Tears and Roses
Chapter 12 - Attack in the past
**************************************************
"Kagome? Is that you?" Keade gasped, before tears raised in her eyes as the girl nodded, hugging her as soon as she entered the hut.
"Kagome we were so worried about you! It's so good to see you again!" Se exclaimed noting the miko outfit.
"Thank you Keade.. the same to you.. and everyone..." Kagome said, about ready to cry again. Shippou was on her shoulder until the old miko finished her hug, the he crawled back in to Kagome's arm. She smiled slightly. The kitsune now refused to leave her alone for a moment since she had returned, even when Inu yasha threaten to beat him up if he didn't leave her. It was so good to be back!
..... although she couldn't help think back about her friends...
..... and the spirit detectives. She hoped they could forgive her.. escpecially if she didn't return..
She shook the thought out of her head, but not totally ignoring it. There was a possibility it could happen.. but there was also a chance for her to live too.
"Kagome? What is wrong you look sad.." Shippou said looking up in to her eyes. She ruffled his hair, but her eyes remained distant.
"I'm just thinking Shippou... I do have a lot I must deal with right now.. not just here...." She said, they all looked at her oddly, but she didn't notice.
Now what did Koenma say about that case? A missing sorceroress? What was her name..? She'd have to help them if she lived.
"What are you talking about Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked looking at her with a worried expression on his face.
"Just---" She stopped, Her face darkening, as she nearly growled in rising anger.
"Youkai.. lots of them... coming this way..."
"What?!" They shouted.
Kagome's face was serious as she tightened her grip on the bow she held.
"Get ready for battle everyone! We gonna be in one soon.." She stated walking out of the hut.
Every one ran after here, as Miroku whispered to Sango.
"Is it just me or has Kagome.. changed?"
"She has. More confident.. stronger... something happened while she was gone.."
Kagome stood still, glaring out at the forest. She held her bow, an arrow noched in it, ready to shoot.
Inu yasha stood beside her, Tetsauiga drawn. Miroku behind them, holding the prayerbeads. While hovering above them was Sango on Kirara, Hirakotsu poised at ready. Shippou stood on Kagome's shoulder ready to help at any cost.
"Ready.. here.... they.... " She started, then a wave of various demons erupted from the forest's canopy, each carring a sliver of a jewel shard.
".. COME!!" She shouted firing her purifying arrow. It cut through two of them... only a few hundred more too go.
Kagome notched three arrows on her bow at once, saying
"Shippou use foxfire on my arrows!"
The kitsune followed orders, as the flaming blue arrows struck several demons with twice the power.
She did that four more different times, getting rid of over seventy youkai herelf, but that still wasn't enough.
She'd have to use a minor spell.
"Flaming rites!" She whispered, her hands cupped together flat in front of her lips. She took and deep breath then blew immaginary dust off her hands. Almost instantly a wave of fire blue water grew washing over a whole unit of youkai, burning them all to a crisp.
"Wow Kagome.." Shippou whispered. She nodded taking a few deep breaths to steady her self after the use of some of her energy. She took a quick glance around the battlefeild. Inu yasha was using 'Kaze no Kizu' as much as he could, while Sango and Kirara took on a hundrend themselves. Kaede was chanting to protect the gathered huddle of villagers under the dome of spirit energy. Good. All were safe and alive so far.
She fired six more arrows, only then did she notice she was on her last arrow. She felt the cold dread flow through her skin.
She couldn't get help from the others they were all too busy themselves! She had to get her and Shippou out of this by herself!
Focusing hre miko energy on her last arrow. She realeased it and its powerful blast taking out a huge group of them.
"Kagome what are we gonna do?!!" Shippou squealed.
"We aren't out yet Shippou, only you have to help me!" She shouted over the battle noises. She grabbed her concealed dagger out of her shirt.
"Shippou-chan! Can you use Fox fire on this for me and make it larger?!"
He nodded and she held the dagger away from her face as it turned in to a flaming blue sword of fire.
Without a second thought she ran foward jumping up, springing of some snake youkai hides to reach the heads of them.
