InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ To Meet Again ❯ To meet again and yet to find another… Or so they say. #3 ( Chapter 3 )
To meet again and yet to find another… Or so they say.
Kagome felt as though her life would get a bit better. She made up with Kurama and her mother had called not long ago to see if she was all right in her old town. She'd replied yes and told her mother of the newest danger, advising her to keep a very sharp eye out and if anything was odd or abnormal to call her if there was. Her mother was thankful to her warning.
She was now at home; she'd gone home later after the park incident, and had taken a shower along with a short nap to calm her nerves. But now she was up and energized… to bad it was two o'clock in the morning. `God that was a long nap,' she thought to herself. Kagome went to her secret compartment in her floor. She kept everything there, her darkest secrets, and her most prized possessions. She'd even put a spell on it to conceal her most important and sacred object… the one that everyone was after.
Lifting it out of the silk that was wrapped around the prized gem she smiled admiringly at it. It was beautiful, the only thing that made it the odd sort of jewel it was, was the fact that a moderately sized piece was missing. Kagome frowned at the indentation. Her gang in the feudal era had never found it. Rumors were that it was burned with Naraku or that it was passed down to his most trustable alliance and was to be kept until demons died out. Many laughed at the thought of demons dying out, but yet they did… well sort of, more of the fact that they were relocated.
She placed the jewel in the silver silk and placed it back in the steal box where her pictures of her friends were. Kagome began to get guilt pit in the bottom of her stomach as she starred at the pictures. Inuyasha was in a picture, staring off into the distance, his silk-like silvery hair trickling out into the gentle breeze. Kagome's eyes blurred and she suddenly felt like she wanted to die. It was her fault that her best friends had died, so she thought. Inuyasha had protected her from Naraku as they finally defeated him. He had survived many wounds, but this one was full of Naraku's poisonous miasma.
"They shouldn't have died," she whispered to her self. "THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DIED!" She yelled, throwing the picture of Inuyasha at the wall, the frame shattering into oblivion. The glass lay sprawled on the floor, the frame cracked into two, while Inuyasha's picture lay in between. Kagome screamed out in frustration.
She began sobbing hard and her body racked, suddenly her eyes grew dangerous as she gave a frustrated sigh, as she grabbed her jacket and headed out the door, crunching the glass on the floor with her tennis shoes. Slamming the door to the shrine she ran down the steps. She needed to get out her frustration; she needed to hit something… she needed to kill. She walked down the street, jay walking here and there to get around town, flicking off the drivers that whistled and honked at her, and most definitely shoved a few people periodically that would not move out of her way.
The next day Kagome woke up in her bed, surprisingly she had gotten home in good shape and no blood was found. Silently she thanked the lord for the fact that she hadn't done anything rash. She shed her clothing and hopped into the shower, letting the cold water run down her back. It massaged her shoulders and sent chills through her body, instantly waking her up.
Wrapping a towel around herself she walked back into her room, not caring about the glass that still lay on the floor, but avoided the large pieces.
Suddenly the shrine's doorbell was rung and a knock was to be heard.
Kurama rung the doorbell and knocked before falling into last night's… eventful evening. He'd been called to Koenma's office in the spirit realm. The whole gang was there, well physically, Kuwabara and Yusuke tended to drift to sleep. It was what the ruler had said that stunned him the most.
"Kurama, we need you to bring this girl here, it seems that someone besides our little friend here is after her."
Looking to the screen he saw a girl. It wasn't just some normal ass kicking, hot babe, who was gifted with powers. It was the hot babe that he was a good friend with, the one he had dumped, Kagome.
"She has a humungous amount of spiritual energy I think, one that could rivals the jerk over there." Koenma had said to others in the group, thrusting his finger towards the snoring Yusuke.
"She also is a great fighter, but that's not what she is needed for. Now retrieve her tomorrow morning."
"You shouldn't be thinking of such emotions fox." Hiei's voice said. Shaking his head Kurama looked to his left, Hiei's eyes seemed to pierce the door as Kurama heard footsteps.
"What do-" Kagome stopped short of her rudeness. "Oh… uh hi?" she added sheepishly.
Yusuke and Kuwabara mumbled in there sleep. Kagome poked her out of the door more, just in time to see Yusuke point is finger in the shape of a gun and mutter, "Ha-ha, dumb ass… bang."
Kagome just raised an eyebrow.
"So what you guys want?" she asked.
"We're taking you to the spirit realm." Hiei's harsh voice said. Crimson red eyes met swirling dark blue. Kagome just growled and her thoughts seemed to flash in reality before her.
There was Inuyasha the day she met him, Sango when she cried over Kohaku, Miroku when he groped her for the first time, Shippo running like a banshee because he had too much candy….
Kurama looked a bit stunned. She growled and looked as tough as nails, then the next thing when Hiei spoke she seemed to crumble like a cookie.
[A very sweet, sexy, hot, beautiful cookie] Youko added slyly.
"What is this? A joke?" Kagome gave a laugh as she shook off her weary thoughts.
Hiei gave a warning growl.
"Woman it's not a joke."
"He has no right to call me that… Inuyasha never did and neither should he." She mumbled. Instantly Kuwabara and Yusuke woke up and popped up shouting demon at the turning of events.
"You have no right coming here! Leave. I don't need your silly jokes."
Yusuke looked confused.
"What? You mean you told her about Koenma? Seriously he is a toddler but-"
"She thinks that the spirit realm is a joke. Not Koenma." Kurama sighed.
