Slowly the girl within his arms calmed and curled closer to him. "So all this ended a month ago?"

 

"Unless Naraku's still alive, hai. The well sealed when I brought everyone through."

 

"And the jewel?"

 

Slowly, Kagome reached for her neck, and pulled a pink gem from inside her shirt. "Kaede taught me a spell to conceal it's aura, so it's always with me. I never let it leave my sight."

 

Hiei realized something, she had just shown him the thing that's caused her so much trouble and not been afraid to do so. "Aren't you scared I'll try taking it?"

 

Kagome smiled sadly. "No. You explained earlier that it's a dishonorable way to get power. I don't think you're interested in it. Now care to explain about these other worlds?"

 

"Care to get out of my lap?" Hiei asked with a smirk.

 

Kagome blushed, but tightened her hold on him. "Actually, I do. I feel safe in your arms and I'm not going anywhere." Leaning her head against his shoulder, she sighed in content.

 

Hiei was shocked at that. She actually wanted to be touching him! Didn't she know what he was? That he was forbidden? "Onna, don't you know what I am?"

 

"A male youkai."

 

Hiei smirked a little. "I meant what kind of youkai I am."

 

"Umm... A cute one who isn't a thousand times taller than me like all the others are?"

 

He chuckled at that. "I'm half fire half ice."

 

Kagome snuggled closer. "Fire, so that's why you're so warm. The ice must be the reason for your cold attitude."

 

"You don't care that I'm forbidden?" He asked curiously.

 

"Why should I? You're not forbidden in my opinion." He stared at her in shock. "How about we get back to there being more than one world?"

 

He nodded. "Three centuries ago, Reikai stepped in and created the three worlds. They split Ningenkai from Makai and put Reikai in between them. They then began moving the demons to Makai and that allowed everyone to have their own world. The worlds are separated by a barrier. Sometimes a demon breaks into human world, or a human passes through the barrier to demon world. The spirit detectives then have to kill the demons and save the humans."

 

"You, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kazuma are the detectives?" Hiei nodded. "Anything else I should know... like why Kurama has two auras?"

 

Hiei smirked. "He used to be a spirit kitsune, he was killed and used the last of his strength to send his soul to ningenkai where he took over the body of an unborn human baby. Both Shuichi and Youko are inside."

 

"What kind of demon is Yusuke? I believe I recognize the energy from somewhere, but I can't remember exactly from where."

 

"He is Mazoku."

 

Kagome's eyes widened at that statement. "Like Raizen!"

 

"You know Raizen?"

 

"Is he still alive? He was really nice when I met him!"

 

"Yes, and he's the northern lord."

 

Kagome yawned a little and snuggled even closer to Hiei's body. She was getting pretty tired... she hadn't really been sleeping well this past month. She hadn't really been eating much either. "I wonder if anyone else I know is still alive." She said tiredly as she slowly let herself fall asleep in the fire demon's arms.

She awoke in her bed a few hours later. The reason was that she sensed two demonic auras rising, it felt like a battle. Rin was in her arms, so she carefully rose from the bed, girl still cradled to her, and walked to her window. She saw that Hiei and Yusuke were fighting, but they may have been sparing.

 

Making a quick decision, she laid Rin down and changed her clothes, then slowly woke Rin. The little girl happily complied to being awoken and dressed in her old kimono. Kagome smiled and grabbed her keys to the dojo. "We're gonna go see if the boys wanna use the dojo, ok?"

 

"Hai momma." Rin nodded.

 

Kagome walked over to her closet and grabbed her weapons. She was finally going to use what her father gave her, so she'd be putting the weapons in there. Rin decided that she wanted to bring the pelt and fur boa. She wrapped the boa around her and held the fox pelt in her arms with a small smile.

 

Kagome strapped Hiraikotsu to her back, the swords to her side, and grabbed Miroku's staff and the tajiya outfit as well as the monk's glove. Grabbing a backpack that had something special within, she called out for Kirara. The little neko appeared and transformed upon seeing her weapons. Rin walked over and picked up the bow and arrows. "Can't forget these mommy."

 

Kagome nodded and helped the girl onto the feline's back. "Let's go out the window so we're not seen."

 

"Ok momma." Rin said as she held tighter to Kirara as Kagome climbed on, and the cat soared out her open window.

