Chapter 3: Explanations
"LET GO OF MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, struggling from Hiei's strong grasp around her waist.
"Vixen," Hiei retorted, "Do you REALLY want me to let you down?"
"YES!!!!" Kagome hollered back, smirking at how he winced every time she screamed in his ear.
"Okay then." Hiei said, grinning widely on the inside, outside, his face staying stoic and calm.
Kagome smirked arrogantly in triumph, but seconds later, when she was falling from high up in the sky, it disappeared.
Immediately, she looked down fearfully at the water below.
It was coming closer,
Closer,
…clooooooooseeeeeeeeeeer…
*SPLASH!!!*
************************************************************
A couple of minutes later, no Kagome.
Hiei was getting worried, he, for some reason, felt strangely attracted to this vixen and wanted to learn more about her.
And what does he do?
He kills her!
(AN- Ohhhh!!! Hiei has a crush!!!! This is for everyone who voted for Hiei since he is winning. Whoever wants Kurama to win had better vote quickly! ^_^)
Gracefully, he jumped down from the tall tree he was sitting on.
He warily walked around the rim of the deep, large lake he threw Kagome in. Scanning the entire lake worriedly, Hiei never heard the faint dripping of water behind him.
He didn't even notice anyone was behind him until silky, smooth pale arms
encircled his neck from behind.
Falling into the water with a startled yelp, Hiei whipped around to see who had dragged him under.
Kagome's beautiful face stared back at him, smiling in victory and satisfaction.
Hiei let out a sigh of relief that Kagome was ok.
Exiting the water, Hiei looked at Kagome with an emotionless face that soon changed to a bright red, embarrassed one.
With her soaking wet clothes sticking to her skin, the sight left no room for Hiei's imagination.
Kagome looked at him, confused.
'What is he all embarrassed about…?' she followed his gaze to herself and froze…
Soon, her face turned as red as Inuyasha's fire rat kimono.
Before she had a chance to scream out of humility, Hiei's arm found its way around her waist, this time much more gently.
She looked up at him and an unknown emotion was flickering in his eyes.
Before she had time to ask if he was feeling ok, he sped off again.

Kurama's POV
I ran back to Botan's portal alone, feeling a strange emotion that I have never felt before…is it………….
Jealousy????
About what?
Kagome and Hiei???
I should be happy that Hiei is in love with someone.
#That just happens to be someone that you and I love?!?!?#
'Be quiet, Youko.'
#You know I'm right. This woman is a beautiful demon and if you don't take her soon, I will.#
'I cannot just take her! She must want me as well!'
#Then use our charm on her. It works every time…#
'Maybe…'
I was taken out of my thoughts when I sensed the presence of Botan's portal coming closer.
I ran a little bit farther and finally came to it.
Obviously Hiei and Kagome had already passed through here since Hiei is much faster than me, especially when I'm in human form.
I entered the portal and was greeted by Botan and 'Prince' Koenma.
They both looked stressed.
"Hello," I greeted cheerfully, "Where are Kagome and Hiei?"
"They haven't come." Botan answered worriedly.
"What do you mean?!?!?!" I almost shouted.
Botan looked at me with a surprised face, obviously because I never raise my voice even a bit, no matter what.
This is different.
This is Kagome.
"They haven't arrived yet," Koenma repeated, talking for the first time since I got here.
"But I saw Hiei leave!" I reasoned.
Just then, the door flew open.
It was Kuwabara and Yusuke.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yusuke's POV
The toddler called us into Spirit World randomly, and I was on a date with Keiko!!! She's gonna kill me!!!!!
But not before I kill that twerp!
I flung the door open, 'that should get their attention,' I thought, smirking inwardly.
When I stepped in, all eyes were on me.
Before I said anything, I got a good look at all of their faces.
They seemed worried for some reason, so I let this one slide.
"What did you want, toddler?" I asked arrogantly, happy that I got an angry reaction from Koenma.
"I told you not to call me that, Yusuke!" he shouted at me, his binky bouncing up and down as he talked.