Kagome grew angry and then it dawned to her… they knew about the well. They had too! OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T BE TALKING NONSENSE LIKE THE SPIRIT REALM! Kagome yelled to herself.
She put her mask on, "Alright… take me."
Kurama was deeply confused now. She was just yelling that this was some silly joke and now she's going with it? Kurama shook his head as Youko just shrugged a shoulder and watched his prey lock the door and slide the keep into her breast pocket.
[Women think that it is one of the safest places in the world, well it was… till Youko came around.] Youko snickered.
`Youko…' Kurama just chuckled at his other halves rambling.
With two boys on each side of her she looked left and right out of the corner of her eyes, her hands slid in her pocket, and her black hair a tad wet from her shower.
Kuwabara looked at Kagome tiredly from her left side and whispered, "Why'd you leave? How'd you know we wouldn't kill you or send you into some trap?"
Kurama grew interested in the conversation as Yusuke babbled on the communicator to Boton, also eavesdropping on their discussion.
"Sometimes you just have to forgive and forget, find and destroy, solve and create." She gave a small smile and turned her head towards Kurama, who curtly smiled, knowing that she had forgiven him for such a small irrelevant matter.
"Alright she's coming. Just give her five." Yusuke said seriously. Kagome just raised an eyebrow; they must be serious if the goofball and crazy fighter are stern.
"So… why do you think our boss Koenma, ruler of the stupid spirit world, wants you?" Yusuke asked. Kagome smiled at the stupid part and answered, "Mysecret."
She sat down followed by Kurama, who sat next to her.
"So how was it like at your other school…" Kurama asked.
"It's been okay… bit odd. Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka, are a bit crazy and Hojo who wouldn't leave me alone, but yeah it was good for when I went." She took a deep breath.
"And you?" she looked into his emerald green orbs. They said almost all his emotions, his ambitions, and his thoughts, his everything… Kagome seemed to get lost in his green eyes and unconsciously she leaned a bit, not noticing the golden flicks entering in and out from time to time in his eyes.
"Same as always. Mother's fine as well." Kagome gasped quietly when realizing what she'd been doing.
[You know she was leaning in a bit about a minuet a go… why didn't you kiss her! Those loquacious luscious lips… flawless skin… toned abs! I mean she's gorgeous!] Youko purred.
`Because Youko… its not the right time.'
Youko stopped and choked, but gave a sly smile.
[So you like this one?] Kurama blushed as Youko smiled a mile wide.
Kagome smiled, he did indeed look cute when he blushed. She bent her head down; it reminded her of old times. When he would take her everywhere… till things got more and more hectic at work.
"So Kagome." Yusuke asked casually, instantly breaking Kagome from her thought process. "How do you know Suiiche? Or Kurama as we call him." He wiggled his eyebrows. Kagome blushed a dark hue of red.
"We dated a bit." She mumbled, obviously embarrassed. Yusuke grinned like maniac.
"I'm sorry could you say that a bit louder, I couldn't hear you." He said smoothly.
"We dated a bit." She said a bit louder.
"I can't hear you!" Yusuke sung.
"We dated!" She said louder.
Kuwabara and Yusuke burst out in laughter. The thought of Kurama actually picking one girl to go out with was something that made them roll around with laughter.
"Our little bachelor-" he paused for a fit of laughter. "Had a girlfriend?"
"Better watch out Kurama, you fan club might get mad!" Kuwabara elbowed Yusuke and they went into another thunderous fit of laughter.
Kagome was confused, "Fan club?"
Kurama blushed dark red. It was bad enough they had mentioned the bachelor part, but now they had to go and mention the fan club? Youko was dieing from embarrassment. [Make the stop before we loose her because she thinks were- were] He stopped stumbling over words. [AHH JUST MAKE THEM STOP!]
"She's here." Hiei stated.
Kurama silently prayed a thank you for Hiei's choice to butt in.
Kagome looked to her left and saw a panting girl with light sky blue hair drop down gasping for air, for she had just ran up a hell of a lot of steps.
"Are you-," she panted, "Ready to," she wheezed, "go?"
Yusuke just laughed again at the sight of her. There was Boton, a light pink-faced girl, who was panting for air, her clothes were ruffled and her hair flying everywhere.
"What happened to you?" Kuwabara asked questioningly.
Boton sent him a death glare, meaning he was in for a world of hurt.
"I JUST RAN UP HALF WAY ACROSS TOWN AND UP THOSE HORRID STEPS AND YOU ASK ME WHATS WRONG?" she yelled at him, steam emitting form her ears. She just sighed and put on a smile.
"Well you must be Kagome." She stuck a hand out for Kagome to shake. "I'm Boton, Koenma's assistant and the grim reaper!"
Kagome stood up and brushed her self off, she sure was happy for the fable grim reaper… who ran across half of Tokyo and ran up about 100 steps.
"Names Higarashi Kagome." She said politely, extending a hand. They shook for a brief moment, the next second she found herself following in toe behind everyone else into a swirling portal. No one was left but Kagome and Kurama.
"We're suppose to go through?" she asked, staring at the twirling mass.
"Yes, don't be scared. Trust me." He gave her hand a squeeze and she smiled. They let go as they walked into the portal, so that they wouldn't give the others any suspicious thoughts as they arrived in Koenma's office.
`It not like there is anything going on anyway' kagome thought.
