Kagome and Avea

"Now Kagome, listen and listen good. You have to through 2 spirit guards then the seal on the door; your miko powers should help you there. Then walk two paces into the room and use vines to knock over the statue in the far left hand corner. That should kill the traps. Then just grab the box and leave, jumping out the 3rd window on your right. Got it? Avea asked Kagome while they were waiting for the portal.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. But what about Koenma and his spirit detectives? Kagome asked.

"Don't you worry Hun, you just leave that to me." Avea said smiling wickedly.

Something about the way Avea smiled freak Kagome out, but she just put it aside as the portal came. What Avea did to them was none of her business.

Spirit Detectives

They were all sitting around in the safe, with all the traps turned off, waiting for the thief to show up. Which seemed to be taking a long time, weren't thieves supposed to be on time?

Suddenly they heard soft footsteps walking towards the safe entrance. Getting up off the ground they got into attack position. The door of the safe opened up and Naguma, one of the spirit world workers, walked in.

"Hello there, I'm sorry you have been waiting in here for so long, but it seems that the thief has been captured by Koenma's spies. I've been told to bring you back to Koenma." Naguma told them a saddened expression on her face.

"What! The thief has been captured? How long ago?" Yusuke demanded, after he got out of his fighting stance. It better not have been long, or the toddler was going to pay.

"About half an hour ago." Naguma informed.

"Half an hour! Damn! That toddler is dead!"

And with that Yusuke stormed past Naguma and out the door intent on strangling Koenma, when he stopped halfway down the hallway and walked back to the others. "Um I don't know the way."

Everyone sweat dropped.

"I will lead the way. Everyone please follow me." Naguma said. Walking out the door and turning the opposite way Yusuke had taken.

Kagome

She walked down the long corridor watching Avea lead the spirit detectives away. She almost burst out laughing at how easily they were fooled, but refrained herself from doing so.

Kagome took off her invisibility spell when she got to the door. Opening it up she was about to go inside; when she noticed the red head had stopped and was turning around.

For some odd reason she was frozen in place, and only started up again when Avea's voice rang in her head to hurry up. But the damage was done. The red head had seen her and was making his way towards her. Running into the room she grabbed the box and ran back out heading away from the red head, she dashed to the window, her only escape.

Kurama's POV

We were being lead to Koenma, when I realized I had forgotten my book I was reading in the safe. Telling Hiei where I would be, I headed back for it, when I saw the thief. She was standing outside the safe, watching me, seemingly entranced.

I started running towards her, telling Hiei to hurry up and get here, when she suddenly ran into the room and grabbed the box, most would have never went back for the goods after being spotted, except for Youko that is.

I was almost to the room when she darted out and started running. I saw how she was aiming for the window. I knew I couldn't get her in time, when a black blur rushed by me, hurdling into the girl.

The job was done. Better help Hiei tie her up.

Kagome's POV

I was three feet away from the window, when something crashed into me. Causing me to loose my balance and fall to the floor. I was trying to get it off when vines wrapped themselves around my wrists and ankles. Well at the very least the heavy person got off me.

I flipped over onto my back, hurting my hands because of the position, and sat up. Glaring at the red head and short fire demon, I growled my hatred at them.

But that damn short guy head just smirked. Oh, when I get my hands on him he will be in so much pain.

Kurama's POV

The thief tried to struggle against Hiei, until he got off her, but my vines were in place and she couldn't go anywhere. She flipped on her back and sat up glaring at us, and growling. Well we sure had a spitfire on our hands.

I picked up the would be stolen treasure that had landed a few feet away. Walking back to the girl, who was still growling at Hiei, I grabbed her under the arm and hoisted her up and over my shoulder.

Taking her and the box to Koenma.

Regular POV

Kurama, Hiei, and a subdued Kagome, walked into Koenma's office to see Botan, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Koenma waiting for them.

Sitting Kagome on a chair, Kurama put the box on Koenma's desk then walking back to stand behind Kagome's chair.

"Well it seems you did a good job catching the thief." Koenma praised the group of spirit detectives. "So miss what is your name?" Koenma asked looking her over.

"My mother told me never to talk to strangers." Was Kagome's smart-ass reply.

"Well then how about you get to know us." Koenma said. "I am Koenma Prince of Spirit World, the one beside you in the green is Yusuke, my top spirit detective.

The one next to him is Kuwabara, the girl with the blue hair is Botan, the grim reaper, the short fire demon in the back is Hiei, and the one behind you is Kurama." Koenma told her.

Now Kagome didn't give a crap what their names were, but the name Kurama caught her attention, in a bad way.

"I do not want filth by me, so remove yourself at once." Kagome directed to Kurama, she was depressed because Youko wasn't with her, and pissed that someone would use his name.

Kurama's POV

Kurama was shocked that this girl didn't want him to stand by her. It didn't make any sense. She didn't seem to mind until Koenma had said his name; maybe she had something against Youko.

Youko, after being oddly quiet for the past hour decided to speak up after he was insulted by being called filth.

' I can't believe that little...WAIT! That scent, its hers. It just has to be'

'Youko, what are you talking about' Kurama asked his counter part. He saw Youko in his mind again, this time excited and hopping up and down. When did the feared kitsune avatar hop?

' The woman, she is my mate. Let me out so I can hold her.' Youko told him.

'Youko, are you sure? You couldn't possibly have a mate you died 300 years ago. And even if demons do live long this one isn't very old, I would say 200 at the most'

'She truly is my mate, I'll tell you all about it later. But for now, let me OUT' Youko screamed, throwing Kurama out of focus, allowing him to gain control of the body.

Youko quickly transformed, putting his arms around her and loosening the vines, were they could slip off. Bringing his head done to her ear he whispered,

"It's been a long time mate, I have missed you so."

Still thinking that the red head was behind her. She stood up, spun around and slapped him in the face yelling, "I am not your mate!"

Youko's head snapped to the side. The Spirit Gang held their breaths. No one hit Youko Kurama without getting punished or killed from it.

Putting his hand to his now stinging red cheek he whimpered slightly.

'Man his mate sure did have a hell of a slap.'

Kagome hearing him whimper, came out of the haze her anger put her in. Look up she found herself staring into molten gold eyes.

She knew those eyes, those eyes that haunted her in her dreams. But it couldn't be true, the demon that had those eyes died she saw him die.

Maybe it was a mistake; maybe he copied his image just like he copied his name. But she saw the silver locks of hair laying casually on his shoulder, than she took a step back looking at his whole face.

She gasped, there was her mate exactly as she remembered him, minus the red hand mark of course. Suddenly she felt herself get dizzy, but she couldn't faint. What if he disappeared? Choking out a sob she whispered his name, as she feel to the ground in a dead faint.

"Youko."

A.N. Ok! Wow nothing really changed in the beginning but oh well it kind of changes in the end. Not that anyone is going to reread this. I might make my sister read this though. Cause personally I think all my stories suck, but she says otherwise so I'm going to take her word for it. Ok I'm done and this chapter is redone, and since it is only 10:30 I will redo another chapter. Isn't that great?
