Reviewers
madmiko - Sorry for changing the pairing, I just didn't know how to keep them together, but I have changed it back and I will try to figure a way to keep the pairing working. Thanks for your input.
Megan Consoer - Thanks for reviewing! ^_^
yusukekuramasgirl - Thanks for reviewing, and I'll update as soon as possible.
Sessy'sgirl - She was mad about almost having no sleep, and on top of that being ignored, I know it bugs the hell out of my sister to be ignored.
Nyuka - Thanks for reviewing ^_^! And here you go!
RadioActiveRedhead - Thanks for reviewing ^_^! Glad you like the story so far. But I can't change the title, it just wouldn't look right to change it from Kagome go's to Hogwarts to Kagome Goes to Hogwarts. I think the way it is now, looks just perfect.
twice-as-evil-as-you121212 - Yes I am going to write more, sorry I haven't, I've been very sick lately.... And you'll know soon enough.

Thanks for your reviews

Chapter 17: Through the Plains of Makai
---Previously---
Narrowly sliding past the wide eyed guards, Narell made it to her room. Quickly packing what she thought she would need into a bag and almost stumbling over herself. She made it out of her room and past the guards that stood wide eye and blinking.
Rushing down the hall with her pack in hand, she made it to the infirmary just as Sesshomaru walked in. Out of breath, she glared heatedly at the arrogant dog demon, who turned and smirked evilly. He knew how much she hated leaving when it was not on her own terms.
Redirecting his gaze from Narell, who stood there fuming “We are leaving now.” They all nodded. Hiei jumped from the bed, lightly landing on the ground, while grabbing his pack. Glaring at both males, Narell got ready and joined Hiei the others soon following after.
Grabbing each other's shoulders they disappeared from the Infirmary, startling a few nurses wandering about the room....

Their feet lightly touched the ground as they ran through the fields of Makai. They had been running for most of the day, knowing it would take a day or two to arrive at their final destination. As Hiei ran through the field laid before him, his mind starting to wander.
The strange girl, Narell... She was a relative of his on his father's side, yet she was still close to the clan that had banished him... left him for... dead. The thought of his mother's rejection made his twist his heart in agony. His face didn't show his pain though, showing emotion was a sign of weakness. He would never show weakness... again...
He turned his head, glancing at his distant relative. He had wanted to hate her, but he couldn't bring himself to... she been hadn't been the one to banish him. So hating her would accomplish nothing. Or so he told himself. Narell felt the intense glare Hiei was giving her. He was a few spaces ahead of her and with the quick glances he took... She pick up her speed, deciding that she wanted to leave him behind. It would do no good for her to worry...
They ran till nightfall before camping, just about the time they had crossed the Eastern Borders. Kagome breathed in a heavy sigh. Kagome decided that it was a good idea to set out for some fire wood, hating the thought of sleeping of the cold/hard ground once again. Her footsteps fell heavily on the ground, feeling tired from running all day. The others didn't say a word, but there was a heavy tension in the air. She knew why... and she was anxious about it also. She almost didn't want to arrive at their final destination... but they had to find out...
With enough wood in her arms, she began her trek back to camp. She placed the wood in the repaired camp fire. She then rummaged through her pack, finding the lighter, glad she remembered it. Sparking the fire to life, she placed it back into her pack and sighed.
Looking around the camp reminded her of her days in feudal era, even the scenery here was almost identical to the mystical age when demons roamed the earth. A sad look crossed her face. Did Inuyasha live? Were hanyou's able to live as long as full bred demons? Maybe... but still... she strayed from her friends fate, not willing to dwell. She averted her eyes from the fire, glancing around the camp once more. Narell sat from across the fire, Sesshomaru paced the around the camp and Hiei sat up in the tree behind them.
Kagome, deciding she was thirsty, rummaged through her pack yet again. Finding some bottles of water, she handed one to her friend from across the fire. Narell looked up from the fire and smiled when offered the bottle, getting just as thirsty as Kagome. Quite seemed too settled over the camp; staying like that for a long time. That was until Kagome caught scent of a natural hot spring. She got up from her seat, smiling while she stretched. Grabbing her pack she motioned Narell to follow her. “I think I found a hot springs nearby.” She said grinning to her friend.
Narell grinned back at Kagome, sniffing the air to double check “I was hoping we would pass by one.” She said following her friend down the hill into the deeper parts of the woods. A while passed before they both entered a small clearing. A beautiful hot springs lay between two boulders, it was small but it was big enough for both of them. They both smiled, getting undressed and diving into the hot springs. Both Kagome and Narell gave a contented sigh, finally able to relax after a long day of running non-stop. Lying in the warm waters, Kagome sighed again resting her head back against the bolder behind her. Hiei and Narell both to her knowledge fought like siblings, but it gave her pause... why have they started out so bad? She knew better than to ask, but she couldn't help herself.
“Narell?” Kagome asked, sitting up “What?” She said stretching her tired legs. “What happen to Hiei and you? You both never seemed to have started off to well.” Narell blinked confused
“I-I.... um...” She paused unable to find her voice. She had no idea why they started out on the wrong foot, but... “I guess it's just the way things went...”
Kagome didn't want to accept that answer, but it did give her an idea “Why don't you guys just make up? You don't want to be fighting right now anyway... so let's go get this over with.” Narell was surprised by Kagome, but if meant that she could put this all behind her....

