"talking"
'thinking'
(telepathy)
Inuyasha sat patiently outside Kagome's window, going over his plan for the umpteenth time in the past hour. 'Alright. You need to get her back over to your time. The only way to do that is to kill Naraku. You have no idea where Naraku is. This is the only way to make sure she's safe.'
He tapped lightly on the window, trying to wake up Kagome. After a few minutes of simply sitting in the tree waiting, she opened the window, stretching. "Inuyasha?"
"Hey, Kagome. You miss me?"
"Of course I missed you." She smiled. "Why don't you come on in?"
He nodded and slipped inside, Kagome closing the window behind him.
"So what'd you come here for? Besides to see me?"
Inuyasha took a deep breath, preparing to say the thing he had been preparing to say for the past hour. "I came to say . . . that Naraku's finally dead . . ."
It was lucky that it was dark, otherwise Kagome would've seen the hanyou flinch as an incredibly happy smile cracked over her face. "Really!"
He swallowed, then slowly nodded, a fake smile on his face.
"I can't believe it!" she practically squealed, hugging him, trying to keep from jumping up and down. "He's finally dead! Now I can go over there and stay with you!"
"Yeah . . ."
"Something wrong?" She looked up at him, a touch of concern in her endless happiness.
"Oh . . . nothing . . . just a little worn out . . ."
"Did he hurt you?" Kagome started feeling for blood.
"No. I was lucky. I managed to sneak up on him and get the advantage."
"I'm so happy!" She latched onto his neck, about ready to cry in happiness. 'I can finally be with him again! I can't believe it! After all this time!'
"You wanna go back?"
"Right now?" She gave him a curious look.
"Well that demon's still after you, isn't he?"
"I haven't felt him near me, but . . ." She glanced over at the spirit detective who was sleeping soundly in the corner. "The ones that were chasing you earlier . . . they . . ."
Inuyasha let out an incredibly low growl. "What's he doing here?"
"I was wondering the exact same thing . . . I guess it would be to my benefit to go over now, huh?"
"Yeah. I'll give you a ride." He turned around and crouched for her, and she graciously got on his back.
"Thanks, Inuyasha." She hugged him tightly. "I can finally breathe easy again . . ." 'And I can finally be with you again.'
The hanyou's ears drooped all the way down to his head. He hated doing this to her, but he had no choice. 'I'll just have to find him without her knowing is all.' Silently, he opened up the window and leapt out, heading off for the well.
Unbeknownst to them, a certain spirit detective had heard their entire conversation from his sleeping bag in the corner. He sat up. 'She's gone then. But where on Earth is she headed off to? It looked like they were heading for that well . . .'
But before he could stand up to investigate where they ran off to, two pairs of glowing eyes appeared at the window, one blood red, the other bright gold.
As quickly as he could, he shot back down to the floor and watched through cracked eyes as the creatures looked around. 'What on Earth? Is that the demon that we were after . . . with an accomplis?'
The eyes cast their eerie glow down onto the now empty bed and narrowed angrily. Then, as quickly as they had come, they were gone again.
Yusuke got up and rushed to the window, looking out in time to see two black streaks leap out of sight. 'I wonder what that was all about.' He shrugged it off, then leapt out of the window as well, running towards the minishrine. 'I guess now is as good a time as any to figger out what the heck's up with that well. I can swear that's where she went.'
He threw open the doors and cautiously walked down the stairs, peeking into the the seemingly bottomlessness of the well. 'Let's just hope that kid doesn't freak me out again.' He smirked at himself, took a quick look behind him, then leapt inside.
He hit dirt.
'Nice job, Yusuke. What did you expect? To get transported to some crazy world?' Almost laughing at himself, he started looking around the walls, seeing if there might be any secret passages lurking in the shadowy corners.
After a few seconds, a bright blue light suddenly appeared at his feet, pulling him into the ground. "What the hell!" He quickly started struggling, but found his efforts were futile.
"Guess I got no choice," he said with a grimace, then stopped fighting.
The light engulfed him, pulling him into the ground. He gazed in awe at the liquidy blue he was emerged in, then suddenly, he found himself standing back in the well. He blinked, then got a very annoyed look."This is just great! That big lightshow and this is all I get!" Feeling stupid, he reached for the ladder, and found only thick vines.
