chapter 12


kagome and haji had been traveling for three days straight. she was still really really pissed off at him for being a backstabbing jackass. haji knew she was going to forgive him sooner or later. they got a ride from a pig farmer to go where the person who claimed to be liza told her to go and find who she realy was. haji handed over a sandwich that the farmer for them to eat.

"kagome, the driver gave us this sandwich to eat," said haji

haji handed her the sandwich all he was gifted was a dark glare that made him shiver. he knew that she was realy pissed off at him. and he knew that she had every right to be pissed off at him so he was the one who kept it from her and now he was sorry that he did.

"no thank you." snapped kagome

"but you haven't eaten anything for three days, you need to stay nourished in order to remain strong. you never know when you will be attacked again." said haji

kagome only snorted on that one. they want her to remember so they can fuck with her mind more. and she knew how they thinked now and they wont attack until she regained some of her memories or all of them. and that is what they are holding out on.

"they are pulling back now. they know what i know and they know that i know how they think. and to be truthful that is what they are doing until i know everything that i dont remember. why am i talking to you im still deeply pissed off at you. and after all i told you and showed you that you had the balls to not tell me what i need to know. and i have asked over and over again and you lied stright to my face you jerk." hissed kagome

"kagome, you are far more different from them. you are very very special and they know this." said haji

haji knew that she was not going to forgive him anytime soon. but he knew that she had her reasons to why she was pissed off at him. he knew that her older son and daughter was going to be coming to watch over tamaki. the two that was from naraku rape he knew that he would love any child she had given birth to. and was given the same never going to go in a long sleep.

"you know something i hate it when people pity me. i have lived 500 years of that shit. that chevalier it told me the truth didt it haji? who ever it was said that i am a chiropteran. what else could i add to all the mixed powers and blood i have for the love of kami. and really what the hell is a chiropteran in the first place. just tell me what the hell am i. i know all of my other blood i have and powers. but what else am i?" asked kagome

"it is not my place to tell you." said haji

kagome huffed there he goes again. and it was starting to get annoying. haji flinched from the feeling she was giving off. that was something that he never ever wanted to feel from her. he felt her anger and sadness from what she was feeling from him and the red shield.

"blah! blah! blah! i know it is not your place to tell me. i have to remmeber. why the hell cant i remember! this is the reason i must go to this zoo place. who the freking hell call their lands the zoo for the most stupidist things i have ever heard. and believe me i am not going to be happy if i was raised in a place that was a zoo, i shall be fine by myself. im used to it anyways." said kagome

kagome sighed as she laid down and closed her eyes. haji looked at her and wanted to comforted her. but he knew right now she would end up zapping him or something. and he knew what those powers felt like and that is something he didnt want to feel again.


meanwhile the fallowing day

haji lead kagome who was still pissed off at him still to the village that would take them stright to where they are going. it has been far to long since he had been back there. but then again he never wanted to go back to the place that made his kagome suffer in pain and came a lab subject.

"kagome, there's the village." said haji

kagome looked to where he was pointing and knew that she was not going to stay awake much longer she had only gotten only little amount of sleep. only to remain in her inner world and trained a bit. even though her sword spirits was not there. she was able to train with her inner hallow that was close enough. haji caught kagome before she face planted the ground.

"sorry about that." slurred kagome

haji was not going to be having none of it. he knew what she was doing last night he felt her power spiking. she was not even sleeping she was in her inner world. as he pushed her against the tree and was going to do something that would end up getting his ass kicked in the end. but she was far more important to him than his self.

"what the hell haji." snapped kagome

haji unwrapped his hand and was going to feed her if she didnt like it or not. but he knew she was going to fight him on this. and he was prepared for that to happen. while kagome arched a brow and wondered what the hell was going to do with his hand now. and he sliced it that answered her question.

"what you need is my blood. it will make you stornger." said haji

"no stop this at once. i dont want it." hissed kagome

kagome pushed him off her and walked off as he watched her walk away from him. he would have to force her to drink sooner or later. but that was the part he didnt mind at all. because she would be in his arms and he would be kissing her while pushing blood into her mouth.


meanwhile later that night

kagome eye brow twitched in annoyance the dude cant take a freaking hint to fuck off when she told him that she wanted to not be bothered for a while. but nooo he was to much like jaken and was so far up her dammed ass that he didnt take the bugger off hint the first few try's when she told him.

"kagome wait." pladed haji

"don't you take the freaking hint i asked you how many times to leave me be for a while. but no you have to be like every other man and not take the freaking hint. you know i thought inuyasha and kouga was jaken." snapped kagome

haji sighed as he took her into his arms and held her as he looked around. he sensed someone watchng them. and he didnt know what they are or who they are in the first place. while he knew his hand was indeed on her ass but he didnt care at the moment.

"you need to get some rest kagome. and that dont mean to go into your inner world." said haji

haji pulled her close into his chest he was enjoying this. so he hoped she didn't take notice tot he all to noticeable boner he was sporting and he was not small in the least he was large. while kagome sighed in annoyance he was freaking turned on by this. what the hell while she blushed at what she was feeling.

"now stay close to me kagome." said haji

kagome looked around and saw three cloaked figured. one at the end looked like a kid by the size. or it could of been a midget. while she arched a brow and wondered what the hell and who the hell they are. while haji seemed like he was unnerved by all their mere existence.

