Chapter Four
Silence reigned upon the room then a yell that had the ogres in the hall outside crash into each other, "WHAT!!!!"
"Hehehe, well she had to complete the first prophecy before the rest could be complete. So, she couldn't be distracted and neither could you. So, hehehe I kinda just chanted a spell to make you all forget- epp", Koenma jumped behind his desk away from Yusuke.
Yusuke leaped at Koenma. Kurama and Hiei jumped up and held him back.
"Calm down, he will revise the spell. Right?" ,Kurama turned towards Koenma raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, yes I will reverse it. Just sit down." ,Yusuke shot him a withering glare before returning to his seat. He stood trying to regain dignity.
"Ready? Now you will remember he but she wont remember you till you perform the spell over her."
"Just do it toddler"
"Ok, here we go, everyone else step back."
When everyone had done so Koenma stepped up to Yusuke and put it hand on his forehead,
"Return, seiromem nruter ot mih fo eht seno nettogrof. Tel mih evah eht rewop ot tel reh rebmemer mih", When the chant ended there was a bright flash of light when it faded out Yusuke stood.
Yusuke walked over to Koenma who was backing up fear. The next thing anyone knew Yusuke was hitting Koenma over the head repeatedly, his spirit energy coming out of his hands without him directing it. That was a sign of how mad he was. He was yelling about stupid toddlers and other rants they caught every so offten,
"How dare you to take Kagome away like that!!! If I wasn't sure you wouldn't die I would kill you!! I can try though!!!"
It took everyone to pry him off the toddler. When Yusuke calmed down enough to be let go, Koenma started to tell the their mission, he winced a little he had a busted lip.
"All of you need to protect Yusuke's cousin Kagome. She just finished the first two parts of the prophecy. She defeated Nuraku and turned into a youkai/miko. I want two of you with her at all times. I mean all time. I don't care if some of those times are embarrassing, Aloku can create a portal anywhere. Now I will open a portal to the Higurashi shrine. To have Kagome remember you perform the same ceremony I did. Any questions?"
With a glance around he saw that there were some, but he cut them off not wanting to deal with them anymore, and before Yusuke figured out he could die if the attack was powerful enough.
"Ok, now go."
Koenma was relieved that he lived through telling Yusuke about his cousin. Now he hoped he could survive the cousin when she found out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Higurashi Shrine~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A portal appeared and they all walked through to find themselves at a long set of stairs.
"Oh man, I forgot how many stairs there were." Yusuke groaned. They started to ascend the mountain of stairs.
Kurama secretly loved this whole mess. This was all turning into a puzzle. As Youko, a kitsune, he naturally loved puzzles. As Kurama he loved puzzles, so he hoped he could solve it.
When they reached the top, they stood there. They felt for ki's, to see if there was danger. When they did, all of them felt two youki. Hiei and Kurama could smell two Kitsunes. There were faint traces of three humans that hadn't been there in awhile. They couldn't smell any blood though. They all walked up to the door and Yusuke knocked.
A few minutes later a girl answered the door. When they looked up all sucked in their breath. A beautiful girl stood with shinning black hair, bright blue eyes and a smile on her face.
"Hello, can I help you?" ,Her voice was musical, with a bit of laughter in it.
Yusuke couldn't believe how much she changed on the outside. She was beautiful, and he hadn't been there to watch her grow up. He wasn't there when she was in trouble. He remembered they had been very close almost like blood siblings. He felt a wave of anger run through his veins at Koenma for taking away his cousin.
Kurama stood there his eyes moving over her figure, his mouth slightly agape. This was Yusuke's cousin. She was, 'Beautiful'
@~*~~Yeah, she is the most beautiful creature in the worlds. I have to have her. Don't just stand there with your mouth hanging open for flies!! Do something, say something!!!!@~*~~
'I thought you would look closer than the outside?'
@~*~~Fine, but we cant wait to long. Someone is going to take her. We need to take her. She will be our mate@~*~~
'Mate? You aren't going to just sleep with her?'
