She was going to pound on someone.
Spandex?! Red and white spandex?!
"It is not spandex."
"Then what is this?" she tried to take hold of the material of her shirt, but it was rather form fitting.
"It is the same youkai silk that my own garments were made of five centuries ago." taking in the stoic male before her in, Kagome could only raise a brow as her memories of times not so long ago for her brought said garments to the fore front of her mind.
"Well... at least I know it'll last." then there was also self cleaning, self repairing and that it could withstand pretty much... everything. "But... why am I wearing this to begin with?"
This was the red and white... silk. High collar sleeveless white top, white sleeves that left her shoulders free, red archer gloves over said sleeves, red silk pants with white knee high boots. She felt like a living candy cane... or a walking first aid kit.
Sesshoumaru's voice brought her out of her thoughts. "There is a rogue youkai that has escaped to the States, you are to go there and retrieve them."
"And I'm to do it as... a super-hero. Why?" brows furrowed on trying to figure out of he had finally gone insane with old age.
"The humans over there are more accepting of super-heros than beings of supernatural origins."
Nodding her head, Kagome accepted the belt and mask that had been pushed across the desk towards her. Strapping the belt on, and placing the mask around her eyes, she pinched her brows a bit at the unusual sensation of wearing the article. Though the action was hindered because of said mask.
Taking a few more moments to adjust to the feeling, she then struck, what she thought, was a heroic pose. "How do I look?"
"...acceptable."
"Hey! You're the one making me wear this!" she slammed a hand down on the desk between the two of them.
She was quick to learn, that glaring at a person from behind a mask... not as effective as one thought.
"You know what... just tell me the details." she was instead handed a file for her to read through while Sesshoumaru stood up and directed her to where she was supposedly getting her weapons, supplies and meeting her partner.
"Kirara!" Kagome practically tossed the files back at Sesshoumaru and hugged the two tailed youkai cat.
Said cat purred loudly under Kagome's affection. "So, bring the youkai back alive. And when do we depart?"
"As soon as you have your supplies."
Said supplies consisted of some medical supplies, sutras and ofudas, and of course her bow and arrows. Then without further chit chat, Kagone mounted Kirara and the two were off towards America. Considering the large ocean between Tokyo and America, she thought it would take forever, however, it seemed Kirara gained quite the amount of speed in the last five centuries.
Kagome enjoyed the feeling flying with Kirara, it was what she thought freedom felt like. Observing the city from her Kirara's back, Kagome looked for place they could land.
"That looks like a good spot." pointing to a tall building that stood in the heart of the city, she smiled when Kirara let out a roar and began her decent. Jumping down onto the rooftop, petting Kirara. Nearing the edge, she was just about to push her senses out to locate any stray youkai when an explosion sounded not to far from where she was located.
"Well... that was fast." dropping her hands, she scratched the back of her head. Maybe this would go by just as quickly and she'd be home sooner than she thought. Just in time to study for her next test.
"Ready girl?" receiving a roar, Kagome mounted Kirara and headed in the direction of the explosion.
She was not expecting the sight when she arrived, Kagome could only blink. She was here to bring back -that- youkai?!
It was massive!
And the actual samurai armor it wore, seemed to only make it bigger and all that much more fierce. When it swung down it's weapon, flames quickly ignited along the blade of the sword creating a whip-life effect that was aimed directly at a group of teen... super-heroes.
It took a few moments, before she shook herself out of her shock and decided join into the fray. Sesshoumaru wanted this guy back in Japan, so she was going to drag him back. Kicking and screaming if she had too.
Readying her bow, she pulled an arrow and let it go, watching as her miko-ki neutralized the flames. It stopped the attack long enough for her to jump from Kirara's back and land before the group. Readying another arrow, Kagome stared the oni down.
"Cease and desist. By orders of the Youkai Court, you are ordered to return to Japan and receive judgment." she pulled on her drawn arrow just a little more as well as narrowing her eyes as best she could behind her mask.
The oni paused for a moment before letting out deep roaring laughs that had Kagome pinching her lips in irritation.
"So be it." releasing the arrow, she watched as it flew towards it's target, she let a low growl loose when the oni merely knocked it away.
Seeing the oni prepare another swing of it's blade, Kagome widened her stance and brought her bow before her to stop the oncoming flames.
