InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Melody ❯ Calling To You ( Chapter 6 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Hey, I am back sorry it took so long to update. I have decided to start making my chapters get longer and longer. Therefore, I hope you enjoy this one. The next will be even longer. ^_^ Oh and all those who do not review please do. I would really like to know what people think of this story. Therefore, I can know what people think and make sure to let me know if you think I am making it get to long.   Disclaimer I do not won Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho though I wish I did. Sadly I enjoy the stories on fan fiction more than the real one.

Chapter 6: Calling To You (Koenma’s office)

There where!!!!? How the Hell did they get there!!!?” Koenma’s fist slammed down on his desk, sending many of his files and documents flying. Botan stared at the floor with a pale face, “I… I do not know Sir. A demon had opened a portal and dragged her through. It closed behind Hiei when he ran through it.” Botan fidgeted under Koenma’s deep stare,” Botan how did the demon open a portal? Wait…” Clutching his head Koenma’s face went ghostly white, “We have to get them out of there now! If my father finds out about this, there is no telling what he will do to me. Botan open a portal this instant and get Yusuke!!!” Botan fidgeted even more, her eyes going from side to side, “I can’t open one Koenma Sir. At least not in the area they are in.”

Koenma stared at her, his mouth hanging open slightly, but then quickly closing it, he walked closer to her, “Why is that Botan?” Sighing Botan looked into Koenma’s eyes, worry shining in her own as she spoke with a quiet soft voice, “There in the Demon Lords land. If I open a portal there he’s going to be very angry, and you already signed a contract stating that we will not open a portal anywhere near his lands.” Koenma was frozen in fear at the memory of his meeting with one of the greatest demon lords that had ever lived and is still living. “Botan how close to them can we open the portal?” Sighing the ferry girl looked at her feet, “It would take a few days and maybe more for the others to catch up to them… But knowing the demon lord he will probably get to them first.” Koenma sighed and rubbed his temples as a headache began to form, “Go get Yusuke and the others, we have to at least try. Brief them as quickly as you can on the current situation. But for heavens sake tell Yusuke that if they meet the demon lord they are not to say a word. Kurama will be the one to speak to him since he won’t screw this up.” With that, said Botan quickly left in search of the others, leaving Koenma in his office still filled to the brink in documents.

The trees flew by in a blur; Kagome’s body had become numb from being carried over Hiei’s shoulder for so long. She could not believe it, he had just grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulders and started running. A glare was spread across her face. She would have purified him by now but she did not really know where she was or how to get back home. Anger spread through her at the treatment she was receiving. In fact, from what it seemed like the angrier she got the more he picked up his pace as if to laugh at her. Though she did have to admit he was faster than Inuyasha….. Much faster than Inuyasha. “Put me down now or I’m going to purify you! And I mean this instant!” Hiei suddenly stopped unexpectantly making Kagome’s head slam against his back. When Kagome looked behind her she saw the entrance to a cave, making her nervous.

A smirk crossed Hiei’s face as he flipped her off his shoulder, letting her drop at his feet with a thud. “Owww!!!! Did you have to drop me like that. You could have been more gentle you know!” Hiei’s smirk just spread across his face as he gave her his back and entered the cave. Kagome’s face grew red hot with anger at his disrespect. She had been around demons long enough to know what that meant. But soon forgot her anger as she took in her surroundings. The cave Hiei had just disappeared into was not made of the grayish black rocks a cave was usually made from. Instead it was blue topaz that seemed to have been carved into a design around the doors that she had also just noticed. The design upon closer inspection showed the four legendary guardians. Suzaku, Seiryu, Byako, and Genbu, the four legendary Hero’s who took up the names of China’s legendary guardians to bring honor back to them when China began to fall into darkness, forsaking their gods.

