Yuskae and Kuwabara were just walking out of the school when they heard screams.

"What was that?" Kuwabara asked his irritated friend.

"I don't know, but let's go see if there's anyone I can beat up." Yuskae said.

They began to run to the direction of the screams. They just arrived to see one guy holding a bleeding guy on his shoulders and carrying him off in another direction.

"Hey Urameshi, I got the tickle feeling again. I feel a lot of spirit energy and it's coming from those two girls we met today and that big guy standing in front of them." Kuwabara whispered.

"How did those two guys get beat up? It couldn't have been those two girls; that's impossible. They're just normal teenage girls." Yuskae commented.

They burst into the alleyway determined to protect the two supposed weak girls.

"Just stand back, Sango and Kagome. I'll take care of this for two beautiful girls!" Kuwabara declared. Kagome and Sango stood with confused looks on their faces.

"Umm, Kuwabara? We can take care of this, if you don't mind." Kagome offered.

"What?! How could you? You're both just a bunch of girls!" Yuskae yelled. The leader of the gang was staring at them all in amusement. He sat down on the ground to watch the fight at hand.

"For your information, Yuskae, we can take care of ourselves. We've been doing it for the past two years!" Kagome yelled back.

"Yes, so don't underestimate our strength! This gang just tried to jump us so we started teaching them a lesson. Now if you don't mind, we'd like to resume the fight!" Sango added.

"You couldn't handle a bug, much less a gang member." Yuskae scoffed.

"Just try us," Kagome challenged in Yuskae's face. If looks could kill, the whole world would have exploded from Kagome's and Yuskae's staring match.

The leader stood up and smirked.

"I'm getting bored watching you humans bicker with one another. I'm the one you're supposed to fight." The leader smirked. The four teenagers stared at the interrupting gang member.

The leader's skin started to peel off to reveal green and slimy skin. The others look on in horror and disgust as the leader began to grow and spikes emerged along his spine. The leader's eyes began to take on a red hue and his nails grew into claws. The overall look of the demon was a hunched-over green toad with claws and a pointed snout.

"I didn't know demons still existed." Kagome mumbled.

"What do you know about demons?" Yuskae asked in a rude manner.

"Well...umm-" Kagome was cut off as the demon swiped at her head and she was forced to duck.

"Stand back! I'm going to use my spirit gun!" Yuskae yelled, holding his hand in a gun gesture.

"No, let us take care of it!" Kagome protested as she ran forward to stop him. 'Stupid jerk, stop being such a show-off, you'll get yourself killed!' the priestess thought as she ran toward him.

A dark blur suddenly shot from the darker depths of the alley and stood in front of Yuskae. The figure looked to Yuskae, who had lowered his hand from the gun position, and nodded. The figure was dressed in a long flowing cape and wore a black ninja's uniform and had a hood pulled around his face. He pulled a weapon from its holster and pulled the trigger on the giant demon.

The evil demon was demolished. It was too quick for the average human to see, as the gang leader fell to the ground in a puddle of his own blood. Deciding this was their cue, Sango and Kagome took their leave of the place.

Another figure shot from the shadows and stood next to the dark figure and crossed his arms.

"Hello Yuskae, Kuwabara." The the first fighter greeted first.

"Hey Kurama and Hiei." Yuskae greeted as well.

Kuwabara noticed something on his hands. As he looked down, he noticed a big blob of demon guts clinging on the back of his hands. Screaming, he ran around in circles, trying to rid himself of the accursed thing.

"Who were those girls, Yuskae?" Kurama asked.

"They're new to our school too. Their names are Kagome and Sango." Kuwabara replied.

"That one in the red shirt noticed me in the tree. I was even masking my energy so no one could sense me while I was waiting for Kurama." Hiei commented sourly.

"It appears they have more power than first assumed." Kurama suggested.

"By the way, Urameshi, why do you have a big, swollen bump on your jaw?" Kuwabara asked. He had finally flung the demon guts onto a nearby wall.

"Uhh, I ran into a tree." Yuskae said nervously. He didn't want them to know that Sango had punched him for being mean to Kagome.

"You're lying Yuskae." Hiei smirked.

