Last Time:

Kagome had a single bag as she returned to the shrine to find that Hiei still wasn't there. Pouting, she put her things away and went to speak with her mother. And the reason was because she thought Keiko had a good idea about getting an apartment together. As it was, her mother agreed with her. Deciding she'd speak to Keiko about it later, she went to her room to wait. Hopefully her mate would be back soon.

 

This Time:

 

Unfortunately for her, he didn't. Though he had spoken with her. She had felt something brush against her mind. Recognizing the feel, she opened her barrier to allow him in. He'd told her he'd be on a mission that could take a month, possibly longer. She hadn't gotten mad, she merely sighed and said ok. Then she told him that he better be with her the moment he got back... and warned that she could be with her cousin at that time. He promised and said he'd be able to find her no matter what.

 

So here she was now, moving into an apartment with her cousin. And it was without her mate's consent as he had taken off on yet another mission. But she doubted he'd mind too much. The apartment building had a wonderful view... They were on the fourth floor, but there were plenty of trees nearby. Some were tall enough to reach her window even. Plus Kagome knew that Hiei would be able to jump probably from the ground up to her window... Actually, she kinda had a balcony. Keiko had one too.

 

Their apartment was actually quite large... Then again, Kagome was quite rich. Her father had left her and Souta quite a bit of money when he had died. They weren't allowed to get it until they turned eighteen. Their father's friend had also taken over the company he had owned until they were old enough. Kagome actually ran it since Souta was only fifteen. That information was something she had been forgetting to tell Hiei... She had just told Keiko about it. And Keiko was her cousin!

 

Not that her being rich and running a company would probably matter. He was a youkai who would probably want to live in demon world eventually. Of course, Kagome wouldn't have too big of a problem with that... It's the demons that probably wouldn't like it. Deciding that what could happen later on was pointless to think about now, she continued with what she was currently doing.

 

Her, Keiko, Shizuru, Yukina, and someone named Botan were moving furniture into the apartment and then deciding where to put it. Needless to say, Kagome actually spent some of her money today. They had all gone out to decide what to get to furnish their new 'home' aka the apartment. Botan she had just met but had welcomed along. She was a blue haired and pink eyed cheery woman. Something Kagome highly doubted her mate would care for.

 

The girls had told Botan about her knowledge of 'odd' things. As they had been in the store at that time. Yukina had told her (Kagome) that Botan was a ferry girl or 'grim reaper'. That had been so funny she almost fell over laughing, but she had managed to keep it to giggling and commented that the girl didn't look very grim. That had some of the other girls laughing, including Botan.

 

So right now they were trying to figure out where to put the entertainment center... as well as the sofa, and the recliner, and the rocking chair. Wait! Rocking chair! Moving over to it, she grabbed it and moved towards her room. That chair was hers, for her balcony. Keiko had her own balcony as well... Technically their 'apartment' was an entire floor, so it was pretty spacious. Each bedroom had a bathroom attached, and there was a bathroom with sink and toilet only near the living room. It was in a hallway near the living room.

 

Their apartment actually had about five or six bedrooms. The floor above them had seven she believed. This was a new apartment building... built in the forest. Well a little ways in. It had thirteen... no fourteen floors. Thirteen wasn't used when talking about floors... it's make that floor unlucky. God how ridiculous that theory was. Not that it mattered. Changing topics, Kagome decided to count the bedrooms. Since all the girls were with them, they had bought enough beds for everyone... Which was five. Now Kagome needed to figure out how many more beds were needed.

 

"What're you doing Kagome?"

 

Turning, she looked at her friend. "I'm trying to count the bedrooms Shizu."

 

"There's eight!" Keiko called from the kitchen.

 

That confused her. "I thought there were only five or six!"

 

"I found two more!"

 

Following Shizuru back to the others, she sighed. "We don't need eight bedrooms."

 

"Make a baby room."

 

"What?" Kagome asked as she looked at Yukina.

 

"You'll need one for the baby."

 

Kagome's eyes widened and she paled slightly. "What baby?"

 

Now Yukina's eyes widened. "You didn't know you were pregnant?"

