Last Time: (With Kagome)

Kagome looked at him through blurry eyes. As he was about to speak Kagome felt a portal surge, someone had just opened a portal nearby. Sesshomaru growled. "Come Miko we will continue this with in my lands" he said turning both took off running. Though Sesshomaru could run faster he had to stay with Kagome, who ran fast for a human onna.

Last Time: (With ReiTanTei)

"Since Toddler brains can't seem to stop shaking I'll tell you what we're going to do" he said, making Hiei wonder when the Human had grown a brain. "Your gonna take the dumbass home, and open a portal to Makai, for me and twiddle silent and diddle murder over there" he said jerking his thumb at Hiei and Kurama, Hiei scowled at the nickname, as did Kurama. Botan blinked up nodded and opened two separate portals, pushing Kuwabara in, she watched as the other three walked into the portal to Makai

This Time: (ReiTanTei)

Yususke grunted as he stood, having landed in a crouch when he walked through the portal. He looked at the to two youkai, before his eyes locked with Kurama's, something he rarely did. "Alright Kurama tell me" he said, gruffly.

Hiei looked at the detective wondering what he was wondering about, as was Kurama. "Yususke I'm afraid I don't know what your-" the red head started to explain but the human turned youkai just snorted. "I mean what is up with you and staring at Kagome like ya seen a damn ghost, you know her incarnation or something in yer Youko Life?" he said, stuffing his hands in his pockets she he looked at the red head.

Kurama blinked. "Something like that" Yususke narrowed his eyes. "Explain" he said, his aura spiked a notch, Making Hiei wonder if there wasn't something more to Yususke's feelings for the girl than friendship.

Kurama growled mentally. "I met her when I was Youko" he said, he hated talking about himself, it made him feel vulnerable. Yususke looked at him for a while then started off.

"Well then you better start telling me if you like her like you did then or if it was just a passing fling because when she finds out yer you she's gonna be the end of ya" he called over his shoulder, as he continued to where he knew Sesshomaru's borders were.

Kurama growled, and walked silently behind Yususke. Hiei raised his eyebrow at the detectives back, one would never know that Yususke was smart until he decided to show it. And it was times like these that made Hiei respect the damnable boy. In a blink Hiei was gone, form sight anyways. He stood on a tree branch before flitting off to catch up with Yususke a mere second later.

Kagome breathed heavily as she leaned against the wall of her bedroom. "Do you know who they were?" she asked Sesshomaru who was standing there like nothing had happened. "This Sesshomaru does" he answered, as he smirked, a small upturning of the left corner of his mouth. "Who then?" "ReiTanTei" he said and strolled out the room. Kagome shook her head. Changing into a pair of black pants and a black tank top she sighed. She missed Youko and Kuronue. Pulling on her jean jacket she walked out to her balcony. Long black tress falling in waves down her back.

Brown eyes stared over the stone railing at the ground bellow.

Sesshomaru growled, who did they think they were? Moving swiftly he watched as Yususke, Kurama and Hiei passed through his barrier. Yes he knew who Kurama was, but Kagome didn't.

Kagome sighed, jumping form her balcony he raced off, she could still sense the ReiTanTei and she wanted to know why Kurama's aura felt like Youko's. Was he an reincarnation? She shook her head, if he was she would avoid him she refused to fall into the same trap Inuyasha had.

She saw Sesshomaru waiting in the trees and narrowed her eyes, he knew something. Shaking her head she waited. She didn't have to wait long.

Soon Yusuke stumbled into the clearing, Kurama right behind him; Kagome looked up into the trees behind the two, there she sensed another youkai. Turning she walked out to glare Yususke and Kurama. "Why do you trespass on Lord Sesshomaru's lands?" she said brown eyes boring into Yususke he smirked.

"Aw Kags I just wanted to catch up with ya seeing as how you keep disappearing for weeks at a time" he said his eyes narrowed. "But now I know why, Kagome how long have you been dealing with youkai?" he said in a tone that held no room for argument, but then again Kagome had never been one to do as she was told.

The woman narrowed her eyes dangerously, gripping her fist she stepped forward, then she was gone. A mere second later Yususke was trying to block raging attacks. Kagome growled deeply in her chest as she slammed her fist into his cheek. Knocking Yususke to the ground and making his skid a few feet.

AS the dust cleared Kagome stood with her jacket thrown off her blocking Hiei's katana with her two daggers. Yususke sat up rubbing his cheek spitting out blood. "oi! Hiei! Knock it off!" he said as he stood and raced over to them just as Kagome let out a blast of Miko energy.

