"talking"
'thinking'
'/Hiei's telepathy/'
'Youko's thoughts'
------------------~*Chapter 9*~-------------------
By the time Kagome and Hiei had reached the temple it was already night time so the group decided to just stay the night. Each group member had their own room since the temple was large enough, although Hiei declined and opted to sleep in a tree like usual. Sitting in the living room everyone was quietly chatting until…
Brrrruuuup
Grrrrrgggggg
Nggggggggg
Embarrassingly everybody looked down at their empty stomachs. A fit of giggles then erupted from the group.
"Haha, ok I get it I'll go make dinner how does that sound?" Kagome said getting up from her sitting position.
"It would be very much appreciated, thank you. Would you like any help?" Kurama politely asked silently hoping she would decline. He wasn't the best cook after all.
"No, its fine I work best on my own." With a nod at the others she disappeared out of the room.
"Any body eaten her cooking before? I hope its better then the burnt shit Keiko feeds me-" Yusuke started but was stopped by said girls fist meeting his face.
"I do not burn everything! You are just picky!" Huffing she scooted away from him to talk to Yukina about the weather and what not.
"Yeah whatever." Getting a sly look on his face he turned towards Hiei who was casually sitting on the window seal. "So Hiei, you and Kagome were gone for quiet a while…."
"Shut it dick wad."
"I'm just saying. She's a pretty girl it wouldn't be that much of a surprise if you…you know." Smirking to emphasize exactly what he was thinking he turned even more of his attention towards the Koorime.
"What that onna and I do or don't do is none of your concern. Now shut your face before I am forced to shut it for you, permanently." Leaving his threat hanging in the air he casually left the group through the window.
A concerned look passed over Kurama's face before he silently followed the apparition, but instead took the door.
Walking outside it didn't take him long to catch his energy force coming from the tree on the other side of the house.
----------------------------------
Heavy rock music pumped through the speakers as slim hips swayed back and forth to the beat. As soon as Kagome entered the kitchen she had found the object of her entertainment, the stereo. Turn it to the hard rock station she always listened to she was delighted to here there was music playing not some stupid commercial.
Grabbing the necessary things she needed Kagome proceeded to tune out the rest of the world as she concentrated on the music and the cooking. She was so engrossed she didn't even feel the shift in youki as a dark figure silently watched her from the tree outside the window.
----------------------------------
Walking around the side of the house towards Hiei Kurama heard the hard rock music steadily getting louder and louder. Stopping In front of the tree he looked towards the house and found Kagome in the kitchen cooking while dancing to the heavy music slightly.
Glancing up in the tree he wasn't too surprised to find Hiei engrossed in the vision of his cousin. He saw the look on the demons face as his eyes silently followed the movement of her hips hypnotically. Silently they both stood their watching the unsuspecting girl before Kurama turned back towards Hiei.
"What do you want from my cousin Hiei?"
Snapped out of his trance from Kurama's voice he looked down at the said boy before watching Kagome again.
"I do not wish anything of the human."
"Don't give me that crap. I've seen the way you look at her."
Turning his head towards the suddenly demanding avatar he stared hard at the green eyed male before letting out a large sigh and jumping out of the tree to stand next to him on the ground.
"I only want…" Glancing at Kagome he seemed to gain the strength to say the next part. "I only want her to be happy."
'I guess Yusuke was right about him being a little softie.' Youko's voice penetrated his mind.
"To be happy?"
"Yes. She intrigues me so and her pain gets in the way of her fiery attitude I have come to admire. I feel that if I can get rid of her pain then…"
"You have my approval then." Startled ruby eyes snapped up to meet smoldering emerald.
"Approval?" Not meaning to this came out as a whisper and the Koorima silently cursed his weakness.
"Yes. I approve of you to court her." Suddenly Kurama found himself pinned to the tree by his neck and yet he didn't feel threatened.
"I didn't ask for your approval fox." Tightening his grip on his neck he wasn't prepared for what Kurama said next.
