—Two Birds… One Stone—

"Come back Kagome-sama!"

'Keep going…'

"We love you Kagome-sama!"

'…keep going…'

"Please come see the shrine we dedicated just to you Kagome-sama!"

'… keep freaking going!'

Kagome's eyes widened as her eyes landed on the one thing she really needed.

Shelter, a hiding place… a sanctuary

Heavenly music played into her ears as she came closer to the somewhat sacred ground.

The boys' bathroom.

Mentally praying this will work, she took a sharp left and dashed in, slamming her back to the door harshly.

Huffing, she closed her eyes as she focused on the sounds behind the door.

Hearing the stomping of numerous feet fade away, she let out a huge sigh of happiness and relief.

They were gone.

'Ah-hem'

Kagome's eyes popped open at the sound of someone else in the room beside herself, and she let out a squeak.

There was a boy in here with her!

Just her luck!

Closing her eyes politely, and adding extra assurance by covering them with her hands and whipping around, she quickly spoke. "I'm so sorry! I had to hide somewhere and there was no place so it was either here or continue getting chased by those fanboys!"

She worried her lip between her lip when there was no response and she continued with her rambles. "I was getting really tired and there were shrines dedicated to me involved and I just panicked. I needed to catch my breath a little before I can finally slip out and head home! And-please don't tell anyone I was here, pretty, pretty please!" she begged pathetically. "I don't wanna see the shrine! It's so creeepy…"

Kagome stiffened when she heard a deep chuckle, and twitched slightly. He didn't need to laugh at her!

She held her breath suddenly. What if he was one of her fanboys?

The deep chuckle still rang heavy in her ears, irritating her even more.

She huffed slightly and forgot all her manners as she spun around to tell him off for laughing at her, and to check out exactly who this mystery man was.

Her mouth opened as she let the words just spill out. "What's so funny?" she asked with annoyance lining her voice.

Then she actually saw who the guy was and her eyes popped out.

Green eyes sparking with amusement and red hair… there was no doubt who it was…

"Minamino?" she blurted out, slightly surprised and annoyed.

She never could stand this guy! Ever since she met him she found him infuriating! With the whole smooth talking, smarty-pants, and arrogant smirk and stature.

All she did was politely say hi to him since they sat next to each other in History-the only class she was actually good at- and all he did was give her a curt nod, before arrogantly turning his head, brushing her off like she was the dirt under his shoe!

What nerve!

She was only trying to be polite for Kami's sake!

Well, she thought smugly, at least she got the better end of it when she snapped at him; telling him off for his rudeness and knocking him off his high horse.

His shocked face was priceless, and the rest of the faces of the other students in the class room had were just the icing on the cake.

That was until she found out that she had a loyal group of followers… aka fanboys… that padded after her like little puppies wherever she went for telling off who she later came to know was the most popular, smartest, and hottest guy in the school: Shuichi Minamino.

Psh, yeah right, she's seen hotter.

Once you've laid your eyes on a tall, mysterious demon lord with long silky hair you would kill for, nothing could beat that.

She mentally shook her head at the thoughts; she needed to stop getting so side tracked.

When she looked back at Shuichi her eyes narrowed. "Don't smirk at me mister!"

The smirk only widened as he spoke with a smooth voice that would make any other girl weak in the knees.

Too bad she wasn't any other girl and she was more irritated than swooned at the moment.

"How peculiar… the tables seem to have turned…" he murmured with a hint of amusement. His emerald green eyes that reminded her so much of her Shippo danced wickedly as he gazed at her.

Kagome gave an inhuman growl before she planted her hands on her hips. "What is that supposed to mean?" she demanded hotly, eyes flashing.

Shuichi shook his head, a deep chuckle escaping him. "Nothing really, I presume."

Kagome twitched slightly as she gritted her teeth painfully. She sneered at him. "Gah, you're so annoying! Looking down your freaking nose like you're better than everyone! It's unbelievable! Get over yourself!"

This time Shuichi blinked in shock and his eyes flashed golden, something Kagome didn't miss. He narrowed his eyes. "Pardon me?"

Kagome rolled her eyes, throwing her hands up in exasperation. "Oh for the love of – what is it with you demons that makes you so damn oblivious and stuck up! Really, is it encoded in your DNA or something?"

Shuichi frowned and his eyes turned golden again, but didn't turn back to his normal emerald this time. "What did you say?" he asked quietly, almost with a threatening hint, his voice noticeably different and slightly frostier.

