Last Time:

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."

 

This Time:

 

Yukina calmed after hearing Kagome's words, though she had cried... kinda. A single tear had fallen. Kagome had quietly picked it up and handed it to the ice maiden. Said girl seemed surprised by her action. "I once knew an ice maiden. She told about the value and the trouble your tears cause. I even know a legend about how your kind came to shed them."

 

That made surprise show in the ice maiden's eyes. "You do?"

 

"Hai. I will have to tell you the story sometime."

 

"I would like that."

 

After that they had returned to the other girls. They tried getting more information about her and Hiei's relationship, but she refused to tell. Stating that what they did alone was no one else's business. Shizuru then asked if he was any good in bed. That had the other four girls blushing. Kagome however, was used to that sort of thing. Though no one had spoken to her like that in years. So her blush wasn't that deep. "Since you'll never find out, hai, he is."

 

That had the other girls blushing deeper, and Shizuru looked at her in surprise before laughing. She hadn't expected that. "At least you've got balls."

 

The ebony haired girl's eyes took on a mischievous gleam. "No, Hiei has them though. I'm a girl, remember." That had Shizuru laughing and the others, though still blushing, giggling as well.

The guys had been there a while now, and the demons kept attacking them. It was during one of these attacks that Kuwabara was injured. After the battle, in which the opposing demons died, they called Botan for a portal. She had popped over and was looking at Hiei strangely. It appeared as though she was trying not to either smile or laugh at him. "What is so funny onna?"

 

"Nothing Hiei." She said quickly, trying not to giggle... and failing at doing so. Since it wasn't working, she turned to Yusuke. "What did you need?"

 

"Kuwabara was injured. You need to take him back to Ningenkai. He'll be staying there too."

 

"Hai!" Kuwabara stepped towards her and she smiled. "I have messages as well. All the girl say they miss you and want you home as soon as possible. And Keiko said to tell you she has moved into an 'apartment' with a friend." At this she giggled. "We all helped them move in..."

 

"There's something you're not telling us." Yusuke stated as he narrowed his eyes at her.

 

"Well, the girl is really rich and the apartment happens to have eight bedrooms and makes up an entire floor. You should see the gaming systems we got for it! Oh, and the girl knows about demons! We found out when she met Yukina! Oh, and Shizuru and Keiko already knew her. I think she knows Kuwabara as well. We've actually all been staying there. Seven out of eight rooms were turned into bedrooms, and the building is actually in a forest. The girl said she chose it because her boyfriend likes tree, and she wouldn't tell us who he is." Technically not lying, Shizuru guessed. "Oh, I think she knows you as well Yusuke."

 

"Sounds interesting." Kurama stated. "What's this girl like?"

 

"Well, she's somewhat quiet and withdrawn, but she can be relatively happy. Though she seems rather melancholy unless Yukina's around." Botan stated. "She's also a very pretty girl."

 

"Who the fuck cares?" Yusuke asked.

 

Botan shrugged. "I assumed you would since she and Keiko are living together.... and since she paid for everything."

 

Hiei had a a bad feeling about this. The annoying ferry girl was refusing to say a name and it was starting to sound as if she was talking about his mate. Not to mention the look in her eyes told him that she found something amusing. "Who is this girl exactly?" He found himself asking. It seemed to surprise everyone else, but Yusuke and Kurama let it slide. Assuming he was asking because of Yukina.

 

A knowing smile appeared on her lips. "A shrine maiden."

 

"I think he wants her name Botan." Yusuke said, sounding annoyed.

 

"She told us it was Jaganashi Kagome."

 

Hiei closed his eyes and growled inside his mind. Figures it had to be his onna. And it figured that she'd tell the annoying ferry girl. His mate was going to be in so much trouble when he saw her. Noticing the ferry girl's large smile in his direction he mentally growled again. Oh yes. So much trouble. "Quit smiling at me onna." He growled out at her.

 

"What's wrong Hiei, know the girl?" Botan taunted.

 

He scowled at her. "You appear to know the answer to that already."

 

"What the fuck's going on?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Nothing." Botan chirped happily before grabbing Kuwabara. "Come! Kagome will be happy to see you."

 

Suddenly, his eyes widened. "Wait, you mean Kag? I haven't seen her in years!"

 

"Shizuru said the same thing! Kagome may seem sad at the moment, but apparently she's mated and Yukina told her something that has her worried."

 

That caught Hiei's attention. Something had Kagome worried. Well damn... He couldn't exactly do anything about that at the moment. Kurama, however, spoke up. "She's mated? I thought you said she had a boyfriend?"

 

"Well," she giggled "she told Keiko it was her boyfriend before she found out Keiko and Shizuru knew about demons. When she did, she told them she was mated but that she still couldn't tell them who."

 

"You seem as if you know, though." Kurama stated as he narrowed his eyes.

 

She smiled. "I do! Shizuru decided to guess."

 

"How did she know when she got it right?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Kagome tensed. It was a giveaway. Apparently her mate didn't want anyone knowing they were mated, but that's not the only thing she's worried about."

 

"You know what else the chick's worried about?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Hai! But I've been sworn to secrecy about that and her mate's name." Continuing to smile, she opened a portal. "I need to be getting back, we're still decorating the 'apartment'. Kagome took the best room, it's got a great view of the surrounding forest and has the largest balcony."

