Chapter 8

 

Kagome walked beside her sister contemplating what had just happened. She'd never seen Suichi show interest in any woman much less coming on as strongly as that. `I wonder if he recognized her as a vixen? That might explain it.' The grumbling from Selena pulled her from her thoughts and made her smile.

 

“What are you smiling at Kagome?”

 

“Nothing it's just I haven't seen you this agitated since Youko Kurama.”

 

“Please don't remind me. I finally get him off my back, granted it's because he's dead, only to have another one replace him.”

 

Kagome chuckled, “I don't think you'll have an easy time getting rid of him either. I've never seen him with that look in his eyes and I'll bet he'll be trying to find you.”

 

“Don't tell him anything. I don't want another arrogant male pursing me. Besides I only brought a few specialized plants and one should be very happy soon,” she grinned.

 

“Oh no. What did you leave for Inuyasha, Selena.”

 

A hand covered her mouth to keep the giggles in, but it didn't work. “Come on. I promise you'll love it.” They both took off at a fast paced walk back to the house.

 

Both women could hear the growls and curses of a certain hanyou and picked up their speed. Walking into the kitchen Kagome found her mate trying to dislodge himself from a small vine with a red rose. They watched as he removed it only to have it reattached itself once more. Neither woman could stop the laughter that came and had them both gasping for breath.

 

Inuyasha growled at them as he pointed an accusing finger at Selena. “Get this damn weed off of me Selena.”

 

“It's not a weed Inuyasha.” After growling softly the rose extended itself to her immediately wrapping around her hand She growled a minute more to the rose before it turned from red to a beautiful silver with deep blue tips. “This is my newest creation.”

 

“Still looks like a weed to me.”

 

“Maybe to you, but I designed it specifically for protection.” The rose tilted to the side as if curious about something before Selena handed it to Kagome. “It will stay close to Kagome and protect her. If she's in danger it can release a sleeping gas that will knock everyone but her unconscious or it can also eject poisonous darts at the attacker.” She turned to see the rose weaving itself around her forearm and melting into her skin making it look like a tattoo.

 

“What the hell.” He was touching where the rose settled into Kagome's skin and could still feel the softness of the petals.

 

“Inuyasha, it's what I call a chameleon rose. It appears to others as a tattoo, but if the bearer is in danger it reacts and comes alive. Kagome can remove it anytime she wishes and can even wear it on her body out of the melding state. If the wearer is not paying attention it will warn them that danger is near.”

 

He looked at her in shock. “I'll be damned. You finally designed something useful that doesn't try and eat me.”

 

That earned him a threatening growl that would make anyone else back away in fear. “I'll have you know I designed and gave everyone of your and Sesshomaru's pups one to keep them safe as well as Rin. I refuse to let anyone hurt those I consider family. Kagome I also brought three more for your family.”

 

“Thank you Selena. I can't tell you how much this means to me,” she said and gave her a hug.

 

“Your welcome Kagome. I spoke to Nara and she's preparing for your families arrival.”

 

“Thank you Selena for the protection you gave to our pups. Even if you are a pain in the ass sometimes we still consider you family as well,” said Inuyasha.

 

“Ya know Inuyasha I do believe that is the nicest thing you have ever said to me.”

 

“Feh, don't get used to it,” he said as his arms crossed in front of his chest looking irritated.

 

Selena just smiled as she hugged him and gave him a small peck on the cheek. “I love you too little brother even if you won't admit it,” she whispered hugging him tightly. She was surprised when he returned it.

 

Suichi Minnamino sat in his room looking out his window at the full moon. His thoughts were filled with visions of the beautiful vixen he had met today and wanted to know more about her. `Youko how do you know Selena?'

 

*”While hunting I kept picking up the enticing scent of lavender and rain, but could never catch the owner. Then finally I caught her, or so I thought, she was the most beautiful vixen I had ever see.” He showed his counter part all of his memories of her making him renew his vow of finding her.

 

`I see why you want her. She's not only very beautiful, but powerful and cunning as well.'

 

*”She's the only woman to ever escape or match me in power. It doesn't matter if she realizes it or not she's mine and when I get my hands on her she'll know it.”

 

`You are still sharing my body Youko don't you think I should have a say in this decision.'

 

*”I felt your lust for her red so don't pretend with me.” He sent several mental images of Selena in different sexual positions making him groan. “You want her as much as I do.”

