Kagome was in pain from the stab she had been not so fortunate to receive on her arm.
She was still fighting but in extreme pain when she moved her injured arm but Sesshomaru had taught her to fight on no matter how much pain she was in. It was basically the family tradition to never give up on a battle even if it cost you your life.
'If I'm going down, I am going down with honour!' thought Kagome as she stabbed another demon and dodging one of Naraku's tentacles.
Kagome spun around and slit the tentacle off in one swift movement of her wrist.
Inuyasha was killing demon, after demon, after demon without much effort. All it took was a swing of his sword and about five demons would be dead.
Kagome then felt her arm to feel the amount of blood pouring out of her…. It was too much for safety.
She whipped off some blood onto her hand the flicked it.
'I won't last much longer with this wound,' thought Kagome as she ran forward cutting off another annoying tentacle. 'Time to fix it.'
There was a sudden glow from Kagome's hand and her wound was healed.
"Ah so you have finally learned how to heal yourself have you my little miko?" said Naraku.
Kagome just smirked.
"Who said I could only heal myself?" asked Kagome. "You're pure evil, I'm a miko. If I touch you with my purifying powers you will die."
And so the battle went on for days and days. Never seeming to end until finally Kagome destroyed Naraku with Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kirara and Shippo's help.
Kagome was just sleeping out of exhaustion from the never-ending battle.
There she laid a glowing figure on the cold hard ground. The sun remaining unseen behind the cloudy skies.
All seemed peaceful all seemed right just for that one moment.
Inuyasha lay not to far from Kagome. Same with the rest of the legendary group.
Kouga was up but dizzy and in pain.
Mean whileHiei was jumping from tree to tree trying to avoid the purifying of the shine grounds.
This spiritual energy was radiating off of the well house and Hiei didn't dare touch it.
Hiei nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt a hand touch him.
"Hiei Koenma wants the report on your progress!" said Botan.
"He can wait," came Hiei's reply.
"But he wants it now!" complained Botan.
"He can wait," Hiei's voice was stern and ordering.
"Fine," grumbled Botan as she disappeared through the portal.
'I must see what's going on but how?' thought Hiei then an idea hit him.
5 days later
Kagome finally came out of the well lugging her backpack.
She had bandages covering one of her legs, and a new kimono that she had received from Sango for a gift since they had defeated Naraku.
Kagome of course would be going back again and again, since they had discovered she was the reincarnation of Midoriko and since she was meant for the past.
Kagome's POV
I got out of the well to see a dark shadow in the corner emiadiatly I knew who it was and put a smile on my face to hide the few marks on me from the battle.
Hiei's POVShe was smiling at me and I didn't know why but I had a sudden urge to make it stop.
Regular POVSo there they were starring at each other.
"Come," said Hiei.
Hiei wanted to take Kagome to Koenma since her presence seemed to have this soothing effect on him.
Kagome's swished her tail in annoyance and let it drop.
"Why? Are you just going to take me to Koenma? I am not leaving here," protested Kagome.
"Just come," ordered Hiei before speeding forward and picking up Kagome.
"Let me go!" protested Kagome.
Kagome was struggling but she didn't release her purifying powers why?
Hiei was having enough so he just conked her on the head and knocked her unconscious.
Later"Mmmmm… my head," moaned Kagome as she sat up to find herself in a steel room.
Kagome looked around then she started feeling angry… she was tricked!
"Hiei you're going to pay!" growled Kagome.
She had to try everything to get out of this… everything and anything.
She still had the Shikon no Tama around her neck. She knew it would form fit to her if she decided to transform.
Kagome's eyes turned pure red then a smile graced her face.
"You thought you could trap me? Think again," smirked Kagome before in a burst of light she transformed into her dog form.
Kagome in her dog form was pure black except the tips of her ears and tail. She had the family crest on her forehead; she was about three quarters of the size of Sesshomaru's transformed state. She also had rings of red around each paw and she was fluffy!