Hiei watched the two women of their group leave the clearing. Maybe... he could... No! He couldn't apologize to her... he was to prideful to ask for forgiveness of someone who was in anyway related to the people who had vanquished him from his... home... He sat in silence for a long time, never being much of a conversationalist. But... was it right of him to be... so... cruel? Narell had never known her family to be like... his... not from what he gathered from her memories. They were... nice. They didn't discriminate against race, but... he was too blind to see that through his own rage. How could she be like them? She didn't even show the slightest sign of hate towards him. He stared down at the fire, its flicking flames hypnotizing, making him forget his own troubles.
A few moments passed before the person that clogged him mind showed up in the clearing that was their temporary camp, with Kagome in tow. Kagome had a determined look on her face. Staring up in the treetops, she spotted him staring down at her with boredom “Come down here!” she ordered, hands on her hips. He stared down at her, considering his options. Deciding he should, he jumped from his perch, landing right next to her. “What?” he said, crossing his arms together. That's when Narell came, her eyes downcast “Um... I think we need to talk.” she said shyly, but with a determination in her voice.
Hiei starred down, a blank look adoring his face, considered his options. If he had any idea of what she was thinking he would guess that she wanted to put this behind them. He had to agree with her if this was the case “I would like to end this feud as well, Narell.” he said making her jump. Narell smiled, he must have been thinking on the same lines as she was. “Okay!” she said smiling. He blinked confused, he didn't expect that type of reaction all the sudden....

The morning came quickly, shining on the lone group traveling through Makai. Kagome yawned, stretching her worn muscles. She opened her eyes to the glaring sun beating down on her tired face. She blinked a couple times, her eyes adjusting to the bright morning light. She got her way out of her makeshift bed, folding it up and placing it in her pack.
Just as she zipped her bag up she felt a pair of eyes on her back, not knowing who it was, but having an idea she turned, her silver eyes landing on two golden ones. But when she tried to turn away, she found that she couldn't move. She blushed, fear rushing through her veins, to the point she found herself dazed...
Narell stretched; almost falling out of her tree she had taken refuge in last night. When her eyes finally adjusted to the lighting she was shock by what she saw. Less than 20 feet away from her tree stood the two lovebirds. She grinned sheepishly, her hand shooting to the back of her neck. Not far from Narell's tree, resided Hiei. He glared at the scene not far from him. His mind raced, his heart beating fast. He closed his eyes, wishing the scene from his mind, but it was all in vain. Jealousy was rearing its ugly head, but he didn't take the bait, for if he did... he didn't want to imagine what would happen....
Sesshomaru smiled, pleased with the effect he had on Kagome, but it seemed short lived. Hiei landed not far from them, his eyes glazed over with anger, his jealously barely hidden from sight. Not that it seemed as he if he was trying to hide his disappointment. Sesshomaru continued to grin, liking his sudden reaction “We must leave.....” he said simply “We do want to put this behind us?” he added, hiding his earlier anger, but still feeling the sting of jealously.
His voice brought Kagome out of her stupor, bringer her back to the present “Yes, let's leave...” she stuttered out, wanting to forget what just happen only moments ago. Kagome making a quick breakfast, that both Sesshomaru and Hiei declined, they left the camp making their way through Makai once again…

