Look into my eyes,
What do you see?
Do see that, which you hate,
Or is it just I?

The Future
A devilish smirk twisted her features as she stood upon the metal flagpole. Her blue eyes searched the rooftops for her next victim as she patiently waited. She had eternity to wait for her victims; it just got boring. A door squeaked open and she grinned in triumph, her victim had showed. She spread her wings, which were still a gloriouspearl and took flight. She landed behind him and studied the human with praise. The angel sighed and pulled out her list as she searched for this human. She checked off his name and grinned in delight. Finally, this monster would be put to rest.
Mori Morimoto had killed at least two wives in an attempt to gain their wealth. Kagome stuffed the list back into her sleeve and growled with disgust. The humans were nothing but conniving scum that needed to be extinguished. He stepped on the ledge of the roof and stared out at the sky. He took a foot off the ledge and stepped back in fear. Kagome growled and floated up to him. She rested her hands on his shoulders and grinned. No one could see her or her fallen brethren. They were just a story in a book warning humans.
Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and sighed. She could only speak to the humans and influence them; she couldn't force them into anything. A grin crossed her face as she put her lips next to his ear.
"It's better this way," Kagome whispered into his ear.
Tears streamed down his face as he shook his head. He reached out and pulled at his hair. Kagome's eyes strayed up to the heavens and she grinned.
'Watch me take another one from you,' she snickered in her mind.
"Everyone will be safer this way…you'll be safer," Kagome softly promised.
She was nothing but the little voice in the back of his mind.
"I don't want to die…" the man sobbed.
"Can't let the police get you…you don't want to be locked up?" Kagome questioned.
"The police! They already found their bodies," the man panicked as he stepped up on the ledge.
"You'll be locked up…put away and still killed," Kagome promised as she glared at his form.
"God help me," the man whispered as the tears streamed down his face.
Kagome frowned at this and pulled away as he whispered it repeatedly. Her frown turned into a smirk as she watched another figure descend. She stood to the side of the man as the angel floated in front of them. Her black hair flowed down her back and softly moved in an unseen wind. Her two wings glowed with heavenly energy and her brown eyes searched the two at the ledge. Kagome softly waved to the angel and watched her.
"Hello Kaede," Kagome greeted.
"Hold your tongue," Kaede coldly said. Kagome smirked at her attitude.
"I'm only doing my job," Kagome sang as she leaned over to the man's ear.
"Just one step and you'll be free," Kagome promised.
Kaede's eyes narrowed and she pushed Kagome away. Kagome huffed at the angel and grinned.
"I see you're still an angel," Kagome mocked.
"I see you're still rotten to the core," Kaede snapped back.
"No wonder you're not moving in rank…you still have a temper," Kagome laughed.
"You will not interfere with this human Kagome," Kaede warned.
"But he's a murderer!" Kagome shouted in outrage.
"You know he takes in all that asks for help," Kaede pointed out with smug grin.
Kagome fumed with anger as her wings spread open. She pointed at Kaede as she shook with rage.
"Then why didn't he let me back in?" Kagome demanded.
"That is not my place to tell," Kaede regretfully whispered. Kagome placed her hand on the man's shoulder and winked at Kaede.
"God won't save you…where was he when you had no food? Where was he when you had no hope? Take one step and free yourself…if God cares then he'll catch you!" Kagome urged with pure anger.
"Kagome!" Kaede hissed as she shook her fist at the fallen angel.
"I'm allowed my round as long as I don't force him…he let me in," Kagome hissed with glee.
Kaede's eyes widened in horror as the man walked over the edge. Kagome looked over and watched as he flew through the air. She remembered a feeling like that. A splat made its way to her ears and she winced before she laughed. Kaede flashed another glare before going down to the man. Kagome huffed and followed her as they stood around his broken body.
"Suicides are mine," Kagome warned.
"We'll remember him…he will not be forgotten," Kaede warned.
"You will remember…but I still will have his soul," Kagome promised as she watched the angel fly off.
She cast one final glace at the broken body before she scoffed and walked away. Her wings slightly twitched as she walked past people and glared at them. They were unaware of what was going on around them. They had no clue that she or the others existed. Kagome laughed as she watched an old man trip. She kicked his cane further and continued on her way. She jumped on top of a brick wall and silently sat there. Her eyes watched the cars speed by and she smiled. Today was a good day to kill.
Indigo eyes slowly opened to stare into emerald orbs. Cheers erupted from the office and he was embraced in a hug. His eyes landed on the spirit detectives. A grin made its way to his lips as he inhaled the air for his first time in centuries.
"Welcome back Kuronue," Kurama greeted. Kuronue stretched and yawned.
"I finally did it!" Kuronue happily said as he felt his face.
"You earned your body back," Koenma congratulated as he signed more papers.
"So…I know longer have to stay in Reikai?" Kuronue asked.
"You can stay with me," Kurama offered with a smile.
"I'm alive," Kuronue sighed as he stood up.
"Let's go party!" Yusuke shouted as he ran out of the office. Kuronue watched the boy in jeans and a leather jacket vanish.
