Chapter 2: The Forbidden Jewels

 

~*~Spirit World~*~

 

The radars were going haywire. Koenma quickly rushed to the computer and checked the power readings. He recognized this power… a smirk spread across his face.

 

“They're finally back.”

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“Who's there?” Kagome asked as she searched for the owner of the voice. A form materialized in front of her and Kagome gasped. It was the ancient Midoriko!

 

“Midoriko? What are you doing here? What am I doing here?” She questioned, beyond confused.

 

“Calm down Kagome, everything will be explained.” She smiles.

 

“Did you bring me here?” The great miko nodded and Kagome's eyes filled with more confusion.

 

“Let me explain. Hundreds of years ago, when I was still living, I was the protector of the jewel. It may not have been created yet, but my very soul was the jewel. Three others and myself fought against the evil forces that wanted to gain its powers. We were known as The Forbidden Jewels.” She explained and Kagome nodded for her to go on.

 

“When my fellow warriors and I pasted away and the jewel took a physical form, it took our powers with it. Our powers were scattered in different directions around the land. Each of our powers was held inside a broach. Kikyou, as you know, was the next guardian of the jewel. My power was pasted down to her as leader. She inherited my broach and became Demon Crystal. The other three girls eventually found Crystal and they worked together to keep the jewel as well as the world safe. You knew of how Kikyou died and was burned with the jewel, so the broaches disappeared as well, stripping the girls of their powers.” The miko took a breath and smiled.

 

“That is where you come in Kagome. You are now the guardian of the Jewel of Four Souls. You are now Demon Crystal.”

 

Kagome's eyes widened. “So… am I a demon?”

 

Midoriko laughed slightly. “Well in a way yes. In the box Genkai gave you is your broach. To transform into Demon Crystal, you must say `Forbidden Crystal Power'.” She explained.

 

“That's pretty cool.” Kagome smiled. “So how do I find the others?”

 

Midoriko smiled and brought her fingers to her lips. With a loud whistle, three Neko demons came running toward them. One in particular leapt at Kagome and began licking her face. It had a beautiful silver coat with white rings around each of its three tails. It had amazing crystal clear blue eyes. The other two mewed and purred as they nuzzled Kagome's ankles. There was one with a black coat with red rings around its tails and bright ruby red eyes and the other with a purplish coat, with lavender colored rings around its tails and incredible sapphire eyes. Around each of the Neko's necks was a necklace. Hanging from each necklace was a broach.

 

“The white neko is yours, he is your companion. You may name him as you please. The other two are the companions of two of the other Forbidden Jewels. The other three girls are Demon Sapphire,” She announced as she pointed to the purple colored broach with a Sapphire embedded in the center, “Demon Ruby,” she pointed to the red colored broach with a Ruby embedded in the center, “and Demon AquaMarine.”

 

Confused, Kagome turned to Midoriko. “But there are only two nekos and two broaches. Where are the other one?”

 

Midoriko smiles and hands Kagome a blue colored broach with a Aqua jewel embedded in its center. “Demon AquaMarine already has her neko companion. Now all she needs is her broach. Her neko is under a concealing spell though; its true colors will appear when Demon Aqua is revealed.” The miko explained

 

“So why now? Why are we being revealed now?” Kagome asks as she pets her neko.

 

“Because a great evil is coming, and The Forbidden Jewels and Spirit Detectives are the only ones that can help. Now you must go, go find your sister Jewels.” She smiles one last time before sending Kagome back to reality. She opens her eyes to see the shrine. Looking up, she sees the leaves of the Goshiboku and smiles. The nekos nuzzle her hands and she stares down at the broach in the box. It was a beautiful silver and white color with a crystal embedded in the center, just like the others. She lifted it out of the box and clipped it in the center of her bow on her school uniform.

 

Standing and smiling down at the nekos, she makes her way into the house. She smells breakfast and looks at the time. It was still really early. Shrugging her shoulders, she steps into the kitchen and her mother pulls her into a hug.

 

“Your back soon, do you plan on going to school today dear?” her mother asks as she returns to the pancakes.

 

“Sure, why not.”

 

“Oh, I almost forgot. Kagome, you've been transferred to a different school because of your absents.”

 

“WHAT?!”

 

“Calm down dear, I'll take you to your new school today ok?” she smiled as she placed a plate of pancakes in front of her daughter. She noticed her broach and gasped.

 

“Kagome that is a beautiful broach! Where did you get it?”

 

“Uhhhh….Grandma gave it to me.” She answered. It wasn't a complete lie.

