Meeting familiar faces and falling in love, Twice
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Yu Yu Hakusho characters or Inuyasha characters. This is a story I made for the enjoment of others, and I am not making money off of it
Koenma walked into his office, stressed out. Today was a very hectic day, for it was the day he had returned from the demon tournament, and not only were there mounds of paperwork, but he had to deal with Toguro and his father as well, and his day was not going well at all. He walked over to his chair ready to plop down in it and relax for a while, and then he noticed that there was someone in his chair. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Jorge! Get in here and get this stranger out of my chair!"
The stranger looked sad, "You don't recognize me? Really? I'm crushed." The chair turned into full view and when Koenma saw who was sitting in the chair, he paled considerably. The last time this person was here, she blew the castle inside out to ruins, and parts of the castle were still under repairs. Jorge rushed in, almost tripping, and skidded to a stop when he saw who it was sitting in the chair. That was when Botan made her appearance, coming to give a report, and she also froze, and she became almost as pale as Koenma.
They stood there, terrified, when a portal opened and out came the spirit detectives. Yusuke called out, "Hey toddler! Who's the chick?" Koenma snapped out of his trance and yelled, "You idiot! Show her some respect! This is my sister, and the most powerful on n in the spirit world beside my father! She could beat the Spirit team, our last resort, with her hands tied behind her back!" Yusuke scoffed, "She isn't that strong, her spirit energy is lower than Kuwabara's!" For once Kuwabara ignored the comment, probably to mesmerized my the lady in the chair. The girl laughed, "oh really? And I guess you are Yusuke Urameshi, the one who died and the kid came out with one less scratch than he should have?" She laughed, and Yusuke grumbled, "Shut up!"
The girl stopped laughing and said, "So, you think me weak? Would you like to go one on one?" Yusuke nodded, eager to show this chic he was stronger, besides, he beat Toguro, and surely he could beat a girl! The girl walked out of the room and everyone followed. Finally, after several minutes of walking through the palace, she stopped and opened a door, revealing an empty arena. Stepping inside, she waited for the others. Yusuke stepped up to her and stood there with his arms crossed, giving her the first move.
The others stepped back from the pair and watched as the match progressed. Koenma, Botan, and Jorge already knew who would win. Yusuke stood, waiting for the girl to attack. He didn't see it coming. One moment she was standing 10 feet away from him, the next, he was flying into the wall, her fists out, punching him in the gut. He landed on the other end of the arena and crashed into the wall, leaving a giant crater in the stands where he landed. Apparently the punch was rather critical, for he collapsed on the ground in one punch. Everyone but her brother, Botan, and Jorge were amazed, even though Hiei did his best to hide it, it didn't work that well.
Yusuke regained consciousness rather quickly and gaped like a fish and asked, "Who are you?" The girl emotionlessly said, "Kagome, Kagome Higurashi." Yusuke and the others nodded and everyone properly introduced themselves. After the introductions ended, in which Kagome didn't pay much attention to, she turned her back when suddenly she felt an entirely new aura, one she sworn she had sensed before, years ago. She turned around and the new person chuckled, "Hello Kagome."

"Hello Kagome." Now it was my turn to stare, it was Youko Kurama, my old friend! I stuttered, "You died!" He chuckled, "No, I merely transported my spirit into the human called Suichi Minimino. I missed you. Where have you been?" He came up and hugged me, much to the surprise of everyone else. "I missed you too Youko." I hugged him right back, and Koenma fainted, making Yusuke laugh, Botan and Jorge worried, Hiei bored, and Kuwabara dumbstruck. Koenma regained consciousness rather quickly and asked, "How do you know the most perverted, twisted kitsune fox in the Makai world?" He asked.
"One, I met him 500 years ago, two, there was no Makai, three, he isn't that bad, he has a soft side, and four, he is my best friend, so don't you dare talk to him bad ever, or I will purify you, that goes for everyone!" Hiei backed away faster than the others, getting the message rather quickly. The others took about a second longer. No one had really tested to see if a human could be purified by a rather pissed off miko, and none of them wanted to be the test subjects.
