Summary: Kagome is crossing between the present and the past while trying to balance school, friends, and even a lover. Many things will happen as the Inu-gang will be forced to face off against Naraku many times, while things in the present might be getting a little difficult.

Let’s get telepathic!

(Tsuki)
Kitsune

Last Time:
“You fought well.” The fire demon complimented. “But you aren’t to fight youkai anymore.”

“What? Why?” Kagome asked as she looked up at him, a little perturbed.

“You will endanger yourself and our child if you do.”

She pouted. “I’m still training.”

“Fine.” He agreed to that one. She could train all she wanted, but he wanted her home every night.

This Time:

Kagome awoke surrounded by warmth and far too comfortable to be in her bed. Looking around, she realized that she was still in Hiei’s strong embrace and was sleeping against his heated body. Though she was awake, her breathing remained even so that she could remain like this for a while longer. (Mistress, your grandfather is searching for you.)

A sigh escaped her lips as she slowly shifted so that she was sitting up. “I need to return to the shrine Hiei.”

He nodded and dropped down with her in his arms, she smiled at him and gave him a kiss before she turned to leave. His hand caught her wrist and turned her to face him as he did so. “I wish to see you later.”

“I’ll be home tonight.” She assured him with a smile. “But I need to train today.” He gave her a nod and she walked off back toward Genkai’s compound. When she reached it, she found her grandfather, Genkai, Yukina, and Kurama already awake. Yukina stood from the table as she excused herself and pulled Kagome toward her room so that the girl could borrow something to wear for the day.

She opened her closet with a smile and offered to let her wear anything she wished. “Though mostly there are kimono.”

“I prefer Kimono.” Kagome said softly with a gentle smile. After looking through the selection, she pulled out a pale blue one with a pure white obi. Yukina stepped outside so she could change and then they returned to the kitchen where Hiei had shown up. The dark haired girl seemed to smile brighter at this and Genkai simply allowed a brow to raise in question, though Kurama merely smiled. Yukina giggled and offered her some breakfast, which she accepted. Tsuki and Hikari both jumped into her lap and curled up around each other causing her to smile softly at them both.

“Ikiji tells me you’re studying scrolls that involve my techniques.” Genkai said in a conversational way as she sipped her tea.

The young woman looked up and nodded her head. “I am most interested in the technique called the ‘Spirit Wave’ as it may be useful to help one of my friends. Her brother is not himself these days and this might release him of the demonic influence as well as keep him from thinking himself is to blame over the deeds he was forced to commit.”

“You know someone who is possessed by a demon?”

“It is more an item which he is controlled through that is placed within his body. Removing it otherwise could quite possibly kill him.” Kagome replied with a sad note. “I’ve been practicing your technique in hopes of using it on him when next we meet.”

“Who is it you are training under?” The old woman questioned curiously.

“Several friends and an old woman who is like a grandmother to us all.” Kagome answered casually. It was amazing how good she was getting at stating facts but keeping most of them to herself.

“Where exactly do you train at?”

“Mostly it is in a forest near Kaede’s, which while it seems to not be far from the shrine, is rather far away.” It was true. Kaede’s was five hundred years away.

Ikiji merely shook his head at their talk and smiled. “I think it is time for us to return home, Kagome.”

“Hai, ojii-sama.” She stood with a smile. “Farewell Yukina-chan, Kurama-kun, Hiei-sama, Genkai-sama.” Her eyes sparkled as she gave them each a bow to go with their titles and turned to follow her grandfather out. Hiei had seemed slightly surprised at the title she’d given him, but shrugged it off as there were others around and only Kurama knew of their relationship.

The group watched them go as the two animals shifted into their larger forms to carry them off. Kagome slid onto Tsuki after helping her grandfather onto Hikari. A shimmer of magic surrounded them before they seemingly vanished. Kurama recognized it instantly as kitsune magic and assumed either the girl learned it from her son or that the kit with them created the illusion.

Panting was heard as well as the clang of metal on metal as it appeared that two warriors were fighting diligently against the other. One wore the outfit of a slayer as the other wore something closer resembling the ensemble of a samurai. It was a fighting kimono that was dark blue and covered in swirling pink sakura petals. They were evenly matched as one went to strike only to be blocked by the other. They seemed to dance around each other, but the slayer wasn’t all that great with her sword. With a flick of her wrist it blocked another strike, but her opponent was prepared and twisted their body to strike with their hand as they spun their leg out to knock them off balance. The tactic worked as the slayer went down and her sword flew from her hand.