Yususke's eyes widened. "oh shit! Hiei!" Kurama looked at her, pulling out a seed from his hair he transformed it into a thorn less whip and flicked it at her, wrapping it around her wrist. The Miko energy burned it but it got her attention.

Kagome growled and turned she glared in disgust at the vine like whip around her left wrist, looking upward she saw a crimson haired male with green gold eyes starring at her sadly. His whole aura screamed Youko yet he didn't look a thing like her love. Whimpered she disappeared. Sesshomaru frowned, and left.

Yususke looked down at Hiei. "You alright?" he asked gently, the hybrid brushed it off and stood holding his stomach slightly. Kurama sighed and walked over handing Hiei and three left purple plant. The Koorime nodded and left.

Yususke sighed, and sat down, "Alright I want an explanation and I want it now dammit!" he yelled at Kurama. The fox sighed and sat down. "About 500 years ago I met Kagome" he said, holding up his hand to Yususke to silence the boy. "That is her story to tell" sighed he nodded as the male huffed and waited. "She was traveling to a near by village to help them with a laboring mother, she was a Lady Miko back then…." His voice grew slightly distant as he recalled it all.

Youko lounged lazily in a oak tree his partner in crime, Kuronue stood leaning under the tree. Yawning Youko brushed a silvery strand out of his face, frowning in disgust when he found black strand in it. Pulling it out he studied it. Before letting it drop to the ground. Jumping down he eyed his friend warily before looking at the road, where his friend's eyes were trained.

There was a young Miko, a beautiful one at that, walking down the road with a kit riding on her shoulder. Wait a kit! Youko's golden eyes widen as he turned his head back to the woman then to the kit. What was a kitsune kit doing with a Miko? Especially a strong one like this one? HE growled softly, he heard Kuronue shift. "They seem to be on friendly terms Youko" his friend said.

Youko looked back to star into violent pools. His silver ears twitched when he heard. "You feel that Kagome? I sense another kitsune! And a bat youkai too!" he smirked. As Kuronue rolled his eyes.

He turned his eyes back to the woman, she was wearing long blue hakamas and a black haori, with armor wrapping around her torso and shoulders. She had a sword strapped to her side with bows slung over her left shoulder, which was vacant of any armor.

She had her black hair pulled back in a high pony tail which shown in the gentle sun. Brown eyes stared at him as she paused. "Shippo" she whispered gently, her voice barely reaching the two youkai thieves before the wind stole it away.

Shippo smiled and scampered off Kagome's shoulder and attempted to jump down but Kagome quickly caught him in her hands. On her left hand was an eel skin glove. "Shippo" she said again a light face in her voice.

The younger kit realized his mistake and looked at her, before hoping back to her shoulder. Kagome walked until she was a few paces away from the two youkai. She seemed to study them a bit before smiling lightly.

Youko frowned. "Who are you onna?" "I am a traveling Miko as of the moment Youkai-sama" she said gently, she turned and nodded her head slightly to the darker companion of the youkai she was talking to.

The first, was defiantly a kitsune with long silver hair large triangle shaped ears and golden eyes. He had a long ankle length silver tail that swished every once in a while. He wore a simply elegant white tunic with white hakama. His skin was a golden tan.

His companion was pale with dark indigo eyes and long black hair with a black cap in which his ears stuck out of. He had long black wings folded behind him. He was gently swinging a red pendent on a silver chain. He had on a leather looking vest with straps and black pants and boots.

Shippo gripped her top tightly. "Are you mocking me Miko?" asked the first. She turned her eyes to him. "No, but since I do not know your name, I call you what I know you to be a Youkai," she answered, before stepping back onto the dirt path.

"Why do you travel with a kitsune kit?" he growled at her. Kagome looked at Shippo then back. "Shippo? He travels with me because he wishes to and because he is my son" she said confused on the relevance of the matter.

Youko's frown increased, the kit wasn't a hanyou so how was he her son? Shippo spoke up at this time. "Um, she means I'm her adopted kit, she hasn't adopted me in the demon way because we had no Kitsune witness" he added before hiding under her hair when Youko's and Kuronue's eyes turned to him.

Kagome laughed softly pulling the kit down and holding him in her arms careful log her armor. Youko nodded. "Well them Miko I am Youko and this is my partner in crime, Kuronue" he said bowing gently, as Kuronue merely smirked at her.

