Beginning of Ceremony



As soon as the group landed in the heaven realm, demons surrounded them. "Seems like

humans want to join too." snickered a demon, as he extended his claws. "Well, I'll use you as

practice." The next second, the demon split in half, as Hiei sheathes his sword, seemingly not

moving an inch.

"Sign up here!" yelled a goddess, as she pointed to what seemed like a registration table,

located at the entrance. "Are you here to compete?" asked the goddess, looking at the group.

"No." replied Kurama calmly.

"Then your not allowed here." retorted the goddess.

"I'm a judge." interrupted Koenma, as he handed her the scroll. The goddess nodded, and

allowed them entrance.

"Wow!" gasped Kuwabara. "She was very pretty."

"Hn." snorted Hiei, as he glared at the dork.

"All judges report to the castle!" called a voice that echoed through the air. "And

everyone is invited to the ball in five hours!"

"That's us!" yelled Koenma, as he started toward the castle with his four body guards.

They all stared in awe at the beautiful, large castle. Hiei and Kurama didn't show this though.

"Welcome!" greeted the high goddess. "I'm glad you could all make it. You will all be

living in this castle. And while in here, we will assure your safety, but once outside, we will not

be responsible."

"I understand." replied Koenma, who had changed into his teenage form.

"Akume, take them to their rooms." called the goddess.

"Yes, milady." replied Akume, as he showed the group toward their room.

~feudal era~

"Hey, where's Kagome?" asked Shippo, as he gnawed on Inuyasha's head. "Did you

make her angry again?"

"No, brat." replied Inuyasha, as he flung Shippo of him.

"Inuyasha, you should go check." suggested Miroku, as he looked up into the tree.

"Kagome could be in danger."

"What kind of danger can she be in?" demanded Inuyasha, as he lounged on the tree.

"Don't you want you shards?" asked Shippo, as he rubbed his bruise. "Anyway, I want

Kagome!"

"Feh, get her yourself." commented Inuyasha.

"I would if I could!" whined Shippo, as his lips trembled.

"Inuyasha, just go get lady Kagome and Sango!" urged Miroku.

"Feh." muttered Inuyasha, as he leaped into the well. As soon as he jumped out of the

well, he knew something was off.

"Inuyasha!" cried a little boy as he launched himself onto him. "Kagome left us!"

"Wait, Souta, repeat that. Where did Kagome go this time?" Inuyasha demanded. "Did he

go somewhere with that redhead again?

"No." sniffed Souta. "Kagome, Kagome, Kagome is dead! Wah! She was walking home

one day." sniff. Sniff. "And got hit by a truck."

"What?" gasped Inuyasha, as his eyes went wide. "That's not true! Feh. She's to stupid to

die! She's probably hiding somewhere."

"But Inuyasha..." whined Souta.

"I know she's alive." interrupted Inuyasha, trying to keep his composure. "I'm going to

go find her." With that, Inuyasha jumped back into the well.

"Hey Inuyasha!" called Shippo. "Where's Kagome?"

"I don't know." replied Inuyasha, acting as if he didn't care. He jumped into the tree, and

brooded. "Kagome, where can you be? Did you really....? No, you can't! I already lost Kikyou, I

can't lose you too!"

~at the ball~

Kurama stepped out from his room, adorned in a white attire with rose designs. The style

was Chinese. (Think what he wore when he fought Ura Ureshima. The first time he turned

Youko, except it's white with roses.)

Hiei was already done, and was wearing his usual black, and looked even more

emotionless less then before. (Is that possible?) Kuwabara was wearing a white jacket with pants,

and with the words the GREAT KUWABARA printed across it! Yusuke wore his green school

uniform. Why? I don't know.

The castle was crowded with demons. No weapons were allowed inside the castle, and no

killing was allowed either. Hiei wasn't to happy about this, but complied after five hours of

arguing. "Let the ceremony begin!" cried the high god.

Everyone became quite, as they stared at the stair of clouds. "Goddess of Ice, Cathy!"

announced the servant. Everyone applauded and whistled. Cathy glanced at the demons, ripped

her slippers off her foot, and hit an exceptionally ugly demon in the face.

As she walked past everyone, they shivered from the sudden change of temperature.

"Goddess of thunder, Megan!" Everyone clapped, as thunder crackled all around her. The

demons quickly backed away.

"Goddess of Annoyance, Chelsea!" A young girl with long black hair skipped out.

"What are they doing here?" demanded Chelsea.

"They're your suitors." replied the servant.

"What? Repeat that!" yelled Chelsea, as she pulled the ear of a demon. "Na, to pimply.

No, to ugly. Yuck, to slimy."

"Chelsea!" yelled her mother. "Behave yourself for a second." The demons who have

been insulted twitched in annoyance. The servant took a deep breath, and smiled.

"Goddess of Wind, with a hot temper, might I add, Krystal!" Everyone turned their gaze to

her.

"I'm so happy for you!" cried Megan. "Your going to get a great match!"

"Thanks." replied Krystal, and quickly backed away when Rhianna ran toward her with

outstretched arms. "DON'T HUG ME!"

"Right about the hot tempered thing." muttered Yusuke, as Krystal shot him a glare.

"Goddess of Hatred, Kikyou!" announced the servant, as everyone became silent once

again. As soon as she stepped out, Kurama eyes widened.

"Kagome's really alive." murmured Yusuke.

"No, that's not her." replied Hiei and Kurama at the same time after analyzing her more.

Kikyou tenderly walked down, making sure not to touch anything.

