Chapter Ten: Impulsive Power
Kagome groaned as she reached to press her palm against her forehead. She wasn't sure why, but she had a throbbing headache. Forcing her heavy eyelids to open, she slowly sat up and glanced around her room. Why did she feel so… sick? Sighing heavily, she lifted her aching body out of bed and made her way downstairs where she could smell breakfast. Entering the kitchen, she plopped down in a chair at the dining table.
"Honey, are you alright?" Her mother asked, leaving the stove and quickly moving to feel her daughter's forehead.
"I think so… why?"
"Because when I got home from the grocery store I found you unconscious outside the shrine." Her mother explained, worry evident in her brown eyes.
"Really?" Kagome muttered. Is that why she had such a terrible headache? But it didn't make sense… how'd she fall unconscious in the first place?
"I had Souta help me carry you up to your room… you were out for four days." Her mother said as she returned to the stove, apparently satisfied that her daughter seemed fine.
"Sorry for worrying you mom…" she murmured, though her attention was more focused on what happened last night. She couldn't remember. She couldn't seem to recall anything that happened the day before. Groaning, Kagome cleared her head and glanced at the clock. She needed to leave for school soon. Once breakfast was served, she scarfed down a few waffles before hurrying up to her bathroom for a shower. Half an hour later, she was rushing out the door and down the shrine steps.
School was over before she knew it and soon she was making her way back home. Kagome felt the creeping feeling that she was being watched but couldn't pinpoint where the feeling was rooting from. Quickening her pace, she hurried up the steps of the shrine and straight into the house before locking the door behind her. No longer feeling threatened, she made her way to the kitchen to help her mother prepare for dinner.
Silver eyes watched the shrine throughout the night, monitoring the miko's every move. He'd been watching her for quite some time now. It'd been a week since Kuragari's defeat and he'd been keeping a close eye on her ever since a mysterious power teleported her to the shrine. Although Kuragari was a fool and tended to follow his cock more than his brain, he'd been a friend for several years and after learning of his death, he'd set out to find the individual responsible.
There were several rumors floating around Makai, most revolving around the rebirth of the legendary Shikon No Tama, but he'd followed the one that led him to the battlefield that was now the gravesite of his old friend. Once he'd arrived, he was surprised to see not only the body of Kuragari but also several others. He didn't recognize any of the faces, nor did he have time to because seconds after he arrived at the clearing, a pink hue engulfed the body of the only female in the surrounding area. Moments after he noticed the power radiating from her body, a bright light flashed from her and spread across the clearing. When he regained his sight, he was surprised to find that all the bodies except Kuragari's were nowhere in sight.
Unsure of how the unconscious woman possible pulled such a stunt, he was convinced that something else was the cause of their disappearance. After giving his friend a proper burial and taking note of the female human's scent that still lingered where she'd been lying, he set out to find her. No human could possess such powers so that led him to believe there was more at work… something more powerful. With the rumors of the Shikon No Tama spreading like rapid fire through Makai, he suspected that perhaps this odd human female held the jewel in her possession.
If she did have the jewel, it made sense how she and the other bodies disappeared. The jewel was rumored to possess immense powers as well as the ability to grant a wish. If he could find the legendary gem before anyone else… that power would be his. He thought that if he spied on the odd human and her family that perhaps one of them would reveal the location of the jewel but he hadn't learned anything within the past week. Growing impatient, he decided to take things to the next level.
He planned to order several of his faithful humans to retrieve her and bring her in for questioning. He definitely didn't want to take her himself. If he raised even an ounce of his powers, he was positive that Reikai would catch him and send the Spirit Detectives to investigate. He didn't want Reikai suspecting that the woman had the jewel… if they found it before him; he'd never be able to get his hands on it. Turning to leave, the demon with silver eyes disappeared back into Makai to finish his plotting.
Kagome sighed heavily as she entered school grounds. It'd been two weeks since she'd woken up with one of the worst headaches she could ever remember having in her life. Although the headache disappeared that evening, she still felt that something was wrong and decided to not attend school until she felt a bit better. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard the bell ring. Panicking, she rushed to her class and quickly took her seat as all the other students piled into the room. Sighing in relief that she arrived before the teacher, she found her eyes wandering to the front of the class. Her breath caught in her throat when she spotted a particular boy she didn't recognize making his way toward her.
