Chapter 4

"Well, my dear miko, it seems my work here is done. I surely hope you enjoy my gift. It takes true art to make something like it." The figure chuckled, "Now for the finishing touch." Newly fresh tears came to Kagome's eyes at the feel of burning flesh. 'Inuyasha, where are you?!' She closed her eyes, trying to avoid the pain. 'I'm sorry… Inuyasha'

The figure stopped and stood in front of her, the knife in hand, with blood dripping to the floor. Kagome opened her eyes, her tears felt cool against her heated face. She squinted as a drop of blood landed near her mouth. "It seems that Inuyasha is on his way." The figure chuckled and picked her up by the shoulders. She gasped as she finally managed to see his face clearly.

'Miroku… no it's not him. It's just his face. He must be that shape-shifter Sango was talking about' She glared at his dark blue eyes, but one seemed a little different, the right was lighter than the other. She noticed for once that he was much built; a little bit more than Sesshomaru. She also noticed how his darker eye flashed and the lighter one seemed to fade into a darker shade. She glared at him when he started chuckling.

"Don't forget me." He grabbed a fistful of her hair and kissed her hard on the lips. Kagome shut her eyes tight, trying hard to pull away but to no avail. He pulled away, pulling out the little bottle holding the shards and chuckled, disappearing in thin air letting Kagome fall hard to the ground. She heard his chuckling fade away and cried harder.

The darkness around her faded away slowly as she was falling unconscious from loss of blood with her tears still trailing down her face. Her breathing harsh and short, her back ached, but she didn't care. She fought through the pain, trying to stand. Her legs trembled and her knees buckled when she tried walking. She grabbed a nearby tree, steadying herself as a wave of dizziness took over her.

She breathed in deeply and cringed from the pain. 'Inuyasha…' she took a step but fell to the ground. A few tears escaped her as she finally fell unconscious. 'I'm sorry…'

Inuyasha panicked and increased his speed. "Inuyasha, please slow down!" Shippo cried and ducked as a tree branch passed by. "Shut it Shippo, I don't have time to deal with your complaining!" Shippo sighed and narrowed his eyes from the rushing wind.

He gasped and his eyes widened, "Inuyasha!" He pointed up and ahead and Inuyasha stopped so suddenly Shippo fell off his back. Inuyasha glared at the figure in front of him.

"Inuyasha, why did you stop?" Sango hauled Kirara to a stop and Miroku jumped off, running towards Inuyasha's side. "Naraku, what are you doing here?" Miroku yelled, readying himself for any attack.

Inuyasha growled, "Where's Kagome!?"

Naraku chuckled, "Why Inuyasha, it's such a pleasure to see you again." He stood from his spot on the ground, "It's quite odd that you left her alone, but then again quite expected." He chuckled more.

"What are you talking about?! Tell me what you've done to Kagome!" he stood ready with Tetsaiga fully transformed.

Naraku pulled his hood down, and smirked at him. "What makes you think I've done anything to your precious miko?" He put his hood back on and turned away, "Maybe you would appreciate meeting the man responsible for her death." At his last word, he disappeared.

"Naraku you bastard! Get back here! We're not done!"

"Inuyasha, is that you?" a soft, breathy voice barely audible, asked.

"Kagome? Kagome where are you?! " Inuyasha, along with Sango and Miroku looked around.

"Inuyasha, over there!" Sango shouted jumping off Kirara. Just as she did, Kagome stepped out from behind a tree. Inuyasha put Tetsaiga away and rushed over to her side and brought her back to where Miroku and Sango were waiting.

"Kagome, what happened to you?" Inuyasha set her down on the ground and looked at her injuries. "Who did this to you?"

Sango started moving towards them but Miroku held her back. She looked at his serious face that only shook his head, "Something isn't right. Stay here in case something happens." She nodded before going back to check on Shippo who woke after his fall. Miroku watched on intently. 'I just hope I'm wrong'

Kagome looked up at him, tiredly and tried smiling, "It's alright, Inuyasha. I'm fine."

"What are you talking about? You're hurt, how can you be fine?"

"Inuyasha, please calm down. I don't know what happened. I was just at the river and the next thing I know I'm awake and covered in blood."

"Kagome, perhaps you should let us care for your injuries." Kagome looked at Miroku who offered his hand. She nodded and accepted his hand. "Inuyasha why don't you go get the first aid kit in Kagome's bag."

"Sure where is it?"

"Ask Sango for it, she has it with her." Inuyasha nodded and walked away, leaving Miroku and Kagome.

