Hmm... What will Kagome tell her long time friend about her two new children?

 

Summary: You love more than one person, but who do you choose? Kagome as always loved Inuyasha, but on a visit to her old friend she meets Hiei. Falling for him over the duration of the stay, but who does she choose, her new love Hiei or her first love Inuyasha? And Inuyasha has his own choice to make. The dead Kikyo or the living Kagome? Everyone seems to have their own choices to make! But when they make their choices, will it be too late?

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yuyu Hakusho or Inuyasha! I wish I did, but sadly... I don't.

 

Let's talk telepathy

It was getting late, so Yusuke offered to let the others stay at his house. It was big enough, so they accepted. Koenma paid quite well for him to continue working as a spirit detective. They were all paid for it now. From time to time, Hiei would disappear into the Makai to deal with something on Mukuro's orders, and Yusuke himself would sometimes have to do the same. Though it wasn't often, his 'father' took care of most everything.

 

They were all in their own rooms about to pass out when Yusuke got the call. "What the fuck do you want Koenma?"

 

"I have a mission for you. Do you know where the others are?"

 

"Yeah, they're in my house." He replied, becoming angry with the toddler. "Now what's this mission?"

 

"A demon has escaped into the Ningenkai, we're not sure on it's level though. It was almost undetectable, but someone saw it as it slipped past. I want you to find it and try to figure out what it wants."

 

"Fine, we'll get right on it in the morning. I have a friend over right now, and I don't wanna explain to her why we suddenly took off."

 

"You have a girl at your house?" The Reikai ruler asked in shock.

 

"Am I not allowed to?" Yusuke asked with a scowl before he hung up on the annoying prince.

 

"So we have a mission." A cold voice stated from the window.

 

"I think the answer's obvious Hiei." Sighing, the detective turned to look at the demon. "I have no clue what to tell Kagome either."

The guys all woke up the next morning to the smell of something delicious. Yusuke was the first to make it downstairs, and found his new house-guest cooking breakfast. "That smells wonderful Kag."

 

Kagome just shook her head at him. "Make sure your friends are up, it'll be done soon."

 

Nodding his head, he met Hiei and Kurama at the top of the stairs. "She made breakfast for us." With a nod, Kurama led Hiei downstairs for the meal. Yusuke continued on and entered one of his guest rooms. Kicking Kuwabara off the bed was quite funny, since the man shot up with a yelp after he hit the floor. "Kagome made food." Making their way back down to the kitchen, they found that even Hiei was going to eat. "Should I've gotten your kids up?"

 

"No, they'll be down in a minute."

 

"How do you know?" Kuwabara asked as he, too, sat down at the table.

 

"If the smell of breakfast woke Yusuke, then it definitely woke Shippo." Sure enough, the two came down about a minute later. Four little animals were following behind them as well. "Hungry?" All four animals and both children nodded an affirmative. "Good, sit down and everyone can eat."

 

They nodded and took their seats. Shippo sat next to Kurama and Rin sat next to Hiei (much to everyone's surprise). Kagome served them all minutes later. Hiei and Rin got their plates first, followed by Kurama and Shippo, then Yusuke and Kuwabara. She sat down beside Yusuke. "So Kag, how'd you get yet another kid?"

 

"Her guardian left her in my care. You see, she grew really attached to me and didn't want to leave, so he gave custody to me."

 

"How do you manage taking care of both?" Kuwabara piped up. "I'd think they'd be difficult, especially at your age."

 

"Unlike some people, I don't run from my responsibilities. I find it quite easy to take care of both of them, and Shippo is quite capable of taking care of himself. Both chose me to be their mother, and I happily excepted. Age doesn't mean that I am incapable of being a good one."

 

"I never said you weren't good, I was just stating that it must be difficult. I know that children normally don't listen is all." The 'baka' stated.

 

Sending a glare his way, she calmly stood. "Just because you don't do as you are told, does not mean my children do not listen. When it truly counts they do as told and without question. The only thing that Shippo has ever disobeyed me about was when I told him no more pocky! Now if you will excuse me I am leaving." With that she put her plate away and left the room.

 

As soon as she was out of sight, Yusuke turned to his friend and hit him. "Baka! You just had to piss her off!"

 

"How was I supposed to know that'd upset her?"

 

"Because she's a wonderful mother and you were challenging her skills." Shippo calmly stated as he stood. "I advise you not to do so again. While I may look young, I am quite strong and very capable of hurting you." And the the boy left also.

 

Now the little girl stood, walked over to the baka, and kicked him. "Ouch!"

 

"Rin doesn't like you being mean to mommy!" She returned to her seat beside Hiei and continued eating.

 

"Don't worry Rin, I'll make sure he's nice from now on." Yusuke said as he sent a death glare at his friend. The breakfast was finished quickly, but everyone enjoyed the food. Rin didn't speak again after what she said. It surprised Kagome to find out that she spoke at all. "Why's it so surprisin'?"

 

"Well, she normally doesn't talk much until she knows people. Then again if she thought Kuwabara was being mean she probably would blow up... She did when someone said something bad about Sesshou."