"HIIIYYYA!!!!" She yelled, cutting through one in between the eyes. She grabbed the Shikon Shard handing it to Shippou for safe keeping.
She cut through ones neck, and another ones through its eye. She was about to slash another, when a shadow over fell her, turning she saw a giant snake head looming over her, purple venom dripping from its fangs.
"Ssstttuuuppiid mmiiikko..nooww yyoouu ddiiieee!!!" It hissed descending on her. She could try jumping out of the way but it'd be useless.
She stared at it coldly only her fright evident under her dominating courage. She was about to close her eyes in failure, when shouts rang through the air.
"KAGOME!!!" Hiei's and Kurama's voice yelled, as they attacked the snake with there weapons, so nothing remained but bits of flesh falling through the air.
Kagome caught sight of Yusuke and Kuwabara behind them fighting also.
"H-hiei? Kurama? What are all of you doing her?! It's dangerous!" Se shouted as the two landed in front of here.
"Stupid! Do you really think we'd let you go fighting alone!?!" Hiei said coldly.
"Yes Kagome! Why did you escape from the castle!?" Kurama added getting his anger out a little nicer then Hiei did. She just shook her head. Shippou looked both stunned and confused.
"Kagome-chan!!" Sango yelled, as Kirara roared. Kagome looked up, getting the hint, before slyly looking back at the two demons.
"Since you are here you might as well fight, now I have to go help too!" She said raising her hand. They look confused for a second until Sango sailed by, grabbing Kagome's hand and pulling he on to Kirara's back as they continued battling.
"Stupid girl!" Hiei growled. Kurama sighed.
"We have to fight anyways. She is our mission after all. We have to keep her safe.." Kurama made the excuse for himself so he could freely worry about Kagome with out being suspected. Hiei nodded, drawing his blade, he leapt at the heart of the youkai and started slashing, as Kurama followed, rose whip ready.
The battle drew on long into the day. Until Hiei became angry and unleashed his dragon technique taking out a huge portion of them. Kagome continued to use minor spells with Sango, while Inu yasha and Miroku took care of the remainder of them that weren't yet killed.
As sunset passed, and the stars were just coming out, the last youkai was slayed. Inu yasha grunted looking at the four unknown men that helped them, not yet sheathing his fang in contempt. Kirara landed on the ground as Sango and kagome remained seated his back. Miroku walked beside Inu yasha staring at the newcomers, sizing them up.
Kurama's whip returned to his rose as he tucked it away for safe keeping. Hiei sheathed his sword, as Kuwabara's spirit sword dissapeared, and Yusuke stared at the fuedal travelers. Each group stared at each other before Inu yasha growled.
"Who are you and why did you help us?!" He growled.
"Not a thankful type?" Yusuke muttered under his breath. Inu yasha's ears twitched.
"We are here to see Kagome, and I take it you are Inu yasha?" Kurama stated. Inu yasha snarled.
"You aren't going anywhere near Kagome!" He shouted, gripping his Tetsuiaga tighter. Hiei, Kurama, and Inu yasha glared at each other on the brink of all out war, when a voice stopped them.
"Hey! Knock it off!! All of you! What are you, kindergarteners!?!" Kagome's voice rang in their ears, settling them all down, turning to her.
She hopped of Kirara, with only slight protest from Sango to stop that she ignored and stood between the demons.
"Kagome what is going on?" Inu yasha asked her, his gaze switching back and forth between her and the other group.
"Inu yasha sheath Tetsuaiga. They aren't enemies." She said in soothing tones. He followed orders. She turned to the other youkai, frowning slightly.
"And I'd like to know why you are here and how." She stated. Yusuke was first to speak.
"Koenma sent us usin' some time travelin' watch thing. Besides that was quite an exit you made.." He said smirking at the end. Kagome just felt the questioning gazes on her back from her other friends.
She blushed.
"Well I was just saying my goodbyes.. hoping no one would try to come and find me..." She whispered, thinking 'I just didn't want anymore people to get hurt..'
"Looks like that didn't work.." Kuwabara grunted. Kagome grinned slightly.
"I can see that.."
"So what exactly were your orders I'd like to know?" She asked slying, knowing if she needed any answers those would be it.
