"Ka... gome?" said a disbelieving Karasu. Kagome stared at him and gasped. A
white light engulfed her. Everyone in the stadium had to shield their eyes because the
light was so blinding.
The light died down to reveal... not a human Kagome but a...
This Time:
Kagome stood there wearing a white kimono with a red sash. Eyes turned from
chocolate brown to dark blue hues. Her hair grew up to her waist, and it looked as the
same color as Karasu's. She sprouted white angelic wings, which now glistened under the
sun.
She felt immense power rushing through her. White and black energy swiveled
around her. It swept through the stadium and soon returned to her.
As soon as she felt her energy returned to her, she stared at Karasu and Kurama.
"I'm tired." She then collapsed. Kurama calmly walked towards her to pick her up.
"Don't touch her, kitsune," spoke Karasu in a calm yet threatening voice.
Kurama was surprised to hear Karasu speak like that. "She is nothing to you,
Karasu."
Karasu smirked under his mask. "Oh, is that right, Kurama?" His voice ever so
calm. "After all, I did say her name. I knew her before you even knew her yourself. I
have watched you, since you first laid eyes on her. Helping her in anyway, you could. I
saw you hold her close to you, giving warmth and love. Though, I like you Kurama, I
despise you."
Karasu walked up to Kurama, now arms length away from him. "You were
always near Kagome, when I couldn't be. You were the one to be able to hold her, when I
was far, far away in Makai. You were the one to help Kagome with all her problems,
when I could never do that for her. I could never do all those things for Kagome, my
Kagome; and yet, you were the one who did all these for Kagome."
Karasu slowly removed his mask, making everyone surprised. "Though, as much
I detest you, I envy you." Karasu's violet eyes stared into Kurama's green orbs.
Kurama's eyes widened. Karasu, his enemy, envied him?
"All, I ever wanted was to make Kagome happy. I know she was happy being
near me, but I knew she was not truly happy. When her family died, I could not even do
anything for her." Karasu stared at the ground in shame. His fist clenched by his side.
"Before I brought her to the Higurashi family, I tried summoning up the courage to tell
her how I felt." Karasu looked at Kurama again. "I couldn't even tell her. Those simple
words. I know, demons are not supposed to feel this emotion. Yet, she, Kagome, is the
one that made me feel it."
"As much as for me liking you, you just remind me so much of Kagome. Her
kindness, and her love and affections. Her bravery and spirit. Everything about you
reminds me of Kagome. It makes me still feel the regret I felt." Kurama did not even
know what to say. Well, the whole crowd was still silent.
Silence filled the whole place. That is until Juri-san spoke. "The match will be
discontinued for today!" announced Juri-san.
In the audience, you could hear complaints being thrown everywhere by all the
demons. Juri-san was unaffected as usual. Koto-san, speaking for the crowd, said, "Do
you think it is necessary to do that, Juri-san?"
"Hai. In the rulebook, it says, 'anything interferes the match will have to be
postponed.'" Koto looked in the rulebook and sighed.
"Juri-san is correct. I am sorry. The match will have to be postponed to tomorrow
in the afternoon." Grunts and complains are the only things the audience were doing.
However, they could not protest any longer and were leaving the stadium.
Karasu stepped towards Kagome, but Kurama blocked his way. "I don't trust you
with Kagome, Karasu." Kurama glanced at Kagome, before returning his gaze to Karasu.
Karasu just merely raised an eyebrow at him. "So you don't believe me that I
won't hurt Kagome?" Kurama looked sternly at Karasu.
"How could I trust you with Kagome?" asked Kurama. He knew that he did not
have to ask that question, but he didn't like the idea of Karasu to touch Kagome.
Karasu smiled under his mask. He could see the kitsune did not want him to touch
Kagome.
Though, in a swift movement, he took Kagome into his arms. "We will see you
next match." Karasu then left with his team. Kurama just stood there.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Koenma were by his side now. "Kurama, who was
that girl?" asked Koenma.
Kurama did not answer. He felt disgusted with himself. 'Karasu'. His mind
burning with hatred. He took Kagome away from him. He was supposed to be the one to
protect Kagome.
"Agh, damn it, my head!" shouted the inu hanyou that was brought down by
Yusuke.
.
Inuyasha took into his surroundings. 'Strange,' he thought. 'I don't remember
being here. All I remember is red and then... OH SHIT!' Inuyasha jumped on the
arena. He sniffed the air. "I am so sorry, Kagome." He muttered to himself. Though, he
would never say that to Kagome.
He sniffed the air again and found five people staring at him. "What?!" Inuyasha
asked gruffly.
They just stared at him, which annoyed Inuyasha to no ends. "Feh. Well, since
you are not going to answer my question, I'll be leaving to find Kagome."
"What?! You almost killed that girl!" shouted Yusuke and Kuwabara.
Inuyasha looked at them and silently gulped. "I... I... did?"
"Yeah!" angrily shouted Yusuke.
"Shit! I must've lost control AGAIN!" Inuyasha stressed out the word again.
They looked at him weirdly.
Inuyasha looked to see if he had Tetsusaiga with him, and he did not. He angrily
rammed his fist into the concreted. "Damn it! With out Tetsusaiga, I will be going out of
control!"
"Hn. How is it that you can get out of control? And, what is this Tetsusaiga you
speak of?"
Inuyasha looked at the short demon before him. "I don't need to answer anyone's
questions, runt!" Now, Hiei just felt insulted.
"Baka mutt!"
"Shorty!"
"Half-breed!"
"Well, you don't smell like a pure breed either!" That just hit the spot, and Hiei
attacked him.
Kuwabara nudged Hiei on the arm. "Should we stop them?"
Yusuke looked over to the fight. The hanyou, he would credit for, was doing an
okay job going against Hiei. "Nah, besides he deserved it anyway."
While Hiei and Inuyasha fought, Koenma had been trying to get Kurama out of
his daze.
"Kagome..." was all Kurama said.

I woke up in a nice room. The bed sheets were so warm and... I saw someone
sleeping next to me. He wore a mask, and he seems so familiar. Karasu... raced through
my mind.
"Karasu?" I said to myself. He opened his eyes immediately. He sat up and
hugged me.
"Kagome, I missed you so much," He whispers into my ear. I couldn't help but
hug him back. Then, one of my memories returned to me.
I held onto him. Tears started to form in my eyes. "Why?"
