Hello!! How are all my fine readers today? I know it has been a while, but
I just started working for the first time and having to watch 7 year old
twins, a 3 year old girl, and a 3 week old baby. Kinda conflicts with the
writing thing. So sorry!! Anyway, I hope you like this. It took long enough
to think of the idea behind this chappie!! So enjoy!! 15 PAGES!! It's a
record!! Forgive me if some of the stuff in here isn't completely accurate.
Disclaimer: Yup, I own Inuyasha. Well, maybe just Sesshomaru. Ok, just the poster Rini-chan got me for my b-day. So, no I still don't own him.

Chapter 3
Kagome, Yuki, and Sango had come back from their little excursion. Yuki had seen everything from the well to the other side of the village. They were all in Kaede's hut, waiting for Kagome to finish their supper. Inuyasha had been unusually quiet, and Miroku was constantly smirking at him. As soon as Yuki met Kaede, the old miko had called her to the back room to see how her abilities had advanced. All afternoon the groups had heard strange noises, and frankly, were getting worried. They were relived when Kagome got through cooking.
"Yuki, Kaede! Dinner's ready." Kagome yelled.
The girl and older miko walked out of the room. Yuki was panting and a thin sheet of sweat covered her brow.
"What have ya'll been doing?" asked Inuyasha.
"The girl's powers far more advanced than I first thought. It's quite remarkable. She could be a great help to ye." said Kaede.
"Why are you so tired though, Yuki?" asked Kagome.
Yuki walked over and sat next to her, stretching out in Kagome's lap.
"I'll show you later. Can I sleep?" asked Yuki.
"Why is it always later? I want to see now!!" whined Inuyasha.
"Yeah, but, aren't you hungry?" asked Kagome, ignoring Inuyasha and handing her a bowl.
"Nah, keep it warm for me." She walked over to a random futon and literally fell on it.
"What did you do to her, Lady Kaede?" asked Miroku
"I simply asked her to perform a few things. She exceeded in the small items, but when I would ask her to do something large, she lost concentration and disintegrated it. It takes a lot of energy to do that, and a lot of raw power. I wouldn't want to see her mad."
"Wow! Can I do that stuff too? Will you show me?" asked Kagome, thoroughly excited.
"Aye, I could, but ye should ask Yuki if she will show ye." said Kaede
"Yes, ask her." said Miroku, "I'm quite interested to see just how strong she is."
"Ok, in the morning we will, but let's eat and go to bed. The sooner we sleep, the sooner we wake up." said Kagome
"Good idea." said Inuyasha, turning to Kaede, "What exactly did Yuki destroy?"
"My bed." she replied, seemingly indifferent.
"Yes, about that......" said Yuki, getting out of the bed and joining them, "I'm really sorry!!! I didn't mean to! I was just bored and couldn't think."
"You were bored?" asked Inuyasha
"Yes, so it's my fault. Where are you gonna sleep now?"
Kaede shrugged and Kagome quickly answered "She can have my bed. Yuki and I will use our sleeping bags."
"Your sleeping bag," said Yuki, "You didn't tell me to bring one!"
"OH! I'm sorry!" said Kagome "I guess my sleeping bag then."
"Both of you in one?" asked Miroku grinning
Sango, in retaliation, smacked him upside the head.
"God you're a hentai!!" said Yuki, "We can unzip it and lie on the floor, and cover up with blankets. It's that simple, and not perverted!" she glared at Miroku, while inching away from him.
"Good idea!" said Kagome "I'll get the blankets."
She stood and went to Kaede's room while Yuki undid her bag.
"Let me help," said Sango, "You still need to eat."
"I don't much care for food," Yuki looked around, then whispered, "Don't tell Kagome, but I can go 5 active days and not need food."
"Sounds like the kind of person we need in this group. Someone that doesn't need to stop for meaningless things." said Inuyasha smirking.
"Nope! I still need to sleep and bathe! Speaking of which, is there a place where you can take a bath?"
