HI! Sorry for the delay. Next chap on the way!
A Feudal Era Adventure
Chapter 2
They all walked in silence on their journey back to Kaede's hut. Inuyasha kept a watchful eye on the new comers. Miroku kept a watchful eye on the female new comers. Kagome watched over Sango.
"Good Lord…" Hirina muttered.
"What?" Mika asked.
"Hey, Miko lady!" Hirina called.
"What?" Kagome asked, looking at the short girl.
"How long have you been coming here?"
"About two and a half years now, why?"
"I just want to know… what the fuck is wrong with you."
"What!"
"Why the hell are you in a skirt that short and you know there are demons here to fight? You just want people looking at your ass don't you?"
Kemiko, Mika, Yusuke, and Kuwabara busted out laughing. Kurama blinked, and Hiei was no where to be found.
"…!" Kagome's mouth hit the floor.
"Just saying" Hirina shrugged.
"Do you see what you are wearing? You stinking' little hypocrite!"
"Fuck you slut!"
"Yo mamma, BITCH!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
"Up yours."
Inuyasha stared at Kagome in shock. He had never seen her use such language before. Of course he had seen her get mad but… this was… outrageous! Hirina grinned. She loved doing that to people… then she sweat dropped… just as much as Kemiko loved scaring her… She looked at Kemiko who had a smile on her face. When Kemiko noticed Hirina looking, she had an evil glint in her eye.
"OOOOO RIIIIINNNNAAAA!" she called.
"Oh hell…" Hirina mumbled before running behind Mika. "STAY AWAY!" Kemiko grinned. Before anything else could be said or done, a dust cloud came toward them at an alarming rate. Yusuke turned toward the cloud. Kuwabara watched it come with a blank expression.
"Oh great… just what we needed… that mangy wolf" Inuyasha mumbled. Hirina heard this and glared at him.
"KAGOME!" the cloud yelled.
"OH MY GOD! THAT CLOUD CAN TALK!" Mika yelled.
"Koga?" Kagome asked, slightly shocked, but not at the same time. Soon the cloud disappeared right in front of her and was replaced by a man that automatically took her hands.
"Kagome? Are you hurt? I sensed a lot of demons around… and I was worried." Koga said, his blue, pupil-less eyes stared deep into hers.
"No. I'm fine, but thank you for your concern… K-Koga!" Kagome saw Koga turn around in alarm and start to growl. Kagome looked at him.
Hirina cocked her head to the side. She smiled slightly. "Awww. Ain't he cute?"
"What was that, bastard!" Koga yelled.
"No no no. Not bastard, it's bitch."
"Why do you keep calling yourself a bitch?" Miroku asked.
"It's what I am… a female dog… but to be more specific, I am only a part of the dog family…" She grinned, "I always considered wolves to be higher than the regular dog."
Koga's growl stopped. All was quiet until the heard a sniff. All eyes turned to the source of the sniff: Kemiko. She sniffed again, as her eyes got watery. All her friends looked at her, as well has everyone else. Soon, she was crying, giving everybody the biggest, most watery, kitty eyes ever.
"Why am I the only animal that's not a part of the doggy family! It's not fair! IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT!" she pouted as everyone else face faulted.
"Hn… your an idiot."
Kemiko looked up at Hiei, who had just arrived, and was standing by a tree. She frowned, "Jerk…"
"We don't have time for this. We need to get the slayer to the village. We can't get the jewel shards without her." Hiei said, surprising everyone.
"Hey! The shrimp actually cares for someone!" Kuwabara yelled.
Hiei stared at him with half-mooned eyes. "No you baka! I mean it because the mutt, the wench, and the monk won't let us leave until she is healed. And I do NOT want to stay here very long. The sooner we the get the shards, the sooner we go home."
"I have to agree." Kurama added.
"Kagome… I do not trust these demons. Let us leave… I shall protect you." Koga said, still a little weary about the cute wolf he had just… wait… cute!
