A/N~ Ok so it occurred to me that I hadn't put proper dedication where it was due. My apologies to MimosaEvans. She made the request and gave the prompt for this lovely piece for which we have received copious reviews and kudos. Take a bow Mimosa. Also please note as Mimosa says this is fan fiction the fact that Hales name isn't his last name is true. The No Relation between he and Kenzi is meant as an inside joke for the pair. As they are the comedians in their little group. Please continue to read, enjoy and review. ~A

A/N/N~ Due to a crisis that has come up I am having to put this and all of my other work on hiatus. This is only a temporary situation, I honor my commitments. However, nothing more will be posted until after the holidays when I'll hopefully have a better grasp on the situation. ~A

No Relation 2

Kenzi went back and forth on her decision. She was angry, furious really and actually a little shocked that her fellow werewolf hadn't figured out that she was one as well. She finally realized that maybe he had just never body hopped before. Not that it was a normal thing by any chance, but her Uncle Peter used to use it as a party trick sometimes.

What she was furious about now was the stupid deal that her werewolf had made with the Norn. A freaking Norn, really? During one of their phone calls, her brother had told her, a couple of the members of his Pack knew more about the supernatural than her Uncle. According to Uncle Peter, he knew everything, so she couldn't wait to meet these guys. When she had called to get advice from the two men in her life, Uncle Peter had told her to run away in the other direction as fast as she could.

So of course here she was standing outside of the old woman's apartment, with a despondent and surprisingly reluctant Dyson. Ok this creature was an old and powerful fae. It didn't mean she couldn't be reasoned with, right?

After all her wolf just wasn't himself without his heart. She had nearly cried when the woebegone wolf had let her slap the crap out of him. Actually truth be told she had nearly used a hint of her werewolf strength on the morose creature. Only staying hidden for so long had saved her from revealing that little secret and managing to restrain herself.

As it was the old woman still managed to piss the little werewolf by not only ridiculing the D-man but basically ignoring the "human" in the room, but also by not listening to what they had to say at all. Kenzi took the werewolf home reluctantly.

She would have loved to talk to her brothers human advisors if only to find out how a human would react in this situation but her uncle and brother were both reluctant to give her the human members of their Pack information. She found it a little odd especially since her mother had always been very pro-human. Instead she decided to go with her own version of bad-ass human.

Which is how she ended up outside the old woman's apartment again, this time toting a chainsaw. To say the old woman was a little more willing to listen to Kenzi this time would have been a lie. To say Kenzi gave her little choice in the matter would have been closer to the truth. When she started cutting on the Norn's tree, she did think about possible repercussions to her and the fae here, she wasn't actually worried about her family back home.

After all, no one here knew she was a werewolf let alone fae. No one here knew she was related to those Hale's. So when she accidentally spilled the black goo on her arm and heard the old woman whispering something about it being a gift she didn't really pay attention. She was only concerned with getting back her werewolves heart after all.

She was actually surprised the fae didn't ask more questions about how she got his heart back from the Norn. Then she figured it out, he was more interested in getting his heart back where it belonged so that he could hook back up with Bo and have the happy, sexy times with the succubus.

Later after the failed possession by Inari: She was tired and sore and while grateful to the others for saving her. She was a little tired of the questions. Oh she knew exactly why the kitsune couldn't actually possess her. Especially since even Inari couldn't figure it out. She was used to possessing fae, a simple human should have been no match for her. Apparently she'd never actually tried to possess a werewolf before. Bedding them yes, possessing not so much.

"Your werewolf friend won't know what hit him," she had told Kenzi after setting up the traps around the bound and bruised "human". "Of course I'll have to get the succubus out of the way, first, but for some reason they'll listen to you. Even over one of their own kind."

"They won't believe you," Kenzi said vehemently, "They know I would never turn against Bo."

"No, of course not," the kitsune responded in a sickly sweet tone. "Unless it was more of a restraining until she's better sort of situation. Protect her from hurting herself or others. Then later I'll come back and give her the rest of the dose."

"You poisoned her?" Kenzi gasped as things fell into place. "That's why she's been acting so odd,"

"Actually not me, us." Inari replied as she continued to get things ready, "I may not have been able to take full possession of you for some strange freakish reason," she said still obviously ticked ff about that. "But I could influence you to poison your best friends coffee with a little wolves bane."

