As I promised the second chapter of the two chapter update, any Bet You Can't readers, expect the two chapter update in the next few weeks.

InuYasha looked up; the soul collectors were staying close by, in InuYasha's Forest in fact. Kagome noticed them also her smile fading, recalling the events from the night before. Hiei say the smile fade and surprising enough he wanted it back on the face, her not smiling didn't suit her. Kurama was now in a discussion with Youko, 'Why are you troubled Youko?'

'She reminds me of my former mate, who died 16 years from the present's past. Then I 'died' the following year, you know we had a daughter right?'

The mental Kurama shook his head he wasn't aware of that, 'Wait…so are you saying that Kagome is your daughter.'

Youko shook his head, 'You are a part of me so she is your daughter also.'

Kurama just felt himself grow light-headed. Everyone looked as the kitsune as he swayed and fainted.

Sorry what would you do if you suddenly had a child a year older then your self-

Kagome went over to him and checked the kitsune's vitals. "He's alright."

Hiei had heard the mental conversation and smirked, "Foxy, is just fine, he just had a shock, that's all."

Kagome turn to the other demon with a pleading look, "So will you tell us, right?"

Hiei smirked and shook his head. "I don't think so, I'd rather not have Kurama mad at me."

Kagome sighed, "First you don't tell us what he thought of us at breakfast then you won't tell us why he fainted… I get it you're afraid because you are weaker than Kurama, so you don't want to get him mad."

Yusuke stood up not wanting to get involved in the affair, leaving to explore the village with Kazuma. Hiei gave her a cold look, 'And I thought that she was cute, who was I kidding?'

Kagome sighed, 'He's smarter than InuYasha, now he would have fallen for the bait and spilled.'

Hiei's smirk returned, "You have to do better then that to get me to slip up."

Kagome looked to where InuYasha was, scowling to discover that he wasn't there, she thought coldly, 'Kikyo. That is where he went.'

Hiei heard this and felt his heartstrings twinge at this thought, 'Jeez, why does she do that, and I was properly mad at her for calling me weak and everything.'

Shippo, not knowing what to do, decided to shake Kurama awake. Kurama sat up stupidly, blinking at the sunlight. Shippo cocked his head to the side, "Why'd you faint?"

Kurama blushed, when Hiei started to taunt him. "So is the daddy not taking fatherhood well?"

Kagome looked at both demons confused, "Fatherhood, Kurama are you a father? Oh… I know Hiei's your son, he certainly is short enough."

Kurama looked stunned then started to laugh as Hiei was chasing Kagome around threatening to catch her, maim her, kill her, the threats changed with each breath. Kurama added in a sing-song voice, "Hiei and Kagome sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G,"

Youko added in a very cold tone, "That's all they better do." Kurama resumes, "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage… That's not all, that's not all."

Kagome and Hiei jumped the fox, shutting him up. Kagome enforces her tickle torture, which she administered in between ducking Hiei's blows. Kagome smiled as Shippo leaped in the melee, but when Hiei nearly chopped Shippo in half, Kagome put a stop in it, much to Kurama's relief. Kagome thawed Hiei, apologizing slightly. Hiei huffed and climbed the tree. Yusuke returned with Kuwabara in tow, dragging the unconscious dolt by the leg. Kagome ran up to Kuwabara and checked his injuries, pulling out her first aid kit she asked, "What happened, Yusuke?"

Yusuke snorts, "The idiot, decided to take a leaf out of Miroku's book and Sango taught him a lesson."

Kagome shook her head, grumbling, "Why of all the people to copy, why the lecher?"

Kuwabara awoke, "Thank you, Lady Kagome"

Kagome pulled away, muttering that the townspeople must have been talking about her. "So what have they said about me?"

Kuwabara didn't notice the dangerous tone, "They told me everything, about the Shikon jewel being ripped from your body, and how you brought InuYasha to life, the shattering of the jewel, the rebirth of Kikyo, Onigumo and Naraku, the fact that basically he started it all, the interesting love pentagon you have with Ayame, Koga, InuYasha, Kikyo and yourself."

Kagome punched him in the head, "NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING IS GOING ON BETWEEN ME AND ANY OF THEM!"

He backed away, from the girl and the sudden cold air around him that had built up. Hiei put a hand on the girl telling her to calm down softly. Kurama stood up to further question the bruised boy. "What do you mean ripped from her body?"

Kagome sighed and lifted her shirt of the side, "They meant this. This scar is where the jewel came from."

Kurama put a finger along the pale scar, "Who did this to you?"

Kagome sighed, "It was ages ago, and the demon is long dead, thanks to InuYasha."

She stops herself from thinking or speaking the part in which InuYasha tried to kill her afterwards. Kurama caught this sudden silence and Youko growled protectively. Hiei tried to enter her mind but, caught silence. 'Damn, she must have learned to block my mind reading ability.'

Kagome turned around pulling her shirt down, noting Shippo had looked at the scar with worry. "Come on, Shippo; help me pack, so InuYasha doesn't get upset."

