Torn In Two

Warnings: Language


Yomi stood in his great hall and waited for his guest to arrive. Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke had not long left here. Another mission as Koenma had called it, was going on. It seemed that the mission that they had just finished was the same as this one and it was not over. Yomi didn’t really care about the humans but he didn’t want to see the rule of the Makai go to shit. He had every intention of winning the next tournament when Enki decided to hold it. He would be the ruler of the Makai. He felt the different powers as the group headed towards the great hall. He knew when they entered the room. He caught the scent of lavender and jasmine. Boy, this was going to be interesting having two females in the Makai and living in his home. One was a miko he could tell, she had some intense powers. He wouldn’t mess with her, he had no desire to become ash. The other one he could feel was just an ordinary human girl. She had some power but nothing compared to the miko. He also felt the power of the Shikon no Tama coming from both girls. He knew that demons all throughout the Makai were going to be able to feel it also. ‘Shit! I’m going to have to up security around here. I can’t have demons trying to get into my palace. This was definitely a bad idea to bring the girls here.’As the demons and girls walked past him and into the castle he caught a certain scent; lust. Someone was lusting after someone else. They were all to close together for him to figure out who it was exactly. They all stopped in the great hall and waited for Yomi to speak. He just stood there and took in all he could. He then felt where the desire was coming from. Oh this was going to be interesting. Two demons lusting after the same female.


“Welcome back my friends and welcome new ones. I know that the girls are probably tired from the trip so I will have someone show them to their rooms while we gentleman talk about the case some.” He snapped his finger and a little one-eyed demon came running in the hall. Kagome had seen lots of different demons but this one that came in was pathetic looking. His one eye took up most of his face and oh my Gods, what in the hell kind of color was he? He looked much like a baby shit green. She could have sworn that she felt fear coming from the thing as it bowed to it’s master.


“Follow me.” the thing squeeked.


As the girls turned to walk away, Yusuke could have sworn that he heard someone scuff “gentlemen my ass.” He couldn’t make out who said it but he had a good idea that it was Kagome. The guys all walked into a huge room filled with books and had a huge table sitting in the middle. The smell of old leather books was throughout the room. Then it occurred to Yusuke, ‘Why does he have books the bastard can’t see?’ and he seriously doubted that the great demon Lord would read braille.


Kurama knew that these two missions were very important if Yomi was still backing Enma. Yomi was definitely a guy who only worried about what would hurt what belonged to him. On the way to Yomi’s Kurama had tried to keep a straight face at the tension that was floating between Yusuke and his old girlfriend. He had told himself numerous times that Yusuke was crazy to let her go. Kurama had no intention of being with a human girl but his feelings for Keiko had been there since he had meet the girl. At that time she was with Yusuke and he would never do that to one of his best friends. He was still trying to figure out if he should make a move or not. If he did, would Yusuke turn on him or would he accept it? He had a good idea of the answer.


They all took seats around the table and watched as a lower demon came in to pour them drinks. Yusuke wasn’t sure what was going to be discussed here. He just wanted to go and pound the hell out of the two guys and then it would all be over. He sure as hell wasn’t going to just sit here and babysit the girls.


Yomi was the first to speak. “Now, as of now there is nothing for us to do. The demon attacks on Enki have stopped for the moment. They must be coming up with a new plan. Plus, I am pretty sure they know about the girls and I believe that they will do whatever they have to get them. Our main goal right now is to protect the girls until we know how we can stop these guys.”


“Wait hell. Why don’t we just go and kill them? That would be the end of it.” Yusuke wouldn’t admit that right now he wanted to fight. The tension between him and Keiko was more than he could bare. He just needed to hit someone to relieve some of his frustration.


“Oh Yusuke, that hot head of yours is going to get you into trouble one of these days. Well that would be simple enough but we have no idea where they are hiding. Nobody has seen either of them. You would think that it wouldn’t be hard to find a demon who has paired up with a human. And I’m sure that if the demons under him knew that source of information that they would go the other way but so far they have been very smooth. The demons get the orders from demons higher than them. I have some demons inside who report back to me with whatever information they can get. But in the meantime, we will be making sure that the girls are prepared for whatever lies ahead of them. I have arranged for some of my lower demons around here to attack them.” Yomi actually gave a little smile at what he had said. He wanted to know what the miko was capable of. He knew that he was going to have to replace some of his staff though.


