Disclaimer: I don't own any of Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho Characters but, the OC's are mine.
Author's note: This is my first fic so when you give a review of my story all that I ask is that you please be kind and gentle with me. I have been reading a lot of the stories on and love crossovers and especially the ones involving Kurama/Kagome, Youko/Kagome, Kuronue/Kagome and Seeshomaru/Kagome and many others. So, for my first fan fiction story I was inspired to write an Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho Crossover which is entitled "A Beautiful Miko a Fox and the Meadow of Desire." This will be a Youko/Kagome and Kurama/Kagome pairing so just sit back and relax, and enjoy the story.
Summary: The battle with Naraku is finally over he was defeated and destroyed along with all of his incarnations and the Shikon on Tama is complete and Kagome has purified it; and yet once again Kagome and Inuyasha have gotten into another heated argument once again; because once again she has caught Inuyasha with the dead miko Kikiyo but unlike all of the other times this time in a very compromising position. Kagome is heartbroken, hurt, angry and completely betrayed and humiliated after she heard and saw Inuyasha in the forest holding Kikiyo\ he asked Kikiyo to be his mate, she saw them kissing and getting undressed and then saw Inuyasha pick up a very naked Kikiyo and lay her on the forest floor. Of course Kagome didn't stick around to watch what would happen next because 1 she felt like someone had just ripped her heart out and 2 by Inuyasha's actions it was plain to see that whatever future she wanted to have with him would never be, could never be and it was over because he never really loved her way that she loved him and Kikiyo always had Inuyasha's heart even though she had pinned him to the God Tree with her arrow. But don't grieve for Kagome because her destiny is about to be changed by a certain King of Thieves and Silver Sprit Fox (Kitsune) named Youko Kurama and an encounter at a hot springs and beautiful meadow full flowers and magic. Plus she finds out that she isn't really Kikiyo's reincarnation but, Midoriko's daughter instead; and on top of all that she finds out about her demon heritage and how she is the last of the Crystal Kitsune Clan; the foxes who controlled all of the elements.
VixenKitsune147 now presents the story A Beautiful Miko a Fox and the Meadow of Desire.
A Beautiful Miko a Fox and the Meadow of Desire
Chapter 5 Kagome's True Heritage, a Fiery Transformation and Youko's Big Surprise
(Part 3 Some Private Girl Talk and Heartfelt Confessions and Kagome's Mild Jealousy)
Recap/Last Time: Yomi gets mad and stomps off from Youko and Kuronue. Kuronue snapped to his senses and has sobered up and has a strange look on his face. And then he drags his friend Youko to his room so the two of them can talk in private.
"Youko, this sounds serious I've never known you to turn down a celebration after such a big heist are you falling for this miko. How did you survive this encounter without getting purified by her?" Kuronue asked.
"It is serious my friend. I think I'm falling in love with her and all I can think about is her and so, I really don't feel like partying tonight. Oh, and as far as how I survived being purified by her; I'm a fox did you forget I just used my kitsune seduction on her to keep her disarmed and under my spell." Youko said, smirking slightly.
"If you don't mind me asking, who is this fair maiden who has set your heart aflame?" Kuronue asked slyly.
"Her name is Kagome and she has the body of a goddess, the looks of a tennyo (celestial maiden) and curves that would make any demon or man swoon." Youko said as his golden eyes sparkled.
"Wow! She sounds really nice, Youko; when can I meet this woman who holds my best friend's heart so closely?" said Kuronue with a smirk on his face.
"Soon, my friend I promise very soon, but just remember that she's mine, okay." said Youko smirking as well.
"Youko, I have no problem with respecting boundaries but Yomi on the other hand could be a problem." said Kuronue.
"Don't worry about that old goat Yomi he wouldn't dare defy me and touch what is mine especially if he values his life." Youko growled as his eyes flashed red possessively.
Kuronue flinched and said "It sounds like you want to make this miko your mate if you're already referring to Kagome as yours, am I right?"
"Kuronue, you know me and when something is truly mine I don't share and silver kitsune's don't share mates they mate for life." said Youko seriously.
"Well old friend I must be turning in for the night because there is much to do in the morning and from the looks of it I might be the only who won't be hung-over tomorrow morning to go scouting for our next big heist." Kuronue grinned.
"Goodnight, old friend see you in the morning because during the evening I have to meet Kagome and spend some time with her." said Youko.
Author's P.O.V.