Kuwabara got up, brushed his jeans off, and fixed his dress shirt. He had a date and no time to go party. Hiei scoffed but mentally agreed to watch the Kitsune and Kuronue. Koenma waved them off and they left through a portal back to Ningen-kai. Koenma sighed as a figure materialized in his office. The angel ruffled his feathers and stood in front of the desk. His violet eyes studied the young prince with amusement.
"Do all the Fallen where those robes Miroku?" Koenma questioned.
"Most, they like to keep it simple," answered Miroku.
"Why are you here?" Koenma questioned.
"I just wanted to see the newest spirit detective," Miroku innocently answered as he ran his finger along a feather.
"Fine…you better leave this one alone," Koenma warned.
"I already explained that Kagome didn't kill Yusuke on purpose…she merely was trying to push him away from the car," Miroku assured.
"She lured the boy in front of the car, she can't be killing off potential detectives," Koenma growled.
"I am not in control of Kagome, you would have to speak to her," Miroku advised.
Koenma shuddered at the thought before he went back to his paper work. Miroku sighed and left the office. He went back to Earth and watched the humans walk through him. His eyes landed on the lone figure waiting at the construction site. He flew over to the figure and smiled. The figure scowled and grinned when the support beam fell and the building collapsed. Miroku winced and rolled his eyes as he watched the figure clap.
"I don't understand why enjoy watching them die," Miroku sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Miroku, you should try watching one…it's entertaining," he answered with a grin.
"Inuyasha, I don't like death," Miroku growled
"I heard a new detective was added to the team," Inuyasha answered as his red robes swished in the wind.
"Yes, he's another youkai," Miroku, informed.
"Kagome will love toying with him," Inuyasha laughed.
"Koenma has advised us to leave him alone," Miroku calmly said.
"More like pleaded, but he doesn't control us," Inuyasha laughed as he watched the sirens flash.
"You're to prideful," Miroku sighed. Inuyasha scoffed at this and grinned as a human was trapped under cement.
"I have every right to be prideful," Inuyasha began. "The earth is ours and no one controls us."
"One day we won't have the Earth," Miroku warned.
"Wrong! We will always rule over these pathetic pieces of flesh!" Inuyasha growled.
Miroku sighed and shook his head before he flew off.
Crimson eyes glared at the defiant Power before him. He pulled her off the wall by her wrist and slapped her. She glared at him and slapped him back before she backed away. He laughed as he pointed to the street. Kagome's eyes widened as she watched the small boy fall off his bike in the middle of the street. Her wings perked up and she readied herself for flight. She had been watching over the child.
"You are an angel of death…life is no longer your concern!" Naraku growled at her.
"Not a child!" Kagome cried as she rushed toward him.
"Did you care about the children in Hiroshima?" Naraku questioned. "What about the children when you killed when you created Hitler?"
"Mistakes!" Kagome shouted as she landed next to the child.
Kagome watched as his emerald eyes looked up at her in recognition. He was an orphan that lived on the street. His parents had been shot right in front of his eyes. Kagome felt the tears well up because she was the one that drove the shooter to kill his parents. She noticed that the car was coming and she had no chance to pick him up and run. Kagome did the only thing possible. Her body took form and she shielded him with her own flesh, the flesh that she despised. Strong arms lifted her and the child up as the car screeched. She felt them hit the cement and roll to a stop.
Her blue eyes opened and she searched her arms. The child was curled up against her chest and shivering. Kagome pulled him out ofher arms and stared at the man that had saved her and the child. His black hair was messed up and he had scratches on his face. Kagome laid her hand against his chest and felt the broken ribs. His indigo orbs watched her as he wheezed in a breath. She screamed inside her head for feeling guilt about what happened to him. Her eyes glared at him before they returned to the boy. She owed him for saving the child that would have surely died within her arms.
A soft white energy gathered into her palm and she forced his body to heal. When it was finished, she gazed into his eyes and her own blue eyes turned frosty.
"Watch Shippo or else you forfeit your life," Kagome hissed as she took off running into the park.
He slowly sat up and felt his new body for any damage. His eyes told him he was all right but he surely believed that he would have died again.
"Kuronue!" Kurama shouted as he ran to him and the little boy.
"I'm fine," Kuronue assured, as he looked the little boy over.
"What the hell happened?" Yusuke asked as an ambulance sped down the street.
"A girl tried to save the boy, but a car was coming and I grabbed them before it could hit," Kuronue shortened.
"That was no ordinary girl," Yusuke stated with a grin.
The little boy opened his emerald eyes and stared at the strange men with fear. A soothing voice entered his ears and he nodded. He soon fell back to sleep.
"What do you mean?" Kuronue asked as he remembered the strange girl with pure energy.
"That was our own personal demon," Yusuke laughed.
"Demon…but she saved this boy and healed me," Kuronue protested. Yusuke's eyes widened and he heard this.
"Impossible," Yusuke mumbled.
"Kagome is devious, stay away from her if she comes near you," Kurama firmly warned.
The ambulance soon took Kuronue and Shippo away. Kuronue rode in the back as he thought about the strange girl. Kurama had explained that the girl was a fallen one, one of the forsaken. He just couldn't understand why she didn't let him or Shippo die. His eyes glanced at the doctor as he began to talk about the little boy.
