Disclaimer: You know that I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inu Yasha; but then, I'd have the series together and have Naraku killed lol not really (I like the Naraku/Kagome pairings). Well, yeah, I don't own anything but this plot, keyboard, and computer. The rest are either owned by my parents, Rumiko Takahashi, and Yoshihiro Togashi.
A/n: I forgot to mention more about the Himo Dimension! I am very sorry about that. It'll be explained in this chapter. Also, I hate my English teacher! (Don't ask… I just hate him!)
Last Time:
Refreshing back… Yomi and Kagome had met up with Katumaru and his group to go meet the chief elder. Now, let's continue on.
This Time:
Kagome felt nervous, especially walking behind Shiko, Katumaru, and his other men. She shuddered a bit, trying not to look down. She tried to focus her eyes in a certain place, but she couldn't help but just trail down with her eyes looking, looking… Kagome shut her eyes. The damned loin cloth didn't cover up much. She slowly opened one eye and scowled under her breath. The men in front of her didn't even help as much, as they should, neither cover up much.
She looked over at Yomi, studying his features a bit. It was surprising you could say that he was pretty good looking, even if he seemed to like his eyes closed. His long green hair looked so shiny, so nice, and so… silky. He was pretty tall compared to Kagome. Kagome halted in her thoughts and slapped herself mentally. She was checking the guy out!
"We'll be entering the village," said Katumaru, looking over to Kagome and Yomi. It seemed like hours since he last spoke. He then flashed a smile at Kagome, which made her blush. She scolded herself again, wondering why she was getting all flustered.
Kagome sighed, having a couple of the men looking at her. "Is there something wrong?" asked Shiko. Well, at least, someone is concerned about her.
"I'm quite alright," replied Kagome, giving a reassuring smile. "I just feel a bit… distress. Probably, it's because I'm worrying my friends and family." Katumaru nodded. His purple hair bounced a bit, due to the movement of his head.
As they entered the village, some guards greeted them with a salute. Luckily for Kagome, they were at least wearing pants, though straps that made a large "X" were wrapped around their upper body. The five men group saluted them back.
"Oi, Katumaru, where are you takin' them people?" asked one of the guards.
Katumaru smiled and answered, "We're taking them to the Chief, of course." The guards nodded, and they continued on. Silence followed the group, as they stopped by something similar to a clothes department. Though, it seemed like it was the men's one.
"What are we doing here?" Yomi finally spoke out, after what seemed like centuries. His face had remained emotion free the whole time.
"We're getting clothes for both you and the girl," replied Shiro, his tone so monotonous, which had irked Kagome. She shuddered, remembering Sesshoumaru, and all those times he wanted to steal the Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha. Though, he didn't seem all that bad since he had that little human girl following him around. Maybe, just maybe.
"Why would we need clothes?" asked Kagome.
Shiko answered, "It's because so you guys won't stand out." Kagome almost jumped at the sudden appearance. At a certain point, she did wonder what happened to the little girl.
Yomi and Kagome remained silent as they entered the department. The five men were greeted by five, Kagome almost choked as she saw girls around her age dressed in something more. Well, you could say it showed a lot of cleavage and their legs.
Kagome began to think what they will make her wear. She shuddered.
"I rather prefer to wear the clothes that I am wearing right now, since your village has no decency at all," Yomi said. His eyes were now open, showing pale purple eyes. It showed a bit of disgust, seeing how everyone was dressed.
Shizen sighed, as he removed his black shades. "That's what we always hear from our guests. Besides, it's not like we're showing everything." Kagome's right eye twitched.
"Well, not to hurt anyone's feelings, but I believe that Yomi and I should wear what we are currently wearing. It's because we're more accustomed to our own attire than to yours."
Katumaru smiled at Kagome once again. "Very well then, I suppose the young lady is right. So, we won't force our guests into wearing what we wear." Kagome could feel a heated glare from one of the men directed at her but ignored it. "We'll pass through here then."
Kagome smiled a bit, though felt a bit weird seeing that Katumaru was taking her side. Now, he was walking next to her on the other side of Yomi. She then felt his arm around her shoulders. "You seem quite tense," he whispered into her ear.
"Err… uhm… ugh…" Kagome stammered, as she didn't know what to say to Katumaru. She then felt a heated glare. The uneasiness just called out.
They had finally reached to where many people roamed about. The villagers were wearing pants… and shirts! She mentally glared at Katumaru. The hell! Why was he and his men dressed in loin cloths!
"Very amusing," Yomi stated. He looked over to Katumaru. "Your villagers cover so much, but why not you?"
Katumaru smirked. "It's because I like to see my men's asses." Silence poured over Kagome, as she looked at Katumaru with wide eyes.
"Quite an intriguing thing to say," Yomi responded.
"I know. Though, I was hoping for you two to join us with the bareness; but I guess, I can't always have it my way."
"But… it doesn't cover much," Kagome said, still wide-eyed.
"That's the whole point."
"But, the stares!"
"What about the 'stairs'?"
"The stares from the villagers!"
"Oh, I thought, you meant the stairs in front of us," Katumaru chuckles a bit, gesturing towards the stairs they had finally reached. "Well, I don't mind. It just shows they like my figure."
There was a bit of an argument between Kagome and Katumaru, as they walked up the stairs that had led to the Chief Elder's residence. The crew behind them listened amusingly, knowing Kagome had lost but had a good point.
Finally, they reached the last steps. "I still won," said Katumaru, amused at the glaring Kagome.
She stuck her tongue out at him. Katumaru chuckled and ruffled Kagome's hair. He walked towards the temple that lay before them and disappeared into it.
It was only a couple of minutes (which seemed like hours) that he finally came out. He came out with someone that looked so similar to…
"Kurama…" Yomi was bewildered.
The man smiled. "That is my name. Though, I'm guessing you and that girl were the intruders outside the village."
