Disclamier: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu
 
Psychopyro16- I'd love to do a story wit you! Just tell me what show and we can form ideas…? I'm new at this so… yeh.
 
 
`Youko'
`Kurama'

Ch.6
 
Stepping inside the portal, Miroku and Sango sat on the couch, while Kagome sat on the arm. Miroku looked at who was speaking and began laughing hysterically. “HA HA! A- toddler- is- HA HA- Botan's boss?” He put his hand over his mouth to reduce the laughter.
 
Koenma pouted in his chair. `Why does everyone make fun of me because I look like a toddler?' he asked himself.
 
Sango just rolled her eyes. `Miroku could be so immature some times.' She bonked him on the head to get him to be quiet. It worked; his laughing had stopped as he rubbed his head.
 
“So where are we?” she asked. She hated going somewhere she didn't know. For all she knew, someone could be waiting to attack them any moment. She was satisfied to know she still remembered how to fight, thanks to her previous life.
 
Kagome sighed. She knew what spirit world was because she had told Koenma of her mission involving the Shikon Jewel. She took a big breath as she began to explain what Spirit world was, who Koenma was, how he knew them, what Botan's job was, and yada yada yada.
 
Sango and Miroku let the information sink in before they nodded at her to show they understood. All three turned their attention to the surprisingly quiet toddler in the chair.
 
Koenma crossed his fingers over his desk. Clearing his throat, he began. “I've called you all here to inform you about something very important. I know you've been through a lot, but I'm going to ask you anyways, would you still be willing to fight youkai to protect ningenkai?”
 
They all looked at each other. When Sango and Miroku were reborn, they had a new chance at living a peaceful life, without all the hardships and danger. Would they want to leave their normal lives to protect humans? It was a no brainer.
 
“Yes.” They both answered in unison. The only one who didn't answer was Kagome. She looked deep in thought.
 
`We've already completed the Shikon Jewel, thus saving millions. Would it be worth it to throw another life away?' she frowned. `Haven't we done our share?' Her thoughts went back to her family. She couldn't save them. `I cannot allow any more innocents to die.' She thought with determination. “Sure, why not.”
 
Koenma smiled briefly before turning serious again. “I have some bad news for you. Naraku has returned.”
 
All three froze. They had killed him. Everyone watched him die.
 
Snapping out of the stupor first, Miroku asked, “How is this possible? We killed him in the past.”
 
“Apparently, he had been in hiding. It seems before he died, he released one last attachment, which had been growing all these years. He has said to be spotted around Ningenkai.”
 
Sango's face was void of emotion. She had lost her whole tribe to them, risking her life to ensure she got her revenge. So many lives have been sacrificed because of him. Her eyes turned cold. `He used Kohaku. I cannot allow him to live once more!' “How would we be able to fight him? I mean Kagome has her powers, I think, but Miroku and I have lost our abilities to fight.”
 
“That's why I have chosen to return you to your old forms. Your bodies will have the same power you did all those years ago, and they will remember how to fight and use weapons.” Koenma said nodding his head.
 
`Looks like he planned everything out…' Kagome mused to herself.
 
“Well, that's nifty”, Miroku said while rubbing his chin.
 
Pulling a bag out of his desk, he threw the contents on Sango and Miroku, making them glow white. When it diminished, Miroku had his staff and Sango had her Hiraikotsu.
 
“Ahh, good to have my Hiraikotsu back.” Sango said as she slung it over her shoulder. She briefly stared at Kagome. “Ya know, I've been wondering. How are you alive? I thought you weren't reincarnated the same time as us!”
 
Miroku looked at her too. He was going to ask her the same question when they were in the coffee shop.
 
Kagome blinked. “Oh yeah, I forgot you didn't know. Well, I was Inuyasha's guardian angel, before I chose to become mortal again.”
 
“Then what happened to Inuyasha?”
 
Narrowing her eyes, she turned away from her friends. “Let's just say some clay pot decided to come into the picture again.”
 
Sango nodded with understanding. `Kikyo again…'
 
“Sorry to break up your little conversation but, I have another thing to tell you. I decided collect the other people in your shard collecting group to help.” Koenma said while lying back in his chair.
 
Both Sango and Miroku looked at Kagome with sadness. They both knew how much it hurt her every time Inuyasha chose Kikyo. But what's even worse is that he picked her over Kagome for the SECOND time.
 
The door suddenly opened, and out appeared the famous inu hanyou, with his triangular ears on top of his head. He was still wearing modern clothing, but had claws on his hands and feet (meaning he had no shoes). A fang poked out of his mouth as he walked in with his arms crossed. “Keh” was the first thing he said as he walked through the door.
 
The surprise didn't end there. Behind him, was Kikyo, her brown eyes observed everyone before her, including the fuming Kagome.
 
Kagome turned a murderous glare at Koenma making him `eep'. “What …the hell … is she… doing here?” she gritted out, fire igniting in her eyes.
 
Koenma tried a futile attempt to disappear in his chair. “I-I thought we'd need another m-miko.” He managed to stutter out.
 
Her eyes flashed dangerously. “What? Am I not strong enough?”
 
