Chapter 7~ Return to the Present

Hiei and Kagome ran back to the camp to find Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kouto, Innari, Kamina, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kirara, and Kurama sleeping. Hiei and Kagome leapt into the tree they had occupied before leaving, and fell asleep before the others returned. The others returned soon after, and settled down for sleep with evil grins on their faces.

~*~*~*~ Kagome and Hiei's Dream~*~*~*~

They were once again back in their cherry grove under the full moon, only this time they were actually sparing. There was a metallic ring as both blades met sending a cluster of sparks into the darkness. They were both panting, but not from exhaustion, they were aroused. They had been interrupted more times then they'd care to count, and all of this had caused for the sexual tension to thicken into a coil that could almost be seen.

This however wasn't why they were aroused, every time they met swords; they brushed up against each other. In hopes of relieving the tension, Kagome had begun to rub up against Hiei during their last meeting, however this backfired making both Hiei's and Kagome's desire reach a new peak. They met again, their swords locking, and Hiei decided to take advantage of the close situation to disengage one hand and slowly bring it up the inside of her thigh, it was then they both noticed that they were nude.

Kagome shuddered from the contact, nearly dropping her blade from the sensations, but she refused to lose. She jumped back, disengaging her blade, and rushed forward, the tip of her katana aimed for his heart. He dodged barely, but the thrust had just been a distraction from Kagome's true motive. She reached her hand out to teasingly stroke his erect member, giving it a little squeeze before her momentum carried her out of range.

Hiei moaned at the fire running through his veins, his eyes shining with need. He decided it was time to end this little game and once again engaged her in battle. He locked their blades again, but this time managed to throw both blades away from them. Kagome retaliated by starting a match of hand-to-hand combat. This quickly went from blows to caresses and groping. They were so far lost in their delirium that neither noticed when they stopped fighting and began kissing. Hiei quickly maneuvered Kagome under him and positioned himself between her legs.

His erection was rubbing roughly against her clit causing her to whimper with want. She flipped him over so she was on top; `I want you in me, NOW.' She said, positioning herself over him. Just as she was about to impale herself on his hard arousal...

~*~*~*~End Dream~*~*~*~

"I'm a woman!!!" Everyone was jerked out of sleep by the obnoxious sound, Hiei and Kagome looked ready to kill.

"That's it!!" Kagome screamed causing several people to jump, and one poor hanyou to crash into the ground. "I'm going home for a while." With that, she jumped on Shan's back and took the skies. Everyone stared after her for a moment, and then looked around the camp. Innari was snuggled up with Sesshoumaru, Kamina was being held tightly by Inuyasha, seeing as he had pulled her out of their tree branch when he fell, Sango and Miroku were cuddled together, and Kurama had his arm draped around Boton's waist. All of them quickly jumped apart while blushes spread across their cheeks.

Hiei Hn'ed while quickly running to catch up with Kagome. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kouto, and the children laughed at the "couples" expense. The Yu Yu gang decided to head home until Kagome was ready to come back. Kouto went home, and Innari, Sesshoumaru, Kamina, and Inuyasha decided to await Kagome's return. Shippo and Rin of course decided to stay with them.

Kagome had Shan wrapped around her neck in snake form when Hiei arrived at the well. `Guess we're going back to school today, maybe after we can finally be alone without any interruptions.' Kagome thought to Hiei as they jumped through the well. As they had been awoken just before dawn, they still had about three hours till school stated. Kagome used that time to shower, eat, dress, and reflect on the encounters she has shared with Hiei. Hiei on the other hand spent his time watching Kagome's every move and reliving all their intimate moments.

Kagome walked outside in her black and silver school uniform with her black backpack over her shoulder. `Are you coming my little tree sprite?' Kagome asked with a hint of amusement, she knew Hiei had been watching her.

`You're one to talk about tree sprites, you're in them as much as I am. Nice underwear by the way,' he said remembering the transparent black garments. On the way to school, Kagome remembered when she discovered Sesshoumaru in her time. She had seen his face on a magazine, and gotten in touch with him. Surprisingly he didn't live to far from her home.