"Yeah, there is some hot springs that way." Sango pointed in the direction.
"Ok," said Yuki as Kagome walked back in the room "Kag-sempai, can we go to the hot springs later?"
"Sure, in the morning." she answered, patting the blankets on the bag, "Ok, beds ready, lets sleep."
"Hey, where's that sweet little furball Shippo?" Yuki asked.
"Staying with some other village kids, he has been for awhile now."
"Oh, ok." she said disappointed "Well, I'm tired, oyasumi everyone!"
"Oyasumi." they all replied and followed her to bed.
(Time change)
'3 hours' Kagome thought 'It's been 3 hours and I still can't sleep!'
As if sensing her distress Yuki's eyes fluttered open. 'Kag-chan, you ok?' she asked without moving her lips.
'Yes, insomnia just struck.' replied Kagome
She thought back, remembering this was how they used to talk.
'Do you want to go to the springs now?'
'That sounds good. Did you want Sango to come?'
Yuki nodded, 'You get the stuff, I'll wake her.'
Kagome made her way to the bags and proceeded to take the needed items out. Yuki crept over to where Sango lay, avoiding the twitching hand of the lecherous monk and the bushy tails of the fire cat.(It's Kilala, the cat is Kilala, Adaly.)
'Sango, hey, Sango!' she mentally screamed
"Hmm..." Sango mumbled, silenced by Yuki's hand
'Talk with your mind.' said Yuki
'Like this?' she asked
'Yes, good. Now do you want to go to the hot springs with me and Kagome?'
'Uh, yeah, Let me get my stuff.' she said, moving to her small bag. They gathered their things and headed out the door. It took them a grand total of about ten minutes to get to the springs.
"Wow!" exclaimed Yuki, "You can feel the heat from here!"
"Yes it's really warm," said Kagome, "So be careful!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." she said taking off her shirt. The other 2 proceeded to unclothe as well. They all entered the springs at once, due to the cold night air.
"Oh, wow! This feels great!" said Yuki, leaning back against a rock. Her reply was a groan from both Sango and Kagome.
"So, I've been dying to ask," she started, glancing instinctively at the relaxed girls, "Do you both have something going on with Miroku and Inuyasha?"
"What?!" cried Sango, sliding into the water
"What makes you say that?" asked Kagome, blushing.
"Oh, drop the innocent act. I know you like Inuyasha," she motioned toward Kagome then Sango "And you like Miroku."
"Well yeah, a little." said Sango blushing "But he's such a hentai! Always groping other girls and stuff!"
"Do you think he does that to make you jealous?" asked Yuki, "Maybe he's just trying to get your attention."
Sango thought for a moment "Perhaps...." she trailed off
"And about you 'hating' Inuyasha" she glanced at Kagome,
"Ever hear of 'affection through aggression'?"
"Yeah, but he is always mean!" cried Kagome defensively.
"Oh really? He seemed pretty nice when we were at your house. Or is that his 'being mean'?" she asked raising her eyebrow. Kagome blushed
"Well, maybe. He used to hate me when we first met. I guess he has come a long way."
"Seems so." Yuki said chuckling
"What about you?" asked Sango "Anyone in your life?"
"I wish," Yuki chuckled "But where I come from, having....ahem, superpowers isn't natural and people hate me for it. So, I don't even have any friends, much less admirers."
"That's sad, Yuki." said Kagome, sorrow shown plainly in her eyes
"Yeah. Some humans can be cruel. I would honestly prefer Inuyasha and Shippo's company over theirs any day." laughed Yuki.
"You really mean that? Humans aren't that bad," said Kagome, "Remember the phrase I taught you: It's the human condition that sets us apart, everyone has a story that will break your heart (I have no idea who wrote that, but I got it when I downloaded one of my pics. If you know the author, please let me know so I can give appropriate credit!!). You shouldn't think like that."
"Live my life, Kagome. Everyone knows what I am. They see me as a freak of nature, although I am one of the purest and strongest things they will ever see!! At least no one knows what you are!!" cried Yuki.