He quickly waved his hands in front of him, trying to clear up the facts. “No no no! He has become very powerful, I just thought it would be better to have a stronger group.”
 
She calmed down a bit, but not before she glared at him warningly. Sitting back on the couch, she waved her hand to have him go on.
 
Gulping, he tried to regain his composition. “Well, I'll be having other people joining you as well.”
 
Inuyasha snorted. “We don't need anyone's help. We're fine on our own.”
 
“On the contrary, I will be giving you powerful teammates. Botan, send them in.”
 
The blue-haired ferry girl quickly opened a portal to reveal none other then Yusuke and his group.
 
Sango's eyes widened slightly at the sight of Kurama, before it was covered up with a serious face.
 
Yusuke was agitated. Botan had woken him up from his afternoon nap, telling him he needed to get up because Koenma needed him. “What do you want tod-“ but before he could Finnish his sentence, he noticed Kagome and Miroku, along with other people he didn't know. All of them had a high source of power radiating off of him.
 
Looking closer, he noticed Miroku had a staff-looking thing, and the girl with the low ponytail had a huge boomerang on her back. He observed the other pair by the door. He had sensed the one with silver hair and doggy ears was partially human and youkai. The girl behind him made him do a double take. She looked like Kagome, only more older and serious looking. “What the heck is going on?!” he yelled, getting everyone's attention.
 
The rest of the rekai tentai were just as curious as Yusuke was.
 
-Kitsune-
 
`Yes Hiei?'
 
-The ningen that is staying with the detective is a miko. Along with the other onna by the hanyou. -
 
`I know. That is quiet peculiar. Miko's haven't been seen around for a long time.'
 
-Hn.-
 
Dropping their mental conversations, they listened for someone to speak up and explain.
 
Koenma coughed. Satisfied that all eyes were on him, he began to explain everything. “You know that youkai Naraku I told you about, right? Well in the past, these people have fought and defeated him.” He said while gesturing to the inu-gumi that nodded in requisition.
 
Yusuke was totally confused. “Wait, Kagome. You know about youkai?!”
 
She nodded slightly while smiling innocently at him like it was nothing big. He gritted his teeth together. `Things are getting too complicated!'
 
“I'm a miko!” she exclaimed proudly. “She is too.” She added in monotone while pointing to Kikyo.
 
“WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!” Kuwabara screamed, making humans and youkai cover their ears.
 
“Baka, we can all hear you just fine.” Hiei said as he kicked him hard in the shin.
 
“Why you- now your gunna get it!” Kuwabara said as he lunged for Hiei, who easily side stepped out of the way, having Kuwabara end up on the ground.
 
Everyone laughed at the poor saru, Kuwabara.
 
She sighed. `That boy is so stupid…' she thought to herself. “I am Kagome Higurashi, the guardian of the shikon no tama.”
 
The reikai tentai gasped. “YOU have it?” Yusuke asked, bewildered.
 
Kagome smiled. “Yup!”
 
Hiei narrowed his eyes. “How is that possible? The guardian died long ago, how could she possibly be the protector?”
 
Sticking her tongue out at him, Kagome begun to explain. “Well you are right. I did die. It just so happens it was right after we killed Naraku. The jewel was then re-absorbed into my body. And under certain circumstances,” she said while eyeing Inuyasha,” I was brought back to life, thus bringing the jewel back.”
 
“What a foolish thing to do onna.” Hiei said leaning against the wall.
 
Kagome waved her hand at him nonchalantly. “I know. I brought back a powerful object that could destroy the world over a simple selfish wish that wasn't even worth it.”
 
Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head. Guilt started to pierce through his heart. Kikyo held his hand and gave him a reassuring squeeze. He looked at her and smiled softly. `I did the right thing. I chose the right person…' he said to himself, positive he did nothing wrong.
 
[Kogas_mate05: That's what you think!]
 
Kagome never looked at Inuyasha. “Once again, I've made a mistake, and I will take the responsibility of protecting it no matter what.”
 
“Where is it?” Kurama asked. Youko was very curious to see it. `The legendary jewel! That was the next thing I was going to steal before my little mishap.'
 
`Don't do anything rash Youko. She could easily purify us.' He looked at Sango's weapon. `And it seems there is a demon exterminator here too.'
 
Youko just yawned, flashing his pearly white fangs. `I could take `em.'
 
Kurama once again ignored the kitsune inside of him.
 
Kagome looked at Kurama cautiously. She had felt a bit of kitsune in him, and after traveling with Shippo, she knew they were trouble. Taking a glance at Yusuke, her worries were put aside. `If he is friends with Yusuke, he has to be good.'
 
Connecting her fingers together, she held them in front of her chest. Her eyes closed in concentration. A pink glow appeared as the jewel seemed to melt from out of her skin. Grasping the jewel in her hand, she opened it to show the reikai tentai.
 
`Hm, we could easily snatch it from her.' Youko said confidently.
 
`We will not steal from her. After all, I'm still on probation.'
 
`Spoil sport.' Was all the silver kitsune said before disappearing from Kurama's mind at the moment.
 
