Chapter 6

1 Year Previously

Koenma sighed as his eyes gazed over yet another sheet of paper work atop his excessively large desk, he was sick of signing death certificates today so he decided on doing some of the easier coursework today. Immigration. Most of the application’s he had viewed were downright hilarious. The immigration notice’s were ones that allowed Demons to move to the Human World and vice versa for highly aware human’s but in the case of the latter they must have a good means to protect themselves or else they simply were a demons breakfast. Demon’s however were a totally different matter. Some demon’s presented good case’s with good intentioned reasons varying from wanting an easier life than that normally lead in the Makai with peace and quiet and other’s wished to come to the Ningenkai to learn and make their riches. Koenma chuckled to himself as he read one of the more ridiculous reason’s though as some demon’s wanted to go to the ningenkai to have a nice human pet. ‘Some of these demon’s are utterly charming aren’t they?’ he thought sarcastically to himself. He placed the stamp into the ink before pressing it to the sheet where the word ‘DECLINED’ emerged on the page itself. This process was rather repetitive at times as he found more vulgar demon’s wanting to go to the human world merely for the thought of playing with the human’s their or some with their own version of the ’American Dream’ . He thought about bringing Jorge in to finish all his stamping off but decided against it as Jorge with a stamp is never a good thing, and the whole of the Human world might go to hell in a hand basket.

He allowed his mind to wander over the last few months in Spirit world with the addition of his new detective. He was rather proud of Yusuke for accomplishing his mission as he was uncertain about whether or not Kagome could be persuaded to join the Rekai Tantei but Yusuke did have some sort of way about him that drew people to him and made them listen to him, after they got over the intimidation of his 6 foot stature, massive aura, and wicked reputation that is.

Koenme remembered the first time Kagome had come into his office, he was rather ecstatic to meet the woman would had been spoken off in his bedtime stories when he was but a young godling of a centuries old. He still loved listening to and researching the legend’s of the Shikon no Tama and its guardian now and he was well over two thousand year’s old. He smiled at the memory of his team filing into his office with a nervous woman being guided by Kurama and Yusuke who were reassuring her that there was nothing to worry about. He stamped another form.

~~ 3 Months Previously ~~



“Are you guy’s sure about this? This Koenma seems like a busy man, perhaps we should come back another time ne?” Kagome stuttered out nervously. She was rather embarrassed with herself when she thought about it. Kagome Higurashi defeater of several powerful demon’s and Naraku himself and here she was nervous about meeting her future boss. She smiled shakily at Yusuke and Kurama as they whispered word’s of comfort to her about their being no reason to worry, Koenma was a good guy … or in Yusuke’s case “ Kagome he’s a toddler sized pain in the ass if he annoys you just purify his ass.. In fact even if he doesn’t annoy you just purify him okay?” and he said it all with a beaming smile that made Kagome calm a little. However whilst she half heartedly listened to Kurama and Yusuke it was Hiei who showed her memories of their tiny leader and his complete incompetence really that truly eased her mind and she turned to look at him briefly before pulling in a deep breath and reading herself for what was to come shortly.

Hiei felt smug as he calmed Kagome down by revealing what an idiotic sli of a boy he truly was and he felt satisfaction that it was by his means that she relaxed and not the sweet murmur’s of the cunnig fox who was eyeing her like a starving mans last meal. Hiei frowned when he recognised the emotion coursing through his veins as jealousy. ‘Well this is new’ , he thought to himself as he glared at the fox. Never in his 300 year’s had he ever felt truly jealous of another being until now, yes he had been envious of other’s for trivial matter’s before but now he felt like he should impale Kurama on his sword and be done with it. And all because of this woman. True, she was a powerful woman, gorgeous, rather alluring in an innocent way, nicely shaped, sexy ev- WOW.
Hiei shook his head rather violently startling the other people around him. Had he really just thought those things? How… how unlike him. Hiei was no stranger to the female species in general. He had bedded quite a few himself, and had what he supposed was a complex relationship with Mukuro, but never had he thought he would want another as he had wanted her again. He inspected Kagome yet again and acknowledged that there was no physical resemblance whatsoever between possibly to two most important women in his life, Yukina excluded.

Mukuro was physically marred but proud, a tall boyish woman who appeared to be abrupt looking and harsh. Kagome on the other hand was a dainty feminine creature who’s outer beauty reflected the purity and kindness of her very soul, she was small were Mukuro was tall and curvaceous where the latter was rather slim all round and flat chested. Kagome’s face held a mysterious beauty that drew you in and made a person ache to know more. However personality wise he decided both women were more similar. They were strong minded women, warriors and both exceptionally powerful, but where Kagome had elegance and class perfected Mukuro lacked these feminine qualities after surrounding herself by garish male’s her entire life and keeping no female company, where Kagome was polite Mukuro was rude and insensitive, something Hiei had found humorous upon meeting her. He was attracted to her lack of fear and her uncaring attitude towards what other people thought.

