Lady Lily - I made it confusing on purpose... maybe it is Kagome, maybe it isn't

Chapter 7

'All on a search for the Balance that was once disturbed and concealed within cold ice shall you find the Heart of Gold... The Balance,' Professor Xavior thought. 'What is the Balance? Those two said it wasn't Kagome... but...'

"Professor?" Jamie asked as he shut the door.

"Yes Jamie?"

"When's Professor Kagome coming back?" he asked.

'Should i tell him?' the Professor thought as he looked at the boys hopeful eyes. 'I should... it would be the best.' "I don't know," the Professor said. "I don't know when, or if she is coming back at all," he whispered.

"But... she has to!" Jamie exclaimed.

"I'm sorry," the Professor said softly.

"This is because of those other people, isn't it! She left because of them!" Jamie started to shout.

"Jamie."

"What!" he shouted.

"Calm down. There's nothing we can do now. Kagome can come back when she chooses, or she can stay where she is right now."

"Yeah, but-"

"There is nothing i can do." Professor Xavior said as he slowly stood up. Jamie immediantly went up to him as support.

"Are you sure you should be doing this without Professor Kagome's supervision?" Jamie asked nervously.

"I have to try," Professor Xavior whispered.

"Hey, Professor?" Jamie grunted out as they made it towards the window and started to turn around.

"Yes?" the Professor panted out as his legs started to shake and he was leaning more on Jamie than before.

"What's the Balance? Is it like some balance measure thing?" Jamie asked.

"I don't know. I believe that it is some balance between the three worlds, i guess," the Professor said.

"Oh, like the balance between Good and Evil?" Jamie asked.

"Maybe."

"Or is it like the balance between violence and no violence?"

"Could be that too."

With Kagome

"Hey, Jack," Kagome said as she sensed Jack's presence inside the house.

"Yeah?"

"You might wanna fix the dojo."

"Why? What happened?"

"Some people went in there and busted it, and the students ran away." Kagome said really quickly. "Okay, now you know, bye!" she exclaimed as she tried to run away.

"Not so fast," Jack said as he grabbed the back of her collar.

"Yes?" Kagome asked.

"I have a friend that wants to meet you."

"A friend?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, when?"

"Let's go now!" Jack exclaimed as he pulled Kagome out the door.

With Inu Gang

"Hey, Sesshomaru," Inuyasha said.

"What?" he asked annoyed.

"You don't think we... made a mistake back there, did you?"

Sesshomaru scoffed. "Inuyasha, only you make mistakes. I on the other hand do not."

"Arrogant bastard." Inuyasha muttered.

"What was that?" Sesshomaru said, even though he clearly heard what Inuyasha muttered.

"nothing!"

"Good." Sesshomaru said with a slight nod of his head.

'Kagome... i hope you're alright,' Inuyasha thought.

With X-Men

"Hey, Professor," Jamie asked.

"Yes?"

"What if... the Balance was... nevermind." Jamie said.

"No, tell me."

"It's stupid."

"Maybe not."

Jamie took a deep breath. "Well, what if... the Balance, was something that kept the world in balance... like... it's..."

The Professor's eyes widened in realization. "What if the Balance was something that balanced Light and Dark." he muttered.

With Kagome

"Hey, Jack, where are we?" Kagome asked nervously, already taking in a defensive stance. She didn't like the feeling one bit, not one bit at all.

"I alreayd told you, we're going to meet a friend of mine." Jack said.

"Yes, but where are we?"

"You'll see." Jack replied.

'No, actually, i can't see Kagome thought bitterly.

"We're here!" Jack exlcaimed.

"What do you me-" Kagome started, but stopped when she was knocked in the back of the neck. 'I can't believe i didn't sense that...' Kagome thought before she faded into darkness.

With X-Men

"Professor, where are we going?" Jamie asked as he followed the Professor down the many halls of the Xavior Institute. "I need access to the computer," the professor replied quickly before he entered the code and went into the room.

"Find the location of Kagome Higurashi," the Professor said as soon as he entered the room.

"Location unknown," the computer replied.

The Professor's eyes widened a bit, before he asked again, "Search all information, whether articles, certificates, personal information, all of it on Kagome Higurashi."

"Professor, aren't you invading her privacy?" Jamie asked.

"This is crucial," the professor replied as his eyes scanned some of the information that popped up.

"Strange," the professor muttered as he clicked on a certain document, enlarging it. "That's odd." he murmured.

"What is?" Jamie asked.