"Does anyone understand what she's talking about?!" Beast Boy asked as he stood up and dusted his knees off.
"The Youkai Court is an ancient council of demonic and supernatural beings that govern the supernatural world back in Japan." Raven answered as she hovered and observed the proceedings. "Which means, she is here to retrieve this rogue."
The others could only blink as the mysterious new person battle the giant, easily able to hold her own.
Whenever she got pushed back far enough, she'd use her arrows, when she was within reach, she'd use her bow itself as if it were a staff or blade. Either way of how she handled her weapon, it was always glowing.
After being pushed back yet again, Cyborg decided to speak up. "Think it's time to step back in?"
"I can't." Raven, moved to dodge some flying debris but was quick to turn her attention back to the fight taking place. "Her abilities would only neutralize my own. If not harm me."
"What do you mean?" Starfire questioned as she floated closer to the other girl on their team.
"My own powers are demonic, hers are holy. They would only clash and harm the both of us."
Starfire gasped at the information and promptly wrapped her arms around her dearest friend. The fact that Raven was speaking so calmly about these facts, and out in the open with the person that could potentially harm their team mate, so calmly that it was a little nerving.
"Alright. Raven you sit on the sidelines in case anything happens. The rest, Teen Titans, go!" with their team leader's go-ahead, the rest sprung into action.
Though usually whenever they did that, things tended to get a little, messy. Due to the fact that they weren't coordinated or they couldn't anticipate a strangers moves and vise-versa. That, or the person just -really- didn't work well with teams.
But what surprised them, was that this person easily slipped into the ability to work with them and just not around them. It was making things a lot easier, that is, until the opponent pulled something that apparently upset her.
"This has gone on far enough..."
She ducked under a wide swing to get behind their common foe, spinning her bow a couple of times before she brought it down on the enemie's head. During the shock of receiving the blow, the girl reached around the samurai helmet and pulled at something. In an instant, a cloud of smoke appeared.
The moment it cleared, they were shocked to see the girl shaking a person and yelling in their face.
"What the heck was all this?! Look at the damage! What if someone got hurt?! Shippo, you have 30 seconds to explain to me what all this was before I pound you!"
"Whoa. She's angry." Beast Boy muttered.
Robin spoke up. "Which makes me wonder what just happened."
"Listen will-"
"I could have hurt you!"
"Hear me-"
"Not to mention scaring all these people with that horrid illusion of yours!"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!"
The girl reared back, hands clutched to her chest. After a few moments of dazed silence, the girl returned to normal stance as she scratched the back of head. "Sheesh, no need to bite my head off."
The opponent, a male around his early 20's heaved deeply for a few moments before taking a deep breath and righted himself. Running a hand through his shock of orange hair. It was then they realized how... normal he looked, though the girls would have stated otherwise.
They were awestruck by the handsome male's appearance. Orange hair pulled in a low, short pony-tail, bright green eyes, and he wore a blue t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
"How else am I to get in edgewise?" he stood up, dusting himself down. Once he deemed himself presentable, he threw the girl a mischievous smirk. "But you have to admit, that was fun."
"Still doesn't explain what this was all about."
"Relax Miko, he was under my orders."
The girl stiffened and slowly turned towards the newest speaker, obviously not happy at hearing said voice. The girls also turned to the new speaker, their awestruck state only increasing.
"Sesshoumaru... you have -10- seconds to explain yourself. And it better be good."
"Is it just me... or do you totally feel left out?" Beast Boy scratched the back of his head.
"Man, I'm just as lost." Cyborg admitted.
They returned their attention to the three, lost to the entire situation.
"It was a test."
"A test? I have a test at the end of the week, and I'd very much like to pass it." with that the girl spun around to face them, a bright, if not somewhat sheepish smile in place.
"I'd like to apologize for any inconvenience those two have caused. And that they will be paying for the repairs to any damage done because of said inconvenience." with that she bowed in their direction, ignoring 'Shippo's' distraught cry about paying for damage repair.
She turned to Sesshoumaru with a sickeningly sweet smile. "I would watch your back if I were you. I happen to have a reliable source for glittery pink hair dye."
The subtle threat caused the boys to shiver in fear. Glancing towards the girls, their shivers only grew more intense with how... plot worthy the girls appeared.
"You want to fight boredom? Then find yourself a hobby, one that doesn't involve annoying me. Either that, or find yourself a girlfriend." Kagome waved from over her shoulder as she walked past the confused team. "Ready to go home Kirara?"
