Chapter One

--- Kurama's POV ---

I was sent to investigate the portal that opened up over a park that was closest to my house. Botan had said that they it had just popped up and as quickly as it came disappeared. I had taken my time since there was no report of a youkai or anything. So before I left I had finished my homework and read ahead three chapters in the book my advance English class was reading. Making sure that I had done the summaries with them and that mother was a sleep. It had only taken three hours to do all of it so I wasn't worried at all.

The park was a little more than an hour away so I used my speed to get there a little over fifteen minutes. As soon as I stopped long enough to catch a whiff of the air it smelt of pure blood. Taking note that it was coming from the tennis courts. I headed over there and found a nearly dead woman. Her body was battered and broken as if she had been tortured since none of the wounds could cause immediate death. Picking her up it looked as if she had been awake and finally went unconscious.

I contacted Botan and told her I needed a portal to Spirit Infirmary. One opened, quickly but carefully I set the woman on a bed and called for a doctor.

Three Months Later

The others were finally able to see the woman I had found with Koenma in the lead. We left his office after coming back from a simple mission. All of them were anxious to see the woman that had been kept from everyone except for three people. Botan and Yukina were brought in to help heal the mysterious woman. I can only remember so many injuries that I had found on her myself. But, it was clear that internal damage was done, too.

"Geez this place even smells like a hospital. You think you could do somethin' about it oh Great Toddler." Yusuke was nervous about being in the hospital and Kuwabara was the same way. Hiei seemed to hide his discomfort well though as he kept scratching at the hilt of his katana.

Yukina came from a room three doors away motioning for us to come in with her hand. Quietly we all entered the room. There laying in front of us was a much healed version of the face that kept haunting my dreams. Three months and she still looked as if she was near death, but something about her compelled me to call her beautiful. Hearing no disagreements I could only assume that Youko and Shuichi agreed with me.

Practically glowing with the powers of hers, only one thought struck me after that, Sleeping Beauty.

---Normal POV---

Yusuke moved to a seat in one of the corners of the room as he studied the woman of the month. "Hey didn't you say she was in here for three months? She looks as if she just got here." Kagome had stitches littered all over her including the huge scar on her face. Her pale skin could only be matched by a ghost. Bruises were still healing in numerous places and blood scented heavily in the air.

Yukina sat down on the seat next to him. "That is true, but now can you imagine how she looked in the beginning. Yukina and Botan have been giving it their all for three whole months. The miko just recently got to the point where her powers could start healing her. In the beginning there was only enough to keep her heart going." Koenma explained to the detective.

"So what the hell happened to her?" was Yusuke's next question. No one knew the answer so they just kept quiet. Hiei began to twitch first just noticed by Kurama. "Hiei what's wrong?" Everyone could see him twitching. Trying to get his attention he Kurama called to him again. "Hey Hiei." He suddenly doubled over with a look a pain on his face. Just as fast as the commotion came to a halt as Hiei passed out. "Hiei!"
