Chapter 5

---Kurama's POV---

"Please Mother sit down and I will explain everything," I said sighing.

"Okay," she answered sitting on the edge of her chair.

"You see, Mother, twenty years ago I was a thief in Makai. Well, then the leaders of two of the three worlds wanted me dead. I was rather ruthless. So they sent a bounty hunter after me. They had been sending bounty hunters for a while, but this time it was different. My partner and best friend Kuronue, had been killed on our last raid, and so I had kind of given up for a time. Reikai decided this was the best time to seal my fate, and it would have worked if at the last second I had not decided I was not ready to die. I turned into soul form and fled here to Ningenkai. Where I found you. You were pregnant and your baby had not yet been given his soul, so I placed my own soul in the embryo of your child, and was born into this world. I had planned to leave once my spirit energy had reached its peak again, but then you saved me. I realized that I loved you despite the fact that I was a demon who wasn't supposed to feel anything. I will understand if you want to forget that I ever existed, but I want you to know that I do love you Mother. In fact the reason I know Yusuke and Hiei, is because I stole the dark treasures from Reikai to save your life. When you were sick I had never felt so alone, so when Hiei found me and asked me to help him steal the treasures it was on the condition that I got the mirror, and then I used it to save your life Mother. But I will understand if you want to forget, and if you do I will leave and I will let you live your life. You won't have to worry about me anymore," I finished sighing sadly.

"What kind of mother would I be if I forgot my own son?" Shiori said quietly.

"Mother, are you sure?" I asked softly.

"You still call me Mother, even though you had another mother before me. If you truly think of me as your mother and even if you didn't I would always accept you. You are my son, and I knew something was going on. You would disappear on what you would call school trips, and then I would see some of you class mates. And you would come home injured. No matter how hard you tried to hide it, Shuichi I knew. Oh, wait, I should call you Kurama now shouldn't I?" she asked confused.

"Well, that is my name, but I would still answer to Shuichi. However it would probably make life easier if I had a different name since Shuichi seems to be a popular name in this family," I said smiling.

"Kurama, I do like it you know. I assume Hiei was here for some support for you since I think you knew I would react the way I did. I am sorry son. I was just not expecting that, you didn't look like my boy, but when you spoke and the look in your eyes when you said you would let me forget if that is what I wanted, well then I knew that no matter what you looked like you were my son. I would never wish to forget you Shui- Kurama," she said correcting herself.

"You know I love you right Mother?" I asked.

"Yes and I love you too, Kurama," she replied. "Oh, and Hiei, you are of course welcomed in my home anytime. I always thought of you like a son, so when Shui- Kurama's father said something about him thinking you two were together I was already accepting you into the family. Now we will just have to go about it in a different way. Perhaps the two of you would like some ice cream for dessert?"

I glanced over at Hiei and almost laughed at the look on my friend's face. He pratcilly lit up like a Christmas tree. I knew he would accept, but my mothers laugh rang out and the three of us when into the kitchen for some ice cream.

---Hiei's POV---

We ate the sweet snow, and then I made my excuses to leave. I had been worried for a short period of time that Shiori would not want anything to do with her son, but all turned out well for the fox. I had a feeling that would not be the case with me. I had finally decided that telling Yukina would be what was best for her, but now with this new onna I was unsure of what to think anymore. I would have to keep closer tabs on my sister and make sure this girl was not a threat to her. I found myself in my tree at Genkai's temple, and was not at all surprised to see the two girls outside talking. I deliberately made no attempt to hear their conversation or to hide my ki from them. In fact I counted on Yukina's kindness to ensure I was invited to join the conversation. Sure enough after only a few minutes she called up to me.

"Hiei-san, would you like to join us for a cup of tea?" Yukina asked sweetly.

"Yes, Yukina I would," I replied not wanting to upset her by being short with her.

Yukina smiled and went inside to get some tea. While she was gone Hiei took his time observing Tenshi.

---Tenshi's POV---

I couldn't help but be nervous as Hiei's red eyes never left me from the moment Yukina left. I wasn't sure what he wanted, but I didn't think it could be a good thing. I tried to stay calm in appearance at least, but it was not working out for me.

"Hiei, do you need something, because you have been staring at me for a while now, and whatever it is you are wondering about I am sure I could give you the answer faster than you could find it by looking at me," I said trying to keep my voice steady.

"Hn," he replied.

"I hope you two found something to talk about while I was gone," Yukina said smiling as she returned with a tray of tea and cookies.

I glanced nervously at Hiei who only smiled slightly at his sister and took the cup she offered him. I couldn't help but notice how different he looked when he looked at her, and I knew Yukina would be safe as long as Hiei was there to protect her. Then I realized who would I be safe around. Perhaps Kurama, he seemed nice enough and seemed to worry that Hiei was not being nice to me. Just then I heard a familiar noise.

"Kiba!" I called out hoping it truly was what I thought it was.
