Kagome smiled in kind to the Demi-God who sat in the chair before her, filling out information on papers in front of him.

"Kagome, you are in trouble again..."

"No more than what I'm used to,"

He shook his head, "Between Yusuke and yourself, I honestly think one of you are trying to kill me."

Kagome laughed, "No, it's nothing like that, it's only..." she pulled on the silver chain around her neck, the jewel coming out from its hiding place beneath her shirt and falling into her hands. "Koenma, the Shikon has been acting strangely since the well closed off."

Koenma glanced up from his stamping and writing, "How so?"

"It sparks at the most random of moments, and it shines brightly during others, but the weirdest part is when it goes between dark purple and bright pink, almost as if battling itself over pure and evil energies."

"Hmm...That is a problem, and it's been drawing more and more demons to Ningenkai as well. I have my team running back and forth all over Tokyo, battling demons ranging from A class to S class. They are getting antsy since they don't know where the demons are all coming from, Makai being the obvious source, but then they wonder why..."

"Tell them about the jewel..." she didn't understand why he wouldn't.

"No, no, not that..." he muttered out in thought.

"...right...not that...but while you think up a solution, demons are breaking through barriers around the Makai and are increasing by the dozens, the only reason why no humans have taken notice is because mostly those with humanoid forms have managed to break through the barriers hold. I can't contain the Shikon's energy much longer...I honestly don't know how I did it before following through the well, but especially now with my powers gone; I can't do anything but create barriers and sense demons. My purification-"

"-was sealed away with your healing abilities once you finished off Naraku and returned to this world. I know, I know...I just...I don't know if I can trust them all with you."

Kagome frowned, "Why not, they are supposed to be your most trusted team of Spirit Warriors, you put the team together specifically, yes?"

Koenma nodded with a tired sigh, "Yes, but Kagome, one of the members was a thief who had tried to steal the Shikon before you were its Guardian, another is not trusting of those he doesn't know...I have no real issue with Yusuke and Kuwabara...but-"

"KOENMA!" Kagome yelled out, she sounded truly disappointed in the toddler.

"What?!"

"You know better than anyone not to judge someone based on their race. Demon, human, whatever...I will trust them."

He flushed red in embarrassment, "If you are placed in their protection, it'll be heard for you to protect yourself from them if they become enamored by the jewel."

"...I will be fine."

Finally conceding, Koenma called for his assistant to come in.

"Is there something you need, Koenma?" a young bubblegum pink eyed, girl with baby blue hair, asked as she entered the room cheerily.

"Yes, actually, Botan; I need you to bring Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara and Kurama here."

Botan gave a nod and left through a portal she had created to the Ningenkai.

Kagome smiled, "So how are they?"

He turned his eyes to Kagome, she was smiling...yes...but at the moment, it didn't reach her eyes. He could recall how she had come to be in his care to begin with. However, the night was one he refused to linger on. "In this time, or..."

"Both," she had simply to ask and he would tell her all that she needed to know, what she needed to hear...

"In Edo, Sango and Miroku have rebuilt the Slayer village, and I do believe he has plans of a proposal soon, I understand that he wishes you were there for moral support." He showed an image on the screen on his wall of two people, one a man with black hair tied back in a dragon's tail, and brown eyes. He stared at a woman with long dark brown hair tied in a low ponytail that fell to her waist and was tied at the bottom. He stood gazing at her as she stared off in the distance.

Kagome gave a sad sigh, "He doesn't need me for moral support, he loves her, and she loves him...besides, I don't belong in that time...I never did."

Koenma said nothing as the image on the screen changed to two kids and a demon lord. "Shippou was taken in by Sesshoumaru, who brought him to his castle with himself and Rin, and has taken to training him. Both keep up in proper study, and he is seeing to it that Shippou is raised with the air of a lord...I honestly worry about that."

Kagome laughed, "Don't, I trust Sesshoumaru above all else, he will protect Shippou, the way he does Rin." She watched as the cold Lord who smiled only for Rin and on a single occasion, once for herself, watched over Rin and Shippou from a distance, leaning against a tree as the two kids ran about a flower field.

The image changed again and it was two wolf demons, "Ayame and Kouga have mated, and from the looks of it, Ayame is pregnant."

Kagome smiled, the two wolf demons were leaning against one another on a lush green hill.

"Then, the old lady Kaede, she's still walking."

Kagome laughed as the image changed to one of the old miko who had been much like a grandmother to her, she was being pulled by the village children. "She'll out live everyone."

Koenma smiled, "Yeah...the elderly have a way of making you feel like they're immortal, don't they." It wasn't a question as he changed the screen, and he watched it happen, he watched her features go from happy to sad and hurt. The very reason he had found her in the first place...was because of the demon on the screen in front of her. "InuYasha hasn't visited anyone, he waits by the well. Kills the demons that get too close to it...to him...he occasionally tries to go through, but the barrier around it refuses to let him through. He hasn't yet learned that Shiori is the one who placed the barrier around the lip of the well to keep him and any other demons from trying to cross to the other side."

Kagome gave a nod; her eyes stared at the image of the half-breed on the screen, they were vacant of all emotions except one, regret... "How about now...is anyone alive?"

"Mm, yes actually...but what would the fun be in just telling you how they were doing?"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Can you tell me who and where to find them?"

"Sesshoumaru, Rin, Shippou, Ayame, Kouga...InuYasha...I can tell you where to find them, but..."

"Tell me!"
