AN: I'v been feeling sick lately. And, as a side note I write my Authors Notes in the beginning, then add another at the end. Its very useful.

Ok. I know who Jin is now. I'v been watching the episodes in the exact order I'v been writing at. I'v gone over and over the same spots, so I noticed that Jin is the Wind boy. And, I read the reviews, so I thank all those who pointed out who it was! Lol, I felt kinda stupid for not remembering him, Hes one of my favorites. I just know him, personally…., as the "cute pointy earned English fly boy!" lol, jk. Anyways, I realize some of you may not like the way this is going, but just wait. This was a filler. I got tired of writing a paly-by-play of the fights, so I changed it slightly. I hope no one minds.}

Walking through the halls Kagome conversed with her…inner self.

'Emerald, I don't get it. Why do I get all…jumpy when I'm around Kurama?' She was genuinely confused on this matter. She had never even been this jumpy around Inuyasha, and the fact that she hardly knew Kurama just made it that much more confusing.

'I'm not sure on this myself. But, I do know that, female kitsune feel very playful and shy around the males of the species. The same is true for youkai. I was looking for a mate when that shard somehow ended up in me.' Emerald stated, trying to make Kagome understand.

'Oh. And, when are you going to leave my body?' Kagome asked, trying to quell her unease about instincts taking over her without her knowledge.

'Maybe a day more. I'm getting more energy recently, its possibly because you're a miko.' Emerald replied, an internal shrug showing she wasn't positive.

'That soon? And wouldn't my being a miko make it take longer for you to recuperate?' Kagome turned a corner, hearing faint sounds of the fight going on. Its sounded like it had just gotten good.

Emerald nodded. 'While you being a miko would do that, It seems that you are not fully miko. You have some demon in you. I bet, once I leave your body, you'll know what half of you is…'

Kagome stopped moving, speechless. 'I…I'm part demon?'

'It would appear so, I can't think of any other reason as to why your body would actually help mine regenerate…'

While Kagome digested that piece of information she didn't notice a large ogre approaching her from behind.

"Hey there, little human."

Shrieking Kagome spun around, her heart beating a mile a minute. The ogre was huge, green, and slimy. 'Ew' It was covered in shorts, but not very good ones. "What do you want?"

"Just a bit of fun before I rejoin my mate." Was its reply, making Kagome want to gag. It's breath stunk to high heaven!

"Well look somewhere else, I'm not up for grabs!"

"Nah, I don't think so. You're going to give me some fun whether you like it or not." Kagome wrinkled her nose at the disgusting creature.

'Kagome, let me try something…' Kagome mentally shrug and nodded, jumping around and away from the grabbing fingers of the ogre.

A tingling sensation went through Kagome's body before a being started to fad into existence infront of her. The being had long auburn hair, an auburn tail… "Emerald!?"

She turned around and smirked, before turning back to the ogre. "you, piece of filth, shall die." After those simple words Emerald used her claws and slashed the ogre in half, letting the two sides fall to the floor with a dull thump.

"What…How…" Kagome stuttered, looking at Emerald in astonishment.

"I had gathered enough energy." Emerald responded, grinning.

"But…you said tomorrow!?" Kagome whispered, still gaping at her friend.

Emerald nodded and pulled her hair back, using a plant to keep it there. "I did say that, but I wasn't counting on you powering up. I might have stolen some of your power…." She shrugged sheepishly, but Kagome just waved it away.

"So, um….what does this mean?"

"I'm not sure." Emerald pursed her lips and walked forward. "I have to get back to my time some how. The Koenma should be able to do it. Or Botan, she could easily do it."

Kagome was saddened at this new development. "But, what about the tournament?"

Emerald was silent a moment while she just stared at Kagome. Finding what she wanted she smirked. "You'll do fine. I can smell your other half. It's a kitsune. Here, follow my instructions. Close your eyes." Kagome closed them after a moments hesitation. "Take a deep breath." Again, Kagome did as instructed. "Now, look inside yourself. You should see a cage like structure. Make yourself walk to it. Then open it."

