NOW ON WITH THE STORY

Chapter 5:Explanations and New Friends

"Well you see Kai-baba...um...it's a really long story." Kagome and Sango said nervously.

"Hmpf, we have time and plenty of it since my dimwitted student is at my temple with his friends eating lunch, so all of you are going to join them. Then you two will tell me this long story of yours. Come." Genkai said and started to walk over to the temple.

As they walked Kurama looked at Kagome and asked,"Are you two the granddaughters of Genkai?"

"Um...yeah we are." Kagome said blushing and looked down.

Sango saw this and smirked then asked Genkai,'Kai-baba, is Kurama a good guy because it seems Kagome has gotten very fond of him.'

'Good, I'd rather have Kurama with her instead of that baka fiancee your father engaged her to.'

'You know Inuyasha? What about Miroku?'

'Of course I know them. I wouldn't let you two get married unless I find out about your grooms first and approve of them.'

'Well do you because you didn't exactly help us out of that situation.'

'I'll tell you what I thought when both of you tell me why you're out here on your own although I can already guess the reason why.'

In a matter of minutes they arrived at the temple and got started on the task of walking up the many steps. It didn't take them long and that mildly surprised Kurama, who let the thought pass when he came to the conclusion that they must've done this many times before. That was true because when they were little the two would usually be found running around Genkai's temple much to the amusement of their mother and grandmother.

When the group got inside the people already there looked up to see the new arrivals. Then a boy with black hair combed back and a somewhat strong untapped spiritual aura around him stopped pigging out and asked Genkai,"Hey grandma who are they?" He said pointing to the twins behind her standing next to Kurama, who went to sit down on the next available seat beside a perky blue haired girl with a ghostly atmosphere about her.

"They dimwit, are my granddaughter." Genkai said calmly.

"Granddaughters!" The people around the table said shocked except for Kurama and the guy in a corner wearing almost completely black, had gravity defying hair, and a strong firey aura.

"Yes, my granddaughters, so if you all will stop gaping I can introduce everyone." Genkai said with a bit of annoyance in her voice.

With that said they all closed their mouths except the black haired guy Genkai clearly dubbed as dimwit, who the said laughing,"You're an actual grandma!"

Genkai glared at him, but sat down and did nothing , allowing her granddaughters the honor of shutting him up for her.

Everyone around the table looked at her surprised because they expected her to at least bop him on the head at the very least. Then they saw why she had done nothing, she didn't need to, in a matter of seconds they saw one of the twins with brown eyes holding a necklace chanting and then it appeared around the laughing boy's neck, with him not even noticing. When it did the two looked at each other and nodded before saying in unison,"BAKA!" With that said he went crashing into the floor as everyone laughed and even the guy in the corner managed a smirk.

Then the two went to sit down, the one with cerulean eyes went to sit next to Kurama as her sister sat next to her.

When they all calmed down Genkai made the introductions,"Everyone this is Kagome and her neko, Kirala," pointing to said person then to Sango,"and this is Sango and her neko, Kilala."

They all said a warm hello that the two returned full heartedly.

"Kagome, Sango this is Keiko," Genkai continued pointing to the brown haired girl sitting to the rude boy starting to get up,"and the simpleton beside her is Yusuke, my student."

"Your student!" They said shocked.

"Yes, he was the one that won the tournament I held, unfortunately."

"Hey!" Yusuke said annoyed as he was slapped by Keiko, who responded angrily to his comment,"Yusuke don't be so rude."

With that said he grudgingly quieted down before saying,"Fine, but can you two please take this thing off now." Pointing to the necklace around his neck.

"Oh, I don't know? Kagome what do you think, should we?"

"Nah, he needs it." Kagome said giggling.

"What I—!" Yusuke started, but was cut off by Genkai, who knocked him unconscious and then said,"Now that he's quiet can continue. The blue haired girl sitting next to him is Yukina and the orange headed guy is Kuwabara." She stated mentally adding,"Another idiot," that causing Kagome and Sango to laugh.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Kuwabara said confused.

"Oh, nothing." They said in unison and looked as innocent as could be.

"Kagome looks really cute like that."

"She would look even cuter if she was writhing under us screaming our—"

"Youko! We hardly know her and you promised to keep quiet, or did you forget?"

"Aww, technicalities and I'm trying to help your love life, which affects me sucks and I told you just charm her Kurama she was meant to be mine."

"Ours, remember."

"Same thing." Youko said shrugging.

"Something wrong Fox? I can smell your arousal and to the miko no less."

"Hiei, I am not aroused."

"Hn. Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm not blushing." Kurama said just realizing it was true.

"See, that is the only girl we've met in your life that has made you blush, so we must have her, or do you want to be a virgin for the rest of your life?"

"Youko I may not want to be a virgin, but we can't just take her."

