Legendary Feelings and Battles
Chapter I
In the cold dark castle in one third of Makai, the new lord sat on his throne. No one could believe that Mukuro had been killed. Someone had poisoned her drink and there was nothing they found that could cure her, so Hiei took the throne upon her death. He sighed as he thought about how boring it was to rule. What he really wanted to do was find his mate.
A reoccurring dream that he had a few months ago was practically driving him insane. There was an ancient priestess in it who told him of his mate. At least now he knew he had one, but would she accept him?
He sighed and closed his eyes as he did nothing but sit on his stupid throne that he wanted to destroy. Things were just too boring here. Deciding that he'd go to Ningenkai for a while, he put someone in charge and left. He headed for the fox's apartment and found that everyone was there. "Hello Hiei." The fox said as he slipped into the window.
"Hn."
The others began talking as Hiei let his mind wander, only vaguely aware of what was happening. According to the woman in his reoccurring dream, he'd have to share his mate. He wasn't positive that he'd be able to, but he didn't think he'd have a choice in the matter.
When he finally turned his attention back into the conversation that was currently going on, he was surprised. When did the detective and Keiko break up? Of course he didn't really care, but he was curious.
The group seemed to be getting tired of just sitting around in Kurama's house, so they decided to head into the park. Once there, they lounged around in a place that was further away from the humans. Hiei was perched up in a tree and he was once again bored out of his mind.
"I got it!" Everyone looked up when they heard the yell. A young boy ran into the clearing following after a Frisbee. He ended up tripping over Kuwabara and falling over. As a reflex, he threw his hands forward and pushed off the ground making him flip back into a crouch. The group just looked at the boy curiously as he smiled nervously. "Sorry about that."
He stood and grabbed the flying disk as another boy ran into the clearing. The boy noticed the people, then looked back at the other boy with a slight frown. "Come Souta, Shippo's getting upset."
"Yeah, can't have the brat getting upset." He said as he followed the other boy and started mumbling about stupid attention seeking kitsunes.
The demons of the group all snapped their eyes to the boy that was mumbling as he left the clearing with the frisbee in hand. When he walked out of the clearing, Yusuke mentioned what he said. "Was he just mumbling about stupid attention seeking kitsunes, or was it just me?"
"Hai, he was." Kurama said as he looked at where the boy had disappeared. "I think we need to follow him."
They agreed and followed the two boys, easily hiding themselves. Coming across a clearing, they saw another boy sitting and waiting. "About time you two! What happened, a youkai attack or something?"
"No Shippo, I ran into people when I went to retrieve the frisbee. Next time you can go after it, baka kitsune." Souta said as he threw the flying disk at the sitting boy.
The boy effortlessly dodged and took down the boy. "Got you!"
"Come on Shippo, we need to get home." The other boy said between his laughs at their antics.
"Awe. Come on Kohaku. I wanna have some fun." Shippo whined.
"Nope. Now let's get home before I have Kirara fetch you."
"You'd really set the neko on your friend?" The kit pouted up at his friend.
Kohaku looked to be in thought for a moment before he suddenly smiled. "Hai. I would."
Shippo growled, but got off the other boy. Pout still in place he helped him up. "Come on Uncle Souta. I guess we're going home."
The boys practically ran from the park, leaving the gang to ponder about what they spoke of. Kuwabara was the first to speak. "So there's demons in the city? A neko and kitsune?"
Yusuke rolled his eyes at his friend's idiocy as he turned to him. "The word duh comes to mind. That's what they just said."
"Think we should tell Koenma?"
"Probably." Kurama responded.
Yusuke opened up his communicator and had Botan open a portal. Since they knew that there were demons running around the city, they took the girls with them to Reikai. The detective burst through the prince's door, startling the poor toddler into dropping his pacifier. "What is it Yusuke?"
"We were in the park and came across a demon. There were two humans with him and they were talking about a neko as well."
The toddler's eyes bulged at that information. "WHAT???"
"I already told ya what toddler."
"I am NOT a toddler! I want you four to find out where these youkai are and what they want!"
Hiei was actually smirking on the inside. Finally, something to do! He had been so bored lately, and now he had a mission. Botan opened a portal for them to Genkai's and smiled as she shoved them all through. The boys agreed that they'd meet back at the park in an hour. Kazuma wanted to take his sister home, and Yusuke begged Kurama to take Keiko home.
The two were not getting along very well since the break up. He had taken it very badly, especially since not only did she bring his job into the argument, but also his demon blood. Talking about how she didn't want to worry about her kids having demonic qualities and being different. The break up was actually only two weeks ago.
So he ended up heading to the park with Hiei. The two traveled in a companionable silence on the way there. "So Hiei, how's the Makai?"
"Hn. Boring." He replied. His friendship with Yusuke had actually grown quite a bit. The two could talk about almost anything. "When did you two split?"
