Yay! It is now NaNoWriMo! In other words, I'm working on a Fanfict-Novel (for another site) Instead of this. We have a few chapters backed up for such times we can't write, But that means the Daily Uploads are stopping for awhile (I honestly don't want to burn through out Back log of Chapters) So There will be One on Monday's and one on Friday's until after November! Thanks all of you guys!

Chapter Six:

Youmaru's heat didn't end until the next day. His poor kit had to suffer the entire day with his heat. He would never admit it to Kuronue, but he was glad he'd been there to help him.

But that didn't stop him from glaring down at the bat demon sitting smugly on one of the chairs in the living area. Youko growled a bit, but kept from exploding at him. He did help Youmaru after all. He deserved some credit, right?

The silver fox stared down at the bat, then finally asked, "How did you know I was here?" he was curious. Rumor spread of the lords new mate and his children, but no mention of Youko's name had ever been given. So he wanted to know how Kuronue even knew he was here.

"Of course I kept tabs on you, Kurama." Kuronue sounded offended, "one little fight and it's the end of the world? Pff. I've known for years where you were, just, yanno, biding my time." He flashed the fox a smug grin and licked his lips.

Youko released a snarl as he practically tackled the bat, not caring the chair flipped back. "What the Fuck is wrong with you!?" he screeched.

Kuronue laughed as he was flipped, and rolled to pin the enraged fox between his thighs around the silver's waist, his wings flaring to keep his balance. "Mm, now isn't this familiar? Tsk, tsk, come now, Kurama!" He chided, and pulled a necklace from a hidden pocket in his haori, "is that any way to treat a friend?" The green gem glittered in the light as the bat dangled it teasingly above Youko's face.

Youko gasped when he was moved and soon pinned he snarled, "You have ten...no five seconds to get off me before I let my ma-..." He blinked at the green gem, then back to Kuronue confused, "The hell is that?"

Kuronue chuckled, the sound rumbling deep in his chest, "A peace offering, fox." Dangling it closer to the intrigued silver's face, the fox image hidden within the emerald gleamed to life and seemed to move of its own accord.

Youkos eyes widened. No way. No fucking way... He stared at the gem for a moment longer before he looked up at the bat. He watched him a moment frowning. "How did you find it?" he asked softly. Currently ignoring how their position may look if his mate were to walk in.

The bat flashed his fangs in a smugly superior grin, "Like I was just sitting on my hands for fifty years? Psh. Once I knew you were serious I decided to waste some time hunting this little beauty down. There aren't many like it..." His tone changed, and his eyes hazed a bit as he stared almost lustfully at the necklace, "but I remember what you said about it, how it was passed down from your mother..." He shrugged.

Youko's silver auds pinned back. Well at least the bat remembered something he told him. But he growled, "Why would you think I wasn't serious?" he growled a bit squirming a bit. "Get off you're hurting my back" he grumbled.

Youko let his head flop against the floor with a thunk. Okay ouch that hurt a bit. "So, What stupid thing are you wanting me to do or say for it back?"

When the bat didn't move or say anything Youko gave a growl, "Off with ya!" he snapped moving to throw the bat off of him before he rolled to his side facing away from the bat. He groaned ow fuck his back was hurting. Stupid Bat, it was all his fault! But he sighed moving to sit up, hand going through silvery hair, "Are you going to answer me?" he snapped a bit irritable. He wanted to wipe that smug grin off the bats face.

Kuronue grumbled as he swung the necklace chain around his finger. "How about get your mate to stop plotting my death, fox? Sounds like a fair enough trade to me."

Youko chuckled a bit, "Well don't you think you at least deserve it a little?" He smirked watching the bat demon. "After all, who knows how long you've been lurking around our home."

Kuronue batted his lashes coquettishly as he lifted a hand to cover his quirked lips. "Indeed. Who knows?"

Youko rolled his eyes, but he moved getting to his feet brushing his clothing a bit to straighten them up. "All right... I'll talk to him." he groaned. Youko looked at the bat silently for a moment but then asked softly, "So... Where did you find it?" he couldn't help wondering.

The bat looked sly for a moment before he laughed, "Oh, a little hole in the ground... Catch." The silver chain and green jewel went flying towards the fox.

