Annaku—I was thinking? O_o Thanks for reviewing.

 

InuKitsuneMiko—Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

 

Ashtonreed—Hm…I haven't figured out what to do with the characters I brought back or the ones I killed, but the story will have a happy ending so no worries. I actually have the first chapter written to my new story that I decided to start since many people wanted Inu/Kag/Hiei, myself included. ^___^ It'll be out soon, I hope.

 

Kuramas gurl—Hm…I don't remember what I did with tenseiga, but I'll think about it. ^__^

 

kogas_mate—Don't worry, there will be happy chapters soon. ^_____^

ice_princess_1185—Thanks! But don't worry, Tsuyoi won't always escape. ^-^

 

Neko youki—Thanks so much for your review! I'm glad you like the story. As for reviews, I like your review. Frankly, if people only typed a single number on their review I'd still be happy. (I love responses though.) ^__^ Hiei/Kag has won; however, I'm in the process of writing an Inu/Kag/Hiei.

 

Hikari no Yume—Sorry it wasn't clear. Kagome gained the ability to read minds from her ancestral lines on her father's family. Somehow, she had inherited the unique powers of each of her ancestors. I never really elaborated on all of her powers. I guess I should have. Oops. Thanks so much for reviewing my chaps. I feel so loved. Bah, so what if my muse has deserted me; with reviewers like you guys, I can do anything! I'm glad you like the story!

Chapter 14: The Best Way to Cure Sorrow…

Sesshomaru picked up Kagome and stood, turning to Hiei. Silently he handed his precious bundle over to the apparition with a warning look. As much as he didn't want to, he knew Kagome loved the short youkai and would need him. Inuyasha made to protest, but Sesshomaru shot him a cold glare that could freeze the world. Hiei clutched Kagome to his chest, careful not to hurt her. With great speed, he raced away from the chaotic remnants of the battlefield.

Inuyasha stared longingly toward Kagome, but he knew he had lost her. His head hung in defeat as tears fell from his eyes. `I'm sorry Kagome. Now I understand how much I hurt you.' Ears drooping, Inuyasha made his way to Kouga and picked him up. The wolf deserved a good burial, even if he was as annoying as hell. Inuyasha looked over at Shippou, Kirara, and Sango, who hugged Miroku to her chest. Yusuke held Kuwabara while Kurama walked beside them.

Wordlessly, Sesshomaru opened a portal and stepped through, his regal form silently beckoning the others to follow. In second, they were in Koenma's office with a sweating Reikai prince.

“Toddler, you're bringing Kuwabara back. NOW.” Yusuke propped Kuwabara against a wall and leapt over the desk to seize the front of the small ruler's shirt.

“Yusuke! Let me go! I can't bring him back. Father would kill me…especially since he just found out about me reviving the ancient warriors.”

“Koenma.” Both Yusuke and Koenma stopped their struggles at the could voice. “You are to bring the ningen back. But only him.” He added the last sentence when he saw Sango move forward. He turned to the taijiya and said with the slightest twinge of compassion. “To bring back one who has died twice is inviting misfortune. He would no longer be the same person.” Sango nodded in understanding and stepped toward Koenma.

“I wish you to return me to Reikai.”

 

 

Hiei took her home and tucked her in bed. He sat beside her and stroked her hair, watching as she snuggled closer to his warmth. His heart tugged when he saw tears fall even in her sleep. “Gomen ne koi. I wish I could take back everything. I should have been able to protect you.” He whispered as if afraid to shatter the peaceful silence. Kagome shifted in her sleep and wrapped her arms around his waist, whispering his name as she buried her face into his thigh. He growled slightly when he remembered the tear that fell from her eyes in Tsuyoi's chambers. He would die for controlling Kagome.

Kagome jerked awake suddenly with a strangled cry. Images of her dead friends flashed through her mind. She turned to see Hiei gazing worriedly at her. “Gomen ne Hiei.” Hiei pulled her into his arms and murmured into her hair.

“What are you apologizing for. I'm the one who's sorry.”

“For everything I've done…for causing everyone so much pain. I'm so sorry.”

Hiei growled and pulled Kagome around to face him. He saw the pain evident in her eyes, and all he wanted was to disperse that look of sadness. Lowering his head slowly, he captured her lips in a gentle kiss, running his tongue soothingly against her mouth. His hands caressed her back, making shiver dance up her spine. Claret eyes stared lovingly at her closed ones, trailing over the slight flutter of her eyelashes over her cheeks. She moaned lightly, the kiss having swept away all her previous thoughts.

The apparition reveled in his effect on her. Gazing into her eyes uncertainly, he asked, “Will you be my mate forever, koi? I won't ever allow anything to separate us again.” Kagome felt her heart melt at the uncertainty in his voice.

“Hai, mate. Mochiron. (Of course.)” Kagome hugged him tightly, tilting her head to the side for him. Hiei licked her neck and then rained small kissed along the length of exposed skin. Finding the perfect spot, he allowed his fangs to sink into her soft skin. Groaning at the delightful taste, he lapped up the small droplets. He glanced up to see her half-closed eyes glowing red. A smirk formed on his lips as he thrust his hips up so she could feel his arousal pressing against her heat.

 

A/N: Gomen ne. ::Ducks some flying objects from furious readers:: There will be a lemon in the next chapter. I hope this chapter was okay, although slightly uneventful. Stay tuned to find out what Sango meant and what's going to happen to the rest of the gang. I'd estimate that this story will wrap up in a few chapters more. Afterwards, I will be posting my next fanfiction (currently only one chapter), a Inu/Kag/Hiei! Yay! I'm such a hentai. Hope to see you soon! R&R
