Chapter 4: Confrontations
Higurashi Shrine…
Once Kagome was done packing into the fridge, she headed upstairs into her bedroom, only to get pushed suddenly at her pressure point from behind, knocking her out cold.
"I've got her," Hieiexplained the obvious tothe other three.
Kurama frowned. It was just too much force. It didn't seem right. He was generally surprised that she didn't sense their presence. Or maybe she sensed Yusuke and figured he just had friends over.
"Hey shrimp! Be gentle with my cousin!" Yusuke nearly scream.
Hiei dropped her from his shoulder and clutched his head. "You scream like a banshee! Cut it out, baka!" he growled.
"This isn't right! It's a lady, she needs respect and we should have asked her before we knocked her out" Kuwabara stated.
"Idiot" Yusuke snorted.
"We really should have!" he insisted, firm on his idea.
"Let's just get going. We've already done the damage, so there's nothing we can do except follow the rest of Koenma's instructions...even though I don't agree to them either" Kurama explained.
"What? That mean you like her, ne?" Yusuke taunted
"No!" Kurama slightly blushed. He didn't know where Yusuke got that absurd idea.
"Let's just go already," Hiei told them.
Yusuke flipped open his communicator and told Botan to open a portal to Koenma's office.
In a matter of minutes, they stepped inside the portal.
Koenma's Office…
Immediately, when they got into the office, Kurama produced a potion of herbs that would render the drinker emotionless for an hour.
"Would you like a drink of water, sir?" he asked Koenma politely, praying that the prince would say yes.
"Yes, that would be great" he said, you could literally see the hearts in his eyes.
Quickly, he took out a glass of water and spiked it with the mixture. Koenma greatly accepted it and drank it all down, thirsty.
Yusuke snickered. Hiei and him knew exactly what Kurama was up to. They didn't stopthe red head because it would cause less trouble to deal with Koenma, especially with someone as fragile as Kagome.
Koenma gained a surprised, unfocused look on his face, then suddenly, his lips pursed into a thin, grim line, finally changing into a blank face.
"Bring her into the bedroom" Koenma ordered monotonously.
Yusuke and even Hiei looked in horror. Had the mixture not worked? That was just not possible!
Even so, they obeyed quite grudgingly and placed her on the bed. Quickly, Koenma took out some chains that were oddly glowing blue and chained her to the bed.
"This is so she can't escape using her powers," he explained. He then took out a black collar and wrung it around her neck, considerably tightening it to the point where Kurama was afriad the poor miko would choke.
"And this is so we can track her down" Koenma said once again.
"What are we going to do now?" Kurama asked hesitantly, examining Kagome.
"We are going to wait until she wakes up and then question her. If we can't get it out of her, then we'll use force"
Everyone else let out the breaths they didn't even know they were holding. At least he still had his senses. For a moment there, they had thought that he was still the hormonal prince scheming horrible things.
3 Hours Later…
Kagome woke up to find herself chained to a bed.
Instantly she started to panic. On instinct, she shot out a burst of miko energy in attempt to break the chains. Instead of it shattering though, it shocked her right back. And what was this extremely tight collar on her neck? She swallowed some saliva, noticing that it went down a bit slower than usual, but it wasn't a threat.
Hearing the door creak open, she faked sleep, molding her face into a somewhat peaceful look, lips parted.
"She's still asleep" Yusuke complained impatiently.
"You know, I'm against this force. This really isn't right" Kurama replied.
Hiei snorted, "Yet you still follow"
"I owe a debt to the Reikai! You do too...although I just wish I'd have more time for life at home. Shiori needs somebody to look after her now, you know"
"...Wait a minute, did you spike Koenma's drink again?" Yusuke questioned.
Kagome took all her effort not to laugh.
"Yes, I'm not very comfortable of Koenma planning unneeded things, although, this might be one of them" Kurama scratched the back of his head.
"Where is he now?" Kuwabara asked.
"I don't know, maybe planning obnoxious things"
"Hn"
"Well, Kurama, you take care of her and notify us when she wakes up, andget her some food too. She might be hungry when she gets up in that awkward position"
"Why me?"
"Well, you ARE attracted to her, are you not?"
"I'm not attracted to her" Kurama insisted.
"Then why are you blushing?" Yusuke smirked.
"I'm not! Now I sincerely ask you to get out of the room!" Kurama said.
"Hn, the fox is finally love struck after all these years with your fan club"
"I'm not love struck" Kurama demanded impatiently while shoving them out the door.
"Ah, you've never been impatient before…" Yusuke pushed on.
"Do you think she'll be my girlfriend?" Kuwabara asked.
"Idiot!"
They all filed out the door, smirking.
Kurama sighed and looked at Kagome, who was still feigning sleep. It looked realistic enough to fool everybody. She made an effort to even out her breathing.
She felt Kurama sit down beside her bed. "But who am I trying to fool? There's a lot of competition out there...and she's probably already mated or courted anyways..."
She felt him caress her cheek and brush a stray strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. She had to take some extra effort just to stop the blush flowing to her cheeks.
"I suppose I should get her food now" Kurama sighed again.
She heard a click, signaling that the door closed. Kagome sat up. Or at least shuffled up higher on her pillow. The chains weren't actually that tight...she could still shift around...
"So, maybe he's actually not one of those lusting youkai?" Kagome murmured.
Hearing footsteps down the hallway, she resumed the position she was in before.
The door opened.
Kurama walked in and set the tray of food down beside her.
She started to 'wake up' by shifting over and groaning. Kagome then shifted back the otherway and begun to dimly opened her eyes.
Kagome failed to notice the closeness of their faces as she lurched forward, startled and hit him forehead to forehead.
Letting out a small, surprised cry, she looked him to see Kurama holding his head.
"Sorry" she squeaked.
Kurama then looked up at her and smiled, holding his forehead, "It's alright"
Kagome smiled back nervously, "Why am I here?"
"I have no clue, you'll have to ask Koenma for that"
Deciding that she really liked this guy, she replied by saying, "That baby, him and all the other guys are the same" she growled, but then giggled, "You seem different though, I'm lucky your not a fan of me"
"Yeah" Kurama told her, laughing, "Well the guys told me I'm not allowed to release you of your chains...even if I wanted to, I don't know how"
"Then how am I supposed to eat?"
"They told me to feed you…" Kurama answered, blushing a little.
"What? You have got to be kidding me..." Kagome blushed a bit, then sighed, pausing, "I guess that's okay..." She grinned, "That is, if you don't spill"
Spooning a little bit of soup up, he drew it near her mouth and Kagome drank it.
By now they were blushing madly, failing to notice the flashes in the crack of the door.
Yusuke snickered, taking pictures with his camera, "I can finally blackmail Kurama!"
Spooning more soup into her mouth, they started to talk about themselves.
After and hour of talking and eating, Kurama stood up to notify the prince of her awakening.
Turning around, he said, "Good luck with him"
"Yeah, I will" She said, laughing.
'He's a really nice guy. Maybe I'll take this 'one chance' furthermore' blushing again, she thought about how he looked and took in his appearance. 'He's so handsome too…'
