[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Disclaimer: (gives readers a look) You can't be serious. 20 chapters and you still need a disclaimer? (sighs heavily) I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha.
Kirara sighs and shuts Rin’s bedroom door sadly. ‘Poor Rin, she’s taking it so hard… I better go tell Sesshoumaru I still haven’t been able to get her to eat. He should be able to do something about it.’ She quickly tucks a piece of hair behind her ears before walking down the hall to Sesshoumaru’s study.
“Aunt Kirara, tell Hiroji to back the hell off!” Hisako yells furiously, storming away from her twin.
Kirara simply rolls her eyes and walks past the two. “How about this, no dating until this shit is cleared up. That’s an order, not a request.” She then continues down the hall, ignoring the protesting twin’s cries. She soon reaches the door and is about to knock when she hears Koenma’s voice. Instead of opening it, she sinks into a shadow and reappears in a shadow in the room.
“So, you say you have found out what Sari is planning, correct?” Sesshoumaru asks.
“Yes, she’s planning on entering this years Dark Tournament. If her team win’s she’ll have her wish granted.” Koenma says.
“And her wish is…?”
“To break down any and all barriers between the Makai and Ningenkai. I believe she also wishes to gain control of your lands, Lord Sesshoumaru.”
“She’s a fool if she thinks we’ll let the Western Lands go without a fight.” Sesshoumaru growls. “Is that all the information you have?”
“Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru. That is all.” Is Koenma’s reply. “I must return to the Reikai now, before my father catches word that I left.”
Sesshoumaru nods, dismissing Koenma, and waits until the prince leaves before turning to Kirara. “You know what to do.”
Kirara nods. “I do. I’ll get on it right away, Sesshoumaru. When should they be sent in?”
Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes bore in Kirara’s blue eyes. “Tomorrow morning is the latest. Make sure they understand what to do.”
“Understood.” Kirara replies, bowing. “And after that?”
“Inform your lands and your son-in-law’s lands. If our first plan fails, we’ll need the combined strength of all three lands.”
“What about Yomi, Mukuro, and Raizen?”
“Yomi won’t be interested, Raizen is fading away as we speak, however, there is a possibility that Mukuro may be interested. Now go, Kirara. We’re wasting needed time.”
Kirara nods before exiting the room via the shadows.
The Next Morning
“Bye guys!” Kagome, Sango, and Keiko yell to Shizuru, Botan, Yukina, and Genkai.
“Bye Kagome! Bye Keiko! Bye Sango! I hope to see you all again soon!” Yukina says, waving as the three schoolgirls disappear around the corner.
Keiko glances at Kagome. “So Kagome, what are you going to do after school?”
Kagome shrugs. “No clue really. What about you, Sango?”
“Well, we’ll have to get home as soon as we can to make sure Miroku didn’t taint Shippou, Kohaku, and Souta’s minds with his… ‘monk-like’ ways.”
Kagome giggles slightly. “Yeah, really. He has a habit of doing that. After all, look at us. We can now almost always figure out Miroku’s implications and what he’s thinking. What does that say about us?”
The three girls laugh at that thought.
Keiko sighs. “Listen, I’ll see you all at school. I need to go find Yusuke so I can drag him there.”
Kagome giggles as a rouge thought flits across her mind. “You know, Keiko, you need a leash for my poor cuz.”
“Hmm…” Keiko imagines that for a moment before cracking up. “Yeah right! He’d be dragging me everywhere, not the other way around!” She shakes her head. “I’ll see you two at school! Later!”
Sango and Kagome wave to the brunet girl as she runs down the road to get her boyfriend.
Sango sighs. “You know, Kagome. There’s one thing that I have to agree on with Yusuke.”
“Oh? What is it, Sango?”
Sango closes her eyes for a moment before glancing over at Kagome with a smile. “School sucks.”
Kagome laughs at Sango’s statement. “Sango, I believe you’ve been around Yusuke for far too long!”
The two girls continue chatting and laughing all the way up to the school gates. Their conversation gets cut short right as they’re passing under a tree.
“Oh guys…!” A familiar sing-songy voice calls out. “It’s time for training…!”
Kagome and Sango both freeze in place and look up in the tree to see Ayame perched on one of the branches. Beside her is Hana and on another branch is Kagura.
Ayame’s wearing a pure white uniform. The scarf and designs on the collar and skirt are the only things in blue. Her brilliant red hair is, as usual, up in two ponytails and she still has the white strip of wolf fur tied around her forehead.
Hana is wearing a white uniform as well, except the scarf and designs are red and gold; the colors of the Western Lands. Her long silver and black hair is braided back into a long French braid, and her dog ears are hidden due to a spell.
Kagura’s uniform is navy blue with a white scarf and designs. Instead of her usual green beaded earrings, she’s wearing silver feather earrings. Her hair’s up in it’s usual style, with three feathers tucked into the band.
Ayame smirks at the expressions on the two girls faces. “Now, now, we do have one full day of school until we have to train! Let’s get this day finished up and hit the training!” She takes on a thoughtful look for a moment. “Kouga should be bringing the boys, so you don’t have to worry about them ditching.”
Hana smiles. “The bell will ring soon and we have yet to retrieve our schedules. I’m sure Miroku will show Kouga where to go, but we have no clue. Perhaps one of you can show us the way?”
Sango sighs. “We’ll both take you. If I’m the one to show you the way, we’ll all wind up getting lost. That school is like a maze.”
Ayame laughs and jumps down. Kagura and Hana soon follow.
“Alright then, lead the way!” Ayame says energetically.
Kagome nods and her and Sango start walking, ignoring the stares they get. Ayame, Hana, and Kagura follow behind them.
