Chapter Four- Babysitting

Kagome was shocked. Going through the portal was almost like going through the time slip of the well back at her mother’s shrine. Only when she made it through this one she was in a large office and not Feudal Era Japan.

She watched as Koenma headed to a rather large desk and sat down in the cushioned chair. Looking around his office she noticed the large screen that showed dots all over a map that was defiantly not Japan. Some where yellow while other where green or red. It took her moment to notice a pair of amber-golden eyes stare at her with amused smirk.

“Sesshoumaru!” Kagome squealed, excited to see the Great and Mighty Sesshoumaru alive and well.

The tall youkai Lord smiled softly at Kagome. His long silver hair was tied up, keeping it out of his face. He wasn’t wearing his usual kimono that she recognized. Now, here he was looking like some kind of important businessman. Only he still had his facial marks and long fluffy tail.

“Hello Kagome. It has been a long time since I last saw you.” Sesshoumaru said as he made his way toward the bright smiling girl, “Your power has grown. It must be from the jewel. But I have complete faith that you will soon surpass even Midiorka’s power.”

Tears formed in her eyes at Sesshoumaru’s word. No one had ever believed she was strong. He always told her differently. Even her own friends would tell her to get out of the way and let them do all the fighting. She was only there to help them find the shards.

“Oh Sesshoumaru!” Kagome wailed as she threw herself into the youkai Lords arm, “Thank you! You have no clue how much your words mean to me.” She cried out, tears dripping from her eyes and landing on his silk shirt.

The others of the room all let there jaws drop at the display of affection the Lord allowed. They where even more shocked when they watched as the King of the Makai, hater of all humans, hugged Kagome as if she was his own flesh and blood. And Kagome hugged him as if he was her long lost father.

Koenma was the one to bring everyone back to the subject at hand.

“Sesshoumaru. You wanted the detectives for something?” Koenma said from his desk, catching everyone’s attention.

Sesshoumaru sighed as he looked down at the miko he thought as his own daughter. She was going to hate him after this. He just knew it. As far as he knew, he was the only one that knew what had happened to her in the past. He had been the one to save her and bring her to the well to return to her time and never come back. Then when the others questioned him, he couldn't lie.

“Yes. I do have a need for all of you. As you where informed during your last mission there is talk of a youkai gang in the Miaka. My spies have found that they are look for a powerful artifact. The Shikon no Tama.” He informed them all, holding Kagome tighter to him.

“The Shikon no Tama? That means they will go after Kagome.” Kurabara said, stating the obvious to them all.

“If they knew where she has the jewel and that she is in the Ningenkai this would mean security will be on high alerts.” Kurama informed the team.

“Meaning, we all have no life till this gang is caught.” Yusuke said, realizing what the new mission was, “Great, there goes all my plans!”

‘Now I can’t take Kagome out to diner Friday. Or start her training.’ Yusuke thought grimly.

“Hn. If they want it then let them take it from her.” Hiei said from his position of leaning against the wall.

This happened to enrage Sesshoumaru who pushed Kagome behind him and took a threatening step towards Hiei.

“You fool! If anyone takes possession of the complete Shikon no Tama but Kagome or any other miko could be the end of all three worlds.” Sesshoumaru hissed, “You would have no way of stopping who ever had control over it.”

Kagome worried her bottom lip with her teeth as she watched Sesshoumaru become hostel towards Hiei. Coming up behind him she placed her hand on his left shoulder. Even after five hundred years he was still missing his arm. But the moment she touched him the great Lord and King calmed down.

“Sesshoumaru. The detective’s have all agreed to train me so I can take better care of myself. Grandmother Genkai keeps insisting that I join their team, though I have had enough adventures to last one a life time.” Kagome said softly, letting her miko powers calm her father figure down.

“I already know that you can take care of yourself my otome. There is no need to train you. You have the power. All you need to do is embrace it.” Sesshoumaru said to Kagome, placing his hand on her shoulder.

“So, then why the need for us Lord Sesshoumaru? If you think Kagome can take care of herself then we don’t have to patrol the Makai.” Kurama questioned.

“I want you all to watch Kagome, not the Makai. I have others doing that. If all of you where in the Makai, it would make it easy for anyone to snatch Kagome.” Sesshoumaru answered the fox.

Unbeknown to them Kagome’s rage began to show as it had yesterday. Angered at being told she could take care of herself, but yet need someone to watch over. Telling her she needed a babysitter.