Black spiked hair with a white burst at the front, irritated crimson eyes, deliciously toned body dressed in a black version of the school uniform… the boy was very handsome. She blushed slightly when he took the open seat beside her. Daring to sneak a glance toward him, she turned slightly only to find him glaring at her. Unable to stop herself, a glare of her own formed as she crossed her arms over her chest and averted her gaze. 'What an asshole.' She huffed.
Hiei glared at the girl beside him for a considerable amount of time. Why had he chosen to sit beside her in the first place? He shook those thoughts from his mind. No, this was his seat and he'd never seen her before so it was her that chose to sit beside him. He couldn't remember seeing her around school and since he'd been on a mission with the others for the past two weeks, he wouldn't be surprised if she was new. The hybrid could feel his irritation building within him. Why were humans so aggravating… if he had to deal with this the entire day, he swore he'd end up killing someone… slowly and painfully.
Kagome glared toward the front of the class as she waited for the bell to ring. The boy that she'd first thought was handsome turned out to be a complete jerk. This had been her seat since the beginning of the semester so why did he decide to sit beside her? She'd never seen him before so she was positive that he must be new to the school. Once the bell rang, she leapt from her seat and quickly left class. Huffing in irritation, she stomped her way toward her next class, hoping she wouldn't have to deal with that incompetent jerk in more than one of her classes.
Reaching her next class in record time, she began making her way to her seat until her gaze landed on an unfamiliar red head that was sitting a chair away from hers. She didn't recognize him either… did he transfer with the other boy? Looking him over, she couldn't help the blush that crept to her face when his green eyes suddenly met hers. He smiled warmly and she quickly averted her gaze, taking her seat and focusing her gaze to the front. Her embarrassment quickly turned to irritation when she saw the same boy from her previous class enter through the door.
Hiei glared directly at the human that now seemed to be following him to his classes. Grudgingly taking his seat, that happened to be beside her, he growled softly.
'Hiei, is something wrong?'
'That damned filthy human is following me.' He snarled,
'How is she following you if she arrived to class before you?' he asked, causing the hybrid to glare toward his avatar friend when he sensed his amusement.
'Forgive me Hiei, but it is a little funny.' He thought to himself, knowing the hybrid would hear him.
'Not in the slightest. She is disgusting.'
'She's actually quite attractive for a human.' Kurama observed, glancing around the apparition to get another look at the dark haired woman.
Hiei scoffed. 'Don't make me gag.'
Kurama rolled his eyes. 'Well if you are not interested then perhaps I will approach her.'
'Like I care.' He growled. He wanted nothing to do with that annoying human and if that meant Kurama would take a try for her, then so be it.
Classes dragged on that day and Kagome nearly jumped for joy when it was finally time for lunch. Quickly grabbing her lunch, she made her way to her table that she always sat at by herself and began unpacking her food. She nearly leapt out of her skin when a tray suddenly slammed down on her table. Her eyes flinging up to see who had the nerve to scare her, she felt rage fill her when she saw the jerk from her first few classes glaring down at her.
"This is our table onna, leave." He demanded.
Kagome leapt to her feet and returned his glare full force. "Excuse me?! Who the hell do you think you ar-"
"Kagome?"
The woman was interrupted by a voice familiar to her. Glancing behind the annoying boy, her eyes widened in recognition when she saw her cousin standing with the red head from her second class and another tall boy with orange hair. "Yusuke?"
"What are you doing here? Did you just transfer here?" he asked, surprised to see her in his school. He hadn't seen her for several years.
"What are you talking about? I've been attending this school since the beginning of the year." She said, growing confused.
"That can't be, I've been here since the beginning of the school year. I would have seen you before now."
She shook her head. "You must be mistaken, this is my school."
Yusuke was about to retort but was cut short when he felt his communicator vibrate in his pocket. Groaning, he smiled apologetically to his cousin. "Sorry Kags, but we'll have to continue this later." He said before quickly leaving. The others followed close behind him as he led the way out of the school and around to the back of the building where a portal to Reikai was waiting for them. Once they entered Koenma's office, the demi god began rambling.
