Chapter 2 – Reunion?

Kagome lay awake on her bed. She had just received an email from her mother saying that they were going to be staying in America permantly. Which suited her just fine, now she didn't have to worry about her family while she was out saving the world. She giggled lightly at her own thoughts. Sitting up she turned on her laptop and logged on to her Instant message. Really she didn't know why she had it but Shippo insisted. Glancing at it she added the names of some people Yusuke told her to add. Once done one logged one.

Smiling Kagome saw it was Kaiko. Smiling she IM'ed her.

Kagome shook her head at the girl's work ethic and logged off. Glancing at her clock she saw it was about 5 in the morning. 'Well guess I'll call Fluffster now' she giggled at the name. Flipping open her cell phone she dialed his number. After only two rings the other line picked up. "Speak" a rather irrated voice answered. "Aww Fluffster don't be so mean" she mocked a hurt voice hearing a growl on the other end "Kagome don't call me that." He growled there was a slight pause and he spoke again. "Why are you calling? It to early for you to be up." He said a slight hint of concern seeping into his voice.

"Nothing just wondering if you wanted to meet up today?" she asked, smiling as she saw, in her mind, Sesshomaru relax. "10 o'clock Kagura really wants to see you again. She has been driving me crazy for the past century about it," he grumbled, causing Kagome to laugh.

"Okay well bye Fluffy I have to wake everyone up." "Stop calling me that!" he roared on the other end, only to be answered with a fit of laughter. "Bye Brother." Kagome said calmly. "Bye Imoto" There was a click as both parties shut there phones.

Yusuke had spent the night in Makai so she got up. Flipping open her communicator she saw Botan's head fill the screen. "Hey Botan!" "Hey Kagome! Can I help you?" she asked her cheery voice always a pleasant thing for Kagome. "Yeah can you watch Shippo and Kirara for me? If I helps I can bring them to Spirit world. I have something to take care of" Kagome explained seeing the questioning look on Botan's face. A Huge smile was her answer. "Sure no problem I have the next few days off so I'll just pop on in. How about ten minutes?" she asked, Seeing Kagome nod she waved as closed the link.

Kagome having already taken a shower pulled on some black baggy pants with a dark blue shirt that had "Life's a bitch" on the front and "But death is a wonderland" Smiling she braided her hair and grabbed her cell phone and a dagger. Her blue eyes smiled upon her kit and fire-neko friend. "Shippo sweetie, momma's going now," she purred as her kit clung to her. "I'll be back later okay? And Miss Botan is going to be staying with you." She smiled as her kit released her just a Botan appeared. Wearing a pink tank top and blue jeans. Smiling she hugged Kagome and smiled as Shippo and the neko. "Alright then Botan I'll see you later?" Kagome said as she left. Shippo pouted but as soon as Botan offered him some candy he was happy again.

Kagome walked down the street, silently until a long black limo came up next to her. She stopped as the back windows rolled down. She smiled as she recognized Kagura's face. "Need a lift?" the wind demoness joked and opened the door to show that she still wore the same style kimono's has she had those many years ago, it had red and white designs of the wind covering it with a small blue crescent moon on the sleeves. Kagome nodded and slide in beside her.

While the ride was rather short Kagome and Kagura didn't seem to notice they were to busy chatting. Yes they had been enemies at one point. Btu in the three weeks before the final battle Kagome, Sango and Kagura had become fast friends. "So Kagome what's this I hear about you living with Yusuke? The Lord Battle Demon? And him being your cousin?" Kagome smiled. " Yusuke is my cousin that's where I got my Miko energy from, and yes I'm staying with Yusuke for the next few years because my family didn't want me staying at the shrine by myself." Kagura smiled and shook her head.

"You know Sesshomaru isn't going to allow that, as soon as he finds out that you are staying for more than a month he is going to drag you to live with us." She said and I sighed. "Hai I know" The Wind demoness giggled as she pulled up to a...well Massive, huge the largest mansion kagome had ever seen!

The limo pulled up to a huge iron gate with the initials ' S. K'. AS they pulled in Kagome smiled, the driveway was a huge circle with a fountain in the middle. The Mansion its self was a made out of what seemed to be large black bricks. Blinking blue eyes she shook her head, it wasn't a mansion it was a castle. She smiled as the drive came around to their side and opened the door. She smiled when she noticed it was Jaken. "Hello Jaken" she greeted, stepping out with the wind demoness right behind her.

The Toad demon bowed. "Morning Mi'Ladies Kagura-sama and Kagome-sama" he said. Kagura just scuffed and pulled Kagome away. Stepping up to the large oak door she entered. The large foyer was the size bigger than a highschool's gymnasium. Smiling She watched as Kagura dropped her false appearance. Seeing as it was safe Kagome did the same. She changed almost instantly. Fangs and claws grew as her hair gained red streaks. Smiling she hugged the wind demoness and followed her down he hall. Happy she was able to move about in her demon form. The soon came to a large set of black oak doors. Kagura raised a pale hand to knock but was stopped by a semi cold voice speaking.

"Come in" Smiling at each other then entered to see Sesshomaru wearing a pair of black slacks with a navy blue dress shirt. His long silver blue tress pulled black in a low ponytail as his golden eyes locked with Kagome's silver ones. Sesshomaru stood as Kagome tackled him hugging him. Sesshomaru chuckled lightly as kagome pulled away. "Fluffster!" she cheered, Sesshomaru gave her an annoyed look as his mate, Kagura laughed lightly. "Kagome…." He growled, but was interrupted by his mate's giggle. Sighing he sat down and nodded for both of the females to do the same. "So tell me, why are you staying with the detective?" Sesshomaru asked golden eyes narrowed.

