Hello everyone, I want to apologize for not updating sooner, my computer is being held hostage and I am restricted from the internet at this time but it didn't stop me from posting this chapter.... Until then this 14 page chapter will have to do. I promise that I will update every chance I get. I'm sorry for the delay, but you know how real life sucks at times.
I want to thank you for your nice reviews and I know Hiei and Kurama are not gay! It was a story line so don't get mad, you should be proud that Hiei and Kurama get Kagome. I also know that my spelling of Yueske was incorrect, it just looked and sounded better that way, however to please you I did the correct spelling even though I wanted to continue spelling Yusuke (Yueske).
I hope you understand that I had in the beginning of the story I would try to keep the characters as they are portrayed in the series, but with a slight twist to their personalities letting their inner demons rule once in a while, not much I assure you. I took my time going over this chapter trying to fix all the small errors in my writing and grammar, which I am positive that I still screwed up somewhere, hope you enjoy this chapter. Peace.

"What A Day"
Chapter 8.
Kagome held Shippou in her arms, as he was fast asleep; they made it back to the shrine in one piece. Kagome looked to the top of the shrine and sighed, did she really have to walk all those steps, as it was she was fighting sleep and carrying Shippou began to take its toll on her. It had been a very long day and she was not about to climb all that way with him in her arms. She knew that Yusuke and his friends were not far behind so she decided to leap to the top of the stairs before they rounded the corner. Now standing in the courtyard of the shrine she sighed with relief as she walked into her house for the comforts of home.
Yusuke and the others made it to the shrine and seen Kagome carrying Shippou into the house. He thought it was good she made it home as he looked to Kurama and Hiei lurking about the Shrine, sniffing and what sounded like growling from Kurama. He wondered what had set the fox and Hiei off, so went to investigate the reason as well. Coming upon the old shed, Yusuke remembered the stories Ji-Chan told him, he laughed at the memories. Coming out of his deju-vue he sensed an enormous amount of energy coming from the well house. He walked over and slid the door open seeing nothing but the old rickety platform, stairs and one 'Bone Eater's' well as it always had been old damp and very creepy. However, Yusuke felt powerful magic and energy coming from the well.
Unbeknownst to him Kurama and Hiei arrived at his side smelling what they had deciphered as an Inu hanyou's scent, The entire shrine smelled of this so called hanyou even though it was old it was still strong meaning he stayed around, but for what? The well house smelled of him the most along with the scent of haru (Spring), hachimitsu (honey), Yuri (Lily) and Mokusei (Jasmine), as well. Kurama's nose sequenced shaking his head to relieve himself of the odor of this unknown hanyou. 'Jealous now are we, Suuichi? I too desire to rip him apart just as much as you do! I have no clue as to why a hanyou would be here! There were no hanyou's in Makai, and to smell one here.' That triggered an alarm in his head, Yoko demanded that he go to her and claim her now before that hanyou tries Suuichi only snorted in response. However, they became concerned for Lady Kagome's safety.
"Hn. That hanyou reeks here as well. Not to mention by the upstairs window of the Kitsune's room and that tree." Hiei said pointing to the God Tree. "Hiei do you sense the strong magic of this well. It seems pure. Why in Kami's name would a well hold this much magic?" Kurama stated. Yusuke looked at his companions saying! "It's the Bone Eater's Well!!! Ji- Chan said it held pure magic and that if we ever got close to it we would end up in the Feudal Era being eaten by youkai. It's a legend, this whole shrine is based upon it. However, I'll ask Koenma when we see him.
For now, we'll just keep a look out. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Besides, we'll be attending Kagome's school tomorrow and work our way from there." Yusuke stated as he closed the well house door and turning back looking at the God Tree. "It's been years since I have seen that old tree. I'm glad its still standing." Yusuke smiled remembering the good times and playing tricks on Kagome and the family. A chuckle escaped his mouth as he tuned away from the shrine putting his hands in his pant pockets walking away leaving Kurama and Hiei to wonder what he was laughing about. They to followed his footsteps leaving the shrine, as Hiei said.
"I suppose, I'm the one to get the transfer papers from Koenma?" He asked not as a question but rather implied seeing they needed sleep for that damn school thing they always attended. "That is kind of you Hiei, be sure to inform Koenma of the well finding any information leading to why it holds so much magic. I wonder if Yusuke's Ji-chan was right Hiei!" Kurama stated, as Hiei looked at him wondering the same thing. "Hn, if a well could lead us through time then I wouldn't mind one bit." Hiei said as he to began thinking about correcting mistakes that could easily render his misfortune of this time. "Neither would I my friend, it would be interesting to see nonetheless, however that's very unlikely or every youkai in Makai would have been here teleporting back in time." Kurama stated, as Hiei grunted. "Later Fox!" In addition, he disappeared into a portal leading to spirit world.
Kurama sprinted catching up to Yusuke who was mumbling about Kagome and being killed by her. Kurama smiled a true smile hearing the plans Yusuke had in store for himself thinking that he was just as bad as Yoko. I am not that bad Suuichi; at least I do not talk to myself, wait I take that back I am myself. Damn your right about that one. So tell me when are we gonna make that bishojo shinsei (beautiful divine) Kitsune our mate? Hummm. I cannot wait to taste her I can still smell her heat from here. You gotta let me out sooner or later Suuichi, and when you do, I will claim her for us so that no other will have her.
You know you talk to much Yoko, just go to sleep will you. Kurama replied to Yoko as he and Yusuke neared their destination. "Kurama I'll see you tomorrow morning, get some sleep we'll have a big day ahead of us." Yusuke said as he turned the corner leading to his home leaving Kurama to his own accord.
Back with Kagome.
Kagome and Shippou had bathed Shippou had fallen asleep on the bed while Kagome finished brushing her hair and tail. Kagome carefully put him under the blankets and kissed his forehead saying "Sweet dreams kiddo." She continued getting ready for bed setting her uniform aside along with her backpack and all her completed homework assignments, hearing Souta saying goodnight to everyone she did the same as she set her alarm clock 15 minutes earlier, knowing she didn't want to be late for school. Kagome didn't want to go but she felt she should.
She had actually brought up her grades from a C- to an outstanding B while away from school. As it was, school would be over in two weeks. She had finally made it, she was happy. She had completed her four grueling years of high school with only two weeks left and then graduation. Kagome missed so much and after seeing Hojo in the park, Kagome knew she couldn't escape being sick again. 'It would do wonders to see my friends again.' She thought as she slipped into bed and turned out the lamp and cuddling Shippou to her drifting off to sleep. Morning came quick the bright rays of the sun shone thru the windows of every household and business.
Kagome and Shippou were already awake they had taken a shower, dressed and fixed her hair before her alarm clock even went off. Kagome was brushing Shippou hair and tail as she had done hers earlier and chanted the ancient rhyme sealing their demonic attributes. Kagome's mother Kunloon called to her saying breakfast was ready. Shippou ran down the stairs as Kagome walked casually dropping her book bag at the end of the stairs she headed into the kitchen where everyone sat eating except her mother who dished out the eggs and ham. "Sit down dear, you need to eat before it gets late." Kagome's mother ordered. "I'm not really hungry this morning I think I'll eat a piece of toast and go." Kagome sighed.
Her mother turned to her saying "You will eat a proper meal young lady and that's an order. Besides you'll need it from what I gathered from Genkai." Kunloon stated, as Kagome looked at her with an odd expression saying "why?" Kagome ate her breakfast as she listened to her mother talk; most of it was boring until she got to the part about Yusuke. "So, that's what they are planning to do. This Prince Koenma has been trying to figure you out my dear. But if I know his father like I do, then he'll most likely let his son learn on his own with a little help of course." Kunloon finished as Kagome handed the empty plates to her.
