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.

Hiei appeared in front of Yusuke and the others, Kuwabara jumped at the sudden appearance, "Damn it, Shorty, wear a bell or something."

The others ignored the ningen as they discussed what the situation was. Kurama looked at Hiei, 'How's Kagome?'

'Fine her wounds treated and I left her in bed.'

Kurama gave a small nod before returning to the task at hand. "So far the only correlation between each victim is that they're female and no matter how slight they all seem to have youkai blood. They were each found drained of all their blood, their bodies dumped at the school they attended. Also the victims all had their eyes removed, perhaps so that they could not see their attacker before the youkai played a game of cat and mouse."

Kuwabara bit his lip, "Why would he go vampire on the girls?"

Kurama shrugged, "I am not sure, perhaps he's a bat youkai."

Kuwabara nodded, "Makes sense but if what you say is true wouldn't this youkai go after Kagome eventually if the theory of his going after school aged girls is correct."

Yusuke snorted, "Kagome can take care of herself, it's Yukina I'd be worried about, she's not much of a fighter if the youkai went after her I'm not sure if Grandma would be strong enough to fight the guy off. That was just one guy right?"

Kurama nodded, "I believe so

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

Kagome sighed and rolled her arm slightly feeling the ache from her freshly healed arm as the muscles protested the movement. She walked along the sidewalk when she caught the scent of blood and the sounds of crying. The miko looked around to see if anyone caught the sound and noting the ignorant masses walking pass, she entered into the bushes and caught a sight of a small girl with a pony-tail off the side, her small hands covering her face as she saw and smelt blood leak from her fingers. The girl shied away from Kagome, when she heard the woman ask who she was, "Please leave me alone…"

Kagome agreed and backed away before transforming into a slightly larger then average grey fox. She