Kagome stared at the wall across from her as she thought, about where Naraku would be hiding, eye brows furrowed in thought, nibbling at her bottom lip. Before shaking her head. "No I'm sorry there are to many places he might be, but I guess that we can narrow them down." Fury nodded his head and made a motion for her to continue. "Well he likes isolated places that are abandoned, or places that when he moves in soon becomes abandoned, nice area that have a suddenly surprisingly amount of people have either moved out or vanished. I garente that he is in one of those locations."

Fury nodded "Alright, until we find Naraku, you are staying in the Tower with the Avengers. I won't hear any arguments about it. I'll let you know as soon as we find something of importance." and with that Fury turned and left the room leaving the others staring at him.

"So I guess this means that I'll need my room back at the Tower Tony," Kagome said softly as she turned to look at Tony. Everyones eyes darted back and forth between the two, waiting for one of them to speak. After a few moment's Tony sighed. "Yeah, I mean its not like it would be given away to anyone else. It's your and always will be." Kagome smiled at Tony and nodded her head. Turning her gaze to the others in the room she spoke "Well I guess that I'll see everyone back at the tower." And with that Kagome left with the two Gods following her.


Kagome sat on her bed while Hades and Loki stood across from her. Hades was leaning against the wall, watching as Loki started to pace. "I think you broke him Kagome." Hades said as he pushed himself off the wall and flopped down beside Kagome. Hades moved so he could like down with his back against the headboard and legs crossed, his hands behind his head.

Kagome shook her head at the man before focusing her attention back on Loki who was still pacing back and forth, nibbling his thumb nail. "Loki?" Kagome said quickly as if she did not want to startle the man before her. Loki did not ignolage that he heard her and continued to pace. Sighing Kagome moved to stand but was stopped by Hades who shook his head when she looked at him in question.
"He's to into his head right now, to notice that it would be you that is either touching him. And we both know that he would never forgive himself if he harmed you whether he meant it or not." Kagome nodded her head and looked back at Loki with a sad look.

"Is it my fault that he's like this right now?"

Hades looked at Kagome with a sad smile and sat up, reaching his hand out he brushed a strand of hair away from her face and kissed her forehead before looking her in the eye. "No, it was a long time coming you know this. You might have sped it up, but we both knew that when he got the confrontation that he wanted with his father he would be like this. Its not your fault okay." Kaogme nodded her head and looked away from Hades. Who in turn sighed and shook his head. "And you don't believe a word I said."

Reaching over he took the pillow that was beside him and threw it on the ground beside Loki. The sudden movement startled the God and brought him out of his thoughts. Turning to look at the two, he focused on Hades first, who pointed at Kagome. Raising a brow at the acton he then focused on Kagome. Who was looking down at her hands as she wrung them together.

Moving towards her, he proceeded to kneel down in front of her and grab her hands, this caused her to look up. After a moment she threw her arms around Loki's neck. "I'm sorry."

"What for? You did nothing wrong Kagome. In fact the only thing I have to say besides thank you is why?"

Kagome pulled back and looked at him in question. "What do you mean why? I did it because you are my friend and I'm in your corner just like your in mine. And I will protect you like you have me. And nothing will ever get me to stop. Your stuck with me. Just like Hades is." Loki looked for any hint of a lie in Kagome's eyes and smiled when he saw none. He pulled her in for another hug. "Thank you."

Hades smiled at the two and started to laugh, to himself. Happy know know that Loki finally realized that he was not as alone as he thought he was.

As he watched them pull apart he reached over and nudged Kagome, "So tell us, hows the home front with you and the Iron man? Have you and James managed to nock some sense into his thick head?"

Loki looked at Hades like he was an idiot and shook his head, before pushing Hades off the bed. Which resulted in both him and Kagome laughing at the sight of Hades flaying his arms before he hit the ground. Loki then moved to take Hades spot on the bed, resting in the same position that he was, before he was pushed off the bed. Hades looked up at the two from the floor with narrowed eyes. "I was trying to have a heart to heart Loki, the wife wants to know."