 

`I would prefer to know her before we take her as a lover.'

 

*”I won't wait long. You should talk to Kagome and find out where she lives and then we can find Selena.”

 

`Yes, but there's something else that's bothering me it was obvious that she felt Selena's power when she called her name and by introducing her as sister then she must know about demons.'

 

*”Yes that would be logical and if she is aware of demons then how did she become so.”

 

`Exactly, I believe our little friend has a few secrets of her own.'

 

*”I would like to know how she came to know Selena.”

 

`Many questions indeed and I'm sure that Yusuke noticed as well.'

 

They continued their musings privately for a while longer before falling into a light sleep. The next morning Suichi made his way onto campus looking for Kagome. He found her sitting comfortably under a sakura tree looking over her notes while making a few others. “Good morning, Kagome.”

 

She felt his aura searching for her and prepared herself for his oncoming questions. When she heard his greeting she looked up to see determination in his eyes and silently groaned. “Good morning Suichi.”

 

He sat beside her looking at the sky. “Are you ready for the upcoming test?”

 

Kagome sighed before looking at him. “Why don't we just get to the point Suichi. What do you want to know about my sister?”

 

He was shocked at her bluntness while Youko was starting to demand answers. It would have shown on his face if he had been any other demon. “Why do you think I'm here to ask about Selena?”

 

“Don't play game with me Suichi. The look in your eyes said everything yesterday and the fact that you looked like you were about to devour her was more than obvious. I'm not blind Suichi and neither is she.” She watched as gold started to leak into his eyes and when he spoke again his voice was deeper and more seductive than ever sending a chill down her spine.

 

“I won't deny that I am very attracted to her Kagome and that I would like to get to know her better. Will you allow me to meet her again?”

 

“She doesn't want to see you again Suichi. I'm sorry, but I won't go aginst her request.”

 

“Will you tell her that I would like to have dinner with her?”

“I will.”

 

A dark figure appeared in the trees and watched as Kagome walked away. “Why the sudden interest in an onna fox?”

 

*”It's not just any woman Hiei. Selena is a vixen and a powerful one at that,” answered Youko.

 

Hiei stared at his partner, “a vixen. There are any in makai to occupy you time with.”

 

*”That may be Hiei, but this one is worth it. I need to know where Kagome lives so that I can find her.” Eyes of gold stared into eyes of crimson. “I may need your help tracking her.”

 

“Hn.”

 

`Damn it I knew I should've just stayed home today. That fox is planning something with the other demon in the trees I know it.' Although she knew that Selena didn't want a male pursuing her she also knew that at times she was lonely. `Even if she won't admit it she enjoyed driving Youko crazy,' she thought with a grin. The rest of her classes went by slowly until her last class that she shared with a certain red head. He greeted her as usual, but said nothing else.

 

*”Follow her red,” said Youko when class ended.

 

`Don't you think we should give her time to consider our request.'?

 

*”No, I want to know where she is now.”

 

`Alright if we find her will you be satisfied?'

 

*”For the time being.” He followed her at a slow pace hoping she wouldn't notice him. Unfortunately for him his admires were waiting and kept him from following her. *”Hiei follow her. I need to know where she lives.” A moment later he felt the fire apparition disappear and smirked. They were both telepathic and had a strong mental bond that reached several miles.

 

What neither demon realized was that Kagome was perfectly aware of what was going on. She had decided that she was tired of seeing her sister lonely and if anything maybe a new friend would come from this if nothing else. `She's gonna kill me for this. But she needs someone in her life even if she doesn't want to admit it.' After opening the gate she turned to where she knew they were watching before going inside and locking the gate.

 

“She knew we were following fox even with our auras concealed. How is that?”

 

“I don't know, but I believe we will find out very soon.” He watched the grounds a little longer making sure no one was around before slipping inside. In the back of the grounds stood a large cottage with well-kept gardens. `That must be where she is staying.”

 

*”We will wait for her red. I want to make sure that she's here.”

 

`We'll give her time to get back and return later. We don't want her to sense us just yet.' They left to plan for their confrontation with the stubborn vixen. They would try to convince her first and if that didn't work they'd have to think of something a little more drastic. Neither one was willing to let the only female that had ever caught their attention just dismiss them. She wouldn't get rid of them easily and it was time to show her that.
