Kagome- Speaking of which, what happened to him? Shippo is fast asleep on the couch, but I can't find InuYasha
DV- Oops. Guess I sort of forgot all about him *looks at chair IY had been chained to find it empty. * Hey, where'd he...
IY- HAH!!! GOTCHA!!! *DV turns to see InuYasha with the keyboard*
DV- AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! *Runs for life with vengeance-mad Inu on her heels*
Kagome- Well, we've got to go stop InuYasha from killing the authoress
Botan- Till then, remember DreamVixen owns nothing but the shirt on her back (and her original characters) and enjoy this chapter!

************************* The YuYu Gang Appears**************************
"Remind me again why we have to be here at SIX IN THE MORNING ON A SATURDAY?" Yusuke said, scowling at the steps in front of him.
"Because, Dimwit, I need to discuss something with a friend of mine and leaving you alone at my house is just asking for trouble," the old lady beside him said before starting up the steps.
"Come on, Yusuke," Kieko said as she started to follow, "Standing around griping won't do you any good," with that, she, too went up the steps, with Botan and Yukina close behind.
"It makes me feel better," grumbled the still tired Spirit Detective. I chuckled to myself. This boy had been brought back to life, survived against some of the most dangerous demons in this day and age and he complained about waking up early on a weekend? How did he become our leader again?
"Wait for me, Yukina!" Kuwabara said, bounding up the steps after the koorime. I cast Hiei and amused glance, and he pointedly ignored me.
"Well, might as well get this over with." Yusuke sighed.
\\Must all your friends be this optimistic?\\ Yusuke wasn't the only one complaining.
\\Since when were you a ray of sunshine?\\ Shuuichi snapped back.
\\Since it meant getting a closer look at the final resting place of the Shikon no Tama.\\ Youko answered. I sighed. Youko was very interested in the powerful and mysterious artifact. He knew only bits and pieces of the legend, which was dying by the time he became a thief. All he knew was that the jewel had been protected by a miko and had the ability to enhance spirit energy by hundred folds, and grant a person's wish. Everything else had been lost in time.
\\But we'll find out more, now\\ Youko promised.
\\What makes you so sure these humans know any more about it than you did?\\
\\They're the shrine guardians. The Miko must have left some kind of indication as to what happened to the jewel after she died\\
\\She was the jewel's protector. She wouldn't have dared leave something to indicate the jewel's location in case a demon like you found it.\\
*As fun as standing around talking to yourself must be,* Hiei butted into our conversation, *I want to leave the second I can, so hurry up, kitsune* I sighed and started up the steps after Yusuke and the fire- demon.
"Now, remember," Genkai was saying urgently, "Yume and Mayonaka know about the Makai and demons and such, but Yume's children, Souta and Kagome, don't, so anyone who does of says anything that makes either one suspicious will answer to me, got it?"
"Yes, Genkai-sama"
"Got it!"
"Whatever"
"Hn."
\\Those names sound familiar,\\ Youko said sharply
\\Perhaps Genkai has mentioned them before?\\ I suggested
\\No. I heard them a long time ago, I just can't remember where\\ with that, Youko became lost in his thoughts, trying to bring up the source of the name.
When we got to the top of the steps, there was nothing unordinary I could see. The main shrine was the largest building, where it seemed the family lived, a storage house wasn't too far from the shrine an old, worn down shed-like building. Other than the large tree that was flowing with spirit energy, it seemed like a pretty average shrine. Well-kept, but not impressive. Genkai lead us to the front door, which she opened without knocking. She must be very good friend with these people...The rest of us followed after a slight hesitation.
"Genkai!" I stared at the woman who greeted the old psychic in such a calm, cheerful manner, "I wasn't expecting you until later. Oh, dear the girls are still asleep, and the house is a mess!" I glanced around after she said this. It was true, the house looked lived in, but I wouldn't call it messy. A little red-haired boy in pajamas stared at us with open curiosity.
"It looks fine, Yume," Genkai said as she smiled at the woman. Youko was working double time to remember where he'd heard this woman's name, "Who's this?"
"Oh, that's Shippo. He's a friend of Kagome and Souta. He and another one of Kagome's friends, Sango, will be staying here the next two weeks, too,"
"Nice to meet you, Miss'" he said shyly to Genkai who smiled and nodded back.
