Wow. Everyone wanted me to update soon, and since I've been having such a good day, and more REVIEWs will brighten up my day tomorrow, I'm posting this chappy. Well, enough with my babbling. On to the story!^_^
Chappy 10: The cat's out of the bag, er, well
/Youko/ ~Kurama~ ~~~~~~~~~time change
As could be expected on any normal school day, Kagome wasn't there and Yusuke was being forced to go by Keiko. Throughout the day, the spirit detectives and their friends couldn't help but wonder where Kagome could be. Surely she couldn't have the flu for the second time this month. And the Itchymonkeyitis thing her grandpa went on about to everyone who asked about her was just ridiculous. Most people believed he should be sent to a mental hospital. Some (Hojo, etc.) actually believed in these mysterious diseases.
Kurama and Hiei (well, actually just Kurama) had told Yusuke and Kuwabara the well, but Koenma had them all chasing after demons who escaped from Makai every day, so there was no time. To go halfway across town just to see a well, which could be a perfectly ordinary well, was just stupid to the majority of the spirit detectives.
~~~~~~~~~Saturday morning, around 11
As usual, the spirit detectives were out walking in the city with Keiko, Botan, and Shizuru, with the new addition of Yukina. Shizuru vigilantly watched over Kuwabara to make sure he didn't make an even bigger baka of himself than before since Yukina was accompanying them. After all, the only thing worse than a baka is a baka that's in love with a beautiful ice apparition. Hiei followed the group in the trees so he could kill the baka if he got too close to his sister. Besides, he preferred not to associate with ningens too much.
Although the others were enjoying themselves, Kurama was lost in deep thought. No matter how hard he tried, his thoughts kept straying back to Kagome. It didn't help that Youko was interested in the mysteries surrounding the schoolgirl.
~So do you know anything about Kagome?~
/No, but she has an air of power surrounding her. Didn't you feel it? It's very enticing, as well as her scent. Sakura blossoms and rain. She's beautiful, for a ningen. Perhaps, if we try, she allow us to help her lose her/
~Don't you dare finish that sentence, Youko.~
He snickered and smirked. /Very well. In any case, I feel that there is a key that will unlock the door to her secrets. If that key could be found, she would have no choice./ Silence took over the conversation, when Kurama thought over whether it was healthy to be talking to yourself so much, even if it was to his alter ego. /Something is coming./
~What do you mean?~
/ I feel something with a black heart coming from the direction of Kagome's house./
During this conversation, Kurama had stopped walking. The others looked back at him curiously. "Hey Kurama! What's the holdup?"
He ignored Yusuke's voice and ran with youkai speed in the opposite direction, to Kagome's house. Behind, he could sense the others chasing after him.
#Fox. What's going on?#
For once, Youko answered, to Hiei's surprise, though he didn't let it show. #Can't you feel it, koorime (a/n: that's fire demon, right?)? There is a faint evil aura coming from Kagome's family shrine.#
Hiei concentrated a little harder and realized it was there, an evil aura. If the fox hadn't told him, he wouldn't have sensed it, because it was like it was coming, not really there. (hope u understand what I mean)
~~~~~~Sengoku Jidai
"Inuyasha, watch out!" Kagome frantically yelled, reaching for another arrow from her depleting supply. About half an hour ago as they reached Kaede's village, a hoard of youkai had come upon them, almost all with at least one Shikon shard. They were probably sent by their arch nemesis Naraku. Thankfully, there was no sign of one of his offspring. It was hard enough fighting this group.
At first sight of the swarm of youkai, Kagome had ordered Kaede to take the villagers to safety, somewhere they couldn't get hurt.
At the moment, Inuyasha was up against what they supposed was the leader since it had five shards imbedded deep within its forehead. Miroku and Sango had separated from the group to help exterminate a village. The only reason Inuyasha had allowed Kagome to come back was because they had run out of ramen.
Her arrow struck true time and time again, destroying at least half of the group, but when she reached behind her next time, Kagome couldn't find any more. "Inuyasha, I've run out of arrows."