A woman with dark hair and sapphire eyes smiled at her victory as she helped the brown eyed woman to her feet. “You know Miroku will kill us if he finds out.”

“That’s why we’re not telling him.” The slayer replied with a giggle. The slayer then turned to her companion, Kirara, and asked her to bring Inuyasha to them.

“Inuyasha?”

“You can deal with my intelligence and skill in battle, but you need to deal with speed and brute force.” Sango instructed with a smile. “A brash hanyou is the perfect training, then we need to teach you to deal precision blows and how to avoid them.”

“And we need to pray I don’t have to deal with them anytime soon.” The sapphire eyed girl said with a giggle.

“You need somethin Sango?” Questioned a gruff voice as an inu hanyou appeared near them.

“Actually, hai Inuyasha. I need you to spar with Kagome so that she can learn to deal with greater speed and brute force.”

“You sure she’s ready to be fightin me?”

“Hai Inuyasha, now begin.”

The hanyou shrugged and withdrew tetsusaiga, though he didn’t transform it. At the questioning look he got from Sango, he told her he wanted to make sure she could deal with it before he transformed it. The slayer nodded. He rushed the girl and she easily dodged and brought up her sword in an attempt to strike him, but he quickly vanished. Used to his quick movements from watching his battles and even being accustomed to watching Sesshoumaru fight, her eyes quickly adjusted and caught sight of him.  He charged her and she twirled around and raised her blade to block his strike.

Steadily things got more difficult as her energy began to run low. Growling to herself, she decided to try something new. Smirking, she stabbed her blade into the ground and turned in time to dodge a blade being swung at her. Her eyes glowed a pure white for a moment as power built around her and energy formed at her finger tips. “Spirit reflection blast!”

The hanyou was blasted half-way across the field and Kagome swayed for a moment before shaking away the slight dizziness of using a new technique. As Inuyasha shakily rose to his feet, he turned to look at her. “Where’d you learn that?”

“In a scroll from the shrine. It’s one of Lady Genkai’s techniques. I’m also studying several others.” Kagome replied with a small smile.

“So you learn better from scrolls?” Sango asked as she approached her. When the slayer received a nod, she smirked. “Then I need to return to my village to gather a few things.”

“May I come?”

“It’ll require a three day trip.” Sango commented, knowing that for some reason Kagome had been if-y about leaving anywhere and not being able to return to the well before nightfall.

“I’ll explain to Hiei that it’s required for my training, which it is, and that I’ll be back as quickly as possible.”

“So you’ll leave for Sango’s village but not for shard hunting?” Inuyasha questioned, slightly angry. They’d not left the village for nearly a month now. Kagome had even had to return to her time every single night and all because of her ‘boyfriend’.

The miko sighed as she looked to the ground. “There is something that I’ve yet to tell you all, but I wish to not be overheard.”

Sango nodded at this. “I’ll gather Miroku and he’ll set a barrier around us.”

“Alright.” Kagome agreed softly. Sango disappeared after that and returned fifteen minutes later with her husband in tow. They quickly set out for a little clearing and he erected a barrier around them which would contain all sound before he purified the inside of the barrier of all taint simply to make sure nothing overheard. Shippo had also come with them and was looking at her expectantly. So she asked them not to say anything until she was done, then told them of how she was carrying a pup and how it was growing at the rate of a fire demon pregnancy, acted like a fox demon pregnancy, and required energy like an ice maiden pregnancy.

“So let me get this straight… you’re carrying this demon’s pup and that’s the reason we can’t go anywhere?” Inuyasha practically demanded.

“If you want Inuyasha, I can leave for five to six days before we need to return. Yukina said that I’d start weakening after the third day, but that the affects wouldn’t be too bad until the sixth. But we can’t go out for two weeks at a time.”

Sango nodded. “Now I understand why you’ve been returning home each night. Hiei-san is sharing his energy with you so that you can cope with the pregnancy, and so you don’t miscarriage. At least we can train more often.”

Miroku seemed to be deep in thought though. “How much longer will you carry for, Kagome-sama?”

“Two and a half months according to Hiei, but that’s if I carry to full term. Why?”

