Chappy 9: Talk between demons
The spirit detectives didn't stay at Genkai's place too long after Kagome's departure. They knew the old woman was keeping something from them, but she was very evasive, answering their questions so that Kagome sounded like a normal-perhaps even boring-high school girl. But that couldn't be true. All of them had felt her energy before (at the café place if no one remembers, or if I forgot to put it). Yet she still refused to answer straightforward, and not even Hiei with his jagan eye could enter her mind; the barriers protecting it were too strong.
In the end, they all left with a few words of goodbye, and Kuwabara with hearts in his eyes, promising his 'true love, Yukina' that 'her knight in shining armor would return to her soon.' It took all of Hiei's self-control to not rip him apart painfully; piece by piece and let ravenous wolf demons devour his flesh. Not too surprisingly, this almost brought a smile to his face, just like all the other times he thought up new ways to torment Kuwabara for being within shouting distance of his little sister. Although, he didn't plan this one out as well, or as gruesomely, as he would have liked. He was distracted by what Kagome had muttered after reaching the outdoors.
"So what should we do now, guys?" asked everyone's favorite baka as the spirit detectives made their way down the sidewalk.
"The old hag isn't going to tell us anything, so there isn't that much to do."
"Perhaps we should all go home and get a restful night's sleep," suggested Kurama. "Things may be clearer in the morning. Besides, it's a school night."
"School shmool," Yusuke muttered under his breath. "Who needs it? Well, if that's the case, here's my stop." Yusuke opened the door to his home and immediately smelled the alcohol in the air and his mom in front of the TV. He sighed and turned back to wave his friends goodbye.
A verbal fight between Hiei and Kuwabara later (Hiei won of course), Kuwabara left them for his house, with Shizuru pulling him by the ear all the way for being late.
This left the two demons to talk about this Kagome girl privately; neither felt like involving the two ningens right away, especially not the baka. By silent agreement they headed to the park to laze about in some trees, where their conversation wouldn't be overheard. Besides that, they both just liked trees; that was where Youko's powers lay and Hiei, well, let's just say he liked trees for the heck of it.
"Tell me, Hiei. When you were following Kagome to her home the first day we encountered her, do you remember any strange energies coming from her home? Perhaps that well she was talking about?"
"Hn. What I'm more concerned about, fox, is why she's going around with someone whose name means (female) dog demon."
"Yes, I suppose you're quite right about that. Not too many people named Inuyasha are around these days, eh?" On the branches of their respective trees they stood in silence for a few moments longer. "This is quite a puzzle we have here, isn't it Hiei? A girl, whom we come across while she's apparently following someone, shows an unlimited amount of power one second, masks it the next, but somehow hasn't been able to sense us, or at least I don't think so. She's Genkai's granddaughter, and has just been transferred to our school, not because of grades, but because of absences; apparently she was known as the 'Sick Girl' from her other school, from what I picked up from Keiko. Then of course is this Inuyasha character and the well with a shrine built around it. We have our work cut out for us."
They stood there for a while longer, neither saying a word. Companionable silence. But human bodies must rest sooner or later, to Youko's dismay, so Kurama bid Hiei farewell before leaping from branch to branch back to his own home. Hiei returned to Genkai's temple to watch over his little sister while she slept. He was determined for her to be safe, to have the peaceful life that he never could claim for his own.
************* AN: hi minna! Well, I'm finally back. I hope this lived up to you guys' expectations. Don't worry about this chappy being short, my next chappy is, like, 3 ½ pages long, and I'll post it Friday, I think.
Kagome11492: I hope u got my email. If not, I can send another one.
Everyone else, thanx for understanding. I hate the kind of writer that always leaves A/N and such, but now I'm turning into one. T-T
