Chapter 3: The Surprising Truth

 

“What are The Forbidden Jewels? Are these things powerful?” Yusuke asked, slightly confused.

 

“The Forbidden Jewels are not objects, they are warriors. Powerful warriors that where known of hundreds of years ago. They suddenly disappeared 500 years ago and never returned but from the recent power readings the computer was picking up several hours ago, it would seem they are back.” He explained.

 

“So what does this have to do with us?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Because in order to insure the human realms safety from this destructive demon in charge of these attacks, you will need their help. Their power can be quite useful.” Koenma mused, as if remembering something from the past.

 

“Have you met these warriors?” Kurama questioned, his curiosity overwhelming him.

 

“I met the last ones, but it seems they change every few years. Whenever the Forbidden Jewels die, their power is sealed away until the next rightful owner comes along. The new Forbidden Jewels are then born.”

 

“Ok, whatever, so what's the mission toddler?”

 

“Isn't it obvious? I want you to find the Forbidden Jewels and bring them here. We will desperately need their help in this upcoming battle.” The demigod muttered the last part to himself in worry.

 

“Now go! Botan!”

 

Said Grim Reaper created a portal for them and they disappeared from the office. Yusuke huffed in annoyance.

 

“He wants us to find some guys with a gay fighting title. Why do I have to feeling this is going to be a near impossible mission?” Yusuke whined.

 

“Well look at the bright side, we will have new powerful allies.” Kurama smiled, trying to lighten the mood.

 

“Yea, I guess. Ah man! And Keiko is going to kill me for just ditching her like that!” Yusuke wailed

 

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

 

Kagome sighed as she hauled her bag over the well. Checking to make sure all the nekos she had left home while she went to school were there, she smiled at them as they leapt onto her shoulders. Now that she had everything, the miko dropped down into the well to be engulfed by the familiar blue light. Once she reached the other side, she was just about to pick up her oversized backpack and push it out of the well when Hari, her silver neko companion, changed into his larger form and pulled the bag out with his teeth. Kagome smiled gratefully before cradling the other two nekos to her chest and climbing out of the well. With a `pop' Hari was back in his small form and falling from the sky only to land with a playful `mew' on top of his mistress's head. Kagome giggled and slung her bag onto her back before making her way to the village.

 

“KAGOME!!!” a red ball of fluff suddenly collided into the miko's chest and she smiled.

 

“Shippo! Oh how I have missed you.” She laughed as he hugged her with his small arms.

 

He grinned up at her. His face suddenly changed to curiosity as he gazed at the three nekos perched on his adoptive mother. “Kagome? Who are they?”

 

“Well the silver one is Hari, I can tell you that much, but I will explain later.” She said, smiling nervously at the kit.

 

`I don't want to tell them yet…at least not til I have transformed and can see what I can do.' Smiling down at the kitsune, the five of them walked to Kaede's hut. Once Kagome entered, Inuyasha appeared in her face with a scowl. Kagome rolled her eyes and pushed past him to sit next to Sango.

 

“Kagome…why do you have three nekos with you?” her sister-like friend asked, eyeing the demons warily.

 

Kagome smiled as she pulled Hari from atop her head and into her lap where the other nekos had settled themselves comfortably. “Well….I found them! Yea, I found them in my time and couldn't just leave them, they were just so cute. The only one that has a name as of now is the silver one. His name is Hari.” She grinned, hoping her friends wouldn't see through her lies.

 

Kirara carefully crept over to the other nekos as the girls watched. The three new nekos mewed at Kirara and she mewed back. The four demons began to play together as if they had known eachother for years and the girls giggled.

 

“Well I guess they're ok, but the only thing is, I thought there weren't any demons in your time Kagome?”

 

Kagome froze in her spot, thinking frantically for an answer. “They must be well concealed in my time, years of practice I guess.” She shrugged.

 

“Ok enough of your `girl talk' we've waited long enough for you to get back, so let's get going!” Inuyasha complained.

 

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

 

They had been walking for hours on end, following another lead on Naraku.

 

“Inuyasha, can we take a quick break? I'm so tired.” Kagome asked.

 

Just as the hanyou was about to yell over his shoulder, a large mass of demons suddenly emerged from the forests. Panicking, Kagome grabbed Shippo and dove to the ground. A snake demon had its sights on her and as it neared, the four nekos transformed and surrounded Kagome and Shippo. Sango soon lost her Hiraikotsu and Kirara flung forward to save her mistress. There were so many demons that the group slowly got split, Kagome, Shippo, and the other three nekos warding off demons in one direction, Inuyasha running blindly into battle in the complete opposite direction, and Sango, Miroku, and Kirara remaining where they were attacked. The demons herded Kagome and the other demons away from the group until they were out of sight.

 

“Now Miko, give us the jewel!” A snake hissed. The three nekos where about to spring forward when they suddenly collapsed, changing into their smaller forms. Confused, Kagome dropped to her knees to check the nekos. Their energy had been drained. Shippo hid behind Kagome as she stood bravely.

 

“How dare you harm my friends, you will pay for that.” She glared at the demons.

