A/N: Hey minna-san! Thanks for the reviews! It's all so encouraging! ^_^ I'm having a blast writing this, because it's been stuck in my head for such a frustratingly long time, along with a few other crossovers.
I just want to let you know, that this chapter has mild reference to rape. I know it sounds awful, but there will be no lemon. Also, I know how it sounds, but the whole story will not revolve around what happens. I don't feel like writing that much angst. Also, the thing is that… grr… well, you'll see. But the story will not always refer back to what happens. This is still a humor story, and the humor will come a little later… kinda… I don't know because I'm an idiot, so we'll see how the story will progress.
If this offends you in anyway, I apologize deeply.
Also, I know used a huge element from Fushigi Yuugi. If you are not familiar with it, I will briefly explain.
In Fushigi Yuugi, there is a priestess named Miaka. Before I start rambling the story, I'll tell you. Ok, in Volume 9, there is a lot of things surround *gasp* the three letter word! This being because it was said that should a miko lose a virginity, she will no longer be able to summon the god, Suzaku.
Anyway, in this story, Naraku realized that a miko's power is greatly reduced should she lose her virginity.

"STOP!"
"STOP IT!"
There was no one there to hear her.
No one to hear her screams of pain and agony.
No one to witness her death. She died that day… at least, a part of her did.
"STOP!" She was wailing now.
"STOP IT… Please." Begging.
But no one was there to save her.
There was no one left who cared.
Chapter 4: The Perfect Plan
Kagome sat bolt-upright in her chair. Her breathing was strong and heavy as she gasped for breath. Beads of sweat rolled down her form, dampening her clothes.
Images of that day flew by in her mind. It cut apart every shred of her strength, leaving her cold and defenseless.
Salt mixed with salt on her cheeks as tears stung her eyes, before rolling down. She gasped more and more, over and over. Gasps and sobs filled her room as she fought both to breathe, and not to let herself be overtaken by her grief.
"Please… no…" The words flowed out from her lips just as they had that day.
Little did she know, she wasn't alone.
A certain fire apparition stood outside of her window, watching her every move. He ignored the fact that she still hadn't sensed him yet, and instead wondered why this girl was doing this.
Mentally slapping himself for thinking like a ningen, instead of using his head… and his eyes, he unwound the headband. As the fabric uncovered a third eye on his forehead, he concentrated.
At first, he thought that it would be hopeless, but after trying, he soon realized that she had no mind shields up. However, there was no time for relief, mikos instinctively had a strong mind, mikos and witches were always difficult, and he knew that he would not be able to hold the mind link for long. It could kill him, and weakness was not something that he admitted to very easily.
He took in her world, the memories racing past her mind, all he could catch were blurs and scenes of unfamiliar grounds.
It all happened so quickly. She watched in horror as her friends were slaughtered… one by one. And all she could do was sit there and scream. They had come for her…
To rescue her. One, pathetic life, hers, just for that they willingly gave their own.
She had been weak, and fallen to Naraku's plan, wandering straight to his clutches.
He murdered each one of them just to see her pain. He lived off her fear. He strived for one thing… that was power. The power to inflict such a blow to the heart. And to be witness to the department of a soul from it's earthly form.
She felt as if she herself was covered in their blood. It had been her fault that they died.
Hiei fought to stay in the girl's mind, but when he regained his focus, her mind was playing a different memory.
"Inuyasha!" She cried, reaching out to the retreating back of a hanyou.
But his form slowly changed into another hanyou. His blood red eyes flashed with malice as he neared her.
She realized the dog hanyou had merely been an illusiong, something the evil hanyou had been a master of.
The real Inuyasha… her Inuyasha… was dead. Gone forever, never to be seen again. She would never fight with him, hear his arrogant tone... What she wouldn't give to "sit" him one last time.
The scene blurred, changing in Hiei's mind.
Her thin arms were chained painfully over her head, her ankles also bound to the wall. She felt like a fly, insignificant pray caught in the web. The shackles took no heed of her struggling just as the sticky thread of a trap.
She felt her mouth go dry as he neared her.
Closer.
Closer.
"Believe me, my dear little miko. This will give me great pleasure. You're powers are far too great as it is…"
Hiei felt something pulling him to the man. He seemed so… familiar…
The girl fought for bravery. To be strong. But those were aspects she had lost a long time ago.
"Please forgive me, but this is necessary." He said, reaching out to her. His hands burning like acid on her porcelain skin.
He smiled, satisfied with her fear. He then moved closer.
It was then that the evil demon carried out his task. He had taken everything already, what was the last strand of decency going to do?
Hiei grimaced at the scene in his mind. He had never really cared about ningens, but this was simply despicable.
Having fun? His eyes widened when he heard something in his mind. But how? The girl knew not of his presence and he could sense no one around who would be of a threat.
Don't be foolish, you're in her head after all. You didn't expect not to hear from me did you? The voice carried on.
Who are you? Hiei answered back fiercely.
Tell me, demon, what does it feel like to be victim of a mind intrusion? Stay away from my reincarnation, or I will kill you.
Get out of my head! Hiei didn't like it. He didn't like it one bit. Sure he had done this countless times, but he had power then, and he had known everything the victim was thinking. This time however, he could not sense where this voice was coming from. It seemed like it was in the girl's mind… but how could that be?
