TYN: Hmm...I don't own Yuyu Hakusho.

A.N. Sorry for not updating in a while! I've been working on two other stories (and the uploader was being a dumbass to me...)

The Switch


Chapter Twenty: Reports

It had been a month or so since the Reikai Tentei, or there families (besides Kuwabara's parents) had been seen. Not to mention, Keiko, Yukina, and Botan were missing also. "OGRE!" Koenma shouted and Gorge ran into the room.

"Yes sir?"

"Have there been ANY sightings of them?" Koenma asked.

"No sir. Kuwabara's parents are still the only ones that aren't missing." Koenma excused Gorge and started to think. 'Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Kurama, and Kagome are my best spirit detectives! They're also my only ones...' Koenma started pounding his head on the table. 'Wait...Kagome...' Koenma thought. 'Weird things like random disappearances have been happening since she became a detective. She also fights with more experience than her records say...' Koenma narrowed his eyes. 'Her records...' "GORGE!" Koenma shouted and Gorge came back into the room.

"What is it now Koenma sir?"

"Get me all files you can find on Kagome Higurashi."

Elsewhere

Inuyasha, Kikyou, Kagome, Yusuke, and Shippo were all sitting outside, relaxing and chatting. Needless to say, Inuyasha and Yusuke were now like brothers and Kikyou and Kagome liked it. Inuyasha sniffed the air and stood up. "Their back." Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and stood up. Kagome and Yusuke blinked while Kikyou and Shippo looked a little serious.

"Who's back?" Kagome asked.

"Hiten, Manten, Souten, and Koryuu." Inuyasha informed her, and Kagome's eyes widened. "They didn't really die, and like Naraku they were brought back after a while. We made a little truce with them, thanks to Souten, and now they're scouting all of Makai, listening for reports on Naraku or any other strange things that may be linked to him. Kagome smiled at Shippo.

"So, you're friends with Souten now?" Kagome asked Shippo, who blushed and looked the other way. Kagome giggled and ruffled his hair. "Aww, it's cute!" Kagome then thought. "Souten is adorable! I wonder how's she's been doing for the past 500 years." Kagome started to think. Yusuke looked at Kagome like she was nuts.

"Are you going to explain or what?" Yusuke asked and Kagome smiled.

"Oh, Hiten and Manten are the thunder brothers and Souten is their little sister, while Koryuu is her familiar. Hiten and Manten had some of the Shikon Jewel Shards and..." Kagome explained. As soon as her explanation was done, including the part where Souten challenged Shippo to a deal, a rather large cloud appeared with a small cloud right next to it. The big cloud lowered to reveal three thunder youkai with red eyes and, the little cloud protruded a red arm and punched itself three times, turning into a small dragon-like thing.

"I see you've gotten new recruits. Good job." Hiten smirked. "Are they the Reikai Tentei by any chance?"

"How'd you know?" Kagome asked and he turned to her.

"Rumors have been going around. The Reikai Tentei plus their families and friends have turned up missing. Koenma isn't going to be happy if he finds out." Hiten frowned. "Let's hope he doesn't."

"We should head for the meeting room, and bring everybody." Manten said and Kikyou nodded.

In the meeting room

"What's your report?" Sesshoumaru asked. Everyone had taken a seat somewhere, or was leaning against the wall. Hiten, Manten, Souten, and Koryuu were the only ones standing.

"With the reports of the Reikai Tentei gone "missing" there have also been reports of a giant power growing in the northern section of Makai.

"The Northern Section? Isn't that where..." Tessa began and Hiten nodded.

"Yes." Tessa looked disturbed, as did the wolf clan. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru seemed slightly nervous also, though only slightly.

"What's up with them?" Botan asked.

"A powerful wolf tribe resides there and they have a thing against other wolf tribes and dog youkai. They don't pick on other youkai so much as they do wolves and dogs." Manten explained. "Now, back to the report..."

"Youkai towns have been getting more and more attacks and a lot of youkai are turning up missing. Giant spiders have been showing up all over as well." Hiten said.

"Naraku..." Inuyasha gripped his Tetsuaiga. "The bastard..." The Reikai Tentei and everyone else watched as the people who had first fought Naraku got tense and angry. Yusuke put his arms around Kagome's shoulders comfortingly, though she didn't seem to respond.

