Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho so don't sue.

Dozo!

Kagome awoke to the blinding sunlight which cascaded over her room. She took a quick glance at her clock and knew she had overslept so within ten minutes she finished her grooming and was out the door, anxious to meet her new brother.

Across town

Yusuke walked down the street carefree as usual until he noticed Keiko sitting on a bench.

"Hey Keiko!" he shouted.

"Yusuke! I was just hanging around waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?"

"Yeah, I wanted to ask if you worked everything out with your sister."

"We did. In fact I'm going to hang out with her now. Wanna come?"

"You sure I won't get in your way?"

"I'm sure, besides if Kuwabara can't get in my way then you certainly can't."

"Urameshi! Hey Urameshi!"

"Speak of the devil…" Yusuke said under his breath.

"He's not that bad."

"That's what you think. What is it Kuwabara?"

"I wanted to know if you guys wanted to hang out? Kurama and Hiei are on their way now."

"I can't I'm meeting my sister."

"Don't lie to me after all these years of pounding your brain into the dirt; I know you don't have a sister."

"Actually Kuwabara he does and hasn't he been pounding your brain into the dirt/"

"The girl has a point." Hiei said out of no where.

"Hey shrimp when did you get here?" Kuwabara said looking in the tree.

"Actually we've been here the whole time." Kurama said as he jumped out the tree.

"The whole time?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes and we would like to know how you got a sister?"

"Well actually she's my stepsister and it seems that my rat bastard father was cheating on her mother with my mom. So you guys wanna come wit me or not. I'm already running late."

"We'd be happy to accompany you." Said Kurama.

Twenty five minutes later

"Where in the seven hells is he?" Kagome shouted angrily.

"You know it's not healthy to talk to yourself; right?"

"Yusuke you're late ya know?"

"I know I know but my friends wanted to come and meet you."

"Oh well… you're excused."

"Well then since we've finished our first official sibling argument I'll introduce you to my friends. You already know Keiko, but the goofy looking guy with the orange hair is Kuwabara; the red head is Kurama; and the short guy is Hiei."

"Hello all." Kagome said as she bowed, "so Yusuke where are we off to?"

"I thought you would know."

"Well we could go to…"

Just then three girls pulled Kagome to the side. They were none other than Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka, once again butting into Kagome's love-life.

"So Kagome is the short dude, that guy you're in love with?"
"What?"

"No way it has to be the guy in green."

"Umm… guys" Kagome tried to shut them up.

"I think it's the red head but he doesn't have that bad boy look."

"You guys know we could hear you right?" Yusuke interrupted.

"Umm…" the three girls said together.

"Anyways, guys these three are my friends, Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka. They also happen to be my apparent love counselors."

The three girls began to blush.

"Hi ladies" said Yusuke, "I would like to be this badass boyfriend of Kagome's but I'm already taken" he said as he pointed to a red Keiko, "and I think there are laws against incest in this country."

"So who are you her cousin?" asked Yuka

"No her brother"

"Okay pal, we've known Kagome since she was five and we know she doesn't have a brother." Eri said

"Actually Eri we met yesterday. I didn't know I had a brother either." Kagome said sheepishly.

"Oh well, so who are the other guys?"

"They're Yusuke's friends."

"So then, you're not dating any of them right?" Yuka said cunningly.

"No, we just met, and why?"

"Because…" they all said as the latched onto Kurama.

"Hey aren't you Minamino, that smart guy from Takashi High?"

"Yes but…"

None of finished their sentences because in less then 10 seconds, Kagome had already grabbed her friends from Kurama and gave them a verbal scolding.

"You guys are so embarrassing,"

"Can we go with you guys then?"

"No way, go home."

"But…"

"No, now leave!"

"Fine, we'll just go to Hojo's."

"Like I care" asked Kagome smugly.

The three love consultants left Kagome and the others quite saddened that their friend didn't want to hang out with them. Kagome however although guilty was relieved they didn't stay. They would have most likely tried to set her up with one of Yusuke's friends.

"Well, guys shall we go?" asked Kagome after a long silence.

"Ummm… shouldn't you go after them" asked Keiko.

"No way, every time they see some cute guy they either try to hook me up; no matter what I say they have to learn they can't meddle in other people's affairs."

"Hey sis' you make it sound like you're taken or something." Yusuke said with a grin on his face/

"Me? Taken? What makes you think that?" Kagome asked defensively.

"You mean besides that suspicious answer and red face? I don't know."

Too bad she's taken thought a certain kitsune.

/Youko what is that supposed to mean? /

It means too bad that someone so rambunctiously, open-minded, and hot could be taken

/Yeah too bad/ said Kurama rolling his eyes.

I guess we'll just have to set our love on its previous course, Hiei

/Unbelievable, is that all you think about, sex and love/

There is fighting too ya know

/Yes of course how could I forget? Fighting. /

"Hello? Anyone home?" asked Kagome as she waved her hand in front of Kurama's face.

"S-sorry I must have zoned out." Kurama said politely.

"Must be his schizophrenia again" Yusuke said lowly.

