Chapter 5- Meeting New Friends
~*~*2 days later~*~*
"What do you want Botan? It's three in the morning. Normal people are asleep right now," Yusuke stated irritably.
"Yusuke, Kagome returns to the past today."
"So?"
"Well, Koenma wants you, Kurama, and Hiei to go with her," Botan said cheerfully.
"What about Kuwabara?"
"Koenma wasn't going to tell him. He feels that Kuwabara may mess things up."
"Feh. Probably would. Okay Botan. When do we leave?"
"First you'll have to ask Kagome if it's okay. I would do that first thing in the morning."
-Yawn- "Whatever. Can I go back to sleep now?"
"Yep. See you tomorrow!"
~*~*5 hours later~*~*
"Hold on Inuyasha! I've got to get my backpack!" Kagome said crossly.
"No. We're going now wench."
"Sit! Now stay, Inuyasha. I'll be right back."
That's what Kuwabara (he found out about the mission), Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama walked up to. They were all kind of surprised to see a dog-eared hanyou in a hole in the ground.
"Who the hell is that?" our bad-ass spirit detective asked bluntly.
Kurama responded calmly while looking down at the dog, "I believe this would be Inuyasha."
The four detectives watched as the half dog struggled to rise. When he finally got to his feet he quickly unsheathed a rusty blade that immediately transformed into the shape of a fang.
"Hey you're right Kurama. He's got the Tets-whatever. Plus, he's also got dogs ears. Just like Kagome said," Yusuke affirmed.
"Whoa, that's one big sword," Kuwabaka said stupidly.
"Who the fuck are you? And how do you know Kagome?"
Kurama stepped forward. "I'm Kurama, this is Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara," he said, pointing to each detective in turn. "Our job is to protect Kagome and the shards of the Shikon jewel."
"Liar. You probably just want the jewel for yourself."
Kurama tried to reason with him, but Inuyasha was too thickheaded. Inuyasha attacked with the Tetsusaiga but was pushed back by Hiei, who used his own sword.
"SIT!"
A now-very-pissed hanyou was thrown face first to the ground. He let out a long string of curses.
Finally he was able to get up and yelled in Kagome's face, "What the hell was that for bitch?"
"Why did you attack them? They're my friends!" A now-very-pissed Kagome was yelling at Inuyasha. Everyone (even Hiei) took a large step away from her.
"Kagome, maybe you should calm down. We're all just fine," Kurama said, trying to calm the young miko down.
She smiled and nodded. "Okay. I was just worried. Inuyasha has a tendency to rush into situations without thinking."
"Yes, Yusuke is the same way. He often gets hurt in the process."
"Feh." Inuyasha and Yusuke looked at each other, realizing they said it at the same time.
"Another Yusuke. That's just great," Kuwabara sighed.
Kagome got the conversation back on track by asking why they were there.
"Koenma wanted to know if we could join you on your search for the jewel," Kurama replied.
"Of course, that is if you can get through the well."
"What?!? Hell no! They can't come! They would just get in my way," a cocky Inuyasha shouted.
"Oh shut up baka. Kagome said we could come," Yusuke yelled back.
"Stay out of this ningen!"
"Inuyasha, sit. They're coming. Get over it."
He jumped back up. "No!"
"Sit! Yes!"
With that settled, they all (except Inu) walked towards the well house. Kagome broke off four pieces of the jewel and handed a shard to each detective.
"What are these for?" asked Kuwabara.
"I think you have to have part of the jewel to get through. One time I didn't have any jewel shards and I couldn't get through," Kagome explained.
"Oh."
"Okay. Yusuke, you go first. Then Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. Inuyasha and I will bring up the rear."
"Right," Yusuke said as he prepared to go through the well. He jumped, half expecting to hit the ground. However, he was greeted by a blue light that took him through time and gently set him at the bottom of the well in Sengoku Jidai.
"Who are you? And how did you get through the well?" a little voice piped up.
