KAGOME:
I fired my last arrow as I panted. My pink miko powers surrounded the arrow and purified the demons it touched. It killed at least ten but there were lots more. I was out of arrows too. I saw Sango and Miroku off to the side. They seemed to be tired. I sprinted to them. Kirara and Shippo saw me running and bound over to me. As soon as we were in reach of the other two I unleashed my powers and a pink barrier sprang up. We all sat down as we looked out on the battle field. Koga appeared a second later and my barrier let him in. Finally Inuyasha and Sesshomaru walked up and I let them in.
The demons outside my barrier all growled and circled hoping to strike when I weakened. We all sat back. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were glaring at one another but they were too tired to do anything. I looked out on the battle field. It was ripped up. The once beautiful field was torn up ground, bloody, and littered with bodies. Naraku, I saw was standing a ways off talking to Kanna, Kagura, and Kohaku. He had his own barrier around them. Demons stood guard around him while the demons tried to break my barrier. He had brought more then a horde of these demons with him. I looked away from the field to those in the barrier. They all were resting and some were already asleep. I sighed as I looked up at the noon sun.
-
I was now nineteen. It had been four years since I had fallen down the well. Four years of travelling and training. We had been looking for the Shikon No Tama shards for the whole time. At least Miroku a monk, Sango a slayer, Shippo a Kitsune, Kirara a neko, and Inuyasha a hanyou had been looking for them. I was part of the group to but I hadn't been with them for four years.
I had been in the feudal era for this time but I hadn't stayed with the group the whole time. No. I had left them at seventeen. I had gone off to train. I had stayed with a miko for eight months mastering my miko powers, herb lore, and the bow. After that I had gone for some weapon training. Who did I go to? I went to different people. For four months I had trained with a kitsune by the name of Youko Kurama. He was a thief. I had trained with him in plant lore, stealth, and other things. He had been a good friend.
Then I had gone to Sesshomaru. I know it may sound crazy but I had gone to him. He trained me how to wield a spear, staff, and sword. I did this in six months. He had been surprised at how fast I learned. And finally after that I had trained with a wolf clan. Not Koga's wolf clan but another. They had taught me hunting, tracking, hand to hand combat, and how to use any small blade. After six months I had left them too. I had left to search out my old group.
We had been parted for two years and I had never fully told them why I had left. I had just left saying I would be back one day. But the moment I had found them Naraku had also showed up. He had interrupted our reunion by attacking. It seemed that the last battle was upon us.
-
I was shaken from my thoughts by a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into some golden eyes. Inuyasha suddenly crushed me in a hug.
"How are you?" I asked.
"It is so good to see you Kagome. We thought you had died long ago. It's been two years." He whispered.
Suddenly he was pushed aside and Sango and Shippo gathered me into another hug. When they had finally let go I looked at the others. Sesshomaru had his eyes closed and looked to be asleep, but I knew he was just resting and fully aware of his surroundings.
"Yeah Kagome it's been two years. Where did you go?" Koga asked.
"I went off to train."
Everyone blinked then slowly nodded.
"So are you stronger?' Shippo asked looking at me.
I laughed.
"Yes." I said.
Suddenly Koga sniffed. He sniffed again. Then he crawled to me and sniffed me. Inuyasha glared at him.
"Back off you mangy wolf." He said.
"You smell like wolves." Koga said.
"That's because you're all over her." Inuyasha scowled.
"No. She smells like different wolves."
I laughed causing everyone to look at me even Sesshomaru.
"You caught me. I guess with all the miko powers I have been using the barrier around myself is disappearing."
"Barrier around yourself?" Miroku frowned.
I nodded and let the small barrier around me shatter. Everyone starred. Black ears with red insides like Inuyasha popped up while my human ones disappeared. My finger nails turned to claws and I grew small fangs. My eyes took on a sharper glint and turned dark, almost black with wisps of red. A black tail like Koga's appeared, only mine was longer and had a roan red tip. My hair was longer and had red ends. And my black sweat pants and tank top turned into a pair of roan red hakamas, and a black t-shirt. My shirt was tied tightly by a black sash tied around my middle. Over top of my shirt I wore a roan red vest like Shippo's. I also had on some red tinted shoes and a red belt. A sword that had been invisible returned to my waist. It was in a black sheath and all you saw was the red hilt that had a wolf carved into it. There was silence as they gaped.
"You're a wolf youkai." They all breathed.
