InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Tears ❯ The Procedure ( Chapter 5 )

AN: Hey! I'm happy that everyone likes my fic so much. I would like to say that you will be finding out what happened to Kuwabara soon, maybe not in this chappy but pretty soon.

 

Also I just want to say that I am not a Koenma hater, though it may appear so in parts of my story, the only character that I really can't stand is Kikyou. I mean I feel her pain, but can't she just stay dead?

 

Now enough about me lets talk about the gang.

 

Disclaimer: "I do own InuYasha and YuYu Hakusho" (laughs diabolically) :F.B.I. busts in the front door and surrounds me with guns drawn.: "I'll never let them go" : AgentX runs out from a back room, "Sir shes got Hiei and Sesshomaru chained to a wall in the back." "Well get them out of here." "No! we won't leave Dark Miko, you can't make us." :F.B.I. tries to drag them away: "Thank God for Stockholm Syndrome." (MUhhahhahahhahah)

 

Just joking I don't own either InuYasha or YuYu Hakusho. (weeps softly)

THE PROCEDURE

 

 

 

As she exited through the portal and into the office of the diminitive ruler the first thing that crossed Kagomes' mind was that the little bastard hadn't changed at all in the past three months. There he was sitting behind his desk still sucking on that fucking ridiculus pacifier and still in that baby guise. The very sight of his smug smile was enough to make her want to puke. God how she loathed him.

 

"Koenmaaaaaaaaaaa," Kagome raged, the tight grip on her emotions starting to slip ever so slightly, "you have got some kind of fucking nerve to send your goddamn ferry girl and your detective team to my school, not to mention you forced me to hear that name again. Do you remember what I told you would happen if I ever heard that name again after what you told me three months ago?" She purred.

 

She stalked closer to Koenmas' desk as she spoke and took great satisfaction in seeing the great ruler of Spirit World gulp nervously. "Do you recall that I told you I would bring Spirit World to its knees if I ever heard that name again? And I never back down on a promise Koenma, as you are fully aware."

 

Backing away and raising her hands above her head Kagome began to glow a bright mixture of colors ranging from the bright pink of her miko powers to the flame red and ice blue of her elemental powers. As she looked back over her shoulder at the tiny ruler her smile was frankly dangerous. "Let us see where should we start first? Hmmmm. The record hall perhaps or the vault, no maybe this very room. Boton, since I have always liked you and since I don't know the people that are with you I will allow you to leave if or should I say when I decide to bring this building down around me. All of you that is except my little firefly." Kagome sent a pointed look at Hiei, "His life is mine."

 

"Well if Hiei stays then I am afraid that I will not be leaving either." Kurama stated in his always calm voice.

 

"If the fox ain't going then neither am I. After all Hiei always shows up and saves our asses when we most need him." This statement came from the ever blunt speaking Yusuke.

 

Softening ever so slightly Kagome turned her head and faced Boton, "I assume that you feel the same way?"

 

"Bingo." Boton stated in her cheery voice which sounded horribly out of place in this ever so seriouse situation.

 

'I was so hoping you guys would think like this.' Koenma thought.

 

"Just because they are here do not think that they will stop me from giving you the ass beating that you so rightfully deserve." Lowering her arms back down to her sides she smirked once again. "I guess I can let the building stand for the time being."

 

"Lady Kagome..." Koenma was cut short.

 

"Listen you little bastard when you address me you will do it standing not behind that annoying desk, and you will do it in your larger form. I have no desire to speak of this matter with a chid."

 

Sighing Koenma could only mutter, "As you wish." With a puff of blue smoke there stood before them a teenage version of Koenma, pacifier and all.

 

Koenma started again, "Milady, I had hoped that you would no longer be angry with me for what happened three months ago, but I can see that I was wrong."

 

"Quite wrong I assure you. How could anyone, even one such as me, forgive the one person that stands in the way of me gaining revenge on the one who slaughtered my family? When I came to you three months ago you told me that while you could not give me this Hiei's life, you would make sure that I never heard the name again, why may I ask have I not only heard the name but am now looking at the face of said person?"

