Track 12

 

It had been a week and went to check in on the five spike demons for-

“-Any progress.”

There was only one outside of the bar at the time. “Yes sir. We got a forbidden one cornered on eighty-first and Mason streets as of twenty minutes ago. Tom told me she was a female, short, wore dark colors, black and red hair, spoke with an accent.”

“Thank you.”

Getting back on the bus again Shuichi saw the street signs increase in number. He got off on the stop at eight first street and walked towards the alley behind Mason when he began running. If that wasn't her then he really was insane. Shuichi ran up in the alley seeing five youkai, three neko and two raccoon kicking something into a corner. He felt bad, this was his fault they were beating up on her, he basically led them to her. The smell of her blood was getting to him, there was too much of it.

“Get away from her now!”

The youkai turned and ready to fight Shuichi disposed of them easily with the only seed he carried with him while in America. Turning the whip back into a rose seed after shredding the youkai he made his way down to Kagome seeing her unconscious. There was something wrong with her besides the fact that she was covered in cuts and seriously wounded. He noticed some of her previous wounds had been poorly cared for. He picked her up going into a corner store buying a large jacket putting her in it and got on a bus going back to his dorm. He carried her up the stairs wondering how a group of lesser youkai could best her and bathed her then dressed her wounds having to take out a number of glass shards from her back. What has happened to her in these sixteen months or so? Something was very wrong, and he hoped she would wake up before he left for class tomorrow or after. Not like he could ask any of the people in the dorm to look after her, she'd run off again. How'd she get to America anyway? Shuichi laid down on his floor on a blanket and drifted off into a light sleep.

Waking in the morning, Shuichi noticed that Kagome was asleep having troubled dreams once again. And he was going to have yet another troubled day of class in seeing how Yoko didn't want to acknowledge himself believing he would lead him to no where again. Sighing, Shuichi stood taking a shower, getting dressed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After coming back seeing Kagome still asleep he wrote a very large message that she would be sure to see in hopes that if she did wake up while he was gone, she would stay. Posting the message up on the door and again on the window he picked up his messenger bag and left for the bus to class.

Kagome opened her eyes not knowing where she was. She looked around not smelling anything familiar but noticed whoever's room she was in, they had most likely been the ones to fix her wounds properly. Not like she ever had time to. The one time she went to a hospital because she was near death they wanted to put her into a homeless shelter or an orphanage not sure of her age that she wasn't willing to give, so she had to flee. Injured. Which has been rather difficult since Koenma…

Sighing she stood noticing she was in a pair of baggy sweat pants and a shirt that said SUNY. Grey and red. Not too bad. She stood, hurting and fell down trying not to cry. Those bastards that had cornered her fractured her left leg. And she was weak and it would take a while to heal. She stood again used to pain and poorly limped towards the window finding a very large note half the size of the window on it written in Japanese.

Kagome. I found you in an alley and got you away from those youkai. PLEASE STAY until I return. You are in my dorm room at SUNY in New York. DO NOT LEAVE, PLEASE.

Shuichi. Great. She was found, and by him of all creatures in the world. She would get a world of pain most likely the likes she never even thought of before if Koenma decided to open a portal finding her here. She left a message on the bottom of each note then went out of the fire escape window.

Shuichi returned going up his stairs glad he had gotten, yes, a B minus on the last quiz in Microeconomics. It was oddly enough the highest grade on the quiz, with the average a C minus. The class was incredibly challenging, but with a curve and a good grade on the final, he'd pull an A out of the -

Kagome was gone. Throwing down his books he quickly read the note written in perfect kanji on the bottom of the window note.

Grateful, but you shouldn't've helped. Don't come after me. I can't stay.

`Yoko now would be a good time to stop ignoring me or wake up from your incredibly long hibernation and help me.' No response. `Yoko if you don't believe me look at the note she left even if you don't know her hand writing you know I don't take women up here, a woman wrote this kanji. If I don't take women up here then why is there a scent of a woman on my bed why-`

`What are you babbling on about ningen.'

`Back to ningen…Kagome was here. Smell for yourself then read the note…I TRIED waking you up but you wouldn't after the last time I messed up in finding her-`

`-go out the window to the ground level. Why was she bleeding.'

Shuichi did as instructed. `Some youkai attacked her in an alley and she was already injured before.'

`You're trying to hide something from me when it comes to Kagome I can make your life hell ningen do not forget that.'

Worse than this? `I asked a group of spike youkai to look for her and apparently they attacked her, the group of theirs that found her. I led them to-`

`-go right. I will deal with you later-`

`-Yoko I'm sorry it's just that I don't, I'm not me when you aren't there and I figured I can't find her on my own but youkai would know-`

`-I said I will deal with you later. Go down the street the red car with the stripe went down…I don't care jump over the cars-`

`-Yoko I am ningen, these people, nearly all of them here are ningen I can not do this here-`

`-if someone truly stops you say you are being filmed for an action movie do it now Shuichi.'

