Chapter 3 An Old Evil

 

Everyone just looked around at one another except Hiei who was looking out the window. “Well, I'm not one to wait for very long, so if no one is going to tell me why I'm here. I will take my leave now.” Kagome said waiting a minuet to see if they would tell her what she wanted to know. Everyone in the room looked at Hiei as if to say, `You got us into this mess. Now get us out.' He let out a growl that only Kurama, Yukina, and Kagome could hear. Then he looked at Kagome straight in the eyes.

 

“Hn, we need the information you have on the Shikon jewel.” Hiei said while watching Kagome, her face stayed emotionless but her eyes and scent gave her way. The first emotion that he saw was sadness, and then hurt after that, anger but what surprised Hiei the most was after she got out of her shocked stated her eyes went emotionless and she took up a defensive stanch.

 

“Who are you people really? And why do you want to know about the Jewel of the Four Souls?” Kagome asked giving warning growls.

 

“We mean you no harm! We just need the information on the jewel so we can tell our boss.” Kurama said in a soothing tone hoping against hope that he could calm the inu-youkai down, before something bad happened.

 

“I have heard that before more than once. And I won't tell you anything.” She said giving another threatening growl making Kuwabara, Yukina, and Botan jump in fright. Hiei stood up and narrowed his eyes at Kagome and growled at her in return. When Kurama and Yusuke saw this they stood up so they could be ready to end a fight if one of them started it.

 

“You will tell us what you know.” Hiei said with a growl.

 

“No, I won't and if you don't mind I will be leaving right now.” Kagome said with a growl. Kagome started to walk toward the door, when Hiei got straight in front of her with his katana drawn and at her throat, ready to force the information out of her.

 

“Hiei stop!” Botan shouted. Hiei reluctantly responded and brought his katana away from Kagome's throat. She then lunged at him knocking him on his back and his katana out of his hand. Botan jumped over the back of the love seat as did Kuwabara and Yukina. While, Kurama and Yusuke walked toward the pair of demons that were going at each other but received growls from both of them, when they came within five feet of them.

 

Kagome was straddling Hiei's waist and had his arms pinned at his side so he couldn't harm her in any way. “I do not appreciate being threatened after I have been told, no one would harm me.” Kagome said growling more death threats toward the fire apparition under her as she loosened her grip on his arms. That was all Hiei needed to turn the tables he flipped Kagome over on her back. Hiei had Kagome in the same position she had him in before, except he was holding her arms above her head, with one of his hands and his other was on the floor supporting his weight so he didn't crush her. (Like he could. ~_~)

 

“Well, I don't like to deal with bitches who don't know their place.” Hiei bit out. “Now tell us what you know about the jewel.” Hiei growled out.

 

“Fine, but get your ass off me, first.” She said in a very pissed but submitting way. Hiei was off of her as fast as lightning and standing by the door incase she tried to bolt away. Kagome got u and sent death glares at Hiei. `What do I do? I can't tell them what happened.' Kagome thought then said the only thing that came to mind. “All I know is that the priestess and her friends were able to defeat the hanyou that was after the jewel and a wish was made on the jewel.” She looked at everyone; they all seemed to be satisfied with her answer except Kurama and Hiei.

 

“Now if you don't mind it is 5:30 in the morning and I have stuff too do so can I leave now?” She said in an agitated voice.

 

“If you don't mind, I would like to talk to my boss first before you go any where.” Botan said in a very cheerful voice.

 

“How long will it take for you to get a hold of your boss?” Kagome asked still throwing death glares and growls, that only the other demons could hear, at Hiei.

 

“It could take a couple of days.” Botan said waiting for her reaction but none really came at all.

 

All Kagome did was answer with. “Fine, but where will I stay and do you trust me enough so I can go home and feed my animals, get some clothes, and come back?”

 

“Sure but you will have to have some people accompany you.” Botan said giving the demon-ness a big smile.

 

“Never mind, why would I want you guys to know where I live.” She said as emotionless as ever then she went and sat down in the chair Hiei usually sat in, while mumbling curse words under her breath.

 

“Well, I guess we will have to go shopping then.” Botan said happily.

 

“Well, before we go any where, can I know about the people who are holding me prisoner?” Kagome said icily. Everyone flinched at how cold her voice was except Hiei.

 

“What would you like to know?” Kurama asked politely.

 

“How did you guys all meet? And why do you have a kitsune spirit in you?” She asked letting a little of her curiosity show.

 

That's when Yusuke spoke up. “It all started when I saved a little boy from being hit by a car-(Insert Story).” It took about two and a half hours for Yusuke to finish. He had told her

about the dark tournament and gave little profiles about everyone.

