Last Time:

Kuwabara sighed mentally and said, "Well, I'll just go to Genkai's temple. I will

get to see my Yukina." Kuwabara then ran in happiness towards the direction of Genkai's

temple.

This Time:

The Spirit Detectives now were all at Koenma's office. King Yama and Botan

were also there. "So, do you know any clues that will lead us to where Koenma is?"

"No, King Yama," said Kurama. "All we have found is this keychain." Kurama

lifted a keychain that looked like a glass ball. It was hanging on a string and a paper was

attached to the string. It had the words Shikon no Tama.

"Strange. What does the fake copy of a Shikon no Tama have to do with

Koenma?" asked King Yama.

"We have no idea, sir," said Botan. "Though, I'm sure Kurama has done some

research." The gang looked at Kurama.

"Hai, I have. Though, I only got the information on what the Shikon no Tama was.

It didn't tell me of it's birthplace or how it was made. Though, it stated that it was a

powerful jewel that could increase your powers a hundred folds. It can grant any wish, of

the owners desires."

The group was in awe of how powerful the jewel is. With that, any youkai could

take over Ningenkai, Reikai, and Makai.

"Was there any protectors or such?" asked Botan.

"Hai."

"Hn. Tell us." Hiei wanted to know more about the jewel.

"The first protectors were demon exterminators. They had protected the jewel, but

they had handed it down to a miko for they could not purify it."

"Purify?" asked Yusuke and Kuwabara.

Kurama looked at them and said, "Yes, purify. They did not want the jewel to

become corrupted, so they gave the jewel to the miko, Kikyou. It has said that she and a

hanyou fell in love, but they betrayed each other. They both died in the same die and the jewel

was burned with her, after she pinned the hanyou against the Goshinboku, the God Tree."

"Wait, Kurama, before you continue. Did you do any research on the Goshinboku?" asked

King Yama.

"Iie, but I'll do it after I tell you the story." King Yama nodded.

"Well, fifty years later, a girl mysteriously appeared there. She looked exactly like

Kikyou, except for her eyes. She also had broke the spell Kikyou had placed on the

hanyou. They even found out she had the Shikon no Tama reside in her, too. Though, a

centipede youkai ripped it out of her body. The inu hanyou defeated the centipede youkai,

but a crow demon shattered the jewel and..."

Everyone looked at Kurama impatiently. They wanted to know what else he was

going to say. "It just ends there."

"Well, I'll go research on the Goshinboku." Said Kurama. He walked out of the

room, and everyone just stood and didn't know what to do.

"I want to find out what happens next!" exclaimed Kuwabara.

Hiei glared at him and said, "Shut up you dolt."

Kuwabara glared at him and said, "Who are you calling a dolt, shrimp?" His voice

became louder, as he said each word.

Yusuke shook his head, as those two fought. Botan and King Yama left the room.

Yusuke soon counted in his head, 'Ten... nine... eight... seven... six... five...'

Kuwabara now lied flat on the ground unconscious. 'Well, next time I'll count down

from five.'

"Don't even bother, detective." Hiei left the room, as fast as a speeding bullet, but

faster.

! ! !

"I'm so happy, Koenma-koi!" exclaimed Kagome. She began skipping along the

road, and Koenma couldn't help but smirk.

"So, why are you happy?"

Kagome stopped skipping and turned around. "I won't tell you. Where's the fun

in telling you if you don't even try to guess it."

Koenma raised a questioning eyebrow at her. "So, are you happy because your

with me?"

Kagome gave him a sly smirk and said, "Maybe." Koenma was in front of

Kagome and slowly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Are you happy because you are with me collecting the shards, and we are

spending time together?" whispered Koenma.

"I don't know you tell me," replied Kagome. Koenma then had this mischievous

glint in his eyes. Kagome, though, did not notice it.

"Well, then Kagome..." began Koenma. Kagome looked at him questionably.

Koenma started tickling her, and they both fell onto the ground. Well, they started rolling

to the side, but the problem is to the side it was slanted, and it led to the road they were

before a few minutes ago. Let's just say they were rolling down the hill.

Laughter was heard from both of them, and they were covered in dirt, twigs, and

more dirt. They got up and started dusting themselves. "Don't ever do that again!"

Koenma looked at Kagome, very clueless.

"What are you talking about, Kagome my dear?"

Kagome playfully glared at him, "You know what I mean."

Koenma acted all innocence and said, "No, I don't. Which, 'Don't ever do that

again' do you mean?"

"Is it this?" Koenma began tickling her on her side. Kagome began laughing.

"S-s-stop! Hahahah!" Kagome couldn't contain herself. Koenma kept tickling her,

until after a few minutes. They were now lying back against a tree. Kagome's head rested

on Koenma's shoulder.

It was silent for a few seconds, until Kagome spoke, "Koenma-koi, did you tell

your father?" Koenma didn't look at her but stared at the sky.

"Let's just say I left a couple of clues. Though, I don't want them to find out yet."

Kagome looked at him questionably.

"Find out? You don't want them to find out about us?" Kagome rather felt hurt.

Koenma noticed the hurt tone Kagome gave off. "No, it's not that. It's just that...

it's complicated."

"How's it complicatd?"

"Well, I... I just don't want you to get hurt. You are the most precious thing in

my life. I would break if you get hurt. Many would use you as a weakness against me."

"So, being the ruler of Reikai is more important?" asked Kagome.

Koenma looked at her disbelievingly. "It is important, but I don't care anymore. I

do care about the Ningenkai and the people, but you are the most precious thing in my

life." Kagome smiled.

She hugged him and whispered, "Daisuki (A/n: I love you), Koenma- koi."

"Well, well, well, what a lovely couple I see here," said a new voice.
