Chapter 10

 

Suichi chuckled at the bluntness of the young miko and also praised her at knowing who he really was. It wasn't often that he could talk to a woman and not have her either running in fear or trying to seduce him. “I see you have heard of me.”

 

She just looked at him with a mischievous grin and giggled. “You could say that. I've listened to Selena curse, rant and scream over the arrogant bastard that refused to leave her be for over 300 years. Now here you are once again back from the dead to once more drive her insane.”

 

“I want to win her Kagome. Now that I know where she is she can't hide from me anymore.”

 

“And what does Suichi have to say about it? Surely he has a say in this as well.”

 

“Although he wishes to know her a little better he is in complete agreement.”

 

“If you hurt my sister in anyway Youko I will personally purify your as straight to hell and I'll make sure you can't come back this time.”

 

“You have my work Kagome no harm will come to Selena and please my friends call me Kurama. Now I'd like to know how it is that you've listened to her for over 300 years when you're human.”

 

She smiled at him proudly, “my mate is an inuhanyou.”

 

“Hanyou, he must be very strong to have survived all this time.”

 

“He is very strong and protective of those he loves.”

 

“Kagome, I promised Selena that we would see her tonight for dinner. Is there away you can make sure she is there?”

 

“We are training nightly Kurama so she will be there.”

 

“Why are you training so hard? I understand the desire to be stronger, but it seems there is more to it than that.”

 

“I'm sorry Kurama, but that is my problem.”

 

“I understand, but if there is anything I can do please let me know.”

 

“Thank you.” She was about to ask him a few other questions, but a familiar voice could be heard calling out Kurama's name. A minute later a young woman appeared that Kagome recognized very well as the Lady of Death, Botan.

 

“Hello Kurama, Koenma needs to see you and the other boys.” Suddenly the new arrival a young woman with powder blue hair, pink eyes and a pink kimono turned to see there was already someone there with Kurama and her eyes instantly became wide. “Lady Kagome, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were here. Please accept my apologies,” she said while bowing deeply.

 

Kagome just smiled gently at her, “its no problem Botan I hope everything is well.” She saw the nervousness in her stance and knew that something was wrong. “What's going on Botan?”

 

“Hahaha well you see Lady Kagome uh,” she didn't get any further before she was interrupted.

 

“Open the portal Botan, now,” said Kagome. Botan quickly did as she was told and Kagome walked through. She walked into a plain office noticing that Kurama's friends were already there. `Should've known they were all spirit detectives,' she thought. After standing there for a moment waiting for Koenma to stop his grumbling she became impatient. The evil grin that spread across her lips did not go unnoticed by the others as they backed away slightly. They felt her aura and power flare uncontrollably startling everyone in the room only to hear Koenma's scream of surprise.

 

“Ahhhh, damn it Selena I really wish you wouldn't do that,” shouted Koenma picking himself up from the floor only to look up and see a pissed off immortal staring back at him. LLLLL Lady Kagome, what brings you here?”

 

Her eyes narrowed in anger, “don't you Lady Kagome me, what's going on Koenma?”

 

“Well you see Selena came here recently with questions.”

 

“And you thought you'd just stick your nose into my affairs.”

 

“Please Lady Kagome I just wanted to make sure that your safe.”

 

“I understand that Koenma, but I am fully capable of protecting myself and it's not like I can die. I prefer not to involve anyone else in this fight. You are well aware of this.”

 

“What do you mean you can't die,” asked Kuwabara.

 

She looked at the tall man almost forgetting they were there. “It's nothing you need to concern yourself with.”

 

He came to stand in front of her. “If you're in trouble then as a man I'm obligated to help. I can't let a woman fight it's against my code.”

 

Kagome's anger spiked at the thought of someone thinking she was weak, but before she could say anything another voice spoke for her. “If you wish to remain alive I suggest you shut up.” Everyone turned to see a beautiful vixen with long silver hair with dark blue streaks, dark blue eyes and elegant looking for ears. “What going on Kagome? I could feel your anger back at the estate.”

 

Kagome looked to her sister. “It seems that Koenma has decided to interfere and was more than likely about to post his spirit detectives outside our door.”

 

Selena turned to face the toddler. “I warned you not to involve anyone in this and to stay out of our way Koenma.”

 

Yusuke never having much patience finally lost control. “Will someone explain what the hell is going on”?

 

Kagome sighed while sitting on the edge of Koenma's desk. “An old enemy of mine that was reincarnated is somehow regaining the memories of his past life and is now searching for me. I am unsure of what he remembers, but I have had visions of him coming for me and those I love.”

