Let's talk telepathy
//Hiei//
\\Kurama\\
((Someone else))
-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
It had been two weeks since Kagome had met the other girls. Botan seemed to hate her, and Keiko seemed jealous. Shizuru was the only one that she really hung out with. Normally at least one of the guys were there. It was usually either Kurama or Hiei. So now she was spending some time with Hiei. For the most part he was silent. However, Kagome could sometimes get him to talk. Today was one of those days, as this was one of those times.
"Hiei?"
"Hn?"
"You said you were a fire demon, right?"
"Hn."
"Why don't I ever see you using any type of flame?"
"I use other methods of attack."
"Like your sword?"
"Yes."
"Anything else?"
"Why are you so curious?"
"If I told you I found you interesting, would you answer my questions?"
"Hn. Probably not."
"Please tell me?" Kagome asked as she started pouting.
He sighed as he felt himself giving in. He had no idea what it was about this woman, but he found himself giving in to her quite often. "I have other abilities and attacks."
"Like?" She pressed on.
"There is the dragon and I have the jagan. It gives me telepathic and some telekinetic powers."
"Jagan?" She questioned as she tried to remember something Sango had told her about it. "Wait... A third eye?" Hiei gave a somewhat hesitant nod. All women he'd met had been repulsed by the implant. It seemed he wouldn't have that problem with her as hopefulness began radiating from her. "Can I see it?"
The fire demon gave a slight nod as he removed the bandana from his head and allowed the jagan to open. Kagome's eyes widened as she took in the sight of the purple eye. It's energy seemed malevolent and evil, but when Kagome reached for it it seemed calm and neutral. The fire demon had tensed when she stretched her hand toward the implant. He wasn't sure what she was going to do, but he never expected what she did do.
Her hand swept across the now partially closed lid in a petting motion that soothed it. The action had him closing his eyes as he allowed her to continue with what she was doing. Petting the third eye. When she stopped and his eyes opened, they were a deeper shade of crimson. A color that was tinted slightly with lust. It caused Kagome to giggle almost nervously. "It seems your eye is a sensitive spot."
"Apparently." He said as he quickly retied his bandana over the third eye.
After a few moments of silence, Kagome decided to try talking again. "What is your family like?"
The fire demon tensed at her question. His crimson stare hardened as he turned to her. "Why?"
"I'm only curious." She replied as she leaned back against the couch. "My family tends to be a little strange, and I never really got to know my father. So I was merely curious about yours."
"I did not know my family." He said simply.
"Oh." She whispered out as she looked slightly saddened at the thought, though her gaze held no pity. Silence overtook them once more, and they could hear Shippo and Rin playing outside. Lapsing into thought, Kagome tried thinking of something that they could do. Nothing was very forthcoming at the moment though. At least there was nothing until she thought of something different. "Hiei." When she was sure she had his attention, she continued. "Will you take me to the Makai? Shippo can easily watch Rin."
"You wish me to take you into demon world?" He asked, almost incredulously.
"Please, I doubt that Yusuke would take me. I could go on my own, but I wish to have someone I trust with me."
It surprised him that she trusted him, but his face betrayed no emotions. Only his eyes spoke of how he felt. "I suppose I could accompany you."
The miko smiled happily before hugging Hiei and leaving to inform Shippo. The physical contact had surprised Hiei, but Kagome did not see it. However, she did feel his surprise when her empathy picked at it. Her powers were slowly starting to awaken once more. Shaking her head of those thoughts, she called her kit to her side once she reached the porch. There she tells him of her plans and he smiled as he told her to have fun and that he'd take good care of Rin.