Musashi Miyamoto who bore the mark of Suzaku, wielded the sword of fire. Nakagawa Takamori baring the mark of Seiryu, wielded the bow of wind. Asai Katsui with the mark of Byako, wielded the staff of earth who was the only female out of the four. And finally the one with the mark of Genbu Takeda Mitsunari who wielded the spear of water. Ancient words where carved around the design. The words were so old that she didn’t even recognize it. Not to mention it probably wouldn’t be in any text book or ancient documents recorded. Humans had probably never seen it before. Kagome was soon snapped out of her thoughts by a, “Hnnn,” from the entrance. Hiei stood waiting at the entrance, sighing when all she did was look at him with a strange look in her eyes, “Onna are you going to stand their all day or are you coming in while I figure out where we are?” Kagome blushed when she realized how long she had been standing their like a dolt. Walking over, her blush fading, Kagome decided to ask the question forming in her mind, “What’s this cave? What is the language that surrounds the four legendary guardians?”

Hiei frowned slightly, “Baka Onna what the hell are you talking about? It’s just a normal cave. Now quit standing there like Kuwabara, that dundering idiot!” Kagome glared at him, her voice raising, “What the hell do you think I mean, I mean tha!!!!” Her voice faded as she looked at the entrance where her finger was pointed. What was a second ago a very well designed entrance with blue Topaz was now a normal cave. Kagome stared in confusion, irritating Hiei even more, making him impatient. “Onna hurry up. I’m not waiting here all day!” Rage flooded her mind as her voice rose to a high pitched scream, “I’m Kagome!! K! A! G! O! M! E! Ka-Go-Me! Not baka, onna, bitch, wench, fool…. It’s Kagome, so you better use it.” Amusement flashed across Hiei’s face for an instant before it became emotionless and untouchable once again.

Meanwhile….

A windowless room glowed dimly as a tall figure stood bent over some parchment. A small figure soon bolted into the room gasping for breath, “My Lord!” Frowning the figure straightened up from his work. His voice as smooth and calm as a gentle flowing river, “I thought I told you not to bother me when I’m working in here.” “Forgive me My Lord but you said to come and get you no matter what if the contract was broken!” Whimpered the small figure as he coward before the one he called Lord. Frowning, the Lord stared down at his adviser, “Hmmm I was not expecting him to be so foolish so soon. What direction are they in?” “To the South My Lord, there are two of them at present. They didn’t open the portal themselves from what I can tell, but they are on your lands none the less. Plus its quite obvious one of them belong to him. Those worthless mongrels, how dare they break the contract that you so kindly gave them My Lord.” “Enough… It does not matter. We leave now, ready everything for our departure,” walking past his adviser, he headed out the door, His adviser following right on his heels like a dog. “My Lord I have already set everything for our departure.”

Meanwhile..

Yusuke growled out in annoyance, “Now tell me again why we were sent here!” Kurama sighed, frustration plain on his face, “Because Yusuke.. Hiei and that girl Kagome were sent through a portal and we need to find them and bring them back.” Yusuke swatted at a few branches that whacked him in the face, “So why couldn’t Kuwabara come along? And Damn it why so far away from where they’re at?!” Rubbing his temples Kurama sighed once again as they continued on, “Because Yusuke, Koenma made a deal with the Demon Lord that owns this land. He did so because if went on his land that worked for him than he would have went after Koenma. Koenma himself is afraid of him on account that this demon is one of the strongest demons that exist.” Frowning Yusuke let this sing in, “Then if we get caught by him we’re going to be force to fight him?” Kurama paused for a second, “I hope we are not forced to Yusuke, and to answer your other question he hates humans. He hates half breeds as well, maybe even more, The only reason you got to come along is because we need one other person just in case.”

Meanwhile…

Kagome’s annoyance was spreading the longer she was with him. First he forced her to leave the only shelter they had at the time. Than he’d been pushing her without rest to god knows where. It was a good thing she had been in the feudal era for so long or she wouldn’t be lasting as long as she was. She again thought about the cave entrance and its strange appearance and disappearance. Soon though her thoughts forgot about the cave and once again began to drift back to those days that she longed to live in once again. The days where she fought along side all the others. Soon drifting to memories she longed to forget, the memories of when Inuyasha began to change and drift away…. Distancing himself from everyone….. Everyone including herself…. (Feudal Japan, Year and a half ago)

Kagome held the crying fox cub close to her as she glared at Inuyasha. Her face growing red with rage, “Inuyasha how could you do that to Shippo!! You went too far. What’s gotten into you Inuyasha. You could have killed him!” Inuyasha huffed, a glare firmly plastered on his face, “He’s fine.. He’s a demon after all.. It shouldn’t be that simple to kill him..” Miroku frowned, “Inuyasha, Shippo is only ten. He may be a demon but at his age it could seriously hurt him. Or worse, kill him.

