Chapter 7 A Coming of Age
Youko quite frankly was pissed off, watching Kagome kiss Yusuke had rubbed him up in a very annoying way…
One - He was aroused by watching them!
Two - It didn’t look like he was going to get any relief soon for it!
Three - God-dammit he was jealous yep jealous that the 20 year old boy had kissed the girl before he did!
Jealousy was not an emotion he was used to feeling either, as a 1000 year old Kitsune he had had many lovers male and female, using his beauty and kitsune seduction as easy as breathing was to him.
No one that he can remember had ever turned him down really, he had many challenge’s to conquer but he always got them in the end, and as he explained to Kurama so many hours ago, he didn’t mind sharing the priestess with the detective but still he wished that he had been the one to kiss her first and now he was pouting like a five year old who had had his favourite toy taken away from him.
So that’s why he couldn’t resist after Koenma saying she had to now kiss Hiei next, walking up behind her slightly dazed body and breathing every so gentle down one side of her neck, the place were he knew his mating mark would be and whispering every so huskily.
“Mmm I can’t wait till my turn.”
He was every so pleased to see her responsive shiver, he thought with arrogance ‘she will be mine’, at the same time noticing a disapproving look from his other half.
Kagome decided to sit down to gave herself a few moments to recover, what with the kiss with Yusuke and then being hit on by Youko she wondered what was going to be next. She was glad that Inuyasha wasn’t here or he’d be going mental by now.
Kagome caught herself realising what she was thinking, Inuyasha … she wasn’t ever going to see him again. Her throat tightened slightly at the thought, then raised her head to stare around the room, her gaze landed on Hiei who was coldly staring back at her, his eyes were like a scalpel ready to cut through her skin to see what was underneath. He really did remind her of Sesshomaru in away, coldness and pride coming from every inch of his body, though small in height he seemed larger with a very strong personality.
He was indeed a proud demon, strong probably too, she couldn’t tell yet not until he got back in his own body. She had a feeling this demon would rarely trust anyone but once you had his trust and friendship that he would die for you, in a way that reminded her of Inuyasha too. He was handsome too, with compact and muscular body, crimson eyes and that unusual standing up black hair with the white star burst of hair near the white bandanna around his forehead, made her wonder what else was under there.
Kagome realised she wanted to be friends with this demon, something inside her said her life and his needed it. She always trusted her instincts like the day she released Inuyasha from his seal. Well she liked a challenge, look at Inuyasha he tried to kill her the first day she’d met him. Kagome smiled brightly at Hiei making his eyes narrow in distrust, Kagome just laughed inside at the memories that brought up, so similar to Inuyasha.
Something about this woman disturbed Hiei, he wasn’t sure what it was but as soon as he returned to his body he would find out, he really missed his Jagan at this moment. If anything though Hiei had to admit to himself privately at least it was this woman who had to kiss him and not that ningen baka who lusted around his sister, his eyes flinched in anger and disgust at the thought of it.
Kagome who had got up from the chair and was making her way towards Hiei, stepped back warily.
Hiei still thinking while a part of him watched the girl coming towards him, thought at least the girl was pleasant to look at, not beautiful as some demoness that he had occasionally rutted with but she did have a pleasant aura though he would never admit to it, she had power too he supposed. But he wasn’t attracted to her, no definitely not, part of him felt he was protesting a bit to much to believe it, he had noticed that the detective and the kitsune seemed to be falling over the girl.
As for Kurama he too seemed to show a look of attraction but not as strong as the others, his mind probably on his stolen body. Anger raced through his own then, to think some one tried to trap them and steal his own body. Well revenge was a favourite pastime of his.
Kagome watched as several different emotions ran across his face, maybe she wasn’t close with Sesshomara comparison.
Hiei got up from his cross-legged position on the floor and then he went towards the priestess and stopped in front of her with a smirk.
“Hn well then onna.”
Kagome nodded briefly in answer and praying at the same time this would be other soon. She rubbed her palms on her skirt to rid some of the clamminess.
So once more Kagome concentrated on her spiritual power, this time though it was harder, she didn’t know if it was because of her nerves or because of the reluctance she was feeling because of the demon’s attitude towards her but she found it a struggle to call forth her power. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead which Hiei just sneered at sensing the woman’s struggle. Finally though it came, it was actually hurting her slightly this time but she carried on stubbornly refusing to give up just because of a little bit of ache ness that she was feeling.
Koenma watching was sensing something strange from the priestess for one he could tell the girl was struggling deeply against her power. He wondered if it was the power of the Shikon no Tama, he was aware that it had been absorbed by the young woman changing her. For now though he would just watch as he been instructed to do from the day she had been born.
Kagome finally with her miko powers under her control leaned forward and firmly this time kissed Hiei showing no fear of him to his surprise. A smell of cinnamon and baked apples came to her as she kissed him unlike though with Yusuke she didn’t get that tingle in her body instead a fire built up inside her stomach and swept through and surrounded her along with the feeling of pain and a deep deep anger and a sense of aloneness. It was Hiei’s emotions she was feeling, things he kept hidden inside of his self. Kagome gasped removing her lips from his, at the same time she reached around him and hugged him as her mother had hugged her earlier.
Hiei hadn’t known what to expect when the priestess kissed him, he actually felt nothing at first then she gasped and a sudden surge of her power hit him and something else went through him as she embraced him. He wanted to push her away from him, physical contact he hated from others, but he couldn’t, he didn’t have the strength actually to move, a burning warmth grasped his insides surrounded him as he stood now still and unresisting against the onslaught of power and feelings pouring from the young woman.
Kuwabara watched with glazed eyes along with the others as once again Kagome’s aura rose up from her body but instead of her body glowing, now a indistinct pale pink dragon started to wrap itself up and around herself and Hiei.