Youko walks out of Kuronue's bedroom down the hall to his bedroom. He locks his door and climbs into his bed and falls into a deep peaceful sleep with a very contented look on his face
"Talking"
"Midoriko talking"
The Next Moring
Kagome's P.O.V.
Wow! That was some dream that I had last nice and it was so weird. I better get up and check on Shippo and get breakfast started for everyone.
"Good morning, Kaede, Sango, Shippo." said Kagome.
"Good morning, child." said Kaede.
"Good morning, Kagome." said Sango.
Good morning, Momma." said Shippo.
"How are ye feeling this morning, Kagome?" asked Kaede.
"I'm fine but how is Shippo doing?" Kagome asked.
"He's doing better and his fever is gone." Kaede replied.
Kagome nodded, she then turned to Sango and asked "Can I talk to you in private for a moment?"
"Sure, Kagome because it looks like you've got a lot on your mind and you know that I'm always here for you if you need to talk." said Sango.
"Thanks, Sango." Kagome smiled.
Author's P.O.V.
Kagome and Sango walked out of the campsite and deep into the forest out of earshot of the still sleeping nosey perverted monk Miroku and a still knocked out hanyou Inuyasha so that their conversation wouldn't be heard should they awaken.
"What did you want to talk about Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Before I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone. Especially Miroku and Inuyasha." said Kagome.
"Why would I tell Inuyasha anything and after what happened last night Miroku wouldn't say a word for fear of getting on your bad side." Sango spoke with a slight smirk. "I could hear what was going on from Kaede's hut." She explained at the confused look Kagome shot at her.
Kagome's mouth opened in an 'O' shape before she started to explain. "While I was out walking yesterday through the forest trying to find a hot springs I got to this clearing." Kagome said, "Then a hot spring appeared out of nowhere, and I didn't even question it because it felt like I had been walking for hours and I was so sore."
"Is this where you met the mysterious fox you were teasing Inuyasha about?" Sango asked.
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, It was after I finished washing myself. I was just relaxing against the edge when my miko ki went crazy. I opened my eyes and found myself staring into the eyes of a hot naked silver fox yokai."
Sango let out a gasp of shock at this. "But I wasn't afraid of him at all Sango." Kagome finished looking at her friends suddenly pale face.
"Kagome" Sango whispered, "silver foxes are known for their cruelty and if a male comes across a human female they usually try to seduce them and then rut with them in order to drain some of their life force." Kagome's eyes widened, she hadn't known that. "Fox's are vampiric creatures by nature."
"Wow" Kagome whispered, "I remember he looked into my eyes and his started to glow this eerie golden and then everything is fuzzy."
"It sounds like he was using his kitsune seduction on you." Sango said, "You could have lost your innocence last night, Kagome." She looked worriedly at her friend, who shook her head.
"I don't think so Sango." Kagome said, a small smile forming. "I wasn't able to use any of my miko powers, but he was a perfect gentleman and he didn't force me to do anything that I didn't want to."
"That's odd." Sango murmured, the contemplative look on her face quickly morphed into a grin as she turned her full attention to her friend. "So what exactly did happen, Kagome? I want all the details."
Kagome blushed a bit, "He kissed me." She said. Sango squealed quietly. "It was amazing. He was amazing." Kagome sighed dreamily, "I've never been kissed like that before Sango, not even by Inuyasha."
"It sounds like you certainly enjoyed that kiss." Sango smiled.
"Yes, I most certainly did enjoy it and oh, kami that kiss of his made me weak in the knees and it felt like fire shot all over my body the moment his lips came in contact with mine." Kagome sighed again and Sango grinned.
"Well, does Mr. Hot Lips have a name?" Sango said teasingly.
"His name is Youko Kurama." said Kagome.
Sango's eyes went wide as she said "You mean Youko Kurama the King of Thieves?"
"Yeah," Kagome said, "Have you heard of him?"
"The Demon Slayers used to talk a lot about his exploits in our village." Sango replied.
"What exploits would they talk about exactly, Sango?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Well, they say that Youko and his band of thieves robbed the Southern Lord castle during a royal ball that took place at the castle." Sango explained, "It's believed that he seduced the lord's daughter into telling him the secret location of the treasure room, and they say that he's bedded more demonesses than any other in just one night".Kagome's eyes narrowed.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked.
"It's nothing, Sango." Kagome replied
"You're lying Kagome, and if I didn't know any better I'd swear you were jealous of the Southern Lord's daughter and that Youko was the one that seduced her." Sango said.
