was very well taken care of, almost as if another Silver fox had taken care of it.

Yoko? What are Midnight Kitsunes known for?

$# They control plants and darkness. They work better in the dark and are usually very secretive. The species its self most of the time keeps to its self and usually live in groups. They don't except others that aren't blood and never adapt.

So if they don't adapt then...............

--- Are you going to ask or do you wish to try to figure it out your self?---------

Kurama noticed Tsuki had jumped down from the tree. She now was standing right in front of Him. ' I wander how I didn't notice that.' He thought. ' I hate it when he spaces out like that. Even if I know that he is talking to Yoko I don't like it.' Thought still emotional Tsuki. "Well? Where do you want me to start? And your right this place was taken care of by a Silver, well sort of. And its safe here so do as you wish." Finish Tsuki turning around to go back to her tree. Kurama just looked at her.

$# KURAMA! Let me out now! I want to know what she meant about another Silver. Let me out! $#

Fine. I'll let you out just don't piss her off. She is already off balance.

With that a Blue mist surrounded Kurama. When the mist died there stood the legendary Yoko Kurama, the Expert Thief. (For those of you who don't know) Kurama or rather Yoko was now about 5" taller, had silver hair, claws, fangs, five silver tails, and cute fox ears on top of his head.

Tsuki was in shock from her seat in the tree she could see Yoko clearly and to say he was handsome was an understatement. She quickly pulled herself together when she noticed Yoko walking over to her tree.

"What did you mean about another silver?" asked Yoko, looking up at Tsuki. She jumped down and answered saying "not another silver a sort of silver. sigh I'm half silver, half midnight, that's what I mean." Yoko had been looking at her eyes, but his traveled down to her lips. 'Nice rosy, full lips.' He thought and before Tsuki could blink, Yoko brushed his lips against hers. His hands making their way to hers to pull them up over her head and pin them to the tree. This time pushing his lips against hers.

Tsuki stood there in total shock. 'He's kissing me!...............No not this again!' She screamed in her mind

Flash Back (IN TSUKI'S POV)

I was pinned against a tree, by my Oteu, no by Aemoh. This thing is not my father. He started kissing me, thrusting his tongue into my mouth, as I struggled wildly to get free.

END FLASH BACK AND POV

When Tsuki started struggling Yoko let her go. But as soon as he did she took off out of the forest. The now retransformed Kurama following.

"NO...........that wasn't Aemoh, it was Yoko. Kami when will this nightmare end?' Tsuki thought as she approached Genkai's with Kurama right behind.

Walking inside Genkai's Tsuki nods her greeting and sits down on the window seat. Not sparing Kurama another glance. 'What did I do? She seemed to like it at first' he thought as he sat down on the couch with Genkai. About this time Jenna and Hiei came in.