"It's ok Koga. I promise." Kagome replied, smiling softly.
"Ok Kagome. I trust your judgment." Koga grinned, "Later Kagome!" He called, before becoming that tornado shaped dust cloud once again, and took off.
"Now… if you don't mind… can we go…?" Mika asked.
"Feh."
----------
It was about mid-afternoon and Inuyasha was watching over Kagome and the others, while keeping an eye on the newbies. Sango was up and about; five minutes after Hirina had healed her. Inuyasha had made a big deal out of the fact that they could have just done that earlier.
"Hey, guys?" Mika said.
"What?" Yusuke asked, "And don't say chicken butt!"
"I wasn't. I was going to say that there is a hot spring around here… and uhh… well… I need a bath… and I was wondering… if we could go…"
"Why are you asking permission?" Hirina asked, standing up.
"Yeah, the time when women needed permission for everything is over! We are strong and independent!" Kemiko yelled, getting dramatic.
"Oh shut up."
"Hey!"
"AS I was saying, "Mika interrupted, glaring at her friends, "The girls could go first and you guys could go next…"
"Feh..."
"Great! It's settled then. Let's go girls!" Mika yelled promptly, standing up, Kemiko and Hirina by her side. "Are you two coming?" She asked sweetly to Sango and Kagome.
The girls in question looked at each other uneasily. Kagome sighed and stood up. Sango stood with her, picking up her Hiraikotsu and taking it with her. They followed the three girls to the hot springs that Mika said she saw. When they reached there, they saw a huge hot spring in the woods.
"Well… I'll test the water… uh… maybe I wont… heh…" Kemiko sweat dropped. She didn't like water… She sighed and pulled off her shirt, revealing a black bra, and a curvy upper body. "Would you please not stare…?" She snapped at the Miko and Slayer. "Humph." She turned her back on them to take of her pants and put them next to her shirt.
Hirina soon followed the suit, taking off her top and skirt and put them down neatly. Mika was next, doing the same thing as her friends. Mika sat on her clothes and pulled off her underwear, making sure to keep her privates concealed. She unlatched her bra and pressed her chest to her raised knees. Hirina followed Mika's example, sitting and waiting for their water tester.
"Turn around." Kemiko said.
"Why?" Hirina asked,
"I don't want you looking at my funny parts!"
"Oh…"
They all stopped looking. Kagome and Sango were already naked and waited for Kemiko to finish her evaluation of the water.
"Here I go." Kemiko announced, running forward and jumped into the water with a loud splash. The girls on land waited… and waited… and waited… but no Kemiko.
"Uhh… is she dead?" Mika asked.
"I think so…" Hirina replied.
"BOO!" Kemiko screamed as she popped up at the surface.
"AHHHHHH!" each girl screamed. Kemiko laughed at them.
"KAGOME!"
All the girls turned in shock at Inuyasha's cry. Their eyes widened in horror when Miroku, Yusuke, and Kuwabara also showed up.
"…"
There was a long pause between both parties as the boys stared at the nakedness of the girls.
----------
Kurama sat down quietly, along with Hiei.
"Three… two…" Kurama counted, "one…"
"PERVERTS!"
SLAP
Hiei smirked. "They shouldn't have gone…"
"I agree"
----------
Sango and Kagome were furious. Mika and Hirina were too. Kemiko, however, was the lucky one and thought it would be better to laugh her ass off than comment.
"Oh shut up…" Hirina growled.
----------
Four very hurt boys made their way back to the camp, with lumps larger than their bodies. Kurama snickered at the sight of them, while Hiei smirked.
"I don't want to hear a word out of you two…" Yusuke glared and plopped down on the ground. "Gosh… why are they so violent?" Yusuke rubbed his bump with an anime tear in his eye.
"That… was… amazing…" Miroku muttered.
"Yes it was…" Kuwabara added.
