To my fans and people who just want to put me out of my misery, I do not own Inu Yasha and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Thank you,

And please don't sue!

Oh And if you could help me, I don't remember the Japanese word for human, I believe it was naijin or something....PLEASE HELP! Or I could just look at other people's fics....

An Unlikely Fellowship

Chapter 4: Mission

. Kurama nodded as he added, "Yes, she is at the shrine that belongs to the Higurashi family." Yusuke grabbed the Kitsune by his shirt, "Why are you the one that always finds things!" Kurama pushed himself away from the angry teen, "I guess I just happen to be at right place at the right time. She was the daughter to one of my mother's friends." Kuwabara scratched his head, "Mind telling me what this is all about?"

"OOPS! I forgot to tell you Kuwabara!" stated Botan bashfully, "We have a new mission, to find a Miko that has been traveling in and out of the time stream. Koenma-sama was worried that if she continued to do this, that time would be altered." Kuwabara blinked, "I have a friend named Souta. He lives at the Higurashi's shrine!"

Kurama raised an eyebrowl, "If I could remember correctly, Souta is the either 8 or 10 year old brother to the girl we were looking for." Kuwabara nodded his head, "Yup that's abou-HEY! He's my gaming buddy at the arcade! I met him when I caught some thugs trying to mess with him. So, I taught them a lesson and-poof-he's teaching how to play games better!" Yusuke fell on to the floor laughing his brains out, "The 'Great' Kuwabara getting lessons from a kid! HA, HA! You've gotta be kidding me!"

Kuwabara snapped, "Shut up, Urameshi! At least I don't stand up my girl friends!" Yusuke suddenly sprang to his feet, "KEIKO IS NOT MY GIRL FREIND!" "BULL FROG!" Before the two could shed blood, Botan got in between them, "All right! That's enough boys! Now we know that at least one of us can get in their without causing too much trouble. What about you Kurama?"

Kurama tossed his crimson tresses behind his head as he replied, "I think that maybe I could talk to her directly, I gained her trust a little bit before I left. However, there is something else I should mention, there is a hanyou that she hangs around with." Botan covered her mouth in shock, "H-hanyou? Oh, no! That dangerous!"

Yusuke growled, "What the hell is a han-you?" Botan turned to her companion, "A hanyou is a half-youkai and half-human! They can be gentle but some are tremendously strong. It is said that if a Hanyou does not have any type of restraint he will go crazy and kill every thing until they themselves are destroyed."

Kuwabara freaked, "So if that thing, comes through time or whatever, my little buddy, Souta is in danger?" Kurama shock his head, "Yes, but that's only if this hanyou has youkai blood that is too powerful for his human blood. Sometimes it can be-how should I put it? Maxed out." Yusuke crossed his arms, "All right, let's cut this crap and find this Miko!" With that, the males turned to run off when Botan mentioned, "Yusuke? What about Keiko?"

*******

Inu Yasha had enough of waiting for Kagome, she made him sleep in a tree for the past three days and he was getting impatient. 'Kagome, I'm going in after you!' The truth of the matter was that the Hanyou missed young Miko and loneliness was beginning to take the better of him. So from his perch he sprang in to the well as a blue light covered his body.

When he had appeared from the well the smell of different humans filled the area, it was difficult to pick out Kagome but there was something else in the air...a FOX! There was youkai here while he left Kagome unprotected. Suddenly, worry filled the hanyou as he dashed out of the shed. He was quick enough to not have any unwanted attention and lucky for him, Kagome was in the house.

Kagome had been washing the dishes from this afternoon when Inu Yasha burst into the door. "KAGOME!" he shouted as sprang toward her, "I smelled a kitsune! Are you all-" "I'm fine Inu Yasha! You didn't have to come here you know. But I'm glad you came to see me any ways!" Inu Yasha growled, "Hey Kagome! Was there a demon here or not?"

Kagome crossed her arms, "Yes, but he was harmless. I d-" "KAGOME!" yelled the infuriated hanyou, "You shouldn't be so careless! He could have came for the jewel!" Kagome clinched her fist, "What!? The JEWEL!? What about me!?" Inu Yasha growled, "Duh! If the damn jewel is in trouble, so are you!" Kagome smiled, she knew it was his way of saying that he was worried.

"What did the kitsune want any ways?" asked Inu Yasha as he sat on the floor. Kagome's happy expression suddenly turned to sadness, "He was spending time with his human mother." "WHAT? What I smelt was a full blooded demon, not a hanyou! How is that possible?" Kagome crossed her arms, "All he told me was that his body belonged to the Shuichi but his soul belonged to...oh darn! What was the name?"

