'Thoughts'
"Talking"
/Telepathy/
Celestial Star6: Silly moments
are fine by me as long as you liked how I portrayed your OC. It's
great that you like the story so much...and bribery (especially for
reviews is great) is a very good incentive.
deadly thorn: Hehehe...I don't get it.
Kariisme: Please read this chapter as it answers all of your questions.
shadowed fry: This is a response I very much appreciated and I'm very glad you like the story.
blackrosebunny451: Thank you so much.
silverblood001: I know how you really spell Kuwabara...I just prefer to call him an idiot every time because it saves me having to have one of the other characters call him one when there are more important things to say. I'm sorry if the way I spelled it offended you though.
Eowyn – Shieldmaiden of Rohan: Heh...I took your advice and took my time, though I think I might have taken a little to much time to get this chapter out.
Sam: Thanks for the review.
madin-of-tv: Let me put this kindly...I don't care. I think that is kind enough considering if I wrote the section your 'friend' wanted I would be kicked off the site.
SlplessWitch951: I know the states isn't that bad...if you have a computer with internet access but alas I didn't so it wasn't enjoyable as I wanted the trip to be.
phinixofthezodiac: I'm glad you liked my story...even though there are much better written fanfics out there.
Katsuri: Thank you so much for your review.
silverkitsunekagome: Um...thanks for the permission to continue my story.
blazingsunstar: Thank you for another review...you've pretty much reviewed for my whole story I really appreciated that.
Mystical Star: Yep you did write a kind review...and yeah Hiei/Kagome is a good couple with potential...too bad those series can't crossover on t.v. I would so enjoy the fights between Hiei and InuYasha.
Chapter Eight:
Poison
Kagome's POV
When I woke up I was disoriented because I was in a cave, nude, and had a head on my chest. Slowly I remembered everything from the night before and I shifted to get into a more comfortable position only to by stopped by a low growl.
Sighing I stopped moving and began to stroke Hiei's hair, I watched as it flowed through my fingers so smoothly it seemed to be black water. To my pleasure Hiei began to purr from my treatment, it vibrated against my chest causing me to laugh softly, until Hiei tightened his grip around my waist and I had a bit of trouble breathing.
/Little Miko where are you? You're missing the party./
/What the...How did you became telepathic?/
/Where are you?/
/Go to Hell./
/Miko, do you know how many people you are condemning to Hell right now?/
/What do you mean?/
/Come to the Stadium and find out./
I shoved Naraku out of my mind cursing myself mentally; I gently and slowly moved Hiei from his position on top of me. When he was off me I looked at him sadly and leaned down to kiss him gently on the lips. When I stood up I looked for my clothes and was disappointed to find my shirt in ruins.
'Hiei...I'll have to talk to him about that.'
I looked around and found my sash still intact and my pants were salvageable and only had a couple of tears in it. I tied my sash around my breasts as an impromptu shirt and slipped on my pants with a little difficulty since I was slightly sore.
I touched my neck as I looked at Hiei and winced as my fingers brushed the mating mark he left there. I pulled my fingers away and looked at them for a moment before rubbing my neck clean of the dry, crumbling blood there.
'Hiei...if I can't tell you this in the future I'll tell it to you when you are asleep...I love you.' As I left the cave I chanced a look and Hiei and had to resist the urge to lie back down with him. To forget my duties to the people Naraku was torturing and just curl up next to my mate.
I forced myself to keep going and when the cold air hit me, my mind cleared and I was ready...ready to face Naraku once again and this time I would make sure he stayed died.
When I arrived at the hotel, I bypassed all of the rooms not stopping till I arrived at the stadium. I wasn't ready for the sight in the stadium thousands of youkai lie dead or dying from miasma I was sure Naraku had dispensed around the stadium to kill off everyone.
"Ahh...Miko you've arrived. How do you like the party?" Naraku said smirking at me, "It isn't as lively as I though it would be...at least until now."
"How dare you?" I growled, "It was horrible when you did this during the feudal era when beings killing beings was common...now it is just twisted."
"I would be careful what you say wench...I can control the dead."
"A necromancer...that art died a millennia ago." I whispered, not thinking too much into it. "You're point is?" His lips curled into dark smile that gave me a foreboding feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"How would you like to meet a few old friends...maybe if the demon hunter were here you'd be in a better mood or perhaps you'd prefer the monk?"
'He wouldn't dare do that!'
"Leave the dead out of this...they deserve peace; they've earned it." I shouted to Naraku my anger taking hold of my actions.
"Then give me the Shikon no Tama."
"No."
"Then you have forced my hand...though not into a direction I wasn't ready to take." He waved his hand at the direction of the other entrance as I watched dust whirled into the air and when it cleared to familiar figures stood there.
