To meet again and yet to find another… Or so they say.
Today was another great day of the autumn bliss, the leaves were gently falling, and light warm breezes happen to lift the spirits of many people. Kagome walked down the street again, ice cream in hand, and began to look for something to do. Catching a flash of green in the distance she noticed that it could only be one person, Yusuke. She noticed the honor code kid with him, named Kuwabara, a red head, and a short black haired guy were strolling along with him casually.
Yusuke seemed to see her too and Kagome groaned as he ran towards her, cussing the person who drove down the street when the driver almost hit him.
"Damn drivers, I already got hit once…" He panted. Cursing a few more times before finally letting it go he said, "Hey Kagome!"
"Hey Yusuke. What's up?"
"Uh I was wondering if you'd want to finish our fight? Or redo it since he," he jabbed his finger towards Kuwabara and the other two guys crossing the street to catch up. "Interrupted us."
"Right now?" she asked.
"Yeah!" he said with an overconfident grin.
"Yusuke its against-"
"Your code." Kagome finished for him.
"Trust me Kuwabara was it? I don't mind. I'm not like most girls." She said with a grin. Kuwabara consciously rubbed his wrists, "No kidding. I remember when you uh…" he stopped short full of embarrassment of being beat up by a girl.
"Still Miss, Yusuke is very strong. You could get hurt." Said the red head.
Kagome looked him up and down.
"Trust me. I'm counting on it."
The guy with black hair raised an eyebrow at her statement.
"What do you mean? You want to get hurt?" Yusuke asked.
"No, I'm counting on you to be strong silly." She said with a giggle. Yusuke looked at her oddly with her strange behavior.
"Oh... yeah."
"So..." she paused and gave Kurama one last look. She didn't like his voice or his looks. He sounded just like HIM, looked just like HIM; the real question was… was this an older version of HIM?
"What's your name?" Kurama looked startled by the question but it fazed off.
"Suiichi." He said plainly.
`HMM.' Kagome thought to her self. `He doesn't remember me.'
Turning her attention back to Yusuke she asked, "Are you ready?"
Yusuke smirked and threw off his jacket as kagome walked back, threw her own jacket off, tied back her hair, and munched the last of her ice cream, not noticing the disappointment in a pair of crimson eyes.
"Yusuke! Seriously I don't-"
"Shut up!" Yusuke cut Kuwabara off.
In her stance Kagome awaited for Yusuke.
"Begin." She said flatly. "Same Rules."
Yusuke and Kagome waited patiently for a long time before Kagome grew tired of these mental games of "you go first, no you!" Running forward with a full burst of speed she appeared at his side only to fake a punch and appear on his other side giving him a rounding kick. Yusuke fortunately blocked the kick and planted a few punches forward towards her torso only to also, find them blocked. Jumping a few times to get a good distance away she went into a crouching position and watched Yusuke's every move as he launched forward to only to mysteriously pull back and arm to swing a punch. Kagome saw it! In a blink of an eye she had located his weak spot in his technique that would send him unbalanced and knock him to his feet. With a swift dodge she managed to escape the blaze of punches and locate the weak spot once again, only to find out that he suddenly kept an awful close eye on her gaze, skidding to a halt behind him she merely karate chopped the back of his neck on a certain pressure point as though it was her back up plan. And that was it. He landed on his knees, surprised by the amount of pressure that she had used on that one point. Kagome just stood behind him and gave a small triumphant smile. Leaning forward over his neck and draping an arm over his shoulder, she whispered low, "I win."
Yusuke didn't seem to think so as he gripped her wrist and pulled her over his shoulders and she landed with a thud on her back. Kagome saw his angle. There is no end till someone says mercy. Flinging her legs behind her head, she wrapped her ankles around his neck and thrusted him forward, launching him over her body and into a wrestling style mattered headlock. He gripped his hands around her knees as she squeezed tighter.
"Mercy?" she asked with a giggle.
"Never!" he managed out.
"Oh come on! We already broke the rules!" she said with a small smile.
Yusuke frowned.
Finding his a way out of her technique, he managed to wriggle free and stand up. Kagome did a backwards somersault and rolled up into her fighting stance. Suddenly she stood up and her body pulsed. Her eyes went wide and she looked around.
"What?" Yusuke asked, seeing how she was acting oddly. Kagome sent him a death glare.
"I have to go. You win Yusuke." With that she swiftly picked up her jacket and ran out of the park.
Jogging over, Kurama and Kuwabara began throwing questions.
"Yusuke. Who was that?"
"Her names Kagome."
Kurama seemed to shake off the state of shock. That's why she was acting strange, looking him up and down. She knew who he was and yet didn't say anything about it! Yes, most girls "checked" him out too but her gaze was different, much different. She seemed a tad cold, yet heart warming and soothing, like a purified soul. But now he felt a stab of guilt. His thoughts went back to the night that they'd broken up.
[Blame Koenma!] A voice in the back of his head stated. [He did it.]