Inu Yasha whiffed the air and began to growl, "Well you might as well go and ask him now 'cause he's coming this way."

********

As Kuwabara and Kurama entered the Shrine Kurama halted, "That hanyou is here. Be careful and try to act normal." "Right," replied the brave teen before he tripped over an animal lying on the ground. "Merrrrrow...." it moaned. Kuwabara instantly was at it's side wailing, "Boyo! I'm soooo sorry!" The over weight cat looked at the familiar face and purred. Kuwabara petted fat kitty and quickly joined his companion again.

"Kuwabara, maybe you should consider being a vet," chuckled Kurama. Suddenly a young boy's voice rang from the not too distant shrine, "KUWABARA-SAN!" Suddenly, a little boy tackled the overgrown teen, "I caught you off guard again! Do you ever expect to beat Uranmeshi like that!" The child stood disappointed by his senior when he rose from the ground. "Hey, Shrimp! How is every thing!"

Souta looked over to the other man with him, "You know Shuichi?" Kuwabara nodded, "Yup, him and me are pals, too. He like's video games too and I'd thought I'd show him the master!" Souta grinned, "Well, I don't give free lessons. If you really want to learn from the best you have to pay!" Kurama smiled and waved an american dollar in front of the boy, "Will this do?" Souta snatched the dollar, "American money? Ok! you got your self a deal!"

Kuwabara turned to the kitsune, "Why, American money?" Kurama dusted his uniform, "It's worth alot more here than what it says on the paper." The boy suddenly grabbed Kuwabara by the arm, "Come on! There is someone here that I want you to meet! He's so cool!" Botan floated invisibly above the shrine recording the team's every advancement.

Souta barged though the sliding doors dragging poor Kuwabara's arm as if it was a ragdoll but, all the child would say was, "You gotta see this!" Kurama slowly followed behind the old friends, he knew this hanyou would probably put up a fight when he saw him. Inu Yasha was about to open the slide door when suddenly Souta slammed it open, "INU YASHA!" squealed the boy, "This is my friend Kuwabara!"

It was then that Inu Yasha came face to face with the ugliest human he had ever met. "What the hell happened to you?" The Inu growled, "Got hit with the ugly stick one too many time?" Suddendly the teen towered over the silver haired hanyou, "Who you calling ugly, MUTT?" Kagome placed her arms on her waist, "Souta? Who is this guy?"

"This is Kuwabara! You know the guy that saved form the thugs!" Kagome looked at the two men glaring daggers at each other, "Inu Yasha stand down, this is Souta's friend." "NO WAY!, " he hissed, "He called me a MUTT!" Kuwabara snarled, "Oh excuse me, Pound Puppy!" Inu Yasha bounded toward Kurabawa, "What the hell did you call me!" Kagome had enough, "Inu Yasha, 'SIT'!"

'SMASH!' In an instant, Inu Yasha's face was planted into the wooden floor. Kuwabara stared at Kagome, "Whoa! How did you do that!" "It's the charm on his neck Kuwabara. It's spell makes Inu Yasha succumb to the power of gravity with just a single word from it's caster. In this case, it is the word 'Sit' am I correct Kagome?"

Kagome faced the door way which her brother dragged in his 'hero'. The boy with blood red hair form earlier that day stood there with his brilliant eyes gazing at her. "Hello again, Shuichi. I'm sorry about-" "It's all right Kagome. Miko's naturally don't trust Youkai so it wasn't entirely your fault." Inu Yasha rose from the floor and dashed toward the teen at the door.

"It WAS you I smelt wasn't it? What the hell do you plan to do with Kagome!" Kurama eye's suddenly flamed with anger, " I am not going to do any thing to her. I came here to speak with her." "You mean, you weren't here to learn from me?" asked Souta. Kurama smiled at the boy, "Oh you don't have to worry about the dollar, it's yours. Kuwabara, could you take Souta out of here for the moment? I'd like to speak with these two, alone."

Inu Yasha glared at Kurama, he hated this self-righteous, pig headed, demons. They always thought they knew every thing! Well, what ever Kurama was going to pull, he would not fall for it. Kuwabara turned to Souta, "Yeah, we can tell when we're not wanted, can't we Souta?" The boy nodded and the two left.

"Now I can tell you the real reason I came."