'Sango...Miroku...I can't take this.' I glared at Naraku and wished he would turn into ash from just the sheer intensity of my glare.
"NARAKU! FIGHT ME WITHOUT USING ANYONE ELSE!" Okay I admit it I was pissed, he was using the people I viewed as family against.
"Because then I wouldn't get to see the pain on your face as you have to destroy them to get to me." He said laughing insanely.
"You have pushed me too far Naraku." I said lowly.
I concentrated as I dropped my barrier around my powers and the burning sensation that accompanied the shift I welcomed as it signified Naraku's impending doom. I screamed in pain as golden wings erupted from my back with a fountain of blood. When the pain subsided, I tested out my wings experimentally flapped my wings until I was in the air.
I cursed mentally as I dodged the phony Miroku and Sango's attacks in futile as Naraku joined in the fray. The three against one odds were killing me because I wouldn't watch one of them and that one would attack me.
Soon I was being pounded into the ground; I touched my lip wiping the blood away and began chanting as a barrier encased me. When the barrier was in place I called upon another spell...this one to call of the people who have deemed themselves allies through action or word.
'Please...let them get here in time.'
Hiei's POVI woke up to find myself alone in the cave. Using my Jagan eye to see if I was truly alone, I came up with one other entity in the area, one I knew and didn't need to worry if the person was out to attack me...Shippo.
Though as the child approached I noticed his aura wasn't the same as it usually was...it was different...more powerful and calm.
A winged being rushed into the sub-division of the cave, he took one of my unclothed-state and spun on his heel until he faced the way he entered.
"Tou-san would please get some clothes on?"
"Shippo...?"
"Hai." He turned as I finished dressing finding my clothes in a...battered condition.
'I'll have to talk to Kagome about that...'
"How did...happen that?" I gestured to his wings with a confused hand motion.
"Oh...um...lets see." He looked embarrassed. "I'll tell you after we save kaa-san!"
"NANI? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MATE?" I screamed fear and worry clouding my mind.
"She went to fight Naraku."
"Let us leave." My tone was harsh; my mind was far from calm.
'How dare she do this. She should have consulted me. Kagome...why?'
Mystery Person's POV"Kagome." I whispered in shock and turned to my disgruntled mate.
"We must go...you felt her call, correct?" My mate's copper eyes narrowed before she looked at me like I was an imbecile.
"Of course I felt it. So move it or lose it, you over-grown mutt!" Flicking her braided hair over her hair over her shoulder, she stood up changed her clothes into her travel outfit. The very same outfit I met her in: a royal blue traveling kimono.
"Move it ya, mutt" I growled at her, I may love the half youkai/fairy woman...but at times I wished she would get an attitude adjustment. (Thank you Murasuki Hitomi {I think you changed your name before I posted this} for the female character. She isn't exactly how you posted...but close.)
'Be safe little sister; just wait for us to get to you...please Kagome.'
Author's POVBack at the stadium things were not going well; Kagome's barrier was starting to weaken and she was had to face the reality, that she might have to destroy her friends...reanimated or not.
"Kagome!"
"Kaa-san." Kagome turned to see Hiei, Shippo, and the rest of the gang as they ran towards her...before they were stopped by a giant boomerang.
'Dead friend or no...NO ONE ATTACKS MY FAMILY!'
Kagome dropped the barrier and sent a wave of purifying energy toward the dead Miroku and said a silent prayer that his spirit be returned to its owner or allowed back into Nirvana (Is that how you spell it? If it is wrong please inform me?) if that happened to be the case.
As the energy rounded on Sango, Kagome felt my heart break as she repeated the prayer for her sister like companion.
When both of her two obstacles were destroyed, a thousand more appeared looking very happy to destroy everything in their path...starting with us.
"Naraku still so weak that you need to be protected by a horde of youkai?" Kagome shouted towards the moody hanyou.
"Remember what happened last time you angered me, miko? Who do you wish to die this time...you son...you mate...which one?" Naraku smiled as he pointed towards each of them in turn.
"Touch them and I'll kill you so slowly that you will forget what mercy is!" She yelled, her general serene aura destroyed with her anger.
"Tsk tsk tsk. They are fair game in our little...game."
"Heh...he," Kagome chuckled darkly, "So this is just a game with you? You think you hold all the cards...I have a question...do you have that can beat a Royal Flush?" She pointed behind him.
Naraku narrowed his eyes as he turned his back to her...only to see Sesshoumaru and his mate, Suji.
"And don't forget my trump card...I shouldn't show it yet...but I can't stand it." Kagome whispered her voice carrying over the silent stadium, though it sounded off like it wasn't completely hers.
