Where was he? Where was that vile, despicable human being? Kurama felt stupid, a major feat in itself, because he had trusted that human who was supposed to be his partner. Given ten minutes with the boy, Kurama was certain Yusuke would only be human in the loosest meaning of the word. If the detective was lucky. If Youko had his fair say, Yusuke Urameshi would have his entrails strewn across the floor, his eyes gouged out of their sockets, and his lower regions diced and stuffed into that crude mouth after castration.

While he was able to get Kagome to give him her valuable time, Kurama was jealous. That jealousy alone frightened him. Fear was an emotion he seldom suffered from, but envy? He had never been envious of another man, much less an inexperienced, loud, argumentative boy.

Now, he was downright pissed. He had returned from the mission at around two in the morning. When Kurama was going in to check on Kagome (and Youko her thong collection), he noticed something. Kagome was not there. The panic that jolted through Kurama was startling.

Had he gotten so attracted to Kagome? Youko argued that he was just mapping uncharted territory, but he wasn't convincing Kurama. She was a keeper and they both knew it.

What the hell would they still be doing out? For Yusuke's already impending doom, Kurama prayed Yusuke hadn't discarded sanity and picked up a few habits of Youko's. He had already left several messages on the boy's answering machine, but there was no reply. It was now eight in the morning and, luckily for Kagome's attendance record, a local holiday.

Man, he wished Kuwabara weighed as much as she did.

Right now, he was carrying the beautiful girl who had helped him begin his road to recovery. He was by no means anywhere near moving passed Keiko. Hell, it had only been a day. But, she did help him forget for even a couple of hours.

It was too bad they had fallen asleep. He remembered dancing with her for at least three hours. Okay, so they didn't dance the whole time, but they knew every song. She had definitely fallen asleep sometime between “My Sherona” and “My Girl”. Oddly enough he fell asleep sometime between “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “The Last Dance”.

Kagome was still half-asleep and humming. He waited a few bars before he was able to recognize it.

“Leroy Brown?” he asked.

She started singing in response.

"Well he's bad, bad Leroy Brown"

"Wasn't he the 'Baddest man in the whole damn town'? Oh wait. That's me."

She ignored the quip and sung on.

"Badder than old King Kong

Meaner than a junkyard dog”

He was starting to hum along too until... “Kagome, where do you live?”

Her groggy response was “Tokyo.”

“Quit kidding,” he gently reproached.

“Who's kidding?” She was starting to wake up, but was not cognizant enough to argue.

He kept walking while simultaneously carrying the girl on his back. She enjoyed the in her sleep induced stupor. It was not rushed like it had always been on Inuyasha's back and he wasn't doing it to hasten her speed. He just did it because she was tired. That's it.

“We had fun last night, right?”

“Did you not have fun?” she asked in her monotone, early morning voice. Her exhaustion was evident. She hadn't lifted her head off his shoulder since the two touched that morning. Also, her eyes hadn't opened.

“I did have fun.”

“Then we had fun last night, genius.” He really enjoyed her sarcasm. She kept him on his toes.

He thought Kuwabara was too dumb to come up with something, Kurama was too smart to be interested, and Hiei was too silent and bored to care. He smirked knowing she couldn't see him.

“I kinda need to know where to take you.”

“Just drop me off at Shuuichi's.”

So this was the one of the great protectors of the human realm? This ugly buffoon was part of the team that had kept his master and all the other great demons of the other realm in check?

No more. Either the detective relinquished the human realm to his master, or this oaf would be the first to die. After him would come the rest of his team, including those traitorous degenerates who had once belonged to his master's kingdom. The demon realm would have its revenge.

“Are you prepared to die for your pathetic race, human?” The snide and malicious creature that directed the small demon supporters disliked this human, more so than any other filthy human.

“No way! I'm gonna get out of this and kick your scaly butt.”

“Hehe. We'll see human. We'll see.”

He could feel it. Something in that precise and deadly intuition of his felt it. Kurama knew something very important was about to happen. Something major and unexpected...besides him beating the ever-loving shit out of Yusuke. His first priority, however, was Yusuke. He felt it was detrimental to prevent all further actions like this on Yusuke's part. Kagome would be his.

{If you lose her to Urameshi, I'll find the ugliest, oldest, most despicable human man I can find, snap a couple pictures of `heartfelt' make-out round in the shower, then send them to your mom.}

[I'm sure you would because that's the kind of vindictive bastard you are. In case you've forgotten, I want her just as much, if not more, than you do. So you can shut the fuck up!]

Youko stuttered a little. He had never heard Shuuichi speak to him like that. Sure, they bickered, but Shuuichi had always been passive-aggressive. Youko, who thought he knew the human quite well didn't know how to react.

{We'll get her.} Youko responded in a determined and uncharacteristically serious voice.

[Of course we will Youko. Of course we will.]

However, Kurama and Yusuke would not be the only ones in this battle. Former ties would claim part of her as well. Little did anyone know that Kagome's mysterious past would return her to a battle for her life, her emotions, and her sanity.