Yusuke looked up to see a little head peering over the rim of the well. He thought back on Kagome's story and realized that this must be the kit, Shippou.
"Hey, kid. Your name Shippou?"
"Uh-huh. Do you know Kagome?"
"Yeah, she should be here any minute."
Yusuke jumped out of the well and immediately Kuwabara appeared.
"Aah! Help! I can't get out!"
Yusuke looked into the well and sighed. "Just jump, moron."
"Huh? Oh yeah."
Shippou and Yusuke sweat dropped as Kuwabara hopped out of the well.
"So are the others coming or what?" As if on cue, Kurama appeared. He gracefully leapt out of the well and informed the two humans that the others were coming.
Hiei emerged from the well a few seconds later, followed closely by Inuyasha and Kagome.
Inuyasha bounded out of the well, leaving Kagome at the bottom (this is payback for the sits earlier).
"Inuyasha you jerk!" Kagome started to curse and grabbed on to one of the vines to pull herself up. Suddenly the vines started to wrap gently around her waist and she immediately knew that Kurama was helping her. When she was finally lifted out of the well she walked over to Kurama and gave him a small hug and a "thanks". She didn't notice the blush that crept on to his cheeks
"Okaa-san!" Kagome turned just as a ball of fur launched himself at his mother. "I missed you!"
Kagome laughed and said, "I was only gone for three days Shippou-chan."
"It seemed like forever though. Especially with Inuyasha picking on me."
"Inuyasha was picking on you?" She looked over at Inuyasha, who was looking the other way with his arms crossed. "Inuyasha what did you do to Shippou?"
Inuyasha refused to answer, so Shippou did. "He kept hitting me really hard on the head and calling me a stupid brat."
Kagome glared daggers at Inuyasha's back. "SIT, SIT, SIT!" She then turned to the others. "Come on guys, I want to introduce you to Sango and Miroku."
Everyone followed Kagome to the village where they were greeted by a man and a woman. The man had black hair tied in a small ponytail at the back of his head and violet eyes. He wore the robes of a Buddhist monk. The woman had raven hair tied back into a high ponytail and warm brown eyes. She had on a skintight black outfit and had a giant boomerang slung over her shoulder.
The detectives watched as the woman ran up to Kagome and hugged her tightly. "Sango-chan...can't -pant- breathe..."
"Heh, heh. Sorry Kagome-chan. But it's been so boring without you and the monk has been groping me more than usual. In the three days that you've been gone I've knocked him out sixty-three times."
"Ah, my dear Sango. I can't help it. You're simply too beautiful," Miroku said while reaching a little lower than necessary.
"HENTAI!" Sango smacked Miroku and then knocked him unconscious with her Hiraikotsu. "So Kagome, who are your friends?"
"Oh. The one in the green is Yusuke, in the blue is Kuwabara, in the pink is Kurama, and the one in the black is Hiei."
"Are you sure we can trust them? I sense that two of them are demons."
"Of course we can! Their job is to help protect the jewel."
"Okay. Whatever you say. I trust you Kagome."
Inuyasha leapt into a tree to sulk and Miroku gained consciousness just as they were walking into Kaede's hut. He got up and followed suit. They all sat down and waited for the explanation they were sure Kagome would provide.
"So I guess you guys want an explanation right?"
Sango gave her friend an odd look. "What do you think Kagome?"
~*~*After explanation~*~*
"So do you want to start the search today or tomorrow?" Kagome asked.
"I believe we should leave tomorrow Kagome-sama. It's a little late to leave today. We'll stay in the village tonight and leave first thing in the morning," Miroku replied.
"Okay. Hey Sango, want to go take a bath?"
"Sure Kagome." She pointed to Miroku. "You will die if you are found within 100 yards of the hot springs. Understood?" He nodded dumbly.
As they were walking out Kagome whispered to Kurama and Hiei, "Watch him, please?"
"Of course."
"Hn."