"Congratulations!" called Chelsea with a smirk, as she squeezed Kikyou's arm. Kikyou

winced in pain, and tears slid down her face. "Oh, looks like baby is crying! Want me to sing you

a lullaby?"

"Now, for the Goddess of Fire...." announced the servant, who was interrupted.

"What kinda dress is this? I am NOT wearing this!" came the angry screams from the

bedrooms. "THAT'S TOO MUCH MAKE-UP!"

"Hold still!" yelled another voice.

"OW! THIS SLIPPER IS TO SMALL!" yelled the first voice, as a flaming, red glass

slipper came sailing out the door. Smack. It hit Kikyou smack in the face.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" yelled Kikyou, covering her nose.

"Well, guess she isn't ready. Let's move onto the high goddess, ..." announced the

servant, who was once again, cut off.

"Watch it!" yelled a voice. "I don't want to wear that!"

"Princess!" protested another voice. "This is your crown! Your of royalty!"

"What if I don't want to be royalty!?" argued the first voice, as she tossed the crown out

the door, hitting Kikyou square in the face.

"How come the voices sound familiar?" asked Hiei. The group shrugged, and waited.

Finally a girl dressed in red started walking down.

~Sango's POV~

Stupid, stupid, stupid! I slowly walked down the stairs, as I scanned the room. I quickly

froze and spun around. Oh my! Was that Hiei and the group? I quickly raced back upstairs and

into Kagome's room.

"Kagome! Kurama and Hiei are here!" I yelled!

"That's nice." replied Kagome. "That's to much! Wait, Sango, do you just say Kurama

and Hiei?" I nodded my head.

There was a knock on the door, as the maid opened it. "Mother!" we both gasped.

"I don't know what your up too, but you better be down there in three minutes!" The

warning in mother's voice was enough to persuade us.

"Any bright ideas?" I asked. My eyes widened when Kagome nodded her head.

~Author's POV~

"Here they come!" cried the servant, as everyone gave the two remaining goddess their

full attention.

"What in the world!" yelled the high goddess, as her two daughters came out wearing an

oversized hat. Kurama quirked an eyebrow, as he took a deep breath. Kurama tensed, "Kagome."

Kurama whispered, as he quickly made his way toward them.

"Will you please remove the hat?" Kurama asked politely. The two girls shook their

heads.

"You have permission to take them off of them." stated the high goddess, as Kurama gave

a slight bow. The high god and goddess walked away, getting a headache.

~Kagome's POV~

I tensed, as Kurama took the hat off us. In a flash, Sango and I had a fan in front of us.

Kurama sighed, as he ripped the fans from us. When is he going to give up? Stupid rule about no

masking scents in this ball! Luckily, we had a veil underneath!

I watched as Kurama tried to take off the veil. As soon as he ripped it off, I grabbed the

nearest person, and placed him in front of me. This person, just so happened to be Kuronue.

Sango did the same, but she had Akume in front of her. Sango and I quickly raced back upstairs.

"I don't feel well!" I yelled.

~Kurama's POV~

Kuronue. Is that really him? But how? "I suggest you quite bothering the two princesses."

warned Kuronue.

"Kuronue, don't you remember me?" I asked.

"Do I know you?" asked Kuronue, as he turned to leave.

"I'm Kurama. Remember Youko Kurama?" I asked. Kuronue whirled around, and grabbed

me. He pulled me into his room and locked the door. Then he started sniffing me, and then

smirked.

"Old friend, it seems like you are a human. Care to explain?" asked Kuronue.

"Yes." I replied, as I explained everything by sending Kuronue the whole picture

mentally. Leaving out a few things, of course.

~Kuronue's POV~

Oh! Can it be? Is this the one Princess Kagome is in love with. This is perfect! But I had

vowed that I would not tell, but I can still help! "Is there a way for you to change into you demon

form?"

Kurama thought for a minute, then nodded his head. He took out the stone Koenma gave

him, and instantly changed into Youko Kurama.

"Great!" I cheered. "Now, get your human friends back into their room, and stay there!

Then tell this Hiei to change into his demon form as well. The rest, leave it to me."

Kurama gave a thankful nod, and quickly did as I said. While I made my way toward

Kagome and Sango.

~feudal era~

"Inuyasha, care to tell us what happened?" demanded Miroku, getting annoyed.

"Nothing." muttered Inuyasha.

"It doesn't look like nothing." retorted Miroku.

"Shut up, houshi!" yelled Inuyasha, who was losing control. "Kagome and Sango are

gone. Forever."

"WHAT?!" yelled Shippo and Miroku.

"Just like I said." yelled Inuyasha, as his eyes took on a red tint. "I'll kill whoever did

this!"

"Inuyasha, calm down." stated Miroku. "Are you sure their really dead?"

"Her family saw her die!" yelled Inuyasha, as he took off toward the forest. Miroku and

Shippo dropped down to the ground.

"Kagome." cried Shippo. "Not you too!"

Please read and review!

Review Responses:

nyczbabigrl: I try not to leave cliffhangers, but I just can't help it. No, I'm not a really good

author, because I never plan things out. I'm really lazy. My back if fine now, and if you have any

problems, I'll be glad to help.

said 'you', to put the readers into the story. They'll be meeting soon!

Hope you enjoyed!

Diana: Don't be worried! I will finish all the stories I started! My back is fine, and I think I croke

the rule about using other people without their knowledge. I used the word 'you' to put the

readers into the story. No, I won't put them in the contest. It'll just get to messy. But they'll meet

again.

CelestialStar6: Yes, I enjoyed doing that very, very much! Yes, I noticed that also. Maybe it's

just because I go through sadness a lot. I've go through jealousy, and betrayal almost every year. I
