IMPORTANT NOTE: Now. I know ya'll are thinking that Inu's acting like a little perv and is getting way too friendly with Hikari, but let's all remember what we're dealing with here. Hikari's a temptress (No, I did not steal the idea from you, Sanc) and has probably done this to a heck of a lot of people. Even though . . . 'techinally' she's not purposely doing this, but we all know that guys act funny when they're feeling guilty around a pretty girl that smells good, and the fact that she has these mind powers that are screwing with Inu-baby's thought process doesn't help much. Let's all just be glad that he's resisting.
Over: ...still tied to chair, random pieces of hair and clothes missing...
Drag: ...looking half dead, tire tracks all over body...
DeVries: Well, I think I should go now. ...leaves...
Over: Wait! Untie me first! ...struggles...
Drag: Hey, Over? What happened to Larry and TD?
Over: Well . . . Fluffy roughed them up so bad that they decided to go on vacation for a while.
Yusuke: Am I late? Where're all these hot chicks I heard so much about?
Over:...sweatdrops... I should've known better than to let TD bring you here.
Drag: ...heart eyes...
Yusuke: ...edges away from Drag... So what am I supposed to be doing here?
Over: Well, you're gonna be my special guest AS SOON AS YOU GET ME OFF THIS STUPID CHAIR!
Yusuke: O.O
Drag: ...heart eyes...
Over: WELL! ARE YA GONNA UNTIE ME OR NOT!
Yusuke: ...whispers to Drag... It wouldn't happen to be her week, would it?
Drag: ...nods solemnly...
Over: ...struggles in chair and finally breaks free... FREEEEEDOOOOOM! ...grabs nearest bag of pens... NOW! YOU TWO'RE DEAD! ... chases after Yusuke and Drag, tossing pens at them...
Drag: AHHH! MERCY! MERCY!
Yusuke: This is why I'm glad she doesn't own me!
Over: ...stops mid-throw... Wait. Was that the official disclaimer?
Drag: ...shrugs...
Disclaimer:
... crickets...
Over: ...nudges Yusuke... Say it, Usaka.
Yusuke: What'd you just call me!
Drag: ...sweatdrops...
Over: Just- Oh, never mind . . . I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho . . .
Yusuke: That's right you don't.
Over: ... chucks last pen at Yusuke...
Drag: ...heart eyes..
"talking"
'thinking'
(telepathy)
"What's that! You say you found the girl!" Botan put her face an inch from Yusuke as if to detect whether or not he was lying.
"For the last time, Botan! She lives at the Sunset Shrine! I saw her with my own two eyes!"
Hiei's eyes narrowed as he watched the two from his spot against the wall. 'She failed . . .'
(Hiei?) Kasakia looked over at him as she connected to him telepathically. (Do you think Hikari let her go?)
(Isn't it obvious? He would've mentioned something if that bitch was there with her.)
(Damn. This complicates things. And I take it this little development makes her stuck on the other side, huh?)
(Who cares? She's out of my hair now.)
(Hiei! She is my sister!)
(Hn.)
(So what do we do now?)
(Just as I planned all along. We take it by force.)
(Fine by me. That little miko doesn't stand a chance against the two of us. Then we can get Hikari and blow this joint.)
(Why bother?)
(Hiei . . .) She narrowed her eyes threateningly.
Kurama looked over at the two, glaring at each other. 'I wonder what has them at ends. They haven't spoken at all since they found us earlier, and they seemed to've been getting along just fine till now.'
Suddenly, Kasakia stopped her glaring and crossed her arms, a vein popping on her head. Then, out of nowhere, she started yelling, "HIEI, YOU IDIOT! SHE'S MY SISTER, AND I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE HER BEHIND!"
The group blinked at her as she breathed heavily to calm herself down.
"You're an idiot, Kasakia. I can see the relation to Hikari." Hiei glared at her.
She suddenly seemed to realize what she had done and sweatdropped. "Did I . . . Did I just say that . . . out loud?"
"Is there something we should know about?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Oh nothing! Nothing at all!" The youkai waved her arms in front of her, sweatdropping even more.
"I do believe that there is something you should tell us." Kurama walked forward and put a hand on his hip.
"It was nothing!" Kasakia immediately snapped, and bared her fangs to make her point. "SO JUST DROP IT!"
The Spirit Detectives quickly backed down, seeing that the demoness was about ready to kill anyone that asked again.