Youko had never taken such a "liking" to someone like this. A mate to a sliver kitsune was for life.
@~*~~Oh.. We wont be sleeping. But yes, mate. You don't just mess around with a girl like this@~*~~
'That's good, because I like her too.'
#Fox?#
'Yes Hiei?'
#That's her#
'But I thought you-'
#Remember Koenma said she is now a youkai/miko#
'Oh yes'
#Great# ,Kurama could feel the roll of Hiei's eyes in his thoughts, #The Baka is going to speak first#
Sure enough Kuwabara was the only one who had recovered fast enough to speak. He ran to Kagome with hearts in his eyes. He grabbed her hands while kneeling.
"Will you go out with me? Your beautiful."
The rest of the group had all expected for her to recoil or runaway in horror. They didn't expect for what she did.
Kagome glanced down at the tall, slightly misshapen, red haired boy on the porch. She had a blank look on her face,
'Oh my god!!! Another Miroku!! This is just too funny'
Kagome broke out in laughter and had to hold the door frame for support. She laughed so hard tears streamed down her cheeks. Hiei just stood there looking slightly amused for those who could tell. Kuwabara started to stand and back away in fear muttering something about crazy girls. Yusuke was growling, he didn't want Kagome going out with that baka, she deserved better.
Kurama was surprisingly also growling, Youko wanted this girl and sure he liked her, but he had yet to actually know her. Strangely enough it felt right to be growling at anyone who wouldn't treat her the way she deserved. He was sure Kuwabara wouldn't treat her the way she should be treated. With the grip Kuwabara had on her, he had to hold Youko back.
When Kagome's laughing subsided to the occasional chuckle she addressed the group,
"I'm sorry about that. It's just you remind me so much of someone I know. So, how may I help you?"
She glanced at the group. The first one she saw was the one that had grabbed her hand. He had red hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue uniform from the new school she would be attending tomorrow. He was taller than everyone else and had a ki akin to a child.
The next person her eyes landed on was a boy in blue jeans and a green coat. His black hair was slicked black and his brown eyes sparking with something. It was like his eyes were pleading with her to remember something. His ki was like a little youkai and a human, yet it was not quite a Hanyou's. Everything about him was familiar but she couldn't place it. She had to pry her eyes away to inspect the rest of the group.
The next boy was a youkai, yet not. He was a human, yet not. It was very confusing, it was like a puzzle, one she wanted to solve.
'That's the kitsune in me speaking. I know it.' ,She turned her thoughts back to the handsome boy.
He was in a magenta uniform. It was styled like her new schools yet it was a different color. She wondered if you could get the uniforms in different colors? She took in his features in slow decrease. He was taller than her by a few inches. He had long, silky, gorgeous red hair. His bone structure was that of an aristocrat in the feudal era. He had piercing green eyes that she lost her self in. When looking in his eyes she felt herself move to a lavish forest. She could smell the roses coming off him. Then as fast as it started she was back at the shrine. Disappointed she couldn't go back to the forest she looked at the last boy.
He too was a youkai. He stood stiffly to the side. He had black hair that stood straight up with a white star in the middle starting from his forehead. His forehead was covered in a white bandana. He was shorter than her by a couple of inches about 5'6. His eyes were so dark crimson they were almost black. He wore a black trench coat that hid his form. When she felt his ki her eyes took a sad note to them. She knew that type of ki, she understood the pain that he had. The pain of not being accepted. First Inu-Yasha, because he was a Hanyou. Then Miroku because of his curse. Last was Sango for being the last of her village. She knew she could tell he thought she was pitying him, but she wasn't. When he was reaching for his sword she said two words,
"I understand."
Wide eyed the rest of the group turned to Hiei.
"Hn." Hiei stopped reaching for his sword. He could tell she was telling the truth, for some reason. Even without using his third eye.
"What are youkai doing here anyways, with a sword no less?" ,Kagome thought aloud.
When Kagome realized what she was saying aloud, she gasped and closed the door in their faces. She spread her arms across the door and looked thorough the peep hole with terror.
