Hey, guys, I'm back. Sorry, I haven't updated recently but as you know fanfiction's been off a bit lately and I've been having trouble with my computer too. Anyway, this is a new story I started a little bit ago but couldn't post till now. I'm not going to tell you what it's about, only that this fic consists of Kagome, Kuronue, Yoko, and a lamp. So, please read it. I promise you all will love it. And please be patient with me. I'll try to update some more tonight.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything....but someday....

Chapter 1

"This is it!?" A tall, demon-bat dressed in black screamed to his best friend and partner, of which he was pretty sure their partnership was now null and void. "You went out shrieking about finding the world's greatest treasure and you bring home, this?!" The bat continued his mad pacing in hopes that it would calm him down. Across the room, a silver kitsune lay spread out across his couch, only half listening to his ranting friend.

"So, I lied a bit," Yoko shrugged casually. "I wonder what it is." Yoko picked up his latest catch from where it had been thrown in Kuronue's rage. It was a small bottle, wide at the bottom and narrowing towards the top. The top had some kind of cork in it and on the side there was a strange kind of writing in it.

"Who cares what it is!" Kuronue shrieked. "Yoko, you were supposed to go and get all the gold and wonders that you could find."

"Well, I'm sorry," Yoko was now annoyed. "When I went there this was the only thing left in the room. There was nothing there, nada, this was all that was left."

"Then why did you bring it back?" Kuronue asked, stopping in his tracks to glare in disgust at the small lamp.

"Well," Truth be told Yoko really didn't have an answer. He truly had meant to leave it there and go elsewhere, but one glance at the lamp made him turn back. "I can't explain it. I just had to have it. It called to me. Look, I'm sorry. We'll go out tomorrow night and look for something else, something better, and something more useful than this."

Kuronue sighed and slowed his breathing. "Oh all right. I suppose it wasn't entirely your fault."

"That's right," Yoko said arrogantly. He was still playing with the lamp, twirling it about in his hands. Kuronue glanced at it and curiosity got the better of him when he noticed the strange written writing on the bottle.

"Let me see that," Kuronue stated. He began reaching for the bottle when Yoko snatched it out of his grip.

"Now why would I let you have me treasure when just a few minutes ago you were screaming at me about picking up this so called, 'useless' artifact?" Yoko asked mockingly.

Kuronue just rolled his eyes. "Trust me, I'm not going to steal it from you." Kuronue glared in disgust at the dusty brown bottle. "You can count on that."

"Oh, all right," Yoko handed over the strange bottle and allowed Kuronue to inspect it. Wordlessly, Kuronue accepted it and turned it over in his hands, trying to read the writing. When he was satisfied that he couldn't read it and this was a waste of his time he was about to hand it back to Yoko when a word caught his eye. Curiously Kuronue bent down, as Yoko caught the movement.

There was a brass plate that read, "Kagome."

"What are you looking at?" Yoko demanded after awhile. "Surely my treasure has caught the great Kuronue's attention."

Kuronue growled at Yoko. "There is a name on this lamp, must be the owner's," he decided. He brushed a finger across the nameplate, smudging away the dirt and grime, to at least cause a little shine in such a drab artifact. Satisfied with his results he once again went to hand Yoko back his 'treasure' when suddenly the bottle started shaking in his hands.

Startled Kuronue dropped the bottle as it began making weird hissing noises as smoke began pouring out in waves. "Hey, what did you do to my lamp?" Yoko almost whined thinking Kuronue broke it.

"I didn't do anything to it," Kuronue insisted. The room began to get heavier and heavier with the spreading smoke causing both demons to cough violently. There was a sudden blinding flash and then suddenly the hissing stopped and the room started to clear. A moment later a shriek, not unlike that of a woman's pierced the night as a figure in black began bouncing around the room.

"Wahahahahaha!" the figure laughed. "I'm free!!! I'm free, oh, I'm free!!!!!!!!"

Yoko jumped to his feet next to Kuronue as both demons now stared at a grinning, black haired woman. Suddenly she stopped jumping and whirled around. She was grinning happily as she glanced from one to another. "Oh, where is he! Where is the one who has awoken me at last?" she shrieked. Kuronue stood in stunned silence as the strange woman made a beeline straight to him and….hugged him. Stunned, he could do nothing but stand and stare in horror as Yoko chuckled under his breath. No matter how strange the situation was, he thought the look on Kuronue's face was hilarious.

