Ch8: a not so tranquil start..

 

 

LAST TIME~

 

Hiei's feet stopped in mid step as the door flew open…

 

“Okaa-san!!!” Shippo yelled… as Kagome jumped up in her bed…

 

“what's going on?” she asked blurrily as she looked from Shippo to Hiei… the small kitsune glaring at the fire/ice demon puffing his chest up…

 

 

“ Mommy… why does this man smell like you?”

 

 

Kagome glanced over at Hiei.. “ your that demon from the school” she whispered as her breath caught in her throat.. he was… for a lack of a better term.. beautiful…

 

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

 

 

 

Kagome sat there in her bed… her words echoing around the room…

 

 

Shippo stared up at her, “ Okaa-san why does he smell like you?” he asked again as he jumped up into her bed. Circling her he sniffed her again … this time more deeply “ you two don't smell mated.”

Hiei doubled over in a fit of coughing as he tried hard to act casual about what the kit had just said.. he glanced back up to see what she would do..

 

Kagome blushed lightly at the kits outright bluntness of his affirmation of her not smelling like Hiei in a sexual way…

 

“Um.. Shippo.. where is my mom?? Is she here with you or did she leave to go back and take Souta with her like she had called and said earlier ?” she asked softly as she smiled at him … thought she wasn't doing a good job of hiding her embarrassment as a light blush creped up her face..

 

It was clear what she was trying to do… she obviously had NO idea what was going on.. so she was trying to get him to go away until she figured it out… he'd play along for now… “ Yes she did Okaa-san.. she said she was sorry she couldn't come in and say “hi” but she was very busy… im feeling kinda tired though.. so I think ill go to sleep in Uncle Souta's room Mama” Shippo smiled sweetly at her as he hopped off of her bed..

 

As he reached the still open door he turned and puffed up his chest , looking straight into Hiei's claret eyes.. “ and you fire-fly .. keep your claws to yourself” he paused for a brief second.. raising one of his small paws to his nose he touched the tip of it gently “ because… ill know if you don't.. be watching you” and with that said he pointed two fingers to his eyes.. then towards Hiei.

 

They were silent as he closed the door..

 

Shippo smiled to himself as he walked down the hall and into Souta's room… - ill let Okaa-san think im a naïve little kit as long as she wants to- he swished his puffy little tail as he climbed into bed..

 

 

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

 

Kagome gulped slowly as she watched Shippo leave.. while it was true she had wanted him to leave so she could figure out this mess on her own.. she didn't know what to say to his sudden threat towards the other demon…

 

 

Hiei smirked lightly.. he was highly amused even if it didn't really look like it.. he could admire the kit… the kit was full demon so it was easy to see that the Miko had adopted the kit… the kit had guts he had to admit.. he didn't think that even he as a child would have stood up to a demon as morbid and dangerous feeling as himself.

 

 

“Im sorry.. why its true I have no clue why you are here… he didn't mean to be rude..” she twisted her hands in her blanket… she was nervous.. now that they were alone she didn't know how to act… she wasn't scared per say of him.. just of what was going on… if he wanted the jewel or to hurt her he could have easily taken it and killed her in her sleep..

 

Hiei glanced at her.. his crimson gaze bearing into her blue eyes.. “Hn.. he was only sticking up for his mother.. adopted of not.. I can admire his protection of you” he looked away .. turning his gaze to look out the window..

 

Kagome blinked at him.. his voice having shocked her at first.. she really hadn't been expecting him to answer.. his voice was huskier and more velvety then she had thought it would be.. it was down right sexy!

 

She blinked.. had she thought that?. - o my Kami!! I've become a HENTAI just like Miroku!!-

 

Hiei glanced back over at her when he felt her unease..

 

I do scare her- he growled lowly at himself.. cursing the gods for their sick sense of humor..

 

 

Kagome jumped slightly as his growl broke the silence.. “ um… like I asked earlier.. you were from the school earlier right?”

 

Hiei looked up at her his face emotionless.. but inside he was raging at himself…

 

“I was” he simply stated

 

Kagome stared at him.. “ why did you leave so fast?” she asked not think about it at all as the words tumbled out…

 

Hiei considered her question for a moment before answering her “ I had something that required my attention else where… so tell me why you suddenly left.. coming home to hurt yourself?” he countered as he shifted his gaze to her bandaged hand..

 

Kagome lifted her hand to her chest… it pulsed .. as if it had a heartbeat of its own..

 

“Because.. I had thought my life was.. over really… that I was safe here… I didn't know demons existed here.. while a few of the guys at school felt a little off… you were the first demon ive ever really met in this time that didn't come with me”

 

She looked up at him.. her eyes full of emotion and pain..

