Chapter 5: Fakes and Forgeries
Koenma's Office...
Koenma looked up to see the spirit detectives step through the portal, into his office.
"Guys I found out about a prophecy that-"
"WE FOUND THE WEIRDEST FACTS!" Yusuke bellowed.
"Guys! Ok, tell me what happened!"
"Well " Yusuke started "We arrived at the shrine and..."
"And then she pulled out a frozen over lily and tapped it twice! It became 'new' again! And here's the thing-Kurama tell them!"
"I heard the lily to be extinct by now, except for two, which was in the current possession of Midoriko, and mutated to become one! The only way for it to separate again is for Midoriko to give the user the flower and for the flower to be touched at the same time by the most trusted to each other. That this is rare! And that's not all-tell him Hiei!"
"Hn, she currently had possession of the 'Sword of Dragons' said only to be controlled by Midoriko and the ones she chooses"
"And she had a kitty called Kitaji! It was black and soooo cute! The little kitty looked really icy though," Kuwabara added. The rest of the gang rolled their eyes.
Koenma's eyes went wide. "And here is where what I'm telling you comes in, we have just found a prophecy andit is, as we speak, being translated into English. It seems that one of the youkai that passed by the office said the scroll smelt like Apaio Kurbam"
/That's my great-grandpa/
What?
/Apaio Kurbam is my great grandpa/
/No, really/
"Koenma sir, Youko has just informed me that Apaio Kurbam is his great-grandfather"
"And then that explains why another copy wasstolen andforged so well" Koenma picked up the now translated script, "It seems that since this scroll is 15 centuries old, some fragments of the prophecy was not able to get translated. Some parts of the prophecy were not true and some important parts were left out due to the poor writing they thief did. Here I'll read out what we can get"
"One day, a girl at the age of 18 and a girl of the age of 20 from the past will hold---------- of youkai-kind. These girls of long, flowing hair, raven and brown, and midnight blue eyes ((A/N: I'm not sure if the peoplehave blue eyes or not, but let's just saythey do in this story))are to live up to 800 years, along with their group of 15 others. 7, of which has been given a second chance ---------. Ifthey were to die, the-------------perish with them.They couldn't die unlesstheir flowers were to defrost------------ command.

This prophecy---------change history. Journeys will be------------------------ sisters will be strong. They will defeat the-------arise of evil,---------punish------------"
Koenma took a sip of water, "as you can see, we weren't able to translate everything but we're working on it. It could take months! The forged prophecy talked about a sword called 'River Shine' but this was a fake and nothing on this should be believed, for it isn't true. We don't know how the flower should defrost though. I checked the books andall it said was something about a broken heart and betrayal and some type of love. Something aboutloving one, and being broken with fear. I don't know. All we know are that the prophecy bearer's names areSango Taijiya and Kagome Higurashi. I also understand the two have been to the past. Research has also shown that umm.. Wait ah OGRE! GET ME THE PROFILE ON KAGOME HIGURASHI AND SANGO TAIJIYA!"
The ogre grunted and slid across the stacks of paper and took out two folders, handing them to Koenma.
"Kagome Higurashi-
Age:18,
Guardian of the Shikon no Tama,
Trained by Midoriko and Laputa,
Spirit Energy Level: Surpasses Midoriko
Miko Level: Surpasses Midoriko
Swordsmanship: Surpasses Laputa
Archery: Excellent
Purification Level: EXTREME
And...
Sango Taijiya-
Age:20
One of the Last Two Demon Exterminators Currently Existing
Trained by: Laputa and Hiraishi
Spirit Energy Level:Fair
Battle Energy Level: Excellent
Swordsmanship: Surpasses Laputa
Hiraikotsu: EXTREME
Most # To Ever Knock Out In Record: 12
So, as you can see they suit the prophecy! I'm not sure about the 7 given a second chance--at what? So I need you to go introduce yourselves at the front door and feel free to tell them about the prophecy and why you're here. I would advise you for caution because Kagome surpasses Midoriko, which means, if she's angry, I'd best tell you to do what I would do-run.Kurama, I think you'd be most pleased to know she has 500-year-old herbs in her garden and the Goshinboku tree is over 500 years old! Yusuke, don't be too protective of her, for if she doesn't like it that much, you may not survive... Kuwabara, I'd suggest that you can play with their cats, but ask first and Hiei, well you just do whatever... goodbye and report back frequently! Botan! You'll be going too! Open up a portal, oh and pick up Genkai along the way! Goodbye!"
Higurashi Shrine
The gang arrived to the sounds of chattering. They decided to listen in.
"Ok guys, Sango and I are in charge of this house and since you all are going to be staying here, we need some chores to be set, because we're not planning on doing everything alone while you guys wither away lazily"
"She's right you know" Sango added, "We'll be doing this every night to plan for tomorrow and everyone doestwo things a day. Also, we've ordered bunks for your rooms because it seems as though people are coming here like herds of cows! Just be thankful it's summer vacation guys. Now the more adaptable and knowledgeable people will be assigned to go out and do more complicated stuff. Here's tomorrow's schedule if you're not on the list at a certain time, then that's your free time"
Day Planner:
Sango: Make breakfast, grocery shopping
Kahyi: Sweep house floors, Wash dishes (Lunch)
Miroku: Wash dishes (breakfast), Set tables (All)
Kikyo: Pick herbs, Washes dishes (Dinner)
Kohaku: Clean your room, Rearrange fridge magnets
Shippo: Clean your room, Feed fireplace
Kagome: Grocery shopping, make dinner
Inuyasha:Firewood for fireplace, sharpen weapons ((A/N: Yeah, yeah let's just all pretend that theshrine has a fireplace, ok?))
Kirara and Kitaji - help out when you can.
