She quickly hid behind some foliage when her senses picked up on two youkai heading her direction, "So Komi, Kaname said that she'd opened the portal here for the next delivery, ne?"
"Yeah, Yami, this time's it's a man-child and the sex trade has a large demand for those especially the virgins."
Kagome swallowed some bile at the two's conversation before following them, hiding herself from their senses. 'Kaname? Nah, no way on earth, are the three worlds that small.'
She gaped as she saw Houjo being led blindfolded by Kaname through a portal. 'This was easy…'
Then her foot stepped on a twig drawing attention to herself, 'Oh shit.'
Hiei growled his hand itching over his katana as he faced the spirit prince in front of him, "You mean to tell me you sent her on a mission alone when she was already falling ill?"
Koenma shivered at how icy the hybrid sounded. Kurama spoke his eyes a swirl of gold and emerald, "Hiei, perhaps the best thing we can do is wait for her to return and in Koenma-sama's case I hope she does return unharmed."
Kagome turned to two youkai her human disguise still in place, "Is their any chance you will turn yourselves in so that I can get on my way, I have tests to study for and I'm catching a cold."
The demons snorted, "Why should we listen to a mere ningen?"
Kagome let her hand glow a soft lilac, "How about listening to a miko, who is annoyed and is willing to purify your asses even with all the paperwork I would have to fill out."
The youkai glanced at each other nervously before disputing her claim, "Nice try everyone knows that the last real priestess was killed 5 centuries ago."
She smiled viciously, "Are you willing to test that theory. When you meet Koenma-sama tell him I will be taking a break."
Yami scoffed and ran towards her his fists encased in flames as he tried to strike the miko down. Kagome ducked and weaved around the fists before she took a flaming blow breaking the bone in her right arm. Kagome then returned fire severally damaging the fire youkai with her miko-ki. The wounded youkai dropped to the ground and lay unconscious while his partner came up. Kagome looked at the male kitsune as wind began to pick up in the clearing his hair fluttering gracefully in the wind, "Now I hate the fact I'm about to kill such a pretty little thing."
Kagome arched an eyebrow, "I bet you know all about something that's pretty little."
Komi growled at the insinuation then he spoke his voice oozing with sensuality, "You wish to be set straight? What's your name little one."
Kagome grinned, "Its Kagome."
Houjo spoke up his eyes still blindfolded and she noticed his hands were tied behind his back, "Higurashi-san? Leave her alone!"
Komi smiled, "So, Kagome, do you know the merchandise?"
Kagome merely crouched her right arm hanging uselessly as her left arm was held in front of her body defensively. Komi laughed, "Are you going to try and fight me with that broken arm, Yami did a decent job before you took him down."
Kagome growled, "I'm not going to try, I will fight and I will win."
('They may take our lives but they can never take OUR FREEDOM' sorry that just sounded like a Brave Heart moment.)
Komi just smiled and the wind picked up throwing the girl back and slamming her into a tree. Kagome stood up wearily and spat out some blood. Wiping her mouth she nodded to Komi, "I guess I overestimated you, I thought as a kitsune you would have been stronger, I'm ashamed for all kitsunes out there."
Kagome ran towards the stunned Komi and with a swift blow to the neck she knocked him out. She then apprehended Kaname tying the girl up with the rope that tied Houjo up with difficulty. Taking some of the tougher plant-life from Makai she tied up the two youkai. Houjo untied the blindfold and went up to the girl, "Higurashi, are you okay?"
Kagome nodded then winced when he touched the burn on her arm. The miko turned to him, "How about you how did you manage to get here?"
Houjo looked around, "Where are we?"
Kagome blinked, "Um…this is Makai. We need to go to Reikai to turn these guys in before we can get home."
Houjo nodded, "How are we to do that?"
Kagome groped around trying to feel out the pink compact Botan gave her. She mentally groaned when she realized it was in her front right pocket. Straining her left arm she pulled the pink compact out. She flipped it open and contacted Koenma.
Koenma picked up the connection and heaved a sigh of relief when it was Kagome, "Yes, Kagome-chan?"
Kagome sighed, "Koenma can I get some backup?"
The child prince paled, "B-backup? Why would you need backup?"
Kagome blew a strand of hair out of her face, "I caught the people opening the portal and I can't carry them all to the other side of the barrier. Besides I have a victim."
Koenma breathed a sigh of relief, "So you aren't hurt. Well once you get back here, there's a new mission…"
Kagome arched an eyebrow, "I'm taking a break, I'm sick and I feel like crap. Besides, what should it matter if I was hurt, I don't see you asking the others that. Hiei and my father wouldn't have something to do with that concern for my safety would they?"
He had the grace to blush before disconnecting the line. Kagome snapped the compact shut and turned to Houjo, "We start walking, a portal to Reikai cannot be opened on the Central Lands."