"It says here in her school records that she was sick with many deadly things from the age of 15, and it ended at the end of high school... she didn't even go to college."

"Really?"

"And, on her hospital records, it shows that she was completely healthy the whole time... where could she have gone?" he asked.

"Gone?" Jamie asked.

"If she wasn't at school during long periods of times, and she most certaintly wasn't at the hospital, where could she have gone?"

"Maybe she was at home cause she didn't want to go to school!" Jamie said.

"No, i highly doubt that her mother would allow that... hmm... it says that she was raised in a shrine..." the professor said. "Jamie."

"Yes?" Jamie asked.

"I need to know what happened on the day you and Kagome went missing for a few days."

"W-what are y-you t-t-t-talking about?" Jamie asked nervously.

"Jamie, I need to know what happened. This is very crucial... very crucial."

"Well, it's just that... I can't..."

"Jamie. This is important!"

"But... but i promised!" Jamie whined

"THis is not the time for petty promises!"

"I don't know what happen, it's just that... one minute we were going to die, and then the next minute... POOF! We were somewhere in Japan! I think she has some teleporting abilited, and everything and i don't know how it happens."

"Really? So, she isn't a human?" Professor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, she's still human." Jamie said.

"Search for all legends possible with unordinary powers, or teleporting powers." Professor said.

"Professor!" Jamie whined. "You're not supossed to be snoping around!"

"Demons," the professor murmured.

"I SAID SHE WAS HUMAN!" Jamie shouted.

"Right, so that eliminates demons," the professor said. "and spirits," he added as he got rid of the said articles. "Than, there are witches and mikos."

"Why witches?" Jamie asked.

"Because witches are not necessarialy a different being. Just like mikos."

"What are mikos?"

"Mikos is the japanese term for priestesses. They are usually raised at shrines, and are completely pure hearted, unless they have been corupted by darkness, hence corupted mikos."

"Do you think she's a miko?" Jamie asked.

"That's the most likely idea."

"But if she's a miko, than why were those two demons after her?"

"'All on a search for the Balance that was once disturbed and concealed within cold ice shall you find the Heart of Gold... The Balance," the professor said.

"What?"

"That line."

"Huh?" Jamie asked as he scratched his head in confusion.

"That line. 'All on a search for the Balance that was once disturbed and concealed within cold ice shall you find the Heart of Gold... The Balance.' They're all on a search for the Balance, which from my conclusion is probably a person." Professor Xavior said.

"Yeah, and?" Jamie asked.

"The Balance was once disturbed... which means someting happend to the person that cause it to change... maybe on the outside but not the inside."

"What? You mean, like... they look different?"

"Maybe, it could be physical wise, or attitude wise, but for sure not mentally wise." the professor said.

"and this all leads to?" Jamie asked impatiently.

"I'm thinking..." the professor murmured. 'Within cold ice shall you find the Heart of Gold.' "I can't figure out the next line."

"What is it?"

"and concealed within cold ice shall you find the Heart of Gold."

"What, so they mean that we have to go to some cold place?" Jamie asked.

"Maybe, but what does that have to do with a disturbance upon a person's outside look." the professor said.

"Heart of Gold... hey, didn't Jean say something like that?"

"What?"

"Well... she said something... like... oh yeah! she said that, just because a person looked ugly and nasty and stuff on the outside, didn't mean that the person was mean and stuff on the inside... for all we know they could have a Heart of Gold." Jamie said proudly for remembering something like that.

"You're right!" the professor exclaimed as he thought about it.

"If a person changed on the outside, it could mean that the person used to be mean, and than was nice, but then that doesn't match... so maybe the person we're looking for was nice, but then something happened to cause that person to become all nasty, but it didn't mean that they really felt that way!"

"It could all just be an act!" Jamie exclaimed.

"So, then when those two demons said it couldn't be that human, because he or she was too cold. Which means," the Profesor said. "that Kagome could actually be the Balance!"

"Than that means those two chased her away!" Jamie shouted as he started to wheel the professor out of the computer room. "We've gotta go find 'em and tell 'em that we think it's Kagome and why!" Jamie shouted.

"But how do we contact them?" the professor said. "They didn't give us any way to contact them."

"Aw, man!" Jamie shouted.

Space Break

"Finally!" the tall woman exclaimed as she lifted her hands in desperation. "Now they get it!"

"Indeed," the elderly man said.

"Are you sure we can't go help her?" the woman asked.

"Yes. I am sure. We must not interfere. We can't interfere. No matter what."

