Chapter 2 Kurama

"Can I help you?" His voice was soft and polite.

"Um... Well... I was just looking for someone but I think I must have made a mistake. Sorry." She turned to leave but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. She looked back at him and saw a stunned look on his face.

"Are you Rin by any chance?"

It was Rin's turn to be shocked. "How do you know my name?"

"Haha well you see we have a mutual friend." He motioned for her to enter, and after a moment she did.

"Who would that be?" Rin asked as he led her to the kitchen and started heating water for tea.

He smiled, "Shippo is..."

"WHAT! Shippo?" she cut him off. Hope to see her friend here bright in her eyes. "Is he the one who put the top on your wall?"

"Yes, he is." the man started putting out tea cups, sugar and milk. "I was never very good with such things, my talents leaned more towards plants and locks." he smiled and put tea leaves in the pot and pored hot water over them. "How do you like your tea?"

"Um... plain, thank you..." her thoughts drifted taking in this information. "If he's the one who put up the apparatus then is he still here?"

"He put that up for me about two years ago when I moved here and I haven't seen him sense. By the way, my name is Kurama." Smiling at Rin he handed her a steaming cup of tea.

Rin froze her eyes were big as she looked at him, "Kurama... as in Yoko Kurama?"

It was Kurama's turn to freeze, wide eyed.

"So you are a fox demon?" Rin asked, slowly taking the tea cup.

Kurama, recovering himself, poured another cup and sat across from his guest. "Haha..." he laughed nervously, "So you've herd of me."

"Yeah, well, you didn't exactly keep a low profile five hundred years ago. You are almost as infamous as Lord Sesshomaru, although," Rin smiled, "even I wouldn't say that in front of him. I think you stole one too many things from him."

"To my knowledge I only ever took one scroll from his castle when he was away."

Rin giggled, "Yeah I know, he wasn't very happy about it. Between you and me I think it was more about the trespassing then the scroll. Inu-youkai are super territorial, you know."

"You speak as if you know him, how is that?"

"Well, you see, he kind of adopted me..."

Before Rin could say any more another man appeared in the kitchen, seeming to step out of nowhere. He was dressed in black with spiky black hair and a white strip of cloth rapped around his forehead.

Glancing at Rin he immediately dismissed her. "Something has happened, Koenma is calling us."

Just then a knock came from the door.

"Seems I'm very popular tonight. Excuse me just a moment." Kurama went to answer the door.

Rin looked to the short demon that still ignored her. "So, what kind of demon are you?" She smiled at the stunned look on his face, but before he could say anything Shin burst into the room and launched himself at her. With no time to brace herself they both went tumbling to the floor.

"Shin, how many times have I told yo..." Rin tried to right herself but before she could Yukina was on top of her too and there was no stopping them. The questions coming from both of them were so loud and jumbled that she couldn't make any of them out.

"SIT!" Rin's command was met with immediate silence. Shin and Yukina scrambled into a formal kneeling position in front of her. Rin breathed deep and sighed, sitting up. "Okay, now, first things first, you two aren't out here wondering around on your own, are you?"

"No, Uncle Souta is with us!" the two kids said in unison.

Rin looked up to see Souta in the kitchen doorway his hand covering his mouth trying to hold back laughter. Seeing her eyes on him, he couldn't hold back any more and his laughter filled the kitchen. "You sounded... just like... Kagome when she... did that... to InuYasha..." Souta desperately tried to catch his breath and speak.

Rin giggled, "Yeah, she still dose that sometimes, that's how these two learned so well." she said motioning to the two kids.

"Sorry to interrupt, but may I ask what is going on?" Kurama asked politely

"Oh," Rin looked down in embarrassment as she stood, "Sorry Kurama, well it seems the kids noticed I was gone and came looking for me. How did you find me anyway?" She looked down at the kids.

"I followed your scent!" Shin said still at attention.

She sighed, "Ok, you two can stand up now, and introduce yourselves."

The kids jumped up smiling. "I'm Shin and I'm five!" he said happily.

"And I'm Yukina, I'm seven." The little girl bowed.

Rin noticed that the black haired demon, who up to this point had ignored the chaos of the kid's arrival, was now staring at Yukina. The little girl, seeing it too, half stepped behind Rin, hiding.

Suddenly there was a soft growl and the whole room looked at Shin, he had sensed his sister's nervousness and who was causing it. When Shin's ears went strait back as he crouched, showing his teeth, Rin quickly scooped him up to keep him from attacking the demon.

"I think we should go." she said quickly, "It was nice meeting you Kurama; I hope to see you again. Bye." Rin quickly guided the kids out to the street and started scratching Shins ears to calm him, slowly he settled, curling up in Rin's arms.
