Chimeiteki no Bijo
"Regular" Speech
'Italics' Thoughts
Summary: Kagome has been possessed by Naraku and has murdered all of her friends and family with her own hands. After she kills Naraku, she returns to the future and becomes the cold hearted assassin named Chimeiteki no Bijo only to be chased by the reikai tantei. What happens when they find out she is not your average normal human being as everyone thought, but the only daughter and currently the heir of her father… the devil… IYYYH x-over…
"If it wasn't for the possibility of endangering the mission my father gave to us then I swear I would have murdered you a thousand times over." Kagome threatened to Kuronue as they were approaching the fairly large estate. You see, Kagome wasn't in a very good mood today. She actually was having a very bad day. It all started with finding out her mother was the legendary Tamamo-no-Mae, that's not exactly bad but it's the fact that she can't figure out why they would try to mislead her by saying it was Yuki-onna instead. I mean seriously, you can get the father incorrect but you should know who the correct mother is if she is screaming and swearing and at the same time squeezing the hell out of the nearest person's hand all the while conceiving a child. Multitasking some would say, while the fathers whom had to deal with this would say madness.
The next thing she was furious about was the fact that nobody -neither Takeo nor Kuronue- told her that they were doing the mission today or better yet, now. She could have prepared more instead of having been surprised all the while chasing after the senile bat whom had no sense of preservation in her opinion. Finally, the last thing that had driven Kagome over the edge was the fact that Takeo had used his charms and some how convinced her to 'look the role'… She was a woman whom was prideful not only in her appearance –not to appear vain or anything- but dignity as well, to which was being squashed right now...
Being that she had no other means of releasing her anger in a convenient and constructive way she began threatening the bat walking besides her. "I would watch my back closely once this whole deal is completed if I were you." Kuronue merely smirked at her words, knowing Kagome wouldn't really kill him; after all, he is currently her only teacher besides Takeo, whom cannot teach her all of the things only he, Kuronue, specializes in. Besides, she has barely skimmed the top of all of her training for the next couple years possibly and still has quite a bit of training left to cover. So there was no possible way that she would catch him off guard… But then again, Kuronue flinched slightly as he recalled what she had done to him once she had caught up to him right after they had left the portal from Jigoku.
He practically shuddered at what the petite satanic woman -literally- was currently thinking of doing to him once they had completed the mission. It most likely about – "Kuronue, stop staring of into space, we are almost there and we don't want to have them thinking that you are retarded." Kagome whispered into his ear as she tiptoed to reach, which of course made Kuronue smirk, thinking on her new appearance. You see, Takeo believed that when someone sees the black stripes on her cheek and if they recognize it and tell Takahashi the mission would get that much harder. So they had one of the souls in Jigoku, whom was a kitsune, to perform an illusion on her making her black stripes, markings on her arm disappear for the moment and turned her eyes blue, thus making her seem less commanding and instead deceptively fragile-like. Of course that was not the only thing they did to her appearance though, they had both decided that her kimono was a bit too conservative, which is not what they wanted if this was to go smoothly.
Their goal was to have her seduce Takahashi enough to have him ask Kuronue to 'borrow' her from him for the remainder of the day and if not then bring her back the next meeting, thus giving her time to do the remainder of the job with Takeo nearby -most likely outside the door since Kuronue standing there would look suspicious- incase anything went wrong.
Kuronue looked down at Kagome and praised his work; she did look a bit more… open -literally- then before, especially with his adjustments to her attire, such as opening the top part up more, letting it hang from her shoulders slightly, showing off her collar bone/part of her shoulders and some of her chest –still covering anything considered indecent but still would have been forbidden in the older days, even if it was only about three or so inches from her collar bone- and he also tightened her kimono a tad bit which emphasized her curves in his opinion. If only this wasn't for the sake of the mission then he would- "Kuronue! I can practically hear your thoughts! Get your damn mind out of the gutter or I shall not hesitate to castrate you right this minute," Kagome threatened venomously, it was practically obvious to Kuronue that someone was having their special time of month right now. "We are here, so start paying attention." Kagome mumbled under her breath as the guards let the duo inside by opening the grand mahogany doors where just coming out of a nearby room the same youkai they had seen in Inu no Taisho's room, also known as 'Takahasi', appeared.
"Ah, Murayama-san, it's a pleasure to meet you," Takahashi stated as he bowed to 'Murayama' whom in return bowed slightly lower due to the fact that Takahashi was the lord of the house. A second later Takahashi switched his gaze from the koumori to Kagome whom was standing closely to Kuronue with her head bowed to the ground. "Yes, and who would this lovely woman be?" Takahashi asked as he eyed Kagome up, apparently happy with what he saw. "This," Kuronue began as he snaked his arm around Kagome's waist -much to her distaste, but she played along anyways by moaning softly as she rubbed her cheek against his shoulder blade (he's taller than her by a head or so) in a way that Takahashi had not missed- in a proud manner, "is one of my personal tayu, (1) and only my best, Sayuri."
