Chapter 13: Dark Indulgence

 

After their fights, Inuyasha's entire team, including Sesshomaru surprisingly, paid a visit to Kagome's hotel suite that she shared with her team. Unfortunately for the little miko and Kuwabara, Kouga and Ayame thought it would be great to celebrate their reunion with a few bottles of hard liquor. They brought Potron, Captain Morgan, Everclear, and Vodka. Since Kagome never drank before, she was slightly curious and excited to try the different alcoholic beverages.

 

An hour and a half after everyone began drinking, Inuyasha and his team left so they could get some sleep but left the alcohol with the spirit detectives since Yusuke, Kagome and Kuwabara were still downing drinks. No one was surprised by how quickly the miko seemed to be getting drunk. Once they finished drinking all the coke that they were using as a chaser for their shots, Kurama volunteered to retrieve another bottle. Hiei was preparing to take a shower just as the avatar left the suite and Kagome wasn't too intoxicated yet.

 

She was slurring her words and seemed a little dazed but that was the extent of her odd behavior when he left. While he was gone, the three individuals still drinking shared the last of the Potron without a chaser and that was it for Kagome. She was wasted out of her mind and if Kuwabara and Yusuke weren't just as drunk, they would have found Kagome's behavior shocking. She was getting very flirty and energetic. With his mind completely frazzled and clouded over from all the alcohol they'd ingested, Yusuke was able to do nothing but sit where he was as Kagome moved to sit in his lap instead of next to him. His world was spinning so fast that he barely noticed the drunk miko waiting for him to provide her with the attention she was desired.

 

At this point, Kurama returned to the room with the requested bottle of coke and Kagome sprung off Yusuke's lap and directly over to Kurama. Giggling and stumbling over her own feet, she smiled up at Kurama who was now staring down at her in worry. Perhaps the second bottle of soda wasn't necessary? He felt not only his emotions churn but Youko's as well when the miko finally reached them and placed her hands on his chest.

 

“Kurama! We should go have some fun…” she giggled as she slowly pushed the avatar back against the door he'd recently closed. His eyes widened slightly as the miko pressed her body firmly against his and his mind painfully took note of how amazing it felt to have the beautiful miko so close.

 

“Ka… Kagome maybe you should slow down…” Kurama stuttered, trying to keep a strong hold on his control. Even Youko seemed reluctant to ravish the miko with her in this current state. Kurama could feel that Youko felt the same way as he did and didn't want to take advantage of her while she was drunk.

 

“But why not? You're my potential mate… don't tell me you or Youko changed your mind…” she pouted, tears beginning to form in her breathtaking blue eyes.

 

Kurama shook his head vigorously as he cradled the miko's face in his hands. “You've been mistaken Kagome, we haven't changed our minds and don't plan to, it's just we would rather complete the bonding when you are sober.”

 

“I'm not drunk.” she argued, her words slurring.

 

Kurama chuckled and rolled his eyes. “Yes you are. I think you've had enough drinks for tonight. Why don't you go wash up while I help Yusuke and Kuwabara to their beds?” he asked. She pouted but nodded and before he released her, the avatar brushed his lips across hers softly before making his way over to his passed out companions. In even more of daze than she was in before, Kagome dragged herself to the bathroom and opened the closed door without thinking that someone could possibly be inside. Closing the door behind her, she turned and froze. There, standing in front of the mirror using a towel to dry his hair, was Hiei with a towel only wrapped around his waist.

 

He was staring at her with those amazing ruby colored eyes and Kagome could do nothing but gawk at him. There was still a decent amount of steam in the bathroom from the shower he'd just finished with and his skin was still somewhat wet. She couldn't tear her eyes away from his delicious body that was now exposed for her eyes to drink in and she felt the sudden urge to trail her fingers along the perfectly defined muscles on his chest.

 

“What are you doing in here onna?” Hiei demanded more than asked as he glared at her slightly. He knew she was far more intoxicated than when he'd seen her before his shower and he wasn't sure how she acted when she was shit faced drunk.

 

“You're really hot Hiei, have I ever told you that?” she muttered, still staring at him. The steam in the room was slowly getting to her though, dehydrating her even further and she was beginning to feel light headed. The bathroom began to spin and thankfully Hiei noticed she was going to fall before she even swayed. Dropping the towel he was using to dry his hair, Hiei quickly moved to support the drunken miko. When she yawned and swayed once more, Hiei rolled his eyes and slowly lifted her up into his arms.

 

“What are you doing… everything is spinning…” Kagome groaned as Hiei carried her out of the bathroom and toward her room. He ignored her question and nodded toward Kurama, who had just finished helping Kuwabara and Yusuke to bed as he approached the miko's door. Kurama smiled and disappeared into his own room, knowing that Hiei could handle the miko on his own. After opening the door and slowly placing the dizzy miko down on her bed, he straightened and prepared to leave when he heard Kagome mumble his name.

 

“Hiei… don't go please? Stay here with me… I'll be good, promise.” she said, her words slurring, but not as bad as before. Hiei sighed and left her room. Moving quickly so the miko didn't think he'd just up and left, he pulled on a pair of sweat pants from his room before reentering Kagome's. The saddened expression on her face disappeared when she saw him turn off the light and she moved to one side of the bed and pulled the blanket back. Hiei slowly made his way to her bed and hesitantly stood beside it until she grabbed his wrist and pulled him down. Pulling the blanket over both of them, Kagome turned and snuggled against Hiei's bare chest with a sigh of contentment.

 

After calming his racing heart, Hiei slowly wrapped his arms around the little miko and pulled her flush against him. Even though she was intoxicated, he knew that anything Kagome had said that night was true. Drunken people don't lie, that's why it's embarrassing for them because they say things they keep hidden deep within their minds. When Kagome admitted she thought he was attractive, it took all of his strength not to turn that shower back on and pull her in with him.

 

Now, as he lay in her bed with her, he could feel his desire for her increasing but it wasn't as unbearable as it was before. She was nearly asleep and that brought him relief. Once she fell asleep, he'd be able to follow suit. He just hoped the little miko didn't freak out too much when she woke up sober in the morning. Either that or she'd jump his bones and that didn't sound good either. If she woke him up in such a manner, he was positive that they wouldn't be leaving the room for several hours.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The next morning~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome groaned softly as she woke the following morning. She was relieved to find she didn't have a hangover but she did feel incredibly thirsty. Yawning and opening her eyes, she was briefly surprised to see that Hiei was sleeping beside her with his arm draped over her waist. Then she remembered the events of the night before and blushed slightly. She'd have to thank Kurama later for taking care of her. As for Hiei, she'd have to thank him as well.

 

Gazing at him as he continued to sleep peacefully, Kagome couldn't stop the intense feelings she felt for the hybrid. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that she'd definitely fallen in love with the apparition around the same time as she did Youko in the past. Now, with his arm draped over her protectively as if they were lovers, the little miko smiled slightly. Maybe Hiei did like her, if he didn't she doubted he would have remained in her room for the night upon her request.

 

Sighing to herself softly, she carefully rolled over and was about to get out of bed when she felt Hiei wrap his arm around her once more and pull her back. Blushing slightly as he pulled her back flush against his chest, she tensed when he buried his nose in her hair until he was nuzzling her neck softly. “Hi…Hiei… what are you doing…?” she asked stiffly, not sure how to react to his actions. She'd never seen his so affectionate before.

 

“There is plenty of time before the first fight begins.” He answered, pretty much avoiding her question.

 

“I understand that but…”

 

“Shut up and relax onna.” He interrupted in a soft growl as he tightened his arms around her slightly. Her muscles relaxed and Kagome let out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding. With her body pressed so firmly against his, Kagome couldn't help the thoughts that drifted into her mind. Hiei was acting as if they were mates, and although she wasn't about to complain, she was confused by the sudden change in his attitude toward her. But then again, if she thought about it, Hiei didn't seem like the kind of person that would show affection in front of other people. This was the first time they'd ever truly been alone so the only chance Kagome ever got to witness his actions when it was just the two of them.

 

“Hiei… uhhh…” she murmured, not sure of what to say. Sure he'd told her to shut up but she was never one to really listen.

 

“You just don't know how to follow orders do you onna?” he growled, his breath brushing against the skin of her neck and causing her to shiver slightly.

 

“Well…” Her voice ceased to work at that particular moment because Hiei's fangs were pressing against the skin between her neck and shoulder.

 

`If you do not obey me now, how will that change if you were my potential mate?' Hiei's voice drifted along her mind but she could tell he wasn't asking her a question but pondering it to himself. The next few words that entered her mind, though, were directed to her. `Would you accept if I desired to place a claim?'

 

Kagome stared at the wall on the opposite side of the room blankly. Did Hiei just ask her what she thought he did? Was he truly lying behind her with his fangs waiting to sink into her skin and place his claim? Blinking several times, Kagome smiled softly but remained still. `Yes…'

 

The miko was prepared when Hiei sunk his fangs into her flesh. She winced slightly but the pain was only momentary and replaced with the feeling of liquid trailing down her neck. Her eyes fluttered shut as the koorime removed his fangs and ran his tongue along the fresh wound and down her neck. After cleaning up all the stray drops of blood from her skin, Hiei once again buried his nose in her hair and inhaled deeply. Kagome smiled once more and pulled away, not surprised this time when Hiei made to pull her back.

 

Shaking her head, she laughed softly at the glare Hiei sent her way. Apparently he wasn't very happy that the claim hadn't changed her obedience. Rolling her eyes and leaning down toward him, she placed a kiss on his cheek before departing from the room with a bright smile on her face. Skipping toward the small kitchen area in the suite, she began pouring Lucky Charms into a bowl just as Kurama exited his room. The miko found it difficult to avert her gaze once she realized the avatar was only wearing a pair of sweat pants similar to the ones she remembered Hiei was wearing before joining her in bed last night.

 

Smiling toward Kagome, Kurama planned to join the miko for breakfast until he caught her scent. Staring at her in curiosity for a moment, he inhaled deeply and smirked. Apparently Hiei had finally stepped up and placed a claim on her. Now her scent was mixed with Hiei's.

 

“Is something the matter Kurama?” She asked, seeing the varying expressions on his face.

 

“Oh nothing at all except one thing.” He murmured as he approached the miko. Kagome watched as Youko took complete control of Kurama and their body shifted to that of the legendary bandit as he moved to stand directly in front of her. Smirking down at her, he captured her chin in his hand gently. “No matter who places a claim on you, whether it be Yusuke or Hiei, you are mine first. I call dibs on mating you first.”

 

Kagome could feel her cheeks gaining the same blush that seemed to be haunting her more often as of lately and she was about to speak when the kitsune leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. She stared up at him with wide eyes until he gently pushed her back against the fridge and pinned her there with his body. She moaned softly as her eyes fluttered shut and she returned the kiss. Before it could get anymore exciting, Youko pulled away and grinned down at her.

 

“So you know Hiei staked a claim then?” She asked, trying to regain her breath.

 

“Of course, it changed your scent. I don't mind sharing you with Hiei and the detective but you were aware of my interest far before theirs.” Youko stated.

 

“But you never placed a claim on me.” Kagome pointed out.

 

“That's because you weren't ready all those years ago.”

 

“Then what's kept you from following through since you found me again?” she questioned, smirking up at him.

 

Youko rolled his eyes. “Kurama is my delay. He insists that I give him time to get to know you first. That and only that is the reason I haven't suck my fang into that delicious skin of yours.”

 

Kagome didn't bother holding back her blush since it was probably still there from before. “Well I wouldn't mind if you both placed a claim. I'm rather fond of your red headed counterpart.”

 

“He'll be happy to hear that.” Youko purred as he advanced toward Kagome once more.

 

Knowing the kitsune was up to no good, Kagome quickly tried changing the subject. Sure she wanted Youko to place his claim on her but not in the middle of the kitchen! “Wait, Yusuke?” she asked, confused.

 

“For being such an intelligent human, you can be quite blind when it comes to men.” Youko chuckled.

 

“What's that supposed to mean!?” she pouted, pulling away from the kitsune and returning to her bowl of cereal.

 

“If you haven't noticed the detective's interest in you yet then perhaps you aren't as aware of your surroundings as I thought you were.”

 

“Yusuke doesn't like me like that Youko, stop it.” she said, shoving a spoonful of cereal in her mouth.

 

“That is where you are wrong love. He intends to place a claim on you as well. It would seem that you will be having four mates in the near future if you count Kurama as a separate individual.” Youko winked before handing control back to the red head. Once the transformation was complete, he shrugged his shoulders sheepishly toward the miko.

 

“I apologize Kagome; I was still half asleep and wasn't expecting him to try anything.”

 

She shook her head. “Don't worry about it Kurama, though I wish you'd kiss me like that sometime.” she smirked before taking her bowl and relocating to the couch so she could watch television. Kurama remained where he stood gaping at the miko. She was barely ever that blunt, she must be in a playful mood today.

 

`You remember the bet I won? I want control tomorrow.' Youko stated, gaining Kurama's attention.

 

`Why tomorrow?'

 

`The next round doesn't begin for another two days. I want to spend time with my vixen the day before our next match.' he answered.

 

`Seeing as I don't have much of a choice, alright.' Kurama sighed. He just hoped Youko would behave himself around the beautiful miko.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Several hours later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome's eyes narrowed as she watched Kikyou step onto the ring for her fight. After breakfast and getting everyone up, the team decided it would be a good idea to see the other competition. Upon arriving, they realized they'd made it just in time for the match between Kikyou's team and another. Botan, who'd been ordered by Koenma to locate them and tell them who the demon was they were after, was standing beside Kagome hoping the miko wouldn't attract too much attention with her aura flaring about so angrily.

 

Moving to stand on her other side, Kurama entwined his fingers through Kagome's in an effort to calm her. They didn't need everyone knowing she was so powerful, especially since the miko had been keeping her purification powers a secret so she could use them as an element of surprise when she absolutely needed to. Said miko smiled softly toward him before averting her gaze back toward the ring. Kikyou was fighting first and by the way she was moving, it was obvious that she too was keeping her purification a secret.

 

Their attention was pulled from the fight when Botan gasped out loudly and pointed toward the dead miko's team. “That's him! The one with green hair! That's Takeo!”

 

Everyone stared at the green haired demon with narrowed eyes. They could feel he possessed immense powers and would be quite a challenge. Yusuke and Kuwabara gasped in shock when they noticed the red headed demon standing beside Takeo. It was Rando! The demon Yusuke defeated when he entered Genkai's challenge. How was he there? He was supposed to be in Reikai prison under extreme surveillance. Apparently he'd escaped because he was on Kikyou's team.

 

“What is it Yusuke?” Kagome asked, averting her gaze from the green haired demon that was their mission.

 

“That red head demon next to him is Rando. I fought him a few years back and he's supposed to be in Reikai prison. He's pretty strong and knows a lot of weird spells and chants to beat his opponents.” Yusuke explained.

 

Everyone turned to now look at the red head but while searching for him, Kagome noticed another member of Kikyou's group that caused the miko's heart to sink into her stomach. “No… it can't be…” she pleaded to herself and pulled away from Kurama. Running down the steps that lead to the end of the stands, Kagome felt tears sting her eyes as she realized exactly who the dark haired individual was. She could hear the guys yelling for her and running after her but she didn't care. She intended to jump straight over that short wall and into the arena area. She needed to know what Kikyou had done.

 

Before she could hurtle the short wall, Shippo appeared from a few feet away and grabbed her. Inuyasha, Kouga, and Shippo had been standing at the bottom of the stands watching Kikyou's team as well. Once they heard Kagome's team calling out to her and saw her running full speed toward the bottom, they took action. Shippo held her tightly as she tried to squirm out of his hold. “Let go Shippo!” she demanded, her tears trailing down her cheeks.

 

“You can't go down there Kagome, there's nothing you can do right now.” Inuyasha tried to reason with the miko, hoping to calm her down so she wouldn't cause a scene.

 

“How can you just stand there Inuyasha! THAT'S KOHAKU OUT THERE!”

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

A/N:

 

Uh Oh… So Kikyou has Kohaku on her team? But how? And why? You'll just have to wait and find out R&R please.
