I almost had a heart attack. No, seriously. See I have this sort of portable hard drive thing that keeps all of my stories on it. Well I plugged it in and the drive didn't register on my computer and wouldn't show my stories. So I kept going back and forth from computer to computer until it finally worked on the computer I usually write with. So I can update now and make all you happy campers, even more happy. Anyway I'm glad you all liked the chapter. I hope you like Kurama and Kagome's first…introduction.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho...and I'm also not influenced by Satan...unless it was Sesshomaru and I might be convinced.
Chapter 4
Devil Meet Fangirl
"Hey, did you hear about the new chick?" A tall, muscular ox of a boy spoke to one of his equally buff friends. Both boys wore smirks of arrogance while discussing some new chick. Not that Kurama cared. It was probably just another one of those air headed fan girls.
"Yeah, I heard she was mega hot with a killer body. I'm going to ask her out after school," the other ox replied, laughing at the perverse thoughts Kurama could almost see running through his mind.
"No way, dude, I heard she turned down every offer so far," another boy spoke up. "She even turned down Hojo when he asked her to the movies."
Another boy laughed and joined the conversation. "Yeah, I saw it too. She was pretty harsh. She practically had the boy in tears. She told him she would never mate with him because he was a simpering mortal and she didn't go for idiots."
Kurama had to chuckle at her choice of words as well, mentally applauding this new girl for not becoming a squeaking female like every other girl in this school. A girl? Yoko purred from the back of Shuichi's mind. What's all this about a girl? Is she pretty?
Kurama lowered his head and chuckled. I have no idea. I don't even know who she is, but she's obviously attracted a lot of attention.
I bet she's really beautiful, Yoko commented causing Kurama to roll his eyes. Mention something about a woman or a treasure and Yoko went into his 'pretty' mode.
The sudden slamming of a door, made him jump slightly, though his face never registered his shock as all the students jumped in their seats. Even the teacher had appeared startled, though she lost the look when a pretty black haired woman stepped into the class room. "Who are you?" the teacher demanded. "Are you Kagome? Why are you so late and that's a detention for you."
The girl in the doorway turned her attention off the prying eyes and glared at the teacher. Kurama's jaw dropped when he heard the woman speak for the first time. "Yes, that is my name and as to why I'm late that is none of your business mortal. And I have no time for this 'detention' as I have better things to do."
The whole class was silent before breaking into laughter at the angered look on the teacher's face. Kurama was the only one not laughing as both he and Yoko tried to study the strange aura coming off this woman. What, what is she? I've never felt anything like this in my whole life, Kurama whispered to Yoko who was staring intently at the strange female through Shuichi's eyes.
She feels like death, yet at the same time she's very much alive. She almost feels like the ferry girl who is so enamored with you, yet she doesn't carry the stench of death like that woman does, Yoko commented. And the way she speaks to everyone like she's better than them.
Kind of like you, Kurama joked to his counterpart, ignoring the annoyed growl from the spirit within. But seriously. Could she be a demon, possibly a kitsune in disguise?
It's impossible, Yoko grumbled. Kitsunes are able to tell immediately when another is in the vicinity and this one is most definitely not a kitsune.
The teacher had finally gotten over her stuttering and directed Kagome to a seat in the back directly beside Kurama. Kurama couldn't help but look her over since she was unlike any other woman he'd ever seen in this school before. She had long ravens wing black hair with blood red bangs. She was wearing the normal school uniform, yet somehow even the way she wore it screamed 'I'm different.'
Don't you mean 'I'm temptingly hot, take me now?' Yoko commented as he allowed his own set of eyes to look over the female, trying to take in her scent. "What are you looking at you puny mortal?" Kurama came out of his trance noticing right off the bat that the new student was glaring heatedly at him. Her blue eyes were narrowed dangerously.
Puny...
...mortal!
"I, uh," Kurama coughed. He'd been caught staring. He'd been caught staring at a girl!
"Well, speak up before I lob off that pretty head of yours and send you down to the fiery depths of hell," she growled and Kurama wasn't sure, but he thought her eyes flashed red as she was addressing him.
In the back of his head, Yoko was cursing the woman for calling him a puny mortal and daring to threaten him. On the outside Kurama never once wavered and simply apologized. "I am terribly, sorry, miss, I did not mean to stare at you. Please allow me to express my deepest apologies," he murmured quietly.
