"Oh. Right. That's a problem." Kurama said.

Hiei rolled his eyes. 'The fox needs to concentrate on the problem at hand, not making ningen friends' Hiei thought.

Kagome leaned back on the wall.

"Ow!" she said as her elbow accidentally banged against a brick.

She jumped away from wall as the bricks started moving. She didn't realize that she had jumped into Kurama's arms.

Kurama instinctively caught the thing that fell against him. He blushed as he noticed that it was Kagome. Though it was obvious she didn't notice.

"Wow." he heard Kagome whisper.

He looked at the brick wall, confused. Except... the brick wall wasn't there. Instead stood a gateway to a busy street. It seemed one had to be emotionless to not be amazed by the sight. Of course, Hiei wasn't.

'Hn. Stupid ningen and fox. It's only a street.' Hiei thought to himself.

Kagome stood up, so she wasn't in Kurama's arms anymore. She started walking down the street.

"Coming?" she asked as she saw that Kurama and Hiei weren't following.

"Hn." Hiei said as he zipped next to her.

Kagome jumped as suddenly Hiei was by her side.

"Your fast." she said.

"Hn." was all Hiei said. 'Stupid ningen.' he thought.

Kurama smiled and walked up to her.

"He's always been fast." he said as he was on the opposite side of her.

"Oh really? Are you fast like him?" she asked.

"No, just clever." he said. Kagome laughed, but Hiei just gave one of his 'hn's.'

The three started walking down the street, one silent, two making conversation.

They didn't notice the wall opening again behind them, or two people stepping out onto the streets of Diagon Alley.
