I didn't know any better! But, I have the author of the first HieiKag story I've ever read to thank for getting me back on the right path. Oh and before I forget to warn you :puts up a barrier around herself: There will be deaths in this chapter. From the chapter title, you'll have 2 guesses as to one of them.. :curls up in tiny ball in middle of barrier: Yall will probably yell at me about this in a review or email..but this makes thing less complicated for me.

 

:chapter 8, Death of Friends:
:still in Kag's POV:

 

  I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock...being smashed. I jumped up expecting an attack. I looked at my clock. Then at the person who smashed it. He. Broke. My. Last. Clock."I give you my ice cream and you smash my clock!!!" I nearly yelled, I remembered there were still people sleeping in the house. Hiei just glared at the broken pieces. I huffed and scooped up the remains and threw them in the trash. I looked at the angry demon and was tempted to give him more ice cream. If it would make him go back to sleep."Can you get out please? I have sch.." I started. I didn't want to go to school today. I had to get back to the Feudal Era. Otherwise Inuyasha would come busting up into the school and yelling at the teachers,'Wheres my jewel detector!?' I giggled at the thought, but stopped at the glare I was getting."Fine. Stay here all you want. I have to go somewhere." I got clothes out of my dresser and headed into the bathroom.

  I took a quick shower and changed into a a pair of pants and a red long-sleeve shirt with a navy sweater over it. I knew I looked odd because it was the beginning of summer. I came out my room and saw Hiei had left. I had a feeling he was still somewhere around the shrine, but I didn't really care. I threw on a pair of shoes and ran downstairs. My 'mom' wasn't even up yet. I packed my yellow bag with packs of ramen and other supplies and wrote a note telling everybody where I went. And that there was a demon somewhere around the shrine and to keep grandpa and ice cream away from him.

  The sun was barely up when I headed to the well house. I could hear the birds above me just waking up. I'm sure they woke up better than I did. I jumped down the well and was greeted with swirly blue colors, and then I was in a well full of snow. I noticed it wasn't cold like it used to be and I climbed out.

:Back at the Shrine:

 

  Hiei sat in the God tree watching Kagome leave the house wearing winter clothes. His eyes narrowed as he watched her ener the well house. He sat there for a few minutes. She didn't come out.

  He jumped down and was at the well house door. he opened it up and didn't see anyone. He entered and looked down the well. Still no one. 'What?' He thought. He stared into the darkness for a few more moments, wondering what was going on. 'Is this some kind of joke?' Hiei thought angrily.

 

 He could sense the ancient magic around the well, but only faintly. He thought about waiting. He thought about jumping in the well to see what was going on for himself. The second choice would probably get him somewhere. Hiei was at the bottom of the well in less then a second (i feel that I'm underestimating his speed..). Or what he thought would be the bottom of the well. Swirly blue and black wasn't what was usually at the bottom of a well, was it? (idk haven't been well jumpin' lately) Hiei felt a powerful force develop him and all of sudden, it was cold.

 

:With Kag's and in Kag's POV:

 

  I had to stifle a scream.  I could feel the hot stinging of unshed tears on my eyes. I could feel the first one fall and freeze at my chin. Who did this? The village looked like three or four hurricanes hit it one after another (i know, from past experience, what this looks like.). Hus were on fire, dead villagees lay scattered about. A crashing next to me caused me ot fall backwards. A tree had caught fire and fall onto the hut next to me. I immediately thought of Sango and the others. Where was Inuyasha when all of this happened? I thought frantically.

 

  I struggled throug the knee deep snow to the last hut in the village. 'Damnit! Stupid snow needs to move!' I thought angrily. I was surprised to see the snow make a path for me. I guess I could do this with my ice side. If I wasn't panicking I'm sure I would've been celebrating my newly found power. I ran through the path to my destination, having to occasionally dodge bursts of flames from the huts I passed, or jump over bodies. I gasped at when I saw Keade's hut.

 

  It looked like it had been untouched. I let out a cry of happiness and ran inside. The occupants gasped in a surprised manner. I knew something was wrong. Sango was there. Miroku was there. A few women from the village was there, but.. Inuyasha, Kaede, and Shopp were missing. "What's wrong?" I asked, my voice shaking. I could hear a couple of the girls choke back a sob and I could feel the stinging sensation coming back to my eyes. "Kagome...." Sango started, he voice started to crack, as if she were about to cry herself. Thats when I noticed her and Miroku had several bandages wrapped around their stomachs and arms. "Naraku came and..." Miroku looked down. "And what?" I demanded. I could feel a warm wetness pouring down my face. "Kikyo was there and Inuyasha dropped Tetsusaiga because Naraku turned on her and he was running to save her and he turned into his youkai form after Naraku attacked him.." Sango began again. "We tried to help him. And Shippo." Miroku said the last part so softly, that if it weren't for my now perfect hearing I would've missed it. I dropped to my knees.

