Chapter 7

Female Stupidity?

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, Yu Yu, or Inu


After that rather embarrassing display of female stupidity, the four demons eventually continued on their way, now dragging the human now known as Kuwabara, thanks to Yukina's connections. He was being toed none too lightly by Inuyasha, who after many threats had finally admitted temporary defeat when Kagome threatened to put a rosary on a certain piece of anatomy. They eventually found their way to the check-in station and were just about to head into the training area when a shocked male voice reached their ears.

"Yukina!" the voice called, followed by several others. Kagome and Yukina turned and spotted the other three members of the spirit detectives. (An: Yes, Kagome knows about the spirit detective. She's lived in the Makai the past year and heard about a certain dark tournament.) Yukina was shocked to see it was Hiei who had spotted her first and was now staring with eyes almost bulging out of his head. She frowned internally. Since when did Hiei ever call out anyone's name, let alone hers. Nonetheless she smiled as a weird-looking group of people made their way towards the four demons and one knocked out human idiot.

"Hello, Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke," Yukina spoke in her soft voice, while glancing curiously at the tall, black-haired male who accompanied her friends. "How have you guys been?"

"Yukina!" Yusuke called enthusiastically. He was happy to see her. She'd been living with Genkai for the past couple months and he'd grown to like her as one of his friends. She was a very sweet and kind individual. Kurama smiled also. Perhaps she'd come here to find her brother again. Too bad, Hiei was too stubborn to tell her who he was.

When the four finally reached them, Yukina was bombarded with curious stares and questions.

"Hello, Yukina, how are you?" Kurama asked, always polite. He glanced to the side and noticed two other males and a female. He could sense that the two males were demons, very strong dog youkai, if he had to make a guess. But the female, he took a moment to study her, he couldn't quite place. But she was definitely a demon, although she was in human form.

"I'm fine Kurama, it's nice to see you again."

"Who are your friends, Yukina?" Yusuke asked, grinning. He could also tell they were demons and was getting excited. This tournament really was turning out better than expected. Hiei too was curious, but was more curious as to why she was here in the first place....and looking like she was going to fight. He wasn't so sure he liked the idea of his little sister fighting. He hoped that wasn't the case. Besides, she was too innocent to be a fighters....wasn't she?

"Hello, Hiei," Yukina greeted.

"Yukina," he responded coolly, though he was sure his heart was going to burst any moment. She always made him feel so calm and peaceful.

She turned back to the whole gang. "This is my friend, Kag....," she stopped when Kagome nudged her and shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Yukina, please don't tell them our names. We are very well known and we don't want anyone to know we are here yet."

The others were suspicious when Yukina suddenly broke off in the middle of introductions. It almost looked like the two were communicating through their minds. "I'm Kage," Kagome spoke finally, her voice surprising a few individuals. It was cool and calm, yet innocent and sweet. "And these are my brothers, Nishi (West-Inuyasha) and Toru (Sess)."

"Br, brothers?" Yusuke asked, puzzled. Then he started laughing. "Ningen what is so funny?" Sesshomaru demanded, while Kagome glared at him for the human comment.

"Oi, nothing you arrogant ass," Yusuke glared back. "It's just that you guys don't look anything alike. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stared at him like he had lost his head. They didn't look like each other. Everyone always said they looked so much alike, apart from the doggy ears and fluffy's tale. "No, you moron, I meant Kage or whoever she is."

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha rolled their eyes. "Baka!" Inuyasha growled. "She's our adoptive sister." He turned away while muttering. "Ningens, they get dumber every century."

"Oi, what was that, dog boy!" He and Inuyasha were about to go for each other's throats, when Kurama reached out and grabbed Yusuke by the shoulder, knowing how explosive yusuke's temper could be. Sensing the inevitable sit coming on, Inuyasha's ears flattened to the side of his head, expecting to meet his friend soon. When it didn't happen, he stopped cringing wondering what the deal was. He turned around to spot Kagome bent over laughing her ass off.

"What the hell!" He exclaimed. Has she gone mental? Kagome was laughing so hard she had tears falling from her eyes and she was gasping for breath. He started to get angry. Was she laughing at him? Somehow he had to get her attention.

"Oi, woman, what the hell is your problem," he demanded. Everyone else was staring at the spectacle known as Kagome and unfortunately he went about getting her attention the wrong way.

She immediately stopped laughing and got up with the help of Sess and simply muttered a quiet, "sit, boy," effectively raising his temper and making everyone else laugh.

Kagome noticed everyone was staring at her, even the cute red-haired boy....wait, cute boy? Er, Kagome, you're losing it, she told herself. She was blushing now. "Er, sorry, it was just I thought Inuyasha's mouth was bad. I didn't know he had a twin," she said nodding to Yusuke who was still glaring at the prone form of the fallen dog hanyou. She turned back to Yukina. "Now, darling, who are these boys?"

