Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Time and Again ❯ Warnings of Rising Storms ( Chapter 4 )

HIEI LOVERS:(Raven:*Sniff Sniff* Thankyou i appreshiete that)

HIEI LOVERS:(Raven:Here ya go... hehe i didnt have the spellings right in fornt of me sorry... i'll keep a look out)

None of your bussiness! So mleh! >. :( Raven: Thankyou... Glad SOMEONE here likes it... and DV and I will try to tone it down some on the Begaining and ending Skits)

Loitering:(Raven: So do you)

Brad22 (Raven: You try writing a cowritten story why dont ya)

Kikyou's Soul snatched (Raven: HEY those were only the first three chapters so of course its gonna be a little bleah... it'll get more origanl... there's going to be over 20 chapters at least and maybe a sequil)

Lexi(Raven:DV... I'll Let you handle this one *Fuming* but before i hand it over to You DV i wanna say somthing... its a fanFICTION... plus how can you make manga/anime more realistic... Now you go DV... DV- 'smiling WAY too sweetly' Thanks Raven! First off, Raven and I are still new at cowriting, so you're going to have to be patent while we try to work everything out. Not that someone as shalow as your review makes you out to be could psossibly understand, but we are trying to make this fic original. It's just been three chapters so far, you can't judge a fic's originality by the first three chapters. Everything is explained later on, you just have to wait. Also, I think it's VERY realistic that Sango and Shippo wouldn't know shit about the present and how things work, and besides, some of the stuff we nemionted in that little tibit was important to the plot, as anyone who's been writing for half as long as you CLAIM (You honestly expect us to believe you were publishing at 6?) should know. And while we're going to tone down on the convos, know it's not because of you. It's just that other, more polite reviewers who actually know what they're talking about have brought it up. If you don't like this story, don't read it. But try and flame us again, and there will be Hell to pay. PS; Kagome's not perfect in this story. We'll actually be playing a lot on her weaknesses. Next time you review for someone, make sure you know what you're talking about cause to me you come off as a rude, bitchy little airhead who should take that stick out of your ass.)

Warnings of a Rising Storm

 

 

 

So Today's the big day, huh?! I can't wait to see the reactions!!!

 

Yep!!! Hey, is that popcorn done yet?

 

Just about… Where's lover-boy?

 

I tHiNk He'S iN a MeEtInG wItH tHe ToDdLeR

 

…He doesn't know, does he?

 

Shut up, already, Fox! The show's about to start!!!!!!!

 

 

 

“Students, this is your new teacher, Higurashi-san. She's an… `expert' in History and Mythology,” Kagome smiled brightly at the students, biting back a laugh at the mixed reactions. Some students were studying her curiously, while others looked bored. One boy in the far back was glaring at her angrily.

 

“Hi there!” Kagome said happily, smiling at her students. “Feel free to call me Kagome. I'm looking forward to teaching you!” She turned to the old sensei that introduced her. “I can take over from here,” She said with a smile. He frowned. She could tell he doubted her expertise. Still, he left the room, though Kagome was almost sure he was lingering within hearing distance.

 

“How old are you?” One little kid asked right off the bat.

 

“17,” She answered brightly.

 

“That's not very old. Are you really supposed to be our teacher?”

 

“I've been learning Shinto mythology since I was a little girl, (however reluctantly at first,) and a few years ago I took a rather keen interest in history,” She said with a wry smile.

 

“I'm a fully trained Miko and I'm currently taking college level classes in World and Japanese History with particular emphasis on Feudal and Meiji Japan. I'm the head of the class in the history department at our school, though my sister's catching up on me pretty quickly, and I'm a surrogate mother.” Kagome smiled at the boy's expression, “Does that answer your question?”

 

“Kagome-sensei?” One little girl asked, raising her hand, “What kinds of things will we be learning in here?”

 

“Boring stuff,” the glaring boy answered for her, “History's boring!!! I came here to learn to fight, not to have more school.” Kagome looked him over carefully.

