Summary: Kagome has this dream about this mysterious man. What if he is real? And if he is, who is he?

A/n: Hiei is a bit taller than Kagome. I know, this would annoy some readers but deal with it. Plus, this is a chapter I redid.

Last Time:

Unknown to Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome and Hiei were having this dream link as you could say.

This Time:

Kagome's & Hiei's Dream

Kagome's POV

I was in front of the shrine… right before the… I quickly looked around. Where was that youkai?

He seemed familiar. Too familiar.

"Wench," he said, startling me.

I turned around, seeing him. Something clicked. The youkai was from…

"Is this a dream or some other dimension?"

Straight to point, I thought. I sighed. He was not like that in our previous dream. "It's a dream."

"How?"

"When I…" I blushed. "…kissed you, I had used a certain potion made of some special herbs and made you drink it. The potion, you might've guessed, is a sleeping potion."

"Hn."

Kagome stayed silent. "Well, this certainly is a strange dream, ne?"

"Whatever," the youkai said. "How are we to get out of this "dream"?"

Hiei's POV

"I don't know."

She sure was helpful.

"Maybe if I killed you in my dreams… would we wake up?"

The girl looked shocked. "I don't think that'd be a good idea. After all, you might be in a coma or end up in my body. This dream link is quite dangerous you know."

I looked at her curiously. "Dangerous? It's only a dream."

"Not entirely. We're in a place where our soul meets. This is why it's dangerous. Our bodies might, might switch if something happens," the girl explained, sighing a bit. "So, do you get it or no? Because, I don't want to explain again."

"I get it, wench."

"Good."

I felt a growl emit from my throat. This girl… annoyed me to no ends. It was something strange about her. I don't know what it could be, but there was certainly something strange about her.

OUT OF POV'S

"Now, I wonder…" Kagome began, as she looked up at the sky.

Hiei stayed silent, waiting for her to go on.

"Why are we here in the same dream?"

Hiei began to ponder about that. It was interesting. Who knew why? "How do we end this dream?"

Kagome shrugged not really knowing what to do. She sat against the Goshinboku Tree. "Try to figure it out yourself. I say, this is a really nice place to be."

That was another thing that annoyed Hiei. The "try to figure it out yourself" reply. "Wench…" His voice ever so calm and deadly.

"What?" Kagome showed her annoyance very openly to him. "I'm too tired to think. Besides, I didn't read much on dream links, you know!"

Apparently, Hiei didn't want that as an answer and attacked Kagome. His hand grabbing her throat as Kagome tried to release his hand from her throat, trying to have oxygen go through her lungs. "Y-you sure… are keeping your promise."

Hiei's eyes widened. "What promise?" His grip loosened a bit.

"When you said, you'd protect me," said Kagome. Hiei let go of her.

"Hn."

Kagome began holding her neck, trying to ease the pain she felt around her neck. "Gomen nasai. I guess, I should be careful choosing my words, ne?"

"You should," Hiei said.

"…" Kagome resumed her position against the Goshinboku tree. "Are all youkais like you? They only care for themselves and just hurt or kill anyone no matter what, until they get what they want?" Kagome knew the answer. She just wanted to hear it from the youkai.

"No."

"I see no difference at all."

Hiei appeared in front of her. "Remember the dream…" He kissed Kagome softly on the lips and…

End of Dream

Kagome and Hiei woke up instantly, sitting straight up. They scared Mrs. Higurashi, who accidentally jumped on Buyo's tail. Buyo yelped and dashed out of the house, knocking two vases.

"Well, that was unexpected, ne?" Mrs. Higurashi laughed nervously. Kagome just looked at her mother then at Hiei then at her mother.

"Yea, it is." Kagome said as she scratched the back of her head. Hiei just looked back and forth at them.

"I'll be taking my leave," Hiei said, as he was quickly on his feet. His hand rested on the doorknob, until…

BANG

The door opened immediately, having Hiei collide with the wall.

The ones that opened the door were, Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara. "Hiei, where are you?" Kurama asked, worried about his friends well being.

Hiei's eyebrow twitched madly. 'What imbeciles, I'm right here. And dammit, that hurt!' Hiei mused to himself. The door slowly closed to reveal a Hiei, who was slightly in pain but didn't really show it.