'Vines? When did these get here?' Shrugging it off yet again, he climbed up to the top, and was shocked to find himself in a huge forest.
"How the hell did a forest get here!" His eyes went wide as he looked around. He blinked a few times, making sure that it was real. "Damn! Koenma'll want to know about this!" Without a second thought, he leapt back into the well, immediately being engulfed in the blue light again and transported back.
The next morning, Kasakia and Hiei somehow found themselves in the well house on the Higurashi shrine.
"So tell me again why I'm here." Hiei gave his fiancee an annoyed look.
"Just shut up, Hiei. We're just going to see how she's doin' is all." With that, she leapt inside, hitting dirt. "How do you work this damn thing!"
Mockingly, Hiei leapt into the well too, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, both the youkai were surrounded in bright blue light.
"Show off," Kasakia mumbled, looking away and rolling her eyes.
On the other side, the fire demons leapt out, both being extra cautious in case hanyous or renigade ninjas decided to attack.
(Hikari?)
No response.
(Hikari!)
Still no response.
(HIIIIIKAAAAARIIIII!)
STILL no response.
(Wake up, bitch.)
(Shut up, Hiei.) Hikari's voice rang through both their heads.
(About time you woke up, Hikari! I was about to come over there!)
(So what the hell are you two doing over here anyway? The girl's back. I can handle this. The hanyou completely trusts me.)
(You seduced him, didn't you?)
(Get out of my head, you sad excuse for a half fire demon!)
Hiei growled.
"What did you tell her, Hiei?" Kasakia gave him an annoyed look.
"I told her to seduce the hanyou to get this over with."
The demoness rolled her eyes. (You actually listened to Hiei?)
(I didn't seduce him! Well . . . on purpose, anyway . . .)
(How do you accidently seduce someone?)
(Uh . . . I . . . I don't know . . .)
(By being a temptress. Isn't that the answer you're looking for, bitch?)
(Shut up, Hiei!)
(WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP FOR A MINUTE! YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!)
(Hn.)
(Hmph.)
(Geez! You two- I swear!) Kasakia silently fumed for a minute. (Alright. So you got this business down, Hikari?)
(Yeah. It seems that Inuyasha told the miko a little, well, huge lie, and she probably won't stay here for long after she finds out. I'll be sure to go back with.)
(Ha! I knew you wouldn't leave me out of some of the action!)
(Unfortunately, they can't see Hiei cause he already attacked them. Meaning that he'll have to stay in the shadows somewhere.) Her voice was incredibly cocky.
(Shut up, you bitch, before I kill that damn loverboy of yours.)
"Shut up, Hiei! Can you not insult her for five friggin' minutes!"
"Hn."
(Alright then. We gotta head back. Yusuke apparently got some info on the girl. Koenma's calling us all together. See ya when you get to the other side.) With that, she leapt back into the well, Hiei at her heels.
Hikari looked over at the cluster of people from her spot in the corner. Kagome was talking with Sango and Miroku about where she was going to stay, and Inuyasha was sitting guiltily away from her, ears drooped.
'He's having second thoughts . . .' The demonesses eyes flashed wildly. 'He's thinking about what's going to happen when she finds out . . .'
The hanyou looked over at her, guilt shining very clearly in his eyes. She forced her own into a look of pity.
"Are you guys sure? I mean, I don't want to be a burden on you two."
"It's just fine, Kagome. We'd never leave you without a place to stay!"
"Very true. You shouldn't believe yourself to be such trouble, Lady Kagome. We'd rather enjoy you staying with us!"
Sango shot a cold glare at Miroku, who immediately got rid of his perverted grin.
"Really, I couldn't. You guys need your, uh, 'alone time'." She looked rather nervous about bringing up the subject, and upon hearing this, Miroku got an even wider smile as he looked at Sango.
She growled and reached for her Hiraikotsu.
'He's going to attack again. I can feel it. What do I do? I can't just tell her to go back . . .'
Hikari stood up and exited the hut, nobody noticing her leaving except Inuyasha, who honestly didn't care. She sat down by the door, close enough to hear what they were saying or thinking, but not being directly involved. 'This is exhausting. I just want to go home . . .'
She closed her eyes, imagining her dwelling in the cave of the woods at home. 'I never imagined I'd be homesick for that place.' She smirked at herself. 'But it doesn't change the fact that I still want to go home . . . my real home.'
