Hey everybody! I'm back with the next chapter! Thanks for the reviews! Heehee I'm hyper, can ya tell? ~_^

The hunter and the fox both looked in the direction from where the voice had come. There was a young girl, perhaps 17 or 18 years old, staring back at them in shock. Her gaze was fixed on the hunter, her eyes bulging out of her head, slightly. "Se- Sesshomaru???" She asked, still staring at the hunter. (Heehee I told you it would be a surprise ^-^) The hunter glared back at her, demanding, "How do you know my name, wench?" Kagome's face paled considerably; where in the worlds and dimensions had Kikyo sent her? "D-don't you remember me…? The filthy human that always followed your half brother around?" Sesshomaru's eyes shot open, whereas before they had been narrowed into slits from the glare effect. "I do not have any other relations, human. My father and mother were both killed when I was three years old." Kagome broke the stare she had had Sesshomaru fixed with, finding her untied shoelaces very interesting. Her gaze traveled over the fox, noticing the deep gash it had on its side. She then
looked at the dagger Sesshomaru had in his hand. Putting two and two together and getting four, Kagome glared at Sesshomaru. "How could you hurt that fox!? He may be a yokai, but that's no reason!" Her tirade stuttered to a halt once Sesshomaru had thrown her another glare. "That fox has a reward plastered on his head, wench. If I kill him and bring his body to King Enma, I will get the reward of immortality." Kagome had stop listening half way through iceman's lecture, and had raced over to the fox's side.
Hoping that her miko powers would work for once, she reached deep into herself, hunting for the warm, soothing glow that was her powers. Yanking out a small piece of that warmth, she spread it over the fox's wounds, leaking out the poison, and healing the flesh. Once the warm blue glow of Kagome's magic faded, a cool silver glow enveloped the fox, shoving Kagome out of the way at the same time. When the mists had cleared, there was no fox to be seen. In its place, there was a tall, silver haired man. Kagome was staring, her jaw on the floor. Once her wits were regained, she asked, "Where did that fox go?" "You are looking at him, woman." The man she was staring at responded. Suddenly noticing the furry little fox ears on his head, she calmly walked up to him, and petted his ears (I wanna pet his ears too! Waaaahhh!). The corner of his eye twitched once, twice, three times, and he lost the internal battle. He started to purr. Finally getting over the feeling of pure pleasure, fox-boy noticed he
was purring, and glared at this female. Feeling the pressure of his gaze on her head, Kagome leaped back, bowing and apologizing. Her head shot up, for she had noticed she didn't know his name. "Um, ah, what is your name? I'm Kagome Higurashi." Kagome stated politely. (Sesshomaru: I'll just be in this corner if anyone needs me… ;_;) "Hn. Yoko Kurama." Since introductions were finished, Yoko gruffly stated, "Thank you for saving me. I will repay the debt. Eventually. Use this if you ever need my help. It's a one shot help though. Don't use it if it's not mortal danger, human. Although, you mortals wouldn't know the difference anyways…" (Heehee I'll explain this at the end of the chappie (why he called her mortal) since yokai aren't immortal in my story) "T-thank you, Yoko… " Kagome stuttered, pocketing the white rose with a silver stem.
"Hn. I should take care of the Inu yokai over there…" Yoko murmured, more to himself than anyone else. He called up his Rose Whip, and made to slash at Sesshomaru. Before the whip could connect with his neck, Sesshomaru summoned Dokkasu (sp?) and blocked the whip. The commentary that was running in Kagome's mind was…'Folks, this appears to be a battle of the whips! Who will win? The one with the skills, or the one who catches the skilled one at a mistake? Yes, quite exciting indeed!' Sesshomaru had made a deep gash in Yoko's shoulder, and the poison in the whip was causing Yoko to become slowly paralyzed. As the kitsune stopped to drink an antidote, Sesshomaru used him poisonous claws to attempt to melt Yoko's head off. With a triumphant smirk, Yoko lashed his whip across Sesshomaru's entire midsection. "curse you, Yoko…" Were Sesshomaru's dying words.