The woman quirked her head and lost the angered expression, nodding to him in thanks. "Just don't let it happen again and I'll let you keep your soul."
"My soul?" Kurama couldn't help but murmur, a little frightened that she might know of Yoko.
"Don't you know what a soul is, boy?" She questioned. "Everyone has one, most people just aren't aware of theirs."
He gave a sigh of relief. "I see." He turned back to his work, sinking into the world of history and trying to forget the fiery woman sitting so close in the seat next to him. It wasn't easy as Yoko continued grumbling and staring the whole time, not to mention that her heated scent was getting to both of them.
Kagome's head shot up and she almost threw a fire ball when the warning bell rang signally the beginning of lunch time. Not that she knew what lunch time was. She just knew it was when a bunch of mortals get together to spew secrets, screw in closets, and eat food. She grew excited since this was the first time she would be able to try human food. She usually ate meat down in hell, but Sango had told her there were much better things here which tasted much better than meat.
She materialized some money and managed to get through buying her lunch, even with all the people staring at her. However, she knew she wasn't going to last the hour if they continued their prying eyes. As it was, their human scents were beginning to get to her as she could smell the sweat and other bodily fluids produced by this race. She much preferred the red head's scent of flowers from before.
Glancing around Kagome noticed a door for an exit and through the windows caught sight of a few trees she would love to sit under. She picked up her tray, consisting of a triangle type food, an apple, and some stringy long potato things with cheese on top. She hurried outside and found the perfect tree, running over and flipping her body expertly up into the tree, startling a certain red head who had been hiding in this tree from the beginning of his high school career.
So startled was he to see her spring up like that, he almost lost his balance. As it was, Yoko's reflexes caught him from making an ass of himself and he quickly righted his balance. For some reason this woman enjoyed watching him squirm. She turned her head and spotted the red head from before, glaring into his eyes hoping she could scare him into leaving. She sighed when he never once lost his nerve. She narrowed her eyes even further. "You, leave this tree. I wish to eat this lunch in privacy."
Kurama's mouth fell open as she had the audacity to claim this space as hers when he and Yoko had claimed it for themselves. Before he could stop himself Yoko had sprung forth and snarled out a warning. "Hey, woman, why don't you leave? This is my tree, mine! I claimed it. It is mine!" Kurama shook his head as Yoko retreated panting in his brain as the woman just blinked at his outburst.
Suddenly Kagome burst out laughing, startling them both as she fell over onto her tree bench, a hand clutched to her breast bone. "Wah ha ha," she guffawed noisily scaring other teenagers away and even Kurama. "You're the first one who's challenged me like that in a very long time. You amuse me mortal. And for that...you may keep your soul."
Again with the soul thing, Kurama groaned. He watched as she turned back to her pizza and took a bite, only to spit it out again and stick out her tongue.
"Gah!" She cried out. "What are they trying to do poison me?"
"You've never had cafeteria food have you?" Kurama questioned before he could stop himself.
The woman simply nodded, pouting slightly as she dropped her food on some poor school girl's blouse. "Hey!" The girl called out as Kagome simply shrugged. Yoko thought it was funny since it was one of Kurama's fan club members who always tried to discover his hiding place. Too late now, the girl had finally spotted him and let out a loud shriek which sent birds flapping and caused Kurama to cover his ears.
Beside him Kurama tried to glare at the girl who had caused this only to see her clasping her ears as well and growling in rage. "What is that god awful sound coming from that wench's mouth? She sounds worse then those damn hell harpies."
He wasn't exactly sure what she meant by hell harpies, but Kurama fully agreed. He was surprised when she swung down and landed in a crouch behind the unsuspecting girl as she tried to climb the tree to Kurama's perch. "Woman-child!" Kagome screamed. "Cease that noise now and I will let you live." She grabbed the girl by her ponytail and slammed her face forward into the hard bark. She let the girl go just as Kurama jumped down to stand beside her in case Kagome got out of hand. She certainly looked angered enough and her aura was alternating between different shades of red. "Now you will tell me what you are screaming about now." The look in Kagome's eyes caused both Kurama and the president of his fan club to gulp.
Nevertheless an obsessed fan girl can easily over come fear if she is faced with the loss of her favorite hunk. "You were sitting with Shuichi Minamino without permission of his fan club," the girl stated bravely, while Kagome looked confused.