"You will never learn, will you Kuwabara?" Kurama asked with a chuckle.
----------
Sango and Kagome remained on one side on the hot springs, while Kemiko, Mika, and Hirina stayed on the other.
"Kagome… do you think it was wise for us to come here with them?" Sango asked, watching the three friends, "They could attack us at any moment."
"I know… but they healed you when you were nearly killed by-…"
"One of their friends" Sango interrupted, "I know."
"How about we try to get to know them!"
"It's your call Kagome."
"Um… Mika… is it ok if we learn a little bit about you guys?" Kagome asked.
"Uh…" Mika looked at them with the fox eyes. (You know, the time when their eyes looks closed but their not. If you read Naruto or see Love Hina's, Mitsune, then you should know.) "Sure."
"Ok then… tell us things you like, hate, and what your hobbies are." (Thank You Kakashi! Lol)
"Well! I like cats, I hate bugs, and I like to draw." Kemiko said.
"I like foxes. I hate barbies, and I like to burn them!" Mika said. (A/N: lol. I had to put that)
"I like wolves. I hate… pink… and my hobbies are none of your business." Hirina said. Sango and Kagome sweat dropped. They turned away from the girls, a bit pissed that they really didn't learn anything. They looked at the girls once more, upon hearing a lot of splashing, only to see them having a water fight… They seemed so normal… yet they were so dangerous.
----------
It was getting late. The girls had finished their bath, and so had the boys. Now they were settling in for a nice meal that Kaede had provided for them.
"YAY! FOOD!" Yusuke and Kuwabara yelled simultaneously, digging into their meals, eating dangerously. Kagome winced inwardly. That was just plain nasty…
"Soooo…" Kagome said, trying to start a conversation. "Tell us a little about yourself." Inuyasha perked up at this and decided to keep quiet, because he wanted to know more about them… If he found one thing, just one little thing that seemed out of place, he would kill them all! (A/N: pfft, If he could…)
"I'll go first!" Yusuke stood up, his normal arrogant junior high self returned. "The names Yusuke Urameshi, number one punk at Seriyashiki Junior High!" He pumped a fist in the air, his arrogant nature radiating off of him.
"I am Kazuma Kuwabara, the real number one punk at Seriyashiki junior High!" Kuwabara said.
"Yeah right!"
"Shut up Urameshi! You know I'm better than you!"
"I'll kick your ass right now!"
"Yusuke-kun, Kuwabara-kun, I might want to point out that you are no longer at Middle school. Kuwabara-kun, you are in fact in college. And Yusuke-kun, you don't attend school at all." Kurama pointed out politely, using those endings just to annoy the boys.
"Why thank you Kurama-sama, how foolish of us to forget…" Yusuke twitched, not liking the 'kun' added to his name.
"Well, I see that you two are most likely done with your 'introductions', so I guess I'll go next." Kurama smiled at the pouting boys, "I am Shuichi Minamino, also known as Kurama." He said, skillfully leaving out the 'Youko' part of his name.
"I'm Mika Morena (was that it Mika?) And well… uh… yeah." Mika said, sweat dropping.
"I'm Hirina Moronto and that's all you need to know." Hirina stared at them, daring them to ask any questions.
"And I'm Kemiko Kuro, and I like kitties! YAY!" Kemiko smiled.
"Hn."
"And that would be Hiei." Kemiko pointed to the black blur that just shaped into a figure in a tree.
"Now, I have a question for you!" Hirina said causing Kemiko to grin evilly as she stared at her friend's unsuspecting victims, who stared back.
"Miko lady… are you in love with Dog breath over there?"
Kagome and Inuyasha turned many shades of red. "NO!" They looked at each other and blushed deeper and looked away. Kemiko smiled, but it faded immediately when she saw Yusuke's face. He had a small smile on his face, staring off into the campfire they had created. Even though a normal person would think that he was smiling at them, she could clearly see the pain in his eyes… the pain of loss.
