"Kaede, will you please take care of Shippou while I'm gone?" Kagome asked the aged Miko. Kaede smiled sweetly at the teenage girl.
"Of course I will, child. Please take care and be mindful of the herbs." Kaede advised. Kagome nodded before exiting her hut, leaving the young kitsune behind.
"Why are you leaving Shippou here, Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"It's gonna be dangerous, I really don't want him getting hurt." Kagome explained.
"We should get going." Sango stated. Kagome and the rest nodded before leaving Kaede's village.
"Why don't you guys meet me by the well, I'm gonna go check on something real quick." Kagome said.
"I'll go with you." Hiei said, surprising the group. He'd been doing a lot of that lately when it came to Kagome. She nodded and the two groups headed their separate ways.
"Where are we going?" Hiei asked.
"I want to go to the God tree. I'm supposed to meet someone there." she explained. They approached the God tree and three figures were standing near Inuyasha's grave.
"Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome greeted. The white haired demon nodded at her and his gaze turned to the shorter fire apparition at her side.
"This is Hiei. Hiei this is Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken." Kagome explained.
"So, where is the Tetsusiga?" the demon lord asked. Kagome reached inside of a nearby tree trunk and retrieved the rusty sword. She threw it to Sesshomaru who caught it with ease.
"Do you really think Naraku will believe me?" he asked as he ran his hand along the dull edge of the sword.
"We can only hope. Just find out where his castle is and meet us in the next village." she replied.
"You never explained to me how my brother perished." he observed.
"Kikyo killed him." she said coldly, hate obvious in her voice.
"Should a priestess really show much hate for one person?" Jaken asked. Hiei glared at him.
"She can if that person is as evil as that undead bitch." he said. Kagome ignored him.
"I'm sorry, but we need to get going. Our friends are waiting for us." Kagome explained before she turned around and Hiei followed her back to the well.
"She seems strangely close to that demon so soon after Inuyasha just died." Sesshomaru observed.
"Yes, he does seem highly protective of her. I wonder what's going on." Jaken stated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright, we're ready." Kagome said when she approached her friends. She then looked around, her face somewhat disappointed.
"Where'd Kouga go?" she asked.
"Yusuke ran him off early this morning when he tried to sneak into your bed with you." Sango explained, her voice full of disgust.
"WHAT?!" Kagome screamed.
"Yeah, talk about perverted." Miroku said with a scoff. Sango and Yusuke stared at him, unbelieving.
"Perhaps we should be going. If we leave now, we might get to the next village within a few days." Kurama said.
"Are we walking?" Kuwabara asked stupidly.
"Can you fly?" Yusuke said sarcastically.
"I've tried, but it won't work." he said sadly, scuffing the dirt with the sole of his shoe. No one was believing what they were hearing. Kagome decided to break the silence.
"Yeah . . . Um, let's go." Kagome said, beginning to walk away from the well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Isn't it strange how we haven't encountered any demons for a while?" Sango speculated as she threw down her things to set up camp.
"Yeah, I'm gonna take a walk." Kagome said, grabbing her bow and arrows.
"You want me to go with you?" Sango asked. Kagome smiled and shook her head.
"I'll be fine, just kinda need some alone time, ya know?" she explained. Sango nodded in understanding.
"I'll try to keep things under control here." the demon exterminator assured her.
Kagome thanked her before walking deep into the forest. She stopped when she came to a glittering lake, surrounded by trees.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Perfect." she muttered. She pulled an arrow out from the pack around her back and shot at a tree, immediately obliterating it. Since Inuyasha had died, which had occurred about a week before, she had gone out training every night, usually when her friends were asleep, but she was more tired than usual this time so she decided to do it before she had lost her strength completely.
"So, this is what you've been doing every night." Hiei stated from a few feet away.
"Yep. I figured you were asleep." Kagome said, destroying another tree.
"Oh, and I thought you were a tree hugger." he said with a chuckle. She put her bow down and took a seat on the ground, staring deeply into the depths of the lake.
"Nope, not really. You kinda get tired of them here. There's so many." she explained. He sighed and Kagome knew he was about to change the subject. You begin to notice little things when you're around someone for so long.
"And who was that demon we met with today?" the fire apparition asked, taking a seat next to her.
"Inuyasha's brother. He's been after the Tetsusiga ever since I got here." she stated. "He and Naraku know each other, I asked him to find his castle for me in exchange of the Tetsusiga."
"Pretty smart for a ningen." he observed. Kagome shot him a hurt look before proceeding to play with her shoe lace, as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. In these times, in very well could've been.
Suddenly, neither had anything else to say, and were completely speechless for a few moments.
"Do you think . . . that I compare to Kikyo?" she asked. Her question made Hiei speechless, afraid to say the wrong thing to the sensitive Miko.
"I don't think that Kikyo compares to you. She's an ungrateful bitch with a horrible smell." he replied, earning a giggle from Kagome. "You, on the other hand, are generous and smell pretty damn good for a human."
'Oh, what the hell did I just say?!' he scolded himself. 'She probably thinks I'm a moron now . . . why should I care what she thinks of me anyway?!'
"Thanks . . . you're really nice when the other guys aren't around." she said, twiddling her thumbs, and blushing furiously.
'God, she's beautiful . . .' Hiei thought to himself, observing how the moonlight perfectly showed her face and made her eyes glitter. Before he knew it, he was going in for a kiss.
'Holy hell, he's gonna kiss me! At least I know he doesn't think I'm someone else . . . Should I kiss him back? Of course I should! I like him, I'm sure everyone knows that by now!' she thought to herself.
When Hiei's lips touched with hers, Kagome had to kiss back, the fire apparitions lips were warm and soft, much softer than she had expected.
"What the hell is going on?!" Yusuke screamed, causing Kagome and Hiei to break apart immediately and turn to her infuriated cousin.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" Kagome stuttered, who couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt wash over her.
"Both of you guys left at practically the same time, it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together." he said.
"Oh no! Is that the wolf that I sense?" Hiei lied, but Yusuke didn't catch it.
"Where?!" he screamed, still not forgiving him for earlier this morning.
"Back at camp! Hurry, Yusuke, hurry!" Kagome shrieked, deciding to play along.. Yusuke ran back towards camp and Kagome couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"That was hilarious." she said in between her giggles.
"Now. . . where were we?" Hiei said with a smirk, pulling her closer to him.
