I don't own YYH or any of it's characters. I only own Mikai, Shinka and Yuzu okay?

Chapter 6…finally. Okay please read and enjoy. Watch out for spoilers and such. Now there is a bit of sex mentioned at the end of this, and I'm not going to write a lemon because I'm all paranoid about losing my account which has happened to me before. If I do write one I'll post it on and link it all. So if that was on your mind sorry.

Kurama was now back in the Ningenkai. He was acting like everything was normal when he knew that all of his worlds were falling apart. He was sitting there in school, wondering how he was putting up with it like he was. Still somehow, he managed to get the top score even though he knew that he had messed up on so many answers.

"So Shuuichi, top score again?" Kaitou asked as he walked over to the red head's desk.

"Oh what?" Kurama asked as he looked back up at his peer.

"What's wrong with you Shuuichi? Are you guys trying to save the world once more?" Kaitou asked.

"All three," Kurama mumbled.

"I'd be willing to help if you need me," Kaitou offered as he looked Kurama.

"Thank you," Kurama said as he managed to smile. "It means a lot to me right now."

"Sir?" Shachi said as he walked over to Yomi who was looking outside of tall window down onto the city.

"Yes?" Yomi asked.

"Do you really think that Kurama will come back?" Shachi asked, hoping Yomi would side with him. "I mean he did betray you once before."

"Yes." Yomi smiled. "I've got something over him this time."

Yomi's head titled down to Mikai who was outside training right underneath the window. She was moving about quickly, dodging an attack of another demon that Yomi had hired as her trainer for a while.

"Once Kurama returns, everything will fall into place," Yomi said. "For now go and watch Mukuro's army on the western front."

"Yes sir." Shachi walked away damming Kurama in his own mind. He dare not say anything, or even mumble anything because Yomi would hear it due to his excellent hearing.

Kurama walked down his streets almost ready to go back to the Makai. His brother had already been threatened, and now he was on his way back to that evil demon world. As he walked, he saw a young woman standing at the end of the street.

She had short burgundy hair, which lightly touched her shoulders. Her light green eyes landed on Kurama gently as he walked over to her. She was wearing a gray sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans.

"Excuse me?" she asked as she ran over to Kurama. "Are you Shuuichi Minamino?"

"Yes," Kurama answered. "Why?"

"I'm Yuzu, Mikai's best friend," she said gently. "Please Shuuichi, I know everything about Mikai! I know her past, Senkai, and how see feels about you! Please tell me where she is!"

"Yuzu, " Kurama said trying to remember that name. He remembered Mikai mentioning the name once, saying that she was her best friend and all. "How much of demons do you know of?"

"I know about the Makai, the kings, Spirit World, you name it why?" Yuzu asked hurriedly. "Where is she? She's not still in the Makai is she?"

"Still?" Kurama asked.

"Yeah. Before she came to Japan, she went to the Makai to look for something. She called me when she got into Japan and said that she had met a friend, I think his name was Suke or something."

"Yusuke?"

"Yeah that's it!"

Kurama sighed, the burden on him right now was so hard and he hated it, but Yuzu deserved to know about it.

"Yuzu, Mikai is in the Makai," Kurama answered. "I'm going back to get her."

"Mikai." Yuzu sniffled as she threw her hands to her face. "Dammit Mikai! I-I told you not to go back!" Yuzu began to cry into her hands. "S-She's not coming b-back."

"I'll bring her back," Kurama promised. "I have to."

"What?" Yuzu looked up at the red head with tears in her eyes.

"I have to bring her back. If not for you, then for me." Kurama smiled. " I promise that in one year, I will return with Mikai."

"Really?" Yuzu said happily as some of her tears faded.

"Yes," Kurama said gently.

"Good." She sniffled a bit. "Please be careful in the Makai Shuuichi." Yuzu bowed to him, turned around, and ran away.

It all hit him. Mikai was a living person. Not that Kurama looked over this before, but now he realized that Mikai had a family and people who cared about her. He had to fight in order to bring her back so that nothing would be damaged. Seeing the way that Yuzu cared for Mikai put feelings into Kurama that motivated him more to go and fight. He had to do this, for everyone, and for his own future.

Back in the Makai, Yomi had accepted Kurama's generals: Chuu, Jin, Rinku, Touya, Suzuki and Shishiwakamaru, and Shachi had been relieved of his duties. In his anger, Shachi had tried to kill Kurama but failed, having to meet Kurama's rose whip face to face. But right before he died, Shachi did get a glance at Youko Kurama.

"So what are we supposed to do now?" Jin asked as he scratched his finger under his nose.

"I don't know all I want to do is take a shower," Suzuki said with a sigh.

"Do as you like," Kurama said. "But when the time comes you will be needed to train no matter what."

"Yes sir." They all sighed.

"How have things been going?" Kurama asked Yomi once they were both alone in Yomi's chambers.

"Fine." Yomi sighed. "I have been, though, searching for a trainer for Mikai."

Kurama became confused. "I thought I was going to train her."

