Hello, and welcome back! Please note: I have no clue why, but this chapter took me days to write, and I had to keep editing it over and over. I still don't like it, but it's your choice...

Chapter 7:Lord of Spirit World

"Botan here, with some people to see Koenma."

The threesome stood in front of Spirit World's overly large gates. Both Kagome and Inuyasha felt like they were about to be crushed when the building fell on them, and the hanyou wanted to take out his Tetsusaiga and kill the first thing that moved. 'Sesshomaru would love to take over this place,' he thought. 'It's all covered in gold and gems. Not like he's ever going to see the place, though. He's going straight to--"

His thoughts were cut off, as the Grim Reaper grabbed the two of them by their wrists, and dragged them off, through the hall.

"Hey, Botan," the miko said quietly, her voice echoing to hundreds of times its normal loudness. "You told us that you were taking us to see your boss. If not here, where is he?"

Inuyasha was too stunned to speak. After gazing at the large outer exterior, he didn't think that it could be any bigger. The statues were too large, the grayish color too gray, and he couldn't smell anything but his, Kagome's, and Botan's scent (which was starting to annoy him, the smell was just too strange!). He didn't have any clue where they were, although the Grim Reaper had explained it on the way here that they were going to Spirit World to see her boss, Koenma.

"Oh, don't worry. He's just behind all the working ogres, demons, etc., in an office. Hmm, I wonder if Jorge got all the paperwork and files to him..." She noticed at the same time Kagome did that the hanyou was starting to draw his sword. "Inuyasha, don't do that..."

"SIT!" Kagome said. He crashed into the floor, but not as hard as he usually did. The sound of the bang echoed through the hall, along with the word, hurting both his neck and his delicate ears. "You shouldn't do that here," she scolded.

"None of the bad demons are loose. They're all in jail," Botan explained, flipping her blue hair as she opened another set of doors. "This will take us directly to Lord Koenma. We don't have to go through the workroom."

An ogre rushed out of the open doors, running as fast as he could. "Botan, I'm so glad you're here. Koenma is..."

"OVERWORKED!" a young, mostly annoyed and furious voice screamed at them from behind the desk. "TOO MUCH STUPID ANNOYING PAPERWORK GETTING PILED UP KNOCKED OVER, NEVER WORKING OUT RIGHT, ALWAYS HAVING TO GET STAMPED, Y'KNOW WHAT? YUSUKE WOULD DO A BETTER JOB AT THIS THAN MOST OF THESE INCOMPETANT FOOLS AROUND HERE!"

The four stood, cowering, behind the door from the ruler of Spirit World. Botan and Inuyasha both peered around the door, making sure that the coast was clear. 'He's scarier than most demons I've faced,' he thought. 'But wait...'

He looked carefully at the person behind the desk, whom to Botan was bowing deeply. "That's a little kid! Kagome, you can come out now. Nothing to be scared of." The hanyou still shook slightly, holding the scabbard of the Tetsusaiga with white-knuckled hands.

"Oh, he's cute!" Kagome said, walking up to Koenma. "This is the ruler of Spirit World?"

Botan nodded. Koenma looked at the two newcomers, and said, "At least they're not as bad as Yusuke was."

"Who the HELL is the 'Yusuke' person you're always talking about?" Inuyasha yelled loudly. He would have continued to carry on, but Kagome said "SIT!" as loudly as she could, slamming him into the ground.

"To answer that question," the ruler of Spirit World said, "you could just look over there." He pointed to a mirror, in which a VCR and a DVD player was hooked up to. Pressing PLAY, he said, "In short, he's the Spirit Detective for Earth at this time."

The hanyou got up. "Feh. What's that got to do with us?" He spat out pieces of the floor that had wound up in his mouth when he had been 'sat'.

"Not much," said Botan. "Other than the fact that he and his friends think that I'm training Kagome to be a new Spirit Detective, and are going to try and fight her."

The miko and hanyou were both very surprised at this. Humans were almost never strong in powers like Kagome or Miroku, and most lacked the stamina of demons.

"So," Koenma said to break the silence, "you two can either go down the well, and stay there for a while, or I could open the wormhole a bit more, and let Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara through as they wish. But they can only go through and back once. So choose the time carefully. Also, if they want, I can let Yusuke Urameshi and his friends Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara into the middle ages, but the same rules apply to them."

The miko's eyes lit up. "We can bring them here?"

"Not for too long," Inuyasha said. "We don't want that monk around a mass group of girls."

Hmm... not sure what to do with this... and, for the readers, a mostly long chapter! ::smiles:: Don't forget to R 'n' R!
