Alright, Mou....... This damn computer! Grrr. OK so now hopefully I(ll be able to continue this story. Sad to say I still don(t have my own computer. Computer hasn(t crashed yet thank Kami. [Another reason for my tardiness would be my mother's apparent need to ground me for three weeks with out explanation. ] Well I(ll continue with the story this will be a VERY long chapter because you loyal reviewers have put up with my dilemma(s so well.

Arigato to all my reviewer(s

Disclaimer I don(t own Inu and Co.

Last time- That voice no......

Oh please Kami-sama no. I(ve spent so much time running. I don(t need another ghost from my past. That(s why we moved it the first place.....

Kagome slowly raised her eyes to meet the eyes of the Lord of the Western Lands himself, Sesshomaru. Amber met Ice blue and for a moment neither said a word. People passed but for the two standing as still as time it(s self had stopped, memories of five hundred years ago flashed before their eyes.

( Sesshomaru-sama, how...pleasant to see you again.( She said in her usual indifferent voice, pausing unsure of how to continue she simply studied Sesshomaru. He hadn(t aged a day.

(Hai, Although I must say it(s very surprising to see you again after so long( His voice and mannerisms hadn(t changed in 500 years either. Sesshomaru set his coffee down and sat across from Kagome. (We have much to discuss Kagome-sama(

( Yes, I suppose we do...(

W/ the YYH group

Yusuke groggily picked himself off the ground and looked around at his friends. Kurama seemed not to be paying attention to him, instead he was looking at the new girl.... Kagome was her name? Yeah, he too looked over at her and for a brief instance an unrecognizable emotion flashed through her eyes before she got in her car and once again drove off.

What was that? Shrugging off any questions on his health he walked to the school lost in his own thoughts. For a brief instance, right before he had been dealt the hardest blow of his life, he had felt something. The briefest of power surges coming from her. It had been huge. Something told him that if ever forced to fight her, he would lose and badly.

The girl(s power had felt larger than Toguro(s. MUCH larger. It had also felt like she had more power something other than spirit energy...... but that was the only kind of power there was. Right? Kurama(s POV

Some how when I mad eye contact with Kagome something seemed familiar; I had inquired Yoko about it but he never answered and in a seemingly melancholy mood before he finally cut himself off. It didn(t make sense. The girl(s eyes had flashed of what could have been something akin to sadness and loss but it had left just as quickly as it had come.

Kurama watched Kagome sped away and sighed. What secrets did this girl hold? Obviously Yoko held some knowledge but was unwilling to share. Yoko(s moods varied from very somber and depressed to happy and joyful. Yet he gave no indication as to why. He would cut off any mind link they may have but Kurama could still feel Yoko(s emotions, which was both confusing and difficult to handle. Often his moods would switch so rapidly that Kurama(s emotions would get confused as well.

Nothing made sense and even the small ruler of Spirit World didn't have information and any he did have would not share for some reason. The small ruler hadn(t been calling on them, it was as if he was saving them for some reason. Today was going to be another day where yet again he would not be able to concentrate. At this rate his grades would begin to suffer.

Seeing Yusuke heading to the school, he joined him. Walking silently together lost in their own thoughts.

Hiei(s POV

I watched as the two strongest members of our bizarre group walk to their ningen school. Neither what one could call aware. The girl was causing much more trouble than should be allowed. I had spoken to the Spirit World ruler shortly after Kurama but had gotten the same result. Nothing; everyone was keeping their mouth shut.

No one was willing to discuss what her past was or what had happened to make everyone so tight lipped. I admit the girl had to be something to detect me. Up until she had looked at me not even Kurama had been aware of my presence. She had found me every time I had been anywhere near her. She only once said anything. Technically she hadn(t said anything.

She had sent a telepathic message saying (Hello tree sprite(. It had confused him. He knew she had read his mind and sifted through his memories although, he hadn(t realized it until minutes after it had happened. So she knew his name, yet she had called him (tree sprite(.

Author(s POV

The remainder of the group walk off each lost in their own thoughts. No one had said anything yet it was obvious who had held their thoughts. Kagome, anyone had to admit that she was a mystery yet it was as if their three strongest fighters were in turmoil over something that they weren(t aware of.....

Everyone fallowed the three members of the group in silence less they aggravate anyone of the troubled spirit detectives. Reaching the school, Yusuke continued to the roof most likely, Kurama went with him while Hiei disappeared as was the normal routine. The three remaining members simply stared after them before turning to each other and shrugging and walking in different directions.

