I'd like to apologize if Kagome is a bit out of character with her swearing, but I wanted her to act normal and even normal people swear once in awhile. Besides I don't make her swear too much, just at certain times when she is yelling. Anywya I hope you liked the last chapter even though she technically didn't meet them yet. But don't worry, there is lots of Yoko/Kurama/Kagome action in this chapter. And there are some fluffy moments as well, be sure not to miss those because they are sooooo cute. Anyway if you didn't already know, yes the pairings are Kurama/Kagome/Yoko. That isn't going to change and no Kurama and Yoko aren't going to be put back together. Mind you I still don't know what to write for what seperated them in the first place, but rest assured Yoko is alive. Anyway hope you like this chapter. I wrote it last night and it actually was pretty easy to keep writing.
Kitsunes Anonymous
Chapter 3
"What the fuck is going on here!" Kagome shrieked bursting into the room she previously forgot housed two completely unknown demons. Kagome froze as did the other occupants, mouth agape as she tried to get her body to move. The red haired kitsune standing to the far left of the room was blushing bright red as he tried to turn his attention off the tempting, pissed off woman currently panting in the doorway. Shuichi had covered up his face with one of his hands, using the left hand free to hold up the blanket falling of his naked hips, alternating between staring at his previous counterpart and the woman frozen in the doorway.
To the far right of the room a certain silver kitsune couldn't help but let his eyes wander the panting, blushing female, smirking when he realized what she was wearing. He glanced at Shuichi and rolled his eyes. It seems even as a kitsune Shuichi still kept his modesty, as he was blushing just as much as the woman.
"Er," Kagome opened and closed her mouth a few times and tried to speak but unfortunately nothing was coming to her at the moment. Suddenly the sounds of laughter filled the room as all three occupants turned to see another red headed kitsune laughing his head off.
"Ah ha haha, mother," he laughed, rolling on the floor like a bloody child. "That's the funniest thing you've done lately but perhaps you should get some better clothes on...unless you plan to stand like that the whole night." Shippo laughed some more completely disregarding the growling noises his mother was currently making. Sota stepped out into the hallway to see what was going on. He immediately caught the warning signs and darted back into his room. He had no desire to die.
"Shippo!" Kagome screamed and Shippo jumped to his feet, his laughter halting immediately, though the amusement was clearly under the surface.
"Sota let me in!" He yelled, jiggling Sota's doorknob. "Mother's going to kill me!"
Yoko could hear the other boy laughing as he opened the door and stuck his tongue out at the kitsune. "No way you brought this on yourself," he shut the door rudely in Shippo's face.
"Aaahhhhhh!" Shippo screamed, darting off just as Kagome went shooting out of the room streaking after her still laughing son.
Down the hall Yoko and Shuichi could hear the death threats and screaming going on between the two and Yoko's eyes nearly bugged out of his head when he saw the woman storm by dragging her son by his feet with vines. Shippo was screaming and clawing at the floor, while she continued reprimanding him the entire way. She paused at the doorway and turned to view her...visitors. She managed a grin which didn't do much for the situation except to make her look scarier.
"Ano...excuse me. Please stay there. I'll be back in a few minutes after I hang my son."
Shippo turned his head and met Yoko's eyes. "Ya' gotta help me!" He tried as a last resort. "From one kitsune to another...don't let her get me!"
Shuichi went to the door and looked out at the fallen kitsune and glanced at his mother. She glared at him and he instantly backed away into Yoko who had come up behind him. Both demons flinched when the door slammed shut and instantly Shippo's screams were cut off with a bang, Everything was silent before...
"Scary," Shuichi sighed with relief and whispered to Yoko. "I had no idea a woman could look that frightening."
Beside him Yoko almost burst into laughter at the look on Shuichi's face. Instead he controlled it and patted the poor boy on his back. "Apparently I haven't taught you quite as well as I thought I did," he murmured.
Suddenly Shuichi froze and he snapped his gaze to the silver kitsune who had previously inhabited his body. "What did you do!" He burst out. Then he looked at his side where Yoko's sharp nails had pinched him earlier. "And did you really have to pinch me? You could have just woken me up. Seriously, that hurt."
Yoko growled loudly. "Oh, stuff it. Are you suggesting this was my fault, red?" he demanded. "I assure you if I'd wanted to leave our body earlier I would have...without your consent. And if it had been my way...you wouldn't even be here. And as for waking you up...I did try."
