(AN) I'm back!! *Dodges various sharp objects thrown at her* I know I took long to update but...There's no excuse, I'll just try not to do it again. I'm sorry!
Disclaimer: How can I disclaim something if I never claimed it? A mystery of life I guess....Anyways....I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.
'Inuyasha....' Kagome thought as she reached the side of the lake. The tears in her eyes were stating to break through even thought she fought. 'Why am I crying? I knew he loved her. He always has and always will...I will not cry.' she said to herself as she wiped her face. She walked up to the edge of the lake and put her hands in, cupping up water, she splashed it in her face.
She blinked to clear her vision and looked at her reflection in the water. Although there were no tears, her face showed sadness. sigh "I bet the others are worried about me...I better go back."
"Yes they are." said a voice from behind her. She turned around and saw Kurama.
"Minamino-san."
"Higurashi-san, please call me Kurama," he said as he took a seat next to her.
"Ok, you can call me by my name to." she said with a smile.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I just need my..."
"About Inuyasha."
"....Why wouldn't I be?" she said with sadness in her voice.
Kurama said nothing but looked at her. 'She holds in her pain and puts on a smile for the world.' he thought. 'I'll kill the bastard that makes my Kagome sad!' Youko said in Kurama's head. Kurama ignored him and placed his attention on Kagome who was speaking again.
"It's always the same, he leaves blindly after her, not caring that she wants to 'take him to hell with her.' and then he comes back." she said as she stared at the grass. "Sadder than before he left. I want him to be happy....but...even if it's selfish....I want him to think of how his leaving affects us, affects me."
"It is not selfish, you want the best for him but would like him to think about how his actions affect the situation you are all in. I believe that he should be more considerate of your feelings. I also believe that he is not the only one to blame for this type crime."
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"All of us in someway have been inconsiderate to someone else's feeling, even if it's just the feeling, the want for their loved one to be safe. I know, I, myself have been inconsiderate in that way to my mother. She wants me to be safe, to be happy, but I can't fully guarantee that, especially in my line of profession." he sighed.
Kagome thought about it and it did make sense, she also did it to her family even if she didn't mean to.
"And at times it is something we can not help."
"I guess you're right...." Kagome said and then thought, 'I'll give Inuyasha the benefit of the doubt this time and see what happens.'
Kagome stood up, while grabbing her bag, and brushed off her skirt. "We should be heading back. The others might start to worry." she said with a smile as she offered a hand to Kurama.
'That fake smile again.' he thought to himself as he took her hand, with a bit of blush on his face, and stood up. He did like her, that was for sure, he wanted to get to know her, and one day he promised himself that he would see her true smile, no matter what it took.
{change of scenery: Jumping from tree to tree}
It had been hours since her kidnaping and to be honest, this was getting boring. All they had done had be jumping from tree to tree and what a surprise to another tree!
At one point it had gotten a little exciting. She had slipped and almost fallen, but the boy caught her, and put her on his back and said with concern in his voice. "Hold on tight."
She leaned in so that her face was against his. "Hey, Mister," she said but got no response. So she tried again. "Mister...are you listing to Rin?" she said and this time caught his attention.
"Are you talking to me? What is it?" he said as he looked around for Naraku's insects.
"I'm Rin, and it's nice to meet you....ugh"
"Kohaku." he said, seeing that the insects were not in sight or in hearing range.
"Kohaku-kun, Ko-ha-ku-kun," she said, adding a little melody to the second time she said it. "Rin likes that name." She sighed. "But Rin wants to know, why did you take Rin away?"
"sigh I was ordered to." he said sadly.
"Buy who?"
"...A really bad guy....But like I said you'll be alright." Kohaku said still sadly. 'All I have to figure out is how.'
"A really bad guy...who ordered you...to take me..."
"Don't think to much about it."
"I know! We could get Sesshomaru-sama to help us get rid of the bad guy and then Kohaku will be happy!" she said all positive like.
Kohaku blushed a little at her words 'And then Kohaku will be happy!' sigh 'She really is something special...here I kidnaped her and she's worried about my happiness.'
