Yusuke dropped the towels he was carrying on the floor as he stared wide eyed at the flushed boy before him.

“What are you doing Kurama?” he asked suspiciously.

“Cleaning the wounds that have become infected,” he said as he turned back to his box and pulled out some seeds that he had stored.

Nodding Yusuke picked up the towels and set them next to the bed before turning around and checking on Kuwabara.

Sighing softly Kurama concentrated on the seed and watched as it began to grow into a healthy plant in his hands. Plucking off three of the leaves he placed the plant on a table next to the bed where he was sitting. Turning back to the girl he used the towel to wipe off some of the blood to reveal bluish black skin. He placed the leaf on the cut and squeezed the others so that a small liquid layer lay atop it. He then wrapped the wound in gauze before repeating the process.

Kurama noticed that the more wounds he wrapped the less the girl shook and the lower the fever she had went down.

Looking down the young man took a look at all of his work. The woman's entire middle was wrapped as well as her left arm where she had sprained it and her right leg where she had pierced it. She had two cracked ribs and an old looking scar in the shape of a star. He wondered sadly to himself had a girl as beautiful as she was could have gotten hurt so badly. He wasn't very surprised however when he heard a voice in his head answer back.

“Most of the cuts look like they were made from a sword.” Said the voice.

“She also smells of youkai.” Stated Kurama.

“You need to give her something to eat she doesn't seem to have eaten in days.” declared the voice.

“This is interesting,” said Kurama,” the girl has miasma poison inside her, but that can't be possible since the last time miasma was anywhere was almost five hundred years ago. Youko, do know anything about this?”

“I've heard rumors in the time period but nothing more.” Replied Youko.

“I see,” just as Kurama said that Yusuke and Kuwabara came in with a kettle of boiling water.

“Place it over here,” Kurama ordered as he prepared a place for them to put the water.

Yusuke and Kuwabara did as they were told and looked at Kurama for their next assignment.

“Sit down,” there is nothing you can do now but wait and hope.

***************************three days later********************************

“Ugh, I feel as though I got hit by a train, what happened.” Asked Kagome as she rubbed her forehead. She turned her head to see the three boys looking at her with worry filled eyes.

The one in green quickly walked over to her and sat down next to her, the other two quickly following.

“I see you're awake,” stated a drop dead gorgeous red-head. Looking suspiciously at their auroras she relaxed as they were peaceful yet fearful. Not trusting her voice she nodded her head. Looking around she began to familiarize herself with her captors, er … saviors.

The redhead wearing a blue school uniform was looking at her with stars in his eyes and she was pretty sure that wasn't good. His hair was a orange color that was curled into an Elvis style. He seemed well built and strong, but one look at his aurora creeped her out. It was that of kindness and stupidity, taking another glance she now knew why.

The raven haired boy was the same one she had meet in her house. He held an aurora of sadness and worry, something that didn't seem to fit him. Looking into his chocolate eyes however she saw only concern for herself reflecting back. Again she was reminded of InuYasha when he tried to hide it behind a tough guy act, but was a sucker when he saw a tear fall down her cheek. She also realized with mild shock that the boy had extremely strong spirit energy.

Lastly there was the red head with long ruby hair. His eyes were that of the forest, haunting and filled with wisdom beyond ones years. He was breath taking really, wearing a pink uniform that somehow made him seem manlier. She looked at his aurora and almost gasped in surprise, there were two each combining and separating in some sort of exotic dance, she felt her head begin to spin just by looking at it. Shutting her eyes she looked at him again, kindness radiated off him as well as worry and concern. Her thoughts were interrupted when the black haired boy, Yusuke, knocked the orange haired fellow over the head while shouting at him. She giggled softly before clutching her side in pain.

Brown eyes opened in sudden surprise at the pain.

“Hey are you okay?” came the oh so smart query from Kuwabara. Kagome looked at him weirdly before hiding deeper into the covers at the guys in the room stares.

“Mwuhuhu,” came her muffled reply.

Chuckling slightly at the young woman's shy behavior he sat down next to Yusuke and began to talk to the girl.

“Hello my name is Kurama, what's yours?” he asked politely.

Thinking fast she answered softly, “Kanna”

“I see, do you have any family we can call?”

