The Yu Yu team walked into the office along with the small baby, the first thing they noticed was Kuwabara standing in front of Koenma complaining still about being left behind on this mission.
"Shut it baka we're back already. Besides the place we were going called for silence, which it wouldn't be with you spouting about your stupid code!" The rest of the team could see he was in a bad mood so Koenma spoke up to stop the oncoming fight.
"No fighting! Now on with this I see you've brought the child, were there any problems?" His tone was serious despite his previous out burst so Kurama spoke up.
"The wards were already down by the time we arrived and one of the ferry girls had already taken the souls of the parents. Though one ferry as still there looking for the dark soul. We left the note you gave us on the child's pillow then left." He sat down on the couch that was off to the side of the room and the child seemed perfectly content to sleep in Kurama's arms.
Following the example everyone but Hiei found a comfortable place to sit. Yusuke blew a puff of breath before asking what was on most of their minds if not in the same context.
"Hey Toddler what are we supposed to do with the kid? Unless of course in your rush to send us you forgot to think about that fact." Koenma colored immediately at the loathed nickname then flushed even more at the truth in the statement.
He had not thought ahead to that point in the plan. So far all he knew was that his most feared father, King Enma, had told him to retrieve the child and to make sure he was well taken care of and able to take care of himself in a battle before he was sent to Hogwarts. He discreetly looked up at his team and watched them as he thought.
The best choice would have to be powerful to keep the child safe and the person would need to be patient. He watched as Kurama calmly stopped an argument between Yusuke and Kuwabara without waking the sleeping child in his arms.
A light seemed to go on in his head as he kept on watching. "Say Kurama where ever did you learn to take care of a baby?" The creepy grin on his face never wavering.
"Most of it comes from natural instinct from Youko and the rest from helping my mother take care of my brother." His interest was clearly not on this conversation for he had taken on the blank look and face he usually adopted when talking to the fox spirit inside his mind. Not that Koenma for his part knew that Youko was now awake for the gears were now turning in that oh so childishly big head of his and that same creepy grin had tuned into a full blown evil smile.
"Say Kurama, I have decided that from now on you are to take care of the child." He said this in a 'that's final' voice. Kurama looked up in surprise at the tiny ruler. Then nodded with an odd look on his face meaning Youko had said to him.
Koenma was already drawing up the details on some papers then yelling for George, thus waking little Harry. He cringed at the annoyed look Kurama sent toward him before calming down the child. Harry was happy enough to do so for this person that reminded him of his mother. Harry started squirming until Kurama set him on the ground so he could explore.
He looked around the room before crawling toward the desk. Behind the desk there was some convenient stairs to the large black chair. He tumbled into the chair and saw another baby. He smiled to the other baby till he saw what was in his mouth. It was a pacifier and a big blue one at that.
With his undeveloped reflexes he was able to pull the pacifier from the other surprised babies mouth and pop it into his own. He sucked happily and slapped away the other baby's hand. He heard laughter to the side and turned his head that way while still batting away the hand.
It was the green man with the shiny hair Harry smiled around the pacifier before climbing onto the desk. There were many buttons up here and he pushed a random button and his eyes widened when a compartment on the desk opened up to show a bowl full of candy.
He happily reached for some but was picked up before he could have any. He looked up at the person he had decided was his new mommy and smile before going back to sucking on the pacifier happily. When it was plucked out of his mouth he started screeching until it flew back into his mouth with the help of his accidental magic.
He was happy again. Youko was snickering from his place in Kurama's mind. He was watching the whole scene and couldn't wait to see what the little trickster would do next.
Koenma was really upset now his precious pacifier the one he pored his excess spirit energy into and had the power to destroy the world. (From the episodes with sensui. Sp.) Plus it was his favorite one damn it. He watched as Kurama tried to retrieve it for him only to have the child put out such a wale before it came whizzing back into the kid's mouth.