"Schizophrenia?" asked Kagome, (obviously not low enough)

"Ummm... yeah it's an inside joke right guys?" Yusuke said rubbing his head.

"Yes of course"

"Yeah"

"Hn"

Thankfully everyone agreed to his statement.

"Well, then we should go to the martial arts tournament" said Kagome.

"Martial arts? I've seen way too much of that in my lifetime." Keiko said.

"Well the tournament is very interesting Keiko and who knows, you might just find someone better than Yusuke, a person who can actually defend themselves."

"Hey! I can fight you know!"

"Yeah but not as good as the guy I want to see." Said Kagome in a matter-of-fact tone

"Yeah well who is this so called great fighter?"

"His name is Satsugai Yuushuu."

"Satsugai Yuushuu? What kind of name is that? It means…"

"Killing perfection" answered Hiei.

"Yes, he reminds me of this story I once heard from Gramps."

"A story? What kind of story."

"Oh it's about a demon called Sesshomaru and his half-brother Inuyasha."

This girl knows of our lord!

/Isn't that a bad thing? /

Not really

"Come Kags you can't believe a story about demons we all know they don't exist." Said Yusuke

"Wait a minute Urameshi what about Hi-." said a certain baka.

Suddenly Kagome turned serious

"Of course I believe in demons how can a world exist without the unexplained. Every story comes from somewhere; they don't just come out of thin air."

"I think that is a brilliant theory, Kagome" said Kurama, "every story and myth must have some truth to it."

"Yeah"

"So onna, what is the truth behind this Sesshomaru?"

"Number one, don't call me onna, I have name, use. Number two, I know that there was a Sesshomaru because our shrine holds a sword his father left for him, the Tenseiga."

"Impossible! No one could have that sword; it has been missing for over four centuries."

"Well, we do have the sword, and as much as I'd like to stand here and argue with you boys, I would like to get to the arena and watch the fight." She said as she walked off.

"Damn, Urameshi, with a temper like that you can tell she's related to you." Said Kuwabara.

"Shut up baka!" said Yusuke as he hit Kuwabara over the head and left to follow Kagome.

After walking in total silence, with the exception of Kagome and Keiko talking rapidly, the gang arrived at the arena. The stadium was huge and full of thousands of people chanting the name of the prize fighter, Satsugai Yuushuu. The said fighter finally walked into the ring, wear a white haori and hakamas, with black slippers. His face was stoic and he seemed to be quite calm considering he was about to fight. His opponent was a guy named, Inu Seppan. The guy looked cocky and anxious to get in the ring. Seppan was wearing red hakamas and a red haori. Although he looked strong, he was a disappointment to Satsugai. The fight ended very quickly, Seppan could not match the speed and grace of Satsugai. In fact, Seppan was very sloppy compared to Satsugai, and left the ring in defeat shortly after the fight ended.

Kagome was very disappointed, she thought that they had finally found a fighter worthy of Satsugai.

"Yo Kagome, you look upset."

"Of course I'm upset! I thought that the fight would actually be interesting and that Satsugai wuld actually get his arrogant butt kicked!"

"Aww… That's not a very nice thing to say." said a voice behind Kagome.

"Well, you would deserve it," she said as she turned around to face the speaker.

"You should respect old friends, Kagome" said Satsugai as he kissed her hand.

"Hey, where do you get off kissing her hand like that?!" yelled Yusuke.

"Yusuke don't worry about it we're old friends, sadly enough."

"Really, you look very familiar" said Hiei to Satsugai.

"As do you, have I seen you somewhere near Makai Street?" he hinted.

"Perhaps."

"Yes, now I remember Hiei Jaganshi, caught with the three items."

" Makai Street? Three items? What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing of importance Kagome," said Satsugai nonchalantly, "it is late you should get home, I believe that your friend might show up tonight."

"Friend?"

"Yes, your friend, the annoying red rat!" he said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Oh, yeah him! Uhh… Guys I got to go and meet my friend. Satsugai would you mind dropping me off?"

"Of course not."

"Wait a minute! How can you even trust this guy, Kagome? He's a fighter you just met!"

"For your information Yusuke, Satsugai and I have been friends for many, many years and I don't need you or anyone else to protect me!" she said angrily. "Satsugai, let's go!"

Kagome grabbed Satsugai's arm roughly and dragged him to the silver convertible he owned.

"Nice meeting you all! I'll never know how nice people like you know a jerk like Yusuke"

"Hey wait a min-" his argument was cut was short by Satsugai driving away with a speed rivaling Hiei's.

In the Car

"So what were you guys talking about, Fluffy?"

"Nothing that concerns you. Now we'd better get you home before brother dearest discovers that you are missing."

"Don't talk about Inuyasha like that!"

"I see you still have feelings for him?"

"Well…" she said as she blushed feverously, "well I kind of still like him."

"Admit you're in love with him and before you start to argue we're here, so get ready to meet him."

"Damn you"

"Yeah love you too. Now get out "

"See you tomorrow Sess- I mean Satsugai."

"Yes, good bye I have to go; there are matters to attend to."

He watched as she left the car and walked up the shrine steps, disappearing into the shadows of night.