'Oh crap! Oh crap! Did I say youkai in front of them? Did they notice? Oh crap! I have got to get out of here!'
She grabbed Shippo who had been standing next to her to see what the commotion was all about. He had transformed to look around Sota's age. He had bushy red hair and crisp green eyes. He stared up to her curiously. Kagome ran to he room, she opened the window and quickly judged the distance. She held tight to Shippo and jumped. She landed on a sturdy limb, and sighed in relief she landed alright with Shippo. She started to work her way down, balancing Shippo on the branch for him to climb down also.
"KAGOME HIGURASHI!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN THAT TREE? YOU CAN GET HURT!!"
'That voice' ,Kagome was so startled she fell out of the tree.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*After the door was closed~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The boys just stood there, their mouths agape. They were surprised by the mood swing.
Yusuke stared at the door, than at Hiei. Than at the door, than back to Hiei. He began to repeat the process.
Kuwabara looked at the door, he than looked at his friends. When he looked at Kurama, he noticed a cat past him run into the sounding forest. He ran after it, none noticed when he left.
Hiei and Kurama were stunned. Hiei thought that Kagome had been pitying him. No one pitted him. He was going to kill her then she said she understood. That's what confused him. When she stared him in the eyes. Her eyes looked into his very soul. Then she had said youkai and closed the door in his face. He wanted an explanation. How could she understand?
Kurama was stunned for two reasons: The first being that she had stunted Hiei, normally no one would be able to get any type of emotion out of him. The second being how much more beautiful she looked when in thought. They way she bit those luscious lips. The way her brow had formed a cute pout. He had noticed that when she inspected the group, her eyes had stayed longer on him. When she stared in his eyes she felt him glance into his soul. He had noticed the disappointed look in her eyes when he had come to. Both Kurama and Youko felt very pleased with themselves.
'Wow, I never felt like this before. I feel instantly connected with her.'
@~*~~I feel it too. I agree, I too have never felt this way Did you see those lips? God I just wanted to suck on one if she ever stopped. I think I will when she is our mate so get to it!@~*~~
'Now is not the time'
A smell of her panic entered the air. It broke Kurama and Hiei out of their thoughts.
"She's going to run." ,Hiei stated calmly.
"What do you mean?" ,Yusuke asked startled out of his thoughts. He was thinking of a way to get her to recognize him a little without the spell. They were so close before, she couldn't forget about him totally. He was starting to remember times when he remembered her for brief moments, but pushed the thought off.
"She is giving off a sent of panic. She is scared and so she is going to run." ,Kurama told him. Kurama then ran around the corner of the house.
"Hn. She is climbing out the top story window." ,Hiei said when he felt for her youki, then he too disappeared around the corner of the house.
"She's WHAT?" Yusuke followed the two.
When he found them they were watching Kagome and a small boy climb down the tree. Yusuke was mad that she would risk her life so foolishly. So he yelled at her, reprimanding her. He didn't however give thought about if he startled her.
"KAGOME HIGURASHI!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN THAT TREE? YOU CAN GET HURT!!"
She missed her step and fell out of the tree startled at the voice. Kurama's breath caught in his throat, he ran faster than Hiei, and caught her mid fall. He landed with her safe on the ground. He held her bridal style. Her head buried in his neck and her arms wrapped around his chest.
Kagome waited for the impact of the ground. When it didn't come she opened her eyes to red.
'Red?'
When she realized it was hair she could have smacked herself. Then she felt to strong arms holding her. She raised her head and found herself staring into those green eyes again. They stayed like that for a moment before Shippo's yelling had her looking back at the tree.
"Kaa-san!!! Are you ok?!"
She felt Kurama stiffen, 'What's that about?'
All the boys were thinking one thing:, 'Kaa-san?'
"You have a son? Who's the father? If he left I am going to kill him!" ,Yusuke growled. Kurama was think the same thing, he couldn't voice his thoughts since is wasn't his place, yet.
"Yes, and it's not what you think his adopted. Even if he wasn't you have no place to do or say anything." ,She turned her head making the biggest dismissal she could, still in the red heads arms.
