The Pure Miko

 

Chapter 9

 

“So where are we going for lunch.”

 

“Well, I was thinking about a very expensive Italian restaurant down the road, and then I remembered that you would probably prefer something quiet and simple. So I then decided to take you to a simple yet elegant café a few miles down.”

 

“Really! I always wanted to go there, but I have always been to busy.”

 

“Well, you now have the time. Come on my car is right over here.”

 

“Okay!” Kagome said excitedly.

 

Kurama and Kagome arrived at the café in Kurama's dark green Malibu. They got their food and took a seat outside.

 

“So how is work?” Kurama asked.

 

“Really busy, you?” she asked of him.

 

“Busy as well. I keep having this problem with this one person. My boss needs to talk to her, but she keeps running away.”

 

“Yeah, I have been trying to get a contract ready for my boss, but I keep getting interrupted by some people. It is a little frustrating, but I can deal with it.”

 

“It would seem that we have the same problem.”

 

“Yeah, but I am sure that we can handle it.”

 

 

 

 

“I really enjoyed lunch.”

 

“I'm glad. We will have to do that again.”

 

“I have to get back to work now. I have all ready passed my lunch time now by half an hour.”

 

“Well, I guess I could get you back.”

 

Ring! Ring! Kagome's cell phone made itself known.

 

Beep! Beep! The sound came off of Kurama.

 

“Please excuse me. I have to take this.” Kagome said to Kurama.

 

“Not a problem. Me too.” Kurama said. He walked a little bit away and turned his back to her.

 

“Yeah, what is the problem?” Kagome asked once she answered her phone.

 

“Demon. Powerful. Close…” Inuyasha said on the phone. Kagome could only make out these words because of the extreme static on the line.

 

“What? Inuyasha what kind is it?”

 

The line went dead. It was at that time that Kagome felt a chill take her over. It was not a cold chill for it had to be about eighty degrees outside. The chill that she felt was an evil aura that washed over her like a disease, a poison. She suddenly felt lightheaded with the evil that was consuming her. She looked up and saw him. He was drop dead good looking, but Kagome knew that appearances were deceiving. The demon before her was completely evil to the core. His power rapped around him like a dark shield that protected itself from all things good. The demon turned and walked down into an open alleyway. Kagome ran after him. She knew that she wasn't being entirely intelligent right now, but she couldn't let him attack in pure daylight. And she knew for some odd reason that he would if she didn't follow.

 

Kagome heard her name being shouted as she turned the corner.

 

Kurama turned around to tell Kagome that they had to go when he saw her follow after a very powerful demon. Koenma had just warned him about a new powerful evil that was on the loose when he sensed that it was all ready there. He knew that he had to get Kagome to safety before she did something stupid. But apparently she all ready had. But just before Koenma had to go, he said that he had sent the rest of the team to help him if he came in contact with this new powerful demon. Kurama all ready knew that he was going to need them.

 

“Kagome!” he shouted again. But it was no use. She was already gone. “Damn it!”

 

He ran after her.

 

Kagome ran after the demon. He kept moving a little faster than she did though. He also seemed to leading her somewhere. She didn't know where, but she was about to find out.

 

Kagome emerged into a large opening. A few doors to a few rundown apartments that the city had not torn down were surrounding her. Kagome could see the end of the alleyway about two hundred yards in front of her.

 

“I knew that you would follow me.” The demon said calmly and knowingly. He had turned to face her.

 

“What are you doing in the human world. It is forbidden to be in it.”

 

“I have come to destroy it.”

 

“Well, I am here to tell you that that is not going to happen.”

 

The demon raised his hand at her. A shock wave of pure evil hurtled her backwards to land on her back on the hard concrete.

 

Kagome was stunned. She felt pain run through her body. Her head felt like it was being slit open. She gasped in pain. After her vision cleared for a moment's time, she stood up with a little wobble.

 

“Okay, that hurt.” she whispered to herself.

 

“I am sure. You will not stop me, but join me, Pure Miko!”