"So Miroku, what do-"Kagome stumbled backwards, holding her bruised cheek. "What the hell!" She wiped some blood away from the corner of her mouth.

"Show yourself you demon!" he yelled holding his staff in front of him.

"Miroku, what the hell is going on?!" Inuyasha ran back, throwing the first aid to the monk.

"Inuyasha, he punched me in the face!" Inuyasha removed her hand from the bruise and hissed. He turned, growling, "What the hell is your problem!"

"Inuyasha, that's not Kagome!"

"What are you talking about!? It is her!"

Miroku shook his head, "Inuyasha, you know her better than any of us. How can you not see that isn't her?"

Inuyasha turned away, balling his hand into a fist. "And besides Kagome will never use a shard of the Shikon for her own benefit, neither will she be able to taint it."

Inuyasha's head snapped up and looked at the chain around her neck containing the shards. 'He's right… The shards… they're tainted!'

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he slowly looked up to meet her in the eye. "Kagome?" she laughed softly, her bangs shadowing her eyes. "Kagome, look at me!" her laughter grew louder and louder until her head snapped up, laughing at the sky, her eyes wide and unblinking. "Kagome!" his voice broke into anger as he grabbed her arm.

She punched him in the face, her laughter going down, "Foolish Inuyasha. And here everybody said you were so strong and caring. Especially your precious Kagome." Inuyasha spat out blood and glared at her. She laughed, "Why so angry, Inuyasha? I thought you loved me?" her laughter grew, "You're so worried about me that you can't even see that Kagome is slowly dying."

Inuyasha's eyes widened and grabbed her by the collar. "Where is she!?" she put her hands on top of his. "Why should I tell you? How do you know that I'm actually the real Kagome and your friend over there isn't the fake?" She grunted as he punched her in the gut.

She laughed and stared at him straight in the eye. "You're wasting your time. Even if you find her, she'll never wake up." He dissolved into liquid before slowly materializing into his true form. Sango gasped, "Shape-shifter… Inuyasha, he's the shape-shifter we sensed yesterday!"

He chuckled; his dark blue almost black eyes gleamed in pure amusement. His built body shining with armor that was on his shoulders, chest and back. His black hair pulled back into a high, tight ponytail with two strands framing his face. As his feet finally materialized he took a step toward Inuyasha.

He growled, "Who the hell are you?" The figure smirked, "I'm the bringer of light, bringer of darkness. Look me in the eyes and you're gone forever." He laughed which only made Inuyasha's growl louder, "I am also the cause for your death." He stopped laughing and returned to his smirk, "They call me Keitaro." Miroku's eyes narrowed. 'Blessed?'

"But let's not worry about that." He took out a whip that was strapped to his waist and whipped it out towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha jumped out of the way and was about to pull Tetsaiga out when Keitaro's whip wrapped around his wrist. He growled and tried tugging it away from its owner but it was no use. The whip was wrapped tightly around his wrist and Keitaro pulled it hard and sent Inuyasha flying over his head.

He let out a cry as he hit the ground hard. "Inuyasha! Are you alright?" Sango cried from behind Keitaro. He struggled getting up and coughed from the dust floating in the air. "Yea, go find Kagome!" he pulled out Tetsaiga and she nodded.

Miroku turned to her, "Head towards the river. That's the direction Keitaro came from. I'll stay behind to help Inuyasha." She nodded once more before climbing on Kirara, "Let's go Shippo." He jumped up and settled in front of her. They took off and Miroku turned back to the fighting to see Inuyasha shot to the ground again. He gripped his staff tightly and rushed forward towards Keitaro.

"Do you see her anywhere, Shippo?" Sango asked as they flew around the river area. "Not yet. Maybe she's somewhere deep in the fores-. Hey wait! I think I see her!" He pointed to a small red bundle. "Kirara, take us down." Sango leaped off Kirara when they reached the ground and ran to the bundle; Shippo right behind her. She gasped, "Kagome!" She kneeled beside her and checked for any life.

Her breathing had slowed along with her heart rate. She was covered in sweat, dirt, but what horrified them the most, blood. "Sango, her back… it's all…" Shippo's eyes widened before he broke down crying. "What did they do to her?" He backed away enough to let Sango check her back. She ripped off a piece of cloth and cleaned some of the blood off and gasped. "Oh Kagome… what have they done to you? Kirara!"

