*~Believe in the Unbelievable~*

 

 

I still don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho!! Even though I wish I did! =(

 

*Chapter 2: Protecting Loved Ones*

 

Souta heard what sounded like doors slamming and ran out the door. He looked toward the well house and saw Kagome on the ground, her body raked with sobs. Worried, he slowly made his way over to his crying sister.

 

“Kagome? You ok?” He asked, rubbing her back.

 

She lifted her tearful face to his and threw herself at him, crying into his shirt. Souta just sat there holding his sobbing sister as she cried her pains away.

 

“The well s…sealed itself, I ca…can't see them anymore!” She stuttered in between sobs.

 

Souta pulled her into a tight hug. He knew how much she enjoyed going to the feudal era. He knew she loved her friends and he also knew she had fallen for Inuyasha. Souta was pulled from his thoughts when she suddenly tensed. Something was coming, it was tingling the edges of her senses. Her eyes widened.

 

Demons.

 

Kagome stood with Souta's help and stared off in the direction she felt them coming.

 

“Sis, what's wrong?”

 

As if on cue, five demons appeared several feet in front of the siblings. A growl rumbled in Kagome's chest when one looked at Souta, licked its lips, and then averted its attention back to Kagome with a smirk on its face.

 

“Souta, get mom and grandpa as far away from the shrine as possible. This shouldn't take long.”

 

He nodded and ran into the house to retrieve the others. When Kagome heard the back door close, she knew they were safe. Careful of her many injuries, she got into a defensive stance.

 

“You demons must be stupid or have a death wish”

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Reikai ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“What do you want toddler?!?!” yelled Yusuke.

 

Koenma glared at him but let it go for now. “We have an emergency! Five demons got loose and are attacking a shrine! Three humans have left already but one is staying behind to fight!”

 

Four pairs of eyes stared at the demigod in shock.

 

“Is it a normal human?” asked Kurama

 

“Yes! The radar reads she's perfectly normal!”

 

Yusuke's eyes got wider “It's a girl! She must be stupid or have a death wish!”

 

“You need to get there now! Botan!” Koenma yelled.

 

Botan appeared and opened a portal to the shrine.

 

“Good luck!” she chirped, that cheery smile plastered on her face.

 

They all walked through with scowls on their faces except Kurama, who smiled back at Botan, who in return blushed. Once they reached the other side they immediately froze in shock at the sight before them.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ With Kagome ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“Give it to us! Give us the jewel!” Hissed one demon, the rest growling at the insult.

 

“Make me” She smirked, making the demons' growls intensify.

 

Kagome tried to put some purification into her hands only to find her power was completely drained. A scowl formed on her face before the smirk returned. `Just great…all my energy must have been drained from purifying the jewel. To make matters worst, there aren't any forests nearby for me to reenergize from. And this gash in my stomach is still bleeding, not to mention I have a sprain ankle and maybe a couple broken ribs from where the jewel entered my chest. My life just frickin rocks.'

 

The demon that seemed to be the leader smirked. “It should be easy to destroy a mere human, injured at that.”

 

The demons eyed the large gash across her stomach, where Kagura attempted to cut her in half with her Dance of Blades. Kagome was able to dodge almost all of them…almost.

 

Kagome's smile grew “Try me”

 

The demons charged. Once they reached striking range, Kagome swiftly reached for the charm bracelet on her wrist. She yanked off the charm that looked like a sword and pointed it at them. They all stopped in their tracks, staring at her in amusement.

 

“Is that what you call a weapon?” They laughed

 

Kagome's smile grew even wider, an evil glint in her eyes. Suddenly the charm grew into a long sharp blade. That's when the laughter stopped.

 

“You should never underestimate any opponent!” yelled Kagome as she attacked at an angle, killing all five demons in one swipe.

 

The pain was unbearable now and her vision was getting blurry. The next thing she knew, everything went black.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Yu Yu Gang ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

They looked on in shock at the beautiful girl dressed in miko garbs insult the low class demons in front of her. Yusuke was just about to step in to help when Hiei stopped him. They all looked at him in confusion.

 

“Let her deal with them” He said in a bored tone.

 

Kurama knew better though, Hiei was curious to see what this human girl could do if she was so at ease in insulting demons. He had to admit that he was quite curious as well.

 

“But she doesn't have a weapon, she's injured, and she's human! She probably doesn't even know they're demons!” Yusuke yelled.

 

Hiei sent the detective a glare before turning his attention back to the fight. This human confused Hiei, she didn't have a weapon, from what he could see, and she was injured yet she still stood her ground. Was she that stupid? Hiei lifted his bandana just enough for the jagan to open and tried to see into the girl's mind. He had just got past the weak barrier that all humans had around their minds when he was violently thrown from her head. A growl vibrated deep in his chest as he recovered the jagan, glaring daggers at the girl. Kurama turned to Hiei in confusion.

