(A/N: Okay before I begin with the fic, I found out through the DVD's that I have been writing BB's name wrong. It is now corrected and I apologize to die-hard Teen Titan's fans everywhere….)
Stalled, Start and GO!
Somewhere in a shadowed lair was a man in a dual colored mask, that looked like it was part of a Halloween display. He was viewing an extremely large view screen which was focused on Kagome being flown away by Beast Boy. Her face, throat and hands a purple color, and her lips blue.
"It appears that the young girl, Kagome, has become ill... Pity- she would have made an excellent pawn. Now she'll just be expendable, more so than the rest of the Titans…"
At the press of a button, the view switched to Robin driving at a clip that was well beyond the speed limit. Another button was pressed, and up ahead of Robin and the T-car the road exploded and Plasmus and Cinderblock roared as they erupted through the asphalt.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
Back at the tower, Raven had set up the area for Kagome. BB came rushing in, in-between cheetah and human form. He set Kagome on the bed morphing from his half-cat form to gorilla form to do so with ease.
Raven applied the nodes that would monitor Kagome's heart and brain-waves.
A quick non-invasive mental probe provided the information that Kagome and initiated Bait-and-Switch, and that she was in a semi-chaotic meditative state purposefully to provide the data they needed to pull this off.
Their communicators went off and upon opening BB's they were told that Cinderblock and Plasmus were attacking the rest of the team and that they needed help.
This was just what was needed for Robin's portion of the plan to initiate.
With a mental slide, Raven merged part of the consciousness with Robin's and left him with the information that Kagome was fine but it was time for him to get in with the plan.
After "making sure" that Kagome was "fine", Raven opened a portal and she and BB slipped through, just in time to see Robin flying at them, having been hit with a light pole and unable to dodge as in his arms was a toddler that had escaped his mother.
Raven caught Robin easily with a wave of her power. Robin handed the toddler off to Beast Boy and yelled out:
"Titans! Together!"
With the toddler ensconced in a shield of Ravens making a foot off the ground and sleeping, Raven and Beast Boy leapt/ levitated into action.
"Azarath, Metrion… Zinthos!" Raven shouted as with a wave of her soul self's power, she set the street into a rippling affect, causing Cinderblock and Plasmus to loose their balance. As soon as they were down, Beast Boy changed into a Green Grizzly bear and started swiping at Cinderblock.
Star-Fire threw her star bolts from several yards away as she was covered in the green gook from Plasmus' earlier successful efforts to slow and hamper her.
Cyborg activated his sonic cannon and seeing his opportunity, Robin threw some off his explosive marbles at the same time as an explosive bird-a-rang, which caused a massively loud explosion which threw him into the side of a building, Star-Fire to hit and topple a light-pole (but losing the Plasmus gook), and Cyborg halfway into a parked car.
Beast Boy was hanging by his stomach from the top of a billboard and Raven was protected by her soul shield, watching the destruction around her.
Robin shook his head from side to side, and yelled: "Is Everyone OK?" He walked over to Cinderblock and Plasmus, who was back in human form, sleeping, and glared at the two of them. He absently wiped the side of his head when he felt something dribble, thinking it was Plasmus gook.
Robin shook his head again, he was hearing ringing in his ears. "CYBORG!" He yelled, "Get The Police Here To Deal With Them!"
A glance behind him noted that Raven was releasing the shield she had around the toddler and Beast Boy was holding the kid to his chest as he made his way to a concerned and extremely grateful teary mother. He couldn't hear what she said, but when she pulled Beast Boy into a hug and kissed him; he watched BB turn an interesting shade of blush against his green skin, causing Robin to smirk.
A hand touched his shoulder, causing him to jump into a defensive position, he had nearly thrown the owner of the hand over his shoulder to what remained of the asphalt. It was Cyborg, who was mouthing something, but he couldn't make out what.
"What?" He once again heard nothing but ringing in his ears as he watched Cyborg's mouth move with no sound.
"CYBORG! Just Tell Me!" He demanded and saw Raven, Star-Fire and Beast Boy approach them.
Cyborg's lips moved again, causing Robin to get frustrated.
"What Is Going On?" He demanded, his gloved hands clenched into fists.
Beast Boy waved a hand to get his attention before kneeling down in the dirt and writing in the pulverized asphalt: 'Robin, we can hear you just fine- you probably just lost your hearing for a little while- that explosion was pretty nasty…'
Raven looked at Robin and focused her black glowing eyes on his ears. With a mental brush she entered his mind with his permission and informed him that his ears were bleeding and it was most likely that he had ruptured his eardrums.
