Haunted Passions
Chapter III
 
I just came up with the name for this story. With the thoughts of where it's going, I thought Haunted Passions would be excellent. I mean, she was raped and is now scared of sex because she thinks it'll be super painful. So she's haunted by those thoughts, and is afraid of her passions! I'm so smart... no, really, I am!
 
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yuyu Hakusho or Inuyasha! I wish I did, but sadly... I don't.
 
Let's talk telepathically!
/Hiei/
(Someone Else)
 
-------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Hiei just looked at the girl as she started to tremble. Again her barriers dropped and more of her memories flowed out and the jagan greedily took them in. There were memories from when Kikyo had joined the group, how her and Kagome had become friends. There were also scenes of Kikyo and Inuyasha kissing, and a longing pain exploded through her as she ran, tears streaming down her face. Memories of the fights between Inuyasha and herself, all the harsh words he had spoken to her. The others disbelieving looks as she told everyone how the jewel had been re-shattered. How Kikyo had stepped in and said she spoke the truth. Then came the memories of the others trying to apologize for it. The girl accepted and allowed their friendships, but refused to trust completely.
 
Then the barriers rose again. Dulled sapphire eyes looked at him and were completely unguarded. In her gaze he could see the pain she held, the fear, and there were many other emotions. The girl sighed as she laid down. "I'm... going to go to sleep." She whispered as her eyes slid slowly shut. Hiei could not help but think of how lonely she looked and sounded in that moment.

The inu group were still trying to find her when they felt the wave of power. Whispers were heard upon it, telling them that she was fine and to return to the village. Everyone looked to Inuyasha as if asking what they should do. He merely shrugged at them. "I guess we head to the village then. It ain't our fault if something happens to her because she wanted us to leave."
 
"I think Inuyasha is right. If Kagome's capable of sending the message, she must be doing ok. We're not finding her as is, so I agree to waiting for her at the village." Miroku.
 
"I suppose." Sango murmured.
 
"Then it's agreed." Kikyo stated. "Let us be on our way."

Light shone within the walls of the cave, and the rays that caressed her skin woke her. Sapphire eyes slowly surveyed where she was, and noted that the demon was gone. Slowly, she pushed herself up into a sitting position. Her muscles were once again sore, so she decided to meditate. Assuming the position ((get your minds outta the gutter people)), her entire body relaxed as she withdrew into her mind. Her skin glowed as her powers rose to the surface. In her mind she practiced the use of her powers, trying to gain some control. To her outside surroundings, she is all but gone. Her powers allowed her to blend into her surroundings.
 
Fifteen minutes later, the fire demon returned and didn't see the girl anywhere. Though he could still feel her power. The jagan flared to life and centered on where the power was coming from, showing him that she was still in the cave. He was surprised to see that she could blend in while meditating. Moments after he walked in, her power receded and she came out of her meditative state with a small smile. Hiei looked over at her before turning back to his meal. "There's venison if you want some."
 
Nodding her head, Kagome stood and walked over to the meat. Taking a piece, she placed it over the fire to cook. Once it was decently done, she took it off and began to eat it. "Thank-you." She whispered calmly as she finished.
 
"Do you know where your group is?"
 
Looking up at him, she thought for a moment. "The wave of power I let off yesterday carried a message to them, telling them to head for the village."
 
Raising a brow, he looked at her. "They'd leave you out here alone? You don't seem the type to be able to survive very well."
 
"I doubt they care too much. I'd be able to manage if I had my bow and arrows, but I can still make it if need be."
 
"Are you capable of finding Naraku?"
 
Her body tensed at the name, but she nodded slowly. "H-hai."
 
"Then I will be joining your group. I want to end his life."
 
Nodding, she slowly stood. "Inuyasha will not like it, but that doesn't matter." Turning fully to him, she smiled minutely. "Will you be accompanying me to the village then?"
 
Rolling his eyes at her, he stood. "Is there another way to join your group?" Blushing at her own stupidity at asking the question, she shook her head. Sighing to herself, she walked out of the cave before taking in her surroundings. "Do you know where we are?"
 
"No." She said as she shook her head. Concentrating on her link to her son, she felt the pull coming from the north. "We head this way." She pointed toward where her son was. "Shippo's in that direction, so it's where the village should be."
 
"You can sense the kit?" Hiei asked while raising a brow at her.
 
"Hai, it's a spell. I can tie my energy into an item, normally one of special meaning, and I'll be able to sense whoever it's bound to. I can reverse the spell as well so that they can sense me. I'm working on tying emotions into the spell."
 
"Interesting. That sounds somewhat like a mating mark."
 
"Hai, that's where I got the idea. Shippo explained it to me." She stated as they continued walking.
 
"Can you tell how far away we are?"
 
"Walking like this, I'd say five, maybe six days. The others in my group had a one day head start, but if Inuyasha carries Kikyo and Sango and Miroku ride Kirara, it'll cut their travel time in half."
 
"I could be there faster." The demon beside her said cockily.
 
"Just how fast are you?" Casting a sideways glance, she noted that he was extremely well built. Also it seemed like he was in perfect condition for running, and he'd be pretty fast.
 
A cocky smirk formed on his face as he looked at the girl. "Care to find out?"
 
Looking at him in shock, she wondered what he meant. "You want to carry me?" She managed to ask as she swallowed, her throat now dry. She hadn't been carried since the Naraku incident.
 
"Is there a problem with my carrying you to hurry our journey?"
 
