Just In Time

Kagome looked at Kikyou, and a small, evil smirk appeared. Kuronue stood back, and
yawned. "This is going to be fun." he murmured to himself. Kikyou began backing away, as
Kagome's power crackled around her.
"Y-you a-aren't r-r-really g-going t-to a-a-attack me, a-are y-you?" stuttered Kikyou, as
she took off at full speed. She was flung back by a blast of blue light.
"Kikyou, where do you think your going?" asked Kagome, as her hands glowed a light
blue color.
"Ring of hate!" yelled Kikyou, as she threw a black explosive circle. Kagome easily
caught it, as if it was a frisbee, and threw it back at Kikyou.
"Your little tricks can't harm me." Kagome taught Kikyou. "I draw power from the sun
during the morning, and the moon at night. Not only that, they heal me also."
"Wouldn't that make you invincible?" demanded Kikyou.
"No." replied Kagome.
"How?" asked Kikyou, as she got up with a wounded shoulder.
"Anyone with a quarter of a brain should be able to figure that out!" exclaimed Kuronue.
Kagome nodded her head, and raised her hand high into the sky.
"When the sun or moon is blocked, silly." said Kagome. "Though that doesn't mean I'm
weak. I can still easily defeat ten of you. The sun and moon just power me up, and give me quick
healing proprieties."
"What are you going to do?" asked Kikyou, trying to sound brave.
"Vent all my anger out on you." Kagome replied, as she faced her palm toward the sun.
"Tell me, Kikyou, do you like roasted things?"
"Yes, why?" asked Kikyou, suspiciously.
"Because your going to be roasted soon enough." Kagome replied, as the sun's heat
increased ten folds. The strange thing was, it was only directed at Kikyou. Two feet away from
Kikyou, it was normal temperature.
Kikyou fell to the ground, and started taking her clothes off. "I'll meet you somewhere
else." stated Kuronue, noticing what Kikyou was doing. Kagome nodded, and he scurried away.
"Kagome, please stop this." pleaded Kikyou desperately, as her skin started to get burned.
"Princess Kagome!" Kikyou cried.

~Kurama's POV~

Karasu started taking steps toward me, while I took steps back. "Rose whip." I yelled, and
lashed out at Karasu, who easily dodged. The next second, he had ripped the whip from me.
Suddenly a bomb went off on my hands and legs. I fell to the ground, unable to move at all.
Karasu pinned my arms and legs to the ground, and brutally kissed me on the lips. I
summoned a whip from my hair, but Karasu easily caught it. "You can't win. Now your mine."
stated Karasu with a sadistic grin. No! I won't let this happen!

***

~Kagome's POV~

I watched as Kikyou scorched in the hot sun. Suddenly a red wave length quickly flashed
across me. Kurama! He's in danger! That's what red stands for. I quickly released Kikyou, and
rushed off. I know I am going to get into big trouble for returning to earth with no permission,
but this isn't important anymore!
I teleported to the spot where the necklace I gave Kurama was blinking dangerously. I
quickly took in the sight and gasped. "Let go of him!" I yelled, as the guy turned toward me.
"You dare disturb us? I will kill you for that." murmured the guy, as he got off of
Kurama. I looked at Kurama, and could feel tears that threatened to fall. He was covered in his
own blood, and his lips was bleeding also.
His clothes were torn on top, but thankfully I made it in time, and no serious damage was
done. I turned my attention to the guy, as an energy bomb formed in his hand. He threw it at me.
"Midnight barrier!" I cried, as the blast disintegrated.

~Kurama's POV~

I was so relived with Karasu got off me. Who did that voice belong too? It sounds so
familiar, but I didn't even have the energy to open my eyes. I tried get my breath back, as a battle
ensued between Karasu and the unknown person. That scent, it belongs to.......Kagome!
I used all my strength to push myself off the ground, and crack open my eyes. There stood
Kagome, as she battled Karasu. But she looked slightly different. "Kagome." I called, my throat
was dry.
She turned her eyes to me, and I immediately regretted calling her. Karasu took this
chance, and threw a bomb at her. Kagome wasn't able to block in time, and received a direct hit.
"Kagome!" I yelled. "Karasu, you bastard!"
"Now, now, Kurama, do you care for that girl? Well, now I'll just have to kill her. You
belong to me!" stated Karasu in a taunting tone. He took steps toward me, and I could feel hatred
burning in me. Kagome finally came back to me, but he.....
"What do you think your doing?" demanded Kagome, as she stood up. There wasn't even
a scratch on her. I felt relief wash over me.

~Karasu's POV~

Who is this girl? I can't believe my attack did nothing to her! I powered up my bomb,
when a voice interrupted me. "Karasu! Get back here this instant!" called Kikyou.
"What is it?" I demanded.
"I am your goddess, and you have the responsibility to protect me!" shrieked Kikyou.
"And I need your protection now!"
"Fine!" I replied, as I turned off the mental connection. "Girl, your lucky this time." I
snarled. "Kurama, I will be back for you another time." I quickly leapt away, and hurried back to
the heaven realm.