"We've heard more rumors that the legendary Shikon No Tama has been reborn. Now there is no doubt these whispers are true and we need to find it immediately! If the jewel falls into the wrongs hands, it could mean the end of the world as we know it! How are we going to find it though… we haven't the slightest clue of where it could be…" he mumbled to himself as if the detectives weren't even there.
"How can we be sure the jewel has been reborn?" Kurama questioned, gaining the toddler's attention.
"I'm not sure but I'd rather we be safe than sorry. There are many rumors spreading across Makai, so many that demons are beginning to join together in their search. We need to find the jewel before anyone else does."
"What the hell is the Shikon No Tama anyway?" Yusuke piped up.
"It's a powerful object that can increase a demon's power by tenfold. It can also grant a wish… and if the wrong person makes that wish, we're doomed." Koenma explained.
"What do you mean it has been reborn?" Kuwabara asked.
"The Shikon No Tama was the cause of mass destruction and death through the feudal times of japan. The jewel disappeared when a mysterious miko and her allies defeated a powerful hanyou that was attempting to take over the world." Kurama explained.
"So it just reappeared?" Kuwabara questioned.
"Apparently so. I need you to locate the jewel and bring it to me immediately." Koenma ordered.
"How are we supposed to find this thing?" Yusuke asked.
"The Shikon always has a guardian that possessed spiritual powers. If it's been reborn, then it should be in the protection of the current guardian. We would have heard rumors if the jewel was taken from the guardian so you must find the protector."
"So their power will be like ours?" Kuwabara asked.
"No, the previous guardians of the jewel were mikos so this guardian should possess a small amount of miko powers. There aren't any mikos left in this time so the modern mikos will not be very powerful." Kurama stated.
"Ok so this guardian should be pretty easy to find right? If mikos are rare then we just have to search out the mikos and find out which one is the guardian." Yusuke grinned.
Koenma rolled his eyes. "I don't care how you do it, just get it done. We can't allow anyone else to get their hands on the jewel…"
Kagome sighed as she made her way home from school. After her cousin and his friends disappeared during lunch, she tried searching for them but couldn't find them anywhere. After finishing the last of her classes, Kagome figured they probably ditched school, she remembered that Yusuke was never very fond of classes and often ditched. Figuring she would see him tomorrow, she departed for home.
The miko was still extremely bothered that she couldn't remember what happened the day she fell unconscious. Did someone attack her? Did she merely fall and hit her head? She wasn't sure but what bothered her more was the fact that she couldn't remember what happened at all that entire day… or the day before that. She felt as if someone had stolen a chunk of her memories. The miko's attention snapped back to reality when she suddenly felt someone grab her wrist and yank her backwards. Yelping in surprise, her wide eyes focused on a tall boy before he threw her roughly into the brick wall of the alleyway he'd pulled her into. Hearing laughter, her startled eyes darted from side to side to see three other boys gathered around her.
"Finally found you." The tall boy smirked, his grip on her wrist tight.
"You're hurting me, let go!" Kagome yelled, fear flooding through her veins. What did these boys want with her?
"Come on, let's just take her to him and get it over with. I got shit to do today." One of the boys behind him complained.
"Shut up, I want to have a little fun with her first…" the tall boy's smirk widened as he moved his other hand to wrap around her neck.
Fear completely engulfed her as she stared up at the boy in terror.
"There's nothing you can do you weak little bitch." The boy chuckled as he wrapped his fingers around her throat.
Fear was quickly replaced with rage and before Kagome knew what she was doing, she twisted her arm to break the boy's hold on her wrist as she swiftly reached up to grab the wrist of the hand that was slowly choking her. With strength she didn't know she had, she tore the boy's hand away from her neck and twisted it until she heard a 'crack'. The boy cried out in pain as he took a step away from her. The boys behind him immediately leapt forward to subdue her and she retaliated.
Pounding her fist into the face of one of the boys, she kicked another straight into the brick wall before grabbing the last by the neck of his shirt and lifting him into the air. She threw him into the wall alongside one of the other boys. Glancing around the alleyway, the miko blinked several times before her eyes widened. Did she just throw those boys around like rag dolls?! Since when could she fight like that?! Her fear settling in once more, Kagome quickly ran from the boys groaning in pain. She sprinted all the way home and only slowed when she entered the safety of her home.
"You are useless!"
"You didn't tell us the damn chick could fight!" one of the boys argued as he pointed to his broken nose.
