Chapter 4

-: Normal POV :-

"Hello. My name is Shuichi Minamino. I realize that you are new to our school and thought that perhaps you might like some help in finding your way around." He smiled charmingly, keeping his hold on Kagome's arm. Two others stood behind him, obviously used to his behavior. Kagome glared up at him, a scowl marring her otherwise beautiful features.

"Your name does not matter to me. You will release me at once and never take such liberties again." Her eyes narrowed even more, if possible. There was a collective gasp as everyone was shocked into silence. Kagome, not in the mood to be patient, wrenched herself from the startled boy's grasp and turned on her heel, not once looking back and slamming the door closed behind her.

The boys were left in a stupor, having trouble believing what just happened. A female...rejecting Kurama...it was unheard of. Yusuke was the first to speak.

"Hey...guys...did everyone see that?"

Kagome's POV

This 'school' is pointless. They're all idiots... Fuck this.

Kagome walked out of the building, disregarding the looks she got from other students as she shoved people out of her way. She headed towards the park, intent on clearing her rambling thoughts.

I haven't been myself since that run-in with Kikyo...although she absorbed most of my soul, I seem to have retained a portion of it...but why??? Was it the shikon...?

The feel of cold, hard steel against the flesh of her neck interrupted her inner musings.

"Human. What are you?" She vaguely registered the voice as that of a male, rather deep and raspy. She carefully tilted her back, trying to get a look at the intruder. "Answer."

"A human, obviously. Why the sudden rise in youkai interest in me? For that matter, who are you?" The pressure at her throat lessened and she was able to get a good look at him. He was short, dressed in black with impossible spiky hair, definitely youkai. Crimson eyes narrowed at her from under a white headband, accented by the slightly tan color to his skin.

"You mock me, human, with your insolence." Kagome very nearly laughed at his angry, disgruntled expression. "Continuing to do so will result in your imminent demise."

"Just answer the question, shorty. It'll make things easier." This demon...there's something... off... about him...

They glared at each other in a battle of wills for what seemed like an eternity.

"Hiei."

"Very good!" His eyes took on a murderous gleam at the taunt in her voice. "I am but a human with a little spiritual power." A sudden noise to her left distracted them both, sending her into a fighting stance and Hiei into a tree.

That little shit ran off...dammit...

She had barely finished her thought when a huge bear demon rushed out from behind the trees to attack. Her hand instantly flew to her side but grabbed only air.

Fuck...I left it at the shrine because of SCHOOL... No matter.

Kagome readied herself, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and completely unaware of the eyes trained solely on her, watching her. The demon rushed at her with an inhuman roar, his claws raised. Her face was expressionless, betraying nothing.

There...

The only change in her countenance was a slight widening of her eyes. She struck without warning, her movements hardly visible to the human eye. Hiei, however, had no trouble following her movements. She ducked up underneath the demon's claws and thrust her hand into his chest, tightening her fingers around his heart. Kagome smirked.

The demon abruptly stopped, blood spurting forth as his mouth opened and closed convulsively.

"Idiot."

She quickly withdrew her hand, the demon's heart coming with it, still enclosed in her fist. The demon's body fell to the ground with a thud, blood pooling around its prone form. Kagome threw the heart down onto its body, her lip curling in contempt.

"Weak fool," she snarled. She stalked off in the general direction of the shrine, not bothering even to wipe the blood from her arm. The crimson eyes that had been trained on her during the fight continued to watch her, only now they were wide with shock.

'How is this...possible...?'