Hiei’s aura answered back with black dragon shape, both now entangled around each other. Kagome let go of Hiei, the aura’s separating and then walked now towards his still body, and bent down to kiss him to finally release him from the curse.
Just as before when with Yusuke, Hiei’s spirit wavered then disappeared into the dragon shaped mist which flew towards Kagome, it wrapped around her once more going through her and then flew into Hiei’s body.
Hiei recovered quicker than Yusuke, his body quickly tensing as he sat up on the bed and throwing of the sheet which covered him, he looked at Kagome who was sitting down now recovering, his look wasn’t of gratitude that was for certain especially because of the emotions that had arisen because of it.
“Lady Kagome thank you for help today. I think you should return to your shrine so that you can recover. Your help is still needed though, is it okay for Botan to retrieve you again when we have found and recovered Kurama’s body?”
Kagome looked at Koenma and just nodded quietly.
“Excellent, Botan if you could escort Lady Kagome home.”
“Yes sir.”
Kagome sighed and then got up of the chair, she had just got comfortably too.
“Hiei, Yusuke I think just to be safe I’ll have the medical team check over you, see if the curse has left any effects.”
“No way toddler am I getting prodded about by some quacks.”
“We are fine.”
“Hiei are you sure?” Koenma looked at the demon who stared back.
“Hnn.”
“Okay, okay, just don’t coming crying to me if something happens.”, with that final word Koenma left the room.
Hiei walked up close to Kagome, Youko watched with suspicious eyes not trusting the demon momentarily.
“Onna.”
“Demon.” With a straight face Kagome stared back not giving an inch, what was it with demons calling her names, wench, bitch, miko now onna what next she thought. “ Ka..Go..Me that is my name, easy peasy lemon squeasy…yes.”
“Onna!” Hiei smirked once more and left the room quickly as a shout of “DEMONNNNN!”, followed him loudly, Hiei just smirked more.
Yusuke following along with Kuwabara saw Hiei’s smirk and grinned, ‘he likes her.’
Kagome stood there clenching her hands as she fumed.
“Baka demon, I’ll purify him the next time he says that or maybe …?”, certain plans ran through her brain producing a rather evil grin that had Botan shuddering.
Kurama looked at the young woman and smiled, his first real smile since his body had been snatched. He’d never seen Hiei act like that before not with human woman anyways, usually he just ignored them as beneath his notice.
“Kagome if you are ready we will leave now.”
“Okay Botan.”
Kagome went towards the door following Botan but suddenly she stopped and turned and went instead to Kurama. Kagome crouched down slightly and put one of her hands over his.
“They will find your body soon Kurama, I just know they will.”
Youko watched the interaction between his other half and the miko, Kurama was staring with a slight blush at the young woman with also a hopeful look whilst she comforted him. If Hiei had been there to read his mind and Youko’s plans he would have winced and maybe a small growl. Youko thoughts were set on the girl as soon as he and Kurama were reunited with their body, the girl was theirs.
No matter what obstruction there was he would destroy it and have her as his lover though he had a feeling that he might now have some competition from a certain fire & ice demon, no matter he would find a way around him. Hiei from what he gathered was fighting against the attraction already. Youko prowled over to them both still talking quietly together whilst Botan watched on waiting for Kagome to finish.
Kagome stood up; she felt better talking to Kurama, one - she wanted to help him and two - it meant she could briefly put her own problems to the back of her mind, selfish she knew for feeling that way but she didn’t care, Kagome just wasn’t ready yet to face reality. Plus new things seemed to be popping up at the moment which helped, the way she reacted to Yusuke’s and Hiei’s kiss startled her and made her ache in away she had never felt before.
She had only kissed one person before and that had been to release Inuyasha from Kaguya’s spell, the similarities to the spirit detectives case was ironic she thought, but even then when she had kissed Inuyasha that had been different, a kiss of desperation and first love she supposed and the naivety of a fifteen year old, were as with the other two, the passion that had shook through her body made her aware for the first time ever of the desires awakening inside of herself. Maybe it was because she was 18 now she didn’t really know, whatever Kagome thought she was scared but excited at the same time.
Hands gently placed on her shoulders broke through her thoughts as she was turned around to stare right up into the golden eyes of Youko. The look in them made her flush and feel dizzy, never had such a look of intense hunger had been turned on her before, ‘ gee golly whiz’ as her stomach took off without her, the butterflies inside now turning into a tornado of feelings.
“Youko…!”, a warning voice from Kurama which Youko ignored, his first plan of action already ruthlessly set in motion. His little miko however briefly she would be away wouldn’t definitely forget him as he tightened his grasp on the girl and with the use of his tails brought her closer to him as he bent down and kissed the girl. Maybe it was because of Yusuke and Hiei kissing her before him that made him do it, made him want to stake his claim on the girl, he didn’t care really, only to burn his desire on the girls mind and body.
Kagome trembled as she sensed the full force of the Kitsunes barely leashed desire for her. Needing to place her hands somewhere she placed them on his chest, her nails sank in to his clothing seeking his hard muscled body under the thin fabric. Youko groaned and deepened the kiss. His tongue surged in dominantly and Kagome tasted the fire in his kiss. Kagome was only dimly aware of how his tails were gently stroking themselves up and down her back making her shudder into Youko’s mouth who groaned once more in answer. She felt a lower hardness from his body nudging her and knowledge of that made her quiver and tighten with desire and anticipation.
Kurama watching near by with shock as Youko kissed the miko, his own body reacting to the kiss, it was as he was feeling it himself, a taste of strawberries hit him as well as the feeling of a touch on his chest, desire raced trough him as he closed in eyes and moaned slowly, what was happening to Youko he was feeling maybe because of their link to each other.
Botan by now was as red as a tomato watching Lady Kagome kiss the two before had made her blush slightly but this surpassed that. It made her feel slightly jealous too because never before had she been kissed like that before with such passion.
