Bonds formed

Hiei's POV

'I don't know what is more unbelievable, the girls story or the way she just confided in all of us. The girl must truly be a fool.' Even as I thought though I knew it wasn't correct. She went from being a normal carefree human to a miko fighting demons on a daily basis in such a short time. She had seen demons at their worst and humans at their worst, she had killed and she had watched those closest to her die. After all of what she has been through she still can sit like that and share her whole story with a bunch of complete strangers. I looked over at the fox and saw that he was deep in thought most likely talking with his counterpart Yoko. Yusuke had big eyes and was staring at the girl with a look of complete disbelief.

"Okay so what happened to the Sacred Jewel after you and the Sesshomaru guy defeated Naraku, you didn't say." He asked with a look of complete concentration, a look I was not used to seeing on his face. It seemed the detective was no longer the complete fool I thought him to be, of course he is still a fool in my eyes.

"You caught on to that did you. The Sacred Jewel is back with me where it was before the centipede demon tore out from my body." As she said this I saw her grab a spot on her lower stomach right above her hip. She had a slight smile, which signified that she was lost in thought.

"Why is it that you told all of us about your travels and about all of your adventures?" Yusuke asked and I was still slightly shocked at how the idiot detective was actually using his brain. 'Hell must have frozen over' I thought with slight amusement. The only problem truly is to why Kurama is choosing to remain quiet. Unless the fox has some feelings for the girl.

"Well you said that you wouldn't leave until you got your answers and now that you have them you can leave. Plus it's not like I need to fear you, I have Sai (it means remember)." She said with a slight smile. Who was she talking about there was no one here except for the small cat that had curled in her lap half way through her story.

"Just who the hell is Sai?" Yusuke asked, no longer acting intelligent. It seems that he was starting to let his guard down which is not a good thing. Some thing about how she said she had Sai, that didn't sound right.

"This is Sai." She pointed to the small cat in her lap. I used my Jagan to study the cat; I found a demonic aura small but had great potential. It was small had two tails and was manly black. There was a red star on its forehead, its feat were red and there was a red ring around the end of its tail (Think Kirara except red were she has black, and black where she is cream colored, same eyes.). There is more to the cat than meets the eyes.

"Is that a Water-Ice-Cat demon (In first chapter it says Fire-Ice-Cat, but that is a miss print.)." Kurama asked as he studied the cat with his head tilted to the side.

I wandered what could be so special about that kind of cat and almost went into the foxes mind to ask but thought better of it as Kagome stood up.

"Yes, he is. Now that you have the answers to your questions and have heard my story, you should leave." She gave a small look that left no room for argument. We all stood up and followed her to the door, she held it open at the second we were through it slammed shut behind us. We started walking away, when we reached the bottom of the stairs we heard a large noise that sounded like a small explosion had taken place. We all turned around and started running up the stairs.

When we reached the stairs we ran past the God Tree, to the back of the house where we found Kagome her arrow in her hand and she was facing a target. The target and a huge burn in it, and a tree behind it had been knocked down. There was more to her than she even hinted at. This girl was more interesting than I had at first believed.

Kagome's POV

After Shuichi, Yusuke and the demon that I had no idea as to how to identify left I was mad. Why couldn't I just live a normal life, yes I want to see Sesshomaru again but I don't want to have to worry about running into demons every day for the rest of my life. I went out back and started practicing with my bow and arrow, but mad as I was I hired one with a little too much power in it. The arrow went through the target and hit the tree, the base of the tree blew apart and it fell backward. A moment later the trio came running up, Sai must have realized that I didn't want them there for he transformed. There was a blast of what looked like blue flames and then Sai jumped out and went in front of the boys and growled. The shock on their faces was enough for me to laugh at, and I did I laughed and I couldn't stop not even when I felt all of their stunned gazes upon me. I needed to laugh it had been far too long since the last time I had found something to laugh about. When I had settled down a bit I looked up to see a none transformed Sai right before and three very confused boys looking at me with some of the strangest expressions that I have ever seen.

