Evening Time
Yusuke sighed for the umpteenth time that evening as he watched his mother from across the room.
Atsuko Urameshi was too enthralled with the little creature her son had brought home to notice the looks she was receiving from the other side of the room. Didn't she care that it had seven tails? At least seven, Yusuke reminded himself. The thing didn't like him enough for him to get a decent count. But his mother didn't seem to notice or care that the fox had multiple tails.And not only was she fascinated by the bit of fluff, she had it fascinated as well. With a silver dollar, of all things.
Of course the fox just had to not like him. But did it absolutely have to adore his mother so? Yusuke had watched in annoyance as Kurama had allowed Atsuko to stroke him, feed him tidbits of dinner (the kitsune certainly didn't seem to eat much), and play with him. What Yusuke really didn't get was, just what was so amusing about that silver dollar. Then again, he had been very fond of Keiko swinging her gold bracelet back and forth. Now that he thought about it, hadn't Genkai said that kitsunes liked shiny objects? Damned fox.
"Yusuke, did you hear me?"
Yusuke shook his thoughts off. "Huh? What? Sorry Mom, didn't hear ya."
Atsuko sighed. "I asked you if you wanted him to sleep in your room."
Yusuke grimaced at the thought. The kitsune didn't like him at all, whatever the reason. He'd rather not have to spend the night with the thing.
"No Mom, he can stay in your room tonight. Besides, I think he likes you better anyway."
Was that ever true. Kurama was curled in Atsuko's arms, thrumming happily, half-asleep. He didn't seem inclined to move, either.
"Well, all right then. I'm going to bed now, good night."
"G'night Mom."
Yusuke watched his mother walk back the hall, fox still in her arms. Might as well let her enjoy the situation while she could. He didn't intend to keep Kurama around like this for any longer than necessary.

Methinks Atsuko is waay OOC. Hmm...
Okay, now to respond to my reviews. And I think I'll do both chapters, since I didn't last time.
suriko song: Thankies! I'm glad you think it's cute. I certainly liked the idea.
Evene: Of course Kurama will change back. When I've had my fun with the rest of the gang. Personally, I haven't seen any stories with Kurama in this form, but I must admit I didn't look terribly hard.
Demon of the Black Fire: I don't think anything'll get broken. At least not unless Atsuko leaves. The cute fluffy kitsune doesn't particularly like Yusuke. Wonder why?
dragon-of-the-dungeon: Yusuke doesn't have to do anything with the fox yet. His mom's doin' it for him. But he will have to take him to Kuwabara's later, so we shall see what happens then. ; )
kristanite: (gasp) An alternate dimension! For me? Thankies very much
