Hello again everyone out there. Thank you for the reviews everyone. 21 all together so far. -dances- That's the most I've ever gotten for 2 chapters...
Also thank you for all of the votes. Ok so all of you Sess/Kag fans out there will be happy to know that that pairing is in the lead. Which will make you Hiei/Kag fans sad. Please be sure to continue voting for pairs.
Also some of you seem a little, uh -dodges flaming torches and flying sporks-, mad at the Sesshomaru/Koenma pairing but don't worry I don't think its going to win. Also a quick note- I allow all pairings BUT Hiei/Yukina- just so everyone knows.

Anyways here's the next chapter...
---
Kurama's green eyes fell to the floor. He could not stand the look within Yusuke's eyes. The look of pathetic sympathy. There he stared at the floor, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. "Because Naraku he... He killed Saikoubi."
Sighing his knees gave out and Kurama slid down the smooth wall until he rested on the floor. "She was like a fresh breath of air."
Kurama's green eyes lost their brightness as he stared out into space. "Whenever her and Youko were together they were inseperateable. She didn't do anything wrong. Just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Dry sobs racked his body again as his eyes clouded over.
Yusuke hung his head for a second. How guilty he felt now. After all it was he who had forced Kurama to tell. "Don't worry Kurama we'll find him and kill him our self. We'll make this cause for Saikoubi. Besides Yukina has had enough cases dedicated to her."

Kagome stayed on the floor clutching the jewel in her right hand. Tears fell steadily down her cheeks and onto her hand. Streaming down her hand they made their way to her legs. Shuddering lightly Kagome pounded the carpeted floor with her fist.
'I just want to wake up soon. Wake up and go to school with Amy, Yuka and Eyri. Please just let me wake up.' Sobbing quietly Kagome stayed on the floor.
A tall figure walked up to the crying Kagome. Bending a knee to the floor a clawed hand reached out for the shaking shoulder. "Hey Kagome, don't cry we'll work through this together."
Turning quickly Kagome flew for the arms behind her. 'The same arms that had held me the night that I'... Kagome shook the memory of that day out of her head "InuYasha! It's too much like that day. The day that I...That I had to. Oh I didn't want to do it but I had too."
InuYasha gently stroked Kagome's smooth black hair. Gently he rocked her and hummed a simple song. The same song she had hummed to Sango that fateful day.
Feeling her strength return Kagome slowly stood and glanced at the half dog demon before her. "Let's find out who's life I get to ruin next. Let's find Naraku's soul and force it to hell." With determined eyes she turned for the kitchen door.
--A shard of The Jewel will be within the body that Naraku takes over. So your jewel should glow when next to the possessed soul. -- Kiede's voice echoed within Kagome's head as she slowly slid the kitchen door open.
Kagome knew that this mission would take a lot of strength for even if it her family was not affected someone else's mother, father, daughter, son, sister, or brother would be. No matter what she would be killing someone that was loved.
Bright lights hit Kagome's puffy eyes as she squinted. There was her mom, Souta and grandpa. Saying a silent prayer she held up her right hand.
Kagome held her breath.
Closing her eyes she opened her hand.
'Do I look?'
She snuck a quick peak but missed her hand.
'Just look then it's over your done. InuYasha can handle the rest of it. Just look!'
Kagome slowly opened her eyes and screamed.
---(A/n- hehe I could be mean and stop here...)
Kurama slowly sipped the tea that Atsuko had made for him.
She had come home with Shiori from the grocery store laden with bags. Atsuko had been the first to see her son with three boys. Two of them, a reddish-orange haired and a black haired, stood in the living room threatening to kill each other. And a red head on the floor crying. Shiori had seen him soon after Atsuko did.
As soon as Atsuko had seen Kurama crying her dormant mothering instincts kicked in. She had helped soothed him until he was calm.
Calm enough to sip the tea that he now held.
Still he refused to tell what had him so broken up.
Sighing Atsuko left him alone with the others. 'At least he seems calm now.' Pleased with herself Atsuko grabbed a large bottle of sake from the shopping bag, "I'm taking a bath have fun guys."
"Yeah, I'll come in in an hour and pull you from under the water." Yusuke muttered under his breath as he watched the retreating back go down the hall.
Shiori sighed and shook her head. The company that she and her son kept had began to make her wonder if they both weren't crazy.
"Shut up shrimp before I kill you."
"Like you could! Go ahead I'll give you the first shot."
"Oh that's it!!"
"Hiei put that sword away. Your going to destroy Kurama's house."
"Yusuke it's Shuuichi here, not Kurama."
Shiori shook her head and pulled out a can of soda. Maybe outside was a good idea. She would just play deaf right now.
Crash!!
Yep outside was good.

Kagome screamed once again... in pure joy. The jewel had not glowed. Her family was safe.
Souta looked at his big sister as though she was crazy. "Hey Sis. I didn't think you would be glad to be home. Especially since you have that huge Algebra test tomorrow."
Ignoring her brother Kagome turned around to tell InuYasha about it.
There at the doorway stood Inuyasha leaning against the doorframe. Shippo sat on his head smiling. While Miroku and Sango stood beside each other. Kilala was on Sango's shoulder. All had the same determined look within their eyes.
Then, and only then, did Kagome realize that no matter what her friends would always be there for her. Excited by this a huge smile replaced the frown that had been in place for a month now.
Running to her friends they all gathered in a group hug. Here, here was where their strength lied.
Kagome's smile disappeared as her left eye brow twitched. Growling she and Sango each slapped one of Miroku's cheeks.
Grumbling under her breath about the "perverted monk" Sango turned and walked away.
Kagome pulled Sango to her room muttering something about how her outfit wouldn't work now. Miroku and InuYasha stood in the hallway wondering what she meant by that.
Twenty minutes later Kagome's door opened and she stood with a huge smile. "Presenting the new Sango!" Stepping to the side she motioned for Sango to step out.
Miroku's jaw fell as he stared at the beauty before him. Sango had on a black lacy shirt with a bright red dragon outlined on the front. She tugged at black jeans while blushing.
"Lady Sango you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." His right hand slowly twitched and went lower until...
"Hentai!!" Sango brought her hand around and slapped Miroku's already bruised cheek.
Sighing Kagome ran for the more clothes. After all if they were going to be living with her they had to look normal.

Hey guys so how did you like it? Um I think this story is going to be a lot of short chapters- so it can stay suspenseful. The next chapter is where they meet the YYH gang so you know...
Sorry for the delay but we went up to the White Mountains for vacation. But hey I did get all of these ideas up there.
NOTE:: Ok just so you know updating may have to slow down starting August 23 for that is when school starts for me. This semester I am taking a lot. I'm taking what is normally taken during 1 and a half semesters (yes I'm in college). But I also have to get B's or better this year so school and tests will have to come first.