Kenzi paled visibly. Pretending she had no idea what the drug could do to other fae or even humans was the hardest thing she had ever done but it did explain her current weakened condition, as well as Bo's current behavior. "Bo's not a werewolf, she's a succubus you moron,"

The slap wasn't something she's expected but it did cause her to create a gap in the ward's circle before Inari could finish setting it. "You already know it's affecting her, you yourself are feeling the effects. This particular variety," she said holding up a vial of powder, "has very satisfying results on a werewolf's libido…very satisfying." Yeah, that was definitely a very pervy look in her own grey eyes. She should know they were her eyes after all.

"They'll still know you're not me." Kenzi demanded, although a little more weakly.

"Will they?" Inari taunted before leaving Kenzi alone in the cold cavern.

They still can't figure out how she didn't get possessed by the kitsune, they figure it was the fox spirits decision not to saddle herself with a fragile human host. Truth was the kitsune spirits usually preferred human hosts. Yes they were fragile but they were also easier to control. At least according to Peter. Kenzi knew why though. Hosts no matter what type were usually single occupancy type deals. Two spirits couldn't occupy the same body, even when the wolf is a bitten were, Kenzi was a born werewolf. Inari hadn't stood a chance in hell.

Wolves and foxes normally didn't get along. The kitsune didn't usually have choice in the sex department though. During the last great fae war, before humans actually became the next big thing. Most of the kitsune males were killed off. The rest were killed by human diseases and so forth. To make more kitsunes the females had to sleep with wolves, as they were the closest to their own kind still living. It still required a great deal of magic to actually have kits, but it could be done.

The kitsune had tried to seduce D-man and failed, then she tried to possess him too. Stupid girl, with his newly renovated heart back in place, again not a chance in hell. Even less of besting him in battle, guess she wasn't thinking with the right organ. Really stupid, though on a certain level Kenzi could totes understand. After all D was a hottie.

She did have to admit to being a little amazed that until Inari had shown her true face to Bo. No one not even Trick had figured out the trickster wasn't her, not even Bo. Of curse she was also rather glad they hadn't figured out how she had avoided being possessed by the creature. It was surprisingly Lauren who gave her the out.

The lady doctor explained, "When Kenzi was under Inari's influence and had poisoned Bo. You had also accidentally poisoned yourself and that made you poisonous to the fox spirit. So while it nearly killed you it also saved you from Inari, in the long run."

That right there was when Kenzi forgot her dislike of the lady doc and decided the woman was not only worthy to date Bo but was more than worthy of her, Kenzi's friendship.

Of course when she had spoken to her relatives in California several days later, they weren't happy. After all not only had she risked herself for what amounted to a Rogue Omega but a succubus as well. She had to admit it was the first time she had actually hung up on the Alpha since she had moved up here.

Later on that week: Waking up in the Crack Shack, was another blow to her already damaged heart. Finding her werewolf in the bathroom of her den, half naked and smelling of sex with Bo. Yeah no pain there at all.

She had been trying and failing not to read love into the way Dyson had held her after he and Bo had found her in Inari's den. The way he had said, "There you are," as if he had been looking for her all his life and suddenly had realized it.

When she had gotten the call from Derek later that same day. Her excuse to Bo and the others about a family emergency, while true, the tone she used felt flat even to her own ears. Her aching heart was too hungry for her own Pack and her own den to care at that moment though.

She really was trying not to remember how it was when Bo and then Dyson had found her that day in the kitsune den. Bo hugging her and Dyson holding her for longer, much longer than was necessary. She was surprised he hadn't smelled the scents of love and desire mixed on her since then, or the heavy depression she was sure she had been sporting since this morning.

Derek's call couldn't have come at a better time. Even if it was because the Alpha Pack had decided to pay a visit to their old friends the Hales. Yeah, right. She's heard the stories even this far North. She knew how bad it was that Decaulion was visiting and the death and destruction he had left in his wake the past several years.

Basically she went through the motions for the rest of the day. Arranged the flight by phone, packed her clothes while listening with half an ear to Bo's complaints about being abandoned. Ignored Dyson's attempt at interrogating her about her family, where she was going, what kind of emergency was happening. Truthfully the hardest one to face was the "other human" in their little group. The only one who seemed to be being supportive about the whole thing, Lauren.

Kenzi was glad she had splurged for the first class accommodations on the plane. She cried when she was able to, ate when she was hungry and slept when she could.
