snowecat (DV; Okay, thanks for telling me. I'll try to keep an eye out of those things more. And yes, English IS my first language glares at QFF, who's snickering in the background I just never really thought about the spelling of 'of course.' And as for Kagome's personality being more like an inu than a kitsune... I guess that's a matter of opinion. It's very debatable, and anyways, there ARE stories that turn Kagome into inu and ookami, too. The ANs where more of a joke thing to tease my cousin last chapter, and I don't really use them that often. QFF; smirking this is probably the first review you got that wasn't ranting about how great you are. DV; Shut up, Queenie, or I'll make good of my promise to stuff you and Miroku in a closet.)

Keiko- looking at DV suspiciously. Why are you so... bubbly?
DV- Who? Me?
Kagome- Yeah, your acting insanely cheerful right now.
DV- Do you forget who your talking to?
Kagome- ... Never mind.
DV- Anywho, Here's chapter NINETEEN!!!! (I can't believe I got this far!!!) And I still don't own any InuYasha or Yu Yu Hakusho characters. But I do own my Original ones, and like I said before NO STEALING!!! That goes double for Ganko, who has (Oddly enough) become insanely popular. shakes head I seriously didn't think he'd be this well received...
Sango- DreamVixen?
DV- Yallow!
Sango- 0.o;;; Umm... right... where's Queenoffanfiction13?
DV- cocks head and blinks innocently Who? Into The Shadows
I woke in the morning, stretching and blinking around me. The other girls were starting to get up, but all the boys besides Hiei were still fast asleep and snoring... loudly.
Okay, that's not entirely fair. So let's see... Kuwabara, Yusuke, InuYasha, Ganko and Miroku were snoring. Kurama wasn't.
Normally, I would've found InuYasha and Miroku's snoring odd, but several empty jugs of sake explained that better than any words would ever be able to. I shook my head.
"And to think, Miroku's a MONK!!!" Yari grinned.
"Never fear. I'll make a slightly honest man out of him!!!" Kagome smirked at her.
"'...slightly honest?'"
"I'm a warrior, not a miracle worker." We laughed quietly, afraid to wake Kaede. Then again, if she could sleep through this...
"Let's say we give the boys a wake up call, shall we?" Yari said with a kitsune-like grin on her face. I cast Kagome an uncertain look as Yari went outside, dragging Botan and Yakuso with her. A few seconds later, there were back, with five buckets filled to the brim with water. Smirking, I took Yakusko's bucket, Keiko took one of Botan's and Kagome took one of Yari's and we positioned ourselves in front of one of the snoring boys.
"Three," Yari said quietly.
"Two," Keiko added.
"ONE!!!" Kagome yelled, Stirring Kurama awake in time to see his companions soaked to the bone.
"Gnya!!!!" Kuwabara yelled in front of me. Yusuke started swearing and yelling something about 'Grandma' while Keiko cracked up, Botan giggled as InuYasha did the same, minus the 'Grandma' stuff. Kagome smirked at Ganko who, in turn, glared at her. Yari just blinked innocently at Miroku as he gaped at her.
"What the hell is wrong with you girls!!!" Ganko yelled.
"Serves you boys right for drinking!" Keiko shot back, disapproving heavy in her voice.
"Feh!" InuYasha said, glaring at Botan.
"You, ladies, are in desperate need of boyfriends," Ganko said, all attention was immediately focused on him.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled. The rest of the girls just glared at Ganko.
"You heard me." Yari got 'the smile' again.
"Ya know, Ganko, I know ALL your embarrassing childhood moments. I COULD just let a few of those... slip," Ganko snorted.
"You wouldn't," Yari's grin widened...
"-and then Kagome got him back by booby trapping his katana so that when he picked it up, it pulled a string and covered Ganko in cheap goopy green paint!!!" We cracked up at Ganko from where he was tied to a tree, giving Yari evil looks now and then and muttering something through the gag that prevented him from interrupting. The boys insisted that if we were going to trash Ganko's pride, we do it outside while they try to recover from their hangovers. "It took him two months to get it out of his hair!!!" Yakuso nodded.
"And Ganko got her back by covering her favorite fighting kimono in itching power..." she said, smiling and shaking her head before she and Yari got into this switching back and forward thing.
"...So Kagome got revenge by putting youkai ants in his bed..."
