Chapter Five: The Troubling Future
Hiei woke from his erotic dream with a start. His breath rushing out of his lungs, the hybrid glanced around the room for a moment before rushing off to the bathroom. Turning on the shower, he threw himself under the ice cold water. Thinking back on the night before, Hiei clearly remembered that everyone had indeed gotten drunk from the demonic alcohol but after an hour of drunken blabbering, everyone including himself passed out. Kagome had fallen on top of him because of Yusuke but after those three flirtatious comments they swapped, Kagome had rolled off of him and attepmted to help Kurama and Yusuke to bed before passing out. The apparition tried to avoid recalling his dream but couldn't stop himself in time.
Images of Kagome moaning beneath him haunted his thoughts. For some reason, Hiei ended up ingesting his entire bottle of alcohol without actually intending to. After he had passed out, his drunken mind formed dreams of the attractive cougar demoness that he couldn't seem to stop thinking about. Growling in irritation at his lack of self control, Hiei shook the thoughts from his mind and exited the shower. Angrily wrapping a towel around his waist, he stepped out of the bathroom only to fall to the ground as someone barreled into him. Glaring up at the individual that chose the worst time to bump into him, Hiei's eyes widened slightly when he saw a half asleep Kagome yawning as she straddled his hips.
"Oh sorry Hiei, I was just looking for the bathroom." she yawned once more as her ears twitched.
"Get off me onna." he growled before standing, not caring that the miko went tumbling to the ground in a heap. Without sticking around long enough to hear her angry banter, Hiei darted off into the forest in search of a lake colder than the shower he had just taken.
"What the hell happened last night?" Yusuke muttered, brushing a hand through his hair just as a throbbing headache made itself present.
"I haven't the slightest clue…" Kurama groaned as he lifted himself off the hard ground.
"We were drinking last night." Kagome answered as she entered the living room with a bright smile.
"So we all got shit faced drunk and only me and Kurama wake up with hang overs?" her cousin complained.
"Well I don't know about Hiei since he disappeared early this morning in a terrible mood but I feel perfectly fine." she grinned.
"That's a bunch of bull shit…" Yusuke grumbled.
"Sadly, I agree." Kurama whined, holding his throbbing head as he attempted to stand.
"I think my purification cleared out my system faster than yours." Kagome explained, not realizing that it was indeed true since she had unknowingly drank demonic alcohol instead of regular sake.
"That's not even fair."
"Where did you say Hiei went?" Kurama asked.
"I'm not sure where he went but he left about two hours ago." the miko demon answered as she lifted the still slumbering Kirara off the couch and into her lap so she could pet her.
"Who cares where the shrimp went? He can take care of himself. I'm just glad we decided to drink last night and not tonight. I wouldn't be going to school tomorrow if I had this hangover." Yusuke complained.
"Tomorrow's our first day back Suke, you're going no matter what." Kagome stated.
"Well then help me get rid of this damn headache."
Kagome spent the entire day taking care of her hung over cousin, Kurama, and Kuwabara once he finally woke up. She wasn't sure why it was taking them so long to recover but she guessed that they probably had a lot more to drink than she did. She was also curious as to where Hiei ran off to so early in the morning. He still hadn't returned to the temple and it was almost dark again. She and Yukina were preparing dinner when she finally felt him approaching the temple grounds. He entered and made his way directly to Yusuke and Kurama in the living room.
Making plates for everyone, Kagome brought all four plates of food into the living room and placed them on the table. Sitting down beside Yusuke, who was laying on the couch still complaining about a headache, she removed the wet cloth from his forehead and placed it on the ground. Kirara mewed and licked his cheek before leaping onto Kagome shoulder as the detective sat up.
"Eat and you'll feel better. You too Kurama." Kagome ordered.
"I'm never drinking that much again…" Yusuke groaned.
"Yea I remember the first time I drank too." Kagome laughed, teasing her cousin.
"Shut up, that wasn't the first time I've drank before." the detective growled.
"Whatever you say Suke."
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for bed? It's about your bed time." he snapped.
"I'm not 10 anymore." she growled in irritation.
"You sure look like you are." Hiei snorted.
"What's your deal? You think you can just barge in here whenever you want and start insulting me?" she snarled, her ears pinned against her skull in anger. Kirara growled at the hybrid and hissed.
"You don't scare me onna, and neither does that oversize mouse."
"We'll see about that once I'm through with you. You'll be shaking in your midget sized clothes in no time." she growled as she got to her feet so quickly that Kirara almost fell off her shoulder. Before she could get to the hybrid though, Kurama grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down to the ground.
