Last Time:

That's what started the whole thing, that single night where she'd submitted to his will. The night she'd fled from Inuyasha and straight into the hands of a lusting demon. That night she'd felt what it was like to be wanted. No, to be needed. Hiei had needed her that night. Looking back, she realized that she had needed that night as well. It'd freed her from everything, all there had been was she and him.

 

This Time:

 

Something was pulling at her senses, warning her that she needed to wake. Judging by the way she felt, it hadn't been more than two hours since she'd fallen asleep. Slowly her eyes opened and she looked over the injured demon. He still appeared to be asleep though, so what was urging her to wake. Her answer came when she heard deep growling coming from the wounded man. Looking over at him, she noticed that he'd tensed and was just now beginning to wake. His eyes snapped open and she nearly gasped at seeing that they were entirely a deep blood red. His twin red orbs focused on her and her eyes traveled over him before realizing something. There was a bulge in his black pants and his claws were lengthening.

 

Her sapphire eyes slowly returned to his glowing rubies as two and two came together. She'd heard of this from Kaede. The demon before her was obviously in a heat cycle, and was lusting after something. Namely his body required fulfillment and judging by his blood covered state, he had been turning sexual lust into blood lust and killing demons. Since his eyes were completely red, she'd guess that his instincts were taking over and demanding that he rut. If he didn't, he'd probably start killing the surrounding humans.

 

Knowing that he was in a complete state of need and that need had to be sated, she moved her long ink colored strands from the side of her neck and tilted her head in an act of submission as she kept her blue eyes locked on his glowing red. His eyes seemed to darken in color as his lust became more prominent. His wounded body slowly moved closer to hers as his lips made their way to her throat. She held her breath as she felt his own against her exposed flesh. Hers was released slowly as she felt him lick the bared skin. He'd accepted her offer of submission.

 

His hands reached for her shirt, but she quickly intercepted, causing him to growl. Before he could do anything, she quickly pulled off her own top as well as her bra and tossed them aside quickly. Her reasoning was that she'd prefer them to be in one piece when she needed them in the morning. His eyes trailed across her now exposed flesh, easily taking in the only scar which marred her perfect flesh. A star-burst shaped white-pink mark which rested on her side.

 

His eyes then traveled back up to the round breasts which looked delicious to his lust induced mind. Leaning down, he took one of the pink nipples into his mouth and began suckling, causing the girl to gasp as the sensations coursed through her. One of his arms encircled her middle, pulling her closer as the other reached for her unattended breast. She felt as the rough and slightly calloused hand began massaging her soft flesh, and another gasp was pulled from her lips.

 

Soon his mouth moved to the other nipple and a hand rose to continue torturing her other hardened pink bud. When he sucked harder and pinched her other nipple between his fingers, she moaned and her hands raised to grip his shoulders. These sensations were all so new to her and she hadn't any idea that these simple actions could make her feel like this. Already her body was yearning for more. She felt as the hand holding her in place slid down to her skirt and tugged on it. Slowly her own hand slid down and unzipped the cloth, allowing him to simply push them and her panties down her body.

 

His hand slowly slid to her thigh and she could've swore that the appendage was warming up, getting hotter the closer it got to her hidden treasure. When his mouth stopped it's ministrations to her breast, she whimpered in protest. The demon slowly pushed her body back so that she was laying down and finished pulling her skirt and panties off before tossing them aside. The ground was cool and hard as it touched her completely bared skin. However her eyes were glued to the demon before her as he rose and undid his pants, removing them quickly before returning to her body. He kneeled between her legs and lowered his mouth to her core. A slight gasp that turned into a moan escaped her lips as his tongue touched her folds.

 

His tongue continued exploring her nether region before it ran across something that had Kagome moaning deeply. Soon his tongue was attacking the little bundle of nerves before he sucked it into his mouth. She barely registered his probing fingers or the fact that two were currently pumping in and out of her. A third was soon added as he nibbled on her clit. Fire shot through her body as the knot in her stomach coiled tighter. Any more and she felt that she would burst. And burst she did. He tugged harshly on the little bundle of nerves and she exploded into his mouth as she bit her bottom lip to contain her pleasure filled scream.

