"WAH!"
Keiko sighed as she comforted the baby, again."Don't cry, little one, don't cry. Everything is ok." The baby's cries soon turned to whimpers as Keiko continued to whisper comforting words. Soon it stopped all together.
"Oh, little one, why do you cry so much?" Keiko asked the infant softly. It sniffled in response. "You miss your father, don't you?," the baby squirmed,"Don't worry, he'll come back."
"Mom?"
Keiko looked down at the girl tugging on her skirt."Yes Yume? What's wrong?" The girl hugged the teddy bear she held. "When is dad and Uncle Kurama and Kuwabara going to come back?" The baby in Keiko's arms squirmed at the name of her father. Keiko shooked her head."I don't know baby. But they'll come back don't worry." Yume nodded and looked at the baby in her mother's arms."I bet Kurai misses Uncle Kurama, mom. Don't ya Kurai? You miss your daddy?" Kurai gurggled.
"See mom! I told you."
Keiko nodded."Yes you were right Yume. Now go back to sleep sweetie." Yume pouted."I don't wanna go back ta sleep! How come Kurai get's to stay up and I can't?" she demanded.
"Sweetie, Kurai wakes up in the middle of the night, like all babies do. You're a big girl and you need to sleep."
"Why do babies wake up in the night mom?" Yume asked, cocking her head to the side."I don't know sweetie, they just do." Kurai squirmed in Keiko's arms again. Yume wagged her finger at the infant, scolding her."Naughty Kurai. Stay asleep so my mom can sleep more." Kurai watched the girl's finger and tried to grab it. Yume pouted at the baby, she didn't understand that she was being scolded.
"Babies," Yume sighed. Keiko smiled at her daughter until she saw what time it was."Yume, please, go to bed." Yume frowned,"But mom-"
"Yume go to bed. Or no T.V for a week." Yume ran out of the room towards her own."Night mom!" she yelled over her shoulder."Good night Yume." Kurai laughed when Yume ran out of the room.
"Now to get you to bed," Keiko said to the little baby.
Kurai smiled, showing of her newly grown fangs.
~*~
Yume laughed at the image in the living room. Keiko was sprawled on the couch, her clothes and hair were messed up beyond belief. And little Kurai was on the floor pouring a tub of her baby formula over her head. She laughed as the powder made a small cloud turning her, and her silver hair, completely white.
Yume rolled her eyes. Good thing its Sunday, she thought. She walked over to the small chibi and picked her up."Look at how dirty you are Kurai and look at what you did to mom." Kurai gurggled, happy that Yume had picked her up."You're proud of what you did, aren't you?" Kurai sneezed, causing another cloud of powder. "I supposed I should clean you first."
Kurai sneezed again.
~*~
A lone figure walked down the streets. His clothes were torn and tattered. His hair, no longer greased, fell to one side of his head and stood up on the other.
"I need a bath," he declared.
~*~
"Kurai stop splashing!"
The baby continued to splash, ignoring the older girl. Yume groaned."Why me?" Another wave of water hit her in the face, followed by Kurai's hysterical laughter. Yume glared at the baby."No throwing water Kurai!" Kurai giggled, oblivious of Yume's glare.
Yume sighed."This is the last time I'm going to bathe you."
Kurai splashed more.
~*~
The figure walked up to the door. He reached into his pockets and took out a pair of keys. He smiled as he heard the lock click open. He threw open the door and cried,"I'm home!"
~*~
Yume carried a now clean, dry and dressed Kurai to the living room. Yume had to change to new clothes since Kurai had gotten her's all wet. The baby was now very tired and rested her head against the girl's shoulder. Yume couldn't help but smile as Kurai's small fox ears drooped down to her head, her tail curled around the baby's waist, and her fangs glistened as the baby yawned.
"Tired Kurai?" Yume asked softly. Kurai yawned and curled into her arms, her head resting against her chest. Yume had to fight the urge to sqeal how cute the little fox was.
Yume set Kurai in her play pen, just as Keiko started waking up. She was just about to ask her daughter something when the door bursted open. The two girls gasped and Kurai was heard whining.
The figure at the door smirked as he opened his arms for a hug and cried,"I'm home!" Yume and Keiko stood there in shock as they made out the man's face. His hair wasn't greased up and his brown eyes seemed to laugh with joy at his arrival.
"Are you just going to stand there are you two going to give me a hug?" he asked. Yume was the first to break out her trance and ran to her father."Dad!! You're home!!" she cried as she hugged her father. Yusuke laughed and patted her head."Yup. I'm a little hungry and dirty but otherwise fine." Keiko ran to her husband and kissed him.
"Oh Yusuke, I'm so glad you're home."
"Glad to be back, Keiko."
Yume let go of her father and stared at him confused."Dad, where's Uncle Kurama? Wasn't he supposed to back with you?" Yusuke looked down, his face serious, but his eyes were in pain."He.... didn't make it."
Keiko and Yume gasped."What about Kurai? Who's going to take care of her?" Yume asked, and glanced at the little fox curled on a pillow sleeping. Kurai was sucking thumb as she clutched her silver tail. Yusuke glanced at the baby and then at Keiko. Keiko nodded, knowing what he was going to ask.
"We are," Yusuke said."Kurama left her with us so we're going to take care of her." Yume sighed, relieved that they din't have to give the little girl away.
Yusuke walked over to the play pen and looked down at the chibi kitsune. Her small silver ears twitched and seemed to be on alert for danger. She clutched her tail and sucked on her thumb, curled on a pillow. Yusuke reached down and covered her with the blue blanket with little carrots on it.
~Kurama, I promise that I will take good care of Kurai. Please watch out for her when I can't, my friend.~
Kurai squirmed, almost as if she heard Yusuke's thoughts."She looks alot like him," Yusuke said. Keiko nodded."Yes she does. And she's probably just as powerful." Yusuke laughed."I hope so. Then she could help me and Kuwabara on our cases."
Yume pouted."And what about me? I could help you too." Yusuke smirked at his daughter. She looked exactly like him except her hair was longer than his."Of course you can. Just try to explain that to Koenma." Yume smirked at her father."I think he will agree. He needs the help anyway."
"That's for sure," Yusuke laughed.
Keiko huffed."My daughter is not going to follow in her father's foot steps. She is going to get an education and become something that can really help people. Understand?" she said it all in tone that could not be argued with. Yusuke and Yume sweatdropped and nodded their heads."Yes." Keiko smiled."Now that that's settled, who wants lunch?" Yusuke chuckled."I'm going to go take a bath first."
"Ok honey. Save you some food."
"Thanks," Yusuke called over his shoulder as he headed towards the bathroom. Yume plopped herself on the couch and turned on the T.V while Keiko went to the kitchen. She changed it to a cartoon, after all she's only ten. She kept glanceing at the play pen with the little fox. Half expecting her to wake, the other half expecting Kurama to come in and take her home. Neither happened, the little fox still slept in her play pen and the door never opened.
Yume sighed and continued to watch her show.

I think that went pretty good. Right?
