Chapter 6: Unexpected Visitations

 

Kagome sobbed uncontrollably as she watched her tears fall into the dark depths of the well. She'd woken from unconsciousness just moments ago and found herself at the bottom of the well. Her fear completely engulfed her entire being as she hurriedly climbed out of the well and dropped back down into it only to painfully hit the ground. Climbing back up the latter, she was now letting out all of her grief and sadness as she sobbed over the lip of the well. The jewel had sent her back to her time… she was never going to see her friends ever again…

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

The battle was long and hard and there wasn't a single individual on either side that wasn't injured. It took quite some time but Kagura and Kanna had finally been defeated. With Kagome's helpful purifying arrows, she, Kuronue, Miroku, and Sango were able to clear the field of all the weaker demons before everyone was able to focus their attention on Naraku alone. Inuyasha and Hiei had done quite a number on the vile hanyou already but the same could be said for the hybrid and inuhanyou as well. Inuyasha looked about ready to collapse and Hiei didn't look to be in any better shape.

 

The only reason they were still alive is because of Hiei's speed. The apparition was able to save both Inuyasha and himself from several deadly attacks from Naraku but his fatigue was beginning to get the better of him. Thankfully, Youko, Sango, Kouga, Kuronue, and Miroku were able to jump into the fight now as well. Youko, Kuronue, and Kouga seemed alright to fight for a bit longer but Sango and Miroku sported quite a few injuries. Kohaku had made his appearance a little after the fight began and completely took up Sango's attention. The two siblings had fought hard and in the end, Sango felt she had no choice but to end her brother's suffering.

 

With her rage ignited to a whole new level from having to kill her own brother, Kagome knew that Sango would fight until Naraku was dead… or she was killed. With Naraku's attention completely occupied by her friends, Kagome quickly formed a plan to end this before any of her friends were killed. The miko relocated herself so that she was right behind her friends that were fighting so hard to remain alive and keep her safe. Closing her eyes in concentration, Kagome wasn't worried about getting hurt because not even Naraku was strong enough to penetrate her barrier.

 

“Kagome, what the hell are you doing?!” Inuyasha yelled.

 

“Get back onna.” Hiei had snarled.

 

“Don't Kagome!” Sango cried out.

 

The shouts from her friends continued on but she ignored them. She knew what she had to do and although it would probably drain majority of her power, if that was what she needed to do to rid this world of Naraku once and for all, she was ready to sacrifice almost anything. Suddenly, every one of her friends was surrounded by a bright blue barrier, her own barrier shrinking to only protect Shippo, and before they could stop the miko, she released as much purification into the field as she possibly could without losing enough energy to sustain all the barriers. Falling to her knees, everyone watched in awe as the purification spread across the entire area.

 

The shards in Naraku's possession purified from the intensity of her power before her attack even reached the hanyou. He was slowly being purified from the inside out until her power washed over him, completely incinerating him. Once the miko felt her demon friends would be safe, she dropped all her barriers as she made her way to the shards buried in Naraku's ashes. The shards all began to glow a bright pink color, including the ones in Kouga's legs, before rushing together. Kouga winced as the shards tore out of his flesh but he ignored the pain as they all tried to make their way to Kagome.

 

Kagome closed her eyes as a single tear trailed down her cheek. She could feel the jewel was now complete and floating before her and she knew what she had to do. She reached up and closed her hands around the troublesome jewel. “I wish…”

 

“No!” Sango yelled, now breaking into a sprint, despite her wounds, toward the miko sitting on the ground holding the jewel in the air.

 

“Kagome!” She could hear everyone calling out to her in their attempt to stop her. Youko, Kuronue, Hiei, and Kouga didn't know why everyone was so worried but since they were trying so hard to keep the miko from making a wish, they knew something bad was going to happen and also tried to make it to the miko in time. But no one could. Kagome knew that once she made this wish that she would probably be sent to her time. But that didn't matter. Her friend's happiness was more important to her. `I wish Kohaku was given another chance at life…'

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome gazed down into the darkness of the well as her tears continued to fall. She had wished for Kohaku to come back to life and she knew it was a selfish wish because by bringing Sango happiness, it would in turn make her happy. Her punishment for her selfish wish was to be sent to her time and not be able to return. Although she accepted this punishment in return for Sango's happiness, it didn't mean she wouldn't feel anguish over her loss.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Spirit World~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“What do you want now toddler!?” Yusuke snapped, clearly irritated.

 

“Quit calling me that!” Koenma yelled, glaring down at Yusuke from his desk.

 

“He's just moody cause he saw Keiko with another guy today.” Kuwabara snickered.

 

“Shut up baka!” he yelled, pounding his fist into his tall friend's skull.