Even Sesshomaru's eyes widened. I grinned showing my fangs.
"Since when?" Inuyasha stuttered.
"Since forever. My mother was a wolf youkai. My father wasn't really human or demon but when I was born I was a full wolf demon. Souta is also a wolf demon but has a different father. But in the future we have to hide our appearance and there is no reason to fight so I never learned that's why I wasn't very strong. And I have miko powers because I am the reincarnation of the Shikon No Miko. The powers didn't seem to care I wasn't human."
"This is great!" Koga said. "Now when we mate you can stay with me forever and our pups won't be half breeds."
I sighed.
"You won't touch her!" Someone hissed.
Everyone spun and looked at two youkai who had just entered the barrier. One was tall with long black hair and brown eyes. He wore his hair in a braid and wore an outfit similar to Koga's but a deep crimson. Beside the first wolf youkai, stood another one. He had long hair with red streaks. He wore the same outfit but a roan red. He had brown eyes and also wore his hair in a braid. Both wore black armour and had swords and knives at their waists.
"Guys this is Haki."
I pointed to the one with the plain black hair.
"And this is Miku."
I pointed to the man with red streaks.
"Who are they?" Inuyasha said suddenly.
"We are from a wolf clan. And you will not touch her." Haki growled at all of them.
"We are red wolves and we are here to protect our leader." Miku said calmly.
Everyone spun to me again.
"You're a wolf clan leader?' Koga gaped.
I nodded.
"Our last Leader was leading us to extinction. Kagome showed up and tried to show him reason. He challenged her. The rules are simple. If a person defeats the current leader they become the new leader. None of us could beat him but she did. We accepted her." Haki said firmly with a nod.
"She has saved our clan and helped us. We are all loyal to her and if you touch her without her permission we will kill you." Miku said in a deadly tone.
Haki was sometimes quite rash like Inuyasha and was also impulsive. He wasn't that bright but quite strong and sneaky. Miku was calm and always in control. He thought everything out and was intelligent. He was also quick and skilled. Miku was my right hand man and Haki was my left hand man. Everyone looked them over as they looked everyone over.
"So these are your two best men?" Koga asked.
I nodded. He laughed.
"Well I could beat them both."
He turned back to me and clasped my hands in his.
"So, after I kill Naraku we will go back to my clan. These guys can take over for you. You can help me lead my clan."
"Koga…." I started.
He was yanked back by the neck of his shirt. Haki was glaring at him and had a vein popping on his forehead.
"We told you not to touch her!" He yelled.
Miku grabbed Haki's arms and pulled the glaring wolf back. Koga glared right back. I grabbed his arms as he started to stand.
"Fight them and I will kick you from this barrier. Now sit."
Inuyasha collided with the ground.
"Sorry I wasn't talking to you." I said.
He growled from the face down position in the dirt. He sat up as the necklaces effects wore off. Koga glanced at me then my men. Finally he walked back to his old place and sat down. My two men plopped down beside me watching everyone.
"I told you not to come... What took you so long?" I asked.
Haki grinned and Miku sighed.
"I tried to make him obey but you know how stubborn he is." Haki said. "He tried to get me to come and said you need protection. Of course I tried to obey your command but he dragged me here."
Haki sighed.
"So he dragged you here." I said to Miku who nodded.
"No! I listened to your command and Miku dragged me here." Haki said slapping the ground from his cross legged position.
I rolled my eyes. I didn't know why he bothered to try and blame Miku for disobeying me when it had obviously been him who had disobeyed me. I didn't much care though. I then yawned and sat back. I had noticed that part way through Koga's conversation with me Shippo, Kirara, Sango, and Miroku had fallen asleep. Sesshomaru was once again resting and Inuyasha's head was sinking. Koga was also resting. I yawned again and let my head rest on Miku's shoulder as I drifted off a bit.
.--.
I woke to someone shaking me. I sat up quickly almost pulling my sword free. I stopped and relaxed as I saw it was Sesshomaru.
"What 'sup?" I asked.
"Naraku."
I straightened. The whole group stood ready. Naraku was walking towards us. He was chuckling darkly. Everyone clutched their weapons. All our eyes widened as, as he got closer all his miasma gathered in his hands forming a deep purple sword. It almost resembled Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. He slashed it and waves of miasma hit my barrier. I screamed. Everyone looked at me. Naraku wasn't trying to destroy my barrier, he was some how using my barrier against me. His miasma tried to taint my barrier which was connected to my powers. It hurt like hell. I screamed as another wave hit my barrier.