"Well, I gotta go I don't want to be late this time. I know things are going to be quite interesting today. Since Yusuke is going to be there. This is gonna be a good day I can already tell." Kagome cheerfully stated as she kissed her mother goodbye and hugging Shippou saying "Be good now." Kagome grabbed her pack by the stairs and walked out the door, skipping down the steps of the shrine she made her way towards school. Kagome saw Yuri, Ayumi and Yuka walking so she decided the silent approach to startle them. It worked. "Hey! Baby going my way she said in a deep husky voice that made it sound like a drunken beggar. The girls turned saying "Ewwwh!" There eyes all lit up when they saw Kagome's hand over her mouth trying to keep from laughing. "Kagome! Your back!" they all cheered.
"That almost sounded to real, if you know what I mean." Yuka stated as she playfully slapped Kagome's arm. "I couldn't resist, after running into my cousin I got this sudden urge to play pranks on people." Kagome stated as she looked at her friends gawking at her. "Anyways its nice seeing you back and so happy. I know Hojo will be happy knowing your back from China he's been so love sick wanting to visit you. Which reminds me to ask, I hope you don't mind me, us prying Kagome? Are you cured? Because, well you look so good." Yuri questioned then stated as the girls gave her a questioning look. "Not that way you perverts, get your mind from the gutter. Geesh. But seriously Kagome you look fine its like you were never sick so did the doctors in China really cure you?"
Kagome was lost at the question she knew she was going to kill Ji-Chan for lying again. "It wasn't so much the doctors that cured me it was the certain herbs I found that only grew in China and well as you can see I am cured. After graduation, I plan on traveling. I made enough money from the herbs I found to help me on my way. Oh! Before I forget I want you to know something!" Kagome stated she hated lying but she had to say something to cover Ji-Chan's stories and now she had to tell them about Shippou. "What is it, I know it's about Hojo right?" Ayumi questioned.
"Kami no! Not Hojo again, when will you guys learn that I don't like him like that. I have an adopted son named Shippou! There I said it!" All three girls looked at Kagome to see if she was telling the truth, and to their amazement, they could not see any ill actions indicating a lie. "Wow, Kagome you adopted a boy!" Yuri shouted as Ayumi and Yuka said. "Way to go Kagome, but how do you manage." They cried out. "I know its seems hard but actually its easy, and I love him more than anything. Come on were going to be late, we'll talk about this again later alright. Let's just get to school." Kagome had stated, as she began to sprint off in the direction of the school turning back she said. "What are you waiting for come on."
Kagome cheerfully shouted, as she began to hum a soft tune she heard over the radio. "Hey! Wait for us Ka-go-me!" Yuri shouted. Kagome turned and smiled brightly at her friends and began to skip muttering slow Polk's. The rest of the walk to school was nothing but mindless chatter about who and guess what's . Kagome sighed as they finally got to the school gates a sudden feeling of being watched crept up her spine. Kagome already knew who they were. Quickly stating "I'll see you later, I have to go to the office and check in." Kagome darted from her friends only to be tackled by no other than Hojo, which had caused her to fall on butt with a thump. "Oh, please forgive me, I didn't "Hojo stopped in mid-sentience seeing it was Kagome who now laid upon the ground sputtering curses to the idiot who knocked her down for the second time in two days.
"Kagome, I am really sorry. I didn't see you, are you alright, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Hojo quickly apologized helping Kagome off the ground. "No, I'm fine Hojo really, what possessed you to do that anyways." Kagome questioned then seeing the oval shaped ball in his hand she quickly derived a conclusion. "Football! I didn't think you liked football Hojo, but then again I could be wrong." Kagome stated as Hojo gave her a warm smile saying I don't but my friends asked me to catch and throw a few rounds with them before school. It's not my thing as you realize." Hojo stated as he threw the ball back to his friends.
Hojo held Kagome's hand while he picked up her backpack, "Since today is a new day Kagome will you join me for lunch and perhaps after school we could go catch that movie I was talking about?" Kagome looked at him with such disappointment thinking 'He never gives up does he, way to possessive, demanding and clueless.' Kagome looked at him while he held her hand as he pulled her close giving her a hug. You could here the Oooo's and Awh's on the school grounds along with a growl. Kagome quickly removed herself from his embrace saying. "Well, it's sweet of you Hojo but I gotta go perhaps another time. See you later, bye!" Kagome relayed as she made a dash for the doors leading to the classrooms and lockers.
Hojo stood stunned for a moment wondering what had just happened, he smiled devilishly turning and walked towards the doors Kagome had just ran through. Kagome actually thought about hurting the next person that knocked her down or any guy that tried to hug her in front of the student body. Kagome fussed with her lock when she finally got it opened she sensed Yusuke and his friend approach her. Without even looking at them she said, "Why if it's not the I'll be back jerk of a cousin and his absentminded friend! Yusuke, Suuichi what brings you here?" Kagome made it sound pleasing as possible. Kurama knew different as did Yoko. Did she just call us absentminded? Yoko snapped, wanting to teach this Kitsune her place.
Suuichi not wanting to fight gave in and said We were and she has every right to be mad at us so stop bickering and lets see how things go. I don't want to upset her or make her mad, remember we need to make peace before we can actually become....Mates? Yoko interrupted. No, friends! Stay on track will you Yoko. Suuichi stated. I am on track, you're the one who is off a bit, but I can fix that! Yoko proudly stated. "Hey! Kagome how did you know it was us." Yusuke replied thinking he caught Kagome. There was no way she could have known that they would be attending. "That's to easy Yusuke! Don't think I didn't know you were coming here, I've been expecting it since my mother warned me!" Kagome shot back while looking at his face with that odd expression he always got when stumped.
"Yusuke why are you and your friend really here? I know it's not like you miss me already, since You're the One, Who left Keiko, Shippou and I at the ice cream parlor! So how can I help you Mr. Urimeshi and Mr. Minamino?" They both looked at her with sad eyes and Suuichi took the time to speak up while Yoko ranted about making her submit to him and only him knowing his counterpart would soon agree. "Please forgive us Kagome! We actually had some business to take care of. I apologize that we did not return Yusuke in time." Suuichi said in an innocent warm tone that actually made Kagome smile on the inside. 'Good, at least he apologizes and look at those eyes oh, my Kami, their beautiful. What am I saying down Kagome this is not the time to get all emotional over a guy, yeah but he's so cute and.' Kagome was brought out of her thoughts when Yusuke spoke up. "Kagome, I am really sorry, Suuichi is right. Please forgive us!" Yusuke pleaded as he knelt on one knee grabbing her hands in his cupping them together begging her to forgive them.
"Alright, alright! If that's what it takes you to stop groveling at my feet, then I accept and you're forgiven this time. But don't think for one moment that you are off the hook Yusuke and that goes for you as well Suuichi." Kagome beamed up and down at her cousin as he raised himself off his knees and dusted off his pants. Yusuke hugged Kagome saying "You know I would not have done that especially in front of people, but you are the one exception and I love you Kagome." Yusuke swore under breath only for her however Kurama smiled knowing he just made in impression on Kagome. 'At least it's a beginning.' Kurama thought. "So why are you here?" Kagome re stated her question. "Oh, well I wanted to spend more time with you since school will be out in two weeks we had our mothers transfer us here. Before you ask Kagome Suuichi had to come, I just couldn't leave him to his fan club you know." Kagome looked at both with a smile thinking 'yeah and your gay' before she could finish the thought Yusuke continued. "And no he's not my boyfriend if that's what your thinking." Yusuke replied before Kagome could voice the question that gleamed over her face.
Kagome laughed saying "You know me to well Yusuke, but you have to admit that since you two are close, I wouldn't be surprised if either of you were that way." Kagome chuckled on the inside knowing it was funny. "What no way! How could you say, that I Yusuke Urimeshi would go that route!" Yusuke pouted as he stiffened up and began to act manly to prove himself as he listened to Kurama and Kagome speak. "Oh my that's a first, good one Kagome, I had not expected that one coming and to suggest that I would, especially with Yusuke!" Kurama voiced with a small cough like laugh. Yoko told Kurama I'll show her gay! Let me at her Suuichi, I swear she will see just how gay I can be.
