Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lady Protector ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Midnight_001: hey guys sorry if I haven't been updating lately it's just that (Just to be honest with ya'll) I am a very and I repeat very lazy person. That and the fact that I didn't know how to go about my stories. But by some act of a higher power I got you another chapter in my wonderful story. Yay!! Enjoy this chapter and don't forget to review!!
Men!! .... and Women!!


Koenma had led the way to his office where he had especially set up an extravagant meal for his special guests. This was also a perfect way to impress upon his desire to find out just what this lady has to say and just what are her motives. While it is a great honor to have her as a guest there was a few missing details in this picture. Why had she called upon him? Why does she want to train them and why did she ask for the girls. The girls hadn't done much before. (Sexist Pig!!!!)

When they had reached his office the Reikai tentai was little surprise at how nice everything was. The room was no longer the dull blue it had once been but a nice and soothing dark red. With a nice and large oak bookshelf lining the wall behind massive desk that reeked power. 'Thank God the interior decorators were able to finish before she came.' Koenma thought. In front of the desk was a large oval table that could perfectly seat all of them.

Seating the lady and her child down Koenma motioned for all of the others to take a seat. As soon as they sat down the huge doors opened once more to reveal the long line of demons (Like George) each holding a silver platter in their hands. They began to approach the table. Each gap between a person sitting on a table was where a 'waiter' stood. Yusuke was beginning to actually drool from the smell that was coming out of the silver platter. Keiko having seen this stomped on his foot. Unfortunately this had only caused Yusuke to choke upon his own spit when he tried to slurp it back into his mouth.

Kurama who had been sitting next to the choking Yusuke thumped his hand on his back to help him out a bit. "Huuhh, Huuhh," Yusuke breathed. He turned a look at Keiko and could see that she was shaking from holding back her laughter. Looking from across the table was Kuwabara. Laughing. At. Him. "Ha ha Uremishi! Geez I can't believe you choked on your own spit. Even I'm not that dumb!," Kuwabara said rather proudly. Then he thought about. "Wait now does that mean I called myself stupid?" he asked out loud. Yukina sitting to his right shook her head. "Oh Kazuma."

Hiei smirk at this. 'This would be too easy' "Well of course you baka. And to think it took you almost two decades of your life to finally realize what all of us already know". Soon a sound of steam escaping from a small hole could be heard. A large red faced Kuwabara looked over to the short (but undeniably hott) fire demon that was seated to the right of His Yukina. "Why you little bug come over here so I can squish you!"

Kurama shook his head in disappointment. He thought that they would at least not fight right in front of their guests. But he guessed that that was surely too much to ask from them. Turning to the lady who was seating to his left he offered an apologetic half smile. "I'm terribly sorry that you have to witness such a childish argument between my two *ex* friends," Having stretched on the word Ex caused Hiei and Kuwabara to take note of their surroundings. The faces that they looked were angry, mad, amused and disappointed. Kuwabara had the decency to blush but Hiei just gave his usual cold stare and "Hnn" and looked away.

Giving a glare that promised retribution Koenma glared at the two then cleared his throat giving the waiters the signal to serve the food. Setting a silver platter in front of each person they opened the lid to reveal a lovely steam that filled the room with a wondrous aroma. When the steam had finally cleared it revealed a lovely entrée of Bird Nest Soup. (A/n: Mmm! Ya know by living in Hawaii you have a lot of different cultural background. One of this being foods, there are Samoan, Filipino, Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Micronesian, Spanish/Mexican/Latin, and even more types of food. Oh what fun it is living in Hawaii.!!) Nodding his head Koenma signaled that they should begin to eat.

Kagome took a sniff at the soup and was close to begin drooling. It had been at the least two months since she had eaten this soup (A/n: so true, it has been that long since I went to the Chinese restaurant that serves Bird nest soup ! _! ) Hearing a light and almost inaudible chuckle she turned to her right to look at Kurama. Blushing cutely and looking like a child who had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar she smiled while explaining "Its been so long since I've eaten this."

