Ok now onto the chapter!

Chapter 5 Confrontation

(If people have questions about why i made the title of this chapter what i did just review me the question and i'll answer it when i update next.)

Kurama had his hand on the doorknob looking down and thinking of what could happen. His mother could accept him for what he was and maybe even be able to provide him with some advice with the situation.

He knew Hiei would have him tell her of that also so she wouldn't find out the hard way. (Like if she saw the scar on him or something.)

Then again she could reject him completely and not consider him her son anymore. Kurama didn't want that, his mother had really been the only person to change his ways and show him how to love.

Her rejection would only complicate things further.

"Kurama." His head came up and looked at Hiei who waited and looked a bit concerned, like he was wondering what the kitsune was thinking.

He didn't say anything just opened the door and went inside closing it after Hiei came in. "Suiichi is that you?" (I don't know if I said this already or not but sorry if I spelled his name wrong!)

"Yes mother I'm home." Kurama called back as Kurama led the way towards her voice. He wasn't surprised to find her in the kitchen.

"Oh who is this?" She dried her wet hands and walked over. Hiei had done well over the years to hide his presence from this ningen as much as he possibly could.

"This is my friend Hiei." Hiei rolled his eyes and connected a link between them. 'Just tell hr and get it over with.'

Kurama sighed low enough that Hiei could barely hear it clearly this was more painful then he had thought it would be; but it needed to be done.

"Mother there is something I need to tell you." Kurama led her over to the table and now her face held confusion and wonder.

"Suiichi are you alright what's wrong?" She was clearly already worried.

'How do I tell her Hiei?' Kurama asked desperately as they sat down across from her.

'Any way you can.'

"Mother I'm… I'm not really your son." Hiei had to bite his lip to keep from slapping himself… or the fox. Of all ways that had to be the weakest way to tell her possible.

"What are you talking about you are my son Suiichi Minamono." (I know I spelled that wrong I was just sounding it out from the way I heard it being said.)

"No I'm not… I'm a demon or a fox demon to be more correct named Yoko Kurama." (I can't keep his different names and things straight so I'm just saying that!)

She sat there in awe not being able to find words. She looked over at Hiei.

Shiori's P.O.V

This couldn't be there was no proof. I had given birth to him, how could he be a demon? It simply didn't make sense.

I looked over at his friend Hiei wondering if he knew. He stared away unaffected by anything Suiichi had said.

Normal P.O.V

"Hiei is also a demon; A fire demon." Hiei glared at the fox as if saying 'How dare you say that! I will set you ablaze now!'

"How can this be how could I not know?"

"Because I escaped from the Makai and took refuge with you." She closed her eyes it was obvious her heart had been broken and a spot had been opened where her son had once been. Now it was gone and nothing would ever take its place.

"I am so sorry I had to tell you this, I tried not to but some things came up and I was forced to."

Hiei looked over at Kurama seeing the pain in his eyes as he said it. How could he force Kurama to do this? Especially when it wouldn't resolve the issue at hand.

"What kind of things." Shiori asked. Kurama sighed and looked at Hiei who met his eyes for only a moment before looking away but turning more towards him.

Kurama sighed and lifted his sleeve enough to reveal the scar. "Suiichi what did you do? Did you do this to yourself?"

"Yes I did."

"Why!" Shiori asked gently touching the mark that still caused him a bit of pain.

"I couldn't take the screams I'm sorry." His eyes widened with what he had just said and being him anticipated what his 'mother' would ask next.

"What screams?"

"It was something from my past; in the Makai."

"What happened?"

"I don't want to tell you. I don't want you to know of what I once was." Kurama said closing his eyes.

"Apparently you are still that." Hiei said speaking for the first time. Kurama's eyes opened and he had to slap himself to keep from slapping the little fire demon that he loved. (You don't understand how hard it was to write that!)

"We have to go mother." Kurama smiled reassuringly, stood, and started down the hall Hiei right behind him.

"Hiei." Shiori called stopping the fire demon as Kurama continued down the hall.

He looked back but didn't dare say anything.

"Take care of Suiichi please." His eyes widened completely knowing what she meant. "How did you-."

"Call it a mothers instinct. He likes you I know it and by the way you act I can tell you do to." She explained standing and walking over to him.

Hiei nodded, "I will." It was all he could say to her; and it was a lie. He wouldn't have a chance with the beautiful fox, he was forbidden and for that he wasn't allowed to love.

He took his leave walking down the hall.

A/N: Well that was long I suppose and didn't turn out exactly as I wanted it. Hey see if I care I got my point across. Or at least I think I did. Whatever I'll try and update ASAP!
