Chapter 6

The bell rang signaling the beginning of class. The teacher walked in the room and began

roll call pausing on a particular name. "Higurashi Kagome?" he asked looking around the

room. No reply.

"Anyone seen Higurashi?" he asked looking around the classroom.

"She wasn't feeling well last night sir. She might be home sick." Kurama spoke up from

the back of the room.

The teacher nodded his head as he finished going through roll call.

The day went by with no new occurrences at all. The three friends Kurama, Yusuke and

Kuwabara (Hiei refused to be put into school surrounded by humans) ran into Alex once

that day to find her glaring at the silver haired man they had found with Kagome the

other day, who in return just ignored her.

'I don't trust him.' Kurama said to his friend who was in a tree not far from where they

were.

'Hn. He's hiding something.' Hiei agreed.

'Seems we'll have to keep our eyes on him.' he said as he turned his attention back to

Yusuke who was fighting Kuwabara once again rolling his eyes. This was absolutely

nothing new to him. It was most likely something very stupid anyway like it was all the

other times those two fought.

Hiei who had continued reading his thoughts agreed silently with Kurama on that. Those

two were always fighting about something very stupid.

He waited outside the school like he did everyday for them as the final bell rang when the

silver hair man walked out first. He walked past him without giving him a glance but it

seemed like time slowed down as he spoke in a smooth silky voice to him.

"Stay away from the girl. Even the innocent have deadly enemies and she is no

exception. My brother and her friends will help her."

Time seemed to go back to normal and when Hiei looked up the man was already far

from him. He narrowed his blood red eyes on the stranger. The message didn't make

much sense. He knew it had to do with Kagome but did she have enemies as this man

suggested? Why not tell them about it?

'Most people don't train to be such good fighters unless they have a reason.' he reasoned

with himself. 'Yet is her reason for learning to fight due to an enemy?' he stashed this

information away for later when he could talk to Kurama on his own. He wasn't going to

share it with the two other dimwits for awhile. For all he knew they would probably do

something stupid and they would never get answers out of her.

Two years of knowing her and not really knowing her was beginning to bug all the

members in the group. Even him. Yet he couldn't enter her mind because she had

barriers that were pretty dangerous. Did she put them up herself? Did Genkai do it for

her? To many questions and few to no answers were coming their way.

It didn't matter though. The only reason behind such strong barriers would have to be for

something that they didn't want others to find out about. He would have to find out what

it was she was hiding.

Just then the three came out and headed toward him. He looked back at them then started

to walk knowing already where they wanted to go. To the shrine where she lived.

'Fox I got some information earlier.'

'Where from?' Kurama asked curiously.

'That one we saw with Kagome yesterday.'

'What did he have to say?'

'Hn. Said to leave the girl alone. Even the innocent have deadly enemies and she is no

exception. My brother and her friends will help her.' he repeated.

'Exactly what kind of enemies though?' Kurama mused.

'Hn.' was his response. The link was cut as they reached the shrine. Glancing towards

each other they started to climb up the many steps to the top.

When they reached the top they were surprised at what they saw. All the people they met

yesterday were sparring against Kagome. She was on her own as she defended herself

and fought back.

"Hiraikotsu." the girl Sango yelled as she released a huge boomerang at Kagome. They

could see where she had picked up that weapon from.

Kagome seeing it jumped just in time as she pushed Miroku back with her sword landing

on top of the giant boomerang. She rode it back to the girl and as it moved over her she

flipped off it slashing at her friend with her sword. She crouched down and rolled herself

backwards as Inuyasha sent an attack at her.

She leapt to her feet quickly and spun around holding her sword in front of her as she

sliced an arrow in half that was shot at her by Kikyo. She then spun again quickly as

Miroku came at her again with his staff. She parried the blow and swung her right leg

into his side knocking the wind out of him and sent him tumbling.

Then she was on the ground with a rusty looking sword at her neck. Inuyasha had gotten

her. Suddenly she surprised them by tossing him over her and quickly scrambling up to

her feet she leapt to her right as a whip cracked at the spot where she once stood.

She threw her sword to the side as she grabbed the whip as the wielder of it pulled it

back. Wrapping it a couple times around her hand she gave a jerk pulling the girl Kirara

toward her. The surprised girl was thrown into a tree where she slumped down.

The boy Shippo started to throw a bunch of throwing stars at her. Kagome flipped,

jumped, dodged, ducked them as they came at her avoiding them. She smirked at him a

cold predatorial smile as she disappeared from her spot and suddenly appeared by him

and pinched at a point in the knock rendering him unconscious.

She turned to her other friends. "OK no more games. Time to get serious." she said to

them.

They nodded their heads and all jumped at her attacking her at the same time. Kagome

kicked, punched, blocked. Fighting without the use of weapons and within ten minutes

time her four friends were on the ground very tired and all weaponless.

A victorious Kagome stood before them holding all their weapons with her. A staff in her

right hand. A large boomerang hanging from off her back with a bow and some arrows

and a sword in her earlier empty sheath.

"Kag-chan you've gotten a lot better in these few months." Sango said panting on the

ground. "That was a good work out. You're probably more prepared for this battle then

us. I never thought we had gotten that out of shape." she said with a small laugh.

"Why thank you. I take that as a compliment from one of my many teachers." Kagome

replied as she helped her friends up and handed them back their weapons. "Sorry if I

went rough on you guys but I haven't had a good spar in awhile ya know." she said as she

knelt by Shippo and Kirara. "Baby you gotta wake up now." she said as she shook Shippo

a bit to waken him.

