Last Time in Chapter Two
Koenma had been given a variety of things to tackle. He presently sat lost in a sea of paper work trying to figure out what to do first. Orders were already given to set up a meeting with the Spirit Detective for seven o'clock. Something was bothering him. If Higurashi was supposedly human how could she cry crystal droplets? Even more troublesome was that the droplets all held immense amount of power. This…
Chapter Three: Body Guards and Restless Sleep
Light knocking sounded on the door waking him up from his musing. A female's voice waft through the door, "Koenma Sir, the boys are here to see you." The papers on his desk were lightly shoved to the side before he answered, "Let them in."
When the detectives entered the room they found a jumpy teenage prince sucking on his pacifier. "Koenma what's wrong?" Kurama asked taking time to examine Koenma.
"Yeah, usually you just send us a tape and we're on the case." Kuwabara stared worriedly at him.
Shaking his head Koenma gestured to the seats. "All of you sit down." Calming himself down he took his own seat waiting for the rest to follow his lead. "Centuries ago my father was visited by Midoriko, a great warrior priestess. She had given him orders concerning the rebirth of a soul. We were ordered to give the Shikon No Tama to that soul." He looked around the room making sure they all new the full extent of the situation.
"THE Shikon No Tama?" Kurama glanced at Koenma while he nodded his head. "How can you have it without our knowledge?"
Koenma coughed in his hand as he thought on how best to continue, "My father is the only person who knows where it is. I was told to never mention it. Now back to the problem. Botan has located the soul. The thing is she's afraid."
Koenma rubbed his temples thinking of what just happened a little while ago.
Fed up Yusuke jumped up and banged his hand against the desk. "SO!"
"Yusuke, she has a phobia of people." They all stared at him mulling over what all he just said. The unspoken question that ran through their heads was, 'How can she be afraid of people?'
Koenma carried on with speaking, "Obviously, something happened when she was living. Maybe abusive family, lover…"
Kuwabara jumped up from his seat interrupting Jr. successfully. "How can anyone beat on a girl!"
The boss's eyes shut tightly in aggravation from all the interruptions.
"Shut up all ready." Hiei had been in a dark corner doing his best not to permanently shut some people up.
Beginning where he left off Jr. explained why they were here. "We don't know for sure how she got it, but it's definitely there. Now, why all of you are here? You will be her body guards for the time being until I deem her able to take care of herself." Messaging his temples he tiredly gestured for them all to at the screen above.
All four of the detectives looked up at the screen to see lying on a bed was one of the most beautiful women that had ever seen. The only problem was that she looks as if she would break at any moment. She was unhealthily pale in complexion. Her face kept on scrunching up in what looked like horror. The mysterious woman kept warring her bottom lip between her teeth. Long lashes around her eyes kept fluttering as she gently tossed around under the cover around her. Black haired seemed to ripple around her with her movements. Botan sat at the end of the bed trying to reading a book, yet failing as her eyes kept glancing up to check on the young woman beside her.
"She woke up when I was still at Botan's. I tried to talk to her, but it seems as if she's mute. I didn't mean to scare her, but when I frowned at her it seemed as though she expected me to hit her." Jr. lost himself in the memory of Kagome terrified face flash through his mind.
Kurama shattered his train of thought as a question pushed to have an answer. "Koenma Sir are you saying that one of the most powerful jewel known is going to be given to a woman who can't protect herself. Are you sure you have the right person. From the stories only the most pure can hold it without being effected by it."
To Kurmam countless things were wrong with this. How could they just handover such power to a mere mortal? Grinding his teeth in annoyance Kurama bit his tongue as his question was answered.
"You may not believe it now or when you meet her in person. Just know that if the wrong hands were to get to her, especially the way she is now, that we would all die." Digging in his desk draw he pulled out a white velvet bag on it was one simple word 'SEALED'. Taking out a single teardrop shaped crystal all the people sat in quiet aw at the beauty and power radiating off it.
One look and golden flicks had already started seeping into Kurama's eyes.
Youko could hardly contain himself as he mentally spoke to his other half, "Such powers in one little droplet imagine if we had the spring."
Kurama wanted to outwardly roll his eyes, yet he kept tight control on his actions. He scolded Youko, "Get a hold of yourself, Youko. You don't even know how he got that."
Youko practically purred in delight as he replied, "By the looks of it though we'll know pretty soon."
The dark voice of Hiei broke through their private conversation, "You better get a hold of yourself fox."
Koenma kept his composure in the face of four annoyed or angry detectives. It was up to him to stress the importance of this new mission. He would be damned if he got his ass handed to him by his father because these fools didn't know their stuff. The young Prince cleared his throat before explaining, "Almost like an ice apparition her tears crystallize. The only difference is that hers have a hollow in the middle and that they can probably give power to anyone who possesses one." An immense power at that. How can someone like that cry power, literally? Back to rubbing his temples he leaned back on his chair.
"Protect her or risk the lives of your loved ones." Koenma closed his eyes in silent agitation knowing that it sounded wrong.
All four of them were glaring at him however only Yusuke spoke, "Are you threatening us?" The edge to his voice held dangerous promises.
"No, but if you don't do your jobs right you risk the lives of all your loved ones." Hissing back in just the same anger. "Imagine if one of your past assignments comes back and uses her against us. We don't even know the extent of her powers yet!"
Letting out all of his built up frustration he continued. "For all we know she could read minds, predict the future, and kill people by just looking at them! For kami's sake she could be the damn apocalypse in human form!" Huffing in the silently shocked room he took the seat he abandoned in his ranting. "They say 'never estimate the power of a woman', but this is just ridiculous. She's a mystery that's for sure…..
With Kagome's Dream of Memories
'Inuyasha how can you just bring her into our group with out consulting us… me.' Inuyasha turned harsh eyes to her. Beginning again but in a new direction to open his eyes, 'Are you out of it. This is the same woman that gave our shards to Naraku. This image of..'
'SHUT UP!' All of the Inu-gang took a step back from their friend as he continued to yell. 'She's joining us and that's it! She has more reason to be here than you Kagome so shut up and put up!'
'Inuyasha I swear it wasn't my fault Kikyo.." SLAP rang through the motionless forest as the Inu-gang watched their once alpha female get slapped for the first time. 'Don't bring Kikyo into this!' She tightly shut her eyes as tears pushed to be released.
Kagome was being held back by Miroku and Sango as the rest of the crew stood back watching for the finishing blow. Kouga had come and gotten to a fight with Inuyasha again, but this one wasn't going to stop since the beads had been removed long ago by Kikyo. 'Inuyasha please don't! I'm begging you!' Her cries were in vain though for in one sweep Kouga was killed along with her so called brothers.
How could they do this? He was an ally at least. Looking up at Miroku she saw the last thing she ever wanted to see, a smiling face. Sobs racked her numb body as the thoughts of her being alone finally sunk in.
Outside of Kagome's Dream
Botan sat behind Kagome having a silent panic attack as she held down the young woman the best she could. What could you be dreaming about? Whispering into the young woman's hair she made a promise to herself and the stranger. "I promise that I won't hurt you ever."
Kagome eyes shot open instantly as sobs wracked her body. Frightened of the arms that encircled her, she laid as still as she could. Noticing the difference Botan stroked the other female's hair in a loving matter hoping to calm her.