 

"Hey toddler I thought you said that you hadn't seen her in over a year." Yusuke grumbled clearly pissed with being lied to.

 

"Wrong again Yusuke, I said that she had not reported to me in over a year. I never said that I had not seen her." Koenma stated smugly.

 

"Now Kagome I know that you believe Hiei killed your family but I am telling you that there is no way. At the time of your family's death Hiei was on assignment trying to stop the opening of a tunnel into demon world. There is no possible way that he could have done it."

 

"I think that you underestimate the members of your little team Koenma. They are each fully capable to cover great distances in short periods of time. Undersetimating has always been your weak point, you do know that don't you?"

 

"Hiei did you really kill her family? And please my friend do not lie for I fear that our very lives maybe at stake." Kurama cautiously questioned his friend.

 

"There is no maybe to it fox. This onna could and would take you all down just for the chance to try and kill me. As if she would succed." Hiei smirked.

 

"Don't doubt my power Hiei. Even if you doubt everything else, never doubt the fact that I can and will kill you if I get the chance."

 

"Hn."

 

"Hiei please answer me seriously. Did you kill Miss Kagome's family." Kurama persisted.

 

"Possibly. I can't really say. I've killed so many I can't keep track." was the cocky answer.

 

"Koenma, a picture on your little screen to jumpstart shortys' memory." Kagome ordered.

 

"At once."

 

There before them on the same screen that Koenma had once used to watch his detective team battle the Four Saint Beasts was a picture. An old man held an ofuda, a middle age woman grasped the hands of a young boy and a teenage girl in a sailor uniform.

 

What caputred Hiei's attention most was the happy expression on the face of the teenage girl. She was beautiful, and indeed looked happy unless one looked below the surface. In the girls eye's you could see sadness, deep sadness. She remined him of Yukina, happy and sweet on the outside yet sad and lonely on the inside.

 

Kagome stepped forward towards the screen, pointing to each figure in turn, "My grandfather, my mother, and my baby brother Souta. Now tell me Hiei do you remember these faces now? Do you recognize them?"

 

"The only face I recognize on that screen is yours."

 

Kagome was shocked. Most people did not make the connection between how she looked now and how she had looked then. Not that she had changed that much, but the pink strips in her hair and the new hardness in her eyes' was enough to fool most humans into thinking that they were two diffrent people.

 

"You lie."

 

"Lieing is beneath me."

 

"Milady there is one way to know the truth, if Hiei is willing to cooperate." Koenma spoke up timidly.

 

"Yes but I had hoped to save that for a last resource. I do not relish that procedure. But since I now have no other options we will have to use that. Trust me he will cooperate or I will destroy any and everything that he has ever held dear."

 

Kagome walked over to where Hiei stood and slowly began to circle him, giving the appearance of a sleak and dangerous jungle cat. Tapping her index finger on her lower lip she began to speculate out loud, "Who would be close enough to you that you would mourn their death. Hmmm. Mother or Father perhap?" Hiei remained emotionless. "No I think not. The fox maybe, no not him either. You would mourn him and probably the detective too but not the point that I will mourn Souta. Lover? No no lover either I'd bet. Brother perhaps or maybe a sister?" Hieis' eyes flashed. "I see I have struck a nerve."

 

"If you touch one hair on Yukina's head I will kill you slowly."

 

"So you say. Koenma I want this Yukina brought to me now. If he does not follow my instructions then the girls life is mine."

 

"Of course milady. Boton you know what to do."

 

"Now while we wait I have something I would like to ask you." Kagome turned to face Kurama. "Fox your name is Kurama I believe." She waited for Kurama to nod that she was correct before continuing. "I would like to speak to you if you would be so kind as to join me outside." Turning Kagome waited for the avatar to follow her outside the doors of Koenmas office before shutting them behind her. "Now it is really your other side that I would like to converse with if you will please wake him up."

