Warning: Slight love scene in this chapter not very grafic or well written...Can't say I didnt warn you!

Chapter Six

Kurama watched her walk away before following behind.

No use in hiding, He thought.

When Hiei had appeared at his mother house earlier Kurama knew that something was amiss. The fire demon only stayed a moment telling him of a strange woman at Genkia's, one with enormous power that needed to be watched. He was unsure how much the woman knew about Hiei, but it seemed more that even Hiei himself had let on.

Not Unexpected.

As they reached the train station Kurama purchased his ticket behind the woman, boarding the train he even went as far as to sit across from her, unable to suppress the need to unravel this puzzle.

They rode in silence for a while until Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. "My name is Kagome Higurashi." She told him extending a hand. Seeing the short look of confusion on his face she gave him her most dazzling smile. "I never introduced myself earlier, and if you are going to be following me it only seemed polite to do so."

Kurama was amused at the woman. Here she was being stalked by a stranger, and she was being polite. "I am pleased to make your acquaintance Kagome. My name is Kurama."

"Fox demon?' She asked.

"In a manner of speaking" He replied.

Regarding him closely Kagome put her hand out to shake once again with a smile. Looking at her hand Kurama remembered Hiei's parting warning. "Don't touch her unless she allows it, Fox." Warily Kurama reached out with his own hand, Kagome's innocent smile never faltering.

Hiei slaughtered any lower class demon he came across for three days and nights. Still he couldn't get the woman from his mind! She Knows was the mantra he kept repeating. No one in the three worlds except maybe Koenma knew that much about him. That information was too much power for her to have over him.

With the Jagan on her side he knew he could not harm her and attempting to do so would bring about repercussions he was not willing to face. The best thing he could do would be to stay away from her, but he also wanted to see her again. Part of him wanted to know how she would react to him, knowing all that she did. His curiosity was going to be the end of him.

Kagome had been training with Genkai and Yusuke everyday for the last week. It was rough at first and Genkai was hard taskmaster. Although Yusuke was hard on her at first he soon warmed up. He was even training her on how to channel her energy as he did. She decided against using it like a gun and adopted her own techniques. She learned to channel her energy into objects; a bokken was her favorite although the wood didn't last longer than two or three sessions.

She was slowly learning to use it effectively. Kurama and Yusuke were wary of sparing with her at first, due to their demonic blood, but she found a little charm could go along way.

Hiei had yet to make an appearance, but she wasn't overly concerned. She knew him better than anyone else and he would show up sooner or later, his pride would demand he face her.

Tired and sweaty from the evenings' training, she made her way to the bathroom. Running her hand over the wood chair rail in the hallway she thought about all that had happened that last few weeks. She still wasn't sure how she felt about having all of Hiei's memories. Sure it aided her where her training was concerned. Learning to use a bokken was almost too easy, and sparing with Yusuke and Kurama was always fun. She laughed at the memory of their first match. Yusuke swore that she was telepathic…Kurama and Genkai had their own suspicions, she was sure, but neither had said a word yet.

Reaching the bathroom, she turned the water on letting the tub fill. Pulling her hair back she looked into the mirror at her reflection. Again she thought of Hiei, how he must feel with the knowledge that someone he didn't even know had all of his memories. It seemed unfair to Kagome. Wiping her hand through the steam on the mirror she turned away with a sigh. There was nothing she could do about it right now. Striping off her sweaty clothes she settled into the bath, letting the warm water sooth her tired muscles. Closing her eyes she drifted off to sleep.

The first sensation she noticed were hands touching her gently. Soothing and relaxing her shoulders, trailing past her breast down her body towards her stomach. Stroking her skin with passion leaving heated trails everywhere they traveled.

'This is what love feels like.'

Lips caressed her own, soft and yielding. The taste of cinnamon left behind as she touched her lips with her tongue. That wonderful mouth continued on to her neck nibbling and sucking. Arching her back she moaned with pleasure.

'This is what passion taste like.'

Strong arms circled her body drawing her closer to the other. Her soft body conformed to his harder more defined one. She felt him enter her, loving and wanting. Cries of joy reached their ears.

'This is what completeness feels like.'

As they reached the heavens, tears of joy streaked down her face. Opening her eyes brown meet red.

'This is what you look like'

Kagome woke with a start, the bath water was freezing. Quickly pulling the plug she grabbed a towel of the rack. Wrapping it around herself she tried to get warm again. Drying off as best she could, she dressed for bed. Looking down at her hands she noticed how wrinkled they were

I must have been in there for a long time.

.Shivering against the cold, her dream came rushing back to her. A tremor ran down her spine, huddling into her self for warmth she tried to clear her mind. Quickly she made her way to her room. Crawling into her futon she closed her eyes

It was just a dream, she told herself, just a dream.

Hiei fell out of his tree.

He had arrived back at Genkia's temple ready to confront the woman, only to find her in the bathroom. Settling into his favorite tree he waited for her to finish. He had fallen asleep shortly after, so startled at the dream he had lost his balance.

Grateful that no one was around to see that he settled against the base of the tree, propping one leg up he rested his elbow on his knee. He contemplated his dream. He knew better than to dismiss anything the Jagan had a hand in as a mere dream. The feelings and sensations were unlike anything that Hiei had yet to experience. It was not something he could have come up with on his own. That left the woman, blushing slightly at that thought he wondered why she would dream something like that and why would the Jagan open his mind to it. Unless the Jagan had pulled them into the dream together, but for what purpose, the Jagan only craved one thing, power. Hiei finally understood. The Jagan had felt her power the first time, and wanted it.

So caught up in his thoughts Hiei never noticed the other person's soft footsteps until he was standing next to him.

"How are you tonight Hiei?" Kurama asked sitting next to his friend.

Angry at being caught of guard Hiei ignored the fox demon.

"Have you come to visit Genkai?" He asked with amusement lacing his voice. Deciding to see how far he could push his friend he continued. "Or perhaps to see Miss Kagome. She is very powerful."

"Hn, what do you have to say fox?" He bit out.

"The strangest things have been happening this week." Kurama commented with a sideways look at the shorter demon. "Kagome has almost mastered the use of a sword. Her style is quite…familiar. She is adamant that she has never used on before."

"Maybe she is a fast leaner." Hiei responded trying to sound uninterested.

"Maybe" Kurama continued, "but…she also seems to be able topredicted mine and Yusuke's moves, almost if she has fighting with us for years. Yusuke swears she can read his mind, Kagome just smiles it of as if she has a secret."

Hiei had heard enough, standing up he walked away from the smiling fox and straight in to the house. This had gone beyond his memories, and he was determined to find out just what she knew.

Thank you everyone who has reviewed this story. One more chapter I think and this ach will be over. I have more plans for our favorite characters, and hopefully more stage time for Yusuke and Kurama. I can also guarantee one more Inu. character.

Please let me know what you think, even negative reviews are welcome!
