Things had been going crazy as of late. Yusuke had just returned from the Makai, his fiance had dumped him, and he had found a new girlfriend. He had a date with her last week, but she had yet to return from her trip to... well, he wasn't told where it was to. Anyways, now more demons were crossing between realms. With the barrier gone, they seemed to think that humans were fair game. So the ex-spirit detective had seen his friends many times in the last three weeks.

 

He was actually eighteen now, after having spent three years in the Makai. Now he was back to being a detective, even though he was a lord. He was hanyou, and he was lord of the central lands. His friend Hiei was heir to the eastern lands, and Kurama was now heir to the southern lands. Yomi's son had been killed in the tournament. It was some dog demon that had won. He had been over a thousand years old, according to Kurama. Youko apparently told him that the inu was older than himself. Said spirit fox was about a thousand two hundred years old.

 

Speaking of friends, it appeared that his were coming over now. Moving to his apartment door, he opened it just as Kuwabara tried to knock. The human seemed surprised, to which Yusuke smirked. The two demons invited themselves in, to which the hanyou shrugged, then waved the human in. "What're you guys doing here?"

 

"Since there was nothing to do at the moment, the girls decided to have picnic. Even Koenma's invited." Kurama said formerly. "Hiei is going because Yukina asked him. Keiko and Botan wish for you to attend as well."

 

"And why does Keiko want me there?" His voice was slightly bitter as he spoke of his ex. Their break-up wasn't exactly a happy one. Of course, none of his friends knew anything about what she said. Some of them might kill her if they did. None of his friends knew about his new girlfriend either. Of course, said girlfriend was only sixteen.

 

"I'm not sure." Kurama said easily. "Why not come though. Botan also wants to see you, and it would be nice to do something together."

 

"Fine." He gave in with a sigh, knowing that the fox wanted him to come for some reason. An hour later and he was wishing he hadn't. Apparently the kitsune delighted in torturing him. Botan seemed to be fawning over him now, and he simply wanted to hit her with his spirit gun. Looking over, he saw that Hiei was smirking at his distress. Of course, he was enjoying himself. He and Mukuro had a thing going on from what he'd heard.

 

And Kurama was eyeing Shizuru. Kuwabara had finally given up on Yukina and was spending his time with Keiko. Yukina and Koenma were actually together though. It was an odd sight, seeing the demi-god practically drooling over the ice demoness. Another hour, and he had finally gotten the annoying ferry girl to go away. He had taken to staying near Hiei, who glared at anyone else who approached. The ex-detective mentally thanked the little fire demon as he relaxed against a tree. That's when a soft voice floated to the group. It held warmth and love, yet was strong, demanding, and firm. It seemed as if the voice held power.

 

"I can't believe that gramps told them that." A masculine chuckling followed the statement from the feminine voice. "Oh shut up Souta.... I'll laugh when you knock Hitomi up."

 

A slight silence was followed by sputtering as two people appeared from the trees. Neither paying attention to anyone else. "Just for that, I'll tell them you're having twins." The boy closed his eyes and raised his chin.

 

The action received a glare from the beautiful goddess that stood before them. She was clad in a pair of short shorts, and a tank top that said 'OMG Demons! Run for protection!'. It would help if the shirt didn't have three little stick figures running for a pack of condoms on it. That had most of the group's eyes widened. Especially Yusuke's. "Tell them that and I'll make sure you never have children... let alone be able to be with a woman."

 

The boy gulped at her threat. "You wouldn't."

 

A smile that seemed innocent appeared on her face. "Try me." Her voice held challenge in it as her eyes seemed to glimmer in amusement. Both turned to face forward, and she seemed surprised for a moment. Then she lunged forward and tackled the ex-detective, who began laughing happily. "Yusuke!"

 

Botan began glaring at the girl, as did Keiko. The others all seemed startled. Especially when Yusuke kissed her passionately. "I thought you'd still be gone." He said when they broke apart.

 

"I just got home yesterday." Her voice and aura both radiated happiness as her eyes sparkled a now sapphire color.

 

"You should've called me then."

 

"I was going to, but I was super tired." A tingle shot through her spine, and she slowly looked up to several other people. She hadn't realized that they were there until just now. Her muscles tensed slightly, but it was unnoticeable. "Are these the friends you were telling me about Yusuke?"

 

Yusuke realized that his friends really were there, and he sighed internally. Lifting himself from the ground, he also helped his girlfriend up. "Hai."