“Lady Kagome … Lady Kagome..”, not wanting to interrupt them really but felt best if she did, this really wasn’t the place for such things.
Botan’s voice broke through Kagome’s daze of hazy desire making her release herself from Youko’s possessive kiss as she came to with a rosy blush with the awareness of her surroundings.
“Please forgive me Kagome I couldn’t resist besides that humans do say practise makes it perfect.” Youko’s seductive voice reached her ears, Kagome just nodded and watched as Botan opened a portal and escorted her through it.
Youko smiled triumphantly as he watched the dazed miko walk through the portal with Botan and then turned to his counterpart whose own face was a mixture of desire and slight disaprovement.
Yusuke was more relaxed about his feelings to the miko, he wanted her when he first saw her in the shop and now after that kiss, the feeling had intensified.
Hiei’s thoughts were more about Kurama, rescue of his friends body a top priority, Kurama being one of the first people he’d ever trusted and now the toushin too. As for the miko he didn’t trust her, no matter if she had helped them, though he sensed that the feelings coming from his Jagan and dragon were a bit different to his own thoughts to his immense dislike, for some reason the pair liked her. Well it didn’t matter he was in control not them, he only needed her to break the spell on Kurama after that he would have nothing else to do with the miko that was for definite.
Soon the pair were within reach of Yomi’s home as Yusuke had changed into his Mazoko form as soon as they had entered Makai his strength, speed and senses had greatly enhanced. Changing made him able to keep up with Hiei as especially as time at the moment was of the essence.
It wasn’t long that the two were before Yomi in one of the rooms in his fortress.
“ I wonder when you lot would arrive.” Yomi standing near a arched window briefly glanced briefly at the two demons before returning his gaze once more outside.
“Where is he?” Yusuke straight to the point not even bothering in greeting the long dark haired horned demon.
“My spies lost sight of the hunters over an hour ago, the demons who took Kurama’s body went into a cave several miles from here to the north, and the entrance is protected by a strong barrier. None of my men could enter though they did try.”
“You are aware of what has happened aren’t you.”
“Yes I even knew several days ago of who the hunters were about to target too.”
Yusuke as normally burst out angrily, “Hey why the fuck didn’t you warn us or Koenma even?”, along with that his energy started to fluctuate wildly.
“Calm down Riazen.”, Yomi using his title for once.
“Hey don’t call me that, I gave up that title remember, once you beat me!”
“You may not rule here but the title is still yours, its in your blood.”
“Hnn. Enough of this, tell us why Yomi.” Hiei voice chilled icily, tightening his grip on his katana as he waited on Yomi’s answer.
“Shura was kidnapped 2 weeks ago, the day I came aware that these hunters trespassed on my lands.”
“Shura your son.”
“Yes, I received a note later that day warning me to keep out of their way, they even told me their plans about you and how I was to keep out of it, not to warn you or else.”
Yomi’s anger flared briefly until he controlled it, not only was his son taken but he was threatened too. These scum will learn they can’t control him and now Hiei and Yusuke was here he could go forth with his plans.
“So why are you helping us now?”
“Shura was returned to me just recently.”
“Well then lets go and have some fun.” Yusuke grinned as he clenched his fists intent with menace, he was in need of a good fight and with the knowledge that Kurama’s body and the kidnappers were near by well made it just the more sweeter for him.
Yomi answered back similar in style to Yusuke whilst Hiei just looked on with a cold face.
“Hnn.”
What was she to do know, it was going to be hard picking up her life once more. In one respect she had been fortunate that she had had a month to get used to the hard fact that she would be returning to her own time and not be able to go back any more.
The last month she had spent most of her time in the feudal era saying goodbye but building memories which were of a happy note now Naraku was gone, the daily threat over their lives had lessened slightly, not that they didn’t less up on the protection of the Shikon no Tama, plus helping Sango with her grief dealing with the fact that Kohaku was dead. Though finding on later on that Sesshomaru had brought him back with the Tensiaga was a relief and a joy, she was glad for Sango.
Amongst many things that last month Kagome had brought her camera and took several pictures of the gang, some of Kaede, loads of Miroku and Sango especially one when Miroku was touching her bum followed by another were he was promptly flattened on the ground with a red mark on his cheek with Sango standing by furious. She had several albums full of pictures in her bedroom of her adventures over the years with Kouga and his wolfs, she remembered one photo were Kouga was funnily enough chasing Ginta and Hakkaku for a change when she had giving them some pocky.
One time she even got some of Rin asleep next Sesshomara cuddled up to his mokomoko pelt. She had been petrified after that thinking that Sesshomaru was going to kill her when the flash went off but strangely he only stared at her and then winked, that frightened her even more.
Her favourites amongst were of course Inuyasha, some making her laugh and some brought sadness especially one when she had persuaded Kikyo and Inuyasha to stand together so that she could get one of them. The love for each other in that picture had been strong that she was surprised it hadn’t burnt up when been developed.
Kagome giggled thinking when she first started taking them into the local camera shop to get them developed the funny looks she had received when picking them up, she had explained she had been to a cos-play festival recently. After that her mother bought her a digital camera and now she had downloaded any pictures she had on to her computer, which was safer and stopped any unnecessary questions too.
‘At least I’ve got them and my memories, but what will be my life like now.’, no more adventures in the past, not been able to see her dear friends who become like 2nd family to her. What was her future going to hold in store for her now, strange how the thought that her life would now turn to some sort of normalcy would depress her.
Three years of living through life and death situations had changed her enormously. Kagome knew that especially this last year from when ever she met her friends Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi, when they talked about things that to normal teenage girls were important, boyfriends, fashion, etc, etc, small things like that seemed strange to her now as if she had lost touch with her own time.
When Botan had appeared before earlier that day, she had literally jumped on her invitation knowing however brief her help was needed for, she could for a short time hold back on the reality of things sinking in. Before she had to return to the normality of things, going to college, helping around the shrine, her grandfather would be exhilarated now that she was home for good.
