Chapter 8~ Lunch and Classes

"So Sesshoumaru, how's Innari doing, you know in the past you just woke up with her in your arms this morning." Kagome asked. The reikai Tentai stared shocked as they learned that Sesshoumaru did mate Innari, or is going too. Kuwabara passed out from this question; it was too much for his poor brain to comprehend.

"She's doing just fine, and as a matter of fact we're expecting our second pup." He said with a wistful sigh.

"It's about time, your first pup is now seventeen in youkai years." Kagome said this with a bright smile on her face. "So, is it another boy, or a girl?"

"It's a girl."

"I feel sorry for her. Her brother is going to be more protective of her than a mother of her kit. Any potential mate will have to be strong willed and extremely polite." Kagome said with a laugh. Hiei hopped into a tree with her still on his back. Kagome maneuvered herself so that she was now sitting in his lap with her back to his chest. "I'm going to meditate, bouts with you always take a great deal of concentration and strength, and I want to be at my best."

With that Kagome closed her eyes and leaned against Hiei as her breathing became slow and rhythmic. Her power wound tightly around her as Sesshoumaru too fell into a trance. Her power became brighter and brighter to the spiritually aware, but didn't stop there. When it reached it brightest, it began to grow, swirling chaotically and spreading far beyond their sight, after some time, it began to calm and be pulled tightly back to her body. This caused it to grow even brighter than before. Sesshoumaru had gone through a similar experience, only less chaotic.

Kagome had barely come out of her trance when the bell rang signaling the next period. Kagome quickly entered the locker room, and instead of changing into her miko garb, she changed into a Chinese fighting outfit. It had black slightly baggy pants; the waist and hems were trimmed in silver. The shirt was also black trimmed in silver with a silver dragon wrapping around it to lay its head on her shoulder. The silver Shikon shards glowed brightly on their chain, seeming to pulse in time with her heartbeat.

The barefooted girl exited the room; Shan was around her neck again. The jewel rested under his chin. Her hair was in a high ponytail held by a silver ribbon. She announced to her teachers that for the last four hours of the day, "My oniisan and I will be practicing, you are welcome to watch with your classes." The sensei's just nodded and brought their students to the field.

Sesshoumaru was wearing the same thing as Kagome, except the colors were reversed, instead of having a dragon; he had a large white dog on the back. Tsubasa was in her medium snake form wrapped around his waist, and his hair was loose. He had what appeared to be an ordinary katana strapped to his waist, and the illusion of a whip also. Unlike Kagome, he couldn't make the people around him think he always had a weapon visible when he pulled it. It was one of her miko spells.

They bowed to each other and drew their swords. There were no rules in this competition, anything and everything was used. Sesshoumaru was slicing her arrows with his poison whip when he realized it was just a distraction, but it was too late. Kagome had put a binding spell on him so that he couldn't move and now had her blade at his neck. To everyone except the reikai tentai this looked to be a normal if fast and spectacular fight.

To the tentai however, they saw the use of magic, demonic powers, and the powers of the Shadow Riders. All except for Hiei were amazed, their movements were sometimes to fast to follow, their other worldly traps all but undetectable, and some of their moves weren't registered at all. Hiei however saw it all, due to the help of sparring with Kagome, his Jagan eye, and his potential to be a Rider.

"Do you yield," she asked in the deadly calm she'd learned from him. The audience shuddered at her tone. They wondered if she would kill him if he said no.

"Hai, you've gotten better Imouto." With that she released her spells, returned her sword to its place, and threw herself at him. It was then that the tension broke.

It had only been two hours, so the teachers were about to take there pupils back to class when Hiei spoke.

"Ready for me?" It was the only warning she had before he attacked, but she was ready. She met his blade with her own as Sesshoumaru joined the spectators and watched the match.

