Chapter 2

 

“Please, Akito. Don't be so formal. You will scare them off if you keep that up.” A woman's voice replied.

 

“Of course, Kagome.” the demon, know known as Akito, said.

 

Where is she? I can't sense her energy. Kuwabara thought. Why can't I sense her spirit?

 

“Who are you? Where are you hiding?” demanded the diplomatic Yusuke. (yeah right like that will ever happen. Lol)

 

“Awe, Yusuke Urameshi. It is nice to finally meet you.”

 

“I am sorry, but why is it that we can not sense you?” Kurama asked politely.

 

“Oh, I'm sorry. Where are my manners?”

 

In from of them a young woman stepped forward out of the shadows.

 

“Now is that better?” the young woman asked. “Hello, Botan. It is nice to see you again. How long has it been? Almost five hundred years has it not?”

 

“Yes, Kagome, it has. Give or take a few years.” Botan said. She was still cheerful, but she seemed to show true loyalty and respect for the woman in front of them.

 

The rest of her audience didn't say anything. They were still looking upon her with awe.

 

“Whoo! Why aren't you an old hag like granma?” demanded Yusuke once again.

 

Uh, oh. Kurama thought.

 

Yusuke and the newly reformed team then heard a chuckle. Surprisingly, it came from the woman that had just been unintentionally been insulted.

 

The small chuckle was soon replaced by a fill blown laugh. Kagome's small frame shook with her laughter. Her laugh sounded sweet and contagious. It was warn and flowing. It almost seemed to float in the air, continuing to bring sweet happiness to the entire room. Her laughter, however, started to come down in volume and was now a small giggle.

 

“Oh, I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it,” Kagome giggled a little more. She looked at the stumped looks of her audience, except Hiei, of course.

 

“I'm afraid, Yusuke, that immortals don't get old and die. We don't age beyond a certain age as well.”

 

“Immortal? Huh?” Kuwabara asked. “But I thought that you were human?”

 

“Yes, Kazuma Kuwabara, immortal.” Kagome shifted her eyes to Kuwabara. “After all, how do you explain me being alive after all of years ago that I put up the barrier? And as for being human: I am. I will explain in due time.”

 

Curious. She seems to know each and everyone of us. Where is she getting her information? I wonder? Kurama came out of his thoughts when Yusuke spoke again.

 

“So, you are the one that put up the barrier?”

 

“Why, yes. I am. Though I am afraid that the demons don't appreciate me for that now did they, Hiei Janganshi?”

 

“Hn,” In a flash that no one saw but Kagome and Kurama, Hiei and Akito had two swords raised above their heads. They saw that the swords were being pushed by each other; neither one gaining any real advantage.

 

“Akito, stand down.”

 

“Milady, he insulted you. I can not let that pass.”

 

“Akito, stand down now!” Kagome's energy level flared up for just a millisecond.

 

Such power! How can she have that much power? I have never felt something like this before. Hiei thought. Maybe they can teach me something after all.

 

Akito rushed back, sheathed his sword, and bowed.

 

“I am sorry, Lady Kagome. I was out of line. I will except any punishment that I will receive.”

 

“Akito, just don't let it happen again. You know what he will do if he finds out about this.”

 

“Yes, milady.”

 

“Now don't you start that up again. You know I hate it when you do that.”

 

“I'm sorry. I will try to remember, Kagome.”

 

Kagome nodded and turned her attention back to Hiei. Hiei looked at her. He paused to look at the now amused Akito. He sensed no hostility toward himself so he sheathed his blade with a swordmans well- earned skill.

 

That is odd. Yusuke insulted her but he didn't flinch. He seems amused by something now. What does he find so amusing I wonder? Kurama thought.

 

“I'm sorry about that, Hiei. He is not fond of anyone being remotely rude or disrespectful to me.”

 

“Lady Kagome, please…” Kurama started to apologize, but he was interrupted by Kagome.

