(her ears are actually blue and they are out right now XP )

Kitsune looked at him then looked back smiled and nodded. "I didn't either... I wouldn't have left though I found out a few days later when I found that I couldn't shift... she's a year... almost, she'll be a year in three days. I... I would have come back though I needed to take care of some unfinished business. I had to go ahead and name her also... her names Koinu... I hope you like it... I tell her allot about you." she smiled slightly as she finally pulled away from him and went over to the child and gathered her into her arms and walked back over to Angel to show him their daughter.

"She is beautiful, and I love the name." he said. "She looks a lot like you." he noticed. "Can I hold her?" he asked her. He hoped that she heard good things about him, he would be the best father possible. "Oh, I did find a job while you were away, I train the new soldiers in the nearby military." he told his wife. "It pays well and it helps with getting better at fighting, and I need to know that to protect my family and friends. Trish is somewhere around here, she's missed you too." he statrted rambling and stopped blushing. He wanted to fill her in on what happened when she was here but he could wait until later.

"Of course love." Kitsune smiled as she shifted the little girl a bit and handed her to Angel some "I know she doesn't look like she's one though shifters and half breads grow real fast ya know." she said softly and smiled some then laughed some as he blushed. "I've missed you both and I'm glad that you could find a job that you enjoy... it doesn't keep you away often does it?" she asked hoping that it didn't... she didn't really want him to leave her for a little bit though she knew if he had a job then he would have to.

"They call me and it only takes a week at the most to train the new soldiers, and they pay me every minute i'm there and give me money if I need it when I'm not working, the cabin is finished up, and is nicer actually." He held her like he was showed to awhile ago, making sure he had a good grip on her. He liked the warmth of his babies touch. He couldn't stop a tear from falling, he had experienced a new feeling, a father's love for his child. "I told that punk awhile ago that we would make our child survive." Angel said softly to Kitsune. "It was him." He didn't want to leave, if they called him, he'd bring them with him so they can see him work, they might enjoy it. "You know, I really missed you." he said. He felt if he said anymore he'd start sobbing. "I'm not letting you go that long again, if you need to I will go with you."

"It wasn't him that caused them to die... I actually should have just let him kill the others... I hated watching them die like that"Kitsune said softly and moved to hug her husband looking at their daughter in his arms. "When I first saw the color of her hair... I felt like crying... it reminded me so much of you and how she acted sometimes and her curiosity... allot of stuff reminded me of you... I don't think that I could ever leave you like that ever again... I missed you too much." she whispered softly and kissed his cheek softly. How about we go home before she wakes up?" she suggested softly as she smiled some at her love and kissed his cheek again. "I think I could get her to sleep tonight so we could have some time alone... I've really missed that you know" she smiled some wanting so much to have her lover again after so long without him... she really missed him having his way with her.

"I would love that." he said kissing her. "Lets get her home then, and she can meet Aunty Trish." he was excited about this. Trish has been such a good friend to him and he wanted her to see his child. He made sure he didn't drop his sword out of it's sheath. "I guess this means we'll need a bed for her and something to hang my swords and stuff like that on the wall." he was so happy right now. He wrapped an arm around Kitsune supporting his daughter with his other, not worrying about dropping her, he was strong enough not too. "She's heavy, but it's a nice weight, she seems healthy, you've been doing a good job with her." Maybe it was the cross that created unhealthy babies the first time, his daughter is so healthy.

"Don't worry about the weapons and childproofing... she knows what she can and can't touch... remember love we were living in the forest where I had nowhere to put my weapons... so I taught her what she could and couldn't do so she wouldn't get hurt." Kitsune grinned some as they started walking and she couldn't wait to get home.

He smiled and walked toward home. He wanted to show her the improvements he made. When he got there Trish Ran from the cabin and greeted Kitsune with a hug. "Where the hell have you been?" she said happily. "It's good to have you back." Trish had developed a good friendship with her and missed her almost as much as Angel had.

Kitsune smiled and hugged Trish back tightly. "I went to take care of a few things... I think I should tell you both now... we don't have to worry about Haren or that other guy anymore... I went and killed them both and made sure that they would stay dead." she said then smiled and hugged Trish again. "Ow Trish, this is mine and Angel's little girl... I left before I knew I was pregnant... if I knew I wouldn't have left, her name's Koinu... She'll be a year in three days." she said softly as she gestured to her daughter in her husbands arms and smiled some.