Inuyasha huffed, “whatever… I’m leaving for a short time. Don’t bother following me.” With that said Inuyasha bolted, disappearing into the woods leaving Kagome puzzled. “Miroku what’s wrong with Inuyasha? He’s been acting strange, and he’s been running off a lot too.” Kagome’s eyes filled with tears that began to flow like rivers. Miroku quickly stood and gathered her into his arms in an attempt to comfort the sobbing girl. For once not groping or making a comment that would result in a slap or in his case a beating. Kagome’s head buried into Miroku’s shoulder as she cried, “Why is he becoming so violent? Why is he changing so much? I don’t even know this Inuyasha anymore.” Sango came walking back into camp, her hair damp from a bath. Frowning slightly, Sango walked over picking up the now quiet Shippo, “What happened now?” Miroku sighed, still rubbing Kagome’s trembling back, “It’s Inuyasha again. I’m afraid he’s gotten worse. He risked young Shippo’s life this time.” Sango looked at them with shock. “What’s gotten into him,” her voice was soft and sad. Her eyes held worry as she peered at Kagome knowing how deeply her sister cared for him. (End of Flash Back)

“Quit Slacking and hurry up,” Hiei stated as he grabbed her wrist and began to drag her along faster. Hiei soon stopped, his eyes narrowing as he looked around. Kagome’s muscles tensed up as she sensed a powerful demonic energy coming at them at high speed. She couldn’t sense exactly the energy… It was being blocked too well. Hiei suddenly flung her behind him as a demon drifted into view. Kagome couldn’t see what the demon looked like, for Hiei stood in her view. Then a voice from the past drifted to her ears. It sounded like that of a smooth flowing river, but a river that held a warning of danger if crossed wrong. “I suggest you leave the Miko were she is and be gone from my presence.” Hiei smirked, “Oh and are you going to try and make me if I don’t?” The demons eyes narrowed as he moved his feat slightly to get into a fighting stance, his very presence alone demanded respect. A respect that even Hiei had to give him.

Just as Hiei drew his katana, Kagome bolted past him, launching herself at the demon before all of it could fully process through his mind. Kagome felt the familiar fabric of a friend that she had thought to be gone, “Sesshoumaru-sama your alive!” An arm could be felt going around her back as his voice, which she had missed so much, “What makes you think that I would not live out those pathetic, weak fools? We will discuss this later for now though.” Sesshoumaru gently removed Kagome and was about to attack Hiei when Kagome stopped him, “It’s ok he’s on my side. He rescued me from another demon Sesshoumaru.” Hiei walked over frowning, seeing that the they obviously knew each other but still not letting is guard down, which meant that Koenma was hiding more than what he told them about the Miko. Sesshoumaru looked at Hiei with narrowed eyes, “I thank you for your assistance, but you are now no longer needed. So leave now and I will let you go after traveling on my lands instead of killing you.”

Hiei glared, his voice was calm but held force, “I have a job to do!” Sesshoumaru straightened up, his eyes narrowed, “What is this job you are referring too?” Hiei smirked, “That is of no concern to you.” Sesshoumaru growled, the woods going silent as it began to turn from night to day, “Oh no,” Kagome’s voice drawing everyone’s attention to her. “I have to get home. Souta is probably worried sick about me!” A sigh could be heard as both me watched the now frantic Miko. “Onna lets go,” Hiei began to walk towards her but stopped as he heard a silent warning growl come from the Demon Lord. “You guys quit fighting I need to get home. Not to mention I don’t know where the hell I am,” Kagome’s face was starting to get red. A sure sign that she was angry.