 

`Is something wrong Hiei?' Kurama asked through their mind link.

 

`She blocked my jagan' he growled.

 

Kurama's eyes widened. `She blocked the jagan?! How? No one can do that, especially a human.'

 

`She is no ordinary human, fox' He replied more calmly with a hint of annoyance.

 

They turned their attention back to the scene in time to see the demons charge her. They all tensed when they were in striking distance and nearly laughed themselves when she held a charm as her defense. The smiles were replaced with shock when the charm grew into a sharp sword and she killed all five demons in one swipe. Hiei, of course, showed no emotion the whole time but was surprised she killed the demons. They watched as the girl collapsed to the ground unconscious. Kurama walked over to her and lifted her limp body into his arms.

 

“Hiei, can we take her to Yukina so she can be healed?” He asked the apparition, who was already walking in the direction of Genkai's temple.

 

“Hn” was all Kurama got as an answer.

 

They shrugged their shoulders and followed their demon companion to Genkai's temple.

 

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

 

Hiei and Kurama arrived at the temple and slid the door open. Yukina immediately came into view at the smell of blood, worry plastered on her face when she saw the girl, dripping in blood, in Kurama's arms.

 

“What happened? Never mind, you can explain while I bandage her up. Put her in the room across from mine.”

 

Kurama nodded, walking into the room and gently placing the girl on a mat. Yukina entered with a wet cloth and bandages and sat next to her.

 

“So what happened? Was she attacked?” She asked as Hiei walked into the room and leaned against a wall.

 

She lifted her shirt just enough to clean the wound and wrap it while Kurama briefly explained what they saw.

 

“And you can't see into her mind?” She asked looking at Hiei.

 

“No”

 

“But she feels like a normal human.”

 

“Hn”

 

Yukina rolled her eyes at his response. “Let us leave her, she has to rest. She's lost a lot of blood and I'm guessing the rest of the gang with be here any minute. How did they fall behind anyway?”

 

“They got into another fight,” Kurama answered

 

“How long until she will awaken?”

 

Yukina looked at Hiei in surprise “I would have to say a week considering how severe her wounds are. Do you guys know how she got this hole in her chest? It looks like something was forced through her and broke her ribs. What could possibly do that?”

 

“We're not sure but we can ask her when she wakes up.” Kurama said as they heard the front door slid open.

 

“Great, the bakas are here” Hiei scowled

 

“I heard that shrimp! Why don't you come out and say that to my face!” Yelled Kuwabara.

 

Hiei walked out of the room and a loud thump was heard before a door slammed. Yukina shook her head and sighed.

 

“That has to be the most I've ever heard Hiei say, even to me. What's so special about this girl?” Yukina asked Kurama

 

“Nothing that I know of. Maybe he likes her.” Kurama smirked

 

“Hiei, like a human? Yea, when hell freezes over.” She laughed as they left the room only to see an unconscious Kuwabara and a laughing Yusuke.

 

“Would anyone like some tea? The girl won't be waking soon, she's hurt pretty bad.” Yukina said before walking into the kitchen. The boys looked at the door Hiei just left through before following the demoness into the kitchen, dragging the idiot with them.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 5 minutes after Kurama and Yukina left ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Slowly, Kagome opened her eyes to see she was in an unfamiliar room. Immediately she sensed the presence of three demons and two humans with high spiritual powers. She sat up only to see her stomach was wrapped. She removed the bandages to see the wounds gone, happy to know her miko powers were restored and healed her already. Quietly, she stood and left the room, tiptoeing toward the door she sensed would lead her outside. She tensed when she passed by a room filled with voices, both male and female. Finally she reached the door and silently left the building, stepping out into the fresh air. Taking a deep breath, she made her way to the steps, all the way across the property. As she walked, she realized that this was a temple and a forest surrounded it. `That's how my power restored so fast.' She stopped in her tracks when she felt a demon; she thought was sleeping in a tree, aura fill with curiosity and confusion. She continued walking when she was pulled back against something hard, but soft, and a sword at her throat.

 

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

 

He was resting in a tree outside the temple when he heard the front door slide open. He opened one eye to see who it was and was surprised to see the wounded girl, that wasn't suppose to wake yet, walking toward the steps. He also realized she was walking perfectly normal.

 

`How can a human walk around with a sprain ankle and those kind of wounds?' He thought.

 

`Fox, the girl is awake and trying to get away.'

 

`What!? How is she walking with her ankle sprained?'

 

`I'm about to find out' Hiei said before jumping down from his tree.

 

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

 

“What do you want?” asked Kagome, annoyance evident in her voice. She didn't expect the demon to be so fast.

