Risu = Squirrel

Ah.

These were the nice days.

No stalkers.

Well, perhaps...

"Yami-san~!" Kagome flung herself over to the well-built man, wrapping herself around one of his large arms, "I haven't seen you in a while!" She said happily in Japanese.

It was a surprise to learn that Yami came from a place that could be the equivalent to her world's Japan – so in other words, they pretty much grew up with the same culture (but minus the whole magic and grimoire thing for Kagome's word).

"Oi," Yami huffed, looking somewhat annoyed that the tiny little girl who had two royals wrapped around her fingers was wasting her time with him, "I don't need any healing. So scurry along back, Risu, to your–" He immediately stopped when Kagome's fingers tightened alarmingly into his skin.

"Surely you cannot be that inconsiderate?" Kagome looked up with a serene smile, but Yami stiffened at the sight of it and shudders ran throughout his body, "You are the only person I can talk to in my own language in this entire kingdom and you would rather have me go back to those royals who can't take a hint?"

"Ah..." Yami sighed, "Calm down, Risu. If they are bothering you so much, why not just give them a good punch or two? A kick? Don't you have a katana? Just beat the shit out of them and they'll get it."

Kagome scratched her hair, "I don't think it works like that. They are royals and I'm just an outsider." She shrugged, smiling as her native words slipped off her tongue for the first time in a while.

"Do you really think the Wizard King would let you go?" Yami's brow rose and he scoffed, "He wouldn't let you go even if all the kingdoms invaded us all at once!"

"Would you protect me?" Kagome smiled innocently, staring at Yami intently as he glanced at her lazily and finally shrugged and that's all she needed.

"Since Sesshoumaru can't fill that role here, Yami-san will have to take over for now," Kagome's eyes sparkled and Yami took a step back, wondering what the hell he just signed up for, "From now on, Yami-san is now my Onii-san!"

Ah, fucking hell...