“WHAT?” Yusuke yelled. The chair he was sitting on went flying back as he jumped up. How could Yomi do that. Keiko couldn’t defend herself. She didn’t know how to fight and she didn’t have any spiritual powers like Kuwabara. She would get hurt or if the worse came she would die.


“Don’t worry. They will not hurt them. I only have little demons much like the one who took them away to their rooms doing the task. Anyone of us know that they do not stand a chance with the two girls with the power of the jewel in them. This is just to be sure that they will be ready when the time comes. And I am sure that one of you guys will always be close by to help. On top of that the girls will have normal training session with all of us. Hopefully, by the time the final battle come, if it comes, the girls won’t have to rely on us.”


Kurama and Hiei just looked at each other. Yusuke knew that Kieko wouldn’t want anything to do with him much less have him help to train her. He needed to talk to her and see how things were between them. He couldn’t stand it if she still hated him. Yusuke moved and picked the chair up and placed it back at the table and headed down a hall. He saw the little demon lead the girls this way. He walked for about ten minutes when he heard voices up ahead. He walked up to a door on the right when he heard his name.



“So what was that look between you and that Yusuke guy?” Kagome asked Keiko. They were in Keiko’s room. The walls were a soft blue with gold trim. The bed looked like it could sleep ten people. The statues were beautiful. After Kagome had seen her’s, which was a beige color and had about the same size bed, she had to come and see what was in Keiko’s. The rooms were connected with a huge bathroom. The bathtub was the size of an in ground swimming pool. Kagome knew that she and Keiko were in this together so she saw no harm in getting to know each other.


“Well, to be honest, we used to date. We were best friends and then started dating. When he found out that he was a demon I had a problem with it at first but then I got over it. I didn’t care that we weren’t basically the same. I was looking forward to being with him. He left for three years and when he came back everything had changed.”


“Was it another girl?” Kagome asked. If it had been then she could relate to that problem. She knew what it was like to have feelings for a guy and he was in love with another. Even though she knew now that she wasn’t in love with Inuyasha she did care about him. It had hurt every time he had went running to Kiyko.


Keiko looked down at her hands. “No it wasn’t. He confessed that he didn’t love me like that. He was all I knew when it came to love. I was really hurt at first. After he left I cried a lot . Sometimes it seemed like I would never stop the tears from coming but then Koenma came and told me the story of the Shikon no Tama and how half of it ended up in me. I was scared at first with all the stories he had told me and from what I had read about it. About how so many demons had done whatever they could to get it. I just knew that I had to learn to take care of myself. You see, I never had a problem smacking Yusuke whenever he needed it but I have only been really attacked once by these zombie like things. They were being controlled by a demon so it is pretty close to fighting one for your life. Koenma told me that I had to go to Genkai’s and learn how to fend for myself. I’m not Yusuke but I think that I can hold my own until help were to come. While training over the past two years I realized that Yusuke was right. He didn’t love me like that but in truth I didn’t love him like that either. He probably thinks that I am still mad at him. We haven’t talked in two years. There wasn’t much time to talk since this case started.”


“Then why don’t you go look for him and talk. I’m sure it would help ease some of the tension that has been floating around all of us since this whole thing started.” Kagome suggested. She tried too act like she hadn’t notice it but it wasn’t exactly like nobody could see the look in the eyes of the old couple. She thought it wise not to mention what Yusuke had said to her that night at Kazuma’s house. Besides, the guy was just being a jerk ass.


“ I will. When I decide that he has suffered enough. I kind of like the idea that he thinks that I am still hurting over him. That way he will feel so guilty he will practically be eating out of my hand.” Keiko gave a big smile and laughed when Kagome playfully slapped her on her arm. She could see that being here with Kagome was going to make things easier and a whole lot of fun. She was not that same Keiko that Yusuke had walked out on.


“I like the way you think. I believe these guys think that we can’t handle ourselves. I think that we should prove them wrong. What do you say we start up a little trouble?” Kagome got up and headed to the door. “ I’m going to get a shower and then we will let the show begin!” She turned and left the room.


Yusuke stepped away from the door and ran quietly down the hall. He didn’t want to get caught listening to their conversation. He rounded the corner just as the door opened. He looked around and saw Kagome walk to her room door. That girl was going to be trouble. And Keiko, damn she had changed. So she had plans for him huh? Well, he would let her think that he was still feeling sorry. Then he will prove her wrong by wooing Kagome.