Mika noticed it to and hastily tried to change the subject, "uhh…" but as you could see… that didn't work. Yusuke got up and walked off quietly, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kilala, and Kaede watching in confusion, while Kuwabara and the rest of the Reikai Tantei watch sadly. Mika stood up and went to follow him but Kurama grabbed her hand, shaking his head gently.
"Let him be alone for a while."
Mika shook her head and pulled her hand back, "He's already believes that he is alone… he needs to know that he isn't." Kurama stared at her for a second and then smiled. She smiled back and ran off after Yusuke.
Hirina watched the three tailed Kitsune and sighed. "I shouldn't have asked that…"
"Don't blame yourself." Kemiko said, "You wouldn't know if he would react like that."
"…"
Kuwabara was also silent, knowing that this wasn't the time to be loud.
"Hn. Ningen emotions will be the end of you." Hiei said, "No good comes out of it."
"Hiei! Can you really be that cold?" Hirina asked, "He's your partner, your comrade, he's your friend!"
"I don't have friends." Hiei glared at her.
"At least have a heart Hiei," Kemiko pleaded, staring up at him, "He lost someone special to him… You can't tell me that you don't have at least one person in your life that you care about."
Hiei remained silent, knowing that she was right. That person she was referring to was his sister, Yukina. He could never hate her, and probably couldn't live if she hated him… but maybe Kemiko didn't know that… he loved her too…
----------
"Yusuke… Yusuke wait up!"
Yusuke stopped and the edge of a cliff, upon hearing Mika's calls. He looked over the cliff, see the rocky hills below, and looked up to the sky, which was a beautiful mix of blue, orange, pink, and purple. Sometimes, staring at a sunset was always comforting to him. He used to watch them with the love of his life… the one who took her life back… the one who couldn't wait anymore… his best friend and lover… Keiko Yukimora.
"Yusuke, are you ok?" Mika asked upon reaching him.
"Yeah… I'm fine… Why do you ask?"
"Because you left so quickly… and I just…" Mika trailed off, not really knowing what else to say.
"It's ok Mika… I'm fine."
"But…" She looked down, saddened that she couldn't do anything. Yusuke didn't respond nor did he look at her. He just wanted to be left alone for a while. It's not that he didn't like her…or think that she was annoying or anything, but he just wanted to gather his thoughts a little. He was just about to open his mouth to make his request, but when he felt two arms encircle his body, and a wave of warmth cover him, he just forgot all that he wanted to say, and melted into her touch.
"M-Mika?"
"I know it's hard… I know what it feels like to lose someone that you care about." She whispered to him, her breath tickling his neck. "You feel alone… and abandoned… like no one cares for you anymore… but I want you to know Yusuke… that you're not alone… you're never alone." With that, Mika let him go and walked off back towards the camp.
Yusuke's heart sank a little when the warm feeling left him. He turned around to see Mika's retreating back, before looking back towards the sunset. He stared at it a little bit and looked down, smiling as he did so.
"Thank you Mika… Thank you for caring…"
----------
RIIIIIIING
"Ugh…"
RIIIIIIING
Mumble mumble
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
"Ok… ok… I'm up, I'm up!" Hirina muttered, looking around the room, and then blinked in confusion. The constant ringing she heard came from Yusuke's pocket. She started to crawl towards him but noticed that she couldn't when she felt to arms wrap around her and held her tighter.
"No mommy… I don't wanna go to school today… Noooo…. Leave my teddy awone!..." Kemiko muttered in her sleep, holding onto Hirina.
"Oh lord… Why do I have to sleep next to the clingy koneko?" Hirina poked Kemiko in the side, effectively waking her up.
"Huh?" The girl rubbed her eyes and looked at Hirina, "Is it time for school already?"
"No you idiot!" Hirina whispered harshly, "Now shuddup before you wake the others." Hirina crawled over to Yusuke, picked up the communicator in his pocket, and ran outside along with Kemiko. When they got outside, Hirina flipped open the communicator and Botan's face appeared.