"And what is this fan club? And what is a Shuichi Minamino?"
The girl's jaw dropped while Kurama just stood there. "You were sitting next to 'the god' and you don't even know who he is?" The girl gasped in horror.
Kagome's eyes darkened and she fought to control her rage as she could feel her claws anxious to rip this girl into shreds. "The only God I follow is not this Shuichi Minamino person you keep babbling your ugly little mouth about. The only God I follow is the Kind of Darkness."
"King...of darkness?" Both Kurama and the fan girl asked at once. Then the fan girl began laughing. "You worship Satan and yet you call him the King of Darkness? Stupid girl, his name is the Prince of Darkness."
Kagome blinked. Just where had this girl gotten her information? "No the Prince of Darkness is my brother. Sesshomaru is the King of Darkness." She thought everyone knew that. Boy, the world sure wasn't up to date if no one knew her father was indeed the king and Souta was the prince.
Kurama and Yoko were very confused as they tried to figure out the meaning behind her words. Was she being controlled by her family or something? Did she really think of her father as the King of Darkness? Maybe she was being abused or tormented or something. She certainly had anger issues that was for sure.
Beside him the fan girl didn't quite know what to think of this new girl. For one she was delusional and for another...she was way too pretty. The only one who could have Shuichi Minamino was herself. Plastering herself to his side and startling him while Yoko threatened to come out and attack the bitch who dared touch their person, she stared up at him adoringly. "Shuichi-kun, you don't really want to hang around this little crazy bitch do you?" She whined into his ear, trying to bite it when she found herself thrust away and pressed down on the ground, Kagome's foot plastered to her back. Yoko was cheering while Kurama alternated between joy and worry.
"What did you call me?" Kagome muttered, holding the girl down even more when she tried to struggle free. Well, at least I know who this Shuichi Minamino person is. And he is not a God.
"I, I called you, a little crazy bitch," the girl spat out. "And that's what you are. You're just a slimy, ugly-faced toad who sleeps with men who only find you attractive because you're a good lay and-." The poor fan girl never had a chance before Kagome flipped her over, sat on her stomach and placed a clawed hand around her neck growling in outrage.
Leaning in closer Kagome let her eyes fade to red only when she was sure her hair was covering her face enough for the red head not to notice. Underneath her the girl's mouth and eyes widened in horror as the new girl's eyes flashed red and fangs appeared. "Listen girl," Kagome growled. "How would you like to make a bet with me?" Oh yes Kagome knew what she was going to do. She would kill two birds with one stone. She would steal her soul and get this girl away from the red head as she had felt his panic when she'd jumped him earlier. And now that he had her respect, she would protect the boy while she was here since he was the first one to stand up to her and not look away in fear.
"Wh-what kind of bet?" The girl whimpered in fear as one of Kagome's nails dragged down her cheek, creating a think line of blood.
"If you can prove to me in five minutes that this Shuichi Minamino really desires your presence I will concede and let you keep him for yourself." The girl's eyes widened and glazed over in lust while Kurama smelled her scent and wondered what was going on. He couldn't see anything but the girl's black hair as she bent over speaking to the girl softly. At least that's what he hoped they were doing. Yoko on the other hand was thinking those thoughts again, sending Kurama mental pictures of both girls going at it. "And what do you get if you win?" The fan girl asked, feeling slightly brave all of a sudden. She knew Shuichi Minamino really loved her. He just wanted to play hard to get for awhile. That's all.
Kagome grinned and leaned closer. "I get your soul."
The fan girl had to grin. Good thing this new girl was so delusional. Didn't she know that you couldn't really steal a persona's soul? That stuff was for the movies and to scare little kids.
"I agree. Now can you let me up?"
"Very well woman-child." Kagome let the girl up and made a card appear out of nowhere. The fan girl thought it was a pretty neat trick, where as Kurama wondered if she was some sort of magician. Of course the much darker half of his body had caught the instant flash of magic Kagome had produced and was now thoroughly suspicious.
"What's that, Kagome-san?" he had to ask.