 

Kagome looked up at him in surprise. Her breath held itself in her throat while she stared at him.

 

Once she regained the ability to speak she asked, “How do you know who I am?”

 

“I know everything about you, Kagome.”

 

He raised his hand again and the Pure Miko flew across the alley and landed on her back again.

 

“Rose Whip!”

 

Kagome heard these words through muffled ears.

 

“Kagome!”

 

She looked up and saw Kurama. “Are you all right.” She looked at the demon and say that he was getting up off the ground with no harm done to his person.

 

“Yeah, I think so.”

 

“You have to get out of here.”

 

Kurama was thrown away from her.

 

“No, I think that you do. We're in the middle of something.”

 

Kagome got to her feet and was about to run to Kurama's aid when the demon appeared in front of her.

 

He brought out his hand and touched her arm. Kagome was stunned. She couldn't move!

 

What is happening to me? Why can't I move? She thought frantically.

 

He touched her cheek lovingly as if it was the first touch of skin that he had ever had. Kagome felt her skin crawl with sickness. Her stomach started to churn with nausea.

 

“I have paralyzed you for a few moments. You will gain control in a few seconds. Your powers will take over soon.”

 

“What do you want?”

 

“You. You will join me rather you like it or not.”

 

Kagome felt a tingle at the back of her neck.

 

“Spirit Gun!” Yusuke shouted out as soon as he had a shot.

 

The demon was thrown back. But he did not fall down. In fact, he didn't seem to be affected at all by Yusuke's attack. Of course Yusuke's attack wasn't nearly what he could do because of the close quarters and the buildings, but that blast should have at least singed his clothes. But from what Kagome could see it didn't do anything at all. If anything else it seemed to make him mad.

 

“Why must you Spirit detectives interrupt when you are not welcome?”

 

“I'm sorry. You forgot to get the visitors' guild to the Human world when you got here. Oh, wait. I forgot. We don't have one because you are not welcome here. I think you need to go back to where ever the hell that you came from pal.” Yusuke said.

 

“Yeah, go back where you came from.” Kuwabara said, his spirit sword was all ready in his hands.

 

Hiei flashed next to her.

 

“You and your friends are the second on my list now.”

 

While they were talking, Kagome felt her limbs come back under her control. She moved to a defensive position. Her powers seemed to be lower though. She felt groggy with exhaustion. It almost felt as if she had just been training with Sagero, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha at the same time for a day. She felt drained.

 

Kagome was immediately blown back onto the ground as soon as she went into the defensive position.

 

Shit! I can't do anything without my powers. Kagome thought.

 

“Kagome!” Hiei and Kurama shouted at the same time. Kurama gave Hiei a weird look. She stood up and looked back at them.

 

“What? You two know her.” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Ah, it seems that one of your team members is hiding something from you.”

 

“What does he mean, Hiei?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Kagome, go ahead.” Hiei told her. She gave him a look as she stood up off the ground again.

 

She shook her head at him once to let him know that she couldn't.

 

“Kagome, you have to.”

 

“You know what? I think that I can get rid of you pests now.”

 

Kagome felt the demon building up energy.

 

“Shot Gun!”

 

“Rose Whip!”

 

“Spirit Sword!”

 

Their attacks had no affect on him. His powers built up and shielded him.

 

“Kagome!” Hiei yelled. “Screw the consequences.”

 

“No, get out of here!” Kurama shouted at her.

 

I have no other choice. She thought.

 

Kagome let her powers out. They were finally released from their prison. A sapphire blue color surrounded her. She moved her hand and thrust it out from her. A wave of pure miko power streaked itself toward the demon. It hit him full force. He was thrown back the same moment that he sent his attack at the Spirit detectives.

 

Kagome turned and ran to the others. She threw herself in front of them before the attack could hit them. A shield appeared around her once it hit, but it did not last. The shield that was meant to protect her was disintegrated once the blast hit her. The Pure Miko was thrown up into the air. She slammed into an apartment with enough force for it to crumple. Kagome was then buried in a mountain of rubble.

