Chapter 17

 

Hiei ran through the back entrance bursting down the door sensing Yusuke, Genkai, Hagari at the front entrance. Slicing through any in his way ningen or youkai he made his way down the stairs noticing one thing out of place from what Hagari had told them.

There was no one alive in any of the cells or anyone on guard. Only dead bodies. Hiei ran past checking each one only greeted by the smell of death. Yusuke meanwhile had run straight towards the white torture room and his eyes widened as he shouted alerting them knowing no one was going to attack.

“Hey! I found her!”

Yusuke opened the door and almost fell down sad from being greeted by the smell of death. He went over to her body and had a pained face. The smell really did come from her. Shuichi was the next into the room, and even unable to smell it, smelled the abundance of blood, saw her body, and put two and two together. Hiei came in piss shouting.

“She's not dead! She is not dead!” Hiei gathered her body in her arms after cutting the chains. “Open your eyes damnit!”

Hagari remained silent as Genkai spoke looking at her body closely. “She's not dead but will be if we don't get her out of here-“

Yusuke snapped at her. “-the hell you mean she's not dead! I smell it all over her damnit!”

“She was pregnant and her offspring died in her. That's what you smell. She's still alive, barley. Get it together hot head and let's go.”

Hagari looked on along with Yusuke while Shuichi and Genkai did their best to make sure Kagome was alive back in the hotel room. Hiei was in the room next to the girl looking down at her. Even he was disturbed by the amount of blood he smelled coming from her and was surprised she was still alive. When Genkai later came out Yusuke immediately stood turning towards her.

“Kagome gonna make it?”

Genkai sighed. “I honestly don't know. There's a lot of prolonged damage that they made sure not to give her time to heal. Then when she wakes she'll have to push out all of the dead fetus. If she survives that, then there's a good chance she'll live.”

Hagari spoke. “Know why they cleared out, or seemingly did so.”

“The only thing I can think of was that they figured out what you were really up to, but if you said you weren't followed and we didn't sense anyone around you then I don't know.” Genkai walked towards the balcony. “Something is very wrong here.”

In the same room with the unconscious Kagome, Shuichi spoke looking out of the window along side Hiei.

“If you use your Jagan again, do you think you will sense that strong demon aurora, even if you are not searching for it.”

“You want me to try to get Yoko again. Hn.” Hiei took off his Jagan meeting electricity again and after a growl went into Shuichi's mind again. “Nothing. I can try forcing it but you might be killed in the process.”

Shuichi pleasantly smiled. “I trust you Hiei.”

Hiei soon found himself in a dream. He was in a den somewhere in Makai and saw Yoko in his chibi form with a number of other silver kits. Moments later the dream changed and he saw Kagome leaving some type of apartment with Yoko sitting on the floor putting his clothes on.

“Arrogant in your dreams as well.”

Yoko spoke tunic on. “Hiei, what causes you to invade my mind.”

“You've been out of my reach for over two weeks now and Shuichi has no idea what happened to you.”

Yoko stood looking at Hiei. “I haven't been dreaming for more than five minutes apparition explain.”

Hiei explained from what Shuichi knew, to Kagome currently on her death bed. “So what happened to you.”

Yoko closed his eyes to help keep calm. “I had forced Koenma to remove the bracelet from her after he used it again. Not even an hour after I left with her a portal opened beneath me back to Koenma and Ayame began chanting and I'm here now.” It was quiet for a while. “Is, she going to live.”

“She has to push out the dead unborn and if she survives that she'll have better chances of living.”

Yoko looked down hurt. “The kits…” He was depressed. “Come back in a day and I'll of thought of something with what I know of the chant…”

Hiei left the mind of the saddened kitsune seeing Shuichi on the floor with a busted vein on his forehead. He left out of the window.

Shuichi woke finding himself in a bed with the worse headache of his life. Taking yet another dose of Advil he saw Genkai next to him and sensed Yusuke in the room with Kagome.

