Untouched

Present day-

Kurama woke up with the loud sound of that damn alarm clock yelling at him. He would have hit snooze if he wasn't already going to be late. The group was meeting today to talk about Hiei's up and coming matting to the neko he meet five years ago.

Kurama pulled on his black undershirt and a white button up that he left unbuttoned. He picked up his keys and was headed out the door when he saw the shirt. Picking up the silk he buried his nose into the material. Her scent, even after all these years, was still present. The strong aroma of lemons still made him crave her. Her, he never knew her name but his goddess needed no name, her scent was all that was needed.

Not wanting to, but having to, he put the shirt down and headed out the door. Locking the door out of habit but not really caring he left the apartment. The street was busy today. Something that didn't happen but on weekends. He was walking through the crowd when he caught something in the air but believing it was just wishful thinking he headed on to where he was to join his long term friends for the lunch meeting.

Being bored to death listening to all the girls chat and fuss about this and that, Kurama didn't see why they didn't just do it and get it over with. "I have to go. Email me the details later."

Kurama all but ran out of the building and to a local park. Something about the park called to him. Sitting on a swing there was no mothers around to looked at him with heated eyes. He really couldn't handle that now. Slightly swinging he stopped when he heard her voice. Why is everything coming back to her?

Looking up and across the street he saw her. She had her arm linked with a demon who on his shoulder was a young child no more than five years old. With his demonic eyes he could see the bond between her and the demon and her and the child but not the child and the demon. So he was her mate but not the father of the child.

What was left of his heart broke with the sight. He knew the one woman that he would ever love was out of reach.

Laughing the child threw his head back and there were two sliver highlight. His eyes widened. The child was Youko's and she knew it. Why didn't she come and find him. He wouldn't have shunned the child. He wouldn't have let the child want anything. He wouldn't….who was he kidding? She must have thought him human. How was she to talk to a 'human' about having a demon child?

Walking to his apartment Kurama thought about running up to her and shaking her with all this strength. She shouldn't have left. He would have told her the truth then they could raised their child together. 'Man I sound like a girl,' Kurama thought with a groan. Walking up the stairs he pulls out the keys to his apartment.

Unlocking the door he walked in the small place he called home. He pulled off his clothing until he was in his boxers and laid down in bed. The phone rang.

"Hello…yes mother I am eating…no I won't lay around all day and waste away…..yes mother…..not this weekend mother….I love you mother….I have to go" Kurama hated those calls. He hadn't seen his mother in six weeks and he knew she worried but his was not in the right place to see her now.

Her POV

I was walking down the street with my mate and my son. I thought I caught his scent but then again why would he be in a family park?

I left him that night and went home to my small place in the Makai. The next full moon I didn't go under my normal heat like I had done that night and that could only mean one thing. I was carrying the human's child. I curled up in my bed and thought of my options. I could stop this now or I could do what my pride and honor is telling me to do. Raise the brat. I knew at that point my life was about to change.

To this day I never regretted it, he was my son my little redheaded green eyed pride and joy. He was full-blooded kitsune , with two locks of silver hanging in his face. Through out the pregnancy I was never alone… right by my side was a blue eyed, red-haired, one horned, fun loving wind master who I never wanted to get close to but due to his persistence I found myself in his arms. He stayed with me through the birth, and I knew I wanted him with me for the rest of my life. I knew Adlai, my son was not the half-breed I thought he would be I also knew that the 'human' was not what I thought he was. I had been wrong on so many levels. But I wouldn't be able to change the past, and to tell the truth I never wanted to, but it would be best if the father never knew of his son….

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. My mate rolled over on his back and pulled me close.

"You sh'd tell 'em love." He said playing with my long red hair. "He's a goo' man."

I looked up at him, he really amazed me.

"How do you know Jin?"

"If Adlai's dah' s da demon in the park I 've worked with him froom time to time."