 

“How are you moving with such a wound?” The demon demanded more than questioned.

 

“If you let me go I might consider answering you” Kagome smirked when she heard the demon growl before releasing her. She turned to face him as he sheathed his sword. He was definitely a 10 on the hottie scale! He was about a couple inches taller than her, wore black, had beautiful gravity defying hair, and the most stunning scarlet eyes she had ever seen. She was momentarily lost in his eyes until she heard him growl.

 

“My names Kagome, you?” she asked with a smile.

 

`Is this onna crazy? Why isn't she afraid of me?'

 

“Hn, Hiei”

 

“Where am I anyway?”

 

“Why are you afraid of me? Don't you know what I am?” Hiei growled, frustrated he couldn't get into her mind.

 

“I'm not afraid because I could kick your ass and yes I do know what you are. You're a demon, a hybrid to be exact. Half fire half ice.”

 

Hiei's eyes widened a fraction before glaring at her “How did you know that”

 

“Because I'm a…”

 

“Hiei! Don't let her go anywhere!” yelled a boy with slicked back black hair, two boys and a girl running behind him.

 

Kagome reached down and plucked off her boomerang. It grew to the same size as Sango's and she got into a fighting stance. When the others got up to Hiei the red head bowed.

 

“Miss, we mean you no harm. We just have questions to ask of you.”

 

Kagome lowered her weapon, then slowly returned it to the bracelet. She walked up to them and bowed.

 

“I'm Kagome”

 

“Nice to meet you, I'm Kurama, this is Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Yukina. It seems you've already met Hiei.” The red head smiled.

 

“Yes so where am I?”

 

“Your in Genkai's temple. How are you awake with that wound? Walking no less?” asked Yukina.

 

“Oh, because it healed already” Kagome lifted her shirt to show the wound gone.

 

They all stared at her wide-eyed “How?”

 

“Because I'm a…” she stopped midsentence. There were seven demons coming. She grabbed her bow and quiver of arrows from her bracelet. In the blink of an eye, she shot four arrows into the forest. The others jaws dropped to the floor when they saw the arrow engulfed in purple flame then seconds later, deafening cries were heard from within the forest. Three demons jumped from the tree line and glared at Kagome. The guys began to step forward but Kagome stopped them. She put her bow and arrows back and glared back at the demons, and inhuman growl rumbling in her chest.

 

“Give us the jewel!” they hissed.

 

“Over my dead body” she flipped them of before they ran at her. (a/n: I know, very unkagome but I couldn't resist! Sorry) She just stood there in ease, until they got closer. She put her hand up and the demons were caught in purple chains. It was replaced with a cage, and every time they touched the bars, purification burned them.

 

“Now explain to me, who is sending all you pathetic demons and why do they want the Shikon?” she asked calmly.

 

The group just watched in amazement at her power. Their jaws still hanging open.

 

“Why should we tell you? Your just a stupid ningen!” one yelled

 

He turned to ash.

 

“Does that answer any questions?”

 

“Naraku! He sent us! He said that he will have the jewel no matter what it takes!” one hollered

 

Suddenly the cage turned pink and the demons screamed in pain. By now Genkai was standing with the others watching.

 

“What! Naraku's dead! I helped kill him myself!” she yelled anger evident in her eyes.

 

“Well my little miko, obviously you didn't finish the job.” Naraku walked into the light from the shadows of the shrine.

 

“You bastard!” she yelled as she threw a pink energy ball at him.

 

“You should have finished me off when you had the chance. Now everyone you know and love with pay for it.” He laughed

 

He dodged and shot a tentacle at her and it barley missed. She pulled off her bow and arrows again and shot one at him. He dodged easily and forced his tentacles into the ground. Kagome stood prepared but could only dodge and purify so many. One managed to pierce her stomach. She fell to the ground and began growling. Her body began to glow pink and a barrier appeared around the SD's. Suddenly purification flowed out of her in waves, covering the entire shrine and destroying the puppet in the process.

 

The pink hue around her body slowly faded and the barrier disappeared. Yukina ran over to Kagome, the gang not far behind. She dropped down next to her and tried to lay her down. Kagome growled and Hiei was at Yukina's side ready to protect her if needed. She looked up and everyone gasped. Her eyes were flashing red before settling for blue. Yukina looked at her with a worried face before smiling.

 

“Are you ok Kagome? Let me see your wound.” She said and began to lift Kagome's shirt only to see the wound healing at a very fast pace. Everyone watched in awe as her wound healed completely right before their eyes. Slowly Kagome smiled and stood.

 

“Like I was saying, I'm a miko. I have the ability to heal myself and others.”

 

Kagome felt a tugging at the edge of her mind barrier for the third time that day and glared at Hiei. `Will you stop trying to get into my mind! Its giving me a major headache!'