Yukina smiled, her friend could be so strange at times. But she loved her for it. "Kage, this Kurama," she pointed to the read head who regarded her curiously, and Kagome flushed at the intenseness of his gaze, "Hiei," she nodded towards the fire apparition leaning on a tree beside the older male, Vegeta. He simply snorted and turned away at her curious gaze, "And Inuyasha's twin there is Yusuke Urameshi. The others I don't know." She glanced curiously at the make from before and was shocked to find him gazing at her an intense look in his eyes and she blushed. Gohan noticed her blush and smirked outwardly. He was amused when she immediately stopped blushing and glared. He continued to smirk confidently at her.

"Wait, did you say Urameshi?" Kagome asked, shocked.

"Yeah, what of it?" Yusuke demanded turning to the woman staring at him in wonder.

"Gee, cousin, I didn't think it had been that long since we've seen each other."

Yusuke stared. "Wait, Kag..." he stopped at her warning glare, "K-Kage. Wow! I haven't seen you in forever." He ran over and embraced her earning, two growls from her demon protectors. She rolled her eyes. They always acted like this. "What are you doing, here, cousin, I thought you were in the Makai. Last time we talked you didn't think you could make it," he whispered in her ear. (AN: Yes, Yusuke knew about his cousin and the Shikon no Tama and knew she was living in the Makai for a time. He knows she can fight and he was the one who invited her to come and fight in this tournament. However, he does not know she is a demon. She knows everything about him, including him activating his demon blood.)

The others were watching curiously, none more curious than Kurama.

"You know you want her," Yoko's voice cut in.

"Yeah. Wait, no I don't."

"Ha, ha, too late, Kurama. You forget I'm you. I know what you're thinking."

(You have to admit she is rather cute, Kurama) Suiichi agreed.

(Uh, Kurama.)

"Kurama?"

".....sorry, it's just....this is the first time Suiichi has ever agreed with anything you say, Yoko,"

"Kurama," an outside voice shattered his mental war of old.

Yusuke was waving a hand in front of his face. "Sorry, Yusuke, what was it you were saying?" Kurama asked, noticing Kage was beside him, peering at him curiously.

Yusuke smirked. "I was just introducing you to my cousin, Kage,"

Kurama blinked, and as did Yoko and Suiichi. "Cousin?"

"Cousin?"

(Cousin?)

Kagome giggled and it brought a smile to Kurama's face. After all, he didn't need to know she was a telepath and picked up on his mental conversation which she found very amusing. Although she did wonder if it got a little stuffed in there as it was. She completely understood. In some ways they were already more alike than she cared to admit at the moment and she had barely met the guy. This was going to be intersting.

"It's very nice to meet you, Kage," he spoke deeply and pleasantly, while taking her hand and kissing it, his finger brushing over her knuckles and sending a slight shiver up her spine.

What was that? she asked herself.

She giggled again and turned her face away blushing heatedly. "It's nice to meet you as well, Kurama," she lowered her voice and leaned in closer to his ear. He couldn't help but let out his own shiver as her breath embraced his neck, causing the hairs to stand on end. "Or should I say, Yoko Kurama."


Well, I've decided to end there 'cause I haven't decided where to go to next. It's hard when you have all these characters to write in. Anyway, later the only main characters will be:

Kagome, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, Yukina, Gohan, Goku, Mirai Trunks, and Vegeta. I will be leaving the rest of the human members of the z gang at the tournament and also Kuwabara. Shippo will be in sometimes but I'll keep him at the tournament with Goten and Chibi Trunks. Lets see, I doubt I'll add in Sango or Miroku but their will be some reverences to these two characters.

Also, yes I'm going to throw in Mirai Trunks in there somewhere, because I love him (he's so hot) and Gohan needs a saiyan friend his age, like Goten and chibi Trunks.

Well, thanks for reviewing, and look for more updates. I'll be updating rapidly as long as I don't get too many brain farts.

Japanese words I might decide to use:

Hai-Yes

Youkai-Demon

Hanyou-Half-breed

Demi-Quarter

Miko-Priestess

Kawaii-Cute

Arigatou-Thank you

Houshi-Priest

Taijiya-Demon slayer

Kitsune-Fox

Imouto-Little sister

Otouto-Little brother

Mirai-Future

Ai shiteru-I love you

Ano-Well?

Baka-Idiot

Chibi-Small

Demo-But

Domo-Very much

Eto-Hmmm

Gomen naise-I'm very sorry

Hentai-Pervert

Hime-Princess

Well, that's just a few. I'll add in a few later. You'll probably see some of these words and phrases a couple times when I remember, but most of you probably know a lot of them if you read a lot of stories with Japanese in them.