 

“Now why don't you tell us about your past.” Yukina said while smiling.

 

“How about not.” Kagome said flatly.

 

“But we told you ours.” Yusuke piped up.

 

“Yes, I know but I never said I would tell you mine.” She said.

 

“Well, now that you know about everyone why don't we pick up Keiko and head to the mall.” Botan chimed. Everyone got up from where they were sitting, in Hiei's case standing, and started walking through the portal, that Botan had opened up. Kagome was hesitant to step through the portal, seeing this Hiei decided to have a little fun.

 

~Scared?~ Hiei thought.

 

~No. Why do you ask?~ Kagome thought while asking.

 

~Hn. No reason just wondered, why you haven't followed everyone else.~

 

~I'm not scared. I just didn't want to go right away.~ Kagome lied.

 

~Hn. Oh, really? Then you won't mind if I do this.~ Hiei thought as he pushed Kagome through the portal and was rewarded by getting a small `Eep!' from the demon-ness, as she went through. He then quickly followed.

 

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*At the Mall*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

 

It had taken twenty minutes to get to the mall, due to Yusuke being hit with a frying pan because he had left Keiko on a date three days ago. Kagome had been so pissed off at Hiei, for pushing her through the portal. She had attacked him the minute he had gotten through. They all finally arrived in one piece at the mall, peacefully everyone walked inside. “Where should we go first?” Keiko asked while looking around at the different stores.

 

“First of all I have one question before we go anywhere, who will be paying for all of this?” Kagome asked in a dull tone.

 

“Koenma of course.” Botan said all cheerfully.

 

“What do you mean Koenma is going to pay for it?” Yukina, Keiko, and Kagome all asked in unison.

 

“Being the Grim Reaper has its perks you know, and one of them is being able to buy whatever I want and not have to pay for it? Okay, so where should we go first?” Botan asked after being proud of her bonus.

 

“How about we go into Hot Topic?” Kagome said before she walked off with everyone walking behind her.

 

When they all got there the girls started looking around and the guys just followed them around and sometimes individually. (You know the pairs. Yusuke and Keiko, Kurama and Botan, Kuwabara and Yukina, and finally, Hiei and Kagome. No surprise.) Kagome picked out a black shirt that said, `Strange is not a crime' in blood red letters.' Then she picked out another shirt that said, `You laugh because I'm different I laugh because you are the same.' Then another that said, `I'm going back to my own little world because people know me there.' After that she also picked out three black tank tops, and a couple of pairs of black baggy jeans with an assortment of chains and zippers on them.

 

While they were in there and it was just Kagome and Hiei, she had held up two shirts to him that said, `I may look vicious…but I'm a total sweetheart.' For that shirt she had gotten a death glare and he had snatched it away and put it back. The other one was just perfect, from Kagome's view, it said, `Keep Starring…to bad you can't have this.' Kagome looked him over and then read the shirt again and then again turned to look him over. Hiei found this a little enticing so he started smirking and when she saw this, she was the one who gave him the glare. Kagome ended getting it anyways and she then followed the girls all the while thinking of actually giving it to Hiei. `What the hell am I thinking?!' Kagome yelled at herself.

 

After they were all done with that store they went to four other stores when Kuwabara said, “I'm hungry can we please get something to eat, now?” Then right after he had said that his stomach growled getting some giggles from Keiko, Yukina, and Botan, while Kagome got a disgusted look on her face and mumbled something about stupid humans.

 

When they got to the food court they bought two large pizzas one with pepperoni and the other with sausage. While, they ate the girls, excluding Kagome, chatted about the guys and the clothes and what not, while the guys, except Hiei talked about the girls and battle strategies. After about an hour of talking and eating Kagome asked a question she had been wondering for a while. “Where will I be staying? And who will I be staying with?” She asked out of the blue.

 

“Well you will be staying with Kurama and Hiei.” Botan finished with a big gulp of air when she saw the evil look, Kagome was giving her. When Kurama saw this he growled at Kagome and got strange looks from everyone except Hiei and Kagome, who had smirks on their faces but no one was quiet sure why.

 

~It's about damn time fox. ~ A voice in Kurama's head said.

 

~Is that you Hiei? ~ Kurama thought.

 

~Hell no! Do I sound like Hiei? ~ The voice said letting how agitated they were got threw the link.

 

~Well, who is it then? And what do you mean `it's about damn time'? ~ Kurama thought while getting angry.

