It was a simple trade, when you boiled it down. She wanted information, and potentially more, now given an insight into kitsune culture. Youko wanted a toy to wave in front of his mother, at least briefly.

"It isn't permanent is it? I still have a home to go to." She asked.
"You can return to your village after the clan meeting."
Kagome was already nodding. "Okay."
"Okay?" Youko leaned forward again. "You are agreeing?"
"If anything you'll actually be helping me. I've been trying to control my…abilities, for years. I just need to add one more condition."
His face was instantly suspicious. "What?"
"You said kitsune's are collectors of rare artifacts?"
Youko nodded. Kagome continued. "Well I happen to be hunting something pretty rare, and I need to know that you won't try to steal it."
Inuyasha's definitely right about this much…the jewel comes first.