"Botan?" Kemiko asked looking at the unusually serious face of the normally cheerful grim reaper. "What's going on?"
"I have just obtained more information on the jewel shards that you're supposed to find." She said, looking down for a second, and was seemingly flipping through some papers that were on a desk. "It seems as if most of the jewel shards are with a hanyou called, Naraku. He is a master at tricking people into doing what they normally wouldn't… He loves toying with their emotions."
"Ok… so… You want us to kill this Naraku guy?" Hirina asked.
"Bingo! But even if you do that, you will still have more shards to collect." Botan responded.
"Well, we are in the group with the Miko and Hanyou, by the name of Inuyasha. The Miko is better at detecting the shards than we are so we thought it would be good to work with them."
"How will you get the shards when you collect them all?" Botan inquired, tilting her head to the side slightly. "Because I'm sure their not going to just give them too you..."
"Don't worry Botan. We have our ways." Hirina grinned.
"Well good luck."
"Thanks" With that Hirina closed the communicator ending the conversation. She looked at her taller, darker skinned companion.
"Hmmm… Naraku huh?" Kemiko started, "Sounds hot."
"Oh my gosh, you idiot!" Both girls laughed and went back into the hut, sitting down in a corner. Kurama walked up to them, startling both of them.
"HEY! Don't do that!" Kemiko whisper-yelled.
"My apologies." Kurama said with a smile, "I was just curious as to what you were talking about with Botan."
"Oh. She told us of the hanyou by the name of Naraku who has a lot of the shards. She wants us to target him and then collect the left over fragments." Mika answered, causing the girls to jump. Kurama looked at Mika with a quizzical look.
"May I ask how you knew?"
"I'm a fox, Kurama. You should know we have our ways of gathering information." Mika grinned.
"In other words…you listened to the conversation." Kurama smirked slightly.
"Wow… you are smart." Mika giggled and looked at her two friends. "Hi."
"Hi" Yusuke and Kuwabara both responded.
"AHH! WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT!" Kemiko yelled.
"Doing what?" Miroku asked.
"That!" Hirina yelled.
"What?" Sango questioned, wondering what all the fuss is a bout.
"Stop popping up out of no where God dammit!"
Everyone else sweat dropped, shrugged, and walked out of the hut. Kagome was up and in a corner, watching them silently with Shippo in her lap. She saw Hirina grumble and stare at Kemiko who was currently twitching. Hirina poked the taller girl in the arm, "Kitty?" she asked.
"…"
"Kiiitttyyy?" Hirina poked her in the side getting a response from the girl.
"Would you stop that?" She asked with a mock glare.
"It's fun!" She replied, poking her again. She grinned every time Kemiko jumped. The koneko stood up and frowned.
"Come on! Cut it out!"
"I don't wanna!" Hirina responded childishly before wrapping her arms around Kemiko's shoulders, "And I wuv you!"
Kemiko sighed, "Whatever." Both girls walked outside, Hirina clinging to her friend. Unfortunately for them, Kagome, who was still in the hut, was left with the wrong impression…
'Oh… My… God… They're…?' Her eyes widened and a disgusted look came over her face. 'EW!'
----------
Once everyone was outside and ready to go, Kagome thanked Kaede for the stay and told Inuyasha that she sensed a jewel shard nearby. Inuyasha was already for battle, and was quick to assume that this new demon was another one of Naraku's creation.
After walking for about 10 minutes, Mika stopped dead in her tracks and looked behind her. The rest of the group stopped too, not knowing what was wrong with her. It wasn't long before Kurama started acting the same way too, staring off into the distance, in the same direction Mika was looking in. A couple of seconds later, Mika and Kurama turned around to all eyes on them.
"Ne, naze minna wa mite dan dattebayo?" (1)Mika whispered to Kurama who shrugged.