Kurama looked torn for a minute before slowly saying.
"He wanted us to find you, since new spirit detectives are hard to find enough as it is right now, we can't afford to let you die."
Yusuke and Kuwabara shot him questioning glances, while Hiei just kept staring out at Inu yasha.
Kagome caught there reactions, frowning, her eyes narrowed.
"Anything else?"
"NO." He stated, emphasizing his word, so the two humans would back off and not drop any more hints. She couldn't know.. not yet.
"Right...."
"Kagome-sama.. would you mind explaining?" Miroku asked, Shippou nodding in agreement on his shoulder. She turned around to look at them a wide smile on her face, her braid swishing as she moved.
"Sorry, I forgot. Inu yasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Shippou, these are some friends from my time. Kurama.." She pointed to the red haired one with green eyes who bowed.
"..Hiei.." Motioning to the shorter youkai, dressed in black. He snorted.
"Yusuke and Kuwabara.." She pointed to the other two. Yusuke with his hands in his pockets smirking evilly, and Kuwabara giving them the thumbs- up.
"Everyone this is Sango and Kirara.." Pointing to the girl with a high ponytail and boomerang bone, holding a now smaller cat youkai.
".. Miroku and Shippou.." She motioned to the monk and small kitsune, earning grins from Kuwabara and Yusuke.
".. and finally this is Inu yasha." She motioned to the dog earred boy, who just glared at them.
"Spirit detectives meet the everyone, everyone meet the Spirit detectives.
Sango, Shippou, and Miroku nodded in greeting as did Kurama while the other four men remained sneering at each other.
Kagome sighed.
'great...' she thought. 'Now not only fight for my life against Naraku I have to keep war from breaking out over them or someone's ego could get hurt.. not that that was a bad thing though..' She debated on in her head, before looking over them one last time, before sneering
"Well well kindergarteners.. are we done fighting yet? I'm getting tired and am going to bed are you coming too?"
She didn't wait for there answers she turned and headed to Kaede's hut, followed by Sango and Miroku, while Shippou cuddled in her arms, as she knew blushes would be spreading on the other boys faces.
"This is all your fault!" Yusuke said to Kuwabara, hitting him on the back of the head.
"My fault! One look at your ugly face Uremeshi and everyone has to turn and run!" he retailated, trying punch Yusuke who dodged out of the way.
"Humans and mutts... why does she even bother coming here?" Hiei muttered.
"Mutt?!!" Inu yasha growled and lunged at him. Hiei dodged, while Kurama tried breaking up the fight.
Before Kagome went into the hut she peeked out at the all out brawl shouting the only reason no one got killed that night.
"If anyone gets seriously hurt, the attacker will have to suffer my wrath so I wouldn't get to agressive if I were you!!!" She said, before walking inside. So after an hour or so they quit and went inside as well, with only minor cuts and bruises.
'Stupid future bastards...' Inu yasha thought angriliy.
'Idiot Half-brained mutt..' Hiei critisized in his head, cracking his knuckles.
'Kuwabara I'm gonna beat you up tomorrow!' Yusuke repeated in his head, smirking.
'Uremeshi your gonna get it!' Kuwabara thought, laying the plan out in his head(not a very good plan I might add ^_^)
'Men.... what idiots.' Kagome said, safely hidden under her covers, not yet asleep.
******************************The end!!**********************
Yea.... chappie 12 done! Oh to explain few things. The way Kagome used her dagger like a fire sword, and looked like Kuwabara's only blue. And the reason why they won't tell Kagome about Tsukiyo yet will be explained next chapter, 'kay? Although they may be a while.. too much work at school.. wahh.... well till next time thanks for all reveiws (Over 300 still can't believe it! Thank you all so so much!) and write later, bye!!

"She has. More confident.. stronger... something happened while she was gone.."
Kagome stood still, glaring out at the forest. She held her bow, an arrow noched in it, ready to shoot.
Inu yasha stood beside her, Tetsauiga drawn. Miroku behind them, holding the prayerbeads. While hovering above them was Sango on Kirara, Hirakotsu poised at ready. Shippou stood on Kagome's shoulder ready to help at any cost.