 

Kurama nodded to the strange young woman that stood before him. Turning his focus inside of himself he found that Yoko was indeed asleep and by the looks of it was in the middle of a vivid dream. <"Yoko wake up, someone wishes to speak with you."> The kitsune was instantly awake and aware. Turning back to Kagome he signaled to her that his mental demon was aware.

 

"Its been a long time Yoko."

 

The sound of that voice was enough to make the kitsunes ears perk up. <"Kurama let me out."> The red head could practicaly taste the eagerness the master thiefs voice held. Sighing Kurama turned to Kagome, "I assume it will be alright if I allow Yoko to make a brief appearance?" When Kagome nodded her assent Kurama let the change overtake him. Kagome watched as the stunning redhead undertook a drastic series of changes.

 

First his red hair lengthened until it swirled down past his buttocks, then the color changed to that of silver. Not just any silver, but the silver that one would expect the very stars to be carved from. Next his human ears dissapeared and were replaced with soft silver kitsune ears that grew from the top of his head. His facial features sharpened and changed from the seductivness of a truely beautiful human male, to that of the unreal seductivness of a creature that was only supposed to exist in the deepest fantisies of the women of all three worlds. He grew taller and his eyes changed from the forest green that all had become accustomed to, to a piercing amber that reminded Kagome ever so breifly of InuYasha.

 

But were InuYasha's eyes had held pain and anger, sometimes love, and even towards the end, hatred for Kagome, the now amber eyes of Yoko held only respect and friendship with a undertone of suprise. If one looked closely and peered into the depths of these eyes they would see what made Yoko, Yoko. They would see the hints of ruthlessness that made the kitsune one of the most feared apparitions in the Makai, they would notice the traces of love that were aimed at the miko, and you would notice the most imporant thing about Yoko. A person would see the less subtle veins of mischief and his love of puzzles and mysterys. Needless to say Yokos kitsune nature shone through in any form he chose to take. The last thing about him that changed was his clothes. The pinkish school uniform that Kurama wore became a pair of silver flowing pants and a lose silver tunic top that was cut to emphazise the width and strength of the kitsunes chest. (six pack anyone) Needless to say Yoko Kurama was a sight to behold.

 

Stepping forward and wrapping the kitsune in a hug, the young miko showered the love hungry youkai with some much needed physical attention. Kagome was fully aware that kitsunes were a race that thrived on physical contact of any kind and without periodical expressions of affection a kitsune would go insaine with grief. The only reason Shippou had survived after the death of his father was that he had found Kagome soon after and she was not averse to showering the kit with as much affection as was needed. Stooping over due to the fact that the woman he held was only a bit taller than Hiei, Yoko breathed in her aroma. "You haven't changed at all in all these years." he stated with awe. "How is this possible? I haven't seen you in decades."

 

"There are many things about me and my past that even you don't know Yoko."

 

"Not for lack of trying on my part, I assure you."

 

Grasping Kagomes shoulders in his palms he gentely moved her away from him. "Now tell me how is everyone? Are your other companions still alive like you?"

 

"Sadly Yoko my friend, it's just me and Shippou. The others...didn't make it."

 

"I am sorry, truely I am. But tell me how fairs your kit? I am assuming that you adopted him since his sent now lingers with your own."

 

"Hai. Shippou fairs well, or as well as can be expected. I am afraid that I don't have time for the whole tale right now but I promise to see you later. Please inform your other half of our history so that he will not be totaly confused when I come for you."

 

"Kagome you don't know where we live, how could you possibly come for us. No we will come to you."

 

"Yoko, Yoko, Yoko. All ways underestimating me. As I said before many things have changed in my life and my abilities. Trust me I can and will find you when the time is right. I fear that since Boton is about to arrive I am unable to continue this conversation so please let Kurama out again we would not like to cause any unnessicary confusion about as to why you are in your natural form should any of the others come out here."

 

Kagome waited until the kitsune had completed his transformation back into his red headed self before turning and reentering Koenmas office where Boton had just appeared, a girl who was apparently the Yukina Hiei had spoken of standing off to her side.

