Love's Choices

Chapter III

Meetings and Accomplishments

 

It's been weird trying to remember everything I want later in the story and not knowing how to start it. Maybe I should think about that lol.

 

Summary: You love more than one person, but who do you choose? Kagome as always loved Inuyasha, but on a visit to her old friend she meets Hiei. Falling for him over the duration of the stay, but who does she choose, her new love Hiei or her first love Inuyasha? And Inuyasha has his own choice to make. The dead Kikyo or the living Kagome? Everyone seems to have their own choices to make! But when they make their choices, will it be too late?

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yuyu Hakusho or Inuyasha! I wish I did, but sadly... I don't.

 

Let's talk telepathy

Sighing, Kagome slowly walked into the meeting hall. She really didn't want to deal with the other three cardinal lords right now. It was hard enough dealing with Sesshomaru when she first met him, and right now she was tired... dead tired. All she truly wanted to do was return to her bed and pass out. While thinking about how nice her bed in the palace was, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going, and bumped into someone. She fell on her behind with a 'oof'. Looking up, she noticed that she had walked into a demon... a handsome demon. "Hello." She said politely.

 

The demon grinned at her and offered her a hand up. "Hey. Haven't seen many humans in this palace."

 

Kagome smiled as she accepted the hand up. "Not many come near here I believe." She bowed politely before looking back up at him. "I'm Kagome Higurashi, pleased to meet you."

 

"Raizen Toushin. It's nice to meet a beautiful girl like yourself." Kagome noticed that his grin was semi lecherous and she giggled.

 

"You remind of my friend Miroku." She said absentmindedly. She was actually checking him out. He had long white hair that seemed untamable, tribal markings on his chest, and on on his left cheek (face), and his eyes were a golden color.

 

"How so?"

 

"You seem lecherous, just like he does." She replied with a giggle. "Main differences are that you're a demon, he's a monk, you probably get women, and he's never allowed alone with one anymore."

 

"You are a strange girl." Raizen replied with a laugh. "I don't know whether I should be insulted or pleased."

 

"If I was you, I'd take it as a compliment." Kagome said with a large smile. "What kind of demon are you anyways?" Curiously she looked at his markings, hoping to use them to identify him.

 

"I am mazoku."

 

Looking up at him, she was surprised. "Battle demon?" He nodded and she gulped. "You wouldn't happen to be the northern lord, would you?"

 

"Yes, why?"

 

"Hehehe..... That means I haven't been showing you proper respect my lord." She said with a bow, lower than before.

 

Raizen laughed at that. "Relax, I found it refreshing to not have someone treating me like a lord. It's fun really."

 

A big smile graced the girl's face. "Good, I don't like all these formalities."

 

Laughing, the demon lord took her hand and led her to the meeting table and sat with her. "So what are you doing in here anyways?"

 

"I have to attend." She sighed as she looked at the table. "Sesshomaru-sama said so, and so too does Inuyasha."

 

That announcement caught Raizen off guard. "Sesshomaru's younger half brother is here?"

 

"Hai. You didn't know that he took up his title as prince when we formed an alliance....?"

 

The demon lord shook his head. "None of us have heard a thing about it. So how'd this happen?"

 

Smiling a small smile, Kagome looked up at him. "I saved Rin by taking a hit to the shoulder. It was a pretty bad blow from what I heard, but it doesn't matter because the girl's ok. Because of that, we formed an alliance."

 

"So you are part of Inuyasha's pack?"

 

Kagome looked thoughtful for a minute. "I never really thought of it like that before, but it would explain why he's so protective of us... if he does think of us as his pack."

 

"Who's alpha?" Raizen asked with a smirk.

 

She merely shook her head at the demon lord. "I think I was. With Kikyo in the group, I highly doubt I still am... then again with Sesshou in the group I believe he's alpha... so I dunno."

 

"Who does more work and takes charge more often?"

 

"Well, Sesshou does. Inu and Koga try to argue, but they're easily subdued." She giggled at that thought. "Especially Inu. Among the girl's I believe that I have the most responsibility. I teach Shippo and Rin, Kohaku trains with Sango though, I also cook, and I tend to make decisions like I used to. Kikyo simply trains me, Sango finished my training last night."

 

"That would make you alpha female then. Who are these others though?"

 

"Well you probably know that Rin is Sesshou's ward, Shippo is like a son to me, Sango and Kohaku are demon slayers, but Kohaku was being controlled by Naraku for the longest time just after his first slaying. Sango just finished my slayer training last night." She smiled a large triumphant smile at that thought. "It's what this is for." She motioned toward the eye shadow. "It's a slayer tradition to tattoo it on the women when they complete their training and ascend to adulthood."

 

"I've heard that the tajiya were exterminated."

