Kagome woke while it was still dark. She walked to the fireside and looked about the campsite looking for what had woken her. There was Miroku leaning against the tree. There was Kilala curled around Sango, who was using Kilala's tails as a blanket. There was Shippo asleep in Kagome's sleeping bag. There was InuYasha on a branch in a tree. So what had woken her? She looked to the sky and noticed a plume of smoke spiraling up towards the near-full moon.

She grabbed her bow and arrows and raced off without waking anyone. She arrived at a camp site just in time to see a small child dressed all in black hurl a fireball at a man and burn him to ashes. She could detect his youki from where she stood on the edge of the camp. The demon child must have sensed her because he turned to face her with another fireball in his hand. She could sense no evil intent from him but she could sense fear and a need to survive. She tuned into his youki and she was shocked. He was a forbidden child, the offspring of an ice maiden and a fire youkai. he was as tall as Kagome's mid-thigh including his gravity-defying black hair which was streaked with white.

I watched the woman closely as she approached me but she made no move to attack. When she was within three strides of me she stopped to lay down her weapons. 'Big mistake' I thought as i hurled a fireball at her she made no move to block the attack but simply stared at it. When my attack was about to hit her it disappeared. It was then I noticed a faint pink glow around her. 'Shit she's a priestess. But then why did she put down her weapons?'."What do you want priestess?"I demanded backing up a little

"Your name" she replied. "What would a priestess want with the name of a youkai she's going to kill?" I asked . She looked confused and the shocked. " Why would I even try to kill you when you have done me no wrong?"she asked. I looked at her warily "why would you want my name then?" I asked. "To know what to call you while I talk with you and heal you". I glared at her "priestesses don't help youkai they kill them". She laughed " i am no ordinary miko though". I glared at her but relented "Hiei"

She smiled and said " My name is Kagome and could you please turn around and take off your shirt so I can heal your wounds?". I complied and sat down.

The wounds on Hiei's back were deep but had begun healing thanks to his healing abilities. They were quickly healed when Kagome's glowing pink hands passed over them. While she was doing this Kagome asked " why were they after you Hiei? They were human not youkai so they were not after you because you are a Forbidden Child". Hiei tensed at this and Kagome ,noticing this, said to him " Why would I waste my energy healing someone just to turn around and kill them?".Hiei relaxed slightly but remained alert as he answered her. "They were after the jewels my tears turn into". Kagome laughed bitterly " So we are both wanted for the jewels we carry". Seeing Hiei's curious glance she told him her story starting from when she met InuYasha and not mentioning anything about the well. By the time she was finished the sky was beginning to turn light. Kagome stood up to retrieve her weapons while Hiei but his shirt back on and retrieved a katana Kagome hadn't noticed before." You are welcome to travel with me and my companions if you wish Hiei, no harm will come to you while you travel with us" Kagome called back while walking back towards the campsite with Hiei following silently behind her.