"Ow." was all he said as he looked up at her.

"I wooped you good boy. You have to learn to control your temper. I hurt Kirara and you

lost your concentration. What if that happens in the battle? You can't do that." she said in

a motherly tone as he nodded slowly then turned to waken his wife.

"Ok you guys. I'm tired now. How about we take a nap and try again?" Kagome

suggested as she stood up stretching with a big yawn.

"Kag-chan we've done this six times already. I really don't think we're any match for you

and whatever the hell kind of training you've gone through since you returned here a

couple of months ago." Kikyo said with a small laugh.

Kagome pouted. "Do you guys all think like that?" she asked.

They all nodded their heads warily. "Kagome you're a tough little..."

"I get the point." she said cutting off Inuyasha. "Hmm grandma was right. You've grown

weak through all these years Inuyasha." she said taunting.

He growled. "I'll show you weak." he said as he stood up and pulled out his sword. He

was gonna swing it down when Kagome put her arm out in front of her and he said

something to her that none of them could make out.

Inuyasha growled but put the sword away. "A rest is in order for all of us." Kikyo said as

she walked up to her husband and led him away to the house.

"When do we head out Kag-chan?" Sango asked her friend.

"I have to let mom know of the circumstances so she doesn't have to worry like she used

to always do when I went away with you guys and then we'll head out." she replied.

"Ok. Night Kagome. You have no idea how good it is to see you again after so long." she

said as she walked off with Miroku, Shippo and Kirara behind her.

"Same here." she murmured as they walked out of sight. "You guys can come out now."

she called looking in their direction.

Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama stepped out a bit guiltily but Hiei just looked at her

without any worries. She chuckled a bit. "Did you enjoy the show?" she asked as she

began to pick up different small weapons from the ground.

"How did you know we were there?" Yusuke asked.

"Actually Inuyasha told me," she said as she bent down to pick up some small canisters

and several gas masks. "when he pinned me to the ground."

"What's that stuff?" Kuwabara asked pointing to the stuff in her arms.

"Oh yea those canisters carried different poisons that we were testing." she said with a

small smile as she walked over to a pretty full garbage bag tossing the stuff in.

"What?" Yusuke shouted.

She just chuckled. "Don't worry actually it was canisters that when thrown to the ground

release clouds of smoke. We were using them during our sparring to make it more

interesting."

"How long have you known them?" Yusuke asked.

"You mean the gang? I've known them three years. Since I turned 15. Come to think of it

I met you guys half a year after I met them. How weird." she said smiling cheerfully at

them. "So how can I help you guys?" she asked as she plopped on the ground without any

grace.

"You say you haven't seem them in months yet when you were talking to that silver

haired punk you said it's been years. What's with that?" Yusuke said.

"Oh did I? My mistake. It's only been a couple months." she said. 'Liar, liar pants on

fire.' a voice in her head said. Oh shut up. she growled back at it.

"Mind calling the silver haired punk by his name? It's Inuyasha." she said to him still

smiling at him but you could hear a hint of steel in her voice as she said that.

"Why dog demon?" Kuwabara asked.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "Couldn't tell you. From what I remember him telling

me about his family was they were really into old legends and stuff like that and named

him after someone." she replied with another shrug of the shoulders. 'Your nose is as

long as....' Shut up I said. she said darkly to the annoying voice.

"Hn."

"Got something to ask Hiei?" she asked him turning her cheerful smile onto him.

Hiei almost felt himself blush but pushed it aside and Kurama growled in jealousy so

quietly it was practically unheard . As if sensing his jealousy she turned to him casting

him her huge smile.

"You ok Kurama?" she asked looking at him carefully.

"Never better." he replied.

"Good." she said nodding her head at him.

"What battle was Sango talking about?" Kurama asked her suddenly curious.

"Battle?" she asked cocking her head to the side in a show of thoughtfulness. "I really

couldn't tell ya. You must have misheard is all." she got up and stretched very catlike.

"Look I'm tired and need rest. If you guys want to stay you know we still have the guest

room if you want to stay longer." she said as she nodded to them then stumbled sleepily

making her way towards the house.

Glancing at each other the four nodded their heads in agreement and followed not far

behind Kagome departing in her house as she walked upstairs to her room and they went

to the huge guestroom with four separate beds, a large couch and two separate chairs, as

well as a tv, a game system and radio.

This was their hangout usually after they returned from a mission. Ever since they met

Kagome they ended up coming to her place so much that Kagome's mom had taken it

upon herself to clear an unused room getting four beds for each of the boys and adding

other stuff as well in it for them so they could be comfortable instead of sleeping on the

couch or ground as they always did when they came over after a mission.

Actually the first time they had come over they had all fallen asleep in Kagome's room as

it had been very comfortable and something about being in her presence was very

soothing. So much so that they had fallen asleep in Kagome's room while they had been

talking about something, something that her mother didn't seem to really approve of

though she understood it after they explained the situation.

Yusuke plopped on his bed and looked around the room through sleep filled eyes and

smiled at the thought at all the things Kagome had done for them.

Kagome who was their friend and a huge mystery to them. Kagome who gave them a

place to rest peacefully and never asked questions. Kagome who was like family to them.

Except for in the case of two certain demons it would seem who looked to consider her

something more.

He yawned as he looked at the other three beds to see his other friends already on them

and either sleeping or just relaxing. He closed his eyes tiredly something bugging him.

"Kagome just what kind of trouble are you in?" he thought before he slipped into the

world of dreams.

Two certain demon were thinking about the same thing as they too slipped into a light

sleep.