Suddenly the bushes rustled and out popped Sesshoumaru’s retainer, “Jaken its you.. Don’t scare me like that,” came Kagome’s startled voice. “I thought you would be dead by now, I’m glad your still alive.” “There you are I have been looking for you. Of course I’m still alive, I’m Lord Sesshoumaru’s retainer why wouldn’t I be. Come along we must go find Lord Sesshoumaru.” “Jaken I’m right behind you,” came Sesshoumaru’s voice, scaring the poor old retainer, making him clutch his heart as he tried to slow his heart down. “Jaken we are leaving. When we return prepare two rooms.” Before Jaken could answer Hiei’s annoyed voice drew Sesshoumaru’s attention with a glare, “There will be no need for that. We are not coming along. I will be returning her home were she belongs.” Seeing this as an insult, Sesshoumaru growled preparing to get into a battle stance, when Kagome suddenly put a hand on his arm. “Please Sesshoumru, I have to get back to my brother. I promise to come back another time under better circumstances,” Kagome’s voice was pleading.

Darkness fell as Kagome and Hiei traveled on. It had been two hours since Sesshoumaru pointed them in the direction they would need to go to be able to reach the area Koenma was allowed to open portals. Eventually they had to stop and make camp. Hiei sighed as a notable, “Hnnn,” escaped him as he notice Kagome was hungry. Though she tried hard to hide it, she was pretty hungry. She hadn’t eaten all day long. Knowing Koenma would badger him if he let her starve, he set off to go hunting, telling her to stay put. Kagome started a fire as she waited for Hiei to return, a small smile swept across her face as the familiar sounds of the woods echoed around her. Letting her eyes close, she listened, wanting to hold on to that feeling that she has missed for so long.

Startled out of her thoughts, Kagome’s eyes snapped open only to find Hiei standing in front of her impatiently holding a dead rabbit. If it wasn’t for the feudal era Kagome wouldn’t know how to cook it, let alone get herself to eat it. Lucky for her he had already skinned it for her. Hiei was slightly surprised that she knew how to cook it and decided that was another thing to add on the list of things that went with what Koenma didn’t tell them. Soon after Kagome fell asleep, Hiei not to far away from her. He glared at her angerely. It wasn’t for the fact that she was human or that he had to baby-sit her. But for the fact that his demon side was getting restless, and he didn’t know why. Sighing, Hiei opened his Jagon and closed his eyes so he too could get some sleep. His Jagon would warn him of any danger. The hooting of owls and the chirping of insects was the last thing he heard for the night.

Kagome woke to the birds chirping, a comfortable warmth surrounded her. Sighing, knowing the fire apparition named Hiei was probably impatiently waiting for her to get up. As she tried to get up she found herself being held down by an unknown force. Fear struck her and she opened her eyes but froze in shock when she saw what was holding her down. Hiei was now curled up behind her, his arm around her waist pressing her close to him. His face was buried deep within her hair, and the other arm which she just noticed was around her collar bone.

She didn’t know why or when he had snuggled up behind her, but what she did know was that he wasn’t going to be happy when he woke up. Kagome began to try and pull herself free. A smile crossed her face when it got to the point where all she had to do was one more tug. Suddenly her eyes widened and a gasp escaped her. A deep growl seemed to vibrate out of his chest and his grip tightened, blocking her escape. Though he was not hurting her, he might when he awoke. Kagome’s fear began to rise, her heart pounding like that of a rabbit who knew it was going to die. Hiei in his sleep, sensing her fear, relaxing his arms slightly. His growls turned into more of a growling purr. She could feel him nuzzling her spine in an attempt to calm her.

Not really knowing why, Kagome found her body relaxing. Again that silent melody seemed to echo out of no where. But for some reason it didn’t scare her, instead her body began to relax even more. Her eyes grew heavy, the sounds of morning fading away with the light of dawn. Breath slowing, the only thing that did not fade away was the deep comforting purr that came from Hiei. His warmth surrounding her as sleep took once again.

Hiei could hear that silent melody in his head again. He was beginning to really hate that sound, every time he heard that melody something happened that really pissed him off. From what his Jagon told him there was no danger. But for some reason he felt warm and really relaxed. Not too mention his demon side seemed to be unusually content. Moving his head slightly he could feel something soft rubbing his cheek. He was always up before the birds even woke, let alone chirping. An interesting smell drifted to his nose, it smelled like Sakura blossoms and fresh rain. This strange warmth… Where had he felt it before? Hiei sighed, and frowned. He decided he better get the baka up and catch up on lost time. Hiei opened his eyes, shock suddenly shot through him.
