Chapter 6

Something white was just at the edge of her vision as Kagome walked in a completely black world. She could see herself as if it was clear as day but she couldn't tell where the floor ended or the ceiling began. Was their even one to begin with? Kagome simply shrugged to herself because she knew if she tried to think about this place anymore in depth then she would surely go insane.

Kagome walked to the only light source for what seemed to be hours without getting any closer. 'This is hopeless. I need to get back to Yusuke and get some answers from him. There is no way that demons should even be in this time let alone know or be friends with that stupid bully of mine. How did I even beat the other one? He was really short too. He reminds me a bit of Sesshoumaru they way he looks so unemotional. That stupid elvis hair guy he reminds me of Miroku that pervert. If I ever see that damn Youko again it will be his last … he is in that kid... umm Shuichi's body though so if I kill Youko will it kill him too? Damn fox. And what was with that little demon looking like Jaken. That was really creepy. Gross.' Kagome involuntarily shivered at the thought of the tiny demon.

Kagome stops her mental rant as she finally notices the light she was walking towards was coming at her a little too fast for comfort.

"Hey wait I know I wanted to get there faster but not that fast!"

Kagome began to run away from the speeding light until he caught up with her and engulfed her completely.

(This was where I was stuck on where to go on to next….damn writers block)

Yusuke watched Kagome's body move in her bed. She had started saying something in her sleep then shivered. When her body stopped moving he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

A couple of hours ago when Kagome had fainted Koenma had popped out of nowhere and told them he had seen everything. He had suggested that they take her to Reikai so she could rest and question her about her knowledge of demon existence and of her power that hasn't been seen in about five hundred years.

Koenma told Kurama to take the family Kagome had saved back to their home and to make sure they didn't remember anything involving the attack or rescue. Kurama had merely done what he was told but knew the unspoken meaning of the order. 'If you don't want to be attacked when Kagome wakes up you better get the hell out of here.'

Presently Yusuke was sitting next to Kagome on the bed they provided her in the Reikai. Hiei was leaning up against the wall behind him near the door with a scowl on his face directed to Kagome.

Yusuke took a cloth provided by Botan when she had taken them all here to Kagome's forehead when she started to move in her sleep again. The cold sweat that formed there was wiped away when Koenma walked into the room with Botan at his side.

"How is she doing Yusuke?"

"She's doing alright but I think she's having a bad dream or something. Even before now with that demon Kai has always been strong and she protected that family like she did me when we were little. Kai was always thinking of others before herself but she was still always innocent. She shouldn't know about demons. She shouldn't have that much spiritual energy and …."

Koenma and Hiei raised an eyebrow at the nickname and the unusual care that Yusuke was showing the girl that wasn't Kieko.

"Easy Yusuke, calm down. We'll get our answers once she wakes up and figure out how she did all that but for now I'm going to go see Kurama and see if he got any answers from Youko. He knew her and Youko hasn't been in contact with a human since he was killed."

"Hn. You shouldn't even care about that girl as much as you do. She could be a puppet of some high class demon that is controlling her and is only trying to come close to the spirit world so that they can destroy it."

Yusuke rose from his seat besides Kagome and flared his energy high in a threatening wave towards the short demon. Grinding his teeth and tightening his fists at his side Yusuke glared at Hiei that made Koenma back up in a cold sweat.

"Kai would never betray anyone like that. Especially me! We might not have the best relationship in the world but we're still friends and Kagome would never hurt anyone and if any of you try to hurt her …"

"K… kei. Kei?"

Turning around and bringing back his energy Yusuke looked down at Kagome. She had sat up with her head in between her hands and looked like she was trying to catch her breath. Sitting down next to he tried to lay her back down.

"You shouldn't be up yet Kai. You were in some real pain just an hour ago with the way you were holding your side and all."

"I'm fine Kei, there's nothing to worry about. I'm not a little girl. I can take care of myself."

She sighed heavily again as she repositioned herself against the wall behind her and closed her eyes to slow down here rapid heart beat. Opening her eyes a little she noticed a new person was added to the problem of whether she should just lie her ass off or risk getting caught by running away and just going getting a head start on her training. Why did her life always have to be so complicated?

"Well first off my name is Koenma and I am the ruler of spirit world." Koenma had stepped forward and offered a small bow in greeting.

"So that's where I am and …. Why are you sucking on a pacifier? I know you're not anywhere near my own age but still are you alright… like up there?"

As she asked that she pointed to her temple and tapped it twice. Botan tried to muffle her giggles with a hand. Hiei smirked wickedly and Yusuke laughed straight out at the look on Koenmas face.

Clearing his throat after Yusuke was reduced to snorts Koenma recovered from the insult and redeemed a calm face but serious face. It didn't help the fact that Kagome's powers were given a rude awakening and she could sense his embarrassment.

"Anyway, I had been watching over my spirit detectives when they had destroyed that demon and your little argument with Youko when he forced himself out. My apologies for his actions but I would like to ask you a few questions as to those powers you presented earlier with your aid to the human family at the park."

She had listened to his every word but her gaze was on the new visitor that was staring back at her from the doorway.

"As long as he can promise me that he keeps that coward fox away from me then I'll answer anything I can."

"I can only promise to try since at most times he is stronger than normal. Forgive me though I didn't try hard enough last time."

"Alright. Oh and you also have to answer your own questions as you ask me."

"What do you mean Kai?"

"I mean like if you ask me my name you give yours in return. Just like we used to remember?" Yusuke nodded with a small smirk

Koenma thought about it for a moment as the others looked at her strangely. She had a long time to perfect the skill of hiding things in answers as to not give away the whole truth but to not lie either with getting answers in return. She had Miroku to thank for that.

Hiei stared at her from the corner of his eye in a calculating way and their eyes met briefly until Koenma agreed.

"Fine, it sounds fair enough. First off how do you know about demons?"