She could also imagine Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi frantically looking around for her a new boyfriend, thank god finally Houjo had gave up on her, nice though he was he wasn’t for her, actually he was going out with Ayumi now, apparently she had liked him for years.
Thinking of boyfriends and such brought back what she had been doing earlier that day. She had kissed 3 men or demons if you wanted to be correct about it, kami what would her mama think if she found out. Kagome up till then had only ever kissed one boy before and that had been Inuyasha to break Kaguya’s spell, the similarities to detectives situation were ironic and made her grimace too. Now she had kissed three more and that was in the same day.
Maybe next time she would learn to ask what she was to do before saying yes to any one needing help. Her mind started mocking her then saying she only had to kiss two men to break their spell just then, it hadn’t been Youko’s turn really as his and Kurama’s shared body wasn’t even there. Kagome snorted out loud and then her face stared flushing, she had to admit slightly to herself and her mind yes she was attracted to them, the only one she hadn’t kissed had been Kurama and she was afraid that her reaction would be the same.
Certain things popped up making Kagome breathe more heavily and flush even more, also that now familiar ache in her body came back. The strength she had felt in Yusuke’s muscular body and the firmness he had kissed her with, that fire and power from Hiei, the way Youko had touched her body making her want more and the way Kurama’s eyes and been so gentle and the softness in his voice brought another shiver to her body.
‘Oh kami have I turned into some rampant slut or something, maybe its to do with the curse or could it be …’, Kagome’s thoughts drifted then trying put the wanton thoughts out of her mind, just another thing she would deal with later. The fact that coward sprang to her mind made no dent on her at all. She supposed she should feel shocked at what she was thinking especially with today’s morals and laws, but being in the feudal era had opened her mind to a lot of thing though that was more because of her being more comfortably with demons than humans. A past remembered conversation with Sango came to mind.
Flashback
After a long hard day shard hunting, Kagome and Sango had been relaxing in a small hot spring, and that content of their current conversation would of made a certain perverted priest hentai radar bleep very loudly and maybe even his ears go slightly red.
Sango was telling Kagome what she knew about demon mating habits.
“I don’t know why you are telling me this for Sango you know Inuyasha and I are just best friends now, I don’t want I relationship like that with him now.”
“I know Kagome but the way demons seem to flock to you I thought it best if I told you something’s, even Kaede feels the same way too.”
This made Kagome face already red from the hot spring go redder, Sango with an answering flush then with a determined look but a embarrassed voice promptly told Kagome more that she really wanted to know. When they had returned from the hot springs to their camping site, the first person both of girls gazed upon was Inuyasha, at sight of him both giggled and flushed wildly whilst smirking at him to the poor and bewildered Inu-hanyou bemusement.
End Of Flashback
Thinking about this now made her want Sango more than ever at least for some to talk to she couldn’t really talk to her mama about such things.
“Kagome dear why don’t you come in now, its getting dark and cold.”, Kagome’s mother interrupted her inner musings.
“Oh mama how long have you been standing there for?”
“I just come out now dear, I had a feeling you would be near.” Mrs Higurashi looked up the god tree which had watched over this shrine for a long as she remembered with a smile.
Kagome felt the warm greeting the tree gave her mother in reply with a sense of wonder, not only that the small ache she had from before disappeared. As she stood up collecting her things and followed her mother into their home she wondered about that. It was the first time ever that her body had reacted like that when she had used her spiritual powers, they had never hurt her before and it worried her especially as she really didn’t have any one to talk about it.
Before she had Kaede and Miroku to lean on and provide guidance in her spiritual powers, even Kikyo had told her a few things, but now she didn’t know who to ask except maybe her grandfather. Kagome knew he didn’t have any spiritual powers but he did have a lot of knowledge and a lot of ancients manuscripts around that might help her and he even might know some one who could help her too.
Kagome was now sitting around the table with her family eating supper whilst in-between bits telling he family what had happened that day from the Shikon no Tama being purified and then disappearing in dust into her body and then of course meeting the ruler of Spirit World, flying over River Styx etc, etc and then when she met the spirit detectives and broke their spell not including how though. Kagome’s grandfather was stuck between shock that the Shikon no Tama had disappeared and pride but mostly set in shock.
“Kagome you helped demons.”
“Shh gramps.”
“Yes father, Kagome knew what she was doing.”
“Thank you mama.”
Grandfather just grumbled under his breathe.
“Oh Kagome..”
“Yes mama.”
“I know this is a bit early to ask you this, but have you any thoughts about the subject which we talked about yesterday.”
“Huh.”, blankly Kagome said then she remembered with a small flinch.
“OH that…”
“It will do you some good Kagome, not only will it earn you some extra pocket money, it might help to decide what you want to do now. With school now other and your exams done, you can take a breather, I’m not pushing you Kagome. I am very proud of you, not many young women of your age would do what you have and still be able to be so strong.”
Kagome, Souta and grandfather stared as Kun-loon finished her small talk with a smile. Kagome stood up and walked round the table to hug her tightly.
“Oh mama.”, sobbing down into her mothers neck.
Souta looked on worried briefly then smiled mischievously.
“So what are you going to put in for Nee-Chan, I’ve heard Wacdonalds is taking on.”
“SOUTA you little brat.”
“Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!”
Kun-loon looked on as her daughter chased Souta out of the kitchen with an amused smile, her family back together once more.

Chapter 7 A Coming of Age
Youko quite frankly was pissed off, watching Kagome kiss Yusuke had rubbed him up in a very annoying way…
One - He was aroused by watching them!
Two - It didn’t look like he was going to get any relief soon for it!
Three - God-dammit he was jealous yep jealous that the 20 year old boy had kissed the girl before he did!