 

“What is an untrained miko going to do? You have no arrows left.” They chuckled and Kagome smirked.

 

Kagome wrapped her fingers around her broach, “Forbidden Crystal Power!” The demons and Shippo watched in awe as a silverish white glow emitted from the broach. Suddenly, ribbons of gold and white surrounded Kagome's now nude form. Her eyes closed as if she were in a peaceful sleep, the ribbons twirled around her upper body and with a flash, pearl white clothing covered her. The fabric was about an inch under her breast, showing off her nice toned stomach, and had short sleeves. With another flash, a short skirt of the same color as her top fluttered in a nonexistent wind. A long silver fluffy tail pushed out behind her and silver triangular ears appeared atop her head. Golden armor formed at her shoulders and from her elbows down to her wrists. A golden band sparkled around her right thigh and ankle high heeled boots replaced her dull school shoes. Her hair gained silver streaks and a golden bow formed above her breast, between her shoulder plate armor. The crystal broach shone in the center of the bow proudly. She opened her eyes and to reveal the new intense color of her eyes. Their once warm brown had turned to a deadly liquid like silver. Kagome grinned at her transformed self before glaring at the demons before her. (A/N: Ok, this was kinda hard to describe, so just imagine like Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, or Mew Mew Power. The Forbidden Jewels transform pretty much the same way as those characters do. Ok? Just go with me here please ^_^)

 

“So what if you changed physically? You still can't defeat us!” They roared and lunged at her.

 

As if she had done it a million times before, Kagome raised her hands in front of her with a smirk. “Crystal Shards of Purity!” Silver shards shot from her palms and torn into the attacking demons' flesh. They fell to the ground in pain before turning to dust. Kagome smiled to herself in satisfactory before turning to show Shippo a toothy grin, a fang poking from her lips.

 

“How was that?! That was pretty cool huh?” Kagome giggled as the kit nodded his head vigorously.

 

“That was sooo cool Kagome! But what happened? Are you really a Kitsune demon?” He asked as he bounced in her arms. Kagome explained to Shippo everything that had happened while she was gone. The kit listened intently, softly stroking her long soft tail as she spoke.

 

“But Shippo, you can't tell the others about this ok? Well not yet at least.” Shippo smiled and twined his tail around Kagome's

 

“Kitsune promise, I won't say a word.” He grinned. (A/N: Yes, I got this from Kawaii-KeKe-Chan. It was so well thought, and it seemed perfect for the moment ^_^)

 

“Well let's get back to the others, before they begin to worry.” Kagome untransformed and smiled down at Shippo. Seeing his slight pout she asked what was wrong.

 

“I like you in your Kitsune form…your very pretty and you smell good…and it makes me feel more comfortable…” he pouted and the miko laughed before scooping up the kit, along with the three unharmed, yet sleeping, nekos into her arms and began to make her way back to the others.

 

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

 

When Kagome got back to the others, they were just finishing off the last of the demons.

 

“Kagome! Where were you? We were calling for you but you never answered, we were so worried!” Sango scolded her friend.

 

“Sorry Sango, the demons pulled me away, but the nekos got them.” She smiled. Only now noticing the sleeping demons in her arms, Sango smiled as well and scratched Hari's ears. “Well come on, we're about to set up camp in a little, once Inuyasha finds a decent place.”

 

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

 

The next morning, Kagome woke with a start. She could feel a large piece of the jewel heading their way, and fast. Quickly getting out of her sleeping bag, she shook Inuyasha awake.

 

“What the hell do you want!” he growled, still half asleep.

 

“Jewel shards! Lots of them are heading straight for us!” she yelled angrily, waking everyone else in the process. Immediately alert and leaping on his feet, Inuyasha pulled his sword from its sheath and growled in the direction he felt a demon. Suddenly, tentacles emerged from the trees. Everyone fought off the deadly sharp weapons of Naraku's puppet as one tentacle hit Kagome's pack. Worried the contents would be destroyed; she reached for her bag and began running back to the others. Sango had several cuts on her legs and arms, as did Miroku. As for Inuyasha, well as usual, he dove into battle, completely ignoring his wounds. A tentacle wrapped around Kagome's ankle and she fell. Her bag hit the ground and opened, everything spilling out. The Aquamarine broach rolled out and landed at Sango's feet. In the middle of her battle, Kirara began to slowly change. The black markings on her fur slowly changed to an icy blue and her eyes turned to the same aqua color as the gem embedded in the broach. As Kagome watched in awe, realization hit her as Sango picked up the broach and it began to glow. The tentacle slowly began to pull Kagome away and the miko yelled to her friend.

 

“Sango! Hurry! Say `Forbidden Aqua Power'!”

 

Sango looked confused, but seeing her friend in danger, she immediately turned to the broach. “Forbidden Aqua Power!”