 

“What the hell was that for Urameshi?!”

 

“For being an idiot!”

 

“Knock it off both of you!” Koenma demanded. “We don't have time for you're meaningless quarrels! Keiko broke up with you several months ago, so get over it!” He seethed.

 

Yusuke crossed his arms over his chest and glared up at his boss. “Shut up and just tell us why we're here already.”

 

Koenma sighed and rubbed his temples, trying to calm his irritation with his spirit detective. “I have a new mission for you two. It shouldn't be very hard so I didn't find it necessary to call Hiei and Kurama in.”

 

“Well?” Yusuke growled impatiently.

 

Koenma rolled his eyes but continued. “There was a drastic spike in spiritual energy approximately an hour ago. We've finally pinpointed the location of the energy and I want you to bring whatever it is here immediately.”

 

“And if it's a demon?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“How can it be a demon you dumbass? Demon's don't have spiritual energy!” Yusuke yelled.

 

“You do!” he argued.

 

“That's different! I'm not a demon! I only inherited the power of my ancestor stupid!” Yusuke said, whacking his friend over the head again.

 

“Stop arguing! Botan is going to take you to the location we found the energy to be. Make this quick, I don't want you idiots gaining a lot of attention.” Koenma ordered as Botan smiled brightly and opened a portal for them.

 

“Good luck boys!”

 

Yusuke scowled at her cheery mood as Kuwabara grinned and nodded before following his moody teammate through the portal. They glanced around curiously as they found themselves on the property of a shrine. “Wonder who we're lookin for, do you feel anything?”

 

Kuwabara glanced around before his gaze landed on a small building beside the main house. “There's a lot of spiritual energy coming from in there.”

 

Suddenly the doors to the small building flew open and a beautiful woman stepped from inside. Her sad blue eyes landed on them before her expression changed completely. She was now glaring at them wearily. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” She demanded.

 

“The energy is coming from her Urameshi…” Kuwabara said in awe.

 

“So we gotta take her to Koenma?” he asked in boredom.

 

The girl's eyes widened at their words and she dropped into a defensive posture. A smirk spread across Yusuke's face as he cracked his knuckles and took a step closer to the gorgeous raven haired girl. “Looks like you got some fight in ya, good cause I was hoping this would be at least a little bit of a challenge.”

 

“Urameshi, you can't fight her! She's a girl!” Kuwabara gasped out, a horrified expression on his face.

 

“I won't hurt her baka, stop worrying so much.” Yusuke said, waving off his friend's worry.

 

The girl snorted as she straightened her posture and crossed her arms over her chest. “I doubt you could hurt me no matter how hard you tried.”

 

Raising an eyebrow at her, Yusuke turned his complete attention to the beautiful girl before him. “Let's see what you got then babe.”

 

Her eyes narrowed as her muscles tensed slightly. “Don't call me `babe'.” she threatened.

 

Yusuke smirked slightly before running at her. He was slightly confused when she remained unmoving where she stood. Was she not going to fight back? How boring… if not then he would just throw her over his shoulder and call Botan for a portal. Suddenly, she dropped down to the ground and swept her leg out, successfully tripping him and causing him to fall flat on his face. Getting up and glaring slightly at the girl that was standing and dusting off her clothes, he charged her once more.

 

His eyes widened when she dodged his kick and delivered a punch that was far more painful than he thought she was capable of. Falling to the ground holding his stomach, he wasn't prepared for her to kick him hard in the chest, sending him flying straight into Kuwabara. Before they could untangle themselves, the girl had run off, her energy completely disappearing.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Later that day~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“After a cell completes mitosis, the DNA is replicated into two separate sister chromatids.” The science teacher explained, pointing to the pictures of the different stages of mitosis.

 

Kagome yawned and gazed out the window in boredom. Why had she even bothered going to school today? Sure she'd been sent back to her time before school started that morning but she wasn't in the emotional condition to even be there in the first place. Her heart still felt heavy from the realization that she would never see her friends again. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes once more but she refused to let them fall. She was in the middle of class and her friends were there, she wouldn't allow them to see how she really felt at the moment. They would just drown her in questions and she'd just get irritated and her mood would worsen.

 

Shaking her head clear of the past, Kagome allowed her thoughts to wonder to the two boys that were appeared on her shrine that morning. Who were they and what were they doing there? More importantly, how could they sense her spiritual power and who exactly did they plan on taking her to? She blushed slightly as she realized just how good looking the boy with dark hair was. Not to mention he was probably a decent fighter, if he hadn't so obviously been distracted by her appearance. He almost reminded her of Inuyasha, with his tactic of merely running into a fight without thinking of a plan first.