They came out of the portal somewhere in the central lands. Kagome looked around as the feel of youki surrounded her. Demons were everywhere, she felt no trace of any humans. In response to all of the demonic energy, her energy all calmed. Her energy felt completely peaceful. She twirled around and giggled happily. "It's amazing here!"
Hiei simply looked at her, surprised for her words. She was a miko, and yet she seemed to be glowing with happiness now that she was in a world of youkai. A place where youki ruled. Swirls of color seemed to begin dancing around her form, the happier she became. "You are strange onna."
He didn't expect the response that he got. She turned to him then, the sunlight reflecting off her raven locks. A blue tint almost overpowered the black. Sapphire eyes sparkled with such vibrance that his breath caught. Rose red lips were upturned into a smile that could rival the brightness of the sun, and her porcelain skin seemed to glow golden in the sunlight. "If I'm strange, I'm different. If I'm different, I'm special. Everyone is different, therefore everyone is both special and strange."
"Do you really believe that?"
"I believe everything I say. I think lying is despicable, unless done to save someone."
"Would you still call someone special even if their own parents believed that they shouldn't exist?" He had no idea why he was asking. No idea why he cared about her answer. No idea why he had even been talking to her. But he was and he did.
"All life is sacred, no one has the right to decide who should live and who shouldn't. In truth, only the gods have a say in when we are meant to die." Deciding to lighten things up a little, she added "unless of course you decide to go killing people. Then you decide when they die."
The fire demon gave her a smirk at that. "You expect me to go around killing people?"
"Only a few." The miko giggled.
Hiei raised a brow at that. "And what if I brought you here to kill you?"
"I trust that you wouldn't hurt me. Besides, if you did you'd have to deal with Yusuke." She responded with a slight giggle.
"You think I would not face the detective?"
"I'm sure you're powerful enough to take him on, but I don't think you'd want to take the risk of hurting one of your friends." She responded calmly as she started walking toward a nearby forest.
Hiei smirked and grabbed hold of her as they reached the tree line, slamming her into a tree as he did so. He gave a chuckle that sounded dark and dangerous. "You never know, I may take the risk." His breath caressed her ear and she almost shivered. His hands firmly held her wrists to her sides as his body pressed into hers, though that part was unintentional.
Kagome's hands pressed against his strong chest as she continued to smile. "I trust you Hiei. I don't believe that you would hurt me."
Slowly, he released her from his hold. "You are a fool to trust so easily."
"Perhaps. Or perhaps I know more than you think." Her smile never left as she took his hand into hers and led him deeper into the forest. Demons surrounded them as they walked, most too scared to even appear to them. Though Kagome's aura was practically hidden, the demons were afraid of Hiei. For he had quite the reputation in the Makai. And Kagome seemed to notice this. Her senses picked up on the great amount of fear, and whom it was directed to. "They appear terrified of you."
"And they should be."
"Why? Are you so terrible to your own kind?" She asked with a slight giggle. Before he could respond to her question, she continued. "Or maybe necessity demanded you make yourself a name so others leave you be?"
"How would know of what necessity dictates?"
"I am merely taking a guess based upon my knowledge of demonic ways. While most enjoy the kill, they do so only when necessary. Unless of course they are power hungry, which you don't seem to be."
"But can you know for certain that I am not?"
Turning to face him, she cupped his cheek with her hand. The action sent a jolt through his system. "I can feel that you're not evil or greedy. I can see the good inside you. Even if you've had a dark past, you are still good."
Hiei turned away at that, surprised by what she had said. "Where exactly do you wish to go?"
Kagome thought for a moment before an idea popped up. "How about someplace private, where we could spar?"
"How fast can you run?" He asked as he studied her body.
She blushed a little under his scrutiny and looked at the ground. "All I know is that I'm faster than normal humans."
Sighing, he bent down. "Then get on, I wish to move quickly." Slightly stunned, the miko moved toward the demon and slid on his back with ease. Situating herself perfectly as she did so. The demon beneath her was surprised at the ease. Her arms held around his neck. They were tight enough to keep her on, but loose enough that she wouldn't choke him. "Have you done this before?"
She giggled at that. "Maybe a few times."

"I miss Kagome." Sango whispered as she leaned against the wall of Kaede's hut.
"We all miss her my dear." Miroku said as he pulled the woman into a hug. "Only a few more months and she'll return."
"I know." Sango whispered. "But I have this bad feeling?"
"What sort of bad feeling?"
The slayer turned in the monk's arms, so she could look directly into his eyes. "I don't think she's coming back. I think something's going to stop her."
"If that happens, then all we can do is pray that she's happy."

"Kikyo..." Inuyasha whispered as he came upon the miko. Her pale skin seemed more pale compared to the white of her haori.
"Inuyasha." She replied gently as she turned to look at him. Her eyes held love as she took in his form. "How is everyone at the village?"
"I suppose they're alright. They miss Kagome though."
"I'm not surprised. I miss her as well." Looking down, she sighed. "And I know that you miss her as well."
He also gave a sigh as he looked away. "I'm sorry Kikyo, that I can't yet decide whom I wish to choose."
The miko moved to him and wrapped him in her arms. "I understand. It is a hard decision for you to make, as you love us both."

Kagome laughed joyously as they flew through the trees. She'd had no idea that he was that fast. It wasn't long before they reached somewhere private. A glen. A waterfall was in the background and many trees surrounded them. The waterfall pooled into a lake at the base, and the water appeared deep. The sight was breath taking. The miko turned to Hiei and smiled brilliantly. "It's beautiful."
He turned to her with a smirk as he pulled off his cloak. "It is time to spar."
And she barely heard him as she got a good look at his chest. The tight black shirt he wore accentuated all of his muscles. His pecks and his abs. Slowly shaking herself from her stupor, she followed the demon and unsheathed her sword. Her entire demeanor changed as she became calculative. One thought crossed both their minds. This is going to be fun.

I truly hope that you enjoyed this chapter. I tried to have more Kagome/Hiei in it. This way she'll start falling for him, and I even had some of the Inu Gang show up... Of course not in the future lol. Anyways, she does have a choice to make, so I figured I'd put her with our silent demon a little more.
