Disclaimer-I don't own anything.

Well what do you know, its story time! This is an AU fic, but don't worry it will have a plot, and most of the original characters in both series. Sometimes the original cannon pairings can get boring, and so can the regular clichés, so this time I'm not adding either. Usually you don't see many Kurama/ Sango pairings, but if you do see them, it isn't their perspective that's being told. So this is a full Kurama/ Sango, and yes its also AU. It would be harder to word with it if were Original Universe. I think all crossovers have to have a bit of AU anyways.

About a week ago, we were given a request to write this story. So write it we shall. And I must thank the person who requested it, because it inspired me to write another fic. Lol, now I'll never get to our other ones! J/k.

Anyways,

This is for Lady Lightbulb.

Adding Spice

There she sat, as silent as the tree she was leaning up against. Her eyes were half closed, but he could see that she was watching her surroundings intently, waiting. Her brown hair was held up high in a ponytail, flowing gently with the light breeze. He was fascinated with it, just watching it as it danced around with the wind. She hadn't even realized that he was watching her either, so for the moment, he congratulated himself.

She was looking at the nearby basketball court, watching as three small boys held a competition. It baffled him on how there can be a game with just three people. His thoughts then turned to the woman by the tree. Another woman approached and sat down near her. The new arrival had long black hair, completely free of bindings.

He watched as the object of his attentions opened her cinnamon eyes fully. Her eyes were shaded by a small amount of pink eye-shadow, but it clashed wonderfully, bringing out the brown color.

He decided that watching her from afar wasn't doing any good. After all, he was a reasonably attractive man. Why would he have to just think about the girl, when he could approach her? He had been watching her for several days now. Not in the stalker type of way, but just observing. She came here at least twice a week with the boys in tow. After a quick game, the other women would appear. He was beginning to memorize the pattern.

So, today he would introduce himself. He decided it was time to put a name to the face that was beginning to haunt him. The rational part of him told him it was better this way. He shouldn't even think about bringing another into his dangerous life. He didn't want to endanger the woman, but it was driving him mad just watching her.

He got up from his bench and walked over to them. They were chatting happily so they didn't notice him. He sat down next to them. The brown haired woman jumped a bit, startled. His green eyes lit up in amusement.

"Please forgive me, I didn't intend to scare you." He told her softly. "I just couldn't help but notice you, care to share your name?"

Her eyes widened, it must have been at his long red hair. She envied it. "Oh? Yes, sorry. Sango." She said, and pointed her thumb at her companion, "This is my friend Kagome. Your name is…?"

"Shuichi Minamino, but you may call me Kurama." The red-head nodded. At least that had gone easy enough. He was about to speak some more, but another woman came into view. This one had long black hair that was tied in a loose ponytail at the ends. She looked a few years older than the two he was sitting next to.

"Kikyou!" Kagome exclaimed, "It's about time you showed up. The game's just about to start."

"It's a good thing I'm here now. Shippou would be an absolute demon at home if I were to miss it." She laughed lightly.

Kurama looked at the two. They were so much alike, it was amazing. They could have passed for twins. Their eyes told the difference, Kagome had blue, and Kikyou had a dark brown. Kikyou was also a bit paler than Kagome, more fragile looking.

Kikyou noticed him observing her, "And who might you be?" she asked.

Sango beat him to the answer, "His name is Kurama. He just surprised us by sitting down."

"Are you going to watch the game too?" Kikyou asked him.

"Who are the players?"

Kagome smiled brightly. "Here's the thing, at least once I week, we all come for a little basketball game. It does the kids good, fresh air, exercise, friends. It looks like its doing us good too, after all, we get to meet new guys." She winked at Sango, "The three players are Souta, Kohaku, and Shippou. Souta is the middle kid over there, short brown hair, brown eyes, white shirt and red shorts. You see him?"

Kurama nodded.

"Souta is mykid brother. The oldest one there is Kohaku, he's the one with brown hair in a ponytail, he's also the oldest. Kohaku is Sango's younger brother. Then the smallest one, with tan hair is Shippou, the youngest of the group. He's Kikyou's son." Kagome explained. "If you know what's good for you, you'll root for Souta." She teased.

Kurama thought a moment. The smallest one was Kikyou's son? Wasn't she a bit young to be having children? Then he noticed the gold band on Kikyou's left ring finger. So that explains it.

"I don't know why we always have these bets, Kohaku always wins." Sango grinned.

"It's because he's the tallest." Kagome reasoned, "Its nice that Kohaku always wins, that way Sango here always has to treat us to lunch."

Kurama laughed, "So that's how it is? Winner gets to pick up the tab?"

Kagome winked, "You bet! Good thing too, if I had to pay for our lunch once a week, I'd be so broke."