However, he found something in Kagome’s polite way’s attractive and her caring manner drew him to her in a way no other woman had before. He found himself thinking over all the times they had talked over the last few weeks and he was still surprised at his relative openness with her. Hiei was never open with no one. He was thankful that when the group did meet again Kagome didn’t spontaneously hug him as she usually did when they were together. Really, if it was anyone else he would have just saved himself the bother and allowed them to meet the end of his sword. Kagome had realised he was still rather knew to the whole ‘toughing people’ thing and knew she would be on the receiving end of a rather sore migraine courtesy of the Jagan if she alarmed him in such a way. A faint blush appeared on his cheeks as he remembered her gentle grazes upon his person whether she touched his hand or elbow when walking past him or how when they sat talking to one another whilst outside how she stroked his bang’s out of his eye’s before allowing her fingers to graze his cheeks and he found he couldn’t help but lean into her touch and even share secretive smiles.

Kagome calmed upon Hiei sending the mental images of the previous encounters with Koenma, He didn’t really seem that bad now that she had visible proof that he wasn’t going to try and take her new comrades, friends even, away from her. She felt a pleased warmth flow through her at the thought of the spirit detectives and their new found friendships. She thought of how two weeks ago she had met with Yukina at the temple for tea and was pleasantly surprised to see Hiei their also and she smiled as she remembered the rather startled look she received from him when she walked in to the dojo and witnessed a half naked Hiei glistening in sweat in the middle of a complex kata. He not only had a beautiful face she noted but a lean yet defined body as she fought the fierce blush that threatened to creep up her cheeks when she realised she was still staring at his abs. Hiei was in quite the same position just moments before as midst his usual morning work out he raised his head only to clash with startled cerulean eyes. Really. If he wasn’t so entranced he doubted he wouldn’t be irritated that he hadn’t noticed another being in the immediate vicinity but he mused that it was probably because whilst staying at the peaceful temple he had allowed Yukinas’ gentle and constant presence to lull him into a sense of security. His eye’s roamed the woman in front of his who was sporting a rather endearing look of a dear caught in headlights on her face. His eye’s wandered from her face after some time and he gazed down her body and he found it hard to look past her long sinful looking neck and admired her outfit whilst thanking the god’s for the unnatural heat today which lead to Kagome’s decision to wear a pale white slip dress that cut off mid thigh with a pair of casual sandals’. The dress was a thin layered loose fitting contraption with a lace layer over the top that gave it a classy yet casual look which Hiei could appreciate as it made Kagome seem even more in touch with natural and ethereal. It set off her light tan that would have gone unnoticed in any other colour he thought as he looked at her legs before forcing his gaze to return to her face, her hair was in a loose plait today with curl’s falling around her heart shaped face and Hiei thought he had never seen her look more beautiful. He shook himself out of his stupor and nodded to her slightly in greeting. “Kagome”.

Kagome started and tried to calm her nerve’s before smiling brightly in return. “ Good morning Hiei, enjoying some uh.. Training I see, do you not find it to warm to be working out today?1” she laughed. It didn’t really surprise her that Hiei was training, he came across as the determined type and she remembered that when Yukina had said Hiei stayed from time to time whilst calling her earlier in the week after the incident to ask if she wanted to come for lunch after telling her Shizuru had given her the number and Kagome found that she couldn’t deny the gentle woman anything and so here she was in her favourite summer dress and quickly put together hair probably looking like a sweaty pig in front of a rather appealing looking Youkai. ‘Just great Kagome. Humph. I always manage to make a complete idiot out of myself, standing here staring at him like he’s a piece of meat to be eaten!’. And this time Kagome couldn’t keep the blush down but thankfully before Hiei could reply Yukina slid the door open and smiled at them both before informing them that lunch was ready.

“I’m really glad you could make it Kagome when Shizuru told me that she’d gotten your number of Keiko on her last visit with Kazuma I asked her for it. You seemed like such a nice person yet I thought we didn’t get to really see the real you but that’s understandable given the circumstances” she gently smiled at her brother and Kagome before going on “ I hear however you kicked a few buts at cards! I was disappointed I missed that do to Shizuru’s ahh condition?”