"Please relax Kagome. The food is wonderful, you should eat as well."
Huffing in defeat, the miko turned a deadly glare toward Hiei before shoving her fork in her mouth. After dinner, everyone went to their separate rooms and passed out for the night. Their first day of school was the next day and they needed a good nights sleep considering the night they had before.
Kagome waited impatiently for Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama to finish getting ready. She was almost positive that she would have been the last one ready for school that morning but that definitely wasn't the case. She and Hiei were the ones waiting at the door for the others because they had woken up late. Kagome huffed as she spotted Yusuke dash into the bathroom. Crossing her arms over her chest, the miko's tail whipped back and forth under her skirt. Unfortunately, she didn't know her tail was hoisting her skirt up high enough for Hiei to see her black panties under her dark blue skirt.
"Onna… conceal your tail." Hiei growled, averting his attention before the miko could see his blush.
Realizing what Hiei was trying to point out, Kagome wrapped her tail around her waist under her skirt just as Yusuke reached her side.
"Kags, are you having trouble with your tail?"
"I was cutting holes in all my outfits for my tail but I couldn't do it for my uniform. People would wonder why I have a hole in the back of my skirt…" the miko explained.
"Good point… well maybe Genkai can put a concealment spell on you for today until she can teach you to conceal them yourself." Yusuke murmured before running off to find the old woman. He returned with her at his side several minutes later.
"I will only do this today. You are to learn this spell tonight because you're on your own from tomorrow on." The psychic stated before closing her eyes and chanting under her breath. Suddenly, Kagome's ears disappeared. Smiling her thanks, Kagome hugged Genkai tightly before making her way out the door with the guys following behind her. Kirara trotted beside her until they reached the stairs. Kagome tweaked the neko's ear affectionately before making her way down the steps. When they finally reached school property, Kagome immediately felt like a sore thumb.
From the glares and lustful gazes she was receiving from the students they passed, Kagome could tell that everyone knew she was new. Majority of the female population glared at her as if they were plotting her demise while the males would stare at her like a piece of meat. Some even had the nerve to smirk and wink at her. Kagome blushed darkly and pushed herself closer to the spirit detectives, not noticing the deadly glare Hiei was sending to every student that looked at her wrong.
Making their way straight to the office, everyone received their schedules and checked to see if anyone had classes together. According to the sheets of paper in their hands, they all had lunch together thankfully. Yusuke and Kuwabara had majority of their classes together and Hiei and Kurama shared several of the same classes as well. Kagome's wavered amongst the four of them, sharing some classes with Hiei and Kurama and a few with her cousin and his goofy friend. The only class she had by herself was gym but the miko wasn't too worried.
Glancing at the time, Yusuke wished his little cousin luck before darting off to his first class with Kuwabara. Kurama smiled down at Kagome and offered to escort her to her first class. Kagome smiled her thanks even though she didn't need the kitsune to lead her to the room seeing as Hiei had the same class as her. Deciding to just go along, Kagome followed both demons down the crowded halls. Once they found the classroom, Kurama bid them farewell at the door before disappearing into the crowd.
Glancing up at Hiei, Kagome rolled her eyes at the usual scowl on his face and entered the room. Spotting two seats at the back of the class, Kagome dropped her things at the side of the desk before sliding into the seat. Hiei casually followed suit and occupied the seat next to her before resting his head on his desk and closing his eyes. Shaking her head at his antics, Kagome glanced around the room. She was slightly disturbed by the amount of deadly glares she was receiving and quickly realized why all the girls were acting so hostile toward her. They all thought the guys she hung out with were hot!
There was no doubt that Kurama and Hiei were sexy and Kagome was sure that girls found her good looking cousin attractive so she wasn't surprised that she seemed to be the most hated being in the entire building. From the dreamy looks several of the girls were sending in Hiei's direction, Kagome almost couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't hold it back any longer once Hiei lifted his head off his desk only to glare daggers at her.
'What do you find so amusing onna.' the hybrid demanded, his voice echoing through her mind.
'These poor girls… I can smell and hear how badly they want you yet they don't know how much of a psychotic dwarf you are.' Kagome giggled, covering her face with her hands.
'Do not assume that I will not harm you merely because of our current location.' Hiei growled, his glare intensifying.
'You crack me up! You actually think you scare me! Oh goodness stop Hiei, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!' the miko laughed, holding her stomach. She didn't care that all the other students probably thought she was insane for laughing at nothing in particular. They couldn't hear the hilarious conversation that was being shared through telepathy.
