Chap. 10

"What in the hell is the Shikon no Tama?" Yuske all but shouted into her face. "And how in the hell do you know my cousin mutt boy!?"

"Watch it Yurameshi!" Inuyasha bared his fangs in Yusuke's direction.

"You guys chill. Inuyasha is an..old friend and the shikon no tama is...uh... a jewel of sorts and it was passed down through time and guarded by miko's"

"Uh huh and what does guarding the shikon no tama entail exactly?" Yusuke ground out.

"Well not much. I mean just keep it pure and untainted and ..uh.. keep it from falling into evil hands. So its really kinda easy in this day and age...unless you fall into a well thats actually a time portal...thing and then you accidently shatter the jewel into like a bazillion pieces. so then you have to get all the pieces back from demons who may or may not want to kill you because just a shard of the jewel could double your power." Kagome laughed nervously while she tugged on a lock of hair that had fallin over her shoulder.Forgive me but your making no sense Higurashi-san" Kurama said softly as her nervous blue orbs gazed at him silently he mentally commented on how adorable she looked nervous and then wiped it from his mind just as fast as it had came.

Kagome sighed and glanced sideways at Inuyasha. "Okay I need to start from the beginning its just really complicated! Okay two years ago i fell into the well on our property at the shrine and instead of hitting the bottom i fell through a sort of portal and ended up five hundred years in the past where I ran into Inuyasha so then when i accidently shattered the jewel by hitting it with an arrow. So then we had to get back all of the jewel shards ... really thats about it!" she laughed again and everyone knew she wasnt telling the whole truth but she sighed in relief when the obviously decided to let it go.

"Kagome i don't like this!" Yusuke said quietly.

"Yusuke its okay we put the jewel back together and the well is sealed its over with now and im fine!" Kagome put her hand on his shoulder in reassuarance. "Since when are you hanging out with demons yourself?!"

"what makes you think i do?"

"Please Yusuke were you listening when i said i was a miko?" Kagome said deffiantly as she put her hand on her hip.

"Im a spirit detective. its someone that keeps the demons from passing into this world and keep the bad ones from trying to take over the world you know the drill blah blah blah..."

"uh huh!"

"look Yusuke I know youve allways been very protective of me but look im done with all that now all i want to do is spend time with my little shippo and build a life for us... I wont let him grow uparound all that violence. I will protect my son." Kagome's face hardened as Yusuke squirmed uneasily at the mention of her 'son'.

As the school bells started to ring Kagome jumped and started to move in the direction of the school. "I'm sorry Yusuke I have to go i cant miss school."

Inuyasha grabbed Kagomes hand in a move that had Kurama's nerves grating on edge as he spoke quietly to her."I'll pick you up after school Kagome. we'll catch up and i would love to see shippo again."

Kagomes face was stunned for a moment at the more mature inuyasha and then she smiled warmly and nodded her head.

"Hold it your not going anywhere with my cousin dog boy!"

"What am I doing here?!" Hiei glared disdainfully down at yusuke from his perch in the tree. He watched as Yusuke struggled to pull himself up on the lowest branch of the tree.

"Cause Hiei Your all stealthy and what not! you can keep an eye on Kagome. that mutt is gonna try and get close to Kagome and its not gonna happen!" Yusuke told him as he pointed at the schoolroom window were Kagome was sitting near the window reading her history book unaware of the survellance team outside.

"Look Inuyasha has more legends about his violence than most of the demons we face. She is not getting involved with him!"

"hn. I dont care."

"I know you dont short stuff but i do! so keep an eye on Kagome you ass!"
