Sometimes, Two Wrongs Do Make A Right
Chapter Four
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yusuke could of sworn he saw Kagome's face get a tad bit
redder. But as soon as he saw it, it was gone. 'I was just
imagining it.'
"Yusuke!!! Don't play with me. Exactly what are you doing here?"
Kagome said. He wasn't suppose to be here. He was suppose to be
in school, that's what was they agreed to if he wanted Keiko
back.
"Yusuke school IS still going on, if your skipping classes again
your ruining the mission."
The receptionist had stopped typing and was now looking at the
two teenagers interested in there conversation. "Let's take this
outside Yusuke." Kagome said as she dragged him out of the room.
When they were out of hearing range Kagome continues. "So what
are you doing here?"
"Do you know the girls skirt's in this school is WAY shorter
than at my school?" Yusuke said looking at Kagome's exposed legs.
Kagome growled. "Okay..Okay" Yusuke said putting up his hands in
defeat. "First of all, Keiko isn't in my last period class so she
won't know I skipped. Second I wanted to tell you that were
making a lot of progress. Earlier today she said to me and I
quote "Wow Yusuke! You are really changing for the best I mean
your grades are improving. Maybe you care more than I thought."
Third I just needed to tell you I couldn't make any cunning
plans today because I have to go to work."
Kagome was happy they were making progress. But deep down she
felt a pang of jealousy. Ignoring it for now she concentrated on
Yusuke's 'job'.
"Yusuke exactly what do you do?" Kagome said as she looked Yusuke
up and down. Like before he tensed up a little. "What's the big
deal with you and my job? It's no big deal...just a regular job."
Yusuke all but shouted. "Well Yusuke.." Kagome started keeping her
voice down "..You seem more of the type that doesn't care enough
to keep a job yet sacrificing the one you love for it." Kagome
said looking at Yusuke suspiciously.
"Like I said before Ka-Go-Me, it's the only job I know of that
I could do what I love without being judged as a street thug."
Yusuke said feeling very proud that he wasn't ALL lying.
"Yusuke I don't think your a 'street thug' I just think that
your a little misunderstood by people. All in All your sort of
a nice...guy."
As Kagome finished her statement the bell rang. Yusuke was
surprised at what she said. Usually people immediately label him a
bad egg because he was always in a fight, but more than half
the time he never started the fight.
"Well Yusuke I got to go see ya' later." Kagome said as she ran
to meet up with some friends. (You know the friends I'm talking
about, I'll give you a hint...."You know Kagome, you and Hojo make
a cute couple. LOL)
Looking at the time Yusuke realized he was going to be late for
the meeting with Koenma.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was currently walking home after separating from her three
sometimes annoying friends. She was in deep thought.
'What is he hiding from me. I just know it has something to
with abnormal energy I felt he was giving off. Maybe he has one
of those secrets like I have.' Kagome laughed out loud.
When Kagome went into the house there was a note on the table.
Dear Kagome,
Your grandfather and I went to your aunt's
house for a while and Souta is staying over at a friend so
you'll be alone until late tonight. If your planning to go back
to the past before we come back please leave a note. Love you!
Mom...
Kagome sighed and put the letter back on the living room table.
"I don't think I'll be going to the past ANY time soon." Kagome
mumbled to her self.
"Think again Kagome." Said a voice from behind Kagome. Looking
around Kagome saw the last person she expected to see.
Inuyasha...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay pacifier breath what's the mission?" Yusuke said looking at
Koenma.
"It's nice to see you too Yusuke." Koenma said letting his
sarcasm show.
"Okay you guys may want to sit down for this one cause it's a
LONG explanation that I WON"T repeat.
As everyone sat down Koenma got down from his seat and walked
over to the television screen. Luckily the couch was facing the
screen that everyone except Hiei was sitting on.
"Okay I'm going to need you all on this mission because it's
very important. Even you will be going with them Botan."
"Me!" Botan said pointing at herself.
"Yes. Okay this.." Koenma started pointing at the screen which
currently showed the pitcher of a sphere shaped jewel. "..is the
Shikon No Tama. If your a demon that has been around like Kurama
you'll know what it is. This small jewel held unbelievable power
that human and demon alike wanted during the Warring States Era.
If a demon or human used it, the jewel would become tainted.
Because of this the jewel was protected by a group of demon
exterminators."
Koenma paused a second.
"Even though these exterminators were very strong...the burden was
to much for them to handle so they gave the jewel to a very
strong priestess named Kikyou..." On the screen came a picture of
a woman in a red and white Kimono. Her faced was shadowed so
you couldn't see her features.
'Kikyou..were have I heard that name before.' Yusuke tried to
think back.
"How come that girls face is shadowed?" Kurama.
"That's because we don't know exactly what she looks like. Know
where was I? Oh Yeah..so the priestess Kikyou protected the jewel
for many demons and humans alike. Unfortunately Kikyou fell in
love with one of the demons that wanted the jewel. So far all
we know is that they both were betrayed somehow and it led to
a seal being put on the demon Kikyou loved by Kikyou. Kikyou had
also died that day, her last wish was the Shikon No Tama to be
burned with her body."
"That's such a sad story." Botan said.
"Hn. What does that have to do with our mission?" Hiei said not
really caring to admit he also thought the story was sad.
"I was getting to that. Sixteen years ago a girl was born. She
was labeled the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyou. I was
suppose to be informed of all reincarnation cases but because of
some forgetful ogres I didn't know about it. So for sixteen the
girl led a normal life. She was inconspicuous so no one really
knew what power this girl had. Last year there were reports of a
demon in Tokyo that didn't come from Mekai(sp?). Also there were
also reports of a girl disappearing for days then showing up
again out of nowhere. Again this information wasn't brought to my
attention. Not until large amounts of energy were being sensed
from Tokyo did someone bring the situation to my attention. We
traced the large amounts of energy to these two things."
The picture on the screen changed again to two images side to
side.
"This is the reincarnation of Kikyou and the well which we
traced a large amount of energy to.
Yusuke couldn't believe what he saw.
"That's Kagome."