 

“Kagome!” Kurama screamed out at her.

 

Hiei watched the demon stand back up. His shirt was shredded from Kagome's attack. He had blood running down the side of his face, but beyond these minor injuries he did not seem to be affected.

 

“She is stronger than I had anticipated. No matter. I will see all of you soon.”

 

With those words the demon disappeared. No energy was left for Hiei to even follow.

 

“Kagome!” Kurama shouted frantically. He was now unburying Kagome from under all of the rubble.

 

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei went to help him. With all four of them helping, Kagome was found very soon. They pulled her out of the crumpled building very gently to take a better look at her. She looked bad. Her face was covered in blood, and the back of her head was slit open. Her arms were severely bruised with a bone on her right arm poking out of her skin. Her left leg was bent backwards; it was obviously broken.

 

“Kagome!”

 

“You know her, Kurama?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“But she is the girl that has been killing demons. She is the one that we have been fighting.”

 

“No, that is not possible.”

 

“She has the same scent.”

 

“Hiei…” Kagome whispered. Her eyes were starting to open. When they did they focused on Hiei.

 

“Kagome, what do you need?” Hiei asked as he knelt down to sit next to her.

 

“She needs to go to a hospital!” Kuwabara shouted.

 

Kagome weakly shook her head. “Sesshomaru, Inuyasha…” Kagome took her index finger of her uninjured arm and pointed at the sky. She shot a beam of blue light up into the sky. “Wait for them…they will take…care…”

 

She passed out.

 

“Kagome! Don't go to sleep.” Kurama said. He pulled out a seed out of his hair. It grew instantly to become a fully-grown plant. He crushed a few leaves and placed it on several of her wounds. The one that he placed them on the most was her head.

 

“Damn it! It is not working.”

 

“Kurama,”

 

Kurama looked up. He saw them. Two men were running at them. They didn't slow down until they were mere feet from them, from Kagome.

 

“Kagome!” one of them shouted in a panic.

 

Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara moved to circle her body. Hiei moved out of the way.

 

“Move!” the man, whom had spoken first, said.

 

“Do as he says.” Hie commanded.

 

“Hiei! What are you doing?” Yusuke asked.

 

“They are her bosses.”

 

The Spirit detectives stared at him.

 

“You know what is going on Fire apparition. I am impressed.” The second man said to them.

 

“God damn it, Sesshomaru. We don't have time for this shit! Kagome is dying!” The mans disguise fell. Before them stood a half-breed dog demon that looked ready to kill someone.

 

“Move or I will move you!”

 

“You are but a half breed.”

 

“You should never underestimate your opponent, Detective. Inuyasha, I presume.”

 

“Yeah, now move.”

 

“I don't think so.”

 

“Move now fox or I will make you.” Inuyasha threatened.

 

“There is no need, brother.” The second voice said. He now stood with Kagome in his arms behind them all.

 

“Kagome, no!” Kurama shouted. And then he transformed into Youko Kurama. He raced forward toward the man that was holding his future mate.

 

The man transformed into his true form, the form of the powerful Lord Sesshomaru.

 

“Control yourself, Youko!”

 

“Sesshomaru,” he hissed.

 

“Follow me.”

 

Sesshomaru jumped up in the air and flew away so fast that normal humans could not possibly see him. Youko transformed back into Kurama and ran after him. Inuyasha did the same. Hiei disappeared in a blur. Yusuke raced after them moments later. And Kuwabara was forced to try to follow after them.

 

 

 

 

“Medic! Kagome is hurt. Send only a few! We can't take her downstairs. Company!” Inuyasha shouted. He was now in Sesshomaru's office, shouting on the phone for a medic to come up to the office. They had gotten into Sesshomaru's office with no problems. They just went through a window downstairs and raced up the stairs. For a human, that climb would have taken a good ten minutes at a run. For a demon that would have taken ten seconds at the most. For a pissed and worried Sesshomaru it took two seconds. The fire apparition and Youko were standing by her side along with Sesshomaru. Youko was trying to stop the bleeding, without results.

