Chapter 6: Encounters
- Mystery POV-
'I CAN'T BELIEVE HE BLEW ME OFF AGAIN!' I thought furiously as I walked down the street. Yusuke and I had a date scheduled for around 3-ish but when I went by his house, he wasn't there. I had thought that maybe he had forgot and was some were around town but I have been walking for a while now and there was no sign of him. 'When I find him I'm gunna smack him in to the next century.' I thought. I looked around at were I was and found myself at the park. I was too caught up in being angry with Yusuke that I didn't watch were I was heading.
While I was thinking of all the different ways I could torture Yusuke, I heard a short scream followed by the sound of crying. I walked toward the sound and came upon a little boy with auburn hair. He was wearing a pair of black baggy pants and a dark blue shirt with a fox embroidered on it. He was holding his bleeding knee at the bottom of the slide.
"Are you ok?" I asked as I came closer to the kid. He looked up sharply and looked a little afraid.
"It's ok I'm not gunna hurt you." I said softly. "My name's Keiko. What's yours?" I asked as I bent down to his eye level.
"Shippo." He said timidly.
"That's a nice name. What happened?" I asked as pointed to his knee. He sniffed then looked at me.
"I went down the slide and when I got to the bottom I hit my knee." He said, still holding his knee.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" I asked. He looked at me skeptically at first but then nodded his head. I went forward slowly and looked at his knee. It wasn't a deep cut but he could use a bandage.
"Are you here alone?" I asked as I looked closer at his knee. He shook his head.
"My friends are over there." He said while pointing toward the lake.
"Well then let's take you too them, ok." I said as I stood up. He nodded his head and stood up. When we started walking, I notice he was limping.
"Does your knee hurt?" I asked. He puffed out his chest and pushed his shoulders back.
"No. I'm tough." He said proudly in a voice that was deeper then his real one. I laughed lightly behind my hand.
"Yes you are." I agreed as we continued walking. We were walking for a couple minutes, because I didn't want to walk too fast since he was hurt, when we came to two girls about my age sitting on a blanket. The little boy, forgetting about his injury, jumped at one of the girls.
"KAGOME!" He cried as he latched on to the girl, apparently named Kagome. 'Hmm that name sound familiar, and that girl looks familiar. But were have I seen her before?' I thought as the Kagome started talking.
-Regular POV-
"Shippo what's wrong?" Kagome asked once she prided him from her stomach. He took a deep breathe and Kagome braced herself.
"I-was-playing-like-you-told-me-to-and-I-went-down-the-slide-and-I-fell-and-I-hurt-my-knee-then-the-nice-lady-came-and-she-told-me-her-name-was-Keiko-and-she-asked-my-name-and-if-I-was-ok-then-she-asked-me-if-I-was-alone-and-I-said-no-then-she-asked-me-if-it-hurt-but-it-didn't-because-I'm-strong-then-she-took-me-here-to-you.."He once again said in one breath. Kagome took a second to register all this, then she looked toward the girl the was standing off to the side. 'Hmm she looks familiar.' Kagome thought as she looked at Keiko. Kagome picked up Shippo and walked over to Keiko.
"Thank you for bringing Shippo back. My names Kagome. Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said as she extended her hand.
'Higurashi? Higurashi! I know who she is!' Ran through Keiko's head when Kagome introduced herself.
"Kagome!" Keiko yelled excitedly. "It's me! Keiko Yukimura!" she finished. Kagome's eyes were confused at first but then they were filled with recognition.
"Keiko!" Kagome squealed then she attached herself to Keiko in a fierce hug. Keiko hugged her right back.
"I haven't seen you in so long. What are you doing here?" Keiko said/asked.
"I'm here visiting Yusuke for the summer. This is so cool now we can catch up. I missed you so much." Kagome replied as she let go of Keiko. Someone cleared their throat behind them and they turned to see Sango and Shippo looking at them amusement.
"Oh I'm sorry you guys. Keiko this is Sango and Shippo. They came with me to visit Yusuke." Kagome said as she pointed to each of them.
"Nice to meet you." Sango and Keiko at the same time. They smiled at each other.
