Koei: Next chappie! Thanks to those who reviewed! And thanks animegurl5 for editing for me, it helps a frickin' lot to have a beta-reader. Oh, and I do hope Hiei isn't ooc, but I haven't watched the series in such a long time, plus I'm addicted to Naruto fics right now. And the reason I haven't updated is because I'm lazy, but who really cares?

Ryukotsusei - Yes, I suppose you can.

'…Kagome…'

'…Look-a-like…'

Disclaimer – I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha, dull, I know, so how about I add that if you do I'll take my flamethrower and fry you?

Black Blood Rose: Inside

The fire apparition had no idea why he had agreed on this. Oh, right. The damn Koenma said that he would add 50 years onto his probation if he didn't accept. So now he was on the outskirts of the Sunset Shrine, waiting for the girl to do anything strange.

Flashback

"Thank you for coming, Hiei." The Prince of Spirit World twiddled his thumbs uneasily at the glare unleashed upon him. He continued at the silence."Um yes, you know why you're here. To keep an eye on this Kagome girl." Coughing, he pressed a button on the remote conveniently located next to him, opening an electronic screen. A raven-haired girl popped into focus, brown eyes sparkling as she smiled. (school picture) "This is Kagome Higurashi, she lives at a Sunset Shrine. Some abnormal energy seems to be surrounding this general area." The screen focused on a part of eastern Tokyo, showing the circumference of the energy. "It is some sort of barrier, though not demonic in my reports. But it's manifesting wildly around where ever this girl is, mostly around her home. Kurama has also informed me of a natural barrier surrounding her too." Hiei, who had been glowering at the side, interrupted.

"So I'm to see if anything dangerous or strange happens." He stated.

"Yes, and report it to me afterwards."

"Hn." He would have acted kinder toward the buffoon before admitting it, but he had a small amount of curiosity about the girl. Though he still would rather not monitor a weak human when he could be doing more important things. But it's not like he had a choice.

End Flashback

The more time he spent monitoring this girl's movement's the more trouble he saw her as. As Koenma had said, there was a barrier surrounding the shrine, but it also burnt his skin like acid each time he neared it. Not only that, but there was also a barrier surrounding the girl's mind, addition to that there was some stupid look-a-like that chased him out with a glowing blue mallet. Her powers seemed strangely familiar to something he heard before... He pulled out a bottle of dull black shards from his pockets, a powerful aura glowed around it. Not to mention these shards he had found on her, these felt like something powerful, not to mention familiar. But to use things like these shards for power, were for the weak, he had no use for them. But why had the girl had them?

What was this girl?

OoOoOoOoOoO

While our favorite fire demon broods, let's see what Kagome's doing. Thirty minutes after the encounter with those two boys, she had bought new sheets and planned to bring them to Shuiichi's house after her party.

She had felt a strangely familiar sensation as she had reached the outskirts of the shrine, but it was probably nothing, like that blue haired girl she saw in the sky.

Sliding the door shut, she slipped out of her shoes.

"Oh Kagome dear, it seems you're back. I just ordered a new uniform for you." Her mother's head peeked out from the kitchen, smiling warmly. The smell of food wafted in after her. "I honestly don't know how you ruin so many perfectly good uniforms, that one was barely three weeks old." Oh, yes, school was tomorrow. She would have to find something else to wear. She
didn't want to go back now, now when Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka would be there to try and drag information out of her about her supposed two-timing boyfriend. Wincing slightly at the thought, her eyes dulled even more then they were.

"Sorry mom." She murmured, starting up the stairs before her mother interrupted her thoughts.

"When will you be heading back through the well?" Her mom queried. 'Not very likely I'll be going back.' Kagome's mind muttered bitterly.

"Oh, I got a vacation from shard hunting..." Her eye twitched for a second a realization hit her like a clock flying from an irritated teen's room. 'Oh Crap.'

"I'll be able to stay here for a while." Her visage was neutral, bordering on the edge of panic.

"Well then, you can stay for your birthday. By the way, my old friend Shiori and her son will be coming, she said that her son might bring along a few companions, if that's okay with you."

"Oh, that's fine."

"Kagome, are you okay? Ever since you came home you've been acting differently." Her mother asked worriedly. Kagome forced a smile only her face, nodding furiously.

"Oh, I'm great. No need to worry." Her mom just nodded, a frown forming on her face.

"Well I'll call you for lunch."(continuation from 'Crap.')

'Damn, I can't believe I lost (you probably forgot) the JEWEL SHARDS!'

Inside Her Subconscious

The eerie blackness drifted around her, walking forward quickly, she looked around for an exit. A sudden "Poof!" and her young
look-a-like appeared, startling her. 'It seems you're lost, need help?' Her cheerful voice echoed against the hollowness.

'Why are you here?' Kagome raised an eyebrow. It also seemed she could talk in here.

'I really don't know, but my guess is that when you land here, we can talk to each other!' The look -a-like smiled, sprawling onto the invisible ground.

