Chapter 9: A Visit From Saiyuki

The Kage-tachi were currently working at a small ramen booth for money. Right now; Sango was the chef, Kikyo was the manager, Ayame was the maintenance person, and Kagome, much to her dismay, was the cashier.It was about around 2:31 in the afternoon and so far they had made well over 10,000 dollars. It was obviously not because of the ramen... but because of the adorably, innocent 18 year old cashier.

Ayame had cut her finger and hissed as she blew and sucked on it. She mumbled something about 'rather be with Hakkai' and things like that. A mischievious smile tugged on Kagome's lips.

"Huh? You say Hakkai is what now?"

"Nothing!"

"Really? Well you were just talking about how you'd rather be with Hakkai than with us... is that right?"

"Yes! But that's because I'm getting sick of you guys." That didn't come out right... or did it?

What? Doesn't she love us? "Well like I wanna look at another girl's face all day!"

"W-... You're the one who had your mind in the trash while we were cleaning up that room!"

Flash Back

A very bored Kagome, who was busy scrubbing the floor with Goku, tilted her head to the side in curiousity. Her dear friend Ayame was blushing and staring at a certain someone's ass. They were half way across the room but she could have swore she heard the words, 'cute ass' pass from the wolf demon's lips.

"AYA-CHAN YOU'RE A PERVERT!"

Ayame blinked and blushed slightly. She explained," Kage-chan... I said that's a cute ass duster..."

Kagome laughed and back away slowly as she saw an extremely cute pink duster in Hakkai's back pocket.

End Flash Back

"You gave me a reason to think that... I've seen how spaced out you become when he talks to you."

Sango decided to join in on the conversation," well Kage-chan, you're the one that got all blushy when Goku-kun held your hand..."

Kagome growled. Great... Sango's against me! Her eyes darkened as her friends began to remember. No, NO! NO FLASHBACK! OH DAMN!

Flash Back

Kagome continously let out 'ows' as she scrubbed the floor with Goku. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in the wrist she used to block Goku's nyoi-bo. She let out an 'eek' in surprise and dropped her scrub brush! The 'monkey king' came to her aid and gently grabbed her hand asking, " are you okay?"

Kagome blushed and nodded swiftly. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two.

"Um.. can you... leggo now?" Kagome said. But thought 'Oh my god he's so cute!'

End Flash Back

"YOU-WHO!"

The Kage-tachi jumped in surprise as Saiyuki appeared sitting on the counter top next to the cash register. Kagome smiled," Hi Saiyuki-sama! Where have you been? Why are you appearing now?"

Saiyuki placed a small finger on Kagome's lips to shut her up. She took a deep breath," First things first. Hello again everyone, I see you're all looking well. I've been watching over you silently... I see you've developed feelings for the Sanzo-ikkou." She winked at them. A look of sadness came over her face.

"Anyway, why are you here, and why are you looking so sad." Kikyo repeated Kagome's question.

"Okay...I have some information for you-"

"JUST TELL US" Kagome, Ayame, and Sango chorused eargly.

"Well, Naraku lives..."

All of their eyes darkened instantly. Saiyuki apologized," I'm sorry girls but it's the truth... a couple of days ago I saw a dark figure trailing you and I trailed him and found out it was Naraku. Without the Shikon no Tama he was barely passes as a threat. But be on your guard Kage-chan, he'll be targeting you! And as for the rest of you... be careful of who you trust and love. Remember your duty!" They nodded without a word. "Now there is one more thing I would like to tell you." the look of sorrow on her face became more prominent. The Kage-tachi frowned. "I can't be your guide anymore." she said.

Kagome clenched her fist as she saw Ayame tremble. Oh Ayame... I'm scared too. "What do you mean. You cant just tell us that Naraku lives and then say you wont help us anymore." Kagome yelled and her voice was raised because of the imminant stress of worrying about the threat of Naraku.

"I will be helping. Just not as directly as before. These two will be your guides in my stead." Saiyuki said. As soon as the words left her mouth the direction of the wind changed and heat the made them break out in a sweat. From nowhere appeared a young man with red hair and eyes like flames. He had dark skin and wore an express that showed no interest at all. Then it started to rain and the wind got colder. Again from nowhere appeared a girl with dark blue hair and light blue eyes. She too had had dark skin but she had expression that showed she was peppy.

"This is LunarAiko!" Saiyuki announced pointing to the girl. "And this is C.H. don't ask what it means only one other person knows what it means and that is LunarAiko." she explained.

"Pleased to meet you!" LunarAiko bellowed jumping up and down. "And you can call me Aiko! That's my brother!" Kagome though that she was sort of a little too happy but decided she was an okay person.

"Hi there!" Ayame said to C.H.

"I'm going to devour your soul." he muttered darkly. She cringed and backed away slowly. That guy gave her the creeps.

"Don't worry about him. He does that to everyone, he doesnt mean it." Aiko chimed.

"Well we have to leave you guys for a while but they'll be back." Saiyuki said they began to disipate.

Flash Back

A 15 year old priestess watched in horror as Naraku threw a deadly tentacle at her friend... Inuyasha. He besides her was the only one alive. The dog demon dodged it easily and lifted his Tetsuiga into the air and brought it back down to the ground.

"Wind Scar!"

A dark purple barrier gathered around the evil hanyou in time to protect him. Kagome let of her bow's string and let an arrow fly," that barrier's goin down!" The sacred-arrow slowly pierced through and the barrier collasped.

"DO IT NOW INUYASHA!"

"I'm on it! Backlash Wa-"

The life in Inuyasha's eyes faded away as Naraku's tentacle went through him... just like Kagome's other friends. Kagome screamed and ran to his side and checked his pulse... but it was too late. She sniffed and her vision became blurry as tears welled up in her eyes. Next to Inuyash's corpse was Kikyo's bow and a quiver of arrows.

I-I couldn't save him...

She swallowed spit as Naraku chuckled evilly. She growled and picked up the bow.

I couldn't save anyone...

She grew self-conscious as Naraku allowed her to ready an arrow and aim at him.

They're all dead...

A pale blue light surrounded her and slowly poured into the arrow.

"Kagome I want you to be my real sister."

That's Sango's voice...

"You can do it Kagome!"

Shippo and Miroku too...

"Keh, do what you have to do."

Inuyasha...

Kagome shook her head and rid herself of the voice. "DIE NARAKU" she let the arrow fly. Her eyes widened as it easily went through Naraku's barrier and purified him.

"How could a mere... imitation of Kikyo... defeat me?"

Kagome dropped to the ground panting heavily and began sobbing. Suddenly the Shikon jewel appeared hovering in mid-air in front of her very own face. It dropped down in front of her and she grabbed immediately... thus purifying it instantly!

I defeated Naraku, but what does that matter my friends are dead.

The young girl watched in awe as a blinding white light swept across the bloody battle field. Slowly Sango rose and so did Ayame and Kikyo. Their pale faces returned to its normal color and their wounds healed. A small, gentle voice from no where said," I still need girls... now sleep." Instantly they all collasped.

End Flash Back

Kagome wiped away tears and said," that was Saiyuki-sama!" Ayame nodded as she stopped trembling.

"So Saiyuki brought us back to life and then sent us on this trial."

"Yes, but how could Naraku still live Kage-chan purified him."

"Maybe... Saiyuki accidently brought him back too and he managed to get to Shangrila as well."

"Hn..." Kikyo went into deep thought.

"Well now to pass the trial AND live we have to find a way home AND kill Naraku again." Little did they know there were eyes watching them both friends and foes.
