InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Stronger Than Yesterday ❯ Chp2. Welcome to the Demon World ( Chapter 2 )

Chp. 2

It wasn't long until Kagome found herself, walking home with the four spirit detectives. She stood walking behind them, occasionally calling out directions towards her home.

Koenma had told her about the three worlds. The demon, human, and spirit. There're mission was to take place in the demon world. Koenma had a summerhouse there, and that's where they were to stay.

So this is why Kagome was currently walking home with the four spirit detectives, to get her things. They had already been to Yuske's, Kuabawra's, and Kurama's house. And that's where they were supposed to stay and wait for a girl named Botan to take them to the demon world.

Arms folded and head downcast a little Kagome began mumbling to herself:

"Stupid hanyou, stupid demons, stupid spirit detectives. Why am I always finding things? First the Shikon no Tama, now this. Maybe I should just be an archeologist. Yeah...that's it. I'll become an archeologist. I'll find things for a living. That seems like the only thing I'm good at, and I'll get paid for it too."

After Exchanging curious glances, Hiei and Kurama stared off into space, each in deep thought, having overheard her mumbling.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

`What do you think she meant about that?' Hiei thought to Kurama.

`I do not know Hiei, but we'll have plenty of time to figure out.'

`What if she doesn't feel like sharing?'

`Then...'

`We'll beat it out of her.'

`No! Everyone is entitled to their own past. She'll tell if she wants.'

`Whatever, fox.'

"We're here." Kagome's voice rang out, ending there conversation.

+_+_+_+_+_+_

They stopped to let her pass them, before starting there long trek up the stairs.

As Kagome was climbing the steps, she couldn't help but think, `This might be fun. I mean I'm going to the demon world where I can test to see if my training was enough, and if it isn't I have four guys backing me up.' With theses positive thought running through her mind she couldn't help but let her anger sweep away, a little, and let a smile grace her lips.

They reached the top of the stairs without any hassles, and Kagome in lighter spirits.

* * *

"Mom, Grandpa, Sota!" Kagome yelled into the empty, quiet house. `Good they're still out.' she thought as she beckoned the boys in.

They made their way to her room, where Kagome immediately began packing things into her big yellow bag. As she was packing, the boys did their own things. Hiei was staring out the window, Kuabawra was playing with Buyo, Kurama sat on Kagome's bed reading a book he had found on her dresser, and Yuske was rummaging through her closet.

"Hey Kagome don't forget to pack this!" Yuske yelled pulling out some scanty, red, silk, sexy, lingerie, that her friends had gotten her as a joke. It wasn't funny when she got it and it wasn't funny now.

"Ahhh, give me those!" yelled a very red-faced Kagome.

Stomping over to Yuske, she slapped him up side his head, (I said oops, up side your head, I said oops upside your head.) grabbed the scanty clothing, pushed all four of them out of the room, then slammed the door loudly in their faces.

"Way to go Urameshi." Kuabawra said blandly to Yuske, who, was howling with laughter on the floor. Kurama and Hiei just simply walked off.

* * *

The boys had been downstairs for a while before Kagome came down. They were in the living room, doing pretty much the same thing they did in Kagome's room, only now Yuske was watching TV.

Thumping on the stairs gave the signal that Kagome was coming. They looked over to the stairs and saw a completely different looking Kagome.

Her hair was down, and now longer, it was down to her butt. She wore a tight red shirt that said in black across the chest `Keep staring and see what happens', tight leather pants, and combat boot that strapped together like in-line skates. She also wore a long black trench coat that went to her ankles. Her big yellow sack hanging on her shoulder.

"Hey!" Kagome yelled after an awkward silence, "can't you read the shirt, divert your eyes."

After hearing this, the boys looked away as if she hadn't been there.

`My gawd, they actually did it.' Kagome thought with a smirk as she entered the living room area. Dropping the sack by the couch Kagome took of her coat off (well she is inside), and headed into the kitchen. Her back to them the spirit detectives glanced back up at her only to start blushing. There wasn't a back to her shirt, instead it was laced together with a skinny red rope, and ended up in a little bow at the bottom.

