Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Heart of Ice ❯ Problems ( Chapter 8 )

A/N: I'm back! I have so much homework I should be doing, but I can't resist the pull of anime. ::sigh:: Oh well. I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho or else all the cute male characters (notice I said cute, so not all included!) would be my servants! Bwahahaha…::choke:: ^_^; Did my post with Microsoft Word turn out easier to read than with notepad? If so, tell me and I'll update new and old chapters with Word. My best friend, Kei-chan as I call her, was about to strangle me when I told her I wrote Hiei/Kag instead of my usual Inu/Kag. I finally got her to read a Sess/Kag not long ago.

Chapter 8: Problems

Hiei clutched his mate to his chest as his hand drew his katana. He glanced down at Kagome when she suddenly lifted her tear-stained face from his chest to gaze in the direction of the newcomers. She suddenly leapt out of his arms and left Hiei with a sense of emptiness. His hand snapped out and grabbed her wrist. “Be careful, they are powerful.” Hiei was surprised when Kagome just smiled slightly and pulled away from his grasp to continue on her way to her friends. Hiei gazed sadly and longingly at her retreating back. He sighed inwardly and opened his jagan to scan the four people. `Hn. So these are Kagome's friends that the hanyou wished back.' His heart twisted when he remembered his mate's thoughts.

Kagome stopped in front of her friends, and they stood motionless in shock for a moment before tears began to fall from their eyes.

“Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kirara…you're all alive. You're really here!” Kagome gave each a hug, and for once, Miroku kept his hands to himself. “I missed you guys so much!”

“We all missed you too Kagome.” Kirara circled around Kagome's legs as Miroku and Sango stood on each side of the miko. Finally, Shippou couldn't hold it in any longer.

“OKAA-SAN! Imissedyoudon'tyoueverleavemeagainiwassoscared!” Shippou jumped into Kagome's arms and hugged her tightly. (I missed you. Don't you ever leave me again. I was so scared!)

 

Hiei was shocked. He stood by the Goshimboku watching her friends distrustfully through slit red eyes. His eyes popped open and a deep growl escaped his throat when he heard the fox call Kagome mother. A possessive surge roared through his demon blood at the thought that Kagome had been with another. He leapt from his spot at the tree and appeared behind Kagome, startling the pony-tailed girl and the monk.

 

Shippou sniffed suddenly as a strangely comforting scent invaded his nose. He lifted his head from his mother's stomach and looked behind Kagome, who had yet to realize the reason Sango and Miroku were frozen in place with their hands on their weapons but not daring to move just yet. Shippou's eyes widened at the anger in the apparition's red eyes, and he began to tremble.

“Shippou-chan, what is wrong?” Kagome gazed down into terrified kit.

“Mama…youkai…angry…mama…” Shippou mumbled as the demon's gaze shifted from Kagome to him. He ducked his head further into Kagome's chest. Kagome looked puzzled and glanced at Sango and Miroku for answers to see them staring behind her. Kagome turned around to see a very angry Hiei. She had gotten so used to his presence, that she had not noticed anything out of the ordinary.

“Hiei, what's wrong?” Sango and Miroku relaxed slightly, but not much, for although Kagome seemed to know the furious demon, they were cautious out of fear of losing their friend after finally returning to her. Kagome handed Shippou over to Sango fro a moment and reached out to Hiei. She gasped when he suddenly pulled her to his chest, growled “mine,” and seized her lips in a dominating kiss. When they broke apart, they were met with three astonished gazes; Kirara was otherwise occupied with her new surroundings.

<You are mine.>

<Hiei? What's wrong?>

<Nothing.>

Hiei quickly cut the conversation between them so she would not feel his jealousy toward the kit and his mate's friends. He also didn't want her to know of his anguish. Hiei released Kagome from his grasp and ran off in the blink of an eye. Kagome gazed at where he had stood a moment ago with a look of confusion.

 

“Um. Kagome? Who was that? How did you meet him?” Sango asked her friend when she saw the miko was going to keep staring after the demon if someone didn't wake her from her trance-like state.

“Lady Kagome what have you been up to while we were gone?” Miroku wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he placed a hand on each of the girls' rears. (Sry. Couldn't resist. I mean…come on…it is Miroku.) It was a good thing a certain fire apparition wasn't nearby…however, who said you have to be there to know.

SLAP! SLAP! Miroku lay on the ground with swirls for eyes and a red handprint on each cheek. A few moments later he got up as if nothing had occurred and grinned happily thinking, `it was worth it.'

“As I was going to say, that was Hiei, my mate who happens to be very protective of me.” Miroku paled at the word mate. He had forgotten the angry demon for the moment and didn't want to think of what would happen to him if he found out. He gulped nervously. “Did Inuyasha tell you what happened with Kikyou” Kagome asked and continued when they nodded. “And you know about the jewel and Inuyasha's wish right?” Once again they nodded. “Okay then. After I…left the Sengoku Jidai, I came back home to find my family dead. Naraku was somehow able to pass through the well before the final battle and kill them all.” Kagome paused for a moment as a lone tear flowed out of her sad tawny eyes and made its way down her cheeks.

