All the little things.

Chapter 10

Keiko Urameshi loved her life, waking up every morning beside the man she loved, his right arm draped stock her seat belting her in place as he slept on his back.

Yusuke was always touching her, they moved with one another reacting like magnets, he moved she moved. They were a strong bonded pair.

Waking up with the weight of his strong arm shielding her from any nightmares that dared to plague his mate.

Hazel eyes blinked at the sleeping man. His face relaxed and peaceful. She loved his arm gently as she tried to sneak out of bed, when his arms coiled around her like a snake.

Giggling she smiled as he snuggled to her neck and huffed.

It was like this every morning.

Rolling to her mate Keiko began an attack of gentle kisses marking every part of his face with her lips.

The childish smile erupted as large Mahogany eyes stared at the woman.

"It's up time."

Grinning like a mad man Yusuke pulled her closer.

"Yeah it is."

Wrapping around his woman Keiko kissed him deeply. Melting into her mate.

Curled around one another in bliss.

Heaving a sigh Keiko caught her breath and smiled. Admiring one another in the afterglow of their embrace. The trill of her cellphone echoed as Keiko tried retracing the small device. Disconnecting from her mate Keiko stood to gather her thin night gown

"Is your phone charged? Kazuma is on his way, and Kurama will be here in an hour."

Keiko called leaving their bedroom for her bathroom. The taps of water across the tile echoed as Keiko began to hum and sing a habit she had picked up after Yusuke returned for her.

It was soothing, loving and warm.

Yusuke loved starting the day off with her voice. Joining her in the warm water Keiko smiled washing her mate like a child.

"The food is almost ready, do you thinks she will like it?"

"Authentic Mexican food what's not to like?"

Scrubbing Yusuke's Hair Keiko sighed as she tried to explain.

"It's better she feels comfortable, Yukina says she hardly eats. I think it would be comforting to have homemade food. If I were in a foreign land with no one that I love. It's what would make me feel better."

Mahogany softened at the words his mate spoke.

Keiko always tried puttering herself in others perspectives. She was kind, caring and had really like Kurama's girlfriend when they met.

Hana was funny charming and kind. The mouth on her was vicious, she made the girls blush on more than one occasion.

She was full of life.

Hana showed Keiko that she didn't have to make herself small, that being bold and brave were how to excel in life.

Rosario had inspired all the woman in their core group.

The ramen shop soon filled with costumers filtering in as Mr. And Mrs. Yukimora began their day. Keiko's parents were kind loving people who adored their son in law.

Having arranged their union since eleventh school.

Watching their daughter grow was wonderful, when Yukina and Kazuma entered bowing.

At the parents.

"Boss."

"Hello!"

Exchanging bows and greetings Mr. Yukimora led the young man to the large party room where Keiko and Yusuke were already perched

"Your shift starts at 10 Kazuma don't forget."

"Of course not, hey Yusuke, come arrange those that Rice mold."

Bowing at his father in law the two men set out the drinks for the occasion. As Yukina approached her friend.

Yukina came from a village of only working and she knew the scent of pregnancy anywhere. Smiling the two women greeted one another.

"Hello."

Vina arrived in jeans and a tank top, a box in hand. Setting it on the table.

"Is she arrived yet?"

"Kurama is bringing her, he has become quite protective of her."

Vina grinned she had some very sexy plans for the birthday girl. Ignoring Yukina's warnings. Witnessing Kurama love Hana was amazing. He doted on her every need.

She hadn't even realized it was her birthday until Yukina wished her happy birthday after getting the young woman ready for the party.

Kurama shared the arrangements Lilliana made. The mother pre planned her daughters birthday. Anticipating they would move on before the day came.

Lilliana left clear notes and instructions, for a special gift to be delivered.

So Hana won't be alone, Yukina admired the woman, she had come across Lillies journals, her last life. It had been open and Yukina had read the entire book.

Yukina wished she could be as half as a good mother as Lilliana was. The love the foresight, Lilliana planned everything accordingly. Kurama controlled every detail.

