I walked with Kagome to the shrine that I hadn't been to in a long while. She went up the steps easily, I smirked as I thought of Yusuke or Kuwabara trying to tackle these stairs and falling asleep in the middle of them. It looked the same as it had last year; she's been taking good care of it.

Suddenly something came charging at me, something large. It pinned me down and growled. “Yokaru! He's fine, he's not intruding.” Kagome called to the demon. It got off of me and transformed into something much, smaller.

It was a fox yokai, It was black and had red tips on its tails and paws, it also had a red star mark on it's forehead. “Hiei, this is Yokaru. He's a shadow fox.” I smirked as I reached down and pet him.

“Where did you find a breed as rare as this?” I questioned her. She smiled.

“Midoriko, she gave him to me along with a few other things. You may find this strange but she came to me in a dream, explained a few things to me, and gave me some things.” She explained. “Yokaru being among one of them, he's loyal and great in battle. He's also my friend. I now understand the bond between Sango and Kylala.” She looked ready to cry again but she didn't.

`She seems so far away, even though she's right here.' I thought sadly. I followed her to the door and stepped in. It looked almost the same as last time, except it felt a bit emptier. I knew it was because no one besides Kagome was here anymore.

“I know that they weren't my real family, but they were the closest thing I had until I met you.” Kagome said out of the blue. Yokaru pawed at her leg. “I know it's late.” She told the small fox. “We should get to bed so we can be ready for the search tomorrow.” She said with a yawn. She picked Yokaru up and headed to her room. “Get some sleep, kay?”

She went into her room and closed the door. I headed for the room I stayed in when ever I was here. I lay down on the bed and for the first time in years, I fell into a deep sleep.

Tijiya: I hope you are all enjoying the story so far!

Yusuke: You probably bored them to death.

Hiei: -Smirks- I think I see a few of them asleep.

Yusuke: -laughs-

Tijiya: -glares at them and starts chasing them-

Kagome: -sweat drops- well that's……not going to turn out good. Tijiya doesn't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Kurama: Please leave a review.

Tijiya: Flame if……you must….(Grrrr get back here you two!)……I will take it……all in stride!