 

The demon growled in approval at her taste as he slowly slid up her body and positioned his heated member at her wet and quivering core. Leaning down, he claimed her lips in a demanding kiss as he rammed his hardened length into her. She tensed, but showed no other signs of pain, though he stilled to give her a few moments with which to adjust. When she shifted a few moments later and gave a moan, he began moving within her. He rocked in and out as he continued kissing her.

 

Releasing her mouth when she required air, he moved his lips to her neck as his rhythm remained steady. The girl started lifting her hips to meet his thrusts which resulted in his cock rubbing against that little bundle of nerves which had her stomach tightening once more. He felt as her inner muscles started gripping his length, and he started driving into her harder and faster. Soon she couldn't keep up, but kept her hips tilted so he continued to hit against that sensitive spot.

 

The girl felt as her world practically went black as her inner muscles tightened and her orgasm slammed into her. A slight pain went through her shoulder as she felt the demon on top of her slam his member deep within her and his hips jerked slightly. It felt like something hot and sticky had just went off within her and she understood that the demon had orgasmed as well. It was several minutes before her eyes opened and she attempted to move. It was difficult to do, however, when the demon was still lying on top of her.

 

She felt as his member twitched within her, still being hard even after ejaculating once already. She knew that it meant he would still require more to be sated. After another minute, she closed her eyes and willed her inner muscles to tighten around his still hard cock. He groaned as she also slid her smooth leg against his side in offering. He readily accepted as he once more began moving within her. It continued like this, his member remaining within her once they were finished. Her taking a few moments to rest before once more offering her body in an attempt to sate his lust. Her persistence soon paid off as the demon collapsed on top of her, finally spent and not having anymore to give. Though his hold on her tightened as he rolled onto his back with her on top and his member still buried within her.

 

When his eyes finally closed and sleep overtook him, she tried to move but his hold held her tight. Giving up on the prospect of redressing before he once again woke, she reached for the nearby blanket and covered them up as she prayed no one would come across them, as it would be terribly embarrassing for her. Laying her head down on his chest, making sure to be careful of his wounds, she allowed her own sapphire eyes to close in exhaustion and sleep to take her away from what was going on.

 

It was a few hours later when crimson eyes slowly opened to take in their surroundings. The last thing he remembered was being attacked by several A and S class youkai and being pretty badly wounded. When his sense finally returned, he realized that someone was on top of him and that his cock was incidentally buried within their body. Looking down at his chest, he noticed a mass of long black hair. At least it's a female. He thought vaguely as he tried to remember what had transpired. As a guess he assumed that his instincts had taken over and he'd found a demoness worthy enough to bed. Taking in the scent that surrounded him, he found that he liked it. Coconut and vanilla mixed together with the faintest hint of cinnamon.

 

When her body shifted slightly, he nearly groaned as his cock sank deeper within the girl's body. Apparently his own body was ready for more, though it seemed that the girl on top of him wasn't. When she shifted again, he did groan out loud. He didn't think he could take much more of her moving in his current state. That's when the memories flashed through his mind. First of the battle where he'd barely managed to kill off the demons before escaping and falling into a portal that led to human world! That thought had him looking back down at the girl with slight fear. Great, if I raped her and she's ningen Koenma will probably have my head.

 

She shifted again, but this time she woke as she did and she looked into his crimson eyes with her own sapphire. When she noticed that his eyes were no longer completely red, she smiled. “So you're actually in control now.” Her words surprised the demon, and it showed in his eyes as the emotion flashed through them. “I hope you don't mind my still being on top of you, but you had a really strong grip even after you went to sleep.”

 

“Onna, what happened?” He questioned as he looked at her in near curiosity. There was something different about the girl, and she seemed to know that he was different.

