"Spell"


Last Time:

"I know that someof you may have been enemies but we're going to try and push differences aside. After your contract is terminated with me, you can kill eachother for all I care. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a miko. My name is Kagome. For those who came from the past, you are 500 years into the future. For those from the future, you're in the Makai and in the Western House.Any questions will be answered at dinner. For now...you may find a room and leep in. No fighting is all I ask for. At this moment I'm going to take a bath. We'll meet in the dining hall for dinner.

I know that each room is equipped with spare clothes, should there be something not of your tastes, find a servent and send them to get you some clothes. Farewell for now and dinner is in several hours. Find a servent should you need something."

I left the room without a backwards glance and sighed. What the hell did I get myself into?


Chapter Three:

"I called her first..." Bankotsu snarled at Kuronue once Kagome left the room. Said bat merely arched a fine ebony brow and laughed at the mercenary.

"Do you know who I am?" the bat chuckled, his voice deep and alluring. "I'm Kuronue, partner to Youko Kurama, famous for my conquests involving the...softer sex. She'll fall at my feet."

"I'll kill you here and now asshole." Bankotsu growled, pulling his halberd, Banryuu, from his back and pointing it to the demon in front of him. Kuronue pulled a chain scythe from his side and began to swing it in circular motions.

"Bring it, human." Kuronue smirked as the surrounding demons and humans moved back, not wanting to loose their lives again.

"DRAGON-" Bankotsu began but was cut off by Jakotsu whom stood in front of him with his hands on his hips in a very feminine manor.

"I don't see why you're fighting over a woman, Bankotsu. Though I like her more now then in the past, she is still a woman and she told us not to fight. I suggest we go and find a room before all the good ones are taken." Jakotsu scolded and then made his way over to Sensui and smirked. "Hey, sexy. You wanna share a room with me?"

Yusuke laughed and Hiei merely shook his head. Sensui on the other hand...eyed the obviously gay man up. Said gay man had enatngled himself within the taller man's arms. Laughter abrubtly died and shock was replaced when Sensui nodded and the two left the room arm in arm.

"I knew it!" Yusuke swore. "I knew he was fruity! When we faught...he always tried to feel me up!!!"

Kurama and Hiei chuckled followed by Karasu and Suikotsu. (A/N: I have nothing against gay people! A majority of my friends are gay...if I have offended someone in anyway I'm sorry and please contact me if you have any problems with that segment.) Hiten sighed and turned towards the door.

"I guess we should go and find a few rooms." he said with a worn smile and he looked nothing like the blood thirsty demon he usual was.

"Yeah!" Bankotsu agreed, putting his halberd back onto his back. He wrapped his arm around Suikotsu's neck and smiled. "Let's go get drunk and find a room! We'll get a servent to get a few whores and call it a night, eh Suikotsu?" he laughed.

"Sure, Big brother." he laughed back. Kurama's eyes narrowed at the duo as well as Yusuke's but Kurama kept his mouth shut. Yusuke on the other hand opened his big mouth.

"Oi! I thought you were pursuing, Kagome!" he growled.

"I am but not right now...I just came back to life and not as a corpse! I have a beating heart and everything! I'm gonna have some fun before pursuing that sexy lady." then he was off with Suikotsu in search of a room and a maid. Kurama held back the growl that threatened to spill forth.

(A/N: In this story Youko and Kurama are the same soul. There is no seperate being. Shocker, right?)

After that little scene the others in the room simply dispersed and left the spirit detectives in search of a room. As the detectives were about to leave the room a maid appeared with a smile on her face. She bowed to the three and came forward, a small blush on her cheeks. She was a cat demon with droopy silver cat ears, short black hair, and a silver cat tail. She was dressed in a skimpy french maid uniform.

"Hello. I am the maid assigned to My Ladies wing. You are her personal fighters now and will be living in the Western Wing with her. My name is Sakura and I will help should you need anything." she smiled. "If you would please follow me to your rooms."

Wordlessly the tentei followed the cute cat to the Western Wing. As they walked they noticed that all of the staff was female and some were dressed conservativly while others were dressed in...less clothing. There was giggling as they passed and the tentei managed to ignore most of it...until one comment was made that had Kurama and Yusuke stop in their tracks.

"I wonder what Shintaro-sama will say when he sees all the pretty demons." one maid giggled.

"He'll get jealous of course! You know that it has been months since he last saw Kagome-hime. They feel something for each other but she is slightly colder now."

"I wonder who will win Kagome-hime's hand! Will it be a new comer or sexy Shintaro-sama?" they giggled before leaving. Kurama and Yusuke continued walking both slightly curious. Wouldn't you be curious about you sexy bosses love life?