"Of course not. But when you do mate her, and I know you will, just know I know you're the right one for her." The hands that held him so tightly suddenly slipped away and he tentatively reached up to stroke his sore neck. Looking down into Hiei's eyes he saw the appreciation he felt before it was quickly covered up with an emotional mask.
"Hn. Come on it smells like she's done." Without another word Hiei disappeared off inside the house somewhere. Shaking his head with a grin plastered on his mouth Kurama followed him, enticed by the delicious smell of food.
------------------------------------
Gradually everyone smelled Kagome's delicious cooking and filed themselves inside the large dining room. Yukina helped Kagome set the table and made a quick batch of tea. Sitting down at the table they felt like family.
'A very dysfunctional family, but family none the least…'
'/Hn. Watch who your calling "Dysfunctional"/'
'Oh shut up and eat.'
Silently taking her advice he dug into his food. Popping some oden in his mouth he was amazed at the great taste. Looking around he saw the others with a similar reaction.
"What do you guys think? I haven't cooked like this in a while so I hope I'm not getting a little rusty…" Kagome started looking at everyone expectedly.
"Its great Kagome-chan! I haven't had food this good in…well never!" Giggling slightly Keiko dug back into her food.
"I hafta admit girly, you cook a mean meal." Yusuke tried to say through a mouthful of food. She got the point.
'Thanks…' Kagome thought dryly.
'/Hn. Its not half bad…for human food that is./'
'That must mean you like it. Good.'
When everyone was finished Kagome got up to do the dishes but was warded off by Yukina and Kaiko saying she had already done enough. Grateful she didn't have to cook AND clean Kagome wandered outside to watch the stars.
Laying on the grass Kagome's eyes emptily gazed up at the stars, but her mind was far away else where. Hearing the grass shift next to her she half expected to see Hiei sitting next to her but was surprised when she caught the soft gaze of Kurama. Looking back up at the stars Kagome crossed her arms above her head for more comfort on the hard ground.
"The stars sure are beautiful up here aren't they?" Kagome said causing Kurama to look away from her and up at the sky.
"Yes, I guess we're far enough away from the city to see them."
"I remember when it didn't matter where you were you could always see them. Every night I would lie back like this and watch them as I went to sleep."
"Must have been wonderful. Youko talks of those kinds of nights sometimes as well."
"Youko…will I ever get to meet him?"
'Yes! Let me out red! Please?'
'No, this isn't the time. '
'Aww, when then?'
'Soon…'
"Hmm, maybe one day. He really likes you and is beginning to see you as a sister and not a potential mate."
Giggling Kagome glanced at Kurama to see the slight blush on his cheeks as well as the look of annoyance in his eyes.
"Must have been hard having a horny kitsune in your head talking about your cousin like that."
'Hey! I don't talk about her like that anymore!'
'Thank god.'
"Heh, you have no idea."
Silence stretched on as they just looked at the stars making wishes as some fell. Shivering slightly Kagome sat up and crawled over closer to Kurama. Innocently she curled up at his side as he wrapped his arms around her in a half hug to keep her warm.
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"What….do you think of Hiei."
Startled slightly by his question Kagome tensed against him and tightened her grip on his shirt. Relaxing after a second but still not looking at him she tried to search for her answer.
"I think…he's sweet. And that maybe…he just needs somebody to love."
"Yes, I think your right."
"Why is he so sad?"
Kurama knew he couldn't say much, it wasn't his story to tell but he needed to give her something.
"He…He had a hard life. He was known as the 'Forbidden Child' so as you can imagine that had to have put a damper on his childhood. I can't really say much because it's not my story to tell, if you really want to know more about him you're going to have to ask him."
Snuggling her head closer into Kurama's chest Kagome drifted off to sleep with the thought of a particular Koorime on her mind.
After a few minutes of silence Kurama realized she was asleep and got up carrying her bridal style to her room. Settling her into her bed he covered her in a couple blankets and left the room after giving her a gentle goodnight kiss on her forehead.