 

  "Many of the villagers lost their lives trying to help us as well, Kaede..she she..I told her she didn't need to! But she did!" Sango shouted the last part, now starting to cry. I was shocked. I don't think I've ever seen her like this. not even with Kohaku. "What did she do?" I asked quietly. "She used the last of her energy to protect us. She put a barrier around the hut not even Naraku or Inuyasha could penetrate." Miroku explained. "And what about Shippo?!" I shouted, my body jerking with every sob that came after that sentence. It was a rhetorical question, I know. Shippo was dead, but that was something I didn't want to believe right now. "He tired to attack Naraku himself. Brave little kid he was. It was terrible. Naraku shot one of his root like appendages through him and..and" Sango let out a sob. "We were waiting for you. The bodies are out there under the snow. We didn't think you'd be here htis early. We were hoping the snow would keep the bodies fresh until you came so we could have a proper burial." I nodded. "I wasn't going to come back for another day or two. But something came up. I'm a demon now.." I laughed weakly, "Fire and ice. I was going to adopt Shippo, now that I'm a demon." I clenched my fists tightly, I didn't pay attention to the blood dripping from the punctures my slightly sharper nails made. My head hung low and I glared at the hut floor. My body still racking uncontrollably with each breath and sob. I didn't notice my tears crystalizing before they hit the floor.

 

:With Hiei (finally!):

 

  Hiei looked around. It was winter here. No wonder the girl had winter clothes on. He looked around and smelt death all over the place. the faint smell of miasma was lingering in the air as well. He headed towards the small of blood and ash and was shocked and appalled at what he saw. Bodies everywhere, burning huts, trees on fire, a piles of snow making a path to a hut in the back...

 

  He winced at the smell of the place and headed down the path. He could smell the girl all over the place, once you got past death and ash. He arrived at the hut. It was untouched. Not a charred twig or piece of straw on it. He was about to go in when he heard people talking. The scent of salt filled the air.

 

  He could hear Kagome say she was a demon, fire and ice. He made a mental note to ask about that later. Hiei opened the wara(straw) made flap of a door and ignored the gasps and a small shriek from a young girl.Kagome looked up at him, tears were still streaming down her face and clinking as they turned into jewels. Sango and Miroku jumped up, though rather awkwardly, and Sango grabbed for Haraiktsu(sp?). "H..Hiei?" Hiei looked back at Kagome, who stutttered out his name. "Where are we?" Kagome wiped away her tears and sniffled a bit. She might as well tell him."We're in the Sengoku Jidai." He just looked at her. He couldn't tell if she was lieing, but he doubted she would lie to him. "how did you get here?" She asked.

 

:Switch to Kag's POV:

 

  "How did you get here?" I asked him, still not believing what was going on. "Hn. I watched you jump down the well." I let out a weak grin. "Thats the most you've said to me in one sentence." He glared at me. Sango and Miroku both gave eachother one of those 'Has-she-gone-crazy?' looks. "Do you know this demon?" Sango asked, her voice still slightly shaky from earlier. "Hai. His name is Hiei." I sighed miserably. I went into the long explanation of what was going on in my time. I stood up. "Well. It's about time we bury the bodies." I said, my voice was clearer than I thought it would be. Hiei was standing by the doorway, since he already knew all of this. "Will you help?" I asked him. "Hn." God. He had to use that insufferable word. When will he learn not everybody learns Hiei-nese (I picked this up from somewhere) in a matter of a week. I ran my hand through my damp blue hair and closed my eyes.

 

  I walked past Hiei and to the side of the hut were I had a feeling the bodies were. I wasn't wrong. I bent down to scoop up the tiny body of the little Kitsune I loved like a son. I hugged him tightly and started crying again. What did I do to deserve any of this? Honestly people.

  I watched Sango and Miroku slowly pick up the other body and follow me as I walked through the village to the God Tree, where we all, villagers and waht few friends were left, set to the task of burying the bodies.

  I sat there hours after we finished. The cold was finally starting to nip at my finger tips. I ignored it and stayed there, huddled up. I could feel a piece of my heart missing. It was terrible. It was all the more reason I needed to kill, no destroy Naraku. Kikyo was next on my list.

 

Sorry pppl! I didn't want to kill them off, but I just couldn't really... fit them into the story that well. Plz R&R. Once again, sorry!
