Chapter 6: How Kagome became a demon.

Kagome was in the Forbidden Forest, thinking.

Flashback:

Kagome sat in the middle of Inuyasha's Forest and relaxed as a bright light consumed her. Inuyasha, who had been sitting next to her, jumped up at once.

"KAGOME!"

Kagome was surrounded by a bright white light, and saw a woman in the distance.

"Midoriko?"

"While I would normally ask for what you wish, there is something else that I must do, but I need your help."

"What do I have to do?"

"You must wish for me to reveal your true form."

"Okay, then I wish you would reveal my true form."

A soft blue light surrounded Midoriko, and it snaked around Kagome and disappeared.

"I… remember..." Kagome whispered. Midoriko smirked.

"Farewell, Kagome." She said as the world dissolved into mist.

Kagome blinked and she was standing next to Inuyasha.

"The Shikon no Tama has been purified." She whispered to the wind. Kagome turned around and walked toward the village, leaving Inuyasha staring.

"KAGOME! YOU SMELL LIKE A KITSUNE!" Shippo yelled as Kagome walked into the village.

"Can I see your demon form, Kagome?" Shippo asked.

"……… Midoriko?"

"Oh, right. Just picture yourself as a demon."

Nothing happened.

"It didn't work, Midoriko."

"Uhh… try to melt into your true form."

Nothing happened.

One hour later…

"I've got it!" Midoriko took something out of a pocket and threw it at Kagome. As she raised her hands to catch it, it dissolved into her.

"Now try."

Kagome's hair grew longer and turned silver. Her ears became like Inuyasha's, and she had long claws and fangs. Her eyes turned gold as Shippo watched in awe.

End Flashback.

She sat back and transformed. Just then Kurama and Hiei walked out of the trees.

"Ki… Kiyoshi?"

"Kiyoshi!"

Kiyoshi looked up and was shocked to see Kurama and Hiei watching her.

"I… I can explain." She stuttered.

"Kiyoshi!" Kurama ran to her and wrapped his arms around his sister as he changed into Yoko. Kiyoshi was shocked to say the least.

"Kurama? I'm so glad that you're alive. Who's your friend?" She said, looking pointedly at Hiei.

"Oh, Kiyoshi this is Hiei, Hiei this is my sister Kiyoshi, also known as Kiyo-chan, or just Kiyo." He replied, knowing that Hiei wouldn't introduce himself.

"It's nice to meet you, Hiei." Kiyoshi said, shaking his hand. They just stood there for a minute, each trying to look into each others pasts. Kiyoshi yawned.

"Well, I'd better get to bed. Oh, and by the way, call me Kagome." She smirked at the look on Kurama's face as she changed back into Kagome.

When she got back to the dorm, she collapsed on her bed, closed her eyes, and fell into the endless chasm of sleep.

Dream Sequence:

Kagome, Kurama, and Hiei were all in a room. Naraku, Kagura, and Kanna were also there.

"I want the jewel shards…" Naraku hissed.

It was a full out battle. Kurama took care of Kanna, and Hiei had swiftly beheaded Kagura and turned to watch Kagome.

"NARAKU!" Kagome shifted into her demon form and slashed out at him. "I'll kill you!" Naraku lashed out at her and she jumped back.

"Kiyoshi! Use your Shadow Sword!" Kurama shouted. Kiyoshi nodded and a black sword that seemed to have no exact shape formed in her hand.

She lashed out with her newly acquired sword. She sliced off Naraku's left arm. Naraku clutched to the stump and growled.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kiyoshi screamed as Naraku put his tentacle through her, narrowly missing piercing her heart. She crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Kurama ran to her as Hiei walked forward, growling softly. He stood in front of Naraku.

"You hurt her, you pathetic half-breed. You hurt her, and now you will PAY!" Naraku's eyes widened as the bandages burned off Hiei's arm.

"Dragon…"

Naraku's eyes widened even more.

"of the…"

He started to back away.

"Darkness…"

He stumbled, barely keeping himself from running.

"FLAME!"

Naraku panicked and ran away, but Hiei's dragon devoured him immediately. Hiei walked over to Kagome and collapsed next to her.

