A cool gust of wind sweeps across a village. The sound of peace filling the moment. Within a small hut at the center of settlement a young woman prepares to return home. Not a normal trip, but one across time.

The young woman sits picking up the litter of trash scattered. Kaede the elder priestess sat in a corner, finishing her lunch.

"That certainly was delishes" she said satisfied with her meal

"I'll be sure to bring you another when I come back" the woman reassured as she swung her yellow bag over her shoulder.

"Thank you Kagome, your mother's meals are quite delightful" she answered with a smile

Kagome glanced her smile as she left the worn hut. Walking through the village, all those that passed by gave her a wave. Heading in a direction of a mystical well, what initially brought her here.

"Kagome!!"

Turning seeing a child-like spirit chase after her. As it caught her it was nearly out of breath.

"Shippo what's wrong?" She asked

"Kaede told me you were leaving, can come!" He shouted

"Sure, just to the well" she affirmed which gave the young spirit a pout

Usually her other friends like Miroku, and Sango would accompany her as well. Though they could be at the well by now and just waiting.

"Hey Shippo, where's Inuyasha?" She asked continuing their walk

"I don't know, he might be sulking somewhere" he answered

It wasn't the first time either, Inuyasha would disappear once he got the chance. Dwelling on her thoughts they soon saw the Bone Eater Well insight. As well as Sango and Miroku waving.

"Sango! Miroku!" She yelled

"Kagome, we heard you were leaving" Miroku spoke

Kagome would always watched his hands just incase.

"Yes, I need to before my grandfather gives me another ridiculous disease" she answered with a worried smile.

"Of course, just don't be gone too long" Sango said with a reassured smile

As Shippo hopped off her shoulder, she put both legs over the entrance. Looking back all three gave a wave and smile. Kagome then jumped falling into a bright light.

Present

"Come on Urameshi! Just give me half and I'll pay you back I swear!"

Standing outside a shop, two unfriendly looking men stood. Both arguing over something trivial.

"No way! You'll probably just forget and leave me hanging!"

"What!? That's crazy! Kuwabara is no liar!" He shouted

"Ya ya, just get that ugly mug outta here" Yusuke said shoving him to the ground

Just before he could start throwing fists.

"Well this seems to be interesting"

The turned their gaze to see the other half of Team Urameshi. Hiei and Kurama, both demons though they've chosen to stay by Yusuke's side.

"What you guys doin here?" Yusuke asked

"We've come to retrieve both you and... him" Hiei answered

"Hey!! Why you gotta say it like that!! You make it sound like it would kill ya!!" Kuwabara shouted and pointed at the shorter of the two

"It could have" he responded making the psychic growl

"Kurama?" Yusuke asked nonchalantly

"Koenma, has requested our presence for what? I cannot say" he answered expectantly

Higurashi Shrine

As the young woman climbed out the stone well greeted by the familiar shed. Exiting she couldn't be anymore welcomed. Approaching the home that stood on the grounds. Her grandfather overjoyed to see his granddaughter alive.

"You've returned to us!!" He shouted giving her a hug

"Hello grandpa"

In the kitchen stood her mother, and little brother. Both beaming with joy after seeing her.

"Kagome! Welcome home!" Her mother yelled in joy hugging her tightly

Breaking the embrace and small talk Kagome went straight up to her room. Seeing her bed after weeks of sleeping on hard ground. Throwing herself relaxing after landing on the soft fabrics. Staring into the ceiling, reaching into her shirt grabbing a flask holding the shards of the Shikon Jewel. The pink glow shining brightly, as it's power radiated behind the glass.

"How much longer once the jewel is done? What will happen after?"

As she dozed off, but awaken when Kagome's mother broke her out of her thought.

"Kagome we're heading into town you wanna come!" She shouted at the bottom of the stairs

"Yeah, hold on!!"

Koenma's Office

"Hey brat! Did you need something!!" Yusuke spoke with a grin always antagonizing towards his superior

"Yusuke! One of these days you're going to really get it!!" The short lord shouted in anger

"Calm down sir" George the ogre advised hesitantly

The toddler like being crossed his arms and pouted, but gave a glare.

"So what is it you need Koenma?" Kurama asked with a smile

"Finally respect, yes we may have something for you George" he commanded

George flipped the tv set showing a map and several pulsing dots.

"What're those?" Kuwabara asked gazing at the map

"Spirit signatures" Hiei answered coldly

"Precisely, but they come and go weeks at a time and usually with greater power after" George agreed

"So far they haven't left the shrine, but today we got lucky as it's now moving we need you to retrieve whatever it is and bring it back" Koenma added showing the orb of energy moving across the map.

"Ok, but what is it??" Yusuke asked

"Uncertain could be an old relic or a powerful weapon, but if demons get a whiff of this... it could cause calamity for us all" Koenma said with extreme caution

Yusuke narrowed his eyes, but kept an eye on the orb.