Seeing that Kuabawra was staring too hard with his mouth open. Yuske found it his job to slam it shut.

"Don't you know it's rude to stare monkey?" Yuske said grinning

After a few minutes, Kuabawra retorted "Hey who you calling monkey Urameshi? Don't call me a monkey."

"You just answered your own question moron." Hiei said with a smirk.

"Watch yourself shorty." Kuabawra yelled now facing Hiei.

"You're right, I'm sorry." Yuske said sincerely.

"I accept your apology, Yuske." Kuabawra said with his arms crossed, nose in the air in a satisfied manner.

"I wasn't apologizing to you; I was apologizing to the monkey."

"Hn." (Yeah, I finally was able to put in an Hn. I didn't know where to put them ^ ^'"

Meanwhile Kagome had gone to the kitchen for a Popsicle. She was now sitting on the counter, watching the fight unfold, eating her Popsicle merrily. By now Kurama and made it to her side and was leaning his back on the counter.

"Are they always like this, foxy?" Kagome asked after a while.

"Yes. But Hiei only ever gets into it every once and a while." he replied calmly, watching her eat the Popsicle out of the corner of his eye.

"I see." she sad licking her lips. "So, what are they all like?"

"Let's see?" he said thoughtfully watching his fighting partners. "We can start with Yuske. He is what seems to be the leader of this...um group. He is very loud, rude, mean, and obnoxious. But he is also brave, strong, and caring. Kuabawra is...well...let's just say...we don't really need him that much. He might be strong, but he is weak compared to us. He is not very smart, and girl crazy. But when needed he pulls through."

"What about firecracker?" she asked letting the information sink in.

"Hiei? Well he's not the most trusting, he's had a hard life. He allows himself to be miserable. He's quiet and hardly speaks. He's not shy, it's just he thinks very highly of himself, and thinks everyone weak and useless, until they have gained his respect, which is very rare. He's lives in solitude; he doesn't let anyone closer than he feels necessary, which isn't very close. He doesn't even allow his sister to know of his existence. But I don't want you to have too much of a bad perception on Hiei. He does most of theses things, to protect the people close to him."

"Oh. So what about yourself?" Kagome asked as she threw the Popsicle stick in the garbage, then turning to him.

But before she could get her answer, the doorbell rang.

Jumping down Kagome ran past the arguing trio, to the door. Opening it up, she came face to face, with a bubbly blue haired girl, with pink eyes, in a pink kimono.

"Oh hello Kagome it's nice to see you awake.

"Umm..."

"I'm Botan, the grim reaper."

"Uh..."

"I'll be the one taking you to the demon world. "

"Eh..."

"Are the boys in there?"

"Ye..."

"Well great tell them to hurry up we don't have all day."

Kagome stood there blinking at the overly cheerful spirit girl.

"No need. We're already here." A voice said behind Kagome. Moving out of the way Kagome let the guys pass with her bag and coat, so that she could shut and lock the door.

Turning around she saw the guys standing by Botan, who now adorned an oar in her hand. `I'm not even gonna ask' she thought in her head as she took her place by her new *cough captives cough* friends.

"So are you ready?" Botan asked them.

"Yeah."

"Whatever."

"Hn."

"Sure"

"Yes."

Without a warning, Botan opened the portal and they were all sucked in.

* * *

Kagome didn't know if she lost consciousness or if she had fallen asleep, cause all she knew was opening her eyes, seeing the spirit detectives and Botan about 50ft below her, a pain in her stomach, and being out of breath.

"I'm so sorry Kagome that must have been you first time through a portal." She heard Botan's voice say as she stood up on the steady branch of the tree.

"Oh no I'm fine. The tree didn't hurt much. It's just hard to breath. But why ask me about that?" Kagome said sarcastically to her self before she jumped off the branch to land gracefully behind the group.

Giving her an impressed look they started off down the trail, after giving her, her bag and coat back though.