Kirara rushed over and kneeled down. "We have to get to Kaede's hut now. She's the only one that can help her. Shippo, Kirara and I will drop you off at Jinenji's village so you can get some herbs. Just tell him what her condition is and as soon as he hands the herbs over to you rush back to the village as fast as you can alright." Shippo wiped his tears away and nodded. Sango smiled as she finally got Kagome gently on Kirara's back. "Let's go!"

Inuyasha punched Keitaro who stumbled back. He lashed his whip out and it wrapped around Tetsaiga. He smirked. 'Got'cha' Inuyasha pulled as hard as he could and the whip wrapped all the way around. Keitaro took a step back, shocked and defenseless. Inuyasha undid it and tossed it to Miroku.

Miroku lashed the whip towards Keitaro who merely took a step back. Miroku brought the whip back to him and lashed it out again. This time it hit Keitaro on the chest and Miroku smirked and brought it back again. His eyes widened in comfusion.

He watched as Keitaro's wound lighted up brightly until it completely disappeared. He chuckled, "Do you really think that you can harm me with my own weapon?" He extended his hand ripping the whip away from Miroku's hands and came back to him. He stared at them both waiting for an attack.

"Miroku, is there any way that we can get to him?" Inuyasha asked panting next to him. He was badly injured on his arms and legs. He had a deep cut in his stomach area, bleeding more and more every minute.

Miroku was just as bad. His right arm was slashed with a long cut leaving it completely paralyzed. His legs had the same cuts. Keitaro, on the other hand, only managed to get one bruise on his left cheek from Inuyasha's punch.

"I can try my sacred sutras but I don't think it will do much help." He reached into his robes and pulled out a few. They started floating in the air, surrounding him in each side. "Inuyasha, distract him as much as you can while I get these ready."

"No problem!" He lunged forward and swung Tetsaiga to where his head should be but Keitaro dodged and lashed his whip at his arm again. Inuyasha cried out in pain and swung his sword again. He jumped and this time his whip connected with his back. "Come now Inuyasha. Is this the best you can do?" He chuckled as he lashed his whip again on his back.

Just as he was about to strike again, he dropped to one knee in pain and tried reaching his back with his right arm. He pulled off a sacred sutra and tried standing, only to be attacked with three more. Inuyasha took his chance and ran to where Miroku was standing as if in a prayer with sutras glowing and firing themselves towards Keitaro.

Keitaro yelled in pain and struggled trying to take off the sutras all the while glaring at Miroku who had just opened his eyes. Miroku turned to Inuyasha and gave him a goofy grin, "Its working!" he laughed while Inuyasha sweat-dropped. He shook his head and Miroku turned serious, "Inuyasha, I'm going to send a few more. Get your Wind Scar ready and I'll tell you when to release it."

"I got it." Inuyasha closed his eyes and concentrated as Miroku attacked a still struggling Keitaro. Inuyasha opened his eyes, watching as Keitaro's flesh started burning. "Now!" Inuyasha's eyes flashed and lifted Tetsaiga up, "Wind Scar!" he swung it down towards Keitaro.

Keitaro's eyes widened, "NOOO!!!" Miroku shielded his eyes with his hand from the attack as he watched it hit him in the chest. Inuyasha smirked and rested Tetsaiga on his shoulder. "It's about time…" Miroku looked at him, smiled, and nodded.

Keitaro lay on the ground motionless; his left arm twitching now and then. Inuyasha sheathed Tetsaiga before turning around and motioned for Miroku to follow him. "Come on. We have to find Kagome."

"Inuyasha, Miroku!" Shippo called as he fell from the sky and landed on Miroku's shoulder. "We found Kagome. She's unconscious and lost a lot of blood, but Sango is on her way to Kaede's hut. We need to go now! I have to take her these special herbs."

Inuyasha nodded, "Alright let's go."

"Not so fast, Inuyasha. I'm not dead yet." Inuyasha turned back around and saw Keitaro on his knees. "It will take more than that to get rid of me." His knees buckled but stood up straight and glared at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha growled. From the corner of his eye, he could see Miroku reaching into his robes and pulling out more sutras. "Miroku," he turned as Inuyasha pulled out Tetsaiga again and held it at ready, "You and Shippo get going. Kagome needs those herbs now."

"Are you sure? You do know that my sutras will not be able to help you now." Inuyasha smirked. "Yea I know but I can take him. Now get going!"