------------------------------------
Kagome awoke suddenly wondering where she was. Snuggling back into the warm covers she tried to go back to sleep. Before long her stomach rumbled signaling her need for food. Groaning she got up and headed towards the kitchen in search of a midnight snack.
Looking at the clock on the wall she read the numbers.
1:43 am
'Fuck my life.'
Searching through the fridge she didn't find anything particular so she opened the freezer. Finding a 12 oz container of rocky road ice cream she grabbed a spoon before hoping on the counter and digging in.
It didn't take long before she was interrupted.
"Onna, what are you doing with MY ice cream?"
Looking up from her delicious treat she locked gazes with ticked off ruby eyes.
"Excuse me? YOUR ice cream?"
"Yes. MY ice cream. Hand it over."
Examining the ice cream in her hand she picked up the lid and turned it over seemingly searching for something. After she had looked over everything she turned laughing eyes back to his.
"I don't see your name on it, and unless you bought it that means its fair game."
Growling slightly Hiei walked up to her and tried to grab the carton but ended up unsuccessful.
"Uh uh uhhh!"
Holding the carton above her head Kagome had the upper hand. Sitting on the counter made her slightly taller then Hiei so he would have to jump to reach the ice cream, but his pride wouldn't allow him to that…would it? Shaking that thought from her mind Kagome stuck the spoonful of ice cream in her mouth and stuck out her tongue.
Smirking slightly Hiei formed a plan in his mind as he numbly tried to reach for the carton. Stretching forward like that brought his face VERY close to hers he realized…
When she put another spoon full in her mouth she was startled when Hiei suddenly crashed his lips to hers. Moving his lips over hers lightly he reached down to her hips and slammed them to the edge of the counter against his. His movement made her gasp and Hiei took full advantage of it. Diving his tongue in her mouth he tasted the cold ice cream and the feeling sent a shiver down his spine. The carton of ice cream was forgotten as it dropped to the floor and one of Kagome's hands dove to his head to run through his hair while the other gripped his shoulders tightly. Breaking away from the kiss Hiei grinned and licked his lips.
"Good ice cream."
Hiei then dove back in for another kiss. This time when her tongue ran across his lips he opened them and allowed her entry. Deepening the kiss Kagome tilted her head and ran her tongue along the inside of Hiei's mouth before playfully batting at his own tongue. Hiei's arms disappeared under the back of her tank to run up and down her sides feeling her smooth skin.
Tearing his lips from hers he proceeded to suck and nibble on her earlobe earning him small moans and gasps before trailing hot kisses down her jaw and neck. Sucking on her pulse lightly he nibbled there for a while before moving down to lick and kiss the area where her neck met her shoulder. If he mated her this is where the mark would go. Giving it one final open mouthed kiss he moved back up to give her lips another kiss before breaking away and just holding her.
Both were content just staying like that gathering their breaths. Before long their heart beat was back to normal and they pulled back to look each other in the eyes.
"Hiei…what does this mean?"
It means…I like you."
Giving him a bright smile Kagome pecked him on the lips to show her appreciation.
"I like you too."
"Really? I would have never guessed." Playing her at her own game he stuck his tongue out slightly earning him a giggle.
Looking behind his shoulder at the carton on the floor Kagome sighed.
"Well so much for my midnight snack…"
"Really? I thought it was pretty good."
Blushing she kissed his nose lightly before wiggling signaling him to let her down. Cleaning up the spilt ice cream she put the part she could salvage back into the freezer then she headed back to her room, Hiei following her the whole time. Stopping in the doorway Kagome turned back to Hiei and wrapped her arms around his neck giving him what was supposed to be a quick kiss until he wrapped his arms around her back and tilted her head to deepen the kiss. Breaking away for air Kagome backed away from him whispering a quick 'Goodnight' before disappearing into her room.
Smiling Hiei leaned against her door for a while before walking outside to find a decent tree to sleep in for the rest of the night.
