----------------~*Chapter 8*~----------------

Kagome smiled as she walked up the seemingly never ending staircase that led to Master Genkai’s temple. Fond memorize of her as a child played in her mind as she approached the top. Everyone was impressed, she wasn’t even breaking a sweat! Then again she must be used to the strenuous exercise based on her…’previous line of work’. It was Saturday, three days after their talk with Koenma in the demon world and Kagome hadn’t shut up once about her grandmother. She told stories of when she used to play at the temple as a child and how nice her grandmother had been. The description of Genkai she gave had everyone silently doubting any relation between their teacher and her grandmother.
“So Kagome, if you’re related to Genkai that would make Kurama related to the old bat too, right?” Yusuke had been wondering about this for a while.
“Well yes basically. He’s not blood related to her as I am, but he’s still related to her none the less.”
“…wait, how does that work?”
“Well Rama is my cousin on my mothers side, while Genkai is my grandmother on my fathers side.”
“What about that old guy you said lives with you? Is that Genkai’s husband?” The thought of Genkai with a man somehow disturbed the SD’s, so believing she had a grandchild was quite a mouthful to swallow.
“Oh well that’s my mothers father, no relation between him and grandma Genkai. Now stop lollygagging, I want to get their as soon as possible.” Not even bothering to look over her shoulder Kagome took up a sprint up the stairs leaving the others behind to gawk.
Reaching the top of the stairs Kagome stopped and looked around taking in the familiar surroundings. When the others caught up with her they calmly walked to the front door and before she could knock a short old woman with faded pink hair opened up scowling at them. When her eyes landed on Kagome they widened before tearing up slightly. Silently she pulled the slightly taller girl into a tight hug before pulling her back examining her at arms length.
“Kagome…my how you’ve grown! Not just into a beautiful young woman, but your powers! They have exceeded far more then I predicted.”
“Grandma? You knew about my powers…?”
“Yes of course dear. Now come in and tell my why you’re here, and with this group no less.” Turning her eyes onto the astounded group behind her she scowled again, especially when her gaze landed on Yusuke. Great, she brought the idiot…
Walking into the house they were led to a living room of sorts and took a seat patiently waiting for Kagome to answer her questions.
“Well grandma first off I’m here for you to train me, if you would. I’ve come here to train because Koenma sent me so that I can better protect the Shikon Jewel.”
“The Shikon? Why would you need to protect that? It disappeared 500 years ago..”
“Well…not exactly. It disappeared only because I disappeared, well ‘returned’ actually. You see 500 years ago I defeated Naraku and the Shikon filled the space in my soul that was taken from me. So when it merged with me I became the shikon and was then sent back here to my time.”
“500 years ago? Kagome you’re a human you couldn’t possibly…”
“Haha yes well I time traveled through a sacred well that took me back 500 years, but lets save that story for another time, ne? I’ve come here to train, and I would like to start as quickly as possible if you’ll take me.”
“Yes of course, come this way then. The rest of you are not needed today but if you wish to stay then so be it.”
“Heh, whatever old woman. I’m just curious to see how powerful the girly is.” Yusuke popped in with a sneer.
“Baka, more powerful then you’ll ever be if you keep that kind of attitude.” Smaking him on the back of the head Genkai lead Kagome and the others to the ‘Game room’.”
“Umm, Grandma? Video games? Really….”
“Shush. These games are merely to test your spirit energy, now go and play each of them.”
Nodding her head Kagome walked over to the first one that looked like a rock paper scissors and played the game. The boy’s jaws dropped when the blinking lights of her score shone above her: 235. Genkai only nodded and told her to play the next game. Walking over to the punching bag she reeled back and let her fist fly. Again the boys were astonished at her score of 220. Turning to the karaoke machine her soft voice matched every pitch and got an amazing score of 247. The amount of power this one girl possessed was crazy.
“I’m very impressed Kagome. You have by far scored the highest amount of spirit energy out of all my students, maybe even myself.”
“Holy shit really!?!....I mean, wow.” She ducked her head underneath her bangs to hide the blush.
