Chapter 7

 

Selena was making her way home deep in thought when she came to a decision and opened a portal to spirit world instead. She stepped into a small plain office that had a desk piled high with paperwork and if you looked around the stacks you would see what looked like a child with a pacifier grumbling about needing a vacation. The child, Koenma, is actually the prince of spirit world and is a lot older than he looks. He and his spirit detectives monitor the barrier between the realms and handle rogue demons that would cause harm. After listening to him grumble for another minute she decided to make her presence known by letting her power flare successfully knocking him out of his chair.

 

Koenma pulled himself up glaring at the vixen. “Why do you feel the need to do that every time you come into my office?”

 

“Because you're to slow to notice me and because I can.”

 

“What do you want Lady Selena?”

 

Her eyes became hard and her form rigid, “he's getting closer to my sister brat and I have a few questions.”

 

“I'll answer what I can.”

 

“You will answer all or pay the price.” She made sure he knew how serious she was by bringing her purification powers to the surface watching his eyes grow large. “How can he still retain memories of his past existence. Aren't all reincarnations supposed to be relieved of their memories so they can start over.”

 

“That's correct. No soul should be able to remember their past life.”

 

Her eyes narrowed and became harder,” then explain to me why he seems to be looking for Kagome and is getting closer.”

 

“That's not possible.”

 

“Oh but it is possible she has felt him searching for her. I warn you now Koenma regardless of his humanity when he attacks he will be dealt with and this time his soul will remain in hell.”

 

“You can't do that.”

 

“Watch us. Enma knew of this centuries ago and I'm only here to warn you that he is coming. Don't make the mistake of getting in our way.” She turned and opened a portal back to Makai. “Oh and by the way your chair's on fire,” she said and left grinning.

 

Koenma turned to see his chair was engulfed in blue flames. “Ah. HELP FIRE.”

 

The moon was full in Makai as Selena enjoyed the peaceful night air before going inside where she was met by Nara. “We'll have company soon Nara.”

 

“So it's nearly time then. I assume you will be leaving to help Kagome in her fight.”

 

“Yes and her family will be coming here so they will be protected. We still have some time left because he's still searching.”

 

“I'll begin making the arrangements and I'll ready their rooms.”

 

“Thank you Nara. I'm going to gather my supplies. Oh before I forget Kagome sends her love and says that next time you better come as well.”

 

Kagome dragged herself into the classroom yawning as she sat in her seat. Thanks to her mate she had little sleep even if it was a pleasurable night. She forced herself to wake up by drinking several cups of coffee and had another one in hand. While she looked over her notes she didn't notice that Suichi had come in and sat beside her as usual.

 

Suichi was taking his supplies out for class when a fain scent cought his attention it was lavender and rain. `How peculiar,' he thought. He leaned a little closer dicreetly trying to catch more of the scent.

 

*Where is that smell coming from red?” asked Youko.

 

`It's coming from Kagome. Why do you ask?'

 

*No reason it just reminded me of someone.” Youko refused to say anymore, but stayed close to the surface watching Kagome from behind Suichi's eyes.

 

“Good morning Kagome. How was dinner with you husband and sister? I hope it went well.”

 

Kagome was startled when he spoke to her and clutched her hand to her chest. “For heaven's sake Suichi don't scare me like that and dinner went well thank you. As a matter of fact she'll be coming to stay with me for a little while.”

 

“Oh, well I hope to be able to meet her if she's anything like you.”

 

Kagome just chuckled, “my sister is very intelligent. I learned all I know of plants from her. She has amazing gardens full of herbs and various other plants that she keeps well tended, but she is very mischievous.”

 

*”Sounds like my kind of woman. We should meet her red especially if she looks anything like her.”

 

` Shut up Youko. Now is not the time.'

 

Kagome noticed that Suichi had gold leaking into his normally green eyes and knew that the second soul was just under the surface. She always wondered how he came to have two souls in his body, but she could also see where they were beginning to merge. `I wondered who the second one is. Whoever he is he's old and powerful.'

 

Suichi turned to see Kagome watching him with curiosity. “So when will your sister actually be coming into town?”

 

“She'll be her next week.”

 

“Well I hope her stay is enjoyable.”

 

“Thank you Suichi.” The teacher started class and everyone began their notes and assignments. For the week everything was quiet, but Kagome could feel Naraku's aura still searching for her.

 

Selena was ready as she double checked her bags and gathered the gifts she had for her friends. She smiled at being able to spend a little time with friends and possibly tease Inuyasha just a bit. After saying her goodbyes to Nara she opened a portal to the home she kept in Ningenkai. It was on the grounds where Kagome and Inuyasha lived and was well kept. She noticed that someone had also put fresh roses and lavender around the house making it feel warm and welcome. She unpacked the few bags she brought with her before changing and heading out to find Kagome. `I hop Inuyasha like the surprise I left for him,' she grinned. The first stop she made was to a local coffee shop that she visited every time she came for her visits. The walk was enjoyable as she received many appraising looks from men she passed. When she entered the school campus several young men stopped her trying to find out who she was and if she wanted to go out. She politely rejected each one saying she was only looking for her sister and nothing more. The campus was larger than she remembered and was having a hard time finding Kagome. All of the different scents only made it harder so she sat down on a bench under a sakura tree across the street in front of the campus to wait.

