Keiko- and DreamVixen still doesn't own InuYasha or YuYu Hakusho *DV's laugher becomes passionate sobs*
\\...\\ Youko\Kurama talk -...- beast talk *...* telepathy '...' thoughts
**************************** Getting Suspicious****************************
I watched as the girls left, keeping my Jagan on the annoying, loud mouth ningen. I wanted to see if her thoughts would turn to the things I'd been questioning her about, but so far all she had were thoughts of murder. I smirked. Just let her try any one of those tricks, then well see what happens to her.
"What question were you talking about, Hiei?" the kitsune asked, watching me intently. So, he caught that, did he?
\\Yes, a ningen that loud can't know anything of interest,\\
"I asked her how she knew I was a youkai," I answered. That stopped the ningens laugher.
\\...Never mind\\
"WHAT?!" Yusuke shouted getting to his feet.
"Keep you're voice down, Yusuke. Or we'll attract attention," Kurama said calmly. The spirit detective ignored him.
"What do you mean 'how did she know you were a youkai?' She couldn't have known you were a youkai unless she knew youkai exist. She doesn't know that!" the ningen paused for a second, then added, uncertainly, "Does she?"
\\he's a genius, isn't he?\\
I watched the car speed off through narrowed eyes. She knew. I knew that much. I just needed to find out how she knew. With that, I sped off after the car that held the mysterious girl.
I growled when the girls finally left the building they had gone into to change into their swimwear. The growl was cut short when I saw the object of my annoyance.
The ningen girl was wearing a two-piece bathing suit. It consisted of a black tie on top with red strings and shorts (AN: I know that's not something Sango would usually wear, but bear with me folks). Who knew she had such a great figure? When I realized where my treacherous thoughts (And even more treacherous eyes) were, I gave my head a quick jerk.
The girls separated, the rei guide, the spirit detective's girlfriend and my sister went into the pool, the psychic's god daughter and the annoying ningen stayed by the poolside in white lawn chairs. I grinned, an idea coming to mind as I saw the ningen lay on her stomach.
*How does a weak ningen like you know of youkai?* I hissed into her mind. I smirked, pleased when she suddenly stiffened. I could sense the fear suddenly rolling off her. I frowned when it quickly turned to anger.
*I'm stronger than I look, fire apparition* she snapped at me, *don't forget that next time you challenge me.*
*Is that a threat you can ensure, ningen?* I glared at her, hoping she could feel my gaze on her back.
*Yes*
*Prove it* I hissed back.
*When and where, youkai*
*You know, as fascinating as this conversation is,* a new voice intruded, startling me and making the ningen girl visibly jump, *I'm afraid fighting is out of the question. You both visitors to my home, and we have enough to deal with as is without having to pay hospital bills because to two insisted and killing each other over a few choice words.* the girl and I stared at Genkai's god daughter for a full minuet before we regained the ability to 'speak.' The ningen girl got to her first.
*YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!*
*Well, duh. You two think too loud* That's not something every human says.
*We'll be sure to keep it down next time.* the ningen said sarcastically.
*Could you?* I heard amusement in the girl's voice. Now I was starting to get angry.
*How the hell can you communicate telepathically?! Your godmother said you knew nothing about demons or the Makai!*
*What's the Makai?* I glared.
*Don't play innocent with me, ningen. I want to know the truth now*
*I'm not. What's the Makai?* I stared at the strange girl who was now watching my exact location curiously. Never mind the fact that I was hiding my spirit energy.
*You honestly don't know, do you?* now the girl looked slightly annoyed.
*Well, no. Should I? What is it?*
*Ask you godmother* with that, I rushed back to the shrine. How could a human girl join a mental conversation, what's more after unintentionally hearing the start of it? How could they not only know of the existence of youkai, but also have the ability to tell youkai apart by sight, when they know nothing about the Makai? The more I knew about these two girls, the more they made me wonder. I had to get information out of those girls. But how?
When I got back to the shrine, I found a welcoming committee there to greet me.
"Yo, Hiei, where the hell where you?! You've been gone for nearly an hour!!!"