{change of scenery: Spirit World}
Since Botan left, Koenma was kidnaped, and George was turned in to a vegetable head, everything in spirit world was turning into chaos. No one, besides those three and King Enma, himself, knew how to run Spirt World officially.
"Hinageshi, we can't handle this," said a girl that had blue hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a blue dress. "Even the death rate has gone up, we need to call Botan."
"I know, I know, Sayaka," said another girl from behind Koenma's desk. She had reddish hair and was in miko's clothing "It's just...." she trailed off.
"I know, we shouldn't bother the Spirit detectives while they are working. But this is an emergency."
"It's not that...I don't know where the remote is..." she said a little embarrassed. Sayaka sweat dropped. "It's just that Koenma has to many papers on his desk, honestly, you'd think that he'd never heard of a computer before." she said while moving papers around, trying her hardest to keep them in order. "Grrr!!!" she said as she shoved all of the papers off of the desk.
It was like it was raining paper, which when you think about it, isn't really good.
"Hinageshi!" Sayaka said surprised.
Hinageshi just smiled and then laughed.
'She's lost it!' Sayaka thought.
"It was right next to me! The whole time..." she said sheepishly, as she picked up the remote and clicked the button.
Out of no where a tv screen appeared and both girls looked at it as if expecting something to happen. When nothing did they turned to each other and both said at the same time "Well?"
"Ugh...what do expect me to do, I'm the youngest ferry girl, I don't know how this thing works." Hinageshi said as she looked around Koenma's office. "You know...come to think of it, this is my first time in Koenma-sama's office, usually Botan tells me my assignments."
"Great....I've been in here before, but only to meet with Koenma-sama and then I leave, so I don't know how his tv screen works either." Sayaka said with a sigh as she turned her back on Hinageshi.
Hinageshi picked up the remote and stared at it for a second and then pushed all of the buttons at once.
Suddenly explosions were heard in Koenma's office as the two girls screamed and ducked for cover.
"You pushed all the bottons at once! You could have broken something, don't act so childish!" Sayaka said as she got up and stared at Hinageshi back (She had stood up first.)
"Childish, you might say, but...." she said as she point to something in the clearing smoke. As the smoke cleared a picture on the tv screen could be seen. "....I got it to work."
On the screen was a picture of Botan, she was sitting next to another girl. It appeared that they were taking, because their mouths were moving, but no sound came out.
"No sound." Hinageshi said
"Observant aren't we?" Sayaka said as she picked up the remote and started to look at the unlabeled buttons. She picked one and pushed it. And it worked, they were hearing the conversation now, but....
"...They're not speaking Japanese anymore....at least when I had the remote they were talking Japanese...."
"They were mute!"
"Mute, but, if we could hear them, in Japanese." she said as she snatched the remote away, and hit the button Sayaka had pushed and then bluish-pinkish button. Suddenly they heard ringing. "Do you hear that?" Hinageshi asked.
"Yes." Sayaka said with a sigh. She really didn't like Hinageshi, this was the second time they had meet and both times she had give off a bad impression. 'How did she become a Spirit World agent? She acts so childish and flaky.'
The ringing continued and the Botan on the screen started to dig inside her pocket.
"Moshi Moshi, Botan speaking!" she said politely and cheerful, with her eyes closed.
The two girls looked at each other not knowing if they need a receiver or just to speak.
"Say something!" Sayaka said to Hinageshi
"Me? Why me first?"
"Hello?" Botan said, then saw the two people on the other line. "Hinageshi, Sayaka, what's wrong, say something."
"Hi! Botan!" Hinageshi said.
"Hi!" Botan responded.
"Hello Botan-san." Sayaka said properly with a bow.
"Hi, Sayaka. So what's up?"
"Spirit worlds a wreck, there's no order and no one will listen to reason. We tried to talk thing out to restore order but they ignored us." Sayaka said. "The ferry girls are all out their post and refuse to go back to where they were stationed, " she said.