 

~It's me Kagome. Stop playing dumb you know damn well what I meant when I said `it's about damn time'. But if you like, I could spell it out for you. It is about damn time you started showing your feelings for Botan, even if it was just a small growl because I was scaring her.~ Kagome thought while getting cocky.

 

~What are you talking about? ~ Kurama thought trying to play dumb.

 

~Don't act stupid. I know all about the feelings you have for Botan, because men and Yoko had a long talk while you were daydreaming. ~ She thought starting to get annoyed and then disconnecting the link.

 

`Why can't he just tell Botan how much he cares for her?' Kagome asked herself.

 

`Why are you so cold and uncaring?' Asked a voice in Kagome's head.

 

“Who the hell are you?' Kagome asked the voice.

 

`I'm you, well, sort of. I'm the conscience you locked away about two years ago. Now answer my question. Why are you so cold and uncaring?' Her conscience informed her and then asking the same question.

 

`That's just how I am now go away and leave me alone!' Kagome thought while getting really annoyed.

 

`No, I will not go away, and since you are so cold and uncaring that means you probably don't take orders from anyone and you also don't give a damn about what they think. But what I don't understand is why you are being so submissive to that ever so cute fire apparition over there.' Her conscience said. If Kagome hadn't learned from the best on how to keep her emotions hidden, she would have fallen out of her chair in shock.

 

`As much as I like to listen to you…me whatever you are, rant and rave. You just went too far. I'm ending this conversation, now. Bye!' Kagome thought as she pushed her conscience into a little box with millions of looks on it.

 

Kagome came out of her stupor to find that Keiko and Botan had been trying to get her attention for a while now. “Hn” Was all Kagome said. Keiko took that as, `I didn't hear what you said' and so she repeated the question.

 

“Do you want to go with us back to Kurama's and Hiei's place or do you want to stay here?” Kagome looked around, there were a lot of people in the mall and more just kept coming in. Since she wasn't much of a people person she left with everyone else.

 

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

 

It had been a week all ready and Koenma hadn't been able to see her. The girls were going to go get Keiko, so they could all go to the mall again, to pick up paint and what not for the guest room. Since Kagome hated what it looked like. Her exact words were, “Hell no. If I have to stay here my room will not look like this!” So that brings us to where we are now.

 

When they got to Keiko's house it was a disaster, pictures were ripped, chairs and tables were over turned and some even smashed. Botan pulled out her communicator and called the guys over, while, Kagome searched the house. There was a familiar but sickening smell everywhere. When Kagome got to Keiko's room there was a note pinned to the door by a dagger that had Keiko's blood on it. She ripped the note off the door and started reading it.

 

 

Dear Miko or is it Lady of the Western Lands,

 

I have got your stupid human friends just like I took your pup last time. I will give you your friend back and no harm will come to you or any of your other friends if you give me the jewel. I just hope you haven't made a wish on it like I think you have for all or your friend's sakes. Because if you have they will all die and you will have to watch them scream and suffer just like the last time.

 

Naraku

 

Kagome let out an agonizing howl that brought all of he spirit detectives flying up the stairs what they saw shocked them to no end. Kagome punched the wall, putting a hole in it, her black hair was now blood red, her claws and fangs were also longer and deadlier, then her eyes were black and they seemed to be looking straight into their souls. “No one is to follow me. I will bring Keiko back by myself. Is this understood?” Kagome asked in an icy voice. When they all nodded she ran off.

 

“What happened where is Keiko!” Yusuke all but yelled.

 

“I don't know but whatever happened has caused Kagome to go into blood lust.” Kurama said while picking up the piece of paper that Kagome had dropped. Then he read it over and got a horrified look on his face. “Hiei follow Kagome. You will be the only one able to keep up with her, we will catch up later. Botan take this note to Koenma. Have him find all he can bout this demon.” Kurama ordered.

 

“What's going on Kurama?” Botan asked.

 

“I'll tell you later but right now we have to leave if we are to help Keiko and stop Kagome from hurting anyone.” Kurama yelled over his shoulder while running down the stairs with Yusuke and Kuwabara hot on his heels.