'Miko, control yourself before I am forced to make you silent.' Hiei snarled, only causing the cougar to laugh harder. Luckily for the giggling neko demon, the teacher stepped into the classroom at that moment. Kagome took a deep breath and held in her laughter as the teacher took control of the classroom.
Kagome nearly leapt out of her seat when the bell rang. Gathering her things, she rushed out the door, not even bothering to wait for Hiei and quickly made her way to her next class. Entering the room, she took a seat at the back of the class and waited for whoever she had the class with. She closed her eyes and concentrated on locating everyone's auras. Hiei seemed to be making his way in her direction as well as Kurama but Yusuke and Kuwabara were heading in the opposite direction that she was in.
Just as she predicted, Kurama and Hiei walked in together. Kurama smiled toward her but Hiei turned a deadly glare at her that caused her to shiver slightly. Before either of them could reach her, a boy with dark brown hair stepped in front of her line of vision and grabbed her attention. Turning her gaze up toward the decent looking male before her, Kagome smiled.
"Can I help you?" she asked, hoping that he had made some mistake and would just leave her alone.
"Yes actually, you see there is this beautiful new girl at school and I just can't seem to think of what to say to her." he said with a smile.
"Oh well umm…."
"Kagome, you saved seats for us. How sweet of you." Kurama smiled as he sat two seats away from her, allowing Hiei to take the seat next to the miko.
"No problem at all Kurama. Hiei are you alright?" she asked, trying to avoid the boy that was still standing in front of her desk.
Before answering, Hiei turned a deadly glare to the dark haired boy, successfully scaring the wits out of him and causing him to sit at the front of the room rather than the empty seat to Kagome's right. "You left me to deal with those blood thirsty females." he snarled, turning his glare back at her.
Both Kagome and Kurama burst into laughter. Kagome knew there were lots of girls that found Hiei attractive but she didn't actually think they would approach him. "What happened?"
"Once you escaped the room, they attacked me." he growled.
"Attacked you how?" Kurama questioned, holding his laughter back.
"Asking meaningless and irritating questions. I might kill a human today."
"You can't do that Hiei, Koenma will not be happy." Kurama reasoned.
"Yea munchkin, relax." Kagome giggled.
"Perhaps I will kill you instead." Hiei snapped.
"We've been through this before Hiei… I'm not scared of you."
"You will be in due time onna."
"Can't you two get along for once?" Kurama complained.
"Ask the crazy midget. I can be nice, he's just plain cruel. Not a single nice joint in that tiny body of his." Kagome muttered just as the teacher stepped into class.
"It's not only Hiei, Kagome, it's you as well." Kurama whispered.
"Psh whatever fox boy." Kagome snorted.
Kurama merely shook his head. From the looks of it, those two would never get along and everyone would just have to deal with that. As long as Hiei and Kagome remained serious on their missions and in important situations then it didn't really matter if they hated each other or not.
Classes were slow the first day and finally, Kagome was making her way to gym. It was the one class she was looking forward to and could barely keep herself from running to the locker rooms. Once the teacher gave her a locker number and the combination along with her gym uniform, she skipped off to her locker and changed before joining the rest of her class in the gym. They were all ordered to go outside and jog four laps around the track before coming back inside for dodgeball. Making her way outside, Kagome felt something brush against her aura for a moment. Shrugging, the miko jogged to the track and did her laps.
Once she was finished, she walked back toward the gym but stopped in her tracks when she felt that same feeling from before. Spreading her aura toward where the feeling was coming from, she couldn't figure out what was trying to grab her attention. Curious, she glanced around to be sure no one saw her sneak off around the building. Once the coast was clear, she followed the odd aura that seemed to be calling for her assistance. She eventually found herself behind the school in the tall grass. Now on her guard just in case it was some type of trap, the miko continued toward the aura she could feel.
It didn't take her long to find the source of what she was searching for and once she saw it, the miko rushed to its side. There lying on the ground covered in blood was a small boy. Once she was closer, Kagome was surprised to see the boy had furry black ears on top of his head. His red shirt was torn and the miko could clearly see the long wound across the boy's back. Examining his aura closer, Kagome found that he was full demon and barely alive. What was a demon child doing here? And what happened to him?
Shaking the millions of questions out of her head, Kagome carefully lifted the wounded boy into her arms and darted off toward Genkai's using her demonic speed. Her demonic traits may be concealed from being seen but her powers could still be used. The type of concealment Genkai had placed on her didn't seal her powers as other types of concealment spells could. This spell was merely used to cover her physical demonic traits. As she rushed to Genkai's, the small boy whimpered in his sleep and fisted the material of Kagome's gym uniform. Growing more worried, she picked up her pace. Finally reaching the top of the stairs, she was relieved to see Yukina outside cleaning.
