A/N: I’m back! I don’t own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho. I just realized I forgot to say I don’t own Yu Yu in the last chapter. O_o Please review! Just so ya know, I’m still having problems with seeing all my reviews on mm.org, so I might not have your review on here, but I’ll try my best to get them. Thanks to Scent of Lavender for your help with the review situation but I really don’t want to keep sending myself reviews. I asked the mm.org people to take it from the review list thing, but last time I checked, it was still there even though they said they’d take it off. ::sigh:: Anyways, in appreciation to Scent of Lavender, I’m going to ask you to check out her xover, The Evil in Us All. ^__^

Chapter 4: Enemy Revealed
The tentacle sped toward the miko, but she didn’t move. Her face was still as emotionless as before, but a tear trickled down her cheek, unseen by all but the fire apparition. At the last moment, Kagome dodged the root arm. She reached out a hand, and it turned to ash. “Naraku. So my arrow didn’t kill you.”
“Kukuku. It did kill Naraku.” Kagome’s eyes widened fractionally. “I am not Naraku. Rather, I am his last…child. All the others passed with time, not able to endure the changes, but I was stronger. Naraku created me with the last of his power before your arrow destroyed him. I have wondered how your blood would taste for so long.” Hiei growled at the demon’s words. “You may call me Tsuyoi.” (Tsuyoi means strong or powerful. Conceited much?)
“Spawn of Naraku. I will kill you.” A ball of flame appeared in one hand and a ball of pink energy appeared in the other. “Purifying flame” Kagome shouted as the two orbs twined together and streamed at him. (I know, stupid attack name. -_-;)
“Kukuku. You think that can defeat me?” A barrier similar to Naraku’s appeared, but this one didn’t fall apart with a touch from Kagome’s purifying powers. “Kagome. I know your weakness. I hold the ultimate weapon against you. Your friends.” With that, Naraku let out a shower of tentacles toward her immobilized friends.
A scream tore though the young girl’s throat. The raw anguish in her voice pierced the air. A bright light flared from her body; her eyes flashed from brown to stormy blue to black. A black arrow appeared on her forehead and her ears became pointed. Claws grew on her hands. Sleek, black wings appeared on her back. The air around her quivered as a gust of unnatural wind scoured the room, banishing it of the miasma and freeing her friends from their binds.
“I must take my leave miko, but fear not for I will be back.” A cloud of miasma appeared around Tsuyoi. When it cleared, he was gone.

“Kagome!” Yukina knelt by the girl’s side. Kagome laid on the ground in a dead faint. She had overused her powers that day. Healing Yukina, dealing with past pain, and transforming to one of her other forms had taken its toll on her body.
Kurama gazed at the spot where Tsuyoi was a second ago. ‘^Naraku. That name is familiar. Where have I heard it before?^’ ‘Yoko, do you know who he is?’ ‘^It’s not possible for that ningen miko...er...whatever she is...to know him. If it is the same despicable creature, he died around 500 years ago at the hands of a miko.^’ ‘What is the connection between Kagome and the miko who slew him long ago?’
Everyone gathered around the unconscious miko. “Back up dimwit. She needs room to breathe” Genkai shouted at Yusuke, who was leaning over Kagome. Hiei growled lowly.
‘Why the hell am I growling over that ningen miko. If Yusuke keeps holding her I’m going to tear off his limbs. Grrr. Where did that come from. Baka onna.’
Yusuke backed away from Kagome at Genkai’s words. The only one to notice Hiei’s growling was Kurama. Just then, a portal opened and out popped Boton.
“Hello guys!” Boton chirped cheerfully. “Koenma needs you now. Genkai and Yukina too. Oh. What happened here?” Boton looked worriedly at Kagome. “Who’s she?”
“That’s Kagome Higurashi. She’s a new kid in school. Grandma said she’s a miko, whatever the hell that is, but she healed Yukina a bit ago.”
“Well...we’ll worry about that later. Koenma’s waiting. Hiei, you stay and watch over her. C’mon you guys, we got to go!” Boton opened another portal and stepped in. The others followed after her. Hiei stood for a second and then bent to pick up the girl.
“Hn. I’m stuck babysitting a ningen.” Hiei took off towards his house in the forest. (Ok. So he doesn’t have a one, but I’m the author so now he does!) His house was built like one from the Feudal Era, complete with rice paper sliding doors and tatami beds, not to mention a few (mini-forest) trees in the courtyard and surrounding the house. He entered his room, seeing as it was the only one that he bothered to furnish, and placed her on his bed. (Gah! That last paragraph got deleted a couple times cause my computer kept dying.) He gazed down at her and his scowl softened. He took in the raven hair fanned around her head, her soft pale skin, and her full, red lips. His gaze followed her lips to her neck and began to travel lower until he stopped himself and scowled again.
“Hn. What are you doing to me.”
“Ugh. What happened? Where am I?” (By the way, Kagome’s back to regular form.) Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Hiei. “Hey, you’re Hiei, right?”
“Hn.” ‘Did I just imagine it or did her eyes just lighten in color?’
“I’ll take that as a yes. Where am I?” Hiei was about to use the Jagan to speak telepathically when he met a barrier in her mind and flew across the room to hit the wall. “Kami, are you okay? Hmph. That’s what you get for trying to enter my mind.”
Hiei stood and in the flash of an eye, appeared before Kagome with his katana at her throat. Red eyes appeared close to her sparkling blue eyes. ‘Wait a minute. Blue?’ “Ningen. Explain yourself. What are you.” Kagome shivered at the feel of his hard body against hers as he held her down and the low growl of his voice. Hiei looked surprised for a moment before he grinned. The scent of her arousal teased him. He lowered his katana and gazed at her heatedly, his blood singing to take her. He lowered his head toward hers and seized her lips in a crushing kiss.
Kagome gasped as his tongue ran along her lips and pushed inside forcefully, devouring her mouth. Heat gathered between her legs. Her arms began to wrap around him when he pulled back suddenly. “What are you woman?” Kagome watched as a confused look passed on his face. She didn’t know why, even after all that Naraku had done to her and her experiences with Inuyasha and other demons, she felt she could trust this demon. Hiei watched as the emotionless mask faded from her face.
She smiled at him, warming him. “If you must know, then let me show you.” Kagome sat and drew a reluctant Hiei onto the bed beside her. She reached a hand up to the bandana across his forehead. She held Hiei’s hand when he attempted to stop her. Drawing off the white band, she whispered, “Awaken jagan, I welcome you into my past.” The jagan eye opened to gaze at her while Hiei sat stunned. He had control of the jagan, not her. Hiei couldn’t ponder over it any longer as memories flooded his mind through the jagan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Within the Jagan~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Mama, where did daddy go?” In five-year-old Kagome’s mind is a picture of her father. A tall man with eyes that radiated with love. Eyes that changed color with mood as hers did. Another image stood behind her father. Her grandparents. One with black wings, one with white. Behind them, her great-grandparents and so on. Each with wings of different colors.
“He needed to go away for business, honey.” A sad look was in her eyes.
“When will he be back mama?”
“Oh my little girl, I don’t know.”

