Chapter 4: Happy Valentine's Day

"Happy Valentine's Day." Genkai told her daughter as she came down the stairs.

Kagome raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side as if she didn’t understand what Genkai was saying and she was talking in a completely different language...It wasn’t as if Kagome didn’t know what day it was. She just didn’t understand the concept of Valentine’s day having never had someone besides her mother to share it with...well and Kuronue and Sesshoumaru. She never had someone to call her own.

“Why have such a useless holiday ‘kaasan?” Kagome asked with a raised eyebrow, looking like she didn’t have a care in the world even though inside she was still hurting from what happened in previous years.

“Because Kagome, it’s a day in which you celebrate your love and those that you love.” Genkai told her now silent daughter

“Im sorry mother...I know how much this day meant to you.” Kagome said softly almost hesitantly. “It’s just...” Kagome was cut off before she could finish.

“It’s alright, my dear, get ready for school.” Genkai said and left the living room in three graceful strides.

The date was February 14, Kagome was well aware. It was the anniversary of when Genkai and Ryu met, married and the very day that Ryu died. Kagome had also been born this day.

‘Birthday’s should be illegal.’ Kagome thought. ‘Especially birthdays also celebrating someone that you love’s death.’ The now 18 year old sighed. Her senior year in high school was coming to an end. She knew that by now Yusuke was already 18 at least, probably going on 19 soon, but it was a mystery as to how he’s stayed alive so long.

Kagome froze after she thought that for a second.

“Why the hell am I thinking about that ass?” Kagome asked herself before shaking her head and getting ready for school.

Kagome dressed in baggy red pants, a white Chinese styled shirt with a red vest over that with golden dragons embroidered onto it. She quickly and efficiently put her long pink hair up into a twisted bun holding it together with two hair sticks. Kagome decided that today was a fine day to take her car. She was wealthy on her own but stayed at her mother’s place because she loved her and Genkai wouldn’t move to Kagome’s mansion no matter how much persistence she used or begging. Genkai would not budge, she was so stubborn, but then again, so was Kagome.

Kagome sighed as she thought about her past and what happened. “It’s not fair...” Kagome whispered to the wind. “But then again...when is life ever fair...” She said as she drove in her 2004 Jaguar XK8 convertible. Her car was silver with black dragons down the side that she took the time to work on personally.

She drove past a bunch of her school classmates and underclassman. They all knew that Kagome was filthy rich and showed it with her car and clothes. They knew that Kagome had looks, money and the brains maybe that’s why they stayed away. It could be a dangerous combination, those things...

Kagome pulled into her private, personal, rented parking space right in front of the school. But, apparently, the fates weren’t with her today, the spirit detectives were right in front of her stall. Kagome put the hood to her car up and got out. She could still feel and see their stares, they obviously didn’t recognize her. Her windows were tinted and they were probably temporarily blinded because of the light that reflected off her car from that close distance.

The spirit detectives stared as someone stepped out of the car and raised a perfectly shaped brow at them. They stood there gapping like fish at Kagome who was staring at the calmly. It was quite a comical sight if you think about it. Kagome’s cell suddenly went off snapping them out of there stupor. She needed to have technological things because she was a very important person to certain companies and other important personnel.

“Hello?” Kagome said.

“Kagome...” A deep baritone distinctly male voice rang out from the other side.

“Kuronue...” Kagome’s smooth voice replied, it was carefully controlled.

“Meet me after you are done with school, 4:00, Your place.” He said.

“My mom’s or mine?” Kagome asked.

“Yours.” Was all the deep voice answered before the line went dead.

Kagome said nothing more as she turned the alarm for her car on and walked away from the parking lot towards the school. The group that was lingering in front of her car finally got there wit back. Yusuke was the first one to say anything.

“Genkai’s Rich?”

“No...It’s obviously that wench that owns and bought this car.” Hiei said gesturing to the car as Youko, inside of Kurama’s head bit back a snarl and settled for glaring at the Koorime, for daring to insult his future mate not that Hiei could see the glare condsidering Youko was inside of Kurama.

“How do you know?” Kuwabara asked.

“Look at her...She’s obviously an important person, her demeanor in itself is saying mess with me and you die a very pain filled death.” Kurama filled in for the Koorime.

‘Indeed, my mate is a powerful person.’ Youko said with pride in Kurama’s mind as Kurama sighed softly to himself, to tired to berate Youko.

“Hn.” Hiei said agreeing to Kurama’s statement.

~!~After School~!~

‘Pathetic idiots, Stupid school, stupid people, all lovey dovey. It is truly sickening. I most certainly don’t understand this holiday...It’s bad enough to be born on this day but to have lost my father...well technically step-father...I almost lost control of my powers just then. Can’t let myself lose control not again.’ Kagome’s thoughts were in a jumble but one thought rang above the others. ‘I really wish the person who came up with Valentine’s day was alive, So I could kill them, slowly.’

Kagome hopped into her car and took off towards her mansion, unaware to the fact that the spirit detectives were planning on following her. If she’d been paying attention she would have noticed the mid-sized black car following her.

