Disclaimer: Hello!!!!! This is fanfiction get a clue. So I don't own anyone from Yu Yu Hakusho or InuYasha, but I do own my OCs that may pop up in my story but no mary sues.
VB: Hmm. It was very close but thanks for giving the real spelling. Thank you also for the review.
DemonSorceress: Sure, you can be my beta, I sent you e-mail, with all extra information.
Katsurinia: I tried to e-mail you but it didn't go through T-T. But how bout I thank you and ask you to send the information to my account (its on my profile). Thank you for being one of the two you gave me a fighter.
Celestial Star6: Thank you that was all I needed for an announcer. I might do a few changes but nothing big. This is going to be a Hiei/Kagome with a little Kurama/Boton on the side, but not match.
A big thank you to all that reviewed but their review didn't reach me in time. Also there were quite a few mistakes in the last chapter I apologize.
Chapter Two
History Lessons
---Hiei's POV---
'Shikon no Tama, impossible. That weak onna doesn't have, it's a lie.'
'Hiei, he could be telling the truth.'
'Hn. Fox, leave.'
"What in all the seven h*lls is the Shikon no Tama, toddler?" Yuske asks softly noticing I suppose the fox's facial expression.
The boy's (Yuske) face was twisted into a bizarre mix of mature interest and naïve confusion.
" The Shikon no Tama, Yuske." The Toddler prince started.
" Was created around 1,000 years ago by a miko warrior named Midoriku before she died.
The jewel contains her soul or a partial amount and the soul of each of the elements and one of the demons allowing the jewel to be used for good or evil.
It passed through many hands over 150 years till it reached the hands of a miko called Kikyo.
The miko was put in charge of the jewel to purify it she guarded for most of her young life.
One time a hanyou named InuYasha came and tried to steal the jewel from her, he failed and she didn't kill, this continued for some time.
Finally they admit that they held some affection for each other.
Kikyo told InuYasha she would give him the jewel so that he could make a wish and that the jewel would disappear and she would be a normal woman.
The next day, the miko stumbled into her burning village halfway dead, the hanyou, had done this to her and had successfully stolen the jewel. Before he could make a wish Kikyo shot him with an enchanted arrow.
After InuYasha was sealed, the miko told the villagers to burn the cursed stone with her, she died moments after she gave those orders. And the jewel disappeared for 550 years."
"The story doesn't end there, either. Fifty years later, a girl appeared and freed InuYasha, because of her likeness to the deceased miko and that she carried the Shikon no Tama in her body, the people of that era believed her to be the reincarnation of Kikyo.
Once a demon stole the jewel from the girl, she used an arrow to kill the demon but along with it she shattered the jewel.
The story goes on to tell that InuYasha and Kikyo didn't betray another, a hanyou named Naraku caused them to do what they did. Kikyo had been brought back to life brought back to life and was living off of a tiny piece of the girl's soul as well as the souls of dead women.
During their adventures, they meet a kitsune, a monk, and a demon exterminator. They helped to find the Shikon no Tama shards, for each of them had a score to settle with Naraku who was collecting the shards as well.
Before the final battle, InuYasha chose his dead love over girl and tried to kill her. The girl in turn had to protect herself so she ended up killing InuYasha and Kikyo, thus getting the rest of her soul back.
During the final battle, the monk and the demon exterminator died before killing Naraku but they took out the youkai army he had protecting him. The girl was so distraught over the loss of her companions she went into a "miko rage", finishing the battle with the hanyou, Naraku and completing the Shikon no Tama.
The girl and the young kitsune, who had also survived the battle, disappeared soon after. The girl was Kagome and the kitsune, is her adopted son." Koenma said finishing the tale.
"Excuse me, sir, but how could she have survived for 550 years?" The bubbly cheerful deity of death asked, her interests have been sparked.
"She didn't, before anyone interrupts, she used an old well as a means of time travel, we didn't do anything because in the files it said this all happened in the feudal era." Koenma stated with a finality that spoke death to all that opposed his decree.
" Oh, and be here tomorrow ready for the Dark Tournament, make sure all of you a pairs of cloths, multiple pairs."
---Kagome's POV---
'How dare he attempt to harm me!!!'
I threw clothes with more vigor into the duffel I was packing for about month, I had about twelve different Chinese fighting outfits.
All of them ranging from black to silver with only blue, purple, green, and blood red in between.
I had packed eighteen pair of pajamas as well; ditto the colors of my fighting outfits, all of my pajamas consisted of a tank top and size large cotton pants. I also packed a make-up kit, hey emergencies happen.