"what the hell are they?" asked kagome

"we finally caught up with you, kagome,"

haji was not going to let her go he knew she had other forms of fighting. it would have been good that she knew of those back in the day before she started her shikon jewel travels. but then again he would of felt like he was not helping if she did. so it didnt mater either way.

"they know who i am? who the hell are you? are you with the red shield? if you come to take me back. i will kill you all, i'm not going back to you people." snapped kagome

"your wrong," ssaid haji

kagome was confused now as they all took out their weapons. not it explained it all they are there to kill her. or they wanted the shikon jewel. or her blood she didnt even know which one it was. or they could be hired help from the red shield to hunt her down since she knew the others was going to remain with them to make sure they dont do nothing wrong to her.

"we are the schiff, we are finite beings."

"the schiff?" asked kagome

the fat one had a club it seemed with spikes all around it as he slammed it to the ground to show that he was ready to take her down. while glasses pointed his staff at her as if he was going to stab her with it. so what the hell do they really want with her in the first place they didnt even answer that one yet.

"we have come here to take you blood."

haji helped kagome to him as kagome finally nodded menatlly there it was. it was her blood that they wanted. but then again why the hell did they want her blood in the first place. they could explain on that reason why they wanted it. but then again they wouldnt since they wanted to fight. haji took kagome bridle style and flashed out of there quickly with the schiff fallwoing them.

"i think they are coming after us. are they chiropterans as well?" asked kagome

haji found a place in a tree to put kagome at. while he looked around to sense on where these schiff had gone and how close they are. he needed to make sure she was going to be ok before he defended her. he was going to show her that he was able to fight for her and she was not going to be alone.

"kagome listen i know you want to fight. just please this once do as i say. you must survive for only you can put an end to all of this. i may not be able to protect you till the end. kagome if i dont return you must fight like the warrior that you are." said haji

kagome took the dagger that was given to her as she saighed. annoyed that she was put on the side lines once more. but she was going to do this for him this once. while she watched him take off to where ever these schiff are hiding or looking for them at.


meanwhile a little while later

haji was taking them all on he had to protect his kagome at all cost. as they sent different and all king attacks. he had a few hits in and they had a few on him. but he was not going to give up. if it meant his death he would die happy to know that his kagome would get away and fight and save the world liek she was knwon to do.

"that dammed chevalier thinks he is so dammed tough."

haji flashed he had to get them away from his kagome only to be blocked by a female schiff. she was prepared to attack him. his mind went into overdrive to see what he was able to do to get his collective ass out of this one. while making sure his kagome was not found from them.

"she is not around he must of hidden her somewhere close by."

"kagome." thought haji

haji had this feelig that the one just caught on that he had hidded his kagome. as she flahed away from him and was about to go and take off to go and hunt down his kagome. he dindt even care what their names where. he tried to go after her only to been slammed into a tree. as he was stabbed from the front and behind.

"kagome. run," thought haji

haji hoped and prayed that kagoem was abel to hear his thoughts. and this time he does hope she gets bored and take off if it only meant that she would not be harmed. and she would be able to fight on. he would come for her in the end he always did that was how they always did things.


meanwhile a little while later

kagome thought she heard haji voice. but then again she wondered if he was ok in the she was starting to get bored and wanted to fight. when she first came into her death god powers they wanted to place her with her uncle kepnachi but the soul king wanted to have her as his captain. kagome gawked to see haji standing there with a freasking staff through his dammed chest. and he tossed a dammed sword at the female schiff.

"i'm impressed that you caught up with me with those wounds of yours. as i thought you were indeed hiding her. unfortunately i seem to be running out of time too."

the female schiff took her weapon and started to fight with haji. kagome was watching from the place she was hiding in. even though it killed her pride that she had to use the word hiding and hiding in the first place. sesshomaru and the others must be laughing where ever they are at her with this. only to see haji pinned to the tree.

"stay still and don't give me a hard time."

haji raised his hand only to have that pinned tot he tree. what the hell was this lady going to do to him. he just hoped it was nothing that was going to invollve him screwing her. that is somethng that he didnt want to happened. bad enough diva tried a long long time about and he kicked her ass for trying.

"you don't understand our suffering. we can only live in darkness. we're very much alike. but... the difference between you and me is just one little thing. what is missing from me is the special blood."

kagome narrowed her eyes as she watched the female schiff bite into haji and she was holding in the growl in her throat. while the remained schiff showed up to seee what their team member or family whatever they call their little odd freaky group. when she stopped she pulled her sleeve backk.

"you have the sign!"

"thorns have already appeared on your body?"

the female schiff stopped looking at her wrist as she turned back to her little group and smiled to them kindly. kagome was confused what the hell was thorns and what did that mean. was it the sign of their death or something . while she watched on and listened to the conversation.

"ever since the last full moon."

"HAJI!" yelled kagome

kagome came out to see if she was going to be any help to him. haji looked to see his kagome there. his heart sank at the thought that he was pinned to the dammed tree and he was not able to help her. while kagome was going to fight them and he knew he had no say in the mater.

"kagome watch out." warned haji

kagome huffed really as she moved her hands in a smell as a shield appeared in from of her. the staff blade bounded right off of it. as she let her glamour down so she was able to use more power. while the schiff was in shock at what they are seeing. this was new and was not in the information they had gathered.