"We doubt that Thomas did that to you and Trish." angel said. "Since we got your note we've been looking for him in town and even out of town and we haven't seen him, we want to give him a chance to talk, now that I'm thinking clearly, I do want to know how did that, so that I can kill him." He hoped he didn't startle his daughter awake. "Would you happen to know where he might be, we moved his stuff when we moved the stuff to the cabin, it's in Trish's room but we haven't seen him." Trish looked at Angel and looked at him happily, she saw life in his eyes that she hadn't seen for a long time.

(They don't know that it wasn't Thomass remember? They think it might not have been though they don't find out until we have his brother and him show up in a big fight XP )

((I know, they want to let him talk, they find it strange that he would, they doubt that he did oops used the wrong word))

"I'm sorry love even if it was him... I would have to say that I wouldn't let you kill him. I highly highly doubt that it was him and if it was there was something very wrong with him that day... I'm not sure where he is... I looked for him before I did anything else though couldn't find him." Kitsune said softly then looked at their daughter and sighed. "Let's take her inside then try and figure this out... we've been moving all day so I think she'll stay asleep for awhile while we go out." she said softly to them and hoped that they could figure this out so her friend wouldn't be hated and feared anymore.

"We should." he agreed. "I'm not talking about killing him, but when I find out Im right to doubt that Thomas did it, I will kill who did." he said. "And want me friend back, even if he was wrong in the head and somehow he did do it, I want to know what happened." He really wanted to clear this up. They walked inside, and Trish shut the door. Angel sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to hmi softly, for Kitsune to sit and relax. Trish sat in the chair next to the couch.

Kitsune nodded and fallowed looking around when they got into the house and smiled. "It's very lovely... you did a really good job love." she said softly smiling at her love then looked at their daughter slightly surprised when she heard her yawn and start to wake up.

Angel looked surprizedly at his daughter as she started to wake up, he didn't know how she'd react to him not seing him for her year of life.

Slowly Koinu opened her big golden eyes and looked up then over to her mother then back to Angel and smiled some. "Daddy?" she said in a cute squeaky voice and Kitsune smiled happily at this glad that she had remembered the picture that she had shown her every time she talked to her about Angel.

Angel smiled happily. "Yes, it's me." he said to her. He noticed the color of her eyes and found them to be quite adorable. "Your mom has told you about me i hear."

"Uh hu, an she towd me we werwe coming to see you and stay hewe" Koinu smiled some and moved so she could hug him happily not seeming worried at all by just now meeting him like most children would be. It seemed she was VERY advanced for her age and that she was more like what she looked like then what she was... she was only one though she looked three.

He hugged her back. "I'm very happy to meet you my darling, and we will stay here, this is my friend Trish, you can look at her as an Aunt, she is very nice." he intorduced Trish to his daughter. "We are a complete family now, you won't be moving around anymore. I will always be here with you."

Koinu looked at him and smiled happily liking the thought of not having to move anymore and actually having a really place to live in and sleep. She then looked at Trish and smiled at her some waving one of her small hands at her. "Hi" she smiled and Kitsune laughed slightly at how cute her daughter was.

"Hey little one." Trish said. She found ANgels daughter sooooooo cute. Angel knew he'd have to fend pf the boys soon, the ones that didn't care about the fact that a bounty could be put on her head. This realization hit him hard. What if there was one placed on his daughter, he couldn't stand that. His looked to Kitsune and asked Trish if she wanted to hold Koinu. "I'd love to." Trish answered and took Koinu gently away from him. "I have to talk to your mom in private for a bit. He gestured to their room and walked in.

Koinu looked at Trish and smiled then looked to her father as he handed her to Trish and pouted some though didn't make any attempts to get down or protest.

"Yes love?" Kitsune asked softly as they got to their room and she wondered some what he wanted to talk about... what was bothering him? She could just feel that something was bothering him... but what? He had his wife back... and a little girl... what could possibly be bothering him?

He let his full worry show. "What if there's a bounty put on Koinu, the organization is sure to know about her by now, what if......" he couldn't speak, he had went over to his wife and hugged her tightly. "I can't lose my family, I can't lose either of you, I just got you back, and just got Koinu."

"No one knows about her yet... no one knows that I'm alive yet... I killed Haren and that jerk with him... no one else was around and no one knew until we were long gone.... no one knows I'm alive at all love and they won't take the child or a hunter.... hunters sometimes save those child targets remember? They won't take her" Kitsune said softly and reassuringly as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him softly on the lips hoping to calm him some.