“I will need to speak with Kaede-sama, but I believe I have a way to alleviate some of your stress. There is a spell I know, but it requires a mass amount of ki to create. I can use offuda and pour some of my ki into them, then you could place them on your side of the well. In essence, it would slow time through the well. I believe I can alter the spell so that a month would pass there while a day passes here.”

“Could you really?” Kagome asked excitedly. “If this worked, then I could stay home for the rest of my pregnancy and then return a month or two after the birth. Then only a week would’ve passed here.”

“But you will need the scrolls I want you to study if you do this. And we’ll have to ask Kaede about miko scrolls.” Sango commented.

“And I’ll tell Hiei that after I get this done, I might be able to remain at the shrine until after the pregnancy. Then I could even finish school early!” Kagome said excitedly.

Miroku nodded at their plan and easily disbanded the barrier as they all made their way to Kaede’s to ask the miko for help. Kagome also came up with another idea and Miroku agreed that he’d place a barrier around the village for the time being. While not strong, it’d repel Kanna’s mirror and any demons who wished harm. Unless the demon was powerful and repetitively attacked the barrier, then it would fall; though they’d at least have a warning.

When they reached the hut and asked Kaede about miko scrolls, the old woman nodded and told them that she could get some. So it was decided that she’d send Miroku to a temple with a letter asking for them to train her apprentice with while the girls would travel to the slayer village with Inuyasha and Shippo to make sure they remained safe. With that all decided, Miroku dragged her outside and told her that he’d gather scrolls on reiki control from Mushin since he’d have Hachi accompany him.

And so Kagome smiled as she told them that she would be going home; though before she made it far, Shippo informed her that tonight was the night of the new moon. With that, she turned and grabbed Sango as well as scooped up Kirara. “Would you like to be able to communicate with Kirara?”

The slayer’s eyes widened at that. “Hai, I would love to!”

Kagome then had Sango slice her palm open and sliced open Kirara’s paw. Thus the bond was formed. Sango agreed to have Kirara bond with Kagome as well, and the miko happily obliged before her smile turned slightly shy. “I would also like to bond with you, Sango-chan. I know that we are both humans, but the bond works the same with us as it does with youkai. It’s more a ritual that we’d have to do, though with youkai it only requires their blood touching ours because the magic is in their blood.”

“I would love to become your sister by blood, Kagome-chan.” There was such happiness in the slayer’s eyes that the miko hadn’t seen in a long time. Not since she‘d thought she‘d had Kohaku back. “But we should wait until we return from the slayer village, alright?”

“Alright Sango.” The miko agreed with a smile of her own. “And if anything goes wrong, simply send Kirara through the well, ok?”

“Alright.” The slayer agreed.

“Can’t you go play with Souta and Shippo?” Kagome asked as she attempted to do some of her homework on her laptop. Already she’d gotten her bath and pulled on a baby blue yukata.

“I’m staying right here.” Grouched an annoyed human as he sat on the bed with his back against the wall.

At least he had a bath first. Kagome thought as she saw him sitting on her purple satin sheets. No pink had touched her room since she turned sixteen. She’d even painted her walls a powder blue color so that they were no longer pink. Of course Inuyasha was wearing modern clothing since she’d decided to hide his hinezumi robes. He was wearing pajama pants that had little fluffy white dogs patterned on them, and a dark blue muscle shirt. Shaking her head, she turned back to her homework as he simply sat there… staring at her. “You can quit staring.”

“Why are you working on that?”

Sigh. “So I can graduate Inuyasha.”

Neither noticed the shadow that entered through the window and hid in the shadows of the room. “Why do you want to graduate so badly?”

“Are you sure you can’t go bug, I mean stay with Shippo and Souta? I know how much you love halo.”

“I’m perfectly fine right here.” The man argued as he glared at her. “Why are you so intent on getting me to leave?”

“Because Hiei will be coming over and he doesn’t need to see you in my room.” She grumbled.

“I’ve slept in here before.”

“Not since he and I got together.” The girl grumbled. “Now please Inuyasha, go stay with Souta and Shippo.”

“You’re the one who dragged me here.” The man argued.

“It’s your human night and you’re safer here, especially with Hiei, Souta, Shippo, and I in the house.” The girl said as she twitched in annoyance.

“Feh!”

That did it! “Sit! Souta Shippo!” Two boys immediately rushed into the room and looked to the seething young woman and then to the now unconscious hanyou. “Get him out of here before I do something I regret.”