 

 

Hiei's heart skipped a beat… but he covered it.. not wanting to show that her pain was affecting him.. - stupid ningen feelings!!-

 

He raised an eyebrow at her.. “ explain this Onna”

 

 

Kagome's aura changed as she stood up.. the blanket falling to the floor with her quick movement's .. showing off the cute pink ( and rather revealing) Pajama's Boton had slipped her into earlier.. “ My name is Kagome… not Onna, wench, bitch or anything else you or any other demon can think of!” she fumed.. she had had enough of Inuyasha's insults to last a lifetime… she didn't need to take it from a demon she didn't even know.. even if he was rather good looking..

 

Hiei lowered his raised eyebrow at this… he hadn't been expecting her to react that way… and frankly it kinda freaked him out to see this small woman so angry..

 

“Hn. Fine then Kagome.. explain”

 

Kagome settled down instantly.. she hadn't thought he would cave so early and use her name.. it had taken Inuyasha forever to call her by her name and he still liked to call her weird names… right up till the very end..

 

She sighed.. “ it's a long story… and im really tired.. but im guessing your not going to tell me why you're here.. or why you seem to smell a lot like me… until I tell you.. right?”

 

He smirked at her.. “ right”

 

Kagome sighed again.. this time louder.. she sat down and smiled “ are you just going to stand there.. it's a long.. long story”

 

Hiei just stared at her like she was crazy…

 

“fine stand.. what is it with demons and weird habits of sitting and trees…” she trailed off as she started to mumble about stupid uncomfortable habits and weird demons that acted like they had brooms shoved in places that brooms only went while you were in jail..

 

Hiei smirked as he leaned back against her desk again.. “ I happen to like to stand” he said in a very melancholy sort of voice..

 

 

Kagome shrugged.. “ suit yourself” she pulled her knees to her chest as started to tell her story from the very beginning.. about her being pulled down the well on her 15th birthday… about finding Inuyasha and how he tried to kill her.. the love between Kikyo and Inuyasha.. ( her heart cried out at this part… Hiei never missed it though he listened to her story still.. this would be something to ask about later) how they had been tricked and how she was her reincarnation .. she even told him about Kikyo coming back to life with the help of part of Kagomes soul.. she told him everything down to the bone… about the team.. Naraku.. and even how they had killed Naraku in the final battle and her deal with the great Lord of the West… and how she had finally come home with Shippo and Kilala .. then moved here.. hell she even told him of how she had met Kieko and gone to school.. she looked up at him as she finished her story..

 

 

Hiei thought over this… if he didn't respect her before he did now… but he couldn't help but feel she had left out some of what had transpired between her and the Inu hanyou..

 

“So you have the jewel in your possession now?” he asked her curtly… he watched her tense a bit..

 

 

“Listen Miko.. if I wanted the jewel.. I would have taken it by now..” he sighed.. - not like I would get far with it anyways… Rekai would chase me down till the seventh layer of hell and back for this artifact-

 

 

Kagome loosened up a bit… “ so now.. you explain.. I want to know everything”

 

Hiei watched her get comfortable “ about 400 years ago.. the world was split into three.. Makai, Rekai, and Ningenkai.. the demon realm, the spirit realm, and the human realm.. why its true most demons were forced into Makai.. some have permission from the Rekai to remain in this realm.. such as myself and my partners…” he paused to watch it sink in..

 

Kagome made a “oh” face as she smiled “ well that all makes sense then.. and let me guess your partners are Yusuke, Kurama and um… the orange haired one” she tried to think of his name.. but cringed when an image of him blowing her kisses entered her head..

 

Hiei smirked … he then continued to explain to her about the SD team and why they were all serving on it.. about Boton and all.. “O yeah.. by the way your friend Sesshomaru is now the King of Makai”

 

 

Kagome grinned “ really?? !! He's still alive?!?! I was afraid something had happened to him..” she thought about this.. this made her heart lighter .. a lot lighter..

 

 

Hiei stared at her waiting for her to focus on him once more.. “ Yusukes Onna went looking for you after school.. and sh came here to find you bleeding and in the arms of a demon”

 

“wait!!! She knows about demons and stuff like that?” Kagome asked.. her eyes somewhat wide..

 

“Of course she does… shes been with Yusuke for a while.. she'd have to know about us”

 

Kagome smiled.. this was great she had a friend that she could actually talk to about this all!! “ go on” she hurried him wanting to know what else had happened..

 

Hiei continued and told her in as few words as possible what had transpired.. all the way up until they were connected.. “ and then the Inu did something that I think surprised us all.. he asked Koenma to Link me and you… so we are bonded in a sense.. though im not sure of the extent..”

 

Kagome stared at him.. “ you and me… forever?” she blinked as tears started to well behind her eyes..