 

“How nice, well hurry and finish your breakfast. You don't want to be late to school.”

 

Kagome quickly finished her breakfast and gathered her things. She got in the car with her mom and they drove to the miko's new school. The school looked bigger than her other school and she sighed. She was going to get lost, she knew it. Kissing her mother goodbye, she got out of the car and she drove away. Taking a deep breath, she entered the school grounds. Boys looked her way, some whistling and yelling. The girls glared at her and whispered to their friends. Kagome rolled her eyes and made her way into the building.

 

Once inside she groaned in irritation. The place looked like one big maze! Grumbling to herself, she followed signs to the main office and stepped inside. The lady at the desk smiled.

 

“You must be Kagome, the new student?” Kagome nodded and the woman handed the miko her time card. She thanked her and exited the same way she came. Glancing at the sheet, she tried to memorize her schedule. First hour was English, second was honors science, third history, fourth gym, fifth lunch, sixth math, and seventh journalism. Looking at the room numbers then at the numbers on the doors near her, she huffed. She had no idea where she was. Dragging her feet, she went randomly up the stairs. Once on the second floor, she saw more stairs as the bell rang. Giving up on being to class on time, she went up the stairs to find herself on the roof. Sighing, she walked up to the gate and looked out at the city.

 

“What are you doing here?” A voice startled Kagome and she jumped. Whipping around, she saw the boy with black hair she saw at grandma Genkai's.

 

“I know you; you were at grandmas last night.” She said slowly.

 

“So you're the old hag's granddaughter huh? Hmph woulda never thought.” He shrugged.

 

“I'm Kagome, and you are?”

 

“Yusuke, so you new to the school? I've never seen you around.” He asked looked deep into her eyes, as if he was looking for something.

 

“Yea, I just got transferred.” She explained

 

“Well then what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?” he glared at her.

 

“I could ask you the same question.” She shot back and he smirked.

 

“Can't find your way around huh? Come on.” He began walking toward the door.

 

“Where are we going?” she asked as she began to follow.

 

He rolled his eyes. “I'm going to show you around. Let me see your time card.”

 

Kagome handed him the card and he looked it over. He was mumbling to himself about her having four classes with a Kurama person, two class with some Kuwabara, and three with him and Keiko. He turned a smile to her and motioned for her to follow. Kagome liked Yusuke already. He was funny and easy to get along with. He showed her where all of her classes where and where the lunch room was. By the time they were finished, the bell rang, signaling the end of first hour.

 

“Well you have second hour with Kurama, so go on.”

 

“But who is Kurama?” she asked as he walked away to his own class.

 

“He's the red head with girls hanging all over him, you can't miss him.” He yelled before disappearing down the hall. Rolling her eyes with a smile, she made her way to science class. When she entered the class the teacher smiled.

 

“You must be the new student…” he looked at a paper on his desk before continuing, “Miss Higurashi? Welcome to honors science class. You may have a seat wherever you like.” He smiled. She thanked him and turn to look at the class. There was a group of girls surrounding a boy and Kagome guessed behind them was Kurama. The bell rang and students rushed in and took their seats. The red head's gaze traveled to her and she gasped. That was the demon from last night. Seeing as there was only one seat left, in front of Kurama, she made her way down the aisle and took her seat.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kurama sighed to himself.

 

-Why do they have to make a scene and crowd me like this?-

 

*I'm not sure but get them away, they're not worthy.* Youko growled in disgust.

 

Kurama chuckled at his other half. -Its harder than it looks Youko, they never give up.-

 

The bell rang and the girls rushed to their seats. Kurama sighed in relief and looked to the front of the classroom. His eyes widened.

 

*Red!! That's that girl!*

 

It was the girl that was at Genkai's the other night. What was she doing here? She glanced in his direction and began walking toward him. His heart pounded in his chest as she came closer and Youko yelled to let him out. He frowned to himself when she merely sat in the empty seat in front of him.

 

*Wow Red, that has to be the first girl to not drool all over you*

 

-And she has to be the first that I wish was-

 

He stared at the back of her head, completely ignoring the teacher's lecture. Her scent was intoxicating; spring rain. She turned suddenly and he smiled.

 

“You're Kurama right?”

 

Confusion filled his expression and she smiled. “Ok good, Yusuke said you have the next three classes with me, so I won't be completely alone. I'm Kagome by the way.”

 

He smiled warmly at her, making her blush slightly. “It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'll be happy to keep you company.”

