Kagome jumps up and begins dancing around the living room holding the end of her tail to her chest. She runs at her father and hugs him tight then realises him and steps over to her mother and hugs her just as tight. Then she sits back down and smiles softly towards Kuwabara and Kurama before turning her attention back to her parents, "so why now?" her mother speaks up, "You have the nearly completed Shikon no Tama correct?" Kagome nods, so her father speaks, "Two very powerful Saiyans are on their way here to destroy the Earth, they seek to combine the power of the Shikon with the seven Dragon Balls to make the Dragon's power infinate."
Kagome digests this and her face sets into a deadly scowl, "I will not let more death and destruction come due to that cursed jewel. If they want it they will have to talk it from my rotting corpse." Everyone in the room swallows nervously, if she had reacted that badly to that bit of news then the rest will really set her off. "We also have reason to believe that someone in the past may be helping these saiyans..." Kagome cuts him off right there with an inhuman snarl, "Naraku." "Yes." Kagome rises suddenly grabbing both Kuwabara's and Kurama's wrists and pulling them into the kitchen.
Closing the door behind them she says is a soft yet deadly voice, "You two gather as many warriors from reiki as you possibly can and gather any good fighters from the ningenkai. Kurama find Hiei and have him search out the best in the maiki. If he argues tell him he still owes me." Both boys nod and flee out the door to do her bidding and she walks back into the living room her face relaxed from the severe scowl it had held before. "How long?" "Best we can guess is a little over a year and a half." Kagome nods and walks upstairs the tip of her new tail held between her hands.
Kunloon and Goku look at each other and shrug, "well that went pretty well." "Indeed. She has some of the stubborness of both of us." Kunloon chuckles and nods, "Can I intrest you in a homecooked meal?" Goku nods vigorously (O.O big word) and they rise and head into the kitchen, Kunloon already thinking of what she should make given the fact that Goku can eat like a starving army all by himself. Kunloon pulls out four large pots and begins making oden in every one of them. As it finishes up Kagome catches whiff of the oden on the air and runs downstairs. Kunloon and Goku look at her and Kunloon has to bite back a gasp, Kagome had changed into blue black hakamas, a midnight blue inner haori, a black outer haori, and a thin black obi. On Kagome's feet are karate slippers and her hair is tied back in a severe french braid.
Kagome sits down and begins digging in as soon as her mother sets the heaping plate in front of her. Inhaling her helping she rises, "If anyone needs me I will be in the back courtyard. Don't mind any noises coming from there." With that Kagome sprints out the door closing it behind herself. Kunloon looks at Goku and raises and eyebrow, Goku shrugs as he continues to pile food into his mouth. The sound of clashing weapons and animalistic growls causes Goku to finally abandon the table in favor of checking on his only daughter. He walks outside and sees her handling her own against and oni three times her size. Goku climbs up into the god tree and lounges against the trunk as he watches the scene below.
Kagome kills the oni and spits on it's carcass. "Any who feel that u wouldn't have been able to beat that oni leave now. Don't waste my time." Two or three smaller youkai's flee back to maiki. Kagome nods, "Next?" A elegant looking demon with snow white hair steps forward, Kagome grins and runs to him hugging him tight, "Oh Sesshy-kun I can't believe you came. You've made me so happy." Sesshoumaru wraps one arm around her and holds her close, "You knew I would." Many youkai started to creep back to the Maiki, none wanting to challenge someone that is so obviously close with the King of Maiki.
Sesshoumaru move to place a chaste kiss of honor upon Kagome's brow but she looks up just then and instead of his lips landing on her forehead they landed on hers. Both froze, though there had been an undeniable attraction between them neither had broached the topic of where to go with it. Sesshoumaru finally was able to move and stepped back. He gestures for her to spin slowly with just one claw, and Kagome does just that. Sesshoumaru sees her tail and snags the end of it pulling her to a stop. "Explain." Kagome swallows wondering how to tell him...