"Come sit with us. We have a lot to catch up on." Kagome said as she pulled Keiko toward the blanket. They sat down and talked causing Keiko to forget her anger toward Yusuke. For the moment anyway.
-With Kirara-
Kirara jumped out of the well and in to the well house. She looked around and noticed that the door to the house was slightly open. She slipped out and followed the scent of her mistress to a black river with a bunch of speeding demons zooming past on it. She followed the scent to a large building with many people walking around. She followed it on to one of the demon moving things that looked like a centipede demon and in to one of the rooms. People came in to the room and she jumped out the window and on to the top of it. The thing started moving and she ducked down low to the top of it. The smell was fading, but she could still follow the scent of her mistress. She's find her soon.
-Feudal Era-
Inuyasha had, by some miraculous event, managed to get up and was following Kirara's scent. 'When I get a hold of her….' He thought as he grew closer to the well. 'I should go get Kagome while I'm at it. She doesn't need to be in her time for three months, and she defiantly didn't need to have Sango there.' He thought as he moved closer to the well. He came in to the clearing to see a figure sitting on the side of the well.
"Who the hell are you?" he demanded as he drew Tetsusaiga.
"That is none of your concern." The figure said in a cold feminine voice. "I'd advice that you leave Kagome and Sango be. It's in your best interest if you do." She finished as she stood up.
"I can do what ever the hell I want." Inuyasha yelled in an aggravated voice. 'Who does she think, telling me what to do?' He thought.
"This is your only warning Inuyasha." She said as she turned toward the well.
"How do you know my name?" he demanded. But the figure didn't answer. Instead, she jumped up and into the well. Inuyasha looked on in anger then ran forward and found that the well was empty. 'How did she get through?' He thought. 'That doesn't matter. She can't tell me what to do.' And with that, he jumped down the well, but he was not surrounded by the blue sparkles. Instead, he landed on the bottom of the well.
"WHAT!" could be heard all throughout the forest. Everyone that knew Inuyasha knew that he was very angry and started moving away from were the yelling was coming from.
-With the boys-
"So what all do you know about this 'mysterious' girl?" Kurama asked Ryuun as they came out of the portal in the deserted part of the park.
"She has a major attitude problem for one." Ryuun said with a bit of annoyance in his voice. "This one time I called her woman, because I don't know her name, and she threw a bolder at me. It's a good thing I am good at dodging, or I'd be a pancake right now." He said with amusement in his eyes
"She can only be found if she wants to be, which really sucks. She is very good at hiding her aura. The only way the other scouts know she's even there is because they see her." He continued in a cool voice.
"The other scouts? Does that mean you can find her aura when she's hiding it?" Kurama asked walking by his side.
"Well it took me a couple months, but I finally found a way round it." He stated proudly. "But she can still sneak up on me sometimes though." He added, mocking sadness.
"Hey weren't your eyes silver back in the office?" Kuwabara asked bluntly and completely off the subject. Everyone looked at Ryuun and sure enough, his eyes were no longer silver. Instead, they were black.
"Oh yea. Don't mind that. My eyes sometime change to silver when I am agitated." He said as though they were talking about the weather.
"Let's get back to the subject." Hiei said some-what annoyed. He was still mad about the earlier events.
"Oh ok. Well she doesn't talk much." He said. "With words anyway." He added offhandedly.
"What does that mean?" Yusuke asked them from up ahead, were he was looking for his cousin.
"Its means that if your bugging her she won't tell you that you are she will throw random object at you or try to kick your face in." He said in amusement when he saw Yusuke and Kuwabara look at him in disbelief.
"That sounds like Kagome, and Keiko for that matter, when they get mad." Yusuke said. "Even Kagome's friend Sango." He added as he thought back to a little while earlier before they had gotten to his house.
-Flashback-
The group was a little ways from Yusuke's house.
"Yo, Sango!" He called. "Why don't you let me carry that?" He asked as he reached for Hiraikotsu.
"I've got it." She said shortly and walked faster.
"Come on, a girl like you can't carry that thing for long without getting tired." He continued but what he failed to notice was Sango stiffen and Kagome shake her head and mumble 'he shouldn't have said that'.