He took out his anger of not having it with him on poor gaping George to hurry up and get the papers he wanted. Harry watched as the blue thing rushed out of the room. Kurama looked down into and let his eyes flash from silver to green in hopes of keeping Harry entertained so he couldn't cause any more trouble.
Koenma pouted as he excused himself to tell his father that the kid wouldn't give him his pacifier back. He came back later with a sullen and unhappy face. He glared briefly at the kid before he took his seat.
"He can keep it but it has to be with him on his person at all times. You will make sure of that." He opened up a drawer on his desk and pulled out a new blue pacifier and popped it into his mouth with a sigh. "Bring him closer for a moment so I can make it more inconspicuous as he grows." Kurama steps forward and watched as Koenma's hand glowed with his gold colored spirit energy toward the pacifier. "That should make it to where when he turns a certain age and does not use a pacifier anymore it will become a shape of a sucker or something like that."
Koenma sat back and pulled at the papers that were on his desk. "This is the birth certificate and his metical records and a certification of adoption in the human world and one for the Makai and Rekei world. There are some other papers and information in here so if problems arise with Harry they should help."
Kurama picked up the folder after shifting Harry to his hip. He tucked to folder under his arm and nodded to Koenma. He was wondering what he was going to tell his mother as Koenma dismissed them. He stepped through the glowing portal with Harry trying to grab at the pretty colors the whole way.
As he exited he noticed his companions waiting for him on the other side. They talked as Harry looked around his new surroundings with great interest. They stopped at an eatery so Kurama could quickly look over the rest of the folder.
Apparently someone was smarter then Koenma for they had written him a story to tell others. His cover was that a young woman that looked worn out had seen his school uniform and asked him to watch the bay while she went to get the rest of her groceries from the store near. Kurama being the nice and at that point surprised youth that he was took one look at the tired near tears mother and agreed to watch the child as she went shopping. The woman handed him a baby bag then took off to the store.
He sat down at a near by bench and waited, then waited some more. It had finally been two and a half hour and he walked toward the store to look for the woman. After asking around he found that the woman had slipped out the back entrance. He looked through the baby bag and found everything that was in the folders only the names of the parents on the birth certificate had been cut out and the hospital name had been too.
Kurama looked through the folder and found the certificate stated before continuing on his reading. He had informed the authorities immediately but they could not do anything the woman had clearly abandoned the child. The best they could do was put him in an orphanage. Kurama did not find this a good idea so decided to take the child.
Kurama informed the rest of the cover story so they wouldn't get their stories crossed if asked. He decided to get a baby bag like said in the story when a nice colored blue one popped onto their table with a note.
'Sorry forgot the bag.' The note was written in feminine script that belonged to Boton. He opened the bag and put the documents specified from the story into the bag then zipped it up. He put the rest of it back into the folder and they continued to their respective home.
His mother was very understanding of the situation and said that if he had not adopted the child she would of. She was also happy to have a grand child. She happily played with the new baby while Kurama watched on amused.
He was in his last year of school and the year was almost over so unless his fan girls found out too soon everything should be fine. Yusuke had long ago bullied Koenma into paying them for their work. Even if he did not get that money he could just go find one of Youko's old dens and sell some of the loot he had stolen long ago.
Kurama helped his mother fix dinner as she talked to her husband about the new member of the family happily. The man was very understanding and was proud of his stepson's decision. It was soon ready and Kurama pulled out of the bay bag a small can of formula powder and a clean bottle.
He fixed the milk with quick efficiency and handed the warm bottle to the infant. Harry tried to drink the bottle around the pacifier but found problems at first. He soon had it to where here could drink uninterrupted. Kurama watched the child he was holding with a smile before settling down to eat his own meal.
Kurama's mother watched on with a smile at the picture her son and new grandson made. Suuichi was such a natural father in her opinion.
End Chapter 2An: Well there it is for you. Could anyone tell me what Kurama's mother's name is and what her new surname is and the name of her husband? If you have any questions just ask. Ja Ne.
