Somewhere

A figure covered with shadow hid in a corner of an ally, watching as its prey walked by without seeing it or even sensing its presence. The dark figure tensed when it saw one of the two females stop walking along with one of the other males with her and look towards the ally where the figure hid. The other girl called the still one's name, causing the one who stood still to turn back towards the couple ahead of her and the male that was with her. Taking one last look towards the ally, both the female and male were out of sight. The shadowed figure sighed in relief that it wasn't found out. Placing a smirk on its own lips, it walked further into the ally until it came to a dead end. Turning its head to the left, it stepped out of the shadows into the little amount of light that was at the ally's end. The light revealed a young man around Kaiba's age with fiery red hair that was short and spike up. The light reflected off of his dark orange eyes as he looked around the ally as if he was searching for something, or someone. The soft wind blew his black trench coat and loose black slacks, but the midnight blue muscle shirt he wore didn't move to the wind. "About time you got here," a voice like velvet thunder spoke from the boy's right. He turned to see someone leaning against the wall dressed in a blood red shirt that hugged his chest and leather pants that grabbed his upper legs but loosened as it got down to his lower leg. His face was not seen except for his lips.

"Well," the young man said, "it's not easy finding someone in particular in this big city. You should know that."

"True, but I know this city like the back of my hand. So, what information have you found?"

"She's with a guy and her little bodyguard sensed me along with her boyfriend's pet. It won't be easy to get her, you know."

"Why do you think that I hired you? I heard that you are the best at any crime. Remember, bring that girl to me and you'll get what you want, Hiro."

Hiro scoffed. It was true. This person had taken something important from him and if he didn't do as he was told, then he would never get it back. "I'm curious," Hiro calmly stated. "Is this what you were like in your past life? Someone who hid in the shadows while he sent other to do his dirty work?"

"If you know what is good for you, then you will be silent. After all, I am more powerful than yourself, no matter what kind of demon you are."

"I don't even understand how you can have memories of your past life. That's completely impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. I hold a grudge. My grudge kept my spirit alive, full of memories, until I was finally reborn. I just played along as the perfect son until I was powerful enough to settle this score."

"Whatever. But why use me? Why not do it yourself?"

"Because," the other male said as he lifted his back off the wall and stepped closer to the light, "I had a feeling that we were meant to work together." The light hit him, showing the fact that he had straight, pitch black hair that went to his shoulders and piercing red eyes.

"That's bullshit. If it wasn't for what you took from me, I would have never agreed to work for you, Naraku." With that, he turned and walked off.

"Even if I didn't have it, you would still work for me." Shadows engulfed Naraku and when they dispersed, he was completely gone without any trace that he was ever there. "I just have a feeling," his voice echoed through the ally walls.

With Kaiba and Kagome

"What was wrong, Kiashi?" Kagome asked her dragon. "Normally, you don't just stop like that."

"I just thought that I sensed something, or someone familiar, that's all," Kiashi answered.

"Yeah, I sensed it too," Jikoru agreed.

"And what was it?" Kaiba asked the dragons, who both carried an unsure look upon their faces.

"Not entirely sure, yet," Kiashi replied. "But it just felt familiar and full of malice. I don't know what it was, but maybe it wasn't there at all. Maybe Jikoru and I are just being paranoid."

"I'm with her," Jikoru stated.

"The whole time I've known you, Kiashi, you have never been paranoid," Kagome pointed out. "Usually when you sense something, it's there."

"Has she ever been wrong?" Kaiba asked the miko.

"No, never."

"Never say 'never', Kagome," Jikoru said. "Because there's a first time for everything."

"If she was being paranoid, then how did you sense what she sensed."

"Don't know. Just did, I guess."

Kagome looked at the White Light curiously, but before she could open her mouth to say something against what he said, Kiashi sent a stare that just demanded for the young miko to drop it. Turning her head the opposite direction to look at Kaiba, she smiled and said, "So what can we do now?"

Kaiba looked back at her and replied, "I can't think of anything right now. Maybe we should head back to the mansion and just take a break for the day."

Resting her head on his shoulder, Kagome nodded in agreement. As of late, she was never one to show how tired she gets. She doesn't want to be treated like a little girl who was weak and lost in the big bad world. Being treated like that really got on the miko's nerves. Kaiba didn't tense up or anything, but just wrapped his arm around her waist. "How about we go out to eat later on?" Kaiba asked the miko, who only nodded in reply.

Later on that night

"I win," Kiashi said, showing what she held.

"Aw, come on, Kiashi," Kagome said. "Give us a break. It's been a while since I last played."

"Look on the bright side," Jikoru stated. "At least we aren't playing with money or we'll be in trouble. Hey, Kaiba! Why don't you join us?"

