Disclaimer: me no own so you no sue! Ok, I'm debating over two secondary pairing. Keiko/Kurama or Yukina/Kurama. Add others and I'll try and figure out which ones will go best with the fic. Thankies!
To MatrixFighter3: Thank you for adding this to your favorites! You are worthy of a cookie! I suggest to anyone that likes Shaman King, Inuyasha, Yu-gi-oh, and Yuyu Hakusho should read his fic Shaman King: Undisputed. It's really good!
To: Sesshoumaru's Goddess: Still sounds like a CYOA to me. ; I'm clueless. I'll read your fic though to see what you mean! You noticed how much I'm posting today? It's like I'm obsessed...or possessed...one of the two. You deserve a cookie for trying to explain something to a clueless authoress such as myself. Come to think of it, you deserve 200 cookies. You get to pick the kind!
The Switch
Chapter Five: Coming to Terms
Yusuke and Kurama were dumbfounded, even though they didn't let Koenma see it. Kagome was their new partner if they got her to agree? Koenma didn't even know about Kagome's time traveling adventures, and they knew they couldn't tell with without Kagome's approval, and Kurama didn't even know that Kagome was in the feudal era at the moment.
Nodding, they both turned around and left the toddlers office. As soon as they went through the portal, Yusuke told Kurama about Kagome leaving, and Kurama nodded. "This could take a while, and Koenma will probably check on our progress." Kurama stated as they walked towards Genkai's. Yusuke still had to tell Yukina and Genkai that Kagome was gone.
"What are the chances that Kagome's going to want to join the Reikai Tentei? You and I both know that Kagome wants a perfectly normal life." Yusuke sighed and kicked a pebble. Kurama stared up into the sky.
"Do you honestly think she wants that?" Kurama asked. Yusuke stared at Kurama like he was crazy.
"Of course she wants that! She's even said it a couple of times!" Yusuke pointed it out. Kurama just gave a slight laugh.
"I believe that she's just saying that. It's a crutch of some kind and though we don't know what the crutch is for, you know that she loves having a secret life. Anyway, do you think it would be possible for her to go back to the way she was before?"
"Yeah..." Yusuke sounded unsure and Kurama knew he was debating the subject in his head. "I couldn't go back to being normal even if I tried. I highly doubt you or Kagome could either."
"First of all, Yusuke, I wasn't normal to begin with. Second of all, you're right. Neither you nor Kagome could go back to the way things were." Yusuke sighed and started to head up the steps to Genkai's temple. He hated it when Kurama proved him right about something. Mainly because it was true, and Yusuke couldn't go back either. It's known as the harsh reality.
Yukina greeted them and noticed the slightly depressed look on Yusuke's face. "Yusuke, what's wrong?" Yukina asked. Yusuke looked at Kagome's best friend in this era and smiled a little sadly.
"Kagome's in the feudal era, and Koenma wants her to join the Reikai Tentei and he doesn't know a thing about her." Yusuke explained. Genkai came outside with a serious expression on her face.
"Koenma doesn't even know Kagome can travel through time?" Genkai asked. Yusuke shook his head and Genkai frowned. "You didn't tell him, I presume." Yusuke shook his head again and Genkai smiled. "Good, let's keep this between the four of us and Kagome. As for asking her to join the Reikai Tentei, Yusuke and I will ask her after her next training session." Genkai walked back inside the temple. Yukina looked a little bit sad.
"Do you know how long she'll be gone?" Yukina asked. Yusuke stared up at the sky.
"No, I don't." Yusuke said. Yukina nodded and smiled.
"Well, I sure hope she has a good time." Yukina said and then everyone heard a little 'ding' sound. "I just made some cookies, do you want some?" Yukina asked. Kurama and Yusuke nodded Yukina brought out small bags filled with chocolate-chip cookies hot out of the oven. "Here. When you see Kagome next, tell her to drop by." They promised Yukina that they would and they started to head back down the stairs.
"Yukina and Kagome are becoming really close friends, don't you agree Yusuke?" Kurama asked.
"You could say that again. I have to drag Kagome off of Genkai's property after our training sessions otherwise Kagome wouldn't be able to get her homework done." Yusuke laughed. Kurama chuckled a little bit and stared at the cloudless sky.
"Do you like Kagome in any way?" Kurama asked. Yusuke shot Kurama a 'what- the-hell-do-you-mean look. "As in are you friends or more than that?" Yusuke looked at the ground and heaved a rather large sigh.
"We're just friends." Yusuke muttered. 'She has Inuyasha.' Kurama looked at his friend and suppressed a laugh. "Besides, why would she be interested in me? She's got that Inuyasha fellow to watch out for her." Yusuke grumbled.