By the time I finished packing the duffel looked about to burst its seams and throw my hard packed clothing around the room. Seeing, as I'm finished I look out the window into the shrine's courtyard and see Shippo and Souta, playing of all things basketball.
It's amazing, only four months ago, he didn't know a thing about technology and sports but he's learned so quickly it makes me proud to be his Okasan.
'I had my doubts but.' Shippo noticed me watching him and Souta play. He flashed me the second biggest smile I had ever seen from him.
=== Flashback ===
Shippo and I were lying on the grass watching the stars that night. Every now and then, we would whisper out what we thought a certain constellation looked like.
I noticed a while ago that Shippo normally carefree face became mature and serious, just like mine had become as of late. I decided right then and there it didn't look good on him and vowed to rid him of that look.
"Shippo-chan what are thinking about?" I asked softly in the motherly tone I had adopted whenever it came to Shippo.
"It's nothing." His voice belied the fact it was something a big something to get him this sad and pensive.
"Shippo-chan, you can tell what ever it is it can't be that bad, right?" I persuaded to tell me just like my Okasan did to me when I didn't want to tell something.
I watch as Shippo takes a deep breath, to steady him, I suppose and get his thoughts into order.
"KagomewillyoubemyOkasanbecauseyou'vebeenlikemykaasansincethebeginingandcany oumakeitofficial?
Eversincemykaasandiedyou'vebeenmykaasansopleasecanicallyoukaasanandyouadoptm e? Please?"
He said that all in one breath. I could barely contain myself, I was crying, laughing, and smiling all at the same time.
(For those who don't read Shippo here is what he said: "Kagome will you be my Okasan because you've been like my kaasan since the beginning and can you make it official? Ever since my kaasan died you've been like my Okasan so please can I call you kaasan and can you adopt me? Please?")
"Yes Shippo, I'll be your Okasan."
=== End of Flashback ===
I was so happy then and still I'm about that night because when I became his Okasan I got full control over him. That is the only reason he is alive today.
'That I think was the only time Shippo hated me for being his Okasan.'
=== Flashback ===
" Okasan, when are we leaving?" He asked his childlike innocence shined more than ever now.
I wonder how children can keep their innocence when they have seen such hardships but have chalked it up to be one of the mysteries of life.
" Sango, Miroku and I are leaving tomorrow at dawn but you little one are staying her with Keade until we came back." I state softly but firmly.
"But." He starts and I don't let him finish.
"Shippo this will be very dangerous, maybe if InuYasha hadn't of betrayed I would have brought then I could maintain all my attention you but now I can't.
There's only three of us and with the youkai army he will have amassed we can't afford distractions. I'm sorry Shippo but you are staying. End of Discussion."
=== End of Flashback ===
'I'm probably going to have another discussion like when I tell everyone what's going on.'
Preparing myself for the worst I swing my duffel onto my shoulder not even concerned about it's weight. I leave my room looking at it carefully before shutting the door; it could be the last time I ever see it.
I calmly walk down the stairs to see that Souta and Shippo had migrated to the X-box, Ji-san was watching them with a small smile on his face, and Momma was in the kitchen.
"Everyone, come into the living room if you're not already here please." I ask not raising my voice above a whisper but knowing everyone will hear me.
I watch as Shippo and Souta shut off the X-box and situate them-selves on the couch the Ji-san occupied, as well as Momma coming into the room and sitting in her chair in the center of the room.
" I'm going to be leaving for about two months for the Dark Tournament, the second one for this generation. Before anyone asks the Dark Tournament decides the fate of the Niginkai, our world." I look at each of them waiting for some kind of response.
" Sweetheart, if this Dark Tournament is THAT important and you have to go, you have my permission and all of our blessings." Momma said with a soft smile, but then her face turned dark. " You had better come home after this unscathed because if you die, I will personally find a way to bring you back from the dead."
'Okay, Not the best ending but oh well.'
"Okasan, I'm coming with you this time you won't go alone." Shippo with voice had a tone of determination and his face mirrored his voice.
'He has gotten stronger but I'm not willing to risk his life.'
"No"
He doesn't try to argue with me for which I'm thankful.
'Oh great. I look into his face. Puppy dog eyes. Must resist. Must resist. Damn, he's adding tears.'
"Fine. I say with of sigh. " You can come."

Nest Chapter Preview:
'I'm gonna die.'
I watch the spirit attack coming strait at me. In some part of my mind I hear my Okasan scream, something she hasn't done before.
A/N: The offer of putting yourself in the fic is still open send in the same information I asked for last chapter. The next Chapter will be out soon. For I fear the wrath of readers, since I posted that Chapter preview I wonder what's going to happen. Sadly I won't post until the story's review count is eleven.
So Please Review.
