Tournament is over and Himeko, Hayashi, Kietia, Hiei, Kurama, Miroke, Rose, Yukina, and Matzu all went back to their house together with a guest Kuronue.

Himeko and Kurama has insisted that Kuronue stay with them for a while. Botan and Yusuke had finally got married after the tournament and lived in Makai with Lord Raizen.

"Okay can some one please tell me why Youko has red hair and green eyes?" Kuronue asked as every one sat down for dinner. (that little table just keeps getting bigger and bigger…^_^;;;)

"Oh yeah sorry Kuronue. This is Youko in a way. Kurama is half human/half spirit Kitsune. He can explain it better then me. Hopefully…" Himeko said as she helped Miroke and Yukina put the food on the table for dinner.

"Uh…I'm two different people but the same person… confusing I know." Kurama said.

"Uh…Kurama I guess…congratulations you just confused me for the first time ever in you're in tire life." Kuronue said and shook his head confused and Himeko started laughing. Every one turned and looked at her like she was crazy except Kurama who seemed completely embarrassed and Kuronue who was completely confused.

"Congrats Kurama." Himeko said and put her hand on his shoulder. "you've accomplished something Youko tired to do the in tire time we were partners. Youko tried his damnedest to confuse Kuronue. Never worked though, always' confused himself." Himeko said then walked over and sat down beside Hiei still laughing a little.

"I'm not trying to confuse him this time. You explain it Himeko you remember better then I do about that night." Kurama said in a whiny tone.

"Oh all right." Himeko said then looked over at the children at the table who seemed to be done with their food.

"Rose if you're done go play outside." Kurama's said and smiled at his little girl who jumped up and hugged his leg then ran out side.

"Hayashi, Kietia go with her." Hiei said and Himeko watched them leave.

"Thanks Himeko." Kurama said and smiled at her.

"No problem Kurama. Anyway after the night of your so called death Kuronue, we had one more job to do and we were going to do it before caring out our deal which we had already broken…" Himeko said.

"Deal what deal?" Hiei asked.

"Friends for ever till the end no matter what. Never leave a friend behind." Kurama started and was surprised that Kuronue and Himeko had started at the same time. They looked between each other and smiled.

"How'd you break it?" Matzu asked.

"I didn't want to. Kuronue had been trapped and told us to go on. Youko grabbed me and we left him behind…we broke our deal." Himeko said and looked at Kuronue sadly.

"I told you to go you didn't break the deal." Kuronue said.

"no matter what. Never leave a friend behind. We broke it. We left you." Himeko said.

"Believe it or not I've regretted that day since it happened." Kurama said and closed his eyes as if he was remembering it all over again. "I still have every event of that night engraved in my memory and nightmares." Kurama said and looked down sadly.

"Old friend do not let it bother you so much anymore." Kuronue said and smiled at Kurama.

"that was the worst decision I ever made and I regret it every day of my life Kuronue. I can never say I'm sorry enough nor can I ask for your forgiveness." Kurama said then stood up and walked to the kitchen window and looked out at his young Rose.

"Actually I still have what we stole that night. It was your families." Himeko said. And looked at Kuronue then Kurama who seemed sad.

"Kurama are you all right darling?" Miroke said as she walked up to him and squeezed his arm lightly to show him she was beside him.

"I'll be all right, Miroke." Kurama said smiled at her weakly.

"I told you to leave so no more of the regrets you two." Kuronue said and smiled at his two old partners. "now back to how Youko got red hair." He said.

"Ah yes. We were going to do the last job we had scheduled then go to the human world as agreed on by the three of us. But every thing went wrong, terribly wrong. Youko and I got separated. But I don't remember how we got separated." Himeko said and looked like she was trying to remember what had happened that night to separate her and Youko. Kurama and Miroke came back to the table and sat down to listen to the rest of the story.

"Anyway…since I can't seem to remember how we got separated…" Himeko said shaking her head. "After we were separated something happened and Youko went on a killing spree. I found him and calmed him down enough to convince him we needed out of there. But before we got a chance to leave. Youko and I were both severely injured. Youko's fox form took over and he fled to the human world to hide. Leaving me severely injured and by my self. Youko possessed an unborn human child hence Kurama, or Shuichi Minamino." Himeko said.

"I abandoned you too Himeko…" Kurama said stunned that he had abandoned he two most precious friends and they still stood by his side.

"You had no choice in the matter Kurama your in-stinks took over and saved your life." Himeko said and smiled at Kurama.

"How'd you survive Himeko if you were wounded and alone." Kuronue asked.

"Oh me…uhm…I was chased for five day's straight then cornered…but after that I don't know. the next thing I remember is I'm in the human world with Miroke and we eventually meet up with Hiei and Kurama." Himeko said and shrugged.

"You survived but don't remember how." Kuronue said stunned.

"I don't blame her for not remembering. When I found her she was unconscious and almost beat to death. If I had been any later I wouldn't have been able to help her me being an ice apparition." Miroke said.

"If you'd been there Kuronue I'm sure we wouldn't have been separated so easily. It was a stupid mistake made by us but I can't remember what it was." Himeko said.

"Sorry but I didn't escape until twelve years later." Kuronue said.