"Uh, no I'm not. What do you know Hiei?" Yuskae asked nervously, knowing full well that Hiei could read minds with his Jagon eye.

"I know that you were rude with them and you got hit by that Sango girl." Hiei stated with a victorious smirk.

"Urameshi got hit that hard by a girl?! Ha ha Urameshi!" Kuwabara began to laugh at the once again irritated Yuskae.

"Shut UP Kuwabara. It's not funny!" Yuskae yelled. He proceeded to chase Kuwabara down and beat him to a bloody pulp.

As the fight was going on, Kurama and Hiei spoke telepathically.

'Those girls seem to have hidden spirit energy, don't you think?' Kurama asked the fire apparition.

'Hn.' Was Hiei's reply.

'You said that Sango knew you were there? I wonder how that could be? Did they notice your movements as you left?' Kurama asked.

'Yes. And did you notice those two men that left with blood and bruises from this alley?' Hiei said.

'Koenma will find out sooner or later, if he doesn't already know. We'll have another mission on our hands and we aren't completely sure they're on our side.' Kurama commented.

'Hn.'

With Kagome and Sango........

"That was odd Kagome." Sango said.

"Do you mean that feeling when we left? Yeah, if was like we felt two more demons but at the same time we didn't." Kagome replied confused.

"Oh well, let's get started on our homework." Sango advised.

"Yeah, and tomorrow we can start our training. I can't believe demons still exist in this time!" Kagome suggested.

End Kagome and Sango...

"Botan!" a small toddler called out.

"Yes, Koenma sir?" the blue haired reaper answered.

"Come here, I need to speak with you."

A blue haired grim reaper appeared in the office. A small toddler with a pacifier in his mouth stood on the desk next to a pile of paperwork that was taller than himself.

"You called sir?" Botan asked.

"Yes, gather the Spirit Detective team. I need to fill them in on a little information." Koenma commanded.

"Right away Koenma!" Botan said cheerily

Kurama and Hiei had long since finished their conversation and now sat back with amusement, watching the two oafs squabble, Kurama would let out a small chuckle each time their fists would connect while Hiei just had his normal aggravated look on.

Botan had just come down to their location when she heard grunts and punches. She sat on her oar watching as Kuwabara and Yuskae fought. She then spotted Kurama and Hiei and decided to fill them in first.

"Hiei, Kurama!" She called out. They both looked her way, ignoring the two fools who were still fighting.

"Koenma sends for all your presence right away." Botan informed them.

"All right then. We just have to wait for them to stop squabbling first." Kurama replied cooly. So the three turned and waited.

Yuskae had finally given the hardest blow to Kuwabara, knocking the orange-haired boy against the wall of the alleyway. Yuskae looked up to find three faces staring impatiently at him.

"What?!" Yuskae yelled, uncomfortable under their scrutiny.

"We've been waiting two hours for you to stop fighting, fool." Hiei said with fire burning in his eyes.

"Let's go already! Gather up Kuwabara and let us go to Koenma. He requests your presence immediately!" Botan told the sheepish Yuskae.

Yuskae picked up the taller Kuwabara and slung him over his shoulders. Botan opened her portal and they all walked through to Koenma's office.

"Whatddya want toddler?" Yuskae asked in a rude manner.

"What I want is for you to stop calling me a toddler, Yuskae. You know very well I am over a hundred years old and you should respect your elders!" Koenma reprimanded.

"Yeah, yeah. Just get on with it." Yuskae said in his normal disrespectful voice. Koenma ignored the comment, straightened his shirt, and began to tell them the information.

"Well, I have been getting some strange signals ever since yesterday around seven o'clock pm. Two people with extremely high spirit energies, even higher than all your own, were sensed in Tokyo. Their names are not known, but they could be a potential ally or enemy. Their location was around an ancient well of a shrine." Koenma explained.

"So I'm assuming you want us to investigate these two people Koenma?" Kurama asked.

"Yes. They were sensed at the Susnset Shrine in down town Tokyo, near your schools, Yuskae and Kuwabara. I want you to find out whom they are, where they came from, how they got here, and most importantly, what they are. Botan, make them a portal to the Sunset Shrine please." Koenma ordered.