 

Kagome was now resting on Sesshomaru's desk. The tabletop contents were now strewn across the floor. Her wounds were not closing on their own, and Youko's plants were not helping her; her blood continued to flow onto the desk and floor.

 

The phone to Sesshomaru's office rang.

 

“What?” Inuyasha shouted into it.

 

“Sir, there are some men here demanding that they see you and Mr. Taisho.”

 

“Fine, let them in.”

 

“Yes, sir.”

 

He put the phone back down on the base. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Shippo came bursting through the doors.

 

“What happened?” Shippo demanded. He looked calm on the outside, but Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both knew that he was anything but. His hands were clenched at his sides, and his illusion that was keeping his human disguise was starting to flicker at random intervals.

 

“How did you get here so fast?” he asked.

 

“Stairs.”

 

He nodded in understanding. It made sense. No one ever wanted to use the stairs in these buildings. They were too long to take for normal purposes. That was why it was perfect for them to use when they had to move around the offices very quickly. There was a set of staircases next to the conference rooms in each building. This allowed them to move underground and up to the appropriate office with no trouble. It was quick and efficient for all demons in a hurry.

 

Youko growled at them in annoyance. Shippo looked at him in confusion. He turned back to Inuyasha. “What is he doing out?”

 

“Move!” a man said as he and two others rushed through the door. All three of them wore pure white, a sign that they were doctors. Each of them carried a large white box.

 

Hiei and Sesshomaru moved out of their way, but Youko growled at them with a gleam in his eyes that promised a slow painful death if they came any closer.

 

“Youko, they are here to help her. Stand down.”

 

Youko looked at Hiei for a moment then backed away, although rather reluctantly. He kept his eyes on all three of them and on Kagome.

 

The three doctors moved forward and started to examine Kagome.

 

“Pulse is erotic.”

 

“Pupils are dilated.”

 

“Heartbeat is slow, but steady.”

 

“Milord! What happened to her!”

 

“She was attacked by an extremely powerful demon.” Sesshomaru answered.

 

“But Milord! Even you could not do this to her!”

 

“What do you mean?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Lady Kagome is drained of her powers. She would normally heal from such injuries on her own, but she can't. And there is nothing that I can do to help her. She will have to heal herself.”

 

The doctor was slammed into an office wall.

 

“Kurama!” Yusuke shouted at him. He ran up to him and tried to pull him away form the doctor, but Youko was not budging.

 

“What do you mean?” Youko hissed at him.

 

“Please, sir, I can't do anything for her. Her powers can't heal her, and neither can I.”

 

“Why?” Youko questioned.

 

“Some kind of dark energy is preventing me from healing her. She is going to have to wait for her powers to start regenerating her. I'm sorry, but there is nothing that any of us can do.”

 

Youko slammed him into the wall for good measure and then returned to Kagome's side.

 

Sesshomaru nodded at the doctor's in dismissal. They left them in silence.

 

“What the fuck happened to her?” Inuyasha yelled at them.

 

“She followed a powerful demon into the alley. She tried fighting him, but she wouldn't use her powers.” Youko answered.

 

“But she should have been able to kill him with her powers.”

 

“No, she couldn't.” Kuwabara said.

 

“Why not?” Sesshomaru asked coldly.

 

“The demon drained her of her powers. She seemed to be weaker after she regained the ability to move.”

 

“Wait, what? Regained the ability to move? What are you talking about?” Shippo asked.

 

“Explain from the beginning.” Sesshomaru commanded.

 

And so they did. Youko started it and the others helped to fill in the gaps. Hiei, however, was still wondering how Youko was able to know what was going on while Kurama was in control. During this time though, all of them watched Kagome with constant vigilance. Her wounds were wrapped in bandages now, courtesy of the doctors.