"No," Yomi said as he turned back around to face the red head. "An idea just hit me. I know who will train Mikai. Shinka!" Yomi yelled.

"Yes sir?" a man asked who walked into the room behind Kurama. He looked remarkably human. Having short black hair, with a piece or too in front of his gray eyes, and wearing what almost everyone else was, a red drape with a black outfit behind it. His outfit, though, did look a bit more lose, as if he needed the extra room.

"I want you to train Mikai for war."

"Yes sir." Shinka bowed and walked off down the halls.

"Why don't you want me to train Mikai?" Kurama asked as he looked at the blind demon.

"No reason. I just thought that you might be too busy training the others to train someone as important as Mikai. Next to you and I, Kurama, Mikai could be the third most power fullest one. For one more year that is."

"Then what?"

"I don't know," Yomi said as he turned his head and smiled at Kurama. "Who knows what the future may hold Kurama. Maybe we'll all be dead by then but I doubt it."

Kurama turned around for a minute only to hear Yomi speak to him once more, but now in a more serious tone.

"What does Mikai mean to you?"

"Why?" Kurama asked as he turned back around.

"Whenever you're near her, or talk about her, your heart picks up it's pace a bit. Usually humans do that when they're around someone they love, or fear, and I sincerely doubt that you fear her."

"If you truly have been looking into my past then you should know what Mikai means to me."

"Action is one thing, matters of the heart are another," Yomi said as he turned back around.

"Mikai is special to me. On what level that is I don't feel as if it has any true meaning to you so I'm taking my leave now." Kurama began to walk out hoping that he had said the right words so as not to lead Yomi on and to deceive him a bit.

As Kurama walked on, he stopped at a window seeing Mikai down below him, training. He didn't smile, but instead kept it hidden. I know it's not fair Mikai, but for now I'm going to have to put my feelings on hold. It would be far too risky for the both of us to get into a relationship right now. I'm sorry.

It had been six months since everyone had been in the Makai. Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke hadn't seen each other for six months, and in away, they all did mess each other, and didn't look forward to the fact that they may end up fighting each other soon.

"Sir!" Shinka yelled as he ran over to Yomi, who was sitting at a large blue table with Kurama by his side. "Sir!"

"Yes?" Yomi asked somewhat annoyed already.

"I can't seem to find Mikai! It seems that she's just disappeared!" Shinka said as he slammed his hands down on the table before him.

"Really?" Yomi rose an eyebrow.

"I think he knows where she went!" Shinka accused as he looked at the red head.

"Now Shinka, you're not saying that Kurama let her leave without telling anyone. Especially on the day when she was going to be trained against weapons today right?"

"B-But," Shinka began.

"You wouldn't do that would you Kurama?" Yomi asked as he moved his face to him.

"Not today." Kurama smiled, though inside he was a bit worried.

"There. Now please go and help Kameda with some work. I'll grant you a bit of a free day today." Yomi smiled.

"Yes sir," Shinka said as he walked out of the room, but not before he shot Kurama a glare.

"Tsk, tsk." Yomi shook his head. "Another enemy Kurama? Don't tell me he's going to end up like Shachi."

"Tell me Yomi," Kurama asked. "How did you know that I didn't know where Mikai went?"

"Your heart beat picked up a bit when he mentioned that she was gone. Your mind became worried for a minute. Now you wouldn't have been worried if you knew where she was," Yomi explained with a smile on his face.

"Observant." Kurama smiled.

"But on the subject, when was the last time that you talked to her?"

"About a month ago." Kurama thought. Has it really been that long since I last talked to Mikai?

"Oh." Yomi sighed, but smiled inside.

Yusuke was training when he heard someone call his name from behind.

"Yusuke!"

Yusuke turned around to see Mikai standing there with a bag over her shoulder, and on top of her head, stood two up right fox ears. "Hey!" She smiled.

"Mikai?" Yusuke asked as he stepped near her. "Mikai!" He ran over to Mikai, and jumped on her, tackling her to the ground. "Mikai you're okay!"

"Yusuke!" Mikai laughed happily. "I'm fine! Jeez you act like you haven't seen me in years."

"It feels like it!" Yusuke said as he stood up and held Mikai up too. "So you came all this way just to see me?"

"No…" Mikai scratched the back of head. "Not really."

"What?" Yusuke asked, not expecting Mikai to be so blunt about it.

"I came here to see him." Mikai turned around and looked up at Raizen's tower.

"The first time I see an old face and they're here to see him," Yusuke said with a slight laugh.

"Sorry." Mikai laughed a bit.

"Mikai," Hokushin said as he stepped up between the two. "Raizen-sama is ready to see you now."

"Okay." Mikai sighed. "Yusuke, I'll come back down here to talk to you after my little talk with your dad."

"He's not my dad," Yusuke said as he watched his friend walk off.

"Whatever Urameshi!" Mikai yelled.

It had been about an hour or two later, Yusuke heard Raizen's stomach growl, and Mikai still hadn't come back down. He had stopped training with Hokushin in fear of having to run up into Raizen's tower to save Mikai from getting eaten.