 

“I found you wounded and seemingly asleep, youkai-sama.” The girl whispered, knowing better than to say anything that might make the demon mad while she was still as she was. “I fell asleep after I treated your wounds and woke shortly before you did as well, and I could tell that you were not in a proper state of mind as your eyes had bled completely red.”

 

So I was consumed by my lust, but did I rape the girl or not. It doesn't appear so by the way she's acting though. The girl once again shifted and he had to hold in a groan, though she moaned at her own action. If she does that again… His thoughts trailed off as she once again shifted and moaned. Fuck it! Flipping them over, he pulled almost all of the way out before ramming harshly back into her. It wasn't long before they were both climaxing because of the fast pace he'd set.

 

The girl hissed when he finally stilled as the slight pain returned to her. Her nether region ached slightly from its night so far. The demon seemed to notice her pain filled hiss as he looked at her questioningly. “You were my first and I'm a little sore from the last few hours.”

 

She saw as his eyes widened. “I took you repeatedly for several hours?”

 

“Hai, almost six I think.” She answered in a tired tone. “May I know your name youkai-sama?”

 

He looked down at her in slight surprise before realizing the full impact of what happened. Humans were easily impregnated, and the girl could be carrying his offspring. He knew nothing about her except that she was human, and exceptionally good looking for a human. And all she knew of him was that he was a demon that had been injured. “Hiei.”

 

“Hiei-sama.” She replied in a tired tone. “My name's Kagome. It was nice to meet you.” A giggle punctuated her words and his look of surprise returned.

 

“You are a strange onna.”

 

Her eyes twinkled with mirth as she looked up at him. “Says the demon whose cock is still snugly within me… a human.”

 

He had to agree that she did have a point. He was still buried within her and more then capable of taking her once more. “There is a difference.”

 

“Being in heat is not a good one.” She replied with a giggle. Noticing the slight shock on his features, she assumed that he thought she wouldn't know about that. “I am quite knowledgeable when it comes to youkai, Hiei-sama. I could easily spot the lust in your eyes and deduced the problem and acted on it.”

 

“So you are the reason this happened?” He questioned as he looked at her. For some reason he was talking more than usual.

 

“I was afraid that you'd kill the humans in your lust crazed state, so I submitted before you left.” She whispered as she looked away from him. “I'm sorry that I, in a way, forced you to lay with me.”

 

Well that was new. The girl had just apologized to him for submitting and probably saving the city from him. This ningen was definitely strange. “I highly doubt you forced me into anything.”

 

It was strange that she smiled at him after he spoke those words. “I suppose I couldn't force a strong youkai like you to do anything really.”

 

“How is it you know about demons?“ Hiei shifted as he questioned her, and earned a moan from the girl beneath him as his own cock twitched at the movement; begging for more.

 

“I can sense them.” She said through her moan before looking up into his crimson eyes. “Are you still in heat?”

 

He looked directly at her, and he couldn't help but tell her the truth. “Hai.”

 

“Then let me get up so I can dress and we can go somewhere more private.” She whispered out as her cheeks tinted slightly red.

 

“You just learned my name, yet you wish to go somewhere private with me so we can continue this?”

 

“You are in heat and I can help you.” She whispered back. “I'll understand if you don't want to, since I am human.”

 

He just looked at her before a smirk tilted his lips. “Human or not, you're mine until my heat cycle's over.”

 

She smiled playfully at him. “Now that that's settled, let's go somewhere that people can't see us.”

A smile touched her lips as the memory continued replaying through her mind. That day she'd stayed with Hiei and her heart had slowly mended with time and his `affections'. Once it healed, she'd slowly begun to fall for him. His touches were usually soft and towards her he was abnormally gentle. This time she fell willingly, knowing that she'd only ever be a body to warm his bed. But at least she had that. He took care of her needs and made sure she received pleasure as well. Though he never did take the binding from his arm, or that bandana from his head.

