IIt had only been a year and a half since he had suffered at the hands of that little brat too stupid to understand the gift of his powers and that disillusioned fat-ass he now had to call "Ruler." Yuusuke and Enki. They would both suffer for ever being lucky enough to make it as far as they did in that tournament. He would bet money that Yuusuke had rigged the entire thing since he was the one who put it on. Yomi was a damn fool for ever agreeing to it. If only that six-eared freak had killed the boy when he had the chance to. Now, he would make sure to correct that mistake. After making him suffer as he had suffered, of course. Revenge just wasn't revenge without utterly breaking your enemy. And he would break him, he would break them both, or he would die trying.

He wasn't stupid nor was he rash. His entire plot had been carefully planned out over his year-and-a-half of forced servitude. Nothing was being left to chance. Only the foolish left things to luck. When one had been a fighter for as long as he, you learned the hard way that you can't rely on such fallible things as "chance" or "luck." No, there could only be plans and skill. At the very end, all it really came down to was who was faster: faster with the blade, faster with their mind--it was all the same.

Those two things were ones Hiei and Kurama out-classed him in. He did not want to have to fight them, which was why he could not attack Yuusuke head-on. One of them would be close-by. The only one he held an advantage over was the third, and relatively unknown, friend of Yuusuke's: one called Kuwabara Kazuma. Out of the four, he was the weakest, the slowest thinker, his speed was not enough to be a threat to him, and he was also the least guarded. Some friends they were to leave their greatest liability unprotected. Especially when he was the closest to Yuusuke out of the three.

Rule number one of combat: The quickest way to bring your enemy to their knees is to attack their heart.

With the removal of Kuwabara, he would deliver a decisive blow to Yuusuke's heart. And crippling Yuusuke would cripple Enki through shock. How easy it all would be. Who would have ever known the way to bring down some of the greatest and strongest fighters in the demon world was through one puny little human? Staying completely cloaked on the nearby rooftop, he watched and waited for them to leave their "friend" behind and open to the tragedy that was about to befall the poor, stupid human.

"How're things between you and Keiko?"

The object of loathing glared, "She's being her normal self: a little wench!"

As expected, the fox was with Yuusuke, doing his damn infernal chuckle. "She's only one to you because you deserve it."

"Pssh, whatever. All because I came back earlier than the three years I said to her. She'd be better if she wasn't so anal." The words coming from the idiot demon made him glad he didn't go after Keiko. It would do no good to get rid of someone that didn't mean the world to the enemy.

"You shouldn't speak so bad of Keiko, Urameshi!"

"If you had to deal with her more than you do, you'd be saying the exact same thing!"

"As if! I have more honor than that!"

"You two will never change, will you?" He scoffed at how that one question caused the two dumb-asses to cease their escalating fight. They were truly foolish to allow something like that to distract them. This was looking to be easier than he first intended. Standing, he jumped over to the next roof to keep them in sight, having lost track of their conversation as they moved through the streets. Finally, it looked like his opportunity was fast approaching.

The red-headed human waved off his friends, "I gotta start heading home or else Shizuru'll have my head."

"Alright, Kuwabara. Stay safe, OK?"

"Will do. I would say the same, but you're already walking around with trouble."

"Screw you! And stop day-dreaming about Yukina and do your work!"

"Shut the hell up, Urameshi!"

Finally. A sadistic smirk appeared on his face as he watched Yuusuke run off, soon followed by the fox. His prey was left alone. If they had been truly worried about his safety, they would have seen him home. After all, who knew the dangers that lurked in the darkness? He was one danger they would soon regret overlooking. As soon as there was enough distance separating Kuwabara from his friends, he made his move.

Kuwabara's own reiki senses were so dull that he never realized the danger he was in until it was too late.


A splash of gold, purple, and the fading blues of the night colored in the early dawn sky. Though the pollution of these modern times clouded and dulled the beauty of the morning view, just as they hid the dusk's stars from view, it could never completely cover their innate vibrancy. Nature would always win over man, no matter what humans did. For that, Kagome would always be thankful.

It had been three years since her adventures in the feudal era, and she still couldn't shake the habit of waking up at dawn's first light. It was one habit she never wanted to break because it let her know the time she spent in the past wasn't just some dream or figment of her imagination. Out of all the habits she picked up in the past, it was the only one she could hold onto. In this modern day era there was no need to fight anymore, any demons that lived in the human world did so peacefully.

The feudal era also gave her one extra gift: the unsealing of her powers. With the destruction of the Shikon's dark will, along with the Shikon no Tama, she finally had full access to her reiki and hama no reiryoku. Her grandfather was especially happy with this, she could finally take over the shrine from him and be a true Shrine Maiden. She would be one of the very few who actually had power, as Shrine Maidens these days had no need to develop their power. The rest of civilization didn't need to know she was a priestess from the past who saved the future, aside from the fact that no one would believe that crazy story. At times she had a hard time believing it herself. It all seemed like one giant, beautiful, exciting, blood-splattered, heartbreaking story.

Kagome sighed heavily, resting her chin in the palm of her hand. Nostalgia would always be constant in her life, it seemed.

Her attention was drawn away suddenly as something fell over. She looked over to her dresser and saw one of her picture frames laying face-down on the floor. Perplexed at how it managed to fall over, she moved away from the window and over to pick up the fallen picture, wondering which one it was. A sense of foreboding gripped her as she saw it had been cracked. It was a picture, the only one she had, of her and her cousin sitting in front of the Goshinboku when they were very young. Kagome placed the picture back on her dresser after one fond look at her cousin's American looks, especially with his red hair, hoping she was just being silly in her worries. But somehow, she knew she wasn't.

"Please... Be alright Kazuma..."