 

Thump! The girls looked at the now unconscious girl. "Guess she didn't." Shizuru shrugged as she looked at her friend.

The guys were beginning to get rather annoyed. They were unable to find anything out so far. It had been two weeks! Sure, Botan had told everyone they had gone on a mission... with the exception of Kurama's mom who was told he'd gone on a camping trip. In truth though, they were trying to figure out what a certain group of demons wanted. They also were trying to learn the names of the leaders of said group. Since they were finding out neither, things were getting extremely frustrating.

It was an hour later that Kagome woke up. She found herself in an organized living room. Sitting up, she spotted Yukina in the kitchen. Then what the girl said came back to her. She was pregnant! Oh gods... she was pregnant. Her head fell into her hands at that thought. How would Hiei react? Would he be happy? Would he be upset, mad even?

 

Thoughts continued to race through her mind and she didn't notice the ice maiden approach. "Are you alright Kagome?"

 

Jumping slightly, she looked up and nodded. "Just worried. I'm not sure what my mate will say... We never exactly talked about this. I don't even know how far along I am... and I know that I can't exactly go to a doctor and ask."

 

The ice maiden smiled. "I can find out if you like."

 

A small smile appeared on the ebony haired girl's lips. "Could you really?" At the maidens nod her smile grew slightly. "Please tell me?"

 

Yukina smiled as she placed her hands on Kagome's abdomen. Eyes widening upon realizing just how far along she was. "Oh my."

 

"What is it?" Kagome asked, now sounding worried.

 

Looking up at her Yukina smiled. "How long has it been since you've seen your mate?"

 

Thinking on it, she mentally counted the days. "About two weeks I think, why?"

 

"He may already know then."

 

"Huh? How so?"

 

"You're two months along."

 

This time, she made sure not to faint. But shock and surprise shown clearly on her face. "He would've said something though... but he had to keep leaving the last two months."

 

"Then he may not have noticed it, but with how far along you are, he'll notice it soon."

 

"What if he gets mad that I got pregnant?" She was shaking, scared that he might hate her for it. "What if he hates me for letting myself...?"

 

Yukina pulled her into an embrace. "I'm sure he'll be happy. Every demon's instincts are to reproduce, so he should be fine."

 

"B-but... you don't understand. He may not have wanted kids. His childhood wasn't the greatest."

 

Looking around and spreading her aura slightly, Yukina made sure that no one was around. They were all busy helping Yukina put her room together. A truck had appeared outside while Kagome was passed out and the men had helped carry everything into the proper rooms. "Do you want to talk about it?"

 

"Promise not to tell anyone?"

 

"Hai."

 

"He was tossed off Koorime Isle when he was a baby. Being half fire demon and half ice demon, he wasn't well liked."

 

Yukina gasped. "You...."

 

Kagome looked up at her. "I what?"

 

"You must be mated to my brother." Her eyes were wide as she spoke.

 

Kagome's own eyes widened. "He did say something about a sister, though it wasn't much. He told me he had been searching for her."

 

"He's looking for me? What's he like?"

 

"Well, he's handsome, sweet, and passionate. Though to most he appears to be cold, heartless, and unreadable. His fire side is dominant, but he has enough control that he can subdue it and use his ice abilities, like healing. Though he says it's easier to do when I'm around. He said I have a soothing presence. And he gave me this." Taking the tear gem from under her shirt, she showed it to Yukina.

 

"Th-that's a hiroseki! It's impure but it's still a hiroseki!" Looking closer, a smile appeared and she hugged Kagome tightly. "You know my brother! You're my sister-in-law!" Then her smile brightened. "I'm going to be an aunt!"

 

Yukina seemed so pure hearted to Kagome, and the ebony haired woman smiled. Then a thought struck her. "What do you know about your brother?"

 

"Besides what you told me, I know that he's half ice half fire, he doesn't look like a koorime, he has black hair, and red eyes."

 

"Would you care if umm... say he was a thief?"

 

"Is he a thief?" Yukina asked. She sounded somewhat excited.

 

Kagome smiled. "Hai... you know about normal demon instincts, right? The ones that mostly males have?"