Higurashi House:

Kun-loon Higurashi sat at the window of what used to be her daughters room. A cruel smirk lit her lips as she remembered her daughters anger. A presence across the room made her look up and smile. Her normally kind face was contorted with the evil that posessed her and waited as another woman came from the shadows. She resembled her daughter in a way.

Long waist length brown hair, cool grey eyes, pale skin. She resembled her indeed. The woman was wearing the traditional robes of a miko. Red hakamas were on her legs and the white hiori symbloized that she was a miko. She was smirking at Kun-loon and walked close to the other woman.

"You have done well, Naraku." the woman whispered.

"Really now?" Kun-loon asked, her voice now deep and sinister.

"Did she feel it was you?" the woman asked as the female known as Kun-loon changed into a man with long black wavy hair, with pale skin, and red eyes wearing a black men's kimono. He allowed a cruel smile to flit across his aristocratic features.

"On a sub-concious level, she felt something was wrong and reacted horriblly ro her 'mothers' concern. She felt sub-conciously that there was something wrong with her 'mother' and practicly attacked me." he chuckled grabbing the the womans hand and standing up as he brought her to him. "Where is that reward, Kikyo?" he asked as he pushed her down onto the full sized bed that belonged to Kagome.

"Inuyasha will smell you on me." Kikyo hissed. Naraku chuckled again.

"You should bathe thouroghly then because I want my reward." he chuckled as he began to undress her. "You are mine, Inuyasha just doesn't know it yet and besides, in the state he is in, he is nothing more then a puppet."

"Nara-" Kikyo was cut off when his lips covered her own in a rough kiss and that night, Naraku recieved his reward.


Kagome's POV:

I came out of the hotsprings and wrapped myself in a towel. I went to my room and dressed in a simple red kimono with black butterflies on the sleeves. I pulled my wet hair into a bun and walked to the dining-room. Sighing heavily, I entered the dining-room and sat at the head of the table and waited for my new recruits to come and eat their dinner.

The first person to enter the dining room was Kurama. I gestured for him to sit at the seat at my right. He looked puzzled for a moment but he nodded his consent and took the seat at my side. He looked at me for a moment and lifted a brow at him as if to say, 'what'?

"What is you want from us?" he asked, his voice soft and husky. I found myself closing my eyes and listening to lightly accented voice with anticipation. "You can't simply want us all for this war, is there something else?" he asked and I silently congradulated his observation skills.

"I want to forget the pain." I whispered, my own voice nothing more than a whisper. "In all of years of knowing about demons...everyday has been painful and I want something to distract me. I never liked Koenma...there was always something wrong with that brat. Knowing that he is going to annihalate the demonic race has provided me with a distraction. I-I just want my pain gone for awhile and when this war is over...I will sleep."

"Why not sleep now?" he asked, his warm hand grabbing my much smaller one and more cold one. I let a small smile spill forward and make its way onto my face.

"I have friends that are still alive and they are demons and I will ensure their safety before I sleep." I whispered once again.

"So when this is done...you'll kill yourself and be done with it?" Kurama asked, his grip tightening on my hand.

"I have nothing holding me to this world but a family that will never understand why I have a dagger hidden on my body or why I sleep with a barrier around my room. That will never understand why I can never have a normal life as a regualr girl."

I tried. I really tried but the way he was looking at me with such sympathy made my resolve crack. He looked so understanding at that moment and I couldn't hold it in. I hadn't really mourned the passing of my friends and he was there, holding my hand and absently stroking the knuckles with his thumb. His face was so angelic and he was so perfectly kind to me. When was the last time someone had looked at me like that and had been truly knid without wanting something in return?

No one since Shippo.

A tear slipped down my cheek, followed by another and then another. I felt my shoulders shake with silent sobs. Kurama made no move to comfort me or tell me to stop. No. He just sat there stroking my knuckles with his thumb and allowed me this release. he allowed me this comfort that I hadn't felt in such a long time. Soon I wiped my tears away and looked into Kurama's smiling face.

"Thank you." I whispered to him and I felt the ice around my heart crack a little.

"I can be a shoulder for you, Kagome. I can offer you that much if that is what you need. I can offer you all you need if you just come to me." he said with his smile widening. "Maybe I can give you reason to stay alive after this war."

"Maybe." I smiled back and there went another crack in the ice of my heart.

"Well, well Kurama." Yusuke chuckled entering the dining room which is more like a hall. Kurama looked at Yusuke and lifted an elegent brow and smiled a predators smile.

" 'Well, well' what, Yusuke?" Kurama asked, not releasing my hand.

"I knew you liked danger...but enough to pursue our employer for it." he smirked as he took a seat at my left. Kurama chuckled darkly and let a dangerous smirk take his mouth.

"I love danger." he purred, his voice slightly darker and deeper, his eyes flashing gold for a moment.

