Someone e-mailed me suggesting a Yusuke/Kagome/Kurama What do you all think?

Chapter 3:The Evil Blossom

Kagome looked up into Kurama’s eyes and said softly, “Train...I’m going to train and then i’m going to get my revenge.” She finally stated with such conviction and passion that the others couldn’t help but believe that she would get her revenge.

“From what you’ve told me about this Naraku he sound’s like a hard and tough opponent, will you bring any help with you Kagome-sama?” Kurama asked curious as to her answer.

“I will not endanger anyone else in this stupid quest. I refuse to lose who I have left to that monster. And please Kurama-san, drop the suffix it makes me feel old.” Kagome replied back.

Kurama nodded seemingly satisfied with her answer. Or at least for the moment. Kagome’s head whipped up and she smacked her forehead and was out the door before anyone could stop her. She was back within 30 seconds having retrieved Kirara from her spot outside. Kirara had jumped into the portal while Sesshoumaru did transporting her here as well. She brought the fire cat back into the house and settled down next to Yusuke and Sesshoumaru and began to stroke Kirara’s fur.

“There is no way in hell that I’m letting you fight that bastard alone Kagome.” Yusuke stated leaving no room for argument.

“Yusuke...Don’t do this, you have a life here. Don’t give it all up just to help me.” Kagome pleaded with her friend.

“I’m Going. And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.” Yusuke said, “You are not going to stop me from protecting you Kagome...You’ve been hurt enough.”

“Don’t be stupid, you have a wonderful life with friends that care for you and you have a chance to live...” Kagome said.

“And you don’t.” Kagome exchanged uneasy glances with Sesshoumaru.

“It is unlikely that even with Sesshoumaru’s armies and Sesshoumaru and I that we will come out alive. It is never wise to go into a battle arrogant, but if we train hard enough and he gives us enough time to recover from our wounds, emotional and mental then we may stand a chance of surviving. But I’m not expecting to come out of this battle alive.” Kagome explained, “He has many minions that are extremely strong not to mention a seemingly endless supply of lower class youkai willing to serve him.”

“I’m definitely not letting you go by yourself.” Yusuke stated.

“I’ll be with Sesshoumaru and his army. Some of our old allies may even join up with us if we ask for assistance...Please Yusuke...I don’t want you to be hurt.” Her eyes pleading with her friend to understand her silent meaning. I don’t want to loose you to Yusuke...I couldn’t take it...

Though Yusuke couldn’t see the hidden meaning in Kagome’s words Kurama and Hiei certainly did as well as Sesshoumaru. Kurama looked over at the beautiful Inu-youkai heir of the western lands. He couldn’t just let her go into a battle. She was so selfless and pure...Even Hiei was beginning to feel the affects of being in her presence and it’s only been a short time. Not even a day.

“We will discuss this matter later.” Sesshoumaru stated much to the annoyance of one certain toushin. He signed grumbling under his breath some very unsavory things about the Demon Lord.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed in distaste. He was just about to strike the insolent toushin when Kagome gently grabbed his fist from midair and placed herself in front of Sesshoumaru looking up at the taller demon with pleading eyes.

‘Please Sesshoumaru...he didn’t mean any offense he does not understand what an insult it was to say such things...Please don’t hurt him..’

‘Very well Kagome.’

‘Thank you.’ Kagome replied giving him a soft affectionate smile. He gave the barest of nods and bent to lay a kiss on the crescent marking her forehead.

“Come Kagome, Let us train.” Was all the proud Taiyoukai said before leaving the house. Kagome gave a bow to everyone in the room and followed the demon lord out to the back of the shrine. The four boys and the two children followed shortly after with Kirara purring contentedly in Shippo’s arms. When they got there Kagome and Sesshoumaru had already started sparing in a small clearing that cut off from the pathway through the forest.

They stood there mouths agape at the two magnificent forms blurring out and in occasionally landing hit’s on the other persons being. Kagome was now even faster then before a little faster then Sesshoumaru considering she was smaller, and lithe. Kagome darted into view standing deathly still parallel to Sesshoumaru who had just appeared. The boys and children with Kirara had a clear view standing on the right of Kagome and the left of Sesshoumaru but out of the way. They suddenly both charged at each other. Kagome slid under him and turned in a 180 degree angle so she was now where Sesshoumaru used to stand and he had leapt over Kagome and landed turning at the same angle Kagome had so he landed facing her.