 

Just like Kagome, ribbons wrapped around the demon slayers body, but a dark blue color instead of Kagome's white. A shirt, similar to the miko's but dark blue, appeared with a flash, stopping just below her breast. A dark flowing skirt made itself visible as well, stopping at mid thigh. Like Kagome, armor formed at Sango's shoulders and forearms but shining silver instead of gold. The slayer's dark hair gained blue streaks as her ears become more pointed and a brown tail emerges from behind her. A silver band shimmers around her right thigh and silver and blue heeled boots like Kagome's finish her transformation. She opens her eyes to reveal them no longer their sweet brown, but a shining aqua blue. A silver bow slowly forms above her breast and in the middle, the broach sits comfortably.

 

Sango looks herself over in amazement. Kagome's yell brings her back to the present and she glares at the Naraku puppet holding her friend upside down. Placing her hands together above her head, she glares at the demon. “Icy Aqua Falls!”

 

A river of water hits the puppet head on, successfully freezing it in solid ice. Kagome drops to the ground and runs over to Sango. The slayer stares at the demon in surprise. Did she really do that? It begins to break free and Kagome takes a look at her shocked friends Inuyasha and Miroku. With a shrug, she wraps her fingers around her broach.

 

“Forbidden Crystal Power!”

 

The guys and Sango watch in awe as Kagome transforms.

 

`What the hell is going on?' Inuyasha wonders, completely confused.

 

`What is this? They seem to have transformed…hmm…interesting. And I must say…I absolutely love the outfits.' Miroku grins as he stares at Sango's long legs.

 

`So Kagome knows what's happening? She has a LOT of explaining to do.'

 

Once Kagome was transformed, she turned a glare to the Naraku puppet. “Crystal Shards of Purity!” Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku stare in shock as the puppet slowly turns to dust.

A satisfied smirk covered the miko's face as she turned a smile to her friends. The smile soon fell at the looks her companions were giving her.

 

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

 

After an hour and a half of explaining everything about the Forbidden Jewels and Kagome's mission, Miroku suggested the girls go back to Kagome's time to see if there were anymore Forbidden Jewels there. Inuyasha of course refused to let them leave at first, but after quite a few `sits' he agreed. So the girls packed their things and left for Kagome's time. Once there, Kagome helped Sango unpack her things in the guess room after realizing her family was out for the week. The day was quite uneventful. Walking to the mall to buy Sango more modern day clothing, running into Hojo, then running away from him, then going home to have some ice cream. The girls were just about to call it a day when a large amount of demon energy appeared just north of their home. Running into the backyard, the girls stared at the forest in front of them.

 

“Finally some fun! You ready to try out your new powers Sango?”

 

“Sure am, lets go.”

 

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

 

Yusuke glared at the demi lord in irritation.

 

“Can you just tell us what we're here for so we can leave?!” he yelled

 

“Patience Yusuke, I'm locating the rip as we speak.”

 

“There's another rip in the barrier? We just closed one off a week ago!” Kuwabara said.

 

“There! Botan! Please open a portal and get them out of here!”

 

She nodded happily and dropped them through a portal in the floor. Landing on their feet, Yusuke mumbled several choice words about a certain toddle. Hiei shook his head and turn toward where the large amount of demonic energy was coming from.

 

“Let's get this over with.”

 

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

 

The girls came to a stop as they found a large group of demons and what seemed to be a black hole behind them. Placing their hands over their broaches, they smiled to eachother and nodded.

 

“Forbidden Crystal Power!”

 

“Forbidden Aqua Power!”

 

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

 

As the SD's got closer to the rip, they could hear screams of pain. Confused, Kurama turned to Hiei.

 

`Are they fighting eachother?'

 

`Why would they do that? They're all on the same side.'

 

As they cleared the hill they were climbing, they stared in surprise at the two demons in enticing clothing killing all the demons coming out of the rip.

 

`Red! It's a kitsune! She looks so delicious…' Youko purred.

 

`Youko, we don't know whose side she is on.'

 

`Who cares?'

 

Kurama sighed, `I'm only letting you out if you promise to behave.'

 

`Yea yea, hurry up and let me out so we can talk to her.'

 

Shaking his head, he gave control over to Youko and after the transformation, they all ran into battle. Youko stayed somewhat close to the kitsune, occasionally watching her fight. She fought with such grace and skill. As he looked her over, he realized she was a silver Kitsune. His inner demon demanded for him to claim her. She was the last female silver of their kind! Kurama convinced him that he needed to pay attention to battle if they wanted to live to see this vixen after today. Hiei stayed close to the wolf, but not close enough for any of the others to notice. She intrigued him. As the battle raged on, Kagome was occupied with a large lizard demon that just didn't know how to die. Her attention was so focused on the lizard she didn't see the snake demon sneaking up behind her. She finally disposed of the lizard but she didn't have enough time to dodge the snake's attack. Suddenly she found herself on the ground with the silver kitsune that came with his companions on top of her. He smirked down at her and she blushed like a tomato.

 

“You owe me vixen” he purred in her ear and she shivered slightly. He was suddenly gone and she leapt up and ran back into battle. The number of attacking demons slowly diminished and Youko began slacking as he lazily threw his whip at any demons that dared to come near him. A yawn escaped him and he found himself wrapped in the tail of a large viper. Growling up at it warningly, it bared its fangs down on the kitsune as its tail rattled.