"finally i have found you."

kagome summon her bow out of her miko nad quincy powers. she was not going to go down with out a fight. while the other female looked at her in awe. this was not in the information either. what they hell is she other that what they had read. they only read she was only able to fight with a sword and nothign else.

"oh come on now really. this has been done before. and it is like really soooo lame that people claimed to use other people idea's. but then again it would never end." said kagome coldly

"we know of your special blood is supposed to bring immediate death to all chiropterian's. but we are not sure what powers you are using we do not know of this. but one thing for sure we are not afraid of your blood."

"because it is your blood that may actually give us hope."

the woman who just finsihed talking the one who drank from haji groaned and was going to pass out. and it seemed her name is ghee. what a odd name for someone like her. but then again not her business. but they never explained why and what they needed her blood for.

"ghee! your getting worse."

"the checaliers blood cannot actually cleans our awful curse. it is over for me." siad ghee

kagome blinked not sure what the hell was going on. and wondered what the hell by what they meant by awfull curse. and to cleanse their blood from it. what the hell was going on. and how the hell were they made. then it hit her sorta that they might have been made through the labs that diva was running.

"so then?"

"kagome!" gasped haji

the one with the glassed came over and took his weapon and kagome heald her bow and was ready to take him down if that is how he wanted to play. she could blow some steam off and some anger. while haji was going to have a heart attack if he was still able to have one that is.

"come on glasses im ready to beat you ass." hissed kagome

"damn! the sun is coming up."

kagome watched them all flash out of there to a safe place as the sun was indeed riseing. and in some way this kinda amused her with the whole vampire thing. as she menatlly snickered from the thought. as she watched them flash one by one. haji was wondered if she was ok since she had not fed or consumed any blood since she was using her powers. kagome bow shimmered away as she passed out.

"KAGOME!" yelled haji

haji painfully remoced himself from the tree and the weapons that seemed the have been impaleing him to the said tree. as she made his way over to his kagome who was passed out from hunger and stress and other things. he knew she would be mad at him for force feeding her his blood but she needed it. as he fed her a good amount her eyes opened to look up at him.

"haji? where did they go off to?" asked kagome

"get some rest please." pleaded haji

haji moved her so her head was resting on his lap. as he ran his fingers through her hair. he knew she liked when he had done that. he wiped the remaining blood from her lips. when he heard her sigh as if she was in a happy mood. or was relaxed. wen he felt her grip his hand.

"haji," said kagome

kagome fell into a fitful sleep after she sighed his name. he was just happy she was ok. he knew they are close to the zoo somewhere he never wanted to go back to on how they used her. but then again he would have never known her if it wasn't for the place in the first place.


meanwhile the following day

haji lead kagome through the thick fog to the place where it all started. kagome looked around and had to say it was a tad bit creepy here with the fog in all. and wondered if they finally made it to the place that they had to go to. they made it to the iron gates that lead them to the old manor.

"so is this finally the zoo?" asked kagome

kagome reached out and pushed the rusty old gates open. they looked so historical. while haji knew that she was not going to like what he's learned. but he knew for a fact she would take it all in and accept that is who she is. and that was who she was always. haji went before her he placed his hand on the gate and pushed it open for her. as kagome looked around and saw the beauty of the place. as a vision of a burning building stopped her.


meanwhile in the past

haji as a young child stood there before the master of the house. he gotten him for kagome to have someone to talk to and play with. and maybe when he is older to marry her and birth more children like her. well all in all that is what he hoped kagome made it to the man who was her father in the sense of the word.

"joel, who is this boy?" asked kagome

"this is haji princess." said joel

kagome blinked and looked at the boy before her. he looked like a kid who had no emotions what so ever. while she eyed him and wondered what in the world she was supposed to do with some young boy. while joel watched her from where he stood. joel placed his hands on the boys shoulder.

"he is going to be your new best friend," said joel

"my new best friend?" asked kagome

joel smiled he knew that she is learning on how to interact with others. and this is another step in doing so. while he watched as kaome tilted her head to the side and wondered why she had to talk to some young boy of all things what would he know in conversation with her.

"he will start living here today. so i want you to teach him how things work around here. be a good friend to him ok," said joel

"yeah sure why not." said kagome

haji turned his head from her as if he was trying to avoid her. but then again she saw the cold and distant look in his eye as if he was being forced to be here. and forced to be at her side but that she didn't know that joel payed his family to take him away from them.


meanwhile in the present

kagome eyes went wide as she just remembered how she and haji had met. and it was kinda amusing how much of a prissy girl she was back them and a bitch as well. but haji was so different as a boy he had the eyes of ulqiorra and sesshomaru when she first met them. cold and filled with hate and loneliness when they first met. and she was basically still learning the ways of life.

"I've first remembered meeting you here for the first time. it was in front of this fountain. i believe. i think i might have been a little selfish and a bitch back them. wasn't eye and you had the cold eyes and full of lonliness. sometimes it reminded me sesshomaru and ulqiorra now that i think about it." said kagome

haji smirked at how she just said that. but then again she was different from when they first met. he was only a mere child who had been bought by the man who raised her. he never seen someone so beautiful in his young life at the time. he thought she was some sort of a angel.


meanwhile in the past

haji bought up roses like she told him to. only to have her get bitchy and hand him the pink rose back to him. as he looked down at it and wondered what in the world was wrong with it. re think'd on his early thought about her being a angel she was a demon with the way how she treated him. but then again he had no choice in the matter that he had to live here since he was not allowed to go back to his family since her people basically bought him as if he was some animal.

