[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

hey!!!!!!!




Hey sorry for the wait. My internet shutdown. I haven't gotten that many reviews but whatever. I decided that I wasn't going to abandon this story because it was fun to do. Plus anytime I try to look at my reviews it says that I have only ten but I know that I have at least thirteen. You probably don't care but oh well. That's if you have even bothered to read this little authors not. Which I bet you didn't. But again whatever. The vote's may be little screwed because I can't seem to get to see my review's. So some of them aren't accurate. Sorry if this is an inconvenience for you. I know it is for me. I should probably shut up now. You want the story. Not me. Even though I'm very beautiful. : ) Oh, and I decided to make Kagome a youkai. I know which one too. I think. And if you guys don't know who she is going to meet, then your really stupid. But most people are, so I guess it is alright. I have a really gothic sense of humor.

I have decided not to make a Botan/Kurama/Youko because, well frankly, I don't like them. Botan doesn't seem like the one for Kurama. You know. You probably don't but I don't care what you think, or in this case, know. So like, there. Oh and I forgot about poor Yukina. How can I do that. I'm so mean. pu pu. I really should start this story.

She had been walking for day's now. She didn't think it would take this long. She was tired, hungry, and in need of companionship. She wasn't used to walking alone like this. Usually she was on Inuyasha's back. That was why she needed to be stronger. So she wouldn't need to go to Inuyasha for help. And that was why she was going to meet Lord Sesshomaru.




Kagome looked at the setting sun. This was the fourth day. Four days ago she left the camp. Sometimes she wished she took Shippo but knew that they would find out faster that she was still in the Feudal Era. Shippo couldn't go through the well. They would most likely think that she saw Inuyasha with Kikyo again and went home crying. She would let them believe that. Next time she met them she would be a changed person. Well that was if Sesshomaru agreed to train. And if he didn't then, well, she would be dead. She gulped. She didn't like that option.




She readjusted her black bag pack strap and continued on her way. If she kept going at this pace she would be at the castle in a few a hours. Her black combat boots trudged on trough the mud as her face was set into a facade of determination. She was going to do this. If he decides that he wants to kill her then she was going to have to convince him otherwise. She had to convince that she was a worthy student.




She swept her long hair into a high ponytail and hopped over a fallen tree. With her new resolve, her steps were more steady and quick. She was going to do this, no matter how hard it was.






____________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________






Sesshomaru was patrolling his lands, with Rin and Jaken trailing behind him, when he smelled that wench of Inuyasha's. What surprised him was that his half brother wasn't with her. He didn't like to be surprised and he wanted answers. No one else in her group was with her either. That was most strange. He flew down to see what she wanted and stood behind her.




'' What do you want here wench '', he stated in that monotone voice of his,'' These are my lands, and I order you to leave ''. He watched as she jumped at the sound of his voice. Raising an eyebrow when she turned around, he let that be the only emotion he showed on his face. Just because he was curious didn't mean he had to show it.




Kagome bowed and when she straightened up she looked him straight in the eye. She didn't find it that hard. It was fairly easy. His calm facade was still on.




'' Sesshomaru '',she started, '' I have come to request something of you. In exchange I will teach Rin what she needs to know about womanhood and I'll be her guardian and watcher when you are not able to or on a business. I have long since seen that Jaken can't do it properly.'' When Rin heard her name she looked up from picking flowers and ran over to Kagome. She smiled her brightest at her and handed her the flowers.




'' Hi. Rin's name's Rin. These flowers are for you. What's your name pretty lady.'' Kagome blinked down at the little child in front of her and smiled a happy smile. The first one since she last talked to Shippo. It was nice to have a child around again.




'' My name's Kagome '',she said cheerfully, '' Thank you for the flowers. There really beautiful. Just like you ''. She tweaked Rin's noise and laughed as she blushed a pale pink. '' It's true you know. You are a pretty little thing. Your like the princesses in my fairytale books. One day I'll read you one.'' She winked at her and straightened up to look at Sesshomaru.




Sesshomaru was so confused. This just didn't make sense. You enemy's didn't just come walking in to your lands asking for something you didn't know and then playing with your ward. It just wasn't possible. The book 'What your enemy's will say or do' didn't state that. Trust me. He had read it over two hundred times in his five hundred years. Again, this wasn't possible. Outside he just looked calm. But inside he was ready to pull his hair out and scream in a fit. He watched her straighten to look at him. She seemed to be waiting for his answer.




'' If you tell me what you want me to help you with, I may take you up on your offer. Rin does need help in what you call ' womanhood' problems. She seems to like you and Jaken can't take of her properly.'' At this Jaken opened his mouth to speak but all that came out was a squeak when Sesshoumaru's fist came crashing down on his ugly green head, rendering him unconscious. Kagome giggled into her hand while Rin did it out loud. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow again.




