A Yu Yu Yasha Adventure

Chapter 1

Kagome sighed as she took a look around. Yes, by some miracle she had gotten through junior high with a barely passing average. She was actually a mere three percent away from flunking. But the consequences for doing poorly in middle school had severely altered her high school career.

Her school was full of gang members, street thugs, weirdoes, and all around… stupid people; every year it got worse. Kagome hadn't been able to get into a good high school with her transcript and numerous absences. But Tokyo had established a 'no drop-out' policy. These gang bangers and street fighters had to at least put their names on the roster for the only school that would take them. They were on the list, yet many didn't bother to show up. And the ones that did were not there to learn.

Kagome was absent half the time herself. She chuckled to herself a bit as she vaguely remembered having a conversation with her friends about it around two years ago. Many of her friends from junior high were scared for her, when they found out where she was going. Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi were surprised to find that the barely sixteen-year-old Kagome was unafraid.

"Kagome, they are dangerous; you can't go to school with a bunch of thugs," shouted one of her loyal-or annoyingly clingy- friends.

"Yeah, you could get shot or stabbed or… worse," said Ayumi with a worried look etching her features. Her face changed from worry to terror as if she were watching a horror movie in her mind. By the looks of it Kagome would not last long.

"Don't worry about it," Kagome had said with a smile, "the school has metal detachers and armed security in case anything does wrong." Kagome was really not worried about her safety. She had become well trained in hand to hand combat thanks to Sango. She was more worried about the sorry soul would try to attack her first. Sango's moves –as a demon slayer- were lethal a good 85 percent of the time.

Since she was absent often, there was virtually no attention on her. The guys tried to hit on her at the beginning of the year, but gave up when they realized that she wasn't a slut like the other girls. When one tried to cop a feel she swiftly twisted his arm behind his back and pinned him to the nearest wall. She whispered lowly –deadly- in his ear: "That's not wise," then gave his arm another rough pull in an awkward direction and let the whimpering wannabe go.

The school was dingy, dirty, and covered in tagging. On site, it screamed on thing: RUN AWAY! But she didn't. Initially, she tried to learn as much as possible in the time that she was there. After a while, she gave up, and only came because if she didn't her mother might have trouble with the police.

She frequently went back to the feudal era, for their mission was only half over. Naraku had been destroyed for good but the Shikon no Tama had shattered again. In the final battle, Kohaku's life was lost when Naraku –in a desparate attempt to stay alive- removed his jewel shard in order to use it for himself.

Sango was really broken up about her brother's death, but she found solace in the fact that he returned to his normal self for just long emough to share his final words with her.

"I'm sorry sister."

With tears in his eyes, he struggled to hang on for just a bit longer. He was suddenly blindsided by an intense wave of fear; he didn't want to die, but he didn't deserve to live.

She was shouting, probably trying to tell him something like: "don't go", but he was fading. All sounds turned to fuzzy static humming and his vision was completely out of focus. The pain and fear that had previously consumed him where ebbing away along with the image of his sister crying over him. She was drifting away – or he was; he wasn't quite sure of anything anymore- and he felt the need to reach out to her and tell her not to cry for him, but his body refused to obey him. So he settled for a small smile as he became swallowed by the darkness of death.

After the battle Miroku took it upon himself to lend her his shoulder to cry on. To everyone's surprise –including his own- he managed to control his urges and keep his cursed hand off of Sango's bottom.

Since the jewel would not be complete for a while, Kouga got to keep his shards. Kouga had run off to tend to his pack—but not before promising to take Kagome as his mate.

Surprisingly, Miroku still had the wind tunnel. It had shrunken down to a safe size and would never expand or suck him in. He secretly looked forward to a future with Sango, knowing that the curse could no longer be passed down.

At the death of Naraku, Kikyou was enlightened. It turned out that Naraku had kept Kikyou's true soul trapped inside the sacred jewel. In her last moments, she apologized to Inuyasha and Kagome, she released all of the stolen souls, and she allowed herself to be laid to rest. Inuyasha had not taken her death as hard as the rest of the gang thought that he would. Kagome soon began to worry that maybe he was in denial.

"Are you ok," she asked as she approached him from behind. She had been worried. He had been so quite the last few days… ever since Kikyou passed away… again.

"I'm fine," he answered calmly. "I'm actually ok," he sounded a bit shocked by his own honesty.

"Are you sure," she pressed. Kagome was not quite convinced that he was ok with this. 'He's probably just trying to stay strong. He doesn't want to look weak. He probably feels that I- or the others- would think less of him if he were to show emotion. I wish he knew that I would love him just the same either way.'

"Yeah," Inuyasha said as he turned to look at her. Their hair flowed in the light breeze as they thought the same thing about each other: 'Absolutely beautiful.' He followed her with his eyes as she walked over to sit on the ground next to him; he then decided to continue with his thoughts. "Everything is coming together like it should."

She looked at him for a moment only to how relaxed and serene his face looked. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

The bell rang – signaling the time to go home and momentarily rescuing her from her own mind. She quickly stood up to leave. She followed the crowd out of the room and left the building. Although she hated it, this school had done one good thing for her. It had gotten rid of Houjo. With the distance between them, he had finally decided to move on with another girl. 'No skin off my back,' she thought. She was never really interested in the first place.

She looked at her watch and cringed. 'I am so late. I need to hurry up, or he will get mad and come to get me.' She picked up her pace as she walked down the street, but unbeknownst to her, she was being watch closely by curious eyes.

There stood an ex-spirit detective and the former heir to 1/3 of demon world. Yes folks, it's Yusuke. He was also the only one of his friends that went to this hell-hole of a school. But of course, this happened to be on of the first times he had been to school during the last three years. That explained why he hadn't noticed her before. 'I don't know who she is, but she has a great amount of spiritual power. This chick can't be normal. She's cute. That will make following her even more fun.' With a mischievous glint in his eye, he commenced the silent chase and followed her down the street.

Kagome was in such a determined rush, that she didn't even realize that she was being followed. She finally caught sight of her house and began to break into a run. 'What is with this girl,' Yusuke asked himself as he jogged a little to close the growing gap between him and his target.

She dashed up the steps to the shrine and went into the house. What seemed like only three seconds later, she was back out again accompanied by a huge yellow back pack. She stumbled into the well house -the bag was heavy- and threw herself down the well. She felt the familiar tinge and saw the blue light that indicated the travel through time.

He saw her go into the small structure with a yellow bag. It was huge. In fact, it looked like she could hardly walk with it. 'What the hell is she doing?' After a minute and a half of waiting for her to come out, curiosity took hold of Yusuke once again. Without thinking of the possible consequences first –that's just the way he operates-, he snuck into the well house.

"What the hell?" He was definitely confused, but who wouldn't be? All signs said that this was weird.

'Where did she go?' He snooped around, and it only took about 10 seconds to find three things that were out of place. Number 1: the girl was not here anymore. How could that be? He was watching the entire time! Secondly, what the hell kind of well doesn't have water in it? The third and most disturbing was the fact that he was sensing some major spirit and demon energy around the well. Was the girl taken by a demon? Did she need help? All of these questions could only be answered one way. He jumped in the well.