Get out of Kagome's. The only reason there is a link is because of your own fault. Leave, and I will no longer be here.
Hn. He left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Damn that girl." Hiei cursed. "It makes no sense. I'll have to look into this more… before I kill her."
Ha! You just want to delay. Hiei growled. The stupid subconscious in his mind always just had to cut in when he was thinking. Deciding to ignore it, he returned to the matter at hand.
The essence of evil.
The plan of malice.
"Give me chocolate." Satisfied, Hiei took his sweet snow cone out of the human parlor. He licked the cream thoughtfully, ignoring the idiotic humans around him.
He was snacking now, he felt no need to kill, not while he was attending to his favorite (though he'd never admit it) pastime.
It was then that he heard two ningen teenagers chatting happily as they walked down the streets of Tokyo.
"Anyway, I heard the Higurashi girl turned Hojo down again. Turns out, she's still single" Ningen idiot number 1 said.
Ningen idiot number 2 sighed, stretching his arms, "Ah, the things you learn in school."
Ningen idiot number 1 nodded, "The only reason I go."
Idiot number 2 laughed, "I think I'll try with Higurashi. The girl is hot." He said matter-of-factly.
Hiei acted without thinking. He grabbed the idiot by the collar with his unoccupied hand. "Ningen Idiot Number 2, what is this school you speak of?"
Oh! I applaud! Great job Hiei. The voice in his head said sarcastically.
"Freak." Ningen Idiot Number 1 said, unhanding himself while Hiei argued with himself.
"Dude man, let's get outta here!" Ningen Idiot Number 2 said, as the two boys hurried away, casting Hiei horrified looks.
Hiei stood there, debating whether or not he should go and kill both Ningen Idiots, 1 and 2 alike. Deciding that he'd much rather eat his sweet snow in peac-
You're just softening up. His subconscious teased.
Shut up.
You know what you have to do now… right?
What are you talking about?
He heard the voice sigh. To get closer to the ningen.
You mean go to school?
Huh, you're not as thick as I thought.
Hn. Hiei thought about it for a second. As much as he hated the thought, he was glad that his subconscious had come up with a smart idea for once.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I don't believe this, boy." The demon growled at him. "You still haven't killed her? Worst of all, she beat you." He looked upon his "son" in disgust.
Hiei glanced at him for a second before putting the final touch on his forms. He had almost forgotten about the wound on his chest, it had healed so quickly, he hadn't given it much thought.
"I find it wise to know more about her first." He said, dismissing the conversation. It was simple really, the fact that he had no former records with which he could apply for this "school" did faze his plan one bit. The human mind was easy to influence, getting in would be no problem.
Though he was still a bit skeptical of the ordeal, he found it an amusing task.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome Higurashi sighed heavily as she half dragged, half walked herself to school. All this time and she had absolutely no leads on this Hiei character. All she knew was what Koenma had told her, that he was a strong demon with an utter disrespect for humans.
That was just great information wasn't it? Honestly, as much as she respected the Prince of Spirit World, she couldn't help but think he acted a bit childish sometimes. But she cringed to think of what he looked like, probably some big, powerful, mighty being. With huge fangs and claws, and swords oh my!
"Oi! Kagome-chan!" Kagome turned ruefully at the voice. Yuka bounded up to her, smiling jovially.
"Hey Yuka." Kagome said, trying her best to sound joyful. However, when Yuka was acting like this, it could only mean one thing… she was trying to set her up yet again. Most likely with Hojo.
That freak. Kikyo said in her mind, referring once again back to the sage of Hoihou and Hojo.
"There's a new guy here! He's soooo kawaii!" Kagome could almost see the stars in her friend's eyes. Well, at least it wasn't about Hojo this time.
That freak. Kikyo repeated.
Kagome smiled inwardly. Be nice Kikyo.
"Every guy is kawaii to you, Yuka." Kagome sighed, walking into the building. She didn't catch any sight of the oh-so-very-kawaii-new-guy as she made her way to homeroom.
Yuka rolled her eyes. "Aw common Kag, give him a chance!"
"I don't know him!" Kagome said, growing rather annoyed.
It was then that the speakers went on. "Higurashi, come to my office… now." Their ever polite principal's voice boomed.
Manners… Kikyo growled as Kagome stood up and made her way to the office as her teacher opened the door for her to start her trek.
Upon her arrival, she found her principal, Mr. Satoshi standing next to a boy in a black school uniform. His spiky hair matched his uniform and his eyes were crimson orbs, framed by strands of his hair. He wore a white headband on his forehead and a glare on his features.
"Ms. Higurashi, thank you for coming here. Hiei, this is Higurashi Kagome. She will be showing you around today."
This must be the new kid that Yuka was talking about… HIEI?!
You don't thinks its… Kikyo began.
I don't sense anything strange about him. Besides, Koenma said he hated humans, why would he come here?
Kikyo reluctantly agreed, You're right, and if it were him, he'd take the time to change his name…
Yea, Hiei's a common name. Ignoring the fact that it wasn't a common name at all, Kagome smiled at the boy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Damn that boy. He's having far too much fun with this." The demon growled. "that wench of a miko must die. She's been on my nerves far too long…" It was time to act for himself.
"I'll destroy you, young miko… again."