 

“Shuiichi Minamino, Kagome is fine. I don't like that title.” Kagome stated. “Now that I think about it. What name do you prefer to be called as? You have so many that I don't know which one to use.”

 

“What do you mean, Lad…” Kurama was interrupted once again.

 

“Please use `Kagome'. I don't like the title before or after my name if it is all the same to you. And to answer you question you have three names at the moment. You have your human name, Shuiichi Minamino, your demon name, Youko Kurama, or your third name, Kurama, what one do you prefer?”

 

“Kurama, will do fine. Thank you for asking.”

 

She knew what name I went by. Why did she even ask? She seems to know all about us. What is she trying to pull? What is she trying to find? Kurama thought.

 

“Well, then, Kurama it is. Now, on to business. Am I to presume that you are all here, with the exception of Hiei of course, to ask my help?”

 

No one answered or replied.

 

“I thought as much. Well, let me speak what you won't ask as of this moment.”

 

Botan opened her mouth to speak, but closed it again. They didn't really know what to say. They couldn't really come out and say, “Hey, can you put up the barrier just in case we screw up in trying to demon world back together?”

 

“Since you don't know how to ask, and I am on a busy schedule I will start from the top.” Kagome looked at them all. She looked at them all to make sure that they were in fact listening to her. “You are here to ask my help to put the barrier up if you do not succeed in your mission. Hiei is here for another reason. What that reason is, I will leave it up to him to tell you on his own.”

 

Kagome walked up to them. Kurama and the others finally got to see what she looked like up front. She looked more beautiful up close that she did farther away. She looked like an angel farther away with her fight dress and flowing black hair, but now she looked like a goddess.

 

Is it me or am I in heaven? Kuwabara thought. He, however, wasn't the only one to have similar thoughts.

 

“I have an offer for you. I will not put the barrier back up unless it is my last option. I will, however, train you to become stronger. I wish to make you one of my strongest allies.”

 

“Huh? Why would we train with you?” Yusuke asked in an effort to conceal his ever growing interest.

 

“As you have all ready been informed, the Demon world is in chaos. What you don't know is why or who.”

 

“Yeah, demons want back into the Human world.”

 

“Yes, and no, Kuwabara. You are missing something.”
Kagome suddenly frowned. She looked at her surroundings and frowned deeper.

 

“Please follow me. We will discuss this in a more comfortable setting.” Kagome did an about face and walked to the suddenly open door in the back of the room.

 

Akito disappeared into the shadows of the room.

 

Hiei was the first to follow Kagome out of the room. He didn't even look behind him to make sure that the others were following.

 

Kurama, Botan, Yusuke, and Kuwabara followed behind Hiei.

 

What is in store for us? was Kurama's last thought before he walked through the door that shut behind him.

 

@@2@@

 

Ten minutes after following Kagome down the many hallways and passages, she stopped in front of a door.

 

Without turning she said, “I warn you all, if you try to open this door without my permission or the Lords permission, you will die a very painful death that will seem like it lasts an eternity.

 

What? No one can kill me. There is no one that strong anymore, well not anyone that wants to kill me anyway. The previous two lords wouldn't mind to try, but they don't know that I have been getting stronger every day. Yusuke thought.

 

Similar thoughts went through Kurama's and Hiei's thoughts. Kuwabara simply gulped and nodded.

 

Let's see if they take my advice? Kagome thought.

 

Kagome opened the door and held it open for the other to walk in before she too followed. The door slowly closed behind them.

 

Kurama first thought when entering the mysterious room was: Wow!

 

Shelves of books upon shelves of books filled the room. Unlit half-burned candles were scattered around the library. Large windows in-between the aisles provided the right amount of light to see. Even for a human to see.

 

“This is the library, or for me, the study.” Kagome walked fully into the room looking upon the room with obvious comfort and pride.

 

She continued walking to the back of the large room to sit in a chair behind a desk. She shuffled papers around on the desk.