"Yea, we weren't prepared for her to fight back!" the tall boy yelled, cradling his broken wrist close to his midsection.
The demon growled and shook his head at the idiocy of the human race. "Leave, I will send someone that will actually get the job done!"
The four boys glared at the demon slightly but left just as they were ordered to. Once the humans were out of sight, Monoki shook his head in irritation. He hadn't known the human girl would fight back either. After watching her for so long, he never would have suspected that the petite human could even throw a punch. Now that he knew she could easily take on four boys larger than her, he knew better than to send a human to bring her to him. No… now he would send a demon… he would just have to make it clear that he wanted the girl alive and in one piece.
"How the hell are we supposed to find the damn guardian of this stupid jewel?!" Yusuke growled in frustration. They'd visited several different shrines that were rumored to possess a decent amount of spiritual power but were disappointed over and over again when they only found monks that barely had any powers at all.
"We'll just have to keep searching." Kurama stated calmly.
Yusuke rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Yea whatever." He grumbled as he glared ahead of them.
"Hey Urameshi, about that girl earlier…" Kuwabara trailed off, knowing his friend knew who he was talking about.
"What about her." The detective snapped, obviously still irritated with their current mission.
"Who is she?"
"My cousin. Haven't seen her for a while and definitely haven't seen her at our school before." He explained.
"But she said she'd been attending the school all year." Kurama piped up, joining the conversation.
"She doesn't know what she's talking about…" he muttered, a hit of sadness leaking into his voice.
"But she seemed sur-"
"Look, last time I went to visit her, her grandfather told me I couldn't see her because she was sick. I called a few weeks later to check on her and he told me her condition had worsened and she couldn't have any visitors. I checked on her from time to time and she was always sick with something…" Yusuke interrupted the Kuwabara, his voice trailing off at the end of his explanation.
"She seemed quite healthy today…" Kurama pointed out.
"Yea well my guess is with all the sickness and medication, it's messed with her head a bit… she probably doesn't even remember being transferred to our school." Yusuke murmured, sadness completely dominating his irritation from earlier.
"So she's crazy?" Kuwabara asked bluntly.
Yusuke spun on his heel so fast, Kuwabara nearly walked right into the detective. "Call her crazy again and I'll beat the shit out of you… she's still my cousin, no matter her mental state."
Kagome sobbed as she leaned over the toilet seat to empty the contents of her stomach. It'd been a week and a half since she was attacked by those boys and for reasons unknown to her, she felt extremely sick the prior morning as well as this one. She felt perfectly fine throughout the day and the night before but the next morning, she woke up with the overwhelming need to empty her stomach. Grabbing a decent amount of toilet paper from the roll, she wiped her mouth before standing and relocating to the sink.
After brushing her teeth and cleaning herself up a bit, she made her way back to her bedroom hoping she wouldn't need to vomit again. Sitting on her bed, she spotted a glass of water on her night stand and reached for it. Taking a few sips of water, Kagome took a deep breath and decided to attempt at eating something. Once she reached the kitchen though, she felt perfectly fine… as if she hadn't puked just moments ago.
Confused but realizing she needed to finish getting ready quickly or she'd be late for school, the miko shoved a slice of toast in her mouth before sprinting back up the stairs to change into her uniform. Hurrying out the door, she rushed down the stairs of the shrine and took a detour in order to get to school faster. Following the sidewalk, she forced her legs to move quickly so she wouldn't be late.
Over the past week, Kagome spent a decent amount of time with her cousin and his friends. Yusuke had explained to her that they were confused with the conversation before and that they had transferred to her school recently. With that piece of information, Kagome was still curious as to why Yusuke's friend, Hiei, always seemed to be seated near her. It bothered her to no end seeing as he was always either glaring at her or insulting her.
The only time she didn't mind his presence was in the class she shared with her cousin's friend Kurama as well. The handsome boy would always defend her and make her smile to cheer her up. He even agreed to sit in Hiei's seat in the class they all shared so she wasn't forced to sit beside him. She wasn't sure why, but the situation seemed familiar to her somehow…
Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when she felt something… odd. Confused by the feeling that so completely consumed her that it caused her feet to stop moving, she glanced around nervously. She felt as if she were in danger. Her heart raced as her muscles twitched, prepared to flee if she needed to. It was then that she realized that there was no one around her… the street she was traveling down was completely bare.