"No, I'm not jealous of her in the least, Kagome replied with a huff." Besides that was in the past so, I don't really see her as a threat, anyway."
"Oh, my kami you're falling in love with him." Sango breathed, shocked.
"No, I'm not." Kagome denied.
"Yes, you are!" Sango gasped, "It's written all over your face and I can see it in your eyes and the way that they sparkled and lit up when you talked about him before you even mentioned his name to me." Sango was smiling widely now.
Kagome sighed. "Okay, Sango I'll admit it I'm falling love with him and I could seriously consider having a future with Youko." Kagome said
"Wow! It sounds like you quite smitten with, Youko aren't you, Kagome?" Sango said, smiling softly. Her friends deserved some happiness.
"Yes, I guess that you could say that I am smitten with him but how could I not be because he showed me such tenderness and concern yesterday as well as last night, Sango." Kagome sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time, but there was a happy expression on her face.
"What do you mean, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Youko actually cares for me because he ended his kitsune seduction when I started to cry." Kagome explained, "And unlike Inuyasha he didn't see my tears as sign of weakness." Sango smiled at her friend. "You know what else he did Sango?"
"What, Kagome?" Sango said as another smile came across her face.
"He wiped my tears away and comforted me and he held me." Kagome spoke softly. "He held me in his arms in a warm embrace it was so tender and so serene I actually felt safe in his arms."
"It sounds like you've found the love of your life little sister." Sango murmured.
"Sango, I tell you I've never met anyone quite like him" Kagome smiled, "Youko is definitely one in a million and he's definitely a keeper."
"Kagome, I really envy you because at least the man or should I say demon you have feelings for doesn't always try to cop a feel or grab your butt all of the time." Sango laughed.
Kagome giggled, "Oh, Sango I know that Miroku is a pervert at times and a major flirt, but I'd be willing to bet that deep down he truly loves you." She said
"Maybe you're right, Kagome." Sango sighed, "But still, I wish that he'd quit flirting with other women and admit that he loves me because I truly love him with all my heart."
"Sango, what did you say?" Kagome asked shocked.
Sango sighed "Okay, I confess I love Miroku." She sent Kagome a playful glare, "but don't you dare tell him either or else I will tell Kouga that you love him and have decided to finally become his mate." Sango threatened.
"You wouldn't dare!" Kagome gasped in horror, but she was smiling
"I would too and you know it." Sango teased.
"Sango, you are truly evil." Kagome giggled.
"Yes, I know." Sango said as she laughed evilly.
Kagome looked up "Oh Sango we should really be heading back to camp because I need to fix breakfast for everyone." Kagome said
"What's the rush Kagome?" Sango asked, "You have a date?"
"I do actually." Kagome spoke, "I promised him that I would meet him at the hot springs again today."
"You know when Inuyasha finds out you're seeing Youko he's going to flip and pitch a major temper tantrum." Sango chuckled as the two turned to head back to camp.
"Yes, I know that's why I've got to ask you to do me a favor." Kagome said.
"What do you need me to do, Kagome?" Sango asked curiously.
"Can you and Kirara keep Inuyasha distracted and occupied while I go the hot springs and meet up with Youko?" Kagome asked.
"Sure Kagome I'd be more than happy to help you and so would Kirara after what happened last night." Sango replied grinning, "I mean the last thing that I'd want is that stupid dog to spoil your chance at happiness. You can count on me and Kirara."
Meanwhile back at camp
Author's P.O.V.
Miroku has just woken up and Inuyasha is still knocked out and for the first time in months there is peace and quiet in the camp.
Miroku's P.O.V.
Lady Kagome's really got some temper and not to mention a mean right hook. Stupid Inuyasha is still knocked out. Honestly, I've never seen him so violent and the fact that he hit a child. He seriously injured poor Shippo and then he tried to hit a woman, this has truly shown me that he has no honor and what respect that I had for Inuyasha as a friend is gone. I really hope that Kagome has found someone else because by kami she deserves to be happy after all she's endured from Inuyasha for these three years. I wonder what happened to Sango and Kagome. Where could they have snuck off to this morning?
Normal P.O.V.
Kagome and Sango return to camp giggling and smiling and Kagome was blushing fiercely.
"Ah, Lady Kagome it's nice to see you this morning and Sango you look absolutely stunning." Miroku greeted suavely.
