Sanosuke Takahashi had gotten home late and found his daughter curled up on the couch. The little girl she claimed as a daughter curled into her arms. He sighed as picked them both up and carried them to her room. He managed to open the door and laid the two on the bed as he wondered where the little boy was. Walking across the hall, he found him in Souta and Kohaku's room.

 

Sighing, he continued on to his and his wife's room. He hoped that Kagome would start opening up to him a little more. She had been pretty distant since she arrived. Of course it could have something to do with a few of her friends dyeing in a car crash, though he wasn't sure he believed his ex about it.

Yusuke and the guys came down to the kitchen the next morning and found Kagome in there cooking. The smell of bacon and eggs reached them, causing their stomachs to growl. A second later, a tired looking boy appeared in the kitchen and looked at her. "Is that breakfast mommy?"

 

"Hai Shippo. Wake your sister and uncles for me please?"

 

"Hai momma." He said as he hurried up the stairs.

 

Kagome smiled as she watched her son ascend the stairs. She sighed as she turned to look at the other four in the kitchen. "I thought the smells would wake you, so I made enough for you as well."

 

"Didn't you make some for mom and Sanosuke?" Yusuke asked as he walked over and plopped down at the table.

 

"Atsuko and Sano don't normally eat with us." She stated as she turned back to her cooking. "Sano is already at work and Atsuko is still asleep from last night's hangover."

 

Yusuke groaned at that. "Fuck, she'll be a total bitch today then."

 

Kagome giggled at him. "No she won't. I have a hangover cure that I've been giving her, and it's why she doesn't drink as much as she used to."

 

"Why, you poison it?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Nope, but it tastes horrid. I'd say worse than mushrooms." She shivered at the thought of having to eat mushrooms.

 

Yusuke laughed at her. "I take it you don't like mushrooms?"

 

"Nope. I say they're icky."

 

"And I say icky is a word said by two year olds."

 

Kagome grinned at him. "Well you just said it, what's that make you?"

 

He growled at her as she laughed at his dumbfounded expression. "Shut up!"

 

She merely stuck her tongue out at him. "Make me!" She challenged.

 

He jumped up from his seat and began chasing her around the kitchen. The other three sat down at the table, and were soon joined by the other boys and little girl. The amazing thing was that Kagome managed to keep the food from burning, put it on plates, and give the plates to the person who'd eat them, all while running from Yusuke. Then she turned toward him and smiled, making him stop as she held a plate out to him. "Thanks." He gratefully took the plate and sat at the table with the others. Even Hiei was eating.

 

The four teens eyes widened when they took their first bites. The food was amazing. Shippo giggled at their reactions. "Momma's great at cooking... for a demon's preference especially. Just don't tell her you'd prefer ramen or she might purify you."

 

"Why'd she do that?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"She once made us this huge meal that was really really good, but Inuyasha said he preferred ramen and dug through her backpack until he found some and asked her to cook it for him. He was in quite a bit of pain for a while."

 

"Yeah well I love ramen and all, but I think this is way better." Yusuke admitted.

 

No one noticed that both Kurama and Hiei were casting glances at the woman who remained at the stove. Of course Kurama decided to say something to her. "Are you not eating Kagome?"

 

"I'm not really hungry Kurama." She replied as she continued cleaning.

 

The three younger boys all sighed and Shippo looked at his mother sadly. "She's getting skinnier."

 

"I know." Souta agreed as he too sighed. "If only we could get her to eat."

 

"But she lost Inuyasha and is caring for us." Kohaku spoke up. "She's neglecting herself for us."

 

"But she could at least eat." Shippo complained.

 

"Momma's too upset to eat. We're the only things she has left, she needs something more to help her." Said Rin in a soft voice that had everyone looking at her.

 

"What do you mean Rin?" Souta asked curiously.

 

Rin sighed. "Momma doesn't know this, but I heard Uncle Inuyasha confess his love for her just before he died... I think it upset her a really whole lot to finally know who he chose and not be able to be with him."

 

Kohaku smiled. "You're smart for being six."

 

Rin smiled. "Daddy made sure I was tutored."

 

Shippo smiled sadly at her. "Mommy tutored me. She thought I needed to know things like math."

 

"You do need to know." Kagome said as she walked over and sat beside Hiei. "I'll be sending you to school, Rin and Kohaku too."

 

"Kohaku's not in school?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"He's.... taught at home normally. Rin doesn't really care for humans either."

 

That made everyone's attention snap to the little girl. "Why would a human not like other ningens?" Everyone was shocked to hear Hiei ask that.

 

Kagome just shook her head. "I only met you yesterday... I can't go telling you all of my secrets."

 

"That reminds me.." started Yusuke. "Since when was there a forest around the house? And what about the dojo I saw? I tried to get in there, but it's locked."

 

"Sano is trying to make me happy, so he's giving me things he thinks I want. He overheard me talking to Rin and Shippo about loving forests, so he had the trees planted. I told Kohaku that we needed to go outback and train, so he built me my own dojo."