Jealousy was not an emotion he was used to feeling either, as a 1000 year old Kitsune he had had many lovers male and female, using his beauty and kitsune seduction as easy as breathing was to him.
No one that he can remember had ever turned him down really, he had many challenge’s to conquer but he always got them in the end, and as he explained to Kurama so many hours ago, he didn’t mind sharing the priestess with the detective but still he wished that he had been the one to kiss her first and now he was pouting like a five year old who had had his favourite toy taken away from him.
So that’s why he couldn’t resist after Koenma saying she had to now kiss Hiei next, walking up behind her slightly dazed body and breathing every so gentle down one side of her neck, the place were he knew his mating mark would be and whispering every so huskily.
“Mmm I can’t wait till my turn.”
He was every so pleased to see her responsive shiver, he thought with arrogance ‘she will be mine’, at the same time noticing a disapproving look from his other half.
Kagome decided to sit down to gave herself a few moments to recover, what with the kiss with Yusuke and then being hit on by Youko she wondered what was going to be next. She was glad that Inuyasha wasn’t here or he’d be going mental by now.
Kagome caught herself realising what she was thinking, Inuyasha … she wasn’t ever going to see him again. Her throat tightened slightly at the thought, then raised her head to stare around the room, her gaze landed on Hiei who was coldly staring back at her, his eyes were like a scalpel ready to cut through her skin to see what was underneath. He really did remind her of Sesshomaru in away, coldness and pride coming from every inch of his body, though small in height he seemed larger with a very strong personality.
He was indeed a proud demon, strong probably too, she couldn’t tell yet not until he got back in his own body. She had a feeling this demon would rarely trust anyone but once you had his trust and friendship that he would die for you, in a way that reminded her of Inuyasha too. He was handsome too, with compact and muscular body, crimson eyes and that unusual standing up black hair with the white star burst of hair near the white bandanna around his forehead, made her wonder what else was under there.
Kagome realised she wanted to be friends with this demon, something inside her said her life and his needed it. She always trusted her instincts like the day she released Inuyasha from his seal. Well she liked a challenge, look at Inuyasha he tried to kill her the first day she’d met him. Kagome smiled brightly at Hiei making his eyes narrow in distrust, Kagome just laughed inside at the memories that brought up, so similar to Inuyasha.
Something about this woman disturbed Hiei, he wasn’t sure what it was but as soon as he returned to his body he would find out, he really missed his Jagan at this moment. If anything though Hiei had to admit to himself privately at least it was this woman who had to kiss him and not that ningen baka who lusted around his sister, his eyes flinched in anger and disgust at the thought of it.
Kagome who had got up from the chair and was making her way towards Hiei, stepped back warily.
Hiei still thinking while a part of him watched the girl coming towards him, thought at least the girl was pleasant to look at, not beautiful as some demoness that he had occasionally rutted with but she did have a pleasant aura though he would never admit to it, she had power too he supposed. But he wasn’t attracted to her, no definitely not, part of him felt he was protesting a bit to much to believe it, he had noticed that the detective and the kitsune seemed to be falling over the girl.
As for Kurama he too seemed to show a look of attraction but not as strong as the others, his mind probably on his stolen body. Anger raced through his own then, to think some one tried to trap them and steal his own body. Well revenge was a favourite pastime of his.
Kagome watched as several different emotions ran across his face, maybe she wasn’t close with Sesshomara comparison.
Hiei got up from his cross-legged position on the floor and then he went towards the priestess and stopped in front of her with a smirk.
“Hn well then onna.”
Kagome nodded briefly in answer and praying at the same time this would be other soon. She rubbed her palms on her skirt to rid some of the clamminess.
So once more Kagome concentrated on her spiritual power, this time though it was harder, she didn’t know if it was because of her nerves or because of the reluctance she was feeling because of the demon’s attitude towards her but she found it a struggle to call forth her power. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead which Hiei just sneered at sensing the woman’s struggle. Finally though it came, it was actually hurting her slightly this time but she carried on stubbornly refusing to give up just because of a little bit of ache ness that she was feeling.
Koenma watching was sensing something strange from the priestess for one he could tell the girl was struggling deeply against her power. He wondered if it was the power of the Shikon no Tama, he was aware that it had been absorbed by the young woman changing her. For now though he would just watch as he been instructed to do from the day she had been born.
Kagome finally with her miko powers under her control leaned forward and firmly this time kissed Hiei showing no fear of him to his surprise. A smell of cinnamon and baked apples came to her as she kissed him unlike though with Yusuke she didn’t get that tingle in her body instead a fire built up inside her stomach and swept through and surrounded her along with the feeling of pain and a deep deep anger and a sense of aloneness. It was Hiei’s emotions she was feeling, things he kept hidden inside of his self. Kagome gasped removing her lips from his, at the same time she reached around him and hugged him as her mother had hugged her earlier.
Hiei hadn’t known what to expect when the priestess kissed him, he actually felt nothing at first then she gasped and a sudden surge of her power hit him and something else went through him as she embraced him. He wanted to push her away from him, physical contact he hated from others, but he couldn’t, he didn’t have the strength actually to move, a burning warmth grasped his insides surrounded him as he stood now still and unresisting against the onslaught of power and feelings pouring from the young woman.
Kuwabara watched with glazed eyes along with the others as once again Kagome’s aura rose up from her body but instead of her body glowing, now a indistinct pale pink dragon started to wrap itself up and around herself and Hiei.
Hiei’s aura answered back with black dragon shape, both now entangled around each other. Kagome let go of Hiei, the aura’s separating and then walked now towards his still body, and bent down to kiss him to finally release him from the curse.
Just as before when with Yusuke, Hiei’s spirit wavered then disappeared into the dragon shaped mist which flew towards Kagome, it wrapped around her once more going through her and then flew into Hiei’s body.
