Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Replaying History In More Than One Way ❯ Meetings and a test ( Chapter 4 )

Hello, I'm back again. Sorry for the long wait. I wanted to do another chapter of Journey Through Time and Space (aka JTTS) so that MorwenMagegirl wouldn't kill me for forgetting… as well as Hellblazer whom threatened to light a fire under me if I didn't write a chapter soon…

I figure I should answer only some reviews for this now, since it might get troublesome later on. I'll make sure to mention everyone though.

InuKitsuneMiko: I've had lots of practise; trust me. I write every now and then though, not all at once. I was looking at attacks for Kurama, I had chosen Sango and Miroku, and I looked at the fact that Inu's a hanyou and Kurama's similar to him in that light. I was looking at more than personality. I looked at your fanfic and it's not that bad… don't give up hope ^_^.

Oh, by the way:me gurl, Phat Santa, Lil *Inu* babe, Kuramasangel, deathdemon, sesshysvixen, ..oppo, heartbreaker, booooommmmm!!!!!!, starseiga and lilsoccademon. Why do I have this ominous feeling that you're all the same person? Besides the fact that I got all of your e-mail within, oh… about one minute between each other and you're asking for Kur/Kag for all of them… like I said before I'll have to get kicked very hard to even do a pairing and I'd likely have to be pushed off a cliff to do Kur/Kag. I like the pairing but I have an idea for Hiei/Kag but now I'm drifting to the no pairings because it'll make life simpler for me.

Thanks to: Kibeth, Kappa-chan, Hellblazer, Sango-chan94549 and NIIIIIICE as well and anyone else I may have missed.

Chapter 4- meetings and a test

Kurama walked down the quiet hallway, until he came to the door where the scent ended. Kurama paused and then entered quietly. Her room was quiet and simple. There wasn't anyone in sight, and yet her scent said quite clearly that she was indeed in her room. He closed the door as quietly as he opened it and then continued to search for Kagome. He passed what he presumed to be the entrance to the kitchen when he heard a familiar `twang' of a bowstring being released.

Kurama turned his head slightly to see just the tip of an arrow coming from the right. At that moment, deciding that he would prefer to die at a later time in life. Youko gained possession of the body while Kurama was in shock, the change happened soon enough that Youko was able to jump backwards and avoid the main attack. The arrow however still grazed his nose, and somehow it burnt him. In danger of death again unless he gave up possession of the body and Youko receded into Shuiichi's soul. Immediately after Kurama inspected the arrow, which was imbedded in the wall; but there didn't seem to be anything remotely supernatural about it now.

"Oh, Kurama! Why couldn't you knock like normal people?" she yelled. Kurama grimaced, at both being scolded for an evident mistake and the fact that his nose was burnt quite badly. This girl was definitely not normal, despite her looks. Her gaze was drawn to his face after his grimace. Her face changed from annoyance to startlement (AN: I'm not sure if that's a real word but if it isn't then it is now.)

"Oh, so you did get hit, I can heal it if you like, as well as your injuries from your fight," the girl offered as she came out of the room.

Kurama backed away with his hands in front of him, showing that he didn't wish to be healed and shook his head.

""No, it's all right, I'll heal soon," he stated. The girl seemed to hunch slightly, and seemed to accept defeat. Kurama relaxed slightly and let his arms fall to his sides, in that time she appeared in front of him (AN: she was about two steps away from him. The room's fairly small.) and put a finger on his nose and a hand on his wrist. A soft blue light concentrated on her hands, then dissipated. When she backed away, Kurama could no longer feel any injuries that he had just a minute ago.

"So I doubt you're here to just say hello, why did you decide to visit?" she demanded, crossing her arms.

"We believed that some demons may have sought after your life and we thought that you had no methods of protection. However, that assumption has been shot out the window as they say," he admitted.

~You think she might be the one we're looking for? ~

-No, a human lifetime isn't that long and her smell is purely human. -

~Koenma has withheld information before or changed it somewhat. The only way for us to be sure is by asking her. ~ Kurama sighed. Having two personalities wasn't very fun, even though it did have more advantages.

"If you don't mind me asking, what are your abilities?" Kurama asked, looking pointedly at the arrow.

The girl paused for a while,

"My specialities lie with my abilities to purify, heal and sense demons. My sensory powers still need work though. I can sense what type of demon I see sometimes. I can't heal and purify within a day unless I do very little of one or the other." She then turned and looked like she was about to go back into the kitchen.

~Test her Shuiichi~ Kurama thought about how to approach this `test' then he and Youko agreed on a question.

If you looked at me with your sensory powers what would you see?" he asked. The girl turned around and looked over Kurama, but not exactly looked at him.