"...And he got her back by dumping hot sauce into her food during an important dinner ceremony..."
"...Then she set a trap for him so he got covered in all sorts of meats and chased by the palace dogs..."
"...So Ganko-!"
"THEY GET THE PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome yelled at the shadow vixens. She undid Ganko's gag as we laughed again.
"The feud started not long after Ganko and I moved in and kept going to the day the princess left. I don't think anyone even remembers why it started!"
"Ganko said he was stronger than me and I beat him up in public," Kagome supplied.
"And I didn't want her to get away with embarrassing me so..." Ganko gave a shrug.
"I ended up winning, too," Ganko's head shot up.
"You did not!!!"
"I pulled the last one,"
"You left before I could get you back!!!" Ganko argued. Kagome smirked.
"Like you really could've outdone it..."
"You got to admit, she has a point," Yari said, looking at her claws, no longer interested in the bickering kitsunes.
"Yeah, well I was the last one to pull a prank in the castle," Ganko swelled in a self satisfied way.
"Really? What?" Yakuso asked.
"Yeah, I don't remember you doing anything after Kagome left." Yari said, interested again.
"Just before I joined you guys."
"Then Hogosha was right," Ganko glared at Kagome.
"Shut up. I actually just copied one of the princess's old pranks,"
'BANG!!!'
"OW!!!!!" We sweat dropped as Ganko rubbed his head. Where in the world did that black bow come from?!
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?!?!"
"1,842,057," Everyone stared at him. "I kept tally over the years."
"Riiiight... What prank did you use?" I just HAD to know!
"The one Kagome pulled on me the day she found Yari," Yari's eyes lit up.
"The Super-Stinky-Long-Lasting-Tears-To-Your-Eyes-Stink- Bomb?!?!?!?!?!?!" she exclaimed as Yakuso grinned and Kagome's head shot up.
"Yep. The princess left the ingredients in her room when she left, and I sort of... improved on it over the years," Kagome shook her head.
"You really are a freak," She declared.
"Yep," I said, grinning.
"The freakiest," Yari agreed.
"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!" Our resident royal miko youkai abruptly crashed through a nearby tree, Shippo, Rin and Souta all sitting around her. Kohaku came up to me, grinning.
"Souta's been telling us all about the future," My brother said as he stopped by my side. I grinned.
"Like what you heard?"
"Yeah. It sounded really interesting." At the way Kohaku's eyes lit up, I could tell he was more than a little interested.
"Well, then, you'll be happy to hear we are quite possibly going to live there." Kohaku's head shot up.
"Really?! Does Kagome-sama approve," My grin widened. Despite her best efforts, Kagome couldn't get Kohaku to call her anything but Kagome- sama. Father had always lectured us about respect towards mikos and whatnot. Of course, she did manage to get it shortened down from Kagome- hime-sama, which I guess is an improvement in her mind. (AN; If you don't know, hime means princess. -)
"Kagome!" the miko turned to face me, "You don't mind if Kohaku and I stay with you in your time when you go back, do you?" Kagome grinned at us.
"What makes you think I wasn't planning on dragging you there?" I smiled at Kohaku, who looked surprised before grinning back.
"Sis?" Souta said, sitting on a nearby boulder. "Where did that bow come from?" We looked at the jet-black bow in Kagome's hand once again and then to the miko herself she smiled and turned to Souta to give her reply.
"I have absolutely no idea,"
'BAM!!!'
Everyone either sweat dropped or fell over. Souta gave a weak laugh as Kagome examined the bow before slinging it across her back.
"You don't mind if we go play in our special clearing in the forest, do you momma?" Shippo asked Kagome, who smiled at him.
"Sure. Just ask Sessho-maru if you can take Jaken with you okay?"
"Kay!!!" Rin said, with a grin, grabbing Kohaku to drag him away, the other boys following them. I shook my head. I almost felt sorry for my little brother.
Key word there; ALMOST.
"Come on," Botan said happily, "Let's go for a swim in the lake. It's such a nice day out!!!" Everyone quickly agreed and we left, Kagome and I going back into the hut to grab the bathing suits she'd brought from her time and tell the boys where we were going. Good thing we had extra suits. I turned to the boys just before closing the flap.
"Peek while we're changing and I'll alter your sex," I let the flap fall, but not before seeing the wince on all their faces.