"Good morning to you to Miroku." Kagome replied
"Thank you for the complement, Miroku." Sango said as she blushed slightly
Kagome's P.O.V.
Sango is blushing now that confirms that she truly does love that pervert Miroku. I hope that he tells her soon how he truly feels about her now that Naraku is dead and Miroku's wind tunnel is gone. There is nothing that should be holding him back from telling Sango that he loves her. Honestly, I swear he's so stubborn sometime. Why can't he just open his eyes and see just how much love Sango has for him. Oh, well time to make breakfast for everyone.
Sango's P.O.V.
There he goes again complementing me. Oh, kami I'm blushing. Hopefully he didn't notice. Oh, no he did notice great now he's coming over here. He better not try to grope me this morning because I'm really getting tired of slapping him all of the time. I truly love him so much that it hurts.
Miroku's P.O.V.
Honestly I'm tired of getting slapped by Sango everyday for groping her. I know I hurt her every time I flirt with some girl or woman in the village. If I could only just tell her how I really feel. She has lost so much and went through so much pain. I don't want to lose her because we've both went through so much during our journeys together. I'm going to be on my best behavior today and not grope her, or do anything perverted and I won't flirt with any other women but Sango today.
Normal P.O.V.
Miroku suddenly embraces Sango and asks her to spend some quality time with him because he has something important to tell her later after breakfast. Kagome sees this show of affection that Miroku has displayed toward Sango and she smiles as she fills the bowls with the hot ramen for breakfast. The smell of the ramen fills the camp and then Inuyasha finally regains consciousness.
"Breakfast is ready everyone come and get it while its hot." Kagome announced.
Author's P.O.V.
Kagome quickly passes out all of the bowls of ramen and the chopsticks to both Miroku and Inuyasha and then she takes her bowl, Kaede's, and Shippo's bowl of ramen along with some chopsticks into Kaede's hut, because she's trying to avoid another confrontation with Inuyasha.
Inuyasha P.O.V.
Why is that wench Kagome going into Kaede's hut and why is she avoiding me? Oh yeah I remember now I got into a fight with Kagome last night about hitting that brat Shippo. Ouch, my back oh kami my aching head I feel like I got hit by a windstorm. I know that Kagome could be violent at times but last night she was just plain vicious. I didn't even get in a punch last night. Since when could she move so fast, dammit?
In Kaede's hut
"How are you feeling this morning, Shippo?" Kagome asked as she entered the hut.
"I feel a little better Momma." Shippo replied, "My side doesn't hurt quite as much as it did last night and thank you for staying with me, Momma." Kagome smiled and sat down beside her son.
"I'm glad that you're feeling better Shippo. I was really worried about you last night." Kagome said softly, gently moving her fingers through his hair.
"Don't worry Momma I'll be fine." Shippo reassured, "I just need to rest for a couple more days and I will be good as new." Kagome smiled.
"Kagome, can you help me pick some medicinal herbs after you finish breakfast?" Kaede asked.
"Sure, Kaede I'd be glad to help you." Kagome said as she started taking up all of the empty bowls from breakfast to wash them.
Normal P.O.V.
Kagome washed all of the bowls from breakfast and she had Sango and Kirara watch over Shippo while she and Kaede went to pick medicinal herbs together.
Later on that morning out in the forest and the field of herbs
Authors P.O.V. Kaede and Kagome are nearly finished picking medicinal herbs and they are nearly ready to head back to the village and to camp.
"Are ye ready to head back to the village yet, child." Kaede asked as she finished picking the last of the medicinal herbs careful putting them in her basket.
Kagome as wiped the sweat from her brow with the white sleeve of her school uniform and sighs." Yes, as soon as I finish picking some lantern flower and feverfew, Kaede." Kagome said.
Normal P.O.V. Soon Kaede's basket is finally packed full of healing medicinal herbs. Kagome and Kaede leave the forest and the field of herbs behind them heading back to camp and the village of Edo.
Earlier that morning at Youko's Lair
Youko the Spirit Fox awoke that morning with a dreamy and far away look in his burnished gold eyes and a very painful hard on because of the erotic dream that he had about his Dark Haired Angel Kagome last night. He stretched, yawned and wiped the sleep from his eyes with a clawed hand and got up from his comfortable bed as his very silky silver tails switched from side to side.
Youko's P.O.V. Wow! I haven't slept that great in ages and such vivid and erotic dreams I had of my dark haired angel. Kagome. I simply can't wait to see her again and kiss her petal soft lips once more. Oh, well time to get a bath and wake up my band of thieves for scouting and patrolling for our next heist that is if their not too hung over from last nights celebration.