"But the child is related to you! Your children, might i repeat children are going to have to go against each other!"

"And more suffering shall come to pass upon one of them," the man said as he got up and left the room.

With YYH Gang

"Hey, Urameshi." Kuwabara said as they walked around town.

"What?" Yuskue snapped.

"You... don't feel bad about what we did, with Kagome and all, do you?"

"Psh," Yuskue huffed. "Why should I? She might be the one who cause distruction upon the world!"

"But she's your cousin!" Kuwabara exclaimed.

"So!"

"What proof do you have!" Kuwabara demanded.

"Well.. why else would we have to go and watch her!" Yuskue shouted, though he still doubted himself.

"Hey guys!" Boton exclaimed as she appeared in front of the boys.

"ARGH! Boton, don't do that!" Yuskue shouted.

"Koenma wishes to see you guys," Boton said.

"Yeah, yeah... hurry it up!" Yuskue shouted as Boton opened a portal. 'The toddler better not be wrong about Kagome.'

With Kagome

'What happened?' Kagome thought as she came to. She struggled a little, when she realized that she was bound to a chair. With a sigh, she opened her eyes, when she remembered that she couldn't see.

"I see you've finally decided to join us Higurashi."

"Jack?" Kagome asked.

"The one and only," he said.

"But... why?"

"All part of my master's plan," Jack said as he left the room, and another person came in.

"So this is the other," the man murmured.

"What the heck are you?" Kagome demanded.

"You don't seem much," he said, ignoring her question as he chuckled. "but then again, appearanced are decieving... in fact i'm a perfect example, but that's right." he said with a sneer. "You can't see." he said.

"Who are you?" Kagome asked softly, but frowned when she realized she couldn't sense what he was. 'He's not human,' "What are you?" she gasped out when she felt the darkening presence.

"I'm the same as you," he said.

"A priest?" Kagome asked.

The man didn't reply for a few seconds before he let out a deep laugh. "You don't even know? You don't even know what you are? Then i'm guessing that the others still haven't found you yet..." he said, murmuring the last part. "Well, than this shall be exciting." he said as he touched Kagome's head.

"Don't touch me!" Kagome snarled as she pulled back as far as she could.

"It's so sad, isn't it, Kagome." the man murmured.

"Don't say my name!" she snapped.

"Why not Kagome? I'll give you mine," he said.

"I don't want your name!" Kagome shouted.

"Ah, well. Doesn't matter, but it's still so sad..." he said again.

"I don't care what's sa-"

"So sad, that even your closest cousin would do such a thing, isn't it?" he asked.

"What? How... how do you-"

"Your old companions," he added. "the ones that you nearly died for, would not trust you." he added.

"Stay away from me!" Kagome shouted as she tried to ignore his tauntings.

"They didn't trust you, all because you act differently. But then again, doesn't that happen, when you've traded a sense for life? Or when you deal with a man such as the one you so foolishly trusted?" he said in a small agoinizing tone.

"Shut up!" Kagome shouted as she struggled abouts the bindings. "Just shut up!" she shouted as tears began to come to her eyes.

"They didn't trust you because of your attitude," the man continued. "the one that you gained just so you could be with them once more."

"Shut you god damned mouth!" Kagome shouted as she struggled even more.

"Why should I?" he said. "After all, it's true, is it not?"

"It's all lies!" Kagome rasped out. "Everything you say is a lie." Kagome said, as she forced herself to believe that.

"Is it really? Your cousin would spy on you just because of something his boss said? You old companions distrusting you just because of an effect of the wish, that might not even be true. An imaginary effect, that was made by a wish that you made to save their lives." the man stressed the ending of that sentence as he let out a chuckle. "And what of that trade? The trade you so foolishly made to some thing you don't even know."

"No," Kagome moaned out. "No... i don't believe you.."

"Kagome, you're blind now. You were replaced, mistreated, nearly dead, and now blind, and they still don't trust you?"

"No," Kagome whispered as she felt icy hands squeeze her heart. "No," she whispered again, as the cold feeling of loneliness eveloped her.

"Yes, Kagome. It's true... you've got no one now," the man said as he put his hand on her head once more. "But I can help you," he murmured. "We're so alike, Kagome. I can help you... i can give you back your eyesight," the man said.

"What?" Kagome asked in a dazed stated as a blinding light lit the room, and Kagome could see for a moment, before it was gone.

"Join me," the man said, sugar-coating his words. "Join me, and forget about them..."

"I... I..." Kagome murmured.