Kurama's heart pumped faster in his chest.
'She's not mated? She adopted a kitsune? She also smells like one. This is perfect.'
Kagome cleared her throat for the red head to let her down. When he glanced down at her question she decided to remind him,
"Thank you for catching me, but you can put me down now."
"No, I think I will take you inside to get some rest after the shock of falling, while you listen to an explanation." ,Somehow Youko had managed to escape for a moment.
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING? She will never like us if you treat her like that'
@~*~~Well sorry, you would have put her down and I like the feel of her in our arms. Thank you very much. So get moving@~*~~
Kurama didn't reply, but he silently agreed. It felt like she belonged in his arms. He couldn't figure out why he was so taken with her in such a short, sort amount of time. It wasn't logical. But he figured stranger things have happened.
Kagome was needless to say shocked. 'How dare he treat me like I'm was some type of..of..of….I'm so mad I can't even think of anything!'
"Put my mother down!! Let her go!! If you want to fight, I will fight you!!" Shippo jumped down the rest of the tree after watching the conversation. He didn't like the way they scolded her.
He puffed out his chest and took and Inu-Yasha like stance in front of them. With his arms crossed and his nose in the air. Kagome couldn't help herself and giggled. Her angry mood gone.
"No, its ok honey. Lets go inside and talk. I'll make you some chocolate milk."
She had been teaching Shippo about her time since they got home earlier to find her family gone. They left a note saying they had gone to England to visit her mom's friend. They wouldn't be back for another month. It kind of helped giving time for Shippo to agust, and her time to think of a way to explain things to her family. While showing Shippo the refrigerator he had discovered the chocolate milk. He went nuts over it. He proved it yet again when he ran in a circle then into the house yelling ,
"Chocolate!!!"
The rest of the group followed him in. Shippo was nowhere in sight when they entered the house. Kagome knew where he was and yelled,
"Don't drink it all!!"
There was a disappointed groan from the kitchen then an ok. The group walked to the living room and sat. Yusuke in a chair, Hiei in a corner. Kurama almost didn't release Kagome but did when she glared at him. So he set her in the couch small enough for two people. He sat next to her.
"Well, first off I think you need to introduce yourselves. I'm Kagome Higurashi and my son's name is Shippo Higurashi." ,Kagome started.
"I'm Shuichi Minamino, but my friends call me Kurama. You may call me Kurama."
,When he stated his human name Kagome gasped. She knew he was the smartest kid at the new school she was going to. It did suck for them to change the school district. This was her last year of high school and she had to start somewhere new.
"I'm Yusuke Urameshi." ,Yusuke waited for some type of recognition in her eyes. Maybe she would remember him on her own. He knew it was hopeless and he need to perform the spell, but he just hoped.
"I'm sorry but have I meet you before? I feel like I should know you but its just not coming no matter how hard I try." ,Kagome asked, she was getting frustrated the answer wouldn't come.
"Well kind of. I will explain in a moment." ,Yusuke was a little happy she felt something.
"Hn. I'm Hiei." ,Yusuke and Kurama just were getting to many shocks today. Hiei was voluntarily giving out his name to someone.
Yusuke wanted to get it over with so he would know what was going on with her that she would turn into a youkai/miko. He wanted to find out how she got involved with youkai in the first place. He decided the truth with him would be the first way to gain trust, "This is going to seem kind of odd but just listen. Ok?"
When she nodded her head, he started his story of how it all began.
"One day I was walking down the sidewalk and there was this little kid playing with his ball….." (Sorry but I didn't see EVERY episode and don't know all the facts. So I'm not going to write it. Hopefully you all know the Whole story.)
#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~After the explanation#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~
"…And then my boss tells me this morning that I have a cousin that is a youkai/miko and he made our families forget each other till a ceremony is done. That cousin is you, Kagome. I'm sorry for forgetting you, sorry I had to say that for when you do remember. Try not to kill me, it wasn't my fault. So.. Do you want me to perform the ceremony?"
