Since Kagome could not give an adequate explanation to her presence at what she was fast-suspecting was a secret hide-away, Youko was…bribed into getting up, this time by his friend kindly pinching the delicate tips of his ear.
He gave her a soft smile, even as the kitsune was snarling in his grasp, and quietly excused the two of them. "I apologize Miss…?"
"Kagome." She helpfully filled in.
"Miss Kagome. But my…friend and I have something quick to discuss."
The morning's events had woken her up with a startling clarity, and she had already scrambled out of the makeshift bed the moment it became apparent Youko was not indiscriminate on who he hurt in an effort to escape. It was easy to see that this was a discussion she did not need to be present for.
"That's cool," she said, waving his request away with a flippant hand "I'll just…go collect breakfast, or something."

AN: I'm glad everyone liked the early introduction...and I must apologize if I don't reply to any questions right away, my e-mail or my fanfiction account are being buggy (which is nothing new) and I'm not receiving all the information.
And I really appreciate all of the terribly kind (and absolute ego-inflating) reviews. You all motivate me.
