Chapter 8
Kurama left Koenma's office soon after their conversation. He took his time arriving back to the ningenkai while lost in thought from the story Koenma gave, Kagome, little sister to Koenma and a time traveler who was more powerful than they had originally imagined. The rest of the group wouldn't be pleased with the information and not to mention it makes apprehending the woman much more difficult. Breaking the news to Hiei won't be too difficult but Yusuke would be much more tricky.
Looking up at the sky he noticed it was getting late. He didn't want to worry his mother at all so he made his way through the streets of Tokyo to his home. He would tell everyone in the morning the new information he received. He could already sense the breaking of the news won't be a very pleasant experience.
*~*The next morning*~*
Kurama walked towards the shrine of Kagome Higurashi with great fluidity. He was now trying to decide how to break the news to his comrades about the woman assassinator. He was weary but it was well masked under multiple layers of calmness. Walking up the many steps towards the well house shrine he stopped at a tree he knew Hiei to be in. For a second Kurama debated with himself whether to tell the youkai now or wait until the others come.
"Has the woman come back yet, Hiei?" Kurama asked even though he knew for a fact that she hadn't.
"Hn. no" came the quiet response.
"I figured as much as that. When Yusuke arrives I have much to inform you of and neither of you will like what I have to tell." Kurama spoke not expecting a reply from the silent demon.
"You don't need to wait long, fox, the human is almost here." Hiei replied as he jumped down from the branch he was perched on.
Soon, the figure of a boy in a green school uniform came walking up the multiple steps grumbling about why shrines always have to have so many stairs. Kurama and Hiei waited for the boys approach when they heard the voice of Kuwabara yelling at Yusuke to wait up for him. When Kuwabara finally caught up with the rest of the group Yusuke was waiting with one hand in his pocket with the two other boys.
"Hello Yusuke, Kuwabara." The red head greeted the two humans.
"So has she come back yet?" Kuwabara asked with little hearts dancing in his eyes.
"No, not yet. I do have new information about this woman for you and I know you won't like it." Kurama spoke facing towards Yusuke and Hiei.
"So, well what is it?" the boy with slicked back hair asked.
"It appears that our assassin is Koenma's little sister and she travels through time to the feudal era. The well is a time portal which allows her and possibly others to time travel. Koenma has no idea how powerful she is but I'm guessing from the wards that are on the well she is extremely powerful."
"Whoa, wait a minute. How is she Koenma's sister when she's a human?"
"She became human basically the same way I became both Suuichi Minamino and Youko Kurama except in her case it wasn't death that made her flee to the human realm. A spell was cast upon her separating her soul from body. Her soul fled here and into the unborn child Kagome."
"So how are we supposed to capture her now?"
"We wait for her to return on her own. We cannot go after her through the well because of the wards on it but when she does come back we should try to talk to her and convince her to come with us to see Koenma. Fighting in this case won't get us very far."
"And what makes you think she'll come back here? For all we know she could have a home and provisions to last her a lifetime on the other side."
"She'll come back. She has responsibilities as a priestess that she cannot ignore and she also has her job as a newspaper reporter. They'll get curious if she doesn't come back soon."
"Isn't there some way Botan or someone can make a portal to the past so we can go get her there? Who knows how long she'll be there for?" Yusuke said as he started pulling out his communicator to call Botan. "Kurama, do you think it is possible to create a time portal like the well?" he asked as an after thought
"As far as I know Yusuke, there is no way to create a portal to the past. They occur when there is a disruption at the same time but in two separate time periods. It would have to be something extremely disastrous to cause a rift in the time continuum like this. What two disturbances that happened to create this one I know not but it would be wise not to try to tamper with it."
Yusuke grumbled and shoved the communicator back into his pocket. He wanted this case done and over with. He didn't want to wait around for a woman who might never come back. Plus, Koenma gave them three days, one of those days is gone and from the looks of it she won't return on day two either.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt a small pulse of power extend and retreat back from the well house. He knew he wasn't the only one who felt the power because Kurama and Hiei also brought their attention to the well. Without a second thought both demons and the humans made their way to the well. There was a quick surge of pure power emanating from the well and a shriek of a demons death. The well fell silent, not even the movement of the priestess could be heard inside.
The four stood outside the well for a second waiting for Kagome to show herself. When nothing could be heard moving inside Yusuke walked up to the door and slowly pushed it open. A cloud of dust came billowing out making Yusuke cough from inhaling it. Slowly the dust cleared enough to allow the detectives to see the body of Kagome lying on the floor. She was still breathing and her heartbeat was strong.