 

“Crystal Shards of Purity!” pearl white shards of ice embedded themselves into the demons thick body and it slowly turned to dust around Youko. He turned to see the kitsune smirking at him.

 

“Not anymore.” She winked before disappearing.

 

Youko smirked. `Oh I like her…she's good.'

 

-Youko we can talk about this later, now please pay attention. - Kurama growled.

 

Youko rolled his eyes and dove back into battle. Once all the demons were destroyed, the boys closed the rip and turned to see the two female demons interrogating one of the demons that survived. The wolf lifted the ogre off the ground and snarled at him.

 

“Who do you work for.” She demanded

 

“I will never tell! You'll have to kill me first!” it hissed.

 

“That can be arranged…” Sango smirked as she raised her claws, preparing to end his pathetic life. The Kitsune stopped her before she could strike the demon and turned her intense golden gaze on the demon. Narrowing her eyes, she lifted her hand as a pink glow surrounded her fingers. The demon began panicking and tried to escape from the wolf's grasp. Youko and Hiei stared at the two demons in surprise. That was purification that was surrounding her fingers. How could a demon have purification powers? Who were these girls?

 

Smirking darkly, the kitsune addressed the terrified demon. “You will go back to your boss and tell him The Forbidden Jewels are back and their going to find him.”

 

The demon nodded vigorously and Sango dropped the demon to the ground. He scrambled to his feet and dashed off. Without even a glance at the Spirit Detectives, the girls disappeared. The guys continued to stare at nothing as what they just heard sunk in.

 

“The…Forbidden Jewels are…girls?” Yusuke asked.

 

“It would seem so.” Kurama answered after Youko returned control to him.

 

“They were pretty…” Kuwabara grinned dreamily. Youko growled from the confines of Kurama's mind.

 

“So our mission was fighting beside us the entire time then disappeared? I vote we don't tell the toddler about this.” Yusuke stated.

 

Agreeing, everyone slowly made their way back to the city.

 

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

 

Sango breathed a sigh of relief. She was hoping the boys that were assisting in the battle wouldn't follow them, though the demon in black perked her interest. She turned to Kagome to see her grinning happily.

 

“Kagome are you ok?” she asked as they changed back to their human forms.

 

“Hmm? Oh yea, I'm fine, just thinking.” She smiled with a slight blush.

 

“Oh I get it.” Sango smirked, “Your thinking of that kitsune aren't you.”

 

Kagome blushed darker and smiled innocently. “Maybe…”

 

“He was pretty cute…and with your ear and tail fetishes…” Sango giggled at her friends frown.

 

“Well you have no room to talk missy. You were eyeing that demon in black! Yea, I saw you!” She accused.

 

Now Sango blushed and grinned. “What? It doesn't hurt to look…”

 

“I'll agree with you there…did you even see the other two guys?”

 

“No, I was too busy fighting.”

 

“And checking out the demon in black.” Kagome added with a giggle.

 

“Well I doubt you saw the other boys either! You were too busy ogling the kitsune.” Sango laughed as Kagome shrugged.

 

“Well enough about that, do you think their on our side?”

 

“I hope so… but just in case, we should keep an eye out for them.”

 

Kagome nodded in agreement, thinking about the silver kitsune that had saved her. They finally came to the house and they walked in.

 

“You know, I never thought of it, but where were the nekos when we were fighting?” Sango asked.

 

“Now that I think about it, I have no idea…but I feel their auras upstairs in my room.” The girls made their way up the stairs and into the miko's room. There on her bed where the four nekos, sleeping soundly. The girls rolled their eyes.

 

“Some companions they are.” Sango mumbled.

 

“You can say that again.”

 

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

 

The next morning the girls got ready for school. The previous night, Kagome's mother had talked to her about moving out and if she was interested seeing as she was old enough. Not to mention Sango was now living with her and since she moved schools, she had to walk so far to get there. Her mother thought it would be to her convenience to find an apartment near the school. Kagome didn't like that idea that demons still existed in her time and her family was in danger, but was convinced that she herself attracted danger. With her miko aura and the jewel shards, she was one of the main targets that demons shoot for. She agreed to look around for anything available. Kagome was going to bring Sango with her to school and register her. After eating a quick breakfast and lending Sango one of her extra uniforms, Kagome dragged her friend to school. Once they came to the school gates, Keiko yelled out to Kagome and the miko smiled. Kagome pulled Sango over to Keiko and the guys.

 

“Good morning Kagome!” Keiko smiled.

 

“Morning everyone, this is Sango. She's my friends from out of town and she will be going to school with me now.” Kagome grinned.

 

Everyone smiled at Sango and Yusuke yawned in his boredom. Keiko and Kagome glared at him and he immediately backed away. “So…uh Kurama…lets get to class!”

 

“But Yusuke, I don't even have the same first period with you.” Kurama's complaining could be heard as Yusuke retreated into the school, the red head in tow. Once they were a safe distance, Yusuke sighed in relief.

 

“I can face deadly demons without an ounce of fear, but when it comes to those two…I'm scared shitless.”