"Oh boy, that's a lot to take in. Well let me think about this for a minuet. How do I know you aren't lying to me? I mean you could what to put a spell on me and take what's in my possession. But…. for the same reason as I said earlier, I'm going to trust you. If you are lying I'm warning you now, Do.. Not.. Cross.. Me.." ,Kagome made a point of hissing the last words threateningly.
Yusuke walked over to Kagome and kneeled to her level. He placed his hand on her forehead, he spoke the incantation,
"Return, seiromem nruter ot reh fo eht seno nettogrof. Tel reh evah eht rewop ot tel mih rebmemer reh."
When he finished the same bright light from earlier surrounded the room. While the light was so bright, they were blinded, then herd Kagome scream in pain. When the light died down they found her slumped against Kurama.
"What happened?" ,Yusuke leaned in concerned.
Shippo ran into the room at Kagome's scream. When he saw Kagome slumped against the red headed, his protective instincts kicked in. He turned back into his kitsune form in front of the boy's eyes. His eyes bled red and he turned into a small red fox. He growled at the boys threateningly and made small barks.
Kurama understood the fox language, he knew the only way to pacify him was to offer him Kagome. Everyone stood staring at the little fox. They made slow movements away from Kagome. It would have been very easy to knock out the kit but they didn't want to hurt him because of Kagome. Kurama carefully picked up Kagome and slowly place her in front of the still growling fox. He then slowly backed away. When Shippo deemed them far enough away, he went up to Kagome and sniffed her. When he realized she was not physically hurt he licked her check to try to wake her.
Kurama stood behind the couch watching the scene with amazement. Any young youkai would not protect their family unless they were vary close, which was not often. If they lost their parents a young youkai, especially a kitsune, would not go near any form of life in fear of their safety. They were very untrusting, for him to go into a rage was unique. Kagome would definitely make a good mother their kits.
@~*~~So you admit you do want her?@~*~~
'Yes'
@~*~~And her kit?@~*~~
'Yes, and you?'
@~*~~Yes, I want her for my mate, I wouldn't mind the kit either. He is rather amazing, he is so young yet threatening. He needs to be trained though. After talking with Kagome and seeing her interact with her kit, no other will do@~*~~
'She needs a say in this, I also want to get to know her better before.'
@~*~~Yes, but we will make sure she will say yes. As to getting to know her better, you better speed things up. This Youko will not wait.@~*~~
'Yes, but at this moment we need to get her away from the kit to find what is wrong with her'
@~*~~Send out your sleeping seed. It will not hurt the kit and we can find out what is wrong with Kagome@~*~~
#Hn. I agree with the fox#
' Have you been listening this whole time?'
#Yes, although Yusuke might have something to say about the mating part.#
'I will speak to him of my intentions later. At the moment I will deal with the kit'
When they closed link, Kurama flipped his hair and released a seed. The seed flew and landed by the kit. A clear gas seeped out of the seed and the kit breathed it in. He fell to the ground next to Kagome, and detransformed.
"What just happened?" ,Yusuke asked moving over to Kagome and lifting her in his arms.
"The kit thought we did something to her and his instincts took over to try to protect her." ,Kurama picked up the kit. He went up the stairs, Yusuke leading to where he remembered Kagome's room was.
"Oh. But I meant what happened to Kagome?" ,Yusuke was staring at Kagome deep in thought about their past.
"I don't know. I think it might have to do with her miko powers." Kurama answered after a moment.
"So what do we do now?" ,Yusuke asked as he set Kagome in the bed, tucking her in gently.
"Wait till they wake up." ,Kurama replied tucking the kit in next to her.
Kagome instinctively reached for the kit and cuddled him close to her. She sighed in contentment.
Kurama sighed, there was a lot of explaining to do on both sides. On the bright side the puzzle of her was growing, and he couldn't wait to find out the pieces.
Kurama turned around to ask Yusuke if he wanted to stay with her or if he should. But when he turned Yusuke wasn't there. He felt for his ki and found him in the kitchen.
