A screeching sound caught his attention, causing him to look up. /Hello to you too, Kuronue./

The bat looked at him from his perch on one of the awnings. /How did you know it was me/

Kurama gave a mental smirk. /Your scent./

The bat took off and landed on Kurama's head. /Always the fox./

/And you are always stating the obvious./ Kurama smirked again. /We should assume our human forms so we do not draw suspicion./

/Of course./ The bat took off and transformed into a raven-haired man with dark, tattered clothes and bat wings, while the fox transformed into a redheaded teenage boy in the traditional high school uniform. Kuronue smiled. "That really does not suit you, Kurama."

'That is because you are used to seeing Yoko Kurama and not Shuichi."

"True. However, I know Yoko is in there." Kuronue tapped his index finger against Kurama's forehead. Kurama smiled at his old partner's words.

"Yes. Yoko is here and actually he wants to talk to you." Kurama closed his eyes and his hair turned silver and grew to his waist. A silver tail grew at the base of his spine. His clothes were replaced with a white tunic and matching leggings, both of which seemed to glow in the light of the full moon. When the youkai opened his eyes, their golden color complimented his hair. "Kuronue." His fox ears twitched.

"Yoko. It has been awhile, my old partner."

"Not really. However, I will not be put much because Shuichi has school projects to do."

"You are going soft, Yoko. Actually caring about the ningen's schooling and such."

"It is necessary. If there is such a time I need something or there is something he cannot do, Shuichi will let me handle it." Yoko Kurama's fox ears twitched. "I will speak with you later, Kuronue. Shiori is coming."

Kuronue nodded and dashed behind a tee while Yoko Kurama turned back into Shuichi. The redhead started walking to his front door, which Shiori had just opened. "Shuichi? You're back."

"Hello, Mother." Kurama hugged her when he got inside.

"I saw the most amazing thing today, Shuichi. It was a silver fox lying on your bed and the most peculiar thing about it was that the fox had four tails. It might still be there."

"Let us go see."

Shiori nodded and led her son up the stairs toward his room. They peered inside.

"There, Shuichi," she whispered.

Kurama gasped inaudibly. 'Oh no! What is Sakura doing here?'

"Wait. That's not the same one. This one's smaller."

"Are you sure, Mother? This one is silver and has four tails."

"Yes. The other one took up half of your bed. As you can see, this one only takes up a third."

"Wow. Two silver foxes with four tails each. What an odd occurrence." Kurama feigned an air of innocent curiosity. He walked into his room and over to his bed. He cautiously reached out and stoked his sister's fur. 'Just as soft as I remember.'

/Yoko Kurama/

/Sakura, what are you doing here/

/I came to see you./

/We will talk later./

"Mom! Is supper done yet?" Shuicchi's voice called from down the stairs.

Shiori smiled. "I should finish preparing supper."

"Go ahead, Mother. I will be down shortly."

"All right, Shuichi, but supper is almost done," Shiori said before she left.

/Kurama/

/Yes. What is it/

/Would you spend tonight with me? Like old times/

/Sure and I know the perfect place. The park where we got re-acquainted./

/Perfect./

/We can go after my human family goes to sleep. Until then just stay with me./ The fox nodded and sat up. "I will be right back, Sakura. I am going to get supper."

The fox nodded again and Kurama left the room. He descended the stairs and entered the kitchen.

"Just in time, Shuichi," Shiori said. "Supper's done."

"Shuichi!" Shuicchi wrapped his arms around his brother.

Kurama chuckled and ruffled his brother's hair. "Hello to you too, Shuicchi."

"Oh, you had a phone call from Kaitou."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but he said he'd just tell you at school tomorrow."

"All right." 'Must be something related to our science project.' Kurama fixed a plate for himself, putting a little more of everything on there (for his sister).

When Kurama got back to his room, he saw his sister in her human form, sitting on his bed waiting for him. He sat down next to her and offered her his plate. Sakura smiled, and the two kitsunes enjoyed their dinner.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Shiori opened Kurama's door. She saw her son sitting on his bed reading a book. "Shuichi, you should be getting ready for bed."

"I will, Mother. I just wanted to finish this chapter."

Shiori kissed the redhead's forehead. "Where did the fox go?"

"It was gone when I returned with dinner."

"Maybe one of them will show up later."

"Perhaps." Kurama smiled. Unbeknownst to his mother, his sister never left. In fact, she was hiding under his bed.
"Don't stay up too late, Shuichi."

"I won't, Mother. Good night."

"Good night." Shiori left her eldest son's bedroom. Kurama went back to reading. Then, something silver caught his eye. It was one of Sakura's tails sticking out from under the bed. Kurama smirked, leaned over, and tugged playfully on the tail. The tail was pulled back under and her nose poked out.

/Is it safe/

/Yes. We are alone./

Sakura crawled out and sat on the bed next to her brother. /C'mon, Kurama. Let's go./

/I need to finish this chapter./

There was no reply. Suddenly, a tail was flipped onto the page he was reading. Kurama brushed the tail off, reading all the while. Then, two tails were flipped onto the page.

/Are you trying to tell me something, Sakura/

/Yes, Onii-san. You can finish reading later./

/That is true, but I am almost done./

/All right./ Sakura curled up beside her older brother, waiting for him to finish.

Not four minutes later, Kurama closed the textbook. /All right, now we can go./ He closed his eyes and transformed into Yoko Kurama. Sakura looked at him expectantly.

/All the way, Kurama./

Yoko Kurama smirked and closed his eyes. He then transformed into his spirit fox form. Sakura yipped (which translated to "finally!") and the two spirit foxes jumped gracefully out the window, not hearing the soft gasp that came from the other side of the door.

Shiori was walking back toward Shuichi's room, intending on asking him if he'd pick up his brother after school. The door was open slightly so she peered in. Shuichi had just finished reading the chapter, judging by the fact that he had just closed his book, but there curled up next to him was the smaller silver fox! 'It must have returned.' Just then, before she could open the door further, Shuichi closed his eyes and his hair turned white. 'No, I'd say more silver,' Shiori thought despite her haze of disbelief. A silvery white fox tail grew at the base of his spine. His human ears disappeared and fox ears appeared on the top of his head. His school uniform was replaced with a white tunic and matching leggings, both of which seemed to glow in the steam of moonlight that came through the window. He opened his eyes and instead of being emerald green, they were a gold color. The fox looked at him expectantly, and the humanoid fox smirked and closed his eyes once more. A white mist surrounded him and once dispersed, revealed the larger fox. The smaller fox gave a little yip and both foxes jumped out the window. Shiori stared at the window in utter shock. A little gasp escaped her lips. 'Shuichi's not human? How can that be and why didn't he tell me? I'm going to have to talk to him about this.'