 

While the two siblings did not share many outward similarities Kagome could instantly tell that the two were related. It was the eyes she supposed. Both beings possessed the same almond shaped peircing crimson eyes. When one looked into Hiei's eyes they felt as if he was peering into their very souls while revealing nothing of his own. When one looked into the eyes Yukina they could practically see the innocence and purity that the girl possessed. But if you looked close enough you could see the true factor that showed the two were related, that inner strength that both possessed. Hiei was strong there is no doubt about that, but this strength went beyond the physical and dived straight into the emotional and mental strength of the person.

 

Yukina turned to Koenma and asked in that sweet tone that only she possessed, "Koenma-sama you asked to see me, what is it that you require?"

 

"Yes Yukina I did ask that you be brought here. Now there is someone I want you to meet, Yukina this is Lady Kagome Higurashi, Lady Kagome this is Yukina."

 

Yukina bowed before walking to Kagome and after studying her for a moment before she began timidly speaking so low that even Kagome had trouble hearing her, "Though I know it is impossible I would like to ask you a question. Are you by any chance the same Lady Kagome that guards the Shikon no Tama?"

 

"Why yes that is I. Why do you ask?"

 

"I take it that you do not remember me. It was foolish to assume that you would remember an event that took place so long ago, why I was only a child."

 

"It is not foolish but please remind me so that maybe I will remember."

 

"It was a long time ago and you and an Inu hanyou had ventured onto Koorime Isle in search of the Shikon shards I believe. I was just a child as I said but you saved me from a pack of snow youkai with one of your arrows."

 

Kagome began to have flashes of a memory that she had buried, along with many others dealing with the past. A child with blue-green hair and pretty red eyes crying for help in the snow. "Yes I do remember you know. My how you have grown, I am happy to have the chance to see that the child I saved so long ago recieved the opportunity to live to grow into a beautiful young woman."

 

Yukina blushed at the compliment while Hiei stood stunned. This young onna had actually saved his little sister when she was a child! That was decades ago, just how old was this woman? He was also not pleased to learn that he owed the life of his sister to this woman. She had saved Yukina before Hiei himself had even been around.

 

He loathed being indebted to anyone, especially where it concerned his sister.

 

As Kagome talked with Yukina briefly about how things in her life had been going, she used the time to peer into the girls mind and scan her memories. After a moment she realized that while Yukina was aware of the fact that she had a brother, she was unaware of the fact that Hiei was him. Kagome was puzzeled as to why Hiei would not tell his sister that the brother she so longed for was in truth right in front of her. It just seemed wrong to her. After giving the situation some thought, she decided to use it to her advantage.

 

"Yukina I have much that I wish to discuss with you but I am afraid that it will have to wait. I have a much more pressing matter to deal with at the time and I am afraid that your friend Hiei must accompany me. I do however, offer you an open invitation to visit me at my shrine. Just come see me whenever you have the urge or need to, no matter the day or time. You will normally find me there, and if I am not at home feel free to wait for as long as you like." Turning to Boton, Kagome asked the bubbly diety of death to open a portal to her shrine. When Boton fulfilled her request she motioned for Hiei to follow her.

 

"Coming firefly, or am I going to have to......?" She let her question trail off at the end, knowing that he would understand her true message: 'Follow me or take the risk of your sisters life being placed forever in my hands.'

 

"Hn." That was the only reply that she recieved, but it was noted that Hiei fell into step with her quite quickly.

 

Kurama and Yusuke both stepped forward as if to follow them into the portal, but their idea was quickly shot down by Hiei.

 

"We do this alone or we don't do this at all." Turning he disappeared into the portal leaving the office in an uproar.

 

As Yusuke continued to yell questions at Koenm after the two had disappeared, the tiny ruler could only hope that the miko and the apparition would be able to overcome their diffrences and be able to get along without killing each other. A lot would depend on them in the future, and they needed to unite if they wanted to survive.