'I guess I will stay. Not that I mind.'
He looked over at Kagome with Shippo snuggled into her. He put his fingers lightly on her cheek. He was battling himself wither to give into the temptation he had since seeing her. He glanced around to see if there was anyone. When he saw there was no one he decided to give in. He tilted her head and leaned down. He hesitantly pressed his lips to her soft ones. She tasted like cherries, and chocolate. It was very enticing. When she started to respond to his ministrations he debated yet again. There was only so much a man could take and her innocent response was pushing the limit. He couldn't imagine what would happen if she were awake and willing. When that crossed his mind he broke away guiltily. He was taking advantage of her. He was very disappointed, but oddly pleased. She had responded to HIM, he was sure if she didn't want to be kissed, even in her sleep, she would have a way to stop it. She had enough power. Not only youkai, but her miko. Her ki was ripped and looked as dam had been broken. Something had made her powers break free faster than normal. Most mikos received their powers in slow decrease, something or someone had forced it free. He knew whoever had must have felt a lot of pain. While in thought he didn't hear her stir.
When Kagome woke up she smelled roses, it was a nice smell to wake-up to. She slowly opened her eyes to see Kurama. The way the light hit him made him look like an angel.
'My angel'
'Where did that come from? This is very weird. Its like I can't take my eyes off him. Ever since I saw that forest, I felt instantly connected to him. I feel things that I had never felt for Inu-Yasha. Why now? Why him? Not that I'm complaining. Oh well, might as well take in the sights while I can. Otherwise I have to explain to Yusuke about the well….Oh yea YUSUKE!! I can't believe what that stupid toddler did!! Although I am a little grateful, because of him Yusuke didn't find out earlier and fight with me. He could have been hurt. But still to take away Yusuke!!! I'm surprised I could ever forget about him. He was like my big brother and best friend. I'm going to kill that toddler if I ever see him!!!! I will!!!…………want to kiss him'
While Kagome had been having heated thoughts in her head, Kurama had popped in her line of site. The first thing she had seen were his lips. Her heated thoughts turned into a completely different category of heated. When she finally realized he was speaking to her while she was staring into space because of the boy right in front of her she blushed to her roots.
"Kagome? I asked if you were ok?"
"Um…. Yea so, what happened. I felt my memories return and then this searing pain course through my body." ,She slowly got out of bed, her legs felt a little like jelly. She almost fell back onto the bed, where she would have crushed Shippo, if Kurama had not put an arm around her waist to support her. They both slightly blushed at the contact.
When Kagome got the feeling back in her legs she pulled away regretfully. She turned and tucked Shippo into the bedding more to replace the loss of her body heat. When she turned back Kurama had a weird look on his face.
"Well, I guess I have some explaining to do to Yusuke. Do you know where he is?" ,Kagome asked fighting a blush that came when she realized that SHE has been in her BEDROOM ALONE with a HANDSOME boy.
"I believe he was in the kitchen the last time I checked." ,Kurama offered his arm to escort her out of the room. She took it shyly, not used to a guy being so gentlemany towards her. If she wanted a boy to treat her with respect she either had to sit Inu-Yasha a few times, or in Miroku's case smack him.
When they arrived downstairs it was to see Yusuke talking to a short brown haired girl. Well actually the girl was yelling, and Yusuke was pleading with her about telling her personally about his next mission.
Kagome didn't know who the girl was but she didn't like the way she was treating Yusuke.
"I will ask you once, to politely refrain from raising your voice to my cousin." ,When she spoke it was soft, yet had a devastating effect on the room. All motion and yelling came to a halt.
Kiko turned wide eyed to the voice that spoke so politely but in a deadly underling manor.
Hiei raced into the room from the living room. He looked mad and tense. His hand on the hilt of his sword.
Yusuke looked shocked she would speak that way to anyone. He was also ecstatic she now remembered him. He ran to her and enveloped her in a hug.