At this time Suuichi reached his hand out and took Kagome's right hand by surprise raising the dainty hand up to his lips and placing a chaste kiss on her knuckles as he rubbed circles upon the palm of her hand. Kagome stood stunned for a moment just watching his actions as she began to feel suddenly aroused not wanting to cause a scene she removed her hand from Suuichi's grasp and stated. "I'm sorry Suuichi, I thank you for being a gentleman, unlike someone, but I can't. I just can't." Kagome stammered as Yusuke looked on in horror waiting for Kurama to be slapped yet nothing. Yoko tried to convince Suuichi to let him out he could smell her arousal and it was driving him insane. I know of your libidous nature Yoko so you don't have to tell me. I am sorry but I just can't let you take over until she's out of heat. Suuichi explained to Yoko.
Damn you Suuichi, I want to mate and its perfectly natural to do so. But I got stuck with you and you never once rutted with a female or even a male for that matter. I will have her trust that my dear counterpart. That I will. With that said Yoko became silent. "Well if you guys don't mind I'll be going to class now. See you around Yusuke! Bye Suuichi!" Kagome said as she headed for class leaving the boys to themselves when a group of girls just happened to be watching the trio talk. After Kagome left that's when they made their move. "Why hello! You two must be the new students Urimeshi and Minamino?" Kari a short girl with shoulder length hair and brown eyes stated. "Yeah, so what's it to you!" Yusuke replied as his eyes went wide seeing the girl who looked like Keiko.
"Well I am Keanna and the girls behind me are the welcoming party. Its our duty to see that the new students get to know the school grounds as well as whom to hang with! And that girl Kagome Higurashi is not one you should be hanging around she just might pass one of her diseases to you, it's a known fact that Kagome is sick, weak and not much to look at." Keanna stated, as the girls giggled. "Did you just state that Kagome Higurashi is leper of some sort, weak and plain, that we should not hang around her." Suuichi asked innocently as Yusuke was about to go off on the girl for saying something like that about his cousin. "Yes, she has so many diseases that no doctor can cure her and no one wants to be around someone who is sickly and weak. So why don't I show you handsome boys around Hummm!" Keanna purred as she inched closer to Yusuke and the others circled Suuichi.
"What do you mean sick, and weak for that matter! For your information Kagome is well, beautiful and stronger than any of you, so I suggest you leave before I lose my cool. I never hit a girl but, You are asking for it girly." Yusuke stated curling his fists trying to control his anger at the idiotic notions the girl blurted out. Kurama looked at Yusuke seeing his temper rise and him fighting himself to stay cool suggested to the girls."I am sorry to disappoint you girls, however Yusuke and I already know the school grounds and as to hang with, I'm sure you have better things to do with your time and as for Kagome, she is a dear friend of mine, and Yusuke's cousin! So I suggest you wash your mouth out with soap since it reeks from mis-information. If you would now excuse us ladies." Suuichi calmly stated while Yoko grew angry at the thought that Kagome's considered sickly, weak and plain the nerve of those ningens.
The boys pushed their way through the crowd of girls making their way to their first class of the day which Suuichi shared with Kagome in fact all his classes were with Kagome and he only two with both of them. Keanna and her small troop of girls were stunned by their language, but didn't let it faze them they were after all the welcoming committee so they to departed for class looking for more new comers even though Keanna seemed somewhat disappointed. The day was going by smoothly knowing Suuichi was in most of her classes. (I will not state what part anyone plays in, for my memory of the play is vague.) Kagome couldn't help but smile knowing that Literature class was quite interesting when Sensei Titogoshu had the class perform skits from Shakespeare's plays. Kagome was paired up with Suuichi, Hojo and Kulaan, in Mac Beth it was the most fun she had in a long time and the kiss Suuichi gave her seemed more than just an act and she let herself feel the passion of the kiss, it definitely held more than just a skits kiss. Kagome found her feelings for the Kitsune to be more on a friendly basis in fact she didn't hold much of a grudge on him as before.
Kagome left the Literature class with the speed of a true youkai, not wanting to face Suuichi after that kiss. Kagome walked down the halls feeling a little bit flushed when she rounded the corner where she met up with Yuri and Yuka who were talking about the two new kids in school and how handsome they were. "Man those guys are just so hot! I want the tall blacked haired one or maybe the other short one or even the red headed one damn their all so cute." Yuka said as Kagome walked up behind them saying. "Who's the cute guy or should I say guys your talking about, and don't tell me its Hojo!" Kagome said giggling to her friends. "You mean you don't know, oh my Kagome their just so damn cute. Every girl wants them to be their boyfriend and I don't blame them. They even put poor Hojo to shame." Yuri sighed. "Yeah, I remember one of them but I can't place where I have seen him before." Yuka stated wondering. "Oh for Kami's sake, you're not talking about Yusuke and Suuichi please tell me your not." Girls both looked at Kagome and Yuka shouted. "Huh hun but there is also that other new kid that's been here for a week now Meno Sigoshi he's such a dream, tall and handsome why have you met them already Kagome?" Yuka said wondering and waiting for an answer.
"I haven't seen this Meno person, but I do know Yusuke and Suuichi and I have seen them way to many times today besides I am surprised that you don't remember Yusuke, Yuka." Kagome questioned. "What, have I met him before and how do you know this information and I don't?" Yuka pouted as her head leaned forward onto Kagome's shoulder batting her eyelashes before Kagome shrugged her off saying "Yuka! Alright I'll confess, its as easy as one, two, three, for one Yusuke Urimeshi is...." Kagome words were cut short by no other than Yusuke and Suuichi. Who stood behind her giving her a bear hug while Suuichi smiled bright as he leaned in and kissed Kagome on the lips. "You are a hard person to find Kagome, why didn't you wait up for us!" Yusuke asked while watching Suuichi give Kagome a kiss on the lips, thinking 'Damn Fox what's he up to now, why did he kiss Kagome like that anyways?' Yusuke thought.
Yuka and Yuri stood watching the two they were just bragging about, hug and kiss Kagome. Yuka and Yuri frowned knowing the hotties seemed to be more than friendly with Kagome. Suuichi was quite pleased with Kagome's reaction as the two girls watched the scene before them and hearing Yusuke speak saying that Kagome was hard to find and why she didn't wait for them, as he hugged her and Suuichi kissed Kagome. Their little world just got bigger hearing Kagome's reply. "Yusuke let go of me you hentai and you Suuichi what gives? What do you guys want?" Kagome stated firmly as she struggled out of Yusuke's grasp and away from the love struck Fox. "Why? Can't I just hug my cousin and have lunch with her." Yusuke pouted. "That hurt right here!" Yusuke pointed to his now broken heart earning him a slap on the arm for his pouting remark.
"Forgive me Kagome, I wanted to make certain that the kiss in class seemed to passionate as the plays lyrics that had us spellbound. This kiss seemed more passionate and less of a playful kiss if you know what I mean besides your lips are of a fine wine you should be proud of those kissable pouting lips of yours." Suuichi said in a smooth mellow voice that made Kagome sweat with anticipation wondering what his next move would be as Yuri spoke up saying. "Shoot Kagome, you always get the hot guys, so that means your two timing Hojo! KAGOME, SHAME ON YOU!!! What will poor Hojo say? Besides if Suuichi is a friend that kisses you like that then I wouldn't mind having him as a closer friend!" Yuri smiled perversely giving the hint to Suuichi who only looked at her for a moment before returning his eyes to Kagome stating. "I'm sorry, but I am rather fond of Kagome and she has my full attention and nothing could deter me. You must forgive me if I decline your offer for I do not believe in that kind of friendship." Suuichi stated politely. "It was worth a shot, but hey what are you going to do about Hojo? He's expecting you to eat with him at lunch you know!" Yuka excitedly stated wondering what Kagome would do.