“You want them to become my babysitters?” Kagome all but growled.

Sesshoumaru and the others watched in horrified fascination as the jewel reacted to her emotions. Her aura growing red as her anger grew. But unlike yesterday her hair and clothes did not move. Her body only began to glow as she collected her miko powers around her.

“Kagome. You have no clue what will happen should someone steal the Shikon and have it in their possession. Someone has to watch over you.” Sesshoumaru said, standing up to his pissed off otome.

“I can take care of myself Sesshoumaru!” Kagome yelled at her otou figure.

They watched as the jewel pulsed at each word its guardian spoke.

Sesshoumaru just watched in silent awe. He knew she didn’t believe in herself. She had already surpassed the great miko’s power. If only she embraced them, only then would she be able to destroy his twisted half brother. But if she kept this up she’d kill all of those with youkai in their blood in the room. Taking a step closer to her, he looked her straight into the white eyes that should never be his own otome…

“He’s leading them Kagome. My half-breed brother wants the jewel. And he wants you Kagome. He thinks you’re his even after what he had done to you. I don’t want him to ever do that to you again.” Sesshoumaru said softly to her.

Kagome stiffen at his words. It couldn’t be. How did he live so long? Slowly her, and the jewel’s power retracted its self back into her. As had Yusuke noticed, Sesshoumaru watched the jewel return its power to Kagome and not into itself.

“Sesshoumaru?” She whimpered, fearing for what would happen.

Taking another step closer to his otome he embraced her against his chest. Gently he kissed her forehead as he held her tightly, afraid to let her go.

“Please Kagome. I cannot afford to loose you. You are like a daughter to me as Rin had once been. My youkai screams at me not to let you go.” He whispered into her ear.

For the small moment that they had to themselves Kagome nodded her head in agreement. Sealing her Fate twice today. Now she was to train with the Spirit Detectives, but she wouldn’t put herself in danger. Meaning she couldn’t go on missions, which she never wanted to do in the first place.

Kagome pulled back from the youkai lord. Tears fell from her ocean blue eyes as she whimpered into submission.

“Alright Sesshoumaru. I’ll do as you ask. I shall not put myself in danger so that he may get the Shikon no Tama.” Kagome said out loud. No one noticing that she had her fingers crossed behind her.

‘I’m going to kill that bastard if it’s the last thing I do!’ Her mind screamed at her.

“So? How are we to watch over Kagome twenty-four seven?” Yusuke asked.

“It is simple you small minded human. One of you is to be with her at all times.” Sesshoumaru instructed

"Hey! I'm not small minded!" Yusuke yelled.

“You could have fooled me. Now, do you all understand your new mission!” He demanded.

All four nodded their head, understanding their newest mission.

“If that is all Lord Sesshoumaru I would like to let them return back to school.” Koenma asked.

Sesshoumaru nodded his head in agreement as Boton made another portal that would bring them back to school in time for Biology. He noticed Kagome’s aura swirl with mixed emotions as she followed the others through the portal and watched it disappear with a little pop.

Was he doing the right thing by sheltering her? Or would he have to let her do this on her own?

***School***

They had returned to school with enough time to go to get to fifth period, though they would be a little late. Entering the school from the roof all five headed to their lockers, pulling out their biology books.

Kagome was lost in her own thoughts. How was it that everyone wanted her to join the detectives but refused her? She didn’t want anything to do with them in the first place, but as the more times they told her no she wanted. Dragging behind the others she didn’t notice Yusuke had stopped in front of her until she ran into his chest.

Her biology book fell to the ground, brining her back to reality. She was about to bend down to pick it up but Yusuke had beaten her to it. Still in a slight dazed she blinked a few times. Smiling softly at him she accepted her book and stood with him. Still smiling, she linked her arm through his own and leaned her head against his shoulder as they entered the classroom.

All five of them entered their classroom, ignoring the look of irritation that the biology teacher gave them. Heading to the back of the room they opened their biology book to the first chapter. As they took their seats their teacher gave them the class syllabus, not once stopping from her speech of what was to come.

Kagome half listened to the biology teacher drawn on about dissecting dead animals and playing with chemicals. She was leaning on Yusuke with her hand through his own. Her eyes would slowly droop down as she became board with the biology teachers’ talk. Every now and then her head would snap up, brining her back to attention.