"Oh, Hiei, there you are." Yusuke said, laughing nervously. He could feel anger radiating off Hiei's aura. Mrs. Higurashi and Kagome were dumbfounded at this. It was quite obvious that they were friends of Hiei.

"I assume that you are friends with him." Mrs. Higurashi said. They nodded.

"Well, then why don't you stay for dinner?" Kagome looked at her strangely.

"Mama, do you think it is alright to do that?" Kagome asked. Mrs. Higurashi nodded and prodded off to the kitchen. 'Oh, well, maybe I should show them around, and I maybe can get some answers, too.' Kagome mused. "Well, since you're here and all, I'll be showing you around and maybe we could introduce each other."

"Okay, first off, I'm Shuuichi Minamino." Kagome cut off Kurama.

"You mean "the" Shuuichi Minamino, who scored high ranks in the S.A.T?"

Kagome asked. Kurama nodded. He had a few sweatdrops behind his head. "Wow! I always wanted to meet you. It is because my friends kept talking about you and all, and I really wanted to see if he was for real."

"Yes, but you can just call me Kurama." Kurama said. He stuck out his hand, and Kagome shook his hand. Hiei growled at that, but it was inaudible to the rest who were in the room; but it was audible enough for Kurama to hear it that is. Kurama raised a questioning eyebrow at him.

"Well, I'm Yusuke Urameshi." Kagome cut off Yusuke this time.

"You mean THE Yusuke Urameshi, as in The Great Urameshi who is the most bad ass punk in Saryusuki Middle School." Yusuke nodded his head dumbly. "My brother kept talking about you. You were like one of his idols, besides Inuyasha." Kagome said mindlessly not knowing that she said Inuyasha, but they didn't seem to notice.

"And I'm the Great Kuwabara Kazuma! Will you be my girlfriend?" Kuwabara asked Kagome. He was kneeling down right in front of her and clasping her hands with his. Hiei growled at that. Everybody heard that, except Kuwabara and Kagome.

"I'm sorry, but. I just… can't. It's because. I really do not know you that well." Kagome said as politely as she could, not really wanting to hurt his feelings. He let go of her hands and stood up. He sighed.

"It's okay. I understand completely. I will just ask you another time once we get to know each other." Kuwabara said. Kagome had a few sweatdrops.

"Well, I'm Kagome Higurashi and…" However, this time Kagome was cut off by Yusuke.

"You mean the Kagome Higurashi, who mostly has these strange and sudden diseases, which lasts up for at least a month or so?" Yusuke asked. Kagome nodded nervously though.

"Y-yea." She said, but it mostly sounded like she did not stutter. Only Kurama and Hiei knew that, but said nothing about it. "Well, I want to ask some questions from you guys, so why don't you just sit down on the couch." The boys sat down, except Hiei, because well he's Hiei.

"Okay, first off, why are two demons hanging around with two humans? Are they your pets or something that you control?" Kagome asked. Kurama chuckled at that, while Hiei smirked.

"We are not their pets!" Yusuke and Kuwabara yelled right in Kagome's face hurting her ears.

"I can hear you perfectly fine, so why don't you sit back now and let me finish asking questions now. And you can ask me questions, too, so just shut up and let's get going." Kagome said. They all nodded. "Okay, it's very obvious that you guys are not their pets. So please tell me why you hang around each other?"

"It is because Yusuke is a Spirit Detective and I'm one too." Kuwabara said not knowing that he said Spirit Detective. Kagome raised a questioning eyebrow.

"So what is this Spirit Detective thing?" Kagome asked. The three of them glared at Kuwabara for his stupidity.

"Okay, here's the real story. It all began, when a car hit me, while I was trying to save a little kid from being hit by a car. I was soon resurrected by this guy named Koenma, and now I work for him." Yusuke said. Kagome looked at him than at the others waiting for their story.

"It was at Yusuke's first mission that we met." Kurama said. "Hiei devised a team of three to steal some artifacts to take over the three worlds. His plan backfired, when one of our team members was killed, and I left the team. He soon than made a plan to get the two other artifacts back. He then got them, after capturing Keiko. Yusuke defeated him, after he hit him with his infamous attack, the Spirit Gun." Kurama said. Kagome nodded as in saying she understood.