"I have to let my barrier go." I said.
Tears threatened to leak from my eyes as the pain washed over me. Everyone nodded. I let the barrier disintegrate. Instantly everyone jumped away and released their weapons. Naraku was a bit startled. But then he deflected the weapons with his sword. I took a deep breath. Then I grinned. I had learned a very nifty trick with my powers and now was time to try it out. I let my miko powers shroud me. Haki and Miku blinked.
"Where did you go?" Haki asked sharply.
"Right here." I whispered.
They looked to where my voice came but their eyes passed over me. I grinned. It was an invisibility barrier I had thrown around myself. I drew my sword and silently walked towards Naraku. The others were battling the demon horde and Kagura, Kanna, and Kohaku. I dodged everyone silently. Kohaku didn't even know I was coming up behind him. Naraku was battling him and seemed to contemplate whether or not to kill him. I let my barrier drop when I was behind the slayer boy. Sesshomaru's eyes only showed the tiniest bit of surprise. I slid my sword up Kohaku's back. I grabbed the jewel shard as it flew out. Kohaku crumpled. I looked at Sesshomaru. He sheathed his Tokijin and pulled his Tensaiga out. He swiped it over Kohaku and his wound healed and he breathed again.
"Sango!" I called.
Sango who was near jumped beside me.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Someone is here for you."
Her eyes widened as they rested on Kohaku who sat up and blinked. She grabbed his hand and helped him. She had tears in her eyes, Kohaku also did.
"Tears later." I said.
They nodded and glanced at me. They blinked. I already had my invisibility barrier on. I swept off towards Naraku. I dodged stray attacks and silently advanced on the chuckling Naraku. I reappeared behind him. I quickly sheathed my sword in his heart. Everything around the field froze.
"Hell will be busy today. I hope the devil has a cell waiting for you because you will be joining him in two minutes."
Naraku looked back at me with wide eyes. His face wasn't laughing and his eyes held surprise but no malice of hate. That surprised me. I just gave him a small real smile. His eyes widened.
"Sorry." I whispered.
His eyes widened even more. I let all my miko powers go. They rippled from me in waves. Some entered Naraku through my sword. I mercifully purified him quickly. He turned to dust and all the enemy demons my powers touched screamed and disintegrated. Then I grabbed the falling Shikon No Tama. Koga's shards were also in my hand from earlier. I had taken them without his noticing somehow. A bright flash of pink, burst from the jewel.
Everyone shielded their eyes. When we opened our eyes we blinked. The recently torn up field was healthy and alive again. Kagura and Kanna stood gaping. Then they laughed. Kagura pulled a feather from her hair and her and Kanna shot into the sky. They dropped Kanna's mirror and Kagura's fan on me before they vanished. I grabbed the items and tucked them in my sash. The others all stood starring at me. I hung the Shikon No Tama around my neck. Suddenly Kikyo stepped out from behind a tree. She ran at Inuyasha. Everyone watched as she wrapped her arms around Inuyasha and laughed happily.
"My soul is back!"
Everyone looked from her to me.
"I never had half her soul. I am not her reincarnation. I am Midoriko's reincarnation. Half of her soul was just stuck in the Shikon No Tama."
Everyone starred a moment. Then Inuyasha let out a laugh and swung Kikyo around hugging her tight. I smiled brightly at the two and clapped. They glanced at me. I gave them a sign of my approval by grinning truly and giving then the thumbs-up. They shot me smiles and Inuyasha dipped Kikyo kissing her. I giggled and turned to the others. Sango was strangling her brother in a hug and Miroku and Shippo were standing by the two laughing. I saw Miroku's sacred beads lying on the ground. Kirara mewed and ran around her two masters. Sesshomaru gave me a small smile then he sheathed his sword. He just stood. Haki and Miku leapt to me. They both wrapped their arms around me hugging me. I laughed as the twirled me around.
.--.
Somehow everyone calmed. Inuyasha immediately announced and Kikyo were going to be mates. Sango and Miroku also announced they would wed. Then Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, Shippo, and Kirara flew off back to the slayer village. After a long chat with Koga he ran off moping. He had agreed to stop chasing me. Then we had returned to Kaede's village. She had been happy to see me. Then she and Kikyo started to chat and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sat down under my watchful eye and sorted out their differences. Then Sesshomaru headed back to the west.