“What happened.”

Shuichi laid back in bed holding his head. “Hiei entered my mind trying to find Yoko again and I woke up here. How long was I out for?”

“A few hours. Did it work.”

“He's asleep now, before…I couldn't feel him at all. I suppose when Hiei returns he'll tell me why he isn't waking up.”

Hiei returned a day later. He would had gone into Kagome's mind as weak as she was now, but figured it would kill her from doing so. Approaching Shuichi he took of his tie to his Jagan and opened it. He went back inside Yoko's dream without a word to Shuichi. He found Yoko still in the odd apartment. Once Yoko recognized Hiei was there he spoke still crestfallen.

“Has she woken up yet.”

“No.”

Yoko was sad. “The chant used was supposed to banish me, remove the avatar from the host. Meaning it backfired if I'm still here. I don't know.”

“Is there a chant to wake someone up from a deep slumber.”

“I don't know. Why can't you wake me up.”

“Hn.”

It was quiet for a while. “I know you still love her and want her for a mate.”

Apparently he had only hid it from Kagome. “What are you getting at.”

“Don't let her go astray, if I can't wake up. Give me thirty days, then take care of her for me.” Yoko stared off out of the window. “If she even survives.”

“You're going to wake up fox, you're too arrogant and prideful to let me have your woman.”

“Contingency plans Hiei, necessary, not liked. Get Yusuke to call Botan and she what she knows about reapers and banishments.”

Hiei left his mind noticing the rest in the hotel looking at him. “Get Botan to come here Yusuke.”

Shuichi spoke. “First, could you at least tell me what is going on inside of my own head.”

Hiei noticed Shuichi was flustered, headache. “Yoko said the spell casted was to banish an avatar from the host, done by Ayame. He wants to know if Botan knows the spell or anything about it.”

Yusuke spoke opening the compact. “About damn time someone knows what's going on in this piece of- Botan get your cheery ass here now.”

Botan frowned at him. “Now that's not nice Yusuke at least try to curse me out with a smile on -“

“-Botan, I will knock you off that oar now if you don't come.”

Botan came down hovering on her oar going through the window a few minutes later. “Hello everyone! I'm afraid this will have to be short. It's the busy season now Yusuke, what did you need to see me for?”

He'd ask about a grim reapers busy season later. “What do you know about you reappears and ability to cast spells.”

“Well the only magic like things we're able to do is involving spirit. Such as removing them from a cursed object, getting them out of something they've hidden in, locating a spirit blah blah. Why ask Yusuke-“ Botan lost her cheery expression seeing Kagome in the other room. “You, you have Kagome here.”

Shuichi spoke. “Why does that cause you alarm Botan?”

“Well, simply because Koenma forbid her to be within three kilometers of you. She might be in a bit of pain from whatever he activated with her once she wakes up.”

Hiei was piss, Shuichi spoke. “Do you know what he did?”

“Not a clue Kurama! He had to put something on her though. Try seeing what it was.”

Genkai came back moments later with a small black pearl. “It was lodged in her throat.”

Botan looked at it. “I suppose that could be it. Anything I can be of service with? I'm up to five hundred souls as of four hours ago!”

Yusuke spoke. “The hell you can be cheery about over that!”

“Don't let the job bring you down Yusuke! If that's all then-“

Hiei spoke. “-How do you un banish a spirit.”

“Hmm…I don't think there's a way to. Once a spirit is banished, it goes to its destination. I suppose if you're looking for a soul in particular for this case I could go to wherever it was banished to if you knew and bring it back.”

Hiei didn't like her answer. “Can you wake a soul up.”

“I wasn't aware of souls needing to sleep Hiei-“

Yusuke cut Botan off as well as Hiei about to speak. “-Koenma had a banishment spell placed on Yoko but he just now gained his conscious back and is seemingly permanently asleep. Know how to wake him up?”

Hiei was piss. “Mind explaining why you just told the reaper that.”