"i don't like roses in this color. go and fetch me a red one at once." ordered kagome

kagome walked over to her mirror as she checked herself out in it. as she seen him still standing there as if he was stupid or he didn't understand what she had just said. she only arched a silver brow at him and crossed her arm's and wondered what the hell he was doing. it's like he was doing this to piss her off like he knew that he was doing it. but then again she didn't know him that well so what did she know.

"what the hell are you waiting for boy? go now boy! chop! chop!" snapped kagome

"you can get it yourself." snapped haji

haji didn't know what came over him he had never ever talked back to no one. but then again he didn't know he was in front of someone who was able to murder him. and someone who was going to remain the way she is forever. while he watched the silver brow arch at him from the smart mouth he had on him. how she wanted to smack him for even daring to speak to her like that.

"what make's you think you can talk to me like that brat!" hissed kagome

kagome marched her way over to haji with her fist clinched in anger. while haji was not going ot back down to a mere woman. he was not going to show weakness in front of her either. he was not going to be no servant boy either to some bitchy prissy female.

"if you don't like it then do not speak to me." snapped haji

kagome growled and marched her way out of the room leaving this little mouthy brat in there. while she hunted down the man who was her father. well someone who she thought was her father that is since she didn't even know what she was and who he was to her in the first place. and that she was being studied for the name of being studies for a new life form. even though she studied her own form of things in her lab.


meanwhile later that night

kagome and joel was in front of the fire place. while kagome was all huffy about the boy they had gotten her to be her friend. while joel puffed on his pipe while listening to kagome rant and rave. he thought it was cute how she did that. she was like the daughter that he never had other than a test subject. even though she hated amshel the one man who worked for him. oh how she wanted to punch him in the smug ass face of his.

"i don't like that little mouthy brat." growled kagome

"why?" asked joel

joel arched a brow at her and wondered why she didn't like haji. he seemed to liked her but he just had the issue on showing his emotions. but then again kagome was one to hide hers. but when they are about people she cared for. then she has her heart on her sleeve. but she had to realize that for herself. there was only things he was able to teach her. but he was doing this in the name of science. even though he was more caring and thought of her as his own daughter he never had. one thing he never placed in his notes was how much more special she was. and that will go to the gave with him.

"well for starters. he dont' do nothing i order or tell him to do. i told him to polish all my shoes but he didn't do it. and when i told him to help me change my clothing he turned beat red and ran out of the room as if the monster under the bed was going to get him." ranted kagome

"well its very clear kagome. you can't make friends with him by treating him that why." said joel

kagome pouted from what he had just said. she didn't understand on how to make a friend. it was confusion to her. she had been living her all alone with the man she called father and the odd people who work for him. and the staff of the house. she didn't have no one was offering friendship to her before. and she knew that she had to learn sooner or later on what she had to do and think on haji.

"and why is that joel?" asked kagome

"try being more kind and compassionate with him dear. like what you do with the people you are close to. and you be surprise by what happens." said joel

"that's right, because you two will eventually..." said amshel

joel and kagome looked over to amshel. kagome hated amshel he was creepy and she didn't like him. he was like one of those perverts that want something that they knew they could not get. but she did not understand why her father got mad at him that was baffling to her sometimes. hell if he dropped dead she wouldn't even feel sad for his death she would be jumping up and down for joy to know the sick freak would be going to hell if he died.

"amshel." hissed joel

"i didn't expect such a thing from have you gotten attached to them already?" asked amshel

kagome arched a silver brow and wondered what in the world is wrong with the ass. she wanted to punch him in the freaking face. as she looked at her after and wondered what in the world was he thinking keeping this creep around for. he should get rid of him before something happened. joel seen the look of hate and anger in her eyes. hell he only kept him around for the sake of his smarts.

"what is the matter?" asked kagome

"oh, it is nothing dear. it is almost time for your treatment." said joel

joel snapped his watch shut as he took the girl he thought of as a daughter to her treatment. he would never ever admit how she thought of her to amshel. the man just rubs you the wrong way and he never liked that much about. he knew the glass of blood is waiting for her in her room so she was able to drink it. even though it was more than one glass that she had to drink.


meanwhile a hour later

the maid left with the wine glass that was full of blood. while kagome lay'd on her bed legs stretched out. joel smiled as he sat down on the bed next to her and smiled kindly to the girl. well girl to him she was so kind and loving but she rarely showed it to people she didn't know. it takes her a while to warm up to others. but he knew that she was a quick learner and a genius. and for sure hates amshel with her entire being.

"tell me kagome. how are you feeling?" asked joel

"oh, you know the same as always," said kagome

joel took out his napkin and wiped the blood from her face that was left over from her transfusion in his terms. they only had to up the amount of blood that she had to drink. joel hummed as if he was thinking on matters of the study that came to her kind. she just didn't know he wrote it down after he goes back to his office when he was done seeing her for the day and send her to bed.