Shippou leapt from Sango's arms to Kagome's shoulder and reached up with a small hand to wipe off the tear. Kagome smiled softly and pulled her son into her arms for a hug. “Thanks Shippou. Anyways, I burnt down the shrine and ended up stumbling across a shrine with unusual power. I was accepted by the owner, Genkai, a master at spiritual powers, and Yukina, an ice apparition. I went to school and that's where I met Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei of course. Yusuke is the spirit detective and with the help of the others, he protects the human world from demons.”

The five of them decided to go to Genkai's to talk instead of standing in front of a pile of ashes, as well as a pile of memories.

 

Koenma sat at his desk sucking furiously at his pacifier. `Father's going to kill me. In such a short time, so many problems have risen. It can't possibly get any worse.' Koenma moaned when his secretary (in a few episodes a lady in black appeared who fetched info for Koenma, sorta like Boton. What's her name? Anyone know?) entered and began to speak.

“Koenma-sama, I have been keeping watch on the demon appearances as you have ordered, and I've discovered something. On the grounds of Sunset Shrine where the fire apparition and Miss Higurashi were, two humans and two demons have appeared. It has also come to my attention that four spirits are missing from Reikai.”

“WHAT!” Koenma dismissed her and then sank into his seat. `I'm doomed. First Kagome, then this Tsuyoi character, then the barrier infiltrations, and now uncharted humans are appearing and spirits are missing from the Spirit World! Oh, when father finds this mess, I won't be able to sit for a year.'

 

Boton opened a portal to Makai and quickly made her way toward the towering gates of Sesshomaru's castle. When she reached the gates, a towering oni appeared.

“Who goes there?”

“I must speak with Lord Sesshomaru immediately!” Boton tried to fly past the demon but was unable. It reached out and clasped her in one large hand.

“Little girl, you have no privilege to see the king of Makai.”

“Let me go you big oaf! The prince of Reikai sent me.” Just then a small green toad-like figure came toward the entrance.

“Kasue! What is all the racket. Me lord is resting.” Jaken approached the big demon and saw the lady of death in his grasp. “What is the meaning of this. Release her.” `What is the ferry girl doing in Makai.' “Boton, what is your business here?”

“Jaken, I must see Lord Sesshomaru. I have an urgent message from Koenma.” Jaken thought for a moment about the punishment he might receive if he disturbed his lord, but then thought about what his lord would do if he wasn't notified of important information.

“Come with me.” Jaken led Boton into the grand castle to a set of large doors with a crescent moon and a large dog demon engraved on it. Jaken knocked on the large doors. “Me lord, the lady of death has come with important business for you. Me lord?”

The door swung open suddenly, taking them by surprise. “I heard you Jaken, no need to repeat. Leave us.” Sesshomaru's cold voice exited the room. “Come Boton. What brings you.”

Boton entered and bowed quickly. “Lord Sesshomaru, Koenma set me to see if you knew that there have been breaches in the Kekkai barrier. A Class and S Class demons have been able to cross. This should not be possible. Were you aware of this Lord Sesshomaru?”

“No I was not.” Sesshomaru had a thoughtful look on his face, well, not that someone other than Kagome could actually tell. “Return to Koenma and tell him I will be there shortly.” Boton nodded and vanished. Sesshomaru disappeared after her.

 

“Kuwabara! To your left!” Yusuke shouted as a demon charged toward him. “Damn it, where are Kurama and Hiei! SPIRIT GUN!” Yusuke frantically fought the flood of demons coming from the Makai. Yusuke was seriously beginning to doubt that he and Kuwabara would survive. Sure he had beat Toguro but that had been one on one. This time, there were a good many S and A class demons against just the two of them. Both were bloody and exhausted.

 

While Kurama raced to find Hiei, who had hidden himself, Kagome suddenly stopped in her conversation and stood.

“What's wrong mama?”

“Demons. Lot of them. We have to go.” They all stood and then watched in surprise as a large black hole appeared before them. “It's a portal. We can get there faster this way.” All of them stepped in. A second later they appeared in the midst of the battle.

 

“Hiraikotsu!” Yusuke looked up and gaped. Flying over him was a girl on a big cat with a boomerang thing. He watched in amazement as the weapon sliced through the demons and returned to her. A second later, he heard a shout of fox fire and saw a little fur ball throwing turquoise flames everywhere. He glanced to his other side at hearing a yell from Kuwabara. His eyes widened as he saw a demon about to plunge its claws into his friend. As he tried to run to him, he saw a flash of gold and dark purple. His ears picked up the sound of jingling. He stopped his run toward Kuwabara and blocked a claw. When he turned back to Kuwabara, he saw a man in purple robes with a staff block the demon and send it reeling back. He was even more surprised to see Kagome there as well. Yusuke turned his concentration back to his fighting when he felt the impact of a fist at his side.

 

Koenma turned on the TV in his office and pinpointed Yusuke's location. When he looked at the screen he gasped. There on the screen was Yusuke and Kuwabara fighting hordes of demons, but that wasn't what surprised him. There in the melee were the missing spirits back to life. The taiji-ya, the houshi, the kitsune, and the fire neko youkai. Koenma jumped in his seat when Sesshomaru appeared beside him.

“So it has begun. It is time Koenma.”

“Are you sure Lord Sesshomaru?”

“Do you question me? It is time. The jewel has brought them back, but we will need more to fight our upcoming battle.”

“Very well.”