Miroku nodded and with Shippo on his shoulder, started running back to where Kaede's hut was. Inuyasha spread his legs apart and glared at Keitaro. "Alright, let's get this over with." Keitaro smirked and this time took out a knife. Inuyasha's eyes widened when he saw the blood on it. 'That smells like Kagome's blood'

Keitaro chuckled softly, "What's the matter Inuyasha? It looks like you just saw a ghost." Inuyasha growled. "Come and get me Inuyasha. This will be the end of you." With knife ready, he attacked and the battle began again.

With Kagome…..

She saw him struggling. She saw him cry out in pain. She saw every new cut and bruise appearing on his skin. She saw him bleeding to death… She felt his every ache and pain, but she could do nothing but cry and watch him suffer. She cried and cried yelling out his name knowing that he will never hear her.

She watched as Keitaro stabbed and cut Inuyasha everywhere on his body. She watched as Inuyasha blocked once before getting punched in the gut. "Inuyasha, come on! You can beat him just like all the others!" she cried and shouted only for it to reach deaf ears.

"Inuyasha" she whispered. Suddenly, her surrounding changed into a rainy field in a clearing near the forest. She saw a dark figure stand over another lying lifeless on the ground. The figure turned and smirked, "Why hello there, Kagome. Why don't you come and help me to get rid of this body?"

Kagome glared at Keitaro but no matter how much she wanted to turn back around and run, something pulled her to his side. He stepped to the side and let Kagome get a better view of the figure on the ground. She gasped and fresh tears came to her eyes. "Inuyasha…"

"Yes, Inuyasha. I'll admit he put up quite a fight. It was truly an honor to fight h- gah!" Before he could finish Kagome put up a barrier around herself and Inuyasha. She reached out and placed her wet hand on his cheek. 'It's so cold. He's never been this cold.'

She closed her eyes, put her head on his chest and began crying. Keitaro stood to the side, watching with some regret shown in his right light shaded eye while the left showed victory. Kagome grabbed his hand and kissed the top of it. Then she kissed his frozen cold lips one last time. "I love you. I always will."

She stood up and dropped the barrier. With tear filled eyes she looked at Keitaro, but without hate. No, not hate but despair, sadness, and anger. "Why Keitaro? What did we do to you that make you hate us?"

Keitaro looked away, "I was ordered to do this. It was not my wish to kill him but I had no choice."

"Who ordered you?"

He looked back at her but before he could reply she gasped. "Your eyes… They're white." He nodded not at all surprised at her reaction.

"Like that man that you and your friends encountered before from the Band of Seven, I too have a second personality. But believe me when I say that I am much nicer than you think. Naraku has simply, I guess you can say, blocked the real me and made my evil side more dominant. Now I have no choice but to follow what the other me is doing. Please believe me, Lady Kagome, but Naraku has power over me now."

"So how is it that you can talk to me and in my head?"

He smiled, "I have many talents Lady Kagome that Naraku sees useful. This is the one talent that Naraku does not have knowledge of me having."

"So you can sneak into people's minds and talk to them?"

"Not exactly you see the person needs to be asleep or unconscious in order for me to speak to them. It's in a way like mind walking. It's another way to help them even if you do not know who the person is. But the only way to do that is by their dreams."

"So your saying I'm unconscious somewhere in the real world,?"

"Yes"

"Did you make me have those nightmares?"

"I'm afraid not. All in due time Lady Kagome, you will understand. I will be visiting you for future warnings and to possi-"

"No…" she looked down and watched her tears falling from her eyelashes.

"Excuse me?"

"I said no! I don't want your warnings or anything else! You've caused me pain and just made me suffer. You killed the only person I love. What makes you think that I would just go ahead and believe that you aren't as evil as you say?!"

He looked away, sad, "I understand your doubt about me but please Lady Kagome, and I beg you, to believe me! If you refuse to believe me then I ask you to seek out the one named Hisa."

Kagome's eyebrows rose. 'Long lasting…?'

"She would tell you everything there is to know about me and that I am speaking you the truth."

Kagome nodded and turned back to look at Inuyasha's dead body. "There's still time Lady Kagome. You can still save him before it's too late." Her eyes widened as she turned back around but he disappeared. "Go Lady Kagome, save Inuyasha."

"Wait, where did you go? How can I save him?"

"I will return but for now you must wake up."

"Wait a minute, Keitaro!"

"Wake up Lady Kagome."

Kagome gasped for air as her eyes opened wide. Sango jumped by surprise and let out a breath of relief. She smiled happily but there was still some sadness and horror in her eyes. "Kagome you're awake. I was getting afraid you may never wake up." Kagome ignored her and tried to get up. "No, don't Kagome. You're seriously injured."