"so the dizziness is gone?" asked joel

"yeah.. um joel if i give haji some lessons on how to play the cello. well maybe just maybe we would get along much better. he don't see much of the type to play the piano." said kagome

joel smiled as he placed a hand on kagome cheek and smiled kindly to her. he knew that she was getting warmed up to him. that is what he wanted. she deserved a friend she was always so lonely and needed some form of friendship and comfort. and now he had gotten it for her even though some of it was for other reasons as well. he hoped that their friendship once it starts would turn into love. but that is a old fool dreams and hopes.

"why yes dear. that might just work. kagome i think you should try whatever you wish to my dear." said joel

kagome smiled brightly and hugged her father to her as she was going to teach someone something that she loved to do. well other that the grand piano she loved to play. the cello and the violin was the other things that she loved most other than he sword fighting. well she knew he would learn sooner or later. but one thing at a time. as she thought on what song would be easy for him to play.


meanwhile three days later

it was a rainy cold and crummy day outside of the manor. kagome tried her best to teach the young boy who was supposed to be her friend. but his playing was not the best. and she had been teaching him and directing him. but she knew he was trying his best to learn and he was getting better little by little. but she was getting annoyed by the way he was handling the cello. it was not the correct why and she would have to correct him on that.

"oh for the love of all that is good and holy. you are doing it wrong boy! not like that. like this. hold the bow straight against the strings like i told you to." explained kagome

kagoem showed him how to do it with her hands and arms. while haji jut looked at her blankly that was annoying to her. while she sighed and pinched the bringe of her nose this was a pain in her ass and never understood how people did this for a job day in and day out.

"now do it over again. from the top. what is it? go on and play," said kagome

haji raised his arm and threw the bow to the ground by her feet. while kagome eye brow twitched in annoyance on how he was acting. she was trying to help and be friendly. it was just irking that he was being a jerk and a brat about the whole issue. as she sighed in annoyance with how he was acting with everything she was trying to do for him. and she listened to joel but it seemed what he asked of her was not working out much.

"what do you think you are doing? joel told me to teach you things and to help. so that is why i have been going out of my way to help you." snapped kagome

"i never asked for you help in the first place." snapped haji

haji stood up and walked away from her and the cello. he was not going to have to take this. he wanted to go back home. he wanted to go back to his family. he was so alone and lonely here. it feels like he was being watched everywhere he was and what he was doing it was annoying her all to much. and she has never ever met someone so irking in her dammed life.

"if you are going to be my friend you could at least learn how to play the cello at least." snapped kagome

"i've been already perfectly instructed how to dance." said haji

kagome now was kinda interested in how he danced. while he was at the door wanting to leave. she wanted to know what kind of dancing that he knew of. since she didn't know much from what she was teach'd from her home. she don't even know what the outside of her home look's like she was never allowed to go into town. she always wondered what it looked like outside of the lands that her father manor was sitting on.

"oh wonderful then show me, come along i can play any song that you wish me to. i am ready." said kagome

kagome took her seat and wondered what she was going to see that was going to be rather amusing to her. but then again she was getting used to being around someone like him. it seemed that he was debating on something as if he didn't know if she should see him dance. maybe it might be cute or rather amusing. but then again she wouldn't know until she see's him do something other than stand there looking stupid.

"you know if you don't do it and help me. then why dont you just go back to wherever you came from boy." snapped kagome

"you know what i will do whatever you want me to do . even be your friend at night. as you can see i have no choice kagome because your people bought me." snapped haji

kagome eyes went wide from what he had just said. while kagome never knew that he was bought that was so sad and she would never ever do that to someone. and she felt for him he was so lonely she felt it in his very soul. it was odd how she was able to do things like that but she felt for actually sensed his deep sadness and loneliness in his soul and his heart. but then again she saw the tears in his eyes. he was alone in the world maybe she could be his family.

"don't look at me like that." snapped haji

haji turned away from the angelic woman. he didn't want her to see him in his moment of weakness of him crying. he normally did it when he was alone. but she was looking at him as if she understood him on how he felt with his mere loneliness as if she was lonely herself and it was true she had no one. well joel but sometimes she wondered what he was to her. and sometimes she wondered if she was used for some lab subject.

"i never knew." said kagome

kagome took haji into her arms and ran her fingers through his hair. as she held him to let him know that he was no longer alone in the world. she was his family now and his friend that is what she wanted him to know. while haji eyes went wide from the contact his own mother and father never held him when he was sad or lonely. that is how he turned out the way he was.

"can i do anything for you to ease the sadness and the deep loneliness i understand how you feel you know. i am the same way. i have no one just joel and no friends to speak of, you know when i am sad and want to cry. joel gives me a huge hug and tells me it will be ok. and then it is all better. what about you haji dear? just tell me what i could do for you to make things all right for you." said kagome

haji was confused by everything that he was feeling. no one ever treated him this way. he grew up poor and never wanted for nothing. but one thing he wanted was someoen to love him and care for him. maybe his wish finally came true with this angelic woman who was letting him to cry into her dress. a dress that cost a pretty penny that he knew for sure. she was always dressed in the finest silks and jewels.


meanwhile in the present

kagome looked at the pink roses and ran her hand over them. she remembered things just being her as she smiled sadly. loneliness was her almost constant companion in this odd life other's. but now she had more people and as well haji. but life was never what it seemed when came to be her. kagome knew that ritsu and scarlet would have came from tamaki to protect him and not let them use him as a lab subject. hell she didn't even know if her other kids was awake or not. well only tamaki twin and hikaru and karou.