 

“You really think so?” She said in an unreadable tone.

 

“Yeah!!!” He answered at once. “Who wants to think so much when you can fight?!”

 

`Great. A seven year old InuYasha…'

 

“What's your name?”

 

“Bishamon Zubanukeru. Everyone calls me Zu” He answered, somewhat wary.

 

`There's an irony. Ah, well, this could be used to my advantage.'

 

“Wow! Who would've guessed I'd someday teach a Kami?!”

 

“Huh?” The kid's anger melting into confusion at the excited comment from his young (And possibly insane) teacher.

 

“You don't know?” Kagome said in mock surprise. “Why, Bishamon is one of the Shichi Fukujin, the Seven Gods of Luck. Along with Benten, Daikoku, Ebisu, Fukurokuju, Hotei, and Jurojin. I've got some pictures in here somewhere…” she said, going through some of the old text she had brought from home. Ah-ha! Here we are!!!”

 

Kagome triumphantly pinned an old scroll of six men and one woman to the board. Her class watched on with fascination.

 

“Why are there seven of them?” Zu asked.

 

“Each rules a different realm. Benten was the only girl, she had eight arms and rode around on a dragon, as you can see. She was the Goddess of Luck, Love, Eloquence, Wisdom and the Fine Arts. Daikoku, that's this fat one here with the rice and the rats, was the God of Wealth.”

 

“What was Bishamon the God of?” Zu asked, now really curious. The rest of the class was really getting into it too. Kagome blinked at him innocently.

 

“Why do you ask? This is history, after all. Isn't history boring?” Zu blushed slightly, realizing his teacher was teasingly mocking him. Kagome grinned. “Bishamon was the Patron God of Warriors. He's the one right here with the armor and spear.”

 

“And the other four?” One little girl asked.

 

“Ebisu here is the son of Daikoku. See, he's the one with the fishing pole.”

 

“Was he the God of the sea or something?” The girl asked.

 

“No, he was the patron God of Fishermen. He's got a temple near Osaka that's still standing. It's a beautiful place, if you ever go to look at it.”

 

“I've been there once!!!” One boy said excitedly. “We were visiting my Grandma and she took us to see it!!!”

 

“Fukurokuju was the God of Wisdom, Luck and Longevity, Jurojin is also a Longevity God, but he also depicts happiness in your old age. Like Daikoku, Hotei is a Wealth God, but he's also the God of Laughter and Happiness, and he's a fat god, but he's always shown laughing, and he has a certain fondness of children,” Kagome smiled secretly at that.

 

Out of all the Shichi Fukujin, she only had the honor of meeting two of them in the past. One was Benten, when they saved her main temple from being plundered by a jewel shard hoarding dragon. She had presented all of them with many elaborate gifts as a thank-you. Kagome and Sango she gave many fine kimonos and two large boxes of beautiful jewelry to.

 

(Miroku later informed them that Benten was a very feminine goddess, and tended to like the company of women and children more than men, the reason he hadn't chanced a grope, so it was no surprise she tended to be more generous with rewarding women and children as well.)

 

Kagome also received one of her bows (She was nearly always holding one in one of her hands.) and an arrow with the promise it would never break, and always return to her at the end of battle. She always saved it for last, so no one ever discovered that useful little trick.

 

Sango had received one of Benten's katanas (Again, she was nearly always holding one) which she could slice through nearly anything with, and it would surround itself in a strange, silvery light Benten told her was her own internal energy. This trick tired Sango out quickly at first, but she got used to it.

 

Miroku had earned a holy jewel, which was worn on a silver rosary. It enhanced his powers and could project powerful barriers. When Miroku spoke of Naraku, questioning if the goddess knew of his location (Under the wary eyes of the others. Eight arms or no, she was beautiful, and they didn't want the wrath of a powerful Goddess upon them, particularly the Goddess of Luck, which they needed their fair share of anyways,)

 

Benten had regrettably informed him that she did not know where Naraku lay, but she could lend a hand with the curse. She cast an extra spell on his jewel, so though the wind tunnel stayed in place, it ceased to grow. She warned him that if he ever lost the jewel, things would continue from where they left off, and he would be sucked into his hand.

