Chp, 7 The Twins
“Gumer?” Kagome called out to the sleeping demon.
Said demon groaned and turned over.
“Gumer, wake up?”
“Mmmm…want to.” Gumer mumbled in his sleep.
“Hey! Wake up fur ball!” Kagome yelled angrily as she plucked the demon in the head with her finger.
“What's going on?” Gumer yelled in fright as he sprung up.
“Gumer? What are you doing?” Kagome asked with a sigh.
“YOU MEAN YOU WOKE ME UP TO ASK ME WHAT I'M DOING!” Gumer yelled angrily, but then he remembered that he was merely a small furry creature and she had all the power. “I mean…sleeping, baby.”
“In my underwear draw?”
“……yes? Where else am I'm suppose to sleep? You told me I couldn't sleep in your bed anymore.”
“That's because I woke up with you inside my shirt.”
“…I got cold.”
“Just…just get out.” She sighed as she picked him up by the tail and dropped him onto the floor.
“Hey, baby, what time is it?” Gumer asked mid yawn as he stretched, “Where you going? Why are you wet?”
“It's 8:00 in the morning and it's time for most normal people to get up, and I just got out the shower.” She told him as she filtered out the necessary clothing and holding the towel around herself tighter.
“I'm not stupid, we heard the water. Now what about breakfast we've been…wait, when did you get a tattoo.” The voice didn't belong to Gumer, and in her surprise her towel slipped. Luckily, she was facing away from the door.
“YUSUKE!” she screamed, “What the yell are you doing in my house?” Jumping into her closet, she glared angrily at him. Gumer had disappeared from view.
“I…I don't…remember.” He told her as he stared wide-eyed after her, but he shook himself out of his stupor. “Is that a tattoo of a spider on your back?”
“Get out!”
“Alright…when's breakfast going to be…?”
“Get the hell out!” she screamed again, this time throwing a shoe.
“Fine…” he yelled in return backing out the door, nut before he closed it all the way he stuck his head back in with a big grin on his face. “A towel looks nice on you.”
“Get out!”
“Alright, fine, I'll leave. But it was a compliment.” Then he slammed the door as a boot flew at him.
“I'm going to kill you!” she screamed through the closed door.
“Breakfast is going to be a while longer.” Yusuke told his companions as he rejoined them in Kagome's living room.
“Are you sure Kagome said it's alright to come?” Kurama asked as he flipped through a magazine.
“No, but its Kagome…so who cares.”
Just as he said this, Kuwabara sprung up off the couch and ran for the door.
“What the hell is your pro….OH MY GOD WHO GAVE YOU A SWORD!” the last part was directed at Kagome who, dressed in a robe and spitting fire, came down the hall with a katana in her head.
“Don't move.” She told them quietly.
“Open the door Kuwabara!” Yusuke yelled hopping over the couch just as Kagome swung the sword at him.
“I can't! It's stuck!” Kuwabara yelled frantically as he pulled and twisted on the doorknob.
“No on…leaves this apartment…uncasrated.” She whispered, as she slowly circled the couch with the eye of a predator.
This set Kurama into motion. Rushing to the door, he shoved Yusuke and Kuwabara out of the way and unlocked the door. Running out the door he closed it behind him.
“What the fuc…KURAMA OPEN THE DOOR!” Kuwabara yelled hysterically as he tugged on the door. “HERE SHE COMES!”
“Kagome! No! Bad Kagome! You kill me…I swear…I'll kill you back!” Yusuke just as Kagome leapt into the air, heading straight for them, but luckily, Kurama is a friend and opened the door again. Kuwabara was out first and just barely managed to close the door after Yusuke fell out.
“I bet that sword wasn't even re…”Yusuke began only to be silenced as said sword punctured the door.
“Maybe we should ask before coming over next time?” Kuwabara asked, staring as she pulled the sword back onto her side.
“What? And miss the fun of running for our lives?” Kurama added with a smile as the adrenaline left his body.
“Who the hell gave her a fucking sword anyway?” Yusuke muttered just before the door swung open.
“Give it to me.” Kagome seethed at him.
“Give you what?”
“The key you used to get into my house.” She sighed angrily.
At this, Yusuke's faced reddened and he looked away as he dug into his pocket. “Umm…it's not technically…a key.” He mumbled as he pulled out a switch blade.
