Sango-Where is she? Did you find her yet?

Yusuke-No

Keiko-She's got to be around here somewhere. *Opens closet to be pelted with various odd magical objects* AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Kagome-You okay?

Keiko-@_@

Kurama- Hey, DreamVixen left a note. *Everyone rushes to read note. *

Note- Hey Guys! Still can't find me? Well that's no surprise, considering that I AM IN COMPLETE AND UTTER CONTROL!!!! WAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

*Group sweat drop*

any who, if you guys can find me before this chappie's done, next chapter I'll tell everyone the pairings. Good luck, though. Don't forget, thanks to the power of the Internet I'm a shadow kitsune hiding in a mansion. Oh! And I'm still watching you, InuYasha, so don't try anything funny or you'll have to go the rest of the fic with Mr. Kitty on your forehead!

*Whole group besides InuYasha laughing and grinning. Inu's letting out a string of curses unfit for public ears. Where did he learn such language? *

Readers, remember I own only my own characters! Also, I want to apologize for any troubles with Sango and Hiei Clash. My Damn computer refuses to obey it's mistress. DIE, COMPUTER, DIIIIIEEE!!!!!!!!!!! *reader sweat drop*

And one more thing. I've invited a few more 'friends' over. Hope you guys don't mind. ^------^

Kagome-*looks at note worriedly* 'friends?'

Yusuke- Chill out. What's the worst she can do? *In walk Sessomaru, Miroku and Kikyou *cough-bitch-cough*

Group- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\...\ Youko\Kurama talk -...- beast talk *...* telepathy '...' thoughts

******************************* Kidnapped *******************************

I stared in shock as the youkai disappeared. WHAT THE HECK DID HE MEAN 'ASK MY GODMOTHER?!' Sango looked out towards his disappearing back distastefully.

"Creep," she muttered.

"It is hard to believe their related," Sango looked at me in confusion.

"Who?"

"Hiei and Yukina, of coarse." She stared at me for a second then shouted,

"What?!"

"Voice," I reminded her as several tanners turned to stare.

"Impossible. He's a fire apparition and she's ice. How can they be related?"

"He's half fire, half ice. Couldn't you tell?"

"Nope. Wow. What about the rest of them?"

"Yusuke and Kuwabara are both humans with A LOT of sprit energy, Botan's a living spirit. You know, like that creepy little guy we met that only I could see?" Sango nodded, and I winced at the memory. Bastard spied on us in the hot springs. "the red head, Kurama, has me stumped. It feels like he's human, but it also feels like he's a kitsune."

"Hanyou?"

"No. It feels more like two separate souls, merged into one body," I stared at the pool as I gave Sango time to process what I said. What was he?

"Sounds like you're giving this a lot of thought," Sango said slyly. I blushed. Truth was, I had been, but not for the reasons Sango was hinting at! Not entirely, anyways.

"I find it very interesting. That's all. I've never seen anything like it before."

"Of coarse, Kagome,"

"Shut up,"

"So Keiko's the only normal one?"

"Only to the untrained eye," Sango glared at me in annoyance.

"In case you forgot, my eye HAS been trained and she appears normal to me. Out with it." I grinned. Now I could get her back for those comments about Kurama.

"She's a miko."

............

"WHAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!"

"Voice."

"She's a- but how- why's a-"

"She hasn't been trained at all," I admitted to my flabbergasted friend, "And her powers haven't even awakened yet, but she's most definitely a miko. Pretty powerful, too."

"So she probably doesn't even know she's a miko."

"Nope,"

"Are you going to tell her?"

"Why? Her powers won't be of any use until they awaken, and she probably won't believe me anyway," plus, I didn't want to be responsible for someone having to go through the same things I did. Sango seemed to accept my excuse and leaned back into her chair, watching our new friends swim.

"Well, of all the places!" startled I looked up to see the odd guy we met in the mall yesterday, grinning down at me. Standing next to him was...

"HOJO!" I gasped, sitting strait up. Oh, MAN.

"It's nice to see you are well, Higurashi."

"So, you know my cousin, do you?" the guy said, grinning.

"Uh, yeah," I said. He's just this guy who goes to school with me that bores me out of my mind and can't get it through his thick skull that I am not interested in him!!!!!! "I know him,"

"Well, in that case, perhaps we should hang out together, at least for the rest of the day" the whole day... with Hojo. NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN!!!

"Sorry, I'm here with some girlfriends and we were just gonna spend the day together." I motioned to the girls in the pool as I said this. As luck would have it, Botan turned and saw us talking at that exact moment. She looked at the boys, then at Sango, and me and gave a very cat-like grin. Oooh...if she even suggested we were flirting...

"Well, we should probably get going, if we want to get to the mall." I said quickly, jumping up and calling to the girls.

"Soooo..." Botan started when we were in the locker rooms, "who were those cute boys you two were talking to.

