Chapter 9
Note: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha.
A/N: Kinda disappointed, I don't think I got as many reviews as I would have liked last chapter. I thought it was alright . . . after this one, if I don't have at least 100 reviews (only need three for 100!!), I'm not updating until I do. The one-hundredth reviewer gets an imaginary cookie!! Woohoo!! All you gotta do is click the damn button at the bottom of the screen and type like five words! Is that so freakin' hard??
Also, I'd like to thank Kiryuu-500 for your kind words after that sob flame sob I got. Anyway, I would've flamed them but they were an anonymous reviewer. Crap. Oh well, thanks for the thought ()! (So I just deleted it . .)

"Kagome?" Kouga said, waving his clawed hand in front her face. She snapped back into reality and looked at the wolf demon.
"What were you staring at?" he asked, which was what everyone there wanted to know.
"There was a demon up there." she muttered, not sure if they would believe her or not.
"If there was a demon up there we would have sensed him." Hiei said as-a-matter-of-factly. Kagome glared at her fellow fire apparition and wondered why he was such a jerk sometimes.
"I believe we will take our leave." Sesshomaru stated as he stood up from the ground he was sitting on.
"You sure? You're free to travel with us." Kagome assured him. The demon lord of the western lands gave her a slight smile but shook his head.
"If you need help locating Naraku or my brother, I'll be happy to oblige. Thank you for your help." he said before he left, Rin and Jaken close behind.
"Good riddance." Kouga muttered.
"He saved my life, Kouga. Not to mention he helped us before that too." she snapped.
"Why are you so quick to that guy's defense?" Kouga asked somewhat angrily.
"I can kick his ass for you, Kagome." Yusuke mumbled to her. She shook her head and approached Kouga, hands on her hips. She sat strangely close to him and whispered something in his ear. His eyes widened in horror before he began nodding furiously, earning snickers and smirks from the majority of the group.
"What did you say to him?" Hiei whispered to her when she had come back to sit with him.
"You don't want to know." she replied with an uncharacteristic smirk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After all of them had about a six hour nap, they were packed up and ready to go again.
"Kagome? Can we go back to Kaede's village?" Sango asked suddenly.
"What? Why?" Yusuke asked.
"I've got an awful feeling." she explained, looking around nervously. Miroku nodded.
"I too sense a disaster happening near that area." the monk informed them.
"Okay. Shippou and Kaede are there after all." Kagome said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wooohooo! I can ride a bike! Nobody in this time knows what a bike is!" Kuwabara shouted with a scream that could wake the dead. He had always been fascinated with Kagome's bright pink bike. She smiled but it was immediately turned to a look of pure shock as she spotted Kaede's village.
"Oh my God!" Kagome screeched, running toward the village that had become a second home to all of them, which was now reduced to ash and rubble.
"Holy shit! What happened?" Yusuke yelled, looking around for survivors. Kagome's eyes watered when she didn't see any of the villagers, including Shippou and Kaede. She fell to her knees and sobbed until Kurama put his hand on her shoulder, earning a low growl from Hiei.
"The small fox demon is still alive and he is nearby." he assured her.
Keep your hands off her, fox. Hiei said telepathically. Kurama quickly removed his hand from her shoulder and continued to smile at her.
"There are humans as well, inside that forest." Kurama explained, pointing to the forest where the God tree is located.
Kagome stood up and raced into the forest, not bothering to look behind her and see if her friends were following her. All she cared about at the moment was finding Kaede and her adoptive kit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time the group had caught up with her, since her speed had increased greatly since she became a demon, Shippou was in her arms, she was squeezing him to death.
"Kagome, . . . can't . . . . breathe . . ." Shippou managed to say. Kagome loosened her grip and turned to Kaede, who was smiling at the sight.
"What happened to the village?" Kagome asked the aging miko. As she was about to answer, Shippou spoke up.
"Kagome? Why are you a demon?" he asked. Kagome had nearly forgotten. The transformation didn't seem much different from her human state. Kaede too looked curious about Kagome's change.
"Um." was all she said.
"You didn't . . ." Kaede stated, looking between her and Hiei. Kagome's and Hiei's jaw's flew to the ground.
"Old hags aren't supposed to think shit like that!" Kouga yelled at Kagome's defense. "Kagome is my mate after all."
Kagome sweatdropped.
"I was badly wounded and Hiei gave me some of his blood. It was the only way I would live. Now, you explain why the village is gone and most of the men are gone too." Kagome said.
"We were attacked." one of the women explained simply.
'Um, duh.' Kagome thought, but knew better than to say aloud.
"By demons?" Miroku asked. Kaede shook her head.
"A large group of human men. Their eyes were red. But they were being led by one demon with red eyes similar to theirs." Kaede explained.
"Was it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked quickly. Kaede shook her head.
"No, child. I had never seen this demon before. He appeared demon, but he had demon power resonating from him." she informed her.
"Like that?" Yusuke asked, pointing to a male figure in a tree. They all turned their heads to see a very good looking man on a branch of a tree. He appeared to be a teenager their age, but what Kagome sensed was much different than the power of any normal teenage boy. He had long dark hair to his shoulders and very distinct facial features.
"Hello, Kagome." his deep voice said. Kagome glared at the man, and Hiei and the others did as well. "It seems the hag and your kit told you of the attack on their village."
"Why did you attack them?" she asked angrily.
"It is no concern of yours." he stated, jumping down in front of her. Hiei immediately stood in front of her in a protective manner. Kagome put a hand on his shoulder and faced the man anyway.
"You killed many innocent villagers, the scent of their blood was all over the place. I think it concerns everyone here." Kagome stated.
"Who are you and how do you know Kagome?" Kurama asked.
"My name is Brake." he stated, before Yusuke and Kuwabara started snickering for some unknown reason.
"Is there something you find amusing?" Brake asked, annoyance evident in his voice.
"Like the car?" Yusuke said in between chuckles. Hiei then opened a mind link between Kurama.
These idiots are making things worse. Get Kagome's kit and the villagers out of this area. Hiei said.
What about Kagome? he asked back.
Worry about them, I'll worry about her. the fire apparition replied, slightly angry. Kurama had been too close to Kagome in his eyes. Brake didn't notice as Kurama led the villagers away from the area, all of them knowing what would take place.
"Is Hiei gonna die?" Shippou asked suddenly. Kurama rose his eyebrows in response.
"No. Why do you ask?" Kurama countered, surprise evident in his voice.
"Because Kagome loved Inuyasha and he died. Now she loves Hiei and I don't want him to die too." Shippou explained.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's a car?" Brake asked.
"Never mind them. Why did you attack Kaede's village? Were you looking for me?" Kagome asked.
"I've known where you were since you came out of the well. I just wanted to have a little fun." he replied. "Those men at the village put up a fight, but of course, they were all slaughtered easily. They were in a lot of pain before they died . . . I just wanted you to know that." he said with an evil smirk. Before he knew it, his garb was in flames as he struggled to get it off. Kagome's eyes were red and filled with anger and then suddenly back to normal, though glazed with confusion.
"Did I do that?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: I know that was kind of short, but it's already 10:30 and I have so much homework I could probably give three or four assignments to everyone reading this. I don't know how soon I'll be updating, I've got tons of tests coming up, which means more studying and homework. I feel kind of bad for not updating in a while.
Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, gamergal20.