Laughter echoed through the buildings and Kagome jumped. Her body leaping into action, she began running as fast as her legs could carry her. A startled scream escaped her lips when she suddenly found herself thrown over someone's shoulder and being carried off into the opposite direction of her school. Panicking, Kagome kicked and pounded her fists against her caper's back as hard as she could… anything to get her out of her current situation. Nothing fazed her kidnapper.
Fear completely engulfed her and she squeezed her eyes shut tightly, praying that she would somehow be saved. She suddenly fell to the ground and grunted in pain slightly from the impact. Confused, she quickly pushed herself to her feet and looked around. Her kidnapper was nowhere to be seen. Something floating in the breeze caught her attention and the miko glanced down. There, a few feet away from her, was a large pile of fresh ash.
Her eyes widened as she backed away from the ash that was slowly disappearing with the breeze. Somehow, she wasn't sure how, she knew that she'd done that… she'd turned her kidnapper into dust… but how?! Confused and terrified, the miko turned tail and ran toward home. With everything that was happening today, school completely slipped her mind.
Yusuke sat at the lunch table scanning the crowd of students that entered the cafeteria. He hadn't seen his cousin all day and he was beginning to worry about her.
"She wasn't in class right?" he asked, not bothering to turn his attention to Kurama since he knew the avatar could hear him.
"No, and she wasn't in any of her other classes either." He stated.
"She never misses school… not even when we were little; she refused to skip school even if she was puking out her liver." Yusuke murmured.
"But she missed all that school while she was really sick… maybe she's getting sick again." Kuwabara pointed out.
Worry flooded into Yusuke's aura as he stood from the lunch table. "She seemed perfectly fine… it's something else… something happened."
Before the detective could disappear in search of his missing cousin, their communicators began to vibrate. Cursing under his breath, Yusuke nodded toward the front doors of the school. Once they were out of sight, a portal materialized before them and they quickly entered. Once inside, all hell broke loose.
"This better be DAMN good Koenma because I have a missing cousin that I need to find!" Yusuke snapped.
"Calm down Yusuke, she's fine." Koenma announced, not bothering to look up at his team. He seemed to be busy reading something on his desk.
"How the hell would you know?!"
"Just this morning, she was attacked by a demon. I'm not sure how the demon was able to get past the radars but it's energy spiked when it attempted to kidnap your cousin." He explained.
"What the hell do you mean by it 'attempted' to kidnap her?!" he shouted, his worry and anger building. From the sounds of things, she didn't seem fine at all.
"I said it attempted to kidnap her because she destroyed it before it could take her very far."
"Destroyed it?" Kurama asked since Yusuke seemed to be too shocked to ask the question they were all wondering the answer to.
"I was keeping an eye on where it was going while I was about to contact you when the demon suddenly turned to ash." Koenma explained, his face completely serious.
"Ash? How? Only mikos could do…" Kurama's statement trailed off as his mind quickly wrapped around the answer to their confusion. "She's a miko."
"Indeed, and a powerful one at that if she possesses enough power to completely purify a demon." Koenma stated.
"And now you think my cousin is the guardian of this jewel you're looking for don't you." Yusuke piped up, apparently out of his shocked state of mind.
"That's where things get a little confusing actually. Most mikos are aware of their powers and abilities but I watched Kagome's reaction after she realized she destroyed the demon and she seemed horrified and confused. She has no idea how or what she did to that demon. I'd even bet that she doesn't even know what a demon is." Koenma explained, pressing a button on his desk so he could replay the incident between the demon and Yusuke's cousin. Just as he said, the miko looked terrified before she ran from the scene.
"Where is she now." Yusuke asked.
"She went home. She hasn't left the house since."
"I'm not bringing her to you Koenma, she has nothing to do with any of this." Yusuke stated sternly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he focused his gaze on the toddler sized ruler.
"I understand that Yusuke. Even if she is the guardian of the jewel, I have a feeling she doesn't even know of her status or the jewel's whereabouts. I merely want all of you to keep an eye on her. If she is the current guardian, other demons will be after her. You just need to keep her safe." Koenma ordered.
