Chapter 10

"Why does he want to see them?" Kurama asked, looking at them. Kagome had a very bad feeling, but ignored it.

"Koenma just said he wanted all of you guys to come." Botan said.

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked looking at her friends.

"Spirit world, I'll explain later." Botan said and created a portal for all of the friends. Kuwabara stepped through, then Hiei and Yusuke. Kurama, being a gentleman explained

that, no the portal was not going to kill you, and help Kagome through. Afterward Inu-yasha, Miroku, and Sango steeped through. Kagome saw everyone sitting on a large sofa

with 3 chairs around. Hiei was on one chair, and on the sofa were Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara. Kagome sat next to Kurama and Sango and Miroku took the other chairs.

Inu-yasha preferred to stand near Kagome. Again, Kagome felt dizzy, something really wasn't right.

"Ok, I called you all here because..." Koenma started, but was interrupted.

"I have a preposition to offer you." A cool voice said. Kagome eyes went wide, she went pale, and she stood and started to back away to the spot where the portal once was.

"Yes, this is ..." Koenma started and was once again interrupted.

"Why in all the hells is Naraku here." Kagome asked firmly, but scared. Inu-yasha went in front of her and Miroku and Sango stood next to her.

"I don't know why you brought us here but I want you to take us back and leave us alone" Inu-yasha said.

"I don't get it?" Kuwabara said, earning a glare. Unknown to them, Koenma was pale because of this Naraku guy.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kagome screamed and went to her knees crying. Sango and Kurama went next to her calming her down.

"Ku ku ku ku, before we do that, as I have said, I have a preposition, a wager, to put it lightly." He said. "Meet me at you know where at you knows when. If you don't come

alone, you will be punished." He said.

"You can't threaten us, I'll..." Yusuke started, but didn't finish.

"Yes, he can. I'll come." Kagome said, and looked down.

"Good girl, see ya then." Naraku said, and disappeared. Kagome looked at the ground, tears streaming down her face. Inu-yasha started cursing Naraku. Koenma looked upset,

but scared. Sango kneeled next to her friend and started saying soothing words to her. Yusuke started yelling at Koenma and Hiei looked mad.

"Its ok Kagome, we won't let him hurt you." Kurama said. Kagome looked at him, tears streaked her face. He was next to her, knelling also. She smiled and hugged him. He

looked startled, but hugged back as she cried in his shoulder and hugged him at the same time. Botan and Sango both had a bubble above their head that said Note to selves, get

Kurama and Kagome together. They looked at each other and smiled knowing they thought the same thing.

"I'll put another portal back, here you go, ta ta!" Botan said opening a portal and sending them all through it.

((Later)This is in Kagome POV)

I woke up warm, and then I remembered earlier. A felt tear go down my face as I got up. I was to meet Naraku in the woods behind the school during lunch. I put on a red plaid

skirt and a white tank top with white mesh sleeves and back. (The back is just the mesh, no bra showing) I put on some white tennis shoes and went down stairs, a frown on my

face. It looked like Sango was making her famous pancakes. Inu-yasha and Miroku were talking, Shippo and Kohaku were annoying Kurama, Hiei was standing at the side, and

Yusuke and Kuwabara were fighting.

"Morning guys." I called from the stairs. My hair was still a tad wet from my warm shower minutes ago. Everyone looked at me and smiled.

"Momma, guess what, I asked Sango if you 2 could make a song about me, and she said it was ok! Can you, please?!" Shippo asked a pleading look about his face.

"Sure, but what shall we write about? The real you? Or the fake you that you put around the people?" I asked, smirking.

"Haha, funny." My son laughed sarcastically. I laughed and looked around. If it weren't for him, things would be better. I started to hum a soft tune and was think of a few words

from something, when I was pulled by my hands to the door. When I turned around, Yusuke was there.

"What?" I asked. He pointed to the road. There was Shippo and Sota playing near the road. "You 2, get back here, I'll whoop your butts so hard if you don't came here now!"

I yelled. They ran over and a second later a car speed by. "See, if I hadn't gotten you, you 2 would have been pancakes. I wouldn't mind, I am hungry," I got some glared from

them, "But what would I do without you 2?" Sota stuck his tongue out at me and I grabbed it.

"OW! Sish, shtopp it, dat hurth." He said as my fingers held his tongue down. I let him go and he ran away. I smiled at the scene that lay before me. Sota was chasing my

beloved Shippo, and he hid behind a couch. Inu-yasha was yelling with Yusuke who was having a staring contest with Kuwabara. Kurama and Hiei were talking as Kurama got his

books together. I sadly smiled and made sure they weren't looking.

When they weren't, I quietly closed the door and ran down the street. When I was sure no one was following, I ran down another street and got to a door. When I went in, there was

an elevator. I stepped through it and it took me up. There were no numbers, so I didn't know how far high I was going, until it stopped. I took a deep breath and walked out. The

sky was above me, so I figured I was on the top of a building.

"Kukuku, so you made it didn't you." Said Naraku. I cringed inwardly, but turned around outwardly. There he was, a slight breeze circled him. I glared at him and yelled.

"What do you want worm?" I demanded. I was freakishly scared, but I would not show it, ever. He had the nerve to smirk at me, so I glared harder.

"What have you heard about the dark tournament?" he asked.

"It's a battle, the winner team gets a wish." I said.

"Right, but have you heard of the second dark tournament?"

"..." I didn't answer.

"I didn't think so. It's even more difficult then the first. If someone doesn't die, no one wins. Your not allowed a substitute, and your allowed 7 on a team, instead of 5." He said.

He paused and stepped closer to me. "But here's a rule between us. Only one of your friends from the past are allowed on your team." I stopped breathing. The past, I had been

here so long I had forgotten about the past.

"Why are you telling me this." I said.

"Because you will be forced to participate in it." Naraku said with a smirk. I shrugged and he laughed again.

"You don't understand do you, you have 1 month to prepare your self and gather a team of 7. Ask your friends about it. They'll know. Oh, and tell them, I have a friend who says

hi, and that he's to stubborn to die." He gave a kukuku and was off. As he left the building started to collapse. I started to run to the edge, and by then the building was

crumbling. I closed my eyes and jumped off and onto the concrete. I heard him again. "If you don't show up then I'll kill what is dearest you, then yourself." I saw a big brick land

2 feet away from me. Some glass shards hit me and I got up and ran.

When I was far away I sat down where I was. I was 2 minutes from home, but I didn't care. I looked at my arms. They weren't too bad; a little bit of cuts from glass and that

was all. I got up and walked home. I walked in and realized everyone was looking at me.

"Where were you Kagome? We looked everywhere in the house!" Sango said.

"I went to see Naraku." I said dully. I saw eyes go wide and look at me like I was a crazy person.

"You shouldn't have gone alone." Kurama said to me.

I nodded my head no, "I needed to go alone."

"What did he tell you?" Miroku and Kurama asked at the same time.

"How bad is worse then the dark tournament?"
