Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Yuyu Hakusho or Inuyasha. Now, I will cry in a corner.
To Fox Fire: Yes, Sesshoumaru and Kagura are together.
To Jumper Prime: You got the same reasons I did for putting Keiko and Shizuru in. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks like I do!
A.N: Sorry I haven't updated for two days. The first day my internet was down...which it does quite a lot...the second day (yesterday) I was in Cheyenne, Wyoming at Frontier Days. As much as I though I would be bored out of my MIND, it was fun! The rodeo clown was hilarious and I saw a few people almost get gored by raging bulls! That isn't a good thing but...it was exciting! I felt really dirty after it though. I especially liked the rides. I even got to see my Evil Pet Seventh Grader!
The Switch
Chapter Sixteen: Decisions and New Allies
Kagome and Yukina looked at Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha with pleading eyes. They just had to tell Yusuke and the others but without Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's consent...well...it wasn't going to happen.
"I'm not so sure Kagome. What if Koenma finds out what we're up to here?" Inuyasha stated and Kagome had to hold back her little 'command'. Shizuru stepped forward.
"Umm, may I please state my opinion?" Shizuru said, feeling a little bit of pressure coming from the youkai lords from five-hundred years ago. Sesshoumaru nodded and she took a little breath. "You see, my brother, Kazuma, is part of the Reikai Tentei and I pretty much have a tight leash over him, so to speak."
Flashback
"Shizuru's probably plucking her mustache." Kuwabara laughed while they were waiting for the girls to finish packing so they could leave Hanging Neck Island.
"Should I tell them about your teddy bear?" Shizuru's head rose next to Kuwabara and Kuwabara screeched and jumped up. Kurama got out of his seat and let Kuwabara land in it.
"Oh, hey sis! Enough family stories, I was just telling them how pretty you are!"
"Moron."
End Flashback
Keiko nodded. "Not to mention Yusuke or the others would dare mention anything, he even said my punch was harder than most tough guys'." Keiko spoke back on the memory. Kagome looked at both girls thankfully. "If they did tell, well, it wouldn't be a pretty life for them, that's for sure."
"Besides, the guys respect our privacy! Sort of..." Botan sweat-dropped. The only privacy they really respected was any that they were threatened to keep a secret. "Like Shizuru said, we've got a tight hold on the boys!" Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha looked at each other (does anyone else think it's weird they are in one room, and NOT trying to kill one another?).
"Kagome trusts them." Kikyou spoke up. "I know both of you have a high respect for her and Yukina." The two TaiYoukai nodded.
"If they a single word to Koenma..." Inuyasha growled and Kagome sweat- dropped.
"They won't. Umm..." Kagome remembered something. "Please don't mention that Yukina has fought Naraku before...especially to Hiei. It's kind of a secret..." Kagome bit her lip, thinking of what Hiei's reaction might be like. Not pretty.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "I'll inform everyone later today." Kagome and Yukina brightened and nodded.
"Thank you!" Yukina smiled and she motioned for everyone to head out the doorway. "I think we should all tell different people." Yukina motioned and Kagome nodded.
"Yes, but make sure they go through the portal at the same time, since you all can't open it." Kagome said. "I call Yusuke!" Kagome chirped.
"I call Kurama!" Keiko laughed.
"I might as well tell Kazuma." Shizuru said, shrugging.
"Who's gonna tell Hiei?" Kagome asked, looking between Yukina and Botan.
"We both will. It might be easier if we do." Botan mentioned and Yukina nodded. "When will we tell them?" Kagome wanted to scream 'NOW' but knew it wouldn't be a good idea.
"A week from now. We need to at least start you on training." Kagome said.
"Genkai knows so we'll just meet every night over the week." Yukina informed the three girls. "But first...let's go see everyone else here!" Kagome and Yukina led everyone to the first room on the wall to their right. Inside were Jin, Shippo, Touya, Rinku, and Chu.
"Hey there Shela, I see you brought along Team Urameshi's girls!" Chu spoke and Kagome nodded.
"Oh, you all know them?" Kagome asked and everyone nodded.
"Yeah, at the Dark Tournament." Touya smiled in greeting to the girls, who waved back. "How have you all been?"
"Great! Yusuke and the others will be here around a week from now, if you wanted to know." Botan chirped and Jin looked up, his ears twitching.
"Really? I want to spar Yusuke!" Jin stretched his arm out and Kagome giggled.
"Are you kidding me? He'll beat you senseless!" Rinku pointed out and all anyone could do was laugh. Shippo jumped towards his adoptive mom and grinned.