Kagome drew two sai’s from the back of her hakama’s. The Sai’s were two 19 1/2 inch octagon sided blades with a carefully sharpened point (Like the weapon Elektra uses in Daredevil and Elektra). She twirled each Sai at the same time and got into a defensive position as Sesshoumaru drew his sword Tenseiga since Toukijin is not a sword you spar with. As he brought the sword downwards in a swift 45 degree angle she turned slightly to her left and held the Sai’s up in an x and blocked the attack quickly striking out her own attack when he pulled back. The speed in which both Sesshoumaru and Kagome switched stances from defensive to offensive was startling to see.

The fight continued until both of Kagome’s Sai’s were knocked out of her hands and embedded into a nearby tree and Sesshoumaru’s sword lay off to the side stuck deep into the ground. They circled each other hands curled into slight fists, Kagome suddenly darted in landing a punch to Sesshoumaru’s abdomen sending him into a tree, startled. Kagome stared at Sesshoumaru shocked then at her fist. Her look of shock was quite genuine as she looked at her glowing fist. It was glowing white, she started to panic.

“Put it out, Put it out!!! Sesshoumaru!!!” Kagome called quite hysterical at the moment she had no idea what was going on and was very...scared. It started to change colors from white to an emerald green tearing a startled ‘EEP’ from Kagome’s throat. Just as Sesshoumaru was going to help her the vines from the tree wrapped around him and branches formed a cage around him. Kagome ran to the vines and branches trapping her friend and attempted to beat at it. A flower blossom on one of the vines opened and laughed at her as she attempted to free her friend her hands no longer glowing. Well at least that’s what Kagome’s interpretation of what the plant was doing.

Kagome pulled away and stared at the flower bud that was ‘laughing’ at her. Her right eye twitched as a vein pulsed on her forehead. She took a deep breath and her rant began, “ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME YOU, YOU, I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME? YOU FIND THIS SO AMUSING MISTER!!! I’LL SHOW YOU AMUSING!!!” Kagome said physically lashing out at the bud shaking and choking it or at least attempting to. She then proceeded to pummel it with her glowing fists. They were at present a light blue signaling use of her spirit energy. The plant ‘squealed’ and left leaving the bud to cower in fear. Kagome attempted to pick it up when it bit her.

Kagome’s eye twitched again. “YOU BIT ME YOU STUPID SONOFA. YEOW!!! YOU BIT ME AGAIN!! YOU MUST DIE!!!! YOU EVIL EVIL PLANT!” Kagome screamed at it her claws flexing dangerously as her eyes flashed a deep red. “NO ONE BITE’S THIS KAGOME!! ESPECIALLY NOT SOME STUPID ARROGANT PLANT THAT THINKS IT CAN LAUGH AND BITE ME! OH YOUR GOING TO GET IT NOW MISTER!”

Kagome gave the bud that she dubbed as the ‘troublemaker’ of the bunch a very evil glare that would have sent Naraku screaming and running. She growled at the blossoming bud picked it up after having calmed herself down from her rant and abuse of the plant and she dropped it on the ground and stepped on it. Now I don’t mean just stepped on it she ground her heel into the ground on the little bud, stomping on it and giving it an extra stomp just for good measure. When she was sure the evil bud was dead and not laughing at her anymore she went over to Sesshoumaru again to attempt to free him ignoring the people on the other side of the clearing trying desperately to keep from laughing. They did not want to have Kagome angry at them.

“Sesshoumaru, Please shut down your hearing senses.”

Sesshoumaru did what Kagome told him to do knowing what was about to happen. Kagome growled at the stupid and now cowering vines and branches keeping her from Sesshoumaru. “IF YOU DON’T GET OUT OF MY WAY I’M GOING TO TORTURE YOU AND KILL YOU LIKE THAT EVIL LITTLE BUD, I’LL RIP YOU APART PIECE BY PIECE, I’LL DICE YOU INTO TINY PIECES AND FEED YOU TO MY CAT!! HE’LL EAT ANYTHING I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO LIVE I SUGGEST YOU GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!!” She screamed at the ‘things’. They immediately moved away from the panting, red faced extremely angry demoness who looked ready to pounce on the plants any moment. “They interrupted our training.” Kagome mumbled tucking her head under Sesshoumaru’s chin nuzzling against his chest, since she could not reach under his chin. Kagome was cross.

She glared at the Reikai Tantei, Rin, Shippo, and Kirara daring them to say anything or laugh. Kuwabara cracked first, followed shortly by Yusuke, Shippo and Rin. Kagome’s eyebrow twitched and the chase was on.