Kagome ceased her giggling and prepared herself for what she was about to say. She didn't know what to expect from the Lord of the Western Lands. She was scared to see what his response was. '' I am asking, in exchange for watching over Rin and keeping her safe, is for you to train me. I want to be able to take care of myself and my son without anyone's help. Especially Inuyasha's. He has ridiculed me and called me weak. I am tired of it and want to show him that I am stronger then him or his clay pot will ever be.'' She said it with such conviction that Sesshomaru was shocked. The was the third time in under ten minute's. This was surely not good for his health.




She was prepared for taunting on how she wouldn't ever be strong enough. For her head to be off her neck and on the floor, rolling around as if it were a bowling ball. She was not prepared for him putting his one good hand on her shoulder awkwardly. Sesshomaru cleared his throat, as if he didn't know what to say, which was out of character, and looked at her as if she were crazy.




''Are you mad, woman? Did my stupid half-brother set you up to this. This isn't funny. It really isn't. I always knew that you were a little out there, but this is just crazy. You don't just come asking you enemies if they can train you. It is just impossible.'', Sesshomaru said expertly,'' You are crazy.''




Kagome was completely stunned. Was that Sesshomaru that just called her crazy. Surprise quickly took way to anger as she recalled him calling her woman. Now that was not acceptable. '' My name is Kagome. Say it with me. KaGoMe. Not woman, wench, or any other degrading thing you could think of.'' While saying this she was emphasizing each word with her finger, hitting his muscled chest. She came back from fury land and realized what she'd done. But didn't take away her finger or take her gaze away from his. She was to proud to.




Sesshomaru raised a perfectly thin eyebrow. This young one had spunk. Perhaps he could take her in as a student. Rin liked her. Though he didn't want to admit it, her little bout of anger scared him. And the prayer beads she had his brother wear. He almost shuddered at the thought but refrained himself. Wouldn't want to show a weakness, now, would he. That would be unacceptable. '' I will train you. But you will have to do the things you said you would. But also one more thing.'' He paused waiting for her reaction. It was of expectance, as if she would do anything. '' I want you to become a youkai. If you don't, then I don't train you.''




Kagome stifled a gasp. She never thought that he would ask her that. Could she do it? She could. But would she do it? That wasn't something she could answer right away. She had always wanted to be youkai. Wanted to know how Inuyasha and Shippo felt each and every day of their lives. How it felt like to be able to do things other people could not. Speaking of Shippo, she could finally become his mother. His real mother, not his adopted one. That was all she always wanted. She had made her decision.




'' Sesshomaru'', she said calmly, '' If I have to become a youkai for you to be able to train me then I'll do it.'' She knew that things would be different now. Knew that this wasn't what she planned. But it was alright. She'd get through it. She had her shiny piece of glass, didn't she?




Sesshomaru was impressed. Most people wouldn't have even hesitated. They would have immediately said no. Maybe it wasn't such a burden training her to be a killing machine. And he would benefit out of it. He would be the one to make that killing machine. And, he would have someone to do his hair. It was starting to gat a little fussy.

Yusuke was mad. It was supposed to be his day off. Instead he was going to see that stupid toddler again. Hell, he didn't even get paid for this job. And, let me tell you, it wasn't that easy either. Now he was off on this stupid cloud, with stupid Botan, going to the stupid toddler. And Botan was humming too !




When he got to Koenma's office, he saw that everyone was already there. Why was he always last ? He decided to voice this out loud. The practical Kurama answered him.




'' Because, Yusuke, we know when we have to work. You, on the other hand, are to lazy to come on time.'' Kurama was not in a good mood. This was supposed to be there day off. But nooooo. They had to work. He hoped this was a fast mission. The last thing he needed was blood on his knew school uniform.

( A little touchy Red ?)

# Nothings wrong Youko. I'm just tired of having to explain to the school on why I have to get a knew uniform every other week. #

( Just tell them the one you always do. Your fan girls tore it up when they grabbed for you. It works every time. )

# Oh, yes. I forgot about that one. #




'' Now that all of you are here, I have to tell you of your next mission. This isn't of any youkai sightings or anything. It's about finding someone. Someone very important.''
Koenma was very nervous about what he was about to say. He didn't know what they were going to say. What Yusuke was going to say. Koenma shivered. Now that was scary. He came out of his little reverie when he heard Kurama clear his throat politely. '' Now. This person your looking for is going to be going to Yusuke's school. Kurama, you'll be transferred there for the time being. You to Hiei. We need all of you there for this case.'' He looked around the room and saw the shocked looks of the occupants. So far, so good.