`Well here I go again. Following demons through a strange land to find some mystical object.' Kagome thought as they walked down the trail.

* * *

They traveled down that trail for what felt like hours before they finally came to the house.

It looked like Naraku's castle only cheerier, and two-stories.

"Now this is where I'll be leaving. Now this is the house you'll be staying in. The town is over that way, she said pointing east through the batch of trees, oh and before I forget, here." Pulling out a flat, circular stone, she threw it at Yuske, who caught it with his face.

"What is this?" Kagome asked picking the stone off Yuske's face. Turning it over she noticed it had different shaped carvings in it where it looked as if something was supposed to go there. She didn't know why, but she felt some kind of vibration of energy coming from it.

"Oh that. You have to place the relics there in those holes, and supposedly when all the relics have been put in place the so called powerful weapon is supposed to form," she said in her cheery voice.

"Cool"

"Really?"

"Interesting."

"HN."

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU HIT ME WITH IT?"

* * *

The inside of the shrine was very modern. The door they walked into lead to a living room. The carpet was a pinkish color. There was an entertainment center with a big screen. Two white couches. One a love seat. A coffee table was in the middle of the room with pillows surrounding it.

There were two steps that lead to an upper level floor. There were two sliding doors. The one on the left, next to the stairs, was a closet. And the one to the back lead to the kitchen.

"Not bad." Yuske said as they looked around.

Kagome would have agreed if she were down to hear it. She had made it her duty to choose the first room.

She checked all the rooms till she found one that took her breath away.

It was a very large room. The carpet was white and felt beneath her toes like it (if she had her boots and socks off) was made of silk. The dresser was made from white marble. Her bed was a canopy bed. The drapes surrounding it were white satin with gold trimmings. The comforter and pillows where also white with gold trimmings. The comforter also had a big golden sun on it.

The curtains surrounding the windows where satin white. They hid the double windows that led to the balcony.

She dropped her sack and relic holder on the floor. Stepping out into the hall, she yelled down the stairs.

"I FOUND MY ROOM. NEVER ENTER IT." Then she slammed the door.

* * *

At Kagome home.

"Kagome dear we're back." Mrs. Higurashi called out for her daughter as she opened the door for her father and son to enter.

Grandpa had broken his toe. So his foot was in a cast, and he had to use crutches.

"Doctors don't know what they're talking about. My foot feels fine. All I had to do was wrap up in a little crow's liver and it would have been just fine in the morning." Grandpa grumbled to Sota.

"Yeah gramps. I know." Sota said as he moved out of Grandpa's way.

"Oh dear." Mrs. Higurashi said as she entered the hallway.

"What is it mom. Did Kagome eat all the cake?"

"No. It's this note I found from Kagome."

"Well, what does it say?" grandpa yelled from the living room.

"Well it would seems Kagome's been captured by these four boys from school. Who turned out to be demons. She says they call themselves spirit detectives. It also says their boss, the prince of the spirit world, has her linked to them so she can't leave or kill them. She also says the he sent them and her to the demon world to find some artifacts made long ago by a miko. So they need her miko powers to find them."

"Oh is that all?" grandpa said as he propped his foot upon the couch.

"Those poor boys." Mrs. Higurashi said sympathetically.

"Those poor demons. My granddaughter has not been training for nothing."

"Mom? Can I go with Kagome on one of her adventures?" Sota asked giving his mother big pleading eyes.

Smiling down at her son, she brushed his hair out of his eyes lovingly. "When you're older." She replied.

* * *

It was later that night, when Kagome thought everyone was asleep, that she snuck out to explore.

She wore nothing but a 10x oversized shirt, and some spandex shorts. She didn't have any shoes so she could sneak around quietly, and she wore no socks because she didn't fell like slipping on the floor and breaking her...well you know. She carried four marbles in one hand as she searched for the boys' auras. Feeling Yuske's she stopped in front of the door across from hers.

Opening the door as quietly as she could, she slipped into the room closing the door behind her. On entering the room, she couldn't help but notice a few things.