Kurama smiled also. "Yes, indeed. My mother is a complete genius when it come to making bird nest soup next to oden of course." Widening her eyes she stood shocked. "Really you like oden too? That is my favorite of all soups." Kurama smile only grew more at this new revelation. 'Who knew a powerful person such as she would be so down to earth.' Not he apparently. "Well oden is also my favorite of the soups. Mines and Hiei's," he said nodding his head over to the fire apparition who had been listening closely. Well eavesdropping being the better word, that and making sure the baka didn't try anything funny with his sister. Unknown to the three of them a child was watching them and smiled at the way a certain red haired someone got along with a multi-colored haired woman.

Looking at Hiei, Kagome smiled at him. Not wanting to try and anger the 'Lady Protector' he nodded at her and began to once again apply himself to the soup. (A/n: That sounded kinda funny to me) 'Hmm, so he's one of the silent ones. Bet he's one of those that have the dark pasts. Better watch out for him.' Throughout the entrée and the meal and past the dessert she had taken in everyone, bar her son, and had found out that the group was very closed knitted. They all knew each other so well, like the way she was with Sango, Miroku, and..... Inuyasha.

With lunch now over the room began to shift around. The dining table collapsed in on itself and 'melted' into the cold hard ground. Large chairs started to appear. Bowing to Kagome Koenma asked, "Now could you please sit here." Gesturing to the chair that was closest to the large desk that he had seated upon. "And the rest of you fill up the chairs." One by one they each began to take a seat. Kagome placed Shippou right next to her.

"Now Lady Protector, could you please tell us why you wanted an audience with my Spirit Detectives," Koenma asked. Nodding she complied, "You see I have foe that I had once thought to be dead. Not even a day afterwards a 'message' if you will came to me in a dream saying that he in fact still lives on. While weak I have enough reason to believe that given the amount of time of his fall and the present time he must have already gotten much stronger. I fear for the lives of those that are innocent to be caught in the undeniable future where battle will occur."

Pursing his lips together Koenma asked, "Yet why is it that you need our help, or rather the help of my Spirit Detectives?"

Sighing Kagome replied, "You see while I have ascended to a higher power than when I had last battled him I fear that he has in fact ventured so far as to sneak in to the boarders of hell and risen under his command a powerful legion of the undead. Not to mention that he is very crafty. He will not stain his hands by going out and fight with his army. No, he will send them out to try and weaken me, only then when he thinks that he would finally win will he come out from the shadows and take, what he thinks to be his right, my life. I will not be able to take care of my family and myself so closely to venture any errors that could cause a death among innocents that he will undoubtedly use against me just by myself. Which is why I need help. "

Looking down at Shippou she was easily able to see that he was reminiscing upon a life that seemed so far ago. One of a young and naive girl, a temperamental hanyou, perverted monk, a demon slayer, and a young fox kit. The days they spent with each other. The days that they fought with each other. And the tragedy that had befallen upon them just because of one hanyou. One single hanyou that was hell bent on becoming so powerful that he gave no thought on those that he had used as mere stepping stones. Stepping stones that he thought was the minimal sacrifice to give up just to get what he wanted.

The room was quiet with seriousness. Surprisingly though the first to actually break it was none other than Hiei. "You have said why you need us. To help you in an up coming battle against a foe of yours. Yet just exactly who is it that wants your life?"

Cocking her head lightly she asked him, "You know who I am. A protector, a fighter, a demon angel. Yet you mean to tell me that you have absolutely no knowledge of how I became this way?"

Hiei, along with Kurama, Koenma, Boton, and even Yukina, ones with knowledge of the demon world each shook their head no. " I suppose then that I should tell you my story. One of Adventure, tragedy, and in the very end love. This is my story of my life through my eyes. The way I fell only to be risen with the help of my good friends. The way had been so close to death and was saved by a demon only to lose him to death and his guilt. This is my story of the way I lived."

: I will not tell you the story. I think that it's something that you should use your imagination. That and the fact that its 1:30 in the morning. Hey guys! Just to let you know the POLL has officially ENDED!!