"I knew that was you poking me," Shuichi frowned.
Yoko smirked and shrugged. "Who else?"
"Well now what do we do?" Shuichi finally asked. "Should we report to Koenma?"
Yoko made a face of disgust. "No way, Red. If you want to meet up with that tiny tot toddler, than be my guest, but if you think I'm reporting to that ass wipe you're surely mistaken. He'd probably try and fit us back together...if that's even possible now...seeing as how this is my real body."
"Are you sure?" Shuichi raised an eyebrow.
"Do I look like a ghost to you?"
Shuichi reached over and poked him. Yoko growled and backed up. "What was that for?"
Shuichi smirked. "Just returning the favor."
"Nice red, very nice. It seems your kitsune blood is kicking in."
Shuichi froze for what seemed like the millionth time that night. "K-Kitsune blood?" He stammered nervously. The smirk that suddenly seemed to glide maliciously over the silver kitsune's face was enough to send Shuichi into a panic. Still...ever so slowly Shuichi brought his hands up to his face, closing his eyes and gulping as he reached back to the place where his ears used to be. Nothing. His ears weren't there! Shuichi groaned and didn't even bother raising his arms even more. Why bother when the dread was already beginning to set in? "Don't tell me."
"Congratulations, lad, you've just become another member of Kitsunes Anonymous."
Shuichi's jaw dropped and he probably would have screamed again...had he been able to get anything out. It really wasn't that bad, he had to reason. He'd already been part kitsune to begin with. Everything was okay. He could and would get through this.
"Are you okay?" a soft female voice broke into his thoughts. He turned to see the woman from before only now she looked a lot more approachable than earlier. He wasn't sure much had changed about her dress, except for the short shorts he caught peaking out from under the long shirt. She crossed over to him and caught him as he swayed on his feet. "Here, sit down, you look like you're about to pass out." She set him down gently on his bed. "And what the hell are you doing out of bed anyway, your injuries haven't completely healed yet so you need to be careful you don't hurt yourself more than you already are."
"Uh," was all he managed as Yoko laughed at him over the woman's shoulder. "Aw, did Shuichi-wichi get a boo boo?"
The woman growled and turned to glare at Yoko. "Hey, you! Why don't you shut it and go lie down somewhere! You have injuries too or didn't you notice?" Kagome got up off the bed and began pushing Yoko towards the other bed.
"Oi!" Yoko protested halting in his tracks when she placed her hand son his chest and tried to move him. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
"Obviously the woman who saved both your asses from causing a lot of upheaval had anyone seen what I did."
"Just out of curiosity," Shuichi interrupted for once coming to Yoko's aid. "But what exactly did you see? Who are you? And where are we?"
Kagome turned back to Shuichi and lost her frustration. "I'm sorry, how rude of me. I'm Kagome and this is my shrine. As to what I saw...well it was very weird, especially when I saw one previous man split into to." She eyed the demons curiously. "Just out of curiosity, how did that happen? I've seen a lot of weird things in my life but never have I seen one man become two."
"Good question," Yoko muttered rubbing a hand through his hair. He looked tired and Kagome forced back her earlier anger even more. "I'm sorry. It must have been a long day for you two." She yawned cutely and stood up. "Why don't you get some rest? Its safe here so you should be fine. We can talk more in the morning."
"That is very kind of you," Shuichi smiled at her. "By the way, my name is Shuichi Minamino. And his name is Yoko Kurama."
"Shuichi?" Kagome's head tilted to the side. "Where have I heard that name before?"
"Probably from his fan club," Yoko said laughingly and sure enough Kagome's face lit up.
"Hey, that's right!" She turned to Shuichi and tried to look sympathetic as Shuichi blushed. "Did you know that two thirds of my school's population of girls went ga ga over you for four years straight? At the time I had no idea what the hell they were even talking about as I tried not to pay attention to such foolish nonsense. Honestly some people. I'm very sorry you had to go through that...unless of course you liked the attention, but even then I'd still feel sorry for you. Those females were ruthless. How did you ever survive?"
Shuichi had to laugh. "Running, mostly, and hiding."
"Well that sucks!" Kagome burst out. "I would have told them to get a fucking clue, not to mention a life! Why didn't you just kill them all? You're certainly strong enough to do so."
