~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter 3

" Yes I am but aren't you one? " He asked, his ice blue eye's looking curiously at her.

The girl didn't answer, except, she just as to what looks like it, kept her excitement in her as

she looked at herself then back at Hatake, who had one of is brows raised.

The girl just straightened herself and looked at him with happy delighted eyes.

" I'm Kagome Higurashi. And by the looks of it, your a Yomi Gake? " She said and asked

( Pronounced : Yomi, Gake= like Gah-keh )

as she held out a hand for him to take, which he gladly shook with curiousness.

" How did you know I was from that clan? " He asked, mentally smiling.

" Not to brag but I know everything about ninja's. " She said. By now, they were walking to

the upcoming village and Hatake led her to Kaede's hut as they talked about stuff.

People stared at her as she and Hatake passed them, but she didn't paid attention to them,

instead she paid attention to where she was going and to she was talking to.

They entered a hut, a slightly big one. Hatake entered first and Kagome followed suite.

Inside was an angry Inu hanyou glaring at the fire in the middle of the wooden hut, the monk,

the unconcious taijiya, and an old woman in miko garbs who Kagome immediately bowed to in

respect. And the once uncertain face of the old miko was graced with a smile.

" Come one child, sit around the warm fire. And tell us why are ye lost. " She said.

Kagome just smiled and seated beside Hatake and away from the monk.

As Hatake had told her, the monk was a pervert.

" Um, my name is Higurashi Kagome and I came from the Future. " She said then stopped at

the 4 curious faces looked intently at her, she took a deep breath and continued.

She told the story and all the while, the hanyou was snorting at some parts.

" So child, you can stay in here as long as you want. I am Kaede the village miko, that is

Inuyasha, the one there is Miroku, he is Hatake and the young lady is Sango. "

" Thank you Kaede. I'm going to leave once I find out how. " Kagome said.

' Not with my jewel you wont. ' Inuyasha thought as he closed his eyes.

" Oh and Miroku, I'm sorry for the hostage thing. " She apologised.

He just waved it off, with a smile. A slightly playful smile.

Then, at night, Kaede had given them some stew for dinner.

After that, Kagome went to sleep with her barrier around her and senses closed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Reikai ( About 4:30 pm )

Koenma was stamping his papers when the whole spirit detective team arrived.

" Why are we here Koenma? " Kurama asked.

" Yeah ! I was going to ask Kagome out but nooo...you had to ruin it did you? " Yusuke asked

his every word dripping with sarcasm. Hiei looked at him as if he was insane or something.

" Shut up Yusuke. You'll get dumped anyway ( he murmured ) besides, I want you all to attend

the dark tournament but the problem is your 5th player but we can always get Genkai to be it

so- " Koenma didn't finish cause he was cut-off by the least person expected.

" I think I know someone Koenma. " Kurama stated...or maybe more like Youko.

The normal emerald colored eyes of Shuichi Minamino was molten gold.

" Hey ! You're not Kurama ! " Kuwabara blurted out, pointing an accusing finger at his eyes.

" Youko? You recommend someone? " Koenma asked, arching his right eyebrow.

" Yes. Her name is Kagome Higurashi. " He stated. The two humans mouth hung open.

" Her? " Koenma repeated.

" Yes. She's a modern day miko...who happens to wants to be a ninja. " He explained.

" Miko? She still believes in Youkai? " Koenma asked.

" Yes. She identified me when I...I mean when Shuichi was invited to her home. "

" Then..if you recommend then I give her permission to be in the dark tournament but

Kurama and the others will still be training at Genkai's temple and as well as Kagome. "

He stated. And with that, golden eye's were replaced again with emerald and Kurama had a

slightly annoyed and disappointed look in his eyes and Hiei did in fact noticed.

Koenma then explained a few things and then they left.

~*~*~*~*~*

In the middle of the night golden eyes opened.

It landed it's gaze on Kagome. Inuyasha stood up from his sitting position and walked towards

her. But when he was about to touch her and grab the jewel around her neck, he jerked his

hand back only to find it slightly burnt by the invisible barrier around the sleeping figure.

He cursed and went back to where he was sleeping and closed his eyes.