Kagome smiled gently. "IT is a pleasure to meet you Youko-sama," she looked at the bat. "Kuronue-sama" Shippo perked up. "The two youkai thieves!" Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Thieves?" she asked. Youko smirked. "As charged" Shippo grinned. "Kagome these are the guys Kaede-baba was talking about!"

Kagome nodded. "I see" She bowed to them before heading on down the path. Youko frowned. As did Kuronue both went after her. "Little Miko you might not want to go that way!" Youko said as he walked beside her.

Kagome stopped and looked at him. "And why is that?" Youko grinned. " There is nothing but dead bodies past that hill yonder" he said pointing to the hill. Kagome frowned and set Shippo down before walking to the hill, she smiled.

"Really, Kitsune? Then you can tell me what this illusion spell here is?" she waved her hand a purple sparks met a shimmering yellow barrier. Pushing a little miko energy into the barrier she watched as it fell. Under it was a village. "Monk talisman" the Miko whispered. "Shippo" The small kit scampered over to her and smiled. "Way to go Mama!" he looked intently at the village. Kagome turned back to the slightly stunned youkai. "Good Day Youko, Kuronue"

Kurama sighed gently. "After that I kept running into her and the kit, some times with Kuronue sometimes not. One time the kit came after me Kagome had been badly wounded, how the kit found me I will never know" he shook his head.

Yususke leaned back. "So the last you saw her?" Kurama sighed. " 500 years ago, Kuronue and I were just going to wait until now and them come and get her, but as you see it didn't work out that way" he said.

Hiei walked in at this time. "hn" Yususke grinned gently, it was getting dark. "Alright we'll crash for the night and go and get your lover tomorrow Kurama" he said yawning. Kurama almost blushed but didn't and stood.

Kagome sighed. And knocked gently on Sesshomaru's door. He opened it a second later, not saying a word he let the Miko in. The room was a small library. It was shaped like an octagon, with five walls covered in books shelves, each packed with scrolls and books or varies sculptures.

Walking in she sat down on one of the cushions that were laid out in a semi circle. Sesshomaru closed the door behind her, walking over to one of the windows he looked out and sighed. "Sesshomaru what happened to Youko and Kuronue once I left?" she asked, looking at him.

"They lived another 300 years but on one of their 'jobs' the bat got killed shortly after Youko died but for some reason or other he was able to put his soul into a human body without reincarnation" Kagome smiled softly, but mourned for the lost of Kuronue but at least Youko.

"What is Kurama, Youko?" she asked suddenly, Sesshomaru hesitated then nodded. Kagome smiled, "that's why he has the almost exact same aura and attacks!" Jumping up she sprinted out of the room. Running to hers she quickly took a shower, and changed.

She sorted through her closet before pulling on a long black skirt along with light blue haori. Smiling she pulled out a pink sash and tied it around her waist, sticking a long katana in it. Brushing out her hair she smiled at her reflection. Sitting down on her futon she pulled on and tied her sandaru on her feet before standing. The young maiden sighed, for some reason she was nervous.

Kurama leaned against a tree surrounding the clearing Yususke had chosen to stay in. Not that the detective was IN the clearing that was. He and Hiei had disappeared a while back; which was curious, the kitsune spirit had always though something was going on between the two but he had never had defiant proof.

Just then he heard a twig snap and female voice cursing. Frowning, the crimson haired male stood and pulled out his rose. Standing still he felt a tremendous amount of power coming his way. He waited, the energy disappeared but the scent got closer. Wait that was Kagome's scent! The green eyed male turned his head slightly, out of the tree line stepped Kagome, looking quit flustered.

Her pale cheeks were slightly red and she was huffing slightly, surely she wasn't that tired? "Kagome-san?" he asked gently, she smiled at him. "Wild boars, coming this, way" she panted and pointed behind her. Kurama nodded and walked closer before stepping behind her. Sure enough he heard the pounding of hooves and snorting of the boars. "So that was why you were running Kagome-san?" he asked as he changed his rose into a whip.

Kagome stood behind him. "Hai," she said, she said. Shortly after Kurama flicked the whip out into the darkness, with a snap he struck down the boars and turned to Kagome. "Kagome-san what are you doing out here at night?" he asked gently turning to face her. She was looking at the sky, she didn't answer him and at first he thought she hadn't heard him, reaching out he lightly touched her shoulder, warm chocolate eyes met his green ones.