Youko chuckled at me and said, "Calm down. We can't have you purifying anyone. Besides, you might hit me." That got my attention. "Why would I want to purify you?" I questioned. "You wouldn't but if you get really pissed off then you might not be able to control your powers and end up hitting someone important, like me." He leaned closer and I blushed. I turned back around and started to exit the now damaged arena and Youko followed me, while everyone else stayed behind. Once we left, and arrived back in Koenma's office, Youko asked me the one question I had wanted to avoid all night, "So, why are you back from the Feudal Era?"
I sighed, and braced myself, "Well, you see. It was the final battle with Naraku. You rmember him, right?" After he gave me a confirmative nod, I continued, "It was the last battle, and I was trying to not go full out, otherwise I could kill every demon around me, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru included, so I had to stick with my bow and arrows. Anyway, Naraku had attacked Sango and Miroku with his tentacles and the poison killed them," I started to cry, but continued, "And then Naraku killed Shippo. He then turned to me with an evil look in his eyes and grabbed me and started to try to sqeeze me to death, apparently. Well, it didn't have an effect, but Inuyasha thought it did, so he rushed in to save me and he was cut down too. At this point Sesshomaru had vanished, where too, I don't know, so I ran back here."
Now, at the end of the story, tears were streaming down my face. "Why did they have to die?" I sobbed. Youko came up to me and put me in his warm embrace, calming me down. He waited patiently for 10 minutes before I could speak again, and he said, "It's okay Kagome. Don't worry, I'll protect you no matter what." That made me laugh, "Why would I need protecting?" He said, "Yes, you are stronger than me, but naraku is still alive, and he might capture you and put you in a positon where you can't attack him." I nodded, that logic seemed reasonable.
I was exausted, today was the final battle with Naraku, and my friends died, and I saw Youko again, whom I met in the Feaudal Era, so I needed to sleep. Youko saw how tired I was so he sat down, me collapsing mext to him, and let me lean on his shoulder. I smiled slightly, glad to have him back, and fell into a deep sleep.

A few minutes after Kagome fell asleep on my shoulder, the rest of the gang, Botan, and Jorge came into the room and saw Kagome lying on my shoulder. Koenma looked at me and said, "When are you going to give control to Kurama again?" I replied, "Not now at least. she wants me at the moment, and is rather tired and stressed out, and Kurama agrees with me to let me be in control for a while." Koenma nodded but looked downstruck, obviously not wanting his sister to be in contact with me, the infamous thief Youko Kurama.
I stayed next to Kagome while Yusuke turned to koenma, "So, got any more missions for us?" Koenma nodded, "Yes actually. There has been a sighting of a demon in the human realm, and I need you to go to the demon and either bring him back to Makai if he cooperates, or kill him if he doesn't. I didn't pay any attention to the res of it, the dmeon was probably just a low class who even Kuwabara could kill in his sleep. *Don't think Kuwabara is weak just because he isn't as strong as us.* Kurama thought to me. I thought back, 'Yeah, but he is the weakest of all of us, and he should never show his weaknesses as easily as he does, and he also needs to get over Yukina, she obviously doesn' like him like that!' Kurama agreed and sunk back to the back of my/our mind and rested, not bothering me anymore
i looked at Kagome's sleeping form. I had missed her so much. I hadn't seen her in 500 years, ever since I had to leave her to go lead that stupid gang of thieves! I meant what I said earlier, i would protect herm, even on the cost of my own life. She was my best friend, right along side with Kuronue, even though he was dead. Kagome was the only one I had left that I cared about, ever since Kuronue died. I was sitting there in contintment, and started to purr. All of a sudden Koenma yelled out, "Youko, I need you to go meet the others! That demon is too strong for them to handle!" I asked, "What kind of demon?"
Koenma replied, "They can't tell, get over there!" I shook Kagome awake and said, "Kagome, i have to go. I'll be back. The others need my help." she looked groggy but said, not aasking, "I am coming with you." I nodded and Koenma made us a portsl to where the others were. I pulled out my rose whip and saw the others losing against a demon clad in purple with a purple torn hat and long hair, twirling a pendant. Both Kagome and I froze. Out of pure will power, I whispered, shocked, "Kuronue?"