 

Shippo had been rewarded with a key which could open any locked door, and break down any barrier, trap, spell and other such predicaments. In other words, every Kitsune's wildest dream come true. Of course, Kagome was always suspicious whenever baffled sweet makers told of their stores going missing, despite the heavy locks on the doors.

 

Even Kirara was awarded, with a complicated spell that allowed her to take human form every night. A condition she made good use of. Despite being a few hundred years old, Kirara was a chibi when she was human, just a little bigger than Shippo. She could still use fire attacks, and she could talk, which was a major bonus for her, but that was pretty much all. One of the first things the group had found out about Chibi Kirara was that she absolutely loved to talk. And she saw waaaaaay too much in kitty form.

 

And what did the goddess give Inuyasha? A wheel.

 

Yes, that's right. A WHEEL.

 

Naturally Inuyasha raised hell when he saw it, Furious that everyone else got nice stuff and he got (In his own words) `A fucking lame-ass WHEEL!!!!!!!!!'

 

Surprisingly, Benten didn't curse Inuyasha and his lineage for the rest of their time on earth (Most likely out of amusement from Kagome's harsh sits and the sincere apologies she received from the nervous shard hunting group as the hanyou sputtered his usual round of profanities into the dirt.)

 

Benten informed Inuyasha that said `Lame-ass wheel' was among her most treasured keepsakes. It was the Jinmei wheel, and it could take you anywhere you wanted to go, including Heaven and Hell.

 

It could also tell when other travelers they met had underlying evil intentions, though Inuyasha complained the first time it warned them with a loud, noticeable squeak. Also, it only answered to the owner Benten gave it to, unless Inuyasha then chose to pass it to someone else.

 

The second Shichi Fukujin only Kagome and Shippo met. They had been separated from the others after a fight, and in seeking shelter from the poring rain via cave, met up with the chubby, cheerful Hotei, who had been traveling out of curiosity.

 

At first, both were fearful of the Kami, but it didn't take them long to relax. Hotei gave Shippo all kinds of sweets and was joking around with Kagome not two minutes after meeting her, his loud, rolling laugh mingling with her bell-like one as the three dried around a fire.

 

After much coaxing, Hotei managed to get Kagome to tell him what she was doing in the middle of a forest in a raging storm dressed in a strange `kimono' with a kitsune for company.

 

The god had such a relaxing and calming presence, Kagome found herself retelling her entire life's story. (Or at least from age 15) Hotei found it intriguing, to say the least, and asked many questions about her companions. (his laugher could be heard for miles when the subduing spell was explained to him,) Like Benten, he did not know Naraku's location, but he did help Kagome in a very big way.

 

When Kagome went to get the sleeping bags so she and Shippo could rest comfortably, Hotei noticed Kagome's enormous yellow bag for the first time since their arrival. After a fresh wave of laugher, he asked her where she had obtained such a strange bag, and how in the world did she carry the gigantic thing? (A question every Inu fan has wondered at least once)

 

Kagome laughed sheepishly and admitted that sometimes the bag did get too heavy for her and Inuyasha had to carry it (All the while griping about her human weaknesses) and even told him that, despite the bag's size, she couldn't get everything she needed in there, and often had to leave things at home.

 

Hotei looked thoughtful for a while, then he snapped his finger at the bag. Puzzled, Kagome went to it and found it was much easier to lift.

 

So much easier, in fact, she fell backwards from using too much force and ended up landing on her butt, sending Hotei into more peals of laugher.

 

Hotei told her he'd made the bag weather and tear resistant, and light as a feather to boot. Also, she could now store as much as she needed and then some. The bag could now never get full, and would never get any heavier.

