Hey guys! I'm back with this one. Dunno why it took me so long to write. But that's ok. I hope this one is as good as the other three, but I have my doubts. Anyway, tell me what you think.

The day dawned cold and cloudy and there was no sun to be seen. And it fit your mood perfectly. Last night when you had returned home, you had discovered that the shards were missing. So someone had taken them, but who? You supposed it could have been that Suichi, but you doubted it.

"Kagome! Time to eat!"

You sighed. Breakfast then. You quickly dressed, putting on a comfy blue sweater that was way too big for you and a pair of comfy cargo pants. You then finished brushing your hair then made your way slowly downstairs.

You found her plate piled high with food. Well, you supposed you were a bit thin from not eating, so you suppose your mother wants you to gain your weight back. And you was happy to do so, finding yourself very hungry. So your plate was spotless when you had finished.

But you had just disappeared upstairs when you heard your mother calling for you again. You sighed, tying up the laces to your black boots before going downstairs. You didn't usually where clothes like this, but today you just felt like wearing them. Later you would go back to bright colors and skirts.

To your surprise, your mother beckoned you to the door. "That young man who took care of you is here." she told you before disappearing into the kitchen.

You turned, your blue eyes meeting his green ones. "Why are you here?" Whatever it was must be serious from the look on his face.

"Kagome, I need to talk with you. Would you please come with me?" Suichi requested of you.

Frowning, you nod. You called back to let your mother know you were going out for a while before shutting the door, following Suichi. He led you to the park before stopping and resting at a bench. You plop down beside him, gazing at him, wondering what he was going to say.

"Kagome, the first thing you should know is that…" "…you are a demon, I know. I can feel you aura." you broke in, interrupting Suichi, who eyes widened ever so slightly.

"That can't be. I shield my aura very well." Suichi protested.

"Well, not well enough it seems. I can feel it easily." you said, then paused. "And another is heading this way at a very fast rate." you add, frowning. But the aura seemed somewhat familiar.

"Oh, I know who it is, don't worry about it. But now, I need to tell you a few things. There are no demons here in this world, well, few demons anyway, because the world split off into three, the demons going to Makai. There is also Rekai, or Spirit World, and this is now called Nigenkai (My spelling might be wrong here.). I am a Spirit Detective and I work for the Prince of Rekai, as do three others, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. Hiei is a fire demon. Yusuke is part demon (I'm not sure what kind, haven't seen that episode), and Kuwabara is human, though a psychic. He can use his spirit energy. Now you, you are a miko. And I am to take you to see the Prince of Rekai."

You nod. "I knew I was a miko. But, why would this prince wish to see me?" you ask him.

"Because there hasn't been a truly powerful miko in existence for years." he replied. "There must be some special reason, so he wants to find out why. He hopes that by talking with you he will be able to figure it out."

"Ok then, how do we get to the..Rekai was it?" you ask.

"By portal." Suichi said simply.

Before you could say anything else, there was a pop and smoke. When the smoke cleared, a woman with blue hair and pink eyes was there, sitting on an oar and dressed in a pink kimono.

"Oh, hello Kagome! Kurama has told me so much about you! Oh, but no time now, we're going to be late!" she said.

You glance over at Suichi. "Kurama?" you ask.

"I'll explain later Kagome, we need to go through the portal."

You frown, but when you turn to look, there is now a black hole in the air. "Come on." Suichi said, grabbing your hand and pulling you with him. Following you was Botan, and at the last minute, the demon who had that energy you sensed earlier.

You stepped out into a large, castle-type building and looked around. A very nice pad. Suichi hurried you down the hall so you two wouldn't be late, but you almost stopped when a black blur went by, the demonic aura you had felt going with it.

"Who was that, Suichi?" you ask.

"Oh, that was Hiei. He helped me to wake you up. But, here's a word of advice: whatever you do, don't laugh when you see Prince Koenma."

But then you two had reached two very large wooden doors. Suichi opened them and led you inside, you wondering what there might be to laugh at.

/Kurama's PoV/

When you led Kagome in, you felt her stop. Glancing back at her, you could only shake your head. It was obvious that she was trying not to laugh. Koenma really should have changed into his older form. But it was too late for that.

You led Kagome to a seat, then sat down yourself. Seeing her curious glances at the others, you decide that introductions are in order.

"Ok, Kagome. You should know Hiei already." she said, pointing to him. You waited for her nod of acknowledgement before continuing. "That one there is Yusuke, he is our Captain. And the one beside him is Kuwabara."

You all turned to face Koenma as he cleared his throat.

"Kagome. Kurama has explained things to you I presume?" he asked, then waited for her nod to go on. "Well, it is a mystery to us why you are so strong in your holy powers. It is essential we find out. So…" but he stopped when Kagome tried to speak up. "Yes?" he asked, a little annoyed at being interrupted.

"Sir, I think I know why I am so strong. You have heard of the Shikon no Tama, yes?" she said.

Koenma nodded. "Yes, we even have a few of the shards in the vault here. Why it is not whole as it should be, I don't know, but there are legends telling of a priestess who broke the shard, but I know no more than that."

Kagome nodded. "Yes, that is all true. I am the one who broke it." When she saw their looks of disbelief, she continued quickly. "I have the ability to travel back in time. I had the Shikon no Tama in me, but it was taken from me by a centipede demon. I got it back, but then lost it to another demon. To get it back, I shot an arrow at it, but the arrow hit the jewel instead and broke it. I have been looking for the shards for a while now, though another demon has shards as well. We were trying to stop him."

"Where are the shards you've collected, Kagome?" Koenma asked.

"That's the problem. I don't know. When I woke up from my coma, I didn't have them."

"Kagome, that demon who kept you in a coma, did you know him?" Koenma asked.

Kagome nodded. "Yes. He was the demon we were trying to destroy in the feudal era. But somehow he has survived to this time, but he doesn't have the whole Shikon jewel thankfully. But I need to find out what went wrong, why he isn't dead like he should be."

As Koenma thought on this new problem, you couldn't help but look at Kagome in awe. She went back in time, to a dangerous time, might he add, to collect shards from demons who would just love to kill her since she was a Miko.

Koenma's voice drew you back to the present and away from your thoughts.

"Kagome, I will assign the team to you. Find out what happened and if you can locate your stolen jewel shards. And you guys will protect her. Who knows when that demon will be back after her."

You, as well as the team, nods and you all stand to leave, Kagome following. Once outside the office, Yusuke turned to Kagome.

"Have any ideas on where to start looking?" he asked her.

"Well, we find someone who was alive then who might know what happened. So, have any of you heard of Sesshomaru?"

I hope you guys enjoyed it. Merf. Still wish I could put up Siren Call. I have no idea why it was erased and I got an infraction for it...sigh