Shuichi made his way through bumper to bumper traffic by jumping cars with the grace of a fox. When he crossed the street he thought again.

`Where now.'

`Her scent is getting colder…On the wind go left once you reach that alley.'

Shuichi began his jog again wanting desperately to find Kagome, but before Friday. She had been asleep for five days and tomorrow was the last class before their time off to study for finals. Make Yoko happy, he could find some peace.

`The alley is a dead end-`

`-go into the door with the black and white letters, pawn shop…Go through the entrance and, make a left- Go across the street now-`

`-Yoko you are going to get us killed-`

`-if you want me to do this then feel free to stand by. Go right and continue down this road- Gone.'

Shuichi sighed. Things like this made him want to have a break in between his classes. Not sure what to do he went back to the street out of the side path. Fourteenth and Becker. She had gotten far in the four hours she was away, if injured and not by rooftop. Meaning something was extremely wrong for her to be walking amongst ningen.

`Yoko something's wrong with Kagome. I sensed it and almost felt it when I saw her, and now…Why would she take this way, go through a store?'

`I don't know. What did you think was wrong- There she is!'

Kagome had entered a bus after an old man in a trench coat and sat down after paying. Shuichi had shot his head up in the direction he felt Yoko looking to see a business man get on the bus after another business man.

`I didn't see her where-`

`-on the bus ningen move your feet and get on it before it leaves!'

Shuichi used some of his energy catching up to the bus seconds before it rolled off. Depositing two dollars into the machine he looked around and saw her sitting next to a kid carrying a box. He sat next to her surprised at her words.

“Hey.”

Shuichi was confused. “Why did you leave.”

“Why did you come after me when I left two messages as well asking you not to. I'm not supposed to be around you.”

“Why? You know Yoko loves you Kagome and if Koenma doesn't like it then he doesn't have to.”

Kagome sighed turning around looking out of the window. “I'm not supposed to be around you because Koenma forbid me from finding you or contacting you. Both of you.”

“Hiei and myself?”

“Then all three of you. Activate the crystal if I did.”

`Bastard.'

“But you could have at least, said goodbye. Told someone you weren't going to be in school any longer Yoko hasn't been the same since you, left him in the feudal era Kagome. I think you might be his soul mate, and for a spirit fox to be without his soul mate is very bad for them.”

Kagome sighed. “You think I don't know that.”

“So then if you did want to be with Yoko why didn't you say something to him about you not being allowed to see us! You are a good-“

“-Koenma banished me from Japan, so I couldn't even see you. I didn't even get to take anything with me once he kicked me out of Rekai.” Kagome continued looking out of the window. “And he told me to leave you all in the feudal era and go to him first.”

`If she doesn't kill him first, I will.'

“So that's why…So then why are you sitting here now if you aren't supposed to be around us. Me, him.”

“The more I think about his words “Do not seek Kurama and Hiei”, he didn't say you could find me. And you did, so if I did decide to stay then it wouldn't be against his words.”

“Then why are you running away?”

“I just keep moving. Feels,” She thought for a while. “Safer. When I left the portal I was in some Canadian city north of Oregon. And then I walked to California taking busses and hitching rides. And I made my way up here. I tried staying in Makai, but Hiei was there, and after the first few weeks I was all but dead as being marked in all. Koenma also sealed my energy last I saw him.”

The news hit Shuichi hard. “So that's why you can't heal like you normally do, and the old injuries…Why those lesser youkai could defeat you…Oh God…”

Kagome sighed. “Don't worry about it. It was the first time I was attacked in a big city since I left Boston, so I figure I could stay for a bit longer until the next one then head down to Miami or something.”

“How can you even think to tell me not to worry about Koenma sealing your energy doing this to you to you he sent you a death sentence Kagome and expected you to live it out.”

“Ain't dead yet am I.” She smiled seeing a kid get into the bus line with a balloon. “Just running away from everything and everyone-“

“-You're coming back to my dorm room with me. One, because you will either wear yourself out doing this or get killed. Two, because like it or not I am your friend. And three,-“

Kagome smiled in the window as the bus drove off. “-Yoko would break free on this bus and drag me back anyway so I might as well not make a scene.”

`See? Told you she remembered me.'

“Then it's settled. You're staying with me back at SUNY dorm.”

“And when you're scholarship is done with and you have to go back to Japan I'll keep running. Why you should let me leave now Shuichi.”