 

“Where did that paper go?” Kagome whispered more so to herself. She looked around the desk. She opened a few drawers and closed them again after she didn't find what she was looking for.

 

Kagome looked up at them. She noticed that they hadn't moved a muscle from their positions in the room. They stood in the middle of the room staring at something a little above their heads.

 

“What is it?” Kagome asked curiously.

 

Kagome walked out from behind the desk and up to them. She followed their eyes direction and looked up. On a top of a medium-sized platform, there on a stand, there lay three swords.

 

The swords were all about the same length. The one on top had an old, dirty sheath. Its aura that it gave off was powerful and deadly. The second sword on the stand had a peaceful aura. It was well taken cared of and had a well-polished hilt. The third and final sword was nothing like the others. It had the darkest power radiating off it. Although it looked very refined it was anything but.

 

Ah, now I see. Kagome thought.

 

“What are those swords? I sense great power.” Hiei demanded. Kurama wasn't fooled. He sensed a slight hint of curiosity and discovery coming off of him.

 

“That, Hiei, are the three swords of the lord of this home. The top one is named Tetsaiga. It has the ability to kill a hundred demons in one swing. The second is named Tensaiga. It has the ability to bring back the dead! And the last, but not least in any way, is called Tokijin. It was made from an evil demon with an evil being. The first two are made from the same fang.

 

Kagome glanced one more time at the swords before she looked away. A flash of despair came over her features and eyes. It was gone in a flash, but it didn't go unnoticed. Kagome walked forward again to her desk.

 

Yusuke glanced at Kagome and then back at the others. Kurama was all ready wisely following Kagome. Kuwabara stood there looking dumb like always, and Hiei was just simply looking at the swords with…what was that…curiosity?

 

Yusuke looked up at the swords again.

 

Why not? he thought. He reached out and grabbed the closest sword: Tokijin. The second that his hand touched it he was thrown across the room. His back slammed into two shelves of books before he fell to the floor stunned.

 

“Uh, oh!” Kagome shouted. She ran over to Tokijin and watched as a green misty substance was leaking over the room. She looked at it for a second and then ran to Yusuke.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“Yeah, what the hell was that?”

 

“That, Yusuke, was your curiosity showing its ugly head. Couldn't you have just have not touched it? Now, you are going to get it. Didn't you feel the evil energy coming off it? There is only one person that can touch that sword and that is the lord of this house.”

 

Kagome stood up after she was sure that he was fine.

 

He is so lucky that he is powerful enough to take a hit like that. If any normal demon touched that handle they would have been blown to smithereens! Well, Sesshomaru is not going to be happy at all about this! Kagome thought.

 

“Hey, wait a minute. What do you mean by `going to get it'?” Yusuke asked.

 

“You have just touched his sword. He is going to be ticked!”

 

“Who is `he'? Is he your mate?” inquired a curious Kurama.

 

“Oh, no! He is not my mate. He is my older brother.”

 

Kurama for some odd reason felt oddly comforted by this news.

 

“What? How does that work? Is he a human immortal, too?” Kuwabara asked in confusion.

 

Kagome gave a horrified look. “Oh, no, no, no! He is most certainly a demon. And don't you dare to say otherwise. You will soon find your head missing if you do.” Kagome sighed. “Botan, what exactly did you tell these boys?”

 

“Nothing that was important. I felt it that you be the one to tell them on your own time. I know what an…interesting story it is.”

 

“Well, this does complicate things a bit. Ah, well. I guess that this is going to be a very brief discussion then.”

 

“Why do you say that?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Because he is coming. And he is pissed.”

 

Suddenly a white blur rushed in. The door slammed open then slammed back shut from the blunt force that was put on it. A growl was heard throughout the large library. A body to seemed to materialize in front of them with the sword, Tokijin, in his claws.