Shippo snickered before stiffening. “Someone’s here.”

“Huh?” Kagome asked before she realized he was right and smiled. “Hello Hiei!” She’d turned and was smiling at a dark corner that the demon slowly came out of.

“So he’s human tonight?”

Kagome nodded and shot the unconscious man a glare. “Hai, now get him out of my room and keep him out.”

“Hai momma/sis.” The boys said before dragging him out.

With him finally gone, Kagome sighed and moved to collapse onto the bed. “He’s irritating.”

“Then why deal with him?”

“Why do you deal with anyone?” Kagome questioned back, knowing that he seemingly hated everyone.

The hi youkai smirked at that and slipped into the bed next to her after removing his boots, cloak, and belts. His arms wrapped around her torso and pulled her back against his chest and he noticed that she smiled happily at the feel. “How was your training?”

“Wonderful, I even got to spar with Inuyasha today,” she admitted, seemingly proud of herself. “But Sango-chan needs me to stay for about three days. After that, they don’t think I’ll need to go train with them as often.”

“Three days and you’ll be staying home more often?” Hiei questioned her curiously.

“Hai. She’s going to gather something for me to train with, as is Miroku-kun and then I can stay here to train during the day until after my pregnancy.” She fidgeted for a moment. “Is it ok if I stay with her?”

“Hai.” The hi-youkai agreed with a nod. “But I expect you back in exactly three days.”

“I promise I’ll be back by then.”

Sango was near the well as she got ready to leave. Miroku had left already stating that he needed to stop by Mushin’s on his way back from the temple that Kaede was sending him to. It wasn’t long after sunrise that Inuyasha appeared through the well, though he seemed ticked about something. Kagome followed with Shippo and the two animal youkai that now followed her everywhere. Sango smiled and Hikari morphed to her larger form, as did Kirara. Tsuki also did and nudged Shippo. The kit smiled and climbed onto her back as Kagome giggled at them.

Sango laughed as she shook her head at them and climbed onto Kirara’s back. The group set off as Inuyasha ran beneath the flying animals and Shippo was laughing as Tsuki sped up and slowed and did midair flips with him still on her back. Kagome and Sango were talking about their babies. “So what do you want yours to be, Sango?”

“A boy, like Miroku wants.” The slayer commented. “What about you?”

“I wouldn’t mind either a girl or a boy. Assuming Hiei wants to, we can always have more later.”

“That’s a good point.” Sango murmured. “But I’d still prefer a boy first.”

“Have any names in mind?”

“Aiko for a girl, or Akihiro for a boy. You?”

“I figured that Hiei would name the child, like most male demons do in this time.”

“What name would you choose for your child if you were to choose?”

“I’m not sure.” The miko responded with a shrug. “But I’ll have to discuss names with Hiei.”

“Most definitely if you haven’t come up with any.” Kagome grumbled something back about still having plenty of time. Sango only giggled at her. “Anyways, do you have anyone to practice sparring with in your time?”

“I need to train Souta.” She commented. “We tend to use boken but they’re not as good as the real thing, why?”

“We’ll collect some good supplies while at the village so that you and your brother can train while you’re home. But you have to keep your skills up.”

“I will, I promise.” Kagome said with a large smile before her eyes suddenly widened. “I still have to pick up the sword from Totosai-san!”

Sango giggled. “I’ll make Miroku pick it up and I’ll bring it to you in your time.”

“That would be awesome Sango.” Their chatter continued until later that night when Inuyasha seemingly disappeared. Feeling a slight pull on something inside of her had her curious, so she dove into her mind and looked through it. When she reached her miko energy, she realized that it was her soul that felt the pull. But that means… Kikyo. With that knowledge, Kagome returned her focus to their surroundings and spread out her senses. There were no demons anywhere nearby, and that was a very good thing. Tsuki and Hikari curled up on her chest as she lay down with a sigh, and Shippo laid his head on her stomach as he, too, curled up close to her.

The group all woke shortly before dawn and set out quickly, skipping breakfast in doing so. They managed to reach the slayer village within a few hours and Sango gathered several weapons as well as many scrolls. The three animals all made sounds of protest as Sango and Kagome attempted to carry the items and quickly moved over to them. The girls both giggled and attached equal items onto each one. It wasn’t long before they had once again set off. Inuyasha was smirking now as the animals flew lower and closer to him. “It seems the lower youkai are all too scared to face me now!”