End Dream Sequence

Kagome woke up, sweating. She went into the common room for a glass of water, and was surprised to see Hiei and Kurama sitting in the common room, talking. When Hiei and Kagome's eyes met, they blushed, both remembering the dream. Kurama, seeing this, inwardly smirked.

'Well, well. Maybe with a little kitsune help I'll have a new brother-in-law by the end of the year.' Kurama faked a yawn.

"Well, I'm off to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." With that said he walked over and opened the door to the boys' dormitory. Closing it behind him, he put some of his power into growing plants on the inside of all the exits. He make them strong enough that not even Hiei could break them down, and went up to bed. Hopefully Hiei would open up to her.

They sat there for a few minutes before Kagome yawned.

"I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow, Hiei." Kagome went to the girls' dormitory and tried to open the door.

"It won't budge!" Hiei came up to look at it. Trying the door a few times, then taking out his katana and slashing at it, the door wouldn't budge. Hiei ran downstairs and tried the door to the boys' dorm. It too was locked. Kagome tried the portrait. It was stuck, also. They were trapped. Minutes passed in silence.

"Well… When I was born in this human body that I now occupy, I lost my memory due to the body having the powers of a miko. My life was just about normal until my fifteenth birthday." Kagome said.

"Why are you telling me this?" Hiei asked.

"I want to. Anyway, I was pulled down a well by a centipede youkai. When I got out, I was in feudal Japan. I saw a boy pinned to a tree…" She told Hiei her story and then they fell back into silence. Kagome shifted nervously.

Blink.

Blink.

Blink.

"I was born in the ice world in Makai. My mother was an ice demon, and my father a fire demon. When I was born, they dropped me from the skies, trying to kill me as I was the son of fire and ice, the Forbidden One." Hiei spoke of all the pain and hardship of his life, and by the time he finished, Kagome was curled up next to him, asleep, with a trace of tears on her face. Hiei looked fondly at the girl that managed to get him to open his heart, and fell into a light sleep next to her.

…The next morning…

Kurama came downstairs to see Kagome and Hiei, asleep on the couch. Kurama realized with a shock that Hiei's arms were around Kagome.

"Hiei, Kagome, wake up…"

"Hiei, Kagome, wake up…"

"Hiei, Kagome, WAKE UP!"

"KAGOME! ODEN! HIEI! SWEET SNOW!" That got them up.

"Where!" They said in unison. Realizing where his arms were, a pink tinge went across Hiei's face and he looked away.

"Hn." He said, blushing.

"There is none. I was just waking you up. Sooo… did you have fun last night?" Kurama smirked. Kagome flushed red.

"THAT WAS YOU? I WILL KILL YOU, KURAMA!" and so she proceeded to chase her brother around the room with her Shadow Sword drawn. Her phoenix, who she had fondly named Kage due to his pitch black feathers with silver lining, squawked as she nearly sliced right through the poor bird. After fifteen minutes of amusedly watching from the sidelines, Hiei stopped Kagome.

"Aww, Hiei-kun, I wanted to kill Kurama!" She said in a low voice, giving him Shippo's famous "Fox eyes". Hiei sighed.

"Next time. Let's go to breakfast." He said.

"Okay! Hey, where's Kurama?" She asked.

"He escaped while we were talking."

"Oh. Well, what are we waiting for?" Kagome took Hiei's hand and dragged him down to breakfast.

"Kagome-sama, where have you been lately? We have barely seen your divine face at all." Miroku said, causing Sango to slam him in the head with her Hiraikotsu.

"MIROKU! Stop that! I've been… around."

"Ah, so I see. So, when are we expecting?" He replied.

"Expecting what?"

"Why, the baby of course. We can all see that you've been getting around with Hiei here." He stated.

"MIROKU! I'LL KILL YOU!" She screamed.

"And I think I will join you." Hiei growled through gritted teeth, his hand on his katana. Miroku gulped audibly.

"Um… I gotta go do… um… something as far away from you as possible." He said nervously. The bell rang.

"Okay, bye now!" He ran off as fast as he could. Kagome and Hiei went to leave, but suddenly Kagome stopped in her tracks.

"What is it?" Hiei asked.

"Naraku."