I had told the others I had felt the well seal the moment I had completed the jewel. They all gave me their sympathy. I grinned it off. I liked the feudal era. And I could always see my family if I lived. I planed to live too. Then after that I had promise to visit before Haki, Miku, and I had trotted off. Before I had returned to my pack I had visited Youko. He was one of my best friends and he had asked me to tell him if we won. I chatted with him a while. Then I headed off to my pack, my home.
500 YEARS LATER
KURAMA:
We all stood in Koenma's office. I sighed as Youko inside my mind started to rant on about nonsense. Hiei stood beside me looking annoyed, while Yusuke and Kuwabara looked eager for our next mission.
"What is it this time toddler?" Yusuke asked.
"I TOLD YOU I AM NOT A TODDLER!" Koenma yelled. "And your mission is to find a certain wolf youkai and bring her here. I need to speak to her."
"What does she look like?" Kuwabara asked.
Koenma held up a photograph of a woman with long raven black hair, almost black eyes, black and red ears, a black and red tail, and modern clothes. She was walking up some shrine stairs.
"She disobeyed a law and we need to talk to her. Her name is Kagome. She lives on sunset shrine. I think she is somewhere downtown Tokyo at the moment." Koenma said.
We all nodded and Yusuke took the picture. Suddenly I noticed Youko wasn't in my mind. I found a corner of my mind and realized he had locked himself away for the moment. I scowled. He didn't do that often.
~The fox actually shut up and locked himself away?~ Hiei asked telepathically.
-Yeah, I don't know why though.-
~Hn~
I turned back to Botan who walked into the room with her oar. She grinned and we were falling. I guessed she had opened a portal under us. I sighed and Hiei and I touched the ground gracefully while Yusuke and Kuwabara fell in a heap. They were on their feet in record time though.
"Should we spilt up?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yes." Yusuke said.
We all nodded and in the blink of an eye we were all out of sight heading off in different directions.
KAGOME:
I skipped down the streets. I had all my illusions on so I looked like a normal girl. I sighed sadly. I had just gone and visited my mother and Souta a while ago. Grandpa had died years ago. My mother was also leaving with Souta to go to England to live with her sister. A year ago today I had jumped down the well for the last time. I had lived the five hundred years easily. I still led my pack. We stayed in the Makai but I had come to visit my family. Four hundred years ago King Enma had set up the barriers separating the three worlds. I grinned. I had even helped him. I had used my huge amount of miko powers to make sure no demons could break the barriers. He was very grateful. When the Makai had been set up the four lords of the south, north, west, and east had battled to see who would be king. (Give you three guesses who won and the first two don't count.)
Sesshomaru won. He took the role as King of the Makai. The other three lords had died. Besides that Koga had mated with Ayame and now had pups. Kikyo and Inuyasha and mated and Kikyo had somehow become a half demon like Inuyasha. The two lived at Sesshomaru's castle. Inuyasha was his brother and his information department. Shippo had grown up and worked as Sesshomaru's master spy. Kagura and Kanna had also joined the others at Sesshomaru's castle as a few of his advisors. Koga was his general, Jaken was still his vassal, and Rin, who had drank a special potion and became a cat demon, was Shippo's mate.
Inuyasha and Kikyo had a daughter and son. Shippo and Rin also had a son. Neither Kagura or Kanna had gotten a mate. Sesshomaru and I hadn't either. Many chased me but I refused all proposals. I sighed. I had lived five hundred years and was still a virgin. But that had some perks. The longer a female wolf demon stayed a virgin the more powerful they would be. Female virgin wolves were considered the best and fiercest hunters. Once they mated they calmed down. So I was still the strongest wolf demon around. Even when I mated I would be the strongest. I also was Sesshomaru's most trusted advisor and I was also in control of all his northern and eastern lands though. Not many knew of me though. I had kept my identity quite secret.
I sighed as I remembered Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku. They had restored the slayer village and lived long. Miroku and Sango had had ten children who all grew up strong. Kohaku married a woman from a ninja village but had no children. Sango and Miroku had lived to a ripe old age. I grinned when I remembered after the barriers dividing the three worlds. The two had started to work for Enma as spirit warriors who guarded the underworld. I could visit them when ever I wanted now. Some of their decedents were still alive and were all strong, some lecherous, and some even had spirituals powers. Most of their decedents all worked for Sesshomaru in the Makai.
