“Me? You want me to be a spirit officer thing?! But I-”

“ You don’t have to make the decision now Kagome”, Yusuke clarified “ We wanted to let you know first of all and get the offer out there. We know all about you Kagome, not including what you told me today.”

Kagome just stood there wide-eyed as she tried to take this new information in. ‘Just who are these group of people? How much is everything? Do the know about the Shikon, are they after the Jewel?’ These questions all swarmed to the forefront of her mind and once again since first meeting Yusuke Urameshi Kagome was wary. Her mind still buzzed with all these unanswered questions and Kagome realized suddenly that she was standing here, in a strangers house surrounded by the strangers friends, more strangers, and they were all powerful strangers at that. She also took into consideration that she had no weapons to defend herself with if this became a hostile situation and then she smirked ‘As if I need weapons to do damage…’

Hiei had been watching the woman across the room from him ever since she had held his stare with her stormy blue eyes ‘Dammit, snap out of it !’ he thought viciously to himself. It simply wouldn’t do to loose his cool over one person especially an onna even smaller than he was. Granted, she was attractive, very attractive, but an onna none the less and this was simply business and it wouldn’t do to get even more involved with work than strictly necessary. But as the words escaped her mouth and Yusuke hastened to reassure her that a decidion didn’t need to made right this second Hiei watched her tense up as her aura changed from slight confusion to suspicious with every word that left the baka detective’s mouth. Still, whilst he felt her aura shifting rapidly never once did he detect fear. Hiei felt confused as Kagome suddenly smirked whilst radiating smugness from her every pore and he was for lack of a better word, mesmerised. This tiny woman didn’t feel intimidated by their presence? They hadn’t even bothered to mask themselves and surely she could feel the raw power they gave off? And he felt a fleeting admiration of this defiant little onna, maybe things will be different around here.

‘What an intriguing woman’ Youko whispered in Kuramas’ mind and he couldn’t help but agree with the spirit fox residing within him. Kagome Higurashi was a puzzle and one he was determined to figure out.

He watched as Kagome questioned Yusuke some more on the role of being a spirit detective and just exactly what she would be expected to do. He could smell the suspicion from Kagome and he too realized that the wrong answer could loose them even the chance to know this woman and he felt the need to try and straighten things out before Yusuke ruined nearly half a year’s worth of hard work with a few clumsily put together words.

“Kagome , I will answer all the question’s that you have to ask rather than Yusuke here before he makes you feel any more isolated than before, because believe me the idiot would do it and be none the wiser’’ Kurama stated with a slight smile and as Kagome raised her eye’s to his she could see the humour in them and couldn’t stop a feel giggles from escaping her lips as the tension eased from her body.
“HEY! I am not doing anything wrong! I just wanted to get the work shit out of the road and get to the drinking! You big bunch of baka’s see if I save your ass again Foxboy!” Yusuke fumed before he was silenced by a harsh look from his wife. He looked around to see the entire group holding back laughter and even Hiei had amusement dancing across his features as a smirk tugged his lips.

Kurama merely smiled indulgently at Yusuke before stating “ I’ll remember that next time we spar together Yusuke” in a lower voice and the flash of gold in his eyes stated that he would not only feel Kurama’s wrath but Youko’s aswell. Yusuke gulped. Kurama turned back to face Kagome with an easy smile firmly in place before guiding her to take a seat at the table with a hand at her back and he smirked as he suddenly smelt the difference in her scent before taking a seat across from her as the acquisition began.

The rest of the room went back into casual mode with the tension now diffused for the time being and they happily continued their conversations from before. It wasn’t long before Yusuke had appeared from a cupboard with a whiskey bottle as well as several other bottle’s of alcohol and a fuming wife at his heels. He turned and crooned at her whilst kissing her cheek and rubbing her stomach whilst whispering for her to relax that one glass of wine won’t hurt the baby and with that the evening really began.



It wasn’t three hours later that Yukina and Kazuma decided to bid goodnight to everyone as an inebriated Shizuru declared that she was off to meet the Emporer and sauntered out the door in her bare feet and Kurama’s jacket whilst singing the national anthem.
Kazuma hurried quickly out the door with a blush that clashed magnificently with his hair whilst screaming for Shizuru to stop before picking her up and hoisting her over her shoulder whilst Yukina rushed out goodbyes before following the siblings quickly.