Kagome finally says, "Ok guys! Now that we all know our duties, we have some changes to keep some rooms free in case someone comes in. Kikyo sleeps with Inuyasha,and Miroku sleepswith Kahyi. I just happen to have a bunk above my bed, so Sango's coming into my room. Got it? Ok! Let's reside in the living room!"
Outside the Door
The SD gang decides to make themselves known. They approached the front door and just before they could knock. They heard a "Shhh! I sense a youkai! Grab your weapons! Quickly!" then they started whispering something incoherent to the gang and then it was quiet. Yusuke hesitantly knocked on the door to the shrine. When no one answered, he knocked again. Still no answer. Then suddenly they heard a voice from behind them. 'Who are you and what business do you have here and this time of night?"
They whirled around to see a girl in a taijiya outfit, boomerang ready in case of an attack. On guard, they answered, "We need to speak with the shrine maiden here"
Two peopleat the front laughed; two monks with sutras poised in case of attack. "At this hour?"
"Yes" Kurama replied.
Someone to their right spoke up "Oh please, what business do youkai have at a shrine?"
They turned around to see a miko in a white and red garb. Then there was a voice to the left.
"Feh, no youkai that I know would even want to associate with a shrine, with people they don'texactly know, that is"
"Oh really, then why are you here?" Yusuke debated.
"I'm a hanyou, you baka"
Two growls were heard in the air. There were two transformed cat youkai were hovering above them.
"Could we just talk to the shrine maiden here please?" Yusuke started to get panicky. They blocked all sources of escape and Kagome wasn't here. The shrine here sure had some tight security.
Another voice came from the door, "State your name and business"
There stood the miko who wore a white top with billowy long sleeves like a miko outfit, and long, lavender jeans.
"Suichi Minamino, Hiei Jagoneshi, Kazuma Kuwabara,Botan Willinfillow, Genkai, and Yusuke Urameshi; come to speak with the shrine maiden about serious matters" ((A/N: Just making up some last names lol))
They watched as her eyes widened in surprise. "Yusuke?"
"Kagome?" They both hesitantly took a step forward, andthen launched their selves at each other into a tight hug.
"Everyone! This is Yusuke, my cousin; I haven't seen him in 5 years! Come in and have a seat everyone! We have 3 couches due to the huge amounts of people staying here"
Inside, everyone took a seat. "I missed you so much Yusuke! But what brings you here at this hour?"
'So, she doesn't know that I died...' Yusuke thought. "Well..." and he launched into an explanation about the spirit detectives and how they came to be.
Kagome's POV
I listened intently at Yusuke and absorbed all the information he told us. I could understand that the rest of the group was having trouble taking all this in. "And we're on a mission and that's why we're here, now I'd like to know how you know Tsubaki and how you came in possession of the Shikon no Tama?"
"Well..." I started, "It all began when I was 15..." As I told more and more of my tale, with the occasional hint and stop for the others to say how they came in, I realized the guy named Suichi was staring at me through and through. I grew a little uncomfortable and shifted in my seat. Although he IS handsome...Wait what am I thinking? Bad Kagome, Bad!
Kurama's POV
Kagome told more and more of the story, and into the part about fighting Naraku, and meeting Midoriko. I stared at her. How could such a beauty have to go through all this and even more in the future? It's hard to believe she's going to live for over 800 years.
/You're falling for her/ Youko mocked
Am not
/Admit it, the way you're thinking about her can't deny it, you're attracted to her/
Am not!
/(Sigh) You never admit anything/
/Well, I'm sleeping now, ja-ne, tomorrow/
Sango's and Botan's POV
They looked from Kurama to Kagome. Kagome to Kurama. (Lightbulb!) It's time to play matchmaker... Botan and Sango exchanged glances. They smiled evilly. Thisshould be interesting...
"Well Kurama, I think you should tell them about you, Botan, Genkaiand our mission" Yusuke said. "Well, ok" He answered and went in full blast about Botan being Lady Death and Genkai and Her Temple and the hesitated before talking about Youko Kurama. Then he explained about the mission and the prophecy.
"So you mean to tell me that Sango and I are the bearers of this prophecy?"
"Yes"
"..." The room was silent.
Sango was the first to speak, "Well, if you think about it, there are 14 others in this room leaving another person to come to our house I guess, better get another room ready then" she joked
Then it was Kagome who reasoned, "7 of which, had been given a second chance, well Youko gets to live n another body, Kohaku gets a life free from Naraku, Yusuke, I can somehow sense it in Hiei, Kahyi was resurrected and Kikyo is alive and well again, Inuyasha got unsealed from the Goshinboku... that's seven!" she cried out triumphantly.
"The defrosting flowers part may mean your lilies" Miroku reasoned.
"Feh, and your swordis made out of nothing but jewel, and so is the 2 daggers, they said Sango only had one and that's because Kagome has the other"
Kagome quickly took off the dagger and gave it to Sango, who accepted it with gratitude.
"Hmm... And the arise of evil may just be what Midoriko was talking about" Kikyo finished.
"Wow... what did they say?"
"Kuwabara you baka! If you had been listening, then you would've known"
"Actually, I was I got lost at the part where she said '14 others'" Everyone in the room except Hiei sweat dropped.
"Well then, I guess you're staying for the night?"
The group nodded. "Ok, then Botan and Genkai can take my mom's room, Kuwabara and Yusuke could take guestroom #2 and Kurama could take guestroom #3. Shippo and Kohaku are sleeping so please try to be as quiet as possible, I didn't mention Hiei because I'm assuming he'll take a tree like most youkai..."
"Hn"
((A/N: Ahem, guestroom #3, in which I failed to notify you with because I was saving it for someone, but in other words, it's there))
"Have a good rest everyone! We've got a busy day tomorrow!"
"G'night!"