Kagome envisioned herself walking to a cage, and using her swords to open it. A gust of air washed over her, and Kagome gasped before opening her eyes. She saw Emerald smirking at her and nodding her head, and Kagome was curious. "Did I do it?"

Nodding Emerald grabbed Kagome's hand and led her to a reflective window. There, staring back at them, and a black hair fox girl with silver eyes. She had the fox ears, and one tail. Looking down at herself Kagome was in shock. She was beautiful.

"See? You'll be fine!" Kagome nodded, shocked to silence. "Now, lets go back. You may want to turn back into your human form."

Kagome gazed at her, wordlessly asking for help on doing that.

"Just….um…." Emerald tilted her head before shrugging. "Do the opposite?"

Kagome rolled her eyes before doing the opposite. Really, it wasn't very creative!

"Ok. Now, we go and get Botan to take you back. Right?" Kagome asked.

"Right! I want to get home, so I can look for a mate from MY time. Kurama is a nice fox, but I want a mate in my time, thank you very much." Kagome giggled at the snooty pose Emerald took upon saying that.

Together that walked back towards the arena, Kagome in her own outfit, while Emerald was wearing the kimono and hakama she was wearing before she was killed, a dark green combo.

After a few minutes of walking around Kagome deduced that they were walking the wrong way, this was around 15 minutes after they had split apart. Turning to go back, Kagome saw someone running towards them. "Keiko!? What are you doing!?"

Keiko looked up and smiled with tears in her eyes, making Kagome frown as Keiko skidded to a halt infront of her. "Kagome! I'm so glad I ran into you! Can you take me to the arena!?" She looked up at Kagome with pleading eyes, making Kagome slightly uncomfortable.

"Uh, why?"

Keiko shook her head, "He's fighting a big guy to the death! He's going to die! Please!?" Kagome shifted uncomfortably, while Emerald covered her mouth to keep from laughing.

"Sure. Come on then." Kagome started forward towards the way Keiko had come.

"Wait, isn't it the other way?"

"No." Kagome didn't look back as she kept on walking, Emerald beside her. "It's this way. We were coming from the way your going. You must have run past the entrance."

"But-" "Trust me." Kagome interrupted, her voice strong.

Keiko paused for a minute before giving in and running to catch up with Kagome. Two minutes later, the three of the arrived at the entrance the team had taken into the arena.

"Here we are. You first." Kagome bowed and motioned Keiko into the arena first, laughing as she took off in a dead sprint. "Okay. We are here, finally. I'll talk Botan into taking you back, alright?"

Emerald nodded, but didn't move forward with Kagome.

Noticing the lack of body next to her, Kagome frowned and looked back. "I'll wait here, if you don't mind." Kagome was about to protest, but she shook her head and ignored the feeling that she was missing something important.

"Alrighty then. I'll just go and bring Botan to you." Kagome mumbled sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

Emerald huffed but remained silent as Kagome continued into the hall that lead to the arena. Stepping onto the grass Kagome noticed Kuwabara arguing with Keiko. The darkness of the arena made Kagome frown, until she saw the ring. "What the-….WHY IS YUSUKE UP!?"

Breaking into a run Kagome collided with Kuwabara knocking him down. "Botan, why is he fighting!? He should be resting still!"

"Oh, hi Kagome. He's, um, fighting because he was the one who volunteered?" Botan replied skittishly, touching her two index fingers to each other.

"But he was supposed to stay asleep darn it!"

Kagome looked up onto the ring and saw the two of the fighters laughing.

Botan followed Kagome's eyes and watched the two continue to fight. "They're so evenly matched. It must end soon or it might never end at all!"

"No. I'm certain they're both standing on their last legs. It's almost all over. The weaker one will crumble soon." Kagome looked over at Hiei and did a double take.

"Hiei, when did you lose your shirt?" Kagome exclaimed, her eyes wide. 'He has such a nice chest…'

Hiei blushed, just slightly. Only Kurama noticed the light dusting before it disappeared. Kurama chuckled making Hiei turn his head away in disgust at himself and in embarrassment.

Kagome was silent a moment before a smell made her turn back towards the ring. "His foot! Why the hell is he standing like that!?"