"And the death rate has gone up, in the areas abandoned by the ferry girls." Hinageshi said.
Botan looked a little mad but put a smile on her face and asked, "Hinageshi, you are my second in command, and they did not listen to you?"
"No they said I was too young and that they bet it was a favoritism thing."
"Sayaka take the remote and hit the orange button, will you please?" Botan said.
"Yes."
As she hit the button they heard the hall out side grow quiet.
"Attention all Spirit World agent." Botan said, as she did her voice echoed throughout the building. "This is Botan speaking. And what I have to say is....." there was a long pause. "HOW CAN YOU ALL BE SO SELFISH AS TO FORGET EVERY BIT OF TRAINING YOU EVER HAD!! OUR BOSS, LORD KOENMA WAS KIDNAPED AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELVES!" She said then took a breath. "Well lets think about this rationally shall we? What happens in a few weeks?" No one responded and then a small leaf spirit raised their hand. "Yes Yumi."
"King Enma comes back home."
"Correct, and what will happen to all of us if Koenma is still missing?"
"We'll get in trouble." Yumi said.
"Bingo, not only us, but the three realms will be endanger too." she said giving everyone a minute to process this. "So, Sayaka, will handle Koenma's job while Hinageshi handles mine, any questions?"
"Botan, that's not fair, I am the next oldest ferry girl." said a girl with long black hair, and pale white skin, and was very skinny, so skinny she actually looked like the grim reaper in legends.
Botan smiled. "When Koenma gets back, you can take it up with him, but until then, that is the way it is going to be." she said politely as her picture disappeared and the screen went black.
"Botan? Are you there?" Sayaka asked.
"Yes I'm here." she said as she reappeared in front of them. "The link to the entire building was turned just off, but will you two be able to handle everything here?"
"Yeah....but how did you make your message go out to the whole building?" Hinageshi asked.
"It's the orange button that does that."
"Ah! Ok! Don't worry Botan you can count on us!" Hinageshi said and with that the screen went black.
Sayaka sighed, yes they would listened to them, now that Botan had yelled at everyone, but there was still no guarantee that the others would obey to them. She looked up at Hinageshi, who just pushed the orange button.
"Hi! This is Hinageshi,"
'Typical, she's playing with the speaker now.' Sayaka thought.
"All ferry girls are to return to their post. No if's, and's, or but's about it. You will follow the schedules that you were given before." she continued with a lot more confidence and authority in her voice, than before. None of the ferry girls moved. "Well, you heard me! GO!" she said adding extra emphasis to the word 'Go!' As she said it all a the ferry girls scatted, all but one, the one that had spoken up to Botan before. She stayed glaring daggers at Hinageshi. "Ayume, is there a problem?" she said seriously. Sayaka was surprised how she was handling this problem with Ayume, very rational, not at all like the Hinageshi she knew.
"No, none at all," Ayume said with attitude in her voice.
"Well, then I suggest you leave, people die every minute so your work load isn't getting any lighter by standing there." Hinageshi said politely.
Ayume turned her back to Hinageshi and started to leave, mumbling something about a bratty little ferry girl.
Hinageshi turned off the speaker/picture tv. "Well I'd better get going to, I have both my rounds and Botan's to complete." she said as she started to leave.
"You surprised me," Sayaka said. Hinageshi turned around and sat on her oar.
"How?"
"The way you handled that situation, it was so unlike what I would have expected from you."
"And why's that?....You assumed you knew who I was inside and out." Hinageshi said with a small smile as she jokingly scolded Sayaka, while waving her finger. "You're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, ya' know." she added with a smile. "Before I leave do you need help with anything?"
"Picking up the papers..." Sayaka said as she looked around the room, it looked like a paper blizzard had hit, and it would that hours just to pick up and reorganize all of them. "...I think that's..." she said as she looked back at Hinageshi, who was missing now. "...ugh...leaving me with all of the dirty work huh?" she said aloud as she folded her hands over her chest, and had a slight smile on her face. "Hinageshi...I had you figured all wrong....you're a bigger jerk than I thought before! Leaving me with the mess you created!" she said as she started to pick up the papers.