"Calm down, we are not saying you haven't had it rough, "said Sango,"But we have gone through tough times too. I have to save my brother and Kagome has to protect the jewel EVERY youkai wants."
"I know, it's just.....it's different, ya know, living in the modern times. Not only do you have everyone shunning you, you have the government watching you, making sure you don't set a foot out of line or they will threaten to come and put you in a research facility."
"What is a 'research facility'?" asked Sango.
"It's a place were the government locks you up, and watches you, studies you and you can't ever leave. You stay there till you die or get killed" said Yuki.
"You've been threatened with that? Why?" asked Kagome
"When I was younger, about 11, I was out on the street coming home from school, when these older boys surrounded me. They started to push me around and say mean, nasty things, and it scared me. Before I knew it, all of the boys were stuck in tree branches. Everyone on the street stared at me. Some were confused; others scared, and most looked disgusted. I ran home, not even stopping to get my books. I got home and told my parents. The story and my picture were all over the news. My parents were absolutely terrified for me. Later that night, some guys from the FBI came to our house and told us to go with them. They took us to a building where mom and dad met with some people. They told them something and I heard my parents agree to stay under some surveillance. I agreed ,though I didn't under stand, and we went home. It was going ok till my parents died. I didn't know how to deal with this so I called your mom to tell what happened and that I needed to stay with you. She agreed. So, you see, coming here actually helped. I can't go back to our time, Kagome, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
"Yuki, what have you done......You put yourself at risk for coming here!!" yelled Kagome
"I think I am safe. They have no idea I'm here. Besides, I explained what happened to your mom last night. She will cover for us. You and your family are safe, but I'm afraid I'm staying here from now on."
"But why? How did you know you could stay here? How did you know this was a good place to hide?" asked Sango.
"I read it on Kagome when I got to her house." Said Yuki.
"How is this a good place to hide? What about the demons?" asked Kagome.
"Hello? Miko powers. Any demon that wants to tangle with me gets his ass purified. And, since I'm psychic, it intensifies my chances of living." Yuki explained.
"Glad you see it that way.......even if it is crazy" said Kagome, then added, "I thought you said my miko gene activated before yours. So why do you have so much more control than I do?"
"I dunno, my dad thought it was a good idea to learn about my miko abilities shortly after the incident." Yuki said, grabbing the soap, "My gene did activate a year after yours did, which was about 2 years ago for me."
"Oh, I see, so that is the reason you have more control. I thought I was just slow." said Kagome, "Let's hurry and finish up. We wouldn't want the guys sneaking up on us and spying."
"I can see where Miroku would do that, but Inuyasha?" asked Yuki.
"He has been known to......not often though." Sango answered.
"Ok, then, now that I am really paranoid, let's get going!!" said Yuki.
"Whatsss the russsh?" asked a new voice, "Sssstay and play awhile."
A huge snake youkai emerged from the forest, at least 50 feet long with black scales and red eyes. The girls all jumped up. Sango reached for her weapon, but to her dismay, she remembered she left it at the hut.
"You know," Yuki said, standing up and getting out of the spring, water running off her nude form, "It's rude to sneak up on helpless girls while they bathe."
"Aww," replied the youkai, "I sssshall remember that next time. I wassss hoping for girlssss tonight, but who would have thought I would get to eat 3 asssss lovely asssss you. I bet you tasssste sssweet!"
"One way to find out," said Yuki, looking closer, "Kagome, what is that light in its back?" she asked, not taking her eyes off the youkai.
"It's a jewel shard. We have to get it from him!!" she yelled.
Yuki smirked, "This'll be fun. Your really ugly."