 

Exited, Kagome thanked the Kami over and over again, while he simply laughed and brushed it off, saying it was the least he could do in exchange for such an intriguing tale and fine company.

 

“Well I guess this is okay for History… we don't get homework in this class, do we?” Zu asked, one suspicion still clouding his interest. Kagome laughed.

 

“No, but I will give you a list some time in the future of Kamis, youkai and great warriors and you'll be expected to pick one, study them and either make a costume you'll be expected to wear or a model. If you pay attention during class, you shouldn't need to study hard,” the kids grinned. That actually sounded fun.

 

“What happens if we don't do it?” Zu asked in a challenging way. Kagome gave him another smile, though this one had a slightly darker edge to it.

 

“You meet my sister,”

 

///////With Yusuke/////////

 

`SMASH!!!'

 

“AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”

 

“That can't be a fun way to die,” Yusuke said conversationally.

 

“Indeed. It looked quite painful,” Kurama agreed.

 

“Well, that's 48 down, nine billion more to go.” Yusuke growled. “I'm gonna kill that toddler one of these days. Snot-ass, pacifier-breath son of a-!”

 

“Yusuke!” Botan said in a reproachful tone. “Despite his… err… admittedly small size, Koenma is your boss, and you should treat him with more- Yusuke are you even listening to me?!?!?!”

 

“Think Hiei's killed Kuwabara yet?”

 

“…Why do I even bother?” The rei guide muttered, crossing her arms in the flowing pink sleeves of her kimono.

 

“Actually, both are heading this way now. And Kuwabara's still very much alive,” Kurama said, giving the fuming rei guide a sympathetic look. “I believe that means I win our wager, Yusuke?”

 

“Damn. Alright, Alright, here's your 500 yen…” grumbling about lousy foxes, Yusuke tossed the money to his companion.

 

“Urameshi!!!!” Kuwabara yelled. “I got 7 of those convicts back!!! Be you didn't get that many!!!” The orange haired fighter stated proudly.

 

“Great. Can I go back home now?” Yusuke asked impatiently, “Ma's making me leave early so we can have dinner at the Shrine.”

 

“Really?” Kurama asked with a wide, innocent smile, “You're moving today? I'd be happy to help you move in…”

 

“Thanks.” Yusuke said. “I can use it. Fuck… That old man actually expects me to do chores like his Grandkids. CHORES!!!!!!!!!”

 

“They'd do you some good,” Botan said with a frown. “Anyways, you said it was Higurashi shrine, right? If I remember right, they're hard on money and the bank's been threatening to buy them out and bulldoze the land for a new law office,” Yusuke stared at Botan.

 

“How do you know that?” He asked in surprise.

 

“We're expected to visit shrines regularly and see that the Holy energies are carefully maintained.”

 

“Uh, why do you have to do that?” Kuwabara asked in bewilderment. Botan shrugged.

 

“Shinto Shrines and Buddhist Temples are the main sources of Holy energies, and Enma-sama often draws on them to maintain the strength of the barriers. Some of the older and better kept shrines have a real distinct feel to them that really takes you back.” Botan smiled wistfully. “That's why I remember the Higurashi Shrine so well. It's one of the best I can remember visiting. Ten years ago I loved sitting in the branches of the Goshinboku and watching the little granddaughter of Higurashi-san playing in the shade of the tree.”

 

“Kagome?” Yusuke said in surprise. Then he shrugged it off. The annoying girl had seemed fond of that weird tree last time he met her. He lost count of the times he's seen her fall asleep under it.

 

“Yes. Wonderful girl!!! She's been taking over most of the shrine's main duties these past two years. A lot of the other guides think she's going to be the most powerful Miko since the old age, long before the barrier!!!!” Yusuke snorted.

 

“Please! That Whiny little brat?!”

 

“Times changes people, Yusuke,” Kurama said knowledgably. Botan's eyes widened.