Watching GT, getting confused-

Shippo nods, and puts out the fire. Kagome puts up the dishes in Kaede's hut and sighs, she didn't want any of her friends to find out about InuYasha's treachery, because as much as she didn't want to admit it, they needed his strength. InuYasha returned with Kikyo at his side. Kagome felt her jaw clench, she unstuck it and asked as pleasantly as she could muster, "What brings Kikyo here, InuYasha?"

InuYasha looked at Kikyo lovingly, "She will join us for, two shard detectors are better then one."

Kikyo pressed her lips to InuYasha's, "I'll help in anyway possible, InuYasha."

Kagome turned around and mimicked gagging to the entertainment of Shippo. InuYasha growled, "What was that, Kagome?"

Kagome turned around, "SIT, what I do is my business."

InuYasha growled from his spot on the ground, Kikyo, quickly aiming at Kagome with her bow, "Girl, I suggest you not do that anymore."

Kagome prepared her own bow and pointed it at Kikyo, "The dead shouldn't make requests, SIT, of the living."

InuYasha, who had just stood, slammed back into the ground. Kikyo let her arrow fly while Kagome did the same. Both priestesses ducked the other's arrow. Kikyo's grazed Kagome's right arm, breaking the bracelet, and Kagome's grazed Kikyo's shoulder. Kagome looked at the beads in surprise as they rolled away from her. InuYasha gasped at the grey kitsune in front of him. Kagome turned her midnight blue eyes to InuYasha and Kikyo, who were on the ground. Kikyo leapt up, "I refuse to let a demon pollute my soul."

Kurama turned into Youko, "And I refuse to let a clay pot hurt my daughter."

Kagome turned to Youko with her mouth partially open, "Excuse me, I'm your what?"

Youko brushed her aside and prepared to take down Kikyo once and for all. Hiei sat Kagome down to take a look at the bleeding from her arm. He winced at the depth of the wound and began to wrap it in gauze. Kagome hissed softly but let him finish the clean up. Youko pulled out his rose whip hoping to quickly kill the lump of clay.

Sorry Kikyo fans-

He snapped the whip towards her, his expression hardened when the miko purified the whip. Youko pulls out the death seed from his hand and inserted it into her gash on her shoulder. Kikyo smirked and pulled it out, "It won't work on me; I'm dead already."

Youko smirked, "Good for you miko, you discovered the loophole to my plan."

Kagome stood up her ears twitching in time to her breathing. She held her hand out hoping that she could control the demonic power's she held, InuYasha had stood up and before, anyone could react he had claws at Kagome's throat, "Kitsune, back off of Kikyo or Kagome dies."

Kagome's eyes flashed and InuYasha's hands were being covered by a sheet of ice, "SIT, How dare you try to use me like that, InuYasha you better leave right now, as of now we are enemies."

InuYasha pulled back with Kikyo in his arms, her soul collectors rapidly repairing the damage from Kagome's sacred arrow. Kagome watched them leave with Shippo on her shoulder making an obscene gesture with his hand. Hiei stood beside the female kitsune, a hand resting on her shoulder. Sango and Miroku returned to the group surprised to see Kagome as a kitsune and InuYasha was nowhere to be found. Sango immediately ran to the younger girl, "What happened to your arm, Kagome?"

Miroku coughed, "Shouldn't the question be, what happened to you, Kagome?"

Sango whacked him, "It doesn't matter but, where was InuYasha to protect you?"

Kagome looked down, as Hiei growled, "The pathetic half-breed decided to side with the clay-pot."

Sango gasped and gave the girl a hug, Kagome spoke, "I'm sorry to say it but, InuYasha is my enemy now."

Sango shook her head, "He is my enemy now too, but why did he decide to leave?"

Kagome sighed, "He was hoping to use me to complete the Shikon jewel, and then kill me so that Kikyo may come back to life."

Miroku sighed, it was much worse then he thought, he suspected that InuYasha was going to join Kikyo but, not like this. Hiei pulled his sword out, "We just wait for him to come so that we finish it."

Kagome bit her bottom lip, but gasped when Yusuke finally spoke including his characteristic slap on the back. "Well, I was looking for a good fight."

Miroku tugged on his beads that keep the Wind Tunnel in check. "So the next time we meet it will be as enemies, InuYasha."

Kuwabara asked, "Who you talking to dude."

Miroku hit him with the staff, "It's called thinking out loud, and it wounds me to think that you think that I was suffering from some mental delusions."

Kagome thought, 'I don't know who has more issues Miroku or all the spirit detectives combined.'

Miroku took Sango's hand, "Have faith that I indeed am sound of mind, and a capable father to any children we have."

He began to stroke her bum. Sango whacked him with the Hiraikotsu. Kagome sighed, 'Miroku definitely Miroku.'

Well, was it alright for the two chapter update. I apologize for the meltdown in my confidence it's just the first time I've been flamed and it hurt but I'm back to my annoyingly perky self. So read and review. I'm reloading the chapter with a few corrections, I can't update this weekend like planned because I have scholar's day in GSU.
