Chapter 3
Disclamer: Don't own anything. Not Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha.
Kagome had arrived in her world the previous night. And luckily for her, no one was awake to greet her. She slowly made her way up to her room. She dropped into her bed and slowly cried herself to sleep. She awoke at seven o' clock and found that she could sleep no more. She got up and got dressed and prepared herself for the day ahead. As she reached the kitchen of her house she was greeted by her mother with a warm smile.
"Ah Kagome-chan your home." she said as she hug her daughter. "I'm glad you're back. Would you like something to eat?"
"No thank you. I'm going to see if I can find Eri, Yuka, or Ayumi so I can get the lesson that I missed. Since it's Saturday they're probably at the mall." she said as she looked towards her grandpa, who was busily searching for a new disease for Kagome to come down with and Souta was reading the comics.
"At least eat something."
"Alright." Kagome said as she sat down and started to eat with her family.

Inuyasha hadn't come home last night. He was still wondering how to tell Kagome that he...
"Inuyasha!!!" someone yelled, almost making him fall out of the tree. He looked down and saw Shippo, who looked really upset.
"What do you want?" he said as he got out of the tree.
"What...did...you do..to Kagome?" Shippo said between his tears.
"I haven't done anything to her!"
"It wasn't as much as what you did to her but what you said to someone else." Sango's voice said as she walked up to them.
"You should have had more compassion for her feelings." Miroku said as he joined them (Sango had told him what happened.)
"What...What are you talking about? I haven't talked to anyone since last night!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Uhn" Sango said
"You stayed out all night." Miroku said
"And?"
"You were with Kikyo!" Shippo said (Sango had told him too)
"Wha..." Inuyasha said and turned a shade of red but his natural color returned quickly. "I don't know why it's any of you're business but I did see Kikyo last night."
Everyone was staring at him but the one who spoke up was Shippo who said "And what did you tell her?"
"Feh..I told her...."
{change of scenery: Yusuke's house}
Yusuke was having a peaceful dream about beating up demons and not having to listen to Koenma any more, life was good, until...
"YUSUKE!!! WAKE UP!" someone screamed in his ear. He shot up strait from bed with his spirit gun aimed.
"Keiko? What are you doing here it's.." Yusuke said as he looked at his clock "6:30 in the morning! I'm going back to sleep!" he said as he fell back into his bed.
"Yusuke we have to find Higurashi"
"Who?" he said as he opened his eye to look at her.
"Higurashi Kagome, the girl for your case. Don't you remember what Koenma said yesterday?"
"I remember pacifier-breath saying something like that about someone named like that. But she's probably not even up yet and how do you know about this?"
"Botan told me."
'Note to self: kill Botan' Yusuke thought 'Wait, can she even die?' Yusuke thought as he gave up the idea of more sleep and got up to get ready.
sigh 'I give up.' Kagome thought as she sunk on to a park bench. 'I've looked all over for Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi, although it was a sort of a half hearted look but I didn't find anyone after four hours. It's 12 o' clock now.' sigh 'I wonder what Inuyasha's doing now. Uh, Why do I even care I bet he doesn't care what I'm doing' she said as tears started to appear.
"Umm are you okay?" someone said.
'This is so embarrassing. I'm getting pity from strangers now.' Kagome thought as she wiped the tears off her face and put on a smile and said "Yes I am. Thank you though." to the girl who had asked her. This girl was wearing a dark green skirt and a yellow sweater, she had pink eyes and long blue hair.
"By any casualty you wouldn't happen to be Higurashi Kagome, right?"
" Y-yes... But how do you know my name?" Kagome asked sort of confused.
"I'm Botan, Pilot Of The River Stix, but in your culture they call me the Grim Reaper!" Botan said as happy as always.
"Oh no! I'm Dead! This can't be happening!"
"No, no I'm not here to take you away, you are not dead yet. I'm here to offer you a job."
"A job?"
"Yes a job as my assistant." Botan said ever-so-happily.
"Why?"
"King Enma's son, Koenma, thinks you'll benefit from this. It'll help you learn to control your spirt energy."
"My Spirit-what?" Kagome asked more confused.
"Your Spirit Energy, your Force of Life, or in other words, the power your Soul emits."
"Oh!" Kagome exclaimed not fully understanding.