 

"Sesshou? Who's that?"

 

"He was her guardian. He and I are really good friends." Kagome explained. "Was there something you wanted to tell me? I noticed you guys were talking about something."

 

"Well, we were gonna go out because..."

 

He didn't get to finish because Kagome interrupted. "You don't have to tell me where you're going or anything. This is your house after all, and if I need anything, I do have a car.... though I think I should go to the store for you."

 

Yusuke laughed at that. "So you don't care if I disappear every now and then, it's kinda work and I sometimes have to leave short notice."

 

Kagome just smiled brightly. "I understand, and I don't mind. You wanna know a secret?"

 

"Sure Kags."

 

"I'm here to get away from a guy that I really like. Both my friend and I like him, but he can't decide between us. He really cares for us both and doesn't want to hurt either of us, but his first girlfriend's his first love, and I'm in a way his second. So I'm giving him time to decide. So don't worry about your disappearing, I expected to be at home without anyone to talk to anyways." She said with a giggle.

 

"Ok. How about I bring my girlfriend over to meet you later? I can even see if the other girls want to come over so you have some people to talk to."

 

Her smile became brighter as hugged him tighter. "That'd be wonderful Yuyu."

"So she didn't even ask where we were going?" Kuwabara asked, seemingly amazed.

 

"Nope. I was going to tell her something, but she told me she didn't care." Yusuke shrugged. "She said she wouldn't mind if I disappeared any time either."

 

"I would assume she'd be worried if you're as close as you say." Kurama stated.

 

"She's never really been the type to worry though. In fact, she used to giggle at me when I beat people up."

 

"Wow, she didn't care that you were a bully?" Kuwabara was again, amazed. (He's easily amazed...)

 

"Nope, she only cared that I was her friend."

"Where to momma?"

 

"Umm.... let's go to the park. I think there's a forest there that isn't visited very often. My grandmother should live around there." Kagome said as she looked at her son.

 

"Do we get to meet your grandmother?" Rin asked.

 

"I think we'll wait for a little while to visit her."

 

"Ok mommy!" "Sure momma."

 

The drive to the forest didn't take as long as she thought it would. The two kids and the animals happily got out of the car, which Kagome locked up, and headed deep into the forest. They didn't want to have to deal with many people today, so Kagome thought it best to find a nice clearing somewhere deeper inside the tree line. They finally came to a clearing that was about three miles into the forest. Sighing, Kagome relaxed back against a tree. "Be good and careful. We know demons are in this time. I'm going to meditate." When both children nodded, she relaxed into her meditation. Her powers slowly released and washed over the woods, the entire city even. It calmed everyone that it touched. It even started to purify a certain demon.

The yuyu gang were getting tired... ok, more like bored. "Are we ever gonna find this thing?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"Shut up baka. We'll find it soon." Yusuke said as the group of four continued on.

 

"I am not a baka! And how do you know that we'll find it soon?"

 

"It's up ahead." The detective stated with a smirk. They caught up to it and found it to be quite powerful. "Why are you in Ningenkai?"

 

"Careful Yusuke, it's shielding most of it's power." Kurama said as he pulled out his rose.

 

"I'm looking for someone." It stated.

 

"Who would that be?" Questioned the calm fox as he calculated his opponent.

 

"Junsui No Miko!" The demon exclaimed. "My master desires to meet with her." There was a wicked gleam in the demon's eyes.

 

Hiei and Kurama's eyes widened at that statement. "Junsui No Miko has been gone for centuries." The fox stated.

 

"Hai. She has, but my master says she is back. We can feel the power of the shikon, and even if you kill me, others will come."

 

So started their fight... bad thing is that they were losing. "How the hell is this guy so strong?!"

 

"I'm not sure Yusuke, but none of us will be able to continue at this pace." Kurama said as he calculated the battle.

 

All of them had taken hits, but their opponent was still unharmed. Just then a wave of power washed over them. "Do you guys feel that?" Kuwabara asked. He sounded dreamy.

 

The screams of the demon were heard, causing everyone's attention to turn back to him. His body was slowly being purified. "The Junsui No Miko!" It screamed. "He never said she was this powerful! She's not even close to here!" And he turned into a pile of ash.

 

"Who could've done that?" Yusuke asked as he looked with awe at the ashes.

 

"A miko." Hiei stated. "Though one would normally have to touch the demon."

 

"That and the fact that the energy was peaceful, not harmful. It would seem that the miko is a little ways away from here." Kurama said as he used the plants to find the person. "She's a ways into the forest actually."

Hearing screams, Kagome snapped out of her meditation. Carefully scanning her surroundings, she found nothing to be here besides the children and animals. Shippo's illusion was dropped and his tails and ears were out. Rin was having fun petting them, and Kirara also had her second tail visible. However, Kage seemed to be missing. Though Kagome knew she wouldn't go far. Sighing, she closed her eyes and tried to figure out where the screaming had come from. That's when the images popped up. Four people were fighting a demon and losing, then her power washed over it and destroyed it. Then, she saw Yusuke and his friends enter the forest...
