'Finally', Kagome thought to herself with relief as she unpacked the last of the boxes into the oak drawers. She stood up and observed the room with thoughtful eye's as she contemplated the idea of redecorating the slighty run down house she purchased with the help of her mother. IT had been three month's since her permanent return from the Feudal era and she was slowly starting to rebuild her life with the help of her loved ones. However she needed to move out of the shrine, the memories were still too raw and seemed to haunt her every time her eyes ventured towards the well house, she needed this, for her family, and her sanity as she knew that if she didn't at least attempt to move on with her life she'd never be able to leave. So now, here she was standing amidst now empty cardboard boxes wondering on whether or not the walls should be painted a sky blue as she reminised about sitting on the lush grass of feudal Japan with an animated Shippo whilst gazing at skies that very same colour or if she should simply leave them white and try not to torment herself.


A barely audible sigh left her lips as her mind focused on the question's she'd been forcefully trying to forget yet againt rose to the forefront of her mind, 'Just where are all the demon's anyways?'. Kagome had pondered this question for a long time and the thought of all the demon's being wiped out left her with painful pangs in her chest as she thought of her little fox kit or best friend dead, with lifeless eyes and the peacefull- 'STOP!!'


Breathing harshly she pressed her back against the cool wall behind her and reminded herself it did no good to tihnk such things, she knew that for one Inuyasha was simply to stubborn to die, and she could say the same for Shippou and Sesshomaru, however the thought of a peaceful existence without a squaking Jaken did sound appealing...

Silently she got up and stripped herself of the soiled clothing before throwing them in a hamper to be washed whenever the notion appealed to Kagome, after all , this was HER house and she could be as lazy as she wanted. Hell, she could decide to never wash again and there was shit all anyone could do about it. The ghost of a smirk passed her lip's as she thought about it, 'As if my mother would ever let me even try it, it took her that long to leave in the first place i'm surprised she didn't move in with me'. She smiled indulgently at the thought, her mother would never fully realise that Kagome's job with the Shikon would never be over, She now was the Shikon until the day she died, 'As if I could...'


She climbed upon the bed and settled down under her sheets willing herself to sleep, thankfully since her return from the other side of the well Kagome, surprisingly, was able to sleep quite well at night with only nightmares plauging her dreams infrequently when something really reminded her of the Feudal era , whether the windchime from outside her new neighbour's window that reminded her of the staff her precious houshi friend carried with him that jingled constantly making the mood seem lighter, that was until a certain Hanyou threatened to stuff said staff up a certain perverted monk's ass if the jingling didn't cease every now and again. Kagome still giggled when she thought of the sudden paleness of Miroku's face when the threat was made and the hand that grabbed the charm's at the end of his staff almost immeadiatly after the threat left Inuyasha's thin lips. And with a ghost of a smile on her face Kagome was lulled into the land of dream's to dream about her beloved friends.

Koenma sat peering over his desk at the other inhabitants of his office with an unsuppressable grin gracing his features. The Rekai Tantei before him cast him look's from curiousity and confusion to downright wariness as they wondered what had the vertically challenged leader grinning like a Chesire cat.

'I'm sick of the smug look already Koenma what the hell do you want from us now?' was the thought that floated accross the mind of the impatient leader of the rag-tag group.
'' Koenma? what the hell do you want now?'' Yuskue questioned as he thought about how it had been month's since he had had a mission and whilst he loved his wife he was certainly itching for a new adventure to capture his interest.

Thankfully Keiko had long ago accepted the fact that Yuskue needed his job just like he needed her and she understood why, whilst Yuskue loved her he was just to big of a personality to be tied down in a regular job and all the dullsituation's that came with it. His need to live life on the fast lane was a part of him that whilst taking some getting used to she learned to love him for and after having married and mated to the hanyou she realised his adventurous side was something she would never change, in the long life that lay ahead for both of them with the virtual immortality that they both now had thanks to the strong blood running through Yuskue and now his mated body aswell.

Yuskue was startled out of his thought's on Keiko and married life in general when the other spirit detective's also voiced their questions about this new mission as they tried to drag the detail's out of the tiny ruler. 'Honestly it's like pulling teeth trying to get the detail's out of this midget!' "Koenma, so help me god, you had better start talking soon or that diaper on your ass will be taking up residence within it!".

The tiny ruler gulped at the threat, realising that Yuskue was serious and knowing that if he didn't get explaining soon the threat may very well become reality as he didn't see any of the other detective's voice their concern for him. Hell, he was certian Hiei at least would be giving him tip's on torture mathods, if not actively helping the man put the plan into action.Shaking his head from the disturbing thought's he heard a snort of derision from the corner in which the hybrid was leaning against the wall. The gleam in Hiei's eyes told him the youkai had heard his thought's and that he would indeed participate. Moving swiftly on...

''Yuskue, I apologise for keeping you waiting!'' he spluttered out as quickly as possible,''The mission is simple, there is a woman I would like to obtain to join the ranks of the Spirit Detective's, she is an extremly powerful miko who would be a valuable asset for us all. She is also in essence the Shikon no Tama, as she was its guardian before it decided that it needed a body to protect and found her worthy of it's protection and also it's expendable power source. She will need to be told about what we do here and explain what has happened in her absence, expain the role of the Spirit detective and offer her the job, inform hr she may of course request to see me before taking up such a role but do not try to pressure her into a decision, I want her to work for me of her own free will, and I am also certain that even as Raizen's heir, she could purify you as soon as look at you if she feel's threatened, that is all I have to explain and good luck on this mission. Inform me whe you get in contact with her and i was regular updates, you will find the information necessary in the file's in front of you. Good day detectives.''


Upon Koenma's uttering's of the Shikon no Tama, the two demon's present heads' snapped up simultanously as they absored this information, of course they have both heard of the Shikon, and the tale that followed the cursed Jewel. Could this really be the miko of ledgend?

" What is the miko's name?'', questioned Kurama, his curiousity peaked?

''Higurashi Kagome."