~*~*~*~ Flashback~*~*~*~

It was the day after Kagome met Hiei, and she was extremely happy. She was walking home from school, when a picture on the cover of a magazine caught her eye. There was Sesshoumaru without his markings and he was standing in front of the house three blocks away. The caption read, "Homes of the very rich and reclusive."

`He's alive!?' Kagome thought to herself as she decided to walk over there. `Maybe it's just a slight resemblance.'

Using some of her new skills, she snuck into his house, and through an open window. When she looked up, she was surrounded by one of the biggest libraries she'd ever seen. She was so caught up in the sight, that she didn't sense the presence behind her until Shan snarled a warning and pinned the threat beneath him.

The figure beneath Shan looked a lot like Sesshoumaru, except his eyes were green, his hair was shorter, and he looked about her age. She could tell he was a youkai though, just not Sesshoumaru.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm sorry," she said while avoiding the question, "I thought someone else lived here. Please forgive us."

Shan released the green-eyed youkai had walked back over to Kagome, "Who did you think lived here?" He asked while positioned to attack. Kagome was about to answer, when suddenly she was barreled into from behind in wrapped in a tight embrace.

"Kagome!!" A voice yelled in delight.

Kagome slowly got over the shock and realized who had her trapped. "Innari!?!?!" She yelled in shock, "You're alive!" She then turned in the arms that were around her and hugged her tightly.

"Okaasan," said the boy from earlier. "you know her?"

"Oh, yes, this is Higurashi Kagome, your..."

She was interrupted by the next arrival, Sesshoumaru. "So Kagome, you've finally found me, and by the looks of it you've already got your Shadow."

"You know about Shan?" She asked slightly surprised.

"Oh, so you haven't gone back yet, don't worry, you'll understand next time you come back from the Feudal era, just remember that you're still part of the family, and I will help you whenever I can. Also, this is my son, Daokotsu."

~*~*~*~ End Flashback~*~*~*~

She smiled and took Hiei's hand as they ran to school; the others were already there when they arrived, having gotten back about an hour after them. (In case you're wondering, they were only gone for the day.)

The whispers were running wild across the school as they saw thee Kagome enter school holding hands with that boy from Monday. Word had it that Urameshi Yusuke, the top punk, was her cousin, and one of the new boys as well.

"It's not fair," one girl commented, "How'd a weirdo like her get a hottie like him?"

"Can you believe how many hot guys she's got with her?"

And Kagome's personal favorite, "The boy she's latched onto is probably just some visiting relative. After all, a girl like her could never land a guy as hot as him. I think I'll get him to go out with me after school, after all, no guy can resist me." This said by a bleach blonde with way too much make up on. (AN: Don't you just hate it when you here people talking about someone behind their backs, and don't have the guts to say it to their face? What's really bad is I've heard these comments made.)

After hearing that last one, Kagome decided to make it clear that Hiei was hers, and that they were to stay away. `Hiei, I going to make sure that thing knows she doesn't have a chance, do you mind? Kagome asked sweetly, if a bit seductively.

`Not at all, what do you have in mind?' He asked with a mixture of amusement and anticipation.

`Just follow my lead.' Her voice was a whisper in his mind. She said bye to the reikai tentai and led Hiei over toward her locker, where the blonde just happened to be standing. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him full force on the lips. He pushed her up against the lockers as the entire school went deadly quite and watched them.

The blonde looked on in utter shock as Hiei's hands roamed Kagome's body. She lifted her legs off the ground and wrapped them around her waist, in the courtyard, there was finally a sound, Yusuke was cheering his cousin and friend on, and the Youko in Kurama was smirking when he realized what they were doing.

Hiei's hands had started to travel up her skirt when the blonde finally came to her senses. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?!?!?!?!?" She cried in rage as she grabbed Hiei's hand. Hiei growled, he had completely forgotten where they were, or even what they had started for. The blonde obviously hadn't heard him because she continued, "You don't deserve someone like him, and he deserves someone better." She said this while looking at Hiei and batting her heavily painted eyes at him.

"You mean someone like you?" Kagome asked as she peered into her mind, `so her name is Kimiko' she thought to Hiei, and as an after thought, `why must we always be interrupted?'

Hiei smirked, so she had forgotten too, now how to get rid of this bitch?

