Blah Scene Change

Last time:

"What about Hiei? Where's he sleeping?" Kagome raises an eyebrow at Yuuske's audasity, Just go with me on this ok Hiei? On what Kags? Your "sleeping" arangements. Hn. "Well Hiei is sleeping in my room."

This Time:

Yuuske's jaw drops and a look of utter astonishment crosses Kurama's face. Kagome watches with barely contained glee, Hiei lets a small smirk flash on his normally stotic face. Red, they both smell heavily of arousal, but their scents aren't mixed to the point of mating. Really it would seem that Hiei has finally attracted a female to him, albiet a human. Red, that's just it, she doesn't smell human. Youko what do u mean? I can't place it, but I have a feeling she's probably just as forbidden as Hiei himself is.

Kagome meanwhile has been watching curiously as Kurama's eyes flash back and forth between beautiful emerald and breathtaking gold. She arches an eyebrow and clears her throat to get his attention. Kurama pulls quickly away from his conversation with Youko. "Let me guess you weren't going to tell me that you're an avitar." Kagome says calmly though the comment is laced with sarcasm.

Kurama manages to look sheepish for a brief moment then he asks, "How did you know?" Kagome smirks and opens her mouth to anwser just as Yuuske's communicator beeps. Yuuske now looks sheepish as he goes into the kitchen to anwser it. Botan's cheerful face flashes onto the screen and she chirps, "Yuuske, I was informed to tell you that you have a mission." Yuuske barely contains a snarl, "Nani?" Botan giggles, "Hai, the mission is to get as much rest and relaxation as possible!" Yuuske rolls his eyes at Botan's antics, "Thanx Botan."

Botan dissappears from the screen only to reappear directly in front of Yuuske. Yuuske growls and glares at Botan, "How am I supposed to explain how you got in the house?" To his greatest dismay it's Kagome who anwsers, having walked into the room. She nods to Botan who bows deeply in return, "Lady Botan it's been a while." "Hai, Kagome-sama that it has." "Are you planning on staying Lady Botan?"

"Hai Kagome-sama if it's ok with you, someone needs to keep Yuuske in line." Yuuske watches in astonishment as both women hug, "Onegai Kagome-sama call me Botan." "Only if you drop the honorific." Botan shakes her head, "Can't do that Kagome-sama." "Then I will continue to call you Lady Botan unless you would rather be called Lady Death."

Kurama and Hiei listen attentively to the conversation. "No Kagome-sama i would rather you not call me that." Kagome nods and smiles, "So how is the runt anyway? I haven't seen him in forever." "Kagome-sama you know he hates being called runt, but Koemna-sama is doing well." Kagome nods, "I know but it's so much fun. How is Yama? I haven't seen him since he was runt's size." "Doing well. He told me to tell you he says hello and that he misses your counsil."

"Lady Botan would you open a portal directly into Yama's office for me?" at Botan's indecision Kagome sighs, "Don't worry I have no intention of bringing harm to him, actually I want something from him." Botan nods, smiles, and opens the portal. After Kagome steps through and the portal closes behind her Botan turns to the previously forgotten spirit detectives with a slightlyguilty look, "Hey boys." Yuuske is the first to speak up, "Botan how do you know Kags?"

Botan looks suprised and speaks before she thinks, "How could I not know Kagome-sama? After all it was her who gave me my oar." Yuuske being shacked quickly begins to resemble a fish out of water. Botan quickly claps a hand over her mouth and leaves the room at a near run, heading for Kagome's room to get a change of clothes.

Meanwhile w/ Kagome

"Yama." "Ah Lady Kagome, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

Hahahaha cliffy! yay!