 

“Oh! That reminds me- Koenma wanted me to give you this.” Botan pressed a strange black jewel onto the base of Yusuke's hand, and elaborate black cords burst from it in strange patterns, connecting on the other side of Yusuke's wrist, “This is a Hogo Sochi Tama, a barrier jewel that will protect you from purification waves. Don't want you killed by an old shrine, after all. Also, it will keep others from sensing your ki, so you won't have to worry about unexpected youkai popping up on the Higurashi family.”

 

“I thought the power on that shrine was different,” Yusuke said suspiciously. Botan shrugged.

 

“Better safe and unaffected than dead and sorry.” She said. “I have one for the rest of you two, so the convicts can't track any of you down.” Kurama and Kuwabara accepted theirs easily, but Hiei just glared at the guide.

 

“I need no protection. Any who attempt to come after me will taste my blade,” Quite frankly, Hiei was looking forward to killing them. Knowing she wasn't going to win this, Botan frowned at the Jaganshi.

 

“At any rate, don't forget that the Higurashi family can't know about youkai or the Makai, alright, Yusuke?”

 

“Yeah, yeah. Are we done yet?!?!” Sighing, Botan made her oar appear with a `pop!'

 

“I'll go back to the office and give Koenma the head count. How many did each of you get? Besides Kuwabara's 7?”

 

“I apprehended 23 myself,” Kurama said.

 

“28,” Hiei snapped coldly. He seemed to be in a fairly bad mood today, one no doubt stemming from the fact that several of those fugitives had been found near Genkai's temple. The thought of any of the Makai's darkest criminals near his sister was enough to make the Jiganshi pissed.

 

“I just got 25,” Yusuke said with a shrug.

 

“Right, so that brings today's total to 83,” Botan said after taking a moment to do the math off the top of her head (She always had problems with numbers…) “My this is certainly going slow…” Yusuke's eyebrow twitched.

 

“Well, whadda expect?!?!?! These guys aren't just lining up and waitin' around out in the open to get caught, you know!!!!!!!!!”

 

“Alright! Alright! No need to get angry with me!!!” Botan shouted back with a `hmph!' “Anyways, could you do me one last thing? Wish Kagome luck on her upcoming archery tournament. I know it's her first real one, but I'm sure that with her skills, she'll do great!!!” Yusuke blinked.

 

“Wow. You guys really do keep tabs on shrine families…”

 

“Hm? Oh, no. Rabenda, the Guam rei guide told me Ayame told her about it once during a shift change. Kagome always makes for excellent gossip. Everyone in the Reikai knows about the tournament. A few of the lesser Shinto gods are even booking passes to the Ningenkai to see it!” Yusuke gaped at the bubbly guide before his eyes narrowed.

 

“You guys wouldn't happen to gossip about me, too, would you?”

 

“…Ah!!!! Well, these reports aren't going to bring themselves to Koenma!!!!” Botan said in a rush, “Good luck getting along with Kagome!!!! Try not to get on her bad side, or a few kamis might hex you!!!!!” And with that, she flew off.

 

“DAMN IT, BOTAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Yusuke yelled after her.

 

///////With Koenma/////////

 

“Are you sure about this? The whole thing seems rather risky if you ask me.” Koenma glared as the Kami relaxing in the chair in front of him rolled his eyes. He never liked dealing with this one. He always acted like he knew everything, the fact that he pretty much did aside.

 

“For the last time, YES! When have I ever been wrong, toddler?”

 

“Remember Inari's* 8759037th birthday when you and your girlfriend dunked Hachiman's* head into the sake?”

 

“Inari thought it was funny.”

 

“Hachiman didn't,” Koenma reminded him, shuttering as he remembered the War-god's reaction.

 

“Hachiman needs to get a life.”

 

“He started the first World War because of that prank!!!!!!”

 

“I know.” The Kami said, pulling a thin black book from the inside flap of his kimono and holding it for Koenma to see. “It's all right here. Do you honestly think I'd leave such an important part of history to one of my messengers? Amaterasu* didn't give me this job just to keep me from bugging the other gods, ya know,” Koenma grumbled. As much as he hated to admit it, the Kami had a point. He was very good at what he did.

