Detachment

Kagome sighed as she decided it was tome to sleep since she'd been up until 2 o'clock am.

Kagome layed down on her bed then soon fell asleep but awoke when she heard something by the window…

Kagome looked outside to see a pair of blood red eyes looking straight at her!

Kagome sprung into action with fear slowly choking her.

When Kagome was outside she saw a demon that stunk like Naraku…

"No, it can't there's any way!" thought Kagome out loud.

There in front of her was a tall demon that resembled Naraku very much so… only its hair was violet and its eyes were thin and narrow. It stood like a man but it was dressed in a dark cape and its claws were so long that even the robe couldn't completely cover them.
"I am the detachment Gorin, master Naraku was killed by you I believe and so left me in his place to take care of you," said Gorin as he bowed in front of Kagome apologetically. "I have grown quiet fond of you Kagome-sama."

"So your names Gorin… hm, you resemble Naraku quiet a bit if I say so myself. But are you fast enough?" asked Kagome before rushing forward at almost top speed but was stopped when tentacles shot out of Gorin that protected him from her blow.

"Not so rash Kagome-sama! Master Naraku wished for me to toy with you and I can't have you dying so soon! Where's the fun in that hm?" teased Gorin. "Yes I have all of Naraku-sama abilities."

Without warning the detachment shot out his tentacles and Kagome dodged then just in time to see Hiei rush forward to defend her. Then five more tentacles came straight for Kagome and she chopped them off.

Hiei and Kagome then ran forward and almost hit Gorin but he disappeared into a cloud of miasma.

"Hiei! Get out of the miasma!" warned Kagome as she ran out of the miasma coughing.

Hiei disappeared then reappeared out of the cloud of miasma next to Kagome.

"Arigoto," thanked Kagome.

"Hn," replied Hiei.

"If you weren't here to help Gorin would have token me and probably killed me," Kagome then looked scared very scared. "If he escaped then what else could have?"

Kagome shivered then looked at Hiei with a weak smile.

"I guess I'll just have to hunt him down like we did before," said Kagome.

"What do you mean we? Did you not hunt on your own?" asked Hiei.

Kagome laughed then looked at Hiei.

"I was just a ningen before, human but a powerful one. I still have the power to purify to my will; you see I picked up my friends along the way with Inuyasha. First came Shippo a kitsune cub that I adopted as my son, second was Miroku a HENTAI houshi, and then came Sango and Kirara. Sango's a taijiya and Kirara is a fire cat demon, then came Kouga he promised to marry me and called me "his woman", I don't love him that way though I just love him as a friend. –Sighs- then came Sesshomaru he tried to kill me but eventually we became friends then he made me family along with Rin his apprentice, she's really cute," explained Kagome. "Well I better go inside."

Kagome went inside to her bed and soon fell asleep with five tears gently rolling down her flushed cheeks.

Two week had past and Kagome had been sparring with Hiei everyday and now her skills were improving, she always brought a sweet treat such as ice cream for Hiei.

Now it was night and she was pretty beat up from the day, Kagome sighed then sat up.

Kagome had changed into a human and it was getting on her nerves and so she changed back in a serge of blue light.

"Ah that feels better," said Kagome with a swish of her tail.

Kagome got out a brush and started brushing her tail.

When Kagome was done her tail was swaying with pleasure and was fluffy like a cloud.

"Hi Hiei," greeted Kagome when she felt an aura near hers just outside the window.

Kagome had some ice cream for him in the fridge and so she opened the window for him to come in.

'Kagome's my friend she wouldn't try anything sneaky would she?' thought Hiei as he went inside Kagome's home.

"Here," said Kagome as she handed Hiei with an ice cream cone and shot him a sweet smile that was even sweeter then candy.

'Thanks,' said Hiei's mental voice in Kagome's head.

"No problem!" said Kagome before she heard something outside. "Oh, no."
Kagome then menuvered around Hiei and opened the window some more then jumped out with her demoness claws extended.

Kagome ran to the front of the house and emiadiatly relaxed to see Inuyasha there but when she looked closer she saw a ball of red snuggled close to him. The ball turned to reveal an EXTREMELY happy….

"SHIPPO!" squealed Kagome with joy to see her adopted son.