 

Suichi who was currently trying to dodge a few of his more aggressive stalkers was once more following Kagome. She couldn't help but laugh at the young man's turmoil.

 

“Hey, Suichi we gotta go.” Everyone looked up to see Yusuke walking calmly towards them and the young women took a few steps back in fear. There were very few who wanted anything to do with the handsome young man because he liked to fight and had a reputation for being a troublemaker. He wanted to laugh at his friend's predicament, but chose to take pity on him instead. “Can't you see he doesn't want anything to do with you women? Now get out of here.” He couldn't help the smirk that found its way to his face as they all scattered and noticed that one was still present. Taking a good look he recognized her as the woman he met the other day. “I thought you were supposed to be protecting him.”

 

Kagome glared at him. “It's not like I can protect him everyday. What do you take me for his personal bodyguard? If you think he needs one than you do it.” She was about to continue her ranting when she felt a familiar aura pulse and she looked in the direction it came from. Across the street leaning against a tree was familiar presence that made her smile. “Selena,” she whispered.

 

Suichi and Yusuke both felt the powerful aura pulse as if looking for someone when they heard Kagome whisper a name. Suichi was confused when Youko became more alert. Across the street was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. She was petite with long wavy silver hair with dark blue streaks. Her eyes were the same blue as her hair with full lips. The outfit she wore hugged all of her curves and consisted of a deep blue silk shirt that was sleeveless and stopped at mid thigh, black form fitting pants and a pair of flat black boots that went to her knees. Never before had he felt such lust just from looking at a woman and he could tell Yusuke felt the same. `Who is that woman?'

 

”Selena, I knew she still lived,” said Youko. “If she is the sister Kagome speaks of we will track her down. I won't allow her to escape me again.

 

`Who is she and what do you mean again.'

 

”I've hunted this vixen for over three hundred years and she's managed to either dodge or escape me each time. What I'd like to know though is why she's with a human.”

 

Suichi smirked, `you mean a woman actually denied you. I thought you were never denied anything Youko and she's a demon as well.'

 

”Don't get ahead of yourself red. She's the only vixen to ever escape me and the only one to ever keep my interest. Not only is she very cunning, but she grows plants that could nearly beat my death tree.”

 

`This one I've got to meet'

 

Yusuke was having similar thoughts at the beauty that was standing across the street smiling. He was brought from his thoughts as Kagome quickly said her goodbyes and was making her way across the street. Making his decision he followed along with Suichi.

 

Kagome walked to her sister and gave her a hug. “Hey, I didn't now you were coming here. Did you get settled into the cottage?”

 

“Well I was out walking around and decided to meet you here and yes I'm settled into the house. I have a few gifts for you and Inuyasha as well. Although I already left one for him.” She was grinning and the mischief was clearly presenting her eyes.

 

“Oh no, Selena what did you leave for him?”

 

“Don't worry it's nothing that will hurt him, besides I couldn't resist.” She finally looked around Kagome to see two young men standing there waiting. As she studied them her attention was drawn to the red head and noticed his eyes were nearly gold and had tow auras coming from him. She concentrated a little harder trying to place the familiar aura when it receded leaving his eyes a forest green with gold alonc the edges. They were both demons and she knew that they were very powerful.

 

Kagome noticed that she was looking at something behind her and turned to see Suichi and Yusuke. “Oh I didn't realize you were there.” Ok so she lied a little. She was hoping they would go away. “I guess you guys want to meet my sister. Selena this is Suichi Minnamino and Yusuke Urameshi.”

 

“It's nice to meet you both.” She was surprised when the red head extended his hand and thinking he wanted to shake it extended hers as well.

 

Suichi felt youko start to take control of their body as he lifted her hand and kissed it. “It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful woman,” he said as his eyes locked with hers. He was disappointed when she took her hand back eyes flashing in annoyance.

 

”Still calm as ever my beautiful vixen, but his time I'll find you.”

 

`You will explain this later Youko.'

 

Yusuke was shocked that the beautiful woman didn't fall for the fox's charms and looks. “I don't believe it. A woman that doesn't get all giggly or faint.”

 

Selena looked at the handsome man. “And why would I do that?”

 

“Every other woman does. Hell he even has his own fan club.”

 

She just chuckled softly, “I see. Well I assume you Yusuke that I'm not every other woman. I'm sorry to cut this meeting short, but I have some thing that I'd like to discuss with Kagome. It was very nice meeting you both.” Before she tuned away Suichi stopped her.

 

“May I ask where you are staying?”

 

That second presence was there again, but she couldn't place it and it bothered her as his eyes turned a more golden color. “I have my own home here and I do not have time for visitors. Now if you'll excuse me.”

 

He watched as she walked away. `To bad Kagome already said she was staying with her. I'll have to speak to Kagome.' He smirked as he watched the two women walk away.

 

”I can't believe after all this time she's here and this time I'll find out where she's staying. Maybe I can sneak into her bedroom and have the fun I've wanted to the last three hundred years.”

 

“Kurama, what was that? I've never seen Youko come out so strongly,” said Yusuke. “Although I have to admit it can see why he would.”

 

“That woman was a demon and someone that apparently Youko knows and has escaped him many times. According to him she is also very powerful, cunning and has the ability to breed many dangerous plants like our death tree.” He watched as Yusuke turned to also watch the path the women took and smiled. “Don't worry Yusuke we'll keep a close eye on them.” `A very close eye indeed,' he smiled.
