*Youko think *

~Kurama think~

/Hiei think/

================

 

Kagome looked down at the silver haired young man. He was a demon. She knew it! They didn't disappear, they just went into hiding….. `then why didn't they take me?'

 

He youkai looked up at her with hopeful golden eyes. “My Lord and father has sent me to get you my Lady. They all miss you terribly. Please come with me my Lady Kagome.”

 

Kagome held her hand to her chest. She wasn't sure who he was, but it sounded as though he knew who she was. “Who misses me terribly?”

 

“Why, Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Shippo, Lord Kouga, and my uncle, Lord InuYasha.”

 

Kagome feel roughly to her knees in front of him. She took his face into her hands and looked deeply into his eyes.

“Tachi…is that you?”

 

“I'm flattered you remember my name, my Lady.”

 

“You've grown so much in the past centuries. You were but a pup the last time I held you. And my friend-no….family; their still alive?”

 

Tachi kneeled in front of her respectfully. “Yes my Lady. My father wanted to take you with us so badly when they divided the three worlds, but the human race was still far too weak to protect themselves and knew that one day, you would return to Japan and then you and he could finally be together like it should be.”

 

Kagome stood and turned around and looked at the three males behind her. She turned to Yuusuke.

“I know that you are half demon Yuusuke. So I know that this is nothing new to you. But I bet you all would like some sort of explanation, ne?”

 

The three dumbfounded males shook their heads in a reply. “Then I suggest that we move to the living room, my story is a long one; and I don't want to be interrupted.”

 

Kagome walked to her right to the living room and Tachi got up and happily followed her. She sat down on the love seat and Tachi sat next to her, thinking he was protecting her from the `unworthy' males. They came in and sat down in various places in the living room. Her mother, gramps, and Souta had known of her past and they would hear the story later.

 

Kagome began to tell of a story older then Tachi, of when she was dragged down the well eight years to them but to her it was 508 years. Of the Lady centipede, Yura of hair, Naraku, Sango, Miroku, InuYasha, Kouga, Sesshomaru, Shippo, and countless others. Her adventures down her own rabbit hole. The dangers she faced, then the curse of the Shinkon upon her. And how she was destined to live forever, and there was a way to break the curse, but it was never reviled to her; giving a laugh at this point, she took a sip from the tea her mother had brought for them.

 

She continued to tell them of her 500 year life, training with Sesshomaru, ruling by his side and slowly being taught how to be a Lady of the West. How it was she, though didn't give birth to Tachi, mothered him like no demon could. It was from her personality that he got his playful and youthful attitude about him.

 

Tachi beamed with pride that his lady was speaking so highly of him.

 

She continued to tell them of the disappearance of the youkai and how she was stuck ruling Japan for about 250 years and for the past 100 she was roaming the earth, just trying to occupy her time. And ended with how she got back home and such.

 

She started her story at around 1 p.m. it was now 3 p.m. and she desperately wanted to know why they all had so unique auras.

 

She heard each of their stories in return and by the time they had finished it was around 5 o'clock. They were all rather hungry at this time and Kagome had forgotten why Tachi had come in the first place.

 

“My Lady.”

 

“Yes Tachi?”

 

“We must get going.”

 

“Going? Oh my gosh! I completely forgot.” Kagome thought on her family from the past; and how one day, she woke up and they were gone. She spent the next 350 years alone. Would her heart take seeing them all once again?

===============

 

Kurama, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara were just dumbfounded. Kagome had lived for 523 years. She had seen things no human being should ever see, let alone live through.

 

Kagome was talking with the one named Tachi. He was the son of the king of maiki, Lord Sesshomaru. She spoke of him as though he was just like any human. But in reality, he was the most powerful demon whom ever lived.

 

Kurama was starting to itch with anticipation, he wanted to solve the puzzle that was Kagome. Youko even more, wanted to make her writhe beneath him. Kurama pushed the mental pictures of what Youko thought she would look like naked from his mind, and concentrated on listening in on Tachi and Kagomes' conversation.

 

“Tachi. I just got home today. I'm very tired; and far too filled with my powers. If I get excited while I'm holding so much power, I could accidentally purify your father and any demon in a 5-mile radius. Give me a few days; and if they want to see me so bad, then they can come get me. I've spent more then my share looking for their sorry asses.”

 

Kurama saw Tachi nod his head and walk toward the door leading outside and away from the house. He sorta felt sorry for him. Lord Sesshomaru would not be pleased to know that Tachi came back empty handed. But it was for the best. Like Kagome said, she was much too full of power and if she got over excited, accidents could happen. And lord knows they didn't need to happen. She was as wise as long as she had been on this earth, and then some.

 

She intrigued Kurama to no end. She was beautiful, and wise; but he could tell there was another side that he has yet seen. A more playful side that shown out in Tachi. She had after all admitted that he was more like her, because she raised him for part of his life. So that meant that she was just as happy and playful as the pup was.

 

Kagome sighed and he wondered what was troubling her. He would have asked her but it seemed Yuusuke had beaten him to the punch.