"What me two timing, I never liked Hojo that way and you know that, its not my fault he's so dense. He doesn't comprehend that I don't want someone who lacks spunk and manliness. Come on lets go before we miss lunch completely! Yusuke, Suuichi you coming or not?" Kagome questioned as she and the giggling girls Yuka and Yuri followed at Kagome's side. "Hey wait up will you its not like I have demonic speed you know." Yusuke retorted as Kurama peered at him and to Kagome who turned with acknowledgement written on her face slowing her pace as did Yuka and Yuri. Yusuke and Kurama caught up with Kagome and the girls who were talking about Hojo and how upset he would be knowing Kagome has another heartthrob chasing her around. Yusuke put his arm around Kagome's shoulder while Suuichi put his arm around Kagome's waist releasing some of his scent of marking her so other youkai knew to stay away from her that she has been taken. Yusuke and Kurama looked at one another confirming their intentions. Kagome only sighed knowing it couldn't get any worse or could it. After retrieving their meals the group sat down to eat when Yuka saw Ayumi calling her over to their table. The three girls chatted about homework and what they would do after graduation. When it came for Kagome to answer all she said was. "Shippou and I are going to travel a bit and see the world before I make any hasty decisions on our future. Besides, I know I am needed elsewhere I can feel it." Kagome suggested to the girls knowing Yusuke and Suuichi heard quite well.
"So where will you head first Kagome?" Suuichi asked. "Perhaps in time, I'll see all of Japan then check out all the great lands of Europe, Asia, the America's, and my personal favorite Africa." Kagome cheerfully smiled while her mind was on how much the room smelled of roses instead of the everyday smell of cafeteria food. Everyone's lunch was interrupted by two tall male figures standing over Kagome and Yuri. One being Hojo and the other Meno. Ayumi, and Yuka smiled bright seeing them walk over to their table. "Hello, Kagome!" Hojo stated as he introduced Meno to Kagome and her friends. Kurama sniffed not liking the boy introduced as Meno, he was in fact a Neko youkai disguising himself as a human. Meno noticed Kurama and Yusuke as he took a step forward challenging them as he stepped up to Kagome taking her hand and placing a light kiss upon it before releasing it and acknowledging the other two girls in a similar fashion. Meno could smell Kurama's scent on Kagome and knew he was marking her and he began to think on how to deter that minor problem. Hojo spoke up saying "May we join you and your friends Kagome?" He smiled so bright it almost blinded you.
Yuka, Yuri and Ayumi scooted over to make room having three of the hottest guys at their table would sure score some points for later gossip. When Kagome didn't reply and having her friends take the opportunity to move, giving Hojo and Meno permission for them to join, so they sat down. Meno now sat on one side of Kagome while Kurama sat on the other along with Yuka. On the other side was Yuri, Hojo, Ayumi, and Yusuke. Things began to get interesting when Meno asked questions about her illness and if she was cured, and how did she remain a top student while being away. Kurama narrowed his eyes as Hojo talked to Kagome and Yuri when Yusuke spoke up saying "You know Kuram...I mean Suuichi, I don't get why a low level...." Yusuke was cut off by Kagome saying "Well, it was nice meeting you Meno, but I have to go! I'll see you later Yusuke and don't pick fights with anyone you hear me! Ayumi, Yuka, Yuri don't you have some things to take care of like." Kagome suggested towards the three girls who remained silent, wanting the attention Kagome seemed to get from all four boys.
Kagome removed her arm from Suuichi's grasp who, seemed to cling to her after that kiss in class. Standing she said, "Oh well, I guess I'm the one that had something to take care of. Enjoy the rest of your lunch! You girls behave yourselves. I don't want to hear how four boys were overpowered and disheveled by three hentai girls." Kagome giggled as each threw a carrot stick at Kagome for her remark, earning a chuckle from Meno and Yusuke. Suuichi looked at Kagome as Hojo spoke to Kagome before she could walk away from him. "Kagome, I am really sorry about this morning I didn't mean what happened earlier. I hope your not leaving because your still angry with me." Hojo's face dropped knowing Kagome was still mad. "I'm not mad nor am I leaving because of what happened. So relax a bit, I have business to take care of." Kagome stated as she smiled a genuine smile towards him making him relax looking down at Suuichi she sighed saying she would see him and Yusuke later smiling she turned and walked away. Kagome had to get away from the boys, for some reason her hormones began to kick in again she felt her body flush her senses told her that the boy Meno was a Neko youkai and that look he gave her, there was more to it than just being friendly. Kagome made it to her locker going through her History folder making sure all of her notes were there for the quiz she would have after her gym class. Kagome sighed knowing that today of all days was the obstacle course which seemed harsh and hard to pass, now only seemed to easy. She knew it was going to get tough controlling her abilities but she would not hold them back.
Kagome thought long and hard about the day's events having her cousin here was actually not that bad considering all the things that had happened. The thought of what Yusuke said brought her thinking that name and where had she heard it before. 'Kuram., I wonder if there was more to it. Could Yusuke be calling him a nickname? I find out later I guess.' Kagome gathered her P.T. outfit and her History book along with her folder and book bag stuffing everything in, Kagome then closed her locker only to see Meno walking down the hall towards her. {Meanwhile with Yusuke and Kurama.} Kagome had left the table walking out of the cafeteria when Kurama spoke to Yusuke. "Yusuke, is something bothering Kagome? She seemed a bit flustered! I wonder what made her want to leave. Perhaps we should join her and make sure she is feeling well." Kurama stated as Yusuke gave him a questioning look. "She's fine Suuichi don't worry about it. Knowing Kagome the way that I do she probably had to use the restroom is all. She always say taking care of business when she has to go!" Yusuke smiled while he ate his meatball sub. (I know they actually don't eat American stuff in Japanese schools but they do now.)
"I believe your friend Kagome was more than flustered, she seemed annoyed and determined as well." Meno said in a cocky attitude knowing Kurama and Yusuke knew what he was talking about. "Hey, that reminds me!" Yuri spoke up. "Are you Kagome's boyfriend or are you just playing her?" Yuri faced Suuichi with no expression written on her face. "No, I am not her boyfriend, but my intentions are clear that I want her to be.." Suuichi was cut off by Yoko finishing his last words. "My Mate!!!" Yoko spoke proudly. Shut up Yoko I was talking if these humans find out that I have a split personality and talking to myself, they'll want to send us to a funny farm. So be quite. Suuichi reasoned with Yoko. "You want Kagome to your what?" Everyone at the table was now looking at him and questioning his answer. So he did his best to lie. "My Mate, my girlfriend, my dame, and so forth. I saw how men in Australia call their women friends mates in fact I think they call everyone mates for that matter. However, yes, I want Kagome to be my girlfriend, if she will accept me. Kagome is rather touchy on the subject so I won't pressure her into something she doesn't want." Suuichi smiled bright. "You want to be her boyfriend, I believe Kagome is mine! I've been supporting her and caring for her for the past three years why would you think she would go for someone like you!" Hojo pointed out. Everyone looked at Hojo while Yuri and Ayumi spoke up at the same time. "Kagome is not some piece of meat."
When Yuri stated. "Yeah, what gives you the right to say she's yours. And here I thought you were different Hojo, but you seem to be like all the rest." Yuri frowned at the now ashamed Hojo. "I'm sorry about that I didn't mean it the way it sounded. Forgive me!" Hojo politely stated. Meno spoke up saying. "This is nice and all, but I gotta get ready for gym class. Nice meeting you all." With that said Meno left. While Suuichi, Yusuke were bombarded with questions from Hojo asking who they are and why they transferred to the school. {Back With Kagome} Kagome turned and began to walk quickly down the hall away from Meno. Kagome did not want to talk to him for some reason he sent chills up her spine in warning of an upcoming danger. Meno had seen Kagome turn and walk away briskly wondering if she knew he was there for her, to take her by submission or by force to his older brother Lord Kurokawa (Dark River) of the Southern Lands of Makai. Meno believed she was nothing but a mere human a year ago, but that all changed when he witnessed her power and how she disappeared while at her shrine when she had not left its surroundings. Kagome was a puzzle to him and he wanted to find out why? Kagome would not elude him this time his mind made up he sped towards her in hopes to catch her alone for his interrogation, he would not dare take her now, not when the Fox and the Spirit Detective were here, he would wait to take Kagome on another day.
End Chapter.