'' This person is a powerful being. More powerful then even Yusuke.'' Again everyone was shocked. '' They are being sought after by an evil youkai trying to use there power to be even more powerful then they already are.'' Koenma clicked on his remote and a picture entered the screen. It was of a man with long dark, brown hair that went to mid back. He had sinister gray eyes that showed malice and deceit. His lips were curved into a cruel smirk; his skin a pale white. This guy was definitely the definition of evil. Like, Freddy Krueger evil. '' This is the man who is after the person.'' Kurama and Hiei noticed that he wouldn't give away the person's gender. What was Koenma hiding ? '' His name is Hikoku ''.




'' He has a long criminal record in the Rekai. He is a coward that sends other people to do his dirty work. He is trying to absorb enough power to rule the Makai. Most of the Northern parts are already his. He just needs the rest.'' Koenma took a deep breath. He had been talking for a long time. '' And, this is the person he is after.'' Koenma clicked his remote again. What he was going to say after this he knew they weren't going to like. On the screen, it showed a young girl, maybe about sixteen or seventeen. She was beautiful. Her blue-black hair fell down to her lower back with a casual air. Her smile was filled with happiness and joy. But it also had a tint of sadness in it, as if something went wrong for her somewhere. Her skin had a glowing tan that was without a blemish or scar. Her eyes were different, though. Most Japanese people didn't have blue eyes, but she did. They were like sapphire's that had just been washed. It was just like her smile, though. Happy and sad. It made you wonder what happened to her.




'' This girl is Kagome Higurashi '', Koenma said quietly, '' She is the last miko in existence and is the Guardian of The Shikon No Tama.'' At this , Kurama and Hiei gasped. The Shikon was the most powerful artifact in all the three worlds. Most thought it was just a myth. She must be really powerful. '' I see Kurama and Hiei know of this jewel '', Koenma said, '' I shall tell you the story of it. It is a long one. There was a miko named Midiroku. She was said to be the most powerful miko of all time, but that is not true. For Kagome is the most. Anyway, back to the story. The youkai were afraid that Midiroku would eventually wipe them out, so they banded together to destroy her. It ended up that Midiroku was against hundreds of youkai. She killed many of them, her faithful fire-neko by her side. But in the end it was her against three youkai. Midiroku didn't have enough power to defeat them so she cast her soul out of her body, hoping to purify them with it, but it didn't go as planned. Instead, her soul took the youkai souls and all four souls made the Shikon. Jewel of Four Souls.'' Yusuke and Kuwabara gaped in amazement, while Hiei Kurama filed that information to their minds.




'' Hey, Koenma '', Kuwabara said stupidly, '' What's a miko ? '' Hiei took this opportunity to hit him over the head. He never got tired of doing that. Kurama just shook his head in amusement.




'' A miko, Kuwabara, is a human with spiritual power that can purify youkai. Purify means to burn them from inside. They are sworn enemies of all youkai. I haven't finished my story. Where was I. Oh, yes. Humans knew that the jewel could increase a youkai's power one hundred fold. It could also grant a wish. But it had to be a pure one. If it wasn't then the wisher would live a life full of misery and destruction. The taijyi village decided to take care of the jewel, but soon regretted it as youkai came to try to claim it. They handed it over to a strong miko named Kikyou. Kikyou didn't want the burden of the jewel but knew it was her responsibility.




'' One day, a hanyou named Inuyasha came to steal the jewel to become a full youkai.'' At this Hiei snorted. Koenma glared at Hiei and continued. '' He didn't get it so he came back the next day and so forth. Kikyou found this amusing and soon they became friends. They then fell in love. While Kikyou was guarding the jewel she found an injured bandit named Onigumo. As she cared for him he lusted after her and fed his body to dead youkai so he could become a hanyou. He knew of Inuyasha and thought that if he couldn't have Kikyou than no one can. And he could get the Shikon the way.





Kikyou had asked Inuyasha to turn human for her so that they could be together. Plus the Shikon would not be a burden for her anymore. Kikyou loved Inuyasha, but she loved being free more. The day they had been scheduled to meet, Inuyasha betrayed Kikyou.'' Yusuke was about to comment on that but Koenma held up his hand. '' Only it wasn't Inuyasha who betrayed her, it was Onigumo disguised as him. He called himself Naraku now. Kikyou didn't know that though. Naraku did the same to Inuyasha and Inuyasha decided to steal the jewel. The real Kikyou found him, but she was injured by an attack from Naraku. With the last of her strength she shot an arrow at him and sealed him to a tree. She told her sister to burn the Shikon with her body so that no one else would have to feel it's burden. She didn't know that it would reincarnate itself. Kikyou died.'' That story always had Koenma on the verge of tears but he held it in. The next one was even sadder.