 

Down below, the guys noticed. "Isn't that Kagome's neko?" Yusuke asked, looking up at it.

 

"I believe it is detective."

 

They noticed as the cat descended, that it had two passengers. The two girls had come out. She smiled slightly at them. "You know, people can see you if you practice here."

 

"Where else would we practice?" Yusuke asked.

 

Kagome smiled and pointed to the dojo. "In there."

 

"I don't have a key."

 

"I do." She said as she held it up. "Rin and I are gonna fix it up, feel free to train inside while we do."

 

The two guys looked at each other and nodded as Kirara took flight and headed for the building. They both turned and followed. Kagome slid off the neko's back and even though she was carrying Sango's heavy weapon, she managed to open the door. Rin also looked inside. "It looks kinda plain momma."

 

"Well, we'll just have to paint it." She commented back before turning to the guys. "You'll be the first ones to have actually used this place. Have fun."

 

Yusuke was looking around when she told him that. The building was a lot larger than he thought it would be, it was even bigger than Genkai's dojo. "I'm sure we will." He says with a smirk.

 

Kagome simply shook her head at them and walked inside after the two. Setting the weapons down, she turns and closes the door so no one can get in. "Look momma!" Rin exclaimed, so she turned and saw something amazing.

 

Hiei and Yusuke were going head to head in an all out battle. Yusuke was landing punches and Hiei was blocking, then it turned the other way around. Both boys had seemingly forgotten that the two girls and the neko were there. Kagome gasped when they transformed. Hiei's jagan was unwarded and his skin turned green as eyes opened all over his mid section.

 

Yusuke's hair grew long as he sprouted fangs and claws. Numerous markings appeared and scored his entire body. Cocking her head to the side, she looked at them both, before her eyes grew wide. Her miko powers started to flare when she felt it.

 

The two boys who were sparring, stopped and stared at her. They had forgotten that she was in the room. She seemed almost terrified, and both thought it was because of them. Yusuke gulped as he transformed back to his human self and looked at her. "Kagome?"

 

Hearing her name sent her into action. "Kirara get the boys! RIn stay here!" She grabbed her bow and quiver as she turned to run outside.

 

"What the hell?" Yusuke questioned.

 

Minutes later, Kirara appeared with three boys on her back. Souta fell off, and Kohaku managed to slip off. "Why are we up?" Souta whined from the ground.

 

Shippo suddenly perked up and began growling. "There's a youkai nearby... momma must've wanted us together."

 

Rin's eyes shot open suddenly and she ran to Hiei. Kohaku noticed and looked at her. "What's wrong?"

 

"K-kagura." She gasped out as she held on tighter to the fire demon.

 

All boys immediately snapped to attention. Souta bolted from the floor and grabbed two of the katanas from the dojo, Kohaku also grabbed one, and Shippo dove for Tokijin. "Who's Kagura?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Wind demoness, and oldest of Naraku's 'children'. Since she hates him, we may not have to fight her, but you never know." Answered Shippo.

Kagome ran to a clearing and saw Kagura there. She wore a solemn expression. "Kagome." She said, bowing her head.

 

Stunned for a moment, it took Kagome a few minutes to return the gesture. "Kagura. What brings you here? How'd you find me?"

 

"You're lucky that I'm the only one who has." The demoness said with a smile, then she looked around the clearing. "I came to warn you. Naraku has attacked your family, but I just found out and it's too late to do anything. He's searching for you, he found out that you're still alive. Demons will be coming for you, knowing that you possess the jewel."

 

"How does he know I'm alive?"

 

"He found out through some villagers and tried the well, but found out it was closed. He felt your power not long ago, and realized you were back."

 

Suddenly, Kagome's eyes widened. "My family's been attacked?!"

 

"Yes, and they're probably dead. I needed to warn you, so that you could protect the jewel. You need to find a way to get rid of it."

 

Kagome nodded with tears in her eyes. "I will. Thank-you Kagura..." She turned to leave, but stopped suddenly. "Meet me here in two days, ok?"

 

"Why?"

 

"So I can free you. I believe I know how, but it has to be on the full moon."

 

Kagura's eyes widened. "You'll free me?"