 

Nevertheless, she knew that she would have to keep an eye out for those two. Even if he was handsome, he seemed to be after her for some reason and she didn't want to find out why. Not to mention she didn't miss the high amount of spiritual energy both of them possessed. She didn't need to be getting herself into trouble that didn't concern her. Even though life in her era was bound to be boring without the excitement of fighting for her live on a day to day basis, she was slightly grateful for the break. Maybe now she could sit back and take a breather for a while.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Spirit World~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“What exactly happened?” Koenma asked, confused. Yusuke and Kuwabara had appeared in his office only moments ago and they didn't look very happy. Not to mention they obviously hadn't completed their mission.

 

“She kicked my ass! A girl kicked my ass!” Yusuke yelled, clearly pissed.

 

“The energy you asked us to bring… it was a girl and she wasn't very happy to hear that we were supposed to bring her to you.” Kuwabara explained.

 

“That amount of energy was emitting from a woman in the human realm?” Koenma asked, surprised by this bit of information.

 

“Yea! And she knows how to fight! You didn't tell us that shit toddler! If I knew she could fight I wouldn't have messed around and ended up looking like a complete idiot!” Yusuke snapped.

 

“I wasn't aware this individual possessed fighting skills Yusuke. It seems that we'll need a bit more help if that large amount of energy is coming from just one person. She'll be even more of a handful if she knows how to use her powers but that means it's even more important that you bring her here.”

 

“Why do we even need to bring her here in the first place?” Yusuke asked.

 

“I'll explain everything in due time Yusuke.” Koenma explained.

 

The detective narrowed his eyes at their boss. “What are you hiding from us toddler?”

 

“You'll know all the details once this mission is complete. I'll have Botan locate Kurama…” the demi god murmured, relaying his order to the reaper while ignoring Kuwabara and Yusuke.

 

“Not like we'll need him anyway, I'm gunna take that chick down when I find her…” Yusuke muttered.

 

“You can't hurt a girl Urameshi!” Kuwabara yelled.

 

“Who said I was gunna hurt her?” he smirked, a mischief gleam in his eyes.

 

“You can't violate a girl either!” he yelled, recognizing the look in his friend's eyes.

 

“I've got to get her back for humiliating me somehow!” he argued.

 

“But groping her isn't right!”

 

“Says who?! She'll probably like it!”

 

“She doesn't even know you!”

 

“Doesn't matter!”

 

“What are they arguing about this time?” Everyone turned their attention to Kurama, who had just stepped through a portal, Botan following behind him.

 

“Urameshi is going to sexually harass a girl we have to bring in! Tell him it's wrong!” Kuwabara complained.

 

Kurama shook his head. “Kuwabara is right Yusuke, violating women is something even I will protest against.”

 

“But she's hot!” Yusuke whined.

 

The avatar shook his head. “May I ask why I was summoned here?” he asked, turning his attention to Koenma.

 

“A large amount of spiritual energy was recorded early this morning and when we finally located it, I sent Yusuke and Kuwabara to bring whatever it was here. They returned complaining that a human girl is the one that possesses this energy and apparently was a talented enough fighter to escape them.” Koenma explained.

 

“You shoulda seen her Kurama! If I wasn't so distracted by those perfect curves, I'm positive I could have beat her but its obvious that she's had some serious training.” Yusuke piped up, not seeming to be angry about being defeated by a girl anymore. He now looked more excited to just see her again, perhaps so he could fight her seriously this time.

 

“So you need my assistance to bring her in?” Kurama asked, ignoring his teammates.

 

“Yes, I've been keeping track of her location and it seems that she is at a nearby school right now. Classes should be ending soon so I suggest you guys get there now. I doubt she will use her power, if she knows how, in front of other humans.” Koenma stated before turning toward Botan. She grinned and nodded, not needing him to tell her what he needed. She opened a portal in an alley near the school and waved the boys off as they disappeared through her portal.

 

“Good luck again! You're going to need it.” she giggled.

 

Yusuke rolled his eyes at the overly cheery grim reaper and led the way out of the alley before slowly walking toward the school. The bell had just sounded, signaling the end of the day and all the students were exiting the school at a brisk pace, relieved to finally escape. Yusuke and Kuwabara searched the crowd for the one girl they were there for and just as they were beginning to think she'd left before they got there, Kuwabara frantically pointed toward a girl with long ebony hair running in the opposite direction. Breaking into a sprint, all three boys gave chase, surprised at the speed this one human girl possessed. They followed her down a less populated part of town before successfully cornering her in an alley. They had her now; there was nowhere she could escape.

A/N:

 

Oh no! They have Kagome trapped! Why does Koenma want them to bring her in so badly? Is Yusuke going to follow through with his earlier threats and take the miko down? Well… you'll just have to wait and find out! Hehe
