Deadly Feelings

Chapter Five

 

Summary: She's lost most of her friends and have brought a few back. The quest is finally over, but at a price. Darkness ensues though, and Kagome is going to the same school as her cousin. It also looks like there may be another shot at love.

 

I am rating this fanfic for possible lemons in the future. There is also violent death.

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or YuYu Hakusho. I wish I did, but sadly... I don't. I make NO money from the stories. I merely write them for my own enjoyment (and to see if anyone will actually read them).

 

Let's talk telepathically. (Kagome will be talking to herself, so she's color coded.)

^^ Hiei

&& Kurama

@@ Youko

 

Kagome is this color.

Her demon is this color.

And her miko/human is this color.

This happens to be the jewel.

Everyone ended up staying at Shizuru's. Kagome was second to last to fall asleep. She walked to the fire escape and stepped outside. "I remember when I used to sleep in the tree with you." She sighed deeply. "You lied when you said it was to protect me better."

 

Hiei heard what she said and figured she was talking about the inu-hanyou she had mentioned in her story. He could tell by the way she spoke his name that she was in love with him. Hiei began wishing that maybe she could love him like that, then he caught what he was thinking and growled at himself. She's only a stupid ningen, why is she capable of doing this to me?

 

Kagome stared at the moon a little longer, at least where the moon was black. For tonight was the new moon. "Tonight would be your human night Inuyasha. I wonder if you'd let me brush your hair like you did last time?" Tears ran down her face before she collapsed and started crying silently. "It's no fair! You had to admit it just before you died. Stupid baka!"

 

Hiei had heard enough and he walked outside. "Quit crying over the past onna."

 

She looked up and quickly wiped her tears away. "I'm so sorry. I thought everyone else was asleep." She looked guiltily at the ground at the fact she had disturbed him.

 

Hiei sighed as he looked at her. "It does not matter, you shouldn't mourn the past. Simply be thankful for the future." With that he returned inside.

 

Kagome stayed outside all night and fell asleep leaning her back against the fire escape. Shizuru became frantic when she realized she was gone. "Kagome!"

 

"Five more minutes." Kagome murmured as she turned to face away from the inside.

 

Shizuru rushed out and shook her awake. Keiko saw where she was sleeping and had an unbelievable look on her face. "Isn't it uncomfortable out there?"

 

Kagome smiled faintly. "I'm used to sleeping in and against trees, and on the hard ground. So no, that's not very bad."

 

"You've slept in a tree!" Botan exclaimed. "That must've been awful."

 

"Actually I quite enjoyed it. It was the circumstance that I hated."

 

"What was that?" Yusuke asked.

 

Shippo walked out at that minute. "Wasn't that when Inuyasha went to see clay-pot and you couldn't sleep well and went to the god tree?"

 

Kagome smiled sweetly at him. "Her name was Kikyo, Shippo. And yes that's the time I was talking about."

 

"Kikyo, that dead girl?" Keiko asked.

 

"Yes, no one really liked her. Of course it was because she kept trying to kill Inuyasha and I, then there's the having part of my soul, and the her being an emotionless bitch."

 

Yusuke started laughing at how matter of fact she stated that. Shippo jumped up into her arms and yawned. "What's for breakfast momma?"

 

Shizuru answered that. "Nothing, unless someone else wants to cook."

 

Kagome laughed merrily at her cousin. "Same old Shizuru, I'll cook if I find something." She looked down to her son in her arms. "Any suggestions?"

 

"Something yummy!"

 

Kagome shook her head and walked into the kitchen. She found bacon, eggs, cereal, syrup, and pancake mix. "Make the pancakes." Kagome turned at the voice to see Hiei standing there. Smiling and nodding at him, she put Shippo down and told him to tell everyone what was for breakfast.

 

Everyone came in a little later and Kagome served them. Hiei ate his food a little away from everyone though. Some of the group looked surprised and Kurama smiled at them. "He likes his sweets."

 

No one really noticed that Kagome herself didn't eat. She instead took the phone out to the fire escape and called the hospital. Asking for her grandfather's room where her mother was sure to be. It rang and her mother did indeed pick up. "How is he momma?"

 

"Getting worse, but they're hoping he'll pull through." Michiko sounded close to tears, and her voice quivered a little. "How are you and the boys?"