(Smooth move, Kasakia.)
She started glaring at Hiei again. (Just shut up, Hiei! It's your fault I did that!)
Kurama stared curiously at the girl that seemed so angry that she was on fire. Wait. She was on fire! "Kasakia?"
She turned her cold glare on the kitsune.
"Are you . . ." He pointed at the flames surrounding her.
She looked at them with mild interest as they disappeared, patting out a small fire on her shoulder. "Guess I lost my temper . . ."
"So you're a fire youkai?" Yusuke pointed at her, curiousity on all of his features.
"Yes, but don't lump me together with your ordinary fire apparition." She crossed her arms and leaned on a lamp post.
"You're a fushichou, aren't you?" Kurama gave her an understanding look. "But I heard that they are never allowed to be in a humanoid state."
"I prefer it this way. It wouldn't be wise to go around like that now would it? Not in the mortal world." She looked away.
(A/N: By the way, I'm purposely not letting you guys know what a fushichou is. So there's really no point in asking.)
"Anyway!" Botan quickly brought the tension to a halt as all attention was directed at her. "We need to investigate this 'Sunset Shrine.' Yusuke, since you seem to have the most familiarity with its residents and the girl detests demons, you'll be in charge of gaining her trust."
"Why do I always have to do all the work!" Yusuke quickly forgot about Kasakia and was back in Botan's face.
"You're the one we hired as Spirit Detective!"
The two continued their bickering as Hiei and Kasakia telepathically made their plans to ambush the miko, Kagome Higurashi.
Inuyasha watched the girl as she drifted off into the quiet recesses of sleep. 'What is it about her that makes me feel this way? She's driving my instincts crazy. Her scent's really getting to me . . . just like Kagome's did . . .' The thoughts of the miko he loved brought a frown on his face. 'Kagome . . . she's in danger over there . . . that demon is still after her. I know it.'
He sighed and leaned against the side of the hut. 'But the only way she'll come back is if I destroy Naraku, and he hasn't shown his face since the jewel left this time . . . what do I do?'
Hikari stirred a bit in her sleep, clutching onto the cloth at his knee.
"Hikari . . ." Inuyasha said softly, moving a stray bang away from her face. 'How could I forget? She's in danger too . . . Wait! What am I thinking! Kagome's in a million times more danger than this wench!' He forcefully pried her hand off his knee. She flinched, and the hanyou's ears drooped slightly in regret. 'Damnit! She means nothing to me! In fact, hell if I care what the heck happens to her! I'm going to get Kagome right now!'
He stood, and quickly left the hut, running for the well. 'Stupid wench! Messing with me like that! It's all because Kagome's gone! As soon as she gets back here, I'll be straightened out!' He silently leapt into the well.
"So where exactly are you planning on sleeping?" Kagome asked, glaring suspiciously at the Spirit Detective.
"Wherever there's room for me. Just name the spot."
"I would have you sleep in Sota's room, but he has a friend over. That leaves my Grandpa's room, but he's always preferred to sleep alone. Of course, there's always my mother's room, but there's no way in hell I'm letting you take advantage of that to get the jewel."
"So . . . I guess . . . I have to sleep in your room then, huh?"
Kagome growled. She didn't want him anywhere near her, but she also didn't really have a choice in the matter. "I guess. But don't you dare think this means anything! I already have a boyfriend!"
"Geez. Stop taking things so personally. I have a girlfriend too."
"And does your girlfriend know that you consort with demons!"
"Will you just give it a rest already? I told you. He's a good demon."
"Hmph." Kagome immediately turned and headed off for her room to change.
As soon as she was out of sight, Yusuke pulled out his communicator. "Botan?"
"I'm here, Yusuke."
"It's decided. I'm going to sleep in her room tonight."
"I hope you aren't planning on doing anything you'll regret, Yusuke!" Keiko's face appeared next to Botan's on the screen.
"Oh come on, Keiko. You know me better than that."
"I know you're a skirt chaser!"
Yusuke sweatdropped, giving his girlfriend an annoyed look. "That was a long time ago, Keiko."
"Botan told me about what you did earlier! You were checking out Kasakia and Yugure, weren't you!"
"I was just telling Hiei that he has good taste."
"Yeah right!"
"Geez! Will you stop yelling! I'm supposed to be undercover!"
"Yeah! Under her covers!"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!" Kasakia's voice rang out behind the two girls.