Houjo didn't even ask instead he turned to look at the three unconscious tied up people, "So, what will happen to Kaname?"
Kagome shrugged, "She'll probably be put on trial for being an accomplice but she might get off easy if she gives us information. I'm sorry, Houjo, I know she meant a lot to you."
Houjo nodded silently as he looked at her limp form. Kagome tied a rope to the two youkai in order to drag them along when she turned and watched as Houjo picked the girl up when she sneezed, "Stupid sneezes at least it didn't happen during the fight or I'll have had more then a broken arm."
Houjo went up to her and setting the girl down he checked her arm moving it slightly to align the bones ignoring the painful hiss she released when he did it. He looked at her surprised to see her eyes take a pinkish tint; then her eyes returned to their sparkling sapphire hue. He then tightly wrapped her arm up with her sweater which he cut it off her with a knife found on one on the youkai and tore into ribbons. He used the strips and two sticks to create a splint. Kagome sent him a grateful smile as he picked Kaname up and Kagome led the way out dragging the bodies behind her. They kept pace throughout the day, a heavy silence hanging between them punctuated by sneezes, sniffles and coughs coming from the miko. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Kagome turned at the ningen confused, "Tell you about what?"
"All of this; Kaname, and youkai, everything, how much was a lie?"
Kagome sighed and looked at the setting sun in the blood red sky. "We'll make camp here."
She tied the two still out of it youkai to a tree and began to stack wood for a small fire. Houjo just sat down and watched the girl expertly make camp clad in a baggy pants and a spaghetti-strapped top and a black sports-bra underneath. Once she had a fire going she sat across from her schoolmate waiting for him to begin questioning her. She didn't have to wait long when he asked his first question, "So did you know about Kaname?"
Kagome arched her eyebrow, "That you were dating or that she was illegally transporting humans for the Makai sex trade? A no on both counts, I got this assignment right after I met her and first it was to just question the lord of the land which I did when it was discovered I was the only one who can go through the barrier. I was then sent to discover who was behind this when I ran into you and Kaname and the two youkai."
Houjo nodded then looked into the flickering flames, "You must think I'm an idiot for not seeing through her act."
Kagome shook her head empathically, "Not at all, it happens to the best of us. You think someone is your friend then they turn around and try to kill you with their wife helping by shooting you with an arrow."
Houjo looked at her noticing how she was rubbing a scar on her chest subconsciously. "How long did you know that youkai are real?"
Kagome smiled wistfully as she recalled the incident, "It was my fifteenth birthday as I was getting ready to go to school Souta wanted me to look for our cat but when I found him in the well house a centipede-youkai attacked me dragging me through the well. That was the day I found out that I had miko powers."
Hiei returned to Koenma and leaned against the wall his eyes daring Koenma to give him any sort of bad news when the communications line buzzed causing the spirit prince to tumble out of his chair. He climbed back up into the chair and pushed the button to pull down the screen that showed a ruffled Kagome in the background there were three tied up beings. She asked him to open a portal the rest of what she was saying was drowned out by a newly awaken Kaname demanding to be let go. Kagome turned back and told her to shut up before returning to Koenma, "Portal please."
Koenma nodded and typed a few things when he asked, "I thought you were wearing a sweatshirt?"
Kagome nodded her gaze watching Houjo as he returned from using the facilities. She then sneezed, her nose crinkling from trying to keep it in. Koenma merely cocked an eyebrow and then disconnected the line.
Kagome closed the compact and slid it into her pocket. The portal appeared and Botan came flying through followed shortly by Hiei. Kagome smiled at Hiei, who nodded to her his eyes taking in her form noting with displeasure that her arm was bandaged and that Houjo was here. He picked up the two tied up youkai while Botan placed Houjo on the back of her oar leaving Kagome to carry Kaname. The miko grunted as she walked through the portal trying to hold onto the struggling girl. She dropped the girl in front of Koenma and in a tired tone told him she was going home.
Koenma just watched her leave, leaving a stunned Houjo and a slightly hurt Hiei as she left with a general wave and the grim reaper led her back. The miko turned to the grim reaper, "Botan-chan, I was wondering if you could help me dress my wounds after I bathe."
Botan nodded and helped the fox shower her gasp escaping when the miko's back was exposed, "Kami, what happened Kagome?"
Kagome flinched when Botan touched the bruised and scrapped back, "The kitsune was a wind youkai and flung me against a tree. There's a green jar underneath my desk can you get it? It's for the bruising on my back and by it is a red jar for burns."