"Yukina! Quick, you have to help me with this boy." Kagome yelled as she rushed into the temple and straight to the living room. The ice maiden followed her quickly, grabbing first aid supplies as she went just in case they were needed. Kagome tried to lay the boy on the couch but he refused to let go of her shirt. Deciding she had no time to loosen the boy's grip, the miko merely sat down with him in her lap. Yukina kneeled beside her and placed her hands over the boy's chest.
"What happened?" Yukina asked as she pushed her healing powers into the boy's body.
"I'm not sure, I just found him like this." Kagome explained. Kirara arrived and leapt onto the couch, staring down at the injured boy curiously.
"Well his wound isn't too serious. He seems to be in more shock than anything else. Though if you had taken any longer to get him here, he might have died of blood loss." Yukina explained.
Kagome sighed. "I know… I felt that he was barely hanging on."
"I wonder what happened to him…" Yukina pondered, now staring at the boy intently.
Suddenly the boy's eyes peeked open for just a moment. Both Kagome and Yukina's eyes widened at the sight they saw before the boy's eyes closed once more. His grip on Kagome's shirt tightened as he buried himself further against her. "Mama..." he whimpered before falling unconscious once more.
"Kagome… is it just me or does this boy look oddly similar to Hiei?" Yukina muttered, staring at the boy more closely now.
"Yea… his eyes look exactly like your's and Hiei's." Kagome muttered, staring at the boy as well.
Shrugging their shoulders, Yukina stood and announced that she had to finish her chores before disappearing out the door. Kagome attempted to remove the boy's grip from her shirt once more but found it near impossible without tearing his arms off. Sighing to herself, Kagome stretched out across the couch with the boy on her chest. Draping her arm over him and smiling toward Kirara as the neko settled herself on the boy's back; she closed her eyes and accepted the fact that she wasn't going to make it back to school that day.
The guys were panicking. Kagome had gone missing and didn't tell anyone. They didn't think much of it during the first two classes she was missing from but once they noticed she wasn't at lunch with them, everyone made their way out of the school. Trying to figure out what class she had when she disappeared, they made their way to the gym since it was the only class she didn't have with any of them. Following her scent they picked up near the track, they eventually found themselves at the back of the school. Confused and now even more worried than before, they frantically followed her scent until another scent mixed with hers.
It was the smell of a male… they were so panicked over Kagome's safety that they didn't realize that it was the smell of a young child. But with their minds racing, they all followed the two scents and soon ended up at Genkai's temple. Now they were only more confused. What the hell was happening? Following the miko's scent into the temple, everyone was relieved to find the cougar sleeping on the couch in the living room. Noticing the small boy asleep on her chest, they glanced at each other in question.
Making his way over to his cousin, Yusuke shook Kagome's shoulder softly. Opening her eyes, the miko smiled up at him. "Hey Suke."
"Who's the kid?" he asked, ignoring her greeting.
Rolling her eyes at his manners, Kagome sat up and was surprisingly able to remove the boy's grip from her shirt. Sighing in relief, she placed him down on the couch and stood. Kirara leapt down and trotted off down the hall to nap somewhere more quiet. "I found him behind the school. He was wounded so I brought him here."
"Kags, he's a demon." Yusuke pointed out.
"I'm aware of that." she growled, irritated that her cousin apparently thought she was not only blind but stupid as well.
"His parents are gunna be looking for him!" Kuwabara stated quite loudly. The boy whimpered in his sleep slightly and Kagome turned a deadly glare at the tall man.
"Shut up! If you wake him I'll beat the living crap out of you." she growled under her breath.
"Kagome, you have to take him back!" Yusuke explained.
"I'm not going to leave him there! He was hurt! What if he got hurt again?!" she growled.
"It doesn't matter! His parents are probably looking for him!" Yusuke argued.
"His parents can follow our scents just like you guys did! I'm not leaving a defenseless child out there by himself!" Kagome snarled.
"Mommy? Daddy?" Everyone's attention was brought to the small child now fully awake and looking terrified out of his mind. Backing away from them, the boy stared at them with wide crimson eyes until he saw Hiei. Upon seeing the apparition, he seemed to relax slightly. Standing from the couch, he made his way over to the hybrid and fisted his small hands into the material of Hiei's pants. Everyone stared at the boy in complete surprise but their mouths dropped open at what the boy said next.
"Daddy, who are these people?"
Hiei stared down at the boy in complete shock. This kid thought he was his dad? "I am not your father." Hiei said bluntly.
"Oh, I forgot…" the boy murmured to himself as a calculated look appeared on his cute face.