"Run to the well, Kagome!" He said, killing off some of the lesser youkai. "I'll cover you."
"But Inu-"
"Go, Kagome!"
"Um, right." She turned to run to the well, but not before a youkai was able to give her a stomach wound. She blasted it away with some of her miko powers and continued to run to the dry well, paying no notice to the pain.
~~~~~Back to modern day Japan
When they finally reached the shrine, no one could sense any danger, so Kurama proceeded to knock on the door. Her little brother, Souta, answered. "Hello, you must be Kagome's friends. What are you doing here?"
"Is she home?" Kurama asked. He could neither smell nor sense the girl.
"Sorry, she's out right now."
/Strange. Isn't she supposed to be sick with the flu or something?/ Kurama's thoughts were much the same as his alter ego's. "In that case, may we look around?"
Souta thought for a second before replying, "Sure. Just don't get too close to the well. It's in that old building over there. You could hurt yourself if you fall."
Kurama nodded his thanks and the others followed him. They all wanted to see this well. On the outside it looked normal enough, as well as the inside, but he could tell this was definitely the source of his bad feeling came from.
They all stepped inside the old wellhouse, wondering what was so special, then walked down the steps to get closer.
Looking down into the darkness, they heard a scream, followed immediately by a slap. "Yusuke, you jerk! Don't you ever do that to me again!" Guess what happened? Yep. Yusuke pushed Keiko towards the well, making her almost fall and she immediately retaliated him by giving him one of those oh-so- attractive red handprints. Then she backed away to one of the walls, far away from any danger.
Meanwhile, Kuwabara was laughing like a baka. "Haha, Urameshi! Serves you right for playing a trick on a girl! Haha!"
Before things started to get ugly(er than Kuwabara. Hehe^-^), Botan stepped in with a sweatdrop. "So Kurama, what's the big deal with this well. There's nothing special about it." Just as she said this, bright bluish- purple lights appeared from nowhere, starting dimly, then getting brighter.
"Hey, guys, I'm starting to get a tingle feeling." Everyone rolled their eyes at Kuwabara's latest stupid remark.
"Hn."
When the lights dissipated, blood could be smelled at the bottom of the well. The ningens of course couldn't smell it. Kurama, immediately recognizing Kagome's scent with it, left down the well to retrieve the girl, who was suffering from a stomach wound. Just as Kurama jumped to the lip of the well with Kagome in his arms, the light began to shine again.
This time a bat-like youkai flew from the well. Kagome's blood could be smelled coming from it's long, sharp, claws.
The spirit detectives immediately stepped into action. But every time they attacked, it was able to regenerate. Yukina finally froze it, but the ice melted too quickly for anyone except for Hiei to attack. Finally Kurama put Kagome down with the girls so he could help in the fight. Coincidentally, it was right where she stored her arrows. With some of the last bit of strength she possessed, Kagome drew an arrow onto the bow and released it with enough miko energy to destroy the youkai. Then, drawing on the last of her strength reserves, she crawled over to where she spied the Shikon shard and it purified at her touch.
Then she fainted, with a death grip on the shard and the spirit detectives looking upon the sight in wonder. Just what kind of person was Kagome?
AN: As usual, tell me if something sounds a little off. Sorry if anyone wanted a big fight scene, but when I tried writing it, it sounded really bad, so I'll try some other time. Um, I think I'm gonna post another, but much shorter, chappy on Friday, if I reach at least 50 REVIEWs. That's not too demanding, now, is it? So, anywho, watch out for me.^.^
REVIEWer Responses:
Rogue solus: Sorry, but I'm not going to do that pairing in this story. This is mostly because I don't want to have all the Kenshin people there because it's too hard to keep track of so many people. Besides, I had a good way to get Mir&meg together that just wouldn't leave me alone, and this is the only crossover do with the Kenshin characters I'm planning to have unless I get the right inspiration, so this was my only chance to do this. Hope u understand. ^_^
DemonLady1: Yay! I have another new REVIEWer.
