Identified

"Who cares, if your hungry, there's plenty of sandwiches." Kagome offered, as she took a
bite out of her tuna sandwich.
"So, you have no name?" asked Youko, unable to contain his curiosity.
"Everyone has a name." replied Kagome. "Just so happens no one knows mine."
"No one?" asked Youko skeptically.
"Fine, so there's a few people who knows my name, but they are either no where near here, or
dead." replied Kagome with a bright smile.
"I'll find out sooner or later." smirked Youko, coming up to the challenge.
"Yo, I thought you two weren't talking to each other. Now I'm the one left out of the
conversation." interrupted a forgotten Kuronue.
"Sorry." apologized Kagome.

~Inuyasha and Hiei~

"That bastard." muttered Inuyasha, as he vented his anger on a nearby tree. "I'll get him
back one of these days."
‘I'll be waiting' echoed Hiei's voice in Inuyasha's head.
"Wh-what the?" asked Inuyasha, as he looked around. "The anger must have got to me. I
wish Kikyou was here. Speaking of Kikyou, I wonder how's she doing without me."
"Probably better off without you." muttered a voice from below, as Inuyasha quickly
swerved his head to meet the speaker.
"What are you doing here!?" snarled Inuyasha, as he bared his fangs.
"I don't attend school. I was just going to see how Hiei was faring, but just so happened
to stumble up on you." replied Yusuke, as he yawned. "Where's Hiei?"
"Learning." replied Inuyasha with anger evident.
"That's nice." murmured Yusuke, "Catch ya guys later. WAIT! DID YOU SAY HIEI WAS
LEARNING?!"
"Human, that's what I said the first time. Something wrong with your ears!" demanded
Inuyasha.
"Well, excuse me, HALF-demon." snarled Yusuke, as he disappeared around the bend of
the street.
"How dare you!" yelled Inuyasha.
*boing*
"Keep quite!" shushed a teacher, just returning from the bathroom, as his shoe bounced
off Inuyasha's head. "Some people are actually trying to learn in this school."
"Feh." snorted Inuyasha.
"There just has to be a delinquent." muttered the teacher, as he disappeared into the
school building.

~Youko, Kuronue, and Kagome~

"Class, we will be taking a field trip to China." called out the history teacher. "We will be
there for 1 month. If you are interested in going, sign up, and bring in the money for it as soon as
possible."
"Kuronue, you going?" asked Youko.
"I don't know. Let me ask." replied Kuronue.
"Ask?" repeated Youko. "Who?"
"Um, will you be going to China?" Kuronue asked Kagome.
"Yea, sounds like fun." replied Kagome happily.
Kuronue turned to face Youko. "I'm going." replied Kuronue.
"Seems like I'll be going as well then." murmured Youko.
"Should we tell the others?" asked Kuronue.
"Why should we? We have no obligations." replied Youko.

~The day of departure~

"Ugh." grunted Katie, as she dragged her luggage. "Youko, will you so kindly as to help
me?" asked Katie gently. Youko acted as if he didn't hear a thing, as Kuronue was trying to
locate Kagome.
"Sorry I'm late." huffed Kagome, as Kuronue quickly took the luggage for her. "Thanks."
"No need." replied Kuronue.
"Hey, I didn't know you were coming." Kagome smiled at Youko. "Can't believe Mr.
Prideful actually came." Kuronue chuckled at the nickname, as Youko glared at them both. Katie
just felt angry and left out.
"Let's get a seat." squealed Kagome, after everything was taken care of. As soon as they
got on, Kuronue took the left edge seat, as Kagome took a seat next to Kuronue. Forcing Youko
to sit next to Kagome.
"Can I get you something to drink?" asked a young man, after the plane took flight.
"Yea, coke sounds good. Thank you." replied Kagome as she turned to face the attender.
"K-Kagome?" gasped the young man, as his eyes widened. "I thought you d-died!?"
Kagome averted his gaze.
"Uh, you must have mistaken me for someone else." replied Kagome, as she found her
hand to be very interesting.
"Kagome, did you forget me? It's me, Hojo! Did you really forget?" murmured the man
now identified as Hojo.
"Do you know each other?" asked Kuronue interrupting the conversation.
"Yes, Kagome dated me during highschool." replied Hojo, as he had a far away look on
his face.
"How old are you?" asked Youko, becoming interested.
"30." replied Hojo.
"And you two dated?" asked Youko with a smirk.
"Yes." replied Hojo, not knowing where Youko was going with this.
"Well, how old were you when you were dating her?" asked Youko.
"16." replied Hojo, as he quirked an eyebrow.
"So what your saying is you dated a 4 year old girl." summarized Youko, as Hojo gave
him a look saying are-you-crazy-what-are-you-talking-about.
"Here let me rephrase this." replied Kuronue. "Your 30. Kagome is 18. There is a 12 year
difference between you two. If you dated her at age 16, then Kagome would only be a 4 year old
girl. Get it?"
"Kagome's 18? That's not right, but she is definitely Kagome!" claimed Hojo.
"Okay, that's enough." cut in Youko, as he dismissed Hojo, as Kagome started getting
uncomfortable.
"Wanna tell us something?" asked Youko.
Kagome sighed and pouted. "Fine, I have been lying to you, sort of. My name is Kagome.
I did date Hojo at one point, and no, I was not 4 years old. I am a miko, ever since my 15
birthday, I have felt power surge through me. Not only that, it is also causing me to age
abnormally. Now, I don't even age anymore."
"No one knows about this, because no one will believe me. I needed to get away from the
people I knew, because they thought of me as a freak. I ran away from my family, never to return.
I tricked my classmates into believing I was killed in an accident." finished Kagome, as she
closed her eyes.
"Hm, then our mission is half done." stated Kuronue, as he smirked. "We have been
searching for you, Miko Kagome."
"I know you want me to do something, but can you wait until the China field trip is over?"
"Suit yourself." replied Youko, as he closed his eyes, but not really sleeping.
"But you might want to explain what you want me to do, as we have a lot of time on our
hands. It might even keep me entertained." smiled Kagome, as Kuronue started from the
beginning. Youko listened, but made no indication that he was awake.
"Yes, I know your demons." replied Kagome. "I am a miko, you know?"
"That's a comforting thought." muttered Youko, as he became silent again.

~Inuyasha and others~

"They what!?" yelled Inuyasha.
"Hn." snorted Hiei.
"They went on a field trip to China with their school." repeated Yusuke, as he folded his
hands behind his head.
"Cool!" cried Kuwabara, as Yusuke sent a lump to his head.
"This is just great. We ask for their help, and they go off to vacation to pray to some stone
images before the mission even started. I'll never get back to Kikyou at this rate!" yelled Inuyasha
furiously.