Come on Mikai. Yusuke thought.

"Hey Yusuke," Mikai said with a sigh as she popped up next to the black haired boy.

"Shit!" Yusuke jumped back. "When did you get there?"

"Few minutes ago."

"How'd it all go?" Yusuke asked as he sat down.

"Fine." Mikai sat down next to Yusuke. "I hate doing all of this training though."

"I know." Yusuke laughed.

"Yusuke…," Mikai said quietly. "Promise me that if we fight, in this war...that you'll make it a good fight."

"Yeah sure." Yusuke blinked. "But anyways...how's Kurama? And what's up with the fox ears?"

"I don't know," Mikai said as she fell back onto her hands, putting all of her weight onto them. "I haven't been talking to him. But about the ears, did you really think I was gonna go see Raizen the human eater as my normal self? That's crazy."

"Is it all of your training that's keeping you from Kurama?" Yusuke asked, going back to the subject of the red head.

"Yeah." Mikai sighed. "I sunk away today but I know I'm in for an ear full when I get back."

The two were quiet for a while. Both were just lying there, looking up at the purple sky when the both of them knew that they should have been training.

"Hey. What did you tell Keiko before you left?" Mikai asked.

"That, she shouldn't wait for me to get back. I told her how I felt, that I didn't really think that I was in love with her the way she thought I was. I told her to go on with her life and not let a punk like me make her wait." Yusuke sighed.

"I've got someone for you," Mikai said as she sat back up and smiled. "Her name's Yuzu, she's my best friend back in America. You would really like her."

"Really?" Yusuke laughed. "We'll see about that."

"When we get back to the Ningenkai, you'll met her and you'll see." Mikai laughed a bit. "But Yusuke? Can I talk to you…about something serious?"

"Yeah," Yusuke said as he looked at her.

"Yusuke," Mikai said as she looked back up at the purple sky. "This is hard to say, but I need to talk to you about what I wanna do after the war."

The two sat there for hours talking about what they were going to do. Mikai told Yusuke everything that she wanted to do after the war, or maybe even during it. Yusuke didn't agree with Mikai's plans, but he knew that was what was best for her, and her future. There was no other choice but to do what Mikai wanted to. The two agreed that Mikai's plan was the best, and planned to work on it.

Two days later, Mikai returned to Gandara during a heavy storm. She slipped by all of Yomi's security guards, and made it back up into her room. She opened the door, and slipped in. She sighed as she became coated in the darkness of her room.

"So where have you been?" a deep voice said from the darkness. Mikai recognized it and stepped forward a bit.

"Youko?" she asked. She then felt two arms wrap around her small frame and felt his head rest on her shoulder.

"Do me one thing," he whispered with his deep voice. "Change into Senkai."

Mikai thought it over a bit. She was in debt to him, after all he did change to Youko when she needed him too. It was only right if she did the same for him.

"Okay," Mikai said gently as she pulled away. She walked a bit forward, and in the cover of the dark, changed back into her kitsune form. Youko Kurama could feel the change in ki, and her presents once more come back.

"Senkai," Youko said gently.

"Youko," Senkai answered as he felt her body embrace his. This was it. Everything that he had wanted for the past years, just to feel her body next to his once more. Nothing could ruin this moment for him. Nothing in the world, Ningenkai or Makai.

"My Senkai," Youko whispered as he kissed her gently on her forehead.

"Youko," Senkai whispered back as she wrapped her arms around the bigger kitsune, digging her fingers into his white shirt in the back. "I missed you."

"I thought I would never find you again," Youko said as he placed his hands on the side of Senkai's face and made her look up at him. Youko smiled to see Senkai blush a bit as her blue eyes looked away.

"I want to prove something to you," she said gently as her right arm reached up and grabbed his hand off of her face. "Something I should have years ago." Senkai laced her fingers with his gently.

Senkai reached up and gently kissed Youko, as he wrapped his left arm around the smaller kitsune. As the two kissed, they both moved to the bed, where Senkai fell down, Youko on top of her not breaking the kiss at all.

Senkai pulled away for a minute. "What if Yomi hears?"

"Don't worry," Youko answered with confidence as he nudged his face next to her neck—an old kitsune mating habit of his. "I put up a plant that absorbs sounds. No sound shall leave this room."

"I'm sorry," Senkai said as she felt Youko slip out of his shirt.

"For what?" he asked gently.

"Not telling you sooner, and letting you suffer for all these years." Senkai blushed as Youko fell on top of her, his face next to hers.

"It's in the past," Youko whispered. "All that matters is now."

The two kissed once more, as Youko moved their laced fingers upward, above both of their heads. It was that night that the two fulfilled all of their desires. Youko and Senkai became one for the first time in their lives, now belonging to one another, in a promise that would once more echo through time. They both wouldn't forget what they had done, and didn't want to. It was now out to each other, how they felt, how they wanted to be, and how it was going to be, until time ended for the both of them.

R&R please!