"Sweetie, where are your parents?" Kagome asked, kneeling so she was level with the boy.
The boy with ruby colored eyes so similar to Hiei's turned his gaze up to the woman he had thought was his mother. She looked very much like her but upon seeing her now that he was fully conscious; it was obvious that she had different features than his mother. "They're dead." he muttered sadly.
Kagome turned a brief glare to her cousin before turning her gaze back to the boy. "What happened?"
"They were killed… but I was sent back to fix everything." he smiled sadly.
"What do you mean kid?" Yusuke asked.
"Mommy sent me back in time so that I could save the future." he explained.
Confused, everyone stared at the boy as if he were crazy. Well he must have lost his marbles at some point because he was still holding onto Hiei's pants.
"Do you mean to tell us that you are from the future?" Kurama questioned.
The boy stared at Kurama for a moment before smiling. "So mommy's spell did work... you're uncle Kurama."
Now everyone was beyond confused. How did this kid know Kurama? And why did he think Hiei was his father? Even though the boy did look very similar to the hybrid…
"So are you saying that your mother sent you to this time to save the future? What happens in the future that is so terrible?" Kagome questioned.
"The barrier between Makai and the human realm is destroyed and mommy and daddy are killed."
Shocked, everyone was now more interested in what the boy had to say. If the barrier is destroyed then that means someone in the future destroys Reikai.
"Mommy told me to find her and father in the past and help them stop Kuragari." the boy continued to explain.
"And you think Hiei is your father?" Yusuke asked.
"He is my father." the boy confirmed after glancing up at the apparition once more.
Everyone, including Hiei, stared at the boy in shock. In the future, Hiei had a kid?
"Mommy said that her past self would be near daddy's past self… but I don't see her…" the boy murmured as he looked around the room.
"Don't worry sweetie, we'll help you find your mommy." Kagome smiled. "What's your name?"
"Taro…" he murmured.
"Well Taro, you don't have to worry ok? We'll help your parents save the future." Yusuke grinned.
"Thank you… but daddy, how come mommy's not with you?" Taro asked, staring up at Hiei.
The hybrid was speechless. He didn't know how to take all of this. He had a kid? He had a mate? And from what the boy was saying, they were killed by some demon that takes over the world?
"Hey Taro, how about I make you something to eat?" Kurama asked, knowing the boy would trust him since he recognized him as his uncle.
The boy nodded in excitement and skipped off after the avatar. Before Kagome could discuss anything with the guys, Genkai dragged her off to learn the spell to keep her demonic features hidden. The old woman also wanted to know what was going on since she only caught the tail end of the conversation in her living room. After a thorough explanation and an hour of learning the different spells of how to conceal her ears, claws, tail, fangs, tanned skin, aura, power, and unique eye color, Genkai announced that she was being put to the test and had to maintain her concealment for an entire week straight.
Once Genkai let her go, Kagome reentered the living room to find everyone gone except for Hiei and Taro. Taro was asleep in Hiei's lap and the poor hybrid looked extremely uncomfortable. Shaking her head, Kagome made her way over to him and lifted the boy out of his lap. She knew that it would definitely take time for Hiei to accept the fact that he had a kid. The future Hiei had the entire pregnancy process to learn affection, not to mention he probably fell in love with the child once it was born. Lying on the couch, Kagome pulled the boy against her chest and wrapped her arms around him before closing her eyes and quickly falling asleep with the slightly saddened thought that Hiei ended up with someone else that wasn't her in the future.
Hiei remained where he was and stared at the miko and small boy. He had a mate in the future and it wasn't Kagome? Hiei had immediately thought that Kagome was his future mate when the boy proclaimed that he was his father, especially since the child had Kagome's cougar ears but once the boy said that his mother wasn't in the room, Hiei was lost. So he met another female in the future? And they mated and had a child? He met another female that he liked as much as he did Kagome? At that exact moment, the hybrid realized just how much he liked the miko. He recalled all the human males he had glared at during school for merely looking at Kagome and now he understood why he'd reacted like he had.
Kagome was so different… she had a fire to her that he was no doubt attracted to and she was just like him. She was a forbidden and it was obvious that she didn't care about what he was. She had actually defended him when Kouga insulted him before the final showdown against Naraku. And she seemed to enjoy irritating him just as much as he enjoyed riling her up. Hiei shook his head as he averted his gaze from Kagome and Taro. He was far too tired to think this over at the moment. A few hours of sleep should help him clear his head and think straight. With that thought in mind, Hiei made his way to a nearby closet and covered Kagome and Taro with a blanket before settling himself on the window sill for a light nap.