"we thought you were Dead Kuronue." Kurama said

"I thought I would die but they didn't kill me they wanted to trick you two to come back for me then kill all three of us together since we had been such a nuisance to the demon world." Kuronue said.

"why hadn't you told me any of this stuff before Himeko?" Hiei asked as he stood up behind her and started rubbing her neck.

"It's just event's that happened in the past. I don't like to dwell on them because we live now not in the past. Friends of my past shall be my friend in the future." Himeko said and smiled up at Hiei, who leaned down and kissed her lovingly. She raised her hand to his cheek and kissed him back.

"Daddy, daddy, there's some guy here to see Youko, Himeko, and uh what was the other name Hayashi." Rose said and she Hayashi and Kietia ran back into the kitchen.

"Kuro…nue or something like that. Kuro something." Hayashi said.

"Kuronue?" Kuronue said and smiled at the young children.

"Yeah that's it!" Kietia said and hugged Hiei's leg.

"Why do we all way's get bothered?" Himeko said annoyed as she stood up and walked out the door.

"Itsuke wait." Youko said as he followed her.

"Well Youko's back again cause Kurama don't call me Itsuke. Come on Kuronue." Himeko said and smiled back at Kuronue who seemed to intent on staying in the house with Hayashi and Kietia.

"Yes you need something?" Youko said as they walked outside and spotted the guy who had asked to see them.

"Uh yes. I was wondering if you could help me get rid of the spirit detective." The guy said he looked very desperate.

"What's your name kid?" Kuronue asked.

"Gentatzu." The guy said he has long jet black hair put up into a high ponytail and violent eyes. He also carries a sword by his side.

"Nope! Yusuke Urameshi Spirit detective of the Human world is in an alliance with us." Himeko said and looked at the Gentatzu who looked like he wanted kill her right then.

"Problem with that answer?" Youko asked as his tail twitched very irritably because of the way the Gentatzu was staring at Himeko.

"No." Gentatzu said angrily then left with out another word.

"Well the three of us just made a new enemy." Himeko said and started back into the house.

"Mommy!!" Hayashi yelled excitedly as he ran out of the house and grabbed her leg.

"Ahh…Hayashi ya almost made me fall…"Himeko said stumbling a little but mad sure not to hurt the little one in front of her.

"Sorry Mommy…" Hayashi said sadly as he held his head low and backed away from Himeko.

"Oh no baby. You're fine you just startled mommy. Come here." Himeko said as she kneeled down and held her arms out slightly.

"Mommy not mad at me?" Hayashi asked sadly.

"No Mommy's not mad baby. Come here." Himeko said and smiled at the little one who instantly tackled his mother. And she fell back.

"Yep you're a momma's boy." Kuronue said as he kneeled down beside Himeko and Hayashi.

"Yep Hayashi's my baby boy. Isn't that right Hayashi." Himeko said as she messed up his hair.

"Aw mom…not the hair…" Hayashi whined.

"But you're defiantly like your father." Himeko said and kissed Hayashi on the cheek and sat up with him in her arms.

"Come on Hayashi let's go in side." Himeko said and stood up with Hayashi in her arms and walked into the house.

"She's a great mother. I knew she would be…" Kuronue said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"yeah but so is my mate. she's wonderful with our Rose." Youko said not really paying attention to what Kuronue had said until Kuronue stuck his hands in his pockets.

"Oh Kuronue I'm sorry…I didn't realize what you ment." Youko said and turned to face Kuronue.

"What did I mean?" Kuronue asked and looked at Youko.

"Well you guy's coming in?" Himeko call from the door. And Youko turned back into Kurama.

"Yeah we're coming Himeko." Kurama said and smiled as he watched Himeko walk back into the house.

"she loves Hiei, Kuronue. She thought you were dead. She kept your family hair loom that we stole that night. She even went back to find your pendent but couldn't find it." Kurama said.

"Yeah but she does love Hiei and has two wonderful children…I wonder if I could just stay with her as a friend and watch the children grow up?" Kuronue said more to him self then to Kurama. And started into the house when Hayashi came to the door.

"Godfathers come inside. Mom want's to show Kuro…uhm… Kuro…nue his room…" Hayashi said slightly embarrassed that he could pronounce the name properly.

"Kuronue little one but you can call me Kuro since you can say that." Kuronue said and smiled at Hayashi as he picked the little boy up and walked in to the house with Kurama smiling behind him.

"We're all back together at home. Let's remain together and at home from now on, Hiei, Kurama/Youko, Kuronue, Miroke, father, and Yukina." Himeko said and smiled.

"What about us? What about us?" Hayashi questioned franticly not wanting to be left out.

"Hayashi, Kietia, and Little Rose too. Together at home from now on." Kurama said as he picked up his little Rose and smiled at her.

"Rose love's you daddy." Rose said and put her arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Daddy love's you and Mommy too baby." Kurama said as he hugged her back then kissed her on the cheek.

"Kuronue I want you to be a godfather to my little Rose. It would be a great honor if you would." Kurama said.

"And of course we want you to be a godfather to my two Kuronue." Himeko said as Hiei nodded and wrapped his arms around Himeko.

"I'd be honored to be Hayashi, Kietia, and Rose's godfather." Kuronue said and smiled.