"Two weeks ago. She didn't wanna risk having children with me." Yusuke responded somewhat sadly.
Hiei looked a little taken aback by that statement. Keiko didn't seem like the type who would mind, but then again he never really paid much attention to the girl. They both appeared to be deep in thought when a feminine voice snapped them out of it. "You better find it, or no candy for a week!"
"But momma!" Another voice whined. The child's voice was familiar to Hiei, but both were familiar to Yusuke. "I didn't mean to lose the bracelet."
"Well then find it."
"Hai momma." Sounded a defeated voice. Noises heading toward them alerted them of approaching people a second before they saw the new arrivals. It was the fox kit, and he instantly started growling and glared at them. "What do you want?"
"Shippo, who are you growling at sweetie?" Asked a young woman's voice as a girl came into view. She gasped when she saw the two guys, and stood shocked for a moment. The next moment, she had launched herself at Yusuke. "Yuyu!"
The detective's eyes widened at that name. There was only ever one person who called him that... "Kagome?"
"Hai!" She chirped as she nuzzled into his neck. The movement shocked him, and made Shippo start snickering like mad. Pulling away, she looked between the two and became confused. "What?"
"You were nuzzling him momma." Explained her son as he continued to snicker.
The girl began to turn a deep shade of red and quickly apologized as her kit continued to snicker. Kagome turned send a glare at the boy. "The bracelet." The kit sighed and took off in search of it. "How have you been Yuyu?"
"Fine Kag, but did that boy just call you mom?" He seemed angry, jealous, and confused all at once.
"Nope." She said with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "He called me momma." Laughing at his dumbfounded expression, she continued. "He's my adopted son, I took him in after his parents died."
"Oh." Was all the detective could say.
"Hn."
Kagome finally noticed the other guy who was with her old friend and smiled at him, causing his eyes to narrow. "Please forgive me, I didn't notice you before." Slightly she bowed. "My name's Kagome Higurashi, may I have your name?"
He glared at her as Yusuke gave her his name. "He's Hiei, and he doesn't talk much."
"Ok." She said before mumbling about stupid emotionally constipated stick up their asses demons. Yusuke fell over laughing as Hiei growled. Kagome noticed this and her eyes widened. "Fuck! I forgot you could hear me. I've been around humans too long." She moaned as she turned to go find her son.
It was five seconds later that there was a katana being held to her throat. "How do you know of demons onna?"
"Let's see, my cat's a demon, my son's a demon, and a lot of my friends are demons, so the question is, how could I not know about demons?"
Hiei growled at the girl's answer and pulled the sword tighter against her neck. Yusuke began yelling at him though. "Dammit Hiei, release her!"
"How about I make him release me?" A playful smirk was spread across her face. Before either could inquire about what she meant, a blast of power knocked the sword from the fire demon's hand, and sent him sailing backwards. "Just so you know, I don't like swords at my throat."
The fire demon snarled as he jumped to his feet. "Bitch."
We all know what's gonna happen now. Her powers left her control and angrily began to swirl around her as her eyes tinted red. "My name is Kagome KA-GO-ME Got it! Not wench, bitch, onna, or any other damn name that you insufferable male youkai can come up with using your damn miniature brains!" Power exploded forth with enough force to destroy the entire forest, but it only caused powerful winds.
At that moment, their two other team mates came racing toward them. Kurama called out to them as they ran. "Yusuke! Hiei!"
Kagome tensed as she felt the powerful kitsune aura approaching. Apparently Shippo could feel it too, cause not a second later a giant fox ran into the clearing. It's fur stood on end as it growled menacingly at the intruder. True, this was not his forest, but he was getting too close to his mother.
Kurama's eyes widened as he slid to a stop. The kit's power was impressive, but the girl's was too much. She didn't even really seem to be aware of all of it. He noticed as Yusuke turned to him and motioned him to slowly approach. Both he and Kuwabara did so as he introduced them. "The fox is Shuichi Minamino, but call him Kurama. And the baka is Kazuma Kuwabara."
"You know them Yuyu?"
"Hai Kag."
Slowly she went up to Shippo and began stroking his pelt as she murmured words of reassurance to him. "They're not going to hurt anyone, Yusuke wouldn't let them hurt me. And you know I'll always protect you, so you can take your humanoid form now."
He looked again at Kurama as he growled a warning before shrinking back down to his child form as he jumped into Kagome's arms and handed her a pretty silver bracelet. "Yusuke, you know this girl?"
Yusuke nodded to Kurama. "Hai, she's an old friend of mine." Suddenly he turned toward Kagome. "Have anywhere that we can talk?"
Kagome nodded as she eyed the kitsune wearily. "We can return to the shrine. It's late and momma will worry if I'm not back soon."
