Chapter 11. Friendly Warnings
Last Time
"Kagome, forgive me for what I put you through." Kurama asked softly, and Kagome held him tighter.
"Hai. I forgive you but…can you forgive me?" He said yes and they just stood there in each others' arms.
"I know I've asked you this before, but after this is all over will you be my mate?" Kurama asked. Kagome pulled back a little and looked at him.
"I told you the first time and last time, 'yes'." She said smiling.
Kurama kissed Kagome's neck over and over. Then he began licking it softly, and he lowered his fangs to where he intended to show his claim. He bit her swiftly and Kagome gasped in slight pain and pleasure. She in turn licked his neck tenderly and did the same to him.
"Mine, now and forever." He whispered possessively and Kagome smiled.
"Until the end of time." She whispered in reply and caught his lips in a kiss.
NOW
Kagome moaned in comfort as she snuggled closer to the source of warmth. A soft purr came from her as she slept. Kurama gently nuzzled her while they slept.
Fox. Get up. You're needed. He scowled a little when he woke hearing Hiei's voice. He slowly opened gold eyes. He gazed at Kagome's sleeping form and he wrapped his tail around her tighter. He nuzzled her neck and purred, she lazily opened her eyes and snuggled closer to him. He sat up, gently pulling her with him. She yawned widely showing pointed fangs. Kurama smiled and pulled her into a hug from behind. Turning her around and capturing her mouth in a kiss.
"They wish for us to return to Genkai's temple." He said huskily as they disengaged themselves from the kiss. Kagome nodded. They stood and fetched their previously discarded clothes. As Kagome put her shirt back on she hit her neck and grimaced in slight pain. She put a hand to her neck and saw a little blood dribble onto her hand. A larger clawed hand grasped hers and Kurama whispered in her ear.
"Don't play with it. It could get infected." He gently began licking her neck and she groaned.
"Kurama what are you doing?" She asked.
"Making it heal faster." He said once he stopped licking.
"Oh…Thank you." She blushed. "So now I guess we're mates huh?" He chuckled at her innocence and his gold eyes sparkled. She looked at him and her ears and tail twitched.
"Yeah. We are." She blushed even harder when he began laughing. He calmed down after a little while. "I think we should become our human selves so no one begins asking unnecessary questions."
"Alright." With that stood a human Kagome and Kurama. He gently took her hand and led her outside.
"I wonder why they want us?" She murmured.
"I don't know." They continued walking until they reached Kikari.
W/ Yusuke
Damnit Kuwabara! Had to go and get yourself all kidnapped! Yusuke swore mentally as he rode his bike over 90 mph. Kuwabara was snagged after Sensui blew up Yusuke's apartment where Mitari, Kuwabara and Botan previously were. He rushed after the truck Sensui had Kuwabara in.
"Damnit Kuwabara! Can't you go a day without getting kidnapped!" Yusuke shouted as he road next to the truck.
"What's up with the girlie bike, Urameshi?" Kuwabara shouted stupidly.
"It's all I could find, you could've not gotten kidnapped in the first place!" Yusuke pedaled harder suddenly the next thing he knew he was flying in an explosion.
Yusuke got up from the ground. He watched the rapidly disappearing truck grow smaller and scowled. He punched the ground.
"Damn." He muttered and turned his head to look at the motorcyclist that pulled up. He took off his helmet. He held up his hand.
"Bull's eye." He muttered and Yusuke gasped as a now familiar feeling passed over him. A territory has opened. He looked down at his arms and chest as he stood up quickly.
"What the hell is up with these freakish cult tattoos? Who are you?" He demanded.
"I'm Kiname Higarai (?). Also known as Sniper by my victims." He held up a stone in his hand. "And as for those marks, they are bull's eyes. They will enable me to hit you dead on with anything I so choose from any direction. For example." He threw the rock at Yusuke; he caught it, grunting softly. He dropped the rock revealing a red welt from contact. "Enjoy living the last of your life in fear. Always looking over your shoulder. You'll never know where or when I'll strike." With that he took off. Yusuke swore again.
"Kuso. Great."
(Okay ladidadida…everything for this scene works out exactly like the television episode…so yeah…don't feel like typing it out so here's the jist. Sniper almost blows Yusuke up, Hiei saves his butt and ends up killing Sniper. The end… Celestialgoddess521-You could've just written it out. Kuramasgal- I didn't take your advice and drank my first and last gulp of coffee…I'm tired, it's one in the mornin' nearing two…and I'm tired whining Celestialgoddess- smacks Kuramasgal upside the head Just type the story then and quit whining.)
At the temple
Kagome sat quietly in the corner as Kurama walked out to talk with Yusuke Hiei and Genkai along with the other psychics. Inuyasha, Kuronue and Miroku joined them. Leaving her alone with Sango. Kagome shifted uncomfortably.
"So…I take it your feeling better than Kagome?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded. Sango got a sly look on her face. "So…what were you doing over at Kurama's house?" Kagome blushed.
"N-nothing!" She said quickly. Sango laughed.
"Sure…that's what you say…so are you guys mates then?" Kagome nodded. Sango smiled. "I'm glad. You guys deserved each other. He'll stay by your side."
"I hope that he will. I will stay by his side. I don't want to see him get hurt. Not like when his mother died…" Sango's and Kagome's smiles died down. Sango gently grasped Kagome's hand.
"And I hope that you will not be hurt. You're like a sister to me. I hope you do not get hurt. Not like last time." Kagome shook her head vehemently.
"No…he promised. I know he'll keep it. He's honest and honorable. I learned that a long time ago." They sat in silence for a little while. Kagome stood up. "I feel like going for a walk."
"Then I'll come with you then." Sango made to get up, and then Kagome gently pushed her back down.