Kurama stood to the side. He felt like he knew how she felt when she saw Yusuke being yelled at. He couldn't understand how. Ever since he met her he felt the connection. It just didn't make sense. That type of stuff only came with-
'…Soul mates, but that type of occurrence was rare. For one to find their soul mate, it was a one in…..I can't think of how high that odd is. '
@~*~~Well, *I* knew.@~*~~ ,Youko said in a smug voice.
'No, you didn't!! You thought it was odd just like me. It was me that thought of it.'
@~*~~I know@~*~~ ,You could her the sigh in his voice, but it became happy yet again when he remembered Kagome, @~*~~But we found *our* soul mate. How is it possible for two souls to have the same soul mate. Wait what I mean… oh this is confusing..@~*~~
'It's ok. I understand what you mean. I think that we should ask Koenma about this. Till then, I am not leaving Kagome's side. Like I said earlier soul mates are rare.'
When he was done with the conversation he realized he had been unconsciously moved with the group to sit in the living room. Luckily they were just started talking.
"Damn it Kagome, I want to know what's going on!!" ,Yusuke yelled with no room for argument.
Kagome wasn't having it. She just got her cousin back after three and a half years, she didn't expect for hi to be yelling at her. He himself had been in a weird story, where did he get off telling her. She had just as much right to reprimand him too.
"Don't you talk that way to me Yusuke Urameshi!! I just remembered you and this is what I get!! Besides you went through stuff too!! So don't get on me about what I couldn't control!!" ,Kagome yelled back at him.
"Well then tell me" ,Yusuke sat down on the couch with Kiko, who decided it was best to wait for her explanations.
"Fine. Everyone take a seat. This is going to take awhile." ,When everyone was seated, Kagome started a nervous pace. She didn't know what to expect of Yusuke's reaction when the story was over. After all they both change a bit. When she finally figured she should tell them the whole thing, sparing no details, she started,
"It was on my fifteenth birthday. I was getting, what I thought was Boyu out of the well. While down there a big youkai appeared. Later I learned it was a centipede youkai. Anyways it pulled me into the well, talking about this jewel….." (Again, Sorry but I didn't see EVERY episode and don't know all the facts. So I'm not going to write it. Hopefully you all know the Whole story.)
#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~After the explanation#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~#^~
"….I just got back. I came through the well this morning. I have spent the whole day teaching Shippo about my time. My family left for a month in England. Their visiting some friends. I had just read the note and made Shippo chocolate milk when you came to the door. Now here I am…so ummm yea…" ,Kagome trailed off at everyone's looks.
Just then the front door burst open revealing a figure holding a big yellow backpack.
"Oi. Wench. You left this….WHO THE HELL ARE THEY!!! RUN KAGOME I'LL KILL THEM!!" ,Yelled the white haired hanyou, that had been one of the main characters in the story Kagome had been telling.
"Osuwari!! Inu-Yasha, NOT EVERYONE IS EVIL!!!" ,Kagome yelled when Inu-Yasha headed towards Yusuke.
Yusuke and the others couldn't believe they were too distracted to not sense him coming.
Kagome however knew he was coming yet after retelling her story, she wanted to vent a LITTLE anger towards Inu-Yasha.
"Bitch! What did you do that for! Their youkai!" ,Inu-Yasha, when recovered from the Osuwari, walked towards Kagome growling.
Yusuke couldn't believe this was the hanyou Kagome was talking about. He liked him for saving Kagome when needed. But he didn't like the way Inu-Yasha treated her. When Kagome had told him about Inu-Yasha, he thought she had been embellishing a bit. Apparently not.
Kurama was upset at what Inu-Yasha said. He already admitted he liked Kagome, a lot. This Inu-Yasha was competition. Kurama had never had competition before. Normally it was the girls that had competition. But he had Youko, and Youko was to say 'The charmer.'
Hiei found this amusing. Kurama liked the girl. This hanyou, Inu-Yasha he could tell liked her too. Yet when he read his mind he found Inu-Yasha's firm resolve to be a big brother to Kagome. The funny part was Kurama didn't know that. The hanyou, who had now become her family, did not know of Kurama's intentions. This was going to be in the baka's words 'The funniest thing in the world.'