"Yes sir Koenma." Botan agreed as she opened the portal. The five comrades walked through the portal to find themselves at the bottom of a large set of stairs.

"Oh man, don't tell me we have to walk up all these stairs." Kuwabara complained. Botan went back through the portal leaving the four males to walk up the steps to the main shrine house. The demons simply jumped up the stairs while the humans trudged on slowly.

With Kagome and Sango...

"Woo, I am starving. Who knew that doing all those push-ups with your feet elevated would make you so hungry." Kagome breathed.

"Not to mention exhausting as well." Sango agreed. The two girls walked down the steps to get a bite to eat in the kitchen.

"Hey Sango, let's make sandwiches, okay?" Kagome suggested.

"All right then." Sango replied. The priestess and the demon slayer began to pull out the neccessary ingredients.

"Let's see, we need bread, peanut butter, and jelly. Okay got it all!" Kagome exclaimed. Their mom, grandpa, and Souta had gone grovery shopping earlier.

Putting together their sandwiches, Kagome accidentally flicked jelly onto Sango's arm.

"Oops, sorry Sango." Kagome said and went back to her sandwich making. Sango got a mischievous grin on her face.

Sango loaded a heap of peanut butter onto her butter knife and catapulted it at Kagome, nailing her right on the face. Sango doubled over in laughter as Kagome looked at her in surprised confusion. Kagome soon joined her with the smile of mischievousness.

"You want to play dirty huh?" Kagome asked. Each of the girls loaded their bendable butter knifes with peanut butter and jelly and started firing it at each other. Loads of it landed in both of thier hair, clothes, faces, and well...everywhere else.

End Kagome and Sango...

"Finally, the end of the stairs." Kuwabara sighed in relief. He was going to have cramps tomorrow in both of his legs.

Kurama and Hiei sat waiting for the two humans at the top.

'It took them long enough.' Hiei thought impatiently.

Yuskae and Kuwabara walked along with Kurama and Hiei to the front door. Koenma had told them there were tours here. Maybe that would help in their mission. Knocking on the front door, they heard laughter coming from the inside.

Sango and Kagome were laughing so hard; tears were streaming down their faces. Then they heard a knock on the door. Pushing each other in a playful fashion, Sango reached the door first with Kagome snickering behind her. She opened the door to find four male faces staring at her.

Sango struggled to contain her laughter. "Umm-yes? How can I help you?" Sango managed to get out before bursting into a fit of giggling.

"We're here for the tour of the shrine." Kurama said.

"Sango?! Kagome?! You live here?" Kuwabara asked the two giggling girls.

"Yes!" they replied in unison before collapsing on the floor in bouts of hilarity.

"Why do you have peanut butter and jelly all over you?" Yuskae asked in a rude voice. He definitely did not want ot be here, especially because of the girl who punched him in the face.

"It's b-because w-we were having a-a fight with s-sand-sandwiches!" Kagome stuttered. It took them a few minutes to compose themselves. When they finally did, they found the group of four boys still staring at them.

"What?!" Kagome asked in frustration at the boys who were still staring.

"You have jelly on your face." Kurama answered her politely.

"Oh, well we're going to clean up a bit. Why don't you just wait in the living room? We'll give you the tour in just a minute." Sango invited.

Kagome and Sango lead the boys to the living room and they sat down. The girls then ran upstairs to change and clean their faces.

"I didn't know that Yuskae like tour shrines." Kagome said while changing her shirt.

"I didn't either, but those two new boys have the same aura as the energies we felt when we left. Yuskae and Kuwabara in the alleyway." Sango said. Sango slipped on another pair of jeans and a tight-fitting black shirt.

"Could they be demons? They sure feel like it." Kagome alleged.

"Just to be sure, I think we should keep straight faces and keep our guard up." Sango supposed.

"Those girls don't trust us." Hiei informed them.

"Did you read their minds?" Kuwabara asked.

"Hn." Hiei replied.

"That must mean a no. Why do you think you couldn't read their minds?" Kurama asked, figuring out why Hiei had all of a sudden became cold.

"They had strong barriers." Hiei said curtly. Kurama nodded in understanding.