'I have a bad feeling about this...' Yusuke thought as he looked around the room. The wolf clan all had hard, angry looks on their faces, as did Tessa, Jamie, Kristen, Kagura, Sesshoumaru, Rin, Kanna, Shippo, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kikyou, even the thunder family and Koryuu.

"We're moving out tomorrow." Inuyasha stood up and left the room. Everyone looked after him and then went back to their own worlds. Would they be able to handle Naraku? Kagura and Sesshoumaru were the next ones to leave the room, followed by Souten, Souta, Shippo, Kanna, and Rin. The humans Kiba, Yahiko, Kenji were gone soon after them. Eventually, everybody was gone.

Outside the "Headquarters"

Sitting on a boulder looking at the full moon, Kagome couldn't get Naraku's face out of her head. Every time he made a smirk, or laughed in her mind, she couldn't do anything but shudder. She never would have believed he was alive, much less in her time. If he was able to find a barrier to the human realm, then...

She felt an arm go around her shoulders and suddenly stiffened, but relaxed when she saw Yusuke. "Hey." She murmured, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Kagome...are you all right?" Yusuke asked; his eyes were filled with worry.

"I'm fine!" Kagome smiled, saying that a little bit too fast.

"Liar." Yusuke muttered. "You're not fine." Kagome sighed.

"You're right. I'm just...worried. Who knows what he's like or how powerful he is compared to five-hundred years ago..." Kagome trailed off, deep in thought. Yusuke brought his hand under her chin.

"We'll beat him and we can go back to our seemingly normal lives." Yusuke grinned. "Then, we can have all of the make-out sessions we want and..." he stopped as he heard Kagome laugh. It had worked. She playfully punched him in the arm, still laughing.

"You're such a pervert!" Yusuke grinned and then pretended to look shocked.

"Me? But I thought Miroku was the pervert! Wait a minute..." Yusuke knew what was going to happen. Kagome grinned, and not a sweet grin either. It was more of a 'you-just-gave-me-a-good-idea-but-it's-going-to-cause-you-hell' grin. Yusuke gulped.

"Hmm...so if you're a pervert like Miroku...you should get treated like Miroku!" Kagome grabbed a stick that had conveniently lying right next to her hand and brought it down on top of Yusuke's head, hard. He fell off the boulder and looked up at Kagome from the ground. She then jumped down, next to Yusuke, went on her knees, and kissed him briefly.

"So much for getting treated like Miroku." Yusuke sat up rubbed his head. "I highly doubt Sango kisses him."

"Just because you don't know what happens doesn't mean I don't." Kagome smirked. Yusuke looked at her with wide eyes.

"How do you know this exactly?" Yusuke asked and Kagome grinned.

"I have my ways..." Kagome bent towards Yusuke and kissed him briefly. "We have to get back inside." She stood up and helped Yusuke get up from the ground.

Elsewhere

Shippo, Souta, Souten, Rin, and Kanna were all playing in a nearby field, practicing their techniques. "LIGHTNING STRIKE!"

"FOX FIRE!"

"SPIRIT KNIVES!"

"SPIRIT ARROWS!"

"MIRROR ATTACK!" All five of their attacks hit random trees; Kanna's attack looked exactly the same as Rin's, as they were working together since Kanna couldn't form energy of her own. Souten made lightning from her hands and shot it at a tree, immediately disintegrating it. Shippo burned a tree with his foxfire down to ashes. Kanna and Rin hit trees with knives, Rin throwing them and Kanna shooting them from her mirror. Souta aimed his spirit arrows at random points. Like his sister, he was a quick learner and even had the same spirit weapon as her. After a while, all of the attacks got tiring and they all sat down in a circle to rest.

"Souta, you're getting better!" Rin smiled and Souta found himself blushing and rubbing the back of his head.

"Well...thanks!" Souta said nervously. "You're doing great too!"

"Do you really think Rin is doing great?" Rin asked and Souta nodded.

"Yeah! I haven't seen you miss a target yet within the past week!"

"Rin thanks you."

"Aw, you're welcome."

Kanna looked at them and sighed. If Naraku hurt one of them, the other would be devastated. She sadly watched as the two talked, hoping they would both live through the ordeal. Soon, she turned to watch Shippo and Souten, who were, for once, having a 'nice' conversation instead of fighting.