Kuwabara had no problems with crying. He was balling on the floor until Yusuke punched him in the head and rendered him unconscious. You could still hear his little sobs as he rocked in a baby fashion.




'' Damn, Koenma, that was sad. But what does it have to do with Kagome. This must have happened five hundred and fifty fucking years ago. She's from this time if she's going to my school.'' Yusuke looked at the picture again. To him, she looked breathtaking. You didn't get to see someone like that all the time. That little touch of sadness was bothering him though. It just didn't look liked it belonged with her. Like she was supposed to be happy all the time. What the hell happened to her ?




Koenma was surprised. That was exactly right. He voiced this and was rewarded with a smug little smirk from the leader of his Spirit Detective's. Maybe he shouldn't have said that. He knew the teenaged punk would start gloating about how smart he was. And Koenma had enough of a headache without his stupid toddler remarks. It was unnerving it as it was.




'' Yusuke, that wasn't the end of the story. There's a lot more then what I told you. And an even sadder part then what you have just heard. '' Koenma was interrupted by Kurama.




'' You said that the jewel was reincarnated, right ?'' Koenma nodded. '' And I'm guessing Kagome is the person it reincarnated in. So that would mean Kagome is the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyou.''




Koenma frowned. He wanted to be the one to announce it to everyone. How did Kurama get so smart anyway ? He decided to answer the curious fox. '' You are partially right Kurama. Kagome is reincarnated from a priestess. But it isn't Kikyou. I'll be getting to that later though. I have to continue my story.




Kagome was average fifth teen year old girl with no knowledge of youkai's or miko's. One day, on her way to school, Kagome was pulled down an ancient well on her shrine trying to save her cat. It turned out that the well was a time portal for five hundred years in the past.''




'' So that's how she's tied into this story,'' Yusuke said, '' She time traveled. But aren't you supposed to stop things like that or something. Isn't it against the Rekai code of all rights and wrongs.'' The other's stood, ready for his answer. This was becoming quite the case.




'' You are right, Yusuke. But this was supposed to happen. It was like fate. Without this happening, she wouldn't be able to stand up to the evil that is after her. She is still traveling today, but she should be done soon. Maybe in about two weeks. She is also something else.'' Koenma frowned. '' Or at least will become it.....''




Hiei was growing impatient. He wanted to find this onna, destroy the evil, and finish this mission. Though, he had to admit, the girl was beautiful. For a ningen. It wasn't like he was going to degrade himself to mate with a human. Especially a miko. Now that was out of the question for sure. He smirked as if he just won some duel with a youkai. But in reality, he just made himself look really stupid. Of course he didn't know this.




''Now let me get back to the story.'' Koenma told of how Kagome met Inuyasha and broke the jewel. He told of how she met Shippo, Miroku, and Sango. And of how Kikyou was resurrected and bent on taking Inuyasha to Hell. He also told of a little of Kagome's soul being given to Kikyou. Plus the verbal abuse Inuyasha inflicts on her each day. When he was done everyone in the room looked shocked. Well except Hiei. He had his usual stoic facade on but you could see the slight look of respect in his eyes.




'' And that's not even all of it.'' Everyone in the rooms head snapped up at that point. What else could have happened to her that wasn't as bad as it was now? Koenma sighed and continued. '' She is in love with the hanyou. But the hanyou lives the dead priestess Kikyo.'' Everyone gasped. How could you love a corpse? '' She has run away from there camp and has gone to meet Sesshomaru, for she wants him to train. He's told her that if he does she has to turn into a youkai.'' Now everyone was really surprised. A miko being a youkai? They had never heard of that before.




By this time Kuwabara had woken up. He was crying again. Hiei punched him again.




'' She also seems to have this little problem. And it could kill her if it's not stopped.'' Everyone waited. And waited. And waited. Wasn't he supposed to tell them what the
'' little '' problem was.




'' Yo, toddler. What is the problem she has. Aren't you supposed to tell us?'' Koenma looked at the Spirit Detective's solemnly. This mission was going to be the hardest one they've had so far. He shook his head.




'' No Yusuke. I can't tell you. That you have to find out by yourselves. But it is crucial that you do because she could die if it's not stopped. Good luck on your mission detective's. You have to gain Kagome's trust and protect her. The fate of the three world's is in your hands.''




The Rekai tentai stood up from there positions and walked to the portal Botan had made for them. They were going to their respective home's or trees to think about this mission. but just as they were about to step through Koenma said -




'' Oh, yeah and boys?'' They turned around to see his face scared shitless. '' She 's going to become the new spirit detective.'' The group just look horrified and pale when finally the silence was broken from Yusuke with a loud -




WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!