=============

 

Yuusuke walked over to his mentally tired cousin. She may have been wise beyond anyone's years, but Kagome was still a woman of this time. She didn't want a hard life. She wanted to have a family, have a job, a loving husband. But instead of all that, she got adventure, danger, death, and a curse that would be the end to her sanity.

 

Yuusuke started to put his arm around her shoulders but she stopped him.

 

“If you touch me, my power will purify your blood. I'll be back in an hour's time. I suggest that you and Kurama leave for that amount of time. I'll be purifying the shrine, I don't need to dead bodies to clean up.”

 

Kagome wasn't mad, she was tired as hell. The jet lag had started to kick in and she needed to rid herself of the pure energy she had built up from the other day.

 

“Be careful, okay Kagome? Don't use up too much of your power.”

 

She smiled some at Yuusuke and Kurama as they slipped their shoes on and headed outside into the cold winter air.

=============

 

Kagome sat meditating in the main house of the shrine, her body glowing a bright pink. She was there in a trance for a good long while, sweat practically poring down her face and chest. Her eyes snapped open, blinding white. Her aura flared and quickly enveloped the entire shrine in it. Moments later it came back to her body and she collapsed onto her back, panting heavily.

 

Kagome closed her eyes and calmed herself down some. Opening them again, they were once again her beautiful sapphire blue. She laid there for a long while looking up at the rafters, she was staring off into space again, why did her mind like to leave her?

 

She looked around at the other rafters and saw a flash of black. `What the….?'

 

Kagome closed her eyes and concentrated yet again. Sending out a small amount of her aura she brushed up against a very powerful demon's aura. It wasn't as powerful as Sesshomaru's aura was but still powerful non the less. She was at least certain of that. This one was much darker. But it was enveloped in light some how.

 

“Do you enjoy feeling my presence onna?”

 

Kagome took in the cocky attitude, and took a quick guess at whom it was.

“Hiei, am I right?”

 

“Hn.”

 

“Thought so. And by the way, I have a name. Use it. It's Kagome.”

 

Hiei looked down at the girl panting heavily, she was good- looking for a human he guessed. What made him shocked was that she could feel he was there. That had never happened before. She was no ordinary onna. He had that much figured out from her purification aura to cleanse the shrine of any bad energy.

 

But as she rested her eyes, calming down her aura that licked at his; he felt an urge to sooth her physically. He didn't like the urge, not one bit.

 

He watched from the rafters as she sat up suddenly and opened her sapphire blue orbs. She was sitting as though she were a small child, who didn't know how yet. A bright smile spread over her ever-pink lips before she turned both to him.

 

“You can come down ya know. I promise I won't purify you. I just needed to release some of my energy.”

 

She held up her hand giving what he assumed to be the `scouts honor' sign. Hiei jumped down from the rafters and was now leaning against the doorframe leading outside. He was surprised yet again by the onna when she didn't look around the room for him. `She can keep up with my movements.'

 

She averted her gaze to out the door.

“Beautiful isn't it…..I've seen the sunset so many times, but I never thought I would see it from my home again.” Kagome gave a small laugh and turned her gaze back on the fire apparition “You remind me so much of him when you stand like that. You have the same kind of attitude of….well….lets just say an old friend of mine.”

 

Hiei, in a way, wanted to know more about this girl. She didn't fear him, but with her power she could beat the King of Mikia himself. She seemed so carefree right now. Taking his gaze off the girl he looked out the door again, the sun had finally set and the stars were beginning to shine.

================

 

Kagome stood from her place on the floor and went to light the lamps, and start the fire to keep the inside warm, from the frigid cold outside.

 

“Come in from the cold and shut the door. You're letting the heat escape.”

 

She could tell Hiei didn't want to listen to her, but she seemed to have the same charm on him that she did Sesshomaru. She would have to be careful with this one though. She had unwittingly made Sesshomaru fall in love with her.

 

She thought back to her past. He asked her to be his mate. And she told him no. She had good reason though. If she were his bride, then she would possibly never see her family again. Yes, she did love him. But he understood her reasoning and let her stay by his side all the same. She was happy for him when he finally mated. He constantly told her though, that she would always be first in his heart. It was she that melted the Ice Prince and made him see things in a different light.

=================

 

Hiei watched by firelight, as so many different emotions pass though this woman's eyes. Happiness, sadness, loneliness, regret, and…..longing.

 

She was remembering something. And if he reminded her of someone who could make her feel so many different emotions, he didn't want to see pain come to this woman's eyes, who for some odd reason, he hadn't killed yet.

 

From different persons' point of view, it looked as though they were old friends just enjoying each-others presence. They sat there, in a pleasant silence. Almost, just for a moment, Kagome felt as though she were back in the feudal era, sitting by Sesshomaru and InuYasha, as they spoke of what western territory they would protect. It was only for a moment though, considering that she could hear police sirens going off around two miles away.

 

Kagome and Hiei were brought from their own thoughts by Kurama and Yuusuke walking though the door quite loud if Kagome did say so herself. The peace being shattered by the rather loud boy had Hiei standing up and Kagome looking rather annoyed at her cousin.

 

“Yo, Kagome!”

