I'm back for my next installment! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. Oh, and I'm gonna start a new poll on either Hiei or Kurama, since I can't keep up with the votes. So I'm starting it anew, ok? You can vote once every new chapter. To tell you the truth, I'm still leaning towatds Kurama and Yoko. I luff them

Kurama

Yoko

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 they all stand to leave, you following. Once outside the office, Yusuke turned to you.

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

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

You look around at all the blank faces, even on Kurama and Hiei. Apparently, none of them really knew who she was talking about, until Yusuke broke in.

"What does Sesshomaru Inutashio have to do with any of this? He's just a business man." he said, frowning.

You blink. "Oh, so he is still alive. And from you say, he's doing pretty well for himself. Inutashio…that means he runs the Inutashio Corporation." you say in surprise. "I didn't think Sesshomaru had it in him to work with humans." you add.

"What! He's a demon! How come we never knew of him?" Yusuke almost shouted.

"Obviously because he has posed no threat to the humans of Japan." Kurama said before Yusuke could go on ranting. It was really quite annoying. "Anyway, one of us needs to find out where Mr. Inutashio lives. He might not have time to see us when he's working."

Before any of them could say another word, Hiei darted away, leaving them.

"Umm…I guess Hiei is going to find him, then." you said, shrugging. "So…what do we do until he gets back?" you ask them all.

Kuwabara and Yusuke look at each other before shouting, "Arcade!" and dashing for the portal room to the portal that would take them home. You look at Kurama, and he just shrugs before going after the two, though at a much slower pace. So you easily catch up with him.

At the arcade, it was packed, because school had just let out. Good thing your school wasn't near here, or you'd run into your friends, which wasn't good. As far as they knew, you were still in your coma.

You really saw no need to enlighten them.

You and Kurama found Yusuke and Kuwabara absorbed in some stupid fighting game. Botan and another girl was behind them, Botan cheering them on while the other girl was scowling.

"Who is that?" you asked him.

"Oh, that's Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend, though, neither of the pair will admit it." he said with a small chuckle.

You looked over at Kurama. "Oh, Kurama, you never said why you have two names." you comment, eyeing him.

Kurama looked around to make sure no one was close enough to over hear him. "Ok, Kagome, I must make one thing clear to you. There are two of me: the Suichi Minamono you know, a human, and Yoko Kurama, a ruthless kitsune thief, who is also a pervert. So be glad you will likely never meet him." he told you.

You frown. "Why are there two of you?"

"That's because Yoko was killed, but his spirit sought out a human embryo, me, and possessed my body. I suppose I could be considered a sort of hanyou. Well, no, not really, since Yoko is a full demon." Kurama said, then shrugged. "I really don't know. It's a bit complicated." he added.

You shrug, not wanting to pressure him or anything, and then spotted one of your most favorite games in the whole world: Dance Dance Revolution. Spotting Yusuke as he beat Kuwabara, you glided over. "Hey, Yusuke, how 'bout playing a game with me?" you ask him.

Yusuke looked at you over his shoulder. "Sure, what game?"

You grin wickedly. "DDR." you say.

Yusuke simply nodded, making you pout slightly. He must think himself good, then, you think as you and Yusuke walk to the game. You both put in your quarters, and the game was on.

Ten games later

"Come on, Kagome! One more game!" Yusuke pleaded as you won the 10th game in a row.

You looked over at Yusuke. He must hate losing. You shake your head. "Nope, that's enough Yusuke." you said with a smirk before going to rejoin Kurama, who had a small smile on his face.

"Yusuke hardly ever loses." he informed you, and you nodded in reply.

"I know that. But I'm bored now. We need something else to do." you say, thinking. You then got the most wonderful idea. "Let's go bowling!" you exclaim.

Kurama eyed you. "Bowling? he repeated.

"Yes. Now, let's grab Yusuke and Kuwa and we can go!" you said, doing just that by pulling the two boys from their game that they had just started, ignoring their protests.

Kurama's PoV

The game had ended ten minutes ago, and already Yusuke and Kagome were arguing. You were sitting at the table, observing the two while Kuwabara sat near you. The two of them, it seemed, had tied, and they were arguing over who had really won.

You thought it was quite amusing, while Kuwabara just stared at the two, not really comprehending anything. Sometimes you pitied him. Seriously.

But the bowling game had killed at least an hour, and hopefully Hiei would be returning soon. It never took him long to locate a person or thing, especially with that Jagan eye of his.

Acting as the mediator, since you were now getting tired of the arguing, the problem was soon solved, with both thinking each had won. Such was the skill of your speech. Now you all were walking Kagome home, since it was growing late.

True to your thoughts, though, Hiei appeared beside you suddenly, acting as if he had always been there. "I've found him." was all Hiei said before flitting off again.

You found everyone looking at you and sighed. "I suppose we'll go there tomorrow night. Kagome, just tell your family tomorrow that you'll be out late with friends. But not tonight. We will need t talk to Koenma first anyway." you told Kagome as they reached her house.

She waved at all of you from her doorway as you, Yusuke, and Kuwabara left, and you knew she watched you until you and the others were out of her sight. It was odd, but you always knew it when she was looking at you.

Shaking off the feeling, you said good bye to both Yusuke and Kuwabara and made your way home.

In the silence of your lone walk home, you suddenly became conscious of a humming in the back of your head.

What are you so happy about?

Who wouldn't be happy about seeing a pretty girl?

You rolled your eyes. Yoko being his perverted self again.

I wish she had worn tighter clothes today, though. She has a great body, she should show it off. Especially her—

Hush, Yoko! You tell him, cheeks getting red at the thoughts you felt going through Yoko's mind.

At least he did shut up, to your great relief, but once you fell asleep in your bed, your dreams seemed to teasingly taunt you with images of Kagome.

Ok, hope you all liked it. I seemed to write this one easily, not at all like the last one, which took me forever!