When his breathing was light a pair of dark blue eyes gleaming with amusement opened.

It just darted through out the hut and when it saw that everything was alright, it closed.

With a smile on her feature. Kagome went back to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*

Morning

Kagome awoke to the really loud sound of a * SLAP * then next came some other sounds.

It was about half an hour more before dawn, she opened her eyes to see Miroku unconcious,

Hatake was gone, Inuyasha was too, the only ones left were Kagome and Sango.

" You ! " The older girl yelled, ready to throw the boomerang at Kagome.

" Matte ! I was allowed to stay. " Kagome stated, pointing to Miroku.

The older girl thought for a moment then lowered her boomerang.

" Sorry. I was just suprised. By the way, I'm Sango. " She greeted.

" Hi, I'm Kagome. I'm sorry for knocking you out yesterday, it's just that, Inuyasha wants to

kill first before asking or knowing. " Kagome stated, they both laughed a that.

Kagome told Sango her story and after that Sango told Kagome hers.

They finished for about half an hour, then they went out the hut.

They splitted up, Kagome heading to where she heard a river was, and Sango went to the

village market to buy something to eat. It took her about 2 and a half hours to get to it.

Kagome washed her face with the clear water and she untied her hair from it's already messy

ponytail that she got when she slept with it on. She brushed it neatly and gently, it was straight

and shiny and it fell to her back up to her waist.

After she putted her hair brush inside her back pack, she sat on the edge of the stream,

looking at her reflection, her hand went up to the symbol on her bandana and she smiled.

" Mom and the others must be worried about me...but how do I go back? " Kagome asked

herself in a whisper as she fingered the shikon jewel around her neck.

" I could always try and jump down back the well. But then again, who knows where I might

end up? If I end up in a middle of a war, who knows, the well might get destroyed and it's my

only ticket back home, as well as this jewel. " She told herself.

Slightly sad as the thought of never seeing her family again but her hopes were in hope that

she will definitely get back to the future. She stood up straight and looked to where the wide

and clear water of the river led to, she can't even see. It was so far and she presumed it led to

more of a waterfall than a lake for the river was kind of in a downward position.

" So you went all this way just to wash your face? " An ignorant voice said, as Inuyasha

jumped down the tree he was hiding in, holding a red apple in his left clawed hand.

" It's more than that dog demon. I wanted to see a beautiful sight. " Kagome answered,

knowing that he had been there about half an hour ago, lurking in a tree.

He looked at her curiously when she addressed him as 'dog demon' and she looked at him.

" That's what your name means does it Inuyasha..." Kagome stated as she walked to him and

suddenly held up his right clawed hand by grabbing it with her own, he flinched at the contact.

She held it up at his eye level, Kagome's hand glowed red with miko energy as Inuyasha's

hand glowed to, in a second, his hand was healed from the burn he recieved last night.

" You see, it's not right to steal from people when they're asleep..right Inuyasha? " She

asked, her eye's dancing with amusement as Inuyasha just looked at his hand and 'feh'ed,

looking away. Kagome sat back down, Inuyasha then threw the apple at her, knowing she

would catch it, with her right hand, she did. Without any questions, she bit the apple.

" It's from Sango. She said I bring it to you. " Inuyasha said, sitting on the ground, his back to

the tree indian style, his hands in his sleeves. Kagome smiled in thanks and layed down the

grass near the trees, her eyes closed. Her hair fanned behind her.

" So Inuyasha, do you still have a family? " She asked. Her eye's still closed, she felt him

startled and tensed by what she had asked, a small smile graced her lips, he looked at her and

as the cool breeze blew, some of her hair was being blown slightly to her face..

' Beautiful... ' was what Inuyasha thought before he mentally punched himself.

" What's wrong? " Kagome asked, peeking open one eye to look at him.

Suddenly Inuyasha remembered the question that was asked and answered.

" No. "

" No, as in you don't have a family? " She asked, sitting up.

" No I don't. " He answered quickly, still looking away.

" Not even a brother or a sister? I mean, I can believe that Sango and Miroku don't have a

family anymore because mainly their human but you, your half human and half youkai. Your

youkai family can't be dead that easily, your grandfather should still be alive, and even your

grandfathers father should still be alive.....I can't believe you don't have a family anymore..."

