The Next Adventure
Youko goddess: Ok, chapter ten is here and the votes came in unanimous!! Kur/kag wins, which means I only need to make a slight adjustment in ch.8!! I had other people read my fic, and they voted Kur/kag too. . . . so I'm very sorry for those who want Hiei/kag...but be on the lookout for my new Inuyasha YuYuHakusho crossover fic, which stars Hiei/kag!!
Kurama: Now that's that been taken care of, she would also like you to know that her new fic will have two new original characters as well!!
Boton: Chapter 10 is the turning point in the story, which means that this fic, will end soon . . . . .
Yusuke: But, then she'll make a sequel to this after the fic is finished. . . .
Hiei: Oh joy..more torture..
S+S-fan: Also, this fic will have probably every character from the two shows in here. . .
Koga: Yay!! I'm in the fic now!!
Youko: *strangles Youko goddess* Its. . About. . . Time. . . That. . . I get. . .To be in this fic. . . .
S+S-fan: Weren't you in the fic in chapter 2? So why are you strangling her? You know you won't get to be with Kagome if she dies. . .
Youko goddess: @ .@ . . . Can't. . . . . breathe. . . . .
Kagome: Well, remember that Youko goddess and S+S-fan do not own Inuyasha and YuYuHakusho. . . . .
Shippo: Now go on and enjoy the chapter!! ^___^

Last time:
" Do I want to come back" she asked herself.
" Kagome." the voice said.
" It's so nice here"
" Kagome, come back..please."
" Its so nice here.." she repeated again.
" Its nice because I can't feel anything."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This time:
Everyone was worried about Kagome. She's been unconscious ever since the day that Inuyasha was dragged to Hell with Kikyo. No one was more worried than her adopted son, Shippo, and of course, Kurama. They both stayed by her side, never straying too far from her. Both refusing to eat and sleep.
" Okaa-san . . . . Wake up. . . . Please. . . . It's been a week now. . . ." he whined quietly.
Kagome lay there unmoving, the only signs showing that she was alive was her ragged breathing. She lay there in Kaede's hut, half alive and half dead. Shippo stayed there for hours until he felt two arms pry him off his mother's side.
" Shippo, you have to eat and rest now. I'll watch her until you get back."
Shippo yawned and staggered outside. Emerald green eyes watched Kagome's still form with concern. He reached for her hand and grasped it tightly in his own.
". . . . . .Kagome. . . . . Please come back to us. . . ." he whispered desperately.
'Both my legs had sank into love, waited for a very long time.
Your hands swept past from my fingers, I can only touch but I can't hold.
There's many things in my heart I want to say, but you just watch me silently.
This way of loving, what is wrong? '
Kurama tucked a stray strand of hair from her face, hoping the gesture would wake her up. His hopes were brought up when her eyes fluttered rapidly, but were dashed when she gave no other signs of acknowledging him.
'Even destiny finds it difficult to convince me.
I am not a scarecrow, who can't move, who can't talk.
Love has been tightly bound to my heart.
I am not a scarecrow, no one loves, no one understands.
How tough, how crazy, I want the result.
I am not a scarecrow, watching the sun rise and sun set.
Just waiting for you to give me your hands.
I am not a scarecrow, who don't dream, who don't hit back.
Don't use tears to force me to let go.
Even if the whole world laughs at me, who dare say it's wrong to love someone.
Even if the whole world blames me, I only want you to leave with me.
I am not a scarecrow, who can't move, who can't talk.
Love has been tightly bound to my heart.
I am not a scarecrow, no one loves, no one understands.
How tough, how crazy, I want the result.
I am not a scarecrow, watching the sun rise and sun set.
Just waiting for you to give me your hands.
I am not a scarecrow, who don't dream, who don't hit back.
Don't use tears to force me to let go.'

************************************************************************
With Naraku
Somewhere far South, lay a run down palace, amid ruin and decay. A cloud of miasma hung around it, preventing anything to thrive there, and making the atmosphere around it look eerie. Deep inside the palace, was Naraku, a diabolical hanyou. He sat, brooding, in a dark corner of his room.
" Inuyasha. . . . Kikyo. . . . Both chose the path of death instead of life. . . ."
He chuckled and called for one of his incarnate, Kanna, to show him the location of the other shards. The mirror showed Koga's shards, then switched to the shards Kagome has.
" This makes it so much easier to gather the rest. . . " he mused to himself.
" The wolf will come to that miko girl, and then I'll strike and take the remaining shards. . . . "
He then summoned his other incarnate, Kagura, to him.
" You called, Naraku?" she asked him coldly.