 

Hiei looked at her in surprise before a scowl formed. `You're a miko and can talk telepathically.'

 

`Obviously, but if you promise not to try and kill me or give me any more headaches, I'll leave my mind open for you. You should know though that there are some private areas that you will not have access to. This is my mind and I'd like some privacy.'

 

`Hn' was his only reply.

 

Suddenly a black hole appeared beneath them and they all fell through. Kagome landed on her behind, non-to gently, along with Yusuke and Kuwabara, while the others landed on their feet.

 

“What the hell! Whose idea was it to drop me through a black hole!?” Kagome yelled, very agitated. She then saw the gang looking at her, amusement dancing in their eyes.

 

“What are you looking at!” she yelled

 

“Miss Kagome, protector of the Shikon no Tama, please calm down. I already have to deal with these bakas, I don't need a bigger headache.”

 

Kagome looked up to see a baby sitting at a desk and finally realized she was in an office of some sort.

 

“Did that baby just talk?”

 

“Kagome, this is Koenma. I think I should tell you our story before you get anymore confused.” Yusuke said.

 

Insert Yu Yu gang's story (I'm too lazy to write all that and I assume you already know the story anyway)

 

An hour later, Kagome nodded. “Its only fair that I tell you my story too.”

 

The gang listened with interest while Hiei was actually living in her past, watching everything through her memory.

 

Another hour later, the gang blinked hard, their eyes dry from not blinking for so long.

 

“So the Shikon no Tama is real? I thought it was a legend.” Kurama breathed.

 

“Kagome, I am going to have to take the Shikon into safe hands. I can not allow you to hold it.” Koenma said.

 

Kagome glared at him, “No. I am its protector. It will stay with me. Anyway even if I did want to give it to you, I couldn't.”

 

“And why is that?!”

 

“Because it fused with my body when I purified it”

 

“So that's how you got that hole in your chest.” Yukina thought aloud.

 

“Then that means you are the Shikon!” Koenma gasped

 

“So?” Kagome glared at him again.

 

“We need to take you into custody!”

 

“You will not cage me like an animal” she growled.

 

By now everyone was glaring at the demigod. Hiei immediately stopped growling once he realized he was and Kurama gave him a confused look. Koenma looked at his team to see they were all on Kagome's side and gave in.

 

“Fine! But I want Hiei with you at all times until this Naraku person is dead.”

 

Hiei glared daggers at the demigod, which resulted in him hiding behind his chair, before walking through the portal made for them to go home. When they got to the other side, Kagome realized they were at her shrine. The smell of oden drifted to her nose and she started jumping up and down.

 

“What's your problem?” Yusuke asked

 

“Oden! My mother made oden!” She said happily.

 

They all looked at her in confusion. “How can you smell that? Only a demon has that good sense of smell.” Yusuke narrowed his eyes at her.

 

She smiled at him nervously, “WellIgottago!Myoden'swaiting!Seeyouguystomorrow!” She said quickly before running for the door and locking it. (Translation: “Well I gotta go! My oden's waiting! See you guys tomorrow!”)

 

They all shook their head before splitting up to go home. Hiei glared in the direction of the house and jumped up into a tree right outside Kagome's window. He got comfortable and listened as Kagome searched for her family.

 

Kagome walked into the house and ran to the kitchen.

 

“Hi, I'm ho…..” She looked at the empty kitchen in confusion. She saw a note on the counter and picked it up.

 

Kagome,

 

We decided to visit some relatives and won't be back for a couple weeks. That way if anymore demons come we won't be in the way. I made you some oden and I love you. See you in a couple weeks! Oh and Souta says hi

 

Love,

Mom

 

Kagome frowned as she put the note in the trash. Her frown quickly disappeared at the sight of her oden on the table. She picked up the whole container and walked up to her room. She closed and locked the door before sitting down on her bed. She immediately stood back up when she felt something hard under her butt. She reached in her pocket and pulled out the pouches. She had completely forgot about them. Curious, she opened the blue-ribboned one and sparked it with her miko power. A 3-D map appeared in front of her and she gasped. It showed where she was and exactly where she needed to go to find the waterfall. There was a dot that indicated where she was and she stood. She walked around her room and was amazed to see the dot move too.

 

`This is sooo cool!'

 

Kagome felt eyes on her and looked out her window. She went over to it and opened it.

 

“You don't have to sleep outside, my family is out of town so you could sleep in my brothers room.”

 

There was no response.

 

“Fine, but I'll leave my window unlocked if you change your mind.” She said as she closed it and sat on her bed to study the map and eat her oden. When she finished her favorite snack, she sparked the pouch again and the map disappeared. She turned off her light and got under the covers. The last thought running through her head was finding the waterfall in the morning.