Kurama smiled at the thought of Youko trying to blame someone else instead of himself. Kurama felt sad after she left. Everyone had noticed too, that's why he still kept turning down girls. He always felt guilty about her and the job. He never wanted to make that decision again. Ever. Some times he wished that he'd find someone that knew of demons, that knew his job would be tough, that knew sometimes he couldn't always be there, but alas he hasn't found one. Or so it seems…
Suddenly Hiei's head shot up and his eyes became narrowed. He'd obviously sensed something, something that wasn't making him too pleased.
Kagome raced forward. She had felt it. It had to be! There was nothing else that made her pulse and if it was something different, it was definitely powerful enough to get her priestess radar pumping. She turned a sharp left and kept running down the mildly crowded streets. Its only 30feet ahead, she thought to her self, no… it's moving. It's coming this way? She halted and looked around. She saw nothing peculiar, no strangeness, nothing at all. She looked at the peoples faces as they walked by trying to sense anything demonic about them… no, she's human… he is too… she is- no she's human… damn it there all human. Kagome bit her lip in a childish manner.
"He's here. I can sense it!"
Catching something out of the corner of her eye she noticed a tall man with dark brownish-black hair. He was fairly built and tough looking, and was staring at her in pure amusement. Kagome stood straight up, her guard never faulting, and tilted her head to say she knew he was there and HE was her target. The man chuckled once again and smiled.
"Seems you still have your touch priestess." Kagome didn't move, his voice rang clear as a bell, yet he had to be at least 20feet away and leaning against the wall, smirking and appearing as at though he was talking to himself in a loud crowded area.
"You may be helpful to me."
Kagome responded quickly, "How so?"
The man didn't expect to hear her say that and raised an eyebrow.
"You can help me eliminate Yusuke and his little spirit detective gang." His voice was venomous.
"And if I refuse?" she asked.
"Then it would seem we have become… enemies."
Kagome then took her turn to laugh, "Enemies maybe, but is that the jewel shard I sense? How did you come to possess it?" Her laugh immediately stopped along with her triumphant smirks and pleasurable feelings as he replied, "Oh, your goal is the jewel then?"
Kagome gave a growl. He was toying with her, trying to get her to become interested in his offer by using the jewel as his key to a victorious challenge. He knew she'd do almost anything to get it.
"My dear, I got this," He lifted the jewel shard around his neck, it wasn't very large, yet wasn't very small, but was purely black.
"From a dear friend. He happened to be a good friend who… had an accident." Kagome's eyes widened then gave him a death glare that seemed to bounce right off him.
Suddenly he smiled and looked to his left, his hand released from the jewel. Kagome lunged. Now was her chance, while he was distracted she could snag the jewel. Her hand was inches from touching it when she suddenly found herself slammed against the ground in a nearby park, the park she'd been to with Yusuke, Forgotten Memories Central Park.
Her hands were twisted around her back, her legs pinned underneath him. He sat right on top, his hot breath on her shoulder. He dipped his head lower to whisper menacing words, "I believe, that was wrong my dear. You've made a bad move." He was mere millimeters from her ear. Desperately he wanted to lick her ear and send chills through her body, to watch her squirm, but he kept his composure and overruled his desire.
A black blur launched at her attacker. The man on top of Kagome jumped off of her and moved a good 10yds away. Kagome felt instant relief as her arms sorely pushed herself up. That bastard! She thought maliciously. How dare he! She rubbed her arms and soon found that Yusuke was right by her, "You alright? Don't tell me he hurt you."
The man was standing in a smug like way and staring at her. Kagome starred right back looking for the shard, she noticed he had it still a round his neck. He grasped the jewel and dangled it from affair, torturing her.
"Your choice." He whispered. With that he was gone. Kagome glanced at the others. Apparently they've had trouble with that dude before.
"What?" she asked.
"What is he talking about?" The guy in the black asked. "Hiei is right. Kagome do you know who that was?" Kurama asked. Kagome's heart sunk with his words, but she firmly answered with a nod implying that she did not know.
"He'd our newest arch enemy."
"Kagome… May I?" Kurama asked, gazing at her bruised wrist. Kagome didn't have time to answer as he launched a hand around her wrist. She jerked her hand back.
"I can't depend on you. Remember?"
Kurama's face frowned. She's being so stubborn on that one night!
"You can."
Hiei looked confused in his dark eyes, as were the others. Remember what? They all mentally wondered. Hiei spiritually called out to Kurama.
`Fox what is going on?'
Silence.
`Don't toy with me.' He growled.
Kagome just bit her lip like she always did, in a childlike manner. She tilted her head forward and she locked eyes with him, "Can I?"
Kurama looked at her again with a hint of sadness but relief, she might actually forgive him.
"You can."
"Forgive him for what?" Yusuke yelled. Kagome gave a smile and looked at Yusuke, which instantly made Kurama get this odd feeling, something, he'd never had before. He felt a tad angry and sad, he was what some called jealous. She looked back at Kurama with an award-winning smile.
"You win. We'll start a new." She said.
Kurama smiled and looked over her wrist.