Robin let out a sigh that he couldn't hear, but he could feel.
"Fine! Let's Get Back To The T-Tower, I Want To Know How Kagome's Doing…" he said trying not to yell, and succeeding only in talking very loudly.
He turned, and if anyone said anything after that, he wouldn't know. He got back on the R-cycle and put his helmet on after wiping his face with his gloved hand again, this time taking notice of the blood smear on the palm of his gloved right hand.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
Back with the man in the two-toned mask, the man was shaking his head in disappointment.
"Ah- Robin, it seems that you are not quite ready… You had been doing so well too… Had you used your head, you might have saved your hearing instead of losing it to that explosion caused by your overzealousness…" He sighed, "Chalk it up to experience young Robin; for I will yet have you for my apprentice…"
() * () * () * () * () * () *
Finally back in the sickbay were two people laying in the beds. Kagome was laying there still with a purple face, neck and hands. No one could tell how far the 'reaction' went, and none wanted to change Kagome.
Kagome in her meditative state was very glad for this. She had been mentally arguing with Kikyo who's portion of their soul was still very active. It had been a while since they had had one of their arguments; and Kikyo was telling Kagome that Robin was very cute and that she should consider dating him. Their argument had allowed Kagome to easily maintain the purple around her body. As it was she was not completely meditating, so she was aware of everything around her which was a reason her "meditative state" was semi-chaotic.
After lying in the bed for three hours, two and a half of which she had shared the room with Robin, Kagome felt the aura of Shippo/Hojo enter the room with the rest of the Teen Titans.
In her mind she grinned. Now she understood why 'Hojo' was so insistent that he date her… That and she understood why Inuyasha felt it necessary to badmouth him all the time…
She once again felt the mental probe of Raven and at her cue, she let the purple fade from her body. It was merely a buildup of her healing powers anyway, and awakened from her meditative state.
Raven paused the machines just before Kagome fully awakened from her meditative state. She was going to have Cyborg make a loop of the readings Kagome had during her three-hour 'wait period', so the could fully facilitate Kagome's new secret identity.
She spared the rest of the Teen Titans a glance before she swung her legs off the bed to tend to Robin. She placed her hands on his ears and let her healing powers take care of the injured hero's eardrums which had been ruptured.
Once she felt that his hearing had been completely returned, Kagome dropped her hands from his ears and turned to face the rest of the Teen Titans.
Star-Fire stepped forward, "Cousin Kagome, I wish to apologize…" She said, Star-Fire's face was steeped in sorrow. "I did not mean to cause you pain, but I understand if you do not wish to be my friend, any longer…"
Kagome sighed. "You called me a double-lived liar…" She took a deep breath and allowed Raven to read her as she fully faced Star-Fire, allowing her to see the pain she caused by her earlier statement. She took a deep breath to steady her emotions as sat down on the edge of the bed.
"That is most possibly the worst insult ever given me…" She said, further allowing Raven to read her seeing some of her memories. "My friends and I dealt with an enemy that was so treacherous that he took the form of either side of a couple to make them think one had betrayed the other. He was a human with such an evil coveting heart that he gave himself over to lesser demons and became a vile half-demon, truly a double-lived liar there never was…"
Raven projected some of Kagome's memories, with her mental permission of course, and they saw some of the memories, and some of the night/daymares that Kagome and her group encountered. It was a small handful, enough to see the treachery that Kagome had lived through and the evil acts at Naraku's hands that she'd been witness to.
Leaving the impressions of the memories with the rest of the Teen Titans, Raven settled the true memories of Kagome back with her.
Raven was struck with a sense of utter trust. Kagome really did have no problems accepting her, even with her demonic background. Some of the memories she'd sifted through allowed her so see Kagome befriend a rather irksome half-dog-demon with silver hair, the one from the earlier portrait she'd noted, as well as an unknown rather ugly half-demon with a heart of gold and as gentle as petals.
Raven was taken in by Beast Boy's cousin. She would not be judged by what she was rather by who she was. And that made all the difference in the world to her. She would never betray Kagome. This she swore to herself, Kagome was now an official part of the team and someone that Raven knew she could trust with her past and her fears.
A smile lit Raven's face before it was muted and toned down to mere quirking of the corners of her lips. Only Robin noticed and smiled in ease.
"I once again offer my most sincere apologies cousin Kagome. I cannot believe what I insinuated…"Star-Fire once again re-iterated.