An hour later and Kagome was wishing that she had strangled the hanyou for his little outburst. They were currently battling a horde of lower youkai and several higher level youkai. Sango was also furious and she was throwing hiraikotsu at all the approaching demons. She looked livid. “How the hell did he get B-class demons to fight against us?”

“I wanna know where the hell he’s getting all the E and D class!” Inuyasha exclaimed as he cast the wind scar once again.

“Momma!” the shout came from Shippo as she turned to find one of the higher class racing toward her. A hand rose and energy shards shot forth as she glared at the ashes in annoyance.

The rest of the high level decided to stand back until they deemed it safe enough to come in and leave unscathed; which they had a long wait. After another five hours, Sango started to tire. Tsuki was given an order to help Kirara protect the slayer and she did her best. Energy surrounded the neko and the shadows began bending to her will as they waved around the slayer in order to prevent an attack on her being. The cat demon was growling dangerously as several low level tried to get too close to her charge. In mere moments the filth was nothing but a bloody pile. The energy surrounding the cat steadily picked up and soon her range of shadow control grew wider.

Hikari’s range of power was also climbing as she combated the demons that came to close to her mistress with the help of her mistress’ son. It was another hour before she herself began to tire, her pregnancy making the drain on her energy go faster. A panicked shout had her turning in time to see a sight that tore her heart. Shippo had jumped in the way of an attack meant for her and a sword was pierced through his chest by an A-Class youkai. Energy suddenly began bubbling around her and her eyes flashed to violet with a blue pupil as the energy exploded outward with no care as to whom it touched. Screams of pain surrounded her, but she only cared about one person in that moment, “Shippo!”

Sango, Inuyasha, and the three animals quickly moved away from the scene as Tsuki swiftly grabbed the hanyou’s haori and propelled herself into the air so that they could miss the energy attack. They all watched as the energy violently tore into anything in its path. All the remaining demons screamed in pain and terror as they were completely wiped out. The energy continued to crackle around them as the miko rushed to the kit before shakily pulling him into her lap, “mom… ma?”

“I’m here my little kit.” Her whispered words seemingly soothed him as his eyes slowly began to darken.

A small smile appeared on his lips as his eyes sparkled in happiness. “I can see my papa.”

The miko’s eyes widened and she had to choke down a sob at that, though tears still ran freely down her pale porcelain face. “Then go to him Shippo, he’s waiting just for you.”

“Ai shiteru okaa-sama.”

“Ai shiteru Shippo,” Kagome whispered back as his body went limp. Sobs could be heard as the energy began reacting violently around her. Her friends backed away as the energy began to swarm into the air.

Sango quickly looked to Inuyasha before turning to Hikari. “Do you think you can go in there and get them? We need to take her back to Edo before more come.”

The kitsune nodded sadly as she dove into the energy and navigated her way to her mistress. Nudging her, she got her to turn and saw her depressed eyes. (Come mistress, we need to leave. I’ll carry you both to Edo.)

The girl nodded, not even bothering to correct the mistress part. Her arms wrapped tightly around her little kit that was slowly shrinking and transforming back into his true form, a fox. With midnight blue eyes, she lifted herself onto Hikari’s back with one hand before curling around her little boy and crying harder. The kitsune growled deeply to calm her and she fell asleep quickly from exhaustion and the kitsune rose from the ground and into the air to the others who were awaiting.

“Is something wrong Hiei?” Kurama questioned as they sat outside of Genkai’s compound.

“Kagome, she promised to return yesterday, but she hasn’t.”

“Perhaps something important came up.”

“Yes, something did.”

Kurama turned to the voice while all Hiei heard was barks and yips. “Something did happen?” The red head questioned. “What do you know?”

“Mistress’ son was killed.” The little white kitsune said as her tail wilted farther. “Inuyasha-sama brought mistress home today, but she’s not herself. She just curled up further on the bed and mumbles that it was all her fault.”

Emerald green eyes were almost impossibly wide at that as he stood. “Hiei, we need to get to your mate’s house. Now.”

The fire apparition stood and took off at the urgency in the silver’s voice, not even correcting that the girl was not yet his mate. He felt a rise in demonic energy and realized that Kurama shifted into his youko form in order to keep up with his speed. It was no more than fifteen minutes before he landed in the Goshinboku and was able to see into her room. A woman wearing a patterned kimono was trying to sooth Kagome, as she was continuing to cry. He easily slipped into the room and noticed that the woman tensed immediately as she quickly turned to him. The little black neko quickly jumped onto her shoulder and shook it’s head no, though.