Kagome knew it would feel good to get a nice hot shower. She grabbed her clothes, a towel, and headed to the shower stall. It was also huge. It just didn’t have one shower head it had three on each wall. It was in a room off to the side by itself so there was no shower door or curtain. Kagome turned on the water and watched the steam rise. She took off her clothes and stepped into the hot streams. It felt so good for the hot water to be pounding her tensed muscles. She stood there and her thoughts went back to Inuyasha. She still couldn’t believe he was gone. Keiko had tried to get her to talk about it but she wasn’t ready. If she talked about it than she would be admitting to herself that he was really dead.


She was standing in the shower with her hands on a wall when a demon came in and took a swipe at her. She felt his energy just in time and ducked the blow. She turned and gave him a roundhouse in the stomach. He was sent flying into the mirror over the sink. He didn’t stay down though. He got up and charged her again. She thought for a minute and she looked for a weapon. The only thing she had was a bar of soap that she had brought in with her. She picked it up and threw it at him. The THUD was heard over the stream of water. Kagome had hit her mark. Of course she knew that a little bar of soap was not going to stop him but it was really funny to see the demon with the imprint of soap on his forehead. She let out a laugh and did a little dance in the shower. With her arms twirling in the air she swung her hips from the left to the right.


Now the demon was pissed. He ran for the girl again. She stood there and waited. As soon as he was close enough she threw out her fist and it met with his nose. He was knocked on his ass and put his hands up. “Okay, I give up. This was just a test. I wasn’t really going to hurt you. Yomi told me to come and attack you.” She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. These guys were suppose to be protecting her and one was sending demons to kill her. Oh that shit was it. She was beyond pissed. She put her hands in front of her and pink light engulf the demon. Kagome looked on the floor to the pile of ash that was still smoking. She looked up when she heard footsteps come into the bathroom. She meet eyes with the same fire demon who kept burning holes into her.


Hiei stopped when he stood in front of the naked miko. She was so beautiful. He had been in the hall when the fight had started. He had used his jagan eye to watch what the miko could do. He had fairly enjoyed seeing her dance around in the shower. He was about to run in to help her when she had decked the hell out of the demon. She just stood there and watched him look at her. Her raven hair was hanging down in her face and clung to her body. He could see the droplets of water running down her shoulders and continued their path down. Her breast were a perfect size. He wondered what it would be like to taste the sweet nipples. His eyes started to go lower when her hand went down and made a notion to look back up. He looked up and into her eyes.


“Are you just going to stand there ogling my goodies or are you going to give me my towel?” She didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed. She didn’t care that the short shit was looking at her. It wasn’t like he was ever going to get his hands on her.


Hiei gave a smirk and reached for the towel. Before she could grab it he yanked it back. He wanted to look at her just a little while longer. There was no need for her to hide was he was going to possess. “ I would suggest that next time you ask a little nicer.”


“Fine then!” was all she said before getting out of the shower and walking right pass him butt naked. She would show him that he didn’t bother her. He would NOT get the best of her, no man would. Hiei watched as the miko stalked past him dripping wet. Her curves were swaying as she moved through the doorway. ‘Wait a minute, is that a tattoo?’ He focused his eyes a little harder and sure enough she had a blue phoenix fighting with a black dragon tattooed on her left shoulder.


She went back into her room and got dressed. She chose something simple to wear seeing that she could be attacked at any time. She pulled up her red hip hugger jeans and put on a white turtle neck sweater that was cut off in right above her belly button. She decided that her sneakers would be more comfortable around here. She opened her bedroom door and was about to walk to the dining hall when Hiei appeared in front of her again. “Listen shorty! I don’t need you to protect me. I told you that I can take care of myself. And I’m sure that you have just seen it for yourself. Now if you piss me off you might end up like him so leave me alone.” Kagome was getting more pissed as the minutes passed. If things kept going like this she was going to take on every demon she came across friend or foe.


“But who is going to protect you from yourself?” Hiei wanted to see just how far the miko was willing to go. He wanted to see if she was truly worthy of him. He would do whatever he had to, to show her that he was going to have her.


“What? What are you talking about?” Kagome was not in the mood. If there was one thing she really hated it was very cocky short men. His ego had to make his head so heavy that she was surprised he could stand up straight. She would show him that he had no effect on her.


Hiei closed in and pinned her with his arms to the wall. She gasped when his lips took her’s. Her first instinct was to push him away but then his lips felt so good. Her eyes stayed open as her mind began to swirl. ‘My Gods, this feels good.’ Hiei felt that the girl’s body hadn’t relaxed yet but he would change that. He nipped at her bottom lip and brushed his tongue over the sweetness. For a moment he thought he heard a whimper escape her but the thought was ruined when she pushed him back. Before his mind could contemplate what had just happened a fist met with his right eye.