"Oh, so you admit I'm better than you? Well at least you realize your place in life." Kimiko smirked, thinking she had gained the upper hand. "Why don't you come with me Hiei, I'm sure you'll fit in fine with my friends, and you won't have to be associated with the likes of her." She smiled in what she thought was a seductive manner, but was really quite disturbing.

Hiei just looked at her like she was crazy, he ripped his hand out of her grasp and glared at her, but did not say a word, words were saved for people he cared for. `Yes, like your sister and your friends. `

`And you.' He said to her while ignoring Kimiko. Kagome smiled at him and decided to get rid of their little twit, so they could get on with school, and afterwards, more important matters.

"The likes of me, you say, what you mean your better, at everything. You mean someone who hasn't given herself to every guy who's willing, or do you mean someone who does not rely on make up to make herself wanted. Or maybe you mean someone with self respect and talent, with a heart and respectability." She smiled as innocently as she could while still having her legs wrapped around Hiei and with him stroking the inside of her thigh.

"This coming from the slut with her legs wrapped around someone who has only been going to this school for two days." Kimiko says with a sneer.

"This coming from a slut who was kicked out of her last school for sleeping with her teachers to get passing grades." There was a shocked look on her face, but Kagome continued, "This coming from the slut who is now sleeping with her father's business partner so that he wont tell your father about the time he caught you in his pool with his son. Oh, and just so you know, he may have only been going here for a couple of days, but I've known him for much longer."

It was then that the bell rang, Kagome reluctantly released her hold on Hiei, and they went to class, it was then that Kimiko realized that not only had she been showed up, but also now the entire school knew what she was. She ran home, and it was learned soon after that she was transferred to a private school.

It wasn't until third hour, which was history that anything else really happened. They were going over Japanese myths and legends, and today they were discussing Shadows and Riders. "Today class, we will be talking about mythical creatures known as Shadows. They were believed to be demons that possessed not only humans, but youkai as well. They were known to cause drastic changes in personality and wanted nothing so much as to take over the world.

"They were both male and female and reproduced by having their hosts mate and ripping the soul from the unborn child, it would cause still birth, and often the death of the mother as well. If that was the case, the Shadow would leave it's Rider, which is the host, and find a new one. It was said the Shadows were defeated by a mighty race called the Light Bringers.

"The Light Bringers were known as shape shifters, but were also good or evil, they would bond with someone they considered themselves to be compatible with and would extend the life of their bonded to that of their own. That is all that is known of this race." The teacher concluded her lecture with his theory that the story was created by the villagers of the past to explain why they miscarried.

Kagome was silently fuming, so was Shan, `How dare they mistake us with the light Bringers!!' Came Shan's enraged voice.

`You mean they were real, what happened?' Kagome asked intrigued by what is now her past, or at least the past of her people.

`Hai, they were real, and the Light Bringers are what they called themselves, they had another name, they were called Hell Bringers. The story is however correct once you switch the place of the Shadow Riders and Hell Bringers. We killed the Hell Bringers because the souls they corrupted were the souls we bonded with, they stole our other halves, and turned them against us. They were trying to get rid of all the Shadows and Riders so that they could prove they were the strongest beings.'

`Hmm, in a minute I'm going to correct this teacher, but until then, you once told me that Shadows bond with their Riders at the age of seventeen, for demons would that be the same?'

`No, actually demons don't get bonded until their eighteenth demon year, why?'

`I think Hiei may become a Rider, I can see the outline of a Shadow that follows him.'

`That may be possible, how old is he?' Shan asked.

`Hiei, how old are you, in demon years?'

`I'll be eighteen in about four days, so will my sister.' (AN: I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm going to have Yukina and Hiei as twins.)

`Thank you!! Now, to set this teacher straight!' Aloud, Kagome said, "Excuse me, Sensei, but you have been misinformed. You've got the names switched, It was the `Light Bringers who possessed, and The Shadows and Riders who defeated them. The Light Bringers real name was the Hell Bringers, and the souls they corrupted were the souls of the potential Riders of the Shadows.

"The Hell Bringers actually would never have been destroyed had they not targeted the Shadows and Riders in attempt to become the most powerful of all the races. The were also lucky that it was left to the newer Shadows and Riders to dispose of them, or else they might still be alive to this day being slowly tortured out of existence. That race is well known for its fearsome vengeance." Kagome wasn't sure how she knew that last part, but she knew it was true.