"It's called a Knife Edge Death Match. They cant move their feet, and who ever falls first dies. They've both exhausted their spiritual powers, all they have now is their brute strength."

Kagome nodded, managing to keep herself from blushing again. He just had such a hot and sexy voice!

"So, he's been cutting his foot open from the bottom? Wonderful." Kagome replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms under her chest, making Kurama's eyes stray there a few times.

"A head butt?" Botan exclaimed, making Kurama and Kagome look to her before looking to the ring. They looked just in time to see Yusuke and the blue haired guy hit heads. After a split moment the blue haired guy fell to the ring floor, breaking it.

"The winner of this match and the leader of the winning team, Yusuke Urameshi!" Koto exclaimed, raising Yusuke's arm above his head. Yusuke laughed while Kuwabara rushed the ring exclaiming how wonderful it was.

"Yusuke! Get your ass over here!" Kagome yelled pointing to the side of the ring. Grabbing Kuwabara's shoulder as a support Yusuke limped over there while talking raggedly to Kuwabara. While passing Chu Yusuke heard a mummer and looked down.

Kagome huffed and tapped her foot. "What is taking them so long!? I need to heal his foot damn it!"

"I'm sure there is a perfectly good reason." Kurama replied, amused at Kagome's anger, making her even angrier.

"Well I don't care! His foot is bleeding and until he gets it healed he will bleed. And if he bleeds too much he'll die of blood loss!" Kagome yelled, pointing at Yusuke.

"Relax. He's just telling Chu he wont kill him." Hiei intervened, making Kurama smile gratefully.

Kagome huffed and remained silent. She knew she was being irrational and a bitch, but she felt like doing it. So she would. Besides, what she had said was true. If she didn't heal his foot soon he'd be in trouble. "Get your butt over here, Yusuke!" Kagome shouted, walking up to the edge of the ring."

"Demon fans, they're so stupid. One minute their rooting for Yusuke to die. The next they're rooting for him to kill the guy who lost!"

"Kuwabara, rant later. Set Yusuke down on the edge of the ring. Kurama, come over here and hold up Yusuke's foot."

Kagome orders were not received as one would think. Kuwabara looked down at Kagome like she'd lost her mind, while Kurama gaped at her incredulously.

"Fine! You two are so….grrr!" Kagome growled, grabbing Yusuke and forcing him to sit at the edge of the ring. Lifting his foot herself, Kagome raised her right hand to the bottom of it and brought forth her healing powers to get rid of his nasty cut.

As the rants got louder Kagome started to grind her teeth. "SHUT UP!" Kagome looked up and smirked with Yusuke.

As the silence droned on Kagome stood up. "Your foot is healed now."

Turning, she faced the crowds with everyone else, glaring at anyone she saw.

"IF YOU IDIOTS GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, THE SAY IT! But say it to my face, or say it to my fist!" The silence droned on, making Kagome slightly uncomfortable.

Looking over Kagome froze, then elbowed Yusuke in the stomach. "Look to your right, Yusuke."

"Why? What is-" Kagome looked at Yusuke when his speech froze, and noticed his frozen fearful look. "Toguro." Kagome shivered. She had noticed someone with immense power staring at them, she just hadn't known who it was.

"Its him?" Kagome whispered, gazing up at Toguro in aw.

"Yeah. That's him." Kuwabara answered, looking up with everyone else.

"Tch." Yusuke raised his right hand and flicked off Toguro.

"Yusuke! Don't make him angry!" Botan whispered desperately, making Kagome chuckle.

Hiei was the first to walk out of the arena, Kurama followed right behind him, with the rest of them following after him. As the darkness of the tunnel closed in around the Kaogme shivered.

"Took you long enough!" Emerald's voice made Kagome wince slightly. "I'm sorry, I forgot. Botan, can you do me a favor?"

Botan looked at Emerald then at Kagome curiously. "The would depend on the favor."

"Ok, well….I don't know how to say this, but Emerald has been in me recuperating her strength. Well, she finally got enough and was able to get out. Now she wants to go back to her time. Can you take her?"

Botan was silent a moment before nodding slowly. "Sure. I'll take her. Come on Emerald." Botan turned and ran off, Emerald following closely behind her.
