Hey guys! I’m off school and stuff, throat infection and nasty colds make my life hell, it was my birthday and everything and I couldn‘t even do much! Thank’s so much for reading so far, I promise we’re going to be back at present day soon :D! Thanks for taking the time to listen to the incoherent rambling’s of my mind and for the reviews, you are very kind!
Chapter 5 - The Consequences
Kagome sighed contentedly as she snuggled further into the heat source beside her on the bed and let the rays of sunlight coming through the curtain’s rouse her slowly. As the fog cleared from her mind and the event’s from last night replayed in her mind she shot up off the bed which led to the happily slumbering fire apparition to in turn jump up which resulted in a magnificent clash of skulls.
“ FUCK” exclaimed Kagome touching her forehead gingerly “ My poor brain!”
Hiei however was curled over in pain with a very irritated Jagan Eye giving him what he was certain was the most painful migraine in all the three realm’s and he whimpered pathetically curling into himself even more. ‘I could be impaled on a sword any day and yet this damned eye make’s me wish for a quick death’ he thought sarcastically to himself as he wondered what would be the most painful way to hurt the baka onna. Kagome darted off into the bathroom and grabbed a first aid kit and quickly ran cold water over a face cloth before draining the excess water away with a good squeeze before returning into her bedroom and clambering into the middle of the bed. Hiei turned a fierce glare on her as she straightened him into a sitting position before placing herself into the gap between his legs and straddling a pained youkai. “Why didn’t I think of this last night when that jackass tried to get fresh?” she mumbled to herself before turning her azure blue eye’s to his crimson and apologising profusely .
She carefully pried his hand away from the injured eye and gently removed the bandana that acted as it’s ward. She sucked in a breath as the eyelid opened in a lethargic manner and regarded her with something akin to curiosity. She own curiosity got the better of her. ‘Three years with a kitsune child can do that to a woman’. She reached out with her hand in a slow manner meant to placate and gently ran her fingers across the upper lid which began to close over and was quite startled at the rumbling growl which sounded rather like a moan that escaped the hybrid’s chest before he could stop himself. He had the decency to have a slight hint of pink grace his handsome sharp cheekbones.
“Close the Jagan Hiei, I need to put this on it, it will sooth the pain I promise.” She reached for the compress and gently pressed it to the closed eye which had an angry red mark on the lower lid. She gently stroked his bangs out of the way as she heard another whimper as she pressed a little to heavily on the agitated skin. Perhaps minutes, perhaps hour’s passed as they gazed at each other as Hiei allowed himself to receive the comfort from Kagome he has denied himself for so long and Kagome freely gave him the attention he needed and craved. Their intense gaze’s never wavering.
The peaceful atmosphere was broken by the shrill ring of a telephone. Kagome and Hiei’s heads snapped away from each other and the compress was left forgotten on the mattress as Kagome stood, straightened her pyjama’s and answered the telephone in a manner far to graceful for someone just out of bed, Hiei decided he would have been jealous of her grace if he had not been gifted with a great sense of equilibrium himself .
“Hello?.. Oh good morning mama! Hai, I’m just up.. Yes I am eating correctly and I paid the bills the other day ” she turned a gentle smile on Hiei and he found himself entranced with the movements of her lips. “Yes mother I do have company, NOT LIKE THAT, hentai mama stop laughing! Yes mother, it is a male friend, he walked me home and I couldn’t let him walk back in the dark, the couch mama, he slept on the couch!’’ she lied and scowled at the smirk she received from Hiei as he sprawled himself out on the bed and crossed his ankles. “ MAMA! That’s it, I’m hanging up goodbye. Yes Mama, I’ll call by sometime next week, perhaps he will accompany me mother, I’ll ask, yes I’ll tell him you say hello too. GOODBYE MAMA.”
She exhaled the sigh she didn’t realise she was even holding in and turned to face Hiei who was chuckling darkly as her expense, she stiffened at the amusement in his eye’s and stopmed out of the room to make herself some breakfast. Upon entering the kitchen she would indulge herself with some of those sugary western cereals, after all she had had a pretty rough time last night. She considered letting Hiei starve. The pompous ass.
Kagome observed him silently as he stepped out of her bedroom with his boot’s on and his cloak tossed over his arm, he really was quite beautiful, in a masculine way, with those sharp cheekbones and unforgettable eyes. Small yes, but then that was hypocritical, she was just small if not smaller herself. She just couldn’t help but compare him to the size of all the other youkai she had known, excluding younglings. The only other adult small youkai that came to mind was Jaken. And what a fine piece of ass Jaken was she thought humorously to herself suddenly feeling the need to empty what was left in her stomach from last night. Hiei looked at her strangely. ‘Damn all handsome youkai.’
“Tea Hiei? Something to eat maybe?”
“Tea will do”. Kagome set about making the tea and grabbed a bowl from a cupboard and began pouring the contents of the cereal box into her bowl and placed it on the table before fixing Hiei and herself tea and placing the scalding mug’s on the table.
They sat in a companionable silence for a while before Kagome felt the need to start asking questions. It wasn’t that the silence was awkward, it was an easy silence were both parties were quite comfortable to simply be in each others presence, that thought unnerved her as it had been a while since she had allowed anyone to come close enough for even sheer comanionship. She soon began her inquisition.
“ So Hiei, how long have you been doing this spirit doctor job then?”
“A while. And Kagome it‘s Spirit Detective”
Kagome blushed furiously. “My apologies Hiei-san, so why did you become a spirit detective? I have this strange feeling it was not off your own free will to simply save the lives of humans , am I right?”
“Perhaps.”