 

"Why's he tryin so hard to please you?"

 

"I don't like him very much." Kagome said as she shrugged. "I hadn't seen him since I was five, and that wasn't a very great memory." She subconsciously rubbed her hip again, like she did a month ago when she was talking to her friends.

 

Hiei noticed this and decided he'd figure out why she did it. To him, the woman was rather interesting. True she was a miko, but she seemed to have no problems interacting with youkai. He noticed that the little girl had caught him looking at the woman, but she merely smiled at him. He could also hear her thoughts. Maybe he'll make momma happier...

The yuyu gang had decided to head to Genkai's to train, so they left Yusuke's new home and headed for the temple. Hiei checked on Yukina once they arrived, and growled when Kuwabara began talking to her. It was a few hours later that he decided he'd have to leave or he'd kill the oaf, so he decided to return to Yusuke's.

 

He and the detective had actually become friends in the last three years. So it shouldn't matter if he goes over to the man's house. When he arrived, he found Kagome outside in the forest. She was walking slowly through the trees and humming. Then she came upon a spring. "Guess Sano decided he'd give me a hot spring too."

Kagome's POV

 

After looking around to make sure no one was nearby, she stripped her clothing off. I know I can sense a presence nearby, but who is it? I know it's not Shippo, and this aura is definitely demonic.

 

Sighing, she lowered herself into the warm spring. All of her muscles began to relax as she hissed in pleasure. Oh how she loved hot springs. Sure, a nice warm bath was amazing, but she'd rather take a nice relaxing soak in a spring. She felt freer outside in the spring, surrounded by nature.

 

I wonder what the guys are up to? She sighed and relaxed further. Inuyasha...

 

Hiei's POV

 

His breath caught as he watched her undress. She normally wore tight and concealing clothing, and it did nothing to show her true figure. Her body seemed to be toned from what, he didn't know. Her chest was large, hips wide, legs slender and long, and she let her hair fall to it's full length.

 

It fell to just above her butt, and it gleamed in the sunlight that peaked through the canopy of the trees. He noticed though, that her bangs (AN. bangs are actually as long as rest of hair) turned a whitish silver, her lips turned a deep red, a purple crescent that wrapped around a pink star appeared on her forehead, her midnight blue eyes turned sparkling sapphire, slight claws and fangs appeared, and her ears slightly pointed.

 

He could even hear her thoughts. I know I can sense a presence nearby, but who is it? I know it's not Shippo, and this aura is definitely demonic. He chuckled to himself. So she knew someone was here? Then he saw her thoughts about loving to bathe outside more than inside. He also caught the name she thought of. Inuyasha...

 

Regular POV

 

Kagome felt the spike in ki that surrounded her, but thought nothing of it since it seemed familiar. Slowly rising from the water, she turned to dress. Completely missing the groan that came from the trees. For Hiei found the sight of her rising from the springs as arousing. As she slowly rose, water droplets started to glisten down her nude body. It made him want to grab her and rut.

 

Though he shook his head to dispel those thoughts. It annoyed him now, that a mere ningen onna could cause him to have these thoughts. True she did seem powerful, but she also seemed to not know just how powerful. Hell, he didn't even know how powerful. All he knew was that she was quite powerful and could purify.

 

Hearing another sigh, his attention turned back to her. "I know you're out there somewhere... are you gonna come out, or just keep hiding?"

 

"I'm not hiding." Hiei said darkly as he landed in front of her.

 

Her reaction was to jump backwards and slap her hand over her chest before glaring at him. "Don't do that!" She hissed angrily. "What is it with demons and jumping from trees to scare people?"

 

Hiei narrowed his eyes at her. "How is it you know so much about youkai?"

 

Kagome rolled her eyes at him. "Please, I used to get attacked by them on a daily basis, how could I not know about them?" His response was a growl. "Since I fainted yesterday, mind telling me what Makai is?"

 

"How do you not know if you know about demons?"

 

Kagome thought for a moment. It can't hurt to tell him about the past and the well... it doesn't work anymore. But what of the shikon? Can I tell him about that? Kagome sighed realizing that there was only one way to find out. "What do you know of the Shikon No Tama?"

 

Hiei's full attention suddenly snapped onto her. He hadn't heard of that in five hundred years, and now this ningen was bringing it up. Choosing his words carefully, he answered her. "It is a gem formed from miko ki and youki that gives extra power to the one who holds even a mere shard of it. I believe it also grants a wish, why?"

 

"What is your opinion of it? Would you use it if you had the chance?"

 

Hiei scoffed at the idea. "What is the point of using some stupid trinket to gain power? You don't earn it or work toward it, so it is rather pathetic to try."

 

He watched as she sighed in relief. "If I tell you my story, will you keep it a secret? I'm not really ready for anyone to know, but I need someone to talk to and not many people would believe me. You may not even believe me."

 

His eyes narrowed at her words. "Why isn't your story believable?"

 

She simply smiled at him. "Would you believe someone if they told you they traveled five centuries into the past?" Her response was widened eyes.
