AN: Hello everyone! Now, it's been a while since I updated and I will tell you why. I re-read some of my chapters and decided I didn't like how I had done it. So, I tirelessly revised chapters 3-9 and added a new chapter 10. On some of the revised chapters I only changed some spelling or grammar errors. On others I deleted most of the chapter and wrote new scenes. I hope you like it.

Ukyo: It looks like our hard work paid off after all. Wouldn't you agree Kyle?

Kyle: What hard work? She banished us from her room on the threat that she would write something embarrassing in the next chapter.

DT: That's right and with Ukyo gone, I was able to work without worrying about a spatula smashing me into the ground.

Ukyo: Whatever. The point is you've gotten over your laziness.

DT: Well….not really. I just had moments of inspiration and that's what got me to work. Not even my new video game (Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition) distracted me from my work.

Kyle and Ukyo are not listening and playing DT's video game

DT: Hey, I was going to play that!

Kyle: You can play once you've done the disclaimer. I've had to do that for the last two chapters.

DT: Fine. I get to play winner.

Ukyo and Kyle: Deal.

DT:I do not own Ranma 1/2, Yu Yu Hakusho,or Inuyasha. I do however ownthe plot and my character mentioned in previous chapter. That includes Shadow, who I have so shamefully forgotten to list. So read and review, but no flames.

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

Ch 15 Meet the Miko

Ranma and Akane walked down the streets of Nerima. It was not unusual for them to walk together, but it was the fact that they were not arguing that was a little concerning. This was an unusual sight for the residents of Nerima. They moved out of their way and stared in wonder. Someone even ran away screaming something about the apocalypse. Ranma was getting irritated with them. He looked at Akane from the corner of his eye.

"How did I get stuck with you for this?" he asked no one in particular.

Akane scowled at her fiancé. "Well, excuse me! I'm sure you wanted to go with your 'cute' fiancé!"

Ranma looked pensive. "Ya know, it wouldn't have been so bad if Ucchan came."

"Ranma you jerk!" Akane pulled out her trusty mallet and swung it at Ranma who jumped out of the way.

"Uncute tomboy!" He said while sticking out his tongue at her.

The people of Nerima breathed a sigh of relief to see the couple fighting. Ranma and Akane argued for most of their journey to a temple in Tokyo. Once they stopped arguing they were able to have a civil conversation.

"So, do you think this Kagome will be able to help us?"

"Who knows." Ranma answered. He folded his hands behind his head. "But if she can't, then we're in trouble."

Akane suddenly stopped. "Hey! Why'd you stop?" Ranma asked.

"Where here." she answered simply.

Ranma looked at the steps leading up to the temple. It reminded him of Genkai's temple except there weren't that many steps. Ranma and Akane looked at each other and nodded. They walked up the stairs. Ranma wondered how he was going to explain their situation. Sure he had dealt with a lot of weird stuff in his life time, but this one ranked up there with Saffron. He never imagined meeting demons, but it was bound to happen one day. If he could meet a half-god, then anything was possible. As they reached the top of the stairs, they saw a girl about their age sweeping in front of a house. She had long raven hair and blue eyes. She wore a pink tank top, jeans, and some flip flops.

"Uh, excuse me?" Akane chirped up. The girl stopped sweeping and looked at them. She smiled.

"Oh, hello. Welcome to my family's temple. Is there something you need?"

"Umm,…" Ranma began. "Actually there is. Is there a Kagome living here?"

The girl nodded. "Yes, she is my mother. Come inside and I'll get her for you."

Ranma and Akane followed the girl into the house. She lead them to the living room and told them to wait. Akane sat on the sofa with Ranma. She looked around the living room and spotted pictures of the girl they met and a boy. She suddenly realized that she hadn't asked for the girls name. She made a note to ask her once she came back. In another photograph she saw an older woman that slightly resembled the girl. She was hugging a man with black hair and coal black eyes. Akane assumed that it must be Kagome and her husband. Her attention was shifted to a woman standing with the girl they met. Also there was the man and the boy.

"Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi." She then turned to her family. "This is my husband Inuyasha, my son Kei, and my daughter Sakura. My daughter said you were looking for me. Is that right?"

"Umm, yes. We were wondering if you can help us."

"With what?"

Ranma spoke up. "Well, our friend is sealed to this log thing and we were told that a Miko could unseal him."

They all looked startled at what Ranma said.

"How do you know my wife's a Miko?" Inuyasha demanded. Kei also looked sternly at them. Ranma began to sweat under their gaze.

"Uhhh…..well….you wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try us. We have time." Inuyasha answered.