"Leave her alone Botan. You already have her confused." Yusuke said cooly as he and Keiko walked up to them."
"Oh, Kagome -chan this is Keiko-chan and her boyfriend Yusuke" Botan said, making the couple blush.
"Ehh Botan-chan..." Keiko said.
"And the second part of why I needed to find you is that Yusuke is willing to help defeat Naraku." Botan continued.
"Uhn." 'Willing? It sounds like I volunteered.' Yusuke thought.
"Yusuke... The Great Urameshi!" Kagome said. "The boys at my school talk about you. They say you're really strong but I don't think you are strong enough to take on Naraku... How do you know about him? Who are you people?"
{change of scenery: Kaede's hut}
'She went back to her own time.' Inuyasha thought as he sat in his tree again. 'It's my fault.' he thought as he remembered the conversation he had with Sango and Miroku earlier.
~Flashback~
"What!!! She went back home!" he said. "And you helped." he yelled at Sango.
"What was I supposed to do? She thought that you had chosen Kikyo over her and she wanted to go home. She's my friend I had to help her." Sango yelled back as Miroku and Shippo looked on, wondering who would win the argument.
"Feh. You could've done something." There came no reply from Sango. "Besides, that what she gets for eavesdropping."
At this Sango exploded. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!! AND YOU"D BETTER GO FIX IT!"
"MY fault! She was the one eavesdropping!" Inuyasha yelled back. All he got was a look from Sango that said 'Fix this or Die.' and Inuyasha gave in.
"And the Winner is SANGO!" Miroku said as he walked over and lifted her arm in the air.
"Yay! Go Sango!!!" Shippo cheered.
~end of Flashback~
'I know I need to get her. But how will she react.' Inuyasha thought as he made his way to the well. 'Any which way I'd better do it. Sango's creepy when she's mad.' 'Note to self: Don't get Sango angry.' and with that he jumped into the well.
Inuyasha found himself in the small shrine. It was dark. He climbed out of well and walked out into courtyard and the sight that he saw first really surprised him. It was Kagome floating on an oar with a girl with blue hair standing next to her.
"Kagome!..."
'That's Inu..' Kagome thought but suddenly the oar went up and down leaving her hanging by her knees. "Kyaa! Help me!" she screamed.
Inuyasha rushed forward and helped her up. "Baka! What we you doing?..." Inuyasha said but then he got hit on the head by someone.
"Don't interrupt. I was trying to help her control her spirit energy but you ruined her concentration." the girl with blue hair said.
"Who the hell.." Inuyasha started but the girl suddenly grabbed his ears and started to rub them.
"Cute!!" she squealed.
"Get Off!" he said as he moved a way from her.
"Your hair and ears remind me of Kurama but your attitude reminds me of when I first met Yusuke." she stated.
"Who. Are. You!" Inuyasha said.
"She's Botan." Kagome said.
"Pilot of The River Stix, at your service!" She said cheerfully.
'This girl's nuts!' Inuyasha though. "Anyway, Kagome you need to come back!"
"Why?"
"Because... Because we need you"
"Isn't it more like 'I Need You' eh Inuyasha?" Botan said as she elbowed him on the ribs and her eyes narrowed.
'What's with her? How does she know me?' "DO YOU MIND?! I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO KAGOME ALONE!!!"
"Okay" Botan said as she disappeared, But appearing behind some bushes nearby.
"What do you want Inuyasha?"
"I..I..I... need you to come back... Not just for them but I'm used to your company... And I miss you." Inuyasha said. 'I should tell her how I really feel now' "Kagome... Uhm... I...."
"Inuyasha I'll go back with you... There's no need to explain." Kagome said seeing that he truly meant what he just had said. "Tell me one thing... do you still love Kikyo?"
"Inuyasha!! You came back." Said Souta as he ran up to Inuyasha. "So how have you been?"
Inuyasha started to talk to Souta. "Hm...So close too, he just had to ruin it."Botan said to herself. All of the sudden Inuyasha's ears twitched, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked towards Botan's hiding spot.
"I know you're still there." His voice dripping with anger. Botan hopped out and shrugged at Inuyasha and walked up to him.
"Don't worry you'll get your chance, I'll make sure of it."She smiled up at him and then called to Kagome. "Let's get back to training, shall we." she turned to Inuyasha "And Please don't inrrupt."
