Chapter Three
Personalities Clash
---Shippo's POV---
'Kaasan looks tense. I hope this wasn't a bad idea.'
"Shippo, don't think like that." Okasan says.
'Opps.'
" I'm going to go through the portal first into the Reikai because they aren't expecting you to be with me."
"Ok."
---Kagome's POV---
I summon up a portal to the Reikai; again the color is red with black swirls.
When I walk through the portal I see a slight blurring of colors than, I land in the little prince's office.
Calmly looking around I see that the Spirit Detectives have already arrived and were lounging before I appeared.
" My son is going to come along and if you've any problems with it keep silent."
' Shippo come through the portal now'
' Hai. Okasan'
The portal glows slightly and closes when Shippo comes through the portal.
He didn't cower behind my leg when all the eyes in the room turned to him and for that I'm proud.
---Shippo's POV---
When Kaasan told me to come through the portal I was relieved, I had considered that as soon as she was through she would close the portal and leave me at home.
' I hate going through portals, they make me sick.'
After I reached the other side, I moved forward next to Okasan, because her aura and scent radiated the reassurance that I craved write now.
As soon as I was perfectly situated, all the eyes in the room turned towards me. I had to smirk at the reactions and looks on they're faces.
'Kaasan you told them you were bringing without giving them time to speak, didn't you.'
'Shippo, my son. You know me too well.'
" I'm not going to sprout a second head or do tricks so stop staring."
" Twerp, don't you have any respect?" The one with gelled hair growled out at me.
" Not unless you've proven you deserve respect." I reply not looking at him but sizing up the others in the room.
I feel everyone has strong spiritual energy but not as strong as my Okasan. Even when she has her energy concealed she carries herself in a way that tells people she's strong.
I feel the guy begin to power a spirit attack.
"Yuske! What do you think you're doing! Stop!" The blue-haired lady said whom everyone except the short one in black and my Kaasan echoed.
'I guess the a group effort is more effective than people give credit for'
After the command for him to stop he dropped the energy he was collecting.
" Spirit Detectives, this is my son, Shippo. Shippo these people are the Spirit Detectives." (Three guesses who that was, the first two don't count)
"You should teach your son manners, B*tch." Yuske said snidely.
Before Okasan or anyone else can react, I'm at his throat trying to kill him.
'How dare he speak to my Kaasan like that. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TALK TO HER LIKE THAT'
The hanyou was shocked when my attack came at first but he quickly regained his composure and retaliated by throwing wild punches at me.
As I dodge the infantile punches, I throw foxfire at him.
I don't use stronger attacks on him because I enjoy taunting the hanyou by temporarily blinding him and giving him small burns.
' This is more fun than when I teased InuYasha'
"You're too slow." I add verbally to my taunting of the Spirit Detective. I suppose that barb went too far because he drew a single finger up and curled his fingers in to form a gun.
" Spirit Gun." He shouts after a small ball of spirit energy accumulated on the tip of his forefinger.
'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 since she mastered her powers.
I feel guilty I'm gonna die and she'll be alone.
A blur passes before my eyes as arms wrap around me and lift me up.
When the blurring is gone, I find my self on the other side of the room standing next to the Short One.
'Hn. Do all foxes get into this much trouble?'
'No. I was just attacking him because he insulted my mother. Thanks for saving me um.'
'Hiei, brat.'
'Thank you, Hiei-sama'
Seconds after our telepathic conversation, my Okasan is kneeling next to me and hugging the life out of me while letting a few tears slide down her face, muttering something about stupidity and punishments.
To say I'm shocked is an understatement. Kaasan never shows weakness like this in public and barely ever in private.
'Shippo Higurashi, I have never almost had you nearly die since I adopt you.'
'Sorry, Okasan.'
'It's okay.'
"Thank you, Hiei." She says with a bit of warmth but a lot of gratitude in her voice.
She stands up hafting me up on her black clad hip with her arm around my middle to keep me in place. Turning around, her face losing its gratitude and a cold angry one appears replaces it.
Walking over to the hanyou, Yuske, she lets her concealment spell drop. Her power washing over the inhabitants of the room, nearly choking them with it's intensity.
She comes to a stop in front of him and pulls back her arm and slaps him as hard as she could without killing him or knocking him unconscious. The strike sent him across the room.
"If you ever attempt to do anything that resembles an attack to my son. I will kill you." She says it so coldly and with a glare so deadly that the Kuro-Kami would have stopped doing what ever he was doing.
Her stance reminded me of a youkai mother protecting its young. She watches Yuske get up with a hard stare and moves towards him again to again slap him.
"Why don't we leave." The blue-haired lady shouted out protecting her friend from an early death, again. While she said this her hands were already weaving the spell to open a portal to their destination. Instead of the portal being red and black like Okasan's, its blue with silver swirls in it.
Kaasan stops in her tracks and turns around to face the ladies portal. Her and my duffels float across the room to land at our feet. Slowly as if she's afraid that she lets go I'll disappear she places on my feet on the carpeted floor.
She leans down and picks up her bag giving me the look I'm to follow her lead. I sigh but do the same. Okasan walked like sovereign to the portal and through. I do the same but before I pass through the portal I look into Yuske eyes.
" She isn't lying she will kill you. But if you speak to her like that again I will make you wish she had killed you."