“Get. The hell. Away. From my door.” She growled softly as she stepped back into her apartment, and for a brief second they all had a clear view of Hiei, sitting at a table, with a plate and fork in front of him. Seeing them look at him, he smiled smugly.
“Hey!” Yusuke began angrily, but the door had been slammed before he could say another word.

“You know I could have been starving, and you wouldn't feed me. What if I had died? Huh? Then how would that have made you feel? If I had died? You would be crying and upset. Oh! The great, strong, handsome, gorgeous hunk Yusuke is dead and it's all my fault! Boo hoo!” Yusuke had been ranting about this ever since he came home and found Kagome cleaning. He would have stopped a while ago, but his ranting made her laugh, so he kept at it.
“You three broke into my house while I was in the shower.” She laughed as she wiped a table down. “What else did you expect me to do?”
“Feed me damnit! And then I look, and you're feeding Hiei! What the hell was up with that?”
“I had calmed down by the time I found out he was there, so I fed them.”
“Them! Who the hell is them?”
“Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara. They came back and asked if they could have something to eat.”
“Those double crossers! I thought something was up when they ditched me.”
“Yeah, well they came back for breakfast.”
“Sons-of-bitches!” Yusuke growled angrily.
“Your lost…if you would have came back I would've fed you too.”
“Really?”
“Of course. I would never let the great, strong, handsome, gorgeous hunk Yusuke Urameshi go hungry if he asked me for food.” She crooned as she plopped herself down on the couch beside him and fawned over him.
“Uhh…HEY!” he yelled abruptly as he stood up so suddenly that she fell to the floor. “You…umm…you want to go get an ice cream.”
“Okay…sure.” She said slowly in confusion.
“Great! Let's go!” he said hurriedly as he left her on the floor and rushed out the door.
“Idjit.” She muttered as she pulled herself up.

The ice cream date that Yusuke had in mind didn't quite turn out the way he wanted. Who should pop up and ruin it? Every damn body. Botan, Kurama, Kuwabara, and just for the ice cream, Hiei.
“Sons-of-bitches!” he growled into his ice cream, not bothering to keep his voice low.
“We love you too, Yusuke.” Botan said with a smile, no one seemed to notice how she tensed or reacted whenever Kagome came near or spoke. Kagome, found it funny.
And she didn't care if they thought if she was crazy or not, she laughed aloud at her.
“What the hell are you laughing at?” Yusuke yelled.
“What? Can't I laugh without you ridiculing me?” she snapped back.
“There's nothing wrong with you laughing, infact, its great when you laugh, but not random laughing for no reason! You psycho!”
The others stepped to the side, waiting for the onslaught of insults they knew were about to spring back and forth, but just as Kagome opened her mouth, she began to ring.
“Hold my ice cream?” she asked of Yusuke.
“What? No!”
“Please?” she asked again, giving him the sweet eyes.
“Fine!” he barked as he rolled his eyes and took the ice cream from her hands.
“See, that's why I keep you around.” She said with a smile as she pulled her phone from her pocket. “Talk to me…oh hey Souta, could you hold on a sec?” Smiling sweetly at her friends, she covered the mouthpiece of the phone with her hand. “I have to take this.” she said in a sort of apology. Walking off, she put the phone back up to her ear, looking over her shoulder every now and then to see if they were listening.
“You are going to bust a vessel in your head if you strain anymore.” Hiei commented, looking at Yusuke, who, was trying his hardest to hear both sides of Kagome's conversation, but even with his demon hearing he couldn't get a snip of a word.
“You should ask her out before that Souta guy does.” Kuwabara offered with a serious face.
“What makes you think that?” Yusuke asked, turning to face him.
“Did you even know she had a cell phone? Souta did.”
“I did ask her out to an ice cream date, BUT, some people had to impose themselves on us.”
“You were walking ahead of her. It was not obvious that you two were on a date.” Kurama spoke up from his ice cream.
“Does she even know it's a date?” Botan asked.
“She has no clue.” Yusuke answered hopelessly.
“Hey guys.” Kagome beamed as she rejoined them. “Listen…something just came up…and I…have to go meet an old friend of mine. I'll catch you guys later.”
“What about your ice cream?” Yusuke called after her, with a hint of desperation.
