---Time of the Three Jewels---
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha and I probably never will!
Sorry for the wait! I'm still thinking of ideas for this one, so it's really hard to maintain lots of stories!
Chapter 8: It's So Hard
Griffindor Common Room…
Yusuke woke up to find that he was early! Groaning, the punk was just going to fall asleep again, when his communicator rang. Grumbling about abusive toddlers, he grudgingly flipped open the contraption.
"Yeah, what do you want toddler?"
"I'M NOT A TODDLER!"
"Yeah, whatever, so what do you want?"
"I have some very bad news, I'm afraid Yusuke" Koenma replied solemnly.
"What is it?"
"Keiko…she just recently got engaged to another man somewhere in America. She said she just couldn't wait and went off just like that"
Yusuke blinked once. Twice. He then proceeded to slam the communicator shut. Then, being very unlike himself at the moment, hid under the covers and started crying.
Defense Against The Dark Arts Class…
"Hello class! I hope you are all feeling well to attend class today!" Kagome started. But she was only met by silence.
Team Griffindor and Slytherlin stared blankly at her.
Feeling a little uncomfortable right now, she turned away and then back again, "Class! I'm going to be answering questions today instead of a lesson. One at a time please, and I'll call you out. One question per person. Oh, and has anybody seen Yusuke?"
They only stared longer.
She shifted in her seat by her desk, "I'll take that as a no" Kagome sighed, "If anybody sees him, please tell me"
Suddenly, her students started talking in a hustle, whispering about what questions to ask. Finally, after 5 minutes, although it seemed like ages, several students raised their hand.
"Yes?" she asked, pointing to a random pupil among the Slytherlin table.
"Are you a god?"
"In a way, I guess you could say, but in other words, I only represent a certain element"
After that, the questions immediately started filing in.
"What do you represent?"
"Err…earth…"
"If you're a god, uh well…yeah, then why are you teaching here?" Ron asked, confused.
"Well, I sort of like teaching, and I'm here to also try and protect the school with Professor Taijiya. There was also something else that we were supposed to investigate in at Hogwarts, but I cannot say"
"Who did you learn how to fight from?"
"Um…a person…" Kagome said, trying to avoid saying it directly.
"Who was the person?"
"My teacher…"
The rest of the class sweat dropped. Obviously their professor was trying hard to avoid this conversation, yet the Griffindor was so dense…
"Who was your teacher?"
"My teacher was a human…"
"What was this 'human's' name?"
"Her name was a person's name"
"RYAN! QUIT QUESTIONING THE TEACHER!" a fellow Griffindor dragged him back down into his seat. ((He was standing up))
"Thank you" Kagome sighed. The bell then rang, signally the changing of classes. She thanked kami that it was all over. That is, for now.
Hallway to Potions Class…
"Now, do you believe that there's something suspicious about these 3 new teachers?" Hermionie questioned.
"Yes, but everyone has secrets, right? Their meant to stay as secrets" Harry retorted, exasperated by her questions.
"Yeah, and if it's bad, than I'd like to stay out of this" Ron agreed.
Hermionie sighed, "Fine then, come on, we're at potions class now. We're forbidden on the thrid floor this year. Remember that. I think it's guarded..."
Potions Class…
Sango wasn't having the best luck either. She was just lucky because most of the questions had been pushed onto Kagome beforehand.
"Yes, I am some kind of fire representative…"
"You'll still be teaching, right?"
"Yes…"
"Do you like chocolate?"
"Uh…and what does this have to do with the subject…?"
After they all left from class for lunch, Sango plopped down on her desk chair with a sigh. Resting her head in her hands, the demon exterminator thought about the past events that had been happening.
Inuyasha, Shippo, Kirara…Miroku….
She felt somehow lonely right then. There would be no more of his lecherous ways, his silly smiles when he had done something awkward in her eyes. They could of wished them back, but then it would be a truly selfish wish…
Kagome had Kurama now. They had found their perfect 'somebody'. They were lucky. Sometimes, you'd have to set out to find your soul mate. Most of the time, those hunters would never find them, and die in vain, not knowing true love. Sango had seen those looks Kurama had snuck to Kagome when he thought no one was looking. She had seen the look Kagome gave him…
'There has to be SOMEONE out there…"
A person who could feel her pain, know what it was like to loose someone you loved and survive, yet, feel like killing his or her self just for the sake of it.
Sango had yet to find her soul mate. She longed to be like Kurama and Kagome. She could feel it, the sense of someone else mourning just like her…
Lunchtime…
Kurama smiled at sat down at the base of a aged tree in the yard of Hogwarts, waiting for a certain someone…
Somebody approached him from behind and sat down beside him.
"Hi!" Kagome exclaimed cheerfully.
"Hey Kagome! How was class today?" he responded.
He heard her groan in frustration and turned to see her pulling on her hair.
"Horrible…"
Kurama raised his hand and gently puller her arms away from her hair before she tore it off, "Everyone was asking you questions?" he paused as she nodded. He chuckled, "You know, I'd like to know myself. Where's Sango anyway?"
Kagome sighed and the fox demon pulled her gently into his lap, stroking her hair, "Sango said she needed some alone time and well…I'm certain I told you about my time with Midoriko-sama?"
He nodded in understanding, "Hai, but there seemed to be a few blank spots in your story"
"Yes, I didn't want to tell you this just yet, but I suppose I could tell you now. Well, Midoriko was practicing moves with Sango and I, when she stopped and told us that she was going to say something very important…"
Hey! I'm going to bed now!
Ja-ne!
I hope you liked the chapter so far…Why do I always end up writing my stories at night just before I go to bed…?