Green emerald eyes appraised the young woman beside him. Her hair up in a high ponytail. Curled in large ringlets. The pretty heart shaped pleated, hemmed to her silhouette the golden yellow dress covered her knees. 3/4 inch thick long straps tied in a bow.

The panty hose a deep nude and her flats were jeweled with little yellow sunflowers.

Her gray blues stared up at the clouds, the arch of her neck stretched out.

It had taken Yukina quite sometime to convince the young woman to shower and dress for the day.

She had been less sad today. Rosario had dreaded the day feeling so alone. Wallowing in self pity was getting her nowhere.

Not to mention how clingy Suichi was behaving, grabbing the water bottle in the center console Rosario lifted the bottle and tired to open it weakly, she moved the bottle to her teeth and twisted the cap as she took a swig of water.

Shuichi grimaced that would not do well for her teeth. Rosario drank nearly all of the water from her little bottle, the dry ache in her throat momentarily quenched her parched mouth.

Her chest rose as she heaved a sigh and turned to look at the road before them. It was not very busy at the moment.

Kurama drove very swiftly, he liked speed and as he turned the corners the road extended.

Curising at a soothing 55 to get into the district. Their drive quiet and comfortable he couldn't help but feel drawn to the girl. The sudden warmth of her warm slipped between the seatbelt. Sliding between both to clutch the bottom band.

The warmth of her wrist was like hot fire to Shuichi's hip. Rosario didn't bother looking up, absently seeking warmth.

She was always touching or hugging. Seeking solice with the red head. His heart thumped quickly. Pleased to be her warmth.

The gift would be arriving, once dinner was complete. Along with the letter Lilliana wrote for her child.

Once for her brithday, one for graduation. First breakup, marriage, even when she became pregnant. Lilliana foresaw her daughter living her life without a mother and wanted to impart words of wisdom.

Rosario would be quiet surprised, he was unsure how she would feel to be given her gift so publicly. It was rude in Japan to open gifts in front of others. Lilliana left clear instructions she not be alone.

The sun was turning orange when she pulled her hand out.

"Do you have a note book?"

Rosario asked Shuichi opened the glove box and handed Rosario a small note pad math began pouring onto the paper, large complex physics equations.

Luring her ideas onto paper. The pages began to fill front and back as she wanted to utilize everything.

Rosario dove deep into her math, coming all the way to the second to last page before she stopped nodding.

"That was exhausting."

"What has Rosario come up with?"

"A temporal shift in atoms changing the frequency of Time Dimentienal dialations for traveling particles"

Green eyes blinked as she placed the notes in her pocket. Not wanting to elaborate further.

"Are we there?"

"We arrived 20 minutes ago."

Her long dark lashes blinked and she smiled, it was filled with pain. Kurama suddenly felt guilty.

"Ok let's go."

He could hear the shutter in her voice as salt began to rain down her cheeks. Kurama stopped her

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, my face won't stop leaking."

She said wiping her eyes, Rosario had held in so much that she was finally breaking down right before the party.

"Oh now, I'm going to ruin Yukina's makeup."

She dabbed her eyes cleaning her face as she shook her head. In the mirror

"Breath, take a moment."

Kurama

,gave the girl space to vent her emotions. Not wanting to overwhelm her. Rosario cleaned herself up and drank the entire bottle.

"Now I have to pee."

Rosario always said what came to mind. She didn't hold back, she seemed to be herself more lately.

"Let's go I'm already being rude keeping everyone waiting."

She would cry later, in private he would comfort her then. Leading Rosario into the delicious smelling Ramen shop.

Keiko stood and bowed at Rosario who bowed bad and rushed over hugging the queen.

"I love your dress, it's so pretty, I apologize for being late I was doing math."

Keiko blinked recalling their last gathering. Everyone was drunk, and a question had been posed.

How many jars of pickles would it take to fill a boat without sinking.

They had factored in the size of the boat and length, brand and type.

Collectively she concluded it would take no less tha 5,702 ful jars and one jar of exactly 3 and a half pickles.

Medium length no larger.

Keiko loved her mind.

"Did you make your conclusions?"

"Not year."

The birthday girl pouted sadly, knowing the burden of feeling disappointed. Keiko was sweet.