Ok! People out with the bats and begin beating the author. I know it has been a while since I had updated I've been working on chapters and as you probably noticed this one was longer than the others. My computer is gone for the meantime, but a friend was kind enough to let me use his and his service. To bad he's not a fan like us. Oh well to each their own I always say. So tell me how bad or how good I had done. I love hearing from you all even if it is a flamer. We know I am not perfect and I always try my best not to be. I want to be considered different. I also want you to check out another story I wrote called A Prophecy of Silver Love formerly known as Silver Love which is also a Inu-YYH crossover I guarantee you'll love it, a lot of action from chapters 5 and up. Well don't forget to Review.... Peace.
I want to thank you for your nice reviews and I know Hiei and Kurama are not gay! It was a story line so don't get mad, you should be proud that Hiei and Kurama get Kagome. I also know that my spelling of Yueske was incorrect, it just looked and sounded better that way, however to please you I did the correct spelling even though I wanted to continue spelling Yusuke (Yueske).
I hope you understand that I had in the beginning of the story I would try to keep the characters as they are portrayed in the series, but with a slight twist to their personalities letting their inner demons rule once in a while, not much I assure you. I took my time going over this chapter trying to fix all the small errors in my writing and grammar, which I am positive that I still screwed up somewhere, hope you enjoy this chapter. Peace.

"What A Day"
Chapter 8.
Kagome held Shippou in her arms, as he was fast asleep; they made it back to the shrine in one piece. Kagome looked to the top of the shrine and sighed, did she really have to walk all those steps, as it was she was fighting sleep and carrying Shippou began to take its toll on her. It had been a very long day and she was not about to climb all that way with him in her arms. She knew that Yusuke and his friends were not far behind so she decided to leap to the top of the stairs before they rounded the corner. Now standing in the courtyard of the shrine she sighed with relief as she walked into her house for the comforts of home.
Yusuke and the others made it to the shrine and seen Kagome carrying Shippou into the house. He thought it was good she made it home as he looked to Kurama and Hiei lurking about the Shrine, sniffing and what sounded like growling from Kurama. He wondered what had set the fox and Hiei off, so went to investigate the reason as well. Coming upon the old shed, Yusuke remembered the stories Ji-Chan told him, he laughed at the memories. Coming out of his deju-vue he sensed an enormous amount of energy coming from the well house. He walked over and slid the door open seeing nothing but the old rickety platform, stairs and one 'Bone Eater's' well as it always had been old damp and very creepy. However, Yusuke felt powerful magic and energy coming from the well.
Unbeknownst to him Kurama and Hiei arrived at his side smelling what they had deciphered as an Inu hanyou's scent, The entire shrine smelled of this so called hanyou even though it was old it was still strong meaning he stayed around, but for what? The well house smelled of him the most along with the scent of haru (Spring), hachimitsu (honey), Yuri (Lily) and Mokusei (Jasmine), as well. Kurama's nose sequenced shaking his head to relieve himself of the odor of this unknown hanyou. 'Jealous now are we, Suuichi? I too desire to rip him apart just as much as you do! I have no clue as to why a hanyou would be here! There were no hanyou's in Makai, and to smell one here.' That triggered an alarm in his head, Yoko demanded that he go to her and claim her now before that hanyou tries Suuichi only snorted in response. However, they became concerned for Lady Kagome's safety.
"Hn. That hanyou reeks here as well. Not to mention by the upstairs window of the Kitsune's room and that tree." Hiei said pointing to the God Tree. "Hiei do you sense the strong magic of this well. It seems pure. Why in Kami's name would a well hold this much magic?" Kurama stated. Yusuke looked at his companions saying! "It's the Bone Eater's Well!!! Ji- Chan said it held pure magic and that if we ever got close to it we would end up in the Feudal Era being eaten by youkai. It's a legend, this whole shrine is based upon it. However, I'll ask Koenma when we see him.
For now, we'll just keep a look out. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Besides, we'll be attending Kagome's school tomorrow and work our way from there." Yusuke stated as he closed the well house door and turning back looking at the God Tree. "It's been years since I have seen that old tree. I'm glad its still standing." Yusuke smiled remembering the good times and playing tricks on Kagome and the family. A chuckle escaped his mouth as he tuned away from the shrine putting his hands in his pant pockets walking away leaving Kurama and Hiei to wonder what he was laughing about. They to followed his footsteps leaving the shrine, as Hiei said.
"I suppose, I'm the one to get the transfer papers from Koenma?" He asked not as a question but rather implied seeing they needed sleep for that damn school thing they always attended. "That is kind of you Hiei, be sure to inform Koenma of the well finding any information leading to why it holds so much magic. I wonder if Yusuke's Ji-chan was right Hiei!" Kurama stated, as Hiei looked at him wondering the same thing. "Hn, if a well could lead us through time then I wouldn't mind one bit." Hiei said as he to began thinking about correcting mistakes that could easily render his misfortune of this time. "Neither would I my friend, it would be interesting to see nonetheless, however that's very unlikely or every youkai in Makai would have been here teleporting back in time." Kurama stated, as Hiei grunted. "Later Fox!" In addition, he disappeared into a portal leading to spirit world.
Kurama sprinted catching up to Yusuke who was mumbling about Kagome and being killed by her. Kurama smiled a true smile hearing the plans Yusuke had in store for himself thinking that he was just as bad as Yoko. I am not that bad Suuichi; at least I do not talk to myself, wait I take that back I am myself. Damn your right about that one. So tell me when are we gonna make that bishojo shinsei (beautiful divine) Kitsune our mate? Hummm. I cannot wait to taste her I can still smell her heat from here. You gotta let me out sooner or later Suuichi, and when you do, I will claim her for us so that no other will have her.
You know you talk to much Yoko, just go to sleep will you. Kurama replied to Yoko as he and Yusuke neared their destination. "Kurama I'll see you tomorrow morning, get some sleep we'll have a big day ahead of us." Yusuke said as he turned the corner leading to his home leaving Kurama to his own accord.
Back with Kagome.
Kagome and Shippou had bathed Shippou had fallen asleep on the bed while Kagome finished brushing her hair and tail. Kagome carefully put him under the blankets and kissed his forehead saying "Sweet dreams kiddo." She continued getting ready for bed setting her uniform aside along with her backpack and all her completed homework assignments, hearing Souta saying goodnight to everyone she did the same as she set her alarm clock 15 minutes earlier, knowing she didn't want to be late for school. Kagome didn't want to go but she felt she should.
She had actually brought up her grades from a C- to an outstanding B while away from school. As it was, school would be over in two weeks. She had finally made it, she was happy. She had completed her four grueling years of high school with only two weeks left and then graduation. Kagome missed so much and after seeing Hojo in the park, Kagome knew she couldn't escape being sick again. 'It would do wonders to see my friends again.' She thought as she slipped into bed and turned out the lamp and cuddling Shippou to her drifting off to sleep. Morning came quick the bright rays of the sun shone thru the windows of every household and business.
Kagome and Shippou were already awake they had taken a shower, dressed and fixed her hair before her alarm clock even went off. Kagome was brushing Shippou hair and tail as she had done hers earlier and chanted the ancient rhyme sealing their demonic attributes. Kagome's mother Kunloon called to her saying breakfast was ready. Shippou ran down the stairs as Kagome walked casually dropping her book bag at the end of the stairs she headed into the kitchen where everyone sat eating except her mother who dished out the eggs and ham. "Sit down dear, you need to eat before it gets late." Kagome's mother ordered. "I'm not really hungry this morning I think I'll eat a piece of toast and go." Kagome sighed.
Her mother turned to her saying "You will eat a proper meal young lady and that's an order. Besides you'll need it from what I gathered from Genkai." Kunloon stated, as Kagome looked at her with an odd expression saying "why?" Kagome ate her breakfast as she listened to her mother talk; most of it was boring until she got to the part about Yusuke. "So, that's what they are planning to do. This Prince Koenma has been trying to figure you out my dear. But if I know his father like I do, then he'll most likely let his son learn on his own with a little help of course." Kunloon finished as Kagome handed the empty plates to her.