Normal P.O.V. Youko looks down at the bulge in his white silk sleeping hakamas and shook his head muttering about his discomfort as he goes off to his private hot springs and takes a hot bath; got out of the hot springs and dries off with a fluffy towel, then puts on clean white silk hakamas and his sleeveless white silk tunic to get ready for the day ahead. As he slowly walked out of his bedroom he had to walk and maneuver very carefully down the hall of his lair so that he wouldn't step on some his band of thieves who has passed out on the floor that didn't make it to their rooms before they passed out. And as he peaked into Yomi's room he noticed a naked goat demoness who was passed out and lying on top of Yomi in a very provocative position but, to try and wake the goat demon up would have been pointless because Yomi was completely passed out and in a deep sleep. Youko knocked on the doors of rest of his band of thieves but, got no response at all from any of them because they were still passed out. Then Youko's demonic hearing picks up Kuronue's yawn as he awakens in his room.
Kuronue the Bat Demon and Youko's partner in crime and 2nd in Command has awaken, gotten up from his comfortable bed, put his long black silky hair back into a high ponytail, then unfolded his black leathery wings from around his body as he stretched them out to loosen out the kinks in them and walked to his door and opened it to find his partner Youko standing there.
"Good morning, Kuronue." Youko said as his silver silky tails switched wildly and happily.
"Good morning, Youko. Kuronue said as he stretched and then yawned loudly as fangy smirk crept upon his face.'
"I see that we're the only ones up this morning to go scouting and patrolling for a heist this morning." Youko said.
"Yes, it would seem so, Youko." said Kuronue as he shrugged his shoulders in dismay. "I'll see you later my friend as soon as I take a bath and get dressed." I will meet you in front of the lair to set out for scouting and patrol.
"Well, I'll be waiting out in front of the lair, Kuronue." Youko said chuckling at Kuronue's eagerness.
"Okay." Kuronue said as he shut his door and walked away to his personal hot springs.
About an hour later
Normal P.O.V. Kuronue had gotten his bath, dried off with his fluffy towel and has gotten dressed and he sets out to meet Youko in front of the lair.
"Are you ready to hunt for our next big heist, Kuronue?" Youko said excitedly.
"Yes, I'm ready and I hope we'll find something worth stealing and even more valuable than we did during the last job." Kuronue said as his indigo eye glistened with excitement.
"Let's go, Kuronue; because I've got to meet a certain dark-haired angel later at the hot springs after we've finished our scouting and patrolling this morning." said Youko.
Kuronue smirked at his partner Youko and chuckled inwardly. "Youko, my friend honestly I think that miko has got you wrapped around her little finger because you're never in a hurry to go scouting and patrolling for our next major heist." said Kuronue.
"Kuronue, trust me Kagome is definitely worth it and she far more valuable to me than all of the treasure that I have in my secret treasure room." said Youko.
Normal P.O.V. Kuronue rolls his eyes and then he spreads his wings and takes off in flight high in the sky while Youko transforms into his white spirit fox form and takes off in a mad dash using his demonic speed as his seven tails billowed behind him as they both head out in search of the next big heist; Kuronue taking the aerial approach and Youko covering the ground.
Meanwhile back at camp and the village
Author's P.O.V. It's pretty quiet back at camp Miroku is doing his daily meditating; Sango and Kirara are keeping watch over Shippo to make sure that Inuyasha doesn't hurt him again. And Inuyasha is sitting on his favorite branch in the goshinboku (god tree) and he's brooding and sulking as usual with his arms crossed as well as murmuring curse words under his breath. However, the silence and serenity was broken the moment Inuyasha caught sight of Kagome and Kaede returning from picking herbs.
"Feh, it's about time you got back you old hag." Inuyasha disrespectfully spat at Kaede.
"What, troubles ye, this morning Inuyasha. said Kaede.
"Why, did you have to bring that wench, Kagome back with you?" "Why can't she just go home back to her time?" Inuyasha muttered as he folded his arm brazenly across his chest.
"Inuyasha, I would think that after last night that ye would've learned ye lesson about now running that mouth of yours so much; after ye were knocked out by Kagome last night." Kaede warned sternly.
"Keh, whatever." Inuyasha said as folded his arms in front of his chest trying to look intimidating but, failing miserably.
