A Change Will Happen

Chapter Four

Fun to Serious

Last time:

"Toguro?"

"I have decided to go live in the human world… Listen, Kagome has just asked me to leave and I think that that would be best," he explained as Koenma nodded and watched him go. Once he left, Koenma realized something.

"Wait… Kagome asked him to do what?" With that said, he ran to Kagome's room.

This time:

"So, Hiei, mind telling me why you didn't tell us that Kagome had woken up? Or maybe, you can explain why you were crying?" Yusuke asked as he was cut on the face by Hiei's sword. "Not cool…" They were still in Koenma's office.

"Yes, that would be interesting to hear," Kurama said as he dodged Hiei's attack. "Attacking me to avoid talking to us isn't going to help much…" Hiei had punched Kurama in the face and jumped away from him. Kurama grinned. "Then, maybe you would like to tell me how you have a crush?"

"Hiei's got a crush? Oh… wait, don't tell me it's her?" Yusuke said as Hiei aimed for him. Yusuke watched as Hiei's arm started to become covered in dark flames. "Oh come on! Hiei we're sorry! We don't mean anything that we're saying now! Let's just get to Koenma and see how he's doing with Kagome!" With that said, Yusuke ran in the direction that Koenma left.

Kuwabara said nothing; no matter how much he wanted to make fun of Hiei. There was something about Hiei's power at the moment that frightened him more than when he saw it for the first time. He decided to follow Urameshi and pretend that this never happened.

"Well, fox, you going to say anything else?"

"No," Kurama said as got up off the ground and walked around Hiei as Hiei followed his movements. He calmly followed the others as he felt Hiei behind. He felt like he was prey and that was never a good thing.

When Koenma had got to Kagome's room, he slowly opened the door and peaked his head in. "Hiei?" said Kagome she opened her eyes. Koenma was at her side in seconds.

"No, Kagome, it's me… Koenma," he said as he grabbed her hands. She still felt like she was dead. Her hands were freezing.

Kagome nodded ever so lightly that Koenma couldn't tell if he nodded or not. "Hmm… hi brother…"

"Never scare me like that again," he told her. She didn't move much but she did look at him. Her eyes were now white. "Why do your eyes keep changing colors?"

"My forms… are trying to heal…"

"Okay. Next question, how did you get Hiei to cry? From what I've seen, he's never done that before," Koenma said as Kagome smiled at him.

"I might have said… some things to him… but hey, I guess… that he can do the same thing to me… so we're even," she said as she looked to door as Yusuke and Kuwabara walked in. "Hi… guys…"

"How are you doing?" asked Kuwabara as he sat down on the other side of the bed.

"I'm fine… thanks for asking…" she smiled to him and turned back to Koenma. "When is Yukina going… to come?"

"When Hiei's not here," Koenma answered just as Kurama walked into the room with Hiei behind him, glaring.

"Why are you mad… Hiei?" Kagome asked.

"Hn…"

She laughed a little. "They're only curious… You did something that they… never saw before and it's… only natural for them to be curious."

He went to say something and closed his mouth. 'Never mind that thought…'

"You were a little more talkative… when it was just us… What happened? You afraid of what they will… think?" she asked as he glared.

"No!"

She laughed again. "Of course not," she said as she turned to Yusuke. "Yusuke how's Keiko?"

Yusuke turned quickly to her. "How do you know Keiko?"

"I've known her for… a while… until some things happened…" She looked to the end of the bed for a second then back up to Yusuke. "So, you've been skipping… out on dates with her?"

"What? No, I haven't…" He looked away from her…

"Like I said before… you can't hide from me… wait… I said that to Hiei… okay then, Yusuke, you can't hide from me," she ranted with a laugh here and there. Everyone but Hiei laughed along with her.

Yusuke glared at her and then noticed something. "Hey… Koenma!" Koenma looked startled and slowly turned to him. "You never answered all my questions. Mind answering them now?"