"Kagome!" squealed Shippo as he bounded into his mothers arms. "I missed you so much and I kept bothering Inuyasha until he finally brought me back and, and…"

"Kagome, who's that? Isn't that the shorty who stood up to me?" asked Inuyasha pointing at Hiei behind her.

Hiei wasn't the type to lose total control but this was too much, a hanyou insulting him? Nope not something to ignore in Hiei's opinion.

"Inuyasha! That's not very nice to say about my friend!" said Kagome as she walked in between Hiei and Inuyasha for the best. "Say you're sorry."

'So more then one person can travel through the well? You've kept this a secret,' complained Hiei in an amused tone.

'Whoops,' said Kagome's mental voice as she let down her mind barriers.

Kagome sighed then looked at inuyasha, Shippo then Hiei again.

"Why don't we all go inside?" advised Kagome.

Everyone agreed and went inside for some chatting… more like war between the pompous hanyou and the fire apparition….

Kagome knew a lot about Hiei but not enough in her opinion to get a good grip of what it was like to be Hiei.

The boys were having a starring competition while Kagome was talking to Shippo and the rest.

'It's rude to stare! Jeese can't you guys just be friends?' asked Kagome in her sad mental voice.

'Hn,' was all Hiei's mental voice said.

'I thought we were past the "Hn",' came Kagome amused reply.

'I refuse to be "friends" with the hanyou,' refused Hiei.

"Can I get anybody anything?" asked Kagome so sweetly that it seemed like the world was perfect. "Inuyasha? Shippo? Hiei?"

"No, arigoto," thanked Inuyasha.

"No," came Hiei's reply.

"No thanks mommy," said Shippo in his childish sweet voice.

'Mommy?' asked Hiei with one eyebrow raised.

'I'll explain later,' replied Kagome.

"So how's everybody?" asked Kagome.

"The monk's still a pervert, Sango's still beating him, Shippo's been complaining as usual and I've been trying to patch things up with my big bro," came Inuyasha's honest reply.

Kagome sighed then smiled as a mental picture came up of Sango beating Miroku.

"Nothing ever does change," said Kagome with a giggle.

"Mommy, who's that guy with the dark clothes?" asked Shippo as he looked at the rather frightening Hiei.

"Oh! This is Hiei my friend," introduced Kagome.

"What IS he doing here?" asked Inuyasha.

"I am where ever I want to be," snarled Hiei.

"As if she's my sister so get lost shorty," countered Inuyasha.

"A hanyou such as you has guts to challenge me," smirked Hiei as he looked at Inuyasha evilly.

Inuyasha stood up and so did Hiei.

"Whoa! Whoa! Guys just chill got it?" ordered Kagome while putting a hand and forcefully pushing down Inuyasha. 'Chill Hiei, I never expected you to completely lose self control like that.'

'Hn, I never lost self control the hanyou was challenging me and so I accepted. With you interfering that just brought us even more tense,' corrected Hiei's mental voice.

Inuyasha was just looking at his sister and rival Hiei's inside conversation.

"Am I missing something?" asked Inuyasha.

"Nope Inuyasha, it's nothing!" said Kagome nervously.

"You're hiding something," pointed out Inuyasha a little annoyed.

"Inuyasha, I need to tell everyone something… its pretty serious and I don't know what u should do about it," said Kagome thinking about Gorin and how serious this could be.

Inuyasha nodded.

"Shippo has something to ask you," said Inuyasha poking the kitsune kit. "Don't you Shippo?"

"Mommy can I stay with you in this time?" asked Shippo in a sweet tone.

"Of course! I wouldn't allow it to be any other way!" smiled Kagome. "But I must warn you, things are going to get kinda…. Weird."

Kagome was trying to make the transfer off one time to another a little easier on him.

"Ew, mommy what's that smell? Inuyasha said it was something like pollute," complained Shippo.

"It's called pollution, after a while you'll get used to it," assured Kagome while stroking her son's hair.

"Ok mommy," Shippo yawned then curled up on Kagome's lap. "I'm tired mommy…"

And soon Shippo had drifted off to la la land, Kagome then picked up her son and brought him upstairs to her room and placed him on her bed with the cover on. She then descended to the kitchen again.