1) Like her room was white. His room was blue. Very blue.

2) His cover was strewn about around the floor by his bed.

3) He was snoring very loudly.

And

4) Yuske. Sleeping in his boxers. On his back. Mouth wide open. And one arm clutching a pillow in a death grip. She couldn't but notice how cute he looked without all that gel in his hair. (Even though he still looked cute with it.)

Holding in her laughter Kagome placed one of the marbles on his bedside table. Where it began to glow a blue-purple color.

As quietly as she entered, she left.

Walking further down the hall, she felt another one of the boy's aura. Stopping at the door it was coming from she opened it a tad. She saw green. A lot of green. A lot of different shades of green. But green nonetheless.

Slipping into the room, she noticed Kurama's head peeking out from under his green comforter. Holding her breath she quickly, but silently made her way to his bedside table. Placing the marble down she didn't stay to wait for it to start glowing before darting out the door. Being a demon Kurama could have woken up anytime, and she didn't want to be caught in his room before the marble took affect.

Creeping down the hall towards the third and weakest aura. She carelessly walked into the red room, where Kuabawra was sleeping sprawled half in and out of his bed. He had the courtesy to wear his pants to sleep. Hopping over his head (which was on the floor.), she placed the marble by his head and bounded out of the room.

Kagome steadily made her way towards the last aura, Hiei's.

Standing at Hiei's door, she took a few deep breaths while rolling the last and biggest marble in her hand.

Taking one more deep breath, she opened the door. With the door finally open, she saw the color of Hiei's room.

It was black. (Bet you were surprised there huh.) Not different shades of black. Just black. Pitch black to be precise. And if she hadn't trained her eyes, she wouldn't have been able to see anything. And if she hadn't any self-control she would have gasped when she saw Hiei sitting up against the head of the bed arms folded across his chest. She stood there frozen to the spot. It took a while before she noticed that his eyes were closed.

Heart pounding in her ears Kagome made her way to side of his bed, never taking her eyes of his face.

But just as she made it to the table, her feet became entangled in something on the floor. Looking down she saw that it was Hiei's overcoat. (What is that anyway? It's like a cross between a trench coat and a poncho.) Carefully and quietly, Kagome slipped her feet out of the trap. Looking up Kagome nearly screamed. Hiei was looking right at her, a scowl on his face.

"What the hell are you doing in here wench?" he growled.

Kagome's lip trembled. What was she doing in here?

"GO TO SLEEP THREE EYES!" she yelled, knowing that it wouldn't wake anyone up now, she tossed the marble at his head, which he caught and went straight into a state of unconsciousness. By the time all this happen Kagome was already downstairs in the living room.

She was going to have to answer some questions in the morning.

After catching her breath, Kagome let out a little cough and stood up straight.

"Well I do believe that went well." She said. Straitening her clothes, Kagome went off exploring.

* * *

So far, she had found nothing except two bathrooms. One a regular bathroom. The other a hot spring tub. Promising herself to use it later, she went off again. She had found a library, and more rooms. She found the kitchen and was currently heading down into the basement.

"Someone needs to fire the made." Kagome said as she sneezed from all the dust she stirred up as she walked down the stairs. The light from the kitchen was not penetrating the darkness of the cellar.

At the bottom of the stairs, with one hand over her mouth, and the other in the air looking for a light.

Feeling a rope bump her hand, she grabbed it then pulled.

Looking around the cellar Kagome saw that it wasn't just any kind of cellar. It was a wine cellar.

The cellar was large. And I mean large. Very large. About as large as a library. With rows and rows of wine, instead of books.

Walking along the rows, she looked at all the different kinds of wine, and champagne. Pulling out a bottle of wine, she blew the dust off and looked at the name and year. Getting an impish smile, she said aloud. "Well I always wanted to tell good wine from bad."

* * *

The next morning the came down to a very amusing, yet sad, sight. Kagome lay, on her back, sprawled, over the couch, her feet hanging off the back. Empty bottles and glasses were on the coffee table in front on her. Her over-sized shirt had come up a little, showing her stomach. Her face was a little red, her mouth was open in a smile, and she was snoring loudly.

