lostmoonchild: Damn, I think I just hit my personal best. Two stories posted and one story updated. Well, anyway, thanks to everybody who left a review! I don't own Inuyasha, YYH, or any of the songs that may appear unless I say otherwise. The characters who aren't part of YYH or Inuyasha are mine so dont' sue!

CHAPTER FOUR

"Morning, everybody!" Kagome greeted with a smile the next morning.

"You're up early, Lady Kagome." Miroku said looking surprised.

Kagome smiled and said, "Woke up around the time the sun rose and had a hard time getting back to sleep."

Shippo smiled sleepily at his foster mother and started eating hungrily when she gave him some food. "Hey, bitch, what's the deal?" Inuyasha asked taking some food.

"Maybe I feel like cooking today." Kagome said innocently.

"You haven't yelled at me yet for calling you bitch." Inuyasha said calmly looking at the young miko. "Now what are you planning?"

Kagome sighed and said, "Inuyasha, I've got a fight today."

Inuyasha growled and said, "You're not fighting."

"Inuyasha, you've never seen me fight."
"Last time I let you fight you almost got killed!"

"Last time I wasn't used to the idea of falling back in time five hundred years!" Kagome shouted.

"There is no way in hell!" Inuyasha shouted back.

"SIT!"

Inuyasha crashed onto the ground and growled into the dirt. "Lady Kagome, I have to agree with Inuyasha." Miroku said. "You don't appear to be the fighting type."

"Not everybody looks like the fighting type. Look at my cousin's teacher. She's a literal old hag and is still fighting."

Inuyasha glared at Kagome and saw truth in her eyes. "Feh." Inuyasha snorted when the spell wore off. "If I let you fight, then you have to back off if you're about to get killed."

Kagome smiled happily and tackled Inuyasha, hugging him as tight as she could. "Don't worry, Inuyasha." Kagome said with a pleased smile.

After they had all eaten and packed everything up, they were on their way to Naraku's castle when Kagome stopped suddenly. "Kagome-chan, what's wrong?" Sango asked looking confused.

"It feels like him… but it can't be." Kagome whispered before starting to run ahead.

They chased after Kagome and stopped when they saw her fighting against a demon and a boy was unconscious. "I know that scent." Inuyasha said rushing over to the unconscious boy. "Hey, kid, wake up!"
"SPIRIT ARROW!" Kagome screamed right before the demon she was fighting screamed in agony as he was purified. When the demon was a pile of ashes she rushed over to the boy and shook him a little. "Souta, wake up!"

Souta groaned and opened one eye. "Five more minutes, mom?" Souta asked looking at her completely unfocused.

"Call me 'mom' one more time, brat, and you'll find yourself hanging upside down in the well." Kagome threatened hugging her brother.

"Kagome? Where's the demon?" Souta asked looking confused. "Where am I? Where's the city? Where's everything!"

"He'll be alright.' Kagome said unable to keep a grin off of her face. "Welcome to the Feudal Era, a home away from home."

"Mom's gonna kill you."

"Nuh uh." Kagome said standing up before pulling her brother up onto his feet. "Now what happened?"

Souta scratched the side of his head before saying, "I was at school playing soccer and thinking of that hot blue haired chick that Yusuke hangs around, wondering how something so fine could stand something so dumb, when I saw one of the Spirit Detectives. I didn't think much of it until he told the soccer coach that I had to leave… urgent matters, I think. So he took me away from practice."

"Well, that'd explain a couple things." Kagome said calmly before slapping her brother upside the head. "You didn't think to make sure that he was a Spirit Detective! We've already had enough 'deaths' in the family in the past four years, lets not make there being a fourth death."

'first two were Yusuke." Souta said rubbing his sore head. "Third was you but that didn't count since it was three minutes."

"What happened next?" Kagome asked with a frown.

Souta closed his eyes tightly and said, "Well, he took me to get ice cream, chocolate with vanilla fudge over it and blue sprinkles, then took me to an alley saying that I'd be safer in the Reikai until it was over with. I asked what and he was saying that he couldn't tell me since it was classified information."

"That's when you rub dad's rank in his face." Kagome answered.

"I did. Then he slaps me and next thing I know, I'm waking up to your face."

"Better waking up to my face than waking up as somebody's food." Kagome answered. "Did the demon give you a name?"

"Nope. But I did see a spider scar on his back."

"Damn it! Naraku's still alive in your era?" Inuyasha asked looking at the young miko.

Kagome sighed and said, "I don't know. I'm forbidden to go near ANYBODY who's been alive for more than five hundred years and has had anything to do with the Shikon no Tama."

"That's never stopped you before." Souta said innocently. "Remember just last month Yusuke was pissed off because you went to see some guy?"

"That 'some guy' was an old friend…. Literally."

"Hah! That's not what Yusuke was saying."

"You'd believe a dead man walking over me?"

"Um… He has a hot assistant.." Souta said before he saw Sango. "But you've got an even hotter friend so I'll believe you."

Kagome slapped Souta on the head again before looking at her friends. "You'll all have to excuse my idiot brother, he's turning into a bit of a pervert." Kagome said looking sorry. "This is my brother, Souta. Twerp, these are my friends."

Souta grinned up at Inuyasha before looking startled when Shippo jumped on Souta's shoulder. "Hi!" Shippo said innocently.

"Wait until mom finds out." Souta said with a grin.

"Tell mama and I'm sending you to Genkai's to train for a year." Kagome threatened as they started walking.

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Souta shouted glaring at Kagome.

"Think I'm having a heart attack." Kagome said sarcastically.

Souta rolled his eyes and muttered, "Its no wonder people figure out immediately that we're related to Yusuke."

"Hey, be proud." Kagome said grinning. "Not many people can take a demon down with just their skull."

Souta rolled his eyes again and kept walking. "You're brother's a charmer." Sango said looking at Souta.

"He's just in a bad mood because I'm keeping an eye on him." Kagome said with a grin. "Being a pervert kinda runs in the family so all the girls have to keep an eye on the guys."

"You don't keep an eye on Yusuke!" Souta objected.

"Sure I do. Keiko acts as my eyes when it comes to Yusuke then whenever I'm home, I give Keiko a break and keep an eye on Yusuke." Kagome answered starting to laugh a little. "Just like the women and soon to be brides of the perverts in our family have done for centuries."

"Yeah right." Souta said.

"Just you wait, kid, your time is coming." Kagome said laughing. "Why do you think auntie Atsuko isn't married."

"Because she's a drunk and fell in love with a demon who slept with her and left her alone with a bastard child." Souta answered. "Which is why she keeps giving you a lecture why you don't get into romantic relationships with anything that has demon blood and a dick."

Kagome shrugged and whispered softly in Souta's ear, "Unfortunately for her, I don't listen. Those who have demon blood and a penis are excellent in bed."

"GROSS!" Souta shouted pushing away from Kagome.

Kagome cracked up laughing and said, "Welcome to the facts of life."

The group looked at the two siblings confused but shrugged it off, assuming that it was a future thing. Suddenly they heard an explosion in the distance and the Higurashi siblings looked at each other knowingly before running in the direction of the blast. "YUSUKE!" Kagome screamed as loud as she could.