 

Kurama chuckled. “They are quite scary for human women aren't they? Anyway, we need to talk about the Forbidden Jewels. What are we going to do when we find them again?”

 

“Easy, knock them out and take them to the toddler. I don't wanna deal with them, from what I saw the wolf do to that demon; I think I'm more scared of them than Keiko and Kagome.”

 

“YUSUKE!” said detective froze in his spot. Turning, he saw his girlfriends storming down the hallway toward him.

 

“I take that back!” He said before running off.

 

Kurama rolled his eyes as Keiko stormed past him. He turned to get to his class only to see Kagome smiling up at him. He saw her friend Sango was trying to open her locker a few feet away and turned a smile down to her.

 

“Good morning Kagome, is there something you need?”

 

“Um Kurama? I was wondering if you knew of any apartments nearby that were available?”

 

*Ours is always available…* Youko purred in his mind.

 

-Be quiet Youko, I thought you were interested in the kitsune.-

 

*I am, but how can I ignore such a beauty as herself?*

 

-So you like both of them?-

 

*You could say that*

 

-Too bad they aren't the same person.-

 

*You have no idea how amazing that would be, but unfortunately, the vixen is a demon and this one is human.*

 

-Life really is unfair sometimes isn't it?-

 

“Kurama? Are you ok? Hello?” the avatar snapped back to reality at the sound of Kagome's voice.

 

“Oh sorry Kagome, I was just thinking. There are two open apartments in my complex. Yusuke lives there as well.” He offered.

 

“Would you mind showing them to me after school today?”

 

“Of course, it's not a problem.” He smiled before saying goodbye and rushed to his class.

 

Kagome grinned happily and grabbed Sango by the arm. Slamming her friend's locker closed, she dragged her to their first class.

 

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

 

Finally, it was time for gym. Kagome bought Sango a uniform and the girls met Keiko in the locker room. After getting dressed, they walked out into the gym. Keiko ran over to the guys and Sango slowed their pace.

 

“So this gym class…what do we do?” she asked as she looked around at all the other students in gym uniforms.

 

“You'll love this class, believe me. All we do is play sports and do physical activities.” Kagome explained.

 

After attendance was taken, the teacher announced that the school was low on bows for the class to use for archery so they were moving on to volleyball. The teacher sent the class out to the track to run three laps to warm up and Sango sent a questioning look at Kagome. The miko led her friend out to the track with the rest of the class and told her that all they had to do was run around the track three times. Sango laughed.

 

“That's it? This should be a piece of cake Kags!” the demon slayer grinned as they began their run. The two girls were easily the first ones done without even breaking a sweat. Kurama took his time, watching Kagome's amazing body as she ran. Her perfect legs flex with each stride. He finished his laps soon after the girls and made his way over to them.

 

“You two aren't like most girls. Everyone is impressed that you're in such good shape.” The avatar complimented.

 

“Well all the walking and figh…” Kagome slapped a hand over Sango's mouth before she could finish what she was saying. She gave her a warning glare before turning a smile to the confused red head.

 

“She's talking about our self defense classes. We do a lot of walking and fighting there.” Kagome said, hoping he wouldn't catch her lie.

 

*Red, they're hiding something*

 

-I know, but what could it be?-

 

*Lets seduce it out of her* Youko purred, trying to gain control of their body.

 

-Youko, no! We can't let anyone see you here! Now stop, we'll figure it out later.-

 

Kurama sighed in relief when his counterpart settled down and he turned his attention back to Kagome. “Well that's good, so you girls know how to protect yourselves quite well then?”

 

“Very well.” Sango answered proudly.

 

Just then, Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped near them and bent over, with their hands on their knees, to catch their breath. Once they could breathe again, Yusuke shot an accusing gaze at the girls. “What is wrong with you two? You aren't even sweating.”

 

“We're just in really good shape.” Kagome smiled.

 

“Yea right, I'm in good shape too but even that small run tired me out, it's like you're not even human.” Yusuke huffed.

 

Sango's eyes widened and Kagome laughed nervously. “You're so weird Suke.”

 

“Well let's get going Kagome! I want to start volleyball!” Sango said before the two girls dashed off to the gym.

 

Keiko finally made her way over to them and was confused at the glares the three boys had on their faces.

 

“There's something fishy about those two.”

 

“I would have to agree, they are hiding something.”

 

“But they don't feel abnormal, they feel like complete humans.” Kwa stated.

 

“I know that you idiot, but there's something they aren't telling us.” Yusuke accused.

 

“Maybe they are like…secret agents or something?” Keiko suggested. The three boys turned dry looks to her as if saying `you have to be kidding me'.

 

“Oh shut up! It was just a suggestion!” she yelled before storming off toward the gym.

 

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

 

After school, Kagome lead Sango to the front of the school so they could wait for Kurama.

 

“So what are we doing again?”

 

“We are waiting for Kurama so he can show us the apartments in his complex.”

 

“Kurama is the red head you have the hots for right?”

 

Kagome turned red and glared at her friend.