‘/Hn, good work./’
‘Thanks’ turning her head towards Hiei she gave him a bright smile and stuck her tongue out slightly. Blushing slightly he turned his head away in embarrassment.
Genkai cleared her throat to gain Kagome’s attention and when she got it she nodded her head outside in indication to follow her. Stopping in front of a large tree she turned to the group again her attention on Kagome.
“Tell me Kagome, what kind of training have you had? Or have you had any at all…?”
“Oh yes I’ve had a small amount. I learned on my own to channel my energy into a arrow and to detect demon aura’s and such. But Lady Kaede taught me how to make barriers and hide my own aura from others.”
“I see. So the only way for you to attack is using a bow and arrow?”
“Well yes and no. I normally use a bow and arrow but on rare occasions when I am in serious danger or half dead I can channel it through my hands. I don’t know how to control it though.” Sadness swam in her eyes as she gazed far off as is trapped in a memory.
‘If I would have been able to control it then I could have saved them…no one would have had to die. Why must I be so…weak.’
‘/Hn. Your not weak./’
‘What did I say about reading my thoughts?’ sending him a small mental zap she was satisfied when he muttered a “Shit!” and fell out of the tree he was standing in. Everybody turned to him in confusion as he got up brushing the dirt off of his dark clothing. Glaring evilly at everyone especially Kagome he crossed his arms over his chest and snorted before walking off towards the woods.
“What the Fuck is his problem!?” Yusuke muttered before a shoe smacked him in the back of the head making him turn around to look at the tiny pink haired culprit.
“Ow! What the Hell was that for?!”
Smacking him again with her other shoe Genkai simply muttered, “Watch your language, boy.”
“What?! You smack me but you let Kagome slide? That’s not fair old woman!” This earned him another smack that he skillfully dodged this time before running into a giggling Kagome.
“She is my granddaughter, baka.”
Kurama, Kagome and Kuwabara all stood back watching the entertainment. Turning her eyes to the woods Kagome tried to sense if Hiei was still there. Catching his energy not too far away she silently slinked off in his direction.

---------------------------------------

Walking through the woods towards Hiei Kagome couldn’t help but get slightly lost in her memories of the past. The woods reminded her so much of her past adventures that she became so engrossed in her thoughts that she failed to sense the demon presence above her.
“What are you doing onna?”
Startled out of her thoughts by Hiei’ voice Kagome stumbled over a root and fell scraping her knee deeply in the process.
“Shit!” Kagome winced as she turned sitting on her but holding her bleeding knee. Hearing the soft shift in grass next in front of her she looked up only to meet glowing ruby eyes. Not expecting him to be so close she unconsciously scooted back slightly.
“For wielding that much power you sure are clumsy onna-“
“Kagome. Not onna remember? Or do I have to teach you a lesson like last time…” Blushing slightly Hiei looked away before looking down at her still bleeding knee.
“You are hurt.”
“Really? I hadn’t no-“ Her sarcastic reply was cut off as Hiei tentatively reached underneath her leg pulling it up slightly before dipping his head and licking the blood from her wound. Letting out a gasp and embarrassingly a moan Kagome tipped her head back at the feel of his tongue on her skin. Gently lapping at the wound Hiei sealed the cut with his saliva and was about to pull away before the sent of her arousal smacked him in the head.
Lifting his head slightly he took in her flushed cheeks and closed eyes. Running his hands lightly on the back of her thighs he nearly lost control as her arousal nearly doubled. Taking this as a good sign he dipped his head again to sensually run his tongue up her leg stopping at the hem of her shorts. Hearing her mews of pleasure he ran his hands further up her leg stopping when he cupped her ass he lifted her hips slightly off the ground to get better access. Moving in between her slightly parted thighs he used his head to part them further before licking and nipping the inside earning him a gasp as her hands dove to his head as ran through his silky hair.
The feel of her hands in his hair seemed to snap him out of his lusty trance as he froze in his movements causing Kagome to lift her head slightly to look at him in lust and confusion. Panicked eyes gazed back at her as she finally came to her senses and realized what was going on. Blushing madly she slowly sat up as he removed his hands from their position on her lower back under her shirt and sat up himself. They simply stared at each other in shock as a blush rose to both of their cheeks.
