Chapter 1
Kagome and Shippo both climbed into the taxi that would take them to the airport. They where sent on yet another mission by Lord Neko, and where to meet up with three other members of Lord Koenma's team there, then meet up with the others later on.
Kagome let out a heavy sigh as she looked out the taxi cab's window, lost in a small daze.
"Is something wrong, Okaa-san?" Shippo asked from next to Kagome, looking at her a tad worried.
Kagome looked over at the young man that sat next to her. His long thick wavy orange-red hair was pulled back at the nip of his neck and his eyes where bright green and filled with youth, making him look like he was in his late teens and yet he was nearly five hundred years in age. Beating her, who she was only twenty three. She would always look at him with a smile that only a mother would give to her child, and that was what he was to her. She took him as her adoptive son when he was young, and when she was still able to travel back five hundred years into the past. Now she gave him a small smile, tired, worn and stressed these days. But she was to happy not to smile every time she saw him.
That day when she had to leave him tore at her heart, she had to leave him behind in the past as she traveled one last time through the well to her time, to never return. But in doing so she had gained the power of immortality and is now the permanent protector of the sacred jewel that was now back in her body where it belonged and could live a long life with her son, now that she was reunited with him. That day when she was first called to Lord Neko's office, to serve her term for bursting the sacred jewel in the first place, she meet Shippo there, all grown up and handsome as could be.
Kagome also meet up with Sesshomaru there, who had promised to take care of Shippo while she was gone, and he to have grown a little, but still looked the same, but he didn't seem to be as cold hearted as he used to be. He kind of had a kinder look to that cold emotionless mask he wore. And while she had worked with him, she saw that and now looked to him as if he was an older brother, someone to talk to when something was confusing her and someone to look to in times of need. Sesshomaru still owned the western lands, but only in the Makai where all yōkai where forbidden to live and only allowed to enter through portals on certain terms.
Kagome shook her head and smiled softly at him. "No… Nothing is wrong." She smiled still and looked out the taxi's window again just as it pulled onto the busy interstate and headed towards the airport.
A portal opened in the middle of Lord Koenma's office, with Botan steeping out first. Then followed by Hiei, Kurama and then an arguing Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"You guys are late again!" Koenma spoke up stopping the two from their needless arguing and had their gaze.
"Sorry Koenma sir. But we had trouble getting a hold of Yusuke." Botan said glaring over at Yusuke before she stood next the desk.
"Sorry! I was out with Keiko." Yusuke said as he too took a spot next to the desk, with crossed arms.
"You're always out with her." Kuwabara said.
"I can't help it. She always wants to hang out, and be with me." Yusuke said as he leaned back against the desk, his arms still crossed.
"So why don't you say no then?" Kurama asked as he took a spot leaning back against the wall, near the desk.
"I can't… I don't want to hurt her..." He paused and hesitated. "And…"
"And what? Yusuke?" Botan asked a little annoyance in her voice.
"I plan on asking her to marry me one day." Yusuke said in a quick mumble.
"Ok! Enough with Yusuke's love life and get to why you are here." Koenma began.
"Ok then why are we here and how many of us do you need?" Yusuke asked looking to the toddler, who which he gets in trouble with every time he calls Koenma that, wondering. Usually they only needed one or two of the four of them from time to time. But hardly ever all four.
"All four of you." A voice came from the door way. Everyone looked to the door as two more "toddlers" walked into the room. The one that talked was male and wore nothing but black and white clothing. Along with a black binki thing like Koenma's to match.
"And more" The other toddler spoke up. This one was female, her voice soft and dressed in white and red. A pink binki as well. They both made there way over to the desk and stood on top of it, once they got to the top, on either side of Koenma, who also stood now.
"Guys. This is Lady Yuki and Lord Neko." He said as he introduced each of them by their names. "And this Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara." He introduced each the same way to the other two.
"Okay. So what do you mean by more?" Kuwabara asked a bit confused as to what Lady Yuki had meant.
"You will be teaming up with two other teams of Reikai Tantei." Koenma said.
"So what kind of mission is this that it requires so many of us?" Yusuke asked.
Koenma cleared his throat stood up straighter, with his hands clasped behind his back. "In this mission you all are to work together and find the camp of yōkai that are staring to form. Along with the main one, where they all are to meet."
"Why are they gathering and aren't all or most of them supposed to stay in the Makai?"
"Well some how portals have opened all over the world and they are escaping and forming armies to take over the Ningenkai and eventually the Reikai."
"So if we take them out before they start forming, we might be able to stop them?" Yusuke asked.
"Maybe. While you guys are finding the groups and taking them out. The three of us are going to find a way to close all the portals from here, while a few from your group are able to close it from there."
"Sounds easy enough and fun."
"Also you will be looking for this." Lady Yuki spoke just as a screen came down from the ceiling and a necklace appeared on it. It was plain sapphire gem in the shape of a tear, a small diamond in its center, on a plain silver chain.
"Why do we have to look for that?" Yusuke asked, not interested in the necklace one bit but couldn't wait to get going and fight.
"You don't really as much have to look for it, for we know where it is; for the time being. But we need you to guard it more or less. It has unbelievable powers, even though it doesn't look like it. Not much is known about it yet. But only a few people know of its existence and powers. One being a leader of the yōkai army and the other is one of our teammates." Lady Yuki said.
"So why doesn't our teammate tell you then?" Yusuke asked.
"Doesn't want to risk letting the info leak out and end up falling into the wrong hand which just might happen." Lady Yuki shrugged lightly.
"How?"
"The yōkai in charge knows of its general location."
"So we are going to have guard it real well then. So where is it located?" Kurama said.
"Our teammate will tell you where it is at the right time."
"Okay anything else we need to know. Like where we are going?"
"There are a few more things we need to tell you." Koenma said as he handed Kuwabara a packet of papers.
"What's this?" He asked shifting through the papers two different papers had pictures and profiles on them.
"Its info on where you are to meet your two new team mates and your mission, Kuwabara. The rest of you will be meeting two of lady Neko's at the airport and the rest later on when you arrive." Koenma said.
"Arrive where exactly?" Kurama asked.
"All of you, except Kuwabara; who will be staying here in Japan, will be sent to the States where the yōkai are gathering."
"That's pretty far away. And why is it that Kuwabara is staying here?"
"To take out a smaller group, along with one other person from the other two groups." Koenma said.
"I see. Well we should start heading out then?" Kurama suggested and started to slowly step away from the desk.
"That would be best. Botan will take you to your things and then take you to the airport where you will meet the others." Koenma said and stuck out his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Botan nodded and walked to one side of the room and opened a portal. In a few seconds the room was cleared of everyone but the toddlers.
"Do you really think they can all work together on this mission with out messing it up?" Lady Yuki asked looking to the men beside her.
"I believe in my team, as much as you both believe yours. They'll figure something out to get the job done." Koenma said, closing his eyes with a slight sigh.
"I hope your right. And knowing a few of these team mates from what I've heard, they're going to have a rough time with a few of them." Lord Neko nodded and folded his arms in front of his chest, with a satisfied look.
Lady Yuki and Koenma both nodded in agreement but they all new some how something was going to get messed up