 

 

HIGURASHI SHRINE: WITH HIEI AND KAGOME

 

 

As they stepped out of the portal the first thing that Hiei noticed was the tree. Tall and stately, the tree was massive with sprawling branches and gently swaying leaves. At first sight anyone with spiritual awareness would be able to tell that this tree was not ordinary. It seemed to radiate calm and well being, while the swaying of the branches and trees seemed to form a melody that sang of peace and safety. The tree called out to him reassuring and almost fatherly in its attempt to put Hiei at easy and assure him that within its branches he would always be safe.

 

'Safe.' Hiei mused. There was no such thing as true safety, he had learned that lesson long ago. No, in his world it truely was kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, and Hiei would be damned if he was going to end up as someone elses lunch. In his world you were only safe if you could kill any and everything that would ever want to come after you until there was nothing left. He was close to being safe from most things, but he was no fool. Hiei knew that there were youkai out there that not even he wanted to fuck with yet, but the time was coming when he would not have to worry about being defeated in battle.

 

Kagome, realizing that Hiei was no longer following her, turned and spotted him standing in front of the sacred tree with a look of peace on his face. She recognized that look as the same one she had caught herself wearing time to time when being in the mere presence of the tree.

 

Walking to his side she stood there for a moment before she spoke. "This is the Goshinboku or sacred tree. It is a holy and powerful spirit of the old world that has guarded this land even before my family's shrine was built here. I have always gained a sense of peace while stnading under this tree, especially since...." She broke off abruptly when she realized what she was about to say, 'since I lost them.'

 

Shaking her head at herself, she was angry that she had started to open up to him of all people, the bastard that killed her Souta. Turning she once again began to walk back up to her house, motioning for him to follow.

 

Even though he hated to admit it Hiei was extremely curious as to what the onna had been about to say before she seemed to catch herself. He then procceded to become pissed off at himself for even caring what a simple ningen onna thought or said. But he couldn't help but wonder what had put that brief flash of sorrow in her eyes that had stayed for but a moment, when it was suddenly covered by the emotionless mask that reminded him of the one that he had worn for so long.

 

Turning he followed her up to the house and waited impatiently at the front door. When they stepped into the house the first thing that Hiei noticed was the smell. Instead of the normal smell that occupied the homes of other ningen, this house was suprisingly lacking in the stench of sweat, dirt, and decay that came with the constantly dieing cells of the ningen body. Instead there was a heavy covering of the smell of honey and fire that Hiei recognized as the onna sweet aroma. Then as he inhailed he caught the scent of something strange and yet familiar. Startled he inhailed deeply but the scent would not leave. There was the smell of roses, it was achingly familiar. The scent reminded him of Kurama and his smell that he gave off. There however was a major diffrence just below the surface. Along with the honey and fire smells, he sented a hint of pine also mixed within the sent. There was no mistaking it, there was a kitsune living in this house. A male kitsune.

 

He was enraged and yet he didn't know why.

 

The mere thought that someone had claimed this onna was driving him insaine. Hiei could practically feel his youki fighting to get out and he knew that if he looked in the mirror he would see his already crimson eyes starting to bleed completely red.

 

This to say the least, was not good.

 

One of the worse points of being a forbidden child was that your body was at constant war with itself, each of the opposing elements that made up Hiei were constantly trying to destroy each other. He knew that unless he got his blood back under control bad things were going to happen. Stepping further into the house Hiei knew that he had to do somehting to get his mind off of the current situation. With that thought in mind he inhaled deeply once again and was once again bombarded by the smell of kitsune. Before his blood could go haywire he quickly broke down and analyzed the scent, searching through it to discover every secret it could give him.

 

The smell told him that the kitsune was in fact a kit, young not more than ten or eleven winters old, a mere babe in youkai standards. The onna's scent was mixed completely with the kit's own there was no denying that, and yet it seemed to be in a mother-son way. Hiei was baffled. Now that he had broken down the smells of the home the purity of the onna was so obviouse that he was suprised it had not knocked him on his ass at the school. There was no way the bitch could have any children, hell he was willing to bet that she had never been touched by a man before more or less given birth. Purity practically radiated off of her in waves, it was glaringly obvious that she was a virgin. The smell of her pureness was enough to make his youkai go insaine in desire. It roared and wanted to claim her. It wanted nothing more than to taint her scent with their own, to posses her and make her theirs own. It would not get its way. Hiei refused to mate a ningen, especially one that wanted his life. He had no desire to watch for a knife in his back courtesy of his mate if he even took one.