"I don't care, Inuyasha is in danger. I have to help him."

"Kagome stop! We just wrapped your wounds, you're going to reopen them if you don't stop moving." She grabbed her shoulders, gently pushing her down.

"Sango let me go!" She pushed Sango who fell hard to the ground. Her eyes were wide with shock. Kagome gasped, "I'm so sorry Sango, I didn't mean to, but he's in deep trouble and he needs me."

Sango help up a hand to silence her and looked her in the eye and saw the urgency shine in them. "Kirara, time to go." She stood up along with a smiling Kagome. "Thanks Sango."

"Well you're going to need me so you won't do anything stupid." She smiled. As soon as they came out the hut, Miroku and Shippo came with their hands full with logs for the fire. Miroku noticed how they hurriedly climbed on Kirara, "Where are you two headed?"

"Inuyasha needs help. I can't believe you agreed to leave him by himself!" Sango said as Miroku and Shippo climbed on as well. "He insisted I come back with Shippo. He was worried about Kagome."

"It doesn't matter anymore! The only thing that matters now is that we get to Inuyasha now! Hit the skies Kirara!" Kagome shouted, shocking them all. Shippo cowered behind Miroku. "She's really scary sometimes." Sango and Miroku nodded and braced themselves when Kirara growled and took to the sky.

Kagome looked straight ahead where Inuyasha should be. 'Hang on Inuyasha. I'm coming. I love you! Please hang on' She clutched her bow and arrows close to her. A few tears escaped her eyes and flew along with the wind.

"So what is it that Koenma wants us to do this time?" Kuwabara asked sitting down on Yusuke's sofa, eating a bag of chips. Yusuke yawned and flipped through the channels without bothering to look at what's on.

"I don't know. Kurama said it's a guard and help kind of mission. Anyways he should be here by now with Hiei to discuss the mission." Kuwabara nodded his head and continued eating his chips. Yusuke looked at him and pouted angrily.

"Hey those are my chips!" taking him by surprise, he tackled Kuwabara to the ground. "Give me back my chips!"

"No way Urameshi! I called them and you even said I could have them!'

"Well I changed my mind! Now give them back to me!"

"No give backs Urameshi!"

"Dumbass, we're not in kindergarten anymore!"

"You should still be since you're so stupid!"

"You're stupider!"

"Oh yea well at least I don't sleep with frog and talk to it when you think no one is around!"

Yusuke gasped, "Don't talk about Winkle Tinkle Klinkle Tens AKA Mr. Bob Billy like that!"

"Winkle Tinkle Klinkle Tens? Mr. Bob Billy?" a voice from the door stopped them both in a very awkward position. Kuwabara ended up under Yusuke with his left arm in the air holding the chips in an iron grip while the other was placed on Yusuke's chest. Yusuke was on top, one hand wrapped on Kuwabara's left wrist and the other on his thigh trying to stop him from kneeing his back.

Yusuke sweat-dropped and immediately got off Kuwabara all the while dusting himself off, "Um yea, Winkle Tinkle Klinkle Tens AKA Mr. Bob Billy. Sorry you had to see that." He grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.

Kurama sighed, "It's alright Yusuke and don't worry. I won't say a word." Yusuke laughed nervously, blushing, "Thanks Kurama." He nodded and sat down. Hiei went to Kuwabara who sat happily eating the bag of chips that caused the whole thing.

He looked at Hiei who only stared at him. Before anything could be said, Hiei grabbed the bag and started eating them. "Hey those are mine shrimp!"

"Were yours." He sat next to Kurama and offered him some. He declined and watched Hiei take handfuls of them. Kurama turned his attention back to Yusuke and Kuwabara who was whining a little.

"So what are the details for this new mission of ours?" Yusuke asked finally settling down. Kurama smiled, "This one is quite different Yusuke."

"What do you mean?" Kuwabara asked opening a new bag of chips, earning a few glares from Yusuke.

"Well Kuwabara for one, we're going back in time."

Kuwabara dropped his chips and Yusuke sat up in his seat. "Wait a minute, what exactly does that mean?"

"It means we're going back into the past, idiot." Hiei answered and continued eating the rest of the chips. Yusuke glared at him, "I know that but how is that going to happen? Can Koenma really do that?"

"No but I heard your Barney can." Hiei smirked as he finished eating the chips. Kuwabara paled. "Why you three eyed midget!" Yusuke said through clenched teeth.

