-----------------~*Chapter 6*~------------------
Tree’s whipped by in a blur of green and brown as the young fire apparition raced from tree branch to tree branch. Swiftly jumping to the ground he drew his sword in one fluid arch cutting down the tree in front of him. Standing still he watched as it slowly fell, causing the ground to shake and birds to take flight around him. Panting he sank to his knees to rest against what was left of the tree trunk. A frustrated growl formed in the back of his throat.
‘/Damnit. I can’t get that annoying girl…’Kagome’…out of my mind. Why?/’
His thoughts flashed back to that heated time he spent with her in the hall. The feel of her soft plump lips on his, the hot wetness of her mouth. How her body seemed to mold perfectly to his as he grasped her tiny waist…Damnit all! No matter how many demon’s he destroyed or tree’s he cut down he couldn’t stop thinking about her. He hadn’t stopped running since he left her and yet he found no weariness in his body, in fact he felt energized and ready to take on anything…anything except her that is.
‘/Stop it you pansy ass. It’s just a girl. Not a demon, nothing that wants to kill you…but maybe that’s what’s so terrifying. She DOESN’T want to kill me…but if that’s the case what DOES she want?/’ confused and so wrapped up in his own thoughts he didn’t hear of feel Kurama approach him until he layed his hand on his shoulder. Standing up abruptly he brushed off the fox’s hand before turning to him slightly to watch him out of the corner of his eye.
“What is it you want fox? Couldn’t sleep?” Hiei inquired.
“Yes and no. I need your help on something.”
“Hn, is that all?” Beginning to walk away he was stopped by Kurama’s response.
“It’s about Kagome.”
Turning his full attention towards the fox he emotionlessly questioned, “And what makes you think I give a damn about some human onna?”
Kurama smiled knowingly. “Because if you didn’t you would have kept on walking.”
“Hn.”
Taking his lack of response as defeat Kurama sat down on the stump Hiei had been resting on moments ago.
“What would you do if your sister possessed something that Koenma wanted and you were under direct orders to get it, even if it meant potentially ending your sisters life?”
“Hn. I wouldn’t give it to him then. Simple as that.”
“But what is there was a chance that he wouldn’t do anything bad and let her live a normal life, and you would be let off the hook?” Deep amethyst eyes stared into blazing ruby ones as he searched for any kind of hint as to what he was going to say next.
“If I were you I’d confront both Koenma and Kagome about this. I’m sure they can figure some kind of deal out between the two of them in regards to the jewel.” Turning once more Hiei went to leave before being stopped again by Kurama.
“But wait! How did you know I was talking about the jewel.”
“Hn. It was easy enough to figure out, you gave me enough clues.” With that Hiei vanished into the dark of night.
---------------------------------------
As morning came Kagome found herself following the same routine she made the other morning, except this morning she managed to avoid bumping into a half asleep Kurama on the way out of the bathroom. Slipping on her shoes she stepped outside into the chilly morning air to be greeted by a not so asleep Kurama. Walking to school and entering the school grounds she was surprised to see everyone in the group except Hiei greet her and Kurama. Feeling slightly saddened by the lack of presence shown by the fire apparition she kindly declined hanging out with the others and told them she was heading to class early. Walking into the school she felt much better getting out of the cold and headed towards the classroom to put her stuff away. Walking into the classroom she let out a small gasp at the site in front of her. Their sat Hiei kicked back in his desk, feet on the table as he leaned back in his chair. Over his boy’s uniform he had a white scarf draped casually over his neck.
‘What is he doing here!’
‘/Don’t be flattered. I only came here to learn./’ Came Hiei’s sarcastic reply in her mind
‘Oh whatever flame boy. I wasn’t the one who ran away.’ Smugly she placed her bag on the ground next to her chair and proceeded to leave the classroom before a warm hand caught her wrist. Turning around she came face to face with deep pools of ruby. His eyes flashed bright red for a second before darkening once again.
“I’m sorry.” Was all he said as he let go of her wrist leaving the classroom himself, and a confused and slightly angry girl behind.
------------------------------------------
Class flew by for a second day and before anybody knew it it was time for lunch. Hiei had come back shortly after the final bell rang to start class and had ignored the teacher as she scolded him for being late. Both he and Kagome hadn’t said a word to each other, only sneaking peaks when they thought the other wasn’t looking.
Walking up to the usual eating spot Kurama and Kagome joined the group. Before she sat down Kagome looked around for Hiei before spotting him leaning on the fence a few yards away from the group. Setting down her lunch next to the group she turned and walked to the spaced out fire apparition ignoring the confused stares of every one else. Walking up to Hiei she stopped right before him as not to startle him too much. When he turned his head at her expectedly she smiled and in one fluid movement faster then anyone could comprehend grabbed his hand and turned back towards the group pulling him behind her. In shock Hiei did nothing to stop her as she stopped in front of the gawking group before dropping down to a sitting position pulling Hiei with her. Squeezing the hand she held she wasn’t surprised when it was wrenched from her hold as soon as the owner realized she still had a hold on it. A crooked smirk adorned her face as she turned her attention back to the group.