Yoko heard a shocked gasp from behind him. He turned his head to see a startled Kagome. She swiftly walked over to him, and began examining his wounds. Not wanting to be anymore indebted to this girl, yet knowing the deceased inuyokai's poison could, and quite possibly would, be lethal. Kagome quickly put her miko abilities into use, healing and disinfecting his wounds in the span of an eye blink. Just before Yoko was about to speed off to his home, the girl next to him remembered something. "Hey! Neither one of you guys ever told me where I was!" Yoko blinked, a wee bit confused. This… human didn't know where she was? How very odd. "You are in Makai, ningen." An idea came into Yoko's mind. "Girl, if you want, you may stay with me in my home, until I am able to send you to Ningenkai. That will remove one of my debts to you. You will be a maid. It can get a little… lonely, sometimes. And, do tell, how did you get into Makai?" Kagome took a deep breath, and explained Inuyasha's treachery, and
Kikyo's hatred of her. Which, of course, led to explaining about meeting Inuyasha, Kikyo being resurrected, meeting all the others, and so forth. The one and only detail she left out was the Shikon no Tama, well, her love for Inuyasha wasn't mentioned either.
~~~~~~Feudal Era~~~~~~~
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin's young voice cried out, slightly panicky. Sesshomaru quickly sped to the spot, worried for his young charge's tone of voice. What he saw made his spite towards his half-brother increase by at least fifty percent. There was a heap of bodies, which he recognized as Inuyasha's former companions. He felt a gentle pulse at his side. Looking down in surprise, he noticed his Tenseiga was glowing blue. "Sesshomaru-sama, would you heal the pretty lady and the big man and one with the tail? Please, for Rin?" Nodding his head curtly, Sesshomaru walked over to the group, and resurrected them. Sango was the first to wake up, groaning at the soreness in her chest. Miroku came around next, grunting at the fearsome headache he had. Shippo was last, coughing from his sore throat. (for those of you who are wondering, the sore spots are where Kikyo shot them.) Rin ran over to Sango, squealing in delight. "Pretty lady, will you be Rin's sissy?" Sango was a bit surprised at this question,
and she glanced at Sesshomaru to see if it was fine by him. With the barely discernable incline of his head, Sango pt on a warm smile, and nodded at Rin. "I would love to be your sissy, Rin-chan. My name's Sango, by the way. The man over there with black hair is Miroku, the *coughpervertcough* monk, and the one with the tail is Shippo." Rin ran over to Shippo, and asked if he would be his brother, and did the same to Miroku. They all agreed, and Rin went back to Sesshomaru's castle with her new family. All she needed now was a mommy…
Feeling a slight chill in the air, Sesshomaru lifted his head and sniffed. Death and dirt… Could it be…? His suspicions were confirmed as Inuyasha and Kikyo emerged from the cover of the trees. The former members of Inuyasha's group flinched at the sight of Kikyo's bow and arrows. The were preparing to attack Kikyo as she walked up, but stopped when she bowed, astonishingly politely. "Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, please forgive me for killing you… All that kept me moving was my hatred of the living at that time… Yet, now that I possess mine and Kagome's complete soul, I realize how horridly I acted. I longed to drag Inuyasha to Hell, so I could fulfill mine and his destiny; or so I thought. I regret my actions now, and I wish to help you all find the remaining Shikon no Kakkera, and defeat Naraku. Also, I… will help you to try to find Kagome, my reincarnate." The members of Sesshomaru's group all nodded tersely. She seemed to be sincere, and her eyes were no longer dead.

Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhoooooooooooooooooo! Another chapter up! I'm sorry to all the Kikyo haters in the world, but she's going to be somewhat nice in this here fic. But, I will have her die when they go up against Naraku. I might make her become more… er, typical Kikyo in chapter after next, but no guarantees. And as for why Yoko called Kagome a mortal, when all the other yokai are as well, just expanded lifetimes, is because he stole an artifact from King Enma's vault that would make him and his chosen mate into an immortal being. And just to warn you, I'll probably change the spellings of some of the words, like yokai and youkai, Yoko and Youko, Sesshomaru and Sesshoumaru. I might turn Kagome into a kitsune, I haven't decided on that point yet. Also, does anyone know any of Yoko's attacks other than rose whip??? I need some help on this point… Oh! If there's any questions, just put your ? in the review, and I'll either email you back or just answer in the next chapter. Till next time, folks!
Oh yeah! Story recommendations! Heat by Midnight Bloodred Rose, Summary: Youko Kurama is in heat and smells the worlds best scent and has to have her. but what
happens when the scent belongs to Kagome and she's in heat too? One of the few youko/kagome fics! ^_^