"That's what I wanted to do," Yoko whined. "But he wouldn't let me. He kept saying that it wasn't nice and that they would eventually go away if we ignored them enough."
Kagome shuddered as mental pictures of rallying girls flashed by in her mind. "You should have listened to him, Shuichi," she teased gently. "You might have had some peace once in awhile."
"Not with him in my mind," Shuichi grimaced and Yoko growled as Kagome looked confused. He decided to explain. He didn't know what it was, but he liked listening to Kagome talk. Yoko and Shuichi took turns explaining about their life as two conscious minds in one body. By the time they were coming to the end of their story Kagome had yawned so many times that it was a wonder her jaw hadn't popped off. She, Yoko, and Shuichi sat side by side on Shuichi's bed, backs against the wall, with her in the middle.
Kagome found herself enjoying listening to both kitsune's speak. She found it quite fascinating over how much the two had been through together before and after Yoko's death. She had never heard of dying and coming back in such away though after they explained it, it didn't sound so weird.
It was now 3 in the morning and Kagome was very tired. Her head kept drooping and falling onto Yoko's chest. Of course Yoko didn't mind and simply placed his arm around her shoulders, keeping her from falling all the way down. Kagome tensed at first half expecting him to say or do something perverted and was pleased when he simply lay down on the bed and brought her with him, keeping her close to his body. Kagome enjoyed the gentle touches as Yoko's fingers came up to run through her inky black hair. She had yet to show them her kitsune form, but was too tired to change into it. Instead she curled up even more in Yoko's embrace as he turned slightly to hold her against his chest.
Yoko was enjoying the feel of the warm vixen pressed so firmly against his body. It had been a very long time since he'd been able to curl up with a female and enjoy her presence so much. And this particular one was turning out to be very unique. He didn't much care that Shuichi didn't seem to be moving. He honestly loved Shuichi like a brother which made his thoughts darken for a few moments as he remembered the last person he thought of as a brother. He gave a low whimper picturing his old partner's face and was surprised when Kagome let out her own whine and nudged her face into his neck, burrowing closer as if she could feel him hurting.
"S'ok," she murmured sleepily in his ear. Yoko let out a low purr and relaxed completely as he let sleep invade his senses.
Shuichi was at first a bit nervous about sharing a bed with the woman and Yoko, especially knowing first hand how Yoko tended to be. He tried to move to give them some space when Kagome reached a hand back and tugged on his arm, forcing him to lean over and wrap his arm around her waist. "Stay," she muttered, pulling him even closer.
Shuichi sighed and looked to see Yoko staring at him from behind half closed eyes. Yoko let out a yawn and addressed his once counterpart. "Just stay, Shuichi," he murmured thickly, eyes falling closed again. "For once in your life, let down your modesty code a little bit. You're a kitsune now so act like one."
Shuichi looked at the two cuddling demons in amazement before his eyes drooped in tiredness and Kagome pulled him closer. "All right," he whispered, situating himself behind the vixen and letting his arm tighten around her waist.
Kagome purred happily in her sleep, glad that for once she could sleep without waking up alone, something that she very much hated. "Thank you," she whispered to him before all three kitsunes fell asleep, feeling more content than they had in a very long time.
So, how was it? Was it a good introduction or not? I couldn't help putting in a fluffy moment at the end simply because I figured they are kitsunes and like to cuddle. Yoko didn't do anything perverted and seriously I'm not going to make him as over the top as other fics are. I seriously don't think anyone has ever come close to getting his true personality down, except for maybe Ryukotsusei, you're the best woman! Anyway I'm not going to make him try to get in her pants 24 seven, but he will make suggestive comments every now and again, since he is a kitsune. For now he's just enyoing being around another member of his race, better yet since it just happens to be a female. And also, the way I look at it Yoko and Shuichi have that sort of brother relationship. They argue just like siblings do and its only natural that Yoko sees it that way after living inside the human body for so long. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Oh and someone wrote in and asked what mitosis was so I guess I can be nice and tell you, even though you shuold have learned this in school by now. Mitosis is the splitting of cells. They go through a couple phases until the cell eventually splits into two. There is also Meiosis which involves the reproduction process. Anyway there is a lot more stuff I can say about Mitosis but those are the basics...and if I have anything wrong or you want to add something than be my guest.