"Yeah-yeah… sorrow and sincerity and all that… The Miko shall be in the House!" Shippo said as he entered the room.
"Shippo, you have all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop…"
"He won't make Mr. Sensitivity all right…" Robin stated emphatically as Shippo relentlessly destroyed the somber mood in the room.
"Good." Shippo nodded in supremacy.
"He's as in touch with his feelings as I am with my sixth toe!" Cyborg said jokingly to Beast Boy.
"Dude- you don't have toes…" Beast Boy said looking at Cyborg oddly.
"Exactly! And even when I did- I had only five on each foot… Same as the rest of us…"
Raven rolled her eyes… "Pinheads…" She muttered, causing Kagome to laugh at the absurdity of the comment.
Kagome plucked a few strands of hair from her head, and handed them to Shippo who carried with him a small doll who looked like a very miniature Kagome. After twining the hair around the doll a few times, Shippo applied one of his transformation leaves to it, and stared in dissatisfaction when it did nothing. After removing the leaf for the fifth time, he switched leaves and the same result was noted.
"What the hell?" He demanded as once again, the transformation failed. "What isn't working?"
Kagome shrugged as she sat on the edge of the bed… "Looks like this could be a while… Why don't you guys play cards or something while we try to get this figured out…?" Kagome suggested.
The Teen Titans walked out of the room, but not before Kagome reminded Robin to wear the language converters. He must have rolled his eyes behind his mask because Kagome was 'this-close' to pounding him on the head. It was clear to her that she'd been around Inuyasha way too long. But he did as she reminded him, and followed his team back out and into the multi-purpose room.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
Three hours later, Kagome joined them. Flopping next to Robin on the couch dumping her head in his lap.
"I have a headache that could topple Mt. Hakurei…" She moaned
"Huh?" Robin questioned her, pausing his game and setting his game controller down to look Kagome in the eyes.
Kagome explained: '"Mount Hakurei; was once a sacred mountain of absolute purity and divinity. Beautiful flowers skimmed the surface, from the earth to the mountain formation itself, it was a place where no demon dared to enter…"'
(A/N: Information was copied from Wikipedia… Though I changed the wording a little to make it make more sense from Kagome's standpoint… I DO NOT OWN WIKIPEDIA!)
"So why the headache?" Cyborg asked as he picked up the game controller, it was his turn now, the timer just went off. It stopped most of the fights between he, Robin and Beast Boy now, at least…
Kagome glared at him upside down in Robin's lap. "I ain't gonna tell ya!" Kagome declared, getting the bad grammar down pat. 'Thank you Inuyasha…' Kagome thought sarcastically.
Kagome then covered her eyes with her forearm. "Ugh- emotionally whacked foxes…" She muttered.
Only Robin heard her and grinned, before whispering back: "Now you know how I feel- I worked for a guy that would make your fox a sublime example of happiness…"
"That bad?" Kagome asked, pulling her arm from one eye.
The look on his face was all the answer she needed.
"So- no luck?" Beast Boy asked as he leaned over the back of the sofa.
"Shippo forgot that my abilities and his do not mix. So he has to figure out a different way to get the illusion to work…"
"Why not use a hologram?" Cyborg asked as he set the timer.
"Would a hologram be able to physical in almost every way?"
At his head shaking, Kagome gave him an upside-down 'see?' look.
"So in the mean while- I get the play the basic D.I.D…."
At the Teen Titans' blank looks Kagome filled them in, "D.I.D. …Damsel in Distress…" she said tilting her head on Robin's lap before sitting up and stretching. "Ugh-", She then turned to face the rest of the team. "I'll make dinner…" She said.
"But can you cook?" Robin questioned her.
"I can nuke anything!" Kagome teased them with a grin, so they wouldn't take her seriously with that joke. Luckily she got the vernacularism right.
"Funny…" Raven said. "Did you take lessons from Garfield?" she asked as she held up the comics featuring an orange and black striped fat cat eating 'micro-waved lasagna'.
Kagome let the subject drop for the sake of her cousins sanity as she decided to make her favorite meal, Udon.
