CH. 16

Hiei awoke the next day feeling refreshed. Whatever the little fox did, it worked. Kagome opened her eyes and looked into Hiei's ruby-red ones and smiled. She stretched and yawned. Hiei grabbed her gently by the waist and set his chin on her shoulder. Kagome giggled and turned around to face him. Hiei knew she didn't love him the way he did, but the feelings she did show were good enough for him.

Now that they were alone, Hiei didn't feel so embarrassed doing this. He stroked her hair and kissed her nose. Kagome smiled and he brushed his lips against hers. A deep blush rose to her cheeks and she felt herself shiver. Hiei loved the reactions he got from her. The more he made her blush, the better she smelt. He didn't know why, but he liked it. Hiei pressed his lips to her forehead and then lightly kissed her neck.

Kagome moaned as he did this; when he stopped, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Hiei was just about to say something when they both heard an "Aww, how sweet" coming from the opposite side of the cave. Hiei nearly jumped when he heard it. His heart was thumping loudly in his chest. A very tall man with long black hair and great wings was at the entrance to the cave. Kagome's blush deepened and Hiei started growling.

"Now hay, come on," Said the man. "Let's not get angry, we're all friends here right?" He asked nervously. Hiei looked surprised. "Well no, I've never met you before." Hiei said with an irritated tone to his voice. The man looked at Hiei then sighed. "Oh right, how silly of me." He said happily. Kagome gave him an unsure look and tapped Hiei on the shoulder. "Is he crazy?" She asked. Hiei shrugged.

"My name is Korugane and I am the great lord Sesshomaru's number one messenger! He told me to come see you two for important matters. Miss Kagome, your friends have arrived at his castle and he humbly accepts your proposal and will help in any way he can!" Korugane said happily.

Hiei groaned. "Alright, then please leave us alone, if you haven't noticed, we are a little busy and I am not going to stop here, go tell Yusuke and the others if it's such a big deal!" Hiei shouted.

Kagome smiled. "Sorry Mr. Korugane. But if you will, and when you find them, can you tell us where to meet them?" She asked politely.

Korugane bowed. "Anything for such a beauty such as yourself; I promise to do just as you say my lady Kagome." He said in a smooth voice. Hiei made a grab for him but Koru jumped out of the way just in time and shot into the air and out of sight.

"I thought he was nice." Kagome said still smiling. Hiei snorted. Well, he interrupted…I loathe him for that. Kagome giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck and shot her tongue down his throat. Hiei, a little surprised by this action, stumbled backwards a little before regaining balance and joining her in the kiss. Kagome slowly slid his shirt off to reveal his perfectly muscular body. She slid her fingers lightly down his bare chest and stomach muscles. Hiei smiled against her lips and gently kissed her collar. Thus, they had a romantic time and Hiei soon found they were not alone; Koru obtained many bruised for being an eavesdropper.

About two hours later, everyone was together and Shippo started his boasting. "I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it…" Shippo sang for nearly half and hour strait. He would have sung that long if it weren't for Hiei.

"Little fox, I swear to you that if you do not stop that repulsive singing, I will have to do something so very terrible to you; which usually involves the loss of several limbs and that always puts me in a good mood so don't think I won't do it. I suggest you stop before I start hacking stuff off!" Hiei warned earning complete and total silence from Shippo and a few thankful and disturbed looks from his fellows. Kagome giggled. Koru sighed. "Why Hiei, you are simply terrible." He teased. Everyone had been informed as to who Korugane was. They did so many tests to see if they could trust him, and he passed all of them; it was a good thing to because otherwise, Hiei had warned him about this, he would be at the loss of several limbs.

With Sesuren

Sesuren smiled and laughed. The servant girl was a bit confused. Why was he happy? Surly these people had made him so angry he had gone mad. The difference there was impeccable. Sesuren then walked to the north wall to his room. There he found chains attached to the wall. He went over to the servant girl and whispered something into her ear. The girl gave a horrified look before helping Sesuren chain himself up. He tugged at the chains a bit to make sure they were sturdy.

The servant girl mumbled a few words from the book and Sesuren gave a loud yell and seemed to be in pain…but he did it all with a smile on his face.

With the group

Hiei felt strange, but he only showed it for a little while until he went completely silent. He had a smile on his face and walked up to Kagome. They were walking in the back so no one was really looking at them. Hiei wrapped his arms around Kagome and whispered into her ear. She was about to scream, but he had fastened his hand securely around her neck. Kagome froze and stood stiff as a board. Hiei nipped at her neck and said something else to her that made her very uncomfortable.

Koru looked in front of him. "That's odd I feel that there is something amiss… this isn't right." He started mumbling. Yusuke walked up to him. "Hey, what's up buddy; don't tell me you're having second thoughts about coming along." Yusuke said. Korugane paused for a moment. "It's not that, I just have this really bad feeling is all…like something's terribly wrong."

Everyone turned around to see Hiei holding Kagome against her own will; a look of terror and betrayal on her face. Hiei wasn't paying any attention at all to the others, but Kagome was silently pleading for them to do something. Koru gasped. "Hiei, what on earth, how dare you treat Lady Kagome in such a way;" BAM! Koru plopped to the ground after harshly being hit over the head with the hilt of Hiei's sword.

"That should shut you up; now don't you ever start talking like that again. Sorry I had to do that but you just decide to go around telling the whole bloody your opinion, that's inexcusable for someone of your rank. I should tell you that none of this is all that good for your health." Hiei said. He was still holding Kagome. He walked over to Yusuke. "You look like a strong young lad who can keep his mouth shut…" Hiei started at Yusuke. Yusuke frowned. "Oh boy can looks be deceiving." He said sourly. Hiei stared blankly for a few minutes before blinking and regaining…whatever it was he lost. Hiei looked at Yusuke and smiled. "You best tell your little friend over there that if he so much as says anything through his last breaths, I will take a visit to Hell myself and give him a good reason as to why he should have kept his mouth shut. I can ruin lives but I can ruin deaths just as well." He sneered.

Kewabara gulped. Hiei sprang forth into the trees and vanished with Kagome still in his possession.

With Sesuren

Sesuren slammed his fists against the wall and pulled on the chains with all his might. He yelled and growled loudly and the servant girl wished someone else could do this instead of her. Sesuren looked at the servant girl and panted. "Girl, what's your name?" He asked out of breath. The servant girl, being as far away from him as possible without actually leaving the room, stood a little closer to him and sat down on the floor a few feet out of his reach.

"My name is Shicara; I am the lord's servant." She said softly. (For those of you who don't know, the "r" in Shicara sounds just like an "L", just like in Kirara. So the name Shicara sounds like Shicala; it's Japanese grammar, so don't ask me.) Sesuren sat on the ground and closed his eyes. "He switched bodies with me didn't he?" Sesuren asked. Shicara nodded slightly. "Yes Hiei," She said sounding a bit sorry, "I'm afraid he did."

Whew! That was long. Well, please, review, send those wonderful reviews! I prefer them to be long, fun and pointless! So go ahead.
