Hello! Once again people, some of you may have noticed the changes in chapter six. I tried to keep with the original story line as much as possible. I admit that it is hard. So, I am changing a few things around giving Kagome and Shippou more freedom in her modern era, unlike before. So I hope you enjoy.
"For Kami's Sake"
Chapter 7.
We last left off with Kagome and Shippou saying goodbye to Keiko (Kayko). While the three spirit detectives went to Reikai to talk to Koenma. Now on with the story.
Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke arrived in Reikai standing in the small office of Koenma where he was not to be seen. "Oh, just great the toddler isn't even here. Now what are we supposed to do? Damn this case, damn Koenma damned everything." Yusuke spoke out. He was agitated about Kagome and Shippou along with friends who continued to tell him to calm down that nothing would be accomplished if he didn't. The door to the office opened and the blue-gray ogre walked in carrying a huge file in his arms followed by Koenma.
"Oh, about time you three show up so what information have you gathered so far?" Koenma stated as he jumped up on the chair standing on it moving files around so he could listen to their report on the girl Kagome. "You better sit down Koenma. Kagome Higurashi is my cousin." Yusuke bit out as he plopped himself down on the tan colored couch. Hiei and Kurama couldn't wait to see the little prince's reaction when Yusuke told him the news. Seeing, the toddler with wide eyes and climbing onto the desk looking at Yusuke while sucking on his pacifier.
"What you can't be serious? Not even my father told me that. Urameshi this cannot be true. Kagome Higurashi your cousin, do you know what that means? Your a Kitsune too, that's impossible?" Koenma questioned with curiosity. "Let's get this straight toddler, I am not a Kitsune! Like, I told Kurama and Hiei she is my cousin, her mother and my mother are sisters, so that makes us cousins is that to hard to figure out, I mean we grew up together. If she knew about it, she would have told me as she did saying she is a powerful miko. She is gonna kill me when she when she hears that I told her secret! Besides, Genkai would have said something right. She knows Kagome and her family just as well as I do. I'm sure the old woman would have noticed any changes or the simple fact that they are Kitsune. But the fact remains, Kurama and Hiei both sensed it. Why or how they are Kitsune, I have no clue." Yusuke pouted as he slumped even further hitting his fist on the arm of the couch.
"A youkai-miko, by Kami is it really her, I cannot believe this my father was correct in his assumption." Koenma stated aloud. "What are you babbling about Koenma what can she not be. Spill it out already for Kami's sake." Yusuke yelled. "Yusuke, I'm sure Koenma will explain." Kurama said while Yoko ranted about his future mate. "Yes, what I mean is that my father King Yama believes that Kagome Higurashi is heir to the throne of the Northern Lands in the Feudal era and of Makai. Here, Yueske look at this picture and tell me if it is your cousin Kagome Higurashi." Koenma asked handing the picture to Yusuke. He moved off the couch and grabbed the picture looking at it. Nodding his head confirming that the picture was indeed Kagome.
"Ok! So, what do you mean heir to the throne of the Northern Lands and in the Feudal era and Makai of all places?" Yusuke stated looking at Koenma with narrowed eyes while Kurama and Hiei stood back and listened. Looking through the file he had George bring in he opened it up flipping threw the pages until it rested on two pictures of the Royal Kitsune family. Lord Iishiro and his mate Kunloon were on one picture holding a small bundle in her arms, while the other is Kagome being of her current age and in her demon form. This file contains all the information needed on all myth and legends. My father told me to look into this certain file, and I have. What surprised me more is when I read the ancient passage and I couldn't believe my own eyes." Koenma said nervously.
"Excuse me Koenma sir, how can Lord Iishiro his mate and Kagome be part of myth and legends. When they are in fact real?" Kurama pointed out. "That's' what I was getting too Kurama. Sit back, listen, and don't be in such a rush. As I was saying, Lord Iishiro and his mate Kunloon are blessed by Kami himself. How? Kami gave them a gift, a part of himself so to speak. Why? No one knows. Which now brings me to Kagome? Yes, she is Lord Iishiro and Kunloon's daughter but also Kami's. I'm sure you may have heard the myth of Kami Zoutou no Tengoku or the Zoutou no Kami or even Kami's . (Kami's gift of the Heavens/The Gift of the Gods/Kami's Kouun Kitsune-Tenchi? There are many forms for the saying as it was however; it is real not a myth. You see this picture here." Koenma turned the file around for the three detectives to see.
Yusuke and Kurama gasped while Hiei "Hn'd." when they saw the picture of the family especially the lone female. "That's Kagome, by Kami she's beautiful!" Yusuke shouted in astonishment knowing right off the bat it was her. While Kurama Smirked and Yoko began ranting 'See, I told you she would make a great mate, go get her now come on Suuichi move your ass or so help me I will do it for you.' Yoko demanded but he was left alone to his own ranting due to Suuichi being suddenly love struck.