"MAKE ME!" Keiko disappeared off the screen, and the two girls' voices continued their yelling in the background.
"I take it those two aren't getting along very well . . ."
"Yeah. They haven't stopped fighting since they met." There was a huge crash, and Botan looked over where the girls were, looking rather frightened. Flames erupted behind her, and a chair flew by.
"Just make sure Keiko doesn't die, alright Botan?"
"I doubt I can do anything to help in that case, Yusuke . . ."
"BITCH!" Kasakia ran by behind Botan, on fire and holding a flaming chair over her head, chasing Keiko.
"Ummmm . . . I think I better go split this up . . . Bye, Yusuke." Botan's face disappeared off the screen, and the spirit detective clicked the communicator shut, slipping it in his pocket.
Almost instantly, Kagome came back out of her room, dressed in a thin, lavender nightgown that went down to her thighs. Yusuke raised his eyebrows, liking what he was seeing but not wanting to get hit. "And just what are you looking at?"
"Will you stop jumping to conclusions! I was just surprised that you were going to wear that when it's supposed to be freezing tonight!"
"I'll manage." She turned around and walked back into her room, sticking her head back out. "You coming or not?"
"Right. Right." He casually followed her in, looking around as he entered. It was, he guessed, her old bedroom, and seeing as she had her own house, her mom obviously had done the motherly thing to do and not touched anything. A few pictures scattered the walls, each with some rather strange looking people.
One was of two teenagers who were obviously a couple. The guy had short black hair tied back in a dragon ponytail and had his arm around a girl with long, dark brown hair tied back in an extremely loose ponytail and pink eyeshadow who was giving a peace sign.
Another was of a younger Kagome hugging a guy from behind. He had pitch black hair and was wearing really old fashioned clothes, all red. It reminded him of someone, but who?
"You're sleeping over there." She pointed at a sleeping bag shoved in the corner. "And if I find out you snore, you're getting kicked out faster than you can say 'I don't'."
"I'm sure I would've heard about it if I did." He scratched the back of his head, not liking the tone she was using.
"Good." She pulled back her covers and slipped in, turning to face the wall.
"Uh . . . okay . . ." Yusuke walked over to the sleeping bag and got ready to get in. "Night, Kag."
"Whatever," she sighed, already half asleep.
The spirit detective also sighed, then slipped into his resting place, taking one last look at the girl. 'I don't know how I get myself into these situations . . .' With that, he turned towards the wall, yawned, and fell asleep.
Yusuke: ...gagged and tied to a chair...
Over: ...dusts off hands... That should teach him.
Drag: ...heart eyes...
Yusuke: Mph mm mm mph jph!
Over: Now, for some good ol' fashioned thank yous.
Drag: ...sits on Yusuke's lap... Hello, Usaka.
Yusuke: Mm mm mph pph mph!
Over: Ya know what? I'm gonna just amuse myself by watching Drag mess with Usaka.
Yusuke: ...eyes widen...
Drag: ...still has heart eyes, but is drooling ever so slightly...
Over: Alright. I don't want to wash the floor. ...holds up fishing rod with a picture of shirtless Benji on the end...
Drag: ...drools even more and goes for the picture...
Over: Dang it! Stop drooling, Drag!
Drag: ...grabs the picture and makes out with it...
Over: Riiiiight . . .
Yusuke: Mph.
Over: ...undoes gag... Hey, I'm bored. How are you?
Yusuke: Let me out of here you ...string of unmentionable curses...
Over: ...holds up remote control... Don't make me do it.
Yusuke: ...shuts up...
Over: So tell me. What the heck are you doing at Kag's house? Really? ...sly smile...
Yusuke: You're the one that put me there. Hell if I know what's going on.
Over: Oh come on . . . just play along . . .
Yusuke: ...sweatdrop...
Over: ...mock wonder...What does this button do? ...threatens to push it...
Yusuke: No, you!
Over: ...pushes button...
Horde of Rabid Fan Girls: ... rush in and start doing all sorts of nasty fan girl things to Yusuke...
Over: Alright. Now that that's taken care of, I'd like to thank Sanci (Hopefully the note at the beginning cleared some things up, but yet again, just be glad he's resisting, and that now he's getting his cute butt back to Kagome.). Unfortunately, that was my only review for the chapter . . . ...gets sad look...
Drag: ...is now in puddle of drool...
Over: ...sweatdrop...
