InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ 500 years and Back Again ❯ Rin the Heir of Makai ( Chapter 4 )

No! I own Inuyasha AND YuYu Hakusho! Ugh...who do you think I am? Of course I don't!

Okay! These are the pairings...

Yus/Kei

Kuwa/Seli(OC)

Ship/Rin

Sou/Yuk

Kag/Kur/Hiei - yes! A threesome!

Bot/Koenma

 

Rin the Heir of Makai

 

Koenma lounged in his chair, sucking on his pacifier. Finally, peace and quiet. No rampaging demons breaking through the barrier, no excess paper work… Koenma felt as if he had all the time in the world.

 

“Finally! Some peace around here…” He closed his eyes and sighed happily.

 

Unfortunately, it was short lived.

 

Hushed laughter and whispers drifted from the corridor. Koenma fervently prayed that they would pass by his door, but it was in vain because he recognized the voices.

 

“Koenma!” Two voices sang out from beyond the door before it burst open.

 

“Uh oh,” Koenma grumbled before replying. “Kagome…and Botan! Do you need anything?”

 

“Why, yes I do!” Kagome grinned. “In fact, it's about your spirit detectives!”

 

Koenma blinked. “What about them?”

 

“How long have they been serving under you?” Kagome asked.

 

“About six years?” He didn't really understand what she was getting to.

 

“Exactly! And do you know what time of year this is for them?” Kagome smiled beguilingly.

 

“No…?” Koenma looked confused. He really didn't like the look on her face.

 

“Collage! Seriously, they all just graduated High School! Collage would be next!” Kagome said.

 

“What would they need to go to Collage? They are my best Spirit Detectives! They don't have time!” Koenma wailed. “I can't loose them!”

 

Kagome flapped her hands complacently. “Yes! I know! You've only just told me about a billion times. But think about their family! I'm almost positive that they don't know anything about their jobs as Spirit detectives…and I'm positive that they would want their children to attend collage!”

 

“Well, what do you want me to do about that?!”

 

Kagome and Botan grinned. “We have just the idea for you!”

 

Koenma wasn't so sure if he wanted to agree. Even Botan had that look in her eyes. What in the world were they planning?

 

“Y-yes? What is it?”

 

“Send them to NYU!” Botan nodded. “They would benefit from it too! Not just in education either.”

 

“Oh? And how so?” Koenma knew there was something around that area that was particularly special, he just couldn't remember.

 

“Koenma! How could you forget already? Master Selina and Mya both work there! NYU is also one of the only schools where you've allowed demons to attend! Shame on you!” Botan chastised.

 

“R-Right!” How could he have forgotten? The girl Selina was particularly witty and strong, both in mind and body. Whenever the trio, Kagome, Rin and Selina were together, chaos was soon to follow.

 

“So…just tell them it's a mission! Say that they are suppose to attend this collage and keep a look out for anything unusual. Give them some information on Mya. They might want to learn from her!”

 

“…But I need them! They're MY spirit detectives!” Koenma wailed pitifully.

 

Kagome shot him a menacing glare. “Look buddy. I haven't spent a single hour with Botan without you yelling at her to go to some stupid mission. Train new ones! God knows Botan needs a break!”

 

Koenma whimpered and shivered under her threatening glare. “O-Okay…” `Dammit…what about my peace and quiet!'

Kagome and Botan smiled. “Okay…Great! We'll be going now! Be sure to imform them in EXACTLY 3 days! They'll want to stop at Genkai's and tell her the news. See ya!”

“Come on Botan…we have to get Rin!” The two squealed, hurtingKoenma's earsfrom the amount of noise they made.

The girls left in a flurry, leaving a downcast Koenma behind. He rummaged in his desk and took out a calender. He flipped through the years until he came upon the year 2005, marking a small purple star next to the date three days from now. Sighing he started to put the calender way when he froze, slowly looking back up at the date of year on his calender and choked on his pacifier.

“Holy Shit! Does she remember what year this is! Oh No…” Koenma moan piteously. “What did I do to deserve this?”

