Chapter 4

As they followed Kagome to her "grandmas" the area became increasingly familiar as though they had been there before but they couldn't place it at all. Yet.....

There was something calling to them here.

Kagome led them finally to an old shrine and that's when it hit them why this area seemed familiar and Kagome's story seemed quite familiar as well.

They were at Genkai's place.

Kagome smiled as she began to walk to the building when a dark blur came speeding at her. As if she had known that was going to happen Kagome dodged to the side getting into a fighters stance. Feet balanced and hands before her ready for anything.

The blur sped past her then turned to face her again once again came charging at the girl which she also seemed prepared for. She brought her fist up and started exchanging blows with the person then moving expertly when the person threw a punch at her she grabbed it and using the persons force against them flipped the person over her and she sped to the shrine.

The gang watched amazing. They had thought of stepping in the moment she had been attacked but she seemed to be holding her own so far and they didn't want to intrude and find out just how good their deceptively sweet and innocent Kagome was at fighting.

The blur slowed down to show an old woman known to them as Genkai and to Kagome "Grandma". She raced past the boys showing surprise in her face as she ran past them following Kagome into the shrine.

Shrugging they followed figuring that's where more fighting would be taking place at.

They were right.

When they entered they found Kagome with a sword in hand and Genkai holding one as well as they went back and forth exchanging blows and blocking each others attacks. They seemed to be evenly matched but then Kagome did something that surprised the gang she pulled a dagger that she seemed to have hiddin in her pocket that looked kinda weird. It had weird teeth on it and looked like it would be no help to her.

She surprised everyone as she quickly switched weapons dropping her sword and holding this weapon in both hands as Genkai swung her blade down on her.

To everyones amazement the dagger caught the sword between its teeth and with a quick twist she broke the sword.

(A/N this is a real thing just to let you know it's known as a swordbreaker dagger that was used in the middle ages by knights to either disable their opponents or break the sword depending on how much force they put behind the twist in it)

Genkai dropped the sword in surprise and in a flash Kagome was at her sword once again in her hand pointing at Genkai's throat.

"Yield?" she asked grinning tiredly.

"Cocky aren't you?" Genkai said to the girl.

Kagome nodded her head affermitively. "You got that right and don't you forget it. Now do you yield?"

Genkai seemed to be measuring the girl before her looking for a weakness so that she could get out of this but she saw nothing finally she spoke to her. "Congratulations granddaughter you have beat me."

Kagome pulled back the sword tossing it behind her and hugged the older woman. "How are you grandma?" "Never better. I must be getting old for you have to beat me though." she said shaking her head.

Kagome only chuckled. "No it's just that I'm getting better finishing my training under you." she said to her.

Genkai smiled smally at her then looked at the other four boys in the room. Kagome noticing where her gaze was at brightened instantly. "Grandma I'd like you to meet my friends. These are..." She was cut off by Genkai. "What are you four doing here?" she asked looking at them carefully.

"Could ask you the same Grandma." Yusuke muttered. "Kagome asked us to meet her grandma with her and we agreed to come."

"You guys know each other?" Kagome asked looking at them amazed.

"Unfortunately." Genkai answered. "Grandma." she admonished. "They are my friends try to be nice."

"Just like that other boy was your friend what was his name again? S...Sess... something like that." she answered.

"Don't worry about that Grandma." Kagome answered quickly. "Nothing to worry about."

Genkai looked at her questionly then her eyes narrowed a bit. "He's been near you?" she asked.

Kagome looked at her holding a wondering look in her eyes.

"His aura is near you." she answered.

"Yes he's been by me but don't worry now. Everything will be fine. I'm going to go make tea since Yukina is gone." she said as she walked into the building leaving them staring after her. "I'm going to help her." Genkai said as she followed Kagome. "Sit down." she said over her shoulder as she disappeared from sight.

The four exchanged confused glances before following them into the house. As they entered they could hear the two talking angerly to each other.

"What did he want?" they heard Genkai ask.

"Grandma I thought he'd be dead by now." Kagome said to her in reply her voice was tired and weary different from the cheerful voice she had used in front of them just a bit ago.

"What did he want?" she insisted.

"He wants me back with him Grandma. What am I supposed to do? I gave up on him back then. What he did hurt me."

"What do you want to do?" Genkai asked wisely. "I want to kill him myself since he didn't seem to die in the time of my absence back then." Kagome muttered quietly.

"Why don't you do that then?"