"Watching those girls. There's something different about them."
\\Great. Now how about something we don't already know\\
"How do you mean?" the kitsune asked calmly.
"That girl who knew I was a youkai also knew I was a fire apparition." I said, dully, "And she can communicate telepathically." The others looked startled.
"Okay, so she's defiantly not normal," the spirit detective said thoughtfully.
"Perhaps," the kitsune calmly interjected, "You said 'they' weren't normal. I presume you mean that Genkai's god daughter has done something to make suspicion land on her as well."
"Only accidentally over hear a mental conversation, then join it and pinpoint my location when my spirit energy was hidden." The group stared at me. Even Youko seemed taken aback by my response.
"How the hell can you 'accidentally over hear a mental conversation!'" the spirit detective exclaimed.
\\Yeah, I've never heard of anything that allows you to do that...\\
"Apparently, we were thinking too loud," I growled, remembering her puzzling response to my question. "Also, she knows of the existence of demons, only not the Makai."
"WHAT?!? HOW THE HELL IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!?!"
"How's what possible?" I turned to see the old ningen standing there, a puzzled look on his face. My three companions fell silent, by I didn't care. I needed to know these things now.
"We want to know how it's possible for your god daughter to be able to interrupt a mental conversation, know the location of a youkai hiding it's energy, and know youkai exist without knowing where it is they do exist." I stated simply. The baka gave me a look of horror, the spirit detective groaned and the kitsune watched the old man carefully. The old man, on the other hand, looked bemused.
"Can hear other people's telepathy, huh? Didn't know she could do that." I growled impatiently. Why the hell did ningens have to be so damn difficult to work with? He shook his head, "To answer your first two questions, she's a miko." The kitsune stiffened at this, and his youkai counterpart let out a string of fascinating curses. The old man saw his human side's sudden shock and started to laugh, "Don't worry, she only purifies her enemies. Your last question, however, is hers to answer. I don't suppose Genkai told you any of her story... my guess is Kagome didn't tell her anything so she wouldn't have cause to worry. Dratted girl! Her heart is gonna get her killed one of these days..." with that, the old man left, muttering under his breath.
"Oookay," the spirit detective said, watching the old man leave, "Erm, insanity isn't a side effect of all this demon stuff, is it?"
"What do you care, Urameshi. You're already insane!" this probably would have lead to a fight between the two ningens, if I hadn't had the presence of mind to question the kitsune.
"What the hell is a miko?" I demanded. The red head sighed.
"A human female, with the ability to purify."
"Purify?"
"She can heal, or harm, those around her with a magical essence more powerful than spirit energy." Now the kisune looked thoughtful, "Strange, though. I thought the bloodline had been wiped out before the barriers had been risen."
"Back up. More powerful than spirit energy?! You mean this girl has more power than me?"
\\He might actually be starting to wise up\\
"It depends on her power as a miko. I believe a miko with the semi- normal amount of power should be able to overpower you easily. However, If this girl can really do as Hiei says, than that means she's probably more powerful than that."
"THEN WHY THE HELL DOESN'T KOENMA SEND HER TO FIGHT YOUKAI?!?!"
"Fool," I sneered, "he probably doesn't know this girl exists." Then we heard the screeching of tires and around the corner barreled the miko's car. It did some strange sort of spin thing and stopped on the street in front of us. Out of the drivers side door jumped the rei guide. The annoying ningen girl can out the passenger side and Yukina and the spirit detectives girlfriend clamored out the back. However, I didn't see...
"KAGOME!" the ningen girl shouted, "She's been kidnapped by demons!"
************************************************************************
The Kitsune growled towards the portrait in his private quarters. It showed a beautiful vixen with a small child in her arms and a young pup at her side. The vixen's eyes shone with kindness and slight pain, the baby's with curiosity and the young girl's with mischief. Painted only a week before they had vanished without a trace, this was the last remaining picture of what used to be his family. The others had been destroyed after it was made clear that the Queen's flight was intentional.
"You have been winning for this long, Yume," he said softly, "but now I've found them again. You will not keep what is mine by right away from me."