Loki raised a brow at the comment, snorting. 'Really because I could have sworn that she told you to stay out of Kagome's love life the last time you brought it up." Kaogme laughed at the two and nodded her head. "Thats right she did, didn't she. I remember that she threatened to have you in the dog house, literally if she caught you trying to gossip, or get information on my love life." With that she looked over to Loki with a sly smile. Hades gulp at seeing that two with identical smiles and knew that they were planing his demise. "So Loki, what do we do? Should we tell the wife? Or do we make him do what ever we want?" Hades shook his head, he would rather be in the dog house than have to be at their whim. Loki saw the other Gods head shaking and his smile widened. 'I think that we should make him do what ever we want, it would be so much more fun."

Kagome laughed and agreed. Hades growned and let his head fall on to the bed. "My life is over, they've killed me. I'm no longer here, this is just a ghost of the man I was.' Looking up at the two, he willed his eyes to water. "Tell my wife that I love her." And with that he left himself slip back on to the floor. Loki and Kagome looked at each other, and smiled at how the man was acting. Knowing that it would be so much fun messing with him, when they had this over his head.


Rhodey walked to Kagome's room trying to ignore the need he felt to see Tony as well. He knew that ignoring the younger man would be catastrophic in the end, but he couldn't help it. Tony was being more of an asshole than he usually was. So he felt within his rights as a friend to ignore the man until he realize that. Which caused him to snort, the moment Tony realized that he was being an ass without someone telling him, would be the day he kissed the mans feet. With a shake of his head he realized that he was in front of Kagome's door, he paused for a moment, as he was about to knock he heard something crash. Opening the door he raced in only to realize that there another person besides Kagome in the room, and that they were all staring at each other. Rhodey looked at Kagome with a raised brow.

Kagome smiled and pointed to Loki, who intern started at her in an insulted manner before huffing and pointing to her closet where, another crash sounded from. "Let me out" A muffled voice sounded from the closet. Rhodey opened his mouth before shutting it and moved into the room, shutting the door in the process. Leaning against the wall that was across from the two. "I don't want to know." This caused Kagome to laugh and Loki to smirk.

"So, how are you doing?" Rhodey asked Kagome softly, with a kind look in his eye. Kagome tucked her hair behind her ear, and fiddled with her hands shrugging at the question. "I'm okay, been better but I'm okay." Rhodey shot a look at Loki who nodded in response to the silent question that he asked the God. Moving forward he kneeled in front of her and placed his hands on top of hers. "Hey, we'll find him okay, and he will be alive alright. Nothing to worry to much about." He gave her small smile, when she looked at him. Which she returned.

"My lord, you two make me sick." Loki said looking between the two with a mockingly pinched face. "You two are so sweet it hurts."

Kagome snorted at him and stuck her tongue out in response. Rhodey laughed at the two glad that Loki was helping Kagome still. Hearing another thud come from the closet, he turned to look at Loki with a raised brow. "Hades ran in there trying get away from us. He forgot that I keep S'oung in there when he annoys me. So after he was in there Loki and I locked the door." this caused the man to laugh and shake his head.

Loki thought for a moment before he decided to ask the question that was pledging both Gods minds. "So when are you two going to the the Iron idiot the truth.?" The two froze at his question, both their mouths opening and closing in an attempt to respond to him. It was Rhodey who finally responded. "Not anytime soon on my end. He's being a asshole and I'm ignoring him at the moment. Plus he's still with Pepper." he ran his hand along the top of his head. Standing up he moved to lean against the wall again. The God looking at him with sad understanding eyes. Kagome gave him a sad smile knowing that he was hurting just as much as she was, if not slightly more.

"I'm not going to say anything until Rhodey does, besides he has Pepper and I'm not coming between that anytime soon. And no Loki you can't help this, this is the kind of thing that needs to happen by itself, okay." Kagome said grabbing Loki's hand to make sure that he understood what she was saying.

The three of them sat in silence for awhile. Each thinking of something relating to Tony. Before they heard Hades start to cry out for help once more. Loki shot a look to the two with a raised brow. "Should we let him out?"

Rhodey smiled at that and walked towards the closet door and pulled it open, which caused Hades to fall forward. Seeing as he had been leaning against the door. As he landed on his face the room broke out laughing.