With Sesshomaru and Kagome

Sesshomaru nodded while taking a sip of his nearly empty coffee. Kagome finished what she was saying and for a minuet they once again simply stared at each other, Almost amazed that the other was really there.

( That explains a lot of what happened and the reason for every ones behavior. The taijiia and monk were uncomfortable, My half wit brother was jealousy. I suppose the only one that truly was elated over you transformation was your kit.( He took another sip of his coffee before throwing away his cup.

Sitting down again after he had gotten Kagome and himself another order, setting her cappuccino down in front of her. Kagome took a sip of her coffee, looking out at the empty food court. Making note of the lack of recognition of one companion. ( Yes, I suppose it explains much for you.(

( Yes it does, I have but one more question for you( He studied her face noting how she now wore the same expression that he wore. It surprised him yet it didn(t. She nodded the only indication for him to continue. ( Why keep your self hidden from me?(

Kagome sighed she knew this question coming yet she hoped that it wouldn(t. (It(s simple really Sesshomaru-sama; I wasn(t ready to face my past.(

Kagome and Sesshomaru continued to chat about things that had happened through their lives and about various things happening in their lives. Though both were relieved that they had some one to reminisce with. Neither had shown it but both missed the wilds of Sengoku Jidia. Stuck where neither aged yet the world passed them by, they were lonely even if they were to proud to admit it.

Sesshomaru finally parted after a while leaving Kagome to her thoughts. They had agreed to meet here everyday to simply talk. Kagome had told Sesshomaru of the double image and the spirit detectives. They both agreed that they would inconspicuously help the detectives. Making sure that they were on there toes and handling things that they might not be able to. Though both were at a loss for the double image.

Kagome knew she was forgetting something. What was it though? Leaning back in her chair she took a sip of the cappuccino that Sess-Kun had bought her. Sighing Kagome stood up and threw away her now empty cup as she headed for the door. She(d figure it out later. For now she was going home to get some training in. She wasn(t going to school. She had already missed half a day and Kami knows what would happen if the Spirit Detectives pushed her too far today.

YYH group

The YYH group sat on the roof at lunch as they always did, Yusuke and Kuwabara where at it again and Hiei was off in a tree. Kurama watched the same old brawl between his friends with amusement. Some things never change and some how he had a feeling that would be the case with his two young companions. A silver blur drew his attention away from the daily skirmish of Yusuke and Kuwabara.

Looking at the silver mustang that sped down the street that went in front of the school. Ah yes, Kagome. Some one that he couldn(t keep off his mind. There was something so very familiar yet Yoko was unwilling to talk. Earlier that day had only gone to prove his theory.

When he had turned to look at her. If only for a moment Kagome(s eyes were not guarded. They held pain ,longing and so many more emotions that he could not identify. He realized why a moment later as he felt Yoko(s Youki recede to a much lower level; but one thing confused him, why would all those emotions surface if all she felt was Yoko(s Youki. It was as she was no longer looking at him but rather Yoko, but that wasn(t possible was it?

There were simply to many mystery(s revolving around this single person. Though he had been distracted lately he had not been the only one. Hiei and Yusuke had also. They had been lucky, Koenma had not called on them. Though often he would sense trouble but it would disappear as if some one else had taken care of it.

Yusuke(s Point of view -

As he walked home in the collective group, It was silent as it had been for the past few days.... or had it been weeks? He had lost all clue as to when things had began to change but it had.. Kurama was often deep in thought and often his moods would sem confused and switch rapidly. He suspected it had to do with Yoko. During these periods of confusion Kurama(s eye(s would flash gold or held flecks of the Kitsune(s eye(s.

Even Hiei was affected. He had to get to the bottom of this. There was only one person that had the Answers. Koenma. Stopping abruptly his other companions fallowed suit. Hiei and Kurama had tried getting information, but maybe as a collective group they would be more successful Shrugging off the questioning looks that his friends sent him., he turned to Boton.

Open a portal to Prince Koenmas office. It was a command not a request. From the tone of his voice Boton got the message and did as told. This would be a long day for the spirit detectives.

Out Side the Mall

Kagome headed for her car, Mentally preparing herself for the training session to come. The clouds above were blue and cheerful but in the distance ominous clouds loomed. If that was any sign for Kagome to know what was headed her way; it wasn(t good news with the way things were going.

As she passed a trash bin an Aura jolted her senses. This could not be a mortal or youkai, it was far too powerful. Turning every which way Kagome attempted to find the source of power.

Kagome's POV

Where is it coming from? Turning to my left I spotted a industrial trash can. Behind it I can see the aura of whatever caused the disturbance.

Normal POV

Kagome cautiously made her way towards the trash can and what she found surprised her.....
