Waking up from the first restful sleep she'd had in quite a while, Kagome sat up before realizing there was an arm wrapped around her waist. Fuzzily recalling the events of the last night, she blushed crimson. At least there wasn't a risk of a baby… she had stopped him before they'd went that far. Youko stirred in his sleep, attempting to pull her back down beside him. "Get back down here you…" He trailed off into some incomprehensible phrase. "Sumimasen?!" Kagome had quite a good idea of what Youko had said. Now that he was fully awake, he realized that it wasn't one of his past relations. "Ohayo, Kagome…!" 'She didn't notice… phew…' "Ano… Youko, who exactly is Yuki?" 'KUSO!' Youko's face paled dramatically when she said these words.
"Well… she's, ano, er, someonethatIhadonaonenightstandawhileago." Taking a few seconds to actually understand the words that were coming out of his mouth (haha Rush Hour), she turned a furious color of red and leaped out of his embrace. With an astonishing amount of anger, she turned on Youko and began to shriek at him. "Is that all I am to you?!? A ONE-NIGHT STAND?!? At least with Inuyasha we were at least friends!" At those last words, Kagome turned to one of the many open windows and leaped out of his line of vision.
Landing gracefully from her fourth-story leap, Kagome blindly ran away from the castle, not even noticing where she was. When her emotions settled, realization that she was completely lost hit her harder that a skyscraper falling on her. Looking around for a stump to sit on, she drew her knees up to her chest, thankful that she at least had something on, flimsy though it was. Letting tears slowly fall down her cheeks, she began mourning for her re-shattered heart. While with Yoko she had felt it slowly being drawn back together, until it was a whole again. Just as that had happened, it flew out the window of the tallest building to land on the cement and shatter into a million pieces… again. 'This is all "love" has ever done for me, isn't it…? Maybe I should just give up on ever finding anyone to trust with my heart, and keep it sheltered from the world…'
Yet, even as she thought this, she knew it wouldn't be possible. Happy-go-luckiness was just in her nature, and to defy one's nature is asking for destruction. "What's the matter, young one?" A silky voice threaded its way to her fox ears. "Ah! Who's there?" Kagome leaped up from her stump, startled. A male youkai slowly stepped out from behind a tree where he was hiding. "I'm Shiroi, a simple koorime. Who are you, trespassing in my lands?" Kagome looked him up and down, finding that his name fit him very well. He was wearing an outfit similar to the Sengoku Jidai's Sesshomaru, minus the armor. He didn't have the flowers, instead the was a black-and-grey flame pattern, also on the bottom of his pants. Shiroi's skin was very pale, yet his eyes were a dancing shade of violet. His hair was long, down to the knees, and silvery, although lighter than Youko's.
Kagome hurriedly bowed, and replied to the question, "I am Kagome, a Kitsune." Mentally slapping herself for the obvious announcement, she silently groaned. "Well, why are you…" Shiroi's voice trailed off as he detected the scent of one of the strongest fighters in Makai on her. With a sudden coldness in his voice, he demanded, "Why are you here, if Youko Kurama so willingly accepts you into his home?" The female kitsune looked up at him with confusion in her eyes. "If he accepted me, then why precisely did he refer to me as 'Yuki', one of his supposed flings?" "How early was this, Kagome?" She fidgeted under his gaze. "Ano… around dawn, why?" Shiroi crumpled onto the ground, amidst gales of laughter. "You really are foolish, young Kagome! Youko is senseless that early in the morning! You should be thankful he didn't call you Kaguya!" Kagome flinched in a bit of fear. "Who exactly is 'Kaguya'?" Shiroi continued to roll on the forest floor laughing. "His Mommy!" Kagome stared in shock for a while, before joining him in the laughter.
Youko, who had been searching for Kagome ever since she had taken off, at last came to the clearing where she and Shiroi were talking. The only words he had heard were "…Mommy!" and then fits of laughter. He stormed into the clearing, to see his good friend Shiroi and Kagome laying on the forest ground, laughing their heads off. He was relieved to see Kagome happy again, but extremely worried about what Shiroi had told Kagome for her to be laughing this hard. "Shiroi… what exactly did you tell Kagome?" however, he was to busy laughing to answer his friend, so instead Kagome stumbled over to him and leaned onto his chest. With tears coming out of her eyes from laughing so hard, she giggled to him, "Thanks for not thinking I was your Mommy, Youko!" The look on his face sent her into another bout of laughter, leaning onto Youko's bare chest for support. 'Shiroi… I'm going to get you for this…' Youko thought menacingly.