{change of scenery: Inuyasha, Yusuke's, and Hiei's camp }
Inuyasha didn't trust Yusuke and Hiei at all. He had no friends with him and worst of all Kagome wasn't there and probably would be mad at him when they saw each other. 'She's going to be mad. I don't know how she always knows, but she does.' he thought to himself in the tree that he had slept in because of his lack of trust in Yusuke and Hiei.
"Feh..." he said as he looked down at Yusuke and Hiei, who were awake, and restarting their fire.
"Do you trust him?" Yusuke asked so only Hiei could hear.
"Hn...me trust him? I'd rely on the Baka, before I'd ever trust him."
"....You...rely on Kuwabara first....In other words pigs would have to fly to get you to trust Inuyasha." he said with a smirk.
"Hn."
"I don't trust him either....their's something not right about him, something they're not telling us, and I don't like the way he treats Kagome."
"You're stupid human cousin."
"Watch it Hiei..." Yusuke said and then give him a smirk. "How'd you know?"
"When you girls get through with your girl talk, we'd better start heading back!" Inuyasha shouted at them.
Both Yusuke and Hiei glared at him.
"I thought those stupid ears would have some use." Hiei said. "But apparently not."
"Come on Hiei, it's not his fault he doesn't know how to listen," Yusuke said sarcastically. "It's probably we were talking to fast for him to understand. So I'll say it again," Yusuke said as he put his hands to his mouth and started to shout. "THEY ARE COMING HERE!!! DO YOU GET IT NOW!!" Yusuke said as he saw Inuyasha cup his ears for protection.
"Stupid human..." Inuyasha mumbled as he rubbed his ears.
{change of scenery: With Kikyo and Seshomaru}
Kanna of the void had appeared but that seemed to be of no importance to Sesshomaru. This was not his fight, he turned to leave when the air around them suddenly started to pick up. From above him, he heard someone yell " Fuujin no Mai". Blades of wind appeared out of no where and were approaching Sesshomaru fast.
Sesshomaru moved gently to side, as if the attack were just a simple breeze to him. He looked for the origin of the attack and saw a great feather above him. Jumping down from the feather was a girl...no, a demon...who was wearing a fancy Kimono and had a fan in her hand. Her red eyes locked with his golden.
"With a pathetic attack like that you will never defeat me, Sesshomaru-sama." he said with no emotion.
"Heh...who said I want to defeat you?" she said in a sly tone.
Kikyo was dealing with her own problems to even notice the new arrival. The little emotionless girl and her were staring at each other intently. Each waiting for the other to make a move. But neither willing to be the first.
"Let's play shall we?" Kanna said emotionlessly as ever.
"Let the games begin!" Kagura yelled as she raised her fan and charged towards Sesshomaru.
(AN) That was long! Sorry, it was mostly in Spirit World but I wanted to write that. I want to thank all of the people who reviewed last time! Oh! Who said that this was Kura/Kag, I now I didn't, even if it seems so, there are surprises in store, so be patient. As always, I ask you to review and give any suggestion. (Except spelling *Hold up floppy disk threateningly*) And now here's Botan with the next chapters preview! (Midi of Hohoemi no Bakudan starts to play)
Hello everybody! Botan here! Things are heating up as the battle between Kagura and Kanna v.s Sesshomaru and Kikyo continues. But, the bad guys never stick to the rules, as Kagura reveals her trump card.
As for Kohaku, he continues to search for a safe place for Rin. Aww...Isn't that cute, he cares.
It's action, mystery, and romance, all on the next brand new Yu Yu....Oops! New times, New friends! See ya then!
Disclaimer: How can I disclaim something if I never claimed it? A mystery of life I guess....Anyways....I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.
'Inuyasha....' Kagome thought as she reached the side of the lake. The tears in her eyes were stating to break through even thought she fought. 'Why am I crying? I knew he loved her. He always has and always will...I will not cry.' she said to herself as she wiped her face. She walked up to the edge of the lake and put her hands in, cupping up water, she splashed it in her face.