Kagome blinked, not quite comprehending what he was asking. It wasn't until she replayed what she said back in her head that her eyes widened in alarm and she took a step back. 'Crap, crap, crap!' "Uhm, I don't remember?" she blurted out nervously.

It didn't exactly help her case when she said it like a question.

Probably why Shuichi didn't believe her and was now giving her a calculating and skeptical look. "How did you know I wasn't human?" he asked firmly, pinning her down with a serious stare and taking a step towards to her.

Kagome's eyes widened and she had the faint resemblance of a deer caught in headlights. She offered a weak smile, and the panic swirling in her eyes deeply upset the innocent demeanor she was trying to put on. "Um… you just told me…" She trailed off, giving him an uncomfortable laugh.

Shuichi took another step, sending her a pointed look. "The truth, woman."

Kagome's temper flared right at that moment. "You damn well know my name Minamino! It's Ka-go-me! Three simple freaking syllables, it's not that hard to say you know!" she shouted loudly, her eyes narrowing furiously.

If there was one single thing she couldn't stand, it was definitely being called any other name than the one given to her at birth. Suddenly however, she got a bad feeling but pushed it away.

The golden eyes brightened in amusement at her. "Alright," he amended gently. "Kagome… tell me the truth…" he stared at her expectantly and his eyes bored through her, as if he was looking through her soul.

Kagome fidgeted nervously before giving a defeated sigh. She gave him an impish smile. "No human can look as good as you and be just as smart to boot," she confessed, laughing lightly in embarrassment.

Shuichi raised a perfectly sculptured eyebrow. "Really?" he asked skeptically, though his usual smirk graced his face.

Kagome shrugged, and grinned up to him. "That… and the fact that a peculiar after-image of a silver kitsune keeps on appearing when you're in my peripheral vision." She said casually.

Gold eyes blinked at her, surprised at the sudden fact. "Ahh." Shuichi nodded solemnly. "That could do it…"

Kagome nodded as well, scratching the back of her neck sheepishly. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by a peculiar sound. Instead of the question that was previously on her mind, she blurted out. "Did you hear that?"

Shuichi blinked, and cocked his head. He blinked before turning mischievous eyes to her. "You probably should not have yelled so loudly. I think they know where you are hiding now…"

Kagome stiffened, her face going pale as she stared back at him in shock. "No…" she whimpered in horror.

She knew exactly who 'they' was. She looked up at Shuichi pleadingly. "Help… please." She squeaked out in a low hiss.

Unperturbed, Shuichi only raised an eyebrow at her. "And why, pray tell, should I do that?"

Kagome glared at him quickly, before turning her eyes to the door, which she started to inch away from. She turned back narrowed sapphire eyes at him. "Because…" she retorted. "If you don't help, I'm gonna sic your fan club on your kitsune ass by telling them you're considering to make one of them your girlfriend."

Shuichi scowled. "You wouldn't," he said, though he didn't quite believe it himself.

Kagome narrowed her eyes, her eyes flaring. "Try me…" she dared with a hundred percent seriousness.

The sound came closer and closer and Kagome then huddled in the corner of the restroom, like a cornered animal.

Shuichi turned to stare at the door, contemplating.

Kagome took a pause on her path to hysterics to stare at him incredulously. "Why are you just standing there?" she yelled in a whisper shout.

Shuichi only ignored her.

Letting out an impatient, frustrated groan her head whipped around, looking for something to help her. Spotting a window nearby, she grinned in relief and ran over to it, only to see that it was too high up for her to reach normally.

She had to jump and hope she wouldn't fall on her ass. Damn

Like a dog attempting to scramble up a tree, Kagome fervently jumped repeatedly to get a good grip on the window ledge. The incoming noise only further encouraged her to try again and again.

'Just… a little… more…' Kagome thought as she stretched her arm so far that her muscles started to strain.

Her eyes lit up in hope as her hand finally latched onto the ledge, and she pulled herself up…

Only to go wide in despair and dismay as she was suddenly pulled off by a pair of strong arms as she was just about to open the windows.

Kagome began to struggle and started to kick around wildly.

'Noooo! They got meee!' she wailed in her head, terrified.

Shuichi's voice hissing in her ears made her freeze. "Stop kicking me!" he whispered harshly.

Kagome went limp and her head swiveled to stare at Shuichi as if he grew three heads and sprouted extra eyes and green hair. "What are yo-!"

She couldn't finish because of two things.

She was interrupted by the sound of the restroom doors finally banging open.

And even if the sound didn't interrupt her, the warm lips covering her own not only prevented her from uttering another word, but also shocked the hell outta her.

