BLACK TAIL

Chapter 4: Shaded Snuggling.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Yusuke sat down on the swing, Kurama leading after him, sitting on the swing next to Yusuke. The both of them were quietly fisting upon a simple made rice ball they had gotten from a food stand. There other choice was of ramen noodles, but it didn't exactly fit there taste.

It was an early Saturday, October morning. 'Saturday being the 'Day of rest'.

"I wonder where Hiei is…..he certainly wasn't in the house today, though it took me two hours to check every 32 rooms." Kurama laughed, gulfing down another bit of his rice ball.

"I can't remember anything really from last night. I guess we just sort of….pondered off after…" Yusuke turned his words to whispers as a woman and her child swung on the swings next to them. "After we transformed back…"

Yusuke finished his rice ball, only after wishing he had a drink. "Kurama…..how are you…you are so used to it already? I mean it just happened last night…and you aren't flipping out or so. What's up?" Yusuke said, pushing his feet on the ground, making the movement higher on his swing.

Kurama finished the last of his rice back, also swinging up with Yusuke.

"Yusuke…well since it wouldn't hurt now to tell you….." Kurama blinked, his hair flying all around his face from the wind of his fast swinging.

"Yeah?" Yusuke asked, him swinging past Kurama. Back and forth they went.

"Before I was born….I was a spirit fox; Yoko. Long after that I was shot by a bounty hunter. I needed my life power back so I had to become in human form. So I transferred my self to my mothers body….and after that I was born as Suichii, which would be identified as my true name. Everyone… as of you, know me by Kurama. Yoko Kurama now… again."

"DAMN IT!" Yusuke whined, rubbing his head from his sudden faint off the swing.

Kurama slowed his swing down, and then he jumped the rest of the way, landing and rolling in the grass.

"I knew your fat ass for 12 years and you NEVER told me you were a fox? OR your REAL name?" Yusuke shouted, trying his best for at least the whole world to here him.

No….not the whole world heard him. He just got a few stares.

"Sorry, I guess it just didn't occur to me to tell you guys." Kurama said, then turning to face the sun set high above them. "Though….I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid this time….."

Silence.

"Afraid of what?" Yusuke asked, slowly picking grass from the ground; flinging it into the air like a little kid.

Kurama smiled, his luscious green eyes bright. "Nothing….lets head home. Maybe we'll find Hiei."

Yusuke scratched his head a bit confused, but obeyed his 'orders' and followed Kurama to the way there rather large home was.

They took a shortcut through the Hamorta woods. The woods that Kurama, Hiei and him owned at night.

-X-

Yusuke hands stuffed in his pants pocket, Kurama's hands stuffed in his pants pockets and both of their heads were faced directly forward. They to be occasionally to look from side to side for Hiei.

thump

"Ow! Who the hell hit me?" Yusuke whined, laying on the ground, slightly rubbing his head. In his other hand he held a stick that had been thrown at his head.

Hiei sat on a branch of a high tree, laughing frantically at Yusuke.

"There he is! See Kurama? He is so short its hard to find him! Ha-ha!" Yusuke laughed, Kurama helping him up.

Hiei jumped down from the tree, landing with nothing of a thud.

-X-

The three of them entered their house, Kuwabara's cat, Eikachi greeting them.

There was a note tacked to the wall near the door. Noticing it was Kuwabara's signature, Yusuke intended to read it.

Dear you Damn disappearing People.

I went to my mom's house, so I'll be back in a few days. I'll see you all later.

……

P.S: STOP DISAPPEARING!

"….." Yusuke stood there puzzled.

Hiei headed his way upstairs into his 'off limits' room. Kurama headed outside again to his gardening garden place that smells and looks and flies like a puppet garden.

Yusuke made his way into the living room where his dark green couch sat there…..waiting for him.

It was only 1 in the afternoon so he decided to sleep.

-X-

Yusuke pounced around Hiei and Kurama, wagging his tail.

"Why are you so hyper?" Kurama asked, cleaning his paws with his tongue.

"I don't know….but I promise I did not drink!" Yusuke finished, finally plopping down between the two. It was now a line of beautiful animals.

"Hiei…"

Hiei was trying his best to ignore Yusuke, by taking in Kurama's cleaning advice.

He started to lick his midnight black fur.

Yusuke smiled and passionately snuggled his head to Hiei's.

Hiei stopped. Kurama stared.

Yusuke continued snuggling. "You're so soft!"