Kagome said in a whisper kind of tone as she looked at the water.

" Half brother. " Inuyasha suddenly said, Kagome looked at him and he looked away.

" Half brother? " Kagome repeated, asking.

" I have a half brother. Sesshoumaru. " Inuyasha finally said, still looking away.

" So that means...you have a step mother/father? " She asked.

" No. Sesshoumaru had a step mother. He's older than me, he's full inu youkai, he's lord of

the western lands, he's cold, uncaring and he hates me like I hate him. " He said.

" Okaaaay. So what? He's Lord of the western lands, that only means that when he dies, your

going to take his place there. And besides, your not the only one who has a pain in the ass

older brother ,I have one too. Though,..I'm not sure he hates me..." Kagome trailed off..

Inuyasha looking at her with a look that says ' you are crazy ' but he didn't say anything, he

just stood up from his spot and looked at his reflection.

" I have never seen a miko use those metal things for purifying. " He said.

Kagome also stood up and she jumped on to a boulder on the other side of the wide river.

" I'm not like other miko's. I don't normally use a bow and arrow for purifying, it's an energy

wasting weapon if you asked me. It's too big and long unlike the shurikens I use. I can

dissolve a youkai to ashes with it but I can only use it for about 5-6 times. It takes up a lot of

Miko energy, and I don't get re-charged if I don' t get some sleep. So in any case that I have

to fight a very strong youkai, I can easily defeat it if I hit it with a shuriken and didn't miss. "

She explained. Inuyasha just ' feh ' ed.

" So do you know where's Hatake? " She asked. She hadn't seen him or felt him close by.

" He probably went to another village again. He always leaves every two days at about dawn,

then when it's about mid-day, he just comes back. " He answered.

" Okay then, let's go Inuyasha. I mean, back to the village. " Kagome said as she stood

straight on top of the boulder, her arms by her side, the wind blew by with a couple of cherry

blossom leaves blowing her hair, while she closed her eyes at the sensation.

Inuyasha on the other hand was staring at the site..and snapped back to reality when Kagome

opened her eyes, he looked away, started walking and Kagome followed.

They arrived at the village,...it was lunch time and sure enough, Hatake was there.

Kagome and Inuyasha was at a hill, she saw Hatake and yelled for him while waving.

Hatake just stared at the sight, he saw the same one Inuyasha did when Kagome was standing

on the boulder except she was on a hill. When he got his senses back, he smiled.

Kagome jumped down followed by Inuyasha. They headed for Kaede's hut and ate lunch.

The rest of their day was spending some time together, with laughs and smacks and screams

of Hentai courtesy of Sango and one from Kagome.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

All students from Sarayashiki High had been dismissed, 4 students were absent.

On the other hand, in an all girls school our favorite spirit detectives were waiting for

someone in particular for the name of Kagome Higurashi.

Kurama was wearing a black jacket with a hood that he didn't wear on, he was wearing a pair

of beige ( kind of the color of flesh ) pants. Yusuke was wearing a red- orange jacket with dark

brown pants. Kuwabara was wearing a white shirt, brown pants and a blue coat thingy.

And finally, Hiei was wearing a baby blue top, as if the sleeves were torn off, his usual black

pants with his three white belts and his usual black cape thingy was hanging from his shoulder.

Then, 3 girls saw them. It was Ayame, Eri and Yuka.

" Why are you again here? And where is Kagome !? " Yuka asked, frantic.

" What do you mean where's Kagome? " Kurama asked.

" She's absent today ! That has never happened before, but now it did ! " She answered.

Kurama looked to his companions. One of them shrugged, one had a curious look and one

look seemed it didn't care. Kurama looked back to the 3 girls and asked.

" Thank you for the information. " He simply said then all 4 of them walked away.

" Their just acting frantic, lets check her house. " Yusuke suggested then went to Kagome's

home, they knocked and knocked but no one was home.

" Hmm...Urameshi, where do you think Kagome went to? " Kuwabara asked.

" Baka. If I knew we wouldn't be heading back to the old hag's temple. " Yusuke said.