Yusuke didn't bother looking at him. “Grim reapers are bound to neutrality with their purpose dealing with collection and putting souls where they belong. If someone harms them, the world is thrown off balance and souls go amuck, so no one's gonna harm Botan for her knowing this, and she can't tell Koenma because that would be telling sides. Yeah she's my handler, but this technically ain't part of the case so she's not telling anyone.”

Botan clapped her hands. “Yusuke I didn't know you had a brain!”

Shuichi spoke. “Very impressive Yusuke. How did you come to think of that, even I didn't think of such a thing.”

“Just a passing thought. Do you know how to Botan?”

“Not off the top of my head, but if I think of something I'll be sure to come your way. Have fun!”

Kagome opened her eyes immediately saddened. She didn't think they really would kill her unborn. Because she wasn't even strong enough to stay conscious. They're dead. Because of her. She whimpered some in pain not even able to sit up but exgusted. She soon felt a set of arms holding her up with Genkai having a bowl of hot water at her legs on the bed. Hiei spoke holding her up quietly feeling some of her wounds reopen just from him doing so.

“Are you well enough….Kagome.”

Kagome didn't want to make the connection of what was going on. They were prepping her to deliver three dead kitsunes in her. Maybe they could still live. Her face contorted. No, she smelled an abundance of death coming from her. They had been dead for a while. Where was Yoko? Why was she still alive?

“Kagome do you hear me.”

Genkai spoke. “Girl you have to push, all right? Let's get this over with.”

Kagome didn't want to. “No.”

Genkai sighed. “If you don't you will die. And even if you think you want that now you don't,” she pushed down on her stomach causing her to shout. “-now keep doing that. Push.”

After about forty minutes Genkai disposed of three formed kits covered in blood. She added more herbs to Kagome to stop the bleeding from delivery and left her alone with Hiei. He noticed she stared off.

“Don't give up.”

“I'm tired.”

“You do know that if you go back to sleep you might not wake up again.”

“No,” Kagome closed her eyes. “I'm tired Hiei.”

Hiei gently shook Kagome. “Open your eyes- Damnit…”

Botan returned four days after Kagome had delivered, six days in all. She held a book giving it to Shuichi.

“On the page bookmarked with the smile face piece of paper there's a spell that I think should be of some help.”

Shuichi read the page. “How to rebuke a botched spell, side notes by Botan.”

Botan smiled. “Had to give myself credit for finding it now didn't I? Anyway, I couldn't find anything to wake an avatar, that's the only thing. Guess this works out all the better then doesn't it? Is she doing better?”

Yusuke spoke as Shuichi went to a separate room to start the ritual. “She's not healing and she probably hasn't eaten in over three weeks. Genkai says she probably won't wake up again.”

Botan was sad. “Oh…Even I can't think of something cheerful to say to that. Very well then. Later Yusuke.”

Hiei entered Yoko's dream finding himself in Shuichi's room in his mother's house seeing Yoko sitting on the bed looking down. “The reaper found something to reverse the spell.”

“Is it in effect now.”

“Yes.”

“Then am I never to wake again if I still see you here?”

“The ningen isn't awake either. Yusuke left to get sniffing salts in hopes that you'll wake up. Been like this for about ten hours.”

Yoko spoke. “And of my mate?”

“She delivered three dead kits and hasn't woken up since. Genkai said she won't last more than four more days. She's not healing either.”

Yoko sighed. “Kagome…I can smell the salts now.”

Hiei found himself jerked out from Yoko's dream and tied the band back around his Jagan. Moments later Kurama stood. Yusuke spoke.

“I guess we can go back to calling you Kurama then Shuichi.”

Shuichi sighed. He still had a headache. “If you wish...”

Yoko growled. “This youkai barrier is most disturbing. I truly can't sense a thing. This will not bode well for protecting Kagome.”