Takahashi seemed to have a certain gleam in his eyes but he turned to one of his servants and told them to bring some sake to the business room. "If you would please follow me," Takahashi said as he led them through the palace to a room which had cherry wood walls and floor with simple decorations, such as four black leather couches facing each other, creating a square, and several lamps here and there and a rather large bookcase (it stretched across one entire wall and all the way to the ceiling) which housed thousands of books and scrolls.
Sitting down on one of the couches Takahashi watched lustfully as Kuronue sat down first and pulled 'Sayuri' into his lap and began stroking her hair with one hand and holding her firmly against his chest with the other, causing her kimono to fall a bit lower… Kuronue of course didn't miss the lustful glance and neither did 'Sayuri' so she decided to play along a bit, hoping to be done with this mission as soon as possible. So she bent her head down and placed kisses along Kuronue neck, 'This mission better work.' Kagome though venomously as Takahashi clear his throat and say, "Murayama-san, so you are saying you wish to make a deal with me regarding my lands?" Takahashi asked, wanting to distract himself from the erotic scene before him which was making him feel a tad bit uncomfortable. "Yes, I wanted to know what you would wish in return for 20 acres on the eastern section of your lands." Kuronue stated as a servant handed Takahashi a large glass of sake, and then asked him to which to be polite grabbed one and took a sip before placing it down on a nearby table.
After finishing off his glass and grabbing another Takahashi said, "That's a decent amount of land you are asking for. You could pay me in several different ways, whether yen, gold, metals … or other services perhaps…" Takahashi said as he looked lustfully at Kagome and then back at Kuronue who had a smirk and said, "…How about I offer you my lovely Sayuri for a bit in exchange for it. Certainly no youkai can resist this tempting vixen I have here on my lap." Takahashi looked tempted but still slightly unsure so Kuronue added, "Better yet, if you give me 30 acres I'll give you Sayuri."
It appeared that Takahashi was hooked and said "Deal, you may have 30 acres from my eastern section and in return I shall have a head mistress for my vast collection." Takahashi then gave Kuronue some sort of a scroll and Kuronue walked out with a warning glance at Kagome. "Guards, you may leave, I wish to talk to Sayuri in private." As soon as the guards were out of sight Takahashi turned his attention to Kagome. "My dear Sayuri, I believe that I am your new Danna-sama for you now belong to me, as my personal head mistress…" Takahashi said once the door was shut as he stalked towards her like a hunter, and for lack of a better word, hunting his prey. Finally reaching her he hastily began untying her ties and bows from her kimono, getting all the way down to her undergarments and was about to fling them off, but not before Kagome reached behind her back and grabbed the tessen (2) hidden in between the folds of her kimono and then huskily whispered in his ear, "Danna-sama, close your eyes, for I wish to give a special surprise to you…" To which Takahashi readily agreed and Kagome then took a step back and swiftly sliced the unexpecting -and slightly drunk- Takahashi's head clean from his shoulders and watched emotionlessly as the body fell to the floor with the blood rapidly flowing. Once she took a step closer to the body and gently touched it, sending the soul traveling down to the depths of Jigoku.
Flicking the blood off from her fan Kagome swiftly closed her kimono once more and took one last look over her shoulders at the corpse, mumbling under her breath, "disgustingly pitiful" in a disdain voice before walking out of the doors to where Takeo was waiting. Silently walking together, they passed many other guards and servants whom bowed to the lady in an expensive silk kimono, believing her to be a high-class guest of the lord of the house. It had never once occurred to them that it was her to be the one whom had caused their master's death which they still have yet to notice.
Finally as they had come outside the house, past the gates, and about a good 20 meters distance within the forest they heard a shrill scream of fright, most likely that one of the maids had found the present Kagome had left for them. With a snap of his fingers the portal had opened for Takeo and Kagome and they crossed through to report their success.
"Wow, they handled that killing like it was nothing… But she did look hot…" Yusuke commented as the tape showing them the occurrence that took place earlier in the day had just finished. The tantei -plus Botan of course- looked to Koenma who mumbled, "Yet another reason why seductively beautiful women are dangerous…" The others merely agreed but Kurama was thinking mostly about the tactic they used, granted it was quite sly using their weaknesses against them in such a way but it was reasonably effective. Although he didn't expect Akutennyo-sama to even agree with doing that plan, much less even hear it. She obviously gives the impression to be the type to be disinterested or deem those whom do that pathetic. Besides feeling animosity to those with that profession she also seemed quite prideful, and by doing something like that, even if pretending to be like that was a contradiction and must have been a vast blow to her pride… She truly was a mystery, to which he and Youko had every intention to solve first…
"I still can't get over the fact that Akutennyo-sama had even agreed to or made such a plan. She strikes me as the type whom is prideful and by doing such a thing is quite a blow to her dignity. I also am wondering on the fact of why he was a specific target." Kurama voiced some of his inner thoughts as the others nodded to his observation. "Kurama is right, why was the onna going after that fool in particular?" Hiei spoke from his little corner in the back of the office, startling everyone except Kurama of course.