He was so stunned by the blow that he hadn’t noticed that it had forced him back into the opposite wall. He looked over at the miko and seen her holding her fist in front of her. Damn, she looked good standing there like a professional boxer. Hiei was just about to say something when Yomi walked around the corner. He felt it as he began walking down that hallway. At first when he felt her aura rise he just assumed that one of his demons was doing their job but then the smell of arousal caught his attention. He knew it wasn’t Yusuke because he was in the dining hall talking to Kieko. So that meant it had to be Hiei. He stopped right in front of Kagome separating her from Hiei.


“I have come to inform you that dinner is served. The others are waiting for us.” He felt an arm grab his. His head turned to the direction of the miko. He could smell the sweet scent. It was too bad he was not interested in her that way. He was sure that he could show her a thing or two but he would leave that up to Hiei or Yusuke. Whichever was brave enough to make to that point.


“Thank you. Yomi, isn’t it? Would you mind walking me to dinner? There are one too many creeps... oops, I meant creepy things in this place.” Kagome said as she smiled as she looked over at Hiei.


“It will be my honor. As long as you promise to not try and turn me into ash.” Yomi replied. He started to lead her away when she looked back at Hiei. He was still standing there and she couldn’t help it. She stuck her tongue out at him and then turned back around and continue to walk with the great lord. Of course, the only reason why she wanted Yomi to walk with her is because she didn’t think her legs would support her. The kiss wasn’t what had taken her by surprise, but the way it had made her feel. She had kissed Inuyasha before but it was nothing like that. When his lips had touched hers it was like a bolt of lightening had shot threw her entire body. The sensation had turned to needles all over her skin when he began to nibble on her lip. She couldn’t handle that sort of pleasure now. That was why she had hit him.




At dinner, all the guys sat talking about what had to be done and totally ignored the girls. Kagome and Kieko was sitting all the way at the end of the table having their own little discussion. No one paid them any attention. It was making Kagome even more pissed. Here she and Keiko were, two people who had half of the Shikon no Tama in them and all the guys were at the other end of the table talking like old football buddies.


“So do you think if I stood up and started stripping that any of them would notice?” Kagome asked as she played with the meat on her plate. She had been hungry after her attack but after the kiss she had so much going threw her mind that she couldn’t eat.


Keiko was also playing with her food. She was still a little nervous about being here. She knew that she didn’t have as much power as Kagome. In a way, she feared for her life. But then she looked down at the end of the table where the guys still ignore them. She knew that Yusuke wouldn’t let anything happened to her. “Not a chance. They are so tied up in this case that you could walk over and fart in their faces and they wouldn’t notice. I thought that they are supposed to be looking out for us?” Keiko noticed that another little demon had just walked into the room and was bringing a platter of what looked like desert.


“Let’s see if they notice this.” Kagome said and she extended her leg just as the little demon walked right by her. He tripped over her foot and the tray with the desert went flying. All the guys stopped talking and looked up at the tray. It came down in slow motion and dropped right down on Kurama’s head. The other guys just sat there staring at their friend who was covered in something that looked like pudding dripping off of his head. They heard a soft giggle and looked at the girls at the end of the table. Kagome and Keiko were hiding their smiles but couldn’t hide their laughs. Especially when one let out a snort. At that both girls just let it out. They laughed louder and started to point at the red head.


“Did you just snort?” Yusuke asked. Kagome shook her head but it did no good when she was still laughing and another snort came out. The girls had tears coming out of their eyes they were laughing so hard. Keiko stopped laughing for a second and looked at Yusuke.


“That was good Kags. Let’s see if we can do better.” Keiko grabbed a piece of meat off of her plate and let it fly. Yomi was in mid-sentence about to yell at his guest when the meat hit him in the forehead. It stuck there for a second and then slid down to land in his lap.


“Now that was good Keiko. He didn’t see that one coming.”


“Of course he didn’t see it coming. He is a blind motherfucker. He couldn’t see the broad side of your ass Kagome.” The girls both stood up and began throwing whatever food they could get their hands on. Kurama grabbed some of the desert that was on his shoulder and threw it back. In a few minutes food was flying all over the dining hall. Yusuke pegged Kags with a roll in her nose. She grabbed her nose and looked at him. Now she was getting a little pissed. Instead of grabbing food she grabbed the plated in front of her and threw. When Yusuke dodged it and it hit the wall Yomi stood up.