That goes double for you three!!! I added mentally.
Damn!!! She's evil, Youko grumbled in Kurama's mind. Kagome shook her head.
Hn. It's not like anyone WANTS to see YOU naked anyways, Hiei shot back. I glared at nothing in particular. How could he go from alluring to an ass in record time?
See if I ever let you kiss me again. I said privately.
Who says I want to?
Jerk. I mumbled.
Bitch.
Ass.
Wench.
Didn't we have this conversation before?
Yes, and I ended up winning.
Did not. I called you an arrogant youkai and walked away. You were left pouting.
I started strangling you.
But you didn't.
Only because of the miko's comment.
Can't you lovebirds hold these conversations in private? Kagome irritably interrupted. I almost fell over.
"How did you do that?!?!?!" Everyone stared at me like I'd grown a third head.
"What?" Kagome asked, bewildered. "You know I can hear telepathy,"
"Not when it's conducted in private!!!" Kagome's eyes widened.
"You mean-!"
Your bond is still getting stronger, Hiei informed us. Soon, you will have no secrects from each other. Kagome and I blinked.
"Creepy thought." I muttered.
"Yeah..."
"Umm... What are you two talking about?" Keiko asked. Kagome smiled at her.
"Nothing. Come on, let's go ahead." We started to the lake again, And I started a new mental rant.
What the hell do you mean we'll have no secrets from each other?!?!
It's part of the bond you share. You should think things through more thoroughly before jumping into them, neko. I glared at a nearby tree, looking away quickly when I noticed it was starting to smoke and show signs of setting on fire.
You make it sound like I had a choice. Even now that I know this, given the choices between Sessho-maru, Souta and Kagome I'd still choose Kagome.
I'm flattered you trust me!!! I gave the miko youkai a hard glare. What? Don't give me that look. I have to share my secrets with you, too and I didn't even get the choice you did in the matter. I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. That was true...
Suddenly, Yari stopped walking.
"Do you hear that?!" She said, reaching for her katana and looking into the forest surrounding us.
"Hear what?" We ignored Keiko, listening into the forest. I relaxed slightly after a while, not feeling anything odd, and turned to yell at Yari for the prank, when a new power hit me and Kagome. Apparently, it was some kind of hyped up sensing thing, because next thing I knew, I felt youkai all around us.
Not just any youkai either.
Kitsunes.
SHADOW KITSUNES!!!
"Kagome, Botan, Keiko, stay behind us!!!" I yelled. Botan and Keiko complied, dragging a reluctant Kagome with them.
It wasn't that I didn't trust Kagome's skills, it was just that we couldn't take the risk of her getting kidnapped again or seriously hurt if it could be prevented. Kami-sama knows the war that would result from that...
"No use hiding her, neko tajiya, we're not leaving without our royalty, meaning the prince and princess." I frowned at the familiar voice as Yari and Yakuso stiffened and Kagome gasped.
"Hojo?!?!?!" The dull boy from earlier appeared in front of us.
"Naturally, Princess Kagome."
"What the hell do you want you whiny little freaky," Yari growled.
"Yes, Do tell little brother," All but the kitsunes gaped at Yakuso.
"How many brothers do you have?" Botan asked faintly. The vixens ignored her.
"I'm here to restore the royal family to their rightful place, which means retrieving the princess and heir."
"And if we don't want to go?" Kagome demanded coolly Hojo smiled at her.
"You don't have a choice, Higurashi-san. It's the King's orders." Drawing my katana, I reached for the other telepaths with my mind link.
Hiei, Kurama, Ganko?
We know, Hiei said harshly, They're here, too, trying to get the kits,
Souta's okay, isn't he? Kagome asked worriedly.
I have him here. Kurama said calmly. Kagome visibly relaxed.
Good. Tell him and Shippo to take refuge with illusions.
What about you? Kurama asked, his tone tense.
I'll be fine. Just take care of Souta and Shippo and I'll watch out for myself.
"It's rude to hold a conversation behind someone's back, you know," Hojo said, calmly, making me and Kagome jump slightly.
Don't worry, Hiei said calmly, He can't hear us, but he can sense that your expanding your powers to communicate. I relaxed and glared at the bastard.
"We will do as we please," I said. Yari nodded vigorously.