Hiei recovered quicker than Yusuke, his body quickly tensing as he sat up on the bed and throwing of the sheet which covered him, he looked at Kagome who was sitting down now recovering, his look wasn’t of gratitude that was for certain especially because of the emotions that had arisen because of it.
“Lady Kagome thank you for help today. I think you should return to your shrine so that you can recover. Your help is still needed though, is it okay for Botan to retrieve you again when we have found and recovered Kurama’s body?”
Kagome looked at Koenma and just nodded quietly.
“Excellent, Botan if you could escort Lady Kagome home.”
“Yes sir.”
Kagome sighed and then got up of the chair, she had just got comfortably too.
“Hiei, Yusuke I think just to be safe I’ll have the medical team check over you, see if the curse has left any effects.”
“No way toddler am I getting prodded about by some quacks.”
“We are fine.”
“Hiei are you sure?” Koenma looked at the demon who stared back.
“Hnn.”
“Okay, okay, just don’t coming crying to me if something happens.”, with that final word Koenma left the room.
Hiei walked up close to Kagome, Youko watched with suspicious eyes not trusting the demon momentarily.
“Onna.”
“Demon.” With a straight face Kagome stared back not giving an inch, what was it with demons calling her names, wench, bitch, miko now onna what next she thought. “ Ka..Go..Me that is my name, easy peasy lemon squeasy…yes.”
“Onna!” Hiei smirked once more and left the room quickly as a shout of “DEMONNNNN!”, followed him loudly, Hiei just smirked more.
Yusuke following along with Kuwabara saw Hiei’s smirk and grinned, ‘he likes her.’
Kagome stood there clenching her hands as she fumed.
“Baka demon, I’ll purify him the next time he says that or maybe …?”, certain plans ran through her brain producing a rather evil grin that had Botan shuddering.
Kurama looked at the young woman and smiled, his first real smile since his body had been snatched. He’d never seen Hiei act like that before not with human woman anyways, usually he just ignored them as beneath his notice.
“Kagome if you are ready we will leave now.”
“Okay Botan.”
Kagome went towards the door following Botan but suddenly she stopped and turned and went instead to Kurama. Kagome crouched down slightly and put one of her hands over his.
“They will find your body soon Kurama, I just know they will.”
Youko watched the interaction between his other half and the miko, Kurama was staring with a slight blush at the young woman with also a hopeful look whilst she comforted him. If Hiei had been there to read his mind and Youko’s plans he would have winced and maybe a small growl. Youko thoughts were set on the girl as soon as he and Kurama were reunited with their body, the girl was theirs.
No matter what obstruction there was he would destroy it and have her as his lover though he had a feeling that he might now have some competition from a certain fire & ice demon, no matter he would find a way around him. Hiei from what he gathered was fighting against the attraction already. Youko prowled over to them both still talking quietly together whilst Botan watched on waiting for Kagome to finish.
Kagome stood up; she felt better talking to Kurama, one - she wanted to help him and two - it meant she could briefly put her own problems to the back of her mind, selfish she knew for feeling that way but she didn’t care, Kagome just wasn’t ready yet to face reality. Plus new things seemed to be popping up at the moment which helped, the way she reacted to Yusuke’s and Hiei’s kiss startled her and made her ache in away she had never felt before.
She had only kissed one person before and that had been to release Inuyasha from Kaguya’s spell, the similarities to the spirit detectives case was ironic she thought, but even then when she had kissed Inuyasha that had been different, a kiss of desperation and first love she supposed and the naivety of a fifteen year old, were as with the other two, the passion that had shook through her body made her aware for the first time ever of the desires awakening inside of herself. Maybe it was because she was 18 now she didn’t really know, whatever Kagome thought she was scared but excited at the same time.
Hands gently placed on her shoulders broke through her thoughts as she was turned around to stare right up into the golden eyes of Youko. The look in them made her flush and feel dizzy, never had such a look of intense hunger had been turned on her before, ‘ gee golly whiz’ as her stomach took off without her, the butterflies inside now turning into a tornado of feelings.
“Youko…!”, a warning voice from Kurama which Youko ignored, his first plan of action already ruthlessly set in motion. His little miko however briefly she would be away wouldn’t definitely forget him as he tightened his grasp on the girl and with the use of his tails brought her closer to him as he bent down and kissed the girl. Maybe it was because of Yusuke and Hiei kissing her before him that made him do it, made him want to stake his claim on the girl, he didn’t care really, only to burn his desire on the girls mind and body.
Kagome trembled as she sensed the full force of the Kitsunes barely leashed desire for her. Needing to place her hands somewhere she placed them on his chest, her nails sank in to his clothing seeking his hard muscled body under the thin fabric. Youko groaned and deepened the kiss. His tongue surged in dominantly and Kagome tasted the fire in his kiss. Kagome was only dimly aware of how his tails were gently stroking themselves up and down her back making her shudder into Youko’s mouth who groaned once more in answer. She felt a lower hardness from his body nudging her and knowledge of that made her quiver and tighten with desire and anticipation.
Kurama watching near by with shock as Youko kissed the miko, his own body reacting to the kiss, it was as he was feeling it himself, a taste of strawberries hit him as well as the feeling of a touch on his chest, desire raced trough him as he closed in eyes and moaned slowly, what was happening to Youko he was feeling maybe because of their link to each other.
Botan by now was as red as a tomato watching Lady Kagome kiss the two before had made her blush slightly but this surpassed that. It made her feel slightly jealous too because never before had she been kissed like that before with such passion.
“Lady Kagome … Lady Kagome..”, not wanting to interrupt them really but felt best if she did, this really wasn’t the place for such things.
Botan’s voice broke through Kagome’s daze of hazy desire making her release herself from Youko’s possessive kiss as she came to with a rosy blush with the awareness of her surroundings.
“Please forgive me Kagome I couldn’t resist besides that humans do say practise makes it perfect.” Youko’s seductive voice reached her ears, Kagome just nodded and watched as Botan opened a portal and escorted her through it.