I starred at him and he merely shrugged his shoulders as if to say, 'what can you do'? I was puzzled by him and his strange aura that was neither human, demon, or hanyou. I wouldn't ask, not now at least. Yusuke on the other hand was clearly a hanyou. He smirked cockily at me when he saw me look him over.

"See something you like?" he teased. I turned away and blushed. It had been a long time since I blushed, a really long time.

"No." I snapped. "I'm merely looking at your aura."

"Sure. That's what they all say." I found myself giggling at the funny Mazoukan and he laughed along with me. Kurama merely smiled at us, enjoying our mirth. Our laughter stopped as Suikotsu, Bankotsu, and Hiten walked in singing really dumb songs and really off key all three drunk off their asses.

"There was o-once a w-oman that I had l-loved..." Bankotsu began leaving Suikotsu to continue

"...and s-she threw me a b-bottle of s-sake!" then Hiten began.

"I threw it b-back and s-said that I n-needed the s-stronger kind..." then all three of them sang together.

"...and s-she threw it back t-twice as hard and t-told me to go on and d-die make her l-life easier!! HAHAHA!!!" I sighed as they crashed onto the table and toppled over. I brought a hand to cover my eyes.

"If I don't see it, it's not there." I said, repeating it like a mantra.

"Sorry to tell ya, babe." Yusuke said touching my shoulder. "But it's there and no amount to pretending will make it go away."

"Mrgg." I grumbled causing Yusuke to laugh.

"What the hell was that?!" he asked, laughing.

"That was my, 'whatever' grumble." I replied with my dignity in tact.

"Cute." Kurama said from the side.

"Oi! Kagome! K-Kagome!" Bankotsu called. "W-we're drunk!" he laughed.

"I-I do not get d-drunk!" Hiten yelled, standing straight with authority in his voice. "I am a d-demon! I can n-not get d-drunk."

"Really?" Suikotsu yelled. "Then w-what are you n-now?!"

"S-slightly intoxic-cated." Hiten answred seriously. The next thing I knew, more laughter ensued and then a headache came as Hiten fell back on the floor with the two drunk humans.

"Did Bankotsu get to drinking already?" Jakotsu asked as he walked into the room, his arm looped through Sensui's.

They walked on top of the drunk demon and humans and took a seat at the table next to eachother and on the otherside of Kurama. When had Sensui and Jakotsu gotten togther? They had only been alive for what-two hours? I hit my head against the table. "You really shouldn't do that to yourself, Kagome-chan."

"Kagome-chan?" I asked.

"You did bring me back to life and you're not a bad female like those other wenches in this world." he said as he leaned over to pet my hand and then to pull away. "I guess I can be friends with you, make an exception to the 'all women are evil' rule."

"Okay?" I said uncertainly.

Hiei appeared next Yusuke as a blur and simply 'hn'ed'. I shook my hed and then watched as Kuronue walked in with a maid in his arms. He shooed her away as he sat next to Hiei and he smiled. I narrowed my eyes at him. How dare he touch my maids after deing alive for only a couple hours?! That pissed me off. No one touched what was mine without permission. I stood and hit my fist on the table just as Kohaku and Karasu walked in. All talk ceased, even from the drunken bastards on the floor.

"You will not touch my maids." I growled, releasing some of my power from their bonds. "If you want to screw someone, get a whore! I have a brothel in the city. Buy one and bring it home but do not touch the maids without my permission." I snapped. "Should you need money for the brothel then damn it! Ask me for it!" I snarled as a sliver of my power swirled at my feet in silver energy that cackled like lightning. "Do you all understand?"

"Yes." was all I heard, even from Kohaku.

"Someone has a stick up their ass." a playul voice came from the entrance of the room and I narrowed glowing silver eyes at him.

I looked at the intruder and growled. The man had long gold hair that touched the base of a fluffy gold swishing tail with a light blue frosted tip, and light blue messy bangs that covered gray eyes. The man had lightly pointed ears and two black stripes on each cheek to show his status a tai-youkai. He wore a black hiori with gold hakamas. A sword was at his waist and aristocratic features were pulled into a smile.

"Hello, Kagome." his deep and playful voice chuckled at me. "Would like to introduce me to your friends?"

"Everyone, meet my general, Shintaro." I sighed as all the power drained from me and I plopped down into my chair. "You haven't died since the last time I saw you?"

"Nope. Can't get rid of me that easily!" he chirped.

"Damn." I cursed. "I was hoping."

"I bet you were, love. I bet you were."


KYN: Should I add my OC Shintaro into the mix? Yes or no? He's my sexy half inu half kitsune demon that apparently has something with Kagome. I don't care either way. The polls will be closed December 29, at 12:00 AM central time. I will next accept votes after that time. Just add what you want in your review...there will be no poll on my file.

Youko: Shintaro is a sexy thing, isn't he?

KYN: Yep!

Youko: Can I have him?

KYN: Nope!

Youko: Damn. Please review!