"He is …but I'm not sure how I would tell him." My mate chuckled a little at this and kissed my forehead.

"It 'ill come to ya." he smiled as he held me and yawned.

"Get some sleep. It's been along day." I say snuggling to him and drifting to sleep.

Normal POV

Kurama sat at his kitchen table wearing nothing but his boxers and his dark red robe, the coffee was cold but felt relatively good considering he made it yesterday. It did cross his mind once to add a little Irish sprits into it, but he dismissed the idea, he didn't feel like mixing the drink. He stared at the blackness of his coffee as if searching it's darkness. He looked at the clock, sleep still hanging on to his eyes. It was three o'clock…He sat on his sofa ,holding his throbbing head kicking one of many empty bottles at his feet. The phone rang… he cursed answering it.

"You've got ten seconds!" he sharply greeted.

"Kurama your needed here." Came Yuskie's surprised voice.

"5.…4...3...2.…" Kurama counted down.

"Kurama listen." Yuskie tried franticly.

"Times up! Have a nice day Urameshi!" Kurama then hung up…

Yuskie stared at his phone… What the fuck just happened! He turned back to the others. With a nervous laugh he scratched the back of his head, pocketing the phone he turned to the others.

"Uh… he's not coming." He said sitting down.

-O-

He sat on a park bench watching the children run around happily playing tag and ball, racing around taking in the last of the sun's rays. Does his son play like this? What is his favorite game? Was he shy? Was he athletic? When was his birthday? Kurama put his head in his hands as the questions bombarded him, how would he ever know these answers… He took the bourbon bottle out of his jacket, taking a swig he heard footsteps.

"You know I don't remember much about that night… in fact I remember next to nothing but I do remember the smell of bourbon all around you and roses… you smelt so good to me that night." His angel spoke, taking the seat he never offered to her next to him.

"Why didn't you tell me I had a son?" The sadness and anger evident in his cracking voice.

"Before he was born I thought he was going to be a half-breed. By the time I found out myself it was to late I had already chosen Jin Kaze." She answer.

"Still you had no right to keep him from me!" Kurama snapped he could smell Jin all over what Youko thought of as 'his woman.' his blood boiled yes her sent was different and he knew there was no chance in the three worlds the sexual attraction that once was so strong was still there. He should have killed Jin years ago… to bad he wasn't and could not have been the one to fight him at the Dark Tournament. Not only had the wind master defeated him in love he had practically took over his place in his son's life. He felt his heart break watching the boy kick the ball and run after it like and odd game of chase he devised. But still Jin Kaze was his friend. He took a deep breath. If he couldn't be in his son's life, if he couldn't take care of the brat he was happy it was a man like Jin who took over his duty.

"I should have told you the day he was born… But I-I thought it would be best if you never knew." she admitted

"Do you still think so?"

"No… Adlai." She called him over. "I've got someone for you to meet."

"Yes ma'am." the boy said running over.

"Adlai this is your daddy."

-O- Some time later

Neko's POV

I watched the party goers from the punch bowl laughing a little, if my old friend was here we would have spiked it. Botan and Keiko were chatting up a storm about My mating Hiei, Kuwabara the damned fool was hitting on , in a very strange way Yukina, Chuu was nursing something he brought from home and Hiei was on his way to inflict harm upon Kuwabara. Kurama stood in front of some people a little kit on his shoulders. I heard it then.

"Botan meet my son… Adlai…. Adlai this is the grim reaper Botan." He introduced them with a chuckle.

"Wow my dad knows the grim reaper!" the brat yelled out in excitement causing the group to laugh I had know clue where the brat came from but had a good idea. Kurama smiled. It was genuine and more real then any other for the past five years and I was happy for him. She must have really broken his hart that bitch. (Rain: Hey watch it!) But oh well at least he was happy now and for now that's all that really mattered.

"Come love lets go." came the deep voice of my lover.

"We sneaking out?" I asked as he neared.

"Of course." He replied.