 

“What? You know its true…” the demon slayer laughed.

 

“Kagome?”

 

The miko spun around to find the person they were just talking about smiling down at her. Her blush darkened and she turned away from him. Confused, he looked to Sango.

 

“Don't worry about her, she's just not feeling very well.” Sango explained, trying to hold in her laughter.

 

“If you aren't feeling well then should we do this another time?” Kurama asked.

 

Kagome quickly turned her attention back to her current crush and shook her head vigorously. “No, no, no! Let's do it now! Lead the way!” She grinned.

 

Nodding slowly, Kurama lead the girls to his apartment complex. Once they reached their destination, the avatar took them to the 3rd floor and down the hall. Apparently, he lived in apartment number 324 and Yusuke lived in 326. The two available apartments were numbers 325 and 327. Seeing as the odd numbered apartments were on the left side, the boys lived right across the hall. Opening the door to 325, Kagome saw that there was a nice sized living room once she entered. To the left was a door that led to a decent looking kitchen and to the right was a hallway. At the end of the hall were a bathroom and the bedroom. The boring gray color of the walls didn't sit well with Kagome; she would have to do some painting. Walking back into the living room, Sango pointed to another door on the other side of the room. Opening it, Kagome was excited to see a balcony.

 

“So do you like it?” Kurama asked as he joined her on the balcony.

 

“I love it, it's perfect. Where did Sango go?”

 

“She is looking at the other apartment.” The avatar answered.

 

*We've got her alone! Let me out now Red!*

 

-No Youko! She doesn't know about demons, if she sees you she will get scared-

 

*Nonsense! No female can resist me*

 

-No Youko, my intention isn't to scare her away the first time I actually get her alone.-

 

*At least ask her out! Something Red! You're killing me here!*

 

Kurama rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to Kagome. Suddenly he saw the female silver kitsune from the other day where Kagome stood and he gasped. Kagome is the silver kitsune?! As soon as he saw it, it disappeared and Kagome turned to smile at him. Shaking his head, he rubbed his eyes only to see normal, human Kagome standing in front of him with a worried expression on her beautiful face. `Youko must be thinking of the kitsune, that's probably why I'm seeing her…Kagome can't be her anyway. It isn't possible for a human to turn into a full blooded demon.'

 

“Kurama? Are you alright?” Kagome asked.

 

“Perfectly fine, but I'd like to ask you something Kagome.”

 

“Sure, shoot.” She said, turning her full attention to him.

 

“Do you like movies?”

 

“Are you asking me out?” Kagome grinned.

 

“Maybe, depends on your answer.” Kurama smiled charmingly.

 

“I love movies.”

 

“Saturday night then?”

 

“Sounds perfect.” Kagome smiled. She stared into Kurama's amazing forest green eyes and found herself captivated by their beauty.

 

“Hey Kagome! Can we leave now?! I want to start packing my things!” Sango suddenly yelling from the front door, startling Kagome and causing Kurama to break eye contact. She smiled one last time and told him she would meet him at the theater at seven before disappearing out the door.

 

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

 

Kagome and Sango finally reach the shrine and the nekos come running out of the house to greet them. The girls pick them up and pet them lovingly as the demons purr loudly. Once inside, Kagome's mother welcomes them home. Walking into the kitchen, the girls tell the miko's mother of the apartments. After explaining where it was and how much they liked them, they went upstairs to begin packing their things. By midnight, the girls agreed that they would stay home from school so they could start moving their things into their new apartments. Once everything was packed, Kagome and Sango fell into their beds and were asleep once their heads hit the pillows. The next morning, Kagome's mother woke them up and served them breakfast. She had already called in a moving van and it was waiting outside and down the stairs of the shrine. After thanking her mother, the girls had the nekos transform and slowly pile all the boxes outside of the house. Luckily, the demons where just small enough to fit through the door. As the nekos continued emptying Kagome and Sango's rooms, the two girls began carrying the boxes to the truck and loading it. Once all the boxes where in the truck and the nekos where under a concealing spell to make them appear like normal cats, Kagome and Sango said their goodbyes and after promising to visit as much as possible, carried all four nekos into the truck with them and drove off. Excited that they were almost to their new homes, they stopped by the school seeing as it was almost over. They only had to wait several minutes before the bell rang and everyone began exiting the school. Soon they saw Kuwabara, Yusuke and Kurama and they rolled down the window.

 

“GUYS!!!!!!” Kagome yelled with a laugh. They turned to the truck in confusion before they saw the two brunettes' heads poking out of the window. They made their way over to them and smiled.

 

“Hey, why weren't you guys at school today? And why do you have a moving truck?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“We're moving into the available apartments on Kurama and Yusuke's floor. You guys want a ride?”

 

“Sure, and we'll help you unload the truck.” Yusuke offered.

 

“Sounds great! Hop in!”

 

Sango moved all the nekos to Kagome's lap and stepped out of the car. Kurama slid in next to Kagome and flashed her a charming smile. Yusuke got in next, and then Sango plopped down next to the window. Kuwabara glared at them. “Where am I supposed to sit!?”