'Now to get out of this Hell hole,' thought Kagome.
That's when beams of electricity started appearing slowly burning there way towards Kagome.
'Oh shit!' thought Kagome before having to dodge many different beams of electricity.
Kagome then decided to transform back to her demoness form.
When she did so the beams didn't sop.
"Hiei you tricked me!" said Kagome.
'Traitor,' thought Kagome while dodging five more beams.
She wasn't tired but gas started filling the chamber to knock her out.
"Traitors…" said Kagome before passing out by the door.
Hiei hated what he had done… the fireside was burning extra hard and the ice was chilling his every bone.
To Hiei… he was what Kagome had called him… a traitor.
"Koenma," said Hiei.
"Yes," answered Koenma.
"You have to stop… she's done nothing wrong just let her go," ordered Hiei.
"Sorry Hiei, but there's no way I can let her go. She has the Shikon no Tama and I don't want to be spanked!" bellowed Koenma.
Hiei was now getting pissed, Kagome was so pure and gave him a soothing feeling through out his body… and now he had just became a traitor to her.
Hiei then made up his mind and disappeared into thin air.
Kagome awoke in the chamber from her purifying powers healing her and making it possible to breath.
"Huh?" said Kagome as she saw a figure appeared.
When her vision became clearer she snarled and turned her head in disgust.
"Traitor," whispered Kagome over and over as if she was haunting Hiei's very soul.
Hiei got chills down his spine whenever he heard her call him a traitor.
"What do you want?" snapped Kagome; she wasn't exactly feeling that upbeat and ready after being gassed.
"I came to free you," said Hiei.
Kagome stood up and walked out the door as if Hiei wasn't even there then stopped.
"Thank you," Kagome said before disappearing with a single tear falling down her cheek.
She had been through so much… just seen many die before her and now this? No, not even Hiei could comprehend what it was like to feel that much hate, distrust, and death in one being.
That's why he freed her.
"A soul such as herself should never be confined," whispered Kurama.
Hiei turned around to see Kurama standing there amused.
"I'm just saying, that even I have found myself falling for Kagome," said Kurama just to tease Hiei.
"Leave me alone fox," said Hiei in his mental voice.
With that Hiei disappeared to go see Kagome.
"Jeese I come home after battling Naraku and I have to put up with this?" mumbled Kagome, as she got dressed into her favorite kimono that Sesshomaru had given her.
It was a rich violet colour with a gold obi with flowers on it.
Sesshomaru had said, "If you are in this royal family you will dress as your standing."
So he made her throw out all her uniforms except for one that she was wearing then gave her a whole new royal wardrobe.
Kagome stretched then decided it was time to do her chores around the house.
1 hour later
"Finally," moaned Kagome as she went outside with some lemonade for a "break" time.
Kagome stretched then hoped into the God tree with her tail dangling down.
Kagome finished her glass of lemonade then placed it on the ground soon her eyes felt heavy and she fell asleep… or so it seemed.
Hiei stepped out of the shadows and Kagome's pointy ears perked then relaxed.
"What do you want?" asked Kagome. "A traitor such as yourself has guts to even try and come near me after what you did."
Her words were like knifes to Hiei, stabbing in and out of him… letting him bleed slowly to death.
'I came to talk,' said Hiei's mental voice.
"Talk that's a laugh… but I am listening," replied Kagome as she handed Hiei and extra glass of sweet lemonade.
Hiei took it and examined it.
"Just thought you might want something to drink before you start talking, don't worry if I wanted to kill you I would do it myself," said Kagome in a "manner of fact" tone.
"Hn, most unlikely," corrected Hiei.
"Well… what do you want to talk about?" asked Kagome.
'I came to warn you about Koenma's plans,' said Hiei in his mental voice.
"Let me guess he's got all you spirit detectives all over Tokyo planning on capturing me and possibly hurt me?" asked Kagome.
"How did you?" asked Hiei.