 

Kurama just nodded his hello. She liked the quiet and very polite man. Though she may have to pull out his playful side later. But that would come soon enough.

 

“Oh hello Yuusuke, hello Kurama.” She said this with a happy tone. “How was your evening out? Good I trust.”

 

Kagome was slightly making fun of the polite man, in her own way at least. It wasn't picking on him per say, more like poking fun.

 

Kurama caught onto this in an instant, as did Hiei.

 

/She's making fun of you fox./

 

~You don't think I know don't this?~

 

/She is a rather odd onna, don't you agree? She was dripping her purification powers just an hour before you came though that door./

 

~I know. Yuusuke and I have heard her entire story. But only after Lord Sesshomaru's son, Tachi, showed up to claim his `lady'~

 

At this Hiei was practically seething with jealousy. Someone wanted the small woman that had some how managed too not only, not fear him, but make him sit in silence by a fire enveloped in peace. She held some sort of power over him, and he didn't like it. He didn't like the feelings that were coming to the surface at all.

 

Kurama sensed his friends' distress, but as he did, so did the one of whom they were speaking. They both watched as said woman turned her head to look at both of them with questioning, yet comforting eyes.

 

~Can she sense your distress?~

 

/How am I sopose to know fox, I have barely spoken with her. And when we did speak, she did all the talking./

 

Kurama cut the channel between him and his friend, Hiei was getting annoyed with something, and for the life of him, Kurama couldn't figure out what it was.

=================

 

Yuusuke looked to Hiei, then Kurama, and then to the ever-happy Kagome. Was there something going on that he didn't know about?

“Okay, if you guys are having some kind of `mind conversation' just tell me so I can leave and be around `normal' people.”

 

Kurama and Hiei looked over at their frustrated companion, then to a giggling Kagome. She was practically rolling on the floor with laughter.

 

“What's so damn funny!?”

 

Between gasps for air Kagome finally got out what she was laughing about. “We've been sitting here-” Kagome laughed some “in silence. I can't read minds Yuusuke, but I can read feelings.” She laughed more, clutching her throbbing muscles. “And buddy, you are confused as hell.” She turned her attention to Kurama “Yours are calm, but you're wanting something. And you” Kagome turned her amused blue eyes onto the stoic youkai. “You're angry and jealous about something. And that makes me giggle”

 

Kagome fell backwards laughing more. All three males looked at her like she had finally gone crazy. Maybe after centuries of power build up, she had finally snapped.

 

Kurama walked over to the barely breathing woman and tried to calm her down, missing the heated glare burning holes into his back from non other then Hiei. Yuusuke didn't however. Starting to put two and two together, realization hit him like a ton of brick.

 

Hiei had feelings for Kagome.

 

But looking at Kurama, he put four and four together and realized that Kurama had feelings for Kagome as well.

 

Could his cousin have any better or worse luck?

==============

 

Kagome standing up suddenly brought all males roughly from their thoughts. “I have a great idea! You guys wait here!”

 

With that the surprisingly now hyper girl ran from the empty shrine room and nearly fell turning the corner at the doorway.

 

“What the hell is she doing?”

 

“I have no idea Yuusuke. I guess all we can do is sit and wait for her return.”

 

Hiei stood, leaning against the wall as Yuusuke and Kurama sat by the warm fire. Moments later Kagome came running back into the room holding a small stereo and carrying her CDs.

 

Kagome plugged in the stereo and put a CD in, and turned around facing them with a bright smile on her face.

 

Yuusuke's eyes widened and he started to inch toward the door, he knew what that smile meant; and it wasn't good!

 

Kagome quickly ran over to him and blocked the door leading away from her soposed surprise. “And just where do you think you're going Yuusie?”

 

Yuusuke physically tensed and gulped hard. “Uh……I…I needed…fresh air! That's it! I needed fresh air!”

 

“Oh but Yuusie, you've been outside far too long today. And besides, I wanted to show you a surprise.” Kagomes' words dripped with the sweetness of each word. But quickly Kagomes happy demeanor changed. “So get your butt back by the fire.”

 

Yuusuke stayed put.

 

“Have it your way.”

 

Yuusuke was `man-handled' roughly to his spot by the fire, by non-other then the happy girl herself.

 

Kurama was slightly shocked at the strength the girl possessed; so he decided that it would be best for him to stay where he was sitting.

 

What was in store for them, they had no clue. This girl was just full of crazy ideas, they could just tell from Yuusuke's reaction to her fake smile and cheeriness.

 

Kagome turned to the awaiting males from the center of the room. “I feel like playing teacher….”

A/N: Dear Purefire16, I had about half of this chapter written when you left that review. Can you read minds or something?

 

Another short chapter. I know. I feel really bad that I couldn't make it any longer, but I'm going to start to work on my next chapter soon while my idea is still fresh in my little brain. It will be funny I can tell you that. And regarding the pairing. More males will come into play for Kagomes heart. Who will win her over. She admitted in this chapter that she DID love Sesshomaru, are the feelings still there? Can sparks flare back to life, or will some one knew enter Kagomes heart and make her feel like she's never felt before.
