Chapter 5: Demons?
"That was close." Yusuke said, a little out of breathe, when the group came to a stop a couple of blocks away from the train station.
"You…could…say…that…again," Kuwabara panted out before he fainted.
"I'm sorry," Kagome said, feeling a little guilty for having caused them to have to rush like that. "She didn't mean to attract so much attention. Right Sango." She said as she elbowed Sango lightly in the ribs.
"Yes, I am very sorry." she said sincerely toward Yusuke. She turned toward Hiei and Kurama, her sincere face went cold, and she started glaring at them. 'What is Kagome's cousin doing with demons?' she asked herself. 'I thought that there were no demons in this time. I need to talk to Kagome about this.' She looked out the corner of her eye at Kagome and saw her ever present smile but her eyes were slightly unfocused, as though she were thinking.
While Sango was trying to figure out the answers to her questions her felt someone trying to get in to her head. Being a demon slayer, her father taught her about mind reading demons and how dangerous they could be. He taught her how to notice if they are invading her mind. He also taught her how to put up defenses and to block the eye of nosy demons. And that exactly what she did. She increased her defenses and glared toward the spiky haired demon with even more heat. She saw a slight look of shock and anger pass his eyes before it was replaced with a cold glare.
'SHE BLOCKED ME! That's the second time today that my Jagan has been blocked by a human. A human WOMAN at that!' Hiei thought as he increased his glare on Sango, but she didn't cower away like most humans would. Instead, she increased her glare to match his. 'She doesn't know what she's getting herself into' he thought smugly as he reached his hand toward his sword underneath his cape. 'I'll just kill that annoying bitch and get it over with.'
Before he could get the chance, Kurama spoke.
"I don't believe we've been properly introduced. This is Hiei and my names Shuichi Minamino, but you can call me Kurama." Kurama said, trying to break the tension he felt between the groups, as he extended his hand.
Sango took her glare away for Hiei and rested it on Kurama. She looked down at his hand as if it was a poisonous. Then looked back up at his face to see him giving her a warm smile. She increased her glare on him then turned on her heel and walked away.
"Uh stay here for a sec I'll be right back." Kagome said as she ran to catch up with Sango. Shippo looked after her retreating form then back to the three sets of eyes, since the fourth one was still unconscious, that were on him.
"Umm I better go help Kagome." He said nervously as her ran off after them.
"Why is your cousin have a demon with her, detective?" Hiei asked once they were out of hearing range. Since he couldn't get into their minds he'd have to figure things out the old fashion way, asking.
"I dunno, I was wondering that myself." Yusuke said seriously as he looked in the direction they had went. "And what was up with her friend? I don't think I have seen anybody that didn't fall victim to your 'charming' ways Kurama or a girl who could kick butt like that." He continued as he got a thoughtful look. "Besides grandma that is" he mumbled afterwards.
"I don't know Yusuke." Kurama said thoughtfully. "Did you find anything with your Jagan Hiei?" He questioned looking toward the silent Hiei.
"No, they repelled me." He stated coolly but on the inside, he was furious.
"THEY WHAT!" Yusuke exclaimed, as his jaw fell open in surprise. Hiei just glared at him in response.
"There is something odd about your cousin and her friend." Kurama stated thoughtfully.
"Yea Urameshi, they feel weird." Kuwabara stated from the ground, were he had just woken up.
"What are you talking about?" Yusuke asked.
"Your cousin's friend has a lot of sadness around her, and I don't mean just a little either, her whole aura is sad. Your cousin feels like my spirit energy but more pure and a little different." He said as he had his hand on his chin like he was thinking. Everyone looked at him in shock.
"Hm. The monkey actually said something useful for once." He stated coolly.
"I'm not a monkey, shrimp." Kuwabara retorted, as he got up in Hiei's face.
- With the girls at the same time -
"Sango, wait up!" Kagome yelled as she ran after her. "What was that all about?" she asked as she caught up with her.
"Their demons Kagome," she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I thought that there were no demons in this time. What if they're dangerous? What if they want the jewel?"
"I know they're demons," She said simple "but if my cousin brought us around them then they must not be harmful. He would never put me or any other innocent person in danger intentionally." She reasoned.
"Yea but the spiky haired one tried to get into my mind. If they were friendly then they wouldn't try to pry." She whispered urgently.
"I know he tried the same thing in the train station. We'll just have to make sure we keep our guard up and just cause they pry doesn't mean their bad, just nosy." She said back with a smile. "Now come on lets go back before they come for us. Knowing Yusuke if I'm gone for too long he'll send a search party." She laughed and started walking away.