They didn't stop for breaks, all of them intent on getting this finally over with. Sesshomaru sighed once again, it was taking them to long... and his patience seemed to wain as of late because of a certain distraction... `Kagome'. Wanting to discuss what they could do to get this going faster, he turned around to face the group, but Kagome beat him to the punch “Let's go ask for directions!” She said, pointing towards the village just a few miles away. Narell and Hiei nodded, but Sesshomaru gave her no notice, choosing to his normal blank expression.
Kagome pushed past the bushes leading to the cliff bordering the village. The village itself was small, but still modern. It blended into the surroundings so well that you almost didn't notice it was there. Looking back she spotted Sesshomaru pushing past the bushes. He came up behind her, his arm snaking around her waist. He easily leaped up in the air, forming his cloud beneath his and her feet. Kagome screeched her mind busing.
Hiei snarled, his eyes bleeding red. Why did he act so... possessive... he never cared for someone else, well besides his sister. He barely even knew Kagome and already he was attracted to her... and having no real reason to care about her... He sighed heavily, deciding not to go into it for now, otherwise he would be left behind. Narell slid down the cliff next to Hiei. She noticed his reaction 'The plot thickens.' She thought silently to herself.
It didn't seem to take long to reach the village, though the way it blended into the surroundings... startled Kagome. All the villagers avoided the group, almost as if they weren't even present. It was odd, but Narell brushed it off. They still had to find Andrell. If only her brother had come along.... he knew the area better than any of them. Sesshomaru headed straight towards a local inn. It was small, but big enough to house a couple of travelers passing through. It seemed to blend easily into the surroundings, so much it was enough to give him pause. He shook his head, needing to clear his mind. He finally reached the inn, it read “Evergreen” above the door, but he didn't give the name much notice.
Once inside he headed straight for the sleeping innkeeper. He slammed his clawed fist down on the desk. The sleeping innkeeper jumped, both hands flying up in the air in self defense. Blinking in confusion the innkeeper shook his head trying to clear the haze. Looking up he gasped “My lord, I'm.... I'm sorry... What can I do for you?” the innkeeper said shaking, bowing his head. Sesshomaru ignored his babbling “Where can I find Andrell, Innkeeper?”
“You can find her a few miles east of here, in a cave up in the mountains,” he shook his head “Most people would stay clear of her... just a word of advice....” if Sesshomaru heard the latter part of what the innkeeper said, he gave him no notice, walking out of the inn. But what did give him pause was Kagome. She was running around the village trying to get anyone to notice her, but only in vain. Chuckling, he shook his head, walking towards Kagome. He grabbed her again, holding her tightly to his chest. He took to the sky again, heading east towards the mountains. Kagome squealed, her heart beating fast. She was so close! She almost had his attention... but then.... she huffed in aggravation, crossing her arms.

Andrell shivered from the coolness of the damp cave, but she was getting used to it by now. She had been living here in this cave ever sense her mother had died.... she cringe, the memory almost too painful to bear....
Talvanna heaved heavily, clutching onto the bolder next to her. She spotted the cave... she needed... to... no...Shehadto make it there. Much was at stake... holding her chest she made her way to the cave, gasping for breath. 'Safe... it'ssafe...' she thought before collapsing to the cave floor, the spear driving itself deeper into her chest. She gasped painfully, her eyes widening. Her life draining from hernow holloweyes. 'Andrell... forgive me...'
Andrell ran up the mountain, her heart pounding in her chest. 'Mother!!' she thought panicking. 'Please... don't die...' tears streamed down her face. Her eyes widening 'Blood....' it pooled around her mother, the spear sticking out from her back. She must have been ambushed coming here.... 'NO!' her mind screamed, she ran to mother, but she was.... dead....
Clutched in her mother'shand was the scroll passed down through generations of her family.
She screamed in outrage... now holding the scroll herself. She knew what her mother had seen... knew that she did this to protect the secrets of an ancient prophecy.... but why did she have to die like this!? It was...
Andrell couldn't... she would break out into tears if she were to remember the last bit of her memory describing the prophecy.... and her mother's last thoughts... she had written them down just in case she died, addressed to her daughter... She must have known about the risk... someone wanted this scroll. For if the prophecy was not complete. Dire consequences would begin to unfold; a thick darkness would grip the world. There would be famine and drought worldwide. And its new ruler... would stop at nothing to kill everything in his path....

---Funnies---
Dragon - Breaking out into a fit of laughter, she watched her dog torment Kagome.
Kagome - She screeched running from the room and returned minutes later with the dog yelping, its tail between her legs.
Dragon - Lifting an eyebrow she shook her head in wonder. “What in the world did you do to that poor dog?”
Kagome - She grinned evilly, but remained silent, returning to the kitchen. Fluff whipped around and flung himself at Kagome again, its little paws stretched out, reaching out for his victim once again.
Dragon -Winced, sighing when she saw her dog repeat its precious actions, only to come back whimpering.
