oOo Last Time oOo
"You suffer from insanity miko." Sesshomaru said as Kagome sat down.
"I don't suffer from insanity…I enjoy every minute of it." Kagome gave him a large grin.
oOo Chapter 9 oOo
Sango and Miroku sweat dropped while Shippo nodded sagely.
"Anyway Kagome-chan, we weren't here to watch your first fight, how did it go."
Remembering the fight Kagome burst out laughing making a few people around her jump.
"Oh it was great! It was a group of Jaken's! Kuwabara and Kurama won the first two matches and I took the third one 'cause it was the leader and had a staff similar to Jaken's. He even yelled out that he would beat this 'human' and then I taught him how to fly. It was so much fun."
"Sounds like you're having fun in this tournament, think the rest of it will be as well Kagome-sama?"
"No. I know it won't. Hiten is alive and I will be fighting him in the last match."
The table went quiet and was broken by a strangely soft spoken Shippo.
"Don't kill him momma."
They all looked at Shippo who looked back nervously.
"Why?"
"Well, because he's kinda like Inu Yasha and we did kill his brother…and he's Souten's cousin."
"What do you mean he's like the half breed kit?"
"Well, he only killed my dad for the shikon shard and Inu Yasha killed a lot of demons for shards. He just wanted what almost every other demon wanted."
"Ok Ship, I promise I won't kill him, but I'll still kick his butt."
"Ok mommy!"
Shippo jumped across the table and hugged Kagome.
"So Kagome-chan, how are your team mates?"
"Well, me and Yusuke love each other, but we were really close when we were little so we pretty much picked off where we left off, picking on each other and what not. Kuwabara is like Yusuke at a much lesser degree. Kurama is gorgeous, no denying that, I'm definitely attracted to him, heck, he can even make me blush and I'm a kitsune. Hiei, well we have a love hate relationship, we love to hate each other."
"Oh, well I'm sure you and Hiei will eventually get along."
"Ya, I find it fun, and I think to a degree he does too, but we're not exactly friends."
"Ummm ya, well…Oh! Raja is in our room, we can go get him whenever you want. Although Sesshomaru says he can't help in matches it would be nice to have him right?"
"Yup! Can we go get him when you're done eating?"
"Of course Kagome-sama."
Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes, and there we will talk about what you are planning to reveal in this tournament and then you will bring us to your teammates."
Kagome nodded and waited while everyone else finished breakfast. She followed them up to their room and whistled when she saw it.
"Let me guess, Fluffy got this."
"Yup, but whadya expect from him momma?"
"This, I expected this."
They all sat on a chair around a coffee table.
"So miko, do you plan on letting everyone thinking you are a human or are you going to reveal you are more?"
"Well I'm probably going to reveal I'm a miko since I'll probably have to use them in my fight with Hiten but unless there's no other choice, they're not finding out I'm a demon or the protect jewel."
"Hiten might reveal the jewel Kagome-sama."
"Then I'll deal with it then."
"That is all I wanted to know. Miko. Now I would like to meet these teammates of yours."
"Then we better head out now before they leave to go training somewhere."
Kagome hoped up and skipped to the door while the others followed less enthusiastic except for Shippo who bounced to Kagome and jumped onto her shoulder. Kagome smiled and started humming "We're Off to See the Wizard" and Shippo soon joined in. Kagome stopped in front of her room door, still humming, and waited for Miroku to catch up as he was left behind after a grope/knockout scene.
oOo Kurama's POV oOo
I looked towards the door when I heard humming outside of it. Hiei did too. I could smell it was Kagome with others, her kit, the slayer, and someone I didn't know. I can only assume the reason that they are standing outside the door is to wait for the monk. I think it annoys Hiei that he can't get into any of their heads, expectably when he thought they were normal humans.
I hear the door open so I stop my thoughts and pay attention to the door, I want to know who the unknown male is and I know when Youko wakes up he will as well.
oOo Normal POV oOo
Kagome saw Miroku running towards them so she reached for the door knob and opened the door. She walked in a few steps ad then stopped seeing Hiei and Kurama staring at the door. She raised an eyebrow and walked farther into the room so the others could get in.