Kiko was sorry she yelled at Yusuke. She understood now what Botan said 'Don't go, Yusuke needs to do this without anything else on his mind.' Kiko thought that she was just trying to keep her away from the mission, and Yusuke.
Kagome sighed, it just wasn't her day. All she wanted was to go home, tell Shippo about her time, pack for tomorrow, and finally sleep.
"What are you doing here anyways Inu-Yasha, I thought I just left" ,She raised an eyebrow when Inu-Yasha blushed slightly and held out her yellow pack. She must have left it in the rush.
"Feh, see if I ever do you anything again. I want an explanation for these youkai though. I thought you said there weren't any in your time." ,Inu-Yasha got in his stance, which told her that he was being stubborn.
"I will come in six days to explain to you, and the others. I just leaned a lot of stuff and now I want to go to bed. Besides its dark out now. I still have to pack for tomorrow. I have to find a babysitter for Shippo for the week. I also have to do my summer homework." ,Kagome stopped counting on her fingers. She had forgotten all about her homework in her rush to finish the shards.
Kurama could sense her inner turmoil. He quickly went over the list in his head and found the answer.
"Um.. I have an idea." ,Kurama suggested, "Well, first you pack. Hiei, since he doesn't go to school can baby-sit Shippo. I can help you with your homework for as long as it takes."
#Fox, what do you think your doing?#
'Getting time to know her, and collecting a debt.'
#Hn. Fine. I want no word about what happened though#
'Agreed'
Kagome smiled big, hugged Kurama who blushed at the contact. She turned to everyone else,
"That would be perfect! Thank you Hiei-"
"Hn. I didn't-"
She didn't even hear him. While she was talking she pushed the rest out the door,
"For baby-sitting Shippo. Yusuke I will talk to you tomorrow. Um…Kiko was it? I will also discuss about your behavior tomorrow too. And Kuwabara… oh well I guess he is gone. Bye everyone, see you tomorrow at school." ,With that she shoved them out the door.
Kagome peered through the window to watch them leave. When the left her sight she turned and slumped to the ground. She was so tired. The wheels in her head never stopped turning the whole day and now that everyone left she was ready to rest.
Kurama was amused, Kagome had a very eventful and emotional day. She was exhausted, but she didn't show it around others. She seemed to have already forgot he was there. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to struggle to open them again. He chuckled, and walked towards her. He leaned down to pick her up, when he did she tensed.
"It's just me, Kurama" ,She relaxed into his arms. She mumbled something tiredly,
"Sorry, I was trying to get everyone out so fast I forgot I asked you to stay."
"It's fine. I invited myself anyways. Here let me take you to bed. I'll stay over tonight to watch the house. You didn't realize that changing into a youkai from a human then back takes a lot of energy. Remember it is only your first day having these powers. Don't worry I will help teach you control your powers." ,By the time he was finished Kagome had fallen asleep.
@~*~~Yes, we will teach her many things@~*~~
'Don't you ever think of anything else?'
@~*~~Yes, but it's hard with her so soft in our arms@~*~~
'Well, get your mind out of the gutter and help me finish her summer work.'
@~*~~You can do it I am going to watch her dreams@~*~~
'Fine but DON'T enter them. You remember what happened last time'
@~*~~I'll be fine. I wont get caught. Even if I did, she doesn't know me and thinks it's a dream..@~*~~
'Did you hear me? Don't'
@~*~~Well, see ya@~*~~
Kurama let out a disgruntled snort. Youko never listened. He settled Kagome into her bed with the still sleeping Shippo. He kissed her forehead, and whispered what her learned in one day,
"My soul mate"
Kurama then got her summer work and sat in the chair by her desk. This was going to be a long night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Kagome's Dream~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome sat in a lavish forest clearing, with fragrant flowers. She rising sun catching her hair in an earth real light.
'This is the only place I get any peace. Funny its almost like what I saw in Kurama's eyes.' ,She laid on her back soaking in the morning rays.
Suddenly a white blur appeared in front of her.
