Chapter Two- Informing Koenma and Becoming a Kitsune
Kagome and Sango had changed and were getting ready to go shopping. "Mom we're leaving now! Bye!"
"Goodbye dear."
"Oh Shippou and Kirara wanted to stay here. Is that okay?"
"Of course. They're welcome to stay. There is one quick errand I need to run, though, so they'll have to come with me."
"Thanks mom. See you later." Kagome grabbed her car keys and walked out the door, Sango right behind her.
After they were gone Mrs. Higurashi turned to Shippou and Kirara. "You two don't mind accompanying me real quick do you? I don't really want to leave you here by yourself. It's dangerous." Shippou and Kirara agreed to go with her and they watched as she transformed. Her short, black hair grew to midback and turned silver. Her dark brown eyes lightened to a honey color. She also grew fangs and claws. A silver tail sprouted and her ears pointed.
"Wow you're really pretty Mrs. Higurashi," Shippou exclaimed.
"Thank you Shippou. But you don't have to call me Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome's you're mother figure right?" He nodded. "Then you can call me grandma."
"Okay grandma! So where are we going?"
"We're going to inform the prince of Reikai, Koenma, about releasing Kagome's powers. If we don't tell him what we're doing he may get suspicious of the power and send someone over to investigate. Someone might get hurt if that happens."
"Oh, okay."
"Come on, let's go." She opened a portal to Reikai and stepped through. Shippou and Kirara followed suit.
When they stepped out of the portal they found themselves in Koenma's office. They also found six pairs of eyes resting on them.
"Hello Koenma-sama. Long time no see," Kagome's mother said while bowing slightly to what appeared to be a toddler.
"Ah, Shina. I had a feeling I would be seeing you soon," the toddler, now identified as Koenma, stated calmly.
"Whoa! That's Koenma? He's barely bigger than me!" Shippou was thoroughly shocked. 'This is Koenma? I don't believe it!'
Yusuke and Kuwabara busted out laughing and Kurama chuckled. Koenma glared at them and told them to shut up.
"Shippou, I know he doesn't look like much, but that is Koenma. You need to mind your manners," Shina scolded.
Shippou's eyes got watery and he said, "I'm sorry grandma. I didn't mean to insult him."
Shina, noticing that he was on the verge of tears, picked him up and started to assure him that it was okay. "Shh Shippou. It's okay. Don't cry."
Yusuke interrupted the little sappy moment by rudely asking who they were and what they were doing there.
"Oh, who are you? I've never seen you before," Shina said.
"Ah, yes. Allow me to introduce the spirit detectives of Earth. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei," Koenma stated, pointing to each detective in turn.
Mrs. Higurashi bowed to them and introduced her companions. "I'm Shina, this is Shippou, and that is Kirara."
Where did the kit come from Shina? I don't believe we have ever met," Koenma said.
"Shippou is Kagome's adopted son. His father was killed by two youkai known as the Thunder Brothers. Kagome took him in. I think they're quite attached to each other."
"Okay. So is there a reason why you're here?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Tonight will be the night. I do not wish to have any visitors."
"Yes, of course. I'll do what I can."
Shina nodded and turned to Kurama. "You're Kurama right? As in Youko Kurama?"
Kurama's eyes widened slightly, but he nodded. "How did you know that?"
"I've heard of you. Youko's spirit resides within your body, correct?" Again he nodded. "You may want to ask him about a girl named Kagome. There's something you should know." With that she turned and left with Shippou and Kirara.
Yusuke looked at Kurama and asked, "What was she talking about?"
Kurama shrugged. "I have no idea."
Hiei spoke up then. "Ask Youko."
Kurama nodded and asked Youko if he had ever heard of a girl named Kagome.
Kagome? Yes I've heard of her.
'Who is she?'
She is my soon-to-be mate.
'What?!?'
The spirit detectives watched as a shocked expression took over Kurama's face.
"What's wrong Kurama?"
Koenma snickered. "I imagine Youko just told him who Kagome is."
"Who is she?"
"I'll let Kurama tell you that," Koenma said.
"Hey Kurama. Who's that Kagome girl?" Yusuke asked.
Kurama seemed to to snap out of a trance and turned slowly to Yusuke. It took a few tries for his voice to work, but he finally got it out. "She's Youko's soon-to-be mate."
Everyone except Koenma was shocked (even Hiei). Then Kuwabara and Yusuke busted out laughing.
"Kurama, I suggest you go to Higurashi Shrine at midnight tonight. I think you should meet Kagome," Koenma recommended. He looked at the rest of them. "The rest of you should steer clear of the shrine. Shina wouldn't be happy if you showed up."
"Whatever. So why'd you call us here anyway?" Yusuke asked.
"A few lower class youkai have escaped. Go and destroy them."
"Hn."
"Fine."
"Whatever."
Kurama was the only one that didn't say anything. He was still digesting the fact that he was supposed to take a mate.
"Kurama you don't have to go on this one. I'm sure you're still trying to get over the fact that you're engaged."
Kurama nodded then stood up to leave when Koenma called to him again. "Don't forget Kurama. The shrine at midnight."
~*~* The shrine. Five minutes to midnight~*~*
"Kagome are you ready? It's only five minutes until midnight and your grandma should be here any second." As if on cue Genkai walked onto the shrine grounds.
"Grandma!" Kagome ran over and gave Genkai a quick hug and said hello.
"Ah Kagome. You're power is already quite high and you haven't even been transformed yet," Genkai chuckled. She looked over at the well house and noticed the barrier. "I suppose you created that barrier?"
"Uh huh. I did it to keep Inuyasha from interfering," Kagome replied. "Oh, you have to meet my friends!"
Kagome called Sango, Shippou, and Kirara over. "You guys this is my grandma, Genkai. Grandma these are my friends Sango and Kirara and this is my kit, Shippou." They all bowed to each other politely.
"Kagome! It's one minute to midnight! Come here!"
"Coming mom!" Kagome flashed them a quick smile and ran off to join her mother.
The rest of them slowly made their way towards Kagome and her mom. Genkai was the only one who noticed Kurama watching from the Goshinboku. She nodded to him and he nodded back. Genkai motioned for him to come down and he did so. "You're here to meet Kagome aren't you?"
Kurama nodded. "Koenma said that I should since she and Youko are supposed to be mates."
They both rounded the corner to see Kagome bathed in moonlight. Her features were changing. Her midback black hair grew past her waist and turned silver. Her sapphire eyes changed to an icy blue color and she sprouted a silky silver tail. They watched as her nails turned to claws and her teeth turned to fangs. Her ears migrated to the top of her head and changed to the shape of a kitsune's.
They all sat there in awe of the beauty that was before them. Moonlight still streamed through the few trees that were on the grounds. It seemed as if the moon was there just to make her seem like a goddess. Her pale features were highlighted by the moonlight and it looked like she was glowing.
Kurama stopped in his tracks and his mouth flew open. She's beautiful.
'Yes she is.'
She finished her transformation and looked at the faces of her family, Sango, Shippou, Kirara, and Kurama. "Well, how do I look?" They all continued to stare at her. She turned and walked back to the house while muttering, "Fine don't tell me. I'll find out for myself." She slammed the door behind her.
The loud noise snapped everyone out of their daze. Kurama said under his breath, "She's beautiful."
Shina turned towards him. "Maybe we should introduce you two. Oh, and don't expect her to fall for you instantly. You have to be kind to her because if you're harsh she'll fight you tooth and nail."
"You don't have to worry about me. It's Youko you need to watch out for."
