Chapter 4
Being such a lovely day Kagome decided to walk the rest of the way home instead of catching a crowded bus or train. Walking a long the street she took short cut through alleyways were less people traveled giving her some breathing space away from the hustle of the over crowded city.
When she was ten blocks from the shrine she sudden sensed a demon nearby realizing she was being followed. Slowing down when she realized the aura felt familiar.
Cutting down another deserted ally she dropped her pack and yelled.
"You can come out now Hiei. I know you have been following me."
Hiei jumped down from the building he had been on when she
called out to him and asked briskly. "How did you know I was following?I blocked my aura."
"Huh! That's the same thing Sesshoumaru said too." Kagome
replied with out thought.
"Who did you say?" Hiei asked Suspiciously he hadn't heard that name in a long time and if his memory served him right that was the name of one of the great lords of the western lands.
Kagome caught on to his suspicion quickly replied. "Oh no one really I was just mumbling." Trying to change the subject quickly she asked."Why is a demon as yourself hanging around my cousin?"
"So you know I am a demon?" Hiei stated
"Well yeah and Kurama too, but there something different about him it almost like he has two auras like a human
and demon. I would think he was a Hanyou, but even still they don't have two auras at the same time just during there transformation. So what exactly is he?"
"I think you should ask him that." Hiei replies.
"Ok fair enough, but you still haven't told me why two demons
are hanging around my cousin?" Kagome states
"That's another thing you should ask your cousin as I am not his keeper." Hiei replied with a snort.
"Fine then touchy aren't we, but I will ask myself." She yells a little ticked off at the demon and then says. "If your not going to answer any of my question I guess I will be leaving then." As Kagome turns to walk away a demon appears out of no where and attacked.
Surprised Kagome barley misses the sharp spikes it throws at her nearly slicing her arm open before it disappears.
Agitated enough after talking with Hiei Kagome Drops her pack off her shoulder and begins to scan the area trying to shift the other demon aura out as she shouts." I am to tired to
play your games if you want something show yourself."
"My, my the master did say you where a defiant and noisy one. I guess he was right." The demon replies as it moves out of the
shadows.
"So what is it you want?" Hiei demands.
"This has nothing to do with you demon I am here for the girl
and the jewel." the demon replies with a hiss.
Kagome rolls her eyes looking at the large snake like green demon think about how all demons excluding Shippo seemed to have a mis placed personality.
" What would a demon need with a puny human and a jewel." Hiei questions calmly.
"I am not weak." Kagome states in anger insulted that he would refer to her as a weak person.
Hiei snort and replies." All you humans are weak."
"You know you are a arrogant bastard." Kagome yells back.
"Well you are a whinny wench." Hiei states back as the two
argued and throw insults back and forth between each other as the snake demon watches on in amusement till he ran out of patients.
"That's enough. I want the jewel and the girl now! Make this
easy on yourself and come with me."
"Not on your life buddy." Kagome shout back "You can just tell your master whom ever he is I said if he wants me he has to come and get me himself." She stated crossing her arms over her chest in true Inuyasha style.
"Foolish girl Naraku does not waste time with fetching stupid humans."the demon laughed at her.
Kagome was stunned. How in seven hells did Naraku send somebody from the past to her the well never let anyone except Inuyasha and herself through it unless, but could it be possible she quickly thought as she turns and ask..
"Where are you from?" Kagome asked.
"I am from the demon realm foolish girl."The snake demon replies in a less then friendly tone.
"Huh demon world. What is that?" Kagome asked feeling as if she was missing something.
Hiei was a little surprised Kagome didn't know what the demon
world was if she knew about demon she had to have had some
idea what the demon world was ,but by the sound of here voice
and the scent she gave off she was obviously confused.
"Foolish girl I have not the time to answer your question if you
will not come willingly then prepare to fight."
"Hey just one more question." Kagome asked. "Why does he
want me and the jewel when he could of just had you kill me and then take it."
"Very well I will answer your question. He wants revenge on you
from all the trouble you caused him." The demon answered.
"Well then I guess he will have to come and get me if he can."
Kagome shouted throwing a ball of purifying energy at the
demon catching him off guard. When the blast of light vanished all that was left behind was the ashes of a demon laying on the alley side walk.
"Well that was easy." Kagome thought as she brushes off her hands then picked up her bag again turning to smile at Hiei noticing him staring at the ashes in amazement. "Well got to go. See you later."
He jumped out of his shock hearing her leave and said."Where do you think your going, wench?"
Kagome so used to being called names by Inuyasha just turned
around to Hiei and stated. "Home." and turned and walked away.
"No your not your going to tell me why that demon wanted you
and what was the jewel it wanted?" he yelled.
"No I am not and if you don't quit following me you'll end up
like him." She stated pointing to the ashes.
Hiei decided that maybe it was better to let her cool off before forcing answers out of her and said. "Fine but don't think this is Over." Then disappeared onto a building top.
Kagome sigh shook her head and once again headed home for a long awaited bath and some dinner not looking forward to her cousin soon to come questions as life wasn't already complicated enough as it was.