"Well, I gotta go I don't want to be late this time. I know things are going to be quite interesting today. Since Yusuke is going to be there. This is gonna be a good day I can already tell." Kagome cheerfully stated as she kissed her mother goodbye and hugging Shippou saying "Be good now." Kagome grabbed her pack by the stairs and walked out the door, skipping down the steps of the shrine she made her way towards school. Kagome saw Yuri, Ayumi and Yuka walking so she decided the silent approach to startle them. It worked. "Hey! Baby going my way she said in a deep husky voice that made it sound like a drunken beggar. The girls turned saying "Ewwwh!" There eyes all lit up when they saw Kagome's hand over her mouth trying to keep from laughing. "Kagome! Your back!" they all cheered.
"That almost sounded to real, if you know what I mean." Yuka stated as she playfully slapped Kagome's arm. "I couldn't resist, after running into my cousin I got this sudden urge to play pranks on people." Kagome stated as she looked at her friends gawking at her. "Anyways its nice seeing you back and so happy. I know Hojo will be happy knowing your back from China he's been so love sick wanting to visit you. Which reminds me to ask, I hope you don't mind me, us prying Kagome? Are you cured? Because, well you look so good." Yuri questioned then stated as the girls gave her a questioning look. "Not that way you perverts, get your mind from the gutter. Geesh. But seriously Kagome you look fine its like you were never sick so did the doctors in China really cure you?"
Kagome was lost at the question she knew she was going to kill Ji-Chan for lying again. "It wasn't so much the doctors that cured me it was the certain herbs I found that only grew in China and well as you can see I am cured. After graduation, I plan on traveling. I made enough money from the herbs I found to help me on my way. Oh! Before I forget I want you to know something!" Kagome stated she hated lying but she had to say something to cover Ji-Chan's stories and now she had to tell them about Shippou. "What is it, I know it's about Hojo right?" Ayumi questioned.
"Kami no! Not Hojo again, when will you guys learn that I don't like him like that. I have an adopted son named Shippou! There I said it!" All three girls looked at Kagome to see if she was telling the truth, and to their amazement, they could not see any ill actions indicating a lie. "Wow, Kagome you adopted a boy!" Yuri shouted as Ayumi and Yuka said. "Way to go Kagome, but how do you manage." They cried out. "I know its seems hard but actually its easy, and I love him more than anything. Come on were going to be late, we'll talk about this again later alright. Let's just get to school." Kagome had stated, as she began to sprint off in the direction of the school turning back she said. "What are you waiting for come on."
Kagome cheerfully shouted, as she began to hum a soft tune she heard over the radio. "Hey! Wait for us Ka-go-me!" Yuri shouted. Kagome turned and smiled brightly at her friends and began to skip muttering slow Polk's. The rest of the walk to school was nothing but mindless chatter about who and guess what's . Kagome sighed as they finally got to the school gates a sudden feeling of being watched crept up her spine. Kagome already knew who they were. Quickly stating "I'll see you later, I have to go to the office and check in." Kagome darted from her friends only to be tackled by no other than Hojo, which had caused her to fall on butt with a thump. "Oh, please forgive me, I didn't "Hojo stopped in mid-sentience seeing it was Kagome who now laid upon the ground sputtering curses to the idiot who knocked her down for the second time in two days.
"Kagome, I am really sorry. I didn't see you, are you alright, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Hojo quickly apologized helping Kagome off the ground. "No, I'm fine Hojo really, what possessed you to do that anyways." Kagome questioned then seeing the oval shaped ball in his hand she quickly derived a conclusion. "Football! I didn't think you liked football Hojo, but then again I could be wrong." Kagome stated as Hojo gave her a warm smile saying I don't but my friends asked me to catch and throw a few rounds with them before school. It's not my thing as you realize." Hojo stated as he threw the ball back to his friends.
Hojo held Kagome's hand while he picked up her backpack, "Since today is a new day Kagome will you join me for lunch and perhaps after school we could go catch that movie I was talking about?" Kagome looked at him with such disappointment thinking 'He never gives up does he, way to possessive, demanding and clueless.' Kagome looked at him while he held her hand as he pulled her close giving her a hug. You could here the Oooo's and Awh's on the school grounds along with a growl. Kagome quickly removed herself from his embrace saying. "Well, it's sweet of you Hojo but I gotta go perhaps another time. See you later, bye!" Kagome relayed as she made a dash for the doors leading to the classrooms and lockers.
Hojo stood stunned for a moment wondering what had just happened, he smiled devilishly turning and walked towards the doors Kagome had just ran through. Kagome actually thought about hurting the next person that knocked her down or any guy that tried to hug her in front of the student body. Kagome fussed with her lock when she finally got it opened she sensed Yusuke and his friend approach her. Without even looking at them she said, "Why if it's not the I'll be back jerk of a cousin and his absentminded friend! Yusuke, Suuichi what brings you here?" Kagome made it sound pleasing as possible. Kurama knew different as did Yoko. Did she just call us absentminded? Yoko snapped, wanting to teach this Kitsune her place.
Suuichi not wanting to fight gave in and said We were and she has every right to be mad at us so stop bickering and lets see how things go. I don't want to upset her or make her mad, remember we need to make peace before we can actually become....Mates? Yoko interrupted. No, friends! Stay on track will you Yoko. Suuichi stated. I am on track, you're the one who is off a bit, but I can fix that! Yoko proudly stated. "Hey! Kagome how did you know it was us." Yusuke replied thinking he caught Kagome. There was no way she could have known that they would be attending. "That's to easy Yusuke! Don't think I didn't know you were coming here, I've been expecting it since my mother warned me!" Kagome shot back while looking at his face with that odd expression he always got when stumped.
"Yusuke why are you and your friend really here? I know it's not like you miss me already, since You're the One, Who left Keiko, Shippou and I at the ice cream parlor! So how can I help you Mr. Urimeshi and Mr. Minamino?" They both looked at her with sad eyes and Suuichi took the time to speak up while Yoko ranted about making her submit to him and only him knowing his counterpart would soon agree. "Please forgive us Kagome! We actually had some business to take care of. I apologize that we did not return Yusuke in time." Suuichi said in an innocent warm tone that actually made Kagome smile on the inside. 'Good, at least he apologizes and look at those eyes oh, my Kami, their beautiful. What am I saying down Kagome this is not the time to get all emotional over a guy, yeah but he's so cute and.' Kagome was brought out of her thoughts when Yusuke spoke up. "Kagome, I am really sorry, Suuichi is right. Please forgive us!" Yusuke pleaded as he knelt on one knee grabbing her hands in his cupping them together begging her to forgive them.
"Alright, alright! If that's what it takes you to stop groveling at my feet, then I accept and you're forgiven this time. But don't think for one moment that you are off the hook Yusuke and that goes for you as well Suuichi." Kagome beamed up and down at her cousin as he raised himself off his knees and dusted off his pants. Yusuke hugged Kagome saying "You know I would not have done that especially in front of people, but you are the one exception and I love you Kagome." Yusuke swore under breath only for her however Kurama smiled knowing he just made in impression on Kagome. 'At least it's a beginning.' Kurama thought. "So why are you here?" Kagome re stated her question. "Oh, well I wanted to spend more time with you since school will be out in two weeks we had our mothers transfer us here. Before you ask Kagome Suuichi had to come, I just couldn't leave him to his fan club you know." Kagome looked at both with a smile thinking 'yeah and your gay' before she could finish the thought Yusuke continued. "And no he's not my boyfriend if that's what your thinking." Yusuke replied before Kagome could voice the question that gleamed over her face.
Kagome laughed saying "You know me to well Yusuke, but you have to admit that since you two are close, I wouldn't be surprised if either of you were that way." Kagome chuckled on the inside knowing it was funny. "What no way! How could you say, that I Yusuke Urimeshi would go that route!" Yusuke pouted as he stiffened up and began to act manly to prove himself as he listened to Kurama and Kagome speak. "Oh my that's a first, good one Kagome, I had not expected that one coming and to suggest that I would, especially with Yusuke!" Kurama voiced with a small cough like laugh. Yoko told Kurama I'll show her gay! Let me at her Suuichi, I swear she will see just how gay I can be.