"What the hell is so funny?" The loud mouthed boy asked me. I just smiled as a thought occurred to me. If they knew my story why shouldn't I know theirs.

"Oh, its nothing. You know I'm glad you three came back because now that you know my story I think it would only be fair if I knew all of yours." I said allowing a small smile to cross my face. Yusuke didn't like he really cared and neither did Shuichi. The short unnamed demon on the other hand turned and started to leave so I put up a small little barrier around the shrine. He didn't see it though till it was too late, and he walked straight into it. The barrier then through him back twenty feet. I winced at the impact but was very impressed when he promptly picked himself up as if he had only tripped or something. He gave me a glare and I couldn't help but smile.

"Well you can't leave into I get my answers. Didn't you all say something a kin to that when you first came here?" I asked looking as innocent as I could manage and I found great joy in seeing the glare turned towards Yusuke who just smiled as he rubbed the pack of neck. They all walked over to me, it appeared they didn't like the idea of them staying almost as much as I.

"Well I guess you could say that it all started the day I died.." Yusuke told his story he was followed by Shuichi. When the short demons turn came he just glared and maybe after an hour he told his story. As hard to believe my story is, theirs was the same. It was nice to have proof that I'm not the only messed up teen. I then looked at the clock it was late my family would be home soon and I didn't want to have to explain everything to them, that and I hadn't finished all of my homework.

"Its late you all should get going." I said none of them seemed to have realized as they all got up and hurried to leave.

Before he left though Yusuke turned to me and told me that tomorrow after school they would met up with me along with the other member of their group and I was a little less than happy to hear that.

They next day

I woke up at dawn just like I always did and started getting ready for school, today was Friday and I had no idea what the weekend would bring me. If yesterday was an example than maybe I should worry. Although Shuichi, Yusuke and Hiei didn't seem to be bad people, or I guess in some cases demons. I had known that they didn't mean any harm the moment they had set foot on the shrine grounds. I started reading a book based on the theory of time travel, none of it seemed to make any sense when I compared it to my experiences. It didn't matter though I still had an hour and a half before I need to leave for school so I was really just trying to kill time.

The book must have been for interesting than I thought for what seemed like a moment later my brother, Sota, was yelling at me saying I need to leave for school. I ran to school and found that I was yet again early so I headed to class in hopes of talking the teacher into giving me the assignment early so that I would have as much homework not that it was really hard any way. He agreed and I started working, it must have been a while later for when I was nearly done someone grabbed my shoulder. I stopped writing and looked over to see Shuichi smiling and looking perky.

"So tell me do I call you Shuichi or Kurama?" I asked hoping to make conversation. I think I did for he paused to look at me, he then blinked and his smile got just a little bigger.

"Call me Shuichi whenever some one who doesn't know my secret is around other wise you are more than welcome to call me Kurama." It made sense and was about to comment further when the school bell rang and he went to his seat. The rest of the students came in and class started. Nothing else really seemed to happen that day until English. Well it was after English because we had gotten our story outlines back. I asked Kaitou what his was and we spent the rest of the period talking about them and giving each other ideas. When the bell rang I went to grab my bag when Kaitou called my name and asked if I could wait for a moment.

"Kagome tomorrow Dan Brown his coming to talk about how he gathers and develops the ideas for his books, and I was wondering if you would go with me." He asked and looked rather uncomfortable, I don't think that he has ever asked a girl out before.

"I would love to." I said giving him a smile and we then walked to outside together. Today certainly seemed great all that was really left was to see what my next meeting with Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei and whoever they were with would be like. Lunch was uneventful, Yuri had been most curious as to what I had been talking about with Kaitou. All the girls and teased me slightly and asked as to how excited I was. Physics wasn't a very fun class, Kurama was almost mean to Kaitou. Not in words but some of the glances were cold enough to make an ice cube feel hot. Our group was tense and quiet. I was most happy for that to be over and extremely happy that nothing else took place for the rest of the day.

