Chapter 7

"You've seen worse?!" she shrugged "I once knew a perverted priest who constantly fondled womens bums and the first thing he said to them was 'Would you bear my child lovely lady' " she made the maleish voice sound melodramatic" before straightening up and becoming serious "Yona you know what this means right?" "Hm what is it Onee-sama?" "He knew we were coming This Whole Time" "Yeah I did..." he fell to his knees "My job is to convey God's voice to the people! God teaches me everything there is to know about the world!" he was grabbed by Yun "What do you mean 'Your Job?' you don't make any money all you do is pray all day still smiling he let out an eep as Yun stripped him "Come on take off your dirty clothes" Kagome quickly covered Yona's eyes "Children shouldn't be seeing this!" "You were thrown for making dubious claims about hearing god's voice you know" "Why were you driven out?" "I'm suprised" Kagome turned to make a harsh glare to Yun, he continued none the less "You lived in the castle but you didn't know?" "Enough!" Kagomes harsh snap caused Yun to halt and walk away "Don't worry yona I'll tell you, Let's go check on hak eh?"

Sitting next to Hak while kagome held his head in her lap 'I don't even know what goes on in the castle...' Kagome feeling his breathing changed immediately became alerted, Yona also saw his hand Twitch "Hak? Hang in there Hak! Can you hear my voice?" Yona's shouts alerted Yun and Ik-su came in "Hold this!" shoving the basket of clothes to Ik-su she rushed over to where they were sat checking Hak's temperature "Hak it's okay I'm here no harm will come to either of you" Kagome soft and gentle voice seemed to relax him and his breathing became less laboured "He has a fever" Kagome gave him a look as if to say 'No shit' he rolled his eyes but gave Hak some medicine "I've treated it, but it won't break for a while" "Thanks chibi" his eyebrow twitched "Chi...Bi?" "Save Hak...Please..." Yona grabbed his wrist as he stood up ignoring kagomes warning glare "I'm working on it, I don't want him dying on me, But I'm not a doctor" he snatched his wrist back "Don't just assume I'll save him" "Why you little...Mind your fucking manners!" "Onee-sama Language!" she didn't shrink back her gaze burning with unkept fury and stress "I'll make you pay for that...Chibi" her dark whisper sent shivers down his spine. "Have you ever thanked him or Her? They both nearly died saving you!" another dark glare cut him off as well as Ik-su "It's all right the god of death has't come for him yet" "And kagome-sama" she focused her dark eyes on him "Please forgive Yun's rudeness he doesn't mean it" she sat up straighter "He certainly does mean it I can taste the bitterness of his soul on my tongue a little love and it would be delicious! Ku ku ku ku ku" her evil chuckle once again made Yun shiver.

Ik-su walked over to Yun kneeling behind him "Yun you should be nicer" "But I hate kings and nobled and the like" "But in her own way she's fighting Kagome too" Would you like to take a walk to give Kagome some fresh air?" she glanced down at Hak a puppy look on her face "Yun's medicine is very effective he's saved me countless times" his soft voice coaxed a small smile onto her face as kagome stood and stretched "Jeez I need to meditate my powers everywhere must be planning to kill someone..." her eyes flahsed dangerously to Yun who shook violently in fear "...Or I might be out of shape" he sighed in relief "Bu the death is higly probable hee hee hee"

They walked down a woodland path Kagome bringing up the rear with Yona in front "Eeek!" a screech caused kagome to halt and look down at the fallen priest, Yona came running over worried "Are you okay?" Kagome helped him up and they continued walking in silence until they reached the end of the path...Literally standing on the edge of the cliff Yona turned to the priest "Why do you live out here?" "I was living with the flow and I ended up here naturally" ignoring kagomes snickers they continued to chat "I suppose that doesn't answer your question...It's just...Even here there are flowers that bloom..." "Ugh I'm bored of meditation now" "But you havem't even been meditating!" "I have I did it on the way here my snickering was me talking to my inner dragon" "Oh...Let's head back then"

Later that evening Kagome had curled around Hak sleeping soundly...Is what everyone thought "Um...Thank you for saving me..." Yona's voice echoed around the house directng at Yun who sat quietly mashing up herbs "..." Kagome bit back a growl but purred when she saw Yona wasn't giving up "Um..I'd like you tell me about priests I may bot know anything but I don't wnat to remain ignorant!" Yun finally turned around "Actually I'm not a priest" he shrugged "I just look after that useless priest who can't look after himself" "Long ago priests had the highest influence even more so than the king" "Even the king?" "Yep they were revered as messenger of God, They were deeply involved with ruling the kingdom they even started wars..." "One priest even killed a king saying he had angered God, Priests then became a problem for the king" he paused to take a breath unaware of the other ears listening in "During King junam's reign kouka was expanding into other kingdoms territories and becoming massive, apprently prince Yu-hongs achievements played a major part, for him the priests that could threaten a kings power were a nuisance to him" "So that's why my uncle drove them from the castle...Isn't living in the middle of nowhere a nuisance?" "Not really...I find villages troublesome and Ik-su can relax easier here...Villages are full of poor people only certain cities are rich" "Ik-su is too nice, he once tried to help everyone and then suffered depression when he couldn't, He can't live without me" Yona sighed and rested her head on her knees "Thank you" he turned his eyes to her "Teach me more sometime" with one glance and a giggle to Kagome and Hak she fel asleep.