"Are you saying I'm weak Yusuke?" Sango asked stiffly, her back to him.
"No I'm saying that you're a girl and girls get tired easily." He stated simple as he reached for Hiraikotsu again. He failed to notice Sango's fist coming toward his head until he was on the ground sporting a nice new bruise on his cheek.
"What the hell was that for." Yusuke yelled as he got up. Kuwabara was on the floor laughing. Kurama was off to the side, by Kagome, watching the scene unfold. Hiei was standing next to Kurama looking annoyed.
"Does that show me as weak or tired Yusuke?" she asked calmly. Yusuke looked at her like she was crazy then over to Kagome.
"Are you just gunna let her do that?" He asked helplessly. He couldn't do anything to her since she was Kagome's friend and he didn't want to provoke her wrath too.
"You brought it on yourself." She stated simple as she and Sango walked away. Yusuke just hung his head and walked after them. 'I can never win.'
-End Flashback-
"And to top it all off she's a major pain in the butt." Ryuun finished with humor in his voice, after hearing Yusuke's story.
"A pain in the butt am I now." An anonymous, cold, female voice said from in the trees. The spirit detectives got in to a fighting stance.
"Snuck up on me again I see." Ryuun said, amusingly into the trees.
"It's not that hard when you're basically yelling your lungs out." She replied, but this time it was from right in front of them. The detectives turned swiftly forward. There they saw a figure in a black cloak. They saw bright silver eyes looking at them from underneath the hood. "I heard that you were looking for me detectives." She said turning her eyes for one to the other.
"We have some questions to ask you." Kurama said stepping forward.
"Ask away, but I can't say I will answer." She said coldly. Hiei narrowed his eyes and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Why have you been going through the barriers into Makai and Ren-kai?" Kurama asked as he stood there stiffly.
"Reasons." She answered shortly.
"You guys are just wasting your breathe." Ryuun said tiredly from the side lines. The figure looked toward him and Hiei took the distraction to his advantage. He was already in a bad mood from being blocked earlier by two human women in a row, but now this woman was being annoying. He jumped forward, using his speed, and disappeared.
-Kurama's POV-
The figure answered my question with an evasive answer. Then Ryuun said that we were just wasting our breath. The figure turned toward him and I was about to ask for a more detailed answer when Hiei suddenly disappeared.
'I hope he doesn't do anything stupid.' I said to Youko hopefully
'I doubt it' Youko replied. 'I don't think he's that stupid.' He finished
We watched as Hiei appeared in front of the figure with his sword draw and being held horizontally across the figure.
'I could be wrong though.' Youko said.
The thing that surprised both of us was that the figure had her hand out and Hiei's sword was pressed against her palm. He looked as though he was push with all his might but the sword didn't move. The figures gaze was still on Ryuun and she hadn't even flinched. Hiei then looked as though he was trying to pull his sword back but it still wouldn't budge.
"You attack me when I'm distracted then try to get away?" She asked as she turned her gaze toward Hiei. "That's not very sportsmanlike you know." With that said, the figure thrust her hand forward some and Hiei went flying backwards toward a tree. Before he hit the tree he stopped and was placed softly on the tree, there he stuck. She wrapped her fingers around the blade of Hiei's sword, which was still in her hand, and pulled it toward her face.
"This is a nice blade. Well taken care of." She said as she inspected it. "You wouldn't want to loose it." She said with a threat evident in her voice. She tossed toward the base of the tree Hiei was accompanying, then turned her back and stared walking away.
"Hey get back here! We have some questions still." Yusuke yelled. But she ignored him and disappeared.
'That wasn't a smart move' Youko said in my head.
'No it wasn't' I replied walking over to a furious looking Hiei.
-Regular POV-
"So how are we supposed to get him down from here?" Kurama asked Ryuun, who was currently on the ground laughing.
"I..haha...told….ahahah…you. ahahhahahaha" Ryuun said between laughs. The look on Hiei's face got even darker and Ryuun seemed to feel that his life was in danger and stopped laughing.