 

Hiei looked up from the floor when the smell of salt hit his nose - no… shes crying.. she really cant stand what I am- he looked away his feelings of self loathing rising.. he didn't know why she could make him feel this way.. when suddenly he was caught off guard..

 

“Im so sorry.. now you have to be connected to me for your whole life.. or mine however it works… im sorry” she whispered … but she was sure he had heard her.

 

shes worried about me not wanting to be connected to her.. not the other way?? Why?- Hiei stared at her.. his face in a rare display of shock..

 

He regained his composer.. “Hn.. its no big deal”

 

Kagome stared at him a few minutes later .. silence rested in the room all except the occasional sob that would escape her..

 

“ what does this make us??? If you die if I do.. then I wouldn't ever want to put your life into harms way” she shifted her eyes to the ground..

 

Hiei watched her “ that wouldn't happen.. no on will ever get close enough to be a threat” he stated as he looked back out of the window..

 

no.. so this just means that I will be alone for the rest of my life… so much for being normal… - she looked back up at him… her tears now dried up.. she could feel the salt sticking to her cheeks - and its not like he would ever want a worthless human like me anyways… I guess I was always doomed to be un-loved and un-worthy-

 

She sighed then placed a big smile on her face.. “ well we might as well be friends if we have to spend what sounds like a lot of time together”

 

Hiei looked at her.. his expression dull.. as if he was bored.. “ I don't have friends” he whispered

 

Kagomes face visibly fell.. “oh.. ok” she blinked as she watched him look back out the window.. - does he want to leave that bad?-

 

She was about to get up and go down to get glass of water when a voice echoed around her room making her hart stop..

 

 

~Kagome~

 

She stopped breathing as her body tensed up..

 

Hiei growled a he moved into a defensive stance.. his aura spreading in search of the person in possession of the strange voice… that's when he heard a loud scream echo out of the girl in the room with him he turned his eyes to her in time to see her fall.. he rushed to her grabbing her before she hit the floor..

 

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

 

 

Kagome's body tensed.. as she felt a sudden white hot pain run through her chest as she felt a warm sticky liquid rush down her stomach… her mouth tasted metallic.. what the hell was happening .. one name echoed off of her lips as she fell..

 

“Inuyasha”

 

Hiei stared at her.. she was bleeding profusely from a gash on her chest… blood rising to her mouth.. he hadn't even been able to sense what had happened it had all happened so fast…

 

 

He pulled the small girl up to his chest as the bedroom door opened up.. “ I thought I told you to keep your hands to your----- “ Shippo stopped when he saw his adopted mother lay bleeding in the strange demons arms.. the fire/ice demons eyes soaking a even deeper red..

 

Hiei walked over to the kit picking him up with one swipe he said hastily as he sped off out the door at a very high speed.. “ we need to leave” he murmured to the worried kit..

 

 

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

 

Yusuke jumped up off of the couch as Hiei ran in through the open balcony door.. “Hiei whats going on?”

 

Keiko screamed when she noticed Kagome and her condition.. “ what happened to her!!”

 

Hiei growled as they tried to get close.. his eyes still a deep red.. “call Boton Yusuke… we need to see Koenma and the King of Makai”

 

 

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

 

Sesshomaru stared down through red tinted eyes at a now sleeping Kagome…

 

Koenma fiddled with his hands..

 

Hiei stood next to the bed Kagome occupied.. all members of the SD team were present… also Sesshomaru ,Rin ,Shippo , Koenma and even Kieko..

 

 

“What happened?” Kurama asked… finally now that Kagome was out of harms way , he could finally voice the question that everyone had been thinking…

 

 

“I don't know… we were talking explaining what had happened.. when we hear a voice… say her name.. then I looked to see where the voice was coming from.. and that's when I heard her scream.. I didn't sense anything.. but she did say one thing before she passed out..”

 

“Inuyasha” Sesshomaru grated the word out as if saying it might make all three worlds go up in flames…

 

Hiei stared over at him.. “Hn” he crossed his arms.. he didn't like to admit it but what had happened tonight had happened fast.. to fast.. for even him to stop.. and that left him with the feeling of fear for the first time in his life…

 

“Bring me Inuyasha's soul from hell” Sesshomaru seethed as he left the room..

 

 

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

 

 

A dark figure smiled at a silver haired hanyou.. his long claws pushed further into the soft flesh of the girls neck his huge claws happened to be around..

 

“ Our little game starts now Inuyasha” Orange eyes stared down into brown.. “ make sure Rekai finds you and questions you as to why the Miko spilled your name as he blood fell….. or your own Miko will perish… even Enma himself couldn't save her from my wrath”

 

 

Inuyasha stared up at him.. his golden eyes broken.. “ yes… Lord Si….”

 

The dark figure smirked as the woman in his grasp wimpered..

 

“let it begin”

 

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