InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Reunion ❯ Butterflies ( Chapter 5 )

I'm happy first of all I spent the whole day yesterday just writing the fanfiction and I updated without checking reviews so here is my reply now.

 

2 Reviews Thief Lava: Devil made me do it. Hehe… Admit it that made a good stopping point. I personally don't like cliffies myself, so that's why I hauled ass and put out two chapters.

 

Takshaka: Refer to first sentence of this page.

 

2 Reviews Purefire16: You have your answer and we'll see.

 

Thanks to all and to HentaiVixen, and Kagome Lady of the Rain.

 

 

oOoOoOo

 

 

Kagome felt dead on her feet she was utterly mentally exhausted. She collapsed on her bed and pressed her face into the pillow. “You're a nice pillow,” she muttered into it.

 

She spent two more hours at the `party' and thankfully most people had steered clear of asking anymore questions, though, that might have been due to Hiei silently giving everyone death glares. She smiled. Hiei was the nicest man, or demon, she'd ever met.

 

Well speak of the devil. She chuckled bemused. Outside her window seemed to be a well placed tree just the right height for a tree loving demon like Hiei to climb. She wearily moved to the window and opened it, then stood back.

 

Hiei took the invitation and slipped into the room. Kagome made her way over to stand by the bed, “So what's up?” she asked staring straight at Hiei. Hiei hesitated, then silently handed her a small box.

 

“Y-yukina thought you should have it.” His energy flared slightly, telling Kagome that he was lying. But, she didn't press him on it.

 

She grinned, “So did you come by to talk or did you just want to pray?”

 

“I just came by to give you that,” he moved back to the window getting prepared to jump out.

 

Kagome nodded, “Thanks for the gift.” With out reply Hiei flitted out of sight. Kagome turned to the small box in her hand. She could tell Hiei hadn't gone far. `I guess he's shy. To think someone like him could be shy…' Bemused, she gently lifted the lid and gasped.

 

Inside was the most beautiful comb she'd ever seen. She smiled taking it out of the box and sitting on the bed with a thump. She made sure to stay within view of the window, as she smiled down at the comb. It was an ornamental comb with long spotted tines. But the most striking part were the three butterflies which were violet and painted so life like it looked as if the could fly off at any moment. She was touched.

 

She felt Hiei's presence disappear further into the night and a light tapping sounded on the door. Kuwabara poked his head in taking in the gift in her hands, “What was Hiei doing here.”

 

Kagome repeated what she'd been told, “Hiei said that Yukina wanted me to have this.” Now Kuwabara was, for once, not screaming out his suspicions. Yet, he'd never seen Yukina have a single comb, at least not one like that. But if Yukina wasn't the one to want her to have the comb then that meant Hiei did. He didn't know if he liked the idea of Hiei courting his cousin.

“Ogre report!” Koenma's shout echoed down the long hall's of Koenma's palace.

 

“U-ummm w-w-well sir…” Ogre began stuttering out, wilting under Koenma's heated glare.

 

“Spit it out Ogre!!!”

 

“Yes sir, Koenma sir. Well Amaya's scouts can't seem to find the exact location of the disturbance either. But due to certain facts she thinks that it might be located in or near Hotakadake.”

 

“Think? Think?!” He said while throwing his stamp at the ogre. “I need answers and I need them fast. The power level doubled over night and I don't know what'd going on that would need near that amount of power!” The Ogre slinked away from Koenma, not being very successful, when suddenly he was saved.

 

A young demon woman walked in and took the attention of Ogre so he could quietly sneak out of the room and possibly wash the stamp mark off his face. `I keep telling Koenma he needs to be more responsible with that stamp. Oh, oh I know next time he starts throwing it I will protect my face with a document that gives me a year paid vacation. Yeah…' With a lighter step, the Ogre walked off.

 

Amaya glared at the young god. “So this is the great Koenma, acting like spoiled brat. Now I don't know why I wasted my scout's time and energy looking for this so called threat.” Her glare sent chills down the young Kami's back, promising death if he even dared raise his voice at her.

 

“B-because I promised to help you find the Miko? And the fact you are able to stay in human world to find her?” Koenma tried his best to sound calm and collected but if one thing scared him it was Amaya. She belonged to one of the most powerful tribes in the Makai, but although they were powerful, they were also one of the most peaceful, only violent when provoked. “I-I think I need to call up my team to investigate.” Koenma sighed.

 

“Good idea, if you throw one more tantrum, you'll regret it,” she stared. “I will personally ensure it.” With that last promise, Amaya walked out the door. “Jomei let's go, change of plans. We'll go back to searching for just Kagome.” Jomei nodded and the two demons departed.