Flashback
Kasakia ran through the fire demon camp, wearing her youkai armor with her much longer hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Hiei! Hiei! Where the hell did you run off to!"
(Maybe he finally got some sense and left.) Hikari's voice echoed in her head.
(Shut up, Hikari! And get the hell out of my head!) "Hiei! Hiei! Damn it! Where are you!" She ran to his tent, pulling up the flap. "Hiei! Are you asleep still!"
(Oh please. That guy couldn't sleep in to save his life.)
(I said 'Shut up!') Kasakia walked inside, looking around. It seemed that not only was Hiei gone, but his sword and other possessions were also missing. On his futon was a simple note. 'Gone to Earth. Don't follow.'
"That jackass! How dare he go to terrorize humans without me! I'll find his ass and kill him for leaving me here!" The demoness ran back to her own tent and grabbed her swords out of her trunk.
"And where the hell do you think you're going?" Hikari said from the door, leaning on its supporting pole.
"Back off, Hikari! I'm going to Earth!"
"I should've figgered as much . . ." The older sister rubbed her temples in annoyance. "Your fiancée heads off to Earth, and you're gonna be his faithful little bitch and follow."
"What'd you just say!" Kasakia shook her sword at her sister threateningly. "That's got nothin' to do with it!"
"And how exactly do you plan on following him? Spirit World isn't just gonna let a fushichou waltz through the portal. The only reason that sad excuse for a fire demon got through was cause that damn eye reduced his class from an A to a D."
"You're being an idiot as usual, Hikari." Kasakia smirked as her sister glared. "In this form, our powers are low enough to get through that damn Kakai Barrier."
"Exactly, little sister. I've heard about some of the people Koenma sends out over there to defend those mortals. They're not to be messed with by a B class."
"I don't care what you say! I'm going too! And I'm gonna kill Hiei for abandoning me here!"
"Who said anything about me trying to stop you?"
Kasakia raised an eyebrow.
"I'm going with you."
"Oh no you're not!"
Hikari scoffed. "You can't stop me."
Kasakia was about to protest, but settled for growling. 'She's right. For once. Ever since Dad died, she's been in charge.'
"That's right I'm in charge." She smirked widely.
"But what about the tribe?" The younger sibling snapped.
"I'll just put Dainama in charge." She snorted, glancing over at the said fire apparition who was currently sleeping in a tree. He was pretty much bald exept for a pitch black ponytail at the back of his head, and he looked as if he was an incredibly vicious man. A misleading impression as he had been one of their father's most trusted men, and he had helped raise them after their father had died.
"Alright, you can come. Just don't get in my way!"
End Flashback
'Now why did I ever want to come to this damn place in the first place?' She shook her head. 'Oh that's right. To protect my damned little sister from those damn spirit detectives.'
Out of nowhere, Miroku came flying out of the hut, a few large lumps decorating his head. Hikari gave him an annoyed look, knowing too well what he had been up to. "Pervert."
The monk sat up, rubbing the back of his head and laughing nervously. "What makes you say that, Lady Hikari?"
'Maybe because of the fact that everytime you see me you start having perverted images of me!' She growled at him.
Continuing his nervous laughter, he backed up from her, making sure to be out of range of whatever objects she might start throwing at him.
"So tell me, monk." Her voice was oddly calm.
"Yeah?" He backed away a little more.
"Why the hell do you act the way you do when you have that demon slayer hanging all over you?"
"Lady Sango?" Miroku thought about this for a second, then scootched over next to the human demoness. "Perhaps it is because she doesn't admit her feelings for me . . ."
Hikari gave him an annoyed look. "It's obvious to anyone with a brain stem that she digs you. Maybe she'd admit it if you quit harassing other girls." She glared to prove her point.
"You're right, Lady Hikari! I must stop my groping!"
The demoness was shocked. In his mind, he held every intention of doing just that. 'Wow . . . he's actually gonna do it . . .' She smiled at him as a kind of encouragement.
It didn't last long however as she suddenly felt something on her ass. A hand, in fact. She just sat there in shock for a minute, than immediately brought her fist down on his head. "YOU PERVERT! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
Inuyasha and the others ran out when the heard the yelling and were met with the sight of Miroku running for his life from one very pissed off girl.