 

Since she was so focused on her thoughts, she hadn't seen a young red haired man that she seemingly collided with. Looking up, her sapphire blue eyes met with emerald green. “I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.”

 

“It's quite alright miss…”

 

“Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi. And you are sir?”

 

“Minamino Shuichi.”

 

“Well I am terribly sorry for running into you Minamino-san.”

 

“Not a problem Higurashi-san. I wasn't paying enough attention either.”

 

Kagome smiled at him. “Please, call me Kagome… I hate all these pleasantries.”

 

The man nodded with a chuckle. “Very well, then you may call me Shuichi.”

 

“You seem very familiar Shuichi.” She took in his appearance before snapping her fingers. “I saw you at the store the other day when Yuka was dragging me around. She'd said something about `the Shuichi Minamino' being there.”

 

“The Shuichi Minamino?” He questioned with a smile.

 

“Hai, you're a legend at my old school, Naoko High.”

 

The man's eyes widened slightly at that. “That is a very highly praised private school.”

 

“Hai, I went there up until several months ago. Now I'm home schooled and am close to graduating early with honors.”

 

“Might I ask where you're heading?”

 

“Memorial Hospital. My grandfather became ill and I wish to visit him as I didn't get the chance to yesterday.”

 

“I'm sorry to hear that.”

 

“And I'm even more sorry to say it.” She said softly. “But I'm sure that fate has its reasons for doing this.”

 

“You believe in fate, Kagome?”

 

“I am a shrine maiden, so I was raised to believe within it and the kami.” Suddenly she turned her now mischievous eyes to him. “Of course ji-san would tell you that none of my lessons have ever stuck. According to him I've broken sacred law.”

 

“And what have you done which is so horrid?”

 

“I have sought comfort in the arms of a man, but worse than that, a man my ji-san proclaims is a `demon'.” She giggled. “He's always throwing sutras at everyone and trying to exorcize or purify them.”

 

“Oh?” The man questioned as he leaned closer to her. They were currently walking further in town.

 

“Hai, it's funny when he tried to throw them at my `boyfriend', as he simply destroyed the pieces of paper.” She almost said that he incinerated them before they neared him. When the hospital came into sight, she sighed sadly. “It was good meeting you Shuichi, but I'm afraid I must go.”

 

“I hope to see you again, Kagome.”

 

They parted ways and the girl entered the large building and headed for the front desk. “Can I help you?”

 

Resisting stating that the correct grammar would be `may I help you', she asked her question. “Yes, what room is Ikiji Higurashi in?”

 

“Room 216.”

 

“Arigatou.” The girl whispered as she left to find that room.

 

When she entered the room, her grandfather smiled up at her. “Kagome, I had hoped to see you one last time.”

 

The woman shook her head at him. “Don't be silly ji-san, you'll be seeing me many more times.”

 

The old man chuckled and waved her over to his bedside. “I'm old Kagome, I have to go sometime.”

 

“That doesn't mean that your time is now.”

 

“Perhaps, but perhaps not.” The man said with a slightly sad smile. “But I have things I wish to tell you before I do pass. Now is as good a time as any to begin.”

 

“Alright ji-chan, what do you wish to tell me first?”

 

He smiled at her. “First of all, happy birthday sweetie.”

Kagome slowly moved through the crowded streets, somehow managing to avoid the other ningen which seemed to be trying to obstruct her path. Her mind was busy trying to decipher all of what her grandfather had told her. How her father might still be alive, and how her grandfather wanted her to go through the scrolls at the shrine and find secret family scrolls that she should train herself and Souta with. Her mind quickly returned to the subject of her father though.

 

“Your mother kept my last name, though she did take on the title of Mrs. Your father was a powerful man who used his energy to kill any demon that crossed his path, thinking them all to be evil. At least until he met that green haired one. I think his name was Itsuki. Anyways, it all went downhill from there. I heard little of what all happened on the night that everything changed, but what your father saw twisted him. His mind was no longer stable and he felt terrible about the demonic life that he'd taken.