Less than an hour later, the meal was ready and she sat the bowls, chopsticks and spoons on the dining table to serve her new friends. To give the meal more substance, she also made white rice with a mild curry and a few of the vegetables in the mini-fridge that were on the start of the road to mummification, but Kagome had saved what she could of them- which turned out only to be the crook neck squash and zucchini as well as some frozen chicken…
Beast Boy looked over her shoulder at times, and knew that she was fixing a traditional Japanese meal, and so didn't mention that he was a vegetarian, the Japanese used little meat, and what they did use was mainly fish. Beast Boy decided that he could pick out the chicken from the curry, but the tempura was smelling way too good, so he decided to try it once and if he didn't like it, he never had to try it again… Even then, trying something once, even something that he changed into was a very disturbing thought.
Star-Fire was still leery of approaching Beast Boy's cousin, but she did so because her curiosity could not be abated.
"Please, what is it you are making?"
"Some traditional Udon and some untraditional curry… I figured with three guys in the group that a simple soup wouldn't sustain them…"
Star-Fire nodded in understanding. She could not understand how three boys could eat so much… But then again on her planet, if you did not eat fast enough you did not get enough to eat, could they be worrying about hunger?
At Star-Fire's questioning look, Kagome understood it and decided to answer it. "Boys eat a lot because from age fourteen to twenty-five they grow an average of fifteen centimeters and a maximum of thirty centimeters…" (A/N: In Japan they use the metric system and measure height in centimeters… Interesting little side fact huh? Basically boys grow anywhere from six inches to a foot taller from age 14 to 25.)
"They do?" Star-Fire questioned, envisioning Robin and Beast Boy around six feet tall, the result was a stretched version of how they looked currently and he eyes widened in horror. "How can we stop their growth? Should we put weights on their heads to push them down or-"
Raven stopped Star-Fire's onslaught. "You can't; their bodies gain mass as they gain height… So there isn't need to fear…"
Star-Fire nodded. And turned back to Kagome as she watched her stir the curry again. "Please, am I forgiven? I did not mean to anger you, I merely wished to clarify what had been said…"
"Yes… I forgive you." Kagome said smiling at Star-Fire letting her know that she felt no ill will towards her gaffe. She turned her head toward the TV where Robin and Cyborg were wrestling over the remote. "The soup is on! Anyone who doesn't get here in the next twenty seconds, doesn't get any dinner!"
That stopped the wrestling match as both blasted towards the dining table and slammed into their seats. Kagome had Star-Fire carry the Udon soup pot as she carried to the set table the rice and curry. Within minutes the members of the Teen Titans were wolfing down the dinner Kagome had so thoughtfully made and in-between helpings were admiring her ability to cook. In the end there were no leftovers and Beast Boy had forgotten about the fact that there was fish in the Udon soup.
Insisting on doing the dishes as Kagome had made dinner, the Teen Titans cleaned up as Kagome sat down to an old movie: "Court Jester".
Once the dishes were finished and the table was cleared, Star-Fire brought out "the unhealthy sugar candies and buttery salted corn of the popped nature" and the rest of the Teen Titans joined in watching antics of the main character "Hawkins" as played by "Danny Kaye".
The evening was a success and they turned in to bed with smiles on their faces, understanding Kagome better in more ways now than they did this morning. However, instead of Kagome heading to her allocated guest bedroom, she returned to the sick-bay where she climbed under the covers after replacing the nodes and closed her eyes where she once again was pressured by Kikyo to 'get with' "that sexy, mysterious teen leader". 'Who knew that Kikyo was a romanticist at heart?' Kagome thought as she once again pulled her healing powers just underneath her skin giving it 'that purple' look; the powers helped with the headache Kikyo was benefiting her with.
Robin had followed her back to sickbay and laid on his bed and pulled the sheet up.
"Thanks for dinner Kagome…" He said quietly.
"It was fun," Kagome said. "I missed having a group of people to cook for…"
"Yeah-" Robin said closing his eyes. "Night Kagome…."
"Good night Robin." Kagome returned as she allowed her eyes to close and she started to drift off.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
Kagome woke up the next morning with a groan. Someone was poking her repeatedly in the cheek. She waved her hand for a few seconds to get the poking to stop before trying to return to her regularly scheduled slumber.
It didn't work and the poking continued. Finally giving up on returning to sleep, she sat up blearily and groaned. She had the headache that would have caused Vesuvius to re-erupt.
"W-hut?" She asked around a yawn.
"Are you up yet?" And she ended up looking Shippo right in the eyes; causing her to shriek.
"I'm Up!" Robin shouted as he too jerked awake.
Kagome stared at him with wide eyes and he returned the favor looking at each other's hair.
Robin's hair looked like he was ready for a civilian formal event, being that a single layer of hair encircling his head stood straight out while the rest was slicked to his head with his bangs curled at the corners of his forehead.