"Let me know what Rosario comes up with."

Beaming in pride Rosario bowed formally.

"I'll keep you updated."

Rosario promised. Keiko would later come to regret her words.

Rosario greeted everyone and paused at the table. Eyes wide in surprise.

"Woah."

She burst into a large smile kneeling down and smiling.

"Is that albondega soup?!"

Rosario sniffed and beamed at Keiko

"You are an absolute goddess Keiko! Yusuke! don't fuck it up."

She pointed warning the idiot who just laughed.

Bowing and greeting Yukina Kazuma Shizuru and Boton even Genkai. Soon an explosion of laughter and excitement spread around as they all sang Karaoke. And drank Saki.

Rosario was happy when a young man entered with a large box.

"I have a gift for Miss. Rosario Blackrose."

Rosario blinked as she received the massive gift. A beautiful little note card with her mothers seal on it.

Turning the card cursive letters began to spill onto its small box.

Happy birthday my little Rose.

Shock flooded her gray eyes and the following sentence morphed from the first.

So you are never alone.

The large box was colored in purple with a black silk bow.

Love mom.

Rosario opened the box to she sounds of two beautiful Mini Dachshund puppies boys.

One black and white dapple, long haired with sparkly blue eyes. And the other long haired black with tan paws. Both were incredibly handsome boys

"Oh my gosh hello babies!"

The puppies rushed into their mothers arms as if expecting her. Rosario kissed the puppies and cried happy tears. Holding them so closely.

The crate, dog bed and blankets were already along with food and two toys.

Rosario was so happy, as all the woman flocked to the puppies.

"I'm going to call you Einstein and you Oppenheimer."

She giggled at the puppies loving themz

The party was a success, and Rosario had so much fun.

Holding her boys Rosario showed them everything outside and gave them pets and kisses.

"Thank you so much Shuichi."

He was surprised but smiled happily, Rosario didn't often call him by his name. He found he enjoyed it very much.

Kurama stopped at a street sign as she paused

"Wait I don't know where we are that sign says Lillyflower."

Rosario turned to Shuichi confused as it looked like the back of her property.

"What happened to the street?"

Shuichi handed Rosario her gift. It was a civil petition to change the street name and have it blessed. Kurama had changed her street name to Lillyflower.

Rosario smiled sniffing and hugged Shuichi then kissed his cheek softly. A electric zing shocked her lips as she pulled back blinking the puppies licked at Shuichi's face as well.

"Come on babies let's go home. We can explore the whole house."

Leading her dogs around Rosaio held them with her at all times. Once inside Rosario went straight to her lab with her puppies. First she ordered more puppy beds and left the little door open so they could go outside to potty.

Kurama watched as Rosario began working on another prototype of her gun ray.

She was always inventing, and tinkering. Shuichi didn't understand her math but he understood she needed to latch onto something to live.

Something small to tether her to this place.

Keiko was sitting in the kitchen with Yusuke both kissing sweetly when the sudden bright energy of a purple portal erupted before her. Out Stepped Rosario in lab equipment and goggles.

"Keiko I have wonderful news! My math worked."

Keiko blinked

"O have created a temperate tear in the time space continuum to alllow me to travel between same planes of existence.

Interdimensional travel. You're welcome."

She said placing down a tray of delicious chocolate chip walnut cookies and bowing back into her portal.

The thing rippled and popped like a bubble.

"That's good right?"

Yusuke questioned as Keiko shrugged

The two puppies loved their new home. It was big, and comfy. With everything they liked.

Their momma who smelled like flowers and their daddy who smelled like roses and foxes was the best.

Daddy walked them all around the grounds while mommy played with them and gave them treats. They hunted for bugs and mice and little critters.

Their walk with their mover around the grounds was alts by a sickly sour scent. A demon. One that smelled foul and was attacking the neighborhood.

The boys waited when it entered their yard and rushed out catching the thing and ripping it apart.

Einstein whined when father came out. Whimpering in pain the Rose smelling man placed his hands on the little dog healing his deep wound.

The pain melted away and the little dog licked at his daddy the rose man.

Both dogs latched onto Kurama with ease when Rosario was pissed