 

Kagome thanked him briefly before turning back around. She sighed, a small smile on her face. He had the most beautiful green eyes. She shook her head to rid herself of those thoughts and turned her attention to the teacher.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

The bell rang and Kagome gathered her books. She stood and turned a smile to Kurama, who smiled back and led the way to their next class.

 

“So what were you doing at Genkai's last night?” Kagome asked, breaking the silence.

 

Kurama searched his mind for an explanation.

 

*Why not tell her the truth?*

 

-Yea Youko, I'm going to tell her we were there because she is training us for preparation for an upcoming battle against demons that want to take over the human world.-

 

*Ok, I get your point*

 

“Genkai is a close friend of ours, we were just stopping by for a visit.” He answered.

 

“That's nice, grandma doesn't have many friends. She is so secluded in the forest, no one ever finds her and she stays in the temple all the time.” Kagome sighed.

 

“So you are her granddaughter?”

 

“Yes, I needed to talk to her last night and she wanted to give me this broach. That's why I stopped by.” Kagome explained, not completely lying.

 

Kurama glanced at the broach, “It is quite lovely.”

 

“Thank you.” She grinned as they reached class. They walked in and Yusuke appeared in front of Kagome. She `eeped' in surprise and stepped back only to bump into Kurama. Her cheeks reddened and she apologized quietly.

 

*Red, do you see her face?! She totally wants us!*

 

-Stop imagining things Youko- Kurama growled to his counterpart

 

“Yo! Glad you made it here alive, those halls can be deadly” Yusuke winked at Kagome and she giggled.

 

The bell rang and Yusuke pulled Kagome over to where he and Kurama sat. The only seat open was one behind Yusuke and next to Kurama. She plopped down in her seat as class began. Fifteen minutes into class, Yusuke was already asleep and Kagome was staring out the window. She didn't need to listen; it was history for heaven sake! She was history!

 

“Miss Kagome! Since you seem to think you can daydream and not pay attention in class, why don't you tell the class about the legend of the Sacred Jewel?” The teacher announced, drawing all attention to her. Even Yusuke woke up to smirk at her. She glanced at Kurama and he smiled encouragingly.

 

“The Sacred Jewel, also known as The Jewel of Four Souls, was created by the ancient miko Midoriko in her battle against demons. In order to defeat the demons that were about to take her life, she forced her very soul out of her body, imprisoning the demons within her soul that formed into the jewel. The jewel later fell into the protection of a miko by the name of Kikyou. She fell in love with a hanyou named Inuyasha and was going to use the jewel to turn him human. An evil hanyou named Naraku forced them to believe they betrayed eachother, and Kikyou pinned Inuyasha to the god tree to sleep for eternity before she died. The jewel was then burned with her body, never to be seen again. Fifty years later, a mysterious girl appears with the jewel. She releases Inuyasha from his sleeping spell and accidentally shatters the jewel. From there, the girl, Inuyasha, a demon slayer and her neko, a Buddhist Monk, and a kitsune kit travel together to gather the pieces of the jewel to restore it to its original form.” As she finishes, she takes a deep breath and smiles.

 

Glancing around the room, she's surprised to see shocked looks on everyone's faces, even the teacher's. She shrugs her shoulders and class resumes. Yusuke turns around to stare at her oddly.

 

“What?!” she glares at him.

 

“How did you know so much about the legend? Not even the teacher knew the legend in that great of detail.” He glared.

 

“Oh, my grandpa used to always tell me stories about the legend and the love story of Kikyou and Inuyasha.” She grinned, hoping he would buy the excuse. He shrugged and turned back around and she breathed a sigh of relief. Kurama stared at her in curiosity.

 

*She is hiding something.*

 

-You just realized that?-

 

Youko pouts in his mind and he rolls his eyes.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Class finally came to an end and Kagome jumps out of her seat. She had her favorite subject next! GYM!!!

 

She grabbed her books, linked arms with the boys and dashed off to the gym. Once there, the guys went to their locker room and Kagome to hers. She got her locker and uniform from the teacher and put her books inside.

 

“You must be Kagome”

 

Kagome turned to see a pretty girl with shoulder length brown hair smiling at her.

 

“And you must be Keiko.”

 

The girls smile widened and she nodded. “Yup, welcome to gym class.”

 

“Thanks, so how do you know Yusuke?”

 

“He's my boyfriend; I've known him since elementary school. You?” She asked as they got dressed for class.

 

“I met him at Genkai's, she's my grandma.” She explained.

 

“I didn't know she had a granddaughter, well come on, lets get to the gym.”