Both Hiei and Kurama felt the power of the jewel lure them in. It called to them, begging them to take it.
 
Seeing both youkai focused on the jewel, Kagome quickly sealed the power up, absorbing it back into her body.
 
Both Yusuke and Kuwabara were shocked. “That thing had a lot of power…” Kuwabara stated with his mouth still ajar.
 
“They will be your new teammates.” Koenma said.
 
Hiei fumed silently. `Hn. More baka ningen's to work with.'
 
Kurama didn't mind. He quietly observed Sango. `This may prove to be interesting…'
 
Kuwabara was thinking about kitties and Yukina, and Yusuke was still recovering. “Wait wait wait! What the heck just happened?” he screamed, clutching his head, looking utterly confused.
 
Walking over to him, Kagome patted his gelled hair. “It's okay Yu-chan! Here's a quick overview. Okay, so we're all from the past” she said gesturing to herself and the inu-gumi, “and we're going to be joining your group to help defeat an old evil!”
 
“Whatever!” he said as he threw his arms in the air in defeat.
 
Kagome giggled. “Just try not to think about it.”
 
He quickly turned around. “Wait a sec, did you call me `yu-chan'?!”
 
She nodded and pinched his cheeks. “What? Don't you like your new nickname?” she asked while pouting her lips.
 
Yusuke just gulped as he stared at her lips. `Those lips look so tempting…' He pulled her hands from his cheeks and turned away before she could see the light blush on his face. `Stupid hormones.'
 
Inuyasha watched with jealous eyes. `So, she's already close with another male huh? Keh, who needs her.'
 
Sensing eyes glaring at her, she turned to face inuyasha. Their eyes met as a fierce battle of wits started between them. Inuyasha turned away first with a `feh' as Kagome smirked in victory. That puppy had the nerve to challenge her.
 
The room was silent, each members of the rekai tentai and inu gumi checking the others out. Kagome broke the silence. “What day is it?”
 
Kurama politely answered. “I believe it is the 19th of December.”
 
Kagome clapped her hands together happily. “I know! In a way to get to know each other, why don't we have a Christmas party?!”
 
Everyone stared at her. Miroku's eyes twinkled mischievously at the thought of mistle toe. It would be perfect if he could some how manage to get a certain blue-haired girl underneath it…
 
He had a dreamy smile on his face as he thought of the moment where their lips would touch. Quickly snapping out of his daydream, he spoke up. “I agree with Kagome. It would be better if we all learned to be able to trust each other. Our lives might depend on our teamwork in the future. Plus, we could add in some holiday cheer!”
 
Sango looked at him suspiciously. `The monk is up to something…' She glanced a look at Kurama. `But if I get to talk to him, maybe it won't be so bad.' “I'm in with the idea.”
 
Everyone else but Yusuke and Hiei agreed it would be a good idea. Yusuke rose an eyebrow at Kagome. “So tell me, where would the party be?” He knew where she wanted it to be.
 
She looked at him with pleading eyes. “Yu-chan! Can we please have it at the apartment? I swear I won't pull any more pranks on you!” She quivered her bottom lip for a better effect.
 
Sighing, he gave in. “Fine, but your cleaning up.”
 
Kagome smiled and jumped in the air. “YAY!” Looking at Yusuke, she grinned devilishly. “Fine, then your helping me set everything up!”
 
Yusuke groaned. She always managed to turn things against him. “If every thing is settled, can we go home now?”
 
Koenma had started ignoring them after Yusuke's outburst and started stamping. He looked up from his work and nodded. “Just be on guard for any of Naraku's henchmen. Botan will take you to where ever you need to go.”
 
Hearing her name, she stood up. “Okay! Everyone in the portal!”
 
Everyone disappeared into the portal before only Yusuke and Kagome were left. Yusuke took a peek at Kagome. She was spacing out. `Great, Inuyasha and Kikyo are going to be there too… but I guess I can't really hate Kikyo. *sigh* But I have to get along with them.'
 
Yusuke waved a hand in front of her face. “HELLO?” No response. Growling as good as a human can, he dragged her in the portal.
 
Everyone else waited for the two remaining people to come out. They were greeted with a hilarious site. Yusuke and Kagome came rolling out, wrestling with each other.
 
Yusuke had Kagome in a headlock, while she was pulling on his hair. She bit down on his arm hard, and he let go of her head with a yelp. Using the distraction, she quickly rolled from underneath him and pinned his arms behind his back while she straddled his waist. “Checkmate!” she said happily.
 
Everyone but Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Hiei laughed at the couple.
 
Miroku walked over to Kurama and started whispering to him. “Wanna make a bet on how long their going to take to hook up?”
 
Kurama's eyes flashed gold for a split second at the sound of a bet. “Sure, how about the loser has to do whatever the winner wants?”
 
He nodded. “I'll say… a week.”
 
Kurama rose an eyebrow. “That quick? Well I say a week and a half.”
 
Miroku smiled. “It's on!”
 
The both shook hands and thought the same thing, `I'm going to win this bet!'
 
 
 
 
Yay! I finally got another chapter up! Well it's winter break so I'll try writing more! I LOVE FEED BACK!
