Chapter 7
---Kurama's POV---
"Who is Ki-" I began but then something furry jumped at me knocking me to the ground.
At first I was nervous, but then whatever it was started licking me and nuzzling my neck, I couldn't hold back the laughter. I had to assume this was Kiba. She was beautiful, and with a little persuasion she let me up.
"I am assuming this sweet girl is Kiba?" I asked softly laying my hand on the silver head.
"She likes you? That is unusual, she has never really been around men and does not trust them easily," Tenshi said slightly confused.
"Well, I am a fox spirit, so I think she sees me as a kindred soul. That is why I would be best to find the fox kit. Kiba will you join me in the hunt for Angel?" I said turning to the wolf.
Kiba let out a soft growl and I could tell the wolf was worried about the kit. We began to walk into the forest, and Hiei followed casting a glare back and warning the girls not to follow us.
We wandered through the forest me calling gently in both my mind and out loud to the fox kit. I hoped that with Kiba's help we would be able to find Angel. I couldn't help but worry about the kit. I was after all a fox, and the thought that the poor baby would get hurt or would be lost in the woods saddened me.
"Fox, do you think we will find the kit?" Hiei asked.
"We have to find her Hiei! I would hate for a sweet little kit to be lost out here forced to fend for herself!" I exclaimed.
"Emotional Fox!" Hiei said rolling his eyes at me.
"Why would you call for me if you were not worried about the sweet little thing too?" I asked smirking.
"The Onna, and my sister were worried, and they were about to go looking on their own, and I could not allow that now could I?" Hiei answered calmly.
"No, they would be better off if they stayed away from Genkai's Forrest. Still I hope we find her soon. Even I would not enjoy being here after nightfall," I said before reaching out my senses trying to find the little fox kit.
"Hn," was the response I got.
"ANGEL! Come on out, Honey. I won't hurt you, and I won't let the mean old fire demon hurt you either. I am a fox too Angel, so come out and play with me!" I called hoping to appeal to her more playful instincts.
"Fox, did you hear something?" Hiei asked softly hand on the hilt of his katana.
"Yes, I did… I believe it was the kit, but I could be wrong," I said softly, then turned to Kiba, "Kiba, is that the kit? Do you feel her?"
Only minutes after I had said this than a little fox kit came bounding into the small clearing we had just walked into. I smiled and scooped her up into my arms and Kiba seemed to not mind at all. The kit yipped and liked at my face, and I knew I would be attached to the sweet little girl and I was very right. We made our way out of the forest, and I was not surprised in the least to see both girls waiting anxiously at the edge of the forest for us to return.
"OH, Angel! Are you okay?" Tenshi cried the second she saw the kit cradled in my arms.
"No need to worry about her. She is perfectly fine. She fell asleep in my arms when I wouldn't put her down to go play," I said chuckling slightly.
"Kurama, thank you so much for finding Angel! I don't know what I would have done if she had been hurt!" Tenshi said smiling at me.
"Well, I couldn't very well leave one of my own out there to fend for itself in that big bad forest now could I Angel?" I said talking 'baby talk' to the little fox who had just woken up and liked my face.
"Oh, Angel! I told you not to ever leave Kiba and myself. You could have gotten hurt!" Tenshi said and the kit turned to her yipping and wriggling in my arms trying to get to her.
I handed the kit to Tenshi and almost laughed when she wasn't sure who to turn to. She seemed to have missed the Koorime, but she could also sense that I was a kindred spirit, and therefore was reluctant to leave me.
"Well, Angel, I have to go to my house now, but I will come back to visit this weekend. I will visit you too Kiba," I said chuckling when the wolf nudged my leg. "Tenshi if you need anything for them let me know. I know quite a bit about foxes and I am sure wolves are very similar. I will be back this weekend to spend some more time with you and the kits. Have a good week. Oh, and Yukina, try to keep Hiei in line," I said smirking.
"Have a good week, Kurama-san!" Yukina said as I walked out of the compound.
"Yes, have a good week Kurama-san!" Tenshi echoed.
