"Unhand me this instant or I will do to you what I just did to that youkai." Kagome glared at him. Who did he think he was, grabbing her all of a sudden like that?
Yusuke's face paled as the youkai's shrill cries of death rang throughout his ears once again and quickly removed his hand. "What the hell did you just do?" She had popped out of nowhere and obliterated the youkai with one shot. Bringing up the question was she even human?
Kagome's eyes softened as she gazed into the confused brown eyes of the boy in front of her. "Listen here kid, just go home with your friend and forget everything you've seen here today. It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run." She patted the shocked boy on the shoulder and turned to leave once more. The sun was descending in the sky illuminating the thin clouds.
"Oi who are you calling a kid? For your information it's my job to defeat youkai. I'm a spirit detective and I'm responsible for bringing down the bad guys so I need to know, whose side are you on?" Yusuke asked with his usual tack.
Kagome laughed. "If I was your enemy do you honestly think I would have just saved your friend or tell you I was your enemy? If you really need to know I'm a miko, or at least a miko in training." She said as if that would explain everything. Glancing up at the purple and orange streaked sky the girl made a clucking sound with her tongue. "You know I'd love to stay here and talk but I got to go before my mom starts worrying about me."
Yusuke and Kuwabara stared at her with a dazed expression as she ran off. "Hey Urameshi." Kuwabara began.
"What Kuwabara?" Yusuke sighed and went to leave as well. Their job here was done and he wanted to get some video games in before the arcade closed.
"What do you think she meant by 'she didn't know that youkai still existed in this time?" Kuwabara scratched the back of his head and followed Yusuke, passing him as he thought about possible meanings.
"What do you mean? She was probably thought demons only existed in those old legends they talk about in school." Yusuke muttered. Running to catch up with his friend's swift gait the spirit detective resumed the lead. "What did you think she meant?"
"Well it's just that she must have recognized the thing immediately so she must have seen them before. She's in training to fight to, she said so, and why would she learn to fight if there was no current threat?"
"I don't know a hobby maybe. Or it could be some kind of weird family tradition." Yusuke stuffed his hands into his pockets and contemplated for a moment. He felt like there was something he should know or remember and it was dancing around at the edge of his brains, resisting all attempts at recognition. "Hey Kuwabara is there anything we forgot to do?" He asked finally giving up.
"I don't know did you have a date with Keiko, or was there something else Koenma told you to do?"
"No Keiko had to work at her parents shop today and the only order I got from the toddler today was to capture that one demon. I don't think he'll care too much if we tell him it's dead."
The two continued to walk in compatible silence for several more minutes, occasionally glancing up at the darkening horizon or the random cars that whizzed by on their way back home.
"Oh shit!" Yusuke yelled startling a pair of nearby joggers. Stumbling they glared at the youth who would dare emit such foul language. Shivering when they received a deadly glare back they turned around and continued on their route.
"What!" The second toughest punk of Sarayashiki Jr. High glanced in every which direction trying to locate the new threat. "What is it? Where is it?"
"We never asked the chick for her name!"
Victory! I managed to update this week! Don't know when I'll next update 'because I'm going to concentrate on my other story but I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed and I'd like to thank Fairy Demon26. I put asterisks in between seen changes and your review confused me at first so I checked on fanfiction and they didn't show up. Thanks for telling me and until next time, ja ne.