"Well, I knew Urameshi all along. It was at his second mission, I think, that we were battling the four saint beasts. That was where I met the shrimp and Kurama." Kuwabara said. Hiei glared at him for calling him shrimp; and for some reason, Kagome glared at him too. Everyone seemed to be oblivious that Kagome glared at Kuwabara, except Kurama.

Kurama raised an amused eyebrow at her. Kagome noticed this and stopped glaring at Kuwabara. "Is there something wrong, Kurama-kun?" Kagome asked very curious. Hiei growled at that, but luckily for him it was inaudible for Kagome, Yusuke, and Kuwabara.

"There is nothing wrong, Kagome-san." Kurama said as he made a quick glance at Hiei.

"To be fair, I will tell you mine," said Kagome. They all looked at her patiently.

Kagome sighed and began telling her tale, "On my fifteenth birthday, I saw my brother, Souta, by the well shed. I had asked why he was there, to only find Buyo, our cat, was in there. He was being a baby, so I got the cat for him. Although…"

Kagome paused a bit, taking a little breath in. "There were scratching sounds, from the well. I saw a centipede youkai, and I somehow blast it away. The next thing I knew, I was dragged into a different era. There I had met quite a few friends. But, what happened when I stepped into that era, I was lost. So, I saw the Goshinboku Tree and walked my way towards it.

To my surprise, I saw a boy around my age with silvery-white hair and cute dog ears." She blushed, a little. "Though, what strange about seeing him, it is that an old arrow was pierced through his heart and was peacefully sleeping against the Goshinboku. I tweaked his ears, but then, villagers attacked me. They had tied me up. I had ended up in a village, where people had thought I was a spy or a kitsune in disguise."

Kurama smirked, hearing upon the word "kitsune".

"An old lady, which now I call her Kaede-obaa-chan, in miko garments threw purifying dust at me. They finally found out I was not a youkai. However, during the night, the centipede youkai that dragged me there attacked the village. I knew, it was coming for me, so I ran out of the village into the forest, where the boy lied."

She paused once more, letting bits of the information in. "To my surprise, they boy was awake this time. I did not know why, but he began insulting me. We had this little argument, and the centipede youkai just came and ripped the Shikon no Tama out of my body." Kurama and Hiei's eyes widened a bit

"It-…" Kagome did not get to finish, because Hiei cut her off.

"How did the Shikon no Tama get into your body? It was supposed to be burned with the remains of the last guardian, which was Kikyou." Hiei said.

"I don't know, maybe it's because that I AM Kikyou's reincarnation." Kagome said a bit annoyed. "Okay now let me continue on with my story. It-…" Kagome was cut off again.

"What is this Shiko-watcha-makal-it?" Yusuke asked of course clueless.

"It's the Shikon no Tama, Yusuke. It means the Jewel of Four Souls. It is said that it can grant anyone's wish. Also, if you possessed a shard of it, it will increase your strength tenfold." Kurama explained to Yusuke and Kuwabara. "Am I correct Kagome- san?" Kagome nodded.

"Okay, now if you, four, let me tell my story without any interruptions, I will continue." Kagome said. "Okay, it was soon killed by Inuyasha, the boy who was pinned to the Goshinboku tree. He was released, because I pulled out the sacred arrow that bound him to the tree. After that, he tried to kill me; but luckily Kaede, chanted some weird spell. After she chanted the spell, these prayer beads flew to Inuyasha. It was now around Inuyasha's neck. Kaede told me to say something to subdue him." Kagome paused, as if trying to think up a way to improvise her story. "When I said the subdue word, he fell face flat to the ground. Okay, now skipping." Kagome was cut off again, but it was Kurama, who did it this time.

"Not to be rude Kagome-san, but what was the subdue word exactly?" Kurama asked.

"The subdue word is sit." Kagome said. All of a sudden, they heard this loud thump outside.

They all got up and rushed outside to where the sound was. What they saw was a guy with long silvery-white hair face flat on the ground twitching.