Inuyasha stood up and gave his sister a hug.

"I have to go now, big bro has a lot of work that he wants me to cover," said Inuyasha then released his sister. "Ja ne Kagome!"

"Ja ne Inuyasha!" said Kagome as she waved Inuyasha good-bye.

"Oh yah and shorty, L-O-S-E-R! Ha, ha," laughed Inuyasha as he disappeared into the well with a serge of light leaving a fuming Hiei.

Kagome had the TT look with a giant sweat drop on the side of her face.

"I guess that wasn't the best intro," sighed Kagome.

'That is your brother!' asked Hiei still fuming. (Inside himself of course)

'Uh, yah. That's Inuyasha for you, stubborn, ignorant, selfish and a jerk but he still has a good side he loves his friends like family,' replied Kagome.

'Hn,' fumed Hiei before disappearing to take out his anger on a demon before returning to Kagome to get his answers that he wanted NOW. 'I'm going to get to know about her past I am still in the shadows of it all…. Stupid hanyou he's messing with the wrong guy. What did I feel back there? When Inuyasha hugged Kagome? Jealousy?'

Hiei kept on thinking about that even when he was beating up a butterfly demon… it was pretty until Hiei attacked it and slit its poor body in half then licked his fingers.

"Pathetic soul… what a waste of perfect flesh," said Hiei.

The demon had seemed so happy the perfect thing to take his frustration out on even though Kagome wouldn't be too happy with him…

'Since when did I care about Kagome's thoughts?' thought Hiei even more frustrated.

Hiei decided to find Kagome and get his answers.

"Ah, that felt nice," sighed Kagome contently as she put a towel on her hair then got dressed into a pretty set of pyjama's and walked over to her pink bedroom only to find a bloody note on her dresser.

Kagome's tail swished with caution and her hairs started standing on end with her pointed ears perking up and her nose working like a magnet to scan the dried blood… It was about 1 day old blood, mixed with the blood was the over whelming scent of miasma.

"Gorin," said Kagome as she picked up the note and sniffed it for chemicals or drugs.

Shippo woke up and yawned.

"Mommy I can't sleep I want a song," moaned Shippo as he rubbed his eyes and slowly pushed off his covers.

"Ok, this song is part of a song that I know," said Kagome as she sat down beside her son. "It's called "Love will save the day"."

"Love will save the day,

Baby tomorrow,

Love will save the day,

The evolution,

Love will save the day,

Baby tomorrow,

Love will save the day…"

And Kagome's sweet song went on until Shippo was far off into a dazed dream.

Hiei had been watching and listening Kagome's sweet and gentle voice had lulled him and made him feel pure and so he decided to ask her his questions before he was put into a trans.

Hiei opened up the window to see Kagome sitting with her son on her lap he was asleep thank god. The kits annoying questions would get in the way.

'So…' said Hiei.

'You want to know everything don't you?' said Kagome.

'Hn,' said Hiei.

'Ok, it's not like my life is was as sad as yours,' sighed Kagome as she sent all that she knew about her past to Hiei through the mind.

Hiei stood there taking in on everything including the battle and how many blows she had taken. The blood pooling out of her arm from the stab that she had taken.

'Hn, I have to leave now,' said Hiei as he disappeared he wanted to figure out this new information of his best friend. 'Since when was Kagome my "best friend?"….'

Dah end of that chapter! I know it took me a while but I just had a LOT of test this week and I needed to study them cuz I failed my last geo quiz. And while you guys are reviewing I'm just going to work on the next chapter! Yay! I have another story coming up that's going to be a Kurama and Kagome pairing, and then I have an Inuyasha and Kagome pairing coming up and a Yusuke and Kagome pairing. Wow that's a lot to do. Yep it should take me a month to get each of those up but about a week per chapter for this story. So REVIEW this time like come on! I'm being generous to you people for even putting up all these chapters! So this times 4 reviews or else no more writing on this until I get it!

My life is pitiful with a family such as mine… its not "physical abuse" but mental abuse, they make fun of me and stuff it's sad that's probably why I can give such great advice. Yep well-got problems then just tell me I can give you advice on it.