 

From what I know there was a ritual that several humans performed where demons were brutally tortured and slowly killed in such horrendous ways. Growing up, the boy thought that demons were evil and humans were good. That things were as simple as black and white, he'd never understood that there was lots of gray. When he saw what had transpired, he snapped. Slaughtering all of the humans within, then when Itsuki arrived he claimed that they were already dead; but he was covered in their blood.”

 

“What was my father's name? Why didn't momma take his name?”

 

“Many demons were after him and he was afraid that they'd go after Kun-loon if they knew about her. But his name is Sensui. Shinobu Sensui.”

 

“Could he really still be alive?”

 

“He might've been killed for some sort of crime, but I'm not sure. He was known as a spirit detective until that night. After that he started changing and then disappeared altogether.”

 

“Shinobu.” She whispered out. “I will find him.”

 

That was all she could think about, the fact that her father might still be alive. Daddy, I'll find you.

“You've been bugging me for answers fox, and I finally give them and all you can do is laugh?” Hiei questioned as he glared at a certain red headed man.

 

“Forgive me Hiei, it's just that I can't believe that you would wish to court a human let alone touch one.”

 

“She is not an ordinary ningen.” He murmured. “She has been my lover for some time now, and not once has she complained or asked to become more.”

 

“You seem to care quite a bit for this woman by the sounds of it.” The red head respond while still laughing. “But I still can't believe that you are with a ningen.”

 

“Well get over it and help me out.” The demon stated with a glare.

 

“If, like you say, she knows about demons, then she should know some of their customs. Why not give her your hiroseki and see if she accepts.” Hiei supposed that he could do that. Giving a hiroseki as a gift was a mating gift that was meant as a sign of courting. “We could also go to the mall and you could look at items to get her.”

 

\Or you could simply claim her. She is only ningen after-all.\

 

\Be quite Youko.\ Shuichi said calmly to his other half before returning to his conversation with the fire demon.

 

“And what would I get her?”

 

“Well, what does she like?” Kurama questioned as they started moving towards the city and out of the park.

 

/She does not show interest in much./

 

\She obviously showed interest in you.\ Youko replied in an amused tone.

 

Hiei seemingly glared at what he thought of as the annoying kitsune before jumping into one of the nearby trees so he could flit across the buildings and not have to mingle with the ningen. \That maybe so Youko, but we are trying to find something to get for her.\

 

\Perhaps if we knew her…\

 

/No./ That was slightly snarled out, and Kurama knew he was receiving a glare. /I will not let you anywhere near her, kitsune./

 

\A little possessive, aren't we? Most ningen hate that.\ His remark earned a growl from the fire demon. Since he was so engrossed in their mental conversation, he didn't notice the woman coming towards him. Which he effectively walked into the poor girl. \She looks delicious.\ The kitsune in his mind whistled.

 

He could hear Hiei growling darkly at him and was curious as to why, he looked over and saw the girl from earlier smiling at him in amusement. “It's so nice to run into you again, Shuichi.”

 

“Ah, sorry Kagome. I was once again not paying attention.”

 

“And neither was I.” She offered. “I've just been told several things by my grandfather, including that I've been way to busy.”

 

“And why does he think that?” Shuichi questioned as he took her hand and helped her to her feet, earning a deeper growl from his invisible companion.

 

“Because I was just told that it was my birthday.” She responded with a giggle. “I had no idea until my grandfather told me this morning.”

 

The red head chuckled at that. “Then I'd have to agree that you've been too busy.”

 

“Are you heading to the mall as well?” She suddenly questioned as she looked up at him. “If so, would you mind if I walked with you?”

 

“Hai, and I suppose it would be alright.” He said, slightly confused.

 

“Thank-you!”

 

“Higurashi-san!” The call drew the redhead's attention away from the now smiling girl and to a young brunette boy who was running toward them. He also noticed that his invisible companion's glare was now turned to the boy. “I'm surprised to see you out and about, especially after hearing about that nasty incident with the cat.”