Yuske and Kuabawra were down and out laughing, Kurama was smiling softly, and Hiei...Hiei was being Hiei.

"Hiei maybe this would be a good opportunity to get some answers?" Kurama said calmly.

"I still say we could beat it out of her fox." Hiei replied looking at Kagome in disdain.

"You're just mad because she beat you when we were in school." Yuske piped in loudly.

"And what if I am?" he snapped back angrily. Giving first Yuske then Kagome a fierce and just plain evil glare.

"O-Kay...So...what answers are you looking for?" Yuske asked Kurama diverting his eyes away from Hiei. Who, at the moment, was still glaring at Kagome with his jagan eye glowing through his bandana.

"Well Yuske, yesterday as we were heading towards lady Kagome's house, we heard her mumbling some very peculiar things..." Kurama said staring at Kagome, who was now moaning in her sleep.

"Stupid hanyou...stupid demons...thickheaded wolf youkai...stupid, dead, bitchy, walking corpse, of an ex-miko trying to steal my soul...dumb mutt trying to help her."

At this, everyone was staring at Kagome strangely with raised eyebrows.

"Mumblings...like...I don't know...that?" Yuske asked even though he had a pretty good idea that it was.

"Yes. Exactly like that?"

"Maybe the shrimp should enter her mind and find out what she's talking about." Kuabawra, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up.

"..."

"What?" he asked out loud when he realized they were staring at him with frowns of disbelief.

"That's what we're doing now." Yuske told him.

"Doing what now?" he asked stupidly.

"Gawd you're stupid." Yuske mumbled under his breathe, as he turned back to watch Hiei and Kagome."

"I miss you all...Miroku, you big pervert...Sango, my sister...and my poor little kit..." her face began to frown.

"GET OU OF MY HEAD FIRECRACKER!" she whined in her sleep, and the next thing they knew was being thrown back a few feet, from her miko powers flaring up. Kurama had known that was gonna happen so he had jumped back just in time, only his hair had been singed.

Hiei wasn't as lucky, he was caught off guard, but being a speed demon, he put up his arms to block the full blast of her aura. The cloth that he kept wrapped around his arms was now gone, leaving his skin burned, raw, red, and black. (I'd have a side order of Hiei, extra crispy.)

"Don't you know it's not nice to take advantage of a girl when she's out cold and drunk?" A now awake, but sick feeling, Kagome said as she woozily got up off the couch and made her way up the stairs.

With Kagome up the stairs, the boys turned to Hiei, who was picking himself up, looking, and flexing his arms.

"So, did you find anything?" Kurama asked.

Looking up at Kurama with a slight shocked expression, he shook his head no, and then stared back down at his charred arms.

"Just images. Images of demons, and humans. Most were of a white-haired hanyou, a kitsune pup, a demon exterminator and her demon cat, and a lecherous monk. And there were also many flashes of a hanyou, in a baboon pelt."

(*) (*) (*)

Kagome arrived down stairs an hour and a half later, fully dressed and with a humungous headache.

(Okay boys and girls, this is a little game we're gonna play. It's called "Dress Up the Miko". Okay this is how we play; every time Kagome changes clothes, we're gonna have her in...Whatever you want. I'll start it. Since I am the authoress and all. You send in your suggestions in the reviews. Okay, let the games begin...*trumpets*)

She was wearing a gray, black, and white plaid mini skirt. A white button shirt that was tied in the front at the bottom, and short black coat on top of it, it came down past her chest. Her hair was done up into to pigtails, she wore white knee-high socks, and black closed toe sandals.

The boys were in the kitchen sitting here and there eating scrambled eggs and bacon. Only Kurama and surprisingly Yuske were the only ones to look up when she entered.

"Good morning lady Kagome." Kurama said politely.