"Why you.......DIE!!!" said the snake as he lunged. The snake lunged, and Yuki dodged, at the same time she threw up a barrier that stunned him. She then grabbed the snake by the nose, closed her eyes, and a bright light emanated from her hands. The youkai reared up with Yuki still on his nose, shrieking in pain as the heated energy surged through its body. It lashed its tail and snapped its jaws, with Yuki, now on his head, still concentrating. Then it was gone, just like that, burned to a pile of ashes, the shard lying on top. Yuki walked over and picked it up, looking at it.
"This is all you get after fighting? That's depressing." Yuki said, walking over and handing the shard to Kagome. Both she and Sango had not moved.
"Hello? Earth to Sango & Kagome!! The snake is gone. You can join me anytime."
Kagome stirred first, "H...how did you...?"
"That would be purifying, my dear Kagome." Yuki said, smiling sweetly and shaking her finger, "Before you say anything, you have probably done it before, Kagome."
"But you didn't panic." Sango said, "It was like you knew it was there. I didn't sense it, how did you?"
"I didn't, but I was looking for excitement and I welcomed it when it came." She said, adding, "Can we not tell the boys about this? They would probably not let us bathe alone again."
"Good point," said Sango, "We know we don't need Miroku trying to watch us."
"Yes, lets not. But we need to head back. Other youkai probably felt that and are coming. Let's go." Kagome said as Yuki handed her and Sango a towel. They dried off, got dressed, and set back to the village. Little did they know that the whole scene was being watched by a rather large insect, buzzing in a tree.
(Naraku's castle)
"Very intriguing....." said a deep, evil voice as he looked at the mirror his youngest minion had brought to his attention, "This is definitely a good thing. It would be fun to turn her against Inuyasha. Besides, I could enjoy her as well."
"Lord Naraku," said a venomous female voice behind him, "She is only human. How could you find interest in her?"
He did not answer, he didn't even hear her. He was too deep into staring at the new woman in the mirror. "This will be a good job for him. Kagura, go get our newest member. Tell him I have his new assignment." He said as he traced her slender figure with a clawed finger.
"Yes, Lord Naraku," she said bowing, "Right away"
'She looks strangely familiar, but where from? Oh well, I will find out later. Kukuku (A/N: Is that how he laughs!?), this will indeed be fun. The strange child with golden hair will be mine!!'

"Ok, in the morning we will, but let's eat and go to bed. The sooner we sleep, the sooner we wake up." said Kagome
"Good idea." said Inuyasha, turning to Kaede, "What exactly did Yuki destroy?"
"My bed." she replied, seemingly indifferent.

Kagome stirred first, "H...how did you...?"
"That would be purifying, my dear Kagome." Yuki said, smiling sweetly and shaking her finger, "Before you say anything, you have probably done it before, Kagome."
"But you didn't panic." Sango said, "It was like you knew it was there. I didn't sense it, how did you?"
"I didn't, but I was looking for excitement and I welcomed it when it came." She said, adding, "Can we not tell the boys about this? They would probably not let us bathe alone again."
"Good point," said Sango, "We know we don't need Miroku trying to watch us."
"Yes, lets not. But we need to head back. Other youkai probably felt that and are coming. Let's go." Kagome said as Yuki handed her and Sango a towel. They dried off, got dressed, and set back to the village. Little did they know that the whole scene was being watched by a rather large insect, buzzing in a tree.
(Naraku's castle)
"Very intriguing....." said a deep, evil voice as he looked at the mirror his youngest minion had brought to his attention, "This is definitely a good thing. It would be fun to turn her against Inuyasha. Besides, I could enjoy her as well."
"Lord Naraku," said a venomous female voice behind him, "She is only human. How could you find interest in her?"
He did not answer, he didn't even hear her. He was too deep into staring at the new woman in the mirror. "This will be a good job for him. Kagura, go get our newest member. Tell him I have his new assignment." He said as he traced her slender figure with a clawed finger.
"Yes, Lord Naraku," she said bowing, "Right away"
'She looks strangely familiar, but where from? Oh well, I will find out later. Kukuku (A/N: Is that how he laughs!?), this will indeed be fun. The strange child with golden hair will be mine!!'
