InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Nothing is as it seems ❯ A choice Made ( Chapter 1 )
I don't own anything so please don't sue. Thank you
A young girl paced nervously back and forth in the small study. She wasn't aware of the young kitsune kit that watched her from the safety of the door. Her mind raced alone the events of the past few months. I can't believe Inuyasha chose Kikyo. Okay I admit it, <sighs> I'm not really surprised she is after all his first love. I should be happy for him and Kikyo. At least Kikyo isn't a clay pot anymore. She once again has a pure untainted soul and a human body. I'm glad Inuyasha made that wish for her. He showed all of us that Kikyo isn't the evil baka we thought she was but I still…Snap out of it Kagome! Focus! She had begun to notice that her power was flaring around her. I really hope that this Genkai will train me. I can't risk hurting my son. As she said this she glanced around the room, spotting the young child in the doorway. A smile graced her lips. "Shippo sweetie, it's okay now."
"Are you sure mommy?" The kit glanced nervously about the room.
As Kagome was about to answer, a very powerful human walked into the room. "You are Kagome I presume." She asked abruptly, not waiting for a response, she launched right into the training regiment. "I will train you but you must remain here at my home for at least six months. You have an incredible amount of power, but no training what so ever. I will not be lenient with you. You will practice and train day and night until you drop." Kagome looked startled at her teacher who stood before as calm and collected as if she was talking about cooking dinner.
"I will do anything to train these miko powers. Last time I lost control I almost killed my son." As she spoke she pushed Shippo in front of her. Genkai stared at the kitsune cub.
"You are not marked and you are not a demon. How can you have a demon child?" Genkai asked the young lady.
"Oh <Giggles> I am not his real mother. I am his adopted mother. His real parents were killed a few years back, leaving him alone in the world. He began to travel with me. Eventually I began to look at him as my son. When I came back to Tokyo I officially adopted him." Kagome told the small lady. "Um…I hate to ask this of you but is there anyway you can train my son. I don't know anything about Kitsune magic or their powers. All I know is that Shippo should be coming into his powers soon."
"I know someone who can help. The room down the hall to the left is for yourself and your son. Now get some sleep we begin at dawn." Saying this the short woman walked out of the room. Kagome watched her teacher retreat before turning to face her son.
"Well Shippo, this could be a great new start for us." She gathered the young kitsune in her arms. He grinned at her before snuggling into her arms. She smiled at her young son. It will be all right. It has to be! She headed off toward her new room.

Kagome and Shippo were woken up abruptly at about five o'clock in the morning. Genkai had thrown a bucket of ice-cold water on them. Sputtering Kagome leapt out of bed ready to kill the person responsible for her being soaked. Shippo began to cry, shivering as the wind seeped into his soaking wet clothes. Kagome gathered him quickly into her arms. "Hush sweetie. I'm here." She glared at Genkai waiting for an explanation.
"We will begin as soon as you and your son are changed." She glanced at the family a smirk on her face. "I suggest you hurry. We don't want to keep our guests waiting." She walked out of the room as she spoke.
"Guests? What guests?" Kagome shouted at the retreating figure. I didn't really expect an answer. "Shippo, lets get you changed." She searched her drawers for a new outfit for Shippo and herself. This is going to be a long day. She mused as she proceeded to get dressed.
A few minutes later Kagome walked out of her room carrying Shippo. She walked down the hall to the room she had been in yesterday. When she walked in she noticed a group of teenage boys and girls lounging around. Feeling self-conscious, Kagome meekly greeted the group. "Hello, I am Kagome Higashi. It's nice to meet you all." She glanced at the group who looked at her in amusement. "Hi!" Shippo jumped from Kagome's arms to her shoulder. "I'm Shippo Higashi. This is my mommy. She's very nice." He would have continued rambling on but Kagome hushed him looking up at the chuckling group. Her face was beet red.
A blue haired girl separated herself from the rest of the group. "Hi. How are you doing today? I'm Botan and it's very nice to meet you. The one in the green scowling is Genkai's student Yusuke Urameshi, ('Hey') the girl on to his left is his girlfriend Keiko, she pointed to the mousy brown haired girl, (`Hi Kagome' <Keiko gave a little wave>) Kuzuma Kuwabara is the boy dressed in the blue school uniform and to his right is Yukina (she turns and whispers to Kagome `He wants to date her but hasn't asked her yet') as for the remaining two, the one sitting in the window is Hiei, don't be offended if he doesn't seem to like you. He doesn't like anyone really. Kurama is the red head sitting by Hiei." As she made the introductions she left out the special powers most of the team had.
Kagome glanced at each member as the strange girl, Botan, introduced him or her. Botan had an abnormal energy that Kagome couldn't place. When she looked at Yusuke she could sense an enormous amount of spirit energy, his girlfriend Keiko seemed to be just a normal human. Kuwabara also had an extreme amount of spirit energy but it wasn't as powerful as Yusuke's. As she looked at Yukina she let out an inaudible gasp. Yukina was a demon. Her glance slide to the two remaining member, her eyes narrowed when she realize they were also demon. "As I said before, it's very nice to meet all of you but I have a few questions." The group looked at her collectively. "First of all, what are you Botan? You have a strange energy I can't place. Second, why do you two <points to Yusuke and Kuwabara> have an unusual amount of spirit energy? You two <points to Hiei and Yukina> are demons. Yukina I believe you are an ice demon <at Yukina's nod she continued> and Hiei you are an ice and fire mix, hm odd. Mostly I'm intreged to find out why you have a demon's aura but seem to also be human at the same time." She glanced at the group hoping she wasn't being to forward.
"Well you are insightful. I am a grim reaper." Botan giggled at the look that crossed Kagome's face. "As for Yusuke and Kuwabara they are spirit detectives. They protect the human world from demons. Yes Yukina is a demon and so is Hiei as for Kurama he can tell you his story if he wished." She smiled as she looked from Kagome to Kurama.
Kagome nodded satisfied with Botan's answers. She put the struggling kitsune cub down on the floor where he proceeded to race around the group. She watched him for a minute before looking up at Kurama waiting for an answer.
"I have two souls. One is of the fox demon thief Youko Kurama and the other is the human Shuuichi Minamino. Kurama proceeds to tell the entire story to Kagome. Before Kagome can fully comprehend the situation Shippo launched himself at Kurama.
Kurama stared in shock at the kit who began to talk rapidly.
"Areyoureallyafoxdemon? Areyoutheonethat'sgoingtotrainme? Willyoubemynewdaddy?" At this question Kagome scooped the child out of Kurama's arms. Her face the color of Kurama's hair. "Shippo, sweetie no more questions." She glanced at the group. "I'm sorry for my son, he hasn't learned to control his curiousity."
"If the introductions are over with then can we begin?" Genkai's calm voice came out of the backyard. Yusuke muttered under his breath before standing up. "We'd better go before she gets impatient." He led the way onto the training grounds.
The pairings are undecided if you have a specific request just put it in your review thank you.