“Umm…you can have it.” She answered briefly.
“I'll take that.” Hiei said as he swiped the ice cream from Yusuke's loose grip.
“Where you going?”
“I told you. I'm going to meet an old friend of mine.” She called as she began to jog.
“Hey!” Yusuke called again, getting angry. “I'm not through with you! Is it that Souta guy?”
“Shove it up your ass, Urameshi!” She called out last before disappearing around the corner.
“Smooth one, detective.” A deep, feminine voice spoke up from behind them.
Spinning on their heels, they came face to faces, with Lady no Tama.
Botan couldn't take it. It was hard enough already not to show respect when she was in disguise, but with her standing here out in the open, it was too much to bear. “My Lady.” Botan gushed as she fell to the ground and bowed.
“You go overboard with the bowing, Reaper.” Lady No Tama said with a shake of her head. “Get up.”
“Yes ma'am.” Botan apologized as she got to her feet, avoiding eye contact with her.
“What the hell are you doing here, Tama?” Yusuke growled angrily.
“Watching you make an ass of yourself.”
“Beg you pardon, my Lady, we are merely curious as to why you're following us.” Kurama intercepted smoothly.
“I'm curious, bored, and powerful…so I'll tag along for a while. See how great the spirit detectives are. First observation: the so-called leader, sucks when it comes to women.”
“I'm right here, you hag! I can hear you!”
“…and he's very disrespectful.” No Tama continued, ignoring Yusuke.
“Hey, Tama! No one wants you here, quit following us, and go back to the demon world where you belong.” Yusuke snapped angrily.
“Yusuke, please!” Botan warned with an anxious look.
“Don't fret yourself Botan,” she said with a smile pointed in Yusuke's direction, “Now detective, why do I belong in makai?”
“Because you're a…”
“Demon?” she finished for him. “Funny…then that would mean you belong there too. And from I remember from your file…”
“My Lady.” Botan cut in, followed by a bow as she made eye contact.
“Oh…he doesn't know.”
“Know what? Tell me damnit! Gahh! I don't even know you and I hate you!”
At this, both Lady No Tama and Botan exchanged looks, which ended in secret, knowing smiles.
“Why are you friends with him? He is unpleasant.” She directed towards the silent team members.
“I ask myself that question everyday.” Hiei spoke up.
“Guess it's one of those things I'll have to figure out about you…” she said aloud to herself.
“What's there to figure out…there's nothing to figure out; I'm just a likeable guy.” Yusuke blurted out, getting laughter from his friend, including Hiei and Kurama. “What the hell is so funny?”

They had been following her all day. Tailing her, stalking her. So when she found them in her apartment when she went home, she wasn't surprised.
They were tall and lanky. With beautiful features. Twins. A boy and girl. Red eyed and black haired with natural silver streaks. They wore purple and black modernized, kimono-like pant suits; the boy's masculine despite them being similar. The boy's hair was short where the girl's was in a long ponytail, and both their bangs covered their right eyes. They whole beings screamed perfection, and they had Gumer tied and gagged to a rope that hung from the ceiling fan, luckily for him, it was off. So she ignored him.
“My Lady No Tama.” The girl said with great respect as she placed a fist over her heart and fell to her knees.
“Mother.” The boy said in a similar fashion.
Kagome was shocked speechless, but she kept a stoic mask onto her face.
“State your business.” She told them emotionlessly.
“Mother…we've searched for you for five centuries…” The girl began, not looking up from her kneeling position.
“…Enma wasn't the only one greatly affected by your power when you died those years ago…” the boy continued.
“…we were but children when it happened…”
“…we had been attacked by ignorant humans…”
“…when your power saved us and killed them…”
“…you gifted us with comprehension and power…”
“…unlike Enma, we truly got the reason for your pain and suffering…”
“…we understood your hatred, anger, and vengeance…”
“…it filled us. We had to find you…”
“…to release you and fulfill your true desire.”
“Which would be?” Kagome tested them, not liking where this conversation was going.
“Destruction of the three realms and vengeance for your betrayal. Destroy the humans, spirits, and demons for wronging you. We will escort you to the center of all realms where your plan can be put into action.” They said in unison as they finally looked up at her with pure loyalty and adoration on their faces. “We will follow you to the end, Lady No Tama, mother.”