“No”

“Do you have anywhere to stay?”

“No”

“Would you like to stay with me?” asked Kuwabara's.

“You, wouldn't mind?”

“Nah, but beware of my sister Shizuru, she's evil!”

“Am I really?” asked a voice behind Kuwabara.

Turning around slowly he came face to face with a very annoyed looking brunet.

“Um, hi Shizuru, I was just telling Kanna here how great of sister you are!” he lied.

“Stupid,” she muttered before beating to a pulp. Everyone else merely sweat dropped in the background.

“Right, anyways, this is Shizuru,” Kurama introduced the brown haired lady; “Kuwabara,” the orange head; “Yusuke,” he just smiled; “and you already know I'm Kurama.” He finished.

After the introductions Kagome talked awhile with the four people before becoming tired and falling back to sleep.

“Hello Kuwabara,” Kago… I mean Kanna said as she hugged Kuwabara's neck. Over the many days Kagome had become more open and she had promised herself she would not cry for her friends any longer.

“Hello Kanna,” said Kuwabara as he hugged her back. Today was the day Kanna moved in with Kuwabara and Shizuru.

“What took you so long Kanna, we thought you would never get here.” Asked Shizuru from the doorway to the house. She like all of the other three had fallen in love with Kagome and now saw her as the sister she never had and always wished she could have.

“You ready?” asked Kuwabara as he began to walk down the road. Today would be Kagome's first day at school. She had somehow used a trick that she had learned from Sakanaro to make a file for herself at the school without being detected.

“Yeah lets go.” She said enthusiastically as she began to walk towards the school.

The two walked to school together and were soon met up by Yusuke and another girl. When he saw the two he waved at them and began introducing Keiko.

“Hey Keiko I want you to meet a good friend of mine, her name is Kanna, Kanna this is Keiko.”

“Nice to meet you,” said Keiko.

“You to, maybe we can get together sometime and go shopping.”

“Sounds like fun.” Just as she said that Kanna snatched Yusuke by the ear as he was about to run behind a corner.

“Where do you think your going Yusuke?” asked Kanna. She didn't even notice the wide eyes staring at her as Kurama also joined the group.

“Yusuke, you were trying to skip school again weren't you,” Shouted Keiko. She to grabbed an ear and both she and Kagome dragged the delinquent off to school Kuwabara and Kurama right behind them chuckling happily at Yusuke's misfortune.

It wasn't very long before the small group got to school after saying goodbye to Kurama. The group headed to the front office and waited patiently for Kagome to get her schedule. When she walked back out she found her Schedule snatched out of her hands.

“You have Math with me and Kuwabara, English and Japanese with Keiko, Chemistry with all of us, lunch with me and Kuwabara, and lastly history you're alone.” Yusuke said as he read off the sheet of paper. The group was in their senior year of High school (I'm pretending that the Rekai Tantei are eighteen years old and that Kagome is in reality without the size problem twenty six. This of course means that Kagome is actually eight years older than them, but that doesn't matter so don't bother informing me I already know.) and just about ready to get out.

“Come on guys lets get to class before we get in trouble,” said Keiko as she began to walk towards Chemistry.

“Hey wait up,” yelled Kuwabara as he suddenly found himself alone in the middle of the hallway.

The rest of the day went smoothly for the group of friends until the got out of school and started walking home.

“Stop, stop thief,” screamed an old woman as a man ran in their direction with a bag full of food and a purse. Eyes widened as the man made a crash course right into Kanna and Keiko. Grabbing Kanna with his free hand the thief began to run faster while trying to feel up Kanna's skirt.

“Pervert,” could be heard echoing around the neighborhood as Kanna brought her fist straight into the man's face, hard. The group had been running after the man Yusuke somehow catching the man as he fell back from Kanna's punch before beating the crap out of him.

“Kanna are you okay?” asked Kurama worriedly as he helped the girl off the floor.

“I'm fine, but Yusuke needs to stop, he looks like he's about to have a heart attack,” she stated looking worriedly at her friend. The group somehow managed to get Yusuke to stop beating the man up and headed home.

“To think,” Kanna thought, “Fridays were supposed to be what people looked forward to.” And with that the girl fell asleep into the nightmares and memories of her shadowy past.
