Okay, since the chapters were like really short, I've decided to join them together. This used to be chapters 2-4. If you've just started to read this, then you'll have no problem!

Thanks to the people who've reviewed!

GabbyFang, Kusai-chan, Ruby pearl, to crazy to sleep, Alaina Neko, Dark-Angel-Kagome, whyamialive37, Ryu-chan the koorime, and Kanna Fan! Thank you!

"I am sorry Lady Kagome, but there was someone at the door." The servant apologized with a deep bow. 'Lady?' Hiei thought with curiosity. 'Why are they calling her lady? She's a ningen.' "Lina, what have I told you about calling me lady?" The girl, Kagome, asked. "I'm sorry la- Kagome." The servant corrected herself.

"See? It's not that hard." The girl turned to Hiei. "Did you need to speak with Sessho? I mean, King Sesshoumaru?" She asked with a smile. 'Sessho?' Hiei was intrigued. "Yes." He answered, not returning the smile.

The girl frowned. "You don't have to be so mean about it." She said, then turned and walked back towards the stairs. "Lina, take him to Sessho's office, then come and finish doing my hair, okay?" With that said, she walked up the stairs and disappeared from view.

'Mean? I talked to her, didn't I? Hn. Stupid ningens.' Hiei thought, then turned and followed the servant. They came to a pair of double doors. The servant opened the doors, bowed, then retreated. Hiei walked a few paces in, bowed just like the servant had done, except not as deep, and then walked further into the room.

King Sesshoumaru was seated behind a large, fancy mahogany desk. The room seemed to be his study. Hiei handed him both the letter and the seal. As soon as he saw the Reikai crest, King Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed.

He quickly read the letter and then looked at Hiei. "From what I could hear, you met my imouto, Kagome. Go tell her to meet me in the entrance hall, and then go alert Koenma that I will be there shortly." King Sesshoumaru told him.

Hiei bowed and then left to do as he was told. 'Imouto?' He thought curiously. Hiei was in fact naturally almost as curious as the fox, except that he had much more control. Although, he looked forward to solving this puzzle.

He followed the ningen's sent and was nearing the top of the stairs, when he heard voices. One was the girl, Kagome, and the other was a young onna's voice. The small girl asked, "Kagome-nee-chan, why do you have a pretty dress on?" "Well, Rin, it's because I'm going on a date." "Can Rin go with nee-chan?" "Sorry Rin, I can't take you this time, but I'll take you next week, how's that?" "Yeah!" Rin cheered.

Hiei knocked on the doorframe, since the door was open. When Kagome said enter Hiei walked into the room. She was sitting at a large vanity table with a ningen of about 10 at her side, Rin, and the hawk youkai servant putting the finishing touches on her now wavy hair.

Kagome turned her head towards him, allowing him to see her wide, blue-gray eyes clearly. "King Sesshoumaru said for you to meet him in the entrance hall." Hiei said calmly.

Kagome smiled, then laughed. After a few seconds, her laughter subsided into sporadic giggles. Rin finally asked what they were all wondering. "What is so funny, nee-chan?"

"He can actually say more than one word in each sentence." "Hn," was all that Hiei said in response. That set her off again, but this time Lina and Rin joined in.

Shaking his head at the craziness of onnas -especially ningen onnas- Hiei left the palace. Once outside the gates, Hiei made a portal to Koenma's office to let him know of the king's decision to visit the Reikai.

They were laughing so hard that they didn't notice the koorime's departure. This time around, the laughter didn't stop until minutes later. "Well, I guess I should go meet Sessho." Kagome said, standing up while rubbing her stomach, which had cramped up with all the laughing.

"Thanks for doing my hair Lina." "It was no problem. Besides, it gave me an excuse for not helping in the kitchen." The hawk youkai said with a smile. "Bye, sweetie. I'll take you to the movies next week, ok?" Kagome told Rin. "Ok. Bye, Kagome-nee-chan." Rin said, hugging her good-bye.

Kagome headed downstairs. Sesshoumaru was already there waiting for her. "It seems like you're not going on that date of yours, imouto." Sesshoumaru said, pretending to be -or at least look- upset about her missed date.

"That's the fourth time in a month that I'll be standing Hojou up." Kagome said. "I thought you didn't like him?" Sesshoumaru asked. "I don't. It's just, he can't seem to take no for an answer." Kagome sighed sadly.

"Well, worry about that later. We have to go see Koenma." Sesshoumaru aid, opening a portal to Reikai. "Why? Is something wrong?" Kagome asked worriedly. "I'm not sure. The note he sent with the koorime said he wanted to meet with me, and to bring you." Sesshoumaru explained.

"Well, we'll never know until we go." Kagome said, stepping into the portal. Sesshoumaru followed, his green portal closing behind him. When they reached Koenma's office, they were met with 6 pairs of eyes looking in their direction.