Instead of turning thoughts into deeds, the male kitsune coughed to get their attention. "How about we all go back to my home for a bit of breakfast…?" Shiroi, surprised he was still alive, readily agreed. Kagome nodded into his chest, starting to get hiccups from so much laughing. Youko lifted her up bridal style and ran back home, leaving Shiroi in the dust.
Once they were both back in the courtyard of his home, Kagome looked up at Youko, deciding to say it now or never. "Ano… Youko, I've got something to tell you…" 'Oh Kami, I'm in for it…' he thought to himself. "I-I, that is, I love you!" "Ka…?" he looked at her dazedly. "Baka! I said that I LOVE YOU! Need me to spell it out?" Despite her words, Kagome's thoughts were falling to pieces… 'Oh no, I shouldn't have said anything, oh kuso….' A slightly shaking voice broke her free from her thoughts. "Yokata…" his words confused her, to say the least. "Doushite…?" Youko laughed lightly, feeling a great weight lifted off his shoulders. "I was afraid you didn't feel that same way I did." He replied, hugging her, and then swinging her around in a circle.
))Well, there's a happy ending to the Makai chapter, so I'll do a Feudal one now…((
"Finally… we have the last shard! Now we just have to find Naraku and kill him off…" Miroku sighed happily. "Yeah, then I can wish kikyo back!" Inuyasha exclaimed happily. Sango, Miroku, and Sesshomaru glared at him. "What?!?" "Inuyasha, remember…? We determined that that Shikon would go back to KAGOME, since she is the rightful guardian."
Sesshomaru's icy tone told Inuyasha that there wouldn't be any arguments. All of a sudden, a cloud of miasma descended from the heavens, and a sinister voice rang out, "I thank you all for retrieving the remaining shards for me. Hand them over, or else."
None of the members of the group made a move. Naraku drifted to the ground, nodding his head. "If that is the way you wish it to be…" He pulled a double bladed katana from its sheath at his waist, charging SesshouMaru, whom he sensed had most of the jewels. Easily deflecting the hanyou's attack with his Dokkasu, Sesshomaru wrapped the whip around the sword yanking, it out of Naraku's grasp. Naraku then summoned his tentacles, which began to lash at the four members of the group. (This isn't a puppet, by the way…) Sango leaped on Kirara, flying for the back of Naraku's neck, where the shards were held on a thin chain. Hovering there for a few short moments, she yanked the shards off and hurriedly flew away, getting slashed across her midsection for her efforts.
Inuyasha ran into the fray, assisting his brother with the weakened hanyou. "Sesshomaru! Leave him to me! KAZE NO KUNO!" Naraku, as a final retaliation, lashed out with a tentacle, slicing Inuyasha from his right shoulder to his left hip, almost mirroring the blow that killed Kikyo, yet this wasn't quite as fatal. No pulsing organs were revealed, however, miasma had infected the wound. Sesshomaru ran over to his younger sibling, with the Tenseiga out. "You… would actually heal… me, bro…ther" Inuyasha managed to whisper. In response, the Tenseiga glowed a soft blue, and Sesshomaru slashed it across Inuyasha's wounded body, completely healing him, and sending him into a deep sleep. Sango walked over to Sess with Miroku, who was staring at his right hand in awe. The Kazaana was no more. Sango wearily tossed the half of Naraku's jewel shards to him, and Sesshomaru joined the together. A bright pink flash blinded them all, and once their eyes were cleared, they noticed something: The completed Shikon no Tama had… vanished.

Heehee, sorta a cliffy. I'll try to update soon, but there's no guarantee. Until March 27th (2 days before my b-day! Yippee!), I have backstage construction for Robin Hood until around 5 PM, most days. Well, I'm gonna go play some Final Fantasy X, sleep, and post this chapter… Later!
