Chapter Six Kagome's First Encounter With Kurama
"Wah! This fluffy thing is so sweet," Sango exclaimed as she bit onto her cotton candy. Shippo and Souta were at the arcade. Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome were heading towards the Ferris wheel. Miroku and Sango were enthusiastically discussing the sights they had seen in the amusement park. They too had repeatedly sat the roller coaster. Exhilarated by the wind in their face and the excitement while going down the slope.
Kagome smiled. It was really a change from battling Naraku for so long. He didn't seem to be able to die after countless of attacks from them and would regenerate after a battle. It was frustrating. And sickening.
Inuyasha also seemed to be enjoying himself. It was easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful day. However, Inuyasha was attracting a lot of attention with his unusual silver hair and amber eyes.
Eyes like polished chunks of amber.
Miroku was also attracting a lot of attraction. His dark purple eyes were flashing at the sight of modern Japan, not at some scantily dressed girl, which was good for a change. He also only had eyes for Sango who looked really pretty in modern clothing.
They had gone on nearly all the rides twice or even thrice, in Sango's or Miroku's case. It was fun and the whole day had been great.
"Whoa!"
" Let's go there , it looks like fun." Said Kagome dashing to a booth. Inuyasha and the others followed.
"What's that?" asked Sango curiously. Miroku mirrored her expression.
"Oh, you have five darts and if you managed to hit at least three of them, you get to choose any one of these adorable soft toys," said the man in charge of the booth.
"Wah! That dog reminds me of you Inuyasha!" said Kagome. There as one of the prizes sat a white dog plushie, not bigger than her purse with a droopy look to its eyes and large floppy ears. "Isn't it adorable? I've got to have it!"
Sango pointed to another cuddly toy. "I like that one!" She said. The cat plushie resembled Kirara. It even had two tails!
Miroku cleared his throat and said. "How much is it to play, sir?" he asked. The man chuckled and said, it's Yamanaka. Not sir. It's only … yen. (Don't really know much about the currency, so I 'm leaving it blank. What's the most common amount for games? Tell me k.) "
Miroku looked at Kagome pleadingly, mentally asking her to give him the amount asked by Yamanaka – san. Kagome laughed and proceeded to hand Miroku the money. Yamanaka – san had an amused look on his face, he must have thought that Miroku was broke and had to borrow from another.
Since Miroku was trained in fighting and aiming accurately, he snagged the plushie for Sango in record time. Sango squealed when Miroku handed her the plushie and he shocked her by giving her a kiss on the cheek. He didn't even attempt to grope her too. Sango blushed prettily.
Kagome smiled at her two best friends' antics. She too wanted to try her luck and was searching her purse for the money when Inuyasha spoke.
"Kagome, hand me some money. I want to play too. "Inuyasha said off handedly. Kagome handed him the money without question.
"Here Yama – whatever. I'd like to have a go." Inuyasha said. Grabbing hold of the darts he aimed and the darts tore holes to the make shift wall of cloth. Inuyasha was a hanyou and had more power than an average human after all.
Yamanaka's eyes were practically bugging out, "You... you… You just tore blasted holes on my stall and those darts might accidentally hurt someone!" Yamanaka roared causing Inuyasha's invisible ears to unwillingly flatten onto his head.
Kagome apologized furiously as Sango and Miroku edged quietly away from the stall. Inuyasha was in trouble… And they didn't want to be there when…
Kagome was on fire. Uh... Ok, there she goes. Kagome's aura flared up. Even the birds around the area flew away; Kagome was really scary when she blew up.
"Osuwari!" Kagome screamed. Inuyasha's face met with dirt.
When he got up, he just gave Kagome a look. "I did it for you Kagome. You didn't have to go ballistic!" Inuyasha yelled the last bit out. "I would never do anything for you again if that was your thanks!" With that, he took the said plushie and ripped it in front of Kagome. Then, he stomped off. "Goodbye!" He yelled before he disappeared from sight.
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
High in her nose Kagome felt the sting of unshed tears. I'm tired of crying, she thought, and so she didn't.
"I 'm sorry Yamanaka – san, I'll find the darts for you and I'll compensate for all the damage he's done." Muttered Kagome bowing.
"It's ok girl. Here. Why don't you take this plushie? It might not be the same as the one he tore but it might do." Yamanaka handed her another plushie that resembled a kitsune. It was also silver and also had amber eyes. It even had a fluffy tail.
Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
Kagome took it and thanked the man. She gave Sango a look that clearly told her that she needed to be alone.
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
Miroku and Sango sighed. Inuyasha no baka. He had to break her heart again. Wasn't she hurt enough? Does he need to make her feel even more… broken?
