-------------------~*Chapter 5*~-------------------

Koenma angrily stamped at his papers, muttering a few curses as he added them to the steadily growing pile. Yes, life was great…if you weren’t a tree that is. In that case you were scattered in millions of pieces over a desk with an infant slamming a stamp on you only to throw you aside in a chaotic mess…
“Why do they have to cause so much damage everywhere they go?!?”
Referring to the Spirit detectives last mission he shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if Genkia hadn’t have erected that barrier at the last moment….
BAM! The door to his office slamed open.
“Koenma! We have a problem!”
Startled out of his foul mood pappers scattered all over the already messy floor as Koenma fell atop his desk as he was reaching for a paper on top of a pile.
“Ak! What is the problem Yusu-“
Angry brown eyes stared accusingly at who he thought was Yusuke (the only one he could remember barging into his office so rudely) and was met with the panicked pink eyes of Botan.
“-Botan? Whats the matter?” yes, something must be wrong for her to act so out of character.
“She’s back!” was Botans panicked reply.
“Calm down, calm down! Now who’s ‘back’?”
“Kagome Higurashi! She’s-“
“KAGOME HIGURASHI!?!?”
“-yes sir if you remember she was supposed to die 3 weeks ago on her last trip to the past but something got messed up and now she’s alive! And she goes to the boys’ school!”
“This was not supposed to happen. Damnit Midoriko, why must you always be so rash? This has to be your doing.” Koenma sighed. ‘this must have been what she meant when she told my father “There will be a time when the dead must live to bring new life” all those years ago.’
“Koenma sir?”
Snapped out of his memories he looked up at Botan seeing her worried look he smiled at her reassuringly.
“Just keep and eye on her. Don’t say anything to the group and when she reveals herself bring her to me.”
“Yes sir.” With that Botan opened a portal and disappeared to the human world.
Koenma sighed and called an ogre to pick up the papers on the ground.
‘I do hope she still has the Jewel….if not father is going to kill me!’

-----------------------------------

Hot water ran over the thin petite body of a girl as steam filled the small room fogging up the mirrored walls. Kagome sighed as she rested her forehead against the cool tile of the shower, the thoughts of that days events running through her mind. Meeting Hiei, Yusuke and Kurawabara that morning before meeting the three girls that afternoon. Thinking back she realized she still needed to talk to that “Botan” woman about why she recognized her, when she herself had never seen her before. ‘She couldn’t be someone from the past…could she? I mean that weird aura would explain it but I still don’t recognize her.’ Sighing her thoughts returned to recapping the rest of the day when they drifted to the gut-wrenching kiss with Hiei. She was surprised and mildly disgusted at how forward she was, blushing at the thought at what would have happened if they hadn’t been interrupted.(oh how I wish I could have continued that scene…) Pulling herself from her naughty thoughts she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower drying her body off with the towel Kurama gave her earlier that evening. Putting on her pj’s she twisted her long hair up in the damp towel. Looking into the mirror she realized the jewel symbol was in plain view, reminding her of her need to confront Kurama about his demon blood as well.
Knock Knock “Kagome? You done in there? You know other people need to use the shower too.” Came Kurama’s teasing voice through the bathroom door.
Opening the door Kurama stumbled back slightly not expecting her to open it so quickly. Walking out with the jewel in plain view she smiled at him, “Its all yours. Don’t have too much fun now.” With a wink she walked down the hall and into her room.

-----------------Kurama’s POV------------------

As I lay on my bed I thought about how weird the last few days were. I mean, first Koenma sends us on this wild goose chase for some jewel, then my cousin moves in with us, and then that thing with Hiei.
‘\Didn’t think that little boy had it in him. But did you see that dazed expression when she looked at us? He must be one hell-ova kis-\‘ Youko started.
‘Oh shut up! Your just jealous it wasn’t you.’
‘\Your damn right I am, 18 years I have given up sex for you. Why? Because you’re too much of a ‘Gentlemen’ to even THINK about a girl inappropriately.\’ Youko huffed disappearing to the back of my mind.
Blushing I tried to shake those thoughts from my head as I got up and headed towards the bathroom. No longer hearing the sound of the shower running I knocked lightly on the door.
“Kagome? You done in there? You know other people need to use the shower too.”
Leaning against the door slightly I was startled backwards when it was opened and a pajama clad Kagome walked out smiling. Hair wrapped in a towel her bangs were pulled from in front of her forehead showing the symbol of a jewel. He had never noticed that mark on her before and was wondering how she managed to get a tattoo like that. At least that’s what he thought it was. He was ripped from his thoughts by her next statement.
“Its all yours. Don’t have too much fun now.” Throwing a wink his way she walked down the hallway to her room he supposed.
“\It’d be funner with her help-\“
“Stop. ‘Funner’ isn’t even a word.”
Smiling and shaking his head slightly he walked in to the bathroom for nice hot shower.