"I finally get to meet Yusuke?" Shippo asked, excitedly. Kagome nodded and Shippo was ecstatic. "Awesome! I wanna show him how strong I am!" Kagome giggle and hugged the kitsune youkai (I really have to draw Shippo looking around the same age as Souta...and right now I'm holding back a squeal!). Kagome took out her camera and snapped a photo of Shippo. Her camera was almost used up...well...that's the price she paid for taking so many pictures of Yusuke and everyone else.
"Well, we'll let you go now." Chu waved at them and Shippo hugged Yukina before jumping back to Jin. Kagome and Yukina went to the room across the hallway. Inside the room were Miroku and Sango, but luckily (for Sango, anyway) there were two beds in the room, and the Boomerang was in an easily accessible spot, right next to Sango's bed.
"Ah, Lady Kagome and Lady Yukina! I see you have brought new recruits!" Miroku was smiling happily and he grabbed Botan, Keiko, and Shizuru's hands. "Fair maidens, would you please bear my children, my intentions are honorable, I assure you!" Keiko and Botan's eyes were twitching and Shizuru, well, she looked pissed off.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG
All six girls hit him. "Don't you ever learn?!" Kagome, Yukina and Sango shouted and the other three girls sweat-dropped. Kagome mentioned Miroku was a pervert...they just didn't think he was THIS much of a pervert. Miroku was now unconscious on the floor.
"Sango, this is Shizuru, Botan, and Keiko. Everybody, this is Sango and the unconscious guy is..."
"Miroku." The three girls cut Kagome off and she sweat-dropped. Miroku was going to give himself a horrible reputation this way. Sango bowed to the three new girls, and they did the same to Sango.
"You three are friends of Kagome and Yukina, so you're ok with me! Just remember to stay away from Miroku, he has a tendency to..." Sango stopped and her eye was twitching and her fist was starting clench. "HENTAI!" Sango screeched and started to beat on Miroku. Shizuru's eyes lit up, Sango was a lot like her, except for the fact that Shizuru beat on her brother and not on Miroku. Then again...if Miroku touched her ass there would be hell to pay.
"Umm, I'll just leave you two alone..." Kagome smiled nervously and Sango stopped beating on Miroku for a second.
"All right, Kagome! Have fun showing them around!" Sango waved and continued her beating on Miroku. Kagome took them to the next room.
"These are Kouga, Ginta, Hakkaku, and Ayame. They just nodded. "They are the wolf youkai tribe." Kagome pointed out the various wolves around the room. "Guys, these are Shizuru, Keiko, and Botan." Kagome pointed them out and they nodded.
"Nice to meet you all!" Ayame smiled and waved at the girls. They waved back.
"Lady Kagome, it is nice to see you have found new recruits!" Ginta smiled.
"I can even tell they are strong from over here!" Hakkaku made the three girls blush from flattery.
"If you keep on finding new recruits, Kagome, we might not have enough rooms." Kouga smirked at Kagome, then at everyone else. "Or are they going to stay in Ningenkai?"
"That's basically the plan. After a while though, some of us will come here." Kagome informed Kouga and he grinned.
"Did you tell that Yusuke guy yet? Or is mutt-face still thinking about it?" Kouga smirked and Kagome sweat-dropped. Even five hundred years later, they are still at it.
"Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru actually said yes today, and we're going to tell them a week from now." Kagome said and Kouga looked at Kagome.
"I'd like to meet this Yusuke guy. After all, you did choose him over both me and mutt-face." Ayame glared at Kouga, though he didn't really notice at all. Yukina and Kagome sweat-dropped. He was going to be in for it when they left the room.
"Well, I'm pretty he'd like to meet you...I think..." Kagome thought of Inuyasha and Yusuke, who had pretty much the same temper and knew that if Kouga didn't call him a weak human boy than it might actually be safe to let the two meet. "Well, we've got people to see. Bye guys!"
"Bye Lady Kagome, Lady Yukina, and friends!" Ginta and Hakkaku waved and Ayame smiled and waved also. Kouga decided he might as well wave also, so he did. Kagome could hear Ayame shouting at Kouga as soon as the girls left the room and went to the next one.
"Hello Kagura." Kagome waved. After a few visits she knew that Kagura wasn't a bad person. It was weird; she was making friends with former enemies. "Sesshoumaru's still in the conference room?" Kagura smiled and nodded.
"Yes. Are you going to introduce me to your friends or not?" Kagura said in her usual purr.
"Well, this is Botan, that's Keiko, and that's Shizuru." Yukina spoke up. Kagura smirked and walked over.