“Hiei…?”
“Hn.”
“…nothing.”
They both sat in silence for a while listening to the birds and the sound of the forest. Even after their embarrassing moment they sat in comfortable silence instead of tension.
“What were you thinking about earlier?”
“Wha-what?” Kagome’s cheeks flushed again at the thought of telling him exactly how turned on he made her.
“No not that.” A blush rose to his cheeks as well as he turned away from her and he wondered why exactly he was acting so nice around her, “I mean earlier when you were walking. You were in such a trance you didn’t even notice me when I snuck up behind you. I was just wondering what got you to let your guard down that much.” Turning his gaze back on her he noticed she was still blushing and seemed a little flustered. Pride washed through him as he realized he was the one to make her like that.
“Oh, well I was just thinking of how much this forrest reminds me of my adventures in the past. I remembered the nights I would camp out with my friends and lying under the stars at night.”
Taking in her forlorn look he sypathised with her. She could no longer see everyone she once loved, he remembered her saying how the well sealed. “You miss them don’t you.”
Her eyes teared up slightly as she sent him a sad smile. “Yes very much.”
“Do you think they are happy since Naraku is dead?”
A dark sad look crossed her face as more tears pored from her cerulean eyes. Sobs threatened to rack her body as she hugged herself. Pulling her shaking form to his he wrapped his arms around her small body protectively. At the time he had no idea why he did it but he knew he would understand in the future. Pushing all of his other thoughts from his head he concentrated on the frail creature in his arms. Tucking her head under his chin he rubbed soothing circles in her back as she let her sobs overtake her body. He was amazed at how hard the girl was crying, she was making even him shake.
Eventually her sobs turned into small sniffling and her tears stopped. Nuzzling her head further into his body she tried to relax her aching muscles. Who new crying took so much energy? Lifting her head she met his eyes and was surprised at what she saw, or at what she didn’t see. Instead of the annoyance she was sure he was feeling she saw compassion and understanding. She was even more confused when he lightly placed his lips against her forehead and tightened his arms around her. Kagome sighed in contentment. It just felt so right.
“I’m sorry if what I said upset you, but could you explain?”
Smiling slightly despite the obvious pain she still felt she pulled herself away from him slightly to better look him in the eyes.
“Yes I’m sorry….its just I couldn’t help but feel guilty that my friends would never get to experience the freedom I feel after defeating Naraku. You see they were all killed in battle, and I can’t help but feel responsible. If I could have been a little bit stronger I could have at least saved some of them, but I couldn’t even do that. I lost them all…Sango, Miroku…my kit Shippo…he was like my son…and Inuyasha…”Pain and regret flashed through her eyes as she thought about the hanyou and a bitter laugh left her dry aching throat “I didn’t even get to tell him I loved him.”
A jealous pain shot through Hiei’s heart as he thought about Kagome having a lover. Shaking his head he tried to rid himself of such a repulsive feeling. He had no reason to be jealous, she was merely a human and he was in a sympathetic mood….right?
“But I guess it doesn’t matter now anyways. I know one thing for certain, none of them would have wanted me to be sad, so I’m not going to be. I have a new purpose in life, to live for them. I will laugh, love and find happiness for them.”
Smiling as brightly as she could at Hiei he couldn’t help but feel hopeful at her words. Could she ever possibly love him? And could he love her in return? Feeling had never been his expertise so the amount of emotion he felt at the moment was too much for him to understand. He would have to think about it later.
“Hn. Come on Kagome, lets get back to the others.” When a surprised look was thrown his way he couldn’t help but snap in slight annoyance.
“What?!”
Smiling slightly and shaking her head she answered him. “Nothing, its just that was the first time you’ve used my name. I liked it.” Taking his hand in hers his eyes widened before snapping to hers and a blush rose to his cheeks.
“Hn. Whatever.” Composing himself he pulled her up right and never letting go of her hand led her back through the woods towards Genkai’s temple with the blush still firmly planted on his face.