"i didn't even know how to say i'm sorry back then," said kagome

haji smiled as he knew that her memories was coming back to her. and he never knew was love was until she held him that day and let him cry into her dress. he was always and forever grateful to her for showing him and teaching him things that he knew nothing about. as she took a seat on the old steps haji only stood behind her as she remembered everything that she had merely forgotten.

"when you first arrived i remember being so over joyed and happy and having so much fun. but then all the fun and joy was taken away something i am so used to now when things started to change." said kagome

kagome looked up to the sky as if she was talking to her dead family and friends. haji smiled she was telling them what she remembered. he knew that she was indeed a spiritual being she was born with something in her that was of great value. but it was her soul now after she finished what was needed to be done. she never knew that joel had known that she was born with the jewel in her and kept it to him until the day he had died.


meanwhile in the past.

haji was playing the cello like he always had done fro kagome. while she listened and looked out the window with the far away look in her ruby eyes. as if there was something she knew ad thought on. haji watched through his thick lash's at the beauty she was. she was always a angel to him. she was something and someone who he held dear and that he was possessive over her.

"what is the matter kagome?" asked haji

"you know it is not fair you can play it much better than me. even though i am far better with the piano." said kagome

haji smiled and was going to be playful with his angel who was the one who placed a smile on his face. he ran his fingers through her silky hair. he was possessive over her. and he knew the males of the house knew it. he never understood why he felt that way. but she seemed to not have taken notice. he knew the males would not drool over her with him around because they knew he would kick their asses for even daring to look at her and think of her in such a manor.

"would you wish for me to teach you?" asked haji

"why bother? it is far much easier for you anyway because you are so much more taller than me." said kagome

kagome walked away only to have the string of the cello snap and cut her finger. haji rushed to her side only to see the wound close up. that was confusing to him. he knew things that are far different when it came down to kagome. and she was different he just never knew and what she was. either way he would never look at her differently. or judge her. she was someone he would not give up willingly if there was not choice int he matter.


meanwhile with joel and haji

haji went to go and see joel to see if he would be able to get answers in on what he wanted to know. he needed to know what she was. he wanted to be by her side. but only to do that he needed to know what and who she was, because he knew she was no human for that to see. but he would never turn away from her if she was not human she was his everything and that is something he didn't want to give up on.

"when i came here until now. i noticed that kagome has not aged a day. and her wounds heal on their own. i've heard that blood is drawn from the staff of the manor for kagome as well." said haji

"oh not to worry your pretty head over. it is a simple transfusion. kagome needs blood to live young man." said joel

joel and haji didn't know that kagome was listening into their conversation. while haji was confused on why she had to live on the life's blood of other humans. why was she not able to take his blood. he would be more than willing to be giving it to her. she was his to care for not this old fool. he had this feeling he was using her as a science subject and that didn't sit well with him.

"but why? it is not as if she lost alot of blood or anything," said haji

"the history of life goes back ten million, or maybe a hundreds million years. there are a great many mystery's in this world that remains unexplained. but sure as we exist right here and now and so does kagome. and that is a farce. its just that we haven't figured out why she is the way she is. but she is far more special than she knows herself. i wish i could learn everything about her. and i wish i could see how she turned out in the future because she was born for a great mission for the fate of the world. but i am not sure how much longer i will be of this world. but i can tell you this. that passage of time is certainly merciless but for kagome she is born out of time and time is her master. she has been born with something that she must do." said joel

haji sighed and didnlt understand what he had meant by that. joel kept some things to himself that involved kagome and how special she was. he just never trusted amshel with some things that will go to the grave with him kagome was not human and not that solved that. but he would never ever judged her on that fact. she was his friend and hiped for more one day. as he left to return to her side and he knew that she would be there waiting.


meanwhile later that day

haji took kagome out to the lake to have some time away from the house. he enjoyed these moments like this with her. he can imagine himself being with her as her husband in his mind as they rowed down the lake and have a romantic time. he sighed at the thoughts he had while he took noticed she was deep in her own thoughts.

"haji," said kagome

"yes?" asked haji

kagome sighed how could she bring up that she knew what they had a talk about. how could she come out and say that she over heard everything. yes she knew she was different and that she was not human. she always was wonderful with all sort of weapons mainly the sword and long bow.

"i want you to tell me the truth. do you think i'm creepy?'' asked kagome

"what?" asked haji

haji was shocked he wound never ever think she was creepy. well maybe when she was mad then she was creepy. but he sees her so much more than creepy. he sees her as a angel. and angel who showed him what love is and how people comfort each other. she was the only one who gave him that contact when he was a child.

"are you afraid of me?" asked kagome

"of course i;m not afraid of you." said haji

kagome huffed at what he had just said. she just cant get ot out of her head on what she had to hear when haji and joel was talking. it did clear up on some things. but she was never allowed to do much. sure she had her own lab and everything. it's just she wanted more in her life and do more if that was even possible. kagome nearly fell over as the boat shook.