 

The male demon in form of them was incredibly powerful. He had long claws, long white hair, amber eyes, and a blue, half-shaped moon on his forehead. On his cheeks were two maroon stripes.

 

“What did you do?” his voice growled out.

 

“Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell them to not touch the swords, especially Tokijin.” Kagome said before anyone could reply.

 

“I expect that you have explained everything that needs explaining.” the demon stated more than asked.

 

“No, I was about to. It took them longer to get here than I thought that they would.”

 

“Hurry up. And come up with a good explanation as to why you had to use your powers. I will meet you in the dojo in twenty minutes.”

 

The demon looked at the other occupants of the room and said, “And you had better not be late. I don't have time for her to explain everything. Be quiet or I will kill you.”

 

The demon walked out of the room in a stoic manner. He did not look at any of them as he walked out.

 

“Who the hell was that?” Yusuke demanded of Kagome.

 

Yusuke found himself in-bedded in the wall of the room with the mysterious demon's hand clasped around his throat.

 

“Show some respect. It is because of her that you are even alive. I expect you to show the proper respect to my sister. Watch yourself or you won't see the light of day ever again.” the demon released Yusuke, who fell to the floor for the second time that day.

 

He let his true power to flare for a millisecond in an obvious warning before he seemingly disappeared out of sight and sense.

 

Yusuke remained on the floor. He was stunned into silence over the power that he felt in that one demon. To his knowledge, both of their power levels shouldn't exist. He didn't know of anyone that strong. He couldn't even beat them if he tried.

 

Now I'm interested!

 

“That, Yusuke Urameshi, was my brother. His name is Lord Sesshomaru. I wouldn't be disrespectful to him if I were you.”

 

Yusuke opened his mouth to come up with some smart-ass comment to only come up with none. He wisely shut it and stood up.

 

“Now, since I only have a few minutes to explain this to you I am going to go fast and short. You will learn more details when I and you have more time.

 

Kagome turned very serious then. Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Botan knew that this is what they have been waiting for. This was where they could get some answers.

 

“Ok, the short version. As you all know, the King of Demon World is dead. What you don't know is why or how. He was killed because demons of this realm are mad. Older, ancient, demons have been in hiding for the five hundred years that the four worlds have been separated. They could have conquered the Demon world a long time ago, but at the time they didn't have any interest in the stupid politics of this realm. When the three previously ruling demons ruled they had no problem with that. However, when the barrier went down and the new king put in charge, they decided that the human world was all that they missed. It had thousands of humans that they so desperately wanted. They want it to be like it was before the barrier.”

 

“Then why don't you put the barrier back up and save us all the trouble.” Yusuke asked.

 

“It is more complicated than that. I made a grave mistake when I put that barrier up. I will only put it up if I have no other choice. And please do not ask why. It is of little importance at the moment. The main thing that is to be discussed is the assurance that the four worlds are kept in a balance. With the oldest demon surfacing again, the Human world will crumple. As of this moment, the only reason that the Human world is not invaded by now is because they are gathering followers to their cause.”

 

“Why are they gathering followers?” Kuwabara asked. “I mean, what is keeping them from taking over right now?” Kuwabara asked nervously as if he was afraid of the answer.

 

What is happening? Man, I don't want to die. I haven't even gotten Yukina's attention yet! What am I going to do?! Kuwabara thought.

 

“They are gathering followers because they are going to have to fight demons like Sesshomaru that you just saw. We are the ones that are trying to keep the peace. The ones that are trying to take down the Human world is what we can the `factions'. They are the reason as to why you are here. I offer to help train you, along with some other allies as well, to gain your full potential. In exchange, I ask that you help us in our goal. But I must warn you that it is not going to be easy. There are demons that will train you that will not go easy on you. And fighting the factions will not be easy at you current level of power. So what do you say? Will you help us and join with us or not?”

 

Kagome stood there looking at each of them. She was sure that they would agree, but she wanted them to say it outright.