Yusuke and Hiei left the room leaving Yoko time with Kagome alone. He moved over to her still having a terrible head pain and saw everything. He had failed his mate to let her become this poorly injured. He cut his right palm putting it against an open wound on her and let his blood flow into hers. She had to live. He would give her his strength. He wanted her to live. He wanted her to want to live. And if not, he'd get revenge on those who did this to her and follow her into the next life to be with her.

Kagome opened her eyes incredibly tired and whimpered. She still hurt. She could feel her wounds closing, but, the pain… And her head hurt. She whimpered for a while longer hurting even to breathe when she noticed Yoko behind her holding her as gently as possible. She sighed leaning back into his hold as he stayed quiet stroking her hair.

“You're okay.”

Yoko kept stroking her hair. “Your worry is misplaced.”

Kagome was tired. “I didn't know if you were even alive. I couldn't feel you any longer.”

Yoko continued stroking. “I could never leave you Kagome. My soul will always be with yours.” He gave her some food letting her eat, not too much. “You'll be fine again, with time.” He closed his eyes. “And I never meant to leave you Kagome.”

Kagome rubbed under his chin for a while before he stopped her before she tired herself out. “Shit happens. You know I don't blame you.”

“You blame yourself and you shouldn't.”

Kagome sighed. She knew there wasn't a point in trying to argue with Yoko. Besides, she was too tired to do so. She then realized something.

“I thought I wasn't supposed to be within three kilometers of you.”

“Genkai removed it. Koenma no longer has control over you.”

Kagome looked ahead. “He'll find a way.”

“Not if he's dead-“

“-Yoko please leave it alone. I don't want you dead, for real. Please. I don't want you hurt. I'll be okay now.”

Yoko didn't answer her. “How'd you come to this city.”

Kagome knew he would, but when. “I sensed a strong youki and when I entered I noticed supped up ningen all over the place. Then there was some barrier and I almost fell over from the pain so sudden in my head. There was some youkai…I don't remember but he had a cannon of some type and used it as a club as well. We fought and I woke up in some cellar or big white room. There was a dragon demon asking me questions and stuff. Now I'm here.”

Yoko kissed her head. She would never tell him what truly happened to spare him the pain. But he figured he could tell the worst of it from seeing her before. The stabs, the whole in her leg, semen in areas of her body where it didn't belong. Saddened he held her not wanting to push it on her.

“Anything else?”

“Yeah…But I can't remember. The way the youkai with the cannon spoke, it sounded like he worked for someone, like he didn't have a choice.”

But if he was one of the four, that means some one got to them to…”That's fine Kagome. Get some sleep. I know you'll be waking up soon.”

Kagome rubbed against him once. “I missed you.”

Yoko smiled some. “Who can't miss me.”

Kagome was able to stand a few days later but not go far. She made her way to the balcony in the room standing outside looking out at the city. Oddly enough she wasn't angry, she didn't want revenge, she didn't want to rip the dick off of a number of youkai and ningen. She just wanted this all to be over with and left alone. But for this to be finished, she had to kill those starting this. Meaning Yoko wouldn't let her go out to protect her. What about his safety? Wanting to do what she thought best she was about to go out and leave the hotel when she realized that would be the dumbest thing she could do right about now. She had no idea what was going on really, too many sides. And what if Koenma decided to pop in with a portal at any given moment. Maybe freedom was over rated and she didn't need it in her life.

“Where are you going to go.”

Yoko had walked up beside Kagome noticing her on the balcony once he woke up. “We're leaving to find those who did this to you then kill them. You will stay here. With Genkai and Hagari ningen.”

“Okay.”

Yoko didn't want to leave her. He nuzzled her neck. “I'll be back.” He licked her mouth leaning down to her level. “Promise.”

Kagome had to smile some. “I'm surprised you'd leave me with someone you don't even know.”

“I leave you under the care of Genkai, not the other ningen. If he wishes to stay so be it, but he is warned not to touch you. And you misplace your worry once again. Yusuke was attacked without proper knowledge, now he knows what he faces in his foe and will be prepared. Besides,” Yoko kissed her walking off. “no one best this fox and gets away with it.”

