Inuyasha crossover Yu Yu Hakusho

Chapter 11: Close Yet Far

They had tried dealing with Maya, but whenever they were there trying to meet with Kagome, either they were refused entry or told him that she was no there. Even when he stayed and waited for a day, she was nowhere to be found.

There was nothing between them, Maya and him, even when he confronted her, she says that she understand, and yet what he is seeing from her though docile and easy-going, but it was other wisely seen so far from the way she keeps badgering him.

"Kagome?!" he called out overly excited when she finally picked up the phone.

Even thought she is not saying a single word from the other end and kept her silence, Kurama hurried explained to her regarding about the whole Maya issue, and yet there is still no reply from her.

"She won't be answering your call," another male voice replied using her phone, surprising Kurama as Youko seethed.

"Who are you," his deeper voice asked the other through the phone, holding back his grip on the phone so as to not destroy it.

"Someone very close to her," and the call ended.

When Kurama tried calling through again, her phone was turned off this time and his call went directly into voice mail. It was maddening that he does not know where she is, and the more he tries to not over think things, the more it bothered him.

"Shuichi-kun?" the person he least wanted to hear from called out to him as he glanced with annoyance in the direction of the voice but did not bothered turning to regard that woman that was the cause of his current problems.

"Shuichi~ kun~" she called out again, dragging his name out in a sing-song manner most males would find it cute and endearing, but not to him at the moment, and resisted the urge to growl out at her to leave him.

The Youko in in him wanted to do far worst things to that female, but this was also not the place that they can do so, neither should they do it. With much rational thinking and convincing on Shuichi side, they ignored the woman thoroughly and walked away, not at all wanting to be bothered by her.

"Get lost," Youko growled, his voice deeper with a tone of threat and danger in it that made her freeze in her steps as she took a tentatively scared step backwards.

"Shuichi-kun…" Maya called out softly as though having been wronged as she tried to reach out to him with a pitiful voice and look on her face like that of a scared lamb.

"Don't ever bother us again," Shuichi growled, somehow managing to contain Youko as he took control of his body again, the colors of his eyes majority of it now emerald with flakes of gold in them, flashes coldly as they regarded her.

"But Shuichi-kun…I wanted to find out why you stopped contacting after that day, we were going out just fine!" Maya nearly cried out, but her voice was loud enough for those around of them to hear.

"It was long in the past and we were never official or dating formally. And now I find you interfering with my life, get lost before you make me regret having let you off this easy," Youko threatened Maya through Shuichi as they shared the same line of thoughts and have the same focus.

Maya's face paled and then greened and then red with anger at his words and how unkindly he is treating her in public. And just when she had gone to the trouble of getting rid of the possible third wheel that might have gotten in their way just so that they might get back together again as a couple. Now she see how the other affects him, and is deep in his heart as compared to her who is getting the cold shoulder and hostile treatment.

She watches on feeling her face flaming up in red as people looked at her and Kurama, each with their own speculations on what is going on between the two of them as she stood there looking like the one that had forced herself onto him. Maya tilted her head down as she focused on her shoes, and the ground, not wanting her face to be seen anymore as her hair form a sort of curtain between her and the crowd of people who was watching what happened earlier.

Their loud murmurings and mumblings were more than enough to make her fume even more as she suddenly turned around and started running away from that location, not wanting to stay any longer. Kagome Higurashi, a person that she only recently know who had caught the attention of Kurama and for him to waste so much efforts on her, made her feel the unjust in treatment, especially to her when she is the one that had dated him in the past.

And said person was far away from where they are at the moment as she re-entered her room to see Shippo sitting in the spacious living room as he looked up from his laptop to see her walking in, he smiled at her broadly, moving his laptop off of his lap as he went towards her, and gave her a tight hugged.

"Was I missed that much?" she teased him as she returned the hug, patting his back gently before pushing him away as she walked towards the beach view balcony of their service apartment suite that faces the cool tropical beach of Waikiki.

"You're always missed," he laughingly told her walking with her towards the balcony as they came to stand outside to watch the afternoon where many people were walking by the long stretch of Waikiki beach and many spaces on the sand occupied by beach goers and sun-tanners.

"There was called from Kurama when you were gone," Shippo softly told her, his eyes watching her from the side as he studied her every little expression, always attentive of her and worry for her as well.

She paused for a moment, knowing that he had been calling her for a while now but often she let it go straight into voice mail.

"I answered it," he continued slowly seeing no response whatsoever from her except for that wavering hesitant look in her.

"What did you tell him," she asked him, her voice tight as she looked out to the see, the ocean line parting the sky and the calm waves out in the open sea as some boats were out on it.

"I told him that you will not be answering his call," Shippo said, repeating what he told him over the phone to her.

She closes her eyes, resting them for the moment for looking out to the ocean for too long.

"That's good enough, he should be stopping some time soon," Kagome said her phone almost deathly silent as compared to that indifferent look upon her face as she still did not turn to face Shippo.

Shippo did not reply her but accompany her, staying by her side silently as he too looked out to the ocean. Peaceful times like these reminds him of the past sometimes, but there is still a great difference how they lived then, as compared to now.

And just when he thought that perhaps there might be someone else who might enter her heart, he was wrong. All that he could really do is to accompany her by her side without question. It was all but a matter of time before she starts opening up again, and most especially when the right person comes by into her life.