Kagome smirked as she attacked and Hiei was forced to the defense. She thrust; he parried, and sent her blade flying. She kicked his sword out of his hand and threw purified daggers at him. He in return dodged while throwing flaming ninja stars. She dodged but wasn't prepared for the explosion they caused. She was thrown a few feet from the force, but quickly recovered while throwing miko orbs at him. He dodged them, but instead of exploding as he thought, they formed a barrier around him of pure miko energy, he was trapped, then he smirked. Black fire began to swirl around his arm as he called upon the Dragon of the Darkness Flame. He had intended on it destroying the barrier, but instead, it absorbed becoming the Dragon of the Miko's Flame. Both of them stared at it as it stood there in the middle of the field.

The class saw what appeared to be there weapons glance off each other and them continue to battle (Kind of like a prerecorded match).

"What the hell are we supposed to do now?" Hiei and Kagome asked in unison. The Dragon went over to Kagome and nuzzled her. She giggled and it picked her up. It then turned to Hiei and lifted him onto his back with Kagome. To the reikai tentai the dragon seemed to vanish within them both. To the rest of the classes, the battle ended a draw, and the bell rang signaling the end of school.

Kagome felt something on her upper arm. She rolled up her sleeve, and on her arm was a silver and black dragon, it was a miniature replica of the Dragon of the Miko's Flame. There was one on Hiei's arm too. What was really interesting about these marks is that they moved.

"Well Imouto," Sesshoumaru said after everyone but the reikai tentai had left, "How about we all go get something to eat?"

Kagome was about to reply when a floating baby appeared above there heads. `What is that?' Kagome asked Hiei.

`That would be Koenma, Prince of the rei kai.' Hiei was a little ticked off, apparently, not only was his afternoon with Kagome going to be ruined with the others, but the rei kai's tiny ruler too.

"Why are you here?" Kagome asked the toddler.

Koenma looked at the girl in front of him, she looked like some ordinary schoolgirl to him. "Look little girl, why don't you go along and play, we have important work to do." With that he dismissed Kagome and looked at Sesshoumaru, who was a little ticked to say the least. He had just dismissed his Imouto. "Ah, you must be the new Shadow Rider, you certainly look powerful. I am Koenma, pleased to meet you." He bowed to Sesshoumaru.

Now, just about everyone was pissed at him for dismissing their sister/cousin/potential mate/friend. Kagome more than the lot of them, without any conscious thought, the dragon on her arm surged forth and attacked the child ruler. He saw it coming, squeaked in alarm, and popped back to spirit world.

"Guess I'm going to have to control that." Kagome said this while petting her dragon; it nuzzled her one last time and went back into her arm.

~*~*~*~ At the Reikai~*~*~*~

Koenma was hyperventilating and looked a little the worst for ware. "Boton!" His office rang with his call, and the grim reaper entered.

"Hai Koenma sir."

"I want you to go to the ningen kai and bring me the new shadow rider and the rei kai tentai. I was attacked but want to finish talking to them, I have no idea who attacked me."

"Hai sir." With that she created a portal to ningen kai and changed into a school outfit identical to Kagome's.

~*~*~*~ Ningen Kai~*~*~*~

Koenma wasn't gone long before Boton came through the portal with a cheery hello.

Kagome smiled, it was good to see Boton again, "You know, Boton, you should come to school with us, you look good in that, and if anyone asks, just say you share my beliefs." Kagome was hoping she'd gay yes, she was tired of being the only girl, "and Yusuke, you should have you're girlfriend transferred too."

Boton smiled happily and said she'd take care of everything, including getting Keiko transferred. "Anyways, Koenma wants all of you to come to his office, you can come too, Sesshoumaru-san."

All the guys looked a little uneasily at Kagome, she had the sweetest smile on her face, with a terrifying glint in her eye, Boton didn't seem to notice. "Alright Boton, lets go see him."

Kagome had been sending various pictures to the others of the tortures she was planning for the child ruler. Most of the guys went pale, but Sesshoumaru and Hiei had smirks on their faces. "Oh, by the way everyone, don't correct Koenma." They nodded their heads, though Boton looked a little confused.

Kagome decided to stay in her fighting outfit, while Sesshoumaru changed into his business suit. (By the way, they're changing by means of magic, not stripping down in front of everyone.)

Boton created another portal, they went through and entered Koenma's office, Kagome stayed in the back. Before Koenma could say anything Kagome walked out of the office and down what appeared to be a random corridor. `Hiei, I sense a Shikon shard, several actually, I'll be right back, just let me "borrow" your ears, please!!'