Kagome's POVI raised my hands in the air and felt the temperature rise, as I words flowed into my mind I repeated them. The temperature became centralized at my breast and became solid...it became the Shikon no Tama.
"How?"
"You b, you will give me the Shikon!" I ignored Naraku as I was focused on the voice in my mind. (I promise Kagome isn't crazy...)
"Suji do me a favor...protect them." I shouted to her as a plan popped into my hand as I now the Shikon in my hand.
"Whatever!" She shouted back yanking Sesshoumaru with her. They made a cute couple...even though they both had attitude issue and had a tendency to get very violet.
"You there?"
"Just get on with your plan, damn it!" She shouted back, obvious that she was annoyed at not being able to do something more physical...and leaning towards the violent side.
/Shikon...can you hear me?/
/What do you wish?/
I didn't think and answered right away, /I wish for you to bind Naraku in hell for all of time and then some for his crimes against humanity./
I was blown back by the intensity of the power surge from the Shikon no Tama and nearly lost conscious as it hit me full blast.
As I flew threw the air, I heard Naraku scream, and the memories of the last battle hit me...I had forgotten what had happened after the battle...what I did at the end of the battle.
FlashbackAs I slowly came to I noticed a field of tall grasses, wild flowers, and small weeds surrounded me. I tried to roll unto my back but was stopped by a set of golden wings.
"What in Kami-sama happened?"
/You made a wish...to be a guardian...forever...you will watch over the world...you will be the one to guard the purity of people./
"Impossible. I could not have wished that...I wouldn't be able to survive the decisions that come with that..."
/You will...we see a great future for you...but no need for that now...sleep...forget./
I felt sleep creeping along the edges of my mind as softly and as softly as the fog.
"What...do...you...mean?" My voice lost its audibility in the middle of the sentence but I lipped the rest before I lost conscious. As I fell into the dark abyss of the world of dreams I swore I heard them whisper something.
/You don't need to worry about that...little goddess...not yet.../
End of Flashback
I used my power stopping my flight into the wall that would surely lead to my death if I hit them as my current path entailed.
I flapped my wings to remain air born and flew over to my family and...my friends.
"Girl...you have to explain and quickly before my temper is in charge...WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE? AND WHY DOES ONE OF THEM SMELL LIKE YOU?" Suji screamed at me.
"Uh...allies and his my mate." I answered cowering away from her...technically I was cowering behind Hiei.
"Don't yell at my mate..." Hiei growled at Suji before turning around and glaring at me, "That is my right only."
I winced.
"HOW DARE YOU RUN OFF WITH OUT TELLING ME! OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY BAKA THAT COULD...mumph." He never finished his rant as I grabbed him and kissed him to shut him up...not that I didn't enjoy it anyway.
"Imouto that is quite enough!" Everyone jumped as Sesshoumaru voice rose above his normally placid tone. Boton fell to her knees as she saw who he was. I looked at her in aspiration at her.
"Get up Boton. Sesshou-niisan won't care if you don't show respect."
"How can you talk about the King of the Makai like that? Have you no respect?" She shouted back.
"It's easy...I know more secrets about him than anyone in any of the worlds. And about respect...I respect him just only when he deserves it, otherwise nay I don't."
"Curse my luck for being in the company of disrespectful onnas." Sesshoumaru muttered and he was promptly hit on the back of his head by his mate, who was scowling at him like there was no tomorrow.
I felt a light tug on my pants and looked down at Shippo.
"Hai?"
"Kaasan may we go home yet?" I looked at Boton and she nodded, after all the Dark Tournament was probably ours by default.
"Yeah...we can." I grabbed him as I placed the illusion that made us look human back on. I looked towards Hiei before grabbing his hand and gently pulling him along until his stride match my own.
"Okaa-san this is going to be so cool. I can't wait to see the look on Grandma, Great-father, and Uncle's faces when they hear you got mated." Shippo spoke excitedly as he jumped at of my arms and ran ahead to our room to pack.
Hiei and I stopped dead in our tracks.
We turned are heads simultaneously and looked into each other's eyes.
We both saw the same thought pass through...at the same time.
'Oh no.'
Fin
A/N: Okay...truthfully this isn't anything like the ending I had planned but I think you would've enjoyed my first idea a lot less if you didn't like this ending. Also I kind of...left this open for a sequel where Hiei meets her family.
So if you want a humorous short fic about Hiei meeting the Higurashi clan tell me and I'll write it as soon as possible.
Also if you liked this story I recommend you read the trilogy Scottish Fae has written. Scottish Fae is a very good author and I highly enjoyed their style of writing and I believe you will.
I thank all of my reviewers for reviewing and staying with me and not getting angry about my erratic updates. It was very kind of you all.
