Chapter 3: Not for the Childish Mind

He approached her quietly. He didn't want to startle her but at this time he already knew that she knew of his presence. He didn't much care. He was never one to be loud as it was.

"I have nowhere to go now," she whispered. "I already decided long ago not to live with Genkai. It would be unfair to her." She sighed. "And I cannot return to the shrine. It has already been destroyed completely."

"Hn." He sat beside her and looked at her. She was unfeeling right now. "You can always stay here." She shook her head.

"I don't want to put you out of your bed." She knew he only had that one bed. She didn't want to put him out of it but she wasn't exactly sure she wanted to share a bed with a complete stranger either.

"Who ever said you were going to put me out of a bed?" He could tell she already knew what he was hinting at. He wasn't going to be discrete anymore. He needed relief and he needed it soon. Seeing as she was here and he saw her as desirable, not to mention she owed him her life. "Oh no, quite the contrary."

She blushed, forgetting her anger and didn't even dare to look at the master of the dragon of the darkness flame. She knew he couldn't match her power but she knew he was one to get what he wanted, and apparently it was her at the moment. She couldn't exactly blame him though. This was his mating season and her heat was close to hitting soon. When it did she would be wanting him as well, even if he was a stranger. He was one of the stronger demons she had come across and she knew with some time and a bit more training he just might even come close to reaching her power, especially with the jagan she could feel trying to probe her mind. She was far too strong for that though. If she were to mate him, however, their off spring would be strong, and that was a good thing. They would also be immune to holy power and demonic power. Come to think of it, she had been attacked by a miko sometime ago but her body absorbed the power and shot it right back at the offending miko.

"You know you owe me," he whispered huskily and he could smell the purity that was around her. She was still a virgin, he knew. He could easily change that, and gain the honor of being this woman's first. She was far too good to pass up.

"I do." She swallowed hard. She knew she couldn't refuse him but she wasn't exactly ready to give up her virginity either. "However, I am… inexperienced with such things as… what you are proposing." She could feel the heat his body was giving off. She made an attempt to put distance between them but he wouldn't allow it. She could already smell the pheromones his body was giving off in his mating season. She was sure she'd be giving off pheromones when she was in heat and it would more than likely affect him, more so if he was still in his mating season, which would be likely.

"Hn." He smirked when he saw her swallow hard. He could tell she was having a hard time with what was happening. He could tell the heat and pheromones he was giving off were already affecting her. "I can more than teach you." He pinned her to the couch they were sitting on. He could now see the blush she wore. This caused his smirk to broaden and for him to be more confident of reaching his ultimate goal. He nipped her ear and could feel her body shudder at his touch. He could tell it wasn't from revulsion. No, she was slowly getting turned on. He could help it along some.

"I am still a virgin."

"I know," he whispered in her ear, his breath flowing over her exposed skin. "You should feel some honor with me being your first. I know I'm honored to be your first." He could feel her heart beat quicken. She was reacting to his advances but she was trying so hard to not let it show.

"It's not that, I assure you. I just don't know you and you don't know me." She tried to get out from under him but he seemed to realize this and shifted his weight to make it so she couldn't escape.

"Oh? I thought you could figure me out with all of your experience." He smirked as he nipped her ear again. Another shudder went through her body. He was winning slowly but surely. "You've shared quite a bit about yourself today. The rest I will be able to figure out."

"I…" she tried to speak but he kissed her neck and started to nip slightly, causing the moan she had been holding in to come out. She knew what he was doing and it was working. He was letting all the heat and pheromones do the work while slowly working on the outside to help it all along. At this rate his pheromones would push her into an early heat and they wouldn't be able to go two seconds without the other being all over the other.

"You what?" He nipped again and was pleased with the moan that came out. Her resolve was slowly going out the door.

"I…" she gave another moan. "You're evil, you know that." She moaned again as his hand slid down her side.

"Hn. I've been called that before." He smirked. He was getting bolder with his advancements now. She moaned again. "But I know exactly what you mean." He kissed her again and his hand landed on her hip. He wouldn't go too far without her permission.

"You," she moaned again and could feel his hand stop on her hip. "You are honorable and full of pride. You wouldn't do it unless I gave you permission." She moaned again but soon they were interrupted.

He had Kuwabara lead them back to the apartment building and up to the apartment itself. "You two wait here." He pushed the door open. Luckily enough for him Hiei didn't lock the door. The sight he was met with wasn't one he wanted to walk into in the first place.

He could see his cousin pinned under Hiei and Hiei had a hand on her hip as he made work on her neck. He could hear the moan his cousin exhibited. He heard what she had said and knew it to be true but that didn't help his anger at all. Hiei was just about fondling his cousin.

