Tale of the last Dragon Master
Disclaimer: I own the idea and Cairi, Airi, Seth, and Anora. Nothing else, especially not InuYasha, Yuyu Hakusho, or dot hackSIGN, and I borrowed Vahn's name from Escaflowne. I also don't own the songs. I will let you know if I do.
Tenshi: Now that that's dealt with, enjoy!

Tale of the last Dragon Master
Chapter Eight: Meet the Reikai Tantei, The Spirit Detectives of Earth!
==Yusuke's POV==
'Damn that toddler! How the hell am I supposed to find and capture "Dragonken" from the past if I don't even know what they look like?'
=By waiting for Lady Death to show up to take us to the appropriate time and location, Detective. =
"Hiei! Don't do that! I was waiting!" Yusuke had fallen on his butt when his friend Hiei had spoken in his mind, using a Jagan eye.
"Hiei is right, Yusuke. You should be more patient. Botan will be here soon." Kurama stated from behind Yusuke, helping him up. Of course, Kuwabara just has to make things worse.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Urameshi is such a clumsy baka! I can't believe he fell on his butt." Kuwabara was bent over in his mirth, so of course Hiei couldn't resist humiliating him. He jumps down out of his tree and shoves him forward a little.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Hiei!!!" Of course, everyone else patiently waits for Kuwabara to stand up since Botan arrived.
"Come on, people! This mission's not getting itself done!" she says ever so happily, standing by the portal. Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama walk through. Botan drags Kuwabara through.
"Welcome to the Sengoku Jidai!" Just then they here an explosion.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" They heard a scream.
"That could be them! Come on!" They all run of in the direction of the scream.
==Kagome's POV==
'I wonder what Sesshoumaru wanted with Tsukasa? He seemed more interested in Tsukasa then in any of us.' Kagome was sitting at Tsukasa's side while he rested, recovering from the ofudas Kikyou used on him.
'He looks so frail, so sad. What is going to happen to him next?' She heard him stirring slightly so she looked down at him. Tsukasa had opened his eyes. He looked around, dazed, until he saw her. Without warning, he smiled.
=Kagome. I'm glad to see you. = He started to sit up. Kagome moved immediately to assist him in his effort.
"Tsukasa, are you all right? Did you get enough rest?" She sighed with relief as he nodded at her. Suddenly, he turned to look at her, his expression serious.
=Kagome, would you like me to give you some training in your powers? = he asked, uncertainty in his voice.
"I would like that very much, Tsukasa. Shall we begin now."
=Yes, let's go outside and warn the others to stand clear. = She helped him to his feet and they went outside to begin.
"Now what?" She looked at her friend, who pointed to a spot nearby.
=Stand there, Kagome. It is the clearest spot. = Nodding, she took her place. Then she looked at Tsukasa for further instruction.
=Focus on the weather, think about what you want it to be. =
'Okay, I want a light breeze, it's getting warm.' As soon as she finished the thought, a breeze began to lift her hair and Tsukasa's.
"Did I do that?" She couldn't believe it.
'All I did was think about it.'
=Yes, you did that. Now, focus on your attack from before. Summon the lightning and create your bow. =
"Okay... I'll try." She closed her eyes and focused. As she did, a storm came up. Rain began to fall. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, glowing that dark blue.
"Heaven's Arrow!" Again the bow and arrow of lightning appeared, and she drew it, aiming towards a tree.
=Aim at me, Kagome. = Tsukasa's voice entered her mind. Without thinking she followed his instructions. Once the arrow was pointed at his chest, she released it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Tsukasa fell to his knees, the lightning that had formed the arrow surrounding him.
"Tsukasa!!!" Kagome instantly ran to his side, as did the others in their group.
"What have I done? Why did he tell me to shot it at him."
=I'm.../gasp/...all right... Kagome. I... had to see...just how strong... your attack is. I'm sorry I worried you. =
"Don't you dare do that again!" Everyone yelled at him at once, making him start with confusion. He started to smile, when he tensed and looked off to the side.
=Youkai and humans with great spirit power are coming this way. = As soon as he said it, five people entered the clearing.
"Who are you, and what is he?" The one in green said.
==Kurama's POV==
'What is he?' He thought looking at the young man on the ground, kneeling. Yusuke seemed confused as well. That is when Youko spoke up.
{That's Tsukasa...what is he doing here?}
{You know him?}Kurama asked in confusion, looking at his other self.
{I knew him a long time ago, Kurama. Back in the Sengoku Jidai.}
{Youko! We are in the Sengoku Jidai!}
{Oh yeah...right. So who are we after again?}
{The two Dragonken. Koenma said it was important.}
=Youko? = A strange mind voice entered his head.
{Tsukasa? Is that really you?} Youko was speaking to the new voice as though he was familiar with it.
=It's me all right. What are you doing in there? =
{Long story. Listen, these people I'm with right now, they're after you and Cairi. RUN!!!} Immediately following Youko's warning to the stranger in my head, the stranger on the ground started to run.
"Stop right there!" Yusuke lifted his arm, preparing to fire a spirit gun. Hiei, of course, was a little more direct. He was quite suddenly in front of the stranger, with his sword out. The stranger stopped, shaking.
"Who and what are you?" Hiei asked, his voice hinting at the danger he was in.
=I am Dragon Mage Tsukasa Shadowstar of the Dragonken. = It was the mind voice from before, the stranger was Tsukasa.
"You will come with us." Yusuke stated in a no nonsense tone. Tsukasa, still shaking, lowered his head and fell to his knees.
=I...I can't. I won't go. = His voice was full of fear and anger. Hiei pointed his sword at him.
"You will come with us. You have no choice." All of the Spirit Detectives, including myself, surrounded him. He lifted his head towards the sky. He was crying silently, tears flowing down his cheeks.
=I will not go. = His eyes began to glow white. The wind picked up in strength.
=I don't want to go! I will not abandon her! = The sky darkened with storm clouds, lightning struck the ground.
=CAIRI!!!!! = Lightning struck down on him, surrounding him with it's power. Hiei moved quickly, throwing a rock at the back of his neck. When it struck, the storm ended, and the boy slumped forward, unconscious.
"Don't touch him!" We turned to see the young Tenshi Youkai standing there, a bow and arrow in her hands.
"If you've hurt him, I swear I'll purify you!! What do you want with him?" That's when I see Youko standing beside her, looking toward Tsukasa.
"What the hell?!"