"Inuyasha, I suggest that you close your mouth this morning unless you want to get dropped like a bad habit again." Kagome said with a threatening tone as she cracked her knuckles.
"Whatever, wench I not scared of you and you hit like a girl." said Inuyasha.
Kagome put her hands on her hips as she narrowed her eyes at Inuyasha as she went into a rant that would end all rants. "Listen up, dog boy and listen well! "My name is not wench, bitch, girl, stupid girl or any other name that you can think of its Kagome Ka-go-me you got that dog boy! Oh, one more thing Inuyasha you can Sit boy!" Kagome yelled. As Inuyasha plummeted head first out of the god tree head first to the ground making a deep crater in the ground below the god tree making the ground shake from the impact. Oof! Was the hanyous final reply before he lost consciousness.
Miroku's P.O.V. Their at it again (sighs) honestly I won't get any meditation done today if Inuyasha won't just leave Kagome alone and let the poor girl have some peace and stop taunting her all of the time.
Kagome's P.O.V. I warned Inuyasha about opening his mouth so much. Wow! It's almost time to meet Youko back at the hot spring today and I want to be on time. Well, let me go back to Kaede's hut and check on Shippo before I leave.
Author's P.O.V. Kagome quickly walks into Kaede's hut to check on Shippo before she leaves to meet Youko at the hot springs again.
"How are you are you doing, Shippo?" Kagome's brown eyes softened at the sight of her adopted kit as she kneels down by the tatami mat where he was currently laying.
"I'm getting a little better, Momma but, I'm a little tired because that fever took a lot of me last night and not to mention the nightmares that I kept having about Inuyasha last night but, Grandma Kaede watched over me and took really good care of me last night also she kept a check on my fever too." Shippo said with a foxy little smile.
"That's good, Shippo I'm glad to see that you are feeling better." Inwardly, breathing a sigh of relief; as she picked up her yellow backpack and stood up.
"Momma, where are you going?" Shippo curiously asked seeing his momma Kagome in such a hurry more than usual.
"I'm going to take a bath at the hot springs, Shippo. Kagome hesitantly said trying to dodge the curious kit's question.
Shippo however smirked sneakily and called her bluff as he quickly caught her off guard and said "But, Momma I can smell the scent of a male fox on you."
Kagome inwardly flinched and then she sighed and smiled" Okay, Shippo you've got me but, you've got to promise not to tell anyone about this." Kagome said as she leans over and whispers into Shippo's ear all about meeting Youko yesterday and also about secretly meeting him again today at the hot springs.
Author's P.O.V. Little Shippo smiles as she tells him all about Youko and how they met and Shippo whispers back in Kagome's ear and asks when can meet Youko and does this mean that he's going to be getting a new brother or sister soon. Kagome a light blush appeared on her face at Shippo's last question and on that note Kagome quickly grabbed her yellow backpack and quickly headed out of Kaede hut leaving her son laughing at her hasty retreat from said hut.
"Have a good time, Momma and don't worry I'll be fine." said Shippo.
"Don't worry, Shippo I will she yells back over her shoulder."
Normal P.O.V. Kagome heads out of camp and starts walking through the forest looking for that same clearing she saw yesterday.
Author's P.O.V. The shikon jewel around her neck begins to faintly glow and pulse and Kagome feels a tug on her soul which is leading her in the same direction as the other day.
Kagome's P.O.V. What going on with the jewel? And why is the jewel pulsing and what is this weird tug on my soul? Suddenly, I'm brought out of all of my musings when I hear a feminine voice say "Just follow the pull of your soul and the jewel now come and see for your destiny awaits you."
Meanwhile back at Youko's and Kuronue's heist scouting and patrol
Author's P.O.V. Youko and Kuronue search far and wide and found a castle hidden in the mountains during their heist scouting and patrol. And this mysterious castle belonged to the Lord of the Northern Lands Lord Kuro who was a Shadow Kitsune and who happens to be as cold and vicious as Seeshomaru if not worse. Plus out of all of the Lords of the Lands he has the toughest guards and tightest security besides the Lord of the Western Lands.
Youko's P.O.V. I and Kuronue have really found the biggest heist that our band of thieves will ever pull off of all time.
Kuronue's P.O.V. We've really got to be careful on this heist even though we have a spy on the inside of Lord Kuro's castle that helped by drawing a map of this insides of the castle and told us where all of the traps and guards were located. They say that Lord Kuro is so vicious, cruel and cold that even Lord Seeshomaru of the Western Lands pales in comparison to him. I mean Lord Seeshomaru hates humans but he hates Lord Kuro even more than he hates humans.
