Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Holy One From Hell ❯ A new home, Let's make it work!! ( Chapter 3 )

Kagome walked in the front door as she stripped off her shoes she locked the front door and headed toward the back to check that it had been locked. She walked to her room, and lay upon her stripped bed, passing out as soon as her head hit the mattress.

 

The next morning

 

Across town, Shiori stood in the middle of her guest bedroom looking at the emptiness that she had created to give her niece space to spread out.

 

“Mother, you've cleaned that room enough. Don't you think you should relax?” A tall bright red head said standing in the door way pulling on a light blue button down shirt.

 

“I was just looking Suichi, stop worrying.” She told him, walking towards the door. He watched her with a raised eyebrow, she reached behind him and pulled his red locks from beneath his collar and fixed the collar. She then began her walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. “When will you be leaving Suichi?”

 

“Here soon mother.”

 

“Be careful.”

 

He grabbed the keys from the hook. “I will. I'll be home before noon.” He walked towards the car and glanced up into the tree to make out a black figure. “I'm leaving Hiei. I'll be back, don't cause hell.”

 

“Hn”

 

Suichi climbed into the car and sped off.

 

~*~With Kagome~*~

 

Kagome closed the trunk of her Lamborghini, and looked up at the last couple boxes sitting by the door of her home. She checked her watched, and noticed it was 8:45. She walked back into the house; she kicked off her heels and ran her hands down her light blue pinstriped pants. She took a quick glance at herself. She had pulled her hair up into a messy bun leaving a lot to hang in her face. She wore a blue halter, she looked at the jacket tossed over the kitchen chair, an engine roared up the drive way. A bright red head of hair stepped out of the car. Kagome grabbed her jacket and ran towards her cousin. She wrapped her arms around him. Suichi caught her and hugged her tightly.

 

“My dear cousin. How have you been?” Suichi asked looking down at Kagome's head of dark hair.

 

“I'm good how have you been Suichi?”

 

“As good as can be expected.” He saw Kagome nod her head. “So you have any boxes that you couldn't fit into your car?” She nodded again and pointed to the three boxes up by the door. Suichi nodded and walked up to the door with her. He popped into say hello to his aunt as Kagome put her heels on. Kun-loon had handed Suichi a loaf of bread and a plate before even got the chance to grab a box.

 

“Take those to your mother, and tell her my older sister that I love and miss her.” Koon-lun shut the door as they both walked out. Suichi placed the bake goods in the passenger seat before jogging back and grabbed the last two boxes while Kagome waited for him to pop open the little hatch back car, Suichi turned to look at Kagome's car. The black paint was speckled with red. She opened the door, and started the car reviving the engine. Suichi looked at the black interior, the accents done in red.

 

“How did you afford this?”

 

“I've got an internship with West Corp. I follow around the CEO all day. I get paid to put up with him.” She smiled. He nodded his head and stepped back to let her closed the door. He climbed in his car and back down the driveway. Kagome pulled a quick 3-point turn and watched him closely. He could hear the music she was playing in his car. As he retraced his route Kagome followed intently behind. She never lost site of him. As he pulled into his drive way Kagome pulled in beside him. He climbed out just as she did.

 

“Grab a box cuz you get to help!” She said while pressing the button to open the trunk of her car. She grabbed a box and passed it to him; he shook his head and turned back towards the house. Kagome followed merrily behind him humming a song.

 

Kagome followed behind her cousin lost in thought. `The demonic energy I felt as a child has gotten stronger within him.' She scanned the area and noticed the familiar energy. `Guess you were right little fire we would meet again very soon.' She snickered to herself, which caught Suichi's attention.

 

“What's going on in your head Kagome?”

 

“Nothing. Why do you ask?”

 

“That snicker makes me suspicious as it always has Kagome.” She snickered again. He raised an eyebrow. She gave him an innocent look; he shook his head chuckling lightly to himself as he opened the door to his home. This would now be her home. They set the boxes down in the foyer and then headed out to unload the rest. Shiori watched this small interaction between the two people she had raised with interest. Suichi seemed more at rest with Kagome around. She watched as Kagome asked for a piggy back ride because her feet hurt. Suichi gave in soon because he could never deny his baby cousin anything. She squealed with glee and jumped in his back. Shiori laughed and went back to the kitchen.

 

“Last one Kagome.” Suichi said as Kagome picked up the last and he shut the back. She skipped back to the house even though she was wearing heels. “Suichi we still have to get the boxes up to my room!” She whined as she set the box down on top of the other two they brought in before it.

 

“It can wait till after lunch Kagome.” Shiori stood in the doorway to the kitchen.

 

“Aunty Shiori!” Kagome gasped hugging her tightly. “You look absolutely amazing.” Kagome pulled away to look at her better.