'So why'd you appear now? By the way. What is this place?' The young girl in on the ground just shrugged and grinned.

'I really don't know. But the second question I do, this is your mind! 'Kagome's eyes widened partially.

'Is my mind really this empty?' The girl nodded.

'Yeah, but it isn't always.' She ignored the weird look Kagome gave her. 'And call me Kima, it'll be easier for both of us.' She added, lying on her back. Silence followed. Following Kima onto the ground, she hugged her legs up to her chest. 'By the way... I didn't have enough time before, but I'm not just a part of your emotions...' She leaned in to whisper, as if she were holding some great secret from the world.' I'm also, well, part of the Shikon No Tama.' Which it seemed she was hiding from the world. Silence reverted into an awkward state.

'So, you're part of the jewel?' Kagome fell onto her back, shocked.

'Yeah, I am. But I'm the good part of the jewel. Don't worry.' Kima added quickly. 'Oh, and the reason I have a human form or something is because I'm part of you too.' She smiled at the questioning look in the other's eyes. 'It was kind of obvious you would ask something like that.' Nodding, Kagome sighed, everything was getting so confusing.

'So. Is that why you know so much? But… does that mean you're part of… Midoriko?' She gotten herself together, mostly because not everything was able to get to her right now.

'Oh, so this means you believe me?' Kima smiled even more at a slightly gawking Kagome.

'I don't know, I just feel like. I should. You know?'

'Well, no, I don't. But still it makes it a lot easier to have a conversation.' She explained. 'I really don't know if I am or not... just that I'm here.' Kagome nodded her head slightly.

'Sort of. So does this mean you're a figment of my imagination?'

'Yes, if you put it that way. I'm still part of you. Just without any memories, but with knowledge of many things.' She grinned yet again, seeming always happy.

'But... you still have knowledge. This means you can teach me how to use my miko powers!' Kagome exclaimed, excitement bubbling. She would be stronger, the reason she had been compared to… Kikyo, was because she had been weak. He had always been telling her how he had always had to save her anger-overpowered sadness at the thought. She took her mind off her previous thoughts to others, calming herself.

'Well, I think I could, but the only thing I could do was to tell you was to do. The thing is, I can only channel purifying energy into this,' She sat up, and in another 'Poof!' A mallet was in Kim's hand, about half the size of Kagome and almost as tall as the younger girl. Sweat dropping, Kagome poked it from her position on the ground. Noticing the weird look coming from Kagome, she smiled. 'What? I can see through your eyes and hear what you hear when I'm in your mind, and when you and Souta watched a cartoon with this thing in it, I just had to copy it. And yes, I can make things materialize in here.' After a slight pause she continued, "So you know all the miko powers are in you, and all the knowledge of how to use them is in me." Did Kagome mention how irony loved to come and bite you on the ass? And how life was screwed? Sighing, she sat up.

"Great, so now how are you gonna train me? I mean, are you going to tell in descriptive detail of how to use it or right instructions for me?" She snorted at the idea, but Kima looked thoughtful.

"Well..." She was starting to fade from Kagome's view, light creeping through the darkness. "Oh, it seems our time is up. It's probably morning, so see you soon!" Grinning cheerfully, she waved and everything vanished entirely.

The sunlight seeped through her curtains, spreading across the bed and onto her face. 'Hm… Instructions. How to Learn Miko Powers 101." Kagome smirked slightly. "Sounds okay."

4 Days Later

The week of school had only one word to describe what it was. Hell. Her friends had been tracking her non-stop, asking questions each moment they could.

'How come you took so long to heal from a fever?' (Her mother had been sparing and had grabbed the phone out of her father's hands before he could come up with another rare sickness) 'I did you stay with your two-timing boyfriend?' 'How did you ruin your uniform?' 'Oh, I know. She probably was in bed with him ha-' Kagome shivered slightly, so many sick things had been said. But she still had felt even sadder, heart feeling torn again as she had remembered all the times she had been questioned by her friends after she came back for a test or relaxation.

But for now she was definitely relaxing the next day. Alone. (I think that Japan has 6 days of school, and the sixth day isn't necessary, correct me if I'm wrong) But today she would suffer through her birthday, being asked more questions and having some boy she didn't know over at her house while their mothers happily chatted away. There was a knock on the door as she entered the kitchen. Popping her head out into the hall, her eyes widened.

"What are you doing here?"

Ha! I bet you thought she would bring them to the well, but you don't know yet. Dun dun dun! So now you know about the girl. But she isn't really a girl, just part of Kag's personality. More to come about Kima. Sorry about the ending, it was rushed, but R&R everyone! And Hiei will give you a hug.

Hiei: Baka onna, I never agreed to that.

... As I said, review! Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know, Miko means Priestess and Kitsune (though not used in this chappie) means fox. I won't be using much Japanese, to troublesome to explain. Oh, and sorry if 15 year olds don't hold parties or what ever, I'm only 13 and have a limited vocab and knowledge of teens. So please fill me in on what teens do at birthdays. Oh, and constructive criticism is always welcomed!