 

"Only if you'll help me." Kagome said with a smile.

 

Kagura slowly smiled and nodded. "Of course I will."

Kagome had slowly made her way back to the dojo. She didn't notice that someone was calling her name until Rin and Shippo tackled her. That's when they all noticed the tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry Souta... I'm so sorry." She said as she began full on crying.

 

"Wh-what are you sorry about sis?"

 

"I... Naraku found the shrine... It's my fault for coming back..."

 

Understanding kicked in and Souta fell to his knees next to his sister. "Momma... grandpa..." Then what she said kicked in and he hugged her. "I'm glad you came back, this would've happened anyway Kagome." Souta said soothingly.

A few hours later found Souta, Kohaku, Shippo, Rin, and Kirara all curled up against Kagome on her bed. She was still awake, but didn't want to move to get up. What she needed to do was train. Sighing, she maneuvered her way out from under everyone and headed for the door, but was stopped by a small voice. "You're not leaving, are you momma?"

 

Smiling slightly, Kagome walked back over to the bed. "I was just going to go do a little training in the dojo. Wanna come train your powers too?"

 

"Hai." Rin said quietly as she freed herself from the covers and boys. She quickly dressed and the two snuck outside and into the still open dojo, which the boys also happened to be in. They were still sparing.

 

"Want to watch them before we start training?"

 

"Hai. We can see how strong they are." Rin said happily.

 

They watched the boys exchange blows whilst in demon form. It seemed that they were both taking the battle seriously, as they both were injured. They hadn't even noticed that either of the girls had entered the building. Which was actually not a good thing considering the demons who were after herself. Shaking her head at them, she turned back to Rin. "We need to set up wards. I have four to set up, you choose where we'll practice."

 

"Hai momma." Rin said as she moved to look around.

 

Kagome placed one ward at each corner of the dojo and formed a barrier. No one noticed it because the barrier wasn't exactly a barrier. It simply kept the powers within it undetectable. When she was done, she made it over to Rin. "I want you to try to meditate, ok?"

 

"Hai." The little girl said as she fell into a meditate pose. Her eyes closed as her body slowly relaxed. A pale pink glow surrounded her body as she joined with her powers and trained within her mind. Her powers slowly seeped out and filled the building.

 

Apparently the guys noticed because they stopped their match to look over at her. "Wow, the kid has power!" Yusuke exclaimed as he looked at her.

 

With a smile, Kagome relaxed into her own pose. "My turn." Her own body relaxed as a swirling mass of color surrounded her. As her aura filled the room, both boys backed away. The power seemed raw and untamed as it circulated throughout the air. Pulsating in time with her heartbeat. Slowly her aura became stable as it was tamed. When her eyes opened, they had a white glow and were silver. They returned to being blue as she pulled her aura back inside.

 

"How are you that powerful?!" Yusuke demanded as well as asked as he looked at her.

 

When her eyes returned to sapphire, she looked at him. "I'm not powerful. I'm weak." She sighed as she turned to Rin. "Alright sweetie."

 

Rin's eyes opened slowly, and they were pale pink. The glow slowly faded as her aura shifted into a calm state. "Did I do good momma?"

 

Smiling happily she nodded. "Yes, you did very good." Turning to the weapons case, she pulled out a short bow and a long bow as well as some arrows. "Time to train with weapons. Pour your energy into the arrow as you fire it."

 

"Ok momma."

 

The two guys came over to her. Yusuke decided to find out more about her. "What weapons do you know how to use?"

 

"A lot." Was her answer as she moved to Hiraikotsu. A thought hit her and she smirked as she stopped. "Will you get that for me?" She asked as she pointed to the bone boomerang.

 

"Sure." He walked over and picked it up, almost falling over in the process. "This thing's heavy."

 

The miko giggled as she walked over to him and lifted it with ease. That caused her step-brother to gawk at her. Shaking her head, she moved a little ways from them and lifted the weapon behind her. Twirling it over her head, she loosed the deadly weapon and it shot forward. Yusuke yelled for her to watch out when it circled and came back to her. Giggling more, she raised her hand and caught the flying weapon. The weight of which forced her back a bit. "Useful, no?"

 

"What the hell is it made of?"

 

"Demon bone." Was her simple reply as she tossed it again.