 

To make matters worse the Dragon and the Jagan were both intrested in her too. That disturbed him greatly. He hated, no hated wasn't even a strong enough word, he loathed all of the emotions that he had been forced to experince since he had join the Detective and his team. Since he had met Yusuke and Kuwabara he wasn't sure that he hated all ningen anymore, even though he had honestly hated Kuwabara in the begining, and he had only calmed down to extremely dislike towards the end.

 

Shaking his head he decided the best way to calm himself would be to distract himself completely from the smells and focus on something else. Turning he growled at Kagome, "Onna what is this procedure?"

 

"You'll find out when we get to my room."

 

'Her room?' Hiei thought, 'Why would this onna take me to her room for this procedure?'

 

<"Since my room is closer to the Goshinboku, the calming energies from the tree will reach into the house and will help the procedure to run much smoother.">

 

Hiei was pissed. He had not realized that he had dropped his barriers low enough that a mere ningen was able to invade his thoughts.

 

<"You did not drop them that low. I am not and will never be again a normal ningen. I far surpass any power any human could ever hope to achieve.">

 

<"Bitch get the fuck out of my head!!">

 

Kagome turned slightly to look at Hiei from over her shoulder, her glance cold enough to freeze a lava pit straight from the seventh layer of Hell. "If you do not desire a quick and not so painless death on this night, I suggest that you never call me 'Bitch" again. I have a name and it's Kagome. KA-GO-ME. You will use it or you address me at all."

 

'How dare she speak to me that way!?! That bitch will pay! After this is over and done with I will slit her open from navel to nose!'

 

Glancing back once again Kagome smirked at the enraged fire apparition and said only two words, "Try it." With that she walked further into the house and up the stairs opening the door to where Hiei assumed her room was. Stepping inside she motioned for Hiei to follow, which he reluctantly did.

 

The first thing that Hiei noticed when he stepped into the room was once again the smell. Had he thought the downstairs rooms smelled of her? This room was saturated with her scent and that of the kitsune. When he managd to rip his mind away from how she smelled he niticed that she was sitting on the edge of her bed and was motioning for him to join her.

 

"This technique is called the Spirit Scan, it is a procedure that I developed along with one of my former sensei. This will allow me to enter into your mind and you into mine, and we will be able to walk freely through the others mind without causing harm. While in my mind you will have a corpreal form and you will appear there as you are now, as I will appear in yours. You may also meet certain....beings while in my mind so I suggest you keep your hands off that katanna. If you attack in my mind you will be purified from the inside out starting with your very soul. That I must warn you is not a pleasent experience to have."

 

"Why do you hate this technique si much, it seems to be formidable?" In fact this technique reminded him greatly of the Spirit Wave that he had witnessed Genkai use in the Dark Tournament a few years back.

 

"This technique can be used as an attack, but when it is used in this form there will be a unbreakable connection formed between the parties. And when I say unbreakable, I mean unbreakable, the bond cannot be destroyed except maybe in death, and even then the two would probably meet again in th enext life in some way."

 

Hiei didn't like this statement either. Come to think of it there were a lot of things that Hiei had started to hate more than normal today. The thought that he, Hiei, would be forever connected to some ningen bitch was utterly...repulsive. But at thispoint he really didn't have much of a choice, now did he?

 

"Fine. Let us do this so that I may be free of your anoying presence."

 

"Likewise I assure you. Now lay down on the bed."

 

"Why?"

 

"This will require an act of submission from both parties, and since we are of the opposite sex it will have to be in a fashion that possible mates would take. In other words, this will involve touching on my part and on yours."