I sighed slightly and glided around a person on the sidewalk. I looked up and saw the sun was getting low. It had to be at least dinner. I was planning on looking around a while then heading back to my pack. I rarely left the Makai because I was always busy. As Sesshomaru's most trusted advisor and ruler of the north and east which meant I had a lot of advising and paper work to do. And I had to look out for all the demons in the north and east. I sighed. I wonder how Sesshomaru had ever tricked me into taking the job. Then I remembered he had threatened me. No tricks, he had just out right threatened me.
I giggled slightly. Then my mind drifted to Youko. He had been my friend for hundreds of years. Then I had heard he had died. I sniffed slightly. I had liked him a lot and then he had died without even saying goodbye. When I died or had time I was going to find him in the underworld and beat him to a pulp. I grinned evilly as I thought of all the stuff I could do to him.
"He'll pay." I chuckled under my breath.
.--.
Youko, in Kurama's mind, sneezed. 'Someone's talking about me.' He thought.
.--.
I continued to walk down the street. Then I saw the fast food place me and my friends had always stopped at on the way home from school. I smiled softly. Then I skipped past. I was stopped dead in my tracks by identical squeals a second later though. I turned to see Yura, Eri, and Ayumi. They waved and I almost groaned. I put on a smile though and waved back. At least I had had a five hundred year break from them, even if to them it had only been a year. They jogged up to me.
"Hi guys." I said.
"Kagome where have you been?!" Yura asked.
"Your mother said you moved to the country because of your declining health." Ayumi said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Kagome?" Someone asked.
We all saw Hojo riding towards us on a bike.
"Ooh. Bye Kagome." Yura and Eri squealed.
They dragged Ayumi off. I sighed. Ayumi was the only intelligent and nice one among the three. I turned to Hojo and my smile slipped a bit but he didn't notice.
"Kagome it is so good to see you well."
I nodded and smiled through my teeth.
"Well I'm glad to see you back."
With my miko powers I could tell he wasn't as pure anymore and he was definitely not a virgin so he had to have another girl. I wanted to sigh; with relief he had found someone.
"I'm sorry Hojo but you don't interest me anymore." I said bluntly.
He blinked and scowled suddenly.
"Really?" He asked in almost disbelief.
"Really." I said.
He almost let a smile slip. I could smell his relief.
"Well bye Hojo."
I turned and skipped off as his 'bye' followed. I just walked down the streets looking around. Suddenly a boy was in front of me. He had slicked back black hair and a green outfit. He was grinning. I could sense large amounts of spiritual power in him.
"Kagome?" He asked.
"Yes." I said slowly.
"You are under arrest." He said.
I blinked.
"By who's orders?"
"By Koenma's orders."
I blinked. I doubted the king of the spirit world would ever arrest me.
"Jr.?" I asked.
He nodded. I sighed.
"Sorry but I'm busy right now, maybe we can talk later."
He scowled. I narrowed my eyes dangerously as I felt a human coming up behind me. He also had huge spiritual power. I spun and caught sight of a guy with slick back orange Elvis hair. I cursed a third time as I felt a strong demon come up beside me. I glanced at a short guy with black spiky hair with a white starburst. I could sense he was a forbidden child. Hiei if I remembered some papers I had done correctly.
"Come with us onna and you won't get hurt." He said.
I scowled. I now realized most of the street was empty. They had waited till I was away from witnesses.
"I am not going to listen to listen to you children. Now move out of my way lads or I'll hurt you."
I saw all their eyes twitch at children and lads. Hiei drew a sword and the black haired guy raised his hand like a gun. The orange haired guy suddenly made a sword out of spiritual powers. They all lunged. I dodged both swords and a small blast of powers. I continue to dodge not even bothering to attack. They all starred at me in disbelief as I continued to dodge them all. Suddenly a red headed guy jumped into the fray with a rose whip. My eyes widened. I had only seen one other with that whip. I also sensed a silver kitsune spirit in him. I froze starring at him.
"Youko-"
I was cut off by a sharp to my head with the butt of a sword. Then I fell as darkness swirled around me.
KURAMA:
All our eyes widened. Before Hiei had knocked her out she had whispered Youko's name.
-Youko! - I called in my mind.
He did not answer.
~Explain how she knows you fox~ Hiei growled.
Youko still did not answer. I looked at the girl lying on the ground.
~She is skilled~ Hiei grudgingly admitted. ~If she had not seemed so surprised by your appearance I doubt we would have got her~
I nodded in agreement.