"That's right to brainless lump of fur!!!" She yelled out. Hojo's eyes hardened slightly.
"Are you two really so willing to die that you'd disobey a direct order from the King himself?" He demanded (AN; I know, major Ooc, but don't forget, he was just pretending the whole human thing. Gimme a break, I'm trying to make this work!!!)
In response, Yari unsheathed her pearly black katana and took up a fighting stance as Yakuso drew her poisons from her sleeves. Both met Hojo's glare with of their own determined ones.
"We serve their majesties Queen Yami, Prince Souta and Princess Kagome of the shadow kitsunes, not a pretender who received his position through marriage and nearly brought our people shame." Hojo shrugged, offhandedly.
"If this is how you wish to die, far be it from me to stop you," Then the other shadow kitsunes emerged. There were roughly forty, every last man armed to the tooth and glaring with single-minded determination. But there was something the bakas overlooked.
They were just forty men going up against seven girls, all trained in some way shape or form, though some had more experience than others.
Keiko readied the bow and arrows Kagome had given her, a fire in her eyes that hadn't been there in training. Botan took a stance with the katana I had given her, conjuring her oar and slipping it onto her back, just in case. Kagome drew back an arrow of her own, already glowing with ready to use miko powers. Yukina nervously took up the staff I'd been training her to use, eyeing the kitsunes fearfully. And I prepared to use Hirakotsu.
Don't be afraid, I told Yukina gently. If they feel you fear them, they'll go for you first. Don't worry, the others and I won't let anything happen, Yukina smiled at me and nodded, and Kagome spared me a quick smile herself.
The kitsunes attacked, with no warning. I kept one eye on the still nervous Yukina and the other on the kitsunes trying to get past me and to Kagome. I swung Hirakotsu around taking out five kitsunes at once before letting the bone boomerang fly, ten kitsunes were unable to fully make it out of this path.
As my weapon flew, I stiffened when I saw one of our enemies attack Yukina. I started towards her, but stopped when she brought her staff around and nailed him in the stomach, like I had taught her. Smirking, I caught Hirakotsu and focused more on my own fighting, concluding the innocent girl would do fine on her own.
I charged ahead, using Hirakotsu to ram into anything within a five- foot radius of me. Then I let it fly again, and turned to come face to face with a kitsune about to drive his katana through me.
Shit.
Just before the weapon touched me, a purification arrow shot through him, making him scream in pain. I caught Hirakotsu again and turned around to shoot Kagome a thankful look, only to see she was warding off kitsune after kistune in another direction, and it was Keiko giving my fallen attacker a triumphant glare. I blinked, more than slightly surprised.
You're not the only one who's proven to be a good teacher, Kagome said smugly in my mind. I rolled my eyes and smiled, watching Botan counter a kitsune's katana before wheeling around to nail him in the side.
Apparently not, I said, swinging Hirakotsu around some more. I stepped back a little as two more kitsunes fell to the earth. This was far too easy. Kitsunes were naturally cunning in nature, and warriors at heart. So why weren't they putting up a bigger fight? I thought of all I when about shadow kitsunes, most 'borrowed' from Kagome's newly restored memories.
Suddenly, I found something. Oh, SHIT!!!
"KAGOME!!!!" I yelled to my friend, "They're trying to build up their powers to phase through the shadows!!!" Kagome turned sharply to me, as did Yari and Yakuso. Hojo laughed.
"Clever, Neko," He said, smirking, "But too late," With that, the twenty or so Kitsunes that were left seemingly melted into the ground, making Botan yelp slightly.
I jumped into the air, and landed next to Kagome, soon followed by Yari and Yakuso. The other girls looked at us in confusion.
"They aren't gone," Kagome explained quickly, "They are simply using the shadows for cover. Shadow kitsunes can learn to phase into shadows, and sort of swim in them, coming out where ever they please. Staying in a small, tight group helps because they can't attack everyone at once, and others could ward off any that do attack," That widened everyone's eyes, and the others quickly joined us.
We stayed together, keeping our eyes on the shadows that surrounded us and feeling more and more tense. Yukina started to shake, and jumped slightly in one direction when the wind picked up a leaf and blew it away in the darkness of a nearby tree. She relaxed, looking slightly ashamed.
