InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Forbidden Kagome ❯ Chapter 3

Hey everyone! I'm back, and I'd like to give a great big “Thank you” to all of my reviewers. They mean so much to me. Although, I should let every last one of you know that when I come across writer's blocks, it lasts for a long time. So when that happens, I'll ask for everyone's help to continue the story. If no one sends any helpful ideas, I'll either have to discontinue the story or give it to someone else.

 

Now, that being said, I own nothing except for my own account for World of Warcraft and all my characters on it. (It's a fun game, for those of you who like massive online killing games for only $14.95 a month.)

 

By the way, Yukina has the most votes so far. You all have 2 more chapters until the polls are closed, so vote vote vote!! (And please, only one vote per reviewer per chapter. Thnx!!!)

 

Just one last thing, before we get started here. I'm not very good at picking out different outfits for people, as I have little to no fashion sense of my own. If you have any suggestions for outfits that Kagome and Souta can wear, I'd really appreciate it. And of course, you will be given proper thanks and recognition. Thanks!!!!!Now, on wit da ficcy!!!

 

~*~*~ Last Time ~*~*~

 

At the sound of her voice, everyone stopped and looked at her, waiting for her to continue.  They weren't disappointed.

“An old friend of mine has asked a favor of me and I cannot refuse.  His two grandchildren have just recently found out that they are demons, so I'll need your help in training them.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  And no complaining either; this will get you out of your jobs for a little while.”

 

~*~*~ This Time ~*~*~

 

Yusuke sat still for a minute, then began jumping for joy. Kuwabara blinked and slowly grinned, while turning to look at Yukina, who was suddenly nowhere to be seen. Hiei just `Hn'd' and shifted his stance while Kurama looked interested at the new information.

 

“Genkai, how did his grandchildren not know that they're demons, and what kind of demons are they?” the avatar asked.

 

Genkai grinned to herself before answering, imagining the looks on all of their faces. “They didn't know they are demons because a very powerful spell was placed on them when they were still very young. As for the type of demons that they are, their mother did not tell me. She only said that they had ice capabilities. And she said that the eldest child also has some miko abilities, so I wouldn't piss her off.

 

Their names are Kagome and Souta. Kagome is the eldest, and Souta is the youngest. They will be here tomorrow, and staying for the next several months. No trying to kill Kagome because she's a miko, and no killing Souta because he's related to her. After the allotted time, Kagome will be going home, and Souta will be staying here.”

 

Yukina timidly spoke up, causing all heads to swivel towards her, making her blush. “Genkai, why will Kagome be going home, and Souta staying here?”

 

Everyone looked back to Genkai, and Yusuke did an impression of a fish gasping for water. Genkai rolled her eyes.

 

“Kagome will be going back because she has a quest to finish. Souta has nothing to do with the quest; therefore he will be staying here for more training. She will only be here to learn to control her demon abilities, and maybe learn some new ones.”

 

Kuwabara spoke up next. “How old are they? Is Kagome really pretty? What's their last name?” In his eagerness, he jumped from foot to foot, unable to keep still.

 

Everyone quirked an eyebrow. Yusuke began to grin. “I don't believe it,” he said. “Kuwabara actually asked some smart questions for once!”

 

Kuwabara pointedly ignored him and looked to Genkai for the answers.

 

“Kagome is 18, while Souta is 16 1/2. I have no idea if Kagome is `pretty.' And their last name is Higurashi, of the Sunset Shrine.”

 

“Um…Genkai? Your friend's name wouldn't happen to be…Ongi, would it?” asked Yusuke, a bit shakily.

 

“Not that it's any concern of yours, Dimwit, but yes, it is.” As an afterthought, she added, “Why do you ask?”

 

“Well, not that it's any concern of yours, but they are my cousins. And yes Kuwabara, Kagome is pretty. In fact, most would say she's drop-dead-gorgeous.”

 

Kurama was about to say something, but just then, everyone's communicators went off. Grumbling, Yusuke reached into his pocket and pulled his out.

 

“What do you want now?!” he screamed into the device.