Once they were all in (including Miroku) Kagome skipped to Yusuke and Kuwabara's room and basically told them to get there butts to the living room. That done Kagome skipped back into the living room and plopped down on Sesshomaru's lap and started playing with his tail. Shippo then jumped onto Kagome's lap and they sat there until Yusuke and Kuwabara stumbled out of their room and into the living room whereupon Yusuke glared at Sesshomaru (as his cousin was sitting in his lap playing and cuddling with his tail with his arms around her waist).
oOo Kurama's POV oOo
The 'unknown man' turned out to be a demon that looked slightly like Youko. From what I know from some of Youko's memory's before living many years as a human with the love of a mother he was quite emotionless around everybody, even for the most part around Kuroune. And since this kitsune in me is vain and forever will be, I also know exactly how he looks. Take away the face markings, add fox ears, and change the tail to that of a foxes, and you'd have Youko. I watch as Kagome goes to get Yusuke and Kuwabara and watch as she comes back, only to sit on the demons lap. Her son didn't waste any time on jumping onto her lap even when on the demon so this must not be an unusual thing. Gods, it's a good thing Youko's not awake. If I feel like ripping this guy to shreds and then feed the shreds to my death tree, I don't want to know how Youko would react. Well there's one plus to dull human nails, even though my hands are clenched tightly, they haven't pierced the skin. So I can continue to glare at this demon unnoticed.
Well I guess this is one thing my and Yusuke agrees on, even if it's for different reasons as he too glared at the demon. I take a deep breath and calm myself as I'm sure Kagome is going to introduce everyone and explain why they are here and I don't want to miss that.
oOo Normal POV oOo
"Ok everyone, this is my cousin Yusuke, he is the leader of the team; Kuwabara, he's Yusuke's friend and though doesn't seem it, is pretty strong and really brave, sometimes stupid-idly like Puppy; Hiei, he is a fire/ice apparition with an attitude similar to yours Fluffy, you should challenge him to a fight later Sango, he'll definitely give you a run for your money; and this is Kurama, or that's what he likes to be called, his human name is Shuuichi and his demon is Youko or something like that, he's a kitsune like you Ship, you should talk to him later. Team, this is Sango, she is a demon slayer, the last actually; Kilala, she is Sango's fire neko companion, they've been together for years; Miroku, he is a monk and also a pervert who you should keep away from any female you know; Raja, my ice neko companion, I only got him a little while ago but I still love him; Shippo, he is my little kitsune, I adopted him not to long ago but we knew each other before that for quite awhile; And Fluffy, or as you will have to call him as I'm the only one allowed to call him that, Sesshomaru-sama, he is the lord of the Western demon place." "Makia." "Right, Makia, thanks Fluffy. They just wanted to meet you all, and I am now going to make tea for everyone, you wanna come and help Shippo?"
"Ya!"
Kagome stood up holding Shippo, smiled at everyone and walked into the kitchen.
oOo Sesshomaru's POV oOo
The kitsune may not know, but I do realize that he is glaring at me. And as it only started when my sister sat on me, I have a clue on why. I'll have to talk to him and I believe the others will want to as well. And knowing my sister as well as I do, I'd say as soon as she's done introducing us she'll leave to give us time to talk.
Ah, right on time, I'll have to put up a sound barrier so she can't hear though.
((Yes, I know, out of character, but this is in his thoughts, on the outside he is still emotionless.))
oOo Normal POV oOo
Everyone looked at Sesshomaru as his sound barrier went up.
"I will only say this once fox. If you plan to pursue Kagome, it better not be just to get her in your bed."
"WHAT! YOU LIKE MY COUSIN!" Yusuke screamed, alas, no one was paying attention to him.
"Kagome-sama has many friends and allies in high places, Sesshomaru-sama will not be the only one after you, nor will we."
"Kagome-chan has been hurt before, repeatedly. She can't take much more heart ache. So unless you are serous in pursuing her, don't even look at her."
"We are her family Kurama-san, whether by heart or blood adoption, and we will do anything to keep her happy."
"And if it means being with you, we'll allow it."
"But if you hurt her kitsune, you can run, but you'll never run far enough."
"I don't plan on hurting her, I know I myself am attracted to her and I know Youko wishes to make her his mate, but I will never do anything that she does not wish. I was actually planning on asking Yusuke today if I could court her, I suppose I'll have to ask all of you as well. Sango-san, Miroku-san, Sesshomaru-sama, Yusuke, I would like to ask if I could court Kagome."
"You have our approval kitsune and you know our threats."
"Keh, you hurt her Kurama, and I'll be the first to get you."
"Tea!"
Everyone jumped as Kagome happy voice interrupted their thoughts.
----------------------------------
The rest of the day was spent peacefully. The Inu group met Koenma, Botan, Kieko, Kuwabara's sister, and Yukina. Miroku of course asked all the females to bear his children, which resulted in him being knocked out for a whole 10 seconds. The Inu group also took Kagome's suggestions they were given when introduced, Sango challenged Hiei and Shippo talked a lot with Kurama. Kagome also laughed manically which scared the guys as the girls were the only ones who were privy to the information that resulted in it. By the time the sun was setting everyone was making their way to their beds ready to face the next day.
