oOo Last Time oOo
That's how the whole first day of school was go to your class, get to know people, leave for the next class when bell rang (and 'cause I don't feel like writing it).
Chapter 3
-Shuichi- --Youko-- Xx Hiei xX
oOo Sunday (School started Monday) oOo
Kagome as usual was the first to wake up so she did her morning necessities and went down stairs to make breakfast. A little later a confused Shippo came down the stairs followed by Kilala.
"Mom, who's this? He was on your bed."
"Oh that's Raja. Raja that's Shippo and Kilala and the two coming down the stairs are Sango and Miroku. Sango Miroku that's Raja. Now lets eat.
oOo Later With Kagome, Raja, And Kilala oOo
"Well I'm bored, you guys want to visit Genkai? I was planning on asking her if she wanted any herbs anyway."
Both neko's meowed in agreement so she phoned Genkai and offered to bring lunch as well when she found out her cousin and his friends would be there.
oOo With Genkai oOo
"That was Kagome, Yusuke's cousin."
"How do you know her Genkai?"
"She came to my shrine a lot when she was younger and has just offered to supply me with herbs that only she grows. She'll be coming a little later with two cats."
"KITTYS!"
They all ignored him and sat down to drink the tea Yukina brought them. Soon after Yusuke came in.
"so grandma, why'd you want us here?"
"Because dimwit, there's another tournament coming up so you might as well start training. We will start after lunch because your cousin is stopping by."
"What? Why?"
"She is bringing herbs that she has informed me she grows that I would like and said that she would bring lunch when I told her you all would be here."
They all sat there waiting, Yusuke and Kuwabara occasionally fighting, Shuichi, Youko, and Hiei telepathically speaking, and Genkai and Yukina drinking tea. They were like that when Kagome arrived with Kilala and Raja. She just watched as Kuwabara and Yusuke called each other names trying to keep her laughter in while Kilala and Raja watched with equal amusement. Kagome lost her fight with her laughter when Kuwabara lunged at Yusuke, completely missing, and hitting head first into a wall. Everyone finally noticed her and she quickly stopped laughing but was still giggling.
--Even her laughter is beautiful—
Shuichi couldn't help but agree so he just smiled and said hello to Kagome making her blush. Kagome smiled back and walked to Genkai. She pulled out a large bundle of herbs and gave them to Genkai who quickly fingered through them and nodded satisfied.
--Some of those herbs went extinct hundreds of years ago, how does she have them!—
"Kagome, I thought some of those herbs were extinct?"
"You know your herbs, and yes, they were thought to be extinct but I found some in the forest surrounding my shrine recently and transferred them to my garden where they now grow beautifully."
--She even likes herbs! She may be a human but maybe we should make her more then a toy, I'm liking her more and more.—
-What do you mean Youko?-
Xx Hn, he wants to make her his mate. xX
Shuichi chocked on his tea and Kagome looked at him concerned.
"Are you ok Shuichi?"
"Ya, I'm fine, just remembered something."
He gave her a reassuring smile and she smiled back. Kagome handed out all the food she brought and everyone ate and commented on how good it was, except Hiei who didn't do anything. Once they were done eating Kagome turned to Hiei.
"So what's your name?"
"That's Hiei, he doesn't talk much."
Kagome smiled and thanked Shuichi and turned back to Hiei.
"So Hiei, any family?"
He didn't answer but glared harder at her and Kagome grinned.
""What's your favorite colour? What's your last name?..."
Everyone watched with amusement as Kagome asked question after question.
"Black."
"Eh?"
"Hn, my favorite colour is black, will you shut up now?"
"Yup!" Kagome chirped then turned to everyone else. "Well I guess I should get goin', ne?"
"We'll show you out, we'll be going out anyway." (Genkai)
Kagome gathered her stuff and her cats jumped on her shoulders to get away from Kuwabara and growled at him who was still trying to pet them while Kagome kicked him away from her. They all went out to the front of the shrine where Kagome turned around to say good bye when she froze and stared at something behind all of them. When they turned around they saw a hawk demon walking out of a portal.
"Team Urameshi, your owner was informed that you will need a fifth fighter for the dark tournament, who is your fifth fighter?"
"WHAT! BUT-"
"If you do not tell me who your fifth fighter is now you will be…provided…a fighter."
The demon gave an evil grin that promised giving them a bad fighter or one that would attack at night. Kagome looked over them all and could tell that they all knew what this tournament was all about and had probably been to one.
'Hmm, if I volunteer to be their fifth fighter then maybe I can get some answers from Yusuke and find out why he hangs out with demons, powerful humans, and has a high spiritual level himself. Kagome you are a genus!'
"I'm their fifth fighter, Kagome Higurashi."
The demon looked at her and smirked.
"Very well, another useless human."
"Want to say that again?"
Hearing the Kagome's cold voice made them shiver and seeing the glare that accompanied it made them shudder. The hawk demon left as quickly as he could after telling them that the boat would bock in one month in the same place as last year. Yusuke turned and glared angrily at Kagome.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! YOU CAN'T FIGHT AND COULD EASLY GET KILLED! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DARK TOURNAMENT!"
Kagome just looked at him annoyed.
"Finding out what you've been doing. How would you know? You haven't seen or contacted me in years, and if I could get killed then so could you. And that's nice but at this point in time I don't know what the dark tournament is other then a tournament. Now if you don't mind I have to go tell my second family where I'll be in a month, train…WITHOUT you, and find out a little about this tournament so bye bye."
Kagome walked away and Yusuke was actually speechless for once along with everyone else.
oOo With Kagome oOo
When Kagome got home she told Sango what happened and then went to change while
Sango phone Miroku, told him what happened and told him to tell Sesshomaru and get
home. Sango also changed and they went into the dojo and spared for awhile. About ten minutes later Miroku and Sesshomaru came also dressed for battle. Kagome told them she had something important to tell them so they all gathered in the middle of the dojo.
"Well the night that Sess and Inu or as I like to call them Fluffy and Puppy adopted me Midoriko came to me in a dream and made so I am somehow a full Kitsune demon yet still have the Inu blood, I know, confusing, I don't really understand either. She trained me for a little over two years so I'm better then…well…a week ago /sweatdrop/."
"Can we see what you look like Kagome-chan?"
"Sure Sango-chan."
Kagome let the glamour down so they could all see her real form. They were all speechless until Sesshomaru smirked and went to the opposite side of the dojo meaning he wanted to test her.
oOo With Yusuke oOo
Shortly after Kagome left they all got to training and for once Yusuke wasn't complaining, in fact, he was pushing himself harder.
'If I can get better then I can fight for Kagome and guarantee that she doesn't get hurt.'
When out of no where a girl floating on an oar came up to him.
"Wow Yusuke, you sure are training hard!"
"What do you want Botan?" Yusuke asked annoyed.
"Just came to tell you, you have an invitation to the dark tournament and Koenma was informed this morning that you need to find a fifth – what?"
Yusuke was glaring at her like there was no tomorrow when Shuichi came up to them.
"We already know Botan and the fifth fighter has unfortunately become Kagome, Yusuke's cousin."
"Oh my, does she at least know of demons?"
"HELL NO! MY COUSIN CAN'T EVEN FIGHT!"
Shuichi winced slightly at the volume and Botan became panicked.
"I have to tell Koenma right away!"
Botan disappeared into a portal while Yusuke and Shuichi went back to training.