"I owe him to much to just kill him now and I owe Rin that much. She was like a daughter to me. Did you know that? He raised her and asked for my help. I got attached to her. She was so beautiful and innocent just like my musuko (son) Shippo."

"Speaking of Shippo have you seen him?" (she knows about Kagome and her traveling and she also knows about Kagome not being able to go through the well anymore.)

"He contacted me last week grandma. He's grown up now and has a wife and three children. Miyu, Eri, and Kat. You want to see him don't you?"

"Of course I do. I care about the kit." Genkai answered the girl briskly.

You could hear the smile in her voice. "Of course you do grandma. I would never say otherwise."

"What are you going to do about him being here again?" Genkai asked her.

"What can I do? He probably already knows my whole schedule. Where I work, who I hangout with. Stuff like that. Good news is since Shippo is coming I'll be spending a lot of time with him and we'll be heading off so no one will know where to find us anyway."

"He'll find you. Don't pretend he won't."

She sighed softly. "Yes I was just fooling myself wasn't I? That would be the perfect time for him to try and get another meeting in with me. On another note I got another call last night. It's another offer."

"Yes." Genkai said you could hear the interest in her voice.

"Later the boys are eavesdropping." Kagome said with laughter in her voice as she came out with a tea tray Genkai behind her who was looking at the boys as though trying to figure out how much they had heard.

As they sat down Genkai looked at Kagome again as they began to talk once more but this time on safe subjects.

"What are you doing this weekend Kag?"

"Going to the mall to have a meeting with someone." she said with a silly grin on her face.

"Oh. Does it have anything to do with that call?"

"Nope not at all. In fact this is something I recently got. I got a letter so I'm going to go meet an old friend. Well not just one old friend but four." she said grinning widely.

Genkai's eyes widened a bit as she seemed to understand who it was Kagome was talking about. "You don't mean that...."

"Of course not, two of them are descendants and the other two will be just as I remembered them no doubt. I hope she hasn't been letting him get away with his rough attitutde."

"Hmm. Bring them over if you have time Kag." Genkai said a twinkle in her eyes.

"Grandma you wouldn't?" she said aghast.

Everyone looked at them confused. These two didn't have to say much for the other to know what the other meant.

"Why not? I just want to see if he's gone soft in all these years." she answered.

Kagome sighed in long suffering but a smile pulled at her lips. "It would be nice to see him beaten...."

"Of course." Genkai said.

Kagome grinned openly at that. "I see. I will bring them over of course."

Genkai handed tea cups to everyone and Kagome poured some for all of them. "When is Yukina coming back grandma?" she asked as she finished pouring herself some tea.

"During the weekend."

"Good she'll be here to see Shippo. She enjoyed seeing him when he used to come over and visit."

Hiei's eyes narrowed slightly. His sister was seeing someone? and it seemed to be someone Kagome knew. He'd have to find out more later. (protective brother isn't he?)

"So what about his wife and children? Have you visited them yet Kag.?"

"No not yet but I've talked to Shippo and learned some stuff about them from him. They seem to be doing well except for Miyu it seems he's come down with something. I'm going to stop over there after I leave here to give him something I just made. Something Kaede taught me to make. It works like a charm."

Hiei relaxed a bit. It seems he was just a friend if he was already married with children. Something confused him though. If he had heard correctly Kagome said this Shippo was her son yet he sounds to be older then her, married and with children. When did she have a child anyway?

Kurama seemed to be thinking along the same lines. He had to hold back Youko who seemed quite angry at the thought of her having a son. With who? That man they had seen her with when they went looking for her? Was it possible? Maybe.

Kagome and Genkai exchanged quick glances. They both had sensed the energy from Kurama and knew what was happening. Youko. Something Genkai had told Kagome about some time ago.

Kagome hastily stood up and faced Genkai. "It seems I have to get going. I want to give the medicine to Miyu before his conditions get worse." "Of course."

Kagome faced the four friends. "Are you guys gonna come with me? I want to check on a family that's a friend of mine then I'm heading home."

They just nodded and she grinned. She reached down her hands and pulled up Kurama and Hiei. Hooking her arms around theirs she took off skipping with them leaving Kuwabara, Yusuke and Genkai to laugh at the sight.

"See you later grandma." Yusuke said still laughing as he followed where they left Kuwabara following.

We're going to end here. Hope you enjoyed this chapter so far. I'm kinda confused what to do. I was planning on making this a Sesshomaru/Kagome in the end but so many ppl want it to be a kurama/kag or hiei/kag so what do you guys want?

Hiei/Kag

Kurama/Kag

Sesshomaru/Kag