The next morning Kuwabara knocked on Kagome's door. “Ah come on…It's still summer. Why do people keep waking me up?” Kagome muttered into her pillow.

 

Kuwabara knocked on the door again. “Yes?” At this Kuwabara poked his head inside.

 

“Um, well Kurama, Hiei, Yuusuke and I have a mission so we won't be back for a few weeks.”

 

Kagome just gave him a blank look. “What do you mean mission?”

 

Kuwabara gave her his own version of a blank look; then thought over the night before. Nope, no one had told her a thing about what they do. He laughed embarrassed. “Well ya see, me and the guys go out every so often and beat up some really bad demons, usually trying to take over the human world. But don't you worry Kagome, I the great Kuwabara Kazuma, stop them every time.” He laughed in a superior way trying to make it sound as if he single handedly saved them every time.

 

Kagome blinked. `Why would demons help do that?' She nodded as if she understood. `Well when Shippou comes back, it's time for my own interrogation I think.' “Alright, tell everyone to be careful and when you see Shippou, tell him he's dead for not telling me about these mission things.”

 

Kuwabara sweat dropped, but agreed that he would tell Kurama. After he left, Kagome sighed. `And here I was thinking that it was more peaceful in the modern era. Shows how much I know.'

 

Well it's time to go out into the world and get school supplies. I wonder if Keiko can tell me where to get the school uniform. With a nod she went off to take a shower grabbing her new comb and taking it with her as well.

 

~~~~~

 

 

When she finally went downstairs her hair brushed and braided, new comb placed neatly above where the braid began halfway up on her head.

 

“Wow, someone got dressed up.” Shizuru commented over her cigarette.

 

Kagome shrugged and moved to get some cereal out of the cabinets. “Does Kuwabara do this often? Going on missions I mean.”

 

Shizuru gave a light uncaring shrug, “Sometimes, it kills his grades though.” Kagome chuckled sympathizing with Kuwabara.

 

“I'm going out to shop for school supplies, with Keiko hopefully if she's not too busy.”

 

Shizuru nodded taking another puff of her cigarette, “Better call her then.”

 

Kagome finished up her cereal and went to call Keiko, who was only too happy to help. Within a half hour both girls were walking out the door of the Kuwabara apartment ready to shop till they dropped.

 

Keiko seemed very excited at the prospect of shopping with another person. “I like shopping a lot, but only when I go with someone. Yuusuke either ducks out of it or completely ditches me every time I've tried to get him to go with me. I swear that boy can be so annoying.” Kagome laughed at her friend's plight.

 

Their first store was a small shop that ordered in and sold school uniforms to students. After that they were free to do what they wanted and spent hours looking at different shops and stalls accumulating quite a few bags.

 

“Oh let's go get some ice cream,” Keiko just about dragged Kagome to the ice cream shop that they'd just past by.

 

“Alright, alright…So long as we get to sit down.” Kagome sighed contentedly, finally letting her feet get the chance to rest. “So what do you think, I'm ready to return home,” she said, while taking a rather large bite of ice cream. “Gah…Brain freeze.” Kagome clutched her head in pain.

 

Keiko looked at Kagome oddly then moved back to the previous comment. “Yes, I guess we'd better head home. I still have to put away these bags and possible help my parents close up the store. Ah well…”

 

Kagome smiled and patted Keiko on the shoulder just finishing up the rest of her ice cream. “Let's hit the road then.”

Two demons followed the girls in the shadows waiting until they reached a more secluded area. The older demoness looked at the younger male he'd been hired by their master to do the grunt work. “Remember get the one in the braid. We have no need of the other girl, and we don't want to cause a big scene. Here take this and throw it at their feet, it will cause them to pass out.” The younger demon nodded, taking the small bead from his leader and went off stalking the two girls, while the other remained behind in the shadows.

 

The girls were just passing several dark secluded alleys when they heard the tap, tap of what sounded like a marble. Suddenly they were surrounded in a white cloud of powder, it was hard to breathe and the more they tried the faster the world seemed to fade from around them. They both collapsed to the pavement.

 

The smoke faded and the young demon stooped over Kagome and picked her up. “Are you sure we can't take the other girl too. I'm sure she'd make a tasty meal.” The demoness hit him with the back of her hand.

 

“Did you not listen to me? Our master wants this girl, no more no less, got that?!” She glared angrily at the younger, shorter demon.

 

“Yes, leader…” he muttered resentfully. He was hungry. But he did as his leader bid and followed her into the shadows. Leaving Keiko and the bags to lie scattered on the side walk.

 

 

oOoOoOo

 

 

Yes, yes you hate me again I know… But it can not be helped. I dare you to guess who the bad demons are. *snicker*
