---Deceased Romance With New Revelations---

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Anyways, here's the next chapter…soo…tired. I won't be able to update as often now since school's starting up again. (Evil alert! Evil alert!) TT Hope you like the chapter.

Warning: This story doesn't appear to have a firm storyline!

Chapter 23: Kidnapped (Obvious Title, isn't it?)

Sango's POV…

"I wonder what Kagome's doing right now…" Sango pondered, being dragged by Keiko to the nearest store, "-Hey! Watch the arm! It feels like it's going to get pulled off!"

Keiko giggled and answered, "Well sorry, you were in a trance-like state for what seemed like ages and you wouldn't move…" she finished off the last part quietly.

"Oh…sorry" Sango sighed, walking into the clothing store, 'Last time I saw her; she was still in the bedroom. What if she's still sleeping…? Possibly' She laughed quietly to herself, humming as she picked up a t-shirt off a random rack.

Koenma's Office…

Botan picked the prince up by the collar of his shirt, twitching as he started snoring… "Could you call King Enma please…?" She asked one of the ogres that were gathering paper off the ground, avoiding the spilt black paint.

"Yes, of course" He answered, rushing off out the door and down the hallway.

Err…let's just say he didn't get the chance to come back to look for the king.

There was a seemingly magical 'poof' in the room and all the ogres backed away, along with Kagome and Botan as a very…large man stood in front of them now.

"Who has caused this ruckus?" He bellowed, peering down at all the Reikai workers.

"Enma, sir!" Botan stuttered, holding Koenma out in front of her, "Koenma, sir, did it! He was lacking brain cells at that time…I think" she muttered.

Kagome snickered, "I don't agree. I think he has lacked them since birth" She whispered, mostly to herself.

"Who is this…?" Enma asked, barely turning towards the miko.

"Oh!" Botan brightened, "This is Kagome! Kagome Higurashi, sir! She helped us stop Koenma from doing damage…to…the…"

"Lady Kagome! Why, what a surprise to see you! What brings you here on this lovely day?" Enma kneeled down in front of a very bewildered Kagome with hearts in his eyes.

"Err…fine, Enma-sama" Kagome raised an eyebrow; sweat dropping, as he seemed to pull something out of his many pockets.

Enma gasped and a pink tint lit up in his cheeks, 'She knows my name! –Squee! -'

He then firmly pulled out a pad of paper and pen, "Can I…can I have your autograph?" He exclaimed quickly, desperately holding out the two objects as if it was the last thing on earth.

The air had gone stale around her. An autograph.

Autograph.

'You're kidding…' The sweat drop formed bigger.

"Eh…" Botan looked back and forth between the two people, "Erm…Kagome…?"

Kagome seemed to snap out of her 'trance', "Oh, yeah? Oh! Sure…?"

She took the paper and stared at the pen before uncapping the lid, hastily scribbling her signature onto it, scrawling all over the page. Kagome then capped the lid again and handed back to an awe-struck emperor.

"Yo! Toddler! –Did…I miss something…?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow as the stepped out of a portal and into Koenma's office, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama following behind him.

"Great…again, this is stupid, a waste of time" Hiei sighed irritably and just seemed to 'disappear' from the room, using his speed to exit the large Reikai building.

"Kagome…?" Kurama leaned over, whispering to the miko, who was just standing there, staring incredously over at the emperor, who just happened to be rubbing the autograph by his cheek, smiling cheekily, no pun intended.

"Could we…get out of here somehow…? Enma-sama is giving me the creeps" Kagome side-glanced at the red-haired teen.

"Good idea" Kuwabara stepped over.

Botan nodded along with Yusuke and gestured them over to a filing cabinet that just happened to still be standing, "Let's get out of here"

Making sure they were out of the scary man's view, she created a portal and they all went through.

The Higurashi Shrine…

"Alright!" Botan cheered in victory.

Kagome let out a sigh of relief, unconsciously leaning on Kurama's shoulder. He didn't seem to notice.

Yusuke smirked, "That mess – did the toddler turn into a newborn?"

Botan scowled, summoning her oar and bashing him on the head.

"Careful" Kurama joked, "You wouldn't want Yusuke to turn into Koenma now, would you…?"

Botan immediately ceasing her attack, "Nope. Not at all"

Kuwabara nodded.

"Anyways," The ferry girl sighed, "I'm going to check on Sango and Keiko. They're probably pulling poor Miroku through the mall now. I've gotta go save him, Ja!"

They nodded in response.

As soon as she left, Kagome burst into giggles.

"What is it, Kagome?" Kurama asked, startled by her sudden outburst.

"I-it's just that…Botan seems to really like Miroku, and I can tell he likes her back, no matter what his actions are. But…Miroku's probably a rotting corpse"

Yusuke cocked his head, nodding in agreement, "Yeah…you're probably right. Damn…I feel sorry for him now"

"You're lucky Keiko isn't here now" Kuwabara stated, "Or else you'd be dead too"

The cousin furiously nodded, not wanting to think about the consequences if Keiko ever heard that.

"So…Ahh! -"

Kagome's scream alerted the three boys standing around her.

They watched in panic as a black portal opened up, a well-tanned, clawed hand sticking out and grabbing Kagome's arm roughly, pulling her into the portal.

It consumed her like black tar.

"KAGOME!"

The Shopping Mall…

"Miroku! You look terrible!" Botan fussed, rushing up to the man with over 17 bags piled around him on a bench.

"Mentally…and physically…" Miroku croaked.

The ferry girl ran over and bought a bottle of water, Miroku drinking it down greedily, "Thanks" the monk sighed. He pulled on the hem of his shirt, "I'm still not used to these modern era clothing"

Botan understood, "In the feudal era, you guys probably just went for comfort, eh…?"

"Yes" Miroku replied.

"-Hey guys!" Keiko greeted cheerily, Sango grinning behind her.

"Hello" Botan smiled, clearing away some bags and taking a seat by Miroku on the bench, "How was it?"

"Great!" Sango laughed, "We got some more clothes for the modern era so we can visit a lot!"

"But…" Miroku whined, "We only really need one! For the whole time, it's not like this wears out quickly, Sango" he explained, rubbing the denim on his jeans.

Botan quickly told him that if you kept wearing the same thing everyday, people may begin to think you're poor because you have only one set of clothing.

Miroku let out a large breath, "The era has evolved alot"

Keiko raised an eyebrow, "…is that supposed to be a compliment…?"

"Think if it as what you want" He leaned back on the bench.

"But…I think I really like this era" Sango sighed wistfully, fingering the handles of several more bags, "It's really high technology and it's easier to get around doing things like transportation and stuff-"

She was cut off as a black, warp-like hole appeared above her and lifted her off the ground, sucking her into the portal. It was as if a powerful wind was blowing her up, but they couldn't' feel anything.

"SANGO!"

"Help you guys! -" She shrieked in fear, trying to reach back down, but then she was gone and the portal was sealed, Botan, Keiko, and Miroku staring in horror.

The Higurashi Shrine…

"YOU GUYS!"

A portal opened up beside the devastated teens and Botan with the shopping group appeared, "you guys!"

Kuwabara frowned, "Where's Sango?"

"Where's Kagome?" Miroku gaped.

"Sango's been kidnapped!"

(Yawn) I can't believe it, I'm already tired and it's only 12pm. Aww well…better to sleep now or I'll be like Gaara, black rims around his eyes. XD!