"And why not?"

"Because we need to get to know her better, first of all."

"Fine. Hmpf, if I had my way she'd be mine in a matter of hours."

"Which is why you don't get your way."

"Well—"

"I hate to stop this riveting conversation of yours, but the miko has been trying to get your attention for more than ten minutes."

Kurama immediately snapped out of itand saw Kagome looking concerned at him before asking,"Kurama are you all right? You looked really out of it for a while."

"Oh, I'm all right." Kurama said blushing a bit more as Kagome did as well just realizing how close their faces were. At this the people around them either grinned or smirked.

After a few minutes of everyone talking and getting to know each other better, with the exception of Hiei, Genkai looked to the twin girls and asked with a calm unwavering voice,"Kagome, Sango now will you please tell me why you are hear on your own although I have a good idea of what?"

"Well..." Kagome started looking at Sango and giving her a You-Do-It look as she responded with a Fine-I'll-Do-It look.

Sango took a deep breath before starting,"We are here on our own because...(story here)," she explained, not leaving out any details and then ending it with,"and that's why we are here."

"Kai-baba please don't make us go back I really don't want to marry that Inu-baka just as much as how Sango doesn't want to marry that lecher." Kagome begged.

"Of course I won't make you go back, but in return you two must follow what I say, understand?" said Genkai.

"Yes!" The two happily responded.

"Good. The only thing I want you two to do is to train and train hard and you'll start tomorrow exactly one hour after dawn and it'll be here at the temple."

"Alright."

"Also don't expect me to give you any special treatment in training, is that clear?"

"Clear as crystal, Kai-baba." They agreed mock saluting.

The rest of the meal went through with everyone, more specifically the girls, asking questions about their lives and their grooms, but besides that it carried on without any trouble, except for when Kuwabara spotted Kagome and Sango close by and tried to pet them, but cowered away when they transformed and growled at him. That making the owners laugh as well as the others when they saw that the nekos weren't a cause for any real harm.

After lunch people started to leave until only Kagome, Sango, and Kurama were left and about to leave as well. While walking to the door Kagome inhaled sharply before turning around to face Kurama, while Sango left closing the shoji screen behind her immediately pressing her ear against the screen, as Kagome said, stuttering a bit,"Um, K-Kurama is your o-offer of living in you home still um...open?"

"Of course, but aren't you going to live with your grandmother?"

'Ooh, Kurama it'll be the best way to get closer to Kagome.'

'Quiet, don't interrupt or I'll miss what she says.'

'Fine.'

"No I ah...me and my sister that is...ah don't want to be too much of an inconvenience to her." Kagome said knowing full well that she wouldn't have minded at all.

"Oh, then I'll pick you and your sister up at nightfall, is alright?"

"Yes, yes it is."

"Well I'll see you then," Kurama said slowly moving his face towards her mildly surprised when she did the same thing saying,"Yeah, you will."

Then both closed the gap between themselves and kissed. It started out soft and sweet, but turned hot and passionate with both fighting for dominance, but neither fully winning. To get a better hold on her Kurama put his arms around her waist as Kagome put her arms around his neck.

'God she tastes like strawberries.' Kurama thought.

'Yes she does, so get closer.'

'His lips are so soft I...I need more.'

With that both tightened their grips on each other making it so that there was absolutely no space between them. Minutes later they broke apart for air panting as they looked at each other not completely sure where that sudden lust had come from.

"We should go now, I'll meet you two in front of the temple." Kurama said as he placed a soft kiss on Kagome's lips, which she happily returned, before he reluctantly let her go missing immediately the warmth of her body that melted into him perfectly.

"Yeah we should." Kagome said still a little dazed.

They walked out not expecting the scene before them.

-----------------------------With Sango In Her POV------------------------------------

When I left my sister alone with Kurama I had immediately covered my aura, so they wouldn't sense me, and then I glued my ear to the door to see what Kagome wanted to ask Kurama. What I first heard was Kagome asking,"K-Kurama is your o-offer of living in you home still um...open?"

That was something I hadn't really expected because first of all I had never heard Kagome stutter about anything before and that she asked to live with Kurama without dicussing this with me, now that was uncalled for. Then I heard him answer,"Of course, but aren't you going to live with your grandmother?"

After that their was a short silence before their conversation continued with Kagome responding with a,"No I ah...me and my sister that is...ah don't want to be too much of an inconvenience to her."

I sighed,'Kagome's lies are never that good it's so obvious she just making excuses, hopefully Kurama overlooks that.'

Then things became really weird in an instant I felt the presence of a cold gust of wind and...magic. My senses went to Kagome and Kurama after that and both had lust and passion in their auras, which I had felt before, but not as strong as this. I wonder how?