Normal P.O.V. After Youko and Kuronue from the air they land in a forest far from Lord Kuro's castle/. Youko takes on his humanoid form again and Kuronue lands and folds his wings.
Youko's seven tails switched excitedly "Kuronue, I going to be late if I don't leave right now and go meet Kagome at the hot springs." said Youko.
"Go ahead, Youko I'll go back to the lair and make report to our band about Lord Kuro's castle. Hopefully the lazy fools are up by now" "So, I guess I'll be seeing you back at the lair later tonight after you little rendezvous this afternoon. said Kuronue.
Meanwhile back to Kagome's Quest to Find a Hot Springs
Kagome's P.O.V. I've been walking for hours once again and it's hot as the seventh level of hell out here/ I really hope that I'll find a hot spring again soon and the tug on my soul and the pull of the still pulsing shikon no tama is starting to make me feel really uneasy. Wait a minute what's that up ahead? Finally I've found the clearing; whoa, that's same hot spring has appeared yesterday again but, wait there's something different about this place there's meadow in full bloom near it. "I'm having the strangest sense of déjà vu Wait this same meadow was in my dreams from last night.
Author's P.O.V. Kagome quickly but cautiously approaches the hot springs and the beautiful meadow. She her yellow backpack down and takes out all of her bathing essentials, /also, she lays out a light blue yukata that has silver cherry blossoms all over it and silver undergarments. She neatly folds the yukata and places it and the silver lacy undergarments on a rock near the hot spring and she quickly undresses and the places her schools uniform into her yellow backpack. She places all of her bathing essentials within hands reach near the hot spring. Then she steps into the hot springs to indulge herself in a nice hot relaxing bath.
Youko's P.O.V. Where is my beautiful dark-haired angel? I can smell her scent but I don't see her anywhere. I've been using my demonic speed trying to reach the hot spring on time so I won't be late for our next meeting. Oh, kami it's so hot out here and being aroused doesn't help things either; "Wait a minute I see the hot springs ahead but, it looks different, it smells different and there's this meadow that near it and it's in full bloom and there's this strange magic emanating from it. Ah, I found her there's my dark-hair angel and looking as enticing and delectable as ever with her skin all glistening in the sun oh Kami how I desire her.
Normal P.O.V. Kagome feels Youko's aura and glances over her shoulder as she continues bathing herself and then she spots Youko's her chocolate brown eyes gave him a come hither stare
"Come and join me Youko the water feels great." said Kagome as she seductively beckoned him to come closer.
"I would love to join you my dark-haired angel." said Youko excitedly as his tail switched. Then Youko quickly takes off his clothes and places them on the rock next to Kagome's yukata and her undergarments as he joins her in the hot spring.
Lime Alert!
Author's P.O.V Youko pulls Kagome into an intimate embrace as he nuzzles the side of her neck taking in her inviting scent. The warmth of his breath upon her neck sent chills down her spine and caused her tremble with desire inside as her womanhood moistened. Then Youko gently and slowly tilts Kagome's head upward and captures her lips with a sensuous, fiery, passionate kiss a jolt far more intense than the one yesterday passes between the silver kitsune and the miko as his tongue gently brushes against her bottom lip begging for permission for entrance to deepen the kiss to which Kagome quickly and happily obliges and responds to as their tongues battled for dominance; and of course Youko won the battle.. Kagome's toes curled and her knees buckled at the sensation that she was feeling as a moan slipped from her lips
Kagome's P.O.V. Oh kami if this keeps up I might lose more than just my heart to Youko today.
Youko's P.O.V. This is sheer ecstasy, no sweet bliss and this feels too good to let go; I truly want her to be mine forever but, I don't want to rush Kagome into something that she's not ready yet for. However, for some strange reason my beast is drawn to her I'd better mark her and stake my claim to her soon because I know that there are a lot of males who wish that they were in my place now. I don't want to lose her to another she's my treasure and won't share her with another. And she's a puzzle and mystery that I intend to unlock given time.
A warm gentle summer breeze caresses their bodies and blows through Kagome's long raven black tresses and Youko's long silver waist length tresses. Silver and Raven black lock intermingle together as they break there kiss and gaze lovingly and deeply into each others eyes.