 

“Thank you Kagome. You sure have grown since you were 14.” Shiori laughed. “Suichi, do you have any friend coming over for dinner?”

 

“I don't know mother I'd have to ask them.” He walked toward the phone.

 

“Do you need any help Aunty?”

 

“No, Kagome I have it under control. There's tea sitting out if you would like some.” Kagome's eyes lit up.

 

“Tea sounds wonderful. Suichi would you like a cup of tea?” She asked looking at him. He nodded; she walked into the kitchen and saw the traditional low set table. She was then glad to have taken off her heels back in the hall way. When she sat she poured two cups, and pulled hers close to herself. Suichi came walking and sat down opposite of her. He pulled his cup towards him.

 

“Mother we only have two guests tonight Yusuke's mother passed out again, and Hiei said he would like to eat here tonight.” Shiori's nod of her head and giggle meant she had something planned. Kagome watched Suichi lift his cup to his lips, blow gently and tae the first sip before she did. As she drank the tea she silently wished she could be home.

 

“So Kagome do you have a job?”

 

“Yes, I'm an intern at West Corp. and when my internship is up at the end of the month, I'll be given a full time job.”

 

“That's good, your mother must be very proud.” Kagome nodded her head, and turned her cup and took a small sip. Shiori then brought over a serving dish stuffed with oden.

 

“Suichi would you like more tea?” Kagome asked before Shiori could offer. Suichi nodded, and passed Kagome his cup.

 

They ate in silence as Shiori stood up, Kagome beat her to it.

 

“Let me clean up Aunty.” Kagome looked at Shiori and watched her nod and settle back down with her cup of tea. Kagome gathered everything and walked towards that sink. She deposited the plates in the sink, and walked towards the closet while filling the sink part way up. As she grabbed the apron and it on she saw Suichi get up and head for the stove and heat up water for more tea. He nodded to her; she returned the gesture and began to clean the dishes.

 

Kagome began to dry and put the dishes up, before leaving to take boxes up to her room. She opened the door to the guest room and sat the first of many boxes on the floor. She looked around at the empty room. She turned around and continued to carry boxes into the room.

 

“Kagome would you like any help unpacking?” Suichi popped his head to see Kagome dressing the in her dark blue bedding before moving to the box that contained her clothes.

 

“No thank you Suichi, I'll be able to do this on my own.” She looked at him. He nodded and walked down the hall to his room. She heard the door shut. She began to pull clothes from the box laying them on her bed in piles. When she had placed everything away, she laid back on her bed; the cool evening air blowing in from the cracked window. She blew a stray piece of hair that had fallen in her face out of the way as she rolled over to take a nap.

 

“Kagome!” Shiori's voice called upstairs. “Dinner's ready!” Kagome sat up and looked at the clock next to her bed. The neon green numbers glowed six o'clock. She climbed off the bed. She began to walk downstairs pulling pins out of her hair letting it fall down her back. She stepped into the kitchen and noticed two people sitting at the table. She smiled brightly at them and sat down next to the boy dressed in all black. Suichi brought over a plate mounded with chicken, and beer. Shiori brought over rice, bowls, and plates. As she sat down she looked around for the tea pot. Kagome stood up silently and grabbed the tea pot, and cups she positioned herself beside Suichi and Shiori and pored them each a cup and poured the other two sitting there tea.

 

“Kagome, this is Yusuke.” Suichi said pointing to the guy in green who sat beside him. Kagome nodded and smiled at him. Suichi motioned to the boy who she sat next to. “That's Hiei.” She smiled again.

 

“It's nice to meet the both of you. I'm Suichi's cousin Kagome. I'll be staying here for the next couple of months or however long that my mother says is required.” She lifts her cup to her lips and takes a small sip.

 

“So is that you black Lamborghini outside?” Yusuke looked over at her. She nodded as she and Shiori spooned Rice for everyone. Kagome handed Hiei his bowl and smiled. She sent her aura to press against his.

 

`How are you doing?'

 

`Hn'

 

`I'll take that as good'

 

She grabbed the second to last plate and looked over at Hiei. His red gaze following her movements.

 

“Would you like some?” Kagome asked looking back at Hiei. The slightest nod confirmed. “Chicken or Beef?”

 

“Beef”

 

She placed six pieces on the plate and put it in front of him. As she placed chicken on her plate and sat back she looked around at the people sitting at the table They all were giving her a worried look.

 

“What?”

 

“Why do you act as if you were born in the Feudal era?”

 

“I act that way because I was trained as a miko and a miko was trained to be the object of respect and to show respect to others.” She heard Hiei grunt.

 

`Find this funny do you?'

 

`No, but you cousin is finding this very confusing.'

 

`Oh well.'