 

"All but Sango and Kohaku... and now me I suppose. Anyways, Miroku is our friend, he's a buddhist monk, but a major lecher and Sango and he are in love. Kouga is the wolf demon lord, and Ayame is the princess of the northern wolf tribe."

 

"How did the wolves come to join your pack?"

 

Kagome giggled at his surprise. "It's funny really. Kouga kidnapped me a while back, then he proclaimed love for me. He's also hunting for Naraku like all of us are, so he joined with us to better protect 'his woman' and to help in Naraku's defeat. Ayame is in love with Kouga though, and she also joined to help hunt Naraku and to keep Kouga in check."

 

"So you like the wolf lord?"

 

The girl shook her head at the demon. "Nope, and he never listens when I tell him that. I'm in love with Inu, while Inu can't decide between Kikyo and I. Kikyo is my incarnation, we share a soul."

 

The demon's shocked eyes looked up at her. "How is that possible?"

 

"An evil witch used dark magic to bring her back, but the soul hadn't returned. She noticed how similar Kikyo and I look and realized I had the soul. She put me in some concoction... and Kikyo ended up getting my soul. She wouldn't have if Inu hadn't called out her name, and they fought. According to Shippo I attempted to call the soul back, but some stayed in her clay body. A while ago, I saved her and ended up giving her a little more of our soul to heal her injuries. Now she trains me in my miko powers while Miroku trains me in using simple ki."

 

"You're group sounds confusing."

 

"Hai, we are. I even managed to gain Sesshou's respect."

 

"How is that possible, he hardly respects anyone?"

 

"According to him, it's because of many things. One is that I stayed loyal to inu, even after everything he put me through. You see, I promised to stay by his side, no matter what. Second is that I've stood up to things that even some of the bravest would cower in fear from. And last is that I'm the only human he's ever tried to kill that has lived."

 

"The last one is a major thing." Raizen replied with a chuckle. "In truth, that would make you the only person that he's ever tried to kill that hasn't died."

 

"I guess I'm just lucky." She giggled.

It was an hour later that the others walked into the room. Both current occupants stood, and Kagome walked over to the two inus. The others noticed but said nothing. When the other 'lords' were seated, Sesshomaru took his seat. He then glared at the hanyou in the room. "Inuyasha, sit!"

 

Said hanyou gulped and did as commanded with a "Feh!" Kagome shook her head and took her own seat on the other side of Sesshomaru. It was then a goat demon who spoke up. "Who are they Sesshomaru-sama?" He asked while gesturing toward the hanyou and human.

 

"Indeed." Stated a woman who must've been one of the lords. "Why is there a human and a hanyou present?"

 

"Inuyasha, I am sorry to say, is a prince of the western lands." He earned a glare from Inuyasha, but Kagome giggled. "And the human, Kagome, may be joining the family and she has information on the hanyou, Naraku."

 

The southern lord, who was a rather ugly kitsune youkai, looked disgusted. "You'd actually allow a pathetic weak ningen to join your family, a female one no less?"

 

Everyone's attention turned to Kagome as she growled. Her aura started to rise, but Sesshomaru stopped her. "Calm yourself miko." Taking a deep breath, she nodded. "As for your question, she is strong, brave, and loyal. If this Sesshomaru finds her worthy of joining the family, then she is indeed worthy."

 

Raizen chuckled, gaining everyone's attention. "I'd say she's worthy, she's survived you trying to kill her numerous times."

 

The other demon lord's eyes widened at that, and a small smile graced Sesshomaru's face. The smile scared the lords deeply. "Since you inquire about my company, I shall inquire as to yours kitsune."

 

Motioning for the goat to step forward, he introduced him. "This is my heir, Yomi."

 

"I think we should get on to business Sesshomaru." The woman spoke up.

 

"Very well Mukuro..."

Kagome sighed happily as she walked through the gardens. She was tired of sitting in that meeting room. The stupid treaties took forever to be talked about, and now talk about Naraku would have to wait until tomorrow. She nearly bumped into someone again since she was lost in her thoughts. "Human, watch where you're going."

 

Kagome glared up at the kitsune, not noticing the two behind him. "And to think, I was going to say sorry." Turning, she stormed off. Back toward the castle, mumbling about stupid moody youkai that she was going to shoot. Looking around, she saw Shippo and Rin. "Are you two ready for your lessons?"

 

"Hai!" They both cheered at the same time. "Can we have them in the gardens?"

 

"Of course Rin."

 

"Can I talk to you alone for a minute Kagome?" Shippo suddenly asked, attempting to look and sound brave.

 

"Sure you can sweetie." She turned to the little girl. "Go find us a good spot to study at, ok Rin?"

 

"Hai." And she took off.

 

"What do you need Shippo?" She asked as she turned her full attention onto the kit.

 

"W-would you be my mommy...?"
