Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, or Inu-Yasha. I do however, own my characters: Mika Tsutsumi and Ojike. Thank you. Please ask for permission to use these characters.

Note: For this chapter, I had to create the demon I described before in the episode preview. The demon that uses fears against people. It was hard to figure out how to place his name so it fits his character. I took out my Japanese dictionary and went to work before I typed up this chapter. So here it is:

Ojike (oh-jee- ke) - The name of the demon that will be used here.

Yuku Yojutsusha (yoo-koo yo-joo-ts-sha) - This is the name of the type of demon Ojike is. It literally menas, "Fear to die Magician". Weird huh? Anyway, it's supposed to mean that this type of demon is more like a magician, and uses fears as its power. Confusing, I know. Just read this chapter to understand it better.

Koenma: Last time on Cross Worlds, the Rekai Tantei were introduced to the mysterious trio, Kagome, Inu-Yasha and Mika. After a long introduction, the Rekai Tantei were brought to the Feudal Era, and met more new allies. What new dangers will they encounter in this next big case?

Chapter 5: A Hidden Past, Meant to Be Forgotten

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Kukuku....So the Rekai Tantei has decided to come here did they?" Naraku questioned no one in particular. "This should be interesting..."

Kagura popped out from the shadows and said, "Is there anything you want me to do?" she asked.

"No," Naraku replied, "Well actually...I do have something in mind..." Kanna came out of the shadows as well, and appeared behind Naraku. "Kanna, show me a "yuku yojutsusha"."

"Yes master..." Kanna obeyed, and then what looked like to be a human, with their face and whole body covered totally in black robes, appeared on the mirror. Kagura's eyes went wide.

"Are you crazy?!? You can't make me even TALK to that thing!" Kagura exclaimed. She's heard rumors all over Japan about yuku yojutsusha demons. Some say that if you even get at least a few feet from it, it will automatically kill you using your fears. Others say that it was much worse. They say that they first torture you to death by putting you under a spell, and then you loose your soul and become nothing but an empty shell. You would have no place to go, not even an afterlife. Yuku yojutsusha demons sense everyone's fears like it was breathing.

"Heh...you shall not disobey me Kagura," Naraku then clutched Kagura's heart, causing her to fall to the ground holding her chest. This was her greatest fear. Dying this way. Without knowing what it's like to be free like the wind. Kagura was going to be willing to die right then and there without approaching the yuku yojutsusha when Naraku came out with an interesting proposal. "Kagura, if you can get me the closest yuku yojutsusha in the area, you'll be rewarded your freedom..."

Kagura sweared she heard her heart skip a beat after that; and she was sure Narkau heard it, too. 'My freedom?' she thought. This was what Kagura would practically risk her life for. Her freedom. She slowly got up and said, "Alright. If I should bring you a formidable yuku yojutsusha, then you'll let me go."

"Kukuku...Correct. I'm glad we're on the same page..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"SPIRIT GUN!" Yusuke screamed. The pistol went right through the boar demon's forehead that the group was battling. While on Inu-Yasha's back, Kagome shot her purifying arrow near the same place Yusuke shot his spirit gun. A bright pink jewel shard came out, and the boar went mad. It's eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he blindly crashed around the canyon they were in. Attacking was hard, since it was so fast. Miroku managed to find a safe spot where no one was in front of him. He then removed the prayer beads around his right arm and he cried, "KAZANNA! (wind tunnel)," The boar screeched in pain, as it was sucked into the abyss. Finally, he was gone, and the only thing that was left was the shikon shard.

Everyone sighed as Inu-Yasha took Kagome to the Shikon shard. There was blood all over the jewel shard, so she was hesitant to touch it at first. When she did, the blood turned to a metallic color, meaning that the blood was purified. The only one that was really hurt was Hiei, but the only injury he really had was a bruise on his arm.

As they were going to find a spot to have some lunch Kagome made, Kuwabara asked, "Hey, do we have to fight stuff like that EVERYday?"

"Yep, maybe even more. But Kuwabara, if you're scared of that, then you won't exactly last against Naraku and his crew. And recruiting the Toguro team doesn't exactly help either," Mika replied. When they got back to the feudal era, Mika had her hair in a bun again, and wore clothes similar to that of a low ranking samurai; without the armor. "Hey Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"You DID remember to bring me extra food right?"

"*giggle* Don't worry. If it doesn't satisfy you then nothing will!" Mika had a big, prideful smile when Inu-Yasha just scowled.

"I don't know why you eat so much. You eat more than all of the village pigs put together!" He got his answer by Mika kicking him ahead of the road.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They finally reached a nice shady area after Mika and Inu-Yasha still kept arguing the whole way. When they sat down, Kagome handed everyone a lunchbox wrapped in cloth. The Rekai Tantei ate hungrily, while the feudal era people sat there with their lunch boxes open. They stared questionably at the food.

"Is there something wrong?" Kagome asked.

Shippo picked up a sausage with his chopsticks and said, "Do sausages have legs in your era?" In her time, people would cut little sausages to make them look like octopuses. The gang nodded in agreement with Shippo.

"Kagome made them that way," Kurama said simply as he took another bite of the sausage.

Inu-Yasha sniffed it carefully and asked, "Is this thing edible?" Kagome was about to yell at him when Sango took a bite of a chocolate rice ball.