" Prepare for battle. We will attack the rest of Inuyasha's group in two months. Gather as many demons as you can, and bring them to the holy mountain. Then lead that idiot wolf to the shard hunters one week before the two months are over."
He dismissed them all and waited. The new moon was in one month. There was plenty of time to form himself a new body, he will be more than ready by then.
As Kagura left the room, she set out towards the Western Lands in search of the Lord Sesshomaru, on her feather.
' Just two months, before everything Fate has planned comes together. This battle will decide whether Naraku gets the Shikon Jewel or not. Two months will be gone in a blink of an eye, it is not enough. . . .'
************************************************************************
With Sesshomaru
The Lord of the Western Lands was patrolling his borders, when Kagura floated down within his line of vision. In a blur of white and red, he had the wind sorceress up in the air, with his hand around her neck.
" Naraku's incarnation, I presume?"
" Lord Sesshomaru. . ." she gasped out, while trying to loosen his hold on her neck.
" Your half brother is gone, Naraku will attack the miko in two months. . ."
" Tell me why I should not kill you for mentioning my bastard half brother in front of me."
" Naraku will attack in two months. . . I am only telling you this, because I want to be rid of him as much as you."
Sesshomaru looked at her for another minute, then dropped her onto the ground. She rubbed her neck, and summoned her feather, and floated away from his sight.
The news of Inuyasha's death did not bother him in the slightest bit. To him, the world was one hanyou less.
So with that thought brought another to mind.
' Inuyasha is dead, the Tetsusaiga will be mine, and Naraku will strike the miko in two months. . . .'
So, after thinking that, he decided to pay a little visit to the miko. He would get the answers he needed, and the sword that so rightfully belonged to him.
************************************************************************
Youko goddess: Sorry if I couldn't get some of the characters' personalities right . . . . I really don't know much about Naraku's incarnation nor Sesshomaru. . . . But am doing my best from what little I have seen about them . . . .
************************************************************************
With Koga and his pack
Koga was just lounging outside of his den when a wolf ran up to him.
" Koga, rumor has it that mutt, Inuyasha died!!"
That caught his attention immediately. News of that mutt's death meant that Kagome can be his, without anyone making her say no. So he got up and informed everyone that he was going to see Kagome. He left towards Inuyasha's forest in a whirlwind of dust.
************************************************************************
In Hell with the mutt and clay pot
Inuyasha sat on the reddened ground with his arms crossed. The world around him was dark and full of ominous shadows. It was a bleak and gloomy place to be in, and Inuyasha was beginning to regret his choice.
Kikyo stood a ways off from Inuyasha, she was not satisfied with what had happened. She had thought she loved him, then thought he betrayed and came back from the dead with hatred for him. Then she had thought that bringing him to Hell with her would make her happy, but alas the world she was in did not allow happiness, only despair and mockery.
Inuyasha sighed and opened his eyes. He thought he saw a cookie jar brimming to the lid with chocolate chip cookies, another treat he was fond of. He took a tentative step towards it, and when it didn't disappear, he ran towards it.
Without thinking, he stuffed the jar on his head and gulped down all the cookies. As soon as he had finished, he tugged at the jar, but to his surprised, it didn't come off. So he ran around stupidly, bashing his head at the stone walls, hoping to break it. Hours had passed and he knocked himself unconscious from all that banging he had done earlier.
Kikyo had watched all of this, and that brought a small smirk to her lips. But her mirth soon vanished, and she wondered to herself.
' Why die for the jewel, when this will be what you get in the end. . ?'
She sighed sadly and wistfully wished to have another chance at redemption.
************************************************************************
Youko goddess: I know they were both sent to Hell, but I couldn't resist bringing them back into the fic. After all, this chapter will have almost every character in here.
************************************************************************
Back in the Modern Era, at Kagome's school
Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka visited the shrine, asking to see Kagome. Her grandfather had informed them that Kagome is in bed, with a mix of chicken pox and the measles. Hojo had visited a few hour hours later, and her grandfather had informed him that Kagome was in a coma like state in her bed while suffering from arthritis in her back.
To those people who didn't know of Kagome's adventures in Feudal Japan, they all thought she was slowly dying from rare diseases.
************************************************************************
With Sango and Hiei
Sango sat under the God Tree, depressed. It had been a full week, and still Kagome did not show any signs of waking up. She was worried and afraid that she will lose someone she has considered a part of her non existent family.
Kohaku had died long ago, the one that Naraku was controlling was not him. It had taken her a long time to finally accept that Kohaku was dead, and not alive.
She looked up to the branches of the tree, hoping to find solace from it. The leaves rustled softly, and a figure in black landed next to her, silently. Sango turned her head, brown eyes met with ruby eyes.
" Hiei? What are you doing here?"