"Yes, that picture there on the left is Kagome Higurashi age 18. She is a Royal Kitsune-Tenchi of the Northern Lands. The picture on the right is Lord Iishiro and Lady Kunloon holding a baby Kagome. You've seen her picture that only proves she exists and is in fact not a myth. My father will be pleased to know that Lady Kagome is alive and well. Which I am sure he already knows and that is why he had me look into this file." Koenma continued as he paced back and forth on top of his desk, which had limited space as it was.
"I must say were at a stand still for now until I talk to my father and find out what he wants me to do. Yusuke since your her cousin, I want you to get reacquainted with her and introduce her to Kurama and Hiei. If I trust my instincts and I do, something is going to happen and soon. So, protect her even though she may not need it. We may never know what or who will show up once they learn she is truly alive and well here in Ningenkai." Koenma stated as sighed and returned to his seat. Pulling the file back to him and sealing it up chanting something under his breath not even Hiei or Kurama could hear. The file glowed and disappeared before their eyes.
"So that's it. Our assignment is to protect Kagome! Who would want to hurt her?" Yusuke demanded. Koenma had a look of disbelief on his face. He forgot to mention that she is already being hunted by certain demons from Makai, and not to mention Sengoku Jidai. He looked at Yusuke and the others with worry etched in his eyes. "It's not that anyone wants to hurt her, much less than to make her their mate. She is after all a female and an heir to the Northern Lands, but should a demon with evil intentions mate with her just to gain her tenchi powers then he becomes more powerful and who knows what will happen? Kagome's destiny has not been written so anything goes." Koenma said as he cringed at the thought. While the others, eyes narrowed and anger written in their eyes.
"How could you leave something like that out toddler? Damn it, you wanted us to find out when some evil demon came to take my cousin." Yusuke shouted as he slammed his fist on Koenma's desk sending the piles of paper fluttering across the room. "Yusuke please, calm yourself I'm sure Koenma meant that hypothetically, stating it as a possibility that's why he wants us to protect her just in case." Kurama's soothing voice cooed.
"Whatever, he should have said it before now. You know its hard for me thinking of Kagome being something other than Kagome." Yusuke said confusing himself along with Kurama while Hiei just stood against the wall listening to all the useless talk. "I take it that we are to follow her and protect her from nothing." Hiei sorely stated. "I could find better use with my time than following some Fox!" Hiei said in his usual cold tone of voice. "I'm gone." With that, the Koorime disappeared into the portal that never seemed to close what his comrades did not know is that he Hiei became smitten from our very own Kagome Higurashi.
Back in Ningenkai with Kagome....
"Okaasan why did Yusuke's friends take him away? Do you think they know who we are and plan on hurting him?" Shippou asked nervously as Kagome and him walked to the train station. "I'm not sure Kit, what I do know is that they won't harm him! Yusuke has too much spirit energy for them to do so. I cannot imagine why he has that amount of energy but I do know it has something to do with that Koorime and that human-kitsune." Kagome finished saying as she paid their tickets to ride the train home.
"Humm, you know it would have been nice if that Suuichi fellow wasn't as he was then maybe we could learn something from him." Shippou stated as he thought of a way to get information from him. "You know Kit, that doesn't seem like such a bad idea? I mean we are gonna be here for a while perhaps we can use it to our advantage ne? I am sure Yusuke will be hanging around more, I just got that gut feeling inside." Kagome said as they boarded the train headed towards home. Kagome and Shippou had a pleasant ride back to outskirts of Tokyo where Inu Yasha's forest lay and the Sunset Shrine. Kagome began to sense someone or rather that Koorime Hiei near. She didn't care for the dude, he is as pigheaded as a certain hanyou.
She stretched her senses getting a fix on him when two other aura's appeared beside his. "Yusuke!" Kagome breathed out with relief that he was definitely alright, but her mind began working forming a plan to find out what and how she could use them for information and what information did she really need from them ran through her mind as they walked out of the terminal. Yusuke, Suuichi and Hiei now stood near a locker inside the terminal talking and spying on Kagome and Shippou as they left the terminal.
"Alright, here's the plan so far, we need to get close to her and I am the one to do that, once I regain her trust, I will formally introduce you Kurama then Hiei at different times that way she won't suspect a thing. Then we go from there." Yusuke stated not waiting for any arguments he walked on ahead of them making sure Kagome and Shippou got home safe. "Okaasan I can feel them following us." Shippou stated calmly. "Yes, I know Shippou I think they just want to make sure we made it home safely." Kagome cooed as she held Shippou's hand as they walked through the park.
End Chapter.
Sorry it took so long I had to look up some words in Japanese. Well, now Yusuke and the others know about Kagome, but does Kagome know what she truly is. All she knows it that she is a Shadow Kitsune one of the most powerful Kitsune Clans. Will she find out that she's a gift from Kami? What will be in store for her when she goes to school the next day? By the way people those of you who know the original chapters must remember the Ultimate Payback, and that's on the way...Gotta Review if you want to find out more.... Peace.
