"Why'd you say your name was Kage? You like the ship so much that you had to take part of it's name?" Youko joked.

 

Kagome merely glared at him. "It's my nickname. And before you ask, Satoshi was my mother's maiden name."

 

"Your nickname? Who gave it to ya?" Kuronue asked as looked intently at her.

 

"Souta. He said I was like a shadow with how well I could hide and sneak around."

 

"So what'd he help you with?" Youko asked.

 

"He... he knows Souta, so I asked Yusuke to give him a note for me."

 

"And just what was the note?" Youko asked with a glare.

 

"It simply states that I'm alive, not to worry, and that I'm a pirate now... He'll know not to tell! It tells him not to, and if anyone finds it no one will know it's from me or that it's to him."

 

"How so?" Kuronue asked curiously.

 

"I signed it Kage, and it says to Hotaro. That's his nickname... Firefly."

 

"So you really thought everything out, huh?" Youko asked as he looked at her.

 

"I didn't put anything important in the letter, but he'll know I'm fine."

 

"You better not get us hunted with that stunt."

 

Glaring daggers at him, she quit getting things ready to make something to eat. "You know what, make your own damn food! I've actually been working on your damn ship, and I've been happy! Happy dammit! I haven't been happy in a long time, and you sit there and think I'm gonna screw it up, well fuck you!" Storming out of the kitchen, she stopped for a second. "Shippo! Come here!"

 

"Coming momma!" He called as he scrambled after her.

 

"I think you pissed her off." Kuronue smirked at his captain as the young woman and boy made their way upstairs.

 

"Yeah, and I gotta deal with her." Hiei groaned out.

One week after the young woman had given him the note, he'd made it back to Kamikaze. First he went to his fiance and spent some time with her, he then searched out the boy. "Yo squirt!"

 

"What is it Yusuke?" Souta asked as he slowly walked up to the older boy.

 

"It's secretive." Yusuke stated. "The chick said her name was Kage Satoshi, but I think she was lying to me."

 

Souta's eyes widened, and he pulled Yusuke away from the house and to a place where he went to be alone. "What happened?"

 

"Gave me this letter to give to you." Yusuke said as he passed said letter to the boy.

 

Souta quickly unfolded the paper and started reading it.

 

Dear Hotaro,

I am writing this quickly as I have just found out that Yusuke knows you. I just wanted you to know that I miss you very much. I am doing perfectly well, and am in fact quite content as I am. My original purpose was to warm someone's bed, but the someone the captain gave me to thinks of me as to young to do more than kiss. He likes to tease me with such kisses (which he needs killed for), but I am starting to grow fond of him. He seems to like me as well, since I have not seen him with anyone else since I boarded the ship. I actually work on the ship now. I cook the meals, and sometimes help the cabin boy (my adopted son) who's now seven. I truly miss you, and I'd be happy if you could be aboard with me. It's quite fun, especially the crows nest. The captain is rather nice as well... the funny thing is that there's two first mates. The man I'm falling for is one of them. I hope you know that I love you very much, and I miss you!

 

Love/Yours Truly,

Kage

 

He flipped it over and found a little more written. P.S. I know I needed to give you more proof, and I also wanted you to know that I'm always with you. I figured this was the best way to do both.

 

In the winds and on the seas

In the mountains on the trees

Forever shall we see

What you always meant to me

In the hallways, on the shores

Whether inside or outdoors

Forever shall we be

Together, just you and me

Mamma and papa might be gone

But I'll be here with this song

Forever will you see

That I'll always be here, you and me.

 

Souta turned to look at his friend. "Can you keep a secret?"

 

"You know I can. What is it?"

 

"This is a pretty major secret Yusuke. You have to swear you won't tell anyone."

 

"I swear I won't tell anyone your secret."

 

"This is from my sister." Yusuke's eyes widened at his statement. "I know because Kage is a nickname I gave her, and Satoshi was mom's maiden name."

 

"She must be really happy on Youko's ship then... If she didn't wanna give out her real name and risk being rescued."