"Simple, I ain't just an ordinary dog demoness," said Kagome as she then picked up her long tail and started to comb it. "I am the protector of the Shikon no Tama as you must know, it was forged out of my body when I was 15. Then I fell down the well on the same day. And so I met my friends then we defeated the evil Naraku just a week ago, as you have spied on me you must have notice my change."
"Hn," Hiei didn't want her to have the satisfactory of him admitting anything.
"But since you're here want to fight?" asked Kagome.
"Hn," with that Hiei unsheathed his sword and the fight began.
"You're going to slow," said Kagome. "Your true potential, that's what I want to see."
Kagome's sword and Hiei's collided again.
To the average viewer there was nothing in the Higurashi's shrine grounds just the sound of metal colliding.
When they finally stopped it was night and the shadows of those were long gone.
Kagome sat down and looked at Hiei expectant for him to join her.
"You are a good fighter," complimented Kagome.
"You are to," replied Hiei.
Hiei sat down next to her then he wasn't ready for her question next….
"Hiei tell me about your past… you seem to have the eyes of a killer, please?" asked Kagome.
"I will tell you but not like this," said Hiei then prepared himself to send her the mental pictures. "It's to hard to explain."
And so Hiei sent her everything that would answer her question.
Kagome saw everything the betrayal, the killing, everything about his past.
Hiei was expecting rejection from her but what he got instead was nothing of the sort…
Kagome broke down in tears from all this new information of her new friend.
"Why are you crying?" asked Hiei wanting to get to the bottom of this.
"I cry because you can't," replied Kagome whipping away a few tears. "You and I are not that different you know… seeing death, betray and pain plenty of pain. My past is not that different from yours. It started out a lot better but got worse, and worse as it went on."
Kagome's eyes now seemed glassed with unshed tears and she shone from her aura and the light.
'Kagome?' asked Hiei trying to make her regain consciousness.
Kagome glared at Hiei and gave him a shy smile then she sat back down onto the ground.
Kagome sighed then if you looked hard enough she was fighting back tears.
"It's just my life was so horrible and now everything's over…. when I look back at what I went through it just seems like a nightmare that you can't wake up from," said Kagome. "I was born with the burden of the Shikon no Tama…. It turns out that I am the reincarnation of Midoriko instead of Kikyo."
Kagome "disliked" Kikyo so much that when she said Kikyo's name her scent suddenly became sad and full of hatred, distrust everything that could indicate her hatred for Kikyo.
'You seem to dislike this Kikyo character… who is she?' asked Hiei, Hiei was still in shock that Kagome hadn't rejected him like most… for some reason he felt –if this was on the emotion list of Hiei- pure.
"Kikyo was the miko who took care of the Shikon no Tama before me, she slayed demons who were after the Shikon no Tama. But fate played a strange twist and had her killed as fate would have it she believed it was Inuyasha my brother but not at the time and so pinned him to that tree," explained Kagome as she pointed to the Kami tree. "Then when I freed Inuyasha shortly after she was brought back to life, then she attacked me and almost killed me."
Kagome stopped there it would take to long to explain everything.
'Hn,' was all Hiei could say, it was not like him to be so comforting.
"I've got to go, I need some time to think," said Kagome as she sped off then stopped turned and waved. "Thanks for listening to me. I hope we can fight again."
Kagome then disappeared.
Hiei nodded, why did Kagome make him feel so pure?
Hiei then disappeared; he to wanted to do some sparring with her for it was fun.
Hiei was playing with a bomb labelled "Kagome" and it was thrilling his very soul.
Kagome was sitting atop a sky scrapper and just thinking about her friends and the hardships that came from her stupid mistake.
She thought about the death and the pain that was created from Naraku.
To the average viewer you would see a figure that shone like an angel that had a long tail drifting in the unseen wind.
And so there she sat thinking then a small bird fluttered by causing Kagome to look at its life and admire the freeness that it contained. If only she could just fly away from all her problems…