 

“No need to be so loud, Yusuke. Koenma just wants to have a chat with all of you, including Genkai, and Yukina if she wants.” said a bright, cheery voice on the other end. Almost immediately after that, a `POP' was heard and a girl on an oar was floating overhead.

 

She was about 5'5” and had bright blue hair. Her eyes were a bright pink, which perfectly matched her kimono. She was Botan the Grim Reaper, aka the ferry girl to the afterlife.

 

“Is everyone ready to go? Yukina, would you like to go too?” she asked. After hearing a unanimous bout of `yeses', she opened a portal and watched everyone walk through before following herself.

 

When she was through and the portal had closed behind her, Yusuke was screaming at Koenma, Kurama was trying to calm him down, Hiei and Kuwabara were watching Yukina, who was looking around, and Genkai was watching Yusuke scream at the pint-sized ruler. Botan giggled and shook her head, while walking over to Yukina to wait.

 

Finally, five minutes later, the situation was resolved and everyone was paying attention to the screen in front of Koenma's desk. On it was several pictures and lots of information. Strangely enough, it was all about Kagome and Souta.

 

“Now, as you can see, we still have no idea as to what kind of demons they are. However, we do know that they have been living here ever since the Forbidden War a little under 500 years ago.” Koenma drawled, quickly losing, and then regaining interest as he went on. “About 3 years ago, Kagome fell through a well on her property and was transported 500 years into the past, to a time just shortly before she was born.

 

While she was there, she was attacked by a centipede demon and freed an inu-hanyou by the name of Inuyasha. During the fight, the centipede bit Kagome and a small jewel was torn from her body. This jewel is known as the Shikon no Tama.”

 

At this, Yukina, Hiei, Kurama, and Yoko leaned forward, a bit surprised. Wasn't the legendary Shikon no Tama just that, a legend? Koenma, unaware of the increase in attention, droned on.

 

“While she was protecting the jewel, it was stolen from her by a crow demon. Inuyasha cut the crow into several pieces, but because the bird had swallowed the jewel, it began to regenerate. Kagome took a leg of the demon and attached it to an arrow that she had. When she shot it, the arrow ended up shattering the jewel, sending it across the entire continent. Since then, she has been going back and forth between times, trying to right her mistake and put the jewel back together.

 

Along the way, she has made friends and even adopted a small kit by the name of Shippo. Her friends include a taijiya by the name of Sango, and a monk named Miroku. Both are very powerful when provoked. Kagome has even befriended Prince Koga and Lord Sesshomaru. And all of her friends have one thing in common, other than knowing her: they all have a reason to kill Naraku. There have been many battles, but due to a technicality, they have never been able to win, which brings us to the present.

 

Recently, as in a couple days ago, she was attacked by a youkai while Inuyasha was showing a fire apparition by the name of Sako to the Ice Domain.”

 

Here, Yukina gasped, drawing attention to herself once more. Koenma raised an eyebrow and Yukina blushed and began to explain. “I have heard stories of Sako. He came to the Ice Domain in search of the princess he had fallen in love with to ask her to be his mate. She agreed, even though it meant that she would be thrown out of the Domain forever. A few years later, they had children, the Forbidden War began, and she and the children disappeared. This was only a couple years after I was born.”

 

While listening to his sister speak, Hiei felt an ounce of respect grow for the couple that had thrown everything away for their love. He wouldn't admit it in 10,000 years, to anyone, but he was searching for that kind of love with someone. (Majorly OC, I know. Leave me alone, it's my fic!!!) He was also slightly curious as to what might have happened to the wife and children, but kept quiet as he was wont to do.

 

Koenma looked surprised at this. “Thank you Yukina. Anyways, that was all I had. Yes, training Kagome and her brother will get you off of your regular duties, but not if the world is in danger.”

 

“Koenma, with you in charge around here, the world is always in danger.” said Botan, snickering. Everyone turned to look at her, causing her to blush. “Oopsie. Did, uh, did I say that out loud? Eh heh heh, my bad.” Koenma just gave her a `We'll-talk-about-this-later look' and in a deadpan voice told her to take everyone home.