 

“Now you tell us something.” Yusuke said.

 

Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Shippo looked at him.

 

“This is the girl that we have been fighting for the past few months. So I assume that you are her bosses.”

 

“No, not me.” Shippo said.

 

“Who are you…people?”

 

Inuyasha and Shippo looked at Sesshomaru in question. Their cover was blown anyway so why not inform them. In their minds these detectives in front of them could help them now. Spirit world probably all ready knew about Kagome by now, but as long as they didn't tell their bosses about them then both of them didn't see a problem in telling them about themselves.

 

“Do you promise not to inform anyone, but Koenma of what you learn here?” Shippo asked.

 

“Sure, whatever.” Yusuke promised.

 

Inuyasha looked at the others. They all nodded at them.

 

Sesshomaru nodded in to Inuyasha and Shippo. And at once all of them dropped their human disguises.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru.” Youko greeted.

 

“You have disobeyed me, Youko.”

 

“Yes, and I am glad that I have.”

 

“You will pay for your disobedience.”

 

“You can try.”

 

“Wait, what the hell is going on. You two know each other. And why the hell are you out Youko? I thought that Kurama refused to let you out. And how in the world are you three in the Human world? How come Spirit world can't sense you? Who are you demons?”

 

“Watch what you say.” Youko warned Yusuke. “I have been dormant until my true mate had arrived.”

 

Sesshomaru growled at him. “I will fight you for her. You weren't even allowed to see her. That was our agreement!” Sesshomaru growled out.

 

“What agreement?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“I caught him stealing from me.”

 

“Wait, what?”

 

“It was almost five hundred years ago. I was young to my thieving ways.”

 

“He got caught, and I gave him a deal.”

 

“And what was that?” Hiei asked.

 

“That I would not steal from him. I would also not go after the Shikon Jewel and it's guardian.”

 

“What is a Shikon Jewel?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“It is a sacred artifact that grants one wish. It can also amplify demon and human powers. But I heard that it had disappeared five hundred years ago.” Yusuke answered.

 

“And how the heck do you know that, Urameshi?”

 

“I learned about it in Demon world.”

 

“Yes, and he broke the agreement.”

 

“How so?” Yusuke asked.

 

“He went after the guardian of the Jewel.” A demon said as he came into the room.

 

“Sagero, what is it?” Shippo asked.

 

“So your name is Sagero?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Yes, he is. My name is Shippo. That is Inuyasha. And that is Sesshomaru.”

 

Kuwabara nodded in understanding.

 

“I just wanted to check on Kagome. How is she doing?”

 

“We are waiting for her powers to come back so that she can heal herself.”

 

“Yeah, I know. I talked to one of the doctors.”

 

“Wait, you said that Kagome is the guardian of the Jewel. Then how could Youko go against the deal? That deal was made with another guardian present?” Yusuke asked.

 

“No, Kagome was the guardian of the Jewel five hundred years ago.”

 

“You mean that she is over five hundred years old?”

 

“No,” Shippo replied.

 

“Then she can time travel.” Hiei said.

 

“How did you know that? And how do you know her?”

 

“I met Kagome five hundred years ago. It is the only reasonable explanation as to why she is here now without aging and still being the guardian.

 

“When did you meet Kagome? I don't remember that!” Inuyasha shouted.

 

“I saved her life you half-breed. Where were you?”

 

Inuyasha growled and flattened his ears on his head.

 

“You mean to tell me that you knew who she was when we were fighting her and you didn't say anything?” Yusuke asked.

 

Hiei didn't say anything, but that was enough of an answer for Yusuke.

 

“I cannot believe this!”

 

“So she can time travel. That explains a lot.” Youko said thoughtfully

 

“Okay, why don't you all start from the beginning.” Kuwabara said.

 

And so Shippo began to tell Kagome's story. Inuyasha filled in the parts that he didn't know while Sesshomaru didn't say anything. He and Youko were too busy starting at the woman that had captured both of their hearts.