`Of course.' No one else had noticed her leave except Sesshoumaru, but he heard there conversation.

"Hello again, sorry about disappearing, but that dragon came out of no where and I thought it would be safer to talk here.

`It would be if you hadn't brought the danger here as well,' Hiei thought aloud to all except Koenma, he also showed Boton what happened before she got there. She paled significantly.

"Now, I've heard you are the guardian of the Shikon no tama, and I wish for you to give me your shards so that I might protect them, I'm afraid I can't allow you to keep them."

`As if he could take them away, let alone guard the ones he's got.' Kagome walked through a door, literally since it was locked, and picked up the shards there. When added with the rest of her collection, she now had over half of the Shikon. It glowed bright silver; she tucked it under her shirt.

Shan decided to transform into his medium snake form and wrapped his tail around her waist while resting his head on her shoulder. He nuzzled into her neck in a calming gesture as the dragon on her arm moved to her other arm with its head resting on her hand. They continued listening to the conversation, Kagome and Shan through Hiei and the Dragon through its counterpart.

Boton looked as if she was either going to faint from shock at Koenma's statement or explode in rage. Everyone stayed quite however heeding Kagome's wishes.

Koenma held out his hands for the shards, "I'm afraid you've been misinformed," Sesshoumaru said evenly, "I am not the guardian of the Shikon no tama."

Koenma looked at his detectives, "I thought you said you were going to the past to help the guardian retrieve the shards, didn't you get any?"

"Hai, they did, and any shards collected were given to its guardian. Any shards I myself have come across were given to my Imouto to have." Sesshoumaru said this in an obvious tone. Kagome had slipped back into the room during his comment. She wrapped her arms around Hiei's waist briefly, then stood in front of him and leaned back. He snuck his arms around her waist and held her tightly.

"Is that right, well, I'll have to ask you to get them back and give them to me. A female can't be expected to be able to protect it." He said this in a way that said he expected to be obeyed.

"No."

He looked shocked, "What do you mean no."

"He means," Kagome said while drawing all eyes to her, "that I shall not allow you to take the Shikon from me, and he would never force me to do so. Besides, what right do you have to take it from me, or its guardian."

"Who are you?" Koenma asked, "Never mind, it's not important. I am the ruler of spirit world. Give me your shards."

"No, you have no right to take the Shikon from its guardian, you have no right to keep shards from its guardian either, so I took the liberty of getting them. Also, I do not appreciate the way you have been treating me or my Oniisan." Kagome said. Hiei wasn't visible because he was completely shrouded in shadow.

"Who are you to take the shards, give them back, how did you get here anyway?" Koenma asked in anger.

"I am the Shikon no tama's guardian, and you requested my presence, did you like my dragon?"

"That was your dragon!! Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, subdue her so we can put her in the prison."

Yusuke looked at him as if he had gone nuts. "Why the hell would I attack my cousin? Beside you told us we were never, under any circumstances allowed to attack your guests."

"Hn, why would I attack my soon to be mate?" Hiei asked while moving into the light, Kagome still in his arms.

"Why would I attack my friend, besides, she's far stronger than I." Kurama said. (Kuwabara is still passed out at the school.)

"You mean that weak little girl. Besides, I didn't invite her, I invited the new Shadow Rider."

"Are you really that dense?" Kagome asked, "I am the new Shadow Rider." With that she dropped the glamour on her mark, and Shando leapt off her shoulder and onto the ground in his giant cat form.

"Really, I always thought Riders were more powerful than that. Kuwabara has more strength than you in his little finger. Besides if you're a Rider who's that?"

"That," Kagome said while dropping all the shields on her power, "is Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands, and King of Makai." Her power swelled forth, entrapping Koenma in a barrier of raw power, "and do not ever compare me with that baka again!! You should know better than to piss off a girl going through PMS!!"

Koenma was shocked, the girl had more power than he thought possible, and he was terrified. That wasn't even the worst part, no one in the room seemed inclined to help him, so he did the one thing he could think of, "DADDY!!!"