"They weren't that cute," Sango argued, "And Kagome was doing all the talking."

"Some friend you are," I muttered. "They were no one,"

"They had to be someone." Keiko said smirking.

"One was just a guy from school and the other was his cousin, who we met in the mall the other day."

"'Guy from school.'" Botan said, her grin widening. I threw a towel at her.

"Get your mind out of the gutter," the girls laughed and we headed out the door-

-straight into a drawn katana. We stopped short and stared at the sword. Oh, shoot.

(AN- maybe I should just end it here... *readers attack her, murder on their minds.* AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH DON'T KILL ME!!!!!!!!!! THEN THE STORY WON'T HAVE AN END!!!!! *Readers pause for a second to consider this, then continue attack.* ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!!!!!!! I'LL KEEP GOING!!!!!!!)

"Now then," the demon holding the sword said conversationally, "Just come with us, and we won't hurt you friends." I stared at him. He was a handsome youkai. As a matter of fact, if you took away his tail, ears, made his eyes dark blue instead of black and gave him normal human clothes, he'd look just like...

"You're Hojo's cousin!!!!" he smirked

"Brother, actually. Sorry to hear that you can't even remember that, princess," then his face got serious again. "Now what's it gonna be?" PRINCESS?!?! WHAT THE HELL WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?!

Sango obviously didn't want to wait and find out. She lunged at the guy, knocking the katana out of his hand and tackling him to the ground. I quickly tore the Shikon shards on my neck off and threw them in my purse. At least they might be safer there than in the open. The kitsune looked startled by Sango's attack at first, but quickly knocked her aside, picked up his blade again and held it against Sango's throat. He laughed. I dropped my purse and started towards him, mentally going throught the miko spells I could use in this situation.

"So the little ningen from the past wants a fight, does she?" he said coyly. I froze, as did Sango. "Didn't know I knew?" he turned to smirk at me, still keeping the blade on Sango. "Now, it's you choice, my dear. Let your friends die, or come with us?" I gave a quick glance to Sango, who was staring at something behind me. I turned to see Yukina, Botan and Keiko being held by other black haired kitsunes.

"I'll go," I said softly, "Just don't hurt them, you creep!" For a split second, I thought I saw pain in his eyes. But it was quickly replaced with the trademark demon smirk.

"Predictable as always, I see." I barely had the time to think 'huh?' when my world was suddenly plunged into darkness.

************************************************************************

The large kitsune caught the limp girl before she hit the ground.

*Ganko, let's go. Hojo is with the prince, waiting for us.*

*Yes, Brother. Just give me time to finish something here.* Reikoku nodded, and left to join their youngest brother. Ganko turned to the ningen whose neck he held.

"If you truly care about your friend," he said, loud enough for all of them to hear, "You won't attempt to follow us. This is for her own good, and the good of her brother." He paused for a moment, then added, "tell Yume and Mayonaka not to even try to show their faces at the castle. We have a special spell set up just for the two of them, and it won't be pleasant on their part. And Even if they do by some kind of miracle avoid the spells, my brothers, General Reikoku and Little Hojo, not to mention myself, will be waiting for them. Tell 'em it's from Ganko," With that, the kitsune let the girl's neck go and stepped back, sheathing his katana. The girl lunged for him, but he disappeared without a trace. The girls sat in silence for a moment, before Botan walked over to Kagome's fallen purse, opened it up and took out her car keys.

"Care for a road trip?" she said softly.

************************************************************************

InuYasha- Find her? *leaps out of way of Sessomaru's attack*

Sessomaru- hand over the Tetsuaiga or die, half-breed

Keiko-Nope

Miroku-*to Keiko* Will you bear my child. *Hentai Houshi meets Yusuke's fist*

Botan-She's GOT to be around here somewhere.

Yusuke-WELL WERE THE HELL IS THE BITCH?!?!

Shippo- *points to Kikyou* (grrr... shouldn't even capitalize her name.)

Kagome-*smirking* Not that bitch

Kikyou-*Glares at everyone*

Hiei-*to Kurama* where is she?

Kurama- how should I know?

Hiei- you're a kitsune. So's she. Were would you hide.

Kurama-If I were her, I'd make a secret passage hidden somewhere so strange, no one would look.

Kagome- what are the odds of that? *Kuwabara comes running in*

Kuwabara- Oh, man, guys, your not gonna believe what I found!

Yusuke- What?

Kuwabara- A hidden passage in the upstairs bathroom behind the toilet!

Everyone- 0.o; *run to bathroom to see baka was right.*

Kagome- So, who's going in? *everyone points to one another* oh, brother *goes down passage in disgust. Sounds of a scuffle are heard. Five minuets later, Kagome comes back dragging sulking DreamVixen.*

DV- no fair!

Hiei-Niether's life

Botan- well, come back next chapter for the pairings.

Kagome- and don't forget to review.