The detectives approached her with a little caution, unsure of the reaction she'll give when she becomes aware of her surroundings once more and senses the four beings nearby. Her appearance was very disturbing to say the least. She wore ancient priestess clothing that was freshly torn with blood splattered over it. Her hair was a mess; twigs and dust clung like static. Her skin wasn't the healthy color it was the day before. She had grown a sickly pale color.
"Is. is she d-dead?" Kuwabara asked not able to see the slight rise and fall of her chest at each breath she took.
"No, Kuwabara, she isn't. She just exhausted herself out. In the mean time, she needs to get cleaned up or else her wounds will get infected. Yusuke, will you please help me carry her out of here?"
Walking over to the woman Kurama picked up her torso while Yusuke lifted her legs. Slowly and carefully they made their way out of the well house and out into the fresh air. They set her down carefully on a nearby patch of grass as she let out a small whimper of pain. She looked even worse in the sunlight. Her disheveled hair and clothes looked more pronounced than they did in the well house.
'I wonder what could have happened to have her come back like this. What ever happened, the creature she fought was very determined to kill her.' Kurama thought looking down at the exhausted woman.
Kurama blinked in surprise as Kagome's eyes fluttered open. Pain and wonder passed through her eyes as she stared off into the nearby trees. Recognition passed through her eyes when she finally realized when and where she was. Next fear passed through her eyes, which left the fox spirit a little perplexed. He had no idea why the woman would be so afraid when she was safe and away from harm. He was brought out of his puzzlement when she let out a small yelp of pain after trying to sit up.
"You really shouldn't try to sit up right now. You have quite a few wounds that need to be cleaned first." A silky voice reached her ears. It almost reminded her of Sesshomaru's voice.
"Sessho?" Kagome spoke in a soft whisper as if she was remembering his name from a distant past.
"No, I am Kurama. My friends and I met you yesterday just before you disappeared on us."
"Oh."
"Might I ask what happened to you to get into such a state?"
"No, now please help me get to the well house, my friends need my help, detective." She said the four Spirit Detectives.
They had no idea on how she knew they were detectives. They found it rather nerve racking for not knowing. The spirit detectives looked at each other in worry. How did she know what they were? Did she know about the spirit world and demons too? What type of woman is she? Their thoughts, with the exception of Kuwabara, were all tense and scattered at the woman's looks, actions and verbal speech.
"Hai, we will help you, but in return you must do something for us." The red head spoke thinking of a way to get Kagome to Koenma. The two other detectives gave Kurama a questioning look but he just shrugged it off.
"Let me hear what your demands are before I agree to anything. I wouldn't want to put myself in the wrong position now, ne?" Kagome said being cautious of the boys.
"Very well. We will help you to the well but in return you must come with us to see our boss. You might think of it as a reunion of a sort." Kurama spoke silkily as flashes of understanding passed through the eyes of his friends.
"I agree, but you must allow me three days to prepare and then I will be back. Meet me here at sunset on the third day. Deal?" Kagome said putting out a hand to seal the deal.
"Then it is a deal. Now careful now, we don't want you to injure yourself further." The red head spoke as he shook the woman's hand.
"Don't worry about the wounds. They'll heal soon enough." She spoke as the three detectives helped her to the well. None of them noticed Kuwabara just standing there with drool sliding down his chin and staring at the spot in which Kagome previously lay.
The detectives watched as the raven-haired woman slid down the well and be engulfed in the glowing blue light. They felt the pulse of power they felt admitted before. They knew she had made it to the other side.
"Three days we will meet here but first we should speak with Koenma and let him know of the situation." As Kurama spoke Botan appeared on her oar.
"Hello!" the blue haired girl spoke. "How is the case going?"
"It's going well. Please, make a portal to Koenma, we have much to report." Kurama spoke.
"Oh, alright." She said as she created a portal to the spirit realm. "There you go!"
The three detectives jumped through the portal, disappearing from the ningenkai.

I have a challenge for you readers. I never see any crossovers of this so this is why I am challenging it. I challenge a Matrix/Inuyasha crossover. You may have whatever pairing you want, just no Kag/Neo pairings. That's too easy, plus, he's already got Trinity. You must be able to come to a solution about Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and the jewel shards. Remember, in this challenge the Shikon no Tama is considered part of the real world, not the matrix. The agents, well, they're just agents. It is up to you to decide whether or not the agents are after the jewel or/and Kagome. One last thing, The rest of the Inuyasha gang cannot be taken out of the matrix. Best of Luck.
Let me know if you have decided to take my challenge. You may contact me via AIM. My screenname is in my profile. Thank You,