Botan nodded and when she got the supplies Kagome quickly got out and wrapped herself in a towel. The girl slipped on a pair of panties and pajama pants as she laid down on the bed using the towel as a blanket between her from and the bed. Botan was getting ready to apply the cool gel when a portal opened and Hiei joined her having finished altering Houjo's memory. Kagome spoke up to Botan, "Botan, thanks for helping me out. I don't want to waste time healing these when I need to focus on this cold. I think it's stuffed up my senses, I cannot smell as well as I usually do and I can't sense auras it's all blurred."
Botan nodded then turned to Hiei who was looking upon her partially nude form before taking the ointment form Lady Death and sending her on her way. Botan left silently sending the hybrid a thumbs-up. Hiei watched the kitsune laying on the bed her tail hanging limply off the side of the bed her exhaustion noticeable from the limp tail to her drooping ears. Hiei went up to her noticing the girl had her eyes closed and took some of the gel and massaged it into the miko's back his clawed fingers gently tracing designs onto her back enjoying the fact that her muscles were shivering from each touch. Kagome opened her eyes and said in a breathy tone, "Hiei."
The hybrid was surprised she had just admitted that she couldn't smell nor sense people yet she called him out, "How'd you know it was me?"
Kagome turned her head so she was looking at him, "I may not be able to sense or sniff you out but that doesn't mean my body doesn't recognize your touch and your gaze."
Hiei leaned forward to press his lips on her forehead before turning to pay attention to the burn on her broken arm. He knelt and ran his tongue along the burn causing her to look at him letting out a shuddering breath when he blew on it, the cooling sensation numbing the pain from the burn as he rewrapped the girl's arm. Hiei then pressed his lips to each eyelid Kagome. He then tucked her in to the bed then climbing in after her, stripping his top as he snuggled into the miko, the two of them resting for the night.
Youko growled Hiei and Kagome were not here. Yusuke and Kuwabara both snickered, "I think Kagome and Hiei are quiet busy."
Kuwabara nodded, "Shorty's happy that there's a woman out there that likes his sorry ass."
Kurama sighed and held his head as Youko snarled, "Please stop and let's just go on and finish this mission and please don't provoke Youko he's testy about the fact that Koenma gave Kagome a mission of that caliber without the possibility of getting any back-up. Then when she returned injured."
Yusuke and Kuwabara snickered again, "Worrying doesn't become you, Kurama, you might prematurely grey."
Youko growled that they could kill them and hide the bodies in a place no one could find them. Kurama rubbed his forehead, 'It won't be worth getting in trouble with Reikai.'
Yusuke looked around, "What are we looking for?"
Kurama ran a hand through his hair, "A few C-class youkai escaped into Ningenkai and we need to eliminate them before they cause a problem."
Kuwabara snorted, "The midget and his freaky eye thing would make this so much easier."
Hiei took in the girls scent a small frown on his face when he caught the scent of her sickness marring her sweet scent. The illness was less noticeable then it was the day before. Kagome yawned and opened one eye to look at him. "Go back to sleep, Hiei-kun."
Hiei rolled over till he was on top of her, "Just call me Hiei, I plan to be your mate and it's disrespectful to give me an honorific."
Kagome nodded and patted the bed, "Go back to sleep, Hiei."
The hybrid nodded and leaned down his lips pressing a kiss to her nose and then a second to her lips when the door opened and Kun-Loon looked in, "Oh, excuse me, I'll be leaving, oh and Hiei-kun?"
Hiei sent her a small grunt giving her permission to continue, "Try to have a few red-eyed, a few blue-eyed and if you can a few amethyst-eyed babies."
Hiei smiled at the ningen and Kagome gave a small 'Eep' as the door closed. Hiei pressed his lips to the kitsune's neck and began to suck and nip at the appendage. "Both your mother and your father have given me permission to mate with you, Kagome."
Kagome sighed and bucked her hips, "Hiei, can we at least wait until I'm healed."
Hiei nipped the girl's neck drawing some blood, "I know not to mate if my mate's injured."
Kagome shuddered as his tongue slipped out and licked off the blood from her neck. The miko then wrapped her legs around the hybrid and then she returned the favor nipping and tugging at the skin at his neck causing Hiei to gasp, "Stop, you aren't in the condition to continue this."
Kagome sighed and nodded her legs unraveled from his waist as Hiei gave her a last minute kiss before climbing out of bed and pulling his top on. He pressed a final kiss on the girl forehead and he climbed out of the window, "The detectives have a mission that needs my assistance."
Kagome nodded and watched the forbidden child leave.
Hey lemon coming up and Kagome gets to meet Yukina…almost forgot about her. Next chapter should be longer then these 5 pages and more will happen. This story is soon ending and the sequel will be up, what should I call it? My lemon will probably not be as awesome as some other people can write but I'm a virgin and all I've ever done was kiss a guy not even French kissing. (I've been reading Aff to get inspired)