 

She gave a smile and bowed her head. "I'm Kagome Higurashi, pleasure to meet you."

 

The turquoise haired demon with red eyes stepped forward with a smile as well. "I'm Yukina Jaganashi."

 

"I am the great Kazuma Kuwabara, will you be my girlfriend?" The tall red head asked as he took her hand in his.

 

The question had her giggling. "I'm afraid I'm already taken sir, but we could be friends." Yusuke had wanted to hit his friend, but calmed at her reply. Souta mumbled something that sounded like 'another Miroku'.

 

Another red head stepped forward, this one had emerald green eyes. Kagome froze slightly, his appearance reminding her of someone else. He took her hand in his and brushed his lips against her knuckles. "I am Shuichi Minamino."

 

The woman's eyes widened slightly as she began giggling. "My friends will be so jealous." At everyone's questioning looks, she reiterated. "They're in your fan club." That was not something he wanted to hear.

 

A brunette woman stepped forward now, her presence seemed to call attention. A cigarette was held between her fingers as she looked inquisitively at the girl. "Shizuru Kuwabara." Kagome gave a nod and a slight smile.

 

Then another man stepped forward. "I'm Koenma Daioh."

 

Her eyes widened once again, though this time in recognition. She knew that name, and she now knew who this man was. The kitsune of the group as well as the other demon seemed to notice her reaction. Thinking of something quickly she giggled. "You have the same last name as King Enma."

 

Now it was the prince's turn to be shocked. Not wanting to give anything away, he gulped down his nervousness and asked "who?"

 

"King Enma of Spirit World. It's a story my grandfather always told me. He also said that there was a barrier between the worlds that kept all evil demons out." Sharing a glance with Souta, she sent him a look that said 'don't say anything'. "Grandpa seems to think he's a powerful priest. You see, we live on the Sunset Shrine. There's a lot of history there."

 

"Oh, perhaps I could come by sometime." Koenma said. "I'm rather interested in mythology and legends."

 

She knew why he was doing it, he wanted to see what they had on what was actually happening. "Of course. I'm sure you'd love the legend of the Shikon No Tama! It's the legend that the shrine's famous for."

 

"Right." Yusuke said, getting tired of talk on legends. "What're you doing out here anyways? And what's this about twins?"

 

The young woman did a very good impression of a growl at that, and turned a glare onto Souta. Said boy gulped and moved away from her. "My grandfather thought that it'd be a good idea to tell my friends I wasn't home because I was pregnant." A couple of the people present had to hold in a laugh at that. "I found out when Yuka called and asked how my morning sickness was. Then she asked me if you were the father." Now it was Yusuke's turn to choke. "But I'm out here, because I want to find an apartment. I'm moving out of the shrine."

 

"And I'm helping her look." Most eyes turned to him and he tried not to blush at the attention. "I'm Souta Higurashi, by the way."

 

"Hi." One of the unintroduced girls said. "Now go away, we're having a picnic here."

 

Kagome turned a glare onto the brunette now. "It's public park. He and I can stay here if we want to."

 

Before to much else could be said, Souta's cell phone started to ring. "Hello?... Wait, what?... Alright, hold on." Looking at Kagome, he handed her the phone. "She wants to talk to you."

 

The girl nodded and accepted the device. "Mom?... What!?... Why's he there?... I know, but it's been what, seven, eight years?... Fine, I'll be right there." Closing the phone, she handed it back to her little brother. "The man we're supposed to call father is at the shrine." Souta's eyes widened, as Kagome's merely darkened. Turning to the others in the clearing, she bid them farewell and told Yusuke that she'd call him later. Then gave him a kiss as she left.

 

On their way home, they were both off in their own thoughts. Kagome was angry. Not only was her father at the shrine, but it was his lover who brought him there. The man had left her mother for another man. It was rather infuriating really. But she supposed she should be over it. To her, it had been a long time since it happened. A very long time. As they crested the steps, the could both feel that something was off. Rushing into the house, they saw him. The man was covered in blood. At his side, stood his lover. And now Kagome knew exactly what her was. A demon. And she could feel the spirit energy swirling around her father. Rushing to the man's side, she called forth her own energy. The demon slowly backed away from her as he felt it rise. Turning a glare onto him as her powers went to work on her father, she allowed her voice turn deadly. "What happened to him Itsuki?"