"Thanks, but no thanks," Kaiba replied. "I don't play poker."

"What? Afraid you'll lose?" Kiashi taunted.

"No, I just don't like the game," Kaiba said back.

"Whatever."

"Well," Kagome said, "I'm tired so I'm hitting the sack."

"Think I will as well," Kaiba said. They both walked up the stairs to the rooms, leaving the two dragons to themselves.

Jikoru looked over to Kiashi, who seemed like she was in deep thought. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"When Kagome and I first got here," Kiashi began, "I sensed something. It was a strange presence that I haven't felt in a while, so I couldn't place it. But it felt familiar to me. I sensed that presence again today. I don't know who or what it is, but I've been sensing it a lot. Something might be going on so we have to be on our guard and stay near our masters. Since it seems to be following Kagome, I know that it's after her. Whether it is friend or foe, I don't know. I know you sensed it this afternoon, Jikoru. Don't bother denying it."

"I did feel it, but I don't know what it was. One thing's for sure, it wasn't human." Kiashi nodded in agreement. She, too, felt that it wasn't human, so she had to stay on guard, and the same with Jikoru. "Let's talk about this some other time," Jikoru suggested, snapping Kiashi out of her train of thought and making her look at him curiously. "And let's play another round before going down ourselves." Kiashi once again nodded and continued to play poker with the White Light.

Morning (I'm skipping around a lot, aren't I?)

Kagome's eyes slowly open, only to snap close from the sun shining into them. She groaned as she rolled over to her other side. "Kagome!" a familiar voice called out.

Kagome covered her head and said, "Kagome's not here, Mokuba. Try again some other time please."

"If you're not there, then how can you talk to me?" Mokuba asked.

"Rephrase: I'm not here mentally. I'm still in dream land."

"I bet big brother is with you in your dream land," the young boy teased.

Kagome shot up and said, "Mokuba, please don't tease me like that. Tea and the dragons tease me enough. For all I know, they started a Tease Kagome Club."

"If they did, I'll join!"

"And here I thought you were my friend."

"Friends tease other friends."

"Who told you that?"

"Kiashi and Jikoru."

"Why did I even bother asking?" she groaned. She fell back onto the bed and said, "Wake me when summer's over."

"Why then?"

"Because if I wake up then, I won't get too hot."

Mokuba narrowed his eyes when Kagome pulled the covers over her head again, but grinned slyly before saying, "Okay." He went out the door and headed towards the living room where the dragons were. When he found them, he asked Kiashi, "How did you usually wake up Kagome?"

Kiashi looked at him and replied, "I didn't. Souta, her younger brother, did. He found it as his job. And before you ask, he does random things. Try the bucket of ice cold water poured onto her. That would wake her up, but be prepared to run. She doesn't like that one very much, but it will keep her up for a few hours."

Mokuba nodded and went to get a bucket of water. He went into Kagome's room when he had it half way full and dumped it on her head. He dropped the bucket beside her bed and ran down the hall, laughing all the way while Kagome chased after him. "Just wait till I get you, Mokuba!" Seto looked out into the hall when he saw a couple of blurs run by his open door and spotted Kagome tickling Mokuba mercilessly. The younger Kaiba brother was laughing so hard that not only were tears coming out of his eyes, but he was also having a hard time breathing. When Kagome stopped, she engulfed Mokuba into a hug and whispered into his ear, "Thanks. You remind me of Souta so much." Mokuba smiled and nodded. When she released him, they got up and Mokuba ran towards the living room to bother the dragons.

"I have two questions," Kaiba's voice said from behind Kagome. "One: why is your hair wet? And two: what was that all about? First you're tickling him, and then you hug him."

Kagome turned around to face him with a small smile on her face and said quietly, "He pour cold water on me so I would wake up. My little brother, Souta, used to do that sometimes before he died. Mokuba just reminded me, so I thanked him for it. I keep on thinking that I'll forget everything my family does or something we all did together. I guess it's a phobia of mine." Kagome lowered her head as tears started to stream down her face. Kaiba pulled her closer to himself when he saw a tear fall from her face and held her. Kagome buried her face into his chest and started to sob. A few minutes passed before the young miko finally stopped sobbing and pulled a bit away from Kaiba. "Thanks. I guess I should hold something in for so long, huh?"

Kaiba nodded and said, "Next time you want to talk about anything, don't keep it inside. If you want to talk about it, I'm all ears."

Kagome nodded and pecked Kaiba on the lips before saying, "I better go dry off and change now. Be down for breakfast later." The duelist nodded and Kagome left to her room.

Kaiba leaned his back against the wall and placed his hand on his forehead. "Kagome," he whispered to himself. "You have no idea what you do to me."