 

"We're ok, everyone's eating." She looked into the kitchen and faintly smiled. "A few of Kazuma's friends came over and everyone spent the night. I just finished making them breakfast."

 

"That's really sweet of you honey. Did you get much sleep?"

 

Sighing she figured she could tell her mother what all happened. "Not really, and I found out a few things. There are three demons and a half demon at my school, not to mention Shizuru is psychic, and Kazuma has spiritual power. They're all here as well as Keiko, but she's human."

 

Michiko laughed at that. "Seems you have an odd habit of attracting demons to you. Do they know about Shippo then?"

 

"Yes, they even saw his tail."

 

"Momma! Momma! Come here!"

 

"It seems you need to go sweetie. Stop by after school."

 

"I will, bye momma." She hung up and walked into the kitchen to see her son looking at Kurama with big starry eyes. "What is it sweetie?"

 

"Momma! This is Youko Kurama! The great kitsune thief!"

 

Kagome thought for a moment, that name sounded so familiar. That's when her eyes lit up and she laughed. "I remember now, Kuronue's partner!" Everyone seemed to look at her upon that declaration. "What?"

 

"How do you know he was Kuronue's partner?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Kuronue said he was."

 

Kurama's eyes got wide. "When did you meet Kuronue?"

 

"Five hundred years ago. We came across him during our search. He was injured and dying."

 

"You saw him after the heist!" Kurama almost shouted.

 

"Mmhmm, though he told you to leave, he was mad at you for doing so. I wonder if he's still alive in this day?" She started to get a thoughtful look to her face.

 

Now even Hiei was looking at her. Everyone was wondering how the dying bat could still be alive. Kurama finally found his voice a minute later. "But he was dying, you said so yourself. How could you think he was still alive?"

 

Kagome got a cheery smile. "I saved him." Her face suddenly fell. "It's funny, I could save him but not the others."

 

Shippo jumped up into her arms and looked at her face. "Momma? It's not your fault your powers were too drained. You threw the finishing blast at Naraku. You had to use your power to bring down the barrier."

 

She looked into her son's eyes. "It's my fault for not being stronger Shippo. If only I had trained and gotten more power, then I could've saved them. Everything that happened back then is my fault. If I hadn't tried to find Buyo in the well house I wouldn't have fallen through. If I never tried to throw the jewel so the bird couldn't get it, it wouldn't have gotten stolen. If I never attached the foot to my arrow, it never would've shattered the jewel. If that never happened, your father wouldn't have died, Kikyo wouldn't have been resurrected, Sango's village never destroyed, and Inuyasha would still be alive."

 

They all just stared speechless at her. No one knew that she felt all of that was her fault. "But Kagome, if you hadn't returned then Naraku would still be alive, and Lord Sesshomaru would still be heartless. Koga's men would've continued to eat people as well. Sango never would've found a sister, and Miroku would've still died due to his curse."

 

She turned to Kohaku and hugged him tightly. "Thank-you!"

 

"Not to mention Ryukotsei would still be alive, dormant, but alive." Shippo said.

 

"That's a scary thought, that dragon being free during this time." They all shivered at that.

 

"Or Naraku still being alive in this time." Shippo shivered at his own thought.

 

"Sis, if you hadn't gone you never would've been trained to use your spiritual powers. And I never would've gained a nephew, a brother, or met Inuyasha." Souta had a faint smile now. "If not for him, I never would've asked Hiromi to be my girlfriend."

 

"Yeah, because he threw you outta the house and said you couldn't get in until you asked her." She laughed.

 

"So little Souta has a girlfriend?" Shizuru asked, changing the current subject.

 

"Yep. They make a cute couple too."

 

"Were you spying on us, Kagome?"

 

"I'm your big sister, it's my job to spy." Almost everyone laughed at that. At least they did until they felt a pulse. They continued coming and got stronger each time. Knowing only one thing that could cause the pulse, Kagome lifted the jewel from her chest and turned white at what she saw.

 

"What's the matter Kagome?" Kohaku asked as he tried to keep balance.

 

All of the demons saw the jewel and could feel the power surrounding it. The thing felt unstoppable, and you touched you could become unstoppable as well. "The jewel's awakening