 

~*~ With Kagome, a couple hours ago ~*~

 

“Come on Kagome, you can do better than that! Even Souta could make the air colder!!” called Sangi. Kagome just growled and suddenly the temperature dropped a good thirty degrees, and since it was 110 in the shade, it was very much appreciated.

 

“Mom, I'm the one who told him how, remember?! And anyways, didn't you say that Souta was mainly ice while I was mainly fire? So it's only natural for him to get this stuff quicker than me. Besides, we've been out here for four hours nonstop and I have to use the bathroom. But that's inside, outside the barrier.

 

And according to you, if anyone feels our energy, people will try to come and kill us. So instead of teaching us how to mask our energy, you teach us to use our powers, making them stronger, which will only attract even more powerful people to come and kill us. So please, give me a small break.”

 

Souta stood on the sidelines, eating the snow that he was making, glad to have something cold in him. True, he had mastered this technique before Kagome, but he was exhausted to the point that he had to lean on something, or just fall over onto his face. Plus, he needed the bathroom too.

 

Sangi looked at her daughter, then at her son and sighed. “Alright you two, come here. I'm going to put a small spell on you that will alter your energies and scents. While you go use the bathroom, I'm going to make a phone call. But don't dawdle or there'll be hell to pay in the form of your training, understand?”

 

A chorus of `Yes Mom' rang through the clearing as the children quickly stood in front of her. She placed her hands on their heads while mumbling under her breath. After a couple seconds, she pulled away and motioned towards the house. The children grinned and took off running.

 

Sangi shook her head and followed them inside, stopping at the phone. She dialed the number her father had given her and waited. After two rings, some picked up.

 

“…”

 

“Hello Genkai. My name is Sangi, Ongi is my father and an old friend of yours. He's the one who gave me your number. I was wondering if you would help us with something. My children have recently realized that their demons. They didn't know until last night because of a powerful spell placed on them.”

 

“…”

 

“Not much I'm afraid. I was calling because they have ice capabilities, my son more so than my daughter. I heard that you have an ice maiden on your shrine that might be able to help. I also know that you don't really hate demons, or want to kill Forbidden children.” Sangi placed an extra emphasis on the word Forbidden, hoping that Genkai would understand.

 

“…”

 

“Yes, that's alright. They're home-schooled anyway. And they are always extremely respectful, sometimes overly so.”

 

“…” Click.

 

Hanging up the phone, Sangi turned around to find her children right behind her. “Tomorrow, you're going over to Genkai's temple for extensive training. You'll be there for several months.”

 

At this, Kagome and Souta let out a huge breath in relief. Sangi smirked at them.

 

“Don't get your hopes up. From what Grandpa told me, she's even stricter and harsher than I am.”

 

Kagome's mouth fell in disbelief while Souta just fell over backwards. When they could finally speak again, they exploded. “WHAT?! Are you kidding me?! How can anyone be meaner than you?” Kagome yelled while Souta screamed in unison.

 

Sangi and Kagome glared at him, effectively silencing him. Sangi them clapped her hands. “Alright you two, back outside. Let's go.”

 

The children groaned, but went outside as they were told. For the next four hours, Sangi taught them how to mask their energies and change their appearances. Then, something she said began nagging at Kagome's mind.

 

“Mom, why are we only going to be there for a few months? Wouldn't full training take years?”

 

Sangi sighed and thought up a quick, white lie, thankful that she hadn't taught her children how to smell a lie. “Grandpa's birthday is in a few months and I want you two here and not too exhausted to celebrate it. But you can't tell anyone, all right? That goes for the both of you.”

 

Kagome and Souta glanced at each other before turning back to their mother and nodding their heads.

 

“Good. Now, change your hair color back to all black. I don't want to see a speck of blue or white, you hear?”

 

Kagome groaned, but did as she was told. After one more hour of training, Sangi took them inside and made them dinner. After five minutes, both children had their heads on the table, imaginary logs and chainsaws above them. (In case you don't know, they are asleep and snoring very loudly.) Sangi just shook her head and took them to their rooms.

 

While in each room, she packed one bag, giving them enough underwear and two casual outfits. She was going to miss her children, but she knew that they needed this training, especially for what lay ahead in their future, or rather, their past.