Hiei snorted whilst both the female’s stifled their giggles, ‘Condition indeed, that woman could drink most youkai under the table’. He grinned as he thought of Shizurus skill with alcoholic beverage’s. He enjoyed her company because she took no shit from anyone no matter whether they were youkai or human and he was rather glad that yukina had a strong friend like that. However he did wish she didn’t talk about sex so openly in front of Yukina. He dreaded to think what idea’s that put in the oaffs brain and chose not to think about what Yukina thought about the matter. He’d rather gouge out his eye’s than think about that, even the one in the middle of his forehead. He turned his attentions back to his sister and her guest. Kagome was talking animatedly to Yukina about some trivial girl thing, he didn’t pay attention to it. He was more drawn to the way Yukina had Kagome’s arm within her own, Yukina never usually allowed physical contact in the same way he usually behaved. Hiei grudgingly admitted the only people she touched except usually on accident or whilst offering comfort were himself and Kuwabara. He sighed in defeat at the thought of the ginger baka. He was the only one Yukina seemed interested in and he realised that she didn’t want to look at others and she had taken it upon herself to tell Hiei that Kazuma had asked for her hand in marriage and she would accept, but they would also be mated in the demon way which granted them an equal lifespan. Hiei sighed again. He never would be rid of that idiot now.

The rest of the day passed in a lazy fashion. Lunch was pleasant with a lot of small talk and Yukina and Kagome talked freely and Kagome came to find she liked the demoness who was even smaller than herself with her soft voice and understated beauty.

Kagome smiled at the memory , all of the spirit detective’s had been so kind to her and she found that she let them integrate with her life easily from the boisterous Yusuke and Kazuma to the charming Kurama. She liked the fox, he was such a charming man. His outward appearance could be distracting, like Hieis’, but he had this calming presence coupled with his conversation and polite manner appealed to her. She always had been one for the dark horse’s. A trait it seemed both Hiei and Kurama possessed.

She steeled herself, took a deep breath and looked straight towards Koenmas’ desk. It seemed that the tiny ruler had taken the initiative and transformed into his older form in hopes that she would find it easier to communicate with him. That and he would rather such a fine specimen of the female nature didn’t see him tottering about in a diaper. “Kagome Higurashi, it’s nice to finally meet you. The tales don’t do you justice. I am Koenma, Prince of the Reikai, I’ve been following your stories since my youth, you are quite the ledgend. So have you thought about the offer Yusuke made on Reikais’ behalf?”