Akane sighed and decided to tell them who told them. "It was someone named Koenma. He's some kind of ruler of a place called Spirit World."

"And you expect us to believe something like that!" Kei yelled.

"Kei!" Kagome said sternly. "They are our guest. It's not polite to yell."

"What do you think?" Inuyasha asked his wife. Kagome put her hand on her cheek.

"I don't know. I suppose it doesn't really matter how they know I'm a Miko. The important thing is that they need my help."

"How can you say that? Someone knows you're a Miko and that doesn't seem strange to you?" Inuyasha said angrily.

"Calm down Inuyasha. Besides, I don't sense any evil from them." She looked at Ranma and Akane. "Okay, I'll help, but I want to meet this Koenma. I want to know how he knew I was a Miko. Is that alright?"

Ranma and Akane nodded. "Alright then, let me get ready and then we can leave."

"I'm coming too." Inuyasha and Kai said. Kagome sighed. "Fine. Do you want to come too Sakura?"

Sakura shrugged. "Sure why not. Beside, I can finally see what kind of powers you have mom." she said excitedly.

Ranma and Akane waited for a few more minutes as the family got ready to leave. One they were done, they headed out the door and to the Nerima district.

Shampoo was busy serving tables at the Nekohaten. They had decided to open even after last nights events. Kyle had been moved to the storage are near the back of the restaurant. She served the customers their food and went to the kitchen.

"Could you go in the back and get me Mousse. He's been in the storage area too long."

Shampoo nodded and head off to find the blind martial artist. Mousse was glaring at the sleeping Kyle.

"You've got a lot of nerve to cheat on my Shampoo. How dare you have a girlfriend! I'll show you right now and make Shampoo mine!"

Before Mousse could do anything he was splashed with water. He quacked wildly at the person who did this to him. Shampoo glared at the duck-boy.

"What you think you do? Great grandmother looking for Mousse. Go change now."

Mousse walked out to the storage room and to the bathroom to change. Shampoo walked over to Kyle. She heard what Mousse told him and to be honest, she was mad at him. How dare he not say anything about a girlfriend!

"Shampoo!" she headed back to the kitchen.

"Ranma has returned with the Miko. Please go greet our guest."

Shampoo ran excitedly to see Ranma. He was standing at the door with some strangers and Akane.

"Nihao Ranma!" She glomped on to him. However, it felt different now. Even though she was hugging him, it now felt wrong somehow.

"RANMA!" Akane fumed.

"It ain't my fault Akane!"

Cologne came out of the kitchen to defuse the situation. Kagome and her family were seated at a table and given some food while they waited. Shortly after Ukyo and Ryoga arrived as well.

"So where is this friend of yours?" Kagome asked Ranma.

"We'll bring him out in a second."

"Do we get to meet this Koenma?" Inuyasha asked.

Ranma nodded. "Yeah, I called him and said he was on his way."

"No need to wait. I have arrived."

Koenma walked in with Genkai and Botan. Cologne, Mousse, and Shampoo had begun to close. The last customer left and they began their task.

"Ranma has told me you want to speak with me. I don't mind, but after Kyle has been released."

Kagome agreed and Ranma and Ryoga went to get Kyle. The Amazons stopped what they were doing to observe. They brought him out and leaned the log against the a wall. Kagome walked up to him and gasped.

"Oh my god…Inuyasha it's Lin!"

"What! That's impossible!"

Ranma and the others were confused. "You know him?" Ukyo asked.

"Yes. You see Lin in my nephew."

"But how?" Akane asked remembering what Yumi told them the night before.

"You see, Inuyasha and Lin's father are brothers."

"That still doesn't make sense. We were told Kyle's a demon and you guys are human!" Ranma exclaimed.

"Kyle huh?" Inuyasha said as he walked up to Kyle. "That's him alright. He's got the same markings as his father. There's no doubt that this is Lin. What I want to know is what's he's doing here."

"Mom?"

"Yes dear?"

"Is it true that he's your nephew?" she asked thoroughly confused.

"That's right."

"So, that means he's our cousin?" Kei asked.

"Yes."

"Then how come you never told us about him?" Sakura asked.

Kagome sighed. "It looks like there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. But first things first."

Kagome placed her hands on the arrow. As soon as she did so Kyle opened his eyes. Kagome smiled and pulled the arrow out of his chest. Kyle landed on his feet and looked around. He was back in the Nekohaten. He looked at the woman who had released him and the three other people he didn't know. He then looked at Ranma and the others.

"So, umm, what'd I miss?"

AN: Okay so that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it was short. Please make sure to review and no flames. Later!