Kagome's hair was smoothed out as well the majority of her long black tresses tucked delicately behind her ear and curled over one eye- but her two dragon tails looked like someone had stuck a cat's tail in an electric socket.
Between the two of them they looked like society darlings that got ambushed by evil hair stylists.
Kagome bit her lip to try to stop snickering, but that didn't stop Robin. Within seconds the room exploded with laughter.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
For the meantime until they could get the issue of needing a Kagome-Double settled; Kagome was stuck in the T-tower. Staying away from all large windows. Needless to say, she was getting bored.
That day, as she'd gotten the information from Cyborg, or a summary of the events of the fight that they had when the team came up against Dr. Light, a super-villain that used 'light' in almost every comeback. But he had been taken too far when Raven had 'snapped'. After the fight however, Raven had fled the scene and no one saw her until breakfast the next morning.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
"'Rise and shine, amigos. Breakfast is served."' Beast Boy said as he brought a steaming pan of what would be their breakfast to the table.
"'Thanks Beast Boy, everything looks great."' Robin said with a smile on his face.
Kagome merely glanced at the pan that was in front of she Star-Fire and Robin with a questioning look on her face which clearly stated 'This is Breakfast?'
'"On my planet, such a feast would mark the arrangement of a marriage. Tell me, Beast Boy, to whom are you engaged?"' Star-Fire asked. Robin looked at Star-Fore with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. Needless to say BB freaked out and caused Kagome to laugh hysterically at his reaction.
Cyborg was ignoring the action in favor of stuffing his face with breakfast. He burped, and with a breath realized what he had been eating and spit it out. '"That's not eggs! That's that tofu stuff!" To get the taste out of his mouth he guzzled his drink and with an even more disgusted expression, spit that out too stating: '"That's not even real milk!"'
BB crossed his arms in a 'I'm not going to let it bother me, but it really does' pose; and Raven walked into the room heading for her teacup on the counter.
'"Hey Raven, want breakfast?"' Robin asked, nothing on his plate. Star-Fire was chewing, her cheeks stuffed like a chipmunks.
'"It's good. Wakey, wakey, tofu eggs and bakey."' Beast Boy tried to cajole her as she poured her tea. Kagome looked at Robin questioningly; she didn't understand the saying. Robin gave her a look across Star-Fire that said: 'I'll explain later.'
'"Herbal Tea."' Raven said, ignoring BB for the most part. Which brought Kagome's attention back to Raven and her cousin.
'"Come on, just one little taste. You could use a little food after the way you cooked Dr. Light."' BB said not noticing Raven's annoyance or the way her shoulders shook with suppressed rage. Kagome did though, having shown several of those signs when she was traveling with their group, when she traveled to, and in the past.
'"No!"' Raven shouted her eyes red with rage. BB freaked out, and the eggs in the platter in his hands exploded with the use of Raven's powers. Cyborg and Star-Fire shot up in concern.
Raven then left the room, the automatic doors closing behind her.
"Huh- They bounce…" Kagome muttered as she cocked her head sideways to watch the falling tofu eggs hit the ground several times.
'"Maybe you should go apologize.'" Robin stated, his hands on his belt looking at the doors.
Kagome took a taste of the eggs, and slid her plate away. No wonder Raven didn't want to eat. These things were gross. (A/N: No offense meant or intended to those who eat tofu eggs!)
'"Me? I'm not the one who just turned breakfast into a battlefield."' Beast Boy said indignant.
Cyborg walked past the two of them to the sink to wash his dishes. '"Yeah, but after the weirdness last night. You should know better than to mess with her."'
'"I was trying to be nice, but no matter how hard I try, she still treats me like tofu eggs!"' Garfield said in a very Inuyasha-y way. But without the swearing. '"You know she's never once laughed at one of my jokes?"' He demanded of the rest of them.
Kagome merely raised her eyebrows as she too grabbed a cup and poured herself a cup of tea. Anything to get the taste of tofu eggs out of her mouth.
'"At least she listens. I just kind of tune you out."' Cyborg said causing Beastboy's emotions to get more thunderous.
'"Raven is… complicated"' Star-Fire tried to explain. '"There is much about her we are not meant to understand."' Robin looked at Beast Boy disapprovingly.
'"Then how are we supposed to deal with her?"' Beast Boy demanded. "How can we even trust her? I mean-"'
'"She's our friend."' Robin said. '"What more do we need to know?"' He asked Beast Boy.