Hiei glared at him but before he could do anything Kurama interrupted, "No Yusuke he can't but he believes that someone opened a gateway to the past, five hundred years to the past to be exact." Kuwabara whistled, "That's a lot."

Hiei smirked and was about to reply when, "Hiei…" Kurama said in a warning tone. He 'hned' and looked away. Kurama turned his attention back to the other two who watched with confusion. "Koenma also believes that the girl who opened the gateway posses a very powerful and valuable but dangerous jewel."

"So what do we have to do?" Kuwabara asked. His excitement was rising and at the mention of there being a girl involved made it grow even more.

"Well he wants us to help her collect the rest of the jewel fragments and then completely close the gateway for good."

"Hold on a sec, what do you mean 'collect the rest of the jewel fragments'? Doesn't she have it ALL with her?" Yusuke asked with seriousness in his eyes. Hiei also turned at the mention of fragments.

Kurama closed his eyes and a pinkish color rose to his cheeks. "Well you see, she might have accidently broke it." Yusuke and Kuwabara stared at Kurama with beady eyes. Hiei fell anime-style to the floor.

'How can someone be that idiotic to break a jewel?' he thought sitting back on the sofa. Suddenly, something clicked in his head, "Kurama, exactly which jewel is it?"

Kurama looked at him with a smile, "You figured it out did you?" His eyes flashed with mischievous and Hiei smirked, but nodded. Kuwabara interrupted their silent thoughts when he sighed in frustration. "Will you two stop whatever you're doing and tell us what's going on?!"

Kurama snapped out of his thoughts and apologized. "So what's the name of this oh so important jewel?" Yusuke asked already bored.

"It's called the Shikon No Tama." Hiei answered, "It was created by a powerful priestess when she trapped her soul along with the demons she had been fighting at the time of its creation. The Jewel of Four Souls is the most wanted jewel demons today still wish to have, but nobody can find it." Kurama nodded in agreement to Hiei's statement.

"Legends speak of the priestess who created the jewel is still battling the demons that are trapped inside with her. Only people with a pure heart may keep the jewel pure but when in the wrong hands, it will be tainted by anyone with evil intentions. It will make that person or demon ten times stronger than they are if they come to posses it."

Hiei took over, "The jewel was found by a village of demon slayers and they gave it to a priestess of a nearby village. She gave her life to keep demons away but fell in love with a hanyou. She was said giving the jewel to the hanyou to turn him into a human but betrayed her and took the jewel to be a full blooded demon."

"Shortly after that, she shot him with her arrow and spell bounded him to a sacred tree. She requested her body be burned along with the jewel. Legends also speaks of a reincarnation of the priestess who protected the jewel five hundred years ago,"

"And Koenma thinks this reincarnation is the girl who we're supposed to protect?" Yusuke asked crossing his arms over his chest. Kurama nodded. Kuwabara knitted his brows, thinking hard. "How sure are you that it's the Shikon Jewel?"

"While Hiei and I were in Makai, we over heard from a group of demons that the jewel had shattered into thousands of shards but nobody could find a single fragment of it here. When Koenma told us of the new mission and of the jewel, well it was fairly easy to fit the pieces of information together."

"So how did she break it?" he asked finally giving up on his thinking. Kurama smiled, "Good question. I have no idea, neither does Koenma." Everyone sweat-dropped. "Wow Kurama, you're so bold." Yusuke said. Kurama smiled, "Thank you."

"So when do we leave?" Kuwabara asked stretching his sore muscles. Kurama looked at his watch, "Botan will pick us up in two to three weeks tops at noon. Spirit World still has a few problems regarding the mission but Koenma wants this to be done with soon."

"Fine with me," Yusuke said popping his knuckles, "So what's this girl's name?"

"Hiei you have the paper correct?" Kurama looked to his silent partner. Hiei nodded, took out a piece a paper and unfolded it, "Kagome Higurashi." He read. Yusuke scratched his chin in thought, "That name sounds familiar."

Kuwabara stood still after hearing the name. Kurama looked at him worriedly, "Are you alright Kuwabara?" He opened his mouth but no sound came out. Hiei smirked, "Oh look the fool is finally quiet." Kuwabara didn't reply to the comment but instead snatched the paper away from Hiei.

"Kagome Higurashi… SHE'S MY SISTER!" Yusuke snapped his fingers and smirked, "That's right, little kiggy-tails!" Kuwabara fainted and Yusuke started chuckling at his lost memories. Everyone stared at the lump on the floor. "Um…what now?" Yusuke asked.
