(This story starts a while before Kagome and Naraku leave the 'trap'... in fact, it starts the night before SesshouMaru take's Souta to Kurama's apartment ((.)
Prolog
Kurama sighed as he looked at the fire apparition opposite of him. Hiei had decided to stay with him, even after they robbed Spirit World. After Koenma had told them of their punishment, Hiei had refused to go back to Makia, saying something about keeping an eye on something. Kurama really hadn't been paying too much attention on what he was saying, since other things had been troubling him lately.
Genkia had started her tournament to find her next successor, and Yuske had been forced into joining it. But the thought of the Spirit Detective failing, and Rando attacking the people of Tokyo didn't bother Kurama, because he know that either Hiei or himself could take care of that. What concerned him was the date.
It's been four-hundred years, and three hundred sixty-three days since Kagome's disappearance, which meant that there was a chance he could still find her in this time, if he hurried. He still wasn't sure how long she had been away from her time before he first met her, but he knew that Shippo had spoken of her living about five-hundred years in the future once.
{She certainly did a great job of hiding herself in this time.} Yoko thought.
Suichi sighed, [Don't you ever think about anyone else? For all you know, she could already be in the past, and getting sucked into the portal as we speak.]
{DON'T EVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!} the fox yelled at his alter-ego.
Suichi sighed and rolled his eyes, [Whatever.]
Before either of them could say, or think, anything else, a tremor of energy shot through the room. The two demons, Hiei and Kurama, jumped up. Yoko's eyes widened as realized who it was, {Naraku!} he quickly left towards the tremor's origins.
Hiei shrugged, 'It's not like I have anything better to do,' and followed him
They arrived at a shrine, close to the Goshinbuku. Yoko slapped himself, after taking control of Suichi's body, "Of coarse, why didn't I think about checking near this tree before!?"
Hiei raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about."
Before Kurama could answer, they heard foot-steps. It seemed to belong to a kid. "I don't sense Naraku anywhere, this is a waist of my time!" Yoko growled as he left the shrine, and giving Suichi control of his body as he did so.
Hiei looked back at the kid who was now standing in front of the God Tree, 'Why did the fox seem so eager to get away from the kid?' Not wanting to deal with annoying humans, Hiei left. When he got back to Kurama's apartment, he saw the fox pacing, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Kurama replied, still pacing.
Hiei was about to ask him what was really wrong when Kurama's mother, Shori, walked in. "Kurama, I'm sorry I was late getting home, but I had to go back to the hospital after work and-"
"What's wrong?!" Kurama cut her off, voice full of worry.
She smiled at him, "Nothings wrong, it's just that they found something that they wanted me to look at. It's kind of funny really, apparently, I was adopted at a young age, and my adopted parents never had the chance to tell me."
Kurama released a sigh of relief, "As long as you're healthy, mother."
"I just came home to tell you that I'm going to the library for a little while, to try and find out who my real parents were." She said her good-byes, and left.
Shortly after, Kurama decided to go to bed. He looked at Hiei, "If you need a place to sleep, the couch pulls out into a bed."
"Hn." Hiei sat on the couch, "Demons don't need much sleep." Kurama rolled his eyes at the shorter demon's response, and went to bed.
Hiei stared out the window, watching as two figures made their way towards Suichi's apartment building. The Koorime raised an eyebrow, 'What's he doing here?' Deciding that he didn't want to be the one that had to answer the door, Hiei went into Suichi's room, carefully, and quietly, took the teen's pillow out from under his head, and hit him with it none-too- gently.
Kurama's eyes shot open when he felt the pillow hit him. Sitting up in bed, he glared at Hiei, "What was that for?"
"Company's on it's way."
Kurama sighed and got out of bed, "Would you mind leaving so I could get changed?" Kurama watched as Hiei walked out of the room, probebly going to find some tree to brood in or something. The fox stood up and stretched a bit before putting on his usual pink school-uniform. He walked out of his room, and was surprised to see Hiei sitting at the window, watching as two people got closer and closer. Kurama made his way to the window, and followed the Koorime's gaze. His eyes widened slightly as he murmured a name under his breath, "SesshouMaru."