-----------------------------------------------

Walking back to his room towel drying his hair Kurama was surprised to find Kagome sitting on his bed looking at a couple pictures he had on his night stand. Her fingers lightly traced over the faces of his mother and himself, then over the group photo of him and his friends. Shutting the door to grab her attention her head snapped up and eyes locked with his. Startled by the intensity in her gaze he stood motionless before her eyes softened and she patted the space besides her on the bed.
Sitting down next to her he looked at her expectedly as she turned to him placing her hand on his cheek.
“Kurama, why do you have demon blood running through your veins?”Her soft voice startled him as his eyes widened before an emotionless mask covered his face.
“What are you talking about Kagome? There’s no such thing as ‘Demons’” he tried to pull it off but new it was already too late, she had seen his slip up before he could cover it.
“Don’t play cutesy with me, I can sense it. I know you’re a demon, but not a half demon…yes, something different and I want to know.” Never straying her eyes his Kurama searched for lies and when he found none he let himself relax under her soothing touch, closing his eyes he layed his back on the bed. Looking up at her he wasn’t surprised to see her smiling as he took a deep breath and prepared to explain himself.
“Well, I don’t know where so start…”
“The beginning would help” she giggled.
“Sigh...I guess your right. Well it all started 300 years ago when the legendary demon thief Youko Kurama was stealing an artifact from a rich youki lord. He underestimated the lords strength and was caught and almost killed. With his last remaining power he planted his soul into the child in the womb of a pregnant woman. His intentions were to stay only until he could gain enough power for his own body but as the child grew he grew attached to him and his mother. When the time came to part from the boy he couldn’t. You see the boy’s mother had grown very sick and was dying. The fox stayed with the boy and helped him find a cure for his sick mother.” At her perplexed look he continued. “That boy Kagome, is me.”
“What? How is that possible? Two whole souls residing in one body…must be cramped.”
‘\You have no idea.\’ Came youko’s sarcastic reply.
“Youko says ‘You have no idea’.”
“Oh! How wonderful you can communicate freely with him? I guess you’ll never be lonely!” She giggled.
“Oh, you have no idea how annoying he can be.”
‘\Hey I heard that…\’
‘Good.’
“So Kagome how did you know I was a demon? I’m very curious.” Kurama inquired taking on a more serious look.
“Oh! Yes of course you deserve that much. My story is a lot longer so im going to have to a quick summary but…hmm where to start..?”
“The beginning would help.” Kurama teased.
“Hey that’s my line! Anyways before I was so RUDELY interrupted, it started on my 15th birthday. I went down into the old well house to search for my cat and was pulled into the well by a demon called mistress centipede. There I ended up 500 years in the past where I found out I had the Shikon no Tama in my body.”
‘\The Jewel!\’ Youko thought.
“It ended up I was the reincarnation of a priestess and had her powers plus more. There I met Inuyasha a half dog demon, Shippo a fox kit, Miroku a perverted monk and Sango a demon slayer. We were on a quest to gather all of the shards of the jewel I broke…on accident!...and anyways we hunted the evil half demon Naraku who also wanted the jewel. After the final battle I returned home and the well sealed. That was 3 weeks ago.” She finished tears welling up in her eyes. There was obviously something she wasn’t telling Kurama but he let it slide for now. I mean he was keeping his own secrets why couldn’t she?
“Three weeks ago? So you were away for almost 3 years and your family didn’t say anything?” Kurama started but was cut off by a chuckling Kagome.
“No! no! you got it all wrong. I traveled back and forth through the well many times during my adventures in the past. My family new everything about it.”
“Oh, that’s good. So what happened to the jewel?” he needed to find out so he could report his findings to Koenma.
Putting a hand under her bangs Kagome lifted them showing the symbol of the jewel, “You see this thing? It showed up after I returned home. After the final battle and Naraku was destroyed the jewel was completed and merged with my body one again. In essence I AM the jewel now.”
Kurama gasped at the unexpected news. If Koenma wanted the jewel then that mean he wanted Kagome. Conflicting emotions scrambled in his head as he weighed the consequences of telling Koenma about Kagome. What if he wanted to lock her away for safe keeping? He couldn’t allow her to be treated like an object like that, she was family. But a small voice told him he would do nothing of the sort, maby it was Youko’s? He was so confused. He needed to speak to Hiei about this immediately. Surely the fire apparition would know what to do.
Turning twards Kagome he gave her a small smile, “Well that explains why you can feel my demon blood though the aura hiding barrier I’m using. I guess that means you know about Hiei as well? That explains why you went off alone with him…kinda.”
“Yes that’s why I wanted to talk to him in the first place. I confronted him about his demon blood but I got a little carried away and I underestimated his speed and one thing led to another…” Blushing she looked away. “Well I guess I should be heading to bed. G’night Kurama.” Turning and leaving Kurama followed her to the door closing it after she was out.
“Good night Kagome.”