Youko easily caught it, looking at it once it was in his hand. "You never like giving straight answers" he muttered more to himself than actually talking to the bat. His hand closed on the gem as he glanced over at the bat. "But I must say thanks." It did mean a lot to him to finally have it back. It was the only thing he had had left of his mother, to have had it stolen from him when he'd only been a kit is what got him into his...career choice.

He turned, "You're not expecting to stay I hope. While I can convince my mate to not maul you, I can't guarantee he'd be...civil." With that the fox stepped from the room to go talk to said mate.

He found his mate and only son in the bathroom. It was there Sesshoumaru was helping their exhausted kit clean up. He smiled a bit. Sesshoumaru was a good father, he wouldn't let anyone ever get away with saying other wise.

The silver fox slowly stepped into the room and knelt by the edge, a hand moved and gently moved some of Youmaru's hair from his face. "How are you feeling?" he asked his kit softly.

Youmaru opened his eyes turned his head enough to look at his mother and sighed. He ached, but he didn't need his mother upset over it. It wasn't like the bat really hurt him. It was just how it was for someones first time. So the dog-fox just gave a faint shrug at let his eyes close again. He just wanted to sleep. He couldn't really blame his dad for wanting the bat demons scent off him, but he really didn't want to be moving around right now.

Youko sighed but understood. Fingers gently went through his sons hair as his kit rested. He looked up to his mate who must've finished as he started to lift Youmaru.

The fox moved out of the way and got a towel to wrap his kit in for his mate, then got another to dry off Sesshoumaru while Sesshoumaru dried off Youmaru. The fox didn't mind taking care of his mate. Especially if why he needed to was because he was taking care of one of their kits.

When dry, Youko helped Sesshoumaru get their exhausted kit redressed, and Youko held Youmaru in a sitting position on the bench letting his kit lean against him while Sesshoumaru got dressed.

Youko followed Sesshoumaru to Youmaru's room. It was there he was glad to see the staff all ready changed the sheets and cleaned up the room, the scent of Youmaru's heat and the smell from the sex that took place was no longer heavy in the room.

The silver fox pulled the cover back and moved out of the way when Sesshoumaru laid their kit down. Youko smiled softly and lightly covered his kit leaning down he kissed his forehead, "Just get some rest Youmaru." he stated softly.

Youmaru gave his mother the faintest of nods, not needing to be told twice. The exhausted boy fell asleep soon there after.

Youko sighed softly and looked to his mate... His hand moved and gently took Sesshoumaru's offering him a gentle smile. "Lets let him rest" he whispered softly to his mate.

It was after he received a faint nod that he led his mate out into the hall, watching as he gently closed the door.

"So, I have to ask you to not murder Kuronue. As much as you or I hate how this happened, he did save our sons life."

"Hn, this Sesshoumaru will not maim him so long as the bat leaves immediately." He was a very grouchy dog lord, and did not approve of stray youkai molesting his son, even if said molesting saved his pup's life.

Youko gave a nod, and he leaned in and gently gave his mates cheek a soft peck. "Thank you for being understanding" he stated softly. He gave a smile before he went down the hall to promptly boot the bat out.

When he reached the downstairs he crossed his arms, "Okay, time for you to go."

Kuronue huffed as he swung his legs off the chair he'd been splayed out on, "Well that's gratitude for ya! I give you your precious treasure, save your son's life, and get booted out before I even get a meal!"

He was mostly teasing and they both knew it.

Youko rolled his eyes shaking his head, "You're still very full of yourself" he chuckled softly. "But I'm sure you remember where my den is in the western lands here, you're welcome to stay there." It was the best he could offer without his mate getting mad...

Kuronue smirked, and stood up to approach the fox, "See you soon, then, Kurama? We've got a lot to catch up on." Sneakily attacking the mated kitsune with a peck on the cheek, the thief flew out of there like a bat out of hell.

Youko watched him, arms crossed watching him but gave the faintest of nods. He supposed they should catch up to some degree. If his mate ever let him out of his sight. But at the peck Youko sputtered and turned growling, "You better run!" He huffed, growling a bit. That cheeky bat.