Kagome giggled as she watched the trio out the window. She liked Shizuru already, the woman had been frank during her conversation and she found herself drawn to the outspoken woman and she admired her complete lack of morals, Kagome grinned. Shizuru was simply scandalous. She stirred her wine glass as she glanced around the room at these strange bunch of people. She smiled as she watched Yusuke hug Keiko’s sleepy frame from behind as their entwined handed rested on her stomach, she thought they would be good parents and knew that their child would be truly loved. Her thoughts strayed to how their child would be a hanyou as she sighed wistfully whilst seeing puppy ears and long silver hair. She missed her boys, Inu Yasha and Shippou. Would her little kit be a grown man now? She turned her head slightly and regarded the other two men left in the room. Hiei and Kurama were engaged in some card game and apparently the fox was winning if the sliight tilt of his lips was anything to go by, that and Hiei’s annoyed glare at both Kurama and his card’s . Kagome wondered which one he’d set on fire first.

She finished off her wine and went to say her own goodbye’s to Yusuke and Keiko before heading home. She walked over with as much grace as a person can have after 6 glasses of wine, perhaps 7, and exclaimed to Yusuke that she ought to be going and that she would meet him in the café where they had their first conversation in a few days, so that she can properly think things through before making her decision and Yusuke agreed giving her a firm handshake before saying “Even if you don‘t join be sure not to be a stranger, We could all do with a new friend and you seem so lonely Kagome, seriously think about things but know this. Even if you don‘t accept you can‘t get rid of us that easily” And with a wink he squeezed her hand in a gentle manner before going to put the empty glasses in the sink and collect the bottles of different alcoholic beverages and see just how much damage they had all done tonight.

She gave Keiko her address and phone number before insisting that she must visit and be sure to make that Yukina does also, the little youkai was simply far too timid. She then turned to say goodbye to the rather attractive male youkai who had just finished their poker game and were putting the cards away.

“I’m going to head home now boy’s, It’s nearly two in the morning and I’m not exactly a party animal I guess. I hope we see each other again sooner or later. Yusuke will let you know if I don’t take up the offer!” She smiled at them brightly and both males froze as their arousal spiked through the roof. Kurama acted first and lifted her hand to his lips and pressed a kiss on her knuckles before slowly giving Kagome back her hand and smiling up at her.

“Indeed Kagome we will see each other again” he whispered in a low voice that sent tingles through her body . She smiled at him and cupped his cheek in a friendly way before she replied “Goodnight to you too Youko”.

Hiei turned his head to look at the woman when he realised her attention was now on him and not the fox. He was still stupefied after that smile but he shook himself mentally before looking her in the eye.
“ Goodnight” left his lips before he graced her with a small smile of his own and it was Kagome’s turn to freeze. ‘Kami, why do all youkai have to be so damn handsome?!’ She tore herself away from his gaze and stepped away from them all before waving merrily before heading for the door.


Kagome stepped outside into the harsh night whilst pulling her jacket tighter to her body. She contemplated calling a taxi but it was a short walk and decided the fresh air might help her sober up and hopefully not have to bad of a hangover the next morning. She stepped out onto the quiet street and walked at a leisurely pace in the empty streets. She gazed at the sky and silently reminisced over how different the sky was 500 years ago ‘You used to see the stars’. She continued on walking down the street before turning a corner wondering about what the sky might look like in another 500 years, she’d just have to wait and see.

She hummed quietly to herself before something tingled at the back of her mind and she slowed her pace as she rounded another corner and she suddenly became aware of another person in the vicinity. Not so much a person as a demon. She made sure to keep walking at the same pace whilst trying to locate where it was, but the damn alcohol had muddled her senses and she couldn’t quite determine where the youkai was. Suddenly a figure leapt at her out of the darkness and knocked her face forward onto the ground and she smacked her head on the concrete.

“Too easy. Where is the Jewel bitch? Tell me and I might just let you leave after I’ve played with you a little while longer of course.” Kagome rolled her eyes, just how many times had she heard that line before, stupid baka demons. When would they just fuck off and leave her alone. You didn’t see her going into this supposed Makai and jumping out at demons. Idiots. They were all fucking idiots.

She pushed herself up with quick reflexes and turned to look her attacker on the face. She supposed he was handsome , if you liked the fat ogre type. He glared at her furiously as if offended that she tried to defend herself. He flung himself at her and his size belied his speed as he was on top of her before she could blink. “ Give me the fucking Jewel and I’ll make this quick”. He pulled a dagger out off his tunic before dragging it along her neck before plunging it into her shoulder and smiling as she screamed out in pain.

He started laughing as he twisted the dagger before yanking it back out of her arm and he relished in her pained whimper. He would enjoy taking this one’s innocence and then her life. Maybe he’d take her before the Jewel? Yes, that sounded like an exceptionally good idea. He looked down upon the woman who was looking at him in a thoughtful way. Something was definitely off with this woman he thought as he leapt at her again and knocked her out soundly with a quick blow to the temple before hauling her over his shoulder and walking towards an alleyway he had seen about 3 miles ago. They wouldn’t be interrupted there he thought as he felt himself begin to harden at what he was about to do.