"Ok Kagome I trust you." Sango said as she came up beside her, but she wasn't entirely certain. "But if they try anything, they're gone." She added and made a slicing motion with her hand over her neck. They both burst out laughing as they came to the boys to see Kuwabara and Hiei arguing. Kurama was trying to break them up and Yusuke was leaning against a nearby fence with an amused look on his face. Kagome cleared her throat to get their attention.
"Did we miss something?" she asked amused.
"Nothing at all, their always like this." Kurama answered as he gave up trying to get them to stop.
Kagome looked over to Sango and jabbed her head in the direction of the boys. Sango sighed and walked over to the group.
"I apologize for my earlier behavior." She said through clenched teeth, bowing slightly.
"It's no problem at all...Sango was it." Kurama said with a smile.
"Ok well now that all the intros are done and over with lets get to my house, these bags are getting heavy." Yusuke said as he adjusted the bags in his hands.
"That a good idea lets go." Kagome said as she walked off with Sango and Shippo.
"She's here for half an hour and she thinks she can lead and boss me around." Yusuke mumbled as he started walking behind them. The rest of the boys picked up their bags that had been forgotten for the time being, and started after him.
- Feudal Era -
"KIRARA, BRING ME ANOTHER FRUIT!" Inuyasha yelled from in Kaede hut. After the girls had left and he found out that Shippo went with them. Inuyasha got furious and went to pick a fight with a random demon. Lucky for him he found one. Unlucky for him he found Sesshoumaru. Lets just say he can't even breathe deeply without being in pain. Since he can't move, he has been using poor Kirara as his personal slave. Miroku had helped him at first but then grew tired of it and is now some were in the village flirting with girls and asking them his famous question.
"HURRY IT UP DAMN IT!" he yelled again. Kirara was also growing tired and she rolled her eyes and dropped the fruit in his hand.
"It's about time, man you're slow." He said as he bit in to the fruit. That was the last straw for Kirara. She jumped on Inuyasha, making sure to land on one of his injuries, and hit him in the face with her paw. She then jumped off him and out the door, her nose held high in the air.
"Hey, what was that for. GET BACK HERE!" Inuyasha yelled when he tried to get up but fell over again in pain. "KIRARA!"
Kirara just kept walking as if she didn't hear him and when she got to the edge of the village she ran.
She wanted to get to he mistress. She hated it when they were apart. When they were, she had no one to scratch her in the right spots or to sleep with, and since Shippo went with them, she didn't have any one to play with either. After a while, she got to the well and jumped on to the side. She looked down the well with sad eyes. She missed her mistress so much.
"What are you waiting for?" an anonymous female voice said from behind Kirara, scaring her out of her mind. She turned around sharply to see a cloaked figure standing by the well. The only thing Kirara could see of the figure underneath the cloak were bright silver eyes shinning down at her. She was about to transform into her bigger self when the figure pushed her off the side of the well, in to it.
"Your mistress needs you." The figure whispered before Kirara was engulfed by the light blue twinkles in the darkness. Before her vision of the figure was completely gone, a breeze picked up and blew the figures hood away from the lower half of her face to revel pale skin and a small smile. Then she disappeared into darkness.
-Yusuke's house -
"Oh this feels so good." Kagome said as she flopped back on one of the beds in the guest room. "It's been a long trip. I am so tired."
"I agree. I love these beds. They are way more comfortable then the beds back home." Sango said as she, too, flopped down on her bed. "I could really get used to this"
"You make it sound like you sleep on the floor or something," Yusuke said from the door.
"And you should know better than to ease drop on people." Kagome said in a stern voice as she sat up on the bed.
"I wasn't ease dropping I was coming to tell you I had to go take care of something at my job and just happened to over hear." He stated simply.
"Ok well we are going to finish unpacking and then I am gunna show them the park." Kagome said as she continued putting cloths into the dresser and closet. "We will more than likely be there the rest of the day so just meet us there."
"Yea whatever." Yusuke said, rolling his eyes.
He walked out of the room and in to the living room.
"Ok Boton, take us to the toddle so we can get this done and over with." Yusuke said as Boton made a portal.
She had shown up a little while after they had arrived and said that Koenma wanted to see them immediately. Luckily for them Kagome, Sango, and Shippo were all in the room when she popped out of nowhere. So they didn't have to explain anything.
All five of them walked through the portal and came out in Koenma's office to see him pacing back and forth on his desk mumbling things to himself.
"Koenma sir the detectives are here." Boton said after a couple minutes of waiting.
"Oh thank you. It's about time. This is really important and you're off playing with your cousin." Koenma ranted as he still paced.
"Well if it's such an emergency then why don't you tell us what it is toddler?" Yusuke said in a cocky voice.