After that Kurama said,"Oh, then I'll pick you and your sister up at nightfall, is alright?"

"Yes, yes it is." I then sensed Kagome slowly moving towards Kurama, who was doing the same thing also saying,"Well I'll see you then," with Kagome responding a,"Yeah, you will," before thay both kissed.

'Oh. My. God. Kagome and Kurama are kissing! Oooh, a certain sister of mine will have some explaining to do.' I thought before I heard someone say,"Hn. You know you shouldn't be listening in."

-------------------------End Sango's POV----------------------

Sango turned around and found that the owner of the voice was that somewhat short, black haired guy named Hiei, who was standing on a branch in a nearby tree, and with more concentration she found also that he was a fire crossed ice apparition, a hybrid, with a jagan eye too.

"I know, but then how come you are?" Sango said in a slightly ticked off voice.

"I'm not, I was just roaming around." Hiei said not completely being honest. It was true that he was roaming, but around her mind. He was trying to get into her head because he wanted to figure out why he felt a mild pull towards her, but didn't expect a barrier around her mind that he couldn't even make a dent in, which was making him angrier by the second.

"Then could you roam around somewhere else?" Sango said completely annoyed now.

"No. Not until you tell me why I feel this pull towards you ningen."

"What are you talking about youkai?"

"You know exactly what." Hiei said menacingly as he jumped out of the tree expertly and expecting her to at least quaver a bit, but when she didn't and instead just walked over to him and said in a angry and irritated voice,"No, I don't and why would I want you to feel a pull towards me anyway, huh?" poking him in the chest all the while making him pissed off.

He unsheathed his sword and pinned her to a tree by the neck in a flash, while she immediately put up a barrier that just curved inward to where his sword pressed to her skin. Both glared at each other with the tension building so high that if Kagome and Kurama hadn't broken their concentration they would have suffocated.

Even with the distraction they didn't waver, much. Kagome had gasped when she saw her sister in a very bad situation, but calmed when Kurama placed his hand on her shoulder. Then he went over to the two and calmly said to Hiei,"You should unpin her now especially since if you hurt her Genkai will most likely hunt you down until you die."

His response was a simple,"Hn," before he sheathed his sword as Sango put down her barrier and saw him leave in a blur of black.

After his departure Kurama faced Sango and said in a warning tone,"You shouldn't make Hiei angry, he tends to kill those who do."

"Hmpf, he isn't so tough. He's just an arrogant and annoying hybrid with a temper." Sango replied making Kurama laugh as Kagome went to her side asking,"What's so funny."

"Well, no one has ever voiced an opinion like that about Hiei before, not out loud at least. I should get going there are a few things I need to take care of, so I'll meet you two here at nightfall." Kurama chuckled laying one quick kiss on Kagome's lips before leaving.

"Well well well, look who has finally found her prince." Sango teased as her sister blushed crimson as their nekos, who were close by and watching, mewed in agreement.

"I don't know what your talking about Sango."

"Yes you do and your going to tell me everything."

"Fine, but you'll have to tell me why Hiei pinned you by your neck to a tree."

"Deal."

--------------------------------Somewhere In The Spirit World-------------------------

"Midoriko-sama, what did you do! You may be your daughters' angel of destiny, but that doesn't mean you get to hook them up with whoever you want." said a white haired girl with wings.

"Ah, but there's where your wrong Seilia. I've already talked it over with Kurama and Hiei's angels and they agreed that I get to 'hook them up' as you call it, with them of course helping out." Midoriko replied.

"How did you get them to agree? Everyone here knows that Kio and Ryu are the only angels that can't agree on anything when it comes to their charges." Seilia said surprised.

"Well you don't know how to connect with them like I do and not in that way Seilia, so take your mind out of the gutter."

"Okay, so you got them to go with this right?"

"Yes."

"So what exactly are you planning to do, I already saw you make the feelings of Kagome and Kurama rise and they are definitely going to fall in love soon even without you pushes, but what about Hiei and Sango they aren't going to be an easy task."

"I know that and I along with Kio and Ryu have a plan made that Kilala and Kirala will help us accomplish."

"Right, so you have their love lives going in the right direction, but what about the jewel and it's destiny that will be unraveling soon?"

Midoriko sighed,"The jewel's destiny is going to be a tricky one to handle and that's why I chose Kurama and Hiei out of everyone else for my daughters. I know that they'll be happy and protected and hopefully if everything goes right it won't be a problem."

"Yeah, hopefully." Seilia said a little skeptical.

"You could have a little more faith in what I do you know." Midoriko said a bit annoyed.

"Well sorry, it's just that if they don't do what their supposed to the jewel will be thrown out into the world making all of humanity vulnerable to complete and utter evil."

"I know that, and don't, worry things will work out you'll see." Midoriko said in a softened tone,"it should."