"Nani?" Kurama questioned.
"Nani?... WHAT DO YOU MEAN NANI! YOU TWO JUST TOTALLY SPACED OUT!" Yusuke cried, a little louder than they needed him to be.
"Yusuke, chotto shizukani shirou… minna wa miteru ze…" (2) Hirina said, staring at the foxes. Whatever had caught their attention like that must have been something that only foxes can sense, or only they respond to it.
"Well… let's go…" Mika announced, walking off in front of the group with Kurama by her side. Their eyes were calm and gently looking. "Kurama…?"
"Yes Mika… I heard it too… And I must admit that I am a little saddened of its departure…" Kurama answered, knowing exactly what she was going to ask him.
"It just makes me feel so relaxed… so happy… I felt like I was living a dream…" Mika sighed. Kurama remained silent.
"Yes… I miss it…" Kurama finally said after a couple of moments.
"I miss it too… and Kurama… I'm going to do whatever it takes… to get it back…Will you join me?" Mika and Kurama's eyes hardened.
"Yes… And we will eliminate anyone in our way…" Kurama finished, ending the conversation that was unheard by the rest of the gang. Kurama felt a slight pressure on his shoulder and looked to see Shippo.
"You both heard it?" He asked.
"How-?"
"I saw your eyes before you went in front of us. It was calm and didn't show the discomfort that everyone else felt. So I just guess that…" The little kit trailed off, knowing very well that the others knew what he was trying to say.
"Yes we did…" Mika said with a smile. The three foxes continued in front of the rest of the gang, remembering the sweet melody they had just heard.
----------
A figure sat in an empty room, staring into a white haired girl Mirror with piercing red eyes (and the blue eye shadow). His long, dark brown hair cascaded down his back in silky, flowing waves. The albino (sp?) looking girl watched with emotionless eyed and waited for her master to dismiss her.
"Has the deed been accomplished?" They man asked and woman who had just entered. She bowed, her brown hair held into a high pony tail, and replied, "Yes Sir. The foxes have heard the song of the Yokobue (3), all is going according to plan."
"Hmm… You did a wonder full job… Kagura… Kanna, you are dismissed."
"Yes Naraku-sama." Kagura replied and walked out along with her 'sister', Kanna. Naraku stared into space with a sinister grin on his face.
"It won't be long… until they're mine…"
----------
Miroku watched Mika walk in a daze, focusing on her butt. 'I am the luckiest man in the world…' He thought.
"And you'd better stop staring or you won't even be in this world…"
"AH! Who said that!" Miroku yelled, swinging around in confusion and alert.
"What are you blabbing about now monk?" Inuyasha growled out. Miroku looked at him incrediculously.
"You didn't hear it?" He inquired, tilting his head to the side in a cute manner.
"Oh great… Now the houshi is hearing voices…" Sango stared at him. "Maybe you're sick…"
Miroku sighed, "Never mind." He turned back, not missing the grin on Kemiko and Hirina's lips.
"You're evil Rina…" Kemiko whispered.
"He shouldn't be staring at Mika like that!" Hirina protested, pouting as she watched Miroku carefully.
"Whate…" Kemiko trailed off and stopped walking.
"Oh come on… Not this again!" Kuwabara whinned.
"No… It's a jewel shard… 50 meters that way!" She said, pointing east.
"Yeah… I sense it too…" Kagome said, "But it's faint." She gasped in shock, "And now it's heading our way! And fast!"
Inuyasha jumped in front of Kagome, ready to strike anyone. Kurama walked up to him with his hands in his pocket.
"Inuyasha, calm down. It's no one to be of." He said simply.
"How would you know!"
"Because that is Hiei."
Inuyasha turned around to see Hiei standing in front of him, glaring at the hanyou with piercing crimson eyes.
"Hn." Hiei scoffed and went to Yusuke and handed him something. Kagome gasped.