With those parting words, I join my mother at the other end of the portal.
---Kagome's POV---
After I step out of the portal, I take a deep breath to ground myself and to cleanse my mind. Shippo comes out of the portal behind me followed soon be the Reikai Tentai.
'Shippo, why did you do that?'
'Kaasan, I don't like it when people call you that. After all you're not a female inu youkai.'
' No I'm not. And Hiei this is a private conversation please leave or add your two cents in. Shippo we will continue this conversation later.'
I feel my son's presence and Hiei's leave my mind.
I did not ask where the Dark Tournament would be held. But seeing the landscape, I wish I had.
We were in the Ice Realm. Of all places why did it have to be the Ice Realm, nothing Shippo or I packed will be suitable for the weather here.
"Lady Death, I presume you know where we are. So could you kindly lead us the to hotel or are we to stand here gaping at the scenery and freeze to death, excluding Hiei of course."
"O-o-of course," Boton answered her teeth chattering almost as bad as mine would be if I let it show. "Follow me."
She leads the where to a cave I saw in the distance earlier.
'Nice. We will freeze slower in there than out here.'
'Hn. Onna, you are a miko are you not. Can't you feel the aura in there; the hotel we are staying at is in the cave or under it.'
'Thank you. I wasn't looking for that.'
When we entered the cave I made a quick decision, which was the lobby of the hotel.
Carry Shippo. The youkai in this place didn't look to kind and I wouldn't risk his life again. I move closer to my son and quickly swoop and scoop him up and hold tightly to my side while sifting my bag on my shoulder and adding his.
" Please, Miss Boton could you tell us which rooms are our ours, so that we may get situated." Kurama asked Lady Death. The poor girl blushed and I had to fight the urge to smirk it was so obvious that they liked each other.
"Oh, um, we have rooms 312 and 313. But one room is for the fighters and the other is for the adviser(s)." She said the last part so quickly that if I wasn't used to Shippo on sugar high talking I wouldn't have understood. During this quick confession she held out two keys.
" Wait a second we can't share with a girl. It's against the code of honor." The idiot said.
"Shut up. It doesn't bother me, because no one will come with in two feet of me after lights out in that room." I voice darkly; my eyes carry a glint that spoke volumes.
Without adding anything less I reach out and grab the key that says 313 and walk to the elevator my hand going to the 3 floor or -3 considering all the rooms were underground. After all there are one hundred rooms per floor so I just have to go to the -3 floor.
The group follows me understanding I'm in no mood to wait for them to get to the rooms and to go to the bed considering instead of leaving in the morning we left at nine p.m.
When the door to the elevator opened on our floor I surveyed the numerical system. We had to go the right to get to our rooms. So I walked at a brisk pace to room 313 and unlocked the door, leaving it open for the boys.
They entered a moment after me but realized the same thing as me: there was only one bed.
Oh there were three couches and two easy chairs but only one bed.
I look at Kurama, Yuske, and Kuwabaka, I had already asked Hiei if he wanted the bed but he declined saying he would sleep on a chair.
" The bed is MINE." I hope they understood right then and there that I wouldn't give up that bed without a fight. They looked at me towards the bed and backed away from me closer to the couches and start placing there stuff around the room. I smirk; I have the feeling someone has these boys wrapped. And by 'someone', I mean a girl.
" Goodnight." I say, with my back turned and my voice even softer than usual. Shippo had fallen asleep on the way to the room and I had no want to wake him up. Once I was in the bedroom I shut the door separating the boys and I for the night.
I lie Shippo on the bed after I had pulled the comforter and sheets back and tuck him in. Smiling softly I kiss his forehead and ruffle his hair gently.
I look around the room conducting a search and inventory of the room. A bathroom, thank Kami, a bathroom, a private bathroom. That will come in handy. A closest, I can hang up all the clothes tomorrow.
Grabbing my duffel, I open it and grab a pair of Midnight blue silk pajama bottoms and a black cotton tank top. I go into the bathroom and change; I flick the lights in the room out and walking the bed. Lying nest to Shippo, I feel him move closer to me and nuzzle my next.
Soon I fall asleep, my face becoming unguarded as I leave conscious behind,
/// Dream ///
" Hello, Kagome-chan." An older woman greets me.
" Hey, Midoriku-sama, I thought you said my training was over."
" Yes. It is but I have three gifts for you. The first is a sword; the sword is different because no man can wield but a woman can call upon its powers without fear. The sword is called Kiro.
The second is a neko youkai kitten, she is similar to Kirara but is different because is a Ice neko.
The third and final gift is the power to call on the four elemental dragons. Nira, the water dragon, Tenshi, the air dragon, Hiko, the fire dragon, and Serku, the earth dragon."
" Thank you Midoriku-sama."
" Your welcome Kagome but get some rest, after all you do start preliminaries tomorrow."

Chapter Preview:
The Preliminaries are starting. The Urameshi team must beat five teams before they are able to pass to the next round. What's this Naraku's here but how?
A/N: This chapter sucked. It was supposed to have the first prelim in it but I decided against I did this. There is a bit of Kagome and Hiei interaction. The offer of OC fighters or self-insertion is still open. Those who already sent in characters, they will not appear until the final fights.