"Huh… you noticed… damn…" He scratched his cheek a little. "Well… I explained who she was and how she was able to steal your attack… hmm… what was the next one?" He looked to the ceiling and then it clicked. "Oh yeah-"

"I'm a forbidden child… because of my father…" answered Kagome as Koenma's mouth dropped. "I've already told Hiei… about it… So Hiei, do me another favor…" She was falling asleep yet trying hard to stay awake. Hiei nodded to her as she started talking again. "I'm falling asleep… so explain to them what I told you… Koenma knows nothing…"

"What do you mean I know nothing?" Koenma asked as he noticed that Kagome was out. He snapped his fingers a couple times. "Damn… she's really out." He looked to Hiei. "Okay, so what is it that I don't know, Hiei?"

"Of all the things to agree to…" he said as he growled although, he did talk. "All she said was that her father was the forbidden child and that he came from a long line of forbidden children."

"I thought that her mother was the forbidden child…" Koenma said. "Shows how much I know…"

"Koenma, does this mean that she's not your sister?" Kurama had asked as Koenma looked at him in shock.

"Kagome's been with me since I was little… littler than my other form but… I don't get it. I mean, it would explain all the times she's left but why would she want to go back to that woman?"

"She left multiple times because she figured out who her real mother was," stated Hiei as he leaned against the wall. He placed his hands in his pockets.

"Hiei… what do you know that I don't?" Koenma asked as he stared at him.

"Her mother doesn't know that Kagome is her real daughter. She figured out why she has four elements instead of two. And I've figured out why she has no aura or energy," he told them as Koenma fell to the floor, Kuwabara looked up from Kagome to Hiei, and Yusuke blinked.

"That would explain why this room feels empty," said Kurama as he leaned against the bed post.

"How do you know that?" Koenma asked slowly.

Hiei grinned at him, which made him flinch. "She can't hide from me."

Yusuke marched over to the bed and harshly woke Kagome up. "Listen here bitch! You better explain what the hell is going on before I destroy you!"

"Yusuke!" called out both Koenma and Kurama.

Kagome blinked at him as she gripped her head. She had one killer headache. "Yusuke, why can't I sleep?"

"Hiei's not making any sense," he said angrily.

"Hiei only makes sense when there's fighting…"

Yusuke opened and closed his mouth before he started laughing. "That is so true. I'm going to ignore what he said at first but what I want to know is how come you don't have an aura or something telling us that you're alive?"

"I'm going to take a guess that… Hiei wasn't going to say anything about that… I'm not alive," she answered plainly.

"W-what… what do you mean you're not alive?" Koenma questioned as he looked at her in horror.

"My body is slowly recovering. Each form that I have… takes a certain time to heal. I've gone through two forms… my darkness form and my light form… The fire and ice forms are deadly… to my body. If I can get those two to heal, my aura will return, my energy will not," she explained as she sighed lightly.

"You're energy will only return when you're up to date," Hiei said as Kagome grinned at him. He looked taken back.

"Hiei that has two meanings…" she said as she held up two fingers and laughed. "The first meaning is obvious. I have to heal all forms, have my aura… back… and start fighting again." Her grin became wider. "The second meaning… do you mean that I have to start dating or other things… that goes along with that?" Kagome continued her laugh when all but one joined in.

"Woman, you know what I meant!"

"Calm down. I know what you meant but I couldn't help it. I had to say something…" she said with a happy grin.

"Actually, I think Hiei would be totally okay with the dating part…" Yusuke said as he started a new fit of laughter.

"I have to agree with Yusuke on this," Kurama said, trying to cover his laugh.

"There's no way in hell I'd let Hiei date her!" Koenma yelled as Yusuke laughed harder.

"Literally!" Kagome joined in. Apparently, embarrassing Hiei was probably the best fun she's had in a long time but unfortunately, her fun didn't last long because she started a cough fit.

"Serves you right," Hiei said as he glared at her… then again, he was glaring at everyone.

"It's okay, Hiei, it's not like I could date you," she said as she continued coughing.

"Oh, that blows!" Yusuke said as he fell to the floor, laughing.

"That's not what I meant," she defended.

"That's not what I heard. It sounded like you didn't want to date him."

"My mother wouldn't let me," she told him but he ignored her.

"Oh yeah, like you would listen to some stupid human woman," Yusuke said as he crossed his arms over his chest and held his head in the air.

Kagome stared at him for the longest time and then sighed. "You're right, I wouldn't listen to her," she admitted as Yusuke looked to her in amazement. "I wouldn't listen to anyone for the matter but I have told myself that I wouldn't date anyone, no matter what."

"That's a little harsh… don't you think?" he asked.

"It's what I am."

"A pain in the ass?" questioned Hiei as he grinned.

Kagome glance at him. "Well, if you want to think that then yes, I guess I can be a pain in the ass."

"Failure."

Kagome glared. "Come here, Hiei."

He shook his head and stayed where he was but he heard Kagome sighed again. "I said come here!" she yelled at him as she used enough force to drag him from across the room to making him stand in front of her. He couldn't move.

"Okay, that was cool," Yusuke said as he watched the scene unfold.

She brought his face to hers. "I have never been a failure and I'm never going to be one. I'm going to get strong and one of these days, I'm going to defeat you," she sternly said as she threw him into a chair, which broke under the weight.

"How the hell did you do that?" Koenma asked as Kagome gazed at him.

"When I said that Hiei was weak, I wasn't kidding. As much I admire his strength or the fact that he extremely fast, he needs to learn that when things happen," she said as she watched Hiei slowly get up. "That they never go according to plan." At that, Hiei glared. "And glaring at me, boy, will not get you nowhere."

"What just happened? She went from something fun to something not…" Kuwabara stated as Kurama nodded.

Yusuke whistled. "Damn… remind me never to get on her bad side," he said as he walked over to Hiei and offered him a hand, which of course he swatted away and left the room.

"I thought that you were on her bad side, Urameshi?"

He looked at his friend and frowned. "Am I?"

Kuwabara shrugged and looked at Kagome, who had fallen asleep again. "She is getting really good at sleeping. I think that she may be better than Urameshi."

"Indeed she may be," Kurama said. "Well, I'm going to see how he's doing. I think we may have gone a little overboard." He left the room to get after Hiei.

Yusuke watched as he left and grabbed Kuwabara by his collar. "Yeah, we'll be leaving too," he said and left Koenma with Kagome.

Koenma glanced at Kagome and sighed sadly. "I hope that this means that you won't be leaving again," he said as Kagome breathed in deeply. He placed his hand on her forehead as a lonely tear fall from his face. "Please be okay." He stood up and with one more look back to her, he left.

Kagome looked around the darkness for the second time. Instead of being small, she was her average height. "Why is it always the darkness that seems to get to me?" she asked herself as something moved behind her.

She blinked when she realized that she was on her back. Her eyes widened when she saw who was on her. "What the hell are you doing here, Hiei?"

"Why don't you tell me?"

"You don't know where you are? Well, that makes two of us," she said as she sighed. She looked at him and raised her eyebrow. "Mind getting off of me? I mean, if you really want me than take me but seeing as I don't know you well, I think that it would wise if you got off."

Hiei jumped away from her, embarrassed. He knew that he couldn't say anything to her because she already knew about him… "Well, you don't know where we are then try telling me how the hell I get out of here?"

Kagome opened her mouth but looked to her side when she saw a light. "You!" she called to it as it slowly approached her.

"You yell at nothing?"

"Not nothing. That thing!" she said as she pointed to that light. Hiei turned his head in boredom.

"A ball of light…?"

"Ah, Kagome," it said in such a happy voice.

"…And it talks…" Hiei said as he crossed his arms over his chest. 'Great… I'm surrounded by darkness and there's a stupid light that talks… Not my day,' he thought as he watched the light carefully.

"What the hell am I doing back here again?" Kagome asked as Hiei turned to her quickly.

"You've been here before?"

"Yeah… when I was dead…"

"Kagome, you were here when you died but what I don't understand is why you're back here again?" the light said as Kagome's lip twitched.

"You don't understand? Well, that's just great. I'm stuck here with him!" she yelled as she point to Hiei, who glared.

The light seemed to turn. "Oh, Hiei, I didn't see you there. Hmm, this gets more and more interesting."

"What do you mean by that?" she asked as she noticed something different about his light. "Hey… wait a minute, you're voice is different. The light that talked to me before was female… who are you?"