"T-the jewel shard? How did you…?"
"I killed a demon. I took the shard from its arm. Anything else you want to know?" He spat. He turned before anyone could respond and jumped into a tree and sat in it, waiting for the next approach.
Kurama sighed. "You could have at least been a little kinder Hiei."
"Hn."
"Inuyasha! I sense another jewel shard!" Kagome said. Inuyasha tensed.
"I also smell the awful stench of graveyard soil…" Inuyasha paused. "Jakotsu!" (A/n: yes the band of seven is here. Mukotsu, Genkotsu and Kyokotsu are dead. Jakotsu, Suikotsu, Renkotsu, and Bankotsu, are alive)
It wasn't long before a figure stopped in front of them. It was a lady in a kimono, with dark brown hair held in a high pony tail. She had led lipstick on and two purple marks below her eyes.
"Inuyasha! I haven't seen you for sooo long! I missed you!" Wait… her voice was so masculine… wait… THAT'S A GUY! Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hirina, Mika, and Kemiko's mouth dropped. Kurama's eyes widened, and Hiei remained emotionless.
"HOLY SHIT!" Mika yelled.
"THAT'S A GUY!" Kemiko back her up.
"FAG!" Hirina screamed. Yusuke and Kuwabara burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
"He's even girlier than Kurama!" Kuwabara yelled. Kurama Glared at the Baka.
"Kuwabara… that is enough." Kurama growled out. They all shut up immediately.
"Kuwabara! How dare you insult the king!" Hirina yelled, punching him over the head. "You must hold a civil tongue in his presence!" The three girls giggled. Inuyasha ignored them.
"What do you ant Jakotsu?" He spat, glaring at the feminine male.
"Why Inuyasha… you have all these beautiful mean with you… Oh how I wish I were you." Jakotsu had stars in his eyes. "All of them… except that one…" He pointed at Kuwabara, "…seem absolutely delicious…"
Hirina, Kemiko, and Mika looked at each other. "Did he just…" Kemiko started, unable to finish.
"I believe he did." Mika finished.
"Now… I normally don't mind gay guys… but there is no way in hell I am gonna let you hit on my friends!" Kemiko shouted and lunged at him, shocking everyone.
Jakotsu easily dodged her half-hearted attempt to hurt him. "My my my… A frisky one aren't we?" He teased. He raised his sword and Kemiko tensed, waiting for what he would do. Jakotsu brought his sword down and it ran in a snake like motion, shocking the Reikai Tantei. Everyone jumped out the way before the blades could rip them to shreds.
In the dust, Kemiko couldn't see anything. The smoke was clouding her senses as she choked. She gasped when Jakotsu appeared in front of her, the smoke getting caught in her throat. She did the first thing that came to mind, which was to cling to Jakotsu, causing him to lose balance. She took this to her advantage and spun their bodies around so that he was underneath her. She then slammed his body into the ground and sprung away from him before the broken rock and debris could hit her.
Kemiko looked at Jakotsu's fallen body with a smirk. Everyone else looked at her in shock.
"Oh shit…" Mika muttered.
"What?" Kagome asked. Sango was also interested in what the dark haired girl had to say.
"Something isn't right… Kemiko never jumps head first into battle… She's always too sweet to do that." Mika answered, seeing Kemiko's smirk. Hirina grimaced.
"Unless…" Hirina glanced at Mika who looked back. "Did you say or see anyone who could have triggered her?"
Mika shook her head. "I don't know."
Sango and Kagome stared in confusion. Before either one of them could say anything, their attention was brought back to the fight. Kemiko had taken Jakotsu's sword and was looking at it curiously. Jakotsu got to his feet and glared at the girl who smiled.
"Give me back my sword!"