 

Kagome smiled innocently, “I guess you have to sit in the back.”

 

Complaining quietly, Kuwabara hopped in the back of the truck with all the boxes and Sango closed the door. Once she was back in her seat and the nekos where all comfortable in hers and Sango's laps, Kagome drove off. Yusuke grinned evilly and turned to Kagome.

 

“Hey…How about we give Kuwabara a fun ride back there?”

 

A smirk formed on her lips and Sango grabbed onto the handle above the door. Yusuke snapped in his seatbelt and held his hands on the dashboard. Kurama, with nothing to hold onto, wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist. She blushed slightly but didn't seem to mind and Youko smiled from the back of their mind.

 

*I told you she liked us*

 

-I never doubted it-

 

As Kagome drove recklessly, making shape turns and abrupt stops, they all laughed as they heard yells and pounding in the back of the truck. They finally reached their destination and Kagome parked the truck and hopped out, the nekos following obediently. She opened the door to the back and had to hold back her laugh at the look Kuwabara was giving her. Sango giggled slightly before quickly grabbing a box and heading toward the door. Kagome grabbed a box and looked down at the nekos. Patting the top of the box, each of them leapt onto the box or on her shoulders with a mew.

 

“Those are some pretty obedient cats.” Yusuke observed.

 

“Oh yes,” Kagome smiled, “They love me and Sango and always listen to us.” She stated before making her way up the stairs after Sango. After about Kagome's fifth trip down the stairs, she went back to the truck and grabbed another box. She jumped down to the ground and began walking to the door when the door of the truck suddenly slammed shut, scaring her half to death. Her heart pounding, she took a deep breath and caught a glimpse of something silver behind her. Shocked beyond belief, Kagome stared wide eyed at her tail, her fur standing on end from her fright just a few moments ago. Panicking, she put the box down and made her tail disappear. Breathing a sigh a relief, she thanked god that no one was near by and saw that. Deciding to talk to Sango about it later, she picked up her box and continued what she was doing. Soon all the boxes where unloaded and piled in each of the girls rooms. Luckily, the apartments were already furnished, so Kagome didn't have to go out and purchase furniture. After thanking the guys, the girls decided to unpack their things. Kirara followed Sango into her home and Hari and the other two nekos followed Kagome. It took them all day, but they finally finished unpacking and putting everything where they wanted them to go. It was around ten o clock and tomorrow was Saturday. Kagome smiled as she remembered that she had a date tomorrow and decided that she would eat then get a good nights rest.

 

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

 

Kagome woke the next morning from the feeling of warm, soft fur rubbing against her cheek. Yawning and opening her eyes, she smiled up at Hari and scratched him behind the ears. Pulling the blanket back, the miko stretched and looked at the time. TWO THIRTY?!?!?! She slept all the way into the after noon?! Fully awake now, the miko ran into the bathroom to take a shower. Using her favorite coconut scented shampoo and conditioner; she washed her hair as fast as she possibly could. She still needed to talk to Sango about what happened yesterday! Quickly washing her body with her almond extract scented soap, she washed off and turned the water off. Wrapping a towel around her body, she ran into her closet and pulled her bath robe on before running next door to Sango's. Knocking softly, the demons slayer opened the door and smiled.

 

“Good morning Kagome, is there something you need?”

 

“Yea, I need to talk to you about something…important….”

 

Getting the hint, Sango motioned her into the living room and sat down on the couch next to the miko. Once they were comfortable, she looked at the miko in question. Kagome explained what had happen to her the other day when they were moving their things out of the truck. Sango rolled her eyes.

 

“Kagome, your tail couldn't have popped out, we aren't demons. The broached turn us into demons.”

 

“You don't believe me?” Kagome asked in disbelief. When the other girl shook her head sadly, Kagome sighed. Eyeing the coffee cup on the table in front of her, she pointed behind Sango, saying there was a demon. Once the demon slayer turned, Kagome grabbed the cup and dropped it to the ground, scaring Sango in the process. She jumped slightly before turning to glare at Kagome.

 

“Why did you do that?!”

 

“Look for yourself.” She answered, staring at the top of her friends head. Confused, Sango's hands traveled up to the top of her head and felt furry ears. Her eyes widened as she realized her ears where visible. She turned the confused expression to the miko.

 

“I told you so.” Was all the miko said before standing and heading toward the door.

 

“We have to be careful Sango, so watch yourself. I have something important to attend to later today, so ill see you tomorrow.” She said before exiting her friend's apartment. She returned to her home and finished getting ready. The three nekos watched as the miko rushed back and forth between the bathroom and her closet, trying to find the perfect outfit. Once she had accomplished that task, she moved onto her hair and makeup. She left her hair down and applied little makeup before kissing each neko on the head and running out the door. She quickly made her way to the movie theatre, in hopes of beating Kurama so she could fix herself up a little. She reached her destination and was relieved to find he wasn't there yet. She quickly fixed her hair in the bathroom before making her way outside to wait for her date. As she waited, a boy about her age and about a head taller, stalked up to her. He draped his arm over her shoulders and smirked down at her.