The entire class was now staring at her as though she had grown a second head. She had spoken more than they had ever heard her speak, and was contradicting the teacher who was set in believing he was always right. He was known to give harsh punishments to those who corrected him.

"Ms. Higurashi, while I'm sure you firmly believe what you say, It has been recorded as I said, though you may think you know it all, I am the history teacher and this is what is known. Now I will here no more of your wild stories unless you have proof."

"Oh, but I do have proof. "Kagome stuck her hand into her backpack, and transported a scroll written in ancient Japanese with the story she just told in greater detail written on it."She pulled it out and said, "I am the miko of my family shrine, my shrine is hundreds of years old, and over the years the shrine has collected the ancient artifacts and legends of the land. My brother, Taisho Sesshoumaru gave this scroll to me. It dates back about nine hundred years, it has been excellently preserved."

Kagome got up out of her seat and showed it to him. "This is in ancient Japanese, there is no way you could read that, not even I can read that. By the way I highly doubt that you know Taisho Sesshoumaru, the worlds top archeologist, multi-millionaire, and head of Japans school board. There is no way you are his sister."

"I can read it, and he is my brother though not of blood." Kagome said flatly.

"Prove it. There is a copy of a scroll posted on that wall, it's written in ancient Japanese, translate that, I have a copy of the translation." He smirked thinking he had her now, there was no way she could continue this charade.

Kagome walked up to the scroll and began reading aloud. The sensei pulled out his translation and his jaw dropped as she read word for word what was on the translation. When she finished, Kagome turned to him and smirked.

He scowled at her, and said, "That doesn't prove that that is what your scroll says, or that you know Taisho Sesshoumaru. For lying to me, all of your lunches, and after school for an hour all week you will come in here and write `I shall not lie to my superiors'." He smirked and sat down.

`That's it!' Kagome thought "out loud" so Hiei could hear her. `I'm calling Sesshoumaru.' Kagome smirked evilly at the teacher.

`Sesshoumaru, are you busy?' Kagome sent through her link to her oniisan.

`Iie, what's wrong Kagome?' He asked with barely concealed worry in his thoughts.

"My teacher called me liar because I said you were my oniisan when I showed him a scroll I "borrowed" from your library and translated it. I proved I could read ancient Japanese, and he said I lied about what I read and made it all up. Now he's making me write "I will not lie to my superiors" everyday at lunch and after school for a week!! Do you think you could come down to my school, please!' Kagome sent a picture of her with a "puppy dog "look to him.

`I'm already here, and outside the door, I'm coming in now. Pretend I came early to pick you up for an afternoon together to get to know your boyfriend.' He closed the link and walked into the room.

Kagome jumped out of her seat before he was fully in the room, and barreled into his chest while yelling, "Oniisan, you're early!!!"

Sesshoumaru was in a human disguise, he still looked the same just without the tail or markings. "Hai Imouto, I wanted to see how you've improved in training. How have you been?" He asked while walking her back to her seat. Everyone watched as Kagome told him what had just happened while clinging to him.

He glared at the teacher who had gone deathly pale since his entrance. There could be no mistaking thee Taisho Sesshoumaru, and right now he was sending him a death glare for calling his Imouto a liar.

Sesshoumaru took the scroll from Kagome and walked up to the teacher, "Would you call me a liar as well, and I assure you she has told you nothing but the truth concerning the scroll. She has also told the truth of our relationship. You do know it is illegal to treat students the way you do, correct? I shall see that you never teach again for this." It was then that the bell rang for lunch. Sesshoumaru walked back to Kagome and Hiei as they stood. Impulsively Kagome hugged him tightly before climbing onto Hiei's back and wrapping her arms and legs around him.

Hiei looked at Kagome, `That eager to be close to me, huh?' He put his hands under her thighs, and slowly slid them back and forth, each time coming closer to her opening. She bit back a moan while grinding into him, they both shivered at the sensations that brought.

`Do you think you could restrain yourselves until after school?' Sesshoumaru asked with amusement, they looked at him and sighed in resignation. Kagome however did not get off Hiei's back, and he wouldn't have let her if she tried. The three of them headed outside for lunch and sat at the table with the rest of the group.
