Kagome climbed out of the well and into her shrine, tears flowing down her face. They were not sad tears, but a combination of angry and sad tears. She was angry because he betrayed her once again, and she was sad because he came after her on clay-pot's command to get her soul back.

She was going to return, yes, but not until she was trained in the art of swordsmanship from her childhood friend. She desperately wiped the tears away, vowing that she would never cry again. She was also happy because it was her birthday her 18th birthday. Her mother said something would happen that would change her life today. She left the well house shrine and went into the house. "Okaa-san I'm home."

"Kagome, why are you home so soon?" Her mother asked.

"I came to train with Hiei-kun. Has he been here lately?"

"Hn," was all she needed to know he was there. She ran into the kitchen and hugged him.

He was a fire demon with spiked black hair and a jagan eye. "What did the

half-breed do to you?" he growled out. "He tried to take my soul." Her

grip on his shirt tightened. He hugged her back.

"The hanyou will pay." Kagome pulled back and grinned. "Yes, he will, but by my hand. I wish for you to train me Hiei."

He looked into her eyes. "As you wish ningen," he said with humor, knowing full well she wasn't a ningen.

She punched him in the chest. "Thank you demon." They both laughed lightly

as her mother smiled. She turned and faced them, saying, "Kagome there's something I have to tell you. Please come sit down with me in the living room. Kagome followed her Okaa-san into the living room. Hiei followed too. They all sat down.

"Kagome, what I am about too say might change you... you are not a human."

Kagome's eyes widened. "You are a silver fire kitsune. Hiei will help you

control your fire powers, but you will have to find another kitsune to train

your kitsune powers."

"When will I change?" Her voice was full of joy and happiness. “At twelve

tonight you will be in pain, but it won't last long. Hiei, I ask you to stay with her tonight for I won't be here." He nodded.

"Where are you going Okaa-san?"

"I have to go speak with the wolf tribe. It's our annual meeting between the

kitsune and the wolves."

"What are you saying mother?" she asked confusedly. "You are princess of all the kitsune dear. Your father was the lord and I am lady. Now, I must be off."

"Why can't you train me mother?" Her mom smiled. "It is not my

destiny to train the princess of the kitsune. Goodbye my kit, I will see you in

three moon cycles."

"Three moon cycles! But you can't leave me for that long, what will I do

without you when I have to kill Inuyasha?" Her eyes sported tears. "Oh baby,

I know you don't want to kill the hanyou. He was your first love. Just remember

my kit, time heals everything, and plus, Hiei will help you through it." She

hugged her kit and then left.

"Hiei will you help me hate the hanyou?"

"I'd do anything to get you too hate that filthy hanyou."

"Let's start tonight then." Hiei nodded and followed her outside. They sat in front of each other. "First, think of all the times the dirty scum has betrayed you." Her eyes filled with hate as she remembered all the times he left her to go see the clay pot. "Good, now remember all the times he ever hurt you in any way, mentally and physically... so help me Kami if he hurt you physically I'll be the one killing him." He murmured the last part to himself.

He watched her hand unconsciously rose to her shoulder. His eyes turned to a darker color than regular, but he restrained his rage. No, she has the right to be his murderer, but if anyone gets in the way I'll kill them. Kagome felt her love for the hanyou rapidly disappear and be replaced by raw hatred. "Okay, I want you to remember the times he... he ever..."

"Ever what?" She then caught on, her eyes widening. "No he's never done

that, although he has watched me bathe before." She saw his eyes go even darker. It quickly left as they heard a voice. "So this is where you always go Hiei."

Hiei growled and stood up, Kagome following. "Why are you here Yusuke?"

Yusuke never took his eyes off the girl as he answered. "Toddler says we have to go to Makai ... who is this?"

Hiei stepped in front of her and growled warningly "I will not go on this mission. I have things to do. As to who this is, you will..."

"Hiei, it's ok" He smirked and stepped aside. "My name is Higurashi, Kagome."

"I'm Yusuke Urameshi, pleased to meet you."

"Hn," was all he got from her as Hiei once again stepped in front of her. "Leave Urameshi, before I force you to leave."

"Toddler won't like this."

"I don't give a shit what Koenma wants. Tell him I have other matters to attend to." Yusuke left with that. "Kagome, it's almost twelve."

"Holy shit, we spent that much time doing that?"

"It worked didn't it?" She smirked. "It sure did. The filthy hanyou will pay."

"We'll start swordsman ship tomorrow..." He watched as she fell to one knee, clutching her head.

He knelt beside her quickly and rubbed her back soothingly. "Kagome, fight it.

"Fight the pain or you will always have trouble dealing with pain." She held in a scream and bit her bottom lip. Blood oozed down her lip and off her chin as her fangs came and dug into her lip. Claws dug into the ground her ears moved to the top of her head, forming two kitsune ears. Her tail bone grew into a long fluffy tail, her eyes turned into a brilliant silver with blue specks, three jagged stripes formed on her cheeks, and silver flames with crimson red crimped the sides of the flames that spiraled up her two arms. A silver dragonhead with red eyes appeared on her forehead. Her breathing was at a fast pace. Another wave of pain shot through her before the transformation was complete.

Her breathing was calming as she stood up. Hiei watched as her heavily beating heart calmed. She was panting but smirked at him. "Heh, I didn't pass out." He smirked back.

"That's a good sign. Now let's go to bed." Kagome nodded and took one step and fell to her knee. "Damn it, why am I weak?"

"Hn. Transformation will take your strength away." He picked her up bridal style and carried her to her room. "Thank you... brother..." She then fell asleep.

"Goodnight sister."