Yoko walked into the other room and Yusuke spoke with a smile on his face hearing the last thing Kagome had said. “Arrogant as always. I guess she's doing better then.”

Yoko gave a quick look to Hagari who was eating a cup of noodles. “She will be fine with a few more days of rest. Likewise,” he let Shuichi out. “we should be going I suppose.” He drank a cup of tea Yoko had brewed for him. “To at least get rid of this headache.”

Yusuke scowled. “Doesn't get rid of it but lessens it some. Grandma know where we're going since we still can't sense anything?”

“There's a concentration of energy along the eastern boarder of town. I'm for sure on is youkai from the raw force I'm feeling, and there are a number of physics there as well. I'm sure once you get close enough Kurama will be able to pinpoint the rest for you.”

They headed out towards the window with Shuichi speaking. “As well, the plant in the corner of this room, it would be good to leave it alone if either of you have a green thumb. It doesn't like people who aren't, me essentially.”

Yusuke laughed once. “An arrogant plant, an arrogant fox. Let's go.”

The three made their way to the eastern section of the city and after a while Shuichi spoke.

“The book store. There's a strange energy I can't sense due to the barrier radiating from it. I would say that is the place we are looking for. Hiei can check the roof while Yusuke and I enter through the front entrances.”

Yusuke entered reading the sign. There was to be a closed book signing today in about twenty minutes and the people who weren't invited were beginning to clear out. There was a good crowd of twenty people or so waiting at the coffee section chatting amisly while there were about twenty more scattered through the store. He kept walking and noticed that this might have been the first time in his life that he had stepped inside of a bookstore. Maybe he could buy Kieko something if it turned out no one was here- He didn't have any money and none of them were thieves, at least not any longer. He noticed the cashiers putting notices on the doors, not locking them, and put a rope in front of the door on the inside. All but two employees then left, leaving one at the cash register and the other at the coffee shop. Knowing where Kurama was only by the red hair he wanted to ask where the energy was coming from specifically but stopped noticing who one of the `authors' for the book was.

“Oi, baka. You `member me?”

The prep from Kieko's father's restaurant turned towards Yusuke. “Uhm…I don't know you-“

So he can apparently change his voice now too. Yusuke walked up to him. “Maybe,” He punched him in the face. “that'll help you remember.”

The prep fell to the ground with a bloody nose and a broken jaw. He spoke using his bloody shirt as a rag.

“Kuso! What the hell is wrong with you ya punk kid!”

Yusuke sniffed his hand. “You're, ningen?”

The prep stood some of the others with him getting ice and first aid. “What the hell is your problem of course I'm a human you moron!” He cursed. “What is your problem! Are you even supposed to be here?”

Yusuke noticed Kurama had taken his distraction and made his way past the register from the cashier getting ice and into the upper level of the book store. If he knew what was going on more power to him. Now for him to get out of this mess…And not go to jail.

Shuichi made his way up to the top floor of the bookstore, except it wasn't the top floor. Noticing no one was where he was he saw a hatch over a bookshelf and climbed up pulling it down and pulling himself up with a jump. Shuichi coughed some from the dust sensing that whatever it was was closer. He walked past a very old desk with a quill on it and noticed that there were sets of footprints in the dust. Someone, at least five someones by the different sneaker companies, had been here not too long ago. He went past a globe that didn't have North America yet on it and found himself in a room with two people in it. Looking closer, he figured they were both physics. The boy, no more than the age of nine, spoke chewing gum. If the bubbles were any bigger they would pop on the near by bookshelf.

“Took you long enough to find us up here. Trouble getting past the book signing or are you illerate?”

`With as much as you read you've probably raised this country's literacy rate just by yourself.'

Shuichi sighed in his head speaking aloud. “I presume you two are here to kill me. Is there a purpose to this?”

The other ningen, a middle aged man with a missing ring finger on his right hand spoke. “We're here to take care of you.”