Kagome turned to him and shot him the vilest look he'd ever received though for some reason, it didn't scare him. Worry, yes; scare, no. "This woman-child has made me an offer I cannot refuse. Sign it." She handed it to the girl who viewed it skeptically. It didn't have any writing on it, it was completely blank. She sighed and dug into her pink glittery purse and signed her name and handed it back to the now grinning new girl. "Go ahead convince me." Kagome sat down, leaning her back against the tree as she picked up her dropped apple and chewed noisily as she glanced in between Shuichi and the fan girl with something akin to mischief lurking in her blue eyes.
Yoko had a bad feeling and was trying to relay it to Kurama who was trying to avoid Misa Rugukashi's advances. But Kurama couldn't handle listening to Yoko at the same time as he was trying to not hurt the poor girl's feelings. She had flat out told him she loved him and then started running her hands all over his body. Finally when Yoko couldn't take it anymore, he forced Kurama to the side and spoke up in his stead.
"Look, girl, I hold no such feelings such as love towards you," he stated coldly taking Misa's wrist and flinging the girl aside. "I will never love you, can never love you. We are never going to be mates, you are not suited for one such as I. Leave girl before I destroy you." Kagome's eyes shot up when the colder more wicked voice broke through. What's this? She asked herself. She studied the boy again, almost dropping her apple when she realized she'd missed something; something important. This boy wasn't human and yet he was. He had a demon inhabiting his body. Was it a possession? No, he had two souls in one body. My, my, my but wasn't that just delightful. She wondered what this demon looked like. If he looked anything like he sounded, she was sure they'd get along famously.
Kagome looked at her watch and smirked greedily, standing up. "Thirty seconds, Misa Rugukashi. And I have yet to be convinced." Misa who had been crying ever since Yoko spoke those ever harsh words, suddenly glanced up and glared hatefully at the new girl who had caused all this. It was her fault Shuichi Minamino turned away from her. If she hadn't been here, Shuichi would have been less shy about his feelings and taken her to his bed. "You!" She screamed at Kagome who leaned against the tree, delighting in the rage she had caused.
Kurama who was back in control was berating Yoko for being so rough with the poor girl. You didn't have to say it like that, Yoko. You could have let her down more gently.
Oh, like what you were doing? Yoko bellowed back. If I hadn't have said something it would have taken twice as long and it still seems as if my words did the trick. Look she's piping mad only it's directed at that chick!
"Time is up, Misa," Kagome laughed walking towards her and holding out the card. "I believe we had a deal."
"NOOOO!" The girl cried rushing at Kagome and trying to smack her, while Kagome simply sidestepped the girl and twisted her arm behind her back.
"Your soul is mine!" Kagome growled holding the card out and completing the spell. It was too late, the girl's soul was tied to the card in Kagome's pocket along with the other millions of souls Kagome had collected over the years she'd been coming to the human realm. Misa's soul had bonded with the realms of hell and when she finally passed from this realm, she would be sent straight down no pleading could save her. "Pleasure doing business with you," Kagome purred releasing the angered girl and turning to Kurama whose eyes were widened once again in confusion.
"You must remind me to ask you later why you have two souls inhabiting just one body," she commented walking briskly by him, missing Kurama's face transform into shock once it registered what she said. Kurama spun around hoping to catch her and blinked when he realized she was gone.
She vanished? Kurama asked himself. Is that even possible?
Yoko growled and thrashed inside Kurama's head trying to gain his freedom to pursue the wench who had caused him to be confused too many times this day. She was a puzzle, no a mega puzzle, and one he fully intended to discover. It was obvious now that she wasn't human. And that thing with the card and some deal and of course all the mentions of souls and mortal. He was beginning to think he was dealing with something much bigger than some lowly demon. Was she a soul stealer? He knew there were demons who could steal souls, but that didn't appear to be what she was doing. For one if she really had claimed that girl's soul, the girl would be long dead by now.
What is she, Yoko? Kurama finally whispered in awed reverence as they both tried to uncover the mysteries of the new girl named Kagome.
I have no idea, Shuichi, Yoko growled darkly, gold settling more prominent with Shuichi's natural emerald orbs. But rest assured we are going to find out.
And that was it! So…did you all enjoy that fabulous introduction? And how about Kagome stealing the poor fangirl's soul. I thought that was a cool scene, because Kagome showed off some of her abilities, though Yoko was the only one who caught most of the magic use. Anyway I'd like to thank you all for reading and reviewing. I love you all!

I do hope you'll keep reading this story even though you don't like her speak.