Trying to get some of his dignity back, Kuronue pushed her away almost harshly however she didn't seem to notice as she was still smiling. "Woman, who the hell are you, how did you get in here?" Kuronue demanded.

The woman continued smiling. "Why I came from my bottle that you must have rubbed," the woman said, as if that explained everything.

"You came from a bottle?" Yoko questioned. Then his eyebrows shot up. "You mean this one?" he asked holding up her lamp.

The woman squealed happily as Yoko and Kuronue held their ears. Kagome snatched the bottled out of Yoko's hands before he noticed. "Yep, that's the one," she kissed the bottle lovingly. "Now, what are your wishes?"

"Wishes?" Yoko asked.

"Why sure." He woman snapped her fingers as a card magically appeared in her hand. She handed it to Kuronue, who read it skeptically.

Kagome Higurashi

Genie of the Lamp

10 wishes

Kuronue turned the card over, which had a few various rules that he couldn't seem to read at the moment.

"You're a genie?" Kuronue turned to her, one eyebrow raised at her choice of clothing. The genie glanced down at her self. She was dressed all in black with a half top, and pair of black tight pants.

"Why, yes, is there something wrong? Perhaps you would believe me if I looked more like this?" Kagome snapped her fingers as her clothes changed in the blink of an eye. She was now wearing greenish blue baggy pants, (her outfit looks like Princess Jasmines, only different colors) and a matching top. She wore a silver necklace and several silver bracelets on her wrists and ankles.

"Wow," Yoko murmured, before he could stop himself. A moment later, his face broke into a grin. "So, you're a genie? Does that mean I get to make some wishes?"

The woman turned to him and smiled. "Well, it would be, but I'm sorry to say your friend here was the one who rubbed my home, so in actuality it is him that gets the wishes."

"Awe," Yoko pouted. "That's not fair. I'm the one who found your lamp, it's mine."

Kagome laid a gentle hand on the kitsune's arm in comfort. "I'm really sorry, but it you're lucky, maybe your best friend will wish something for you." Yoko was still dis-hearted over not getting all the wishes, but at the prospect that maybe Kuronue would make a wish for him, made things a little brighter.

"Wait, a minute, hold the phone!" Kuronue almost shouted. "Let me get this right. You're genie," he pointed to Kagome who nodded, "you came from that," Kuronue pointed next the bottle held in her arms, "and I get wishes?"

Kagome shared and amused glance with Yoko. "Is he always so distrusting?" Kagome turned and walked over to her new master. "Kagome Higurashi, that's me! Now what would you like to wish for master?"

"Master?" Kuronue repeated.

"Well, yes, you rubbed my lamp, which makes you my master." Kagome was a getting a little annoyed with her new master. What is it exactly he didn't understand? Most people, upon hearing that they had found a genie understood perfectly and were quick to wish.

"Wait a second," Yoko said interrupting her thinking. Kagome turned to him curiously. "You said that he gets ten wishes, I thought genie's granted only three wishes."

Kagome grinned wryly. "Why, that's so over rated. You've been watching too many movies in the ningen world. You see there are certain levels to every genie. Currently, I am a tenth level, which means I've risen from the first level of one, which was five hundred years ago for me. Every one hundred years two wishes are added, so naturally after five hundred years the wishes have added up, bring it to its current total of 10 wishes."

Yoko and Kuronue, who was now a little more calmer, mulled over her information. Finally Kuronue sighed. "Look, this has been a long day. Could you give me a couple days to think this over?" he asked of Kagome, who had been studying her nails, while perching on the shoulder of their couch.

"What?" Kagome glanced up. "Oh, sure, whatever you say, you're the master. If you need me, just rub," she said before disappearing in a poof back to her home.

"I would love to," Yoko murmured, and Kuronue new he wasn't thinking about the lamp.

Thumping his friend firmly on his head, Kuronue stalked off to his bed room, while Yoko glared after him.

So, what'd ya' think? Was it good? Not so good? Terrible? Awesome? Well, tell me what you think, by reviewing!