The boy laughed some. “Yup, just like a computer game. Quick and messy if need be. By orders of mister Sensui.”

Maybe these two were higher up than they appeared to be. “Who is mister Sensui?”

The boy spoke putting another piece of gum in his mouth after spitting out the original one. “You should know if Haga-“

The middle age man cut him off. “-have the slightest bit of intelligence. Prepared to die spirit detective?”

Shuichi sensed the territories go into effect and moved to back away but felt a barrier around him. The boy spoke with a smile.

“That's my power. You're not leaving.”

Shuichi turned noticing some of the books glowing and the man opening his hands. A book opened up and a lion came out of it roaring. As Shuichi avoided it his eyes widened in realization.

`The boy was about to say Hagari, meaning he was either followed-`

`-not possible, Hiei ensured it, so then-“

`-Hagari has been dealing with both sides. He gave us up-`

Yoko growled. `-meaning Kagome could be in trouble if they want to take us out in the most convient way. I thought Genkai trusted that ningen-`

`-I thought we all did to some level-`

Shuichi used his rose whip at the most opportune time wrapping it around the neck of the lion then pulling back towards him. The lion fell dead with his neck bones exposed and soon turned into the page from the book. He had to get out and go back to the hotel, meaning he would have to knock out the boy. Not giving much of a chance to think out of the second book came a man with a trench coat and a sniper rifle and Shuichi noticed there was a hole through his right shoulder. He quickly ran behind a bookcase knowing it wouldn't do him much good. But he could hear the footsteps of the `man'. He quickly dived behind another book case with his shoe end getting shot rolling a seed out. He poured his energy into it and when the `man' walked over it a bamboo shoot went straight through him. Hearing the page fall to the ground he was about to run at the man who posed the most danger when his eyes widened as a book above him glowed as a Samurai sliced down at him.

Hiei looked around on the roof. There wasn't anywhere to hide. No one was there. He was about to go inside through a window when he saw a man climb up the side opposite where he was at. And he had to be anything but ningen. He was about ten centimeters taller than Kurama with four growths, spikes, coming from his light grey face. His eyes were black like coal but he was missing eye brows. Along his arms and on the sides of his claves were the spikes as well. He held a large weapon that he presumed was the cannon Kurama had told them of when Kagome fought him. Meaning he was the one that put Kagome in that situation. He growled.

“Bastard.”

The youkai smirked twirling his silver and tan cannon as if it were a tennis racquet. “So, by that oh so intimidating growl of yours I take it you're the mate of that feisty bitch a while back. What took you too long forbidden one? Mourning over your loss or you just knew that you were too weak to stand a chance.”

Hiei unsheathed his sword. “Arrogant for someone who doesn't know his opponent.”

“I can afford to be arrogant if I know that you are no match for me.” His cannon began to glow. “Watch.”

Hiei ran out of the way of the blast, that he noticed wasn't man made but his own energy. If he could disarm the youkai, perhaps he would be easier. Hiei began running up towards the youkai avoiding his blasts and sliced down at the weapon finding it without a scratch. The youkai grinned and used the cannon to knock Hiei back. He flipped onto his feet on another roof and saw the youkai jump towards him and stop.

“I can afford to be arrogant. Watashi wa Ganban.”

Hiei didn't care and soon ran at the youkai that did resemble his name to some extent and avoided his blasts finding that when he did make contact with his cannon, he couldn't push it out of his grasps. And attacking at him did no good. His defenses were superb. Hiei summoned the mortal flame around his sword and noticing the youkai with a gleam of interest in his eyes ran at him. Hiei struck down at the cannon noticing it begin to crack and before he could even recognize it Ganban swung his arm around sending Hiei flying through the book store wall.

Shuichi jumped back getting a cut on his arm finding the samurai very skilled and would have to read the book he came out of at a-

`-Stop thinking about reading, knock them out, go protect my mate.'