"I don't really know how to get him down but if this is like past events it should wear off right about….now." And when he said that Hiei fell off the tree and on to his feet. Hiei picked up his sword and slammed it in to its sheath then sped away.
"Something tells me he's not too happy." Ryuun said jokingly.
"You could say that again." Yusuke said from his side. Ryuun looked at him then the way Hiei had went.
"Something tells me.." Ryuun started.
"I was joking. jees." Yusuke said as he walked away again, looking for his cousin. The others followed him.
"You said that 'if it was like past events' that means she's done that before." Kurama said as he walked next to Yusuke.
"Yea several times actually. Even to me." Ryuun said lightly.
Yusuke was about to add to the statement when laughing and girls' voices were heard up ahead. The boys stopped and looked around some bushed to see Kagome, Sango, and, too Yusuke's dismay, Keiko sitting on a blanket watching Shippo attempt to catch bugs in the grass.
"I can't go in there." Yusuke whispered as he tried to back away.
"PRETTY GIRLS!" Kuwabara yelled as he ran forward, knocking Yusuke into the small clearing.
"Yusuke." Keiko and Kagome yelled in anger/surprise.
"Hey Kagome," he said "and Keiko." He said with slight fear in his voice.
"So Yusuke were have you been today?" Keiko asked in an all too cheery voice.
"I'm sorry Keiko!" Yusuke said "I had to go pick up Kagome at the train station then I was dragged to work," he defended helplessly. "I'm very sorry." He said from his position on his knee, were he fell. The look on Keiko's face went from angry to understanding. She walked over to Yusuke and helped him up.
"I'll believe you this time, but don't let it happen again." She said cheerfully. Yusuke looked relieved.
"Maybe we should head home." Kagome said. "It's getting kinda late." The sky was getting dark as the sun sunk behind the horizon.
" That would probably be best." Kurama said as he started walking away with Kagome, with Shippo in her arms. Kagome smiled up at him in a thank you type way. He smiled back and Kagome felt her face get hot. She turned her face away swiftly. 'He's so cute when he smile.' she thought. 'I really need to stop thinking these things.' She scolded herself as she continued walking with Kurama. She hoped Kurama didn't see her blush. Sadly, her hopes weren't met.
'Did you see that?' Youko asked smugly. 'She blushed. That means she likes me..err I mean us.' He continued.
"Yes I did see that. It doesn't mean she likes us though.' Kurama replied. 'It just means that she's embarrassed.'
'Wutever. I say she likes us.' Youko replied childishly. Kurama just mentally rolled his eyes.
He came back to reality to see Kagome's face extremely close to his own and she was giving him a look of worry. Kurama had to fight with Youko who was trying to take over and take advantage of their closeness.
"Are you ok?" Kagome asked getting a little closer. "You sorta spaced out." She said and seemed to be unaware on how close they were.
"Yea I'm fine." Kurama had to force out.
'Kiss her. Kiss her. Kiss her.' Youko was chanting in the back of Kurama's mind.
"Are you sure? You looked a little flushed." She said/asked as she felt his head. But the reason he was flushed had no connection to having a cold. Youko decided to be extra cruel and was sending pictures of Kurama and Kagome in several 'inappropriate' positions.
"I'm sure." He managed to breathe out. Kagome gave him a weird look then she seemed to notice how close they were and she backed away quickly. She turned her back to Kurama so that he couldn't see her turn beet red.
"Uhoh" Kagome suddenly said. "We forgot or blanket back there." She said sheepishly. They were already at the exit of the park and the blanket was sadly forgotten in the center of the park.
"Don't worry, I'll get it Kagome." Sango said, coming out of the conversation she was having with Keiko.
"Are you sure Sango? I could get it." Kagome said as she stopped walking.
"Yea I'm sure." Sango said as she started walking the way they came.
"Thank you. You remember the way to Yusuke's house right?" Kagome yelled to Sango. As a response, she got Sango waving her hand in a yes type jester.
"Ok well let's get home then." Kagome said as she walked off with the rest of the gang.
Unknown to the small group a dark shadowed figure watched the encounter and then lurked after Sango.
-