He only got a grunt in reply. Turning around to fix herself something to eat, Kagome came face to face with; the brown-eyed wonder himself, Yuske Urameshi. He was giving her an irritated look. Her eye started to twitch, up close, she could tell that he had bushy eyebrows they reminded her of Miroku.

"May I help you? Haven't you ever heard of personal space?" she asked him staring openly at his eyebrows then into his eyes.

His eye twitched this time. "Here. Drink this." He told her, shoving a glass into her chest. Never taking his eyes off her face.

Looking down at the contents in the glass, she saw that it was a reddish-orangish-yellow color. Looking back at him, she gave him an innocent smile, and cocked her head to the side. "What is it?"

His eye twitched again. "It's for your hangover." He said placing a finger to her forehead.

"Oh." she said cheerfully. Taking the glass out of her chest, out of his hand. She placed the other hand on his chest, pushed him back from her, and then drowned the glass.

Setting the glass down she wiped her mouth with her hand, and began to jump up and down wile shaking her head.

"Eww, Yucky." She said as she made disgusted gestures with her mouth. Settling down she removed her hand from Yuske's chest and began to leave the kitchen, ignoring the boys' looks.

Just as she passed Yuske, she felt a tug, and a lift.

"Nice skirt. How are you gonna fight in that?" he asked her calmly, as if he wasn't violating anything.

Without warning, a mallet appeared in Kagome's hand and she knocked Yuske into the back wall.

On the floor, if he hadn't parted his legs, he would have lost something important, because as soon as he landed on the floor a butcher knife had came flying at him.

"Thanks for noticing, and don't worry about me, I'm used to fighting and traveling in skirts." She said happily beaming at him, a mallet nowhere in sight.

"No problem, always here to help." Yuske said breathing shakily, but not without a grin.

After winking, and blowing Yuske a kiss, she took off up the stairs

"Whew! Man that was weird." Yuske said steady grinning as he picked himself up off the floor.

* * *

"Are we there yet? My feet hurt. I'm hungry. How long have we've been walking? My head hurt. My bra too tight. My booty shaking from the left to the right. Left. Right. Left, right, left right. You hanky panky, you sho is stanky. My booty shaking from the left to the right. Left. Right. Left, right, left, right." Kagome sung aloud in the forest, as they made their way to town.

"WHAT!" she yelled when they stopped to look at her with crazy looks. "I'm bored."

"Why don't you amuse yourself by shutting up?" Hiei snapped at her.

"Why don't I amuse myself by purifying you?" she snapped back.

"Is that a threat?" he asked putting a hand on the hilt of his katana

"No, it's a promise." She growled back.

"Well then what are you waiting on?"

"I'm waiting on you Hiei. Come on Hiei. Make a move. Boy I'll just purify your legs so that you'll be even more jacked up than you already is. Boy I'll skin you live, like a cat stuck in a fire on a hot July equator afternoon."

Silence.

Twitching eyes.

"Say what now?" Yuske asked.

"Hey look!" Kagome yelled all cheery again. "We made it." Not waiting for a response, she took off ahead of them.

"That girl is Weird!" Yuske blurted out, again with grin.

The others openly agreed with him by nodding their heads.

* * *

Upon leaving the forest. They found themselves behind a tall building. And on the ground on the side of the building was Kagome. Flat on her back, smoking, and unconscious, with the occasional twitch here and there.

To say the least, the spirit detectives didn't look concerned.

"What happened to her?" Kuabawra asked as he bent down by her side and poked her cheeks with his finger.

"Well it would seem she ran too far ahead. The collar doesn't allow her being further a mile away from us." Kurama replied calmly.

"Well wake her up. We're wasting time." Yuske huffed impatiently.

"WAKE UP WENCH!" Hiei yelled, scowling a Kagome's immobile figure.

"SIT BOY! WHAT DID I...oh?" Kagome had jumped to her feet in a fit when she heard the word wench. Seeing who it was she stopped her ranting. Abruptly turning her back to them, she scratched the back of her head.

"So which way to go?" she asked in an overly cheerful voice.