"N-no." Kagome stuttered. "I-it's just that normally people refuse to touch me." Her eyes were averted to the floor as her hands fidgeted with the hem of her skirt.
 
"I am not like most, do you want me to carry you or not?"
 
A small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the fire demon beside her. "Please... Would you?"
 
Nodding, he rolled his eyes at the girl as he lowered himself so she could climb onto his back. Easily she slid into place, surprising the demon beneath her. So she's used to traveling like this. His hands gripped her thighs as he jumped into a tree, spring boarding off the branch and traveling through the trees. Her body pressed more firmly against his as her hold tightened. Seeing that she was fine with the way he was traveling, he sped up, earning a delighted squeal from the girl. Smirking, he nudged her mental barriers. Feeling the nudge, she lowered her barrier to allow him in. /So you like to go fast?/
 
His voice was laced with amusement when it entered her mind. (Hai!) She chirped through the link. (I haven't traveled like this in soo long.... You're way faster than Inuyasha.)
 
/Do you want to go faster?/
 
He could feel the excitement through the mental link, so he already knew her answer. (Take me as fast as you can, please?) She knew she was begging, but she didn't care. She loved traveling this way. The wind blew into her face as her hair whipped around her, the feeling almost as if she were flying, she felt so, so free! Her eyes closed as she leaned her head against the demon's shoulder, taking in his scent of smoke and pine. He felt so warm. Kagome didn't know why, but she was starting to feel safe. More so than when she used to be with Inuyasha.
 
After hearing her question, Hiei smirked. So she wants me to take her as fast as I can? His speed increased drastically and the scenery became barely even a blur as they rushed past. The girl on his back squealed in surprise, and joy rushed through the link. Squeezing tighter, her breasts pushed into his back as she tried to melt into his body. Hiei had to admit that she felt good pressing into him like that.
 
It was a few hours later that Hiei slowed down and let her off. She was half asleep, but she immediately woke upon feeling him slow. Realizing that they'd be making camp for the night, she went about fetching sticks to start a fire. As soon as she had it all ready, the sticks suddenly ignited. Yelping, she stumbled back and looked up at the smirking demon. Amusement was clearly seen in his eyes at her being startled. Before she could say anything to him about scaring her, he disappeared, only to come back ten minutes later with two rabbits. Noticing this, Kagome looked around and grabbed two sticks that would be perfect for roasting them. Then she went into the woods a little ways to find certain herbs that she'd seen while gathering the sticks. After returning, she seasoned both pieces of meat. When they were done fifteen minutes later, she handed one to Hiei and happily started to eat her own. Hiei took his and jumped into a tree. At his first taste, he found it to be rather pleasing. The girl obviously knew how to cook to appease a demon.
 
As soon as Kagome finished her own meal, she moved to a tree that was close to the fire and leaned against it. The bark was hard and rough against her back, but she could deal with it. Closing her eyes, her last thoughts were of her kit and the fire demon who was journeying with her. Her dreams were rather enjoyable, as they entailed Hiei carrying her through the forests. Feeling free, weightless, peaceful even as they flew through the air. It seemed as if he never touched ground as he jumped from branch to branch. She could also feel as his muscles flexed and rippled beneath her curvy form as he propelled them forward. His lithe frame felt wonderful pressed up against her own smaller one.
 
Then her dream changed a little as she felt his hands slide up her thighs which he had a tight hold on. His thumbs began stroking her inner thighs as she pressed her breasts closer to his back, her arms wrapping tighter around him. Feeling his firm chest with her hands as her mouth decided to suckle on his neck. Stopping his forward movements, he dropped down into a meadow. Looking at her in thinly veiled lust, she felt herself getting wet. Slowly he stalked up to her with a predatory look, his eyes telling her that she would be his prey. Heavily lidded eyes stared back at him as he circled her. Then he pounced, pinning her hands above her head as he leaned down to devour her mouth in a heated kiss.
 
Shooting up from the tree she looked around and cursed herself. "Dammit! I can't believe this..." She groaned as she realized her problem. Quickly spreading her energy through the plants, she found a source of water and practically ran to it. Never did she notice the demon staring at her, eyes somewhat tinted with lust.
 
He had been lightly sleeping when the scent of her arousal wafted up to him. Looking at her in surprise at first, he quickly moved himself to a different tree so that he could ignore her and return to sleep. Though he was quite curious why she would be having such dreams, since he knew she was afraid of those kind of activities. He could tell that she was by the way she acted. She was scared that it'd be as painful as it was when Naraku took her. His attention snapped back to her when he heard his name whispered. She's dreaming about me? Her scent suddenly spiked and filled the entire clearing, causing his body to react. Groaning, he ignored it. She was, after all, a mere ningen. Shortly after, she shot up from her sleeping position and began cursing herself as she appeared to spread her aura into the plants. A moment later, she took off toward where he knew water was. After a few minutes, he followed her curiously.
 
Kagome hadn't noticed that he had appeared in a tree near enough to hear her. "I can't believe this, I haven't had any dreams about anyone in years since Naraku, and now I have to have one about Hiei! He'd probably kill me if he knew!" Continuing to complain to herself, she didn't notice the surprise that showed on the hidden fire demon's face. Suddenly the girl moaned and he looked over at her. "Knowing my luck I'm falling for him... great, another guy I can't have!" False enthusiasm laced her voice as she spoke. "Figures... I'm wanting a demon but there's no way I'm ever going through that pain again." Sighing, she turned and went back to the camp, leaving the surprised fire demon to remain hidden in the tree.
