"I'm afraid that Yusuke is right, Koenma. Miko's purify all demon traces with a touch," Kurama said, never breaking his emotionless mask.

"Hn."

"But what I would truly like to know, Yusuke, is how you know that she is a Miko...?

"Mom, I'm home!" yelled Kagome as she shut the well house door, and walked to the main part of the shrine.

"Welcome home, sweetie. How is Inuyasha? Still as well as ever, I hope?" Kagome's mother asked as she hung her upper body out of the kitchen window to better see her daughter.

"Yeah, I guess so," her daughter answered doubtfully, "he's been acting a little weird around me. Only me, though. When he's around Shippo or Miroku he acts like normal, but Sango's been glaring at him for no apparent reason lately. It really unnerves him."

"Well, take some extra ramen for him. That'll cheer him up." She replied cheerfully.

"Hey, mom?"

"Yes dear?"

"I thought my aunt and cousin would be here by now. Did something go wrong?"

"Oh, no, sweetie. Everything's fine. Your cousin just got a little held up at his job, and your aunt is waiting not so patently for him to hurry up."

"Well, that sounds like her," Kagome remarked dryly.

Her mom laughed. "Yes, it does sound remarkably like her. Your fathers sister is one of a kind, isn't she?"

"You have to ask?"

"Nope," her mother replied cheerily.

"Ahh, heh heh, well, um... Keiko made me look it up?" Yusuke said, rubbing the back of his head nervously, hoping that his boss and co-workers wouldn't call him on his bluff.

"I know for a fact that you don't see Keiko anymore, Yusuke, and have tried to forget everything about her. So why remember about Miko's?" Kurama asked skeptically, one eyebrow raised, and hands crossed over his chest.

Damn. There goes that. Figures that I would get the 3rd degree today of all days. Mom's gonna kill me for being late.

"Heh, well, I gotta go," he said, bringing his hands down from his head to point at his broken watch, the only reason I even wear it anymore is because Kags gave it to me, "Moms waiting on me, and you know how she gets when she's mad... BOTON!" he called, "I need a portal ASAP, 'kay?"

The cheerful grim reaper had run in the room at hearing her name, and thinking some poor creature was being held hostage somewhere, reacted as fast as she could, not even registering the cries from her boss and Kurama to stop, drop the oar, and keep the runaway THERE, for Kami's sake.

"Thanks Boton, that's gotta be the fastest reaction time from you yet! Toodles, all!" he yelled as he was pushed into the glowing black swirl.

Hey! I love you all so much, I did this while on the rebound from a very nasty flu. You all know how there aren't a lot of flu shots going around? Well, since some people have to have them or they'll die, I've decided to stay home, as I could possibly kill someone. It sucks.

As it is, I've got work that I don't know how to do from school, including 3 essays, 2 speeches, and a necklace that I've gotta make for jewelry class.

I didn't catch up on beautiful sleep to write, because I love my reviewers. DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!

Anyway, replies to awesome reviewers!