Yusuke nodded, thankful that his boss wasn't going to force him to scare his cousin even more than she already was. When a portal appeared behind them, they exited Reikai and found themselves behind the school once more.
"I'm going to check on her… You can decide amongst yourselves who will watch over her through the night." Yusuke announced before departing.
They watched the detective leave before Kuwabara sighed. "He's not in a good mood…"
"Would you be if it was your cousin in this situation? You know, as well as we do, that Yusuke doesn't like involving innocent humans into the chaos of our life styles. Kagome wasn't given a choice in the matter." Kurama explained.
"Hn, humans are weak." Hiei snorted as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Would you think the same way if it was Yukina in Kagome's shoes?" Kurama questioned, staring at the hybrid seriously.
Hiei glared at his comrade. "Hn."
"Thought so. I'll watch over her tonight and escort her to school tomorrow morning." Kurama stated before also walking away.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone has a crush on Urameshi's cousin." Kuwabara chuckled.
A slight smirk spread across Kurama's lips. "That gives me all the more reason to protect her then doesn't it?"
Kuwabara rolled his eyes as the avatar disappeared from sight. "Hope Urameshi doesn't get mad when he finds out…" he muttered as he turned to Hiei. There was an overwhelming aura of anger radiating from the hybrid that caused Kuwabara to take a step back. "You ok shorty?
Hiei snapped his attention to Kuwabara only to grow confused. For reasons he was unaware of, the mere thought of Kurama being near Yusuke's cousin angered him. Shaking his head clear, he didn't bother to acknowledge the idiot human beside him before disappeared off toward Genkai's temple.
Yusuke took a deep breath as he stood at the front door to his aunt's house. Just as he was about to knock, it suddenly opened and the detective was slightly startled when his petite cousin threw herself at him. She was sobbing heavily and figured the reason for the water works was because of the earlier incident. He led her back into the house and straight to the living room. There wasn't a sound in the house other than his hysterical cousin so Yusuke figured no one else was home at the moment.
"Yusuke I don't know what's going on." She sobbed, hiccupping as she tried to catch her breath.
"What are you talking about Kags?" he asked. He wanted her to explain things from her point of view even though he already knew why she was crying.
"I don't know! I'm being attacked by… by things!" she hollered.
"What kind of things?" he questioned calmly, realizing that his tranquil demeanor was helping her compose herself.
"These four boys attacked me a little over a week ago and-"
"Why didn't you tell me this before?! I'll beat their damn asses!" Yusuke snapped, interrupting her explanation as his anger began to build. He hadn't known she was attacked by a group of humans.
"I'm fine, I don't know how but I beat them up and was able to escape… but anyway this morning some… thing was trying to kidnap me and next thing I know, I'm on the ground and it's a pile of ash!" she yelled, her arms waving frantically in the air.
Yusuke took a deep breath to calm himself before gently grabbing Kagome's forearms. "Chill Kags, you know it's not possible for someone to just turn into-"
"It happened! And I've been having these weird feelings all the time. And I'm getting sick in the morning and I don't know why. And sometimes I feel like I'm in danger and that I should run, or sometimes I feel extra calm." She began rambling before Yusuke's gaze whipped to her.
"You're getting sick in the morning?" he questioned.
"Just puking… it's weird because I feel perfectly fine throughout the rest of the day but for the past two days, I've been waking up with the need to vomit. Why? Do you know what's wrong with me?"
Yusuke shrugged. "You don't have a boyfriend right? Cause all I can think of that being is morning sickness."
Kagome's eyes widened as she shook her head vigorously. "Goodness no! I'm still a virgin!" she screeched, causing her cousin to back away from her a bit.
"Ok, ok calm down Kag's."
"Unless…" she murmured, her gaze focused on the ground.
"Unless what?"
"Two weeks ago… mama said she found me unconscious outside. I can't remember anything of the day before mama found me. Actually… now that I think about it, the past few years of my life seem to be just a blur." She murmured.
"Were you attacked?" he asked, hoping she hadn't been seriously injured and lost her memories.
"I can't remember…" she groaned. "I just don't know."
Yusuke wrapped his arms around her in a comforting manner. "It's alright Kags, I'm here now. No one's gunna hurt you." He murmured reassuringly.
A single tear trailed down her cheek as she buried her face into the fabric of her cousin's shirt. "Thank you Suke…"