At this time Suuichi reached his hand out and took Kagome's right hand by surprise raising the dainty hand up to his lips and placing a chaste kiss on her knuckles as he rubbed circles upon the palm of her hand. Kagome stood stunned for a moment just watching his actions as she began to feel suddenly aroused not wanting to cause a scene she removed her hand from Suuichi's grasp and stated. "I'm sorry Suuichi, I thank you for being a gentleman, unlike someone, but I can't. I just can't." Kagome stammered as Yusuke looked on in horror waiting for Kurama to be slapped yet nothing. Yoko tried to convince Suuichi to let him out he could smell her arousal and it was driving him insane. I know of your libidous nature Yoko so you don't have to tell me. I am sorry but I just can't let you take over until she's out of heat. Suuichi explained to Yoko.
Damn you Suuichi, I want to mate and its perfectly natural to do so. But I got stuck with you and you never once rutted with a female or even a male for that matter. I will have her trust that my dear counterpart. That I will. With that said Yoko became silent. "Well if you guys don't mind I'll be going to class now. See you around Yusuke! Bye Suuichi!" Kagome said as she headed for class leaving the boys to themselves when a group of girls just happened to be watching the trio talk. After Kagome left that's when they made their move. "Why hello! You two must be the new students Urimeshi and Minamino?" Kari a short girl with shoulder length hair and brown eyes stated. "Yeah, so what's it to you!" Yusuke replied as his eyes went wide seeing the girl who looked like Keiko.
"Well I am Keanna and the girls behind me are the welcoming party. Its our duty to see that the new students get to know the school grounds as well as whom to hang with! And that girl Kagome Higurashi is not one you should be hanging around she just might pass one of her diseases to you, it's a known fact that Kagome is sick, weak and not much to look at." Keanna stated, as the girls giggled. "Did you just state that Kagome Higurashi is leper of some sort, weak and plain, that we should not hang around her." Suuichi asked innocently as Yusuke was about to go off on the girl for saying something like that about his cousin. "Yes, she has so many diseases that no doctor can cure her and no one wants to be around someone who is sickly and weak. So why don't I show you handsome boys around Hummm!" Keanna purred as she inched closer to Yusuke and the others circled Suuichi.
"What do you mean sick, and weak for that matter! For your information Kagome is well, beautiful and stronger than any of you, so I suggest you leave before I lose my cool. I never hit a girl but, You are asking for it girly." Yusuke stated curling his fists trying to control his anger at the idiotic notions the girl blurted out. Kurama looked at Yusuke seeing his temper rise and him fighting himself to stay cool suggested to the girls."I am sorry to disappoint you girls, however Yusuke and I already know the school grounds and as to hang with, I'm sure you have better things to do with your time and as for Kagome, she is a dear friend of mine, and Yusuke's cousin! So I suggest you wash your mouth out with soap since it reeks from mis-information. If you would now excuse us ladies." Suuichi calmly stated while Yoko grew angry at the thought that Kagome's considered sickly, weak and plain the nerve of those ningens.
The boys pushed their way through the crowd of girls making their way to their first class of the day which Suuichi shared with Kagome in fact all his classes were with Kagome and he only two with both of them. Keanna and her small troop of girls were stunned by their language, but didn't let it faze them they were after all the welcoming committee so they to departed for class looking for more new comers even though Keanna seemed somewhat disappointed. The day was going by smoothly knowing Suuichi was in most of her classes. (I will not state what part anyone plays in, for my memory of the play is vague.) Kagome couldn't help but smile knowing that Literature class was quite interesting when Sensei Titogoshu had the class perform skits from Shakespeare's plays. Kagome was paired up with Suuichi, Hojo and Kulaan, in Mac Beth it was the most fun she had in a long time and the kiss Suuichi gave her seemed more than just an act and she let herself feel the passion of the kiss, it definitely held more than just a skits kiss. Kagome found her feelings for the Kitsune to be more on a friendly basis in fact she didn't hold much of a grudge on him as before.
Kagome left the Literature class with the speed of a true youkai, not wanting to face Suuichi after that kiss. Kagome walked down the halls feeling a little bit flushed when she rounded the corner where she met up with Yuri and Yuka who were talking about the two new kids in school and how handsome they were. "Man those guys are just so hot! I want the tall blacked haired one or maybe the other short one or even the red headed one damn their all so cute." Yuka said as Kagome walked up behind them saying. "Who's the cute guy or should I say guys your talking about, and don't tell me its Hojo!" Kagome said giggling to her friends. "You mean you don't know, oh my Kagome their just so damn cute. Every girl wants them to be their boyfriend and I don't blame them. They even put poor Hojo to shame." Yuri sighed. "Yeah, I remember one of them but I can't place where I have seen him before." Yuka stated wondering. "Oh for Kami's sake, you're not talking about Yusuke and Suuichi please tell me your not." Girls both looked at Kagome and Yuka shouted. "Huh hun but there is also that other new kid that's been here for a week now Meno Sigoshi he's such a dream, tall and handsome why have you met them already Kagome?" Yuka said wondering and waiting for an answer.
"I haven't seen this Meno person, but I do know Yusuke and Suuichi and I have seen them way to many times today besides I am surprised that you don't remember Yusuke, Yuka." Kagome questioned. "What, have I met him before and how do you know this information and I don't?" Yuka pouted as her head leaned forward onto Kagome's shoulder batting her eyelashes before Kagome shrugged her off saying "Yuka! Alright I'll confess, its as easy as one, two, three, for one Yusuke Urimeshi is...." Kagome words were cut short by no other than Yusuke and Suuichi. Who stood behind her giving her a bear hug while Suuichi smiled bright as he leaned in and kissed Kagome on the lips. "You are a hard person to find Kagome, why didn't you wait up for us!" Yusuke asked while watching Suuichi give Kagome a kiss on the lips, thinking 'Damn Fox what's he up to now, why did he kiss Kagome like that anyways?' Yusuke thought.
Yuka and Yuri stood watching the two they were just bragging about, hug and kiss Kagome. Yuka and Yuri frowned knowing the hotties seemed to be more than friendly with Kagome. Suuichi was quite pleased with Kagome's reaction as the two girls watched the scene before them and hearing Yusuke speak saying that Kagome was hard to find and why she didn't wait for them, as he hugged her and Suuichi kissed Kagome. Their little world just got bigger hearing Kagome's reply. "Yusuke let go of me you hentai and you Suuichi what gives? What do you guys want?" Kagome stated firmly as she struggled out of Yusuke's grasp and away from the love struck Fox. "Why? Can't I just hug my cousin and have lunch with her." Yusuke pouted. "That hurt right here!" Yusuke pointed to his now broken heart earning him a slap on the arm for his pouting remark.
"Forgive me Kagome, I wanted to make certain that the kiss in class seemed to passionate as the plays lyrics that had us spellbound. This kiss seemed more passionate and less of a playful kiss if you know what I mean besides your lips are of a fine wine you should be proud of those kissable pouting lips of yours." Suuichi said in a smooth mellow voice that made Kagome sweat with anticipation wondering what his next move would be as Yuri spoke up saying. "Shoot Kagome, you always get the hot guys, so that means your two timing Hojo! KAGOME, SHAME ON YOU!!! What will poor Hojo say? Besides if Suuichi is a friend that kisses you like that then I wouldn't mind having him as a closer friend!" Yuri smiled perversely giving the hint to Suuichi who only looked at her for a moment before returning his eyes to Kagome stating. "I'm sorry, but I am rather fond of Kagome and she has my full attention and nothing could deter me. You must forgive me if I decline your offer for I do not believe in that kind of friendship." Suuichi stated politely. "It was worth a shot, but hey what are you going to do about Hojo? He's expecting you to eat with him at lunch you know!" Yuka excitedly stated wondering what Kagome would do.