Hiei frowned as he watched Kurama excuse himself when his phone started ringing. ’Obviously someone he’s screwing’ but that’s beside’s the point. His frown deepened as he tried to identify the sudden emotion that was coursing through his veins, something was wrong. And he intended to find out.


Kagome tried to keep her breathing regular so her attacker would believe she was still sleeping as she tried to remember what had happened and were she was. This was why she didn’t drink she thought ruefully. It always did mess up her reactions and her powers never seemed to work properly after a few drinks but then usually she never had too. She opened her eyes slightly to try and identify just were exactly she was and if her attacker was near. She tried to keep a frown from marring her brow when she felt something heaving binding her wrists and she inhaled sharply when she looked down. ‘That bastard has binded my energy’. Fear suddenly struck her as she laid there on a dirty alleyway with no way of getting help. She probably wouldn’t see the morning if things got any worse. ‘NO’ she thought furiously ‘I refuse to die!’

Kagome opened her eye’s fully as she tried to formulate a plan in her mind, she registered the fact that the demon was standing about twenty feet away watching her every move. He smiled cruelly at her as he rose to his feet and stalked towards her like a predator with a look of pure want that Kagome’s stomach lurched. With her hands binded she was done for, without her powers there was nothing she could do to stop him taking what he wanted from her, ‘Except the Jewel’. He could do whatever he wanted with her but he could never truly have the jewel, the idiot just didn’t get it. Kagome didn’t have the jewel. She WAS the jewel.

She flinched as his clawed hand caressed her cheek, it wasn’t exactly gentle, she could feel the hot blood trailing down her cheek. He moved forward and pressed his lips to hers. She closed down and refused to react. The youkai obviously didn’t like this plan as he pulled her hair harshly and as she opened her mouth in protest he forced his tongue in, she nearly gagged when his taste entered her mouth and she did the only thing she could. She bit down. Hard.

If she thought he was angry before he was furious now. She smirked, If this bastard was going to try take her she wasn’t planning on making it easy. The unnamed youkai glared at her furiously before picking her up my her collar and throwing her against the wall. He smiled in satisfaction as he smelt fresh blood from a new wound he had just given her. He stalked towards her again and pressed himself against her fully allowing her to feel just exactly what she was doing to him. He tore her jacket from her now seemingly limp body and began tearing through the material of her shirt. The shirt slipped from her shoulders baring her to his eyes and he drank her all in. He felt sorry for the fact he was going to have to kill her after he got the jewel. He yanked her trousers down and had just began unzipping his own pant’s when a knee cap flew at his with lightening speed and aimed true. He hunched over grabbing himself in an effort to ease the pain and recognised the signs of her trying to escape. He snarled as he lifted his head sharply to see her sprinting to the end of the alley and he lunged for her again. Grabbing her by the back of her head by her hair he forcefully pushed her onto the cold dirty soil .

Kagome felt tears of anger course down her cheeks, as he shifted his weight on her back to keep her from moving. She was being raped dammit and she couldn’t do a thing about it. She was fucking immortal, had killed probably one of the most powerful hanyou’s and saved the world and here she was in a dirty alley about to be raped, bleeding profusely with no one their to help her. She had never felt so alone in her life.

The youkai on top of her suddenly stilled as he felt something brush against his aura. He waited and expanded his senses, when he felt nothing he shook his head ‘Probably my imagina-’

He never got to finish that thought, a cool blade had pierced through his spinal cord in one swift move.

Hiei pulled his sword from the pathetic creature and hauled its body of the girl. Scum like that deserved to die, tainting the name of all youkai by doing something as shameful as raping and abusing someone weaker than them. He looked down on the girl, some silly onna who’s memory he’d had to remove. He stilled completely as her scent registered with him ‘Kagome’ he thought as he quickly kneeled down beside her and hoisted her upright and settled her in front of him.

She blinked up at her saviour in confusion, ‘what just happened?’