 

“What's a pretty little thing like you doing out here all alone?”

 

“I'm not alone, I'm waiting for my date.” Kagome said as she shrugged his arm off of her shoulder. He was about to say something else to her when she suddenly ran to a read headed guy. She hugged him and he wrapped his arms around her petite form before turning a glare to him. He snorted and walked back over to his laughing friends. Kurama watched as the boy disappeared from sight and Youko huffed in irritation.

 

*You should have severed his arm for daring to lay a hand on what is ours*

 

-Youko, he is only human, thus doesn't know anything what so ever about claims. Calm down, she obviously rejected him without a second thought.-

 

The kitsune grinned at the sight, it amused him to no end to see the look of disbelief on the boys face when she shrugged his arm off her shoulder and ran to them. Looking down, he found himself lost in beautiful ocean blue orbs. She smiled up at him and moved away, instantly making him hold back a whimper at the lost of warmth. She stared up at the screen that displayed the large variety of movies they could watch.

 

“What would you like to watch Kurama?” her voice sounded cheerful and excited, making him smile.

 

*Oh!!! A horror flick!!! Women get scared and clingy when they're frightened!!* Youko shouted

 

“Well I prefer to a horror flick, but the movie is your choice tonight Kagome.”

 

Thinking for a moment, Kagome turned mischief eyes on him, causing him to look at her curiously. “If we were to watch a horror movie….what one would you like to watch?” she asked innocently.

 

Youko purred within the confines of their mind. *she is a sneaky one*

 

-Indeed she is-

 

“I asked you on this date Kagome, so this is all your choice.”

 

“So if I was the one that asked you on this date, you would be choosing the movie right now?”

 

“Most likely, yes.”

 

She nodded slowly, her eyes seeming calculating. She stared at the screen for several moments before turning to him again.

 

“Well I want to watch something scary, can you help me pick which one to watch?”

 

He nodded and explained each of the movies, the ones he liked and were interested in were explained in more detail seeing as he had watched more commercials on them. Grinning, Kagome picked the exact movie Kurama wanted to watch. Narrowing his eyes at her, she smiled innocently. Not able to stay angry with her, he chuckled softly and paid for their tickets.

 

“How did you know which one I wanted to watch?” he asked, no longer able to bury his curiosity.

 

“Simple, the movies you were more interested in were explained more thoroughly.” She smiled before grabbed his hand and pulling him into the building.

 

*Very sneaky, she's good.* the kitsune admired

 

-I must admit, no one has ever tricked me like she just did.-

 

*Another wonderful quality of hers.*

 

-I completely agree.-

 

After buying some popcorn and a cherry icee, courtesy of Kurama, they entered the theatre and found seats at the very top. They arrived just as the movie started and Kagome immediately pulled her feet onto her chair and hugged her knees to her chest. She barely touched the popcorn but held tightly onto her icee as if it were a lifeline. Youko chuckled at how cute she looked and demanded Kurama make a move. He rolled his eyes and laid his arm over the back of her chair, though she didn't seem to notice. Once she was finished with her icee, she slowly placed the cup on the floor, her eyes glued to the screen. The killer came out of the closet and attacked the girl in the movie, making everyone, including the scared little miko, jump. Seeing as the armrest between them wasn't down, when Kagome jumped, she found herself latched onto Kurama's arm, squeezing it to her chest tightly. Kurama felt his arm being smashed between her perfect breast and had to try extra hard to hold Youko back. Another scary part played across the screen and Kagome buried her face into his shoulder. Sighing with a smile, Kurama, with many complaints and threats from Youko, pried his arm from Kagome's death grip and instead pulled her into his lap. Feeling more at ease and safe, Kagome turned a warm smile to him. She turned her attention back to the movie and Kurama buried his nose into her mass of hair and inhaled her wonderful scent of coconut and almond extract.

 

“You smell absolutely divine Kagome…”

 

“Thank you.” She smiled with a slight blush.

 

Eventually, she rested her head against his chest and her breathing evened out, signaling that she had fallen asleep. Youko was confused beyond belief.

 

*How could she fall asleep? Was she not scared out of her mind just moments ago?*

 

-Yes, but obviously she feels safe and protected in our arms. Once she felt that sense of security, she no longer feared the movie and most likely grew bored and fell asleep.-

 

*But she barely knows us, how can she be so trusting? Not that I am complaining. If it wasn't for her trust, she wouldn't be sitting in our lap right now.*

 

-That is something we will have to ask her later, because I haven't the slightest clue.-

 

Seeing as Kagome was asleep most likely meant she was tired. Making sure he had a good hold on her, he stood and left the theatre. He carried her home and skillfully fished through her coat pocket for her keys. Opening her door, he made his way to her room and laid her down on her bed before pulling the blankets over her. He stared down at her beautiful face with a smile. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. Bending down, he kissed her on the cheek before leaving to his own apartment across the hall. Once Kurama was gone and the door was closed, three small nekos poked their head from inside Kagome's closet. Satisfied that there was no one there, they pranced up to the bed and curled up next to their mistress.