 

 

~~~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~~~~~~~

 

“Bye Mom! Love you too! We'll be sure to visit during our breaks!” Souta and Kagome echoed.

 

Their mother waved back to them and stepped into the car. Grandpa was already situated in the back seat.

 

“Okay! Have fun then! We'll be sure to send you letters. Love you!” She seemed to wipe away tears before the starting of the engine and drove off.

 

`Wow…what a morning…' Souta though, reflecting back.

 

Morning had come, breakfast had come and gone, yet Kagome still wasn't back. Souta started to get worried, but Shippou stopped him.

 

“Stop worrying! Kagome's probably off in Makai or Reikai wrecking havoc and ordering people around. She'll be back. Mmm…Rin'll be here too!” Shippou stared off into space, a grin plastered on his face.

 

Souta rolled his eyes and questioned about Rin.

 

“Her personality is just like Kagome sometimes…”Shippou told him.

 

Souta felt a pop in the air. Concentrating like Kagome told him too, he felt the presence of two people at the foot of the tree outside Kagome's window. One was obviously Kagome, the other was unknown. Giggling filled the air, filtering from the window.

 

“Cunning…wicked…but she has innocent eyes and beguiling smiles…”

 

“Umm…Shippou?” Souta broke in hesitantly.

 

The window slid open, Kagome and a teenage girl hopped though, chattering about something, most likely girlish by the way they went on about it.

 

“…both Rin and Kagome have an evil temper…”

 

“What'd you say?!” Two voiced echoed and Shippou turned to face the intruders, whom both had a somewhat murderous glint in their eyes.

 

“…but they are caring…loving…and, not to mention, downright sexy!” Shippou finished somewhat hurried.

 

Souta stared. “I think you've got the latter wrong. Kagome's downright scary sometimes!”

 

Shippou gave a weak laugh. “That too…but only when they're really angry.”

 

Kagome coughed loudly. “And you were saying…”

 

“Right…umm, we were just saying how, uh…how we wouldn't want to piss you off…?”

 

“Yea! I was just telling Souta…err…” Shippou floundered. “… What you did to Koenma the last time he did something stupid!” Shippou finished somewhat unconvincingly.

 

“Err…what did they do again?” Shippou sweat-dropped at Souta's question

 

Shippou laughed weakly. “Not much… they planted one of my creations in his stacks of papers. There was a massive explosion and papers were littered everywhere. You know, he still complains endlessly about the work he had lost…”

 

Shippou cleared his throat and continued. “Anyways, when the papers settled, it revealed Koenma…”

 

Shippou tried to stifle a laugh. Kagome rolled her eyes.

 

“I turned him into a neon pink poodle.” Kagome explained for Shippou. “It was great though…a permanent spell that's virtually undoable unless by the caster.”

 

“And you know what? Either he stayed like that forever or he had to do a week worth of `be my slave!' under Kagome and Rin's orders.” Shippou finished off. Rin and Kagome grinned wickedly, causing Shippou to blanch.

 

“Figures…” Souta managed among his bouts of laughter.

 

“Anyways…” Kagome said after Souta calmed down. “This is Rin, the heir of Makai.. Rin, meet Souta, my younger brother.”

 

“Hey Souta!” Rin smiled, face wiped of her grin which had almost caused Shippou to go into a panic and walked into the sunlight, her hands outstretched. “I finally get to meet you! I heard your going to collage with us at NYU.”

 

“Yea…” Souta shook her hand and took a look at her. So this was the girl Shippou was currently courting. She turned away from him to smile broadly at Shippou and gave him a great bear hug.

 

Later on, Shippou had reasoned that whenever Rin or Kagome smiled like that, it wasn't a good thing. Souta would have to watch out for that. It was supposedly extremely entertaining to watch the events that would occur after Rin or Kagome smiled like that, but whenever the smile was directed at you in particular, it was run or die.

 

Souta took his time observing Rin. Her large innocent-looking silver eyes shone with excitement from beneath her midnight blue bangs. She had a small ponytail coming from the side of her head, giving her already youthful appearance a touch of exuberance. The rest of her raven hair cascaded down to her shoulder blades loosely. She had nice curves and a plush, sleek black tail entwined around Shippou's own fiery red one.

 

They made a nice couple…and they looked just about to kiss when his mother's voice rang through the hallway.

 