 

*@*@*@*@*@*@*Kagome's POV*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

 

When we arrived at Keiko's the house was a disaster I couldn't believe it and a feeling I had not felt in a long time grabbed a hold of me, it was fear. I ran through the house looking for any signs of who had been here, there was a scent but I couldn't place if for some reason, that is until I went upstairs and found a note pinned to Keiko's bed room door. I read over the note twice to make sure I wasn't just reading things but there it was his name, `Naraku.' I thought as I let out an agonizing howl. Then everyone came rushing upstairs. I looked at them, `I can't let them get hurt not like last time.' “No one will follow me! I will bring Keiko back by myself, is this understood?” I commanded sounding cold and harsh. `Naraku, I don't know how you came back but I will kill you and make sure you never come back!' I promised myself then I saw everyone nod their heads. I then took off following Naraku's horrible scent. I had run about ten miles out of the town when I came across a cave deep in a forest. I involuntarily shook from the look of the cave as painful memories came flooding back enough to bring me to my knees. I was so wrapped up in my memories that I narrowly dodged a lightning attack that was directed right for me.

 

“I don't know why master Naraku sent me to deal with you, you are much too weak.” The arrogant demon said to me as he used a lightening bolt to attack me again. I dodged easily this time and then got behind him and sliced his head from his body. After, I cleaned my claws off, I ran inside. `I have not time to mess around with these dumb demons.' I thought as a familiar present made its self known, it was Hiei, but I didn't care all I wanted was to kill and keep on killing even though my conscience was telling me to get a hold of my senses and stop.

 

I had beaten ten youkai before I got to where they were holding Keiko prisoner. What I saw just made me stop in my tracks, right in the middle of the cave stood Naraku with a bloody and beaten Keiko, tied up behind him. That's when I lunged at Naraku and took his head only to find it was a doll, a part of me had known it was a doll but the other part just wanted blood and didn't care. I let out another agonizing howl then walked over to Keiko and healed her then I felt Hiei, he was right behind me. I turned around and looked at him. He had his emotionless mask on, like mine, but something about him calmed me a little. `I can't let anyone else get hurt!' I thought and took off running to hide.

 

*@*@*@*@*@*@*Hiei's POV*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

 

I saw her kill all the youkai till we got to the very back of the cave. Standing there was a youkai dressed in a baboon pelt with a beaten and bloody Keiko behind him. Kagome attacked the youkai and killed it but it was only a doll then she let out an agonizing howl. She then went over and healed Keiko. I moved so that I was directly behind her. She seemed to have calmed a bit but then she looked at me and bolted away.

 

~Fox, I found Keiko. She is in a cave ten miles away from the city. ~ I thought

 

~Okay, where is Kagome? ~ Kurama thought

 

~She bolted away. ~ I thought

 

~Do you know where she went? ~ Kurama asked.

 

~Hn, yes. ~ I answered.

 

~Well go get her then. ~ Kurama ordered.

 

~Hn, fine. ~ I thought then closed the link and took off to my secret hiding place. That Kagome had found sometime that week.

 

*@*@*@*@*@*@*Author's POV*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

 

Hiei ran through the forest pas his house then into a park about six blocks away. He then walked through the park until he came to some really high trees and bushes. He pushed some aside and found a cave entrance. He walked in the cave that was lit with its own little power source. There were a whole bunch of trees and demon plants from makia along with some different animals. It looked like a rain forest just in an enclosure but the prettiest thing of all was the waterfall. Hiei looked around for Kagome. He then found her sitting by the pond where the waterfall ended. She was crying, all of her tears turned into black and blue stones while others were swirled in between the two colors. He looked at her face. It gave away no emotion what-so-ever all that told you she was crying were the little whimpering noises and the tear stones.

 

`She's crying? Why? Why do I even care? Damn bitch for making me even care for her!' Hiei thought as he walked closer to Kagome. “Stop crying, we all have our problems and sob stories.” Hiei said in a bored tone.

 

Kagome looked at him this time showing two emotions, pain and anger. “DID YOU EVER *Sob* HAVE TO WATCH YOUR SOON TO BE MATE, *Sob* PUP, AND YOUR BROTHER AND SISER KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!” She yelled at him.

 

He bent down right in-front of her so he could look into her eyes and what he saw tore him to pieces. All he could see was sadness and pain, and all he wanted to do was help her. “No, I didn't have to watch my soon to be mate or pup or brother or sister get killed. But I have had bad things like that happen to me.” Hiei said starting to make little growling and purring noises to calm her down, just like he had done for his sister when she was little. Kagome launched herself at Hiei and started crying on his shoulder. Hiei did the only thing he could; he wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner and started to rock her back and forth like a child. It took about ten minutes for Kagome to stop crying. Finally, she fell asleep not to long afterwards so Hiei picked her up bridal style and carried her back home.

Author's Notes: Well, one exam left and I'm getting one wish I've been wishing. (That sounds weird…) Anyways, I'm getting out of Spanish II and going into Business and Tec. But I have to rearrange my schedule, so now I have:
