Rita: just as a side-note, I'm going to make her heat-greedy. You'll get it later.
Alaina: Lol so stingy Rita-chan, making them wait. ::runs behind the stage curtains to lmao::
Rita: o.0…Oookaay. That last update was so sucky that I can't even BELIVE that Alaina let me post it. Or that no one flamed us! (Although, most, if not all, the blame should go to me)
Alaina: ::evil grin:: I know…but I was busy and I'm helping more now at least
Rita: Mrfh! ::got socked by disappointed reviewer but used Kuwabara as a shield:: OPPS! Sorry Kazuma!
Alaina: ::tries to stifle snickers:: ::fails miserably and roflmao::
Rita: Hey Alaina, how many times are you gonna change your penname?
Alaina: Lol. Hmmmm….not sure ::evil grin:: I do it to torment the loyal peeps that acknowledge their reviewers ::evil grin::
Rita: Okey….ummm anyways! just to let yallz know, if I already haven't, Sesshoumaru is 500 years older now, which makes him about 800 years old ((see third movie)) and he has mellowed out and become less cold. We're using the main reason for his stoic-ness being that in Japan its EXTREAMLY rude to show open affection, or emotion in public. In Japan, they don't care if you piss on the side of the road, or show off every last piece of skin you have ((without showing any pubic hair)). But you can't blow your nose, cry, throw a fit (any kind), or show open affection in public. And it's rude NOT to slurp.
ALSO! YuyuHakusho from what I remember was pretty satirical, as is Inuyasha so that's why I felt okay with letting Sesshoumaru fall on his face and for the further silliness that will ensue.
Now on with the story!
"What are all those colored gems?" Kagome asked.
Hiei looked down at her thinking, 'She doesn't know anything, does she.' It was more of a statement than a question. "You made them." He said, holding a gem in front of her face. "They're your tears."
"Oh…weird." Kag answered, still dazed at everything that's been happening. "pretty.."
"Aw, man! We have to pick up all of those?" Yususke complained.
"Well, get moving you dim-wit," a raspy feminine voice said from a few feet behind them. "We don't need Yukina or Kagome kidnapped."
"Hi," Kagome greeted her voice laced with the sorrow she tried (unsuccessfully) to hide, pushing away from Hiei so he'd put her down. She made it two steps before her knees gave way and she fell to the ground with a small"oomph". She tried to get up again and fell backwards towards the stairs.
She waited for the impact of flesh to concrete, but never got it. Two increasingly familiar arms encircled her, picking her back up. 'This is entirely Mama and Inuyasha's fault' she thought as she was carried away by Hiei, sending herself into another fit of sobs at the thought of all the betrayal she'd suffered the day before.
Wisely Yusuke left before Genkai had to repeat herself.
Hiei, having sensed his secret sister in Genkai's house in the living room, headed inside to her.
Sesshoumaru and Rin walked up the stairs following Hiei. Genkai bowed low in respect for the western lord and his heir.
Sesshoumaru gave her a nod in acknowledgement and Rin gave her a smile and wave. Then Genkai grabbed the broom that lay against the tree near her and left to help the dimwit, fox, and Kuwabara (he's just in a class of his own) gather Kagome's tears.
Hiei found Yukina sitting on one of the couches under a window, watching the birds as they flew in the spring-afternoon air. The day was rather warm for the ice apparition, Hiei could see her aura of snow and cold being let through in an attempt to cool herself off.
Yukina turned and saw Hiei. "Oh!" she said startled, "Hello Hiei-san. How are you today? Have you found my brother yet?" She asked him in her innocent and hope-filled voice.
"No." Hiei lied looking down at her sitting form, "The lead was a dead-end. He may just not want to be found, or maybe he's being hidden." He felt a little bad that he couldn't tell her who he really was, but then again he didn't, because she was, he felt, better off not knowing.
She sighed, saddened that she may never find her brother, but then perking up immediately and setting a curious look at Kagome she asked, "Well who is your lady friend there? Is she alright?"
Kagome, who had cried herself to sleep, turned her face into Hiei's shirt to get the sun from her closed eyes, and tightened her grip on Hiei's neck.
"Hn. This is Kagome; she was under a spell to keep her feelings from an emotional event away. The spell broke and she hasn't stopped crying."
"Oh my," Yukina commented, "Well, all I can do is try to get her to calm down so she can sort her thoughts. Just lay her down here," she patted the arm of the couch. "I'll go make some tea. Would you like some also?" She asked, getting up to go to the kitchen in the next room.
"Hn," He said, nodding in positive. Walking over to the couch Yukina was sitting in previously as she disappeared in the doorway to make some herbal tea.
Hiei made to lay Kagome down on the couch that his sister had been previously. He could feel the cold left there still form her power earlier that she had been using to cool herself off.
As he lowered her down and loosened his grip, Kagome held on tighter in her sleep, letting out a small whimper of protest.
"Nyan! It's cold... zZz ZZz" Kagome complained in her sleep, holding tighter to Hiei greedy for the warmth that the fire apparition's body offered.
Hiei tried two more times unsuccessfully to put the female forbidden child down and got frustrated. So, hoping it would work, he just let go. He just pulled his arms right out from under her so that she would just plop on the couch. But when Kagome went down, Hiei came with her. At first, her feet hit the couch, and Hiei thought he was home free. But, to his displeasure, the arms around his neck held strong and he ended up on the couch with Kagome in a very… /compromising/ position.
Hiei's face was mere centimeters away from her face, his arms on either side of her, his torso across her's as his butt hit the couch next to her hip.
If Hiei was an animal demon, he would be growling. But, alas, his apparition vocal cords could not. So, he let out an indignant scoff.
Hiei forced Kagome's arms from around his neck, much to her unconscious displeasure, and stood next to the couch, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, when Sesshoumaru walked in with Rin alongside him.
Rin gave a look to Kagome and took a small raw-hide pouch that hung at her side and scurried to the kitchen to help Yukina with the tea as Sesshoumaru nodded to Hiei.
"Hn." Hiei answered the western lord, "She looks pretty weak, but had a strong grip on my neck. It's quite irritating. She acts like some kind of cuddly dog demon, as I said before."
"And, as I said before, apparition," Sesshoumaru voiced, "She acts like a dog demon, because she /IS/ a dog demon."
"How can she be a dog demon," Hiei asked, "when she is a forbidden child?"
"She is a dog demon because she shares my blood." Sesshoumaru answered. "It was during our final battle with Naraku…"
Flash Back of the Final Battle
Inuyasha had been continually blasting Naraku with his Kaze no Kizu, and working up Bakuryuha's when he could.
Sesshoumaru's palms had been cut from throwing the Tetsusaiga to Inuyasha when he had lost it from his grasp.
Kagome had been shooting immensely powerful blasts from her hands, and her palms were sliced also. She was breathing rather hard. Her blue and gray miko garb covered in several fruity sickening colors of blood. Some of the blood was hers, and most was the blood of the hundreds of demons she had slain in the past hour.
As Kagome ran past Sesshoumaru, One of Naraku's many tentacles lunged past Inuyasha, past the unconscious Miroku and the injured Sango who were safely inside a barrier made of Shippou's foxfire while Kirara was fending off any demons who tried to come near, and straight towards Kagome and Sesshoumaru.
Kagome didn't see it coming. She was too busy watching Inuyasha kick some serious baboon pelted ass. But Sesshoumaru saw, and lunged at Kagome to try to block the blow. But, instead, he got hit with her.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome were slammed into two separate trees with extreme force. Sesshoumaru got back up right away, breathing a little hard. But, Kagome being the human she was, didn't have to so easy.
Sesshoumaru ran over to Kagome and held his hand out to help her up. She took it with a weak smile once she was done coughing and could see straight. When their bloody palms touched, Kagome and Sesshoumaru pulsed. Just like when Kagome senses shards.
As Kagome's aura reverberated throughout herself and Sesshoumaru, the crescent mark of the west appeared on her forehead and a maroon stripe appearedon each cheek for a second. But, they disappeared as soon as they became visible.
Sesshoumaru knew what had just happened; they had just unintentionally made a blood bond. But there were more pressing matters at the moment.
Kagome just brushed off the feeling. She got up and muttered a small thank you to Sesshoumaru.
Then they stormed back into battle, each with a new energy boost….
End Flash Back
"When our blood was exchanged," Sesshoumaru continued, "it meant that we could either become mates, or siblings. Also, Kagome would be heir to the western throne and take over in my absence, if and when she accepts the blood bond."
"So she is unknowing of your bond then." Hiei more stated than asked.
"Yes," Sesshoumaru confirmed, "If and when she accepts it, then the blood will awaken and she will become a full fledged dog demon. To be precise, a Fire and Ice elemental taiyoukai. Heir to the western throne. Although, she'll still be a forbidden child, so I dont think that it should be her that take over for me. Not many will take kindly to her. As you obviously know."