“Daddy, when will you come back?” A seven-year-old Kagome sat on top of the shrine steps, gazing at the skies. Small black wings protruded from her back, changing color every so often as her eyes did.
“Kagome dear, come inside, it’s cold.”

“Mama, where is daddy?” A ten-year-old Kagome asked.
“Kagome. I have to tell you something. Your father died a few days after he left. He went to protect us from those who wish you dead.” Tears fell from her face.
“Momma, it’s not true. Daddy can’t be dead. He can’t be. Who did he need to protect us from? Why? No. No. Daddy isn’t dead. He isn’t. You’re lying!” Kagome shouted at her mother and then collapsed against her in tears.
“I’m sorry baby, I’m so sorry.”

“Mama, what was daddy? What am I? I’m different aren’t I.” Eleven-year-old Kagome asked.
“Your father was a demon of sorts. He said he was of an extinct race. Not quite demon, not human, not god or goddess, or any other being. Each generation, he told me, is different. Each of his relatives has a different power. He told me once that you seemed to have inherited all of them. His power was the sight. Your father once told me that you are the reincarnation of some miko named Midoriko, although I don’t know how it is possible.”

“Mama, do you have to hide my wings?” Thirteen-year-old Kagome asked as her mother sat chanting something under her breath.
“Yes my dear.” A tear slipped down her cheeks. “Forgive me Kagome.”
“For what mama?” Kagome’s mother placed a spell of sorts on her, encaging all her memories of demons and such in the back of her mind. Her spell concealed all inhuman attributes.
“The spell won’t lift until I die. I hope this will keep you from danger” Kagome’s mom whispered.

Then Hiei saw Kagome being pulled down the well, meeting Inuyasha, meeting the others, their adventures, Kikyou, Sesshomaru, Kouga, Naraku, the final battle, the death of her family, Kuwabara’s dodged punch, everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end Within the Jagan~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During Hiei’s escapade in Kagome’s mind, Kagome had ended up leaning against him. A single tear fell from Hiei’s eyes for the first time in his life since he was but a child. It dropped to Kagome’s lap as a black tear gem. Kagome looked up at him in surprise. As she had shown Hiei her past, he had shown her his. Taking the gem from her lap, she brought it to her lips and kissed it while holding his gaze.
“Thank you Hiei. For showing me your past.”
“Hn.” Kagome giggled for the first time in a long while. She slipped her arms around him in a hug.
“You know what Hiei? Even though I’ve only known you for a day, I feel as if I’ve known you for an eternity.” Kagome wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. Without knowing it, Hiei had found a way past the hardened wall caused by all her pain. He hesitantly hugged her back. And it seemed that she had found a way into Hiei’s heart as well. When they pulled back from the hug, they looked at each other. Kagome leaned forward and placed a kiss on the jagan,
Hiei was hard pressed not to groan. Who knew that the jagan was so sensitive.