Hiei continued to watch as he tried to figure out what was going on here. "Oh… you caught that? Well, I guess that I'm caught… Kagome, I'm Inuyasha," he said as Kagome's eyes began to water. "Please don't cry, Kagome, I'm sorry."

"You asshole! You fucking changed my life!" Kagome's whole demeanor changed. "All of this is your fault! Here I'm blaming Hiei and all this time it's been you!" She yelled at the light backed away from her.

Hiei blinked. What just happened? "Kagome… I…" Inuyasha said but he didn't seem like he could form words. He was waiting her Kagome to figure it out.

"Wait… why are you a light?"

"Because I'm dead," he stated as Kagome fell.

"W-what…? How?"

"Naraku."

"We killed him though…" she said in such a sad voice; so much for being angry.

"So you say… So there was a piece of his body that we did not catch," Inuyasha explained. "Kagome, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you. I don't know how many times I can say I'm sorry but I'll do it until you can forgive me."

"Forgive you? What in seven hells thinks that I would ever forgive you?"

"Kagome…"

"No!" she yelled as she stood up fast. She turned around but looked back to the light. "Just tell me one thing… Is Naraku still alive?"

Inuyasha was silent for a long time. "Yes," he said as he added another thing. "Kagome, you need to learn how to control all four elements to be able to defeat him."

Kagome's eyes widened as she started to shake. "But… that would kill me…"

"Here's my tip for you," he started off by saying. "Hiei can control fire and darkness. There's two forms right there. He'll teach you how to control them… even if he doesn't want to. Yukina can control ice. Seeing as she's your friend, she easily help you with controlling that form…"

Hiei growled at that point but they seemed to be ignored. "And my light form?" Kagome asked, slightly nervous.

"Uh… well… about that…"

"What? No one can help me with it?"

"No, no someone can help you… it's just… it's my brother and you have to find him," Inuyasha said as Kagome fell to the ground again.

"Sesshomaru?" she squeaked out. "Aw, man, not him! Please tell me that there's someone else!"

"No, Sesshomaru's the only one."

"Damn…" she said.

"Kagome, Sesshomaru's chilled out since then. He's like… how Hiei is now," Inuyasha stated as Kagome's face dropped.

"That's not good… wait… how do you know Hiei?"

"How do I not know Hiei? Come on! He works with Kurama… I mean, Youko… Hey! Did I mention that Youko's my brother?"

"What?"

"I'm kidding… seriously… though Youko is related to Shippo."

"Shippo's alive?" Kagome asked the light bounced up and down. She took that as a sign of yes.

"Yeah, like anyone could kill that fur ball. He's as tough as you are."

"Tough?" Kagome said as she held up her hand and started off listing. "You, Naraku, Sesshomaru, Kouga… Bankotsu, Jakotsu… Kurama, Yusuke… Hiei, hell even Kuwabara is tougher than I am."

"Kagome…"

"What? I know that I'm not strong or tough. I'm just some weak stupid girl that decided that she was going to steal attacks from others than rather earn them! I don't even deserve to be on this stupid planet!" she ranted.

The light suddenly transformed into Inuyasha. His hair was blowing behind and there wasn't even any wind. His gentle eyes looked onto Kagome, who had her head down. He bent down to her level and smiled at her as her eyes widened. "Kagome, you're not as weak as you say you are. Come on, where's the girl that I know?"

"She died when you pushed her down the well."

"I know that that's not true."

"Yes it is. I have two guys in front of me that are way stronger and tougher—might I add—than I can ever be. I am showing so many emotions right now that it's not even funny. I blocked them so many years ago!"

"Well, it just shows that you're human," Inuyasha said as Kagome looked away.

"Human my ass."

"Well, let's see about this then. You're strong through your healing abilities and strong through your spiritual powers… wait, do you still have those powers?" he asked as he slowly came up with an idea.

"Like I want every demon to be burned when I walk by," she answered.

"You didn't answer my question." Kagome nodded lightly. "Good because Naraku hates when you burn him."

"So?"

"So, who do you know that has spiritual powers?"

"…Yusuke… Kuwabara, and Genkai but why?"

"Because I think I just figured out how you can kill Naraku," Inuyasha said as he grinned.