'Thsoe girls must have had extremely strong mind barriers for you not to get through.' Kurama suggested telepathically. 'Only decades of training could have taught them how to make those barriers so strong, yet they only look about seventeen.'

"All right, let's go!" Kagome called out. She and Sango had changed into fresh clothes and entered the living room.

"By the way, what are all of your names?" Sango asked.

"I'm Kurama and that's Hiei. I'm guessing you already knew Yuskae and Kuwabara." Kurama said introducing them all.

"Okay then, nice to meet you all. Follow us and we'll tell the story of this shrine, starting at the Goshinboku tree." Kagome exclaimed. The six people walked out of the house and towards the giant tree.

"This tree is probably over five hundred years old and still healthy." Kagome began. "There are many legends about this old tree but the most remembered one is the tale of Inuyasha the half-demon and the sacred Shikon Jewel.

"It starts with a great priestess who battled thousands of demons and eventually sealed them and her own soul into a beautiful pink jewel called the Shikon no Tama. Many demons battled for the jewel because of its great power and eventually it landed in the hands of a strong priestess name Kikyou." Sango explained.

"Inuyasha, the half-demon, lusted after the jewel to become full demon, but Kikyou was a strong protector. Eventually, Kikyou won Inuyasha's heart and they fell in love with each other." Kagome said.

"But an evil demon named Naraku also lusted after the jewel and Kikyou as well. On the day Kikyou was to bring the jewel to Inuyasha to become full human so they could live together forever, Naraku came in the form of Inuyasha and delivered a fatal blow to Kikyou.

"Believing it to really be Inuyasha, Kikyou shot a sacred arrow and pinned Inuyasha to this very tree. He then fell into a deep sleep, never to be awoken again. Kikyou died soon after from Naraku's blow and the jewel was burned with her body." Sango finished.

Kuwabara was crying his heart out for the tragic story. Hiei had a look of indifference while the fox demon looked on in interest. Even Yuskae, who hated history, had a look of sorrow planted on his face. Sango and Kagome looked up at the tree in remembrance of the dog demon that Kagome had freed.

Kurama broke the silence between them all. "You know so much about it. So why is Inuyasha still not here?" he asked.

"We will get to that later." Kagome assured him.

The female duo then led the four boys around the shrine showing them the girft shop and other meaningless things. Finally they got to the well house where everything started, all the pain, misery, love, and hate.

"This is the Bone-eater's Well. This is also where we will answer your question from earlier, Kurama." Kagome said.

"Fifty years had passed since Inuyasha was pinned to the tree and Kikyou's death. A girl who looked so much like Kikyou appeared, almost out of nowhere. The younger sister of Kikyou, Kaede, had thought the girl to be Kikyou's reincarnation. The reincarnation accidentally freed Inuyasha from the arrow in his heart when she was attacked by a demon." Sango enlightened them.

"Inuyasha destroyed the demon as a jewel fell out of the reincarnation's side. A second demon came and took the jewel away. The jewel ended up being the Shikon no Tama.

"The reincarnation shot an arrow as the demon swallowed the jewel. The arrow not only destroyed the demon, but the jewel as well. Shards of the jewel scattered in all directions. From then on, Inuyasha dn the reincarnation searched for the jewel to get it before the evil demon Naraku did." Kagome said, earning the same look of despair and loss at the Goshinboku tree.

"It all sounds like you two actually experienced it." Kurama remarked.

"Well, we've been brought up in that story our whole lives. In fact, I was named after the reincarnation, Kagome." Kagome lied.

"And I was named after the demon slayer, Sango." Sango revealed, going along with Kagome's lie.

"How interesting...Don't you think Hiei?" Kurama asked his silent friend.

"Hn. What I don't get is why that story had anything to do with this old well." Hiei questioned.

"Well...umm we're not quite sure, but legend has it the reincarnation appeared in this well in that time era." Kagome explained.

"She traveled through time?" Yuskae asked in disbelief.

"It's only legend though," Sango reminded him, "and legends tend to exaggerate over time."

"Oh." the spirit detective said in understanding.

"Well, I guess the tour is over! See you later!" Kagome called out as she and Sango ran back to the house, leaving the four boys alone in the well house.