“We need to talk.”
Confused stares only deepened as they all glanced at each other. The only ones who seemed to keep themselves composed were Hiei and Kurama. Yukina was the only one to have the courage to speek up and sat up slightly in attentiveness.
“About what Miss Kagome?”
“Well first off I need to apologize for stalking off yesterday and kissing Hiei, that’s not ho-“she was abruptly cut off by surprised gasps and laughter.
“Oh My”
“You WHAT?!? Hahaha, that’s great! I always knew he was a big softie…or should I say little softie? (lol who remembers that episode? Gotta love it!) Haha-ow! Fuck Kurama you didn’t have to hit me THAT hard.”
“I was merely trying to save your life, but don’t mind me, if you want to die go on ahead and continue.” As Kurama said this Yusuke looked over cautiously at the seething Hiei who looked like he was ready to spring up and impale him on his sword.
Gulping Yusuke did a three finger wave twards Hiei and turned his attention back to Kagome who had been unnaturally silent this whole time. “Ahem, ya continue?”
Sending a worried glance between the two Kagome cleared her throat before continuing, “As I was saying I didn’t mean for it to go like that yesterday, it was just when I realized you guys were demons I let my curiosity get the better of me. And that’s why I wanted to talk to you all today, now I know my cousin, Hiei, Yusuke and Yukina are all demons. And you Botan, I’m not sure about but I’d like to know. So please don’t freak on me, I promise to explain later if you guys just bear with me.” Looking at all of their startled faces she realized that might have been the last thing they expected to hear from her. Giggling she turned twards Yusuke in expectancy.
“Well….not sure what I have to say to that one. Anyway yes I am a demon, well half demon actually. I’m not really sure what kind yet, but I hope to find out.”
“What do you mean ‘I don’t know what kind yet’ weren’t you born one? Your parents never told you?” Confused Kagome tilted her head to the side, reminding everyone of a puppy.
“Well no not really, I just found out kinda I guess…ya baisically.” Figuring out she wasn’t going to get a full answer from him she sighed and turned her attention towards Yukina.
“So, Ice maiden, what’s your deal? Why are you in the ningenkia?” slightly startled Yukina snapped her head up and saddened but determined ruby eyes met blue.
“I am here to find my brother Miss Kagome, we were separated at birth and when I heard he was rumored to be in the human world I ran away from home to find him when I met Hiei and his friends, and they are all helping me find him. I will not give up hope in finding my brother, he is all I have left and even though I have not met him I feel a deep loving connection to him, like he is watching over me from a distance.” Surprise shone in Kagome’s eyes as a single tear ran down both girls faces. ‘I could have sworn they were brother and sister, but she speaks as if…’ looking between Hiei and Yukina she new there was something up.
“So you haven’t found him yet? And please just call me Kagome, no Miss”
“Ok, Kagome. And to answer your question no, I’ve been searching for almost a year and I still haven’t found him.”
‘Why wouldn’t he tell her! Is he crazy or something. Doesn’t he see how much it pains her not to know that he is so close? Is he scared?’ millions of thoughts ran through Kagome’s mind before she pushed them to the back of her mind, turning her attention to the blue haired girl next to her.
“Ah, yes Botan. I am most curious about you. Please do explain what you are and why there is an overwhelming sence of death that surrounds you.” Smiling she looked into Botans pink eyes as they played a silent game of ‘Who’s going to give in first’ before Botan sighed and gave into her intense gaze.
“Well snap. I guess I’ll tell you everything. I am the ‘Grim Reaper’ of sorts and I ferry dead souls over to the spirit world. I work for Prince Koenma of the demon world.”
“Demon world? Are you telling me there in a separate world now?”
“Yes that’s right deary, there are three worlds; the Human, Demon and Spirit worlds. There are major barriers that separate them and-“
“When did they come to be?” Kagome cut in.
“Oh, hmm….lets see, around 500 years ago I do believe.”
‘So right after I left the Feudal Era I’m guessing…interesting.’
Turning her attention to the apparition next to her she was about to ask her question before the bell cut her off. As everybody gathered there stuff and headed to class she threw a look twards Hiei catching his gaze.
‘I’ll get you next time…and you will tell me everything.’
‘/Hn. The same goes for you onna./’
‘\Isn’t she simply delectable!\’ Youko’s voice cut in.
‘/Hn, watch it fox./’