 

Suichi ate in silence the rest of the meal. Kagome at her meal silently watching everyone. She first had focused on Yusuke aura and had noticed the hint of demonic energy that reminded her so much of her friend Inuyasha. She sensed the demonic energy in her cousin growing even more. She could see the effects that it caused. The growth spurt to about 6'4” the bright emerald eyes flecked with molten gold. She looked over Hiei as he sat down an empty tea cup.

 

“Would you like more tea?”

 

“No.”

 

Kagome nodded her head. As she placed her chop sticks down. She helped her aunt gather dishes and takes them over to the sink.

 

Suichi, Yusuke, and Hiei got up from the table and walked upstairs to his bedroom. Kagome finished up and put the dishes away.

 

“Go ahead and go upstairs. Suichi and his friend will be in his room for a while.” Shiori said while going to sit in the living room. Kagome walked to her room and grabbed her bathing supplies. She walked across the hall to the bathroom and stated the shower. She stepped into the shower and let the hot water run down her back, and soothe the aching muscles in her body. A loud bang was heard.

 

“Suichi who is in the bathroom!?” Yusuke's brash voice yelled to her cousin.

 

“Kagome, or mother.”

 

Kagome heard grumbling as she stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself and grabbed her supplies before opening the door and stepping out into the hallway. She heard Suichi say goodbye to his friends and then close the door. She shut her bedroom door and looked over at her window to see Hiei sitting on the sill. He looked at her and turned his back. He heard the different rustles of fabrics; the simple slide of silk, and the rustle of cotton.

 

“You can turn around.” He looked at her as she sat at her desk brushing out her dark locks.

 

“How long have you known my cousin, or did you know the demon that resides in him?”

 

“I know the demon that resides in your cousin, I have know him since before her died.”

 

Kagome nodded and sat down on her bed so she could face him.

 

“Yusuke is a hanyo, is he not?”

 

Hiei nodded.

 

“Such a weird group my cousin had made friends with. The youkai within him is beginning to meld with his soul. Pretty soon he will have more that just the demons powers but his looks as well. I wonder how Enma will deal with that.” She wondered allowed to herself.

 

“You know Enma?”

 

“Know him, I created that pompous ass.” She laughed when he gave her a weird look. “He still doesn't know what's good for him does he?” He shook his head “Does her still clam to have created the barriers?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I guess I'm going to have to talk to him then.”

 

Hiei watched as she laid back, her right hand behind her head, and her left resting on her stomach.

 

“I wonder how my baby is doing. He was having problems within his territory last time I talked to him.”

 

“You know Lord Shippo?”

 

“I've known him when he was just ten, and as cute as button.” Kagome had a look of sorrow. “He calls me mama, and use to always sleep in my arms.”

 

“Do you know the King of Makai?”

 

“Yes I do know him. The stick up the butt inu-youkai needs to parade around with him to all the balls and gatherings to keep the females off of him.” She snickered under her breath. “I'm his second in command after all.”

 

“Hn. You can't be the famous Queen of Makai she is a being of the highest respect in Makai and you don't even carry the same air about you as she does.” She smirked at him.

 

“Would you like some proof that I am the Queen of Makai.” He nodded. Kagome got up and walked towards her closet and pulled out a long rectangular box that she had placed on the highest shelf. She set it down and pulled the lid off. She sat aside the tissue paper and pulled out a long dark blue obi. As she sat that aside, Hiei heard more rustling and looked back at her as she set aside white cotton. She pulled a cream colored yukata out green ivy vines decorated the edge and the collar of the yukata. She laid that flat on the bed. She looked over at him and motioned for him to come closer. He looked reluctant but got up and walked towards her and the box. He saw the outer kimono in the box looked like it had been dyed on a battle field the red that colored the silk looked like blood. She reached for it and pulled it out. White flowers littered the hems and shoulders. She turned it around to show him the insignia of the King covered the back.

 

“Do you believe me now?” She laid it back in the box smoothing out every little wrinkle and crease that had worked its way into the fabric.

 

“How long have you known the king?”

 

“I met him when he was in his late twenties human years so about 200 maybe 300. And I've know him for a little over 500 years.” She looked deep in thought while doing the math in her head. “I've known him going on about 700 and some years.”

 

“Your human how could you live for that long.” It was more a statement then a question. She shook her head hiding her laughter from him.

 

“I'm a miko who adopted a demon as her son, and was then adopted by a demon becoming his sister. I gain the ageing of a demon, plus the speed and heightened senses.”

 

“How did you know him 500 years ago?”

 

“Ah. That's a question for another time. It's late and I have my job to go to tomorrow.” She finished packing the kimono and placed it back into her closet. “You're more that welcome to sleep on my window sill, but I really must get to sleep.” She turned off the light. Hiei walked to the window and settled down on the sill as Kagome crawled under her blankets.

 

“Goodnight Hiei.”

 

“Hn.”