"I see a male kitsune and an inu hanyou behind you," she told him.

"Last question and then I'll leave." She looked at him expectantly, waiting.

"Who are you?" She turned back around, silent. Kurama thought that she wouldn't answer and just as he was about to leave, she answered him.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi, a few years ago I may have given you more information, but I'm afraid I cannot currently do that." Kurama smiled, and opened the door.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Kagome-sama. We'll meet again." With those words he left.

(I thought about leaving it here, but I thought that I shouldn't ^_^)

~*~*~*~

When Kurama entered the reikai tantei's room he was immediately bombarded by questions from two of his teammates.

"She's fine by herself Yusuke," Kurama interrupted the punk before he could finish asking the question.

"What happened?" Yusuke demanded.

"Will she remove this necklace?" Kuwabara pleaded, tugging at the rosary.

"I doubt that she will remove it until she deems that you've rearranged your manners Kuwabara. I have some information on her now, her name and abilities," Kurama answered swiftly.

"Che, what powers could a weak ningen like her possibly possess?" Hiei commented. Kurama glanced at him.

"She's a miko Hiei, she could kill us easily. Youko also believes that Kagome is the one that we're supposed to look for." Hiei's only reply was to cock an eyebrow. Yusuke snorted and Kuwabara's face just yelled `It's April Fool's day isn't it?' at this tidbit of Information.

"You're saying that this girl could kill two of the most renowned demons in Makai?" Yusuke said disbelievingly.

"It would depend," Kurama sighed, sitting down on a sofa. "I suppose if her reflexes and speed were good enough to get within arm's reach, then yes. Do you remember that flash in the top priority box?"

"No way a girl could do that!" Kuwabara yelled.

~*~Kagome's POV~*~

I'd decided to check up on Kurama, just to see how all of the team members reacted. Then I heard a very familiar voice say

"No way a girl could do that!" Well, I certainly didn't allow Inuyasha to call me names, so why would I let him? After all, Kurama should have told them my name by now.

"Shut up, my name is Kagome,"

~*~ End POV~*~

As Kuwabara smashed into the ground yet again, the rest of the team turned around to see the girl, now identified as Kagome leaning against the doorframe. Hiei rested his hand on his katana. In reply, Kagome lifted up her hands showing that she was unarmed.

"From what Kurama said, you're as deadly with your hands as with a weapon," Yusuke retorted at her gesture. Kagome simply kicked up an eyebrow.

"Would you take my word for it then?" she asked.

`I don't take anyone's word' Hiei told Kurama.

"Hiei doesn't," Kurama sighed. Kagome looked at him, silently as if she was debating with herself.

"Why won't Hiei speak for himself? Would it have something to do with why he hates his father?" Kagome asked. The next moment a katana pressed against her throat.

"HIEI!" Kurama exclaimed.

Hiei simply ignored him.

"I'd watch your step miko, otherwise you won't have a head left to formulate those thoughts," Hiei growled. Kagome just smiled, she could see why Sesshoumaru chose him, he was almost exactly like him; and yet it also brought up more questions.

"At least you're talking to me now," Kagome replied. Hiei pressed down on his Katana, a thin trickle of blood began to flow.

Why is it that all my eventual allies and friends try to kill me first? Kagome asked herself. Hiei unfortunately heard this thought and his eyes flashed.

"I would rather jump into freezing water than allying myself with a weak ningen girl!" he growled. He removed his katana from her throat and flicked the blood off it before sheathing it and retreating into the shadows.

"I've heard worse names," Kagome commented. Kuwabara finally peeled himself off the floor.

"I feel sorry for whoever had this damn necklace before," Kuwabara muttered.

"Who the hell are you?" Yusuke demanded. Kagome opened her mouth to answer, before swivelling around in the direction of the arena.

"Sorry, I have to go," she replied. Then she ran to her room.

~*~ Kagome's POV~*~

I felt Naraku's miasma, but this time I'm certain that it's the real one. I ran to get my bow and arrows. I know that I'm just running into a trap, but I can't let the Shikon no Tama become corrupted again! Even if I have to shatter the jewel again! Onigumo's offer will not be in vain.

~*~End POV~*~

*~*Flashback~*~

"I wish to make up for my mistake, and all the trouble that it has caused you, please let the jewel be burnt with my remains," Onigumo whispered, just as he died.

*~*End Flashback~*~

Well, it was short, but it seems like it's actually going faster than I meant it too, ah well. It's still probably going to be fairly long. I meant for there to be more battles in the tournament, until… well until what's going to happen next chappie. That one's probably going to be short too though.