 

“Why is he coming for you though,” asked Yusuke.

 

“I'm known to many as the eternal guardian of the Shikon Jewel and 500 years ago I, with some friends, killed a demon named Naraku.” She went on to explain only the significant parts of her past leaving them all speechless. “Now he has begun looking for me again. I don't know how strong he is or how much he remembers but, I do know he is not aware that the jewel and I are one.”

 

Kurama watched the vixen stand near her sister not even looking at him. *”This is our chance to spend time with her red.”

 

“Yes Youko I was thinking the same thing. Excuse me, Koenma did you bring us here to help protect them?”

 

Everyone looked at Koenma as he shrunk under the women's glares. “Actually I was going to have you help them in there fight as well as protect them from harm.”

 

Kagome became furious with him. “You were going to invite them into my home without permission or giving them any idea about what was going on,” she growled. As her anger grew the rose emerged making itself known.

 

Where the hell did that thing come from Kagome?” yelled Yusuke.

 

Selena smirked at him playfully. “That Yusuke is one of my chameleon roses. It helps to protect those I give them to. So don't get to close because it shoots poisonous darts and expels a sleeping gas that knock out all, but the rose holder.”

 

Yusuke watched as the rose wrapped itself around Kagome's arm, but remained halfway melded into her skin. “Hey Kurama have you ever seen on of these things?”

 

He cringed when he heard Yusuke call his name and prayed that Selena didn't notice. “No, Yusuke I have never seen this type of rose before.” A low growl was heard coming from the vixen.

 

*”Well that answers the question if she noticed our name or not,” said Youko as he looked up to see furious blue eyes looking at him.

 

“Kurama as in Youko Kurama?” she was beyond pissed. “Why am I not surprised that you'd find a way to some back and make my life hell”?

 

Suichi's eyes were now molten gold as he smiled seductively. His form shifted to show the handsome silver kitsune in all his glory as he approached the furious vixen. “Now Selena you know I'd never leave you. Regardless I will always find a way back to you,” he said as he lovingly stroked her cheek.

 

“I've told you many times over the years Youko to leave me alone,” she said while slapping his hand away. “What is it with arrogant men who refuse to listen?”

 

Youko looked to see Koenma watching them. “Is what Kagome said correct? That you wish for us to protect them from harm?”

 

“No, absolutely not,” growled Selena.

 

“Yes, Kurama that is what I would like for you all to do. Naraku was very powerful and until we know how strong he is now he is a threat. We will also need to protect Lady Kagome's family as well.”

 

“I've already taken care of that Koenma,” said Kagome. “When the time comes they will be sent to Selena's home in Makai.”

 

“Are you sure, Lady Kagome, they won't be found there?”

 

Kagome chuckled softly, “if the King of Thieves over there couldn't fin it in over 300 years do you honestly think Naraku could. Besides she has plenty of sentries and barriers for protection.”

 

Yusuke burst into laughter, “you've been after this woman for over 300 years and couldn't even find her house. I thought you could find and steal anything.”

 

Youko growled, “I suggest you stop talking Yusuke.”

 

“Kurama if a girl doesn't want you even after that long you should leave them alone,” said Kuwabara.

 

“Well as fun as this has been I'm sure my mate is wondering where I am. So I'll be going home now. Koenma as much as I appreciate your concern I will not endanger anyone else's life. This is my fight. Now good night.” She opened a portal and stepped through with Selena following behind.

 

Once the portal closed Koenma looked at the spirit detectives. “I want them looked after regardless. Naraku was very dangerous before and if he regains all of his memories he could destroy everything.”

 

“Yeah, yeah toddler we'll keep an eye on em for you,” said Yusuke.

 

“What did she not tell us Koenma?” asked Hiei.

 

The demigod looked at the fire apparition with nervousness, “she created the barrier and is also the Guardian of Mortals.”

 

“Hn”

 

“You've got to be kidding me. How could she have that kind of power,” said Yusuke.

 

“She's more powerful than you will ever know Yusuke and Selena's nothing to dismiss either. Both could purify you with no problem and Selena is renowned for her specialty plants like the one you saw.” He smirked at Youko. “I'm sure that he could verify some of her plants, powers and her severe stubbornness. Unfortunately Kagome is even more powerful and just as hard headed.”

 

“Well either way Koenma we will stay close and make sure they are safe,” said Kurama who had returned to his normal form. “If you will excuse me now I have a previous engagement to keep.”

 

“You have a date, Kurama. With who?” asked Kuwabara.

 

He couldn't keep the smirk from his handsome face as he answered. “Selena of course.”
