Chapter 4

~*~*Back at the Shrine*~*~

After lunch with her family, and a brief explanation to them about the cover story for her friends should anyone ask who they were, Kagome took her friends on a tour of her home. Occasionally she had to stop to explain the modern conveniences to the three slightly overwhelmed time travelers. The bathroom was truly a comical experience as Sango almost flushed poor Shippo down the toilet.

“Kagome you have a beautiful home, it is no wonder why you had such a hard time adapting to our lifestyle” Sango said a she looked at the pictures Kagome had on the mantle in the living room. Some were of Kagome as a small child, others of her and Souta, her mother and grandfather, and some with her and an older looking male with the same cobalt blue eyes Kagome herself possessed.

“That’s my father, over there are pictures I took of you all last summer” she said as she pointed to the far end of the room on a shelf.
There were several pictures, most of them candid, some of everyone, including Sesshomaru and Kouga. In a large frame there was a group photo that Sango remembered quite well, it was taken when they had Kohaku back, Naraku tricked them into believing they had saved him. He stood there beside her and Miroku, Inu Yasha and Kagome stood to the right and Kaede to the left with Shippo Kirara and Kouga. They all looked so happy, moments after the picture was taken Naraku attacked and took Kohaku away again. Sango turned around to face her friend with unshed tears still in her eyes. Miroku and Shippo were in the room playing video games with Souta. Suddenly Miroku’s head snapped up as Kagome turned to face the window that faced out into the court yard. Sango visibly tensed as Miroku spoke.

“Lady Kagome I feel strong demonic auras rapidly approaching”

“I feel them too there are three I think, and a fourth human, two seem familiar…hold on I know those auras…but that’s imposable he is not a demon…”

“Mama I thought you said there weren’t any demons here”

“I have never sensed them here before” Kagome said a she stared out the window. Whatever was going on it was heading straight for them.

“Shippo I need you to stay in the house with Souta… Miroku, Sango follow me, I think its time to return your weapons to their proper owners”

“What do you mean Lady Kagome? Our weapons are home." Miroku asked as he scratched his head.

"Not really, I have your weapons here, they are 500 years old but still in good condition...."


~*~*~*~Meanwhile~*~*~*~

The two men bolted out of Yusuke’s apartment complex; luckily they were just blocks from the shrine. Botan left in search of Kurama and Hiei, they weren’t difficult to find. They were at Kurama’s apartment; she explained the mission and transported them to the shrine just in time to see Yusuke and Kuwabara start to bolt up the shrine steps. The four raced up the stairs and begun to look around the shrine grounds for anything strange or demonic.

Hiei was about to release his Jagen eye to search for the demonic presence when suddenly the front door to the main house opened. Two women and a man stepped out.Beside the door they exited was a strange overly large boomerang, a gold staff, and a set of bow and arrows. One of the women and the man looked tense and ready to fight if need be. While the other woman looked relaxed, then she spoke.

“Hey ‘Bara! Yusuke! I didn’t expect you to come here I thought we were going to meet later, I was about to call you both… umm who are they? Are they friends of yours?” Kagome said as she looked over the two strangers before her warily trying to sense if they were in fact evil. One was a positively gorgeous red head, with the most beautiful emerald eyes, the other was short, well built, with gravity defying black hair and the most penetrating red eyes she had ever seen. His gaze reminded her of another stoic demon lord she left in the past. Both were hansom and their auras spoke of power but neither gave off evil.

“They are friends of ours… Kags not to be rude though umm have you seen anyone around here that doesn’t look normal?” Kuwabara asked as he looked at the two people standing with Kagome ‘Woah!!! that guy has a high spiritual awareness like me, and she gives me the willies’

Kagome looked at her cousin then to his friends and let a small giggle escape her lips before she answered. “No offence ‘Bara but the four of you fit that description perfectly, care to elaborate?”