"I imagine you three must be rather strong." Kagura purred. "I trust you if Kagome and Yukina trust you." Kagura said. "So, any of you have a boyfriend?" Kagome smiled. Kagura sure knew how to start a conversation...
"Keiko does!" Botan chirped and Keiko blushed.
"...yeah..." Keiko said slowly. Kagura's interest was perked up.
"Really? Do I know him?"
"You will!" Yukina smiled.
"In human form, his name is Schuuichi Minamino! Though, we just call him Kurama..." Botan chirped. Kagura looked over at Botan.
"Kurama? You mean, as in Youko Kurama?" Kagura asked and Botan nodded. "I thought that was him at the dark tournament...Keiko, you have a great taste in guys." Kagura complimented and Keiko blushed. "Sesshoumaru's coming, so I guess you should go to the next room." Kagome did just that, pausing to say hi to Lord Sesshoumaru. In the next room were two little girls.
"Everybody, this is Rin and Kanna! Shippo's supposed to be in this room as well..." Kagome informed the girls.
"Kanna is Kagura's older sister." Yukina said.
"Older?" Shizuru asked, looking at the white-haired girl. Kanna nodded. "If you say so..."
"Rin wants to know who the pretty ladies are!" Rin tugged on Yukina's sleeve.
"All right. This is Shizuru, Botan, and Yukina." Yukina introduced them.
"Lord Sesshoumaru saved Rin and now Rin is able to meet you!" Rin chirped and Keiko bent down to Rin's height.
"I like the way you did your hair!" Keiko pointed out the side ponytail and Rin smiled.
"Rin did it herself!" Rin smiled and Kanna looked at everyone else.
"Are you three new recruits?" She asked in her whispery voice. They nodded, and soon the five girls left, saying good-bye to the little ones. They walked into the next room to see a few younger teenagers, probably in the 13-15 year range.
"Do you know them?" Kagome asked and the girls shook their heads. There were three girls in the room. Kagome pointed to a girl with brown hair that went down to her shoulders in layers and brown eyes with a tanuki tail and ears. "This is Jamie." Jamie waved. Kagome then pointed to a girl with a wolf-tail and wolf ears who had brown hair and eyes (her tail and ears were a grayish color). "That's Tessa." The last girl also had brown hair but she had hazel eyes and had a tiger tail and tiger ears. "That's Kristen."
"They came here from America." Yukina explained and Keiko looked at Tessa.
"Are you related to the wolf youkai tribe down the hall?" Keiko asked and Tessa shook her head.
"No. Naraku killed my tribe." Tessa's eyes flared at Naraku's name. Jamie and Kristen sighed.
"They did the same to our friends and family." Kristen said. "We are all basically looking for revenge." Kristen looked up and shook her head. "Sorry."
"Yeah. Are you three the new recruits I heard about?" Jamie asked. Everyone nodded.
"This is Keiko, Yukina, and Shizuru. Well, we better go to the next room now." Kagome waved. The next room had a few humans in it.
"Everybody, this is Kenji." Yukina said, pointing out a dark-haired man with a katana at his waist. "This is Yahiko." Yukina pointed to a blonde- haired blue-eyed boy around eleven or twelve. "And this is Kiba." Another dark-haired guy just a little bit older than Shizuru. They chatted for a little bit.
"This is Jinenji everybody!" Kagome chirped and looked at the hanyou with kind eyes. "How are you doing?" The rather large hanyou looked at Kagome with his watery eyes. The three girls gasped at his arms.
"How did you get those scars?" Shizuru asked, grabbing the arm gently and surveying it. Kagome explained what happened in the feudal era and Jinenji smiled at the girls.
"It is nice to know that Kagome's friends have accepted me." Jinenji said and everyone smiled and nodded.
"You are nice so we couldn't dislike you. Besides, Kagome seems to have a very good judge on just about everybody." Keiko said and Jinenji smiled.
"I know it's not a lot, but that's all the recruits we have." Kagome said, exiting the room. "I wish we could find more, it would really help." Shizuru and the others nodded.
"Strength in numbers is basically what you're trying to imply." Shizuru said and Kagome smiled at Shizuru.
"Yeah, basically." Kagome said. "Well, it's around midnight, let's head to Genkai's and start training!" Everybody perked up. Shippo had heard Kagome and came out to hug the girl.
"Bye Kagome! Come back soon!" Shippo yawned and Kagome ruffled his hair.
"Go to bed, Shippo." Kagome ordered kindly and Shippo hugged Yukina before doing just that.