Sango blew a stray bang out of her face, "It isn't that bad, its not like you guys eat a lot. Its only when Kikyou's husband comes along, does it get expensive." She explained to Kurama. "You see, Inuyasha has the biggest appetite for ramen. I honestly don't know how Kikyou gets him to eat anything else."

Kikyou looked contemplative for a moment, not fully at ease with the newcomer. "If you'll excuse me for a moment, I'd like a word with Sango in private."

She pulled Sango aside, "Who is he?"

Sango bit her lip, "I'm not sure, he just sat down next to us."

"Do you really think we should be sharing such information with people you've just met?" she asked with an edge to her tone.

"Oh don't tell me you find him threatening."

"I don't, its just, something about him is odd. Why would he just…?" Kikyou's question was cut off by her phone ringing. "Hello?"

Sango crossed her arms, was Kikyou able to go anywhere without her husband checking up on her? Sometimes Inuyasha was as protective as a dog, though the same could be said about Kagome's significant other. Sango really didn't see what Kagome saw in him, but as long as her friend was happy, all was well.

Right on cue, she could hear Kagome's cell ringing also. Sango went back to the tree to sit next to Kurama. "Forgive my friends, they can be a bit over-protective." She told him, a bit annoyed.

"It isn't a problem. I know people like that as well, it doesn't bother me." He reassured her.

Kagome came back to the group, smiling sheepishly. "Looks like we're getting another member for an audience."

Sango groaned, not him. They had dated in high-school, but when she realized that he and Kagome had feelings for each other, she let it go. It was still a bit uncomfortable being with them though. She was over him, but his habits tended to get to her sometimes.

Kurama watched this with amusement. There was going to be conflict soon. This was interesting. He was suddenly very glad he had introduced himself. Now he was insured that a boring day was out of the question.

Kikyou then returned as well. Sango raised her eyebrows, "Inu isn't…?"

The older woman laughed, "He wouldn't ruin my day off. Besides, I didn't think you'd want to bankrupt yourself so soon in the season."

It was like Kurama wasn't even there. He didn't mind as much as he thought he would. He did feel a little guilty, this was obviously a girls outing. He felt as if he were intruding. Intruding and being ignored. Funny, that had never happened before.

Kurama stood, "Perhaps I should leave…"

Sango pulled his arm so he was sitting down again. "Nonsense, the game's barely starting." Her cinnamon eyes dancing with mirth.

He agreed for the moment, sitting down watching as the kids fought over the orange ball. Occasionally one would make a basket, getting the appropriate girl to whistle and shout small cheers.

It wasn't long before a male figure came up. His black hair was held back in a small ponytail, and he was wearing a long, dark purple coat. He noticed that his eyes were almost identical to the color of his coat. The man had two earrings in his left ear, and one in his right. All together he was an attractive guy. The girls were so into the game they didn't see him coming.

He silently walked behind Kagome, raising an eyebrow at the stranger. He shrugged his shoulders. Then he knelt down and put his hands over Kagome's eyes. "My kind lady, would you consider having my children?" he whispered in her ear.

Kagome huffed and crossed her arms. "Depends," she told him, his hands still covering her eyes, "Are you going to be a lecher your whole life?"

He laughed, letting his hands fall, "You wouldn't have me any other way."

Kagome's eyes didn't move from the court. "No, but I suppose we'll have to break your hands of your groping habit. Or break your hands, either works."

"My dear Kagome, you wound me." He laughed. "I'll allow you to make it up to me."

Kagome hummed, turning around to glare at him. "The only thing I'll be doing, Mirouku, is watching the basketball game. You're interrupting it, now hush." She put a finger on his lips and turned back around.

Mirouku shook his head, he knew better then to intrude on their day, but he couldn't help himself sometimes. He settled himself behind Kagome, with her between his legs, restingher back against his chest. He looked over at the red-haired stranger. "Forgive me, we haven't been introduced."

"Shuichi, or Kurama, whichever you prefer to call me would do fine." He told him plainly.

"Kurama?" Mirouku asked, "That's a strange nickname."

Kurama laughed nervously, "It's a long story, perhaps I can explain it another time."

Mirouku nodded, "We all have things we aren't proud of. Very well, its custom to give your name when you've received the other. I am Mirouku."

"I've gathered as much." Kurama told him.

"Will you boys shut up and watch the game?" Sango said, still not looking away.

"Competitive?" Kurama whispered to Mirouku.

His answer, "Just a tad."

………………………………………..

Well that seems like a good place to end the chapter. I'm sorry for all you Kikyou haters. I don't really have an opinion on her. I think that she's a very in-depth character, and very mysterious. I don't think she's evil, she's just very resentful. While she was alive, she was extremely kind.

Remember, this is an AU fic. I'm sorry if its not all gushy romance quite yet, but they just met remember? It needs to be developed, and developed it will be. Just give me a bit lol.
