Explanation

Hiei POV

'Who was that girl and how was she able to do such damage with barely a touch.' I thought as I fingered my chest were moments ago, before Kurama had Botan heal me, there had been a huge and severe burn. All I could remember seeing was a soft pink glow come out of her hand before pain took over my pain and mind. What hurt the worst though was knowing that, that human female had held back, she hadn't used near to her full power.

I want answers I am going to get them.

Kurama's POV

As I walked into Koenma's office I wandered at what I would find. The fox in me wanted answers; in fact it was pure luck that Yoko was still asleep. It wasn't like him to be quieted for more than a day. People who know my secret think that I am only able to awaken him when my life is in danger and that is not corrected he is almost always there with me, it is only in those times that I am willing and able to give him complete control over our body. When he was awake he loved to talk and make comments on anything that was of interest. His wisdom could come in handy but part of me; the human part didn't want Kagome to have anything to do with Spirit World.

"She might already, you know." Yoko's voice. He was awake the question was for how long had he been awake.

"I woke up shortly after you bumped into the girl, but I decided to stay quiet and see what you would do." Well at least I wouldn't have to explain anything.

"Yoko could you tell me anything you might know about Kagome and her power?" Chances are that if any one knew anything it would be Yoko, I just hoped it was good news. For some unknown reason I felt drawn to her and I couldn't stand the though of bad news.

"Well the girl most certainly has great legs, but her I don't know about her power. It could be that she is a miko, but there hasn't been a powerful well trained miko since the barrier was created over three hundred years ago." Well at least that was something more, but not enough I knew that I had heard the term miko before but I didn't know what it was.

'A miko is a girl with sacred powers, or in other words a priestess. Those sacred powers give them the ability to purify a demon straight out of existence with one touch. They also have amazing healing powers and can feel auras. Some of the more powerful priestess can use their power without a medium, most however would need a bow and arrow or a sword. Some were known to use sacred sutras which are more commonly used by monks. From what I saw she would have had to have been trained by a monk.' Yoko said in a content voice, any one could tell that he was proud of the knowledge he possessed. You would think though that I would be used to him reading my every though, but it still bugged me when he interrupted my thinking with an answer. The question now was where had Kagome trained or most importantly how had she come to know of her powers. When she had seen that demon she had acted calmly as if she had much experience.

I was brought out of my thoughts when we Koenma finally realized that we were there.

"Hello Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama. To what do I owe this honor?" He wasn't happy to see us which made sense seeing that he we were need it was bad news. That and if the rumors running around Spirit world were true than King Yama was here checking up on everything.

"Toddler, there was a demon in the park, a strong one; it acted as if my spirit gun was nothing. Then this girl that was with Kurama beat it with a piece of paper." Yusuke said once again using his loud frustrated tone. A piece of paper though, even before Yoko informed me on mikos and what they could due, I knew that the paper was a sacred sutra. Seeing as Yusuke never even went to school it made since that he wouldn't know much about what happens at real shrines, not counting Genkai's of course.

"So what can you tell me about this girl, Yusuke." Koenma said in a tired voice. Yusuke looked life he was about to lose his temper.

"Her name is Kagome Higurashi, she lives at Sunset Shrine and has just transferred to my school. Yoko says that she must be a miko but that doesn't make since seeing as there hasn't been a strong one sense before the barrier was created." I inserted before Yusuke would say something that would anger Koenma. Then Koenma would probably through us out and stay out of contact till we were needed. Both of them acted like such children.

"Kagome Higurashi, well she happens to be the reincarnation of Kikyo. Kikyo was the guardian of the Scared Jewel before she died, she even took it with her to the afterlife." He said as if he were thinking, he searched around his desk as if he were looking for something.

"Yoko, do you know anything about the Sacred Jewel besides the rumors?" He would know something, how couldn't he. One couldn't be the best demon thief without knowing about something as powerful as the Sacred Jewel.

"Red, all anyone knows about the Sacred Jewel are the rumors. I looked for it for a while a little over four hundred years ago but it had disappeared with its last protector long before that." So for once having Yoko in me wasn't going to come in handy.

"Now I think the only one to tell you about Lady Kagome would probably be Lady Kagome all you need to know is that she is powerful and that she is the guardian of the Sacred Jewel." Koenma said in a calm voice, he then pressed a button that was used to call Botan.

'The protector of the Sacred Jewel, how could that be Koenma said that Kikyo had taken it with her to the after life with her. Why would Koenma call her Lady?'

All I was getting was more questions, not the answers that I wanted. This was something I was not used to.

'Red, it surprises me how that is supposed to be so smart can be so stupid. If Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, the Sacred Jewel could have been reborn with her. As for why Koenma would call her Lady I don't know unless she knows somebody important or she has done something great.' I knew what Yoko meant but I didn't see who she could know and I couldn't think of what she would have been able to do to earn so much respect from some one as powerful and well known as Koenma. I also didn't want to know how the Sacred Jewel could be reborn with a human.

It was then as I was torn from my musings as Botan opened a portal right under my feet. I closed my eyes when I fell to the ground then picked myself up. I then opened my eyes and started to look around, we were at a shrine. Koenma must have had Botan send us to Sunset Shrine to get answers from Kagome.

"Where the hell are we?" Yusuke asked as he looked around, he had a bad scratch on his wrist and palm from when he had fallen through the portal and tried to catch himself. Hiei looked none the worse for ware except for the lack of most of the front of his shirt. He was looking around and from the slight glow under the head band I knew he was using the Jagan.

"I think that we may be at the Sunset Shrine to get out answers from Kagome." I told Yusuke, there was no need to tell Hiei for he would have figured that out right away.

He walked away from the tree that we had landed by, the tree gave of an enormous amount of power that sent shivers down my spine. I was happy to be walking away from it. We walked to what was the house and I was about to knock on the door when it opened and Kagome stood there. Not looking to happy either.

"What are you three doing here?" Asked in a tone that was devoid of all emotion. I wasn't expecting a happy welcome, but from her aura and from the talks we had I didn't expect to be able to sound this cold.

"What do think we are doing her, we came for some answers and we won't leave until we get them." Yusuke snapped. This wouldn't be good, we didn't need a fight especially if we wanted some answers.

"I assumed that's why you are here but honestly makes you thing that I will give you the answers to which to seek." She asked. She grabbed something be the doorway and readied it. It happened to be a bow, it was then that I saw the quiver of arrows on her back. She had an arrow notched and I knew this could end badly.

"Kagome we didn't come for a fight, all we want to know is how you came to know of your powers. We would also like to know how you discovered the Sacred Jewel." She seemed to pause in thought for a moment then looked us over, she must have decided to trust us for she lowered her bow and stepped aside to let us in. She walked us to what must be the family room and took a seat on a chair across from the couch. She motioned for us to take a seat and we did even Hiei did.

"First of the short one needs to stop trying to get inside my mind. Second I have no idea where to start." She said as if we were all seating down for Sunday Tea and were discussing nothing more than the weather. We were all shocked that she could even be aware that Hiei was trying to get to her thoughts. He seemed to tense for a moment before he relaxed again.

"I guess I should start at the beginning which was just a little over three years ago, you see it all started on my fifteenth birthday when a centipede demon pulled my through the bone eater's well…" All of us listened in silence as she told of everything she had seen, done and been through. I felt like laughing over how just earlier today I had wondered if she could even accept the existence of demons.

Today had turned out to be a most interesting day indeed.

Okay, I need to review to tell me how the story is thus far. Are there to many details, should I stick to just Kagome and the yuyu gang. What should the couple be I was going to have it start out KagKur but end KagHiei so tell me what you think.
