Chapter 1
Kagome walked into her first class with Shuichi and the death glares almost stopped her from breathing.
/Something tells me that there will be trouble here.../
She goes to the front of the class and giving a bow to her classmates, keeping a close eye on them to be ready for any sudden moves.
The teacher smiles and directs her to a seat that is right next to Shuichi Minamino. She groaned on the inside.
/I'm so dead, his fan club is scary and I've faced demons!/ Kagome quickly took her seat and the teacher began her lesson.
Youko was ecstatic and Shuichi was hard pressed not to vent his frustrations in class, he would just have to speak with the fox when Kagome wasn't around.
–What's wrong? Don't want to talk to me anymore? I guess that my good looks are wasted on you after all.-
'Shut up! I need this class so stop bugging me to constantly look over at Higurashi!'
Youko nearly growls and gives Shuichi a push in defiance before going quiet.
Kagome stiffens when she feels the spike in youkai and the boiling frustration coming from Minamino. /I wonder what he really is?/ She asks herself while looking at him from out the corner of her eye.
For the rest of the day, Kagome monitors Shuichi's fluctuations in emotions and by lunch she's decided that he's either crazy or he's two completely different people.
/But how is that possible? I need to read through all of my old miko books again to see if such a thing has occurred before. Maybe, Shuichi's spikes in youkai would be explained.../
Inuyasha returns to camp before the rest of the group wakes and settles down in his usual spot. All is quiet before he hears,
'PERVERT!'
Followed by the sound of someone being knocked into the surrounding trees and thorny bushes.
He opens one eye and finds Sango starting breakfast and throwing dangerous glares over to the part of the forest that is horribly damaged.
Inuyasha sighs. /Will the monk ever learn?/
Shippo stretched and yawned before rubbing his eyes and looking around the camp.
/Kagome-mama is still not back./
He needed his mother back so that some order could be reestablished in the group. It always gets crazy when she's gone.
The silver fox comes to stand before Sesshoumaru and places his hands on his hips.
"So, Lord of Ice. What would you be doing here just staring at a well?"
He gives Sesshoumaru a fang filled grin before flicking one ear toward the well listening for any noise.
"Would it be that miko I smell?" Youko steps closer. "She does smell wonderful doesn't she? Like sakura blossoms right?"
Sesshoumaru glares at the thief.
"You are interfering where you do not belong, Youko. Leave this Sesshoumaru in peace." He states, growling his displeasure at the interruption the thief has caused.
/Will he never cease to bother me? Just because he is handsome doesn't give him leave to insult me at every turn.../
Youko's smile just widens more.
"Well, Sesshoumaru, Lord of Chilling Cold, I would leave but it has just been so boring and I missed your wonderful company." He pauses.
"You should be happy I came here to find you, because I just found out the tastiest bit of information that I thought that you might want to know about..."
Youko trails off and turns to leave with his hands in his pockets. "It was something about this, Naraku character-."
His sentence is cut short by a clawed hand shooting out and wrapping around his throat followed by a throaty growl coming from the Lord of the West.
Youko grins again and flicks his eyes over Sesshoumaru before licking his lips.
"You will tell this Sesshoumaru all the information you have gained on the vile hanyou or your corpse shall become a feast."
Sesshoumaru growls out before tightening his hold on the thief and allowing some of his poison to seep out and burn his skin.
Youko gives a small nod and Sesshoumaru releases him.
The thief smiles at Sesshoumaru and steps close his eyes locked on the icy lord.
/It's now or never./
He grins, showing a fang. "I require payment."
Sesshoumaru glares. "How much do you require for satisfying your lust for gold and jewels enough to give this Sesshoumaru the information?"
/Knowing him, I'll have to give over some land for him to have a new hideout./ the very thought makes him want to be done with the thief.
Youko flicks his tails before giving his demands.
"First, I want more information on the miko."
He crosses his arms at the lord's nod, and grins wider.
"As for the second half of my payment, I require a kiss from you, Lord Sesshoumaru."
/What?!/
Once school was over, Kagome was introduced to Yusuke and Kuwabara. She had to admit, she liked Kuwabara better than Yusuke.
The loud mouthed teen only reminded her more of Inuyasha than ever, she was even tempted to ask if his favorite food was top ramon but stopped herself before she could.
Kagome hugged them and allowed her power tears to mark both of them just so that she would know if they were with Minamino in his plans.
She would find out what this was all about and Inuyasha would just have to wait on the other side of the well.
They said their good byes, leaving Kagome at the bottom of the shrine's stairs before piling back in Minamino's car and leaving.
/Time to do some research on those three.../ She then heads up the stairs to her home, making her way to her room where her computer and old miko books were waiting to be used.
Botan met up with the gang at the park near Yusuke's house. Hiei had turned up on his own, being the independent spirit.
"Hello guys!" She says cheerfully while opening a portal to Koenma's office.
Once they're all through she follows, closing the portal behind them.
Koenma's pacing on his desk when they enter and doesn't say a word to them for a while.
Yusuke decides to break the silence. "Yo baby, what's up?"
Koenma turns and glares at Yusuke nearly turning red in the face.
"This is an important meeting concerning the miko Kagome. She has a power register higher than I've seen in a long time, and apparently, she has friends up high that make it their priority to protect her."
He pauses and paces a little more.
"I have been informed by a, Lord Sesshoumaru, that my team is not allowed near Kagome without his express permission."
Youko freezes as soon as he hears the familiar name. -Damn it.-
Koenma's eyes shoot to Kurama and Hiei. "Do either of you two know about this lord?"
Kanna holds her mirror steady while Naraku focuses on Inuyasha's group.
He chuckles evilly and sits back from the mirror and waves a hand for Kanna to leave.
When he's left to his thoughts, the hanyou smiles to himself. /The miko is gone for an extended period of time and the Western Lord is gaining information from the thief Youko...Maybe I might try to buy off this thief./
He pauses considering something and his grin gets darker, far more sinister.
/Or, I might just take over his mind and have him destroy the one and only chance that Inuyasha's group has of defeating me, the miko Kagome will die.../