Youko smiled triumphantly as he watched the dazed miko walk through the portal with Botan and then turned to his counterpart whose own face was a mixture of desire and slight disaprovement.

Yusuke and Hiei were swiftly making their way to Yomi’s fortress in Makai after emerging from a portal Hiei had opened for them from Koenma’s office. Since they had left, the two had barely talked to each, both busy with their thoughts each similar in content, worry of Kurama’s body and of course revenge mixed with anger and then strongly of the miko Kagome.Yusuke was more relaxed about his feelings to the miko, he wanted her when he first saw her in the shop and now after that kiss, the feeling had intensified.
Hiei’s thoughts were more about Kurama, rescue of his friends body a top priority, Kurama being one of the first people he’d ever trusted and now the toushin too. As for the miko he didn’t trust her, no matter if she had helped them, though he sensed that the feelings coming from his Jagan and dragon were a bit different to his own thoughts to his immense dislike, for some reason the pair liked her. Well it didn’t matter he was in control not them, he only needed her to break the spell on Kurama after that he would have nothing else to do with the miko that was for definite.
Soon the pair were within reach of Yomi’s home as Yusuke had changed into his Mazoko form as soon as they had entered Makai his strength, speed and senses had greatly enhanced. Changing made him able to keep up with Hiei as especially as time at the moment was of the essence.
It wasn’t long that the two were before Yomi in one of the rooms in his fortress.
“ I wonder when you lot would arrive.” Yomi standing near a arched window briefly glanced briefly at the two demons before returning his gaze once more outside.
“Where is he?” Yusuke straight to the point not even bothering in greeting the long dark haired horned demon.
“My spies lost sight of the hunters over an hour ago, the demons who took Kurama’s body went into a cave several miles from here to the north, and the entrance is protected by a strong barrier. None of my men could enter though they did try.”
“You are aware of what has happened aren’t you.”
“Yes I even knew several days ago of who the hunters were about to target too.”
Yusuke as normally burst out angrily, “Hey why the fuck didn’t you warn us or Koenma even?”, along with that his energy started to fluctuate wildly.
“Calm down Riazen.”, Yomi using his title for once.
“Hey don’t call me that, I gave up that title remember, once you beat me!”
“You may not rule here but the title is still yours, its in your blood.”
“Hnn. Enough of this, tell us why Yomi.” Hiei voice chilled icily, tightening his grip on his katana as he waited on Yomi’s answer.
“Shura was kidnapped 2 weeks ago, the day I came aware that these hunters trespassed on my lands.”
“Shura your son.”
“Yes, I received a note later that day warning me to keep out of their way, they even told me their plans about you and how I was to keep out of it, not to warn you or else.”
Yomi’s anger flared briefly until he controlled it, not only was his son taken but he was threatened too. These scum will learn they can’t control him and now Hiei and Yusuke was here he could go forth with his plans.
“So why are you helping us now?”
“Shura was returned to me just recently.”
“Well then lets go and have some fun.” Yusuke grinned as he clenched his fists intent with menace, he was in need of a good fight and with the knowledge that Kurama’s body and the kidnappers were near by well made it just the more sweeter for him.
Yomi answered back similar in style to Yusuke whilst Hiei just looked on with a cold face.
“Hnn.”
***
The sun was going down as she returned to her shrine, darkness edging in on the horizons. Instead of rushing her home when Botan dropped her off, instead she went to place that was very close to her, the Goshin Boko Tree. With a long sigh Kagome placed her Bow and quiver of arrows down beside her as she sat and leant against the tree, a familiar position and pastime that brought tears to her eyes, the only thing missing was a hanyou sitting in the branches above her and a small kitsune sleeping in her lap she thought sadly. Kagome closed her eyes and rest her head back more against the tree, its comforting presence calming her.What was she to do know, it was going to be hard picking up her life once more. In one respect she had been fortunate that she had had a month to get used to the hard fact that she would be returning to her own time and not be able to go back any more.
The last month she had spent most of her time in the feudal era saying goodbye but building memories which were of a happy note now Naraku was gone, the daily threat over their lives had lessened slightly, not that they didn’t less up on the protection of the Shikon no Tama, plus helping Sango with her grief dealing with the fact that Kohaku was dead. Though finding on later on that Sesshomaru had brought him back with the Tensiaga was a relief and a joy, she was glad for Sango.
Amongst many things that last month Kagome had brought her camera and took several pictures of the gang, some of Kaede, loads of Miroku and Sango especially one when Miroku was touching her bum followed by another were he was promptly flattened on the ground with a red mark on his cheek with Sango standing by furious. She had several albums full of pictures in her bedroom of her adventures over the years with Kouga and his wolfs, she remembered one photo were Kouga was funnily enough chasing Ginta and Hakkaku for a change when she had giving them some pocky.
One time she even got some of Rin asleep next Sesshomara cuddled up to his mokomoko pelt. She had been petrified after that thinking that Sesshomaru was going to kill her when the flash went off but strangely he only stared at her and then winked, that frightened her even more.
Her favourites amongst were of course Inuyasha, some making her laugh and some brought sadness especially one when she had persuaded Kikyo and Inuyasha to stand together so that she could get one of them. The love for each other in that picture had been strong that she was surprised it hadn’t burnt up when been developed.
Kagome giggled thinking when she first started taking them into the local camera shop to get them developed the funny looks she had received when picking them up, she had explained she had been to a cos-play festival recently. After that her mother bought her a digital camera and now she had downloaded any pictures she had on to her computer, which was safer and stopped any unnecessary questions too.
‘At least I’ve got them and my memories, but what will be my life like now.’, no more adventures in the past, not been able to see her dear friends who become like 2nd family to her. What was her future going to hold in store for her now, strange how the thought that her life would now turn to some sort of normalcy would depress her.