"You know, Koryuu has gotten stronger. His lightning arrows are really starting to actually kill people, unlike where they actually felt good." Souten said, taking a stick and drawing random doodles in the dirt. "Hiten and Manten have been teaching me a few things also."

"You have been getting better." Shippo pointed out.

"So have you." Souten sighed. "I'm scared." Souten admitted, looking up at Shippo, whose green eyes widened. Did Souten just admit that she was scared? This certainly was a change.

"Why?" Shippo asked.

"What if no one makes it? What if Naraku kills me? What if he kills you?" Souten bit her lip. "What if he kills Hiten and Manten, for good?" Souten's eyes welled up with tears and she hugged her knees. "Please don't make fun of me."

"I won't." Shippo looked at Souten. "I'm scared too." Souten looked at Shippo in surprise. "Yeah, I said I was scared. What if Kagome doesn't make it? What if Yusuke doesn't make it? What if Jin doesn't make it? What if you don't make it?" Shippo thought of all of his role models and his best friend, Souten.

"Well, if we don't make it, at least we died for a worthy cause." Souten mumbled. "A death to be proud of."

"I'm not sure we're old enough to be talking like that." Shippo said, and Souten giggled.

"You're right." Souten said and stood up, a new idea forming in her mind. "Who wants to play tag?" She asked and everyone, including Kanna, jumped up.

"NOT IT!" Everyone shouted, except for Souten, and her eyebrow started twitching as everyone ran off.

"COME BACK HERE SO I CAN TAG YOU!"

Elsewhere

Keiko was leaning her head on Kurama's shoulder and thoroughly enjoying the scent of roses that came off of him. He had his arms wrapped around her waist in a hug and her arms were hugging his torso. They had been like this for a half hour, silent and just enjoying being next to one another. "Keiko..." Kurama broke the long, and comfortable silence. She looked up at him.

"Yes?" Keiko asked, blinking.

"I don't want to lose you." Kurama stated, worry in his voice. Keiko sighed and looked at the full moon.

"You won't, and I won't lose you." Keiko buried her head into his chest and started to sob. Kurama moved his arms from her waist to around her mid back comfortingly. "Kurama, I don't want you to die..." Keiko sobbed and Kurama ran his fingers through her hair.

"Keiko, don't cry. It doesn't suit you." Kurama took his finger and placed it under her chin as he said this, and gently made her look up at him. Tears were pouring down her cheeks and he wiped them off with his thumb. "Crying never suited you." He said and brushed his lips against hers, pulling away and seeing Keiko smile. "That's better."

Somewhere else

Ayame sat next to Tessa, and noticed how worried the lone wolf was. "You're worried about your friends." Ayame said softly and Tessa nodded. Ayame had been like a mother figure to her...ever since Naraku had killed off her pack.

"I'm just scared the same thing is going to happen to all of us that happened to my pack." Tessa looked at the full moon, it provided comfort to all wolves and wolf youkai. "Jamie and Kristen are like sisters to me, and you and your pack are kind to all three of us." Ayame smiled.

"Kouga and I were talking, we would like you to join our pack." Ayame said, smiling when Tessa looked at her with hope in her eyes.

"Really?" Tessa asked.

"Yes. You're a daughter to me and Kouga, and a sister to Ginta and Hakkaku." Ayame smiled. "Do you except?" Tessa hugged her and nodded. "Good." Ayame and Tessa sat there, staring at the moon. Ayame stood up after a while. "I'm going to go see Kouga. I have a few things I want to tell him." Ayame walked off, waving and Tessa waved back.

Ayame found Kouga sitting by the cliff, watching the moon. Ayame sat down beside him and they were silent.

"What did half-pint say?" Kouga asked.

"She hugged me and nodded. I don't remember her saying anything." Ayame laughed lightly. "In other words, yes." Kouga smiled lightly.

"So, a new member to the pack." Kouga looked at her. "You know, if you get attached to every stray wolf then you'll eventually restore the pack." Kouga grinned. Ayame got a sly look in her eyes.

"There are more ways than that." She smirked as Kouga blushed a little bit from what she was suggesting. Ayame laughed lightly. "Come on Kouga, and after all the talk you have about mates you blush at that?"

"I am not blushing." Kouga frowned. Ayame rolled her eyes and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Sure you aren't." She smiled. Kouga stiffened for a second before wrapping his arm around Ayame's shoulders.