"HAH!!!" The ice apparition screamed as a kitsune appeared out of nowhere with a triumphant cry and grabbed her wrist, twisting it to make her drop her staff. Yari spun to take his head off, only to have another one appear and knee her hard in her stomach. Even with the armor on, it was obvious that the blow hurt.
"YARI!!!" Yakuso yell out, before another kitsune appeared behind her, covering her mouth and restraining her arms. Yukina was now held in the same position, then Botan and Keiko. I brought Hirakotsu around to nail the kitsune who was about to try the same with me, before swinging it again to take out three more that were attempting to restrain Kagome.
But when I let go of Hirakotsu, A kitsune snuck up behind me, and put a damp cloth over my nose and mouth. I inhaled sharply on instinct, and slipped into a hazy sleep...
When I woke up, I was laying on a small futon in a very fancy room that had no windows and only two doors. One led to a bathroom almost as big as the main room and the other, presumably leading to the outside, was locked. Kagome was laid out on the large, comfy looking bed, unconscious, and the others were laying on small futons like the one I had awoken on scattered around the large room.
I tried to contact Hiei, but there were spells sealed into the walls, that didn't allow me to use my new found magic. Worried, I did the best thing I could think to do.
"Kagome," I hissed, shaking my sleeping friend, "Kagome!!!" she moaned and rolled over. I seriously wish I had a bucket right about now...
Then, I was struck with inspiration. Smirking I stepped back a little.
"Princess,"
"DON'T CALL ME PRINCESS!!!!!" I stifled a giggle as Kagome jumped to her feet, glaring at me. Her yelled had woken the others as well.
"Where are we?" Keiko asked, holding her head in one hand. Kagome blinked and let out a shuttering gasp.
"This is my old room..." She whispered, going over to the mirrored table and brushing her hand over some of the artifacts on it. "This is where I lived before the shrine,"
"So, we're in the kitsune palace," I said, sighing. I had already figured that much out.
"Well, what are we supposed to do?" Botan asked, looking around at us. No one answered.
"I'm guessing all we can do is wait for the boys to come and help us out," I said, frowning a little. There was no way in hell Hiei'd let me live this down. Then Kagome made a startled sound, stirring me from my thoughts. Her face was pale.
"Where's Yari?!?!?! And Yakuso?!?!?!?!" We looked around. The vixens weren't here.
"Maybe they were taken somewhere else." Yukina said. Kagome fearfully shook her head.
"They betrayed my father, the ruler of the kitsunes. That's a capital offence, the only punishment for betrayal of the crown in all kitsune breeds is death." The room fell with a heavy silence.
"You mean..." Botan couldn't even finish her sentence.
"Oh my god," Keiko said. Yukina's eyes swelled with tears.
'BANG!!!' We all jumped at the noise outside the door, and watched as Hojo, that bastard that came with Ganko to the mall and another kitsune entered the room. I scowled at the kitsune from the mall, who was no doubt Reikoku, and most of the other girls glared at Hojo. Kagome on the other hand, kept her attention on the newcomer, and seemed wary and apprehensive. The reason for that was summed up with the next to two words out of her mouth.
"Hello, Father," "You majesty!!!" Yame turned in surprise at the servant entering the room, "You must return to the spelled room, My Queen, it's not safe for you in the gardens!!!" Yame frowned at him curiously.
"Why not? Lord Sujin said that Kurai was distracted. Has something happened?"
"Yes, my lady, but I'm afraid I can't get into the details of it right now!!!" The servant bowed and tugged at the queen's kimono. "We have very little time to hide you!!!" Yume found herself growing more concerned with each second.
"What happened? Where's Sujin?"
"I'm right here, Yume," The queen turned to see the rushed looking lord come up to her before he grabbed her elbow and started to lead her to the enchanted room.
"Sujin? What's happening?!?!" the lord bit his lip.
"Kurai. He... he found the prince and princess. They're in the palace right now," The queen stopped dead in her tracks, her face draining of color.
"Are they alright?"
"Fine, but I don't have any time to explain what's going on!!!" He turned to the Queen, a stern look in his eyes. "Yume, promise me you and your father will stay in the room until I give the okay, no matter what," Yume bit her lip and gave a short nod.
"Be careful, Sujin," She whispered.
"I'll try, Milady," DV-OKAY!!! Show of hands, who DOESN'T want to kill me?