"Wow!" she cried. Kagome turned to Sango as she was already half done with the rice ball. "This is very good Kagome-chan." At almost the same time, the rest of them picked up their chopsticks and took a bite of their food. Right away, Mika's face lit up and she cried, "This IS good!" and dug in. Kagome was really happy that everyone liked her cooking. She was even more happy that Inu-Yasha was eating it. When Inu-Yasha and Mika grabbed for the last meatball, they glared at each other, and started to fight over it with their chopsticks, which quickly lead to a little martial arts fight. The rest of the gang looked in awe as they saw that the meatball looked as if it was floating in the air. Hiei was the only one that could clearly see that it was just because of Inu-Yasha and Mika's chopsticks. Shippo jumped up and grabbed the meatball with his chopsticks and ate it joyfully.

"Shippo-cha~~~n," Mika complained. Inu-Yasha just feh'd and went back to eating from his lunch box. 'Sigh...Kagome-chan didn't make enough....what if I starve! Hey wait a minute! Miroku has more than me! That can be! Must have more food...' Subconsciously, Mika went into the fetal position and muttering "more food" to herself as she rocked back and forth holding her knees.

Everyone just stared at her, and Hiei stopped the silence by simply saying, "Glutton."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagura was gliding on her feather, overlooking the country. She was determined to find that yuku yojutsusha. Before she left, Kanna informed her that the nearest one was named Ojike. Even though she wanted her freedom, she was still hesitant to finish this job. But no matter what, she won't even let this THING stop her from gaining her freedom.

As she flew over a village, she heard screams from a village woman. When she turned around, her eyes went wide. A yuku yojutsusha was standing over a woman's corpse. It looked as if all the life was literally drained from her body. There was nothing left but skin and bones. A chill ran up Kagura's spine, even though being a demon herself, this sort of thing shouldn't scare her. She went a little further above the village and watched what else the demon would do.

As village women tried to run away, they were all of a sudden picked up in the air by an invisible force, and thrown into the river. Village men came to go rescue their wives, but to no avail.

'So...those women's fear was drowning?' Kagura thought. When the yuku yojutsusha turned around, the village men by the river glared at him.

"How dare you even touch our wives demon!" one of the men cried and ran as fast as he could toward the demon. The yuku yojutsusha only smirked, and then all of a sudden, the man's two kids, a little girl and boy, appeared before him. Before everyone's eyes, the demon murdered his children with a dagger, and the man was enraged. His greatest fear was loosing every person in his family, and it just came true.

During the rest of the chaos, Kagura just watched as one by one, fears were being used against people. She could hear her hear beat faster and faster even though it was with Naraku. Finally, the demon turned around and she froze. She couldn't move, or blink. For a few seconds, she thought that it was the end. She was going to die there. But what was weird, was that the yuku yojutsusha was just staring at her.

Kagura started to relax a little, but then she tensed up again when she heard his eerie voice. "You are from Naraku are you not? Kagura is it?" Kagura was couldn't practically breathe. For once in her life, she was completely terrified. "Do not fret. Naraku has informed me that you would come. Yes, I am Ojike. One of the very few yuku yojutsusha in this country. Naraku has given me a very great proposal, and I'm actually considering it.

"Oh, and what is that?" Kagura asked.

"He has informed me that there is a half-demon there by the name of Mika Tsutsumi..."

"? You know her?"

"Of course... I probably even know more than her brother.....Inu-Yasha. Does the name TOSHI Tsutsumi ring a bell?"

Kagura wasn't familiar with the name, but she was interested in who this Toshi person is. She ignored her fear and said, "Please do tell."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sigh....what a boring afternoon," Mika sighed. She was doing some cloud watching while everyone else were.....somewhere else. There wasn't any demon that day to fight, so everyone was pretty much moping around the village.

'Mika....' A voice said.

'? Wait a minute....for a second....that sounded like, no....It couldn't be.' Mika thought. She got up and stared toward the Inu-Yasha forest.

'Mika....' It said again.

'Oh my gawd....It....I'd recognize that voice ANYwhere...Toshi!' Mika then ran toward the forest, listening for her name.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While Kuwabara was studying in Kaede's hut (OH MY GAWD!), he felt a weird spirit energy coming toward the village. He ran outside and said, "HEY GUYS! I THINK WE GOT TROUBLE!" he cried. Everyone was almost instantly around Kuwabara except Mika. "Hey, have any of you guys seen Mika?" Inu-Yasha asked as he looked around him, searching for her face.

"Maybe she didn't hear me," Kuwabara said. "MIKA!!!!! WE GOT TROUBLE!!!" There was no reply. They heard a branch break behind them, and a cloaked figure was behind them.

"Ms. Tsutsumi I'm afraid will not be here soon," he croaked eerily.

Inu-Yasha got angry and said, "What the hell did you do to her?!?"

"She's a little busy at the moment, Inu-Yasha." Inu-Yasha shivered at the mentioning of his name. How did this guy know him? He doesn't recognize the scent. "Toshi has come for a visit Inu-Yasha." Inu-Yasha gasped as the whole group stared at him.

'T-Toshi?!? But he's-'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

'I can smell him now! Toshi!' Mika thought. She was racing through the forest, his scent coming closer and closer.

"Mika," a voice said behind her. Mika slowly turned around and she instantly froze. Her hands shook as she reached out toward him. Before her was a young samurai, who seemed pretty beaten up. He a little ponytail like Miroku, except her looked a little older. His eyes were much softer looking.

Before she knew it, tears were forming at the corners of her eyes. "Toshi." She simply said. Now the tears were flowing freely down her cheeks. After 50 years, her husband came back. Her husband came back to her.

Botan: Botan here! Looks like Naraku is up to no good. Ojike is fighting the rest of the group, while Mika is confronting her long lost husband, or is she? Is they don't hurry, she's going to be in big trouble! But of course, they have to be careful for themselves. Oh dear, this isn't good! Next time on Cross Worlds!