 

Memo to self, thank grandpa for a finally valid excuse. Kagome thought as she smiled politely at the young man. “Well I needed to go to the mall and my friend, Shuichi-chan, agreed to escort me. My mother simply couldn't decline.”

 

Kurama looked at the girl beside him in curiosity before returning his gaze to the brunette who was studying him. “Hello, I am Minamino Shuichi. It's a pleasure to meet you.”

 

“Hello Minamino-san; I am Houjo Akitoki, and it's nice to meet you as well.” The brunette replied with a smile. “I need to be getting back to the shop now, but take good care of Higurashi-san.”

 

“I will.” The redhead replied with a polite smile before turning to the girl when he was out of earshot. “What was that about?”

 

Sighing, she looked up at him apologetically. “He can't take a hint that I'm not interested… and I'd rather my `boyfriend' not, well, kill him.”

 

“Sounds like this boyfriend is protective of you.”

 

She giggled and smiled at his words. “It's more that he can't stand to share and doesn't like it when people touch what he deems as `his'.”

 

“Ah. Well, shall we continue to the mall now then?”

 

“Sure!” She chirped happily.

 

Kurama smiled and took her arm as he started leading her through the throngs of people that seemed to overtake the sidewalk. Hiei was growling dangerously in his mind as he did so. /I suggest that you release her, fox./

 

That almost made him pause. \She'sthe ningen you wish to court?\ Youko questioned as his eyes widened slightly. \How the hell did you land such a beautiful lover?\

 

/Fox./

 

\Calm down Hiei, we are simply leading her to the mall and will release her once we reach our destination.\ Shuichi replied smoothly. \And this makes things easier as we can find out what she likes while we walk.\

 

/You better not try anything./ The fire demon growled dangerously.

 

\I won't.\ Turning back to the girl beside him, he finally noticed what she was wearing. “I just noticed that you're wearing a kimono, most girls wouldn't.”

 

“I am not most, and I prefer kimono.”

 

“That one looks expensive.”

 

“I wouldn't know, a friend bought it for me. When he noticed my eyes drift toward it, he told me I needed to make sure it fit and then said it was mine.”

 

“Was it your boyfriend who bought this for you?”

 

She giggled and shook her head. “No, it was just a friend.”

 

“This friend seems very nice.”

 

“He was.” She replied. “And this is one of my favorite kimonos now, because it reminds me of someone very special.”

 

“Oh?” He questioned as he looked at the silk material. “It's patterned with kitsune.”

 

“Hai, and that's why it reminds me of him.”

 

“Him?”

 

“My little Shippo.” She replied happily. “He's the sweetest little boy, but an orphan. He looks up to me like I'm his mother because I'm always taking care of him. He's got reddish gold hair and emerald green eyes and is so cute.”

 

“So you've essentially adopted a young child.” \Did you know about that Hiei?\

 

/No./ He replied darkly.

 

“Well, he just kind of asked me if he could call me mother a few days ago.” She answered as she looked up at the mall. “I suppose we should separate here unless you wish to accompany me through the stores as well.”

 

“I don't mind. I'm actually waiting for a friend to show up, and I know he hasn't yet or he would've called.” The redhead replied smoothly. “And besides, I'm a little early anyways.”

 

“Alright, well I need to get several different things for a few people.” Trying to decide where to go first, she decided that the book store would work. “So what are you and your friend going to do here?”

 

“Oh, just look around.”

 

“You know, I didn't think guys liked shopping.”

 

“Who can complain when they're in the presence of a beautiful girl?” Youko questioned through the redhead's lips. Shuichi groaned internally at Hiei's dark growl which had the kitsune snickering.

 

The girl merely shook her head with a giggle. “I come here to get something for Miroku, and he pops up in the form of my companion.” With mirth filled blue eyes, she looked up at him with another giggle escaping her rose red lips. “Such flattery is wasted upon me sir, for I already have someone else, as I've told you.”