"What me two timing, I never liked Hojo that way and you know that, its not my fault he's so dense. He doesn't comprehend that I don't want someone who lacks spunk and manliness. Come on lets go before we miss lunch completely! Yusuke, Suuichi you coming or not?" Kagome questioned as she and the giggling girls Yuka and Yuri followed at Kagome's side. "Hey wait up will you its not like I have demonic speed you know." Yusuke retorted as Kurama peered at him and to Kagome who turned with acknowledgement written on her face slowing her pace as did Yuka and Yuri. Yusuke and Kurama caught up with Kagome and the girls who were talking about Hojo and how upset he would be knowing Kagome has another heartthrob chasing her around. Yusuke put his arm around Kagome's shoulder while Suuichi put his arm around Kagome's waist releasing some of his scent of marking her so other youkai knew to stay away from her that she has been taken. Yusuke and Kurama looked at one another confirming their intentions. Kagome only sighed knowing it couldn't get any worse or could it. After retrieving their meals the group sat down to eat when Yuka saw Ayumi calling her over to their table. The three girls chatted about homework and what they would do after graduation. When it came for Kagome to answer all she said was. "Shippou and I are going to travel a bit and see the world before I make any hasty decisions on our future. Besides, I know I am needed elsewhere I can feel it." Kagome suggested to the girls knowing Yusuke and Suuichi heard quite well.
"So where will you head first Kagome?" Suuichi asked. "Perhaps in time, I'll see all of Japan then check out all the great lands of Europe, Asia, the America's, and my personal favorite Africa." Kagome cheerfully smiled while her mind was on how much the room smelled of roses instead of the everyday smell of cafeteria food. Everyone's lunch was interrupted by two tall male figures standing over Kagome and Yuri. One being Hojo and the other Meno. Ayumi, and Yuka smiled bright seeing them walk over to their table. "Hello, Kagome!" Hojo stated as he introduced Meno to Kagome and her friends. Kurama sniffed not liking the boy introduced as Meno, he was in fact a Neko youkai disguising himself as a human. Meno noticed Kurama and Yusuke as he took a step forward challenging them as he stepped up to Kagome taking her hand and placing a light kiss upon it before releasing it and acknowledging the other two girls in a similar fashion. Meno could smell Kurama's scent on Kagome and knew he was marking her and he began to think on how to deter that minor problem. Hojo spoke up saying "May we join you and your friends Kagome?" He smiled so bright it almost blinded you.
Yuka, Yuri and Ayumi scooted over to make room having three of the hottest guys at their table would sure score some points for later gossip. When Kagome didn't reply and having her friends take the opportunity to move, giving Hojo and Meno permission for them to join, so they sat down. Meno now sat on one side of Kagome while Kurama sat on the other along with Yuka. On the other side was Yuri, Hojo, Ayumi, and Yusuke. Things began to get interesting when Meno asked questions about her illness and if she was cured, and how did she remain a top student while being away. Kurama narrowed his eyes as Hojo talked to Kagome and Yuri when Yusuke spoke up saying "You know Kuram...I mean Suuichi, I don't get why a low level...." Yusuke was cut off by Kagome saying "Well, it was nice meeting you Meno, but I have to go! I'll see you later Yusuke and don't pick fights with anyone you hear me! Ayumi, Yuka, Yuri don't you have some things to take care of like." Kagome suggested towards the three girls who remained silent, wanting the attention Kagome seemed to get from all four boys.
Kagome removed her arm from Suuichi's grasp who, seemed to cling to her after that kiss in class. Standing she said, "Oh well, I guess I'm the one that had something to take care of. Enjoy the rest of your lunch! You girls behave yourselves. I don't want to hear how four boys were overpowered and disheveled by three hentai girls." Kagome giggled as each threw a carrot stick at Kagome for her remark, earning a chuckle from Meno and Yusuke. Suuichi looked at Kagome as Hojo spoke to Kagome before she could walk away from him. "Kagome, I am really sorry about this morning I didn't mean what happened earlier. I hope your not leaving because your still angry with me." Hojo's face dropped knowing Kagome was still mad. "I'm not mad nor am I leaving because of what happened. So relax a bit, I have business to take care of." Kagome stated as she smiled a genuine smile towards him making him relax looking down at Suuichi she sighed saying she would see him and Yusuke later smiling she turned and walked away. Kagome had to get away from the boys, for some reason her hormones began to kick in again she felt her body flush her senses told her that the boy Meno was a Neko youkai and that look he gave her, there was more to it than just being friendly. Kagome made it to her locker going through her History folder making sure all of her notes were there for the quiz she would have after her gym class. Kagome sighed knowing that today of all days was the obstacle course which seemed harsh and hard to pass, now only seemed to easy. She knew it was going to get tough controlling her abilities but she would not hold them back.
Kagome thought long and hard about the day's events having her cousin here was actually not that bad considering all the things that had happened. The thought of what Yusuke said brought her thinking that name and where had she heard it before. 'Kuram., I wonder if there was more to it. Could Yusuke be calling him a nickname? I find out later I guess.' Kagome gathered her P.T. outfit and her History book along with her folder and book bag stuffing everything in, Kagome then closed her locker only to see Meno walking down the hall towards her. {Meanwhile with Yusuke and Kurama.} Kagome had left the table walking out of the cafeteria when Kurama spoke to Yusuke. "Yusuke, is something bothering Kagome? She seemed a bit flustered! I wonder what made her want to leave. Perhaps we should join her and make sure she is feeling well." Kurama stated as Yusuke gave him a questioning look. "She's fine Suuichi don't worry about it. Knowing Kagome the way that I do she probably had to use the restroom is all. She always say taking care of business when she has to go!" Yusuke smiled while he ate his meatball sub. (I know they actually don't eat American stuff in Japanese schools but they do now.)
"I believe your friend Kagome was more than flustered, she seemed annoyed and determined as well." Meno said in a cocky attitude knowing Kurama and Yusuke knew what he was talking about. "Hey, that reminds me!" Yuri spoke up. "Are you Kagome's boyfriend or are you just playing her?" Yuri faced Suuichi with no expression written on her face. "No, I am not her boyfriend, but my intentions are clear that I want her to be.." Suuichi was cut off by Yoko finishing his last words. "My Mate!!!" Yoko spoke proudly. Shut up Yoko I was talking if these humans find out that I have a split personality and talking to myself, they'll want to send us to a funny farm. So be quite. Suuichi reasoned with Yoko. "You want Kagome to your what?" Everyone at the table was now looking at him and questioning his answer. So he did his best to lie. "My Mate, my girlfriend, my dame, and so forth. I saw how men in Australia call their women friends mates in fact I think they call everyone mates for that matter. However, yes, I want Kagome to be my girlfriend, if she will accept me. Kagome is rather touchy on the subject so I won't pressure her into something she doesn't want." Suuichi smiled bright. "You want to be her boyfriend, I believe Kagome is mine! I've been supporting her and caring for her for the past three years why would you think she would go for someone like you!" Hojo pointed out. Everyone looked at Hojo while Yuri and Ayumi spoke up at the same time. "Kagome is not some piece of meat."
When Yuri stated. "Yeah, what gives you the right to say she's yours. And here I thought you were different Hojo, but you seem to be like all the rest." Yuri frowned at the now ashamed Hojo. "I'm sorry about that I didn't mean it the way it sounded. Forgive me!" Hojo politely stated. Meno spoke up saying. "This is nice and all, but I gotta get ready for gym class. Nice meeting you all." With that said Meno left. While Suuichi, Yusuke were bombarded with questions from Hojo asking who they are and why they transferred to the school. {Back With Kagome} Kagome turned and began to walk quickly down the hall away from Meno. Kagome did not want to talk to him for some reason he sent chills up her spine in warning of an upcoming danger. Meno had seen Kagome turn and walk away briskly wondering if she knew he was there for her, to take her by submission or by force to his older brother Lord Kurokawa (Dark River) of the Southern Lands of Makai. Meno believed she was nothing but a mere human a year ago, but that all changed when he witnessed her power and how she disappeared while at her shrine when she had not left its surroundings. Kagome was a puzzle to him and he wanted to find out why? Kagome would not elude him this time his mind made up he sped towards her in hopes to catch her alone for his interrogation, he would not dare take her now, not when the Fox and the Spirit Detective were here, he would wait to take Kagome on another day.
