Once again Kagome found herself bored, sitting in class, alone. Well, technically she wasn't alone, as there was the entire classroom full of teens around her. But no friends. And Kagome doesn't function really well without friends. Her brain dies. Really it does! So the entire classroom full of roaring teens and one monotone teacher doesn't really help. And considering she's now been exactly 3 weeks without any friends in her classes, her brain was basically decayed goo. That's right ladies and gentleman; it's been THREE WEEKS since her Kazu-kun and friends left! THREE!!! Not that she was clingy or anything, but come ON. One week is fine, two weeks is pushing it, but THREE?!?!? That's just insane. And not in the good way either. And the teacher wasn't making it any better. He was just droning on…and on…and on. It was enough to make a girl cry!

 

 

 

“The discovery of fire allowed for many advances in the Ice-Age period, not just for environmental changes, but it also lead to physical changes. Fire kept people safe from attacking animals, and helped them to be the attackers. Animals feared fire, so they steered clear of it and didn't bother the humans, which obviously protected them from being attacked in the middle of the night. Since the animals were afraid of the fire, men could gather together with torches and chase down frightened animals, then trap and kill them. This was a great form of—” Blah blah BLAH! If he said one more thing about how fire aided in the forging of human societies, she was going to go ape shit on someone!!! And then, whether it was her the gods were smiling down on or one of the other poor defenseless souls that were stuck in this lackluster class from hell, the bell rang. And what a glorious sound it made!

 

 

 

“Fucking FINALLY!!!” gasps echoed from her surrounding classmates at her loud proclamation but she found herself caring less and less by the millisecond. She leapt out of her connected chair and desk, using the empty desk of her abandoning friend behind her as leverage, mindful of the outrageously short skirt and bolted out of the classroom. Her long, sculpted legs led her, her mind too far past the point of clarity to notice that she was making her way through the cloud of people to the outside, away from the next class she was supposed to be at. Cool midday air hit her and it was then she paused to breathe, and blink, and smile. “I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee!!!” twirling like the little girl she was in her mind's eye, she giggled, jogging away from the pure unadulterated hell that is her high school. Now only one question:

 

 

 

Where to go when skipping school?

 

 

 

There was always eating…but she didn't feel hungry. Arcade? No, that's where all the delinquents hung out. She was a good little girl! Movie? Nah, only chick flicks are playing. That left…the…park? Out of all the wonders and electronic goodness that modern man has invented, she was going back to nature to find some form of entertainment.

 

 

 

Kinda sad no?

 

 

 

Yes kinda sad.

 

 

 

But she didn't really care. She loved nature. And why shouldn't she? Everything now a days was concrete, plastic, and metal. Not exactly warm and inviting. The entrance to the park came up and she smiled, slipping off her shoes and socks at the gate. Like she cared if some one took them; if she got kicked out of school for no longer being able to follow the dress code since some one stole her hideous black loafers well…tough shit. The wind blew gently around her and she sighed happily. It was always so peaceful… being surrounded by nature. It made her feel…more at home. Like back when she was with them.

 

 

 

When they were still…accessible.

 

 

 

A large thud and swearing cut off all train of thought, shocking her out of the trip down memory lane she was about to take. Four voices cut through the silent park like a knife, shocking her. Three of those voices were voices she knew.

 

 

 

“Damnit oaf, get the hell OFF!” Another thud and grunt echoed in the park and she found herself walking towards the voices. A familiar sigh caught her attention, almost making her smile in realization.

 

 

 

“Really you two, we just got done. Cant you wait until we're cleaned up before you fight?” twin grumbles were the answer and a distinctive `hn' was heard in agreement. Giggling at the four, she peeped through the trees and froze. The boys she had been waiting 3 weeks for to return looked like they had just been through hell and back. Cuts and bruises littered their bodies from what she could see; which was a lot considering the upper half of their clothing was all but burnt away, allowing their wounds to be easily seen. But that wasn't what shocked her. It was the fourth member of the group that she had yet to meet. He was shorter than the rest of them yet taller than her by a few inches. His hair had to defy gravity on its own because she was damn near positive that no amount of hair gel could hold it up; but even that was drooping a little because of the layers of blood and muck matted into it. But even that didn't bother her as much. No, it was the fact that his eyes gleamed red naturally, and that he held a sword covered in blood. It was then she knew what was going on, a disturbed look crossing her face. How long had Kazuma known about them? Stepping into the clearing, she emitted a loud innocent-like giggle, catching their attention immediately.

 

 

 

“Gosh Kazu-kun, still getting the shit kicked out of you? I though I taught you better.” Four pairs of shocked eyes landed on her being. Before she could blink, a hand wrapped around her throat and the rough bark of the tree she had been hiding behind not a moment before dug hard into her back. Her eyes narrowed, looking down at her captor; it was Kazuma's friend, why was she not surprised? Gasps of surprise came from the other three, each yelling at the short one not to hurt her. She snorted. Just because at the moment he was slowly suffocating her doesn't mean he could actually harm her. He growled low, red eyes flashing in warning making a shiver travel through her body. So dangerous...

 

 

 

“Who the hell is this onna? And why was she spying on us?” Kagome bristled under the accusing glare of the dark haired male; as if she hadn't received enough of these in her life. She huffed, glad that he had loosened his hold enough that her airway could work properly. Even if it was only to find out why she was there.

 

 

 

“Okay, no. First off, my name is Kagome. Say it with me Ka-Go-Me. Its only 3 syllables, but if you really have that much trouble with it, I'll write it down.” Even given the tense situation, Yusuke still chuckled. The short one however, was not amused. “Secondly, I was not spying. If you think me walking out of the cover foliage and happily announcing my presence is spying, you my little firefly are sorely mistaken.” The red eyes boring into her blue grew wide at the nickname, before narrowing into slits. “Thirdly, don't speak about me as if I'm not here. I've taken too much of this shit already and if you do it again, I'll beat your hott little ass out of existence!” The hand holding her throat tensed and she only had a few seconds to blink before the male holding her was thrown off violently, the free hand that wasn't holding her now grasping his sword tightly. That little bastard had pulled his sword on her! No, it didn't occur to her that she just insulted a guy...with a really sharp pointy weapon...that now hated her guts. Or the fact that she called him hott to his face. Oh no, these little things didn't matter much to her at the moment. Kuwabara however, noticed every single little detail. Including the fact that his sweet innocent little cousin just cussed- something he'd NEVER think her to do. Oh how very wrong he was. She looked at Kurama and Yusuke, acting as a wall between her and the new guy. Puh-lease! As if they could stop him. Or her. Losers. The black haired male growled again sending another shiver through her body. So very dangerous...

 

 

 

“Move fox.” Her eyes flashed in recognition as her Kazu-kun came to her side to check on her. Good, he was out of harms way. “Let me kill that baka onna. No ningen talks that way to me and lives.” There were no gasps of shock at his statement. Only the rising fear and unease coming from her three friends. She held back her laughter. They didn't know.

 

 

 

“Funny, you call me the baka and yet you still have not been able to remember my name. It's comical really.” Letting out a mock sigh, she almost giggled with glee at the looks on their faces. Oh yes, she heard every word. And just ...skipped over a few parts. Parts that a normal someone would probably question. Then again...she wasn't normal. As sad of a fact as it was, she was not. The short man snorted at her, eyes blazing in anger. Ever heard the saying, if you're playing with fire, you're going to get burned?

 

 

 

Well, consider Kagome a pyromaniac.

 

 

 

And she loved every moment of it.

 

 

 

“Hiei stop this. She is a friend, not to mention Kuwabara's family. She means us no harm.” For a moment, it wasn't Kurama she was seeing reasoning with this Hiei, but a man in all purple defending someone else and trying to explain to someone in red that they were not the enemy. And she, seeing she was in the protective embrace of someone who cared about her, performed her role in the memory. So, she stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry.

 

 

 

“Yeah firefly, I'm innocent!” While those weren't the exact words that played in her memory, the child-like vigor was all the same. And it was fucking HILARIOUS to see the looks on their faces as she called him the ridiculous nickname a second time. What, she thought it fit him!

 

 

 

“Ka-Kagome?!” Wow Yusuke, are you sure you're a guy? Not even she could reach that high of an octave! Grinning innocently -yet mischievously- she turned towards the current girl woman sounding man.

 

 

 

“Hai `Suke?” The one now labeled Hiei only raised an eyebrow at her loving nickname for the tenchi. He coughed awkwardly under the inquiring glance of his teammate and friend, trying to rid himself of the blush that rose on his cheeks.

 

 

 

“Shouldn't you be in school?” She blinked at him before smirking.

 

 

 

“As well, shouldn't you?” And the blush was back with vengeance! She lifted an eyebrow expectantly looking to both her Kazu-kun and Kurama. “As well shouldn't all of you?” The other two looked away, somewhat embarrassed; while Kuwabara settled for blabbering- trying to come up with a `normal' excuse probably.

 

 

 

“Well you see...the thing is...what happened was...” blah, blah, blah, more useless blabble. Seriously, Kazu-kun could rival the history teacher in uselessness of blabble award. She gave him a hard look and he effectively shut up. Yay hard looks! She should try that on the teacher sometime... She sighed loudly. And like, really loudly. Enough to make the male on the other side of the clearing flinch.

 

 

 

“Whatever it is Kazu-kun, I'm sure it can wait until after we get you home and bandaged up.” The three that knew her let out gentle sighs of relief, happy that they were allowed extra time to come up with a viable excuse to their looks and recent whereabouts. “And THEN you can tell me how long you've known about youkai.”

 

 

 

The four choked, instantly on alert and Kagome couldn't help but smirk.