 

Kurama was shocked, as was Hiei, but Youko was chuckling darkly as he pushed himself forward once more and took her hand into his own as he kissed it. “A compliment is never wasted, whether it be between friends or lovers.”

 

She once again giggled as she winked at him. “Then I suppose we are friends,” her right hand slowly slipped up to the top of his head and tweaked an invisible ear, causing him to freeze “you devilishly playful kitsune.”

 

“How did you know?” He questioned as his eyes shifted to being slightly gold tinted.

 

“One: your soul is covering the other at the moment, two: your image is overlapping, and three: my little kit told me about avatars.” Winking at him, she turned back to the books on the shelf behind her.

 

Youko was now smirking as his golden eyes took in her form. \I think I like her.\

 

\Was she just flirting with you?\ A growl met that question.

 

\No, she was simply being playful.\ Youko responded.\You're a lucky son of a bitch Hiei.\

 

/What makes you say that?/ The fire demon questioned darkly.

 

\You have a beautiful vixen who is loyal to your claim on her. A human vixen at that.\

 

“Come on Shuichi, I have the books I need.” The girl said, snapping him from his mental conversation.

 

He smiled at her and followed as he looked over the books in her hands. “Since you know of my demon aspect, I'd prefer if you called me Kurama; as it suits me best. And are those psychology books?”

 

“Hai, Miroku likes them.” She replied.

 

“Would this Miroku happen to be your boyfriend?”

 

A giggle. “He's more like a brother, and is married to my best friend, Sango. She's actually carrying his pup.. Ah child.”

 

“Pup?”

 

“Inuyasha keeps saying that she's pupped, and it's gotten almost everyone to be saying it.”

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

“He's a… friend.” She replied softly. There was something in her tone that had Hiei growling.

 

“You make it sound like he's more than a friend.”

 

“I loved him at one point…” She whispered out sadly, and Kurama knew Hiei was growling darkly. Then she gave a soft smile as her eyes seemed to cloud over with memories. “It's because of him that I met my boyfriend.”

 

“Oh?”

 

“Yeah, I'd gone to tell him that I was going home and found him with Kikyo.” The name was said with a tint of anger in it that made the kitsune curious. “He'd just told me that he loved me, then I found him with her. You see, I met him when I was fifteen and I quickly fell for him. Not long after did Kikyo reappear and well she was his first love. She wasn't the same woman that he fell in love with, but he didn't care. Well, he'd gone to her that night and I followed after him to tell him I was leaving since we were close to the shrine. He never noticed as I approached and they started undressing each other. I turned and ran, and when I reached the shrine I decided that I didn't want to see my family at the moment and so I rushed off and into the park where I came across my boyfriend.”

 

“That is rather strange.”

 

“That's what I thought, but I didn't question fate.” She giggled out. “And speaking of Inuyasha, I promised him some ramen.”

 

\Hiei, calm down.\ “You're bringing something to him even though he hurt you?”

 

“He's one of my friends, and I made a promise to stay by his side no matter what.” She replied with a shrug. “Besides, I'm getting things for everyone as a sort of celebration.”

 

“Celebration?”

 

“Hai. It was two years ago today that I learned of youkai and my training started. First I met Kaede, then Inuyasha, Shippo, Kikyo, Miroku, Kirara, and Sango.”

 

“Are you getting something for yourself as well then?”

 

“I'll hopefully get what I want tonight, when I return.”

 

“You're going somewhere?”

 

“To visit my friends and celebrate.”

 

“And what do you have planned for tonight?”

 

The girl's face darkened in color before she looked to the ground. “That will be a surprise for my boyfriend.”

 

\You're a lucky son of a bitch.\ Youko grumbled, causing Hiei to mentally smirk at him.

 

\Quit whining Youko.\ Shuichi said before turning back to the girl. “So where to next, and for which person?”

 

“To the candy store for chocolates for my kit.”