"Well she's a looker." Yusuke whistled as he picked the girl up.
Kuwabara looked at her sighing in wonder. Then Yusuke pulled his communicator out of his pocket and contacted Botan. Before we knew it we were falling through a blue portal. We landed inside Koenma's office. He looked at us then the grinned.
"Good job."
KAGOME:
I woke and suppressed a groan. I opened my eyes but clenched them shut again at the sudden light. I sat straight up and opened my eyes. I saw that I was on a floor in a room. Off to the side, stood the four, who had caught me. I glanced at the boy Youko was in. But then I glanced away. It was because of my surprise at seeing him that I was in this mess. I let my illusions drop. My tail twitched with annoyance, the same with my ears. I spotted a toddler sitting behind a desk. He had a soother and a red outfit. On his hat was printed Jr. 'Koenma Jr.' I summarized. I tried to stand but the shackles around my hands and feet stopped me. I growled deep in my throat. 'How dare they shackle me?!'
"Kagome-" Koenma started.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You are arrested for unauthorized time travel. You will be imprisoned for two hundred year and the Shikon No Tama shall be taken by us for safe keeping."
I let out a throaty growl of amusement.
"You will keep it safe? I am the only one who can keep it pure."
"Kikyo, the Makai king's sister-in-law, will keep it pure and safe."
I let a giggle escape. I wondered if he had run this by her. I had offered it back to her five hundred years ago and she had said she never wanted to see the thing again because it was what had caused her misery. Koenma scowled at me.
"Yusuke will you please get the pink jewel around her neck."
The black haired boy, now named Yusuke, stepped forwards. I let out a growl. He shivered and seemed to have doubts. He stepped forwards again. I growled a low warning and glared at him. He stepped back flinching.
"Fine, you get it Kurama."
Yusuke stepped back and Kurama stepped forwards.
"So Youko…. I thought you were dead." I said.
Kurama froze and the other's eyes widened. I just watched him as he stepped forwards again.
"Take another step and I will hurt you so bad." I said dangerously.
Kurama froze.
"I'm tired of this." I pouted.
I let my miko powers slip into the shackles. The shackles were made of special metal that couldn't be broken by brute strength or youki. But spiritual powers were another thing. The shackles burst and melted from my pink miko powers. Everyone gaped and stepped back as I stood up. I dusted myself off. Then I smiled at Koenma.
"You think those measly shackles could hold me?"
"Yes." Yusuke muttered.
"How come you have miko powers? You are a demon!" Koenma said.
"I'm a special miko demon." I yawned.
"How do you know Youko?" Kurama asked slowly.
"I've known him for hundreds of years."
"Hundreds?" Yusuke gaped.
"Five hundred years to be exact." I said.
"That's why she called us children and lads." Yusuke mumbled to himself.
"You're five hundred years old?" Koenma choked. "I only found you recently."
"I am very good at not being found." I purred.
"But the king of the Makai would have found you if you had hid in the Makai and I would have found you if you had hid in the Rekai." Koenma said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Of course Sesshomaru knew about me."
"The king knows you?" He asked gaping.
"Of course. I am his most trusted advisor and ruler of the northern and eastern lands."
Kurama and Hiei had wide eyes while the rest were gaping. I yawned then grinned.
"So brother I see you are doing well."
He started to splutter.
"B-broth-brother?" He asked. "I'm not your brother."
"Actually yes you are."
Everyone looked up at king Enma who had just entered the room.
"Father." Koenma breathed.
"Daddy!" I squealed and launched at Enma.
Everyone gaped as I latched into Enma's arm.
"Have you missed me?" I asked
"Very much. You never visit anymore Kagome. I have been very busy." Enma smiled.
"She's my sister?" Koenma strangled out.
"Yes." Enma sighed.
"When?" Was all Koenma could ask.
"Well she was born sixteen years ago. You are the first born but she is the oldest since she traveled to the past and stayed their." Enma said.
"You never told me about a brother either. I just found out about him by myself." I pouted.
"I know Kagome, I'm sorry it just slipped my mind." Enma said.
"So I have a sister." Koenma said.
He sat back still gaping.
"What don't you like me?"
I made a sob and pretended to cry.
"No! I do like you I just haven't got to know you." Koenma said quickly.
~She is faking it~ Hiei said to Kurama in amusement.
-I know- Kurama smirked.
"You made her cry!" Kuwabara said.