"What the hell are you doing, Hiei?" He growled out and affectively gained both of their attention. "You know the rules so get off her."

"Hn." He looked at Yusuke, as did Kagome. This wasn't exactly the position either of them wanted to be found in at the moment. Nonetheless Hiei got off her and stood to face Yusuke. At this time Kagome stood and fixed the sheet she was still wearing, having no clothes of her own anymore.

"Yusuke," she mumbled out, slightly embarrassed at how much control she had lost, but it wasn't her fault. Hiei was close and the pheromones had been strong in her nose and in the air.

"You have no right to touch her," he growled out. "You did not ask for my permission. As her last remaining relative, it is my duty to see to her."

"Hn." He looked Yusuke in the eye, agitated that he dared to interrupt his time with Kagome. "You very well know that it is no longer in your hands since the two of you are not related by blood. It is up to her." He saw Yusuke's glare but his attention was turned towards Kagome as she walked away and down the hall towards the bedroom. He knew what she was doing. She was going to look for something that just might fit her.

"Like hell I have no say. She is still my cousin by adoption and as her only remaining relative it is my duty to look after her."

"I'm a fully grown woman, Yusuke," Kagome said as she came out in a pair of Hiei's clothes. They fit fine but still showed a little of her chest. "I can take care of myself, not to mention I am far more powerful than you are." She sat on the couch, now unaffected by the pheromones. "I've been taking care of myself just fine."

"Is that why you almost died?" He reasoned. "Is that why I haven't heard from you in years?"

"Why do you care? You didn't even know I existed until today. You forgot all about me." She was absolutely bored and a bit irritated with the fact that they were interrupted. "Frankly I don't think I was that important to you if you forgot all about me."

"You know that isn't true," he shouted.

"Oh? You would have found some way to visit if you cared at all, but you didn't. You knew exactly where I was but you never wrote or visited." He seemed to be trying to interrupt her. "And don't even try to pin this on me. I had no clue as to where to find you. Your address changed too much so why bother? Mother felt the same after she found your mother trying to seduce father, but father was loyal and pushed her away."

"You don't get it at all."

"And you don't remember." She looked pointedly at him. "If you ask me, you lost the title of cousin a long time ago."

"You can't say that," he retorted.

"Oh really." She gave him a bored expression. "No call, no letter, no visit. From that I got that you thought I was dead. I was well aware of the fact your mother no longer wanted to be involved with me and mother from all the times she hung up on me." She saw the expression on Yusuke's face. "I bet she told you it was a wrong number. I always called but she always hung up on me. I gave up after two years of getting hung up on. When she found out that I found where the two of you lived she moved and kept doing so. After that I gave up and went on with my life. I tried to make contact but that was hard as well. I never found out where you went to school but when I did and I got up the courage to see you, you were always gone."

"Why didn't I ever know this?" He looked put out. "Mother was always so drunk. She was passed out most of the time."

"She never wanted you to know." She looked him in the eye. "I cared a lot, Yusuke. Your mother didn't care at all. She shoved me and mother away, and in doing so broke the family ties. I have no cousin." He looked hurt.

"You honestly think that?" He was quiet now. It seemed that the statement she made had hit him hard.

"How can I have a cousin when they thought I didn't exist?" She looked him in the eye. "You were better off not knowing about me."

"How can you say that? I thought we had fun as children."

"You don't remember so how can you think that? I remember the times as children Yusuke. We got along well, but you were gone for over a decade. I can't say we get along now." She looked him in the eye. "I went through much in your absence. I'm not a little girl anymore and I'm not so weak anymore. I've worked hard to earn what I have and the freedom I now posses. I was thrown into a world where I had nothing and knew no one. I managed to gain respect and independents there and I deserve it now, especially with the deaths of my family."

"I can't begin to ask for forgiveness, all I can ask is that you accept me as a cousin now. I didn't mean to lose contact with you."

"You are asking me to give up on the independents I've earned? You are asking me to give up my freedom and my right to free choice? I know demon custom Yusuke. If I were to do that, it would be you that made all the decisions for me. I don't like that thought. I can make decisions on my own and if I were to take a mate, he would have to be able to defeat me. To date, there is none that can do so. Therefore, I will never take a mate." This had struck Hiei hard.

'I don't have the power to beat her, but since when has that mattered? I only need a release, that is all. I hold no feelings for her. If there truly is someone strong enough to beat her I'll let her go.' But somehow the thought pained him.