Hiei rose an eyebrow, "The Lord of the Western Keep of Makai?"
"Yes that one but, I don't see why he would be here..." As Kurama trailed off, the doorbell rang. Kurama stopped what he was saying, and answered the door, "Yes?"
SesshouMaru, who, Kurama noticed, was dressed in the garb of a police officer, motioned to the boy that was standing in front of him, "The kid has nowhere to go."
{He still has that emotionless voice...} Kurama pushed back Yoko's voice as he knelt down in front of the childe, "Hello. What might your name be?"
The boy's eyes widened before he turned his gaze to the floor, leaving SesshouMaru to answer for him, "His name's Souta. He's Kagome's brother."
Kurama ignored Yoko's yelling about having to interrogate the boy, and showed the child in after momentarily locking gazes with SesshouMaru, who almost seemed grateful that Kurama had taken the kid in. As Kurama closed the door, the kid looked around, then backed up against said closed door, "You're the guys that were at the shrine before I saw Naraku!"
Kurama, in an attempt to calm the boy down, smiled kindly at him, "I'm Kurama, and this is my friend, Hiei. I know how this looks, but I must reassure you that neither of us work for Naraku in any way." Kurama waited for a response, and was disappointed to see that the child still didn't trust him. Sighing, Kurama said, "I'm sorry, but it will be easier this way." Using his spirit energy, Kurama bloomed the nekashitsukeru seed he had gotten out of his hair (don't even ask what it was doing there in the first place...), and watched as it sprayed a greenish mist into Souta's face, causing him to pass out. Kurama sighed as he picked the Souta up, and took him into his bedroom, "This is going to be hard to explain to my mother."
In Reikai, SesshouMaru growled as he was confronted by the, now couriering, ruler of Reikai. Well, maybe it wasn't the actual ruler of Reikai... it was more like the ruler's son. "Koenma," SesshouMaru said, "I am well aware of what you're telling me."
"Well," Koenma did his best to look brave, "that doesn't change the facts. You still interfered with the living and-"
SesshouMaru growled again, "This SesshouMaru did no such thing."
"Fine, the people that work for you, still interfered with the living and went through the barrier, both of which are very serious crimes."
"You think I don't know the laws?" SesshouMaru raised his eyebrow at the child-ruler.
Koenma shook his head, "No, but... if you know the rules, you know that I can't do what you're asking."
"And why not?"
"Because... if my father finds out that I let three-"
SesshouMaru interrupted him, "I assure you, Koenma, that any damage I inflict would be many times worse than what your father can do. After all," SesshouMaru smirked, "your father only attacks Ningenkai."
Koenma gulped, "B-but-"
"But nothing, Koenma."
"Fine, fine!" Koenma sighed, "...and uhm, don't tell my father about this..."
Miroku, Sango, and Kohaku left the prison in Reikai, and slowly made their way to the portal that lead them to Makai. Miroku looked over at Kohaku, "So, what do you think SesshouMaru's going to do when we get back?"
Kohaku shrugged, "I really don't know, nor do I want to think about it." The three of them walked through the portal in silence, each left to their own thoughts.
(Sorry for the wait, but... well, I wasn't sure how I was going to go about with this story... the first one's major thing was 'get the jewel and defeat Naraku', while the second one was 'get out of the trap', and this one... I really don't know yet, but when I figure it out, this story might actually have a point to it. .And, I'd also like to apologize for any spacing problems. For some reason, the new 'quick edit' thing they have fucks it up and takes out the squiggly line star thing... dose that happen to anyone else? Anywho, in an attempt to avoid it taking out my little spacers, I'm not going to look over the story with the 'preview' thing like I usually do, so if there are spacing problems, or misspellings, ect. I'm sorry. bah-bye)