Making Kagome and Kagura sigh. "When I came back home my mother said she was going to visit family in America, so she brought my grandfather and Souta, my little brother, along so that they wouldn't both me." She paused and stared off into the distant. "She left a note saying that Yusuke my cousin, the Battle demon detective as you are calling him, would be coming to pick me, Shippo and Kirara up. Because she didn't want me staying by myself." She said, silver blue eyes turning back to Sesshomaru. "So Yusuke came and I have been staying with him" she said, Sesshomaru sighed :"Fine." Kagura smiled. "So Kagome what are you going to do now?" she asked, Kagome smiled at the wind demoness. "I don't know it has been around five hundred years for you but for me its only been a few weeks" she said, Sesshomaru nodded. As Kagura gasp she had forgotten that! "Oh I'm sorry Kagome-chan!" she apologized but Kagome waved it off. "Its fine Kagura It doesn't hurt that bad anyways." She said her tone sounding a lot like Sesshomaru's emotionless one. Standing she smiled and hugged her brother and her sister in law. "It was great to see you again fluster and Kagura but I have to get back to my Kit." She smiled, Sesshomaru nodded. "You will come again" he commanded making Kagome laugh "And you will stop calling me that name" he growled making both women laugh harder. Sesshomaru growled in exasperation. Kagome smiled and turned back to her human form. And walked out, and back to Yusuke's apartment.

"Momma!" Shippo called and tackled Kagome as she came up the steps kagome smiled and nuzzled her nose to Shippo's as she walked up the stairs to see Kirara standing there Growling at a figure. Blinking Kagome titled her head to the side. Who was that? He had long red hair and was wearing a yellow and white fighting kimono. Smiling she realized it was Kurama. "Ohayo Kurama-san" she greeted and called Kirara off. The little fire cat came to her mistress and nuzzled her leg.

Kurama turned and smiled. "Hello Kagome" Kurama said lightly a smile spreading on his gorgeous face.

Kagome slightly blushed. "Hello Kurama" she smiled back, looking around she noticed Botan was around. As they walked in she paused and turned to the fox spirit. "Where's Botan Kurama?" she asked as her kit and fire neko went to her room. Kurama smiled and sat down next to her on the couch. "She had to go and she said to tell you that she was terribly sorry and hoped you did mind if I stayed here?" he asked emerald green eyes smiling at her. "No its fine," she replied smiling she tilted her head. "So mind if I ask you something?" she wondered who he really was.

Kurama smiled. "No go ahead as long as I may ask a question in return." He answered still smiling. Kagome nodded. "SO how exactly did you meant Yusuke?" she asked, Kurama grinned knowing she would ask that. Ten minutes later found Kurama finishing up his story "And after the Dark tournament I was able to change between either form at will" he finished. Kagome smiled. "I see so you're a fox spirit" she smiled nodding she waited for Kurama to ask his question. "How did you come by Shippo?" he asked, "And why does your aura have a bit of Kitsune in it?" Kagome smiled. "Tsk, Tsk One question at a time." She teased making the red haired man smile. "But I will answer both question anyway since they intertwine." A few minutes later found her finishing her story in tears.

"After the final battle Sesshomaru my brother left with Kagura and I came back with Shippo and Kirara." She cried the first time she had done so since the battle. Kurama was shocked but quickly recovered enough to pull Kagome into an embrace. Rubbing soothing circles on her back he whispered comforting words in her ears. Mentally Kurama went over the facts that he had just gained. He gulped silently. This meant that if he wanted to court Kagome he would have to ask no only Yusuke but Sesshomaru as well….'Crap!' he thought. Kagome's breath finally evened out and slowed signaling that she had fallen asleep. Smiling Kurama stood up and picked Kagome up bridal style. Walking quietly through Yusuke's apartment he went into her room and set her down on her bed.

Smiling he moved a lock of hair out of her face. Marveling at how smooth and silk like her hair was. Staring at her body he went over her curves and spotless skin. Walking out he closed the door behind him. Leaning against the door on the other side he still, there in front of him stood and every unhappy Yusuke. "Kurama.." Yusuke growled, knowing how the Kitsune demon could get around beautiful females. Kurama sweat dropped. "Yes Yusuke?" Yusuke motioned for the fox to follow him. Sighing Kurama walked into Yusuke's room. The spirit detective didn't say anything for a while simply staring, or glaring at his friend. "Why were you in Kagome's room?" he asked suddenly. Making the older boy jerk. "She fell asleep so I took Kagome to her room." The fox replied, shifting slightly as he leaned against the frame of the door. Green eyes staring into brown eyes. "Fine." Came Yusuke's gruff answer walking out of his room he peaked in on his cousin and her son and pet. Seeing that all was fine he motioned for the eerily silent fox to trail behind him. Walking onto the pouch provided for each apartment Yusuke shut the door behind them and turned a pointed look to Kurama. The spirit detective had gotten wiser over the years even though he still had his gruff attitude and arrogance he was wiser and a little more patient. Nodding to Kurama he spoke again his eyes gaining a gold color of his demon form. "You wanted to ask me something ask" he ordered, sounding like the demon he really was. Kurama sighed and leaned on the railing. "I want permission to court your cousin Kagome" he said his voice calm and apprehensive.

Yusuke's eyes widened visibly before returning to normal. "Hurt one single hair on her head. Betray her in anyway and I will personally drag you back to the other world" Yusuke threatened. Kurama smiled and nodded, though he thought to himself. 'I would never hurt Kagome'. The fox smiled and waved walking off, he let his feet take him where they pleased as he thought over his next move. 'Now I have to confront Lord Sesshomaru…..what have I gotten myself into?"