BB gave him a whatever look and raised his eyebrow at Kagome in askance.
"BB; just apologize to her…" Kagome said exasperated. "Friends have their ups and downs… It's a part of friendship. She's not shutting you out to be mean…" She said; "She could be shutting you out to protect you… Friends do, do that sometimes…" She said as she walked up the stairs and left the multi-purpose room. "Trust me, I know."
And with that said the doors closed behind her.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
Kagome sensed a great internal battle, so she left sickbay after putting her letter away and headed towards where she felt the battle taking place.
When she got to where she felt the battle was taking place, she felt a sense of friendship and closer bonds. She was almost in front of Raven's room.
'"Please, let us simply-"' Star-Fire stated as she raised a fist to knock at the door. Robin was straining to hold her back. Kagome held back a giggle. She had been lucky, with Shippo, all she had had to do was to bribe him with candy to make him do what she wanted.
'"Raven asked us not to disturb her!"' Robin said a foot planted against the door and was pulling with all his might against Star-Fire's alien strength.
'"She could be weeping and-"' Star-Fire tried to explain her concern for her friend.
'"I don't want to bother her!"' Robin said pulling her fist back from the door by only an inch.
'"But if we merely…" Star-Fire said looking back at Robin, when the door opened.
Kagome was standing behind them and was snickering quietly when Star-Fire jerked her hand back from the door and Robin was forced by his own momentum to crash into Kagome bringing them both to the floor, Robin on top of Kagome.
In the doorway to Raven's room were Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg. Who were all looking at then questioningly.
Flushing momentarily, Robin stood up and helped Kagome up as well, before turning to the others and asking. '"Where have you guys been?"'
'"Just getting to know each other."' Cyborg said sharing a smile with Beast Boy and Raven
'"Come friends…" Star-Fire said a look of joy on her face, "we shall prepare a new breakfast feast."'
'"It's a little late for breakfast, Star."' Beast Boy said with a hand behind his head. He turned to Raven and smiled at her slightly. '"Maybe just some herbal tea."'
'"Actually Breakfast sounds… nice."' Raven said blushing slightly.
'"Okay! Breakfast for Dinner coming up!"' Beast Boy grinned and took off down the hall.
'"Oh, no, I'm cooking this time- We're having real eggs!"' Cyborg declared as he ran after Beast Boy.
Kagome laughed as she, Robin, Star-Fire and Raven followed the two senior members of the Teen Titans.
() * () * () * () * () * () *
When they got to the multipurpose room, she and Raven were tweaking and pulling each other's powers.
Raven could not believe that Kagome whose powers were based on purity, could and would easily tease her and pull strands of her powers, her with her demonic parentage.
Kagome as she tweaked Raven's powers was able to form an energy portrait of the two of them.
"Wow Kagome-" Shippo said interrupting her. "Didn't you want my help?" He was being extremely sarcastic. But then again he was wearing the same clothes as he was yesterday and he had an aggravated look on his face.
"Sorry…" She said muting her laughter. The energy portrait dissipated immediately, but with a 'whoosh' literally.
"Yeah- I know… First time failed and third times the charm and all that English cliché jazz… But I have some good news for you! I have discovered the way to circumvent having our powers short each other out!"
"Yay…?" Kagome said tilted her head to the side. Using her powers, Raven tilted Kagome's head to the other side.
With a giggle, Star-Fire tilted Kagome's head back to the upright position.
"Yes! Now as I am so brilliant-I would like some hair…" Without asking he plucked some from her head, to which she let out a yelp and rub her "scalped" scalp.
He applied some of his power, a blue type of fire; and after a minute of coating the wooden doll with his power, he set it down on the bed.
"Alright Kagome- if you would apply your power to it, just let to meld with my power- don't let them mix. Got it?" Shippo cautioned her. Kagome just nodded in response and loosed some of her power.
The doll idea was something that was obviously taken from Naraku's sabotage and threats. But unlike a shikigami, the doll would not be as easily subservient. It would reflect Kagome's ideas and how she acted. It would respond to me when Kagome used her powers and between Shippo and I since we both used our powers to create the doll-illusion, we would both have the ability to fix the abilities of the doll-illusion.
With some concentration, the doll illusion initialized and revealed an ill-version of Kagome with pallid skin with gray green overtones and with deep dark circles under her eyes.
And it said coughing: "It is okay guys… Go on without me."
"It's official." Kagome stated with a grin plastered across her face; "We are Go!"