Miroku stood between Kagome and Sango as he appraised the situation, he knew the men before him were demons, he also knew the orange haired man Kagome was talking to had spiritual powers much like Kagome only his were weak compared to his own or that of the woman he had come to respect at his sister and friend. Sango too was eyeing the men with the scrutinizing gaze of the slayer that she was, over the last few years with Kagome, Inu Yasha, and Shippo she had began to realize there was more to a demon than just the fact of their heritage, yet trust was still something to be earned.

“Nah Kags you wouldn’t understand, there are things in this world you would have to see to believe and even then you would doubt it…Umm who are your friends?” Kuwabara looked at his cousin with a far and away gaze in his eyes as though he were recalling something from his past.

“Hey aren’t these the people you had me make the id’s for Kags?” Yusuke was looking at Kagome’s friends, trying to detect if they were in fact the possible demon they were looking for.

“Oh I am sorry that was so rude of me, this is Miroku, and Sango, Sango is my half sister, and Miroku is her boyfriend, guys this is my cousin Kazuma Kuwabara, and my best friend Yusuke Urameshi, and their friends…Umm who are you two?”

“Allow me, I am Shuichi Minamono, and this is my comrade, Hiei." At the mention of his name the shorter black haired man simply nodded his head. " I am delighted to meet you” The beautiful red haired man stated as he took Kagome’s hand into his own and brought it up to his lips to lay a chaste kiss upon it. When he did so his demonic senses picked up traces of kitsune and holy energy ‘Strange, she has been near a Kitsune, recently I think, though I do not detect the source, and she has the power of a miko radiating through her blood…’

-That’s funny I could have sworn that all true mikos were long ago striped of power due to the split of the worlds. Red, we must find out more about this woman…-

‘I agree Youko’ He slowly released her hand as a small blush formed on her cheeks.

Suddenly there was a large crash coming from inside the house followed by a young boys scream

“Oh god, Shippo” Kagome turned to run into the house, Kuwabara and Yusuke also turned to run, just then the front door burst open as a young boy ran forward holding a small orange bundle cradled in his arms.

“Kagome I am sorry I took my eyes off of him for just a second, I didn’t know he would try and climb up the pantry shelves, he fell and…and I think he is hurt bad sis” he slowly passed the small bundle to his sister just everyone started to crowd around them that’s when Yusuke and the others realized the orange bundle was a boy of sorts.

“Woah, WHAT THE HELL...” Yusuke started to rant but was quickly cut off by a stern look from Kagome as she started to panic.

“Shut up!!! Shippo…Shippo swettie, wake up baby... mama is here, please open your eyes…. Miroku why isn’t he waking up?” tears were streaming down her face as she cradled the small boy.

“Lady Kagome lay him down, it looks like he has snapped his neck…it’s a miracle he is still breathing but he wont last much longer” she did as she was instructed.

“Now Lady Kagome I need you to focus, block everything out but my voice, if you want this to work you must do as I say everyone else please remain as quiet as possible”

“O…Kay” she sniffled as she tried to block out the noises, those around her just nodded. Sango looked pale as a ghost as she looked at the small child laying between her sister and the monk.

“Alright take my hand and lay the other over his heart, now focus on your power, look deep with in, you must focus on healing him, imagine mending the bones with your mind, picture his body whole and intact, I promise you wont hurt him if you focus on healing only”

Miroku now too concentrated on his own power trying to channel his control through Kagome, he had his hand resting on Shippo’s brow a soft pink light enveloped Kagome as a soft purple light surrounded Miroku. After a few moments the young boy between them started to move and began to open his eyes.

“Ma…ma, wha happened? His voice was weak but he was awake.

“Oh my precious little boy your ok, you scared me so much…don’t ever do that to me again I couldn’t take it if I lost you” she picked him back up from the ground and clutched him to herself as she stood, running her fingers through his hair.

“umm Kagome what the hell is going on, you don’t have a kid, and he looks all weird, what up with his feet and why the hell dose he have a TAIL?” Kuwabara bombarded the young woman with so many questions and statements so quickly it could make ones head spin. He truly thought he knew everything there was to know about his cousin. Why did have to be the last to know anything?

“Bara, I don’t need this right now, he IS my son, and I just about lost him, just...*sigh* everyone go in the house and I will explain….”