“Kagome! Souta! Come down here please! I need to go!”

 

Kagome's eyes widened.

 

“Ah! Shippou, Rin, stop! Do that stuff later!”

 

She ushered them towards the window.

 

“Hurry! I don't want to explain what Rin is doing here to Momma! Rin, go with Shippou and hide in the branches of the Goshinboku. Wait for us there!”

 

Rin and Shippou leaped out the window, Souta and Kagome hurried down the stairs…”

 

 

“Well, that was unexpected. I forgot mom always visited Aunt Jesse for the summer.” Kagome interrupted his thoughts.

 

Souta blinked slightly before replying. “Yea, well. We have the whole shrine to ourselves then.”

 

“Oh yea! That and now we can leave for Genkai's without worrying mother.” Kagome breathed a sigh of relief before turning her eyes onto Souta. “And…we can get to practicing some more. I don't want you to have no experience when we reach Genkai.”

 

Souta huffed. “Yea, yea…okay! Let's go then. What are we doing?”

 

“Let's join Shippou and Rin at the foot of the Goshinboku first. Then we'll start.” Kagome smiled. “I'm teaching you something rather advanced, but it'll help protect you better.”

 

They arrived at the foot of the Goshinboku. Shippou and Rin hopped down from its large branches.

 

“As I was saying, I'm going to teach you how to differentiate the auras of different people.”

 

“Okay…and how do we do that?”

 

“Ah! Easy said, but not easily done. Remember yesterday? Concentrate on your powers and spread them around. You should be able to pick up different energies emanating from different sources.”

 

Souta followed her instructions, his breathing evened out. Souta could feel the distinct energies of Kagome, Rin and Souta. Surprisingly, he also felt something arising from the Goshinboku as well.

 

“Good! Now here…” Kagome said. She tugged on Rin and situated her in front of Souta. “Concentrate on Rin here and tell me what you feel from her.”

 

“Uhh…like what?” Souta asked, directing his concentration towards Rin's energy.

 

“Depending on the amount of power, you'll be able to feel these. First, and the easiest, are the gender, species and amount of power. Follow your gut instincts.”

 

“Mmm…female, inu…the power seems repressed….but their quite a lot of it.”

 

“Great Job! You're right. We're all suppressing our powers right now. Next, see if you can determine the type of energy.”

 

“It feels…demonic mostly, yet - huh? Slightly pure as well…”Souta took a shot.

 

“Not bad…” Shippou complimented. “Rin here is a miko, but she's also a demon.”

 

“And that's possible because…?” Souta questioned.

 

Rin shrugged. “Not sure, but maybe it was Sesshoumaru-sama's wish…the Shikon is known to be able to do bizarre things.”

 

“I see…what's next?”

 

“Hmm…go back to earlier. Demonic you say? Well concentrate on that. Tell me what you feel.” Kagome instructed.

 

“Something…poisonous, seems to be able to become solid…and flexible.” Souta finished and looked hesitantly at Kagome for her reaction.

 

Kagome gave a weak laugh. “That's pretty damn accurate for a beginner.”

 

Rin smiled at Souta cheerfully and chirped. “That's the first anybody thought my attacks were flexible. You're pretty good for your first time.”

 

Kagome nodded. “Now for something a little bit harder. Same thing…but with Shippou this time. Tell me what you sense.”

 

“Same thing? Okay, male, kitsune…very little miko…definitely a lot of power, maybe more than Rin. His demonic control…dealing with plants, indefinite complex illusions, some fire, and with that tad bit of miko, some resistance to purification. But I'm missing something…” Souta trailed off.

 

Kagome leaned forward, Shippou looked a bit eager to hear his answers as well. “Really, and what would that be?”

 

Souta concentrated some more, narrowing his eyes at Shippou. “I'm guessing…some spell work…and maybe something to do with ofudas…written illusions?”

 

Kagome and Shippou blinked. “Keep going…”

 

“Ah! Storable. You're illusions can be stored, much like the purification in ofudas!”

 

Shippou gasped. “Damn right! You're fucking accurate!”

 

“It's my turn now.” Kagome stepped up. Souta turned towards Kagome and concentrated.

 

“Ugh…you're just a mass of different ki! What the hell?”

 

“Try and separate them. It'll be easier.”

 

“Okay then…let's see. Miko, little bit of Inu, little bit of kitsune. One massive amount of pure energy…miko mostly. There's a fair amount of demonic too, but you're not a demon! Err…some poisonous, some illusion, solid form, psychic control obviously. A ton of power is locked up. I think triggered by an object of some sort. A lot seems to be melding into each other. It also feels…transferable.”

 