~Kagome's POV~

I watched as Karasu left. "Kagome." murmured Kurama, as he fainted. I quickly raced to
his side, and held him close to me. The tears that I had been keeping in spilled. I just held him in
that alley, until I knew it was time to return. I teleported us to the doorstep of where Yusuke,
Kuwabara, and Hiei were located.
"Where is he?" asked Kuwabara from inside.
"How am I suppose to know?" asked Yusuke.
"Hn. The fox can take care of himself." stated Hiei calmly. You are so wrong. I smiled
down at Kurama, and placed a light kiss on his lips. I gently laid him down on the steps, and
waved my hand in the air, and erased all trace of my scent and tears.
"Take care of yourself." I murmured, as I knocked on the door, and quickly teleported
back to the heaven realm.

"Kagome!" called Sango. "How, how dare you!"
"I had to go!" I argued.
"Not that!" yelled Sango. "Why didn't you tell me to come with you!"
"I didn't have time." I replied. "Kurama was getting raped." Sango's eyes bulged out at
my reply, and didn't question farther.
"Am I in trouble?" I asked.
"No." replied Sango. "Kanna, Mayu, Rin, Kuronue, Akume, and I covered for you." I
hugged Sango, and murmured a thank you.
"There you are!" called an elderly goddess. "Hurry and get dressed! You are not allowed
out of your rooms until the ceremony begins, which isn't for three days."
"You kidding!" yelled Sango, as the goddess covered her ears.
"No." she replied, as she locked us into out rooms. "And don't try any tricks. They won't
work. Your parents made these special locks just for you two." I hate this! They could've at least
locked my with Sango!

~Kurama's POV~

I slowly opened my eyes. Kagome, where is she? I remember I saw her! "Kagome!" I
called, my voice hoarse.
"Kurama-san, what are you doing?" demanded Keiko, as she pushed me down. "Yusuke,
Botan, Kuwabara, Hiei! Kurama-san is awake!" The other four quickly scrambled into the room,
but Kagome wasn't among them.
"Where's Kagome?" I asked, refusing to lay down.
"Kurama." sighed Yusuke. "Kagome's dead. She isn't coming back."
"No." I argued. "I saw her. She was there, she was the one who kept me from getting
raped by Karasu."
"Raped, Kagome, Karasu, alive?" asked Kuwabara, who was trying to put things
together.
"Yes, Karasu was revived. He tried to rape me, and Kagome was there." I stated, as my
cheeks burned red at the mention of what Karasu tried to do.
"Kurama, your hallucinating." snorted Hiei. "When we found you, there was no trace of
Kagome's scent on you." I closed my eyes, and laid back down on the bed. So, this was all a
dream? But than, who saved me?

~Two day's later~

"Hey toddler!" greeted Yusuke, as Koenma scowled.
"Anyway." stated Koenma, changing the subject. "Glad you four could make it. I know
two of you aren't really ‘happy'. This might take your mind off of the sad things. In the heaven
realm,..."
"Heaven realm!" interrupted Yusuke. "I thought their was only the spirit, demon, and
human realm!"
"Yes, but the heaven realm is where the gods and goddesses dwell. They are holding the
mating ceremony, which is held every one billion years." continued Koenma.
"One billion!" yelled Yusuke.
"Yes, they age slow." replied Koenma.
"I can see why." added Yusuke, as he looked at Koenma.
"Watch it!" yelled Koenma. "Anyway, I am the replacement judge for my dad in the
tournament. Demons from the Makai are competing as well, and there are no rules saying they
can't kill the judges. So I want you to protect me."
"Why am I not surprised?" asked Yusuke. "Fine."
"And, if you want, you may also enter." added Koenma, looking at me and Hiei. "You
just sign up for whoever you want to fight for. Then you fight in the tournament, and if you win,
you win the goddesses hand in marriage, and you get to become a god. What level of god? It
depends who your marrying."
"What do you mean?" asked Kuwabara.
"Let's say if you marry a low level goddess, you are low level also. If you marry the high
goddess, you are the high god. Oh yeah, for this ceremony, the daughter's of the high god and
goddess are entering. I hear the eldest is heir to the heaven realm." finished Koenma.
"I'm not interested." I stated.
"Take this then." stated Koenma, as he threw each of us an item. "Kurama, the stone you
hold enables you to change into your Youko form and back at will. Hiei, your stone powers up
your fire attacks. Yusuke, your stone powers up your spirit energy. Kuwabara, your stone helps
you to think clearly. Though I don't think it's going to help you much."
"Hey!" yelled Kuwabara angrily.
"Come on, let's go!" yelled Koenma, as a portal to the heaven realm appeared. So all six
leaped into the portal. "Oh yeah, be careful, demons are allowed to kill you anywhere, unless said
otherwise."
"Now you tell us!" yelled Yusuke. This is going to be one dangerous mission. But even if
I die, it doesn't really matter.