Lime Alert, End
Youko spoke boldly and yet hesitantly still gazing into her eyes. "Kagome, I know that we've only known each other for a short time but, it feels almost as if we've known each other for years; even though we only met. I'm not trying to put a rush on you but, I was wondering would you give me the permission to court you before we become mates. Youko said slightly blushing as he averted his golden eyes briefly and then intensely held her gaze once again.
Tears of joy welled up in Kagome's eyes at that very moment as she said "I feel the same way too, Youko and I would I would be honored if you would court me and yes you have my permission to court me I would simply love that and how would you make it official?" Kagome said.
"I will place a courting mark on the place where your neck and your shoulder join and it will take on the shape of a white rose with silver edges but, when we mate and I bite you the second time there and the white rose courting mark will turn into a red rose mating mark." Youko said.
"Then mark me then, Youko I'm ready; but, will it hurt when you mark me with the courting mark?" Kagome asked.
"There will be a little pain involved with the courting mark but, not as much as it will hurt with the mating mark and kitsune mating ritual you will have to go through because with a mating mark I will have to force some of my youki into the mark." Youko warned sternly preparing her for the pain to some.
Author's P.O.V. Then Youko's fangs lengthened and he gently bites Kagome on the place where neck and left shoulder meets. She flinched in pain and then Youko, licks away the blood and beautiful white rose courting mark appeared and he gently placed a kiss upon his courting mark placing his scent there upon her skin. Suddenly, shikon jewel began to pulse once again and then suddenly both of them hear a voice which said a miko's destiny now begins. Youko and Kagome notices when a blinding light shot out of the shikon jewel and lands on the other side of the spring and a woman dressed in a white haori, red hakamas, ancient amour and sword at her left hip. Also she had cinnamon mahogany brown eyes; long black hair that went down to her butt and a pink four point star mark on her forehead.
"Midoriko?" both Kagome and Youko said in unison.
Midoriko said with great urgency in the tone her voice. "Hello, little one I'm sorry to intrude upon this happy moment but, need to talk to you, Kagome."
Midoriko then smiled at Youko and spoke with amusement tinting her voice. "Oh, hello Youko long time no see, eh? I haven't seen you since you were a little kit; my how you've grown."Oh my, goodness and so handsome."
Sheer embarrassment overtook both Kagome and Youko as they noticed of their state of undress in front of the legendary miko; they both blushed and quickly sank into the water of the hot springs until the only thing that you could see is just their heads and shoulders. Midoriko chuckled at this and thought wait till Youko finds out Kagome is his intended mate.
Youko said with mix of confusion and curiosity within his voice. "Hello, Midoriko but, how are you here I thought you were supposed to be dead and where is your daughter the little baby vixen crystal kitsune that you gave birth to? I heard that she disappeared or was killed the day that her clan was attacked by the hawk demons."
"Youko, she's not dead nor she was killed on that terrible day of the ambush and attack on her clan; In fact she still lives and she's a lot closer than you think. Midoriko said as gave a slight smirk at Youko."
"What do you mean she lives no one has seen her and I've been looking for her years and I still haven't found her yet and even though I can smell no lie in your words I'm confused by what you are saying." Youko said as he rubbed the back of his neck as he was musing over what Midoriko had said..
Kagome got a very puzzled look on her face as she too pondered the things which Midoriko stated and asked "Youko, how do you know Midoriko and since when did she have a daughter?"
"Kagome, the reason I know Midoriko is because she was a good friend of my father and mother and she had a daughter by the leader of the crystal kitsune clan and it was during the spring time she gave birth to her." said Youko.
"What was Midoriko's daughter's name, Youko?" Kagome asked.
"Her name was Kagome I think if my memory suits me correctly." Youko said.
Kagome brown eyes widened and she gasped in disbelief and shock and then Midoriko spoke once more and said "Kagome it's time that I told you about your true heritage and it's time for you to learn who you truly are. Then suddenly Midoriko made a few quick hand signs and then held her right hand up in prayer sign and then the legendary miko's hand began to glow.
Then suddenly Kagome is pulled from Youko's embrace and the hot springs and then Kagome's naked body started to float in midair. Youko growled and Kagome screamed.
"Put me down this instant, Midoriko; I don't like heights." Kagome screeched as she began to struggle.
Midoriko begins to chant in an ancient and unknown language and suddenly a spiral of light blue and silver fire shoots fourth from her hands and completely surrounds Kagome's body. And Kagome's body begins to take on an ominous and eerie glow almost as if moonlight was shining upon it.
