Thread: Tails Of A Half Breed [YYH] (FavoredFox)

With all the calamity that had been going on in her life recently there was no denying from herself just how good it felt to be back home. The peaceful solitude the secluded temple had to offer was calming. And it surprised her a bit as she realized that she was finally able to breath easy once more. Interesting that being brought back from the dead hadn't had that effect, or even the return trip both circumstances where she already understood that the danger of the tournament had ebbed away. Then again, it gave credence to that whole 'no place like home' saying. And maybe it had more to do with the fact that now all of them, not just her, were out of the woods... figuratively speaking at least. Actually that wasn't entirely true. But she was in the process of rectifying that. So even though the force of the curtain of relief draping itself over her shoulders was just slightly premature, it wouldn't make a difference soon. Of course, no sooner had she allowed some of that calm to seep through dusty old veins, and Kurama was already threatening to churn the feeling by trying to 'politely' fight her on the subject of his healing. Oh come on, you've got to be kidding me. Although to be fair the comment brought about a smirk rather than a frown. Large eyes that had lost their luster for the last time when shed given up her energy orb looked Kurama over skeptically. Don't tell me you're embarrassed or something, she added in that raspy, cheeky tune of hers. It's not like I'm the girls at your school, and PE ended when we left the island. Straightening her stance the woman's hands shifted behind her back in a comfortable, familiar position. I wasn't born yesterday Kurama. Iv'e just about seen it all and then some. A thoughtful tilt hit her eyes and turned them up and away just slightly. And better too, she mumbled with a bit of cheer in that tone. It was entirely possible she'd gotten a nice picture in her head with that change. But it was practically just as likely that she was just screwing with him. She'd gotten pretty close to her former student's ragtag team of ride alongs. Or at least they were all quite a bit closer to her heart anyway. And playful, witty banter was practically a given with her. She liked this poor bloody loser despite the fact that he was allowing blood to seep down into her floor boards more and more the longer he hesitated. You can leave your underwear on if it makes you feel better. But other than that I want you bare. So stop procrastinating and get naked already. A thought crossed her mind as she heard herself finish that small rant. Taken out of context this situation could become a lot more awkward than it might already be. She supposed Kurama was lucky no one else had stuck around closely enough to walk in on this scenario. No one important anyway or rather, who would really care. She couldn't be sure thanks to the slight kick in teeth her spirit awareness and energy had taken over the past few days, but she was almost willing to bet Hiei was hanging around somewhere pretty close. If her inkling was anywhere on track he was probably playing a nice, friendly game of 'tag' in the dark forest just outside the temple walls. If Hiei were to show up she doubted it would be as entertaining as if one of the other two idiots came in. The small creature was much more muted than Yusuke and Kuwabara not to mention socially retarded. In fact, it wouldnt surprise her if the connotations that would send on of them into a fit flew straight over that spikey head. Then again who knew. Maybe Hiei would catch on to the embarrassment if Kurama showed it strongly enough. There was a chance he'd roll with it purely to get a cruel thrill out of it. Although now that she was thinking about it, she'd never really expected Kurama to be the type who was easily embarrassed. And even if he were, he was probably cool headed enough to keep it to himself.
