Chapter 5
Kagome was still skipping down the road with Kurama and Hiei before she came to a halt before a small house. "We're here and it seems they know too." she said grinning as she let them go stepping forward to intercept three small blurs that threw themselves at her.
With a small oof she stumbled backwards cradling the three blurs that happened to be three small kids. "Hello Miyu, Eri, Kat." she said cheerfully. "Your mother wouldn't happen to be home would she?" she asked.
"Hello Kag-chan." a soft voice said.
Kagome looked to the doorway to see a beautiful young woman with long flowing blonde hair and cheerful baby blue eyes. "Hello Kirara. It's so good to see you. I have missed you." she said with tears in her eyes as she set the children down before her.
The woman known as Kirara rushed to the girls side and they hugged. "I got your message last night that Miyu was sick so I used that as an excuse to come over and see you. It's been so long since I last saw you. I've only seen Shippo since that little incident."
Kirara nodded slowly. "We truly missed you when you did not return to us. Especially Sess."
"I saw him recently." Kagome said lowering her head.
"Did you?" Kirara asked surprised. "How did he react?"
"How do you think?" she asked in reply.
"You're not supposed to answer a question with another question Kagome. You know that."
Kagome chuckled a bit then reached into a pouch and pulled out a plastic bag. "Here's the medicine for the little bugger." she said.
"Is that the stuff Kaede taught you to make?" Kirara asked looking at her warily.
"You betcha. He'll be better in no time." she said with an evil grin.
Kirara cast a sorrowful glance at her child. "I feel sorry for you child."
The kid cast a surprised glance up at his mother. "Do I have to take it?"
"Yes you do." she replied.
He crossed his arms before him and began to mutter about evil parents and friends. "Kagome who are your friends?" Kirara asked looking at Kurama and Hiei with a guarded expression.
"Oh Kirara these are my friends. The tall dashing red head is Kurama, and the short grumpy one is Hiei." she said with a laugh. She ducked as Hiei threw a rock at her. "I was kidding Hiei." she said laughing as he threw another rock at her.
"Umm Kagome could I talk with you quick?""Sure Kirara. Be right back guys." she said dodging another rock being thrown at her from Hiei as she walked with Kirara into the house sticking her tongue out at him over her shoulder.
"Kagome do you know what they are?" she shouted at her once they reached a study room.
"Of course I know Kirara. Don't be so loud even the walls have ears." she said to her friend. "Besides they can most likely hear you. They have this thing about eavesdropping lately." she said with a chuckle.
"Kagome what have you gotten yourself into?" her friend growled at her.
"Come on I knew them when I was traveling with you guys."
"And are they not curious about why you'd disappear for long periods of time?""Of course they are curious. In fact they went to young Master Koenma to try and find out anything."
"They're Spirit Detectives?" Kirara shouted surprised.
"I thought that was what you were shouting at me about in the first place." Kagome said in a bored tone.
"No. I was shouting about them being demons. My god child since I last saw you five hundred years ago, you have not seemed to have changed much. You're still too trusting."
"My god Kirara. Do you think they've heard you yet?" she said to her friend.
"How long have you known them Kagome?"
"I think it has been two and a half years now."
"How have you been able to keep this a secret from this so long?"
"They trust me enough to wait and get the answers when I want to tell it to them. Well except Hiei. He tries to break into my mind but hits barriers. I think he thinks they are just up there naturally or something."
Kirara shook her head at her friend.
"What about you Kirara? I knew you and Shippo were friends but I never thought that good of friends." Kirara blushed. "Also when did you get a human form?"
"That happened a couple years after you left us Kagome." Kirara said.
Kagome shook her head in wonder. She had missed so much. She hadn't even gotten to see Shippo grow up, but he had seen her grow up. He had told her the first time she had run into him that he had been keeping watch on her since she had been born. Oh the irony. She had been older then him in the feaudal era but now he was much older then her yet he looked to be only a year or so older then her.
"I was just coming from grandma's place. She wants to see Shippo I know and I think she'd like to see you and the kids. She knew him when he was a kid because I brought him with me a couple of times and she had gotten really fond of him though she won't say it out loud."
Kirara nodded her head in understanding as she hugged her again. "I missed you old friend. So did Sango, and Miroku."
"I know they did. I'm meeting with their descendants tomorrow and Inuyasha and Kikyo. I got a letter from Inuyasha yesterday and we're gonna meet at the park. If you want to come I know Shippo won't be home yet but maybe if you'd like to join us you know...." Kagome said as she hugged the neko demon back.
Kirara smiled as she released her. "Of course I'd like to see Inuyasha and Kikyo again, and also my master and friends descendants."
Kagome nodded encouragingly to her friend and they walked back out to see Hiei and Kurama surrounded by three hyper children. "Come children. Aunty Kagome has to go but she'll be back soon." Kirara called to them. With a heavy sigh the three bounded over to her saying good-bye to Kagome as she promised to come and visit them again.
She walked away with Kurama and Hiei by her side as they headed toward her home when they ran into Yusuke and Kuwabara on the way. She smiled in greeting to them but said nothing as they walked back only listening to the four.
Kurama's POV
He glanced sideways at Kagome. She seemed subdued for some reason. Could it have been because of meeting with her old friend? It was a possibility of course, but if it was just a meeting with an old friend why did it seem there was more to that meeting then he knew.
