Protection



Kagome was dragged back to the Slytherin common room kicking and squirming. "The

chambers are opened." murmured Sesshoumaru, "This is dangerous. Kagome, you are not

allowed to go anywhere without one of us with you."

"What!?" screamed Kagome, as she tried to run out. Hiei grabbed Kagome by the hand,

and pulled her back.

"I agree with Sesshoumaru on this." stated Hiei seriously, as he held Kagome down.

"You guys know something about the chambers, don't you?" asked Kagome suspiciously.

"That's not important." answered Hiei, as Sesshoumaru sat down and kept a close eye on

Kagome.

~Next day, outside of Slytherin common room~

"Kagome's still sleeping. She was arguing with us all night." reported Sesshoumaru, at

the questioning look on Kurama. "This will make our meeting easier anyway."

"Your right." agreed Kurama, as he leaned against the wall.

"Sorry I'm late." panted Inuyasha. "Overslept."

"Figures." added Sesshoumaru.

"So, what are we discussing?" asked Hiei impatiently.

"Well, I assume all four of us are demons, well, as least half demon." started

Sesshoumaru, as Inuyasha growled. "And I also assume that all of us care for Kagome."

"Hn." snorted Hiei.

"We as demons, we have lived during the time the chambers were open, and though we

weren't here, we know of the dangers. Kagome is in grave danger here." stated Sesshoumaru.

"So I suggest that one of us is by her side at all times."

"Why can't we just tell her." asked Inuyasha annoyed.

"We don't want her to worry about this, and we all know that if she finds out, she'll be

trying to solve it. She won't stop until she got to the bottom of it. Kurama, you should know.

Remember last year?" asked Sesshoumaru.

"Yeah, we should have at least one of us by her side at all times." restated Kurama.

"Good idea." agreed all of them.

"Then it's settled." finished Kurama.

"Let go!" yelled Kagome from inside, as all four demons ran inside. Hiei kicked Naraku

in the stomach, sending him flying away. But he landed gracefully, and acted as if nothing

happened. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome, while Kurama was trying to

calm her down. Hiei and Naraku were preparing for another showdown, when Kikyou popped

up.

Hiei was going to punch Naraku, and Naraku was going to kick Hiei. Both missed, and

hit Kikyou, who came in at the wrong time. Smash, crash. "Why me?" moaned Kikyou in pain,

as she fainted. Naraku promptly left though the door, and toward the Great Hall for breakfast.



~Kagome's POV~

Okay, I'm fine. Kurama was checking for wounds on one side of me, while Inuyasha is

babbling on about me learning self-defense. Sesshoumaru was furious, and muttering something

about tearing Naraku limb from limb. Hiei remained quite, but I could feel the anger radiating off

him. What's with everyone today?

"History of Magic class is this way." I pointed, as the guys pulled me in the wrong

direction.

"Oh, yea." stated Inuyasha, as the five of us made out way into the History of Magic

class. I was going to sit next to Hermione and Harry, when Sesshoumaru grabbed me, and made

my sit in an empty table. Kurama sat on one side, and Inuyasha at the other. Sesshoumaru and

Hiei took the seat behind us.

Something isn't right. They guys are acting strange. It has to do with something that

happened last night. "Yes, Mrs. Granger?" asked Professor Binns.

"Um, can you tell us something about the Chamber of Secrets?" asked Hermione, as I

perked up. That was what was written on the wall last night!

"Uh, professor!" called Inuyasha.

"What?" asked the professor, "and raise your hand."

"I don't feel good. Can I go to the hospital wing?" asked Inuyasha, as he clutched his

stomach in pain.

"Fine." replied the professor.

"I can't walk." argued Inuyasha. "Can Kagome come with me?"

"Yes." replied the professor in a monotone. Why did Inuyasha have to drag me in? I

wanna hear the story! I grumbled, as I helped Inuyasha outside. When we reached the hospital

wing, Madam Promfry checked him.

"There's nothing wrong!" exclaimed Madam Promfry.

"Inuyasha!" I ground out from under my voice in a menacing voice. "Did you do this on

purpose?"

"N-no." stuttered Inuyasha, as he ran out of the hospital wing with me chasing him.

"How dare you!" I yelled, as I sped up. But I could never catch a half-demon. After a

while, I stopped, and panted. Inuyasha popped up next to me.

~Sesshoumaru's POV~

When we came out of class, Kagome was chasing Inuyasha around, trying to hit him.

Soon, a crowd was attracted. "Inuyasha." I called, as Kagome was resting. "Guess you aren't a

total dishonor. You finally did something right today."

"Good quick thinking." complimented Kurama, as Inuyasha smiled in satisfaction.

"But, can you call Kagome off. I really don't want to run anymore!" stated Inuyasha, as

Kagome got up again. Kurama stepped in between Kagome and Inuyasha, and smiled at her.



~Kagome's POV~

"Forgive him. He was just playing around." whispered Kurama in a calm voice. I looked

into his eyes and nodded. I could never bring myself to refuse him anything.

"Fine." I replied, as I latched myself onto Sesshoumaru and Hiei's arm. "Both ice-cubes and I

have quidditch practice."

"Yes, we do." stated Sesshoumaru as we walked toward the field. "And it's Sesshoumaru,

not ice-cube."

"Maybe your brains are to stupid to remember." added Hiei. I fumed at the two demons,

but soon brushed it away.

"I'll call you whatever I want!" I retorted. Sesshoumaru is like the older brother that I

always wanted, but we look more like enemies. Hiei is like my best friend, but we seem like

enemies also. As soon as practice was over, I tried to get to the place where the incident

happened last night.

"Kagome, your going the wrong way." stated Sesshoumaru, as he steered me in the

opposite direction. Darn it.

"Wait!" I yelled. "I'm going to go talk to Harry, Ron, and Hermione." I stated, as I rushed

off to follow the three. Sesshoumaru sighed, and ran after me. Hiei snorted, clearly annoyed, but

followed also. I watched as the three ran into the girl's bathroom, which was haunted by an

annoying ghost.

I slipped in after them to find them talking to Myrtle. "No one wants to upset me?" screeched

Myrtle angrily. "Who are you?"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned to face me. "Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Hiei, what are you

doing?"

"I was following Kagome." replied Sesshoumaru.

"And I was following you guys." replied Kagome.

"And I was falling the two idiots." muttered Hiei, earning a glare from Kagome and

Sesshoumaru.

"So, your Kagome." sneered Myrtle. "I heard about you. The smartest, and most popular

girl in school. Everywhere you go, your accompanied by a cute and handsome guy. And they're

right too."

I could tell Sesshoumaru and Hiei was annoyed with the ghost. After more talking, the six of

us scrambled out, to only run into Percy. "What were you doing in the girl's bathroom?" Another

fight broke out, and ended with us losing house points.

I don't like that Percy guy one little bit. A big, asshole jerk is what he is. Caring about his

positions above everything else. Sesshoumaru, Hiei, and I returned to our common room angrily.

"What's wrong?" sneered Kikyou, but quickly backed off when she spotted Sesshoumaru

and Hiei behind me.

Dew make people hyper?

Wolfgrl13: Glad you found that chapter funny! Black is my brother's favorite color too! He's

Kagome+kurama-4evr: Yes, Kikyou is really stupid! What did you expect? If you said Hiei has a

crush on Kikyou, then it's a no. If you meant Kagome, a little bit, but since Kurama and her are

so close, he wouldn't so more than that. No, Kagome isn't the heir of Slytherin, remember? She's

the heir of Gryffindor! So she can't speak snake language, but she can charm them! Glad you

liked my new story!