 

“Still, I don't see anything good coming from those two meeting, especially since it's delaying her trips to the past! Not to mention we have to hide all evidence of her time traveling from them since if they ever find out, they're sure to want to go back, and if the Makai ever found out about her, utter chaos could spread to the Ningenkai!!!”

 

“You're overreacting,”

 

“She's the last miko and protector of the Shikon no Tama!!!!”

 

“And her legends are still used to frighten bad little youkai five hundred years after her `disappearance.' Do you really think there's any youkai cocky enough to take that on? Especially with the infamous spirit detective living in her house?” Koenma glared again. “Trust me, toddler, everything's been going according to plan. But it'll all be thrown off unless I can get back to my job before they meet in a way they're not supposed to. You above all should know what happens when you try to interfere with my job, Diaper-butt,” The Kami's tone had taken on a warning edge, and Koenma couldn't help but flinch.

 

So He'd accidentally started World War Two by keeping this Kami from making Hitler slip on a patch of ice!!! It wasn't his fault, and they HAD recovered!!! It had taken a couple of decades, but everything was on track now!!!!!

 

“Master Koen- Oh!!!” Botan blushed brightly when she noticed the new god “Ah! Uh, G-gomen! I didn't know-”

 

“Relax, Lady Death. Master Pacifier was just about to let me go, weren't you toddler.” Koenma scowled.

 

“I want a full report on what's supposed to be going on by tomorrow!!!”

 

“Can't do that. They're both Hikiokosu.” Koenma paled. “Really, that surprises you Koenma?” The Kami clicked his tongue “And you wonder how all those youkai got out?”

 

Without waiting for a reaction, the Kami got up and left, with a polite nod to the Rei guide that made her go crimson. Koenma probably would've snorted if he was in his normal mind state. He seemed to have that effect on most of the newer female deities, something that his girlfriend was never happy about. It wasn't that she didn't get that kind of attention, too, it was just that she was… possessive.

 

“Err, sir, are you alright?” Botan asked when she started to settle down. Koenma sighed.

 

“Botan, make sure to keep an eye on Yusuke's relationship with Kagome-sama. Report every last detail to me, but don't let anyone else hear!!!”

 

“Yes sir,” Botan said in confusion, “But I don't understand… who was that? And what in the world is a Hikiokosu?” Koenma sighed deeply.

 

“Did you give Yusuke and the others those tamas?”

 

“Yes, but Hiei didn't take his,”

 

“That's fine. One youkai hanging around isn't as suspicious as three.” Botan nodded.

 

“Yes, I understand. I still don't see what all the hush-hush is for, though. Why can't Yusuke tell Kagome-chan about the Makai and help her with the Shikon? Wouldn't that be more efficient?”

 

“Efficient? Yes. But who knows the effect it would have on the timeline, not to mention the very future of mankind.” Koenma sighed and glared at the door his visitor had just exited. “As much as I'd hate to admit it, I'm afraid we have no choice but to trust his judgment this time. All I can do I sit back and watch.”

 

 

 

Hey There! Welcome back to the party, fox-boy.

 

What did Koenma want?

 

Information. What else?

 

DiD yOu GiVe It To HiM?

 

Of course not. You know, that whole Hikiokosu and destruction of the world thing.

 

…

 

One of them is-?!

 

Don't ask!!! We'll get into enough trouble, we don't need to pry THAT out of him.

 

I hAvE tO aDmIt It, FoX, yOu'Re GoOd At RaIsInG hElL.

 

Coming from the Goddess of Chaos, I consider that a compliment.

 

 

 

DV- Okay, here's a little background info; Inari; Kami of food and rice who's messenger is the fox. Apparently, He/She is of both genders (o.O) Hachiman; God of war. Amaterasu; Goddes of the sun and heavens, the main Kami of the Shinto religion.