He sighed a bit as he answered vaguely to something Yusuke asked him not really paying attention.
So lost in thought was he that he hadn't they had arrived at the shrine until he practically ran into the steps. Kagome laughed silently inquiring if he was all right. He nodded his head a bit distracted. There seemed to be four unfamiliar presences at the shrine and it seemed like Kagome sensed it as well because her eyes began to scan the surrounding area.
"You can come out now you guys." she said in a commanding tone.
Behind a bush stepped a young woman who looked amazingly like Kagome dressed in blue jeans and a plain blood red shirt with a man beside her with silver hair and golden eyes wearing a black t-shirt and baggy blue jeans. He looked amazingly like the guy they had seen Kagome with earlier at the park except he seemed a bit more laid back and not as cold as the other guy. Behind them stepped out two other people a man and a girl. The man was slightly tall wearing all black clothing, he had purple eyes and had short black hair tied in the back and the girl had brown shoulder length hair and warm chocolate eyes sporting a camouflage shirt that said 'Oh shit it's snowing' and baggy jnco jeans.
Also coming from the four was a strange energy that surrounded them.
Kagome while she seemed to recognize these people was surprised he noticed when he looked at her to try and figure out what was going on.
Hiei's POV
Hiei tensed when he felt the presence of the four holding back though when he noticed Kagome recognized these people.
"I thought it was tomorrow." she said a bit surprised.
"It was." the one who looked like Kagome said with a smile. "But we couldn't wait to see you any longer."
Kagome glanced at the silver haired man who crossed his arms before him and spoke. "Feh. Don't tell me you didn't miss us?"
She smiled. "Of course I did." she said as she launched herself at him tackling him to the ground.
Hiei couldn't help but feel a little twinge seeing this. Was this her boyfriend? What was this all about?
Kagome flipped herself to her feet then held a hand out to the fallen boy who just ignored it and stood up by himself. She only smiled as she looked to the other girl. "Kikyo your husband is still as infuriating as ever."
"Yes I know that. I live with him." the one called Kikyo said.
Hiei felt like a great weight had been taken from him. He wasn't her boyfriend. Good.
He watched as Kagome looked at the other two members in the group giving them a searching glance.
The man just grinned and the girl gave a small smile before she launched herself into the other girls arms taking Kagome by surprise. "You were so stupid." the girl cried against Kagome. "I don't care what they told you in that letter. I'm not playing along with it. Kag-chan. It's me Sango." she said desperately.
"S...San.....go." Kagome said as she hugged the crying girl trying to calm her down. Over the crying girls shoulder she looked at the man who seemed a bit sad now. "Miroku?"
"The one and only my lady Kagome." he said to her as he walked over to them trying to calm Sango down with her.
"You guys beat us here." a familiar voice said behind her.
Holding Sango close to her Kagome looked behind her to see Shippo and Kirara holding hands and smiling.
"Shippo? You guys was this a set up?" Kagome demanded as she tried to soothe the distraught Sango."
"Yea more or less." the silver haired boy admitted.
"Though we didn't think it'd hurt Sango this much." Kikyo added.
Kagome shook her head silently as her head looked down.
"Kagome?" the one called Shippo asked.
Kagome continued to look down. Hiei watched her carefully.
Was she ok?
He continued watching her as she hugged the other girl a bit tighter and whispered something in her ear that seemed to calm her down. The girl Sango nodded her head slightly to whatever it was Kagome had said to her and whispered something back to her in return. They continued in this manner for awhile before Sango said something once more to Kagome.
The change in Kagome was instantaneous. Her whole body became tense and her grip on the girl loosened.
Hiei was sure that if he could have seen her face it would have unbridled anger in it and if she were a dog her hackles would have been up. What had just happened here?
Authors P.O.V.
"Kikyo, Inuyasha I want you to take everyone but my sister here to the shrine. My mom should remember you still Inuyasha let her know I'll be there in a bit and go to my room. Wait there for me. I have something to take care of." she said almost tonelessly not even looking up the whole time.
The other girl seemed extremely alert as to what was going on and looked guiltily at her friend as she rested a hand on Kagome's shoulder only to have her shrug it off. Her face was that of one who had just been rejected and it hurt very badly.
Inuyasha looked carefully at her then turned to his wife with a questioning glance. Her glance wasn't at him though but at Kagome her expression revealing sadness and pity. "Come Inuyasha." she said turning to walk up the shrine steps with the others following close behind.
"Kagome?" Yusuke asked trying to figure out what was going on.
It was all so confusing. She had seemed so happy to see the four people and even more happy when she found out two people were exactly who she thought they were but then that discussion with the Sango girl had occurred and now it had all changed. It was hard to tell what she was feeling at the moment.
"Yes Yusuke?" she said.
"What's going on here?"
"You'll find out when the time comes. For now go home. I'll see you all at school tomorrow." she said in a dismissive way still not bothering to look up.
Yusuke and Hiei not one to take orders especially from a girl and about to demand an explanation stopped. Had they not been paying attention to her when she spoke they wouldn't have heard the sadness and pain in her voice.
"We'll see you tomorrow Kagome." Kurama said as he turned and walked away with the others behind him.
"That would be nice." she whispered quietly.
Once she thought they were out of hearing she lay her head down on her sisters shoulder and began to cry leaving it this time to Sango to try and comfort her.
Down the street a sad and angry cry was heard to four travelers as they made their way towards their homes.