He walked up to the girl and held her hands as she sniffed.
"Would you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
Before anyone could blink Kuwabara was sliding down the wall. Suddenly Kagome spun and smirked at Kurama. Kurama got a very bad feeling and took a step back. Kagome started to advance on him still smirking sadistically. Kurama backed up till he hit the wall.
"So, Youko hid in you."
Kurama gulped at her tone.
"You better pull him out because I have a score to settle with him."
Enma rested a hand on her shoulder.
"Leave Shuichi alone, Kagome. Youko's spirit is just trapped in him."
Kurama almost sighed in relief as Kagome lost a murderous aurora.
"But how dare Youko die on me?! He didn't even say goodbye! He just died! I have already sworn to beat him to the verge of death for that."
Kurama gulped again. Kagome stepped away from Enma and advanced. When she was two feet away she got an evil look. She seemed to be twenty feet tall as she looked at the nervous Kurama.
"Oh this is going to be so good." So she chuckled rubbing her hands together.
--Hey red, let me out. I might be able to talk some sense into her-- Youko said.
-There you are! Where have you been?-
--Well I didn't want to meet Kagome under these circumstances-- He sniffed.
~You better hurry fox.~ Hiei snorted as Kagome stepped closer.
Suddenly Kurama changed to the silver kitsune. Everyone blinked as the silver fox smirked and stepped around Kagome. Kagome had frozen. Then she got watery eyes. She let a sob escape. Youko wrapped his arms around her. Everyone just sort of watched.
"I missed you so much Youko." She sobbed.
"I missed you to Kagome." He purred.
"You are the same as always." She gave him a water grin.
"I'm trying to make you feel better." He said seductively.
"No you're trying to seduce me."
"Can't I do both?" He grinned.
He fell back doubling over but still grinning. He clutched his stomach where Kagome had elbowed him.
"You can go ahead and try to hurt me but I think you should leave red out of this."
"Fine, I'll just beat you to a pulp."
Youko dodged her fist and wrapped his arms around her from behind. They all knew Kagome wasn't trying of Youko would already be hurt.
"Kagome, guests coming." Enma interrupted.
A red portal opened up and two wolf demons popped out.
"Hey Miku, Haki." Kagome chirped.
"Where have you been young lady?! You are late!" Haki growled. "AND YOU FOX! LET HER GO!"
Kurama smirked and pulled Kagome closer. Haki just stalked over and ripped Kagome from his grasp.
"Don't you dare touch our leader without her permission." Haki snarled.
"You lead a wolf clan?" Koenma asked.
"Yes." Kagome grinned.
"Who are you shorty?" Haki asked Koenma.
"I'm the prince of the underworld and Kagome's brother."
"You didn't tell us you had a brother." Miku said coolly.
"I forgot to tell you." Kagome yawned.
"Well Lord Sesshomaru needs you." Miku said.
"What does he want?" Kagome sighed.
Miku shrugged.
"He said if you don't come see him he'll hunt you down."
Everyone saw Kagome's tail ruffle indignity.
"I'd like to see him try." She sniffed.
"He also has Shippo and Inuyasha."
Kagome just sniffed again.
"Well see you dad. Bye, everyone else." Kagome said.
Suddenly another red portal opened. The three wolves stepped through leaving the group behind. Youko immediately turned back into Shuichi.
"Well I think there is a story we need to hear." Konema said to his dad.
Enma sighed. Then he started to explain how he had met her mother and had her, how she had gone to the past, and some of the important things she had been doing for the last couple years. He said she would have to tell them the details and that they would see her again because of Youko. Then the king left and Koenma Jr. sent them on a mission.
.--.
Kagome allowed the two wolves to drag her down the halls of the castle towards Sesshomaru's study. They entered and threw her in then stood beside the door. Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes at Sesshomaru who smirked.
"What did you need?" She asked crossing her arms.
"You should show more respect."
"Haven't and won't. Now come on, what do you need?" She snorted.
"I was just going to tell you I was giving you a break."
Kagome gaped at him.
"A break?" She sniffed happily.
"Yes."
"HOORAY!"
"Be quiet. That hurts my ears."
"Whatever."
"Inuyasha will take over while you are gone…"
"NO!"
"Excuse me?"
"No. Let Kagura take over for me."
"….okay. Miku and Haki can accompany if you wish or help Kagura."
Kagome just grinned.
"Now get out of my sight for the day before I change my mind."