Take back that sad word good-bye
Kagome sat in solace under a tree that hid her appearance from others that walked past. As the tears sat on the brim of her eyes, threatening to overspill, Kagome swiped at them angrily, brushing them away. She had already cried all she needed, and there was no point now. The first step in forgetting the pain was feeling none, which meant there would be no need to cry.
Take back that sad word good-bye
But… Would the pain ever end?

Kurama sighed and rubbed his temples. The Reikai Tantei had moved to an empty apartment in Tokyo, nearby the shrine to work on their mission. They even had too change schools. He wasn't particularly looking forward to entertaining more fan girls. Back in his old school, after being pestered for so long, he had blurted out that he was gay. That stopped the rampage of girls every where he turned. They even avoided him, which he was extremely grateful for.
Another white lie?
Botan, Yukina and Keiko who insisted that she followed too registered to the school. Only Hiei didn't bother to register. Where would he get his papers anyway?
It came to their attention, that a few others had also registered earlier that day and they had lost their papers in very extraordinary ways.
"What was their name?" inquired Keiko. "And how did they look like?"
That got some suspicious glance from Miss Ai but she answered nonetheless.
"Well, there was this cute guy called Hakuro Miroku and he had the cutest ponytail," gushed Miss Ai while the boys rolled their eyes. Keiko and Botan beckoned the lady to continue.
"There was also this girl. Plain. Brown hair, brown eyes. Name was Kurimi Sango."
"Oh, and the other boy had the most unusual coloring." That brought their attention. "How did he look like?' asked Kurama speaking up for the first time that day...
"Well… He had gorgeous long silver hair and his eyes were a beautiful gold," exclaimed Miss Ai.
Silver hair, gold eyes? That sounded suspiciously like a demon. Youko Kurama also had that coloring.
"What was his name?" asked Yusuke. Their first task was beckoning. The tension was building up in the room and Miss Ai gulped seeing the particularly sharp gazes of the students that were directed to her.
"Takaishi Inuyasha."
Inuyasha?
They were on to him.
Keiko and Botan had persuaded them to go to a famous amusement park in Tokyo. He chose to stay behind as he had a growing migraine in his head. Even Hiei followed, as Yukina had asked him to follow and Hiei never said no. Kurama smiled a little but stopped when his head throbbed. Yukina still did not know that Hiei was her brother and she was staying in the Ningenkai until she found him.
Kurama found that particularly amusing. She was searching for her brother who was so close to her.
Then, Kurama's sharp ears caught a faint sobbing sound. It was muffled but the sound was distressing to his ears. The faint scent of despondency and melancholy. The scent made him feel the same. It was agony to feel that way.
He decided to trace where the scent and sound came from.
Its close whispered Youko. His counterpart as they headed towards a huge tree. The bench was hidden underneath the shadows of the tree. If it wasn't for Kurama's sharp sense of sight, smell and hearing, he would never catch sight of a certain female coddling a toy in the shadows. Nor hear the sound tears made as they slid over her face. Or smell the scent of desolation in the air, hiding her natural scent which he could barely make out.
Roses.
And… Spices?
Yes. Youko decided that she smelled particularly good.
It was enticing and it drew him near her.
Shuuichi Minamino took over.
A very beautiful young lady sat on the bench. Her raven locks falling over her face. The plushie was practically suffocating in her hold.
"Miss? Are you all right?" He said as he came closer. Her smooth features came into view. Kami. How he loved being a demon now. He was able to absorb every little detail. Her smooth face, he did not come across any flaw as he traced her features. Pale and slender, her beauty had a transfixing harmony to it – high, wide cheekbones, sharp little chin, willowy throat. Her hair fell softly over her shoulders.
She was beautiful. And he wanted her. For the first time ever, in history. When he was still Youko Kurama, he had felt nothing for other demons that had wanted him as their mate. He had never felt the electricity that crackled when he took another's appearance in. Neither did he feel the strange pull in the heart before. Then, as Shuuichi, he was also constantly chased by girls. He had never felt such a desire to put his lips upon another's. She had an oddly beguiling mouth, her lips naturally rosy and rather wide, but not full.
"Leave me alone." Came the muffled reply.
"It would be easier to face the problem if you would share it with others you know," Kurama said, sitting beside her, not bothering to ask for permission.
"What do you know!" she yelled to his face. "How would you understand my distress! You...! You...! Baka! A stranger too at that! How would you know what I've been through? You...!
So… In addition to her god – like beauty, she has an intense temper to match. What a catch. Youko hummed in Shuuichi's mind.
Then, she opened her eyes.
Blue clashed with green. And he fell.