 

"Youko? As in Youko Kurama of the Phantom Shadow?"

 

"Hai.. the very same. He's her captain."

 

A smirk crossed the boy's face as he cocked his head to the side. "Do you know who the two first mates are."

 

"It'd be Kuronue and Hiei, why?"

 

Souta nearly chocked. "Hiei, as in famous Jaganashi, Hiei?" Yusuke laughed but nodded. "You know them pretty well?" Another nod. "If you gave a girl to them to do whatever with what would they do with her?"

 

"Ah... Kuronue would fuck her, and Hiei would... Not to sure about Hiei. He's never really taken an interest in anyone unless he needed a quick fuck."

 

"Ok... then my guess is Youko gave her to Hiei."

 

"What?" Souta gave him the note and he read it. "Oh. You're probably right, because I think she was headin off ta his house when she left."

 

"I can write back, correct?"

 

"Course. Said ta send the letter to Youko's, but I think I'll send it ta Hiei's instead."

 

"Right. Can I come on a trip with you?"

 

"You wanna go over seas with me?"

 

"I wanna go to where my sis is."

 

"You'll have to write and ask her when she'll be there. I visit once a week to do trade, so find out a good time to go."

 

"Alright, but if she doesn't reply by her birthday, I wanna go anyways. So I can be there. I think she'll show up then."

 

Yusuke stuck his hand out for the younger boy to shake. "Deal."

Another three weeks after that, found Kagome sneaking into Hiei's room in the middle of the night. Her nightmares were horrible, and she was hoping that he could keep them away. Once she made it to his room, she took of the pants and climbed into his bed, curling up next to him. He may not have known that she was there, but he put his arms around her and pulled her closer. Turning in his arms, she rested her head on his chest and fell asleep with a contented sigh.

 

Hiei woke up the next morning with her warm body pressed up against his side. Not knowing why there was a warm body next to him, he slowly opened his eyes and saw her. "Kagome?"

 

Bleary sapphire eyes opened and looked into crimson, before closing and snuggling deeper into their warmth. "I wanna stay asleep."

 

"Why are you in my bed?"

 

"Nightmares... I came here to be safe."

 

"Well, we need to get up." Hiei said as he released her and stood.

 

Giving up with a sigh, she stood while grumbling about evil men and wanted to stay curled up in bed a little longer. Hiei's eyes widened in shock when he saw what she was wearing. "Where's the rest of your clothes?"

 

Looking down at herself, she noticed that she was clad in only a button up shirt. She shrugged. "Pants are on the floor since they're not comfy to sleep in... Besides" she added with a mischievous smile "it's nothing you haven't seen before."

 

He growled at her for using his own words against him. "You're starting to turn evil."

 

"I know." She replied with a smile as she pulled her pants on. Looking up into his eyes, she found them completely unguarded and gasped.

 

"What?"

 

"You're eyes... they're so beautiful." She stated as she became seemingly entranced by them.

 

Shaking his head, Hiei left the room to talk to Kuronue. Said bat demon would probably be at the helm. When he got up there, he found that he was right. "Okinawa."

 

His response was a glare from his friend. "I am not a fruit bat."

 

Hiei simply smirked at him. "So you say."

 

Again Kuronue growled at his friend. In truth though, the growl was not all that threatening since bats don't normally growl. "What do you want Hiei?"

 

"Your opinion."

 

"On what?"

 

"She wants me to take her. Since I said she's to young, she asked me to do it on her birthday. What do you think I should do?"

 

"She wants you, so take her." Kuronue shrugged.

 

"But, I don't think I should. She's a lady, and I'm... well, I'm forbidden for one thing and she seems so pure."

 

"She's not that pure."

 

"But I'm still a murderer, a thief, a pirate, an unwanted person."

 

"I want." The bat said as a joke, earning a glare from his friend. Rolling his eyes, he looked over at the fire demon. "Just forget about what you are, and give her what she wants. If it's bothering you that much, let her come to you. If she really wants you, she'll come to you on her birthday."

 

"I guess." He replied with a resigned sigh as he shrugged.