"kagome be careful." warned haji

haji got up and took her before she fell over the edge of the boat. even though he was planning for that to happen. even though he thought of ways to have her to come to his arms. it was the best ideas and she never knew that he did it so she would come to him and he was able to hold her. it was the only thing he wanted. yes he wanted more but he knew he had to wait for that.

"there are so many things i don't understand. i hear your heart beating at the same pace as mine. but why does time pass much more differently for you?" asked kagome

haji sensed her sadness as she opened up to him. she always had done that with ease. even though he welcomed it. but there was times he gets so possessive over her to show all men and boys that she was his. but he never made her know that he does that. as he sighed and nuzzled her hair to show her that he was there.


meanwhile in the present.

kagome looked over the water where she and haji had that talk. as she sighed now she understood what he had meant. he knew that she was born with the jewel in her. and he kept'd it to himself. it was something she was grateful over since the red shield or any other people who would use her for that very reason if they knew that before she even finished what fate had for her.

"well i guess that boat is long gone now." said kagome

"yes." said haji

haji smiled at that day he was the one who shook the boat to make her fall into his arms. while he watched her look over the water. the only difference now with her hair she had pink streaked through it. and that was the side effect of being the jewel protector. she showed him something that he never had never known was there. that only one eye is ruby red the other had a contact in it. the color was pink he never took notice of it until she told him. and now she was comfortable to run around and not care what people thought of her eyes. she cant just roam around with her demonic markings and elf ears.

"you know something i just thought on this. you haven't changed since then why is that? why is that haji?" asked kagome

kagome turned to look at him and he was there standing like he always does as she leaned against the stone bridge and sighed she knew he wouldn't tell her if he wanted to. so she would have to let things take their course on their own. haji watched her as she look liked she was in deep thought about everything that she was seeing in her mind. and what she was remembering coming back to her.

"when i first met you. you were just a little boy and then you grew bigger than me. and then..." said kagome

kagome stopped thinking she didn't come into her demonic blood until she woke up again. why did he stop ageing and growing. kagome looked him over he had no soul chain for one. and he had something she was not able to think what it was. what is it that is keeping him frozen in time like she was and her children. haji lookd over to the cliffs. and kagome gasped as if he was telling her what happened.

"then i am the one. i did this to you, didn't i? i am the reason why time stopped for you am i haji?" asked kagome

haji would never ever regret that he was able to remain by her side, he was never going to get mad at her for stopping time for him. it was a blessing to him that she did so. and he was happy that she had even though the transformation was indeed painful. and that he had to suffer being alone. but not no more and that is what the kami gave her and him that she never had to go into a deep sleep no more.


meanwhile in the past

kagome and haji was having a nice meal out side to enjoy the lovely weather. while haji poured kagome a nice glass of her favorite wine. he made sure the cooks made her favorite foods as well. this was what he enjoyed the quite moments with her and that he would never ever trade for anything in the world. as she stick'd her finger in the jelly and licked it.

"kagome." said haji

"oh come now haji no time like the present! its yummy why dont you try some! they say the blackberry jam had turn out rather well this year, and they were right on that!" chirped kagome

haji only smiled she was a kind soul but he seen something else about her.s he had the heart of a warrior deep in her. but he never really thought on that. he just was happy to stay with her and that is all he ever wanted since he came to be here with her. she was his everything he didn't even know that she knew that he thought that way about her.

"you know better than to use your fingers kagome. you have to be more polite now." lectured haji

"you know your starting to sound more like joel every day 's creepy ya know." said kagome flatly

haji only smiled as he placed the apple down to asked her about what she was going to do about his birthday party. as kagome dipped her finger into the jelly one more time. he only smiled only kagome would just say screw you i do whatever i wand and think whatever i wish and want if you don't like it kiss my ass. that is another reason why he loved her.

"speaking of joal, have you already prepared a gift for him?" asked haji

"as a matter of fact, that is the other reason why i brought you here," said kagome

"what?" asked haji

kagome smiled brightly at him. but she knew that he would do it for her. but then again that is something she really never thought about on if he decided not to help her to get the gift that she wanted to get for joel. even though he had to hold her back today from beating the crap out of amshel even though she kinda did have a few shots in on him. ass he waved for him to fallow her.


meanwhile a little while later

kagome looked over the cliff to where the flowers that she was going to give joel for his birthday. while haji was looking at her and wondered what in the world she take him here for. but then again it had to do with joel and his birthday. as he sighed and waited to see what she wanted him to do for her. and he had a feeling things will change from there.

"i was hoping to give those lilies to joel for his birthday party tonight., what do you think? i know joel loves lilies. but these lilies are more red and they only bloom here. that is why we came all this way," chirped kagome

kagome liped her dress as she was about to climb over to where they lilies was. haji rushed over to her and knew that she would end up getting hurt if he even dared to let her do something like that. yes she would heal on her own. but that didnt mean he could not stop worrying about her. so he was going to be the one to go down and get the lilies.

"kagome! i cant let you. it's too dangerous," warned haji

"okay then. but could you get the lilies for me haji?" asked kagome

haji groaned she gave him the puppy dog eyes. either way he would do it for her. and only her to craw over the edge of a high cliff to grab lilies for the old fool who he didn't like since he used her for things he didn't agree on. she was still a living person and she didn't deserve to be used as something to study one. the only thing he was grateful for to the old fool was that he brought him and brought him to the woman he loved more than anything in the world.