She blinked to clear her vision and looked at her reflection in the water. Although there were no tears, her face showed sadness. sigh "I bet the others are worried about me...I better go back."
"Yes they are." said a voice from behind her. She turned around and saw Kurama.
"Minamino-san."
"Higurashi-san, please call me Kurama," he said as he took a seat next to her.
"Ok, you can call me by my name to." she said with a smile.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I just need my..."
"About Inuyasha."
"....Why wouldn't I be?" she said with sadness in her voice.
Kurama said nothing but looked at her. 'She holds in her pain and puts on a smile for the world.' he thought. 'I'll kill the bastard that makes my Kagome sad!' Youko said in Kurama's head. Kurama ignored him and placed his attention on Kagome who was speaking again.
"It's always the same, he leaves blindly after her, not caring that she wants to 'take him to hell with her.' and then he comes back." she said as she stared at the grass.

"...I think that's..." she said as she looked back at Hinageshi, who was missing now. "...ugh...leaving me with all of the dirty work huh?" she said aloud as she folded her hands over her chest, and had a slight smile on her face. "Hinageshi...I had you figured all wrong....you're a bigger jerk than I thought before! Leaving me with the mess you created!" she said as she started to pick up the papers.
{change of scenery: Inuyasha, Yusuke's, and Hiei's camp }
Inuyasha didn't trust Yusuke and Hiei at all. He had no friends with him and worst of all Kagome wasn't there and probably would be mad at him when they saw each other. 'She's going to be mad. I don't know how she always knows, but she does.' he thought to himself in the tree that he had slept in because of his lack of trust in Yusuke and Hiei.
"Feh..." he said as he looked down at Yusuke and Hiei, who were awake, and restarting their fire.
"Do you trust him?" Yusuke asked so only Hiei could hear.
"Hn...me trust him? I'd rely on the Baka, before I'd ever trust him."
"....You...rely on Kuwabara first....In other words pigs would have to fly to get you to trust Inuyasha." he said with a smirk.
"Hn."
"I don't trust him either....their's something not right about him, something they're not telling us, and I don't like the way he treats Kagome."
"You're stupid human cousin."
"Watch it Hiei..." Yusuke said and then give him a smirk. "How'd you know?"
"When you girls get through with your girl talk, we'd better start heading back!" Inuyasha shouted at them.
Both Yusuke and Hiei glared at him.
"I thought those stupid ears would have some use." Hiei said. "But apparently not."
"Come on Hiei, it's not his fault he doesn't know how to listen," Yusuke said sarcastically. "It's probably we were talking to fast for him to understand. So I'll say it again," Yusuke said as he put his hands to his mouth and started to shout. "THEY ARE COMING HERE!!! DO YOU GET IT NOW!!" Yusuke said as he saw Inuyasha cup his ears for protection.
"Stupid human..." Inuyasha mumbled as he rubbed his ears.
{change of scenery: With Kikyo and Seshomaru}
Kanna of the void had appeared but that seemed to be of no importance to Sesshomaru. This was not his fight, he turned to leave when the air around them suddenly started to pick up. From above him, he heard someone yell " Fuujin no Mai". Blades of wind appeared out of no where and were approaching Sesshomaru fast.
Sesshomaru moved gently to side, as if the attack were just a simple breeze to him. He looked for the origin of the attack and saw a great feather above him. Jumping down from the feather was a girl...no, a demon...who was wearing a fancy Kimono and had a fan in her hand. Her red eyes locked with his golden.
"With a pathetic attack like that you will never defeat me, Sesshomaru-sama." he said with no emotion.
"Heh...who said I want to defeat you?" she said in a sly tone.
Kikyo was dealing with her own problems to even notice the new arrival. The little emotionless girl and her were staring at each other intently. Each waiting for the other to make a move. But neither willing to be the first.
"Let's play shall we?" Kanna said emotionlessly as ever.
"Let the games begin!" Kagura yelled as she raised her fan and charged towards Sesshomaru.