Kagome sped off towards a secluded area near Genkai’s place and through the forests, and stopped at a huge gate. The home was really a castle in itself, the kind that many could only dream of seeing in movies and even those castle’s in movies couldn’t do Kagome’s home justice.

She parked her car in front of the house and got out walking towards Kuronue who stood on her front porch in all of his demon glory. The handsome dark haired, violet eyed bat youkai opened his arms for Kagome. Kagome launched herself into his arms hugging him as he swung her around in a circle, lifting her smaller form off the ground smiling. Genkai came out of the house steaming mad and kagome winced knowing what was going to happen next.

“Kagome Shitori, What were you thinking?!?!?! Almost revealing your heritage and markings in public! Your father could have found you, Taguro is not a good man!” Genkai yelled at her daughter. Kuronue and Kagome winced along with Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke. Genkai could be extremely loud when she wanted to be.

“I’m sorry ‘kaasan.” Kagome said her head bowed in shame.

“Don’t let it happen again.” Genkai stated firmly leaving no room for arguement, not that Kagome would argue with her mother when she was like this.

“Yes Ma’am.” Kagome said saluting like one would to there commanding officer. Kuronue smirked as Kagome barely kept her giggle in.

Genkai glanced at the gates and saw the Reikai Tantei standing there slack jawed. It was quite a comical scene really. She gestured for them to come up towards the house. When they arrived, they were not prepared for the sight they came upon, Kagome and Kuronue absorbed in conversation, showing emotions, touching each other gently, like one would a lover. They were both laughing gaily over something until the Reikai Tantei stepped into the room, they had their masks on faster then anyone could blink.

“What are you doing in my house?” Kagome asked icily.

“Your mother invited us in.” Yusuke snapped.

Kagome glared fiercely at Yusuke before dismissing him and turning to her motheer. “Is this true?” Kagome asked softly.

“Yes.”

“You can invite them into your home, not mine and certainly not today.” Kagome’s voice was but a whisper.

“I’m sorry Kagome...I know how much you hate strangers in your home, especially on days like today.” Genkai told Kagome gently knowing how sensitive she was.

Kagome flinched, Kuronue held her hand and gently rubbed her knuckles with the pad of his thumb. Kuronue pulled her closer to him wrapping an arm around her small waist murmurring softly to her calming her instantly.

“Why did you invite them here for?” Kagome inquired.

“To talk Kagome, you and Yusuke used to be friends, What happened?” Genkai asked.

“Friends don’t abandon each other, friends don’t leave and not come back, Kuronue, Sess, Touya and Jin are my only real friends.” Kagome said with an air of slight hurt.

“I’m going on another...assignment tonight mother.” Kagome said before rising from her spot next to Kuronue.

“Wait, will Kuronue go with you and who exactly is the target this time?” Genkai asked Kagome.

“Yes...He will accompany me as usual. The target is a government official. Happy Valentine’s Day mother...Let not another tragedy befall you.” Kagome said to her mother before leaving the room with Kuronue at her heels.

“Kagome, I wasn’t the only one who lost someone...You’ve had such a hard past, will you ever find love and happiness...Happy Birthday....My dear Musume...” Genkai whispered forgetting for the moment that the others were still there...

Kurama wondered silently to himself who it was that Kagome and Genkai could have lost. He and the others definitely felt sympathy for the hanyou there is no doubt that she had a very hard and rough life.

“Im sorry, Im so sorry Kagome, you didn’t deserve the horrible things that you’ve been through.” Genkai whispered to the silent room as a tear fell from her eye, “You don’t always have to be strong...It’s okay to be weak...”

“No Mother...It’s not, It’s not okay, Not for me...”Kagome’s voice floated into the room from another source.

“I will never have a happy birthday...nor...Valentines as you call it.” Kagome said as she appeared in the room.

“Why?” Kuwabara asked.

Kagome whipped around to face him and glared, for a moment she had forgotten they were there. She mentally chided herself for not being aware of her surroundings. Kuronue dashed into the room and visibly restrained her from killing him out of pure instinct. She calmed almost immediately with his scent. Kuronue tensed suddenly making Kagome tense as well wondering what was bothering him.

“What’s wrong Kuronue?” Kagome asked her silent friend.

“Youko?” He asked quietly.

Youko demanded that he be let out to speak to his old friend and partner. Shuichi/Kurama succumbed to his wishes and allowed Youko to take over their body. A white mist formed around the body of Kurama and standing in the once human’s place was a silver kitsune at least 7 feet tall with long sliver hair and golden eyes. He had adorable fox ears perched on his head and a beautiful silver tail. Kagome glared at the kitsune that caused her friend to tense.

“Yes Kuronue?” Youko asked the now silent bat.

Kuronue simply stayed silent and turned Kagome to face him, nodded to Yoko and whispered something into her ear. She nodded and he gave her a small kiss on the head and left to get ready for the assignment.

“Happy Valentine’s indeed.” Genkai said as she saw the effect the kiss from Kuronue had on her daughter. Kagome was shocked and it showed on her face.

A/n: Well...Voila, there you go another chapter. Hope you liked it.