 

The two girls linked arms with a smile and walked into the gym. Once they entered, Keiko groaned. Kagome looked at her and she pointed to the middle of the gym. Kagome smirked. In the center of the gym, targets where set up against the wall.

 

“We're doing archery.” Keiko sighed.

 

“What's so bad about that? I love archery.” Kagome asks as they make their way over to the guys.

 

“Yea, I used to too, but the teachers totally put you down. The teachers are better then everyone so they make it so not fun.” Kagome frowned. She would have to teach those teachers a lesson.

 

“Hey, I see you met Kags.” Yusuke said as he hugged his girlfriend.

 

“Alright, everyone in their assigned seats!” the teacher yelled and everyone scrambled. Kurama told her they were seated in alphabetical order and she quickly found her seat.

 

“Ok, today we start archery, does anyone know anything about this sport? I doubt it so let's move on.” She stopped when Kagome raised her hand.

 

“What is it Miss Higurashi?!”

 

“I can shoot with a bow and arrow.” She smirked.

 

“Oh really? I doubt you are even up to my skill level.” The teacher snorted.

 

Kagome glared at the teacher and Yusuke was just about to tell her to back down when she stood.

 

“I'm quite good actually.” She said.

 

“Fine, if you wish to be humiliated in front of the entire class, let us do a small competition. Five arrows, the one to make the most bulls eyes wins.” She explained the rules and stepped up the orange tape. She grabbed a bow and quiver of five arrows. Kagome stepped up to the line and grabbed her bow and a quiver of ten arrows and turned around. She began walking farther from the target and the teacher yelled.

 

“Where are you going? You chicken out?”

 

“Of course not, that line is just not enough of a challenge for me.” She smirked. She had stopped by where Keiko, Yusuke, and Kurama had gathered…half way across the gym.

 

“Kagome, are you sure you know what you're doing?” Keiko asked nervously.

 

Kagome smirked. “Of course I do, I told you already, I love archery.”

 

Yusuke rolled his eyes and muttered something about over confident wenches that didn't know what they were putting themselves into.

 

“Are you ready to be humiliated?!” The teacher called.

 

“We'll see who is humiliated.”

 

“Whatever, BEGIN!”

 

Kagome skillfully notched an arrow and aimed at her target. She let it fly and it hit perfectly in the center. Yusuke's jaw dropped and Keiko cheered. Kurama stared wide eyes at the target as Kagome fired another arrow and split her first in half right down the middle. Kagome finished all ten of her arrows before the teacher was even on her fifth. Everyone was staring at Kagome's target in shock. She had gotten all ten arrows in the bulls eye! Keiko cheered and hugged Kagome giggling about showing that obnoxious teacher who was boss.

 

Once class was over Kurama, Keiko, and Yusuke walked with Kagome to lunch.

 

“How did you do that Kagome?”

 

“That was nothing! I told you Keiko! I just love archery.” She grinned.

 

They ate lunch and chatted until the bell rang. Kagome met Kuwabara in her next class, and found he was also one of the boys she saw at Genkai's. The rest of school went by quickly and the last period bell finally rang. Kagome met up with everyone outside the school. Suddenly the girl with blue hair that she also saw at Genkai's appeared floating on an oar. Kagome stared at the girl in confusion.

 

“Hello boys, Koenma-”

 

“Are you floating on an oar?” Kagome asked as she stared at Botan. Everyone's eyes widened. How could she see Botan? Only demons and being with spiritual powers could see her.

 

“You can see me?” the ferry girl asked warily.

 

“Yes, how could I not?” Kagome asked confused.

 

“Because--”

 

Yusuke quickly slapped a hand over her mouth and grinned “Botan doesn't know what she's talking about. She thinks she is invisible sometimes! Well we got to go, Later Kagome!” Yusuke then dashed off with Kurama and Kuwabara trailing behind him. Kagome turned to Keiko and she merrily shrugged her shoulders.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“How do you think Kagome saw Botan?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Maybe she has a little spiritual power in her blood, I mean she is the granddaughter of Genkai, she has to have something right?” Yusuke reasoned.

 

“Ok well Koenma needs you; he has a new assignment for you four.” Botan explained. She made a portal and they stepped through to see Hiei was already there waiting.

 

“Yo toddler, so you have a new assignment for us?”

 

Surprisingly, the demigod completely ignores the insult and turns to the SD's.

 

“Yes. This is actually a very important assignment because they will help you fight the demons trying to cross the barrier to the human world.”

 

“Who are they?” Kuwabara asks.

 

“They are The Forbidden Jewels.”