" Hn. Sleeping, until you came and your stench woke me up." he said.
Sango glared at him half heartedly, but then quickly averted her eyes, still concerned for Kagome.
Hiei looked at her for a moment, then turned around and walked back towards the camp.
" You're not alone." he said gruffly, stopping, waiting for her to catch up.
Sango stared at him, then got up and walked beside him. Both walked back, lost in their own thoughts, and feelings.
************************************************************************
With Miroku and Boton
Miroku was sitting at the edge of the village on a hill. Boton was out wandering, when she saw Mirkou's profile, silhouetted against the moon. She climbed up the hill, and sat beside him, he was looking at his right hand with a concerned expression.
" Why are you so concerned about your Wind Tunnel, Miroku-san?"
" Lady Boton, I am only concerned because in time, my Wind Tunnel will eventually consume me, along with any others in close range."
Boton lowered her eyes, to his right hand. Wondering if there was anything she could do to delay his fate. Then it came to her, she was the Lady Death, there must be something she can do.
" Miroku-san, I think that there may be something I can do to for your predicament."
He turned his head to see her, his face broke into a wide smile. Boton smiled in return, but soon frowned, and summoned her oar and whacked him across the head with it.
" You perverted monk!!" she screeched.
Boton huffed, and swung the oar over her shoulder. She stalked away, and left Miroku there, unconscious. He soon recovered and rubbed his newly acquired mark.
" Well, it was worth the pain." he said, still smiling.
************************************************************************
With Yusuke and Kuwabara
" I can kick your little hide any day, Urameshii!!"
" Try it, and you'll just meet with the dirt!!"
" Oh yeah?"
" Yeah!!"
The two fought like this for hours, before falling asleep where they stand after wearing each other out.
************************************************************************
Back in Kagome's mind
The dark oppressed her from all sides, and she gave in. Her mind replayed a few memories, but only one stood out in her eyes.
'Quietly awakening. . .
I always, always wish
That these fleeting thoughts
Would reach you. . .
Unable to move across "just a little more" distance
The way I see before me is always blocked
Every time the days I want to see you but can't pile up,
My strong heartbeat turns into heart break.
If there is such a thing as "eternity,"
I want to believe, even if I have to take the long way.
Although I know that I've been hurt before because I'm clumsy
I won't stop; I won't give in to anyone.
I think of you
And that alone is enough
To make the ears start to flow now
I always, always wish
That these fleeting thoughts
Would reach you. . . .'
Emerald green eyes, framed with red hair stood out among her memories. A soft, caring voice called out to her across the darkness.
'I've known all too well about pretending to be strong.
But since then, my doubts have vanished.
There's definitely things I want to show you
And so many words I want to hear
I want to see all sides of you, when you laugh and cry
So I'll stop waiting
And seize my "chance."
I think of you,
And I feel like that alone is enough
To make my heart go stronger.
I always, always wish
That these fleeting thoughts
Would reach you. . . .
I think of you
And that alone is enough
To make the tears start to flow now
My distant voice can't reach you now, but so that someday
It definitely will. . . .
Believe. La la la la la la. . . .
Believe. La la la la la la. . . .
Believe. La la la la la la. . . .'
( I do not own ' My Will')
The darkness lifted slowly, her world growing lighter by the minute. She felt herself rise up slowly, as her eyes fluttered open.
************************************************************************
Back with Kurama
Kurama was still in the same position he had been in for the last week. His hand still held hers tightly. His eyes never straying from her face. Just when sleep was about to claim him, he saw her eyes open slowly. Her mouth forming one word.
" Kurama."
************************************************************************
Youko goddess: Please don't hurt me, since this won't be a Hiei/kag fic. . . And I really hope you won't stop reading this because you don't like the pairing. . .
S+S-fan: Oh!! And chapter 8 is modified to fit the pairings now. . .
Inuyasha: This is about the longest chapter you ever wrote, and I think it sucked!! Why did you make my head get stuck in a cookie jar?!!
Youko goddess: Shut up already Inu-baka!! Remember, you're in Hell? I had to torture you somehow. . .
S+S-fan: Until then everyone, ja ne!!
Youko goddess: Ok, chapter ten is here and the votes came in unanimous!! Kur/kag wins, which means I only need to make a slight adjustment in ch.8!! I had other people read my fic, and they voted Kur/kag too. . . . so I'm very sorry for those who want Hiei/kag...but be on the lookout for my new Inuyasha YuYuHakusho crossover fic, which stars Hiei/kag!!

Kagome: Well, remember that Youko goddess and S+S-fan do not own Inuyasha and YuYuHakusho. . . . .
Shippo: Now go on and enjoy the chapter!! ^___^