“Any more?” Kagome questioned.

 

“Ugh…I'm sure there are! That's all I can see now though. Umm…you're ki is moving too much! Sometimes it's separated, and sometimes they are melding together.”

 

“Pretty good. I told you I was difficult. You're missing a few, but it's hard to figure out. You're right though, I can combine and separate my energies. You'll see later.”

 

“So that's it for practice?” Souta asked eagerly.

 

“Wha - No!”

 

Souta looked downcast.

 

“Of course not. After you've had more practice, you'll be able to distinguish the differences in people and recognized the energy signature that's left behind to the person who attacked. The stronger you get, the farther you can trace one's aura.”

 

Souta blinked. “That sounds like a lot.”

 

Shippou shrugged. “You'll need it for when Genkai trains you, if she will. You'll have to be evaluated. Have you taken any form of martial arts?”

 

Souta sniffed. “Of course! I work out in the gym almost everyday! Got a black belt in Karate and I'm okay at Kick-boxing. I joined the track team too, both long distance and sprinter.”

 

Kagome smiled. “Then you'll have no problem with Genkai. She'll teach you how to control your reiki, spirit energy. You've been accessing it for a while now. But since you've pretty much got the basics, she'll build up on your reserves and channel them together for attacks and defenses. We'll practice some more…then head on out!”

 

“Huh? More practicing? But…” Souta started to complain. He really wanted to learn from Genkai.

 

“No buts! It's just like school. The only way to move forward is the start with the basics! First middle school and then high school!” Kagome reprimanded.

 

“But I skipped 2 grades of middle school!”

 

“….practice now, Souta!”

 

With one glance of Kagome's deadly glare, Souta hurriedly agreed to her bidding.

 

 

(After a morning of practicing…)

 

“Finally!” Souta yipped and rushed into the house. “We're finally going somewhere! So much for meditation…one, two, three, breathe, breathe and breathe some more! Damn…that exercise is annoying - “

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. “Right…now come back here!”

 

“Why!?” Souta yelled back from his room.

 

“Ugh! Nevermind! Just so you know, pack lightly! We're only staying at Genkai's for a few days!”

 

“What! But I want to train and learn all those cool new attacks and all that crap!”

 

“Three or four days are enough for you! You've already mastered meditation and some of the tricks I taught you in less than 3 days. Genkai is only going to teach you a few attacks to defend yourself, not her whole arsenal, that'll take a few months… Besides, we're only there to pick up Yukina.”

 

“Who the hell is Yukina?” Souta grumbled.

 

“I'll tell you later. Now hurry up and pack!”

 

“Whatever! I'm done. Let's go.”

 

Shippou and Rin were waiting at the entrance of the shrine. Souta looked at their empty hands.

 

“Hey! Why didn't you guys pack?”

 

They grinned at him. “We visit Genkai on a monthly basis. We already have a set of clothing up and waiting for us.”

 

“Ok…how are we getting there?”

 

“Easy! A portal.” Rin said, as if it was obvious.

 

“…”

 

“I'll make it. Easiest way? Dagger.”

 

Kagome drew out an ordinary looking dagger. Upon closer inspection though, it seemed the tip of the dagger kept on going, drawing to an ultra-fine point and shimmered with a silvery powdered texture. Kagome trust sharply into the air and twisted, dragging the dagger downwards, cutting through the air and parted it, leaving a gaping silver hole in the middle of the shrine grounds.

 

“Whoa…” Souta gasped.

 

“Let's go. The sooner we get through this damned thing, the better…” Shippou said, dragging Rin by one hand and Souta in the other. Kagome stepped through last, and the silvery portal sealed off after her, leaving an empty shrine in her wake.

 

 

 

“Gah!” Souta clutched his head as he staggered around. “Are portals always so disorienting?”

 

Shippou and Rin nodded. They seemed only mildly annoyed.

 

“We're used to it, but we don't enjoy it. We only use these instant portals sometimes, and only for moderate distances.”

 

“Well, that's good to know. We're taking a plane to New York then, I suppose.”

 

“Right you are! Now you wanted to hear about Yukina, right?”

 