When school was over I stayed behind to talk to my psychology teacher about the day's lesson than started leaving. When I exited the school I looked ahead to see Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, a girl with blue hair and a very tall ugly boy with orange hair and an Elvis style hair cut. I didn't know what to make of the Blue haired girls aura it felt oddly like death she could be Botan and Botan was the grim reapers so that made since. The ugly boy would probably be Kuwabara and his aura was innocent, well more innocent than normal teens our age. Kuwabara probably is the type with a strong moral code, I didn't like those types because they tend to think that girls can't fight. When I finally reached them Yusuke made the introductions, I had been right with their names.

Botan then opened a portal that she said would lead to Koenma, who was looking forward to meeting me. I was nervous I had just met her and really didn't like the look of the portal but I went through any way. I was surprised when on the other side of the portal I saw a toddler sitting behind the desk. 'Yusuke wasn't kidding when he said he the ruler of Spirit World was a baby.' I tried not to laugh, then I looked to behind him to the left and saw some one I wasn't expecting.

Kurama POV

Yusuke and I were about to follow Kagome through the portal when Botan closed it. We both turned to look at her and she just smiled and tried to look innocent which never looks natural on her.

"Sorry guys, but Koenma thought it would be best if she met some one from her past with out all of us here so be patient. When we can come Koenma will call us." She then backed away and made sure that no one in the area could see us before she started walking around to the back of the school as we followed after her.

More than anything I wanted to have Kagome alone so that I could try and talk her out of her date with Kaitou. I just don't understand what she could see in him. Kaitou is nice, intelligent and with out a doubt hard working but Kagome is much more. She is strong almost to the point it doesn't make any sense. Yoko was furious and the moment it was apparent that Kaitou was going to ask Kagome out he had tried to break through and kill Kaitou. It had been hard to hold him back so I had hurried to lunch and went as far from the school as was allowed to give Yoko time to settle down. He still hadn't settled down, his soul was restless inside of me and the quiet was almost eerie. It wasn't like Yoko to not state his displeasure.

Hiei POV

When I saw how agitated Kurama was I used the Jagan to enter his mind and surprised to hind that the reason as to why he is so upset is that Kagome had agreed to go on a date with Kaitou. I stopped to think and realized that my hands were shaking.

There was something wrong with that girl, never had I felt jealous over something as trivial as a mere human going out with another mere human. Never had I ever had strong feelings for a woman demon or human before, so why now? What is it about this Kagome that makes her so special? I have to admit that there is something calming about her that I have never felt before, even when I am with my sister Yukina I still can always feel something negative, but with Kagome there is nothing bad only a feeling of serenity. I also had to admit that the girl had a nice scent it was similar to peaches and cream, she was even strong in the physical sense too. Not only was she gifted with strong power but she had trained under the Lord Sesshomaru, the ruler of Demon World. For such a powerful demon to train a human she must really have some skill. Then there was also her physical beauty…'Stop I shouldn't be thinking something about a mere human, for that's all she will ever be. A human. A pitiful creature, nothing more, nothing less.' My thoughts on the girl will end here.

Back in Koenma's Office

I was frozen in place and was only vaguely aware of the toddler getting up and leaving is office. I didn't know what to say, when Botan said I would need to go to Spirit World I was not expecting to find him. Of all the people to be in Spirit World why would he be here?

"Kagome it has been along time." His voice reached my ears and I started to cry. Could the heavens through anything else at me?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that I will end it here for now. Who could it be that Kagome has encountered is it Sesshomaru or could be the dead Inu Yasha, or is it worse is it Naraku or did I had my own character in this story that's from Kagome's distant past, her father. I have one in mind but will gladly turn the story in another direction if reviewers would rather it go a certain way.