"Well that's---"
But before I could answer back with a snide remark, Botan interrupted me.
"Yusuke!" she shouted, "Hieiwenttogogettheholderofthesacredjewelbuthestillisn'tbackyetandKuramahasalreadyreturnedandwedon'tknowwhattodo!!!!!!" she said in one breath.
(AN- She said, "Hiei went to go get the holder of the sacred jewel but he still isn't back yet and Kurama has already returned and we don't know what to do!!!!!!")
I looked at her with a blank face and that idiot 'Kuwabaka' had to butt in with his stupid voice.
"Uh…what did you say????"
Botan sighed and was about to repeat what she said when a portal randomly appeared in the middle of the room.
Hiei and some foxy chick stepped out.
I was surprised to see that he was holding her around the waist,
almost lovingly.
Once again, Kuwabara butted in, "Who is she?!?!?!? Will you go out with me!?!?!?!?!"
*BAM*
What happened after surprised me the most, Hiei AND Kurama hit Kuwabara on either side of his head, knocking him unconscious.
I walked up to the girl who looked a little wet.
"HEY!!! Who are you and why are you all wet?!" I asked rudely.
Faintly, I heard two inhuman growls behind me, obviously a warning from Kurama and Hiei.
"I'm Kagome, who are you???" she replied, tilting her head to the side cutely.
AW MAN!!! I said 'cutely'!!! I must be hanging around with Keiko too much.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Author's POV
"I was just going to explain everything, actually," Koenma said, trying to avoid any fights in his office. "Kagome is the protector of the sacred Shikon no Tama, which is wanted by demons all over the world. It has been shattered in the past, where Kagome has been traveling, and only ONE shard of it can increase a demon's power by 10 fold easily."
The groups eye's widened considerably with that bit of information being said. Kagome looked at Koenma suspiciously, "Who are you, how do you know about my life, and how do you know my name? Oh yeah, and how can you talk! You're just a baby!!!"
The group laughed at this, and Hiei just smirked.
"BABY?!?!?!?" Koenma shouted, "I'm not a baby!!!! I'm Koenma, prince of the Spirit World!!!! My father is King Yenma!!!!" (AN- Spelling???)
Kagome immediately apologized, bowing repeatedly.
After the group calmed down, Koenma continued with his explanations.
"You see," he said, "We sensed great power coming from the well at your house and watched it carefully for any signs of demon activity. We have decided to help you on your journey to retrieve the rest of the jewel shards.
Boys, this is your next mission."
Yusuke groaned.
Hiei and Kurama nodded.
Kuwabara jumped around, excited about getting to work with his 'Sweet Kagome.'
Kagome just smiled sweetly.
After Yusuke asking Kuwabara about Yukina, he stopped fawning over Kagome, much to her relief. She silently thanked Yusuke.
They all got packed up to leave for the Feudal Era.
When they were finished, Yusuke called, "Ready everyone?"
After getting a nod from everybody, he led them into the portal, leading to the Higurashi Shrine.
Kagome led them to the well house and they all looked down the well.
"This is it?" Yusuke asked skeptically.
"Yep." was Kagome's answer.
With a strange look from everyone, she handed them all a bright shard of the sacred jewel. After everyone had one, she called, "Follow me!" and leaped into the well.
Sparing confused and skeptical glances at each other, the Yu Yu Gang
followed her lead into the well.
Looking at the blue sea of light and power surrounded them with surprised faces, the gang was sent to the past in a flash.
Kagome was waiting for everyone to exit the well, informing them to climb the latter at the top. Soon, everyone had climbed out except for her and Hiei.
She looked at him strangely and he walked up to her, a blank expression on his handsome face.
Without a word, he lifted Kagome up bridal style and carried the surprised girl out of the well. (AN- Even though she is a demon, she isn't trained and doesn't know how to use her powers yet, so Hiei helped her out of the well. Don't worry, she will be trained soon! ^_^)
When they reached the top, they came face to face with a veeeeeeeeeeeery angry half demon. "Uh, oh…" Kagome murmured.