"You know, just because she's known Inuyasha longer than she's known you doesn't mean that it couldn't happen. Remember, there is always Kikyou to consider." Kurama pointed out. Yusuke looked confused. "Kikyou. Kagome's incarnate that Inuyasha loved at one point, and apparently he still does." Yusuke thought for a minute and then snapped his fingers.
"Oh yeah! Kikyou! I forgot about her." Yusuke exclaimed and Kurama sweat- dropped.
'My, Yusuke does have an interesting memory.' Kurama thought to himself. Youko agreed in his head.
"Hey, Kurama, I'll see you whenever." Yusuke waved to Kurama and they headed towards their own homes. Yusuke thought about what Kurama had said about Kagome earlier.
'I may still have a chance with her?' Yusuke thought to himself. 'I guess I do like her...' Smiling, he went out looking for somebody to beat up, just because he was in a good mood.
With Kagome
Kagome felt a lot happier about Kikyou joining in the search for the shards. Sango had taken Kagome on a trip to the hot springs and was relieved that Kagome was taking this rather well. Kikyou was even nicer to everyone now that and Kagome had learned to accept each other.
Now, Kagome was walking in between Kikyou and Sango while Inuyasha and Miroku kept the lead. Kilala was resting on Sango's shoulder and Shippo was resting in Kagome's arms. Inuyasha had complained that Kagome was going to spoil the kit and only ended up getting sat. Even Kikyou had to suppress a smile at the action.
"So, Kagome, how exactly did you train in your time? Sango asked. Inuyasha and Miroku couldn't hear the girls talking and Kikyou looked interested in the conversation.
"Well, I met this boy named Yusuke and he kind of sort of figured out my little secret and he suggested that I train with him. Hopefully I'll be more of a help than I was." Kagome smiled.
"Did you learn anything new?" Kikyou asked, and Kagome nodded.
"Maybe you'll be able to see what I can do sometime! It's a little hard to explain." Kikyou and Sango nodded. Sango had a spark in her eye and both Kagome and Kikyou looked at her. "Sango, what are you thinking?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"What are your thoughts on Yusuke?" Sango asked. Kagome gave a little squeak and blushed. Sango knew she had struck something. "Are you going to tell us or are you just going to sit there and be a tomato all day?" Kikyou laughed a little bit at that.
"Well...in personality he is like Inuyasha, but yet he isn't like Inuyasha. Really the only similarity is the tough-guy act they put on. Other than that, Yusuke's really nice and he doesn't insult me." Kagome stated. Sango smirked.
"So, you like him then?" Sango asked. Kagome once again turned red. Kikyou decided to help Sango on her quest.
"Being your incarnate, I would say you do. You're expression tells it all." Kikyou pointed out. Kagome's eyes widened and she started to laugh nervously.
"I guess this is the first time I thought about him that way. I guess...I do like him." Kagome stated. "That's not a bad thing though, is it?" Kagome looked at the other two girls. Shippo finally decided to put his two cents in.
"I like him better than Inuyasha already!" All three girls laughed at that and the boys ahead turned around.
"Hey! What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked. The three girls just looked at Inuyasha and laughed. Miroku shook his head and started walking again. Inuyasha looked surprised that Kikyou was laughing like she was. Kikyou noticed that Inuyasha was staring at her and stared straight back.
"What's the matter, Inuyasha?" Kikyou asked. Inuyasha shook his head, turned around, and started muttering about something to do with 'girls' and 'mood swings'. The three girls started laughing again.
With Yusuke
A week had gone by and Kagome still hadn't returned. He was starting to get worried about her. The good news though was that his mom was making a speedy recovery. Yusuke knew it had something to do with the soup that Kagome taught him how to make. He would have to thank her for that someday. Walking by Kagome's shrine, Yusuke felt a familiar aura and bolted up the stairs.
Kagome was back!
With Kagome
Kagome climbed out of the well. Her bag was still full and she had two new shards of the Shikon Jewel with her. Her week in the Sengoku Jidai had done well for her, and being friends with Kikyou really helped. She had even come to terms with the fact that Kikyou and Inuyasha loved each other.
It really helped her that Sango and Kikyou helped her realize that she liked Yusuke, though she wasn't sure what she was going to do about it yet. Kikyou was becoming more and more like a sister to Kagome, and it was hard to believe that the once emotionless miko was thriving with life, in a manner of speaking; she was still dead after all. The only disappointing thing about the trip was that Kagome didn't even get to use her special energy arrows or change into her fighting outfit.
Walking out of the shrine, Kagome felt Yusuke's spirit energy running up the shrine steps. 'What's he doing here?' Kagome thought and dropped her bag, heading towards the steps. Yusuke's appeared before Kagome reached them and he looked sort of tired.
"Do you need all of those steps?" Yusuke asked, smiling at Kagome who laughed at his remark. After catching his breath, he looked at his favorite miko and smiled. "Welcome back, Kagome."
