Chapter 2

"You!" Kagome yelled pointing at Kurama. "You're the boy from yesterday. The one with the group of thugs that beat up on old man! That messed up my dress!"

"Now I can tell you that Suichii never beat up people." Shiori said in her son's defense.

Kurama had to think of a reason for beating up a man besides saying it was a demon. "He touched a high school girl the wrong way, which was way we were chasseing him." He answered with a sweat drop behind he's head.

"Right…." Kagome said walking pass them to her front yard. She looked up at the god tree and placed a hand on it. 'I can't believe it but I miss you Inuyasha. And Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara. I wonder if they are all getting along with Kikiyo. I wonder if Inuyasha's happy…' She tried not to cry again. She would have to get over the idea of herself and him ever being together in a romantic way. She was going to make herself face him tomorrow. To see all her friends.

"What's wrong kagome?" Suichii asked coming up form behind her. "Did I ask you to follow me? I think not, to think I could have been with Inuya- never mind." 'It all most slipped out.' "Well I am quite sorry to here that, though I could have been somewhere else as well. You see I have a job. My boss is a little upset with me. I am supposed to be on call 24/7. It is nice to have a break even so." Suichii sat on floor and laid back with his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.

Kagome sat next to him with her knees up to her chest. "You know why their doing this right?" Kagome asked. She didn't get an answer; he just opened his eyes and looked at her. "It's a tradition in my family, I guess because we still live on a shrine. My grandmother had an arranged marriage, my mother, my brother will and so will I. She's looking for someone for me."

"I know I…over heard my mother talking one day." (Koenma told him)

"Oh…well I just lost a guy I liked so I don't know if I want to get with someone yet." Kagome said falling back. She knew talking about Inuyasha would just make her look at the well house. "Really…that mite have been for the best though. Did you really go out, or he just saw you as a little sister?" Kurama asked. 'So he's finally out of the picture then. I've waited but now I can't ever get close to her, or as close as I want.'

"I don't think we were ever going out. But I know he didn't see me as a little sister. I looked like someone he loved." Kagome turned her head to smile at him when she saw a belt-like choker. (Think yu-gi-oh people /she couldn't see it before because of his clothes.) "What is that?" Kagome said looking at it.

"This? Someone I loved gave it to me. When I was little, so little minded that I didn't think about these feeling I had. Then when I found out what the feeling was I couldn't give her what I had gotten her in return. She was gone…or moved." 'I have to stop this thing is killing me slowly.' "I guess we're two love sick teens then." Kagome said and smiled. "I guess your right, though I won't mind getting married to you." Kurama said smiling back. "I don't think so I'm still mad about the dress."

"But I told you the over man did that. And the stains came out right?"

"Yes but what if they didn't."

"But they did, we can't live in a 'what if' world" he said as he got up form the ground. He looked at the well house. 'There's something weird about that well house.'

"Yea but-oh never mind. Help me up will you." Kagome said reaching her hands out for him to grab. "What happened to you can help your self?" He asked but helped her up non the less. "It went in the washing machine with the dress, and was flushed out." She answered patting the dirt off her butt.

As they walked around the shrine yard, kagome asked where he lived and what his job was. "Well I have two homes really one with my mother and one by myself, I told her it was to have a little space and it was a little closer to my school."

"Cool. I mite change my school, my mom was talking about one called Kinonomoto academy" "That's the one I go to; I wonder how long they had been planning this…" Kurama thought as they walked down the stairs of the shrine. "Your right." Kagome announced when she saw that he was looking at his phone. "Sorry I have to take this call." He walked a little over then picked it up. "Hello?"

"KURAMA I'M SOOOOO SORRY HE WAS GOING TO KILL ME IF I COULDN'T GET THREW TO YOUR MOBLIE!" Botan cried

"It's alright Botan. Just let me talk to him."

"Alright but he's pretty mad at you, I warn you……….(Koenma) KURAMA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I HAD TO SEND THE REST OF THEM OUT WITHOUT YOU! " he yelled into the phone.

"Just calm down Koenma, remember I told you I had something to do with my mother today."

Kagome looked at a bus sign to see when the buses ran when she heard him coming back saying something about a jackass or something like a demon. "So where do you want to go?" He asked happily, as if he was never mad. "I don't know you pick!" Kagome answered.

With Koenma

"He gets so scary when he's mad." Botan said from behind a desk after they hung up with him. "I've only seen him like that once." Koenma said to himself.

"I need you to help a boy named Yuske Uremeshi." Koenma said to Kurama.

"Fine but in return," He grabbed Koenma by the collar. "You can find anyone right? Find a girl named kagome!"

"Who is this Kagome Higurashi that I found."

Monday

"Okay mom, I'm going to the past."

"Okay, but what about Suichii?"

"What about him?" Kagome asked grabbing a bagging and thinking what kind of fruit she should bring. "What do you think about him?" kun-loon took the bag and put blue and red berries into it. "He's nice and cute, And he said he goes to the school that you want to put me in. Thanks." She took the bag that her mother handed her and went out the front door.

'Alright, I feel great today.' Kagome said to herself as she opened the old dusty well house door. It was time to go back, see what help she could give. It was 12:30, 'they must be eating lunch by now.' She was almost half way to the well when she heard suichii's voice. She put down her big yellow bag and looked out the door. She saw him at the front door of her home. Her mother was saying sorry, "She just left. I'll tell her you came by."

"Thank you." Kurama said and was walking back to the stairs. Kagome grabbed her bag and jump into the well. When Kurama walked up to the well he felt a huge pure energy. "I missed you so, so much…"

Past

Shippo was eating a fried fish. He was just threw crying when Inuyasha had said that kagome mite never come back. Kikiyo had rejected Inuyasha but he still felt the same. Sango was mad at Inuyasha for not going after kagome, and Miroku was knocked out from touching her bottom. Inuyasha picked up a fried fish for himself when he smelled kagome. He turned to were the well was though he couldn't see it.

Kagome clamed out of the well and brushed off her dark blue jeans. Picked up her bag and started off. "Hello again. Been awhile, I thought you might never come back." She looked up to see a man, no a demon. He had long silver hair, and ears like Inuyasha and amber eyes. He was sitting in a cherry blossom tree.

"Hello Youko, what do you want?" She asked still walking away from the well and him. He jump out of the tree and followed her. "Nothing but if we have, what do you call it? Eggs? Whatever, that yellow stuffs. But it has to be made by you. I can tell if it is." He said. She took the bag off her back and picked out plastic bag. "Here I had a feeling I mite see you. So I made you a huge plate of eggs, toast, and ham. Enjoy. Oh do you know were Inuyasha and the rest of them are?" "Yea, see the smoke… just follow it." Before she can thank him he saw gone.
