Dark Inu Fan—Was the chapter still okay even though you weren't in the mood? Thanks for reviewing!

 

kogas-mate05—I know, Hiei did sorta accept her quickly. When I write longer fics, it usually loses its spark by the end, so I tend to move things quickly. But Hiei and Kag did have the whole jagan bonding thing. Let's just say it was love at first sight. Hiei…::drool:: Tsuyoi is Kagome's new enemy. He is stronger that Naraku even though he's Naraku's attachment. Um…I don't want to give anything away…I'll try to make things clearer about him. If you still have questions, feel free to ask! ::gobbles up reviews and grins as she encounters questions:: Wow! 55 out of 10! ::falls out of her chair…climbs back and stares into computer screen.:: OMG! I didn't read it wrong! I love you! ^______^

 

iyfanatic—$%@#! You guessed right. WHAT! Did you just call that evil B@#$%!& hot! ::a pot emerges and an enraged authoress looms over iyfanatic:: Hiei's hotter right? RIGHT? You liked the lemon? YAY! Sugar. I like sugar. I love sugar. Yum. Here's an update.

 

silverangel207—NO! Not the pb chibi's! ::runs and tries to hide behind a sunflower:: Sorry, but I can't answer about Inuyasha and his wish. It's a surprise. ^__^ I was sorry to have Rin die too, but I couldn't handle all the characters. @__@ Well he cares for Kagome in my fic, so… Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 7: Inuyasha

Far away from the newly mated couple sleeping on the bed, a dark laugh rang through the air. Hidden from the eyes of the spirit world and earth's warriors, a dark mansion stood in a deserted battle field. Sinister red eyes peered into sinister red eyes. Over and over again. Red, red everywhere. Unending sea of red. Lying in wait. Waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

 

Kagome tossed in her sleep. Images of red and black blurred in her mind as she struggled to recognize what the sight was showing her. Something was wrong; she could feel it. Someone was waiting for her. But who. The images began to fade and shift to something else. A strangled whimper escaped her lips as an image of the shrine appeared. The shrine and well house were burnt to ashes, but the Goshimboku still stood. Her heart clenched as she remembered the death of her friends and Inuyasha's betrayal. As she gazed at the tree through the eyes of her dream, something seemed off. Her eyes searched for the markers she had placed for each of her fallen friends. As she frantically looked for the markers, her eyes noticed something carved into the Goshimboku where a hanyou had once been pinned. She strained to see what was written on the tree and growled when the words just became more unclear.

Hiei woke as his mate's scent shifted in her sleep. He called to her softly (sorry if the charac's are OOC) and placed a hand on her shoulder to wake her when she didn't wake. “Wake up my mate. It's just a dream.” Kagome sat up suddenly, surprising Hiei. “Koi?” Hiei called to Kagome as she stared straight at the wall. Kagome suddenly snapped out of it and looked at Hiei.

“Can you take me to the shrine?” As Kagome asked the apparition, her lips trembled with contained emotion. “Please Hiei.” Hiei nodded and began to dress as she did the same. They took off without another word.

 

As they sped toward the shrine, Koenma was having a massive headache.

“George! Where is Boton! Go find her now! NOW OGRE!” Koenma sat at his desk in Reikai as George ran out of the room. `Why me? How many problems do I have to handle at once. As if the business with Tsuyoi and Kagome isn't enough, youkai have started to pass through the barrier separating Makai from Ningenkai. Does Lord Sesshomaru know of this? Oh where is Boton when you need her!' A few moments later, Boton appeared, looking slightly disheveled.

“You called Koenma sir?” Boton bowed at the prince of the spirit world.

Koenma gave her a strange look before he exploded. “Where have you been Boton! You disappeared from radar. I expect you will not do this again! We have a massive problem on our hands! Go to Yusuke and the others and have them patrol the borders. Find Lord Sesshomaru and alert him of the youkai that are slipping through the Kekkai barrier. GO NOW BOTON! We have A Class demons passing through when only the lower class demons should even be able to try to pass. So far no S class demons have appeared, but soon they might.” (Did I get the classes right?) Boton looked shocked as she disappeared to do his orders.

 

“Yusuke! Where are the others! It's an emergency!” Yusuke looked surprised at Boton's sudden appearance and her urgent countenance.

“What's the problem Boton?”

“A Class demons have infiltrated the barrier between the worlds. You must find Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara. Koenma needs you to control the flood of demons at the barrier. Hurry Yusuke! I have to go notify Lord Sesshomaru!” Boton disappeared once again. Yusuke ran off to find the rest of the group. He opened his communicator and called Kurama.

“Kurama! We have an emergency!” Yusuke told him what Boton had said when Kurama answered his communicator. “Can you find Hiei while I get Kuwabara?” Kurama said yes and they raced off.

 

“Kagome, why are we going to the shrine?”

“I just have to check on something.” Kagome replied. Her eyes lit as she finally saw the entrance of the shrine. As soon as Hiei let her down at the top of the steps, she took off toward the Goshimboku. When she reached it, she let out a gasp. The grave stones she had placed over five hundred years ago for her comrades were gone. She felt the tree pulse as she reached out and retracted her hand. Leaning forward, she looked at the messy words carved into the tree.

Kagome, I'm so sorry for what I did. I know my apology won't undo your hurt, but I hope you can forgive me. I love you Kagome. I only wished I had realized it sooner. I sent Kikyou to her grave. My wish on the Shikon was for our friends to be brought back in your era, although I don't know when they will appear. The jewel never said. I gave my life for theirs and I hope you believe me when I say how much I love you. I left the Tetsusaiga to the Goshimboku. It should let you take it now that you've read this message. I will always love you Kagome. You are my heart, my soul, my life. Without you I could not live. Forever yours, Inuyasha.

Hiei stood from afar as he watched his mate dash toward the tree. He closed the space between them when he saw her fall to her knees before the Goshimboku. The sun peeked thought the leaves of the mighty tree as the wind stirred its leaves. A pained cry tore from his mate's throat and he leaned over her shoulder to read the message. His eyes glowed as he read the undying love of the hanyou. He drew his mate into a hug as she sobbed in renewed sorrow.

`Oh Inuyasha, why? Why did you give your life? The jewel would have brought all of you back. I love you Inuyasha, I do and I always will. But I cannot change the past.'

Hiei flinched as he heard her sorrow-filled thoughts. His heart fell when he heard her proclamation of love for the hanyou. These thoughts were forced out of his thoughts when his nose caught the scent of powerful humans and two demons. Even if his mate loved another, he would still protect her. His eyes narrowed as the four scents approached. He snarled when he realized that he had not sensed them before. They just seemed to appear on his radar. He clutched his mate close as she continued to sob and growled as the enemy approached.

 

A/N: Please don't kill me. I'm so sorry this chapter's so short. I just can't think of what to write. So why are demons suddenly passing through the barrier? Why was Boton looking all disheveled? And who's approaching Hiei? Find out next chapter! I promise the next chapter will be longer.