“ You silly bloody onna, walking home this late at night, witrh power like your’s your like a flame for scum like him!!” Hiei ground out harshly “What if I hadn’t found you? You baka! You could have been raped or killed!!” His eyes widened as Kagome surged forward into his lap and threw her arms around him whispering thank you’s. He froze for a moment before slowly wrapping his arms around her and holding her too him. They sat like this for quite a time with her crying quietly whilst he held her close and rubbed her back in a soothing reassuring manner before her violent sobs became sniffles. Hiei pulled himself back and inspected her, he sighed audibly when his eye’s came across her bleeding cheekbone and without thinking he leaned in close to her face and his tongue bathed the wound as the blood stopped before it began to heal before his eyes and his smiled in a satisfactory manner.
Kagome had frozen as soon as she felt his warm moist tongue upon her skin. She sat there making sure to keep extremely still as she wondered just what the hell was going on before it clicked in her mind that he was helping her, tears filled her eyes once more and she hugged Hiei to her yet again before asking “ Hiei can I go home, I’m so tired.” Hiei nodded in agreement before loosening his hold on her slightly before pulling his cloak form his shoulder’s and wrapping it around Kagome loosely.

“Where?”

She told him her address and he rose silently before taking off at an amazing speed and Kagome simply couldn’t look away as the buildings around them became a blur. “He’s faster than Inu Yasha was” she exclaimed out loud unthinkingly and Hiei snorted before continuing on. Kagome for her part was mortified upon realising her mistake as a pretty blush crept up her cheeks. They were outside her door in minutes and Kagome grabbed the keep from under a plant pot before grabbing his arm and dragging him inside. Hiei looked at his arm where she hand was clenching the material of his shirt in confusion, he looked around her small apartment and found it to his liking, its modern furnishings mixed with those of traditional Japanese origin made it individualistic and he realised her humble abode was like her. It was different/

Kagome turned to Hiei and looked at him before nodding towards the kitchen, his apparent confusion at her motions had her sighing mentally at his ignorance, he was rather adorable like this she thought. “Tea?”

If Hiei was the blushing type he was sure his face would be in flames ‘I am an idiot’. He made a noise of agreement before following her into the kitchen. He again sat down and turned to regard her silently at her as she went about the motions of tea making . When the mug was placed in front of his he lifted it too his lips and let the bitter liquid enter his mouth before swallowing soundly. He sat there for a while before asking her “ Why were you not fighting back Kagome? What did he do to you? Did he hurt you before I got there?” He wondered to himself just when had he started calling this woman by her name, he’d known and screwed demonises and never given them such an honour.

Kagome hastened to reassure him that the man had not been able to hurt her properly before Hiei had rescued her. She removed her hands from under the cloak and he looked upon the broken manacles with disgust, Kagome mentioned that whilst lifting her upright he had broken them when she herself had not been able too before. “ How did you know?”

“I didn’t, I got a feeling that something back was occurring. I didn’t know who it was or what it was but I just got this feeling that I needed to go check. I felt the demons aura and approached and then I found you.” He reached for her hands and burned through the metal quickly then cooled it so it cracked before falling from her wrists in varying sizes of debris. “I should get going now, your safe.”

He made a move to stand when a small hand latched onto his wrist and a single word left her lips “Stay”. And he understood, she needed someone just to be there for her tonight. Just to be a constant to chase away thought’s of what could just of happened to her. Why did he care? He thought to himself. He had only met this woman hours ago and here he was sitting with her as if they’d known each other years, and yet he knew that with one look in her eyes he’d stay with her to night and be the strong being she needed. What was it about this woman that drew him to her.

He latched onto the hand that was attached to his other arm and withdrew her hand. He nodded slowly at her before winding his fingers through hers and she rose to stand beside him before walking out of the kitchen and striding across the living room into her bedroom her hand still holding his. He glanced about her bedroom and noted that like the rest of her quirky home it held an irresistible charm. He took back his cloak that she offered him and looked away at her underdressed form. He waited in the same spot as she left the room and came back minutes later dressed in pyjamas. His lip’s quirked up in a half-smile at the picture she presented, she was completely engulfed by the huge things and looked even smaller than usual. He kicked off his boots and removed the belts from his pants as she moved around the room to the side of the bed which was apparently hers before drawing back the cover’s and clambering into the middle. He stood silently regarding her and she too stared back. As they continued looking into each others eyes he an unconsciously moved closer to the bed and he was disgruntled when he realised he was climbing in. He situated himself on the bed and stared up at the roof. He listened as Kagome’s breathing evened out and alight snore surrounded them coming from the petit woman beside him, he felt her hand slide across the bed sheets to entangle with him own and he frowned when he couldn’t find it in himself to pull away from her. The last thought that crossed his mind whilst wrapping an arm around the waist of the body that had scooted over and attempted to steal his warmth was just who the hell this ridiculous onna think she was touching his.
And as he gripped her waist in a tight embrace sleep finally overcame both the Forbidden Child .And the miko of the Shikon No Tama who had been awake the entire time smiled as she snuggled deeper into the embrace before finally letting sleep overcome her too.