“ENOUGH!” his voice bounced off the wall. Everyone looked around at the mess. Yusuke, Kurama, Keiko, and Kagome were all covered in food. Hiei had dodged everything when he had jump and stood on a high shelf on the wall. He had thought it was funny when the tray of desert had landed on his friend’s head. What surprised him the most was how these two human girl were actually crazy enough to defile Yomi’s dining hall. Nobody ever messed with what belonged to Yomi. Hiei knew little of this Keiko except that she used to be with Yusuke but that was not the same girl that sat before them now. She had changed. Yomi had a little bit of juice still on his forehead and the meat was at his feet.


“I’ve think we have made our point Kags. Let’s go get a shower. Leave these barbarians to continue their talk.” Keiko began to walk around the table and stopped next to Kurama. She put her finger in some of the pudding that was still on his shoulder and lifted it to her mouth. She sucked on her finger and then let out a soft moan. “This taste good,” and she walked out of the room with Kagome at her side.


The guys sat there all in shock at what Keiko had just done. Yusuke had never seen her act that way before. What had happened to the timid girl who used to boss him around? Kurama was thinking something totally different. He could see now that he was going to have to make his move and make it soon. After what she had just done he didn’t give a damn what Yusuke would do. But Kurama was not the only one who was liking what he saw; Keiko. Yomi had liked the idea that the girl was brave enough to hit him with a piece off meat. Then when he heard the way she had made that sexual response he felt his blood boil. He was going to be the first one to have her alone tomorrow for training.

That night Keiko and Kagome sat on Kagome’s talking about what they had done at dinner. Keiko felt a lot of tension lift off of her shoulders having a girlfriend here with her and who she could talk to about what was going on. Over the past two years she spend most of that time with Genkai. She had only left there twice and that was to see Kuwabara and Yukina. It felt good to have a kind of girls night in.


“Did you see the look on Yomi’s face when that meat went splat right in the middle of his forehead? Where did you learn to throw like that?” Kagome asked as she rolled on her stomach. She had put Inuyasha in the back of her mind for now and decided that she would face it when she confronted Naraku.


Keiko was laying on her back with her head next to Kagome’s shoulder. “Yeah, I did. So what do you think of all the guys?” Keiko asked and gave a smug smile. Kagome wouldn’t admit it but she was curious to know more about Hiei. She could still feel his lips on hers. She almost wished that he would kiss her again. But then there was Yusuke. He was cute and he had seemed interested in her. Maybe she would figure both guys out and then make up her mind who she might go for. For right now she just couldn’t decide.“I don’t know. I guess I still have some anger to vent. But that was the best fun I’ve had in a long time. I have spent so much time training over these past two years that fun just wasn’t an option. I guess it was the same with you? But everything seems so different now. Before I was just some simple girl who basically had a boyfriend who was a demon. And I stood by him and watched him fight with other demons. But so much has changed. Now I have something special in me and most demons will do anything to kill me to get it. It is like now I am more a part of Yusuke’s life than I was before. You know what I’m saying? Well Yusuke, of course, is a very good friend. He will always be my best friend. I don’t know too much about the other three. This is the first time I’ve meet Yomi. I think it is amazing that he is blind and doesn’t run into the walls. Got a nice ass though.”


Kags slapped her friend on her arm. “I haven’t noticed. What do you know about the short one?” Kagome said that hoping that she wasn’t too obvious.


Keiko sat there for a minute and thought. “Not a whole lot. I’ve seen him fight and I can tell you that he doesn’t believe in mercy. He kind of has that ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude. I haven’t heard him say too much. He kind of just stands there and grunts like an ogre. I’m surprised that he don’t drag a woman by her hair and grunt ’My woman.’”


Both girls started laughing. “Hey what do you say we go for a midnight stroll?” Kagome asked. Kagome wanted to start more trouble. She wanted to walk now and think of ways that she could really piss the guys off.


“Sounds good but I don’t feel like getting dressed.” Both girls looked down at the t-shirts and undies that they were wearing. The shirts barely went passed their thighs. All you could see on both girls were nothing but long legs. “The hell with it. We are going to be staying here for awhile. I am going to make myself at home. Let’s go.” Kagome said and headed for the door. Keiko ran up beside her and they headed down the hall.