"But if there were someone to be able to defeat me, they would only kill me. Who would want a forbidden child as a mate in the first place?" This also dawned on Hiei and made his heart ache. It meant that she didn't want to mate him after all. "I am the most forbidden child there ever was. For Hiei it would be easy to find a mate. I, on the other hand, would be killed mercilessly, that is if they could even hurt me." She seemed to smile innocently. "Not even a miko was able to destroy me."

Hiei relaxed knowing that she hadn't rejected him. She was rejecting herself, and yet she was smiling. Somehow he knew that she hated being on the top of the hunted list, but none dared because of the power she possessed. She was far too strong for anyone to take on, so why was there the feeling that if he tried he might have been able to? Maybe it came from the fact that he held the dragon at his bay? It was in his control. Somehow he felt that he could beat her if he wanted to.

"Right." Yusuke seemed at ease now. It meant that she wasn't really looking for a serious relationship. Hiei was probably the one that was looking for some sort of release from the problems his mating season brought on. "Fine. I'll try to prove to you that I'm still your cousin." He looked to Hiei. "Keep your hands off her." He turned and left.

"Let's go." The others could tell that he was down but didn't comment on it, just leaving with him.

Hiei looked to the door and closed it before locking it. Why risk another interruption? He didn't need anymore of those if he wasn't going to get repaid for what he had done for her. He turned and looked at her. She looked good in his clothes but now only the thoughts of her in his bed under him was seemed welcome.

"Hiei, you will never be able to beat me. The relationship you want is purely sexual, therefore I don't care but I'm not in the mood for any such thing at this time." She had grabbed a pillow and blanket from the closet and had put them on the couch. "You can keep your bed, but I'll be sleeping on the couch." She made it known by actually taking up a sleeping position on the couch, her back to him.

"Hn." He was still wound up and his blood was already boiling. He needed the release and there was no way he was going to be put out tonight. He could find someway to convince her but if she said no then he wouldn't do anything. He'd stop and let her leave the room if she so wanted to. But right now he was bent on convincing her.

He looked at her back and saw her exposed neck. That was where he was going to start first. He knew the heat from his body and the pheromones would also help convince her. So he approached and laid behind her so she couldn't escape. When she seemed to tense, he took it as a sign that she knew his intent and was on her guard.

"Not now Hiei," she commented dryly.

"Hn." He didn't seem to listen. She needed a little persuasion and he knew he could do it ever so gently. So he started to kiss her neck. He could feel her relax a little but not a lot and so he started to nip slightly and he saw her eyes close slightly. He could tell that the pheromones from earlier were still stuck in her bloodstream so it wouldn't take much longer. Just a little work and he'd have her moaning and perhaps even calling out his name.

He continued on only now he had an arm wrapped around her and the other was gently massaging her stomach and side. She was now moaning ever so slightly, especially when he nipped in the right area. He could tell she was getting turned on, but was trying to resist. He'd applaud her will but she was going to crumble soon. No woman yet was able to resist him, especially when he knew just how to turn her on.

She couldn't fight it now. He was turning her on and the fact that the pheromones and heat were still in her system didn't help any. In fact, it was her down fall right now. She could feel herself becoming aroused at his antics. Her resolve had left her and she was trying so hard not to moan but that was hard when you had such a persistent man on your hands. In fact, he was still within his honor. He was yet to go below the belt. He was waiting for her permission to go ahead.

"You know for a fact you want it," he said huskily in her ear. "You can't fight it either." He could smell her arousal and smirked. He was winning the battle. He would soon claim his prize and rid her of such a burden as her virginity. He just had to hear her say it.

"Please," she whispered, trying hard to fight it now, but she knew she was losing.

"Please what? Do you want more or do you want me to stop?" He knew she was crumbling. Soon she'd be asking for more.

"I…" She moaned again and could no longer hold out. She tried to move away but she was trapped between the back of the couch and Hiei. There was no escaping so she pushed back on him but could feel the hard member against her ass. It didn't help any and she gulped silently. She tried harder but soon they fell to the floor and he released her. She stood and looked down at him. She could see the glint in his eyes and it caused her to run to the room, him on the chase.

He smirked and took off after her. When he made it to the room he closed the door and looked at her. She was in the far corner of the room. He advanced slowly, increasing the sexual tension that had built up. She tried to shrink into the corner but it was impossible. He was already upon her and she was again trapped.

He locked eyes with her but kissed her fully on the lips soon after. She gasped and he took full advantage of it, delving into her mouth and tasting every inch of it. She seemed to melt so he picked her up and placed her on the bed. She wasn't resisting much now, so he took it as a sign to go ahead. But he still hadn't gone below the belt, taking his time in slowly torturing her.