 

"Like what?"

 

"Um... You know how men like to fight?"

 

"Hai. Kazuma loves to fight."

 

"Well demons like to... well... they enjoy killing, but most normally only kill when they have to. Despite their enjoyment from it."

 

"I understand that." Yukina nodded. "I suppose my brother had to kill a lot, and I bet he's really strong."

 

"Oh hai, he is. One of the most powerful youkai I've ever felt. And hai, he's had to kill. He feels slightly bad because he enjoyed it though. From what I heard, he had also planned to take over Ningenkai and enslave the humans, but he admitted to me he was doing it to find his sister. He hadn't been able to find her anywhere in the Makai and had decided she had to be in either Reikai or Ningenkai, Human world being more likely."

 

"I can understand that." Yukina said. "He must've really wanted to find me."

 

"Hai, he did."

 

"I think he'll be happy to know you're carrying his child."

 

"Thanks for comforting me.... sister." Kagome said as she hugged Yukina with a smile.

 

"Sister, I like that!" The ice maiden said happily.

 

After that, the two had moved to her room and started setting it up. That was simple enough. All they had to do was put the bed together, set the dresser up, and then add whatever else was needed. Then they started on the guest rooms. Shizuru joined them then. Apparently she had become tired of the other two girls messing with Keiko's room. By the time Botan and Keiko were done arranging that room, Kagome, Yukina, and Shizuru had finished Kagome's room and two guest rooms.

 

"You two get to do the last room!"

 

"Why Kag?" Keiko whined.

 

"We've done three, Shizuru helped with two."

 

"Ok..." They both said as they went into the last guest room... at least the last one they had the things for.

 

"Now, what to do with the last three?" Kagome asked out loud.

 

"The one next to your room is still empty. It can be the baby's room." The ice maiden said happily.

 

"So that room will need a crib and other baby supplies. I'll need a bassinet for my room so the baby can stay with us for a little after it's born..."

 

"Us?" Shizuru asked. "This mate of yours will be here?"

 

"Hai. He'll probably come in through the window."

 

"Sounds like someone we know." Shizuru said as she moved into the kitchen.

 

"Who's that Shizu?"

 

"Hiei."

 

Kagome froze. That wasn't a name she had been expecting them to say. Apparently they had noticed, because they both turned to stare at her. She gulped. "Y-you know H-Hiei?"

 

Shizuru just stared at her in shocked surprise. The older woman hadn't expected her to know that name. "Hai. You're not telling me you're mated to Hiei... A fire demon with a jagan and the dragon?"

 

Kagome gulped. "I need to go umm... get groceries." And she tried to run. Really, she did. But unfortunately for her, Shizuru knew she would. And the older woman had grabbed her hand a split second before she could. Dammit!

 

"Oh no you don't." Turning slightly, she called the other girls. "Now answer the question."

 

Looking around, she sighed. Hiei's going to kill me for this. "Promise you won't say a word to anybody.... and I mean anybody."

 

"Uh... I promise." Keiko said.

 

"I promise." Botan chirped happily.

 

"I promise." Yukina said quietly. She seemed slightly confused.

 

"And I promise too... Now out with it." Shizuru said.

 

"Yes Shizu. I'm mated to that Hiei."

 

The other two girls who weren't present for the earlier part of the conversation, gasped. Keiko and Botan were both in shock. Shizuru seemed very surprised. Yukina was first to speak. Her voice seemed calm, but it held confusion as well. "May I speak to you in private Kagome?"

 

She nodded and followed the other girl into her bedroom. "What's wrong Yukina?"

 

"It's just that... I know Hiei. And if he's who your mated to, then he's my brother... He knows I've been searching for my brother, but he hasn't told me who he is. D-do you think he's ashamed of me?" The ice maiden seemed close to tears.

 

Kagome quickly wrapped her arms around the girl. "He doesn't want anyone to know he and I are mated because if they did, I become a weakness to him. You see, his enemies would come after me. You're his sister, they'd go after you as well... Also, he told me once that he was afraid you wouldn't accept him because of his past. So maybe he's too afraid to tell you. He fears your rejection, and for your safety."