"otherwise, i wont have anything to give joel for his birthday," said kagome

kagome watched haji sigh as he climbed over the edge of the cliff. when he got a little way down he skidded but he caught himself before he fell. kagome sat on the edge and watched him to make sure he was going to be ok. because she would come after him if he was harmed. haji continued to make his way to where the bright red lilies was. when he made it he reached over to the lilies.

"no. not that one haji. those over there!" called kagome

kagome pointed out the ones she really wanted. haji sighed as his foot slipped from the rock it was one. but he had a good hold on the one rock that was keeping him from falling to a very very long way down and a very painful death. as he reached for i when he got it he slipped and was falling down.

"HAJI NO!" yelled kagome

kagome rushed down the cliff and rushed to her friend side who basically died to get her that blasted lillie. she wondered if she was able to save him. or else it was to late and he left her to go to a better place as she fell to her knees by his side not careing that she was getting her dress all dirty. not as if it was bothering her to get dirty it never really bothered her when it came down to that.

"haji what did i do? what do i do. he is bleeding so much." thought kagome

kagome then remembered something when she was listening into the conversation that joel and haji was having. about blood transfusions. so that is what she has to do give him some of her blood and he would come back to life. it was worth a shot in saving his life. but she never knew what the affect her blood was going to do to him and make him frozen like this forever and ever.

"wait a minute. maybe just maybe i give him some of my blood." thought kagome

kagoem reached into haji pockets and took out a pocker knife that he was known to carry around on him. she sliced her palm of her hand as she drinked her own blood. she opened haji mouth and she pushed the blood in her mouth into his as she smoothed down his throat as it goes down. rain clouds was above them as if it was crying for her loss. his body started to shake and sounded like he was choking on somthing.

"what the hell is happen to him?" asked kagome

haji continued to shake and scream. kagome held him down only when he stopped the painful screaming. as she wondered what the hell just happened. did her bloos make him feel pain. she was just so confused by all of this. why did that happen to haji. it didnt make no sense and more and more confusion for her to think on. kagome laid her head on his chest to even see if his heart was beating.

"haji i can't hear your heart beat no more. did i kill you?" asked kagome

kagome felt her own tears leak from her eyes as she waited to hear something from his chest. she thought she saved him so why didn't she hear his heart beat. this was not the way it was supposed to happened. she gave him her blood and he should be alive isn't that how joel explained it. so why is he not looking at her or talking to her. and no heart beat she saved him dammit.


meanwhile in the future

kagome felt her tears pull in her eyes. it was her fought that he was the way he was. and he jhad to forever to be that way. she wondered if he hated the life he has to live. and if he regretted to live this long. haji looked ath at and wondered what she was thinking. he was wondering if she thought he hated his life.

"and after that... i ran back. i ran back to joel's leaving you there to your fate. and after that. i am the one who has stopped time for you? did i stop time for you?" asked kagome

kagome waited for him to speak to her. but he said nothing to her on it. maybe he was mad at her for doing that to him. maybe he never wanted to be a monster like her. maybe that is the reason why he never tell her things. as she closed her eyes and sighed she felt her age for the first time in a long long time.

"i did, didn't i? i condemed you to this miserable existence by giving you my blood." said kagome

"that;s the only reason i can be with you now kagome. it is the one thing that allowed us to travel through a great many ages together. well except the 500 years that you and i was appart that i knew nothing about and had happened." said haji

haji smiled as he thought of all the things they could have done through out the 500 years they had to be appart. and now she would never have to sleep like that again. her demonic blood was the thing that over rights the 30 year sleep. and that i heas happy that she has in her blood now. plus when her priestess blood also helped in doing that as well.

"those were all... me?" asked kagome

kagome thought on everything that came back to her mind. as she watched a movie of herself. and then again she has done far worst when she was under the control of naraku. maybe that is why the two band of seven members that she saved was still alive. but she wished she knew this when she lost the others. but there was no way in doing so if it was their ashes.

"so i'm...so i'm... what the hell happened on joel's birthday? what did i do? is she... me? or..." said kagome

haji watched her as she thought over everything. and let it all sink in as if it was helping her to come to her sesnes when it came down to what had happened that fateful day. kagome had her hand on her chin in a thinking sort of manor. and it was soemthing that she always had done when it came down to her when she thought.

"that song ... so that's who she was. diva... my little sister even though i dont have to accept the fact that she and i are related by blood. it makes me sick to even think that." said kagome

"yes,, you and diva are indeed blood relatives." said solomon

solomon came out from the pillar he was behind he had her story from her own mouth he was only lead to where she was by the pulling that he had to her. while he looked to her. the woman who was the only female who took his own breath away. the one who he wanted to have as his own. but he was not sure was mister stick up the ass is with her for.

"well you could say that you are our mother. and our lover," said solomon

"hey i know who you are." said kagome

"are you starting to remember now kagome?" asked solomon

solomon smiled kindly to her he looked at her eyes. he didnt take notice before one was not pink. it was a contact that was hiding her one eye from them. he had to say he loved it so much. she was different and that is the other reason why he loved her. while kagome arched a brow at him and wondered what the hell he wanted.