First he went back to her neck and slowly started to kiss and nip. She moaned out, trying to fight but he was on her, pinning her to the mattress. Next he started to run his hand down her side, successfully getting a shudder of delight out of her. He was working slowly but then again he had to if he were to convince her. Now he was slowly removing her shirt. He could feel her take in a breath at the cold air that hit her skin but the heat from him soon replaced the cold feeling. When the shirt was off he started to kiss down her neck and to her flat stomach. He paused slightly and looked up at her. She was breathing quickly from trying to fight it but he knew she had lost all resolve and just kept up with the act. It seemed she was actually enjoying foreplay. He didn't care, he'd give it to her if it helped him succeed in his ultimate goal to deflower her and get the release he needed.

She didn't know this could feel so good. She could feel his lips on her stomach and now he was at her belly button. It seemed he had taken a liking to it and was now bent on torturing her by actually kissing around it and soon licking it. She shuddered and her lower region tightened. She could tell that she was aroused. Who wouldn't be after what he was doing to her? Now he was making his way back up and was now kissing her right breast. She moaned when he took the nipple into his mouth and sucked on it. She knew at this point there was no stopping him.

He could feel her nipple hardened as he sucked on one and massaged the other. He could tell her resolve wasn't coming back but proceeded to torture her even more. So he ran his hand down her flat stomach and over her clothed lower half. He came to her thigh and started to massage it, slightly going over her sensitive area. He heard her gasp and could already tell that she was beyond her resolve. It seemed her resolve ran away with it's bags packed.

"Mm." She closed her eyes. She really was aroused now. But she wouldn't tell him to go on yet. She wanted to see just how far he would go. But now she could, she was already pushing it. She could feel his need against her thigh and that alone had brought her close to her first orgasm. The thought alone of what he could possibly do was enough.

"Please," she said again between moans.

"Please what?" He looked her in the eye briefly before retuning to his administrations. She moaned again and she shuddered. He could already tell she was going to orgasm from what he had done. He smirked at the thought.

"Please, more," she spoke and she could feel him smirk against her neck.

He got what he wanted but he waited long enough. He would torture her some more before she told him she wanted it. He knew it was cruel but she had to learn that he got what he wanted. So now he slowly removed her pants, hands sliding down her thighs. She shivered when she felt his hand coming back up but only now going over her inner thigh and the sensitive area. But his hand never left, instead he proceeded to slowly finger her. This got a moan from her and he picked up just a little. He could tell she was desperate now but he would only take it from her when she said.

She could feel his fingers slowly glide past the clit. She was sure he was doing it on purpose but could only moan. This caused the motion to become faster and she knew just what it was he was doing. He was going to make her orgasm then beg for it. She was hurting now. Her stomach muscles tightened and the first orgasm came. She panted but it seemed he wasn't done yet. No, he was far from done. She had another orgasm and he smirked at the look on her face. She was already so far gone.

He felt her rub against his fingers and smirked. From that alone he could tell she wanted it but she hadn't given him the go ahead. He would wait until she said she wanted him. It wouldn't take much more but right now he removed his fingers from her folds and held her in place with his hands. He would continue his torture. He drifted down now and found his destination. He first kissed it and then licked the juices she had secreted. Then he slowly slid his tongue in and continued on. He could feel her shudder and she moaned again. This time he fingered her as he licked her nether regions. He was going to make her orgasm again and see what she had to say. He could tell it was coming and soon she did. He pulled back and looked her in the face. He licked his lips and she looked at him. He leaned down and kissed her.

"Mm." She wanted it badly so she felt him out with her hips. She could feel him but he was kissing her now. But she knew he wasn't going to give it to her without her saying anything. When he drew back, she looked him in the eye. Her vision was already hazy as it was. "I…" She moaned as his hand came in contact with her sensitive area. "Now." She tried to move closer but he didn't allow her to. This was pure torture. "Please, I want you now." And he smirked as he pulled off his pants and shirt.

"This might hurt." And he slowly pushed into her, breaking the barrier that had existed. She hissed but beyond that nothing. He waited a while for the pain to leave and soon he started to go in and out. She seemed relaxed now so he continued on. She was moaning and slowly tried to go up but he held her in place and kept going, only now he was picking up speed. She was moaning more loudly now and had wrapped her legs around him, forcing him farther in.

'Damn she's tight.' But it didn't seem to bother him. In fact it made him harder. 'And I thought I couldn't get more turned on.' He kept it up and went faster and harder. He could feel her legs tighten around him but paid it no mind as he continued on. He felt her coming but he was far from coming now. He smirked and pushed in harder and faster, another orgasm going through her body. 'She feels so good.' He continued on but he was far from coming. He knew she would orgasm multiple times but he would need a break soon. He'd let her do as she wanted soon as it was.