With YYH Gang

"What is it toddler!" Yuskue shouted as he stormed into the office, followed by a calm Kurama, and indifferent Hiei, and a silent Kuwabara.

"I'm afraid, that we... no they were wrong, considering the matter of the Balance."

"What?" Yuskue asked, as an ice cold feeling slid down his spine, leaving him unnearved, and sweaty aroudn the collorbone.

"The thought that a Kagome Higurashi could be the one that could cause disaster upon the world was made by the Lords of Makai, who, however have a higher position that I. So i was forced to send you to do what they ordered. However, with recent findings..." Koenma said.

"Spying!" George, the ogre coughed.

"We think that Kagome is instead of the dark one, she is the Balance that we have been searching for."

"WHAT!" Yuskue shouted as the guilt immediantly washed over him. 'How could I?' Yuskue thought. 'How could i think that? This is Kagome we're talking about here.'

"And, with recent findings," Koenma started once again. "We have found that she has been captured by the dark one."

"What!" Yuskue shouted.

"She was last sited around a wrecked dojo, when she disappeared from the charts. We can't find her spiritual energy anywhere. Not in Makai, Rekai, or in the Human world. It's up to you four, to find her." Koenma said. "Good luck," he added as he opened a portal underneath them, causing them to fall thought. "DAMN YOU KOENMA!" Yuskue shouted as the portal closed.

Later On

"Damn it," Yuskue swore once more as he immediantly set about trying to find anything suspicious around the dojo. Kuwabara started digging though the remains of the dojo, while Kurama inspected the spiritual energy around the area. However, Hiei just sat there.

"Hey, shorty! Aren't you gonna help?" Kuwabara asked.

"Hn." Hiei said, not bothering to answer the bafoon.

"Hiei, get your ass up and help!" Yuskue shouted.

"Why should I?" Hiei said indifferently, not once moving.

"Because the world could go into eternal darkness." Kurama said.

"I wouldn't have a problem with that."

"Because your sister could die."

"I would protect her." Hiei replied.

"Because I NEED YOUR HELP!" Yuskue shouted.

"And that matters to me how?" Hiei said.

"Why do you hate her?" Kuwabara asked.

"What?" Kurama asked.

"Well, shorty there seems to hate Kagome. I mean, at first i thought it was because she could be a possible threat to himself and Yukina," Kuwabara started, but stopped as he thought about his beautiful Yukina.

"Get on with it!" Yuskue shouted as he hit Kuwabara on the head.

"Right, well now that we know that she's not a threat, and Hiei still hates her, then it means this is something personal!" Kuwabara said with a slight proud tone in his voice.

"So the bafoon's not that much of a bafoon after all," Hiei said. "But he's still an idiot."

"Why you! Come here and say that to my face, SHRIMP!" Kuwabara started, but Kurama stopped.

"Would you mind explaining to us?" Kurama asked as his eyes changed slightly from gold to green.

"Mind your own business, fox." Hiei said.

'Let me out, Kurama,' Youko said.

'Why, Youko?' Kurama thought.

'That's none of your business.' Youko replied as he started to struggle against Kurama.

"Forget you," Yuskue said as he went back to looking.

With Inu Gnag

"Sesshomaru," Inuyasha said as he stopped his half-brother.

"What?" he demanded.

"We left Shippou there," Inuyasha said.

"Fine," Sesshomaru said with a sigh as he opened a portal allowling both him and Inuyasha to return to the Xavior Institute.

As soon as they entered the building, Jamie came bounding down the stairs. "Thank god you two came back! We found about the Balance, and the Professor needs to talk to you!" Jamie shouted as he shoved them into the comptuer room.

"Ah, it's a good thing you two arrived," the professor said as he faced them. "I think you've mistaken something about the Balance."

"I don't make mistakes," Sesshomaru said.

"That phrase. The one where it says:

'All on a search for the Balance

that was once disturbed

and concealed within cold ice

shall you find the Heart of Gold'

"Yeah, so what about it?" Inuyasha asked.

"We think that the person is just pretending to be different," the professor said as he proceeded to explain what he and Jamie found.

"So, then the Balance really is Kagome." Inuyasha said as his eyes widened.

"And we lost her," the professor added in a worried tone.

"What?" Sesshomaru asked.

"We've tried tracking her down on the computer, but it's like she doesn't exist!" Xavior said. "We last had her around the dojo that was terminated a day or two ago when her energy signal disappaeared." he said as he turned around to find that the two had disappeared. "Demons," Xavior murmured.
