Three Days Later

"So, this is where the tribe lives?" Kag-Ime asked as she walked through a densely populated village.

"Yeah, but I don't know how well the tribe will take to your human friends," Sesshomaru said as he watched three children run through the streets of the village.

"Who you calling human?" Hiei asked slightly offended.

"Aren't you guys human?" asked a confused Sesshomaru.

"Heck no! We just look human," said Kenshin before they could finish their conversation a mob of overwhelmingly happy demons began to surround Lord Sesshomaru. The six friends began to wander off aimlessly when they came upon another dog demon that wasn't quite as joyous over the return of Lord Sesshomaru.

He looked over at KagIme and her friends as they approached and asked, "you came with Sesshomaru, but I haven't seen you around this place so who are you?"

"I'd like to ask you the same thing of you," KagIme said. She turned around mumbling "Who does he think he is asking me who I am."

"I'm Sesshomaru's nephew, Yusuke," he said, standing up and waking towards her, "You're a bundle of joy, I think I kind of like you."

"That makes you cousins," Kiroku said.

Sanosuke then mumbled to Hiei, "Poor KagIme, she's being hit on by her own cousin. "I guess it's legal in this time period.

Meanwhile Kenshin looked over to Yusuke and said, "Did you not just hear the resident idiot say 'that makes you cousins'? Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"Huh? People dying, children crying, lost souls being devoured by blood covered demons? Sounds cool, let's go," said KagIme returning from her journey to her imaginary world.

"So, she didn't hear a word we just said?" Kenshin asked amazed how KagIme could block anything out.

"And let's keep it that way," Hiei said ushering her away from her perverted cousin.

Later that Night

"Go to sleep you bakas!" KagIme said as she closed the folding door to her room.

After a long day of finding the dog demon tribe KagIme was tired. She flopped down onto the futon. She was half way asleep when the door to her room slid open once more.

"Hiei, I thought I told you to go to bed!" said a flustered KagIme.

"I'm not Hiei, my love," said a voice that hopefully belonged to a man.

"Who is that?" KagIme asked looking into the vast darkness, attempting to allow her eyes to adjust to the lack of light.

"Yusuke," replied the voice.

"Yusuke, who the heck is that, and why'd you call me 'love'?" KagIme asked.

"We met earlier today," Yusuke replied walking up and grabbing KagIme's hand, he kissed it and then began to kiss up her arm.

"Let go of me," KagIme said, yanking her hand away and turning around.

Yusuke took her shoulders in his hands turned her body around, took her hands off of her shoulders and took her face in them. He slowly leaned forward and softly laid his lips upon her cheek, noticing he had gotten no objections from that kiss he moved only the slightest bit closer to her mouth.

KagIme didn't care about this guy, her mind was reeling from the information she had learned over the past five days. She was still attempting to figure out the identity of this Yusuke guy, when his lips touched hers, she instantly snapped back to reality and attempted to break away from his grasp.

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around the back of KagIme's neck, as another hand began to push Yusuke's head away from KagIme, Yusuke's lips tore from hers. Soon afterwards a foot kicked Yusuke away from KagIme and tow arms enclosed her, she was lifted off the ground and carried her to the other end of the room.

Two golden eyes looked deeply into KagIme's and her father began to speak, "This pairing is strictly forbidden in this family, in this house, and in this tribe. You better not try anything else fishy because this relationship is off limits!"

"Re…re…relationship? What gives you the idea that this is a relationship? I don't even know who this guy is, certainly not enough to have a relationship with him," KagIme said, she turned away and stomped off into the darkness.

Three minutes later, there was a knock on Hiei's door and a whisper in the darkness.

"Hiei, Hiei, open up, it's me, KagIme," whispered the voice.

Settle down, I'm coming," a half-asleep Hiei said, he arose from his bed, walked to the door, and slid it open. He looked down only two inches and into the eyes of KagIme. "You okay?" he asked as he grabbed her gently by the shoulder, much more comforting than how Yusuke had less than ten minutes before, and led her into the room.

"Huh? Who is it?" asked a half-asleep Kurama.

"KagIme," Hiei replied, he guided her to the edge of his bed, sat her down and looked down at her, and "you okay?" he asked again.

"Yeah, just fine, but can I sleep in here with you guys tonight? You know, nightmares," she said, she knew she shouldn't lie to her friends, but from the moment she was guided into the room Hiei and Kurama both knew that her cousin had made an advancement. Their friendship had grown through the years to a point where they could communicate without using words.

"Yeah," Hiei said, he sat down on the floor, watched as KagIme lied down on his bed, laid a comforting hand on her knee and watched as her breathing evened and she was finally asleep.