"No." she stuck her tongue out. Jakotsu growled and lunged at her. The girl threw the sword away, only for it to be caught by Hiei. She readied her self for Jakotsu's attack. He threw a punch at her face. She grabbed his fist and spun him around and slammed him on his back. He retaliated by jumping back up and back handing her. Kemiko's snapped to the side. She slowly turned her head back to him and smirked. She licked the blood off of her lips.
Jakotsu's eyes widened. This girl was so crazy! He threw another punch. She caught his fist again and instead of flipping him, she slammed her hands down on his elbow, causing his arm to fly up and hit him in the face. She then quickly kicked him, sending the man threw many trees. Kemiko grinned. Her smile faded, however, when Hirina put a hand in her shoulder and pulled her back.
"Hey!" Kemiko protested.
"You think we'd let you steal all the fun!" Hirina grinned. "He has a shard in his neck. Is that why you attacked?"
"Yea… and… I wanted to let off some steam…"
"Why?"
"…"
Hiei came next to them. "This is a strange sword."
"Naw… really?" Hirina asked sarcastically.
"Oh come on!" Kemiko stated as Hiei glared at Hirina. She wrapped her arms around the shorter boy and pulled him close. "Stop picking on people!" It took everything in Hiei's power to restrain the blush that was making it's way it his cheeks.
"Hmph. Whatever."
Jakotsu stood up shakily, blood pouring from his wounds. He didn't like this. He had to retreat. With all the strength he could gather, he dashed forward and grabbed the sword from Hiei's hands while being hugged by Kemiko, and ran off.
"Jakotsu!" Inuyasha yelled. "Get back here!" He growled. "Dammit!"
"Calm down Inuyasha!" Miroku said. "Getting frustrated now wont help us get through the barriers of Mount Hakurei!" Miroku stated.
"Mt. Hakurei?" Kurama asked.
"Yes. We recently learned that it is being protected by a strong barrier that repels all demons and impure being from going through. It is created by Saint Hakushin. We feel that Naraku is hiding in there." Miroku explained.
"Naraku?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yea. He's this mean half demon who like playing tricks on people and makes them hate each other! He's a cold hearted killer and doesn't even care about those who help him." Shippo said, standing on Kagome's shoulder.
"But you sad the barrier repels demons, right?" Yusuke asked.
"Then hanyous shouldn't make a difference." Hiei finished.
"It seems as if Saint Hakushin created a partnership with Naraku." Sango added, Kilala perched on her shoulder.
"So it seems Naraku is on Mt. Hakurei, replenishing his strength, along with the Shinichinitai, who we recently found out is working for him." Kagome finished.
"Shinichinitai?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yes, that is the Band of Seven." Miroku answered.
"That bastard Jakotsu was on of them. Mukotsu, Kyokotsu, and Genkotsu are already dead. Suikotsu, Renkotsu and Bankotsu are the other three, adding Jakotsu, and they are the last of the Band of Seven." Inuyasha explained.
"Why are they called that?" Kemiko asked.
"In the past, they were ruthless killers in their past. It was one day when they were capture and beheaded." Shippo said.
"Then… how are they here now?" Mika asked, staring at the group of Shard hunters.
"Naraku resurrected them, and put the shard in their neck." Kagome said.
"Wow… we have a heel of a lot a work to do here…" Hirina muttered.
"We're never gonna get home are we?" Yusuke asked.
Everyone remained silent. That was a question not even god could answer.

THERE! I AM FINISHED! I am sooo sorry to those who waited so long for this. I left for a month, got grounded for a month, and was to lazy to type for another month! From now on, my chapters will be shorter so I can update quicker… unless you want me to keep them long. Just tell me.
(1)(2): If anyone can tell me what those two phrases mean, you can get your very own scene with either the Inu group, The Yyh group, the three OC's, or all of them. You will create rue own genre and pick your own parings and all that good stuff. All doors are open. Doors will close when the next chapter comes out. You might think that is short but… did you see how long it took for this to come out? Well… if No one can answer it I guess I'll give hints until someone can.
(3): Yokobue means flute I think.