"I'M NOT A TODDLER YUSUKE!" He screamed. He took a deep breathe and sat down. "Ok you have a new mission."
"I figured that much." Yusuke mumble. Koenma stopped talking and just glared at him then went on.
"A couple years ago sightings of a mysterious cloaked figure started coming up. We sent some scouts out to find out about it but all they found out was that it was female and that's she didn't want to be bothered. The scouts had a hard time keeping tabs on her so we left her be. We did do much about it since she didn't seem hostile. She usually was only seen in one of these four areas but we didn't think much of it." He said as four pictures appeared on the screen. Two looked to be of schools, there was one of a housing area, and then one of a shrine.
"Hey that's our school." Kuwabara yelled and pointed to one of the school pictures.
"And that's the housing area Keiko lives in I believe." Kurama said motioning toward the second picture.
"Hmm…" Yusuke said as he studied the pictures closely.
"What is it Yusuke?" Kurama asked coming up behind Yusuke.
"This shrine looks familiar," He said "but I just can't place were I've seen it." He started thinking back to try to place it.
"We better hurry up Urameshi or that cute cousin of yours might get mad." Kuwabara said as he got a dreamy look in his eyes.
"THAT'S IT!" Yusuke yelled suddenly causing everyone to jump. "That's the shrine that my cousin lives at!"
"Hmm…that's interesting. Anyway a couple of days ago reports started coming in of sightings of her being in Ren-kai and Makai. The thing we're worried about is that she got through the barriers without us noticing." He brought up a small thing of papers and hid his face behind them. "The latest report was put in today and it was at a train station in Ningenkai. The scouts claimed to have also felt several demon auras around her but none of them could be seen."
"Did you say at the train station?" Kurama asked
"Yea that's what the scouts said. Why?" Koenma said looking at the paper still.
"We were just at the train station picking up my cousin." Yusuke said "We didn't feel any demons." 'Besides the one with my cousin that is.' He thought. The boys had decide not to tell Koenma about the demon with Kagome until Yusuke questioned her about it.
"The scouts said they had to concentrate to the point of getting a head ache to be able to sense them." Koenma said reading more of the paper. "I fear that she may be bringing demons from Makai through the barrier for who knows what purpose." He finally put the paper down so they could see his face. His face was serious and stern. "I want you guys to find her and question her about the demons and her intentions."
"There is a slight problem with that." Yusuke said
"What's the problem? Don't tell me you lost your powers!" Koenma wailed and started screaming about the world being over and his dad killing him.
"NO! It's not that. It's my cousin. She is very curious and no matter what I do she will find a way to follow me if we go looking. She'll be in danger." Yusuke said in hopelessly.
"Well then find ways around it. You need to find this girl." Koenma almost yelled.
"It's not that simple." Yusuke mumbled as he sat down on the couch.
"Well I'm making it easier for you," Koenma said as he flagged over George and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and ran out of the room. A couple minutes later the doors opened again to reveal George and a man with long black hair falling freely down his back. He was wearing a pair of black loose jeans and a black muscle shirt. He looks like any other teen in Ningenkai except his extra long hair and his unusual bright silver with black specked colored eyes. They walked in to the room and the man went and stood in front of Koenma's desk.
"Can you tell me what is so important that you had to drag me away from my search?" the man yelled. "I almost had her and you had to come and call me away."
"Calm down Ryuun. It was for a good reason, I swear." Koenma stated from hiding halfway under his desk. He came up slightly when Ryuun backed off some. "These are the Spirit Detective that I told you about." Koenma said as he motioned to the four boys watching the scene unfold. "Boys, Ryuun will be joining you on your search. He has been tracing this girl for about two years now so he knows more about her than anyone else does." Koenma stated as he started heading toward the door.
"What do you mean 'he's helping us'?" Yusuke asked. "We can take care of one girl by ourselves."
"Urameshi what are you saying? We can't fight a girl!" Kuwabara exclaimed. Finally catching up with what had been going on.
"I meant what I said Yusuke." Koenma said as he opened the door. "And if it comes down to it you might have to fight with her Kuwabara." Koenma mumbled before he left the room.
The boys were all standing in the room looking at the door Koenma had just exited. They all pretty much had the same thought on their mind. 'How did we/I get into this?'
"Stupid toddler." Ryuun and Yusuke mumbled at the same time. The looked at each other then smirked. They were going to get along just fine.

Whew, that was long. This is like ten pages. I didn't know I could type that much. Just a note to all you Kuwabara fans out there, I'm sorry if you don't like me being mean to him. I sorta have to make the story work. And to all you Inuyasha fans I didn't mean to make him be a jerk I just had to. I'm very sorry. Plz review. I'm running out of reasons to write this so I need people to give me a boost of confidence.