"That's what I want to know also, that guy also had no respect for that lady either." Kuwabara added his own two cents to the group conversation as they each thought of all of the possibilities. "Well, we must think of this from a multi-sided perspective. Why does someone kill another specially, especially with this case it seemed to be had been planned before hand. The top reasons are either to show superiority, which I highly doubt since this was more of a stealth mission, if it was about showing authority it would have been a battle in public; gain wealth, which I also find rather hard to believe because judging by her kimono I would say Akutennyo-sama already has more than enough. Finally the last but not least explanation was because he may have been considered a threat; this, I believe, is the most logical reason because I have heard some rumors while gathering seeds from Makai, that Takahashi was gaining power." Everyone seemed to be concentrating deeply as they processed his explanation, trying to piece it all together.
"So Kurama, you're saying that you believe she killed him because he was a threat? Don't get me wrong or anything but how much can a guy do to something like hell?" Yusuke asked the avatar whom was about to say something when Koenma cut him off saying, "When Jigoku was created there was no original ruler, as was the same for all of the other realms. So in order to control the inhabitants they selected one specific person for each realm to rule over it. The other realms such as Tengoku and Reikai have had their rulers forever, never had they changed, but this was not the same for Jigoku. Being that there were evil natured spirits and those who may have broken laws, there was absolute chaos with the ruler constantly replaced until of course Inu no Taisho-sama had taken over the reign as Jigoku for the past 786 years, 438 years longer than any other of the prior rulers."
"Wait, so that means…" Yusuke and Kuwabara had started but Kurama cut him off saying, "Yes, which makes him Akutennyo's father and current ruler of Jigoku. So it also explains why Takahashi was assassinated, Inu no Taisho-sama has not been ruler for so long for no reason. He is ridding himself of anyone he deems a serious enough threat as he has for the past centuries. It is quite a smart move of him to do so in his game of chess, not only is he granted with keeping such a title but also prevents unnecessary bloodshed."
"Yeah, well what do you want us to do about this?" Yusuke asked Koenma whom seemed a little more jumpy than usual. "Do you need a diaper change to help you concentrate?" He taunted, unable to resist the temptation, especially due to the fact that the expressions on the miniature ruler's face was priceless. "Yusuke! This is serious!" Koenma shouted at him, "Yeah well don't get your diapers in a twist about it." Koenma of course was already red in the face and no it was not due to blushing so Kurama stepped up and said to Yusuke, "I wouldn't call it wise to be here tempting Koenma-san when you should be on your date with Keiko which starts in 3 minutes, if I remember correctly that is." "Oh shit! Botan, can you take me back, like now?" Yusuke all but shouted at Botan whom had opened a portal to which all of the tantei left through, going back to their semi-normal lives, leaving Koenma to think about the matters at hand.
(1) Okay, a tayu is an oiran, which is like the name for someone similar to a high class courtesan in the Edo period (there are no more oirans anymore, the geisha overtook them after a while (well there are few people whom practice oiran skills still but just without the whole sex thing)). The tayu were said to be the best of the high class oiran and fit for a daimyo, only the wealthiest and highest ranking could hope to patronize them. Basically the oiran practiced in the arts of music, calligraphy, poetry, dance, and an educated wit for intelligent conversations. But do NOT get them confused with geisha though, for the oiran were courtesans, geisha do NOT have sex with their clients and entertained more of the common folk instead of the high class (unless you were a well known geisha then you would converse with the higher class). Okay, if you have any questions just ask away and I'll try to answer them… If not you could also look it up on the web.
(2) A tessen is a Japanese war fan that has iron blades instead of fragile wood most of the time and can kill with one strike if you hit precisely. It is usually used as a defense mechanism against swords and bow/arrows but can be used offensively as you have read the sentence prior.
AN. Okay, how did you guys like this chapter? Good, bad, not-bad, excellent, terrible, horrible? Please review and tell me!
Oh, and btw, this is the last chapter (unless I decide otherwise) to vote so here are the current polls:
Kurama/Youko:12
Hiei:13
Kuronue:17
Kurama/Youko/Kuronue:8
If it is still close by a point or two then I might continue this poll in the next chapter, but I have a strong feeling Kuronue will win for some reason, but it all depends on if you vote or not and who you vote for. Anyways, please review and I shall update hopefully within a couple day to a week or so. Bye! Tell me if you have any suggetions or comments! I'm with open ears here! If you also want to contact me for any reason feel free to (I dont know why but i love getting emails for some reason lol!)