He flipped them so that she was now on top. Her knees were at his side and he was still in her. 'She isn't so tight now but that doesn't matter.' He helped her to rock but soon he was letting go as she picked up on what he wanted. She was riding him now and she had her head back, her hair going down her back. He moaned slightly as he closed his eyes. She was picking up speed now and she was sure she could last a while longer. She had the endurance any woman wished they had, and he would soon learn that. She would torture him now, as payback.

He could feel the orgasm she had but it seemed she wasn't stopping. He was turned on and opened his eyes to see her displayed before him. She was riding him like he had never been ridden before. He moaned again and closed his eyes again. At this rate he would come before he was ready to. He couldn't allow that but he didn't want to get up yet either. God how he liked this. He didn't want to move and he was content to let her ride him.

Soon, however, he had pulled away and had her face down in the mattress. She wasn't sure what was going on but soon she felt him enter her again. She moaned and he started at it again. He knew he would come soon but he would get her to come with him. So he continued on and soon she was moaning loudly and she screamed out his name just as they came. He collapsed beside her and she rolled over, only to throw her arm across him. She snuggled up to him and he pulled the blankets over them before she fell asleep.

'That was the best I have ever had.' He looked down at her. For a virgin she did good. 'It'll only get better. Whoever she mates will be lucky.' The thought had hurt him. Somehow he had gotten attached to her without even realizing it. 'If I were to pursue her I'd have to get stronger. I have to beat her in order to make it happen.' He looked at her again. The marks were fascinating to him. There were so many but they only made her look far more beautiful. They weren't like the ones he knew the deceased lord of the west had. No, they were intricate curves and they were beautiful. They were a light silver color. He couldn't help but trace one that was on her back. It formed some sort of character but he couldn't read it upside down, but then again part of it was clearly visible when they were in spirit world. He would make sense of it later though. For now he was going to sleep. He would find someway to train later. He would need to if he had any hope of defeating her.

Yusuke sighed as he approached his mother. "Why didn't you tell me Kagome was trying to contact me?" He asked and she jumped before turning around.

"You saw her?" He nodded. "But how?"

"My friend found her. It turns out her mother, her brother, and grandpa are dead. They died recently. It seemed they were attacked at night and the house caught fire. There is nothing left. She's staying with my friend but from what she says it's only temporary. She'll be returning to her other home soon." He looked at her with a scowl.

"Tell me the truth. Why were you so bent on keeping the two of us separated? Why did you stop contacting them after her father's death?"

"Look Yusuke, I can't tell you."

"You were in love with her father, weren't you? But he remained faithful to his wife."

"That isn't it!" She was in tears now. "I did love him but that wasn't why I cut ties with them." She tried to calm down. "Kagome was always awkward. I could tell. She would always watch me when I was there, like she knew what I was trying to do. I gave up on trying to get her father along time ago." She sat in a chair. "Kagome was adopted when she was a baby. I told sister it wasn't wise to adopt her. I could sense something was off. But she didn't listen. She took her in anyways, saying the little girl needed a family. It was all well but I knew something was wrong."

"Mother, Kagome is different."

"I know. So when her father died in that car accident I became worried. I had gone over without you. I didn't want to put you into any danger."

"Danger?" He was confused. Kagome's and his mother's stories were different.

"Yes. When I got there she was crying but her mother and brother weren't home. She was seven at the time, slightly older than you. But that wasn't what worried me. There was a giant light around her. It scared me. It was so inhuman. I panicked and ran, deciding it best to keep you from her. I figured if you kept contact with her she would somehow hurt you."

"Mother, she feels alone! Do you know how hard it was for her? Even now she says she has no cousin, no family at all because you thought it best to keep away from her. I don't know exactly what happened to her, but now she isn't at all like she would have been. She's so uncaring now, so unfeeling and speaks so harshly, even when she holds such an innocent smile on her face." He was right, but at the same time she still seemed pure and untainted by anything. "Somehow though, she's still so innocent and pure. Kuwabara told me so."

"If you had seen that light you would have ran Yusuke. You would have tried to avoid her at all cost."

"And what about father?" He asked.

"Your father?" She looked fear stricken. He had never asked about it before but now it had to come out. "He left a long time ago and he never returned. He was handsome, but I guess not every handsome man would stand by the woman that was carrying their child."

"Mother, he's dead. I found his grave and I visit for inspiration," Yusuke admitted. "He will never come back because of that." She seemed to nod but looked away.

"He was different, I just don't know how."

"I do." And he left for his room.