Gasps resonated against the restroom walls, and when Shuichi's lips left Kagome's she was still shocked stupid.

She was oblivious to the world around her, to the fact that her fan club looked from destroyed and heartbroken to pissed off and raging.

Instead she felt herself thinking how good that 'kiss' was.

She was oblivious to the fact that Shuichi was asking them with a tone none other than smug, "Can't a guy and his girlfriend have some privacy?"

Instead, she felt herself turning beat red as she berated herself for even thinking that a kiss from 'that prick Shuichi' was anything similar to good…

She was oblivious to the protest that followed that little comment.

Instead, she found herself mentally stomping her feet and whining like a little child in the recesses of her mind. 'Mah, why do I always get stuck in these kind of situations?'

She didn't finally snap out of it until the last of her fan club left the restroom with dragging feet and envious expressions.

With the blush finally gone, Kagome looked up at Shuichi who once again had that irritating smirk on his face. She glared at him, placing her hands on her hips. "Why did you kiss me?" She exclaimed loudly.

Shuichi's smirk only widened. "Killed two birds with one stone." He proposed simply. He smirked slyly at her. "Look on the bright side, this way we have both our fan clubs off our backs." He said, as if there was nothing wrong with what he did.

Kagome shook her head slowly, giving him a face of disbelief. "Noooo…" she drawled out, narrowing her eyes. "This just only means we're gonna have each other's fan club set on us… To kill."

Shuichi just shrugged, and Kagome suddenly noticed that his eyes weren't the emerald green she was used too, but a swirling, playful gold with a cold edge to them. "Ah, maybe, but I would not be me, Youko Kurama, if I feared such pathetic ningen. Are you afraid of some ningen girls?" he asked curiously.

Kagome twitched, a tick mark forming on her forehead. "It's not so much as 'some' ningen girls I'm worried about… it's basically all the girls from freaking school, this one and more, that I'm freaking worried about. I don't want a mass chasing me and plotting to kill me. It's annoying!"

Kurama chuckled deeply. "Worry not vixen, I shall protect you from." He boasted out overly dramatically on purpose, puffing out his chest.

Kagome stared at him blankly. "Gee, thanks." She said dully, before stiffening as she recognized the name previously mentioned. Now she remembered why every time she saw that after-image, he looked familiar. She twitched. "Youko, eh?"

Youko grinned openly at her, nodding eagerly. His amber eyes were light with hopes that maybe she heard of him. "I take it the name's familiar?"

Kagome frowned. "Oh, it's familiar alright…" she stepped up closer to him angrily, and didn't give the kitsune avatar a chance to defend himself.

'smack'

Youko's head was abruptly turned to the side with a throbbing red mark the size handprint on his cheek.

Kagome glared at him. "That's for peeking at me in the hot springs five hundred years ago!" she yelled at him, her cheeks a suspicious color of red, whether it be by her anger or something else entirely no one would know.

But Youko had a good idea which, and as recognition flashed he discarded the fact that she slapped him and instead grinned lecherously at her. "Well would you look at that… so this is where you went little miko… who would have thought you were a time traveler after all. Explains a lot of things…"

Kagome narrowed her eyes, the fire in them churning. "About what…?" she asked cautiously.

Youko wiggled his eyebrows. "The little slip of a uniform you wore on your adventures."

Kagome twitched once more and went up to hit him once more.

Youko wasn't one to fall for the same trick twice. "Ah, ah, ah!" he murmured, maneuvering deftly so that he trapped Kagome in his arms, her own arms kept behind her back.

He chuckled deeply when she struggled against him. "Who knew you were so violent… does this particular characteristic extend to the nightly activities…?" he asked innocently.

Kagome gaped at him in incredulity, but was unable to do anything since he had her restrained. "You perv!"

He grinned at her. "Ah, but I'm your perv!" And with that he swooped down to steal a chaste kiss from her.

When he pulled away, Kagome looked back at him with wide eyes and saw that Kurama was back, if the green eyes were ay indication.

Kurama took in with great satisfaction the hot blush on Kagome's cheeks. He laughed under his breath. "I guess you don't hate me as much as you say you do after all…" he murmured.

Kagome blinked before looking away quickly, nervously even. A sulky, defeated pout was on her lips. "Yea well… shaddup!" she said out of reflex, not know what else to say.

Kurama could only let out another laugh.


Words- 2, 657

Finally, finished - 'phew!'. That took forever! I kept on getting a dead end on the flow, so it might seem a little weird at parts.

So? How was it? and be honest ;)

Till next time, with I think a Hiei/Kagome pairing!