A soft mew was her answer as a tiny kitten began to follow after the girl. The team members were drawn in by the adorable appearance, Beast Boy leaning down with his hands planted on his knees to get a closer look.
"Aw, hey there little guy. Aren't you the cutest... two tailed kitten... that I've ever seen." said kitten paused in following the girl to look up at the green skinned boy, tilting her head with a soft mew.
A sudden burst of flames from the tiny kitten had Beast Boy letting out a surprised cry as he threw himself back from the sudden flames. He wasn't the only one.
"What the-? What type of cat is..." Cyborg was having trouble mentally following what he was seeing.
A roar sounded in the air around them, and when the flames receded leaving a giant saber toothed tigress in the kitten's place. She let out a rumbling sound as she stalked a quickly backwards crawling Beast Boy.
"E-easy there girl! Nice... saber tooth tiger!"
Kagome had already made her way towards the scene with a smile on her face. "Looks like Kirara likes you."
If to make her words true, when Kirara was finally face to face with Beast Boy, a rough pink tongue swiped up half of his face.
"Awww, looks like you finally got yourself a girlfriend BB!" Cyborg snickered as they all watched the giant cat nuzzle into Beast Boy's face and neck.
"Must be your animal magnetism." Raven chuckled, it was an interesting sight to see, their changeling teammate being cuddled by a demonic cat. While Starfire watched the proceedings, cooing and awing the large feline.
"Man! Get this thing off of me!" Beast Boy squirmed under the affectionate attention of a giant two tail saber toothed tigress.
"Come on Kirara, leave the kid alone."
Said cat let out one rumbling purr as she backed up and turned away, making sure to pretty much slap the poor boy in the face with her tails. Half his face was lathered in saliva that now held cream colored fur while his hair was even more disheveled.
"I'm not a kid!" Beast Boy called out, going to wipe his face, though his face pulled as if he had sucked on a lemon. "Ewww!"
He shook his hand, trying get rid of the saliva and fine furs. He let out another disgusted cry when a glob of saliva dropped onto his face, reminding him he still had to clean up that mess as well, the one that was his new hair style.
"Sorry about that. Kirara... doesn't get to have as much fun as she used to." Kagome ran a hand through the fur atop the nekomata's head, running it down to her shoulders before repeating the pattern.
A somewhat gravely feminine voice spoke up, a question easily heard in her statement. "You're a miko, yet you willingly socialize with those of demonic kind."
Kagome looked towards the cloaked girl, cocking her head to the side as she took in the wary eyes that shined from beneath the hood. "I'm not your conventional miko. I don't judge based on what one is, but who one is. Besides, I have many friends that are more than... human. All of which are of good character."
Raven watched to the two that stood before the group. A miko partnered with a nekomata. It was rare, but there were legends of a few special miko that worked along side with youkai to fight true evil. Seeing the two, as well as how this miko interacted with the two youkai that were not surprisingly gone, perhaps it was to say she was one of these exceptional mikos.
Sesshoumaru watched from a safe distance with the kitsune at his side, on how the miko interacted with the group of youths that called themselves super-heroes.
"Ya know, she does have a point. It's high time you got yourself a partner." Shippo smirked at the low growl and glare that were shot his way.
Clearing his throat, Shippo decided to get onto a safer topic. "So... I'm still at a loss as to why you pulled this off."
"It'll do not only the miko good and those as well, but the world as a whole." Sesshoumaru commented.
"She'll still get you for doing all of this, so I really would watch your back if I were you." the comment left Shippo with a hint of suppressed joy.
"Hn." Sesshoumaru turned around and began to walk away. "I'm not the only one that had her go through with that test."
"True... But she loves me! She wouldn't do anything to me." Shippo glance behind him to quickly observe the group still talking amongst themselves, he shivered when he noticed that Kagome was watching him with a certain... gleam about her.
"She wouldn't do anything... right? Right?!" Shippo ran after the inu lord, not noticing how Kagome smirked.
Kagome was enjoying learning about these... Teen Titans. Perhaps being friends with these heroes wouldn't be so bad. She could only hope managing her life and helping the Teen Titans would go a lot better than it had while she had been time hopping.
AN: I... actually forgot all about this one. Well, hope you enjoy it nonetheless!