"Thank you Fluffykins."
Sesshomaru's eye started to twitch.
"That's a nasty twitch."
He muttered about taking deep breathes.
"Yes that's it. When angry take deep breaths." Kagome taunted.
She grinned as she dodged a knife hurled at her head. Haki cried out and ducked just in time too. Kagome skipped from the room and opened a portal leaving Miku and Haki behind. She had something to do. She appeared in a cave deep in the northern mountains of the Makai. She walked to the back of the cave which took ten minutes. When she reached it she stood in front of a large lake. Crystals in the water glowed showing some rare demon fish inside the water. On the ceiling were some of the same crystals showing the cave alit.
She moved to the water and jumped to a large rock right at the center. It was smooth like a large disk. She had worked on this cave, craving it out with her miko powers. The lake had already been there but she had enlarged the cave and made it perfect. On the smooth disk rock there was a pail of red liquid and a brush. She dipped the brush in the liquid; blood, her blood. She started to draw symbols and runes on the rock in a pattern. It had taken a lot of research and practice to learn how to do it and how to perform this particular summoning.
After an hour the runes and symbols where finished. Kagome wiped her brow and sighed. She pulled her sword free. She jammed it in the middle of the runes. Then she jumped onto a smaller round stone pillar in the water, five feet from the larger on. She stood there and slapped her hands together as in a prayer. She took a deep summoned her miko powers and youki. She let it swirl around her. Then she moved it to the center stone. She let it spin around the runes and symbols on the rock. . It started to spin faster, becoming brighter and stronger. With a high pitched howl there was a flash of light. Kagome blinked the light away and looked back to the center of the rock.
She averted her eyes from the naked form of Naraku. Yes, Naraku. She had summoned him back from the dead. A year after she had killed him she had realize in her moment of regret for killing him she had attached his soul to her sword. He had witnessed everything her sword had and had had his soul stuck in it. Kind of like Sounga. She could have sent him straight to the underworld instead of making him a body, but she had been too kind. She sighed. She moved to the cave floor and grabbed the clothes she had brought. She jumped back next to Naraku and dropped the clothes on him.
He groaned and his eyes fluttered open. She turned her back on him. He didn't ask any questions. He would already know the answer since he had seen everything from the sword, including the ritual. He cleared his throat and she turned around. He stood up wearing a pair of deep purple yukata. Over the shirt was a patterned blue vest and at his waist was a deep blue sash. She also threw him a blue ribbon. He held his mass of black wavy curls back. He looked the same as always. He looked her over. Then he bowed his head.
"I owe you some thanks."
She gave him a lopsided smile.
"Now I can let you wander the Makai or you can stay with me as an advisor."
"I'll stay with you." He sighed.
"You seem to have grown wiser and have some more patience."
"Being stuck as a sword for five hundred years can help that a little." He rolled his eyes.
She smirked and motioned him to follow her. She grabbed her sword, stuffing it in her scabbard before walking back to the mouth of the cave where she opened a portal. They both stepped through to appear in the courtyard of the northern and eastern castle, her castle. It wasn't as large as Sesshomaru's but was a good size. The maids didn't even give the two a second glance as they walked down the halls.
"Hungry?" Kagome asked.
"Famished."
She led him to the kitchen and they grabbed some breakfast. She noted she had spent all night with Koenma, Sesshomaru, and in the cave. Luckily demons didn't need much sleep. She led Naraku towards her study. She already knew Kagura would be there, starting on the paperwork for her. Kagura worked sort of as a secretary for her, and as she was taking her place she would be there. Kagome slid the door open and the two stepped in. Sure enough Kagura sat at the desk signing some papers. Kagome grinned as Kagura turned and grinned at her. Then Kagura froze. Her mouth fell open. She rubbed her eyes and continued to stare at Naraku. She quickly rose ready to whip her fan out.
"He's with me." Kagome said.
"But that's Naraku."
"Yes."
Kagura went to say something but Kagome just grabbed a bag that was on one of the shelves and dragged Naraku from the room. He smiled softly at Kagura, who looked ready to faint
"Don't tell the others. Or I will hurt you." Kagome said as they left the room.
Kagome led a smiling Naraku down the halls. She could smell his happiness. He was quite glad to be out of the sword. Kagome grabbed a few more things then she opened a portal to her shrine. The two stepped out and Kagome led Naraku into the house. She pointed him to her brother's old room. He gave a nod. Kagome settled in her old room.