Fighting to stay awake was becoming most tiresome for her. The teacher was still explaining what would happen in class when she finally closed her eyes, sleep winning the battle. The last thing she heard was the teacher introducing herself as Ms Yokurum and to welcome them to Biology.

***Forty-five Minutes Later***

“Who’s going to wake her up?” Said a familiar female voice.

“She looks like an angel when she sleeps. Her aura is so white.” Came another familiar voice.

Tired, Kagome slowly opened her eyes to find out who was talking about her sleeping. Catching shadows of people standing around her and the lights of the room she let her eyes adjust and open sleepy blue eyes. Everything came into focus as she could make out Kurama, Kurabara, and Boton hovering over her as they slowly became more clear and detailed to her.

“Oh! It looks like she’s waking up herself. Good evening Kagome. Did you have a nice nap?” Boton asked, brining her face extremely close to the sleepy dazed girl, “You looked like you where about to start drooling.”

Startled by the closeness of Boton in her face she opened her eyes fully as a small yelp of surprise was ripped from her lips. Jumping a foot off her seat she began to fall to the hard ground, not able to land back on the chair. Eyes clenched shut her whole body tensed as she waited for the pain that would come.

But nothing had happen. There was no pain. Opening her eyes slowly she noticed that she was moving away from the floor then on top of it. To her left she could see the lime green blur that was Yusuke. He was carrying her in his arms. A small arrogant smirk was plastered on his lips. His eyes laughing at her, as she saw her reflection in them.

Slowly her cheeks turned pink, then a darker pick as they laughed at her own expense. And when Yusuke let out his own little chuckle her face was redder then a tomato because of the shame, embarrassment, and anger she was felling.

Ashamed at herself, for being found in Yusuke’s strong arms, embarrassed that she had actually enjoyed him holding her so protectively, and angry at them for laughing at her.

Her aura went from calm and collective to one pissed off miko in seconds. Yusuke stopped laughing as he and the others watched in fascination as her aura expanded outwards, trying to protect her from danger.

Slightly covering Yusuke’s front half and barely touching the others he began to feel a slightly painful tingling sensation. Then before he knew it his chest and arms where burning in sheer pain, exactly where Kagome’s aura covered him. She was using her miko powers on him.

In to much pain Yusuke dropped Kagome in her chair and began to back away from her, reaching the outskirts of her burning miko powers. Looking down to inspect the damage he was shocked to see his uniform turned into a crisp and exposing black chard skin with white, almost clear, blisters quickly forming.

Shocked at what Kagome had done him, he looked up at her, find her standing near him, but not too close enough. He could feel the tingle of discomfort radiating off her. He watched as even Kurama squirmed away from her. He too was being affected while Boton and Kurabara made no move, covered in her pick aura.

Her eyes where white except for the dark pink dot that where to look like irises. She stood there, waiting for him to make a move. But he didn’t want to get to close, afraid to become a pile of ashes.

Kurama was backing away as her power extended outward and began to burn him also, just not as bad as Yusuke. Boton and Kurabara just stood there watching, neither with any signs of burning. No one knew what to do. They had never had to face up against someone so uncontrollable and powerful enough to cause so much pain in a matter of seconds.

“What do we do?” Yusuke asked as he watched Kagome glare at him with those haunted eyes.

“I don’t know. I’ve never had to deal with a miko a live. Just dead ones, that didn’t have enough energy to sense a youkai even if they stood right in front of them,.” Boton answered. A chill shot through her when Kagome’s white and pink eyes where all of a sudden on her.

“She has way to much power going through her. Her miko senses sense mine and Kurama’s youkai. It could be why we where being burned and you two aren't.” Yusuke said, as again Kagome turned her attention to him.

“Then you two need to get out of here.” Boton said as a black and pink portal appeared next to her. “When she calms down I’ll come and get you.”

Yusuke and Kurama nodded in agreement to the plan. It was the best they could do at the time. Neither wanted to be char broiled like a pig in a barbeque. It was better then standing there as her powers flared wider, burning them as they jumped into the portal.

Authors’ note-

Okay. I told you I’d do as you ask. I planned on brining Sesshoumaru in. I do apologize for his oocness. And Yusuke’s. They are both youkai’s- one more then the other- and are very protective. I can’t help it if they slip when Kagome is around. I promise to have the next chapter soon. Please send your reviews. I really love reading them. Thank you.