"Where's Souta?"
"Well, like I said, the girls are still asleep, and when I realized you were coming early, Souta volunteered to wake Kagome up."
"And you let him?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Yume, for a mother, you know absolutely nothing about children," Yume looked like she was going to ask what Genkai had meant by that when a loud 'Splash' was heard from somewhere upstairs immediately followed by a louder scream.
"Rise and shine, sis!" I distantly heard a little boy say.
"AAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!! SOUTA YOU LITTLE- OOOHHH, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU-" then, after what sounded like a herd of elephants coming down the stairs, a young boy shot past us saying,
"ByemomI'llseeyoulater!"
"That's what I meant," Genkai said in amusement as Yusuke and Kuwabara leaned against the wall to keep from falling over from laughter. Boton, Keiko and Yukina were giggling loudly and even Hiei smirked.
Of coarse, everyone's attention was diverted when a stunning girl in soaked pajamas came down the stairs. Even Youko decided the importance of her mother's name could wait as he admired her long, shapely legs.
"WERE IS HE?!?" I have to admit, the boy was brave. This girl looked ready for blood.
"Calm down, Kagome we have company. And he's already taken off." The girl, Kagome, stared at us, finally noticing we were there. Her face went scarlet. Just then, another girl came down stairs. She, too, was pretty, yet not quite as good looking as Kagome. When she saw her unfortunate friend's situation, she winced and sighed.
"Come on, Kagome, let's get you cleaned up. Then you can give your brother whatever horrible death you want." The two girls left for the upstairs. Yume sadly shook her head.
"I'm very sorry you had to meet my children like that." She said to us, "Normally they don't act like that...well, Kagome acts like that when she gets upset, but Souta's never pulled such a stupid stunt before. I can't imagine where he got that idea..." I'm probably the only one who noticed the little boy Shippo suddenly working very hard to keep the attention off of himself. "Anyways, you four boys- oh, dear! We haven't been properly introduced-"
"That dimwit right there is my student, Yusuke Urameshi. That girl next to him is Keiko Yukimara, his girlfriend, and the blue haired girl in the kimono behind her is Yukina, the one who's staying at my temple. The rest are Yusuke's friends, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei and Botan. This is Yume Higurashi, a friend of mine. The little boy who just fled for his life was her son, Souta and the homicidal teen girl you just saw is his older sister, Kagome. If you see any senile old men running around, he would be Mayonaka Higurashi,"
"Hah! Shows how much you know," we turned to see an old man with some sort of strange hat on his head. "You, Genkai, are the only senile one around here,"
"Strange, considering I still have the energy to train students a quarter of my age, yet you can't even keep up with Kagome's fat old cat!"
"I CAN SO KEEP UP WITH BUYO! WHAT'S MORE I CAN KEEP UP WITH HIM AFTER SHOWING YOU JUST HOW MUCH MORE ENERGY I HAVE THAN YOU!" Which lead to both elderly humans to pursue their challenge outside. Ms Higurashi sighed.
"You'll have to get used to that, I'm afraid. Father and Genkai used to fight on the same team. He even competed along side her in the Dark Tournament. Yet they're both are very... competitive. Especially with one another." This prompted a grin from Yusuke.
"I've got to see this!" he exclaimed, rushing out the exit his teacher had just taken, closely followed by a chuckling Kuwabara, all earlier complaints apparently forgotten.
"Anyways, you boys put your things in Souta's room and the girls will put theirs in Kagome's. Shippo, will you show them were to go?"
"Yes, Ms Higurashi," the little boy said politely as he got off the couch. I shook my head as my companions and I followed him. Even if I didn't find out anything about the Shikon no Tama, this place seemed interesting enough to make up for it.

"Your Majesty!" The tall, handsome kitsune glared at the female servant who dared to interrupt his work.
"Yes?" he said, shifting through some papers.
"The prince and princess have been found!" the kitsune froze then jumped to his feet.
"Were are they? Is their treacherous mother still with them?"
"They're living at a shrine in the Ningenkai with Mayonaka and yes. She has disguised them all as humans and erased the princess' memories."
"Bring them back here, IMMEDIATELY. I don't care how it's done, just get them here NOW!"
"...Yes, Sir!"