"You're the miko. Don't you sense anything you stupid wench?"

Turning around to face them she blinked at them with a blank face. After a few more blinks, she smiled cheerily at them. "Oh yeah...I forgot." Ignoring the looks, they gave her; she reached behind her back and pulled out the relic holder Botan had given them.

"Lets see. Which one is closer?" she said running her hands over the holes. Running her hand over a particular hole, she got a shock and gasped at the wave of visions that raced through her mind.

After the visions stopped, she put the holder behind her back, where it disappeared from view. Ignoring the boys, she turned on her heel and took out for the street.

"We better follow, before she gets herself killed."

"Hn." Hiei said before they followed her.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

They found her in front of the building, on the sidewalk, amidst the crowd of traveling demons. She seemed to be looking for something.

As the spirit detectives congregated around Kagome, the demons began to give them cautious looks and began skirting around them. Before long the number a demons began to diminish.

The spirit detectives noticed this. Some were feeling smug, one was calm & collective, and one was clueless.

Quiet. That's what it was. Quiet. That's what brought Kagome back to reality.

"Whoa!" she said astonished as she looked at her surroundings. "Where did all the demons go?" she asked in a childish voice.

The spirit detectives just shrugged.

An uncomfortable silence. The wind blew. A piece of paper flew and landed on Kagome's leg. Bending down to pick it up, she saw why the demons had disappeared.

On the piece of paper was a picture of Yuske. On either side of him were both Hiei and Kurama. Kuabawra was half hidden behind the three. Below the picture was written:

WARNING

Highly armed and dangerous.

Wanted for the murder of millions of innocent bystanders.

Beware.

These three are the evil lackeys of Lord Koenma.

They go by the names:

Yuske, Kurama, and Hiei.

Are sometimes found around with a bald orange haired monkey.

He too can be dangerous when provoked.

The spirit detectives,

As they have been called,

Hunt down and slaughter all who have

"Done wrong"

In their, and the eyes of Koenma and Emma.

Heed with caution.

If possible, avoid.

Smirking to herself, Kagome folded up the piece of paper and put it with the relic holder.

"Which way to go?"

"Ahh...who said that?" Kagome yelled looking around. Seeing the Spirit Detectives staring at her like she was an alien, smiled a cheesy smile. "We go this way." She said pointing down the street as she began to walk.

"Hey, hey, hey. Now wait." Yuske yelled as he ran to catch up with her, as she stopped by a tall wooden fence. "How do you know we go that way? Are you sure?"

"Well of course I'm sure silly. I can sense it."

"Well okay if you're sure. Lead the way my little relic detector." Yuske said jokingly holding his hand out in front of her so she could walk ahead. He had meant it as a joke, but Kagome didn't think it was funny.

With as much ferocity as she could muster at that moment with the anger she felt. Kagome grabbed Yuske around the neck, and slammed him against the wall, feet suspended in the air. Her collar was beginning to crackle with black electricity, but she was either ignoring the pain, or she was too angry to feel it.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP, YOU HEAR ME! I AM NOT YOUR RELIC DETECTOR. I'M NOT YOUR ANYTHING! I BELONG TO NO ONE! NO ONE! I'M ONLY HELPING YOU BEACAUSE OF THIS ACCURSED COLLAR, AND BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FUN! AND THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME FROM KILLING YOU IS BECAUSE I NEED YOU. SO GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD, BEFORE I DO SOMETHING WE BOTH REGRET, I AM NOT A PIECE OF PROPERTY! I BELONG TO NO ONE!" After shoving him against the wall once more for good measure, she dropped him where she stood, then took off marching down the sidewalk.

"NO ONE!" she yelled again as she punched the wall, leaving a good size hole.

Hiei and Kurama watched as she disappeared around the corner, and then looked over to Yuske, who was being helped up by Kuabawra.

Their eyes only widened momentarily as they saw, red and raw, around Yuske's throat; her finger prints. Looking at each other with quizzical looks, they both shared the same thoughts. `She didn't look that strong.'
