Ch.7 –Her Chosen

Youko slowly opens his eyes, looking around with half-lidded eyes. His eyes rest on Tsukiko as the unsuspecting male slowly pulls his shirt over his head. –Hmm…I haven't been out long…I have to steal a kiss from him before I leave! I must prove to him that I am the best and then he will regret saying no to me FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!- Youko gets an idea. He pretends to still be unconscious as Kagome looks over at him.

-He's still asleep… I can't get out if he's still against the door. I'll have to move him. But thank goodness I was able to get my clothes. He didn't even see my hit coming. I wonder how long he'll be out… oh well… now where should I move him?- Kagome tries to think as she slowly approaches the sleeping kitsune blocking her escape route. She reaches out to move him slightly when he lashes out at her, grabbing her shoulders and forcing her forward. His lips crashed into hers and her mind flew out the window.

-I caught you.- Youko smirks victoriously as he holds Tsukiko in place.

"Where is she?" Sesshomaru calmly walks through a group of youkai. "I know she's here. Her kit is here." He growls lowly.

"Sesshomaru-sama we should just ask the hosts if they've seen Shippo. This is after all a men's tournament. Kagome would be hiding. We might not recognize her."

"We're not asking for directions Rin. I know where I'm going."

Rin taps some random demon on the shoulder. "Excuse me sir, I'm looking for a friend of mine. He goes by the name of Shippo, a fire kitsune. Have you seen him?"

"Hn." A short, black-haired demon glares at her.

"I am looking for a friend of mine, it is very important that I find him. Will you help me?"

"Hn."

"I just need a few moments of your time. I need to find a fire kitsune."

"Hn. Annoying onna." Hiei turns to walk away when someone grabs his shoulder roughly and he's spun around to face an angry dog demon.

"She asked you a question. It is for your safety that you do not make me wait." Sesshomaru growls.

"I do not have to listen to some stupid dog demon."

"You do if you want to live." Sesshomaru steps slightly closer, hand on Tokijin.

"Lord Sesshomaru, what a pleasant surprise." Yusuke runs over. "I was not expecting you to come. What can I do for you?"

"Lord Urameshi." Sesshomaru states blandly. "This belongs to you I presume." He glares at the hybrid before him.

"Hiei is a friend of mine, yes. I'm sorry if he offended you in any way, but I need him alive."

"My pup is looking for a kitsune by the name of Shippo. Where is he." The stoic lord states rather then asks.

"Shippo… the fire kitsune in the tournament?"

"Oh yes!" Rin beams. "He's a dear friend of mine, I must find him!"

"As you can see she's been away from her chosen for quite some time. Now where is he, I am losing patience."

"They should be at their hotel room. Hiei should be able to take you there, I need to be present while the tournament is in session."

"Very well. But one more offense and I shall rid the world of his presence."

"Excuse me Lord Urameshi, but if I may ask…" Rin pipes up. "Would it be alright if we spent the night at the hotel? If it's not too much trouble I mean…"

"Heck yeah, feel free to stay and watch the tournament as long as you want. I'll have the hotel make up your rooms immediately. It was nice to see you Lord Sesshomaru. I hope you'll join me in the stadium for the tournament."

"Indeed." Sesshomaru turns his attention back to Hiei as Yusuke runs off to who knows where. "Now, show us to the hotel."

"Hn. Follow me." Hiei starts to slowly walk towards the hotel. The two dog demons following him.

"Tsukiko!" Shippo walks over to the bathroom door. "Tsukiko are you still alive in there?" When there is no reply he grips the door handle. "Well since it's so quiet and I know there's two of you in there… let's see how close you two have gotten in the past several minutes!" He rips the door open without warning. "Now Tsukiko - ..." He pauses as he sees Youko and Kagome fall to the floor, in a very… compromising position. "… AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" The world grows dark as he falls over in shock.