Kagome sat there slowly drinking her tea, she allowed her mental barriers to come down, to show Hiei that her curiosity was an honest one and she truly just wanted to know more about this Spirit world and their adventures to help her come to her decision. She allowed him to observe her confusion about joining, if she could be the hero once again, he saw her pain at her last adventures and how it came to its conclusion but she would not allow him to see much more than glimpses of her feudal adventures. It still hurt to much.
Hiei sighed aloud as he finished his intrusion into her mind, this onna was so like himself who was he to refuse such a simple question when he had seen quite plainly her intentions were nothing but honourable? And so he began his tale. He spared not one detail in hopes that perhaps one day she too would trust him enough to tell her own, he surprised himself. ‘Never before have I felt the need to tell my memories to anyone and yet I feel almost as if I am being relieved of a burden, what is this onna? Why does she make my soul feel at ease?’. He spoke tersely of his heritage and how he had been shunned by the ice maidens . He spoke almost wistfully of his childhood in the Makai with a band of thieves and their missions and the treasures he hoarded there in secret desolate area’s where none will ever think to look to find them and of the bounty hunters who annihilated his makeshift family for gold pieces and of his new search for his sister, Yukina. He absently wiped her tears as he continued on. He left nothing out as he retold his tale of stealing artefacts for the Reikai for his own personal use and smiled absently when Kagome chuckled as he described Yusuke boneheaded move that landed him in a cell before he was granted freedom with the consequence of joining the Reikai Tantei. Hiei allowed a small smile to creep upon his features as he divulged the adventure’s of the Dark Tournament and later of their dealings with Sensui and about his reactions to Yusuke’s true identity being revealed to all off them and how it amused him greatly that Yusuke of course was a battle demon as the baka was always craving for fight and yet was scared shitless of his tiny human wife. Kagome chose to stay silent as he retold her of his meeting with Mukuro and how they became fond of each other, how their relationship strengthened through the Demon World tournament and she had the decency to blush as he told her off the event that took place afterwards. She schooled her features into a mask of nonchalance as Hiei spoke of how their relationship began to deteriorate as his missions with the spirit detectives became more frequent again when rouge demons disobeyed the kings ruling’s concerning humans and she unconsciously reached for his hand as he told her off how he arrived at Genkai’s temple one night after Mukuro decided that their relationship wasn’t worth the bother and shot a hole through his stomach for having other things in his life apart from her. She felt proud of Yusuke and the rest of the group as he spoke of how they helped him recover and start afresh and smiled gently at him as he finished his tale.
Kagome sat in silence gazing at their entwined hands as tears made their journey down her hauntingly beautiful face as Hiei observed her and her reaction quietly. He felt the adrenaline pumping through his vein’s as he told her basically his life story and he wondered about what her reaction might well be. Would she accept this freakishly weird bond and friendship they seemed to have created or would she too shun him as countless others have. What he did not expect was for the tiny woman to be so fast as she leapt at him and hugged him fiercely. He spluttered for a time before awkwardly placing his arms around her trim waist and accepting her attempts to comfort him. Kagome rose and sniffed before apologising . “You’ve went through so much and yet here you are comforting me, you hide yourself behind this mask Hiei-san, but I see it, you cannot hide it from me.”
“Hide what?”
“The light in your soul Hiei-san, you believe yourself to be evil and unworthy of most things in lifebut you are wrong in that assumption. People shun and disregard that which they do not understand and that is their mistake not your’s. I see the goodness in you even as you try to hide it. Please. Please do not hide yourself from me Hiei-san”.
“Hiei.”
“What?”, Kagome asked confused.
“If we are to be friends, you will call me by my name. No honorific’s Kagome, if we are to be equals.”
Hiei was literally stupefied by the smile that greeted him. He looked at the clock on the cream coloured wall of her kitchen and decided that that was enough of the emotional thing for today. He feared that if they talked in this manner for any longer that he may well grow breasts of his own. Hiei shuddered before standing.
They walked to the front door of Kagome’s house and as he opened the door to walk out into the street below he paused for a second and his wish carried through the air before he literally vanished before Kagome’s very eyes.
“ Join the Rekai Tantei.”
Kagome smiled as she shut the door, thoughts buzzing through her mind ‘I might well just take them up on that offer’.
~~ 5 Days Later ~~
Yusuke sat down in the small café with Keiko glued to his side and looked down at her fondly as he sipped his coffee. He was nervous, Yusuke Urameshi was never nervous. Well, unless Keiko was pissed at him then he was nervous but upon facing hundreds of demons he showed no fear and yet here he was sitting in a low sofa with his wife sipping coffee, his stomach churning as he gazed across the table at Kagome. Kagome he decided was a beautiful woman. He had seen a lot of hot women in his life, smoking hot. But only twice in his life had he seen women as beautiful. The one sat to his left with her head leaning on his shoulder and the other smiling at his gently from across the table. It was strange for him, he felt a need to try and protect this woman he barely knew in a manner of a brother would protect his sister. He held no feeling’s of lust or want in him as his doe brown eyes clashed with her sapphire. He placed cup on the table mat in front of him and looked at Kagome expectantly.
“I’ve come to a decision Yusuke.”
Yusuke and Keiko both smiled simultaneously at the woman in front of them. They could hear it in her tone of voice. Her acceptance. Not only of the job, but of their friendship too.
“Oh?” stated Keiko as she practically beamed. “Can we ask what you have decided to do then Kagome?”
“I accept.”
And so the couple and their friend sat and talked animatedly about several different topic’s, from Koenma and meeting him in the next few day’s to the baby’s due date. And Kagome thought to herself as she laughed at Keiko and Yusuke’s playful arguing about calling a boy after his ‘super hot dad’ as Yusuke proposed they should do as Keiko argued there was no way in hell THAT was happening, Kagome smiled ‘It feels good to have a life, my life again’.