"I'll be fine, Sango. I don't plan on straying too far. I'm just going to get some fresh air. Physically my wounds are healed Sango. It'll be another day before my powers are regenerated enough to be put to use." She quickly added as she saw Sango's worried look. "I'll be fine. I just need some fresh air." She quietly walked outside. She walked under some of the trees in back of the temple. She leaned against a particularly large one. She shut her eyes. She sat like that for a few minutes before sighing.
"How long do you plan on staying there Hiei?" She asked.
"Hn." Hiei jumped down from the higher branches to next to her. "What are you doing out here?"
"I should be asking you the same thing." Kagome said softly. "I just wanted some fresh air. I wasn't planning on fleeing, if that's what your thinking." She looked at the passing clouds before sitting down. She patted the ground beside her.
"Hn." Hiei didn't' move. She smiled up at him and tilted her head so she could see him better.
"I don't bite Hiei. I'm not going to pull anything. I just want to talk. Or just sit here in silence if you prefer that." Hiei sat down next to her and she smiled fleetingly again. They sat in silence for a moment. "We're a lot alike, you know."
"Why do you say that?" She didn't look at him.
"We're both forbidden children. Both spent a good deal of time alone, lost and frightened and frightfully angry, fighting a good deal of our lives for reasons that even we are unsure of."
"I fought to become more powerful." Hiei said simply.
"So you say…" Kagome murmured.
"Why do you fight?" Hiei asked suddenly. Kagome looked thoughtful.
"I-I'm unsure. Mainly because it helps protect the ones I care for." Hiei didn't press any further and they sat in silence once more. Kagome suddenly broke the silence after a few minutes. "Hiei, why didn't you kill me when you had the chance?" Hiei looked at her in slight confusion. "When I challenged you and the other detectives. To prepare you all. It was Kurama who made what would've been a killing blow. Why didn't you do it? You had every chance…yet you didn't take it. Why?" Hiei didn't answer right away.
"The fox loves you. It would've upset him if I had killed you." Kagome smiled sadly.
"Yet another thing we have in common, Hiei. We can't stand seeing Kurama grieving."
"The fox is an honorable fighter. He has honor and nobility. He is a good man." Hiei said softly. He looked at her neck when a little hair fell, making Kurama's claim visible. "Kurama claimed you. You're his mate now." Kagome placed a languid hand on her throat. She smiled.
"Yes. I am."
"You love him, don't you?" She nodded. Hiei narrowed his eyes.
"Hn. Don't break the fox's heart. He cares a great deal about you. His heart was shattering when you were knocking on death's door." Kagome nodded.
"I…love him a great deal. I have for two life times now. He was not my first love, but he was the first in everything else. And he'll be my only. After he stole my heart…" She broke off and said softly. "The first time he died…I closed my heart off. I hoped that I would find him again someday. I didn't think that Naraku would come back too." She hugged her knees, and her eyes shimmered. "I hate feeling helpless. Naraku destroyed everything so fast. He stole both of my families from me and he also stole the man I loved, almost twice. Once with death, and the other I screwed up." She looked at him out of the corner of her eyes. "We have that in common as well. We both lost our families…but you still have Yukina." Hiei turned quickly.
"How did you-" He demanded as Kagome laughed.
"I've seen the way you watch over her, your aura's are similar and you treat her differently than you do others. It's very slight but I've watched you two for a while." Kagome stretched her legs out. "She loves her brother despite not even knowing him. Let her know soon, before it's too late. She ran away from home to find you. She came to the human world, don't make it be for nothing." She watched Yukina sweep up the temple steps, as well as Hiei. "I think Inuyasha may be interested in her." She said at last as Inuyasha began talking with Yukina. Hiei looked irritated. Kagome smiled again.
"You can't protect her forever Hiei. Someday she'll give her heart to someone, and if they break it, I'm pretty positive you'll break that unfortunate fool's jaw, and possibly end his life." She stood up and began walking away. "I watch the way you and Sango look at each other. She's too stubborn to admit it, but she feels the same. So a friendly warning…don't hurt her. Nice talking to you Hiei." Hiei stood up quickly dumbstruck at Kagome's blunt statement. He walked up the temple steps and Kurama stood next to him.
"Have a nice chat?" He asked smiling.
"Hn." Hiei said. Sango walked out and greeted Kagome. Kurama glanced at Hiei and looked over the direction he saw Hiei's eyes landing on.
"Ahh." He said knowingly and Hiei blushed slightly.
"You and that damned woman." Hiei said frustrated.
"Watch how you refer to my mate, Hiei." Kurama said growling slightly.
"You damned foxes are all the same." Hiei said simply and vanished. And Kurama sighed and walked over to Kagome placing his arms around her waist.
"Hey." He said kissing her on the cheek.
"Hey yourself, what's going on?" She asked.
"We're heading off in the morning." He said simply. Kagome nodded seriously.
Away Hiei watched from his perched position in the tree.
"And here's my warning to you Kagome. Don't hurt him. He does love you." Hiei murmured.
Please Review!
I'm sorry it's taken me a while to update! I've honestly run out of ideas! I wasn't really intending for this to be a romance fanfic. It was originally an adventurous thing. So sorry to those of you who did not like the romance thing going on here! But can ya'll please, please, please send me some ideas! I will greatly appreciate it! Thanks a lot. Ja ne!
Kam- to answer ur questions, Inuyasha was the way he was because…well when is he never that way? And Kagome does have the same hair tone, only it has silvery tinge to it in her demonic human form, other wise in her pure demon form its pure silver. Yes it is bouncy/wavy. And as for Kagome being a mom…I still haven't decided on that yet. Thanks for reading my stories! I feel so special (and no not special ed Celestialgoddess521- r u sure about that? Me- rasberry) neways, email me sometime!