Three years of living through life and death situations had changed her enormously. Kagome knew that especially this last year from when ever she met her friends Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi, when they talked about things that to normal teenage girls were important, boyfriends, fashion, etc, etc, small things like that seemed strange to her now as if she had lost touch with her own time.
When Botan had appeared before earlier that day, she had literally jumped on her invitation knowing however brief her help was needed for, she could for a short time hold back on the reality of things sinking in. Before she had to return to the normality of things, going to college, helping around the shrine, her grandfather would be exhilarated now that she was home for good.
She could also imagine Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi frantically looking around for her a new boyfriend, thank god finally Houjo had gave up on her, nice though he was he wasn’t for her, actually he was going out with Ayumi now, apparently she had liked him for years.
Thinking of boyfriends and such brought back what she had been doing earlier that day. She had kissed 3 men or demons if you wanted to be correct about it, kami what would her mama think if she found out. Kagome up till then had only ever kissed one boy before and that had been Inuyasha to break Kaguya’s spell, the similarities to detectives situation were ironic and made her grimace too. Now she had kissed three more and that was in the same day.
Maybe next time she would learn to ask what she was to do before saying yes to any one needing help. Her mind started mocking her then saying she only had to kiss two men to break their spell just then, it hadn’t been Youko’s turn really as his and Kurama’s shared body wasn’t even there. Kagome snorted out loud and then her face stared flushing, she had to admit slightly to herself and her mind yes she was attracted to them, the only one she hadn’t kissed had been Kurama and she was afraid that her reaction would be the same.
Certain things popped up making Kagome breathe more heavily and flush even more, also that now familiar ache in her body came back. The strength she had felt in Yusuke’s muscular body and the firmness he had kissed her with, that fire and power from Hiei, the way Youko had touched her body making her want more and the way Kurama’s eyes and been so gentle and the softness in his voice brought another shiver to her body.
‘Oh kami have I turned into some rampant slut or something, maybe its to do with the curse or could it be …’, Kagome’s thoughts drifted then trying put the wanton thoughts out of her mind, just another thing she would deal with later. The fact that coward sprang to her mind made no dent on her at all. She supposed she should feel shocked at what she was thinking especially with today’s morals and laws, but being in the feudal era had opened her mind to a lot of thing though that was more because of her being more comfortably with demons than humans. A past remembered conversation with Sango came to mind.
Flashback
After a long hard day shard hunting, Kagome and Sango had been relaxing in a small hot spring, and that content of their current conversation would of made a certain perverted priest hentai radar bleep very loudly and maybe even his ears go slightly red.
Sango was telling Kagome what she knew about demon mating habits.
“I don’t know why you are telling me this for Sango you know Inuyasha and I are just best friends now, I don’t want I relationship like that with him now.”
“I know Kagome but the way demons seem to flock to you I thought it best if I told you something’s, even Kaede feels the same way too.”
This made Kagome face already red from the hot spring go redder, Sango with an answering flush then with a determined look but a embarrassed voice promptly told Kagome more that she really wanted to know. When they had returned from the hot springs to their camping site, the first person both of girls gazed upon was Inuyasha, at sight of him both giggled and flushed wildly whilst smirking at him to the poor and bewildered Inu-hanyou bemusement.
End Of Flashback
Thinking about this now made her want Sango more than ever at least for some to talk to she couldn’t really talk to her mama about such things.
“Kagome dear why don’t you come in now, its getting dark and cold.”, Kagome’s mother interrupted her inner musings.
“Oh mama how long have you been standing there for?”
“I just come out now dear, I had a feeling you would be near.” Mrs Higurashi looked up the god tree which had watched over this shrine for a long as she remembered with a smile.
Kagome felt the warm greeting the tree gave her mother in reply with a sense of wonder, not only that the small ache she had from before disappeared. As she stood up collecting her things and followed her mother into their home she wondered about that. It was the first time ever that her body had reacted like that when she had used her spiritual powers, they had never hurt her before and it worried her especially as she really didn’t have any one to talk about it.
Before she had Kaede and Miroku to lean on and provide guidance in her spiritual powers, even Kikyo had told her a few things, but now she didn’t know who to ask except maybe her grandfather. Kagome knew he didn’t have any spiritual powers but he did have a lot of knowledge and a lot of ancients manuscripts around that might help her and he even might know some one who could help her too.
Kagome was now sitting around the table with her family eating supper whilst in-between bits telling he family what had happened that day from the Shikon no Tama being purified and then disappearing in dust into her body and then of course meeting the ruler of Spirit World, flying over River Styx etc, etc and then when she met the spirit detectives and broke their spell not including how though. Kagome’s grandfather was stuck between shock that the Shikon no Tama had disappeared and pride but mostly set in shock.
“Kagome you helped demons.”
“Shh gramps.”
“Yes father, Kagome knew what she was doing.”
“Thank you mama.”
Grandfather just grumbled under his breathe.
“Oh Kagome..”
“Yes mama.”
“I know this is a bit early to ask you this, but have you any thoughts about the subject which we talked about yesterday.”
“Huh.”, blankly Kagome said then she remembered with a small flinch.
“OH that…”
“It will do you some good Kagome, not only will it earn you some extra pocket money, it might help to decide what you want to do now. With school now other and your exams done, you can take a breather, I’m not pushing you Kagome. I am very proud of you, not many young women of your age would do what you have and still be able to be so strong.”
Kagome, Souta and grandfather stared as Kun-loon finished her small talk with a smile. Kagome stood up and walked round the table to hug her tightly.
“Oh mama.”, sobbing down into her mothers neck.
Souta looked on worried briefly then smiled mischievously.
“So what are you going to put in for Nee-Chan, I’ve heard Wacdonalds is taking on.”
“SOUTA you little brat.”
“Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!”
Kun-loon looked on as her daughter chased Souta out of the kitchen with an amused smile, her family back together once more.
