The Pure Rose
Chapter 1- Koenma
Kagome slowly nodded her head, and followed the demon into a portal. In an instant they were in an office. It was pretty full.
The walls were a bright yellow like a dandelion, in each corner were columns that were a bright violet color, on the ceiling there was a wooden ceiling fan, in the middle of the room was a wooden desk with papers every where, and a big screen monitor right behind it.
Then from behind the desk a demon popped his head over his desk. He looked like a toddler. His eyes looked closed, and he had a binki in his mouth. "Ah Lady Kagome," exclaimed the toddler, "You're here at last!" Kagome shook her head. "You don't have to be formal to me. Just call me Kagome," replied Kagome smiling. Hiei was taken aback by her smile. She was beautiful. Her aura was pure and relaxing. He could just melt into her presence. He knew that she was a neiko demon, but one look at her and she would take your breath away.
"What do you need Koenma?" asked Kagome politely. "Well you see Kagome my spirit detectives have a new mission to complete. They must find powerful relics that in the wrong hands they could rule all of the worlds," explained Koenma as Kagome nodded. "And the only person who can find them is me right?" questioned Kagome. "Yes. Oh and the Lord of the Western Lands would like to see you," replied Koenma. Kagome nodded. "Hiei will be escorting you to the Western Lands," added Koenma.
Hiei nodded, and motioned for Kagome to follow him. The trip was mostly quiet until Kagome started to sing something. It was to quiet for Hiei to understand what was said. He looked back to her, and she stopped right in front of him. "What are you singing onna?" asked Hiei roughly. Kagome blushed a bright red. " Um…. It's a song my mom use to sing to me before she umm…." trailed Kagome. "Sing," commanded Hiei. Kagome looked up at him (A.N In this fic he's taller than her. He's about Kurama's size), and hesitated for a moment.
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down
As she sang he could find the slightest bit of sadness in her voice. Her voice was beautiful. She sounded like an angel. He never let his mask down, but inside he was melting away.
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Uh uh... uh uh, uh uh
Well, I've been afraid of changin
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder
Children get older
And I'm getting older too
Well
(Instrumental)
Well, I've been afraid of changin
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder
Children get older
And I'm getting older too
Well, I'm getting older too
So take this love and take it down
Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
The landslide'll bring you down
As she finished the song Hiei pouted, but didn't let it show. He didn't want her to stop. She sounded just like his mother. Oh kami how he missed her. Hiei was still staring at her, and it started to scare her. "Umm… Hiei, are you okay?" asked Kagome with concern in her voice. Hiei then snapped out of his trance, and nodded his head. He turned and started to walk again. Kagome followed suit.
A few hours later they finally reached the castle. Kagome stopped and said a quick chant that let her form show. As they entered the castle a servant came up to Kagome & Hiei. Kagome put on a mask that would even scare the strongest demon in all of the realms. "Lady Kagome I will be leading you to the study," said the servant bowing. Kagome nodded her head, and followed the servant. Hiei followed quietly.
They got to the study, and the servant turned around. "Lord Sesshomaru-sama shall be out in a moment," stated the servant before she left. Kagome & Hiei waited patiently for Sesshomaru to return. While she waited Kagome was remembering her past times to the castle.
Flash back
A child-like Kagome was sitting on the edge of the pond trying to catch the koy (sp?) inside. All of a sudden a silver blur went by, and knocked her into the pond. "Ahh!" yelled Kagome as she fell into the pond. A small Sesshomaru could be seen laughing on the shore. "Gottcha!" yelled Sesshomaru.
"Oh yeah!" replied Kagome as she glowed a blue hue. All of a sudden a ball of water hit Sesshomaru full force. Kagome slipped out of the pond laughing so hard that she turned red. "Okay, okay you got me! I surrender!" yelled Sesshomaru. Kagome went over to help him up.
They went to a hill in a clearing to watch the sunset like always when Kagome came over. They sat down on the very top staring at the sunset. "Sesshomaru," said Kagome wearingly. Sesshomaru gave her his full attention. "Can you promise me something?" asked Kagome with tears brimming in her eyes. "Yes Kagome?" said Sesshomaru. "Will we always be friends no matter what happens?" asked the young girl. Sesshomaru looked shocked, "Of course we'll be friends no matter what. Kagome you're like my little sister!" said an alarmed Sesshomaru.