"Tch You really are a menace woman..." he turned to kagome attemtping to pull her away only to recieve a growl when he touched her, Hak wriggled a bit causing her to purr softly in her 'sleep'

Later that evening Kagome woke up cold "Eh...?" noticing a certain body missing she got up quietly "Where could he have gone?!" she wandered about sniffing here and there until gave up and plopped to the floor "Hka you big ugly Idiot!" a staff slamming behind her startled her "I'm absolutely appalled that you sit here in the dark badmouthing me" her eyes shined lightly with tears his eyes were closed from anger and a sarcastic smile was on his face "I'm glad you made a miraculous recovery and seem to be doing okay." Standing up Kagome hid her eyes from view but he caught the silver slither sliding down her cheek "What's wrong?" "Where were you?" "Looking for this..." "The you should've woken me or Yona Up!" The anger in her voice made him fall back a bit from shock "Oh I get it you were cold should I warm you up? Here" he held out his arm but Kagome shook her head "You stupid fool! You're injrued!" "Eh? Now I'm a fool?" "Why are you behaving so recklessly when you're injured? We thought you were going to die! Don't just run off without warning someone!" she finally lifted her head to show her crystalline tears leaking from her eyes.

"I wnat to die now..." "Huh?" "I've made a hardened cold warrior cry...I really wnat to die to see how you would react..." he grabbed her face a leaned in stealing a soft kiss from her lips "Mm..." he pushed her to the ground his lips never leaving hers hands on her hips he gave them a squeeze making her moan lightly.

Removing his lips to her they both panted resting their foreheads together "Why did you...?" "I wanted to" her eye twitched "It was medioacre at best..." she turned her head away making him kiss her cheek "How rude..." he stood up helping her up as well "I'm only joking it was the...Third best kiss I've ever had..."

They returned to the hut and fell back asleep cuddled together, not noticing pink eyes opening up just as they settled.

"So this is the priests place?" Yona nodded "Wow really what a coincidence..." "The arrogent child next to you is yun he's your healer" kagomes snappy tone made Yona look at her funny "You're not still mad at him are you?" "No I'm angry at something Else" shrugging it off she turned to Hak only to see kagome glaring at him and holding his hand back "Don;t just randomly eat without asking to cook!" lightly slapping his hand she looked around "Where'd the priest go?" They shrugged but Yona trudged off to find him

(Skipping this part)

Late in the night Yona walked out of the forest and gazed up at the full moon 'I don't know anything...Not about the castle or the rest of the world...' "Huh? Yona?" "Onee-sama..." she held half of the hairpin to her chest 'I don't know...' "Onee-sama" "What's wrong?" "Did you take my other half of the hairpin?" turning her eyes to kagome avoiding ones "Maybe?" "Why?!" "I would've take it all had Hak not barged in and broke it!" "Hak broke it?" "Yep he stood on it so I only managed to drag half of it away".

Yona wnated to throw it away but she couldn't 'I wnat to know..' she looked won at the half hairepin sadly 'the feelings of others and the many other things that I once passed by heedlessly' 'I wnat to become stronger!' she gazed back up at the room "Princess...And Kagome" "Huh?" Yona turned around to see Hak. "Hak No you should be lying down!" she roushly pushed herself into him making him collapse in pain "Yona you're going to reopen his wound!" "I'm all better now I'm not going to die" "Says the person wrapped in bandages..." he twitched but ingored her "Hka I wnat to meet the people with the dragon blood" "Why meet them? They may not even exist and if they do they might be your enemy" "No they won't..." Kagomes sing song voice cut off any aruguement "You forget I am the first born dragon the Shadow dragon once they see me they'll understand" "Don't you get it Hak we don't wnat you to die!" "Teach me how to use a sword and bow I'll learn I don't want to die like this!" "And I don't want to go back to Him!" they both whined miserably "I keep telling ya I won't die but sure whatvere you want". Yona smiled teasingly "Hak you've been such a good boy there there" she patted him like a dog on the head "Please don't get too close..." "Why?" "Cause it's annoying" kagome wrestled him into a headlock giving him a noogie "I'm Sure you didn't just call my imouto Annyoing Hak?" "Ne Kagome?" "What?" she looked down at him "If you keep getting angry you'll go all wrinkled like an old lady" "Why You...!" she gave him an even harder noogie "Oh no you have even more now!" "Stop it! Don't make me dye your hair pink again!"

"Have you made up your mind?" "Yeah" Ik-su became serious "I have a favour to ask you three" Kagome stood up dragging Hak with her as they followed Ik-su "I could get used to this.." "Ugh Hentai!" she dropped him to the floor before walking off.

"That should do it!" back at the hut Yun had finished stitching a red jacket...

End...Wow my fingers hurt...Not in that way get ya mind outta the gutter