Shuichi had forgot about that. He couldn't stay here. He barley had enough money even with the crappy job he acquired even though he wasn't supposed to have a job. Not knowing how to reply Kagome beat him to it.

“You don't know what to say to that do you? All you have to say is you're free of me Kagome, and you can go back to even forgetting I was alive, that you ever met me-“

“-that he even fell in love with you?”

Kagome looked out of the window seeing the bus begin to loop around towards where the SUNY campus dorms were. “Worth a shot.”

“Why the hell would he even want to do that- even think of doing that Kagome? He wants you to be his mate, not one of the hundreds of women he as rutted with in the past. Do you honestly want him to forget you?”

“I just want to be left alone by everyone and have a life that isn't plagued by me being forbidden monster. But that isn't going to happen, so I have to think of other stuffs.”

“You want a family.”

Kagome still looked out of the window knowing still Shuichi looking at her. “How could you tell.”

“I saw you almost gaze at that girl with a balloon ten stops ago. You wish you didn't have to leave Yoko.”

“I do.”

“You don't! This can all work out!”

“What truly motivates you. Why would you want a youkai living with you who wouldn't be your wife. And if I even did become his mate, then what would happen to you. Two men, one body, two females, two bodies. It's not going to work out.”

`Negative aren't we Kagome.'

“Kagome it will work out. But I will leave you alone if you can look me in the eye and tell me you don't love Yoko.”

“I do love Yoko, so I'm leaving. He can do better than some hated youkai anyway. As arrogant as his ass is he'll do fine.” Kagome stood as the bus came to a stop. “You go back to college, I'll see you around if Koenma forces me to do something.”

Shuichi stood holding onto her arm. “No.”

She turned towards him seeing his eyes golden. “Why are you trying to keep me here if you are going to be leaving soon anyways? Don't do this to yourself Yoko.”

“I give you one last warning before I come out and take you back Kagome. You know I will do that, with the stench of these people on this vehicle it will be blamed on drugs.”

Kagome sighed sitting back down. That would most likely get Rekai involved and her in a world of pain. She went back to looking out of the window letting Yoko speak through Shuichi.

“You really want offspring don't you.”

“I'm a female aren't I. But I'm not dumb enough to bring something of me into this world. One cursed life is enough as it is.”

“Out kits will be half kitsune Kagome, they will not be cursed.”

Kagome turned around looking at the girl with the balloon talking with her mother. “But I can never do that. I can never be a mother to a child because then they will know what the child is. No point.”

It was quiet for a while. “What if I could figure something out.”

“You need to figure a lot of things out.”

“But what if I could.”

“Do what. Erase my youkai blood and fill it with another youkai's blood? Yeah right. It's over with once I was conceived Yoko, I'm fine with it.” She gazed at the little girl. “I have to be, instincts or not.”

When they made it back to Shuichi's dorm room Yoko let himself out and sat next to Kagome on the floor. He picked her up holding her in his lap and deeply inhaled her scent.

“I've missed you.” He licked her neck leaving a nip. “And I still love you.”

Kagome wanted to kiss him. “Yoko don't.”

Yoko licked her ear. “Why not.”

“Because Yoko I don't want you hurt because of me.”

Yoko spoke letting her shiver from his breath barley on her skin. “Have you ever thought that you being to the youkai of status that I am would offer you protection and if someone foolishly decides to come after be because of you I will kill them. And if someone decides to hurt you I will kill them.” He turned her around licking her mouth. “I can protect the both of us Kagome only if you'd let me. I'd never force that onto you.”

Kagome looked down. “You're making me think…”

Yoko licked her collar bone. “Good, keep thinking.”

Kagome licked his nose. “Prideful kitsune…”

“You know you love me.”

Kagome kissed him. “Arrogant kitsune.”

Yoko kissed her. “Thank you.”

Kagome smiled as she kissed him. “Do you promise?”

“For you, always, I promise.”

Kagome pushed down on his tunic smiling. “Good. Then I'll stick around for two weeks and not `run off' as you all like to say.”

Yoko took off her long sleeve shirt growling. “You smell like Shuichi.”

Kagome began sucking on his neck. “His clothes.”

`Don't have sex with her in my room! I don't want to smell that-`

`-You wanted to find Kagome didn't you? What did you think I would do when I found her? Ask her how the weather was? I'm going to have sex with her all over this room Shuichi and tomorrow after your classes I'm taking her out to some desolate forest if this country even has any and make her my mate. And if I can find a portal to makai around here all the better because when I'm with her I will make sure no one will not be able to hear her screams of ple-`

`-YOKO DO NOT TELL ME THAT-`

Yoko was on top of Kagome gently thrusting into her. `Go to sleep ningen.'