 

"There's balconies?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Hai. The apartment takes up an entire floor! Kagome has furnished the entire place so far."

 

"She must be loaded then."

 

"From what I heard, hai she is." With that, she pushed Kuwabara through a portal. They appeared in the living room where only Kagome was currently at. She turned to them and smiled slightly. "Hey Kagome, this is Kuwabara."

 

Her smile widened. "Kazu?"

 

He smiled as well as he went to hug her, but stopped. Laughing nervously, he looked down. "I'd hug ya, but I'm covered in blood."

 

Kagome merely giggled and hugged him anyways. "Blood doesn't bother me." Grabbing his arm, she pulled him after her. "Let's get you cleaned up."

 

It didn't take long for him to get showered and reappear in the living room. Of course, he was clad in only a pair of pants, as Kagome needed to see his wound to tend it. Looking at it quickly, she began pulling out what she needed. Her hands slid easily along his torn flesh, stitching it closed and helping it to mend easily. "Have you done this before Kag?"

 

Nodding her head, she remained focussed on her task. "Many, many times. I used to have to sew larger wounds than this shut, and bandage a hole through someone's gut." She giggled at that thought.

 

"What's so funny?"

 

"This guy I knew. He was hanyou actually. He'd be seriously injured and not care, he'd also walk around with a hole going clear through his stomach. Not complain or anything. But give him spicy food and he'd complain that it was too hot and burnt his tongue."

 

"So you've seen lots of demon fights?" Kuwabara asked curiously. Neither noticed that the other girls had returned.

 

"Hai. He'd drag me off to help him. I could sense what he was looking for, so he needed my help. It was also my fault he was looking for it, because I broke it. So we went around collecting shards of the stupid thing."

 

Now Botan spoke up. "Were you two close?"

 

"Hai... at least I had thought we were. Over the time I spent with him, we had gained traveling companions. First was a little fox kit..." A sad look overcame her eyes. "My little kit... my little boy." Tears slowly began to build, but she refused to let them fall. "Then was this guy, he was a total lech. Next we met the girl he eventually married. The guy became like my older brother, and the woman my older sister. The kit was my son. And the hanyou... he was my love."

 

"Is he the guy you're mated to?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"No he's not." Her words were laced with venom and hatred. Her body was tense from that question.

 

"Is that where you really were during that year you caught all those illnesses?" Keiko asked as she sat beside her cousin.

 

Kagome sighed. "Hai. But it was longer than a year." She had remained silent after that. Becoming more melancholy than usual.

It had been two weeks since Kazuma had gotten there. He stayed since all the girls seemed to. He stated that they needed protecting. Kagome had merely shook her head at him. He had arrived three weeks after the girls found out who her mate was. That had been two weeks after her mate had left on his mission. So all in all, it had been seven weeks since she had seen him, and she was starting to show. Of course she was three months and one week along. So it made since that she was starting to show.

 

Currently, she was on her way to her apartment. Souta was also with her. They were almost there when her eyes flashed pink. Souta noticed and he reacted instantly. "What's wrong sis?"

 

"A youkai is nearby... and it's bleeding, badly."

 

"Do we help it?"

 

"I'm not leaving it out here." Kagome said as she moved toward where she sensed it. The two moved quickly until they came upon a gruesome scene. In the middle was a female youkai. To the side was a child and an injured neko. The female was bleeding badly, she Kagome went to her first. "Are you ok miss?"

 

The youkai opened her startlingly red eyes and looked at her. A smile suddenly touched the youkai's lips. "You look like Kagome."

 

"I am Kagome." She stated as she looked over the girl's wounds.

 

"Are you really Shippo's mother?"

 

That question stunned her, and tears began gathering in her eyes. "H-hai... Wh-who are you?"

 

The youkai smiled. "Souten. Please... take care of... m-my son. Hiten... K-Koryu is d-dead... but K-Kirara is still over there.... T-tell Sh-Shippo I'm s-sorry... I d-didn't mean to... m-make him l-lose a.... m-me."

 

"Shippo's still alive?" Kagome felt faint.

 

"H-hai... Seshou-sama revived him... H-he m-mated Rin." A weak smile spread across the thunder demon's lips. "H-Hiten's f-father is... a f-fire demon... p-please... t-take good c-care of him."

 

"I will... I promise Souten." Kagome said as tears trailed down her porcelain skin.

 

"M-may I have... o-one last f-favor?"

 

"Hai, what is it?" Kagome asked softly.

 

"P-purify my b-body. When I d-die... I d-don't want them u-using me... G-give the a-ashes to Sh-Shippo."

 

"I will. I promise." Kagome said as she felt the woman's life fade away. Tears continued to fall down her cheeks as she lifted her eyes to her brother. "See to Kirara and Hiten." He nodded and rushed to the unconscious boy and bleeding neko. Kagome began to pray as she used her powers. First was that of earth, to form an urn for the ashes. Then she used purification to cremate the body as she said a prayer for Souten's soul. As well as Koryu's.

Hehehehe.... If you write it, they will come. Like moth to the flame. (Not that I'm calling you moths.)