Kagome quickly hugged Sesshomaru and he hugged back
End flash back
Kagome sighed How she missed those days. Then, Sesshomaru came in. "Hiei could you leave us for a moment?" asked Kagome. Hiei merely nodded and left. Kagome made sure no one was around. She quickly ran to him & hugged him. "Oh Sesshomaru I missed you!" cried Kagome.
Kagome cried into his shirt. "Shhh Kagome. It's okay. I'm here now," said Sesshomaru trying to calm her down. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back as she fell asleep in his arms. He picked her up bridal style, and took her to her room. When he came out he saw Hiei waiting outside her door.
"What business do you have with Kagome?" asked Sesshomaru. Hiei looked into Sesshomaru's eyes. "I am to guard her. Koenma has asked for her help, and she accepted," stated Hiei dryly. Sesshomaru nodded. "If any harm comes to my sister I will personally torture you," replied Sesshomaru icily. Hiei nodded. Everyone knew not to anger the Lord Sesshomaru. He would instantly cut your head clear off of your shoulder.
As Sesshomaru left Hiei entered Kagome's room. She was starting to stir. Her eyes fluttered as she stretched her arms, and legs. A little of her stomach showed reviling a scar that went from one side to the other. "Hello Hiei, how are you?" asked Kagome. Hiei went closer to Kagome. "What happened to your stomach?" asked Hiei. Pain clearly shot through her eyes, but disappeared quickly. She looked down to the floor as tears stained the carpet floor.
Hiei grabbed her into an embrace, & began to rub small soothing circles into her back. She looked up to him and smiled. "Well a evil man named Naraku had possession of the Shikon No Tama, and my friends, and I had to get it back. Miroku was a monk whom Naraku put a curse upon him called the Wind Tunnel. It would be passed down from generation to generation until Naraku was destroyed.
Songo, a demon slayer, had to get back her younger brother from Naraku's grasp. He use Kohaku to kill all of the demon slayer village. Inuyasha, a half-demon, was framed by Naraku to kill his first love, Kikyo. And I was the only one who could sense the Shikon No Tama. During the final battle I got this scar which is more than I can say about the rest of the gang.
Everyone else died because I was too week to protect them," stated Kagome as she started to sob. Hiei just sat there holding her as she cried. Hiei got up as soon as she stopped crying. Kagome followed suit. "We should get going," said Kagome quietly. When they got out of the room they caught Sesshomaru leaning his ear to the door.
"SESSHOMARU!" bellowed Kagome. She dashed after Sesshomaru as he turned to run. She finally caught up to him & tackled him to the ground. "What are you waiting for help me!" called Sesshomaru. A smirk fell onto his face. Hiei ran as fast as he could and tackled Kagome. "Surrender," commanded Hiei. "NEVER!" shouted Kagome. Then, Hiei started to tickle her. "STOP… NO FAIR!" shouted Kagome between breaths. "Surrender now or suffer," commanded Hiei yet again. "OKAY. OKAY YOU WIN!" said Kagome out of breath.
Hiei got off of Kagome and helped her up. "Awe, how cute!" cooed Sesshomaru. Kagome blushed, and tried to turn away. Hiei caught sight of this and turned away. Sesshomaru smirked. He would have fun trying to put these two together.
"Well got to go Sesshomaru! Got to save the world again!" called Kagome. "No, I'm going with you," stated Sesshomaru. Kagome nodded. Hiei opened a portal and they all stepped into Kagome's house. "Sesshomaru, I got some clothes that you can wear. They used to be my dads," suggested Kagome, "You will be going to the same school as I am tomorrow." She got to her fathers closet and pulled out a pair of faded blue jeans, and a white button-up tee. "This is what you will wear tomorrow," said Kagome.
Then, Kagome went upstairs to fill out his application.
With the boys
"So Hiei," said Sesshomaru, "You seem fond of Kagome. Is this true?" asked Sesshomaru. Hiei was taken aback. Yes he found her attractive, but did he really like her? "No," was his simple answer. "Lies," replied Sesshomaru. "You wouldn't have tickled her if you didn't like her, nor would you have comforted her in her time of need. Face you have fallen hard for her," taunted Sesshomaru.
Hiei ran outside, and jumped into the God tree to think. He had never shown any affection for anyone besides Yukina. 'What's happening to me?'