Shuichi used his rose whip keeping the Samurai at bay making his way towards the man when he turned. Hiei was sent through the wall and a book shelf quickly getting up to his feet with his entire right side having small holes in it from the arm. He jumped out of the way of a blast finding himself running into an invisible wall. Ganban jumped through the hole taking aim at Hiei who managed to run along the barrier getting out of the way-

`-Hiei…Hiei-`

Hiei jumped over the youkai slicing down pushing himself further away turning back for another attack. `Fox not now-`

`-Hagari set us up to go out. He's working with them, for real. The boy needs to be killed he let it slip Kagome could be in danger.'

Hiei jumped over Kurama fighting the Samurai from the cannon swung at him and looked at where the boy was. `Where's Yusuke.'

`He created a distraction. See if you can contact him to go ahead until at least one of us can make it.'

Yusuke heard the siren in the distance and figuring his luck ran out knew it was coming for him. He smiled at the publisher for the prep. When he found the youkai who took this guy's physique he'd kill him well.

“Hey! We're all related aren't we! I say instead of you trying to sue me, and besides you should know that you aren't going to get any money from me, that you should concentrate on salvaging what customers are left!” Yusuke laughed. “Heck I'll even get a paying job and buy a book for my girl frien-“

The publisher shook his finger at Yusuke. “Now see here young man, this is a prime example of what you could have done with your life if you pa-“

“-Blah blah blah do good in school get educated. Kiss my ass old man I don't care for the shit you people try to feed m-“

The publisher undid his tie angry. “-you people?! You people!!??”

Yusuke smirked. “Yeah that's right. YOU, PEOPLE-“

`-Stop arguing with that ningen and go back to the hotel. Hagari lied.'

Yusuke easily avoided the punch of the publisher. `Hiei? All right then.'

Hiei thought to Kurama getting up onto his feet. `He just left.'

Shuichi was still having troubles with the very talented Samurai. He ran around his attack finding and using the next best idea created a third rose whip, one without thorns, and used it to attack at the boy. The Samurai ran to defend giving Shuichi time to rip through him with the other two rose whips. As the page fell to the ground he whipped the boy unconscious with the smooth whip and gave a shout to Hiei as he went towards the hotel. Hiei gave a glare to Ganban smirking, and ran off with a growl.

Kagome wanted to go get something else to eat. The ningen food that had been brought for her wasn't something she ever wanted to eat again. Ramen. She growled. The world wasn't made out of ramen-

Genkai closed the door behind her. “I sensed a small change in your aurora. What's wrong.”

Kagome still looked outside on the balcony. “Just thinking.”

Genkai saw the half empty cup of ramen on the bed. “Not a fan of ramen either. Hagari left to get more food and should be back in a few minutes. There's a store across from the hotel.” She looked at the girl. “But are you okay.”

Kagome had her ever passive look on her face. “I'm fine.”

“You know I've told hot head this as well. It's okay to show emotion every once in a while. If you're too damn happy like the reaper I will put you out of your blissful misery, but I don't see you doing that. It could help.”

Kagome didn't bother looking at her. “I'm not how I first started out as a youkai. But I said I'm fine.”

Genkai sighed walking out of the room. “Suit yourself. Don't go running to me when you break down in cry then.” She closed the door behind her and saw the main door open up and Hagari enter. “Go back out if you're a picky eater Hagari, and learn how to close the door.” Genkai looked at him. “Are you deaf baka or just plain stupid?”

Hagari spoke looking Genkai in the eye. “I've decided to bring something else along.”

A man entered walking past Hagari, around his height with features of an average Japanese man. Genkai looked at him.

“Who is this.”

The man spoke in his wretched voice. “I'm here to kill you old woman.”

Genkai jumped back from a bullet from Hagari and was knocked down from the man quickly appearing behind her. He spoke as he kicked Genkai down.

“Sniper, take care of her. I'll make sure the youkai in the other room doesn't recover.”

Hagari nodded. “Yes Chenja.”