 

Hiei relunctantly laid back and prepared to allow this onna to molest his person all the while trying to ignore the voice in the back of his head that said that it wasn't that bad of an idea. Kagome's mind was occupied with similar thoughts, but hers mainly focused on the width of his shoulders and his smooth tanned skin. She immediately slapped herself (mentally) for lusting after the cold-blooded monster that had massacred her family. Shaking her head and ridding her mind of her betraying thoughts, she pulled herself up onto her knees and straddled Hiei's hard yet comfy stomach.

 

Leaning forward she gently placed her mouth on the underside of his jaw and nipped his skin. Opening her mouth Kagome started to suck lightly on his exposed skin knowing that she would leave a faint mark but that it was neccesary for the procedure to advance properly. After about a minute of this Kagome realized that sucking on his neck was not really neccessary any longer considering he would probably have a very large hicky at the end of the day already. She sat up and rached back grabbing her long hair and pulling it to the side, she exposed her neck to the waiting youkai and waited for him to return the favor. She then placed her right hand palm down directly over his heart and Hiei could feel the energy that circulated right below the skin.

 

"You try anything and I will purify your ass out of existance."

 

"Hn. As if I would stoop so low."

 

Hiei could not believe how much he had enjoyed the onna sucking on his skin, his neck even. The most vital point of his body that noone was ever allowed to touch and he had allowed a ningen onna to place her mouth on it. Not only that he had enjoyed it even! What in the Fuck was wrong with him!?! he couldn't help imagine then in another situation with her lips on his body, such as her naked and withering underneath him moaning, no screaming his name. Roughly he shook those thoughts into the back of his mind with the reminder that she was a dirty ningen no matter how wonderful she smelled. He was not above using this situation to gain a little revenge. He would make her extremely uncomfortable and even though she was currently on top he would show her who the domanite one in this relationship would be, not that they had a relationship in the first place.

 

Reaching up he wrapped his fist in her knee-length hair and pulled her down to him, not gently and yet not roughly either. He jerkered her head to one side and leanign up on one elbow he placed his mouth on the juncture of where her shoulder and neck met. The place he would have left his mark, his brand if he was so inclined. Doing the same as Kagome had done he sucked on her skin but added an even harsher nip to her neck. He knew without a doubt that she would bare a mark much larger than the one she had given him. As he kissed her neck the fight to keep the Jagan from controling him and the Dragon from making an appearance became increasingly hard. Both were trying to force him to mark her and that was something that he would not do. Even with those thoughts he could not resist a better taste before he pulled away. Opening his mouth even more he flicked out his tounge and ran it along the length of her jaw line before he withdrew and layed back down on the bed.

 

Kagome had a hard time with-holding her moans as the fire apparition ran his tounge along her skin. She had never felt anything like the sensations that ran through her when Hiei touched her skin. Not even the times that InuYasha had held her in the past had she felt anything like this. She could not even describe the situation accurately, the closest she could come to the feeling was the time that she had caught a cold while in the Fuedal Era and InuYasha had made his medicine for her. It was like a fever that raged out of control and was trying to consume her whole, but she refused to allow it to take her down.

 

Bracing herself she prepared to begin the procedure that she had never really wanted to perform on another. She focused her energy on the task at hand, and prayed that this would go as planned. She knew that even with all of her immpressive strength and energy that the Spirit Scan would leave her drained and vulnerable. Her sensei that had helped her to perfect this technique had often warned her that to be truely strong she had to know her on limitations, and she had taken those words to heart. Long ago after she had completed her training with Midoriko, the ancient miko had told her that she needed to find a sensei in her own time that could teach her the things she could not. Kagome had later found a pshycic of the old world who was willing to teach her how to harvest her spirit energy and help her to use it. Together they had created this technique that utilized everything that was miko and pure of heart.

 

She gathered her energy and with one last prayer to the Kami, she focused all that she had and threw herself forcefully into the abyss that was Hiei's mind, and at the same time drew him into her own.

 

The last thing that Hiei saw before his eyes lost focus was Kagome surrounded in a glowing aura of bright pink light and the shape of her body as she fell forwrd and collapsed across his chest. His last thought was how much he really enjoyed having her body this close to him.