“I guess that means you’re one of her friends.”

Not a moment later did Youko Kurama enter the room before shifting back into his Shuichi form. On his shoulder was Hikari and she quickly jumped to Kagome’s side and began nuzzling into her like Kirara was doing. “What happened?”

The woman in the patterned kimono turned to him with a sad sigh. “We’d gone to collect something and Inuyasha, being the idiot he is, commented that the demons were too scared of him to attack us. Not long after, a horde of E through C class demons attacked, as well as a couple B-class. We did fine for the first six hours. I tired out after the fifth, but continued fighting anyways. Kagome was doing the best out of us all, but she was tiring quickly. She never noticed a single A-Class aiming for her, but Shippo did. He took the hit and next thing we know, we have to run from her. All of her energy simply lashed out and everything nearby was practically fried.”

“You went into Demon World?” Kurama questioned sharply.

“You could say that.” The girl said with a shrug. “We needed something and the trip was supposed to be a quick one. Inuyasha’s the idiot who drew all the demons to us.”

“Am not,” said a voice from the window as he entered through it. “All I did was blast a tree out of our way.”

“Which drew them to us!” the girl practically shouted.

“Keh!”

The woman quickly walked up to him, yanked the package from his arms and shoved him back out the window. “And stay out!” With that, the window was slammed shut. The long package in the girl’s arms was quickly carried over to the girl. “Come on Kagome, you need to look at this. Totosai-san finished it.”

\Totosai? The famous sword smith?\ Youko questioned from inside their mind as his interest was peaked. It also peaked Hiei’s.

The girl whimpered, but looked up at the other woman. The two demons were shocked to see her eyes were a deep midnight blue, “Sango?”

The older woman nodded. “Hai, and look what I have. The gift you said was for your lover.”

\She got the mean little bastard a gift?\ The kitsune snickered.

\Hush Youko.\ Shuichi said, noticing Hiei’s surprise.

“How…?” Kagome questioned as she looked at the package.

“Miroku got it for us, remember? I sent him as soon as we returned to Kaede’s.” Sango soothed. “Now don’t you want to make sure it’s perfect before you give it to Hiei.”

\She must not know who you are.\

/Hn./

The girl nodded, though her eyes seemed dazed. Her hands gently reached for and peeled away the paper of the package to reveal a beautiful sword with a pure black blade. Sango gasped at its appearance, as did Youko. \Well fuck, that’s an extremely rare material.\

“Do you know what this is Kagome?” Sango questioned as her wide eyes took in the blade.

A small smile graced the younger girl’s lips as she nodded. “Perfect for him,” Sango shook her head at that, so she elaborated. “It’s an extremely strong material found in Meikai that Totosai used so that the sword can fully control the Darkness Flame technique.”

Well that shocked everyone in the room. “Fully control?” Kurama questioned, shifting Kagome’s attention.

Said girl ‘eep’ed and shoved the sword behind Sango’s back. At least now her eyes seemed a little clearer. It was a moment later that Sango’s eyes widened as she looked to Hiei then back to Kagome, an apology clear in her eyes. Before anyone could say anything else, a ticked off Inuyasha barged in through the door. “Sango you bitch, what the hell was that for?!”

Kagome’s eyes darkened at that and Sango gave a slight nod as Inuyasha attempted to back away. The slayer opened the nearby window and Kirara ‘gently’ shoved him out of it. Now the young girl took a deep breath. “Sit! Sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit!”

“Feel better?” Sango questioned as she wrapped her arms around the younger girl and pulled her back into herself. Kurama and Hiei both looked out the window with wide eyes and mentally agreed to never anger or upset the girl.

“A little,” Kagome murmured before she pulled herself from the slayer’s embrace and flung herself into Hiei’s. Ah, now she felt much better. Tears were still slowly falling from her dark blue eyes as Sango smiled a little and motioned for Kurama to follow her. It was up to Hiei to make her feel better now.

Hello everyone, I’d simply like to let you know that I have finished chapter ten. Considering you probably just read it to get here, you’re probably saying ‘duh’. Anyways, I’d like to thank those of you who have reviewed and/or read this chapter!