“Thank you sir, your word’s are much to kind! People know a lot of the Shikon then? I would like to know more at a later time if that’s okay? And please just call me Kagome” She managed to get her sentence’s out in a none nervous voice if she thought you herself. Koenma smiled at her indulgently at her joyous innocent expression before replying “ Hai, Kagome many being’s in all three realms know the ledgend of the Shikon no Tama and yet only two world’s no it to be true thankfully. I understand why you may want to talk more at a later time and it would be no problem for me. Let me know when you would wish to discuss it further..”

~~~ Present Day -Reikai

Koenma found himself smirking as he looked down upon the application for emigration to the Ningenkai in front of him. ‘Interesting, it seems a surprise is in order’. The smirk widened as he stamped AUTHORISED onto the form before moving onto the next and thankfully last of the emigration forms.






Kagome smiled at Kurama over the candlelit dinner they were having. The kitsune had invited her out for a meal in hope’s of getting to know her better away from the others’ as he feared they had not become as they had not had the time to, ‘that and the fact that Hiei seems to be everywhere I turn whenever I go near her, honestly if I didn’t know he was still vulnerable after the nasty break-up with Mukuro I would think he had taken an interest in her myself’ Youko huffed into Kurama’s mind as he eyed Kagome out of the avatar’s eyes. Tonight Kagome was dressed in a simple red dress with a pair of black heals. Kurama thought to himself that whilst the dress was simple Kagome looked anything but in it and he really wouldn’t mind helping her peel it off later.

Tonight had been a rather good night out, with a beautiful meal and good company and to anybody who walked past them they seemed to be a very attractive couple having a romantic meal. The reality was something rather different however. Kagome had found the illustrious fox at her doorstep with a bouquet of roses as red as blood with a charming smile asking her if she would like to come for a meal, a completely platonic meal he assured her. She had been reluctant to begin with but when he cracked that smile she found she couldn’t deny him quite like she hadn’t been able too a few weeks ago with Yukina but she mused that whilst with Yukina has an innocence that endeared the tiny youkai to Kagome it was something completely different that drew her to Kurama. Whilst Kurama could smile a childlike smile there was always something amiss but Kagome couldn’t decide if it was the devious set of his lips or the mischievous look that was in his eyes and the mystery that surrounded him appealed to him, that and the unknown quality from what she’d heard of this Youko character. She wasn’t certain if she wanted to meet Kuramas’ other aspect or not. They shared a smile as they tucked into desert and Kagome listened when Kurama retold her of his past and of the adventure’s the reikai tantei had been on. She didn’t want to be rude and tell her she had already known because Hiei had told her some weeks ago as that would probably rouse suspicion that they both didn’t want or would appreciate, her and Hiei’s friendship was theirs and theirs alone. Thinking of Hiei caused guilt to hit Kagome as she laughed at Kurama’s retelling of Kuwabara’s fake death during the Dark Tournament and how they thought they would never escape Yusuke’s wrath. Kagome had felt rather confused for a while now concerning the two handsome youkai and her attraction toward’s them. She was attracted to the both of them she realised. But she knew that only time could tell if something was to occur between her and either of the two, the thought of one of them refusing her as relationship material left her stomach in knot’s and yet it surprised her that thinking of Hiei denying her left a sour taste in her mouth also.What did that mean? She didn’t mean to feel guilty, it was just a meal with a friend right?

She frowned as she stood up at the end of the meal and Kurama helped her into her jacket before the stood out in the now rather harsh weather. They had walked to the restaurant so driving back was not a possibility. Kurama smirked at the blush adorning Kagome’s face as he placed his arm around her waist and directed her towards the taxi he had just motioned over. They climbed in the back and still Kurama did not remove his arm from where it was locked around her waist and he took it as a good sign when Kagome didn’t bring it up and he agreed with Youko that it was a good thing Kagome accepted their subtle advances. Well she accepted them if the slight change of her scent was anything to go by the fox in Kurama’s mind thought smugly.

“Would you like to come in for some coffee Kurama?” Kagome asked as she unlocked her door before waiting to hear his reply.

“If it wouldn’t be an inconvenience Kagome I think I would like that.” Kagome ushered him in and he took the time to look around her apartment and he appreciated it’s cleanliness as if their was one think about the meticulous fox was that he loathed dirty room’s or buildings in general. Hence why he accepted the job at his father’s building refurbishing company in the first place apart from for appearances. Whilst he didn’t mind dirty boys with Yusuke and Kuwabara being prime examples the way they go through close fighting even though they had supposedly gave up the fighting lifestyle outside of their jobs. Pffht. As if that would ever happen. Kurama liked the homely set up she has as he reclined further into the couch and waited for Kagome to return. Three minute’s and thirsty seven second later Kagome walked into the room with two large steaming cups of coffee and a plate filled with sugary treats. Kagome decided that after tonight and his sharing she would tell him something about himself. “ Well Kurama, I’m nineteen and obviously female. I grew up here in Toyko and up until a few months ago I worked in an office in Kyotobefore deciding to become a spirit detective. Any questions?”

“Several” he took a drink of his coffee, strong and with nothing diluting it. Just how he liked it. “What are your family like? Whenever your mission for the Shikon no Tama began, how did they accept it? Did they accept it?” Kurama asked the questions with a wistful tone as he thought of how he would never be able to tell his mother about his youkai self. He hated to admit it but he was scared of her reaction and yet he felt that he could imagine himself in Kagomes’ position with a loving and accepting family with whom she had no secret’s and for those few seconds that he imagined himself in her place was enough. Knowing that there were people out there accepting the fate’s of their loved ones and not shunning them gave him a sense of contentment he had not had in a long time.

“ When I first disappeared down the well my family hadn’t known what to believe. Their eleven year old son had said that his big sister had just been physically taken down a well by a monster and then I turn up a week later in a tattered uniform covered in muck and blood with an inuhanyou swearing after me. It forced my family to accept the truth of the matter I guess. We had always been a spiritually aware family and that was reflected in my mothers treatmant of InuYasha, he was so used to being disrespected by others that he was shocked by the way my mama made him one of the family almost immediately and freely loved him like a son. When InuYasha told them he would protect me with his life they had no problem’s accepting my decision to continue on in the Fuedal Era.”

Kagome stopped abruptly and the scent of tear’s assaulted Kurama’s nose and he silently cursed himself. He should have realised this was still a sore spot for the young woman, it wasn’t even a full year since she had been forced to give up her friends. They both stood at the same time trying to apologise to the other resulting in Kagome tripping backwards in surprise and she closed her eye’s to the onslaught of pain she knew was coming. She squeezed her eye’s tighter when she found she didn’t make impact with anything and as she warily opened them she inhaled a sharp breath at Kuramas close proximity to her own as their nose’s brushed each other and Kagome became aware of the arms around the back or her head and her waist. Time stood still as both of them began to close the distance before the shrill sound of the door bell ringing startled them out of the stupor and Kurama reluctantly set Kagome upright and watched as she went to answer the door.

Kagome stomped towards the door and flung it open harshly rather annoyed and embarrassed for being interrupted and for ending up in that predicament in the first place. Looking at the mood shitter Kagome was certain her heart skipped several beats as she gazed into his excited blue eye’s. It couldn’t possibly be..

The stranger on the other side of the door grinned lopsidedly at Kagome and Kuaram found himself confused and jealous. Who the fuck is that?!

“You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment, I hope you don’t mind having to let me rough it on the couch for a few night’s right okaa-san?”


Kagome muttered out a “Shippou” before promptly fainting.