“Oh, right! Who is this Yukina?”

 

“Yukina is an ice-maiden.” Rin said blandly, starting up the never-ending stairs.

 

“What's an ice-maiden?” Souta asked.

 

Shippou laughed at Rin, who looked apologetically at Souta.

 

“Oops…I forgot you didn't know. Yukina is an ice demon and has control over the climate, mainly stuff that deals with the cold and deals in the art of healing. Right now, she stays with Genkai and helps out around the Shrine. She's short, like us…”

 

Rin pointed to herself and Kagome. “Yukina is also really sweet and caring, but I think we're rubbing off on her.”

 

Souta looked confused, so Rin elaborated. “If you met her a few years ago, you would have immediately labeled her as naïve and innocent. Heh, she barely understood that Spirit Detective, Kuwabara was in love with her. After she hung around us though…that all changed.”

 

Shippou nodded. “Yukina's a great actress…she should get hired as one with her looks. Sweet and innocent looking, but if you get to know her, she's not. Hah! She's kept that façade on for 3 years, and the Spirit detectives still don't even notice! What kind of person who practically shouts to the whole world that he loves Yukina doesn't notice this? And her brother too…pah. He's not that smart for a demon, keeping his secret.”

 

As Shippou continued up the stairs, Souta looked even more confused. “Kuwabara…her brother…who?”

 

“Oh, Kuwabara and Hiei are Spirit Detectives.” Kagome said. “From what I've seen, Kuwabara'a hopelessly in love with Yukina. Hiei is Yukina's long lost brother, who won't tell Yukina. Yukina knows though, but is waiting for Hiei to tell her himself. It's kinda sad…”

 

“I see…” Souta's brain whirled. Yukina sounded like a pretty interesting character to meet.

 

Finally, after trekking up the seemingly mile-long flight of stairs, they arrived at the gates of the temple. Souta eyes the area. It was huge! While he was admiring the area, the gate to the temple creaked open to reveal a teenage girl with aqua colored hair streaming behind her.

 

“Hey Kagome, Shippou, Rin! How ya doing?” The girl smiled brightly.

 

“Fine. We're here to discuss something with you…” Shippou said.

 

“…And to train Souta.” Rin filled in.

 

“Souta…?” Yukina looked confused, then she turned her to look behind Kagome.

 

Souta cleared his throat and grinned boyishly. “Hey. I'm Souta, Kagome's brother.”

 

She stared at Souta. For the first time, Kagome, Rin and Shippou witnessed something extremely rare. Yukina blushed, the rosy hue staining her face.

 

“H-Hello.” Yukina couldn't speak. She trailed her eyes over Souta's handsome features, his mysterious smile, his chisled body beneath a leather jacket. She looked up into Souta's honey colored eyes and blushed brightly. She had never been caught eyeing a boy so closely.

 

Yukina wasn't the only one though. Souta had never seen anybody a pretty as Yukina before. She was petite, her hair an exotic color of aqua. When Yukina made eye contact, Souta could only stare into her pink eyes, which only served to further increase her striking features.

 

Souta broke the ice first. “I believe you're Yukina? I've heard a lot about you.”

 

Yukina blinked at Souta, embarrassed at being caught staring. “Kagome told me a lot about you too…” Yukina floundered a bit for words.

 

Genkai saved her the hassle. “You people just gonna stand there…or do I have to drag you in?”

 

Kagome grinned. “Souta and Yukina were just introducing themselves. We'll carry on inside then, shall we?”

 

They followed Genkai into the temple.

 

“Genkai? I don't believe you have met Souta.” Kagome said. “I'd like a favor.”

 

Genkai raised an eyebrow. “Yes?” She asked, even though she probably already knew the request.

 

“We were wondering if you could give Souta some tips. His powers are just surfacing and we'd like some help in the beginning of his training.”

 

Genkai eyed Souta, giving him a throughout look. “His aura is indeed powerful. I do believe that I've said dimwit was my last pupil, but I'll start training him.”

 

Souta smiled and bowed. “I'm honored, master Genkai!”

 

Genkai looked appreciatively at Souta. “You have manners, boy! I'm glad for that.”

 

Kagome clapped her hands. “Good! Now that that's settled…I have great news!”

 

Everybody stared at her, hoping to be enlightened.

 

“We're going to collage, and we're bringing Yukina with us!” Kagome cheered happily.

 

"If collage is four years long...what are you going to do about Hiei and Kuwabara though?"
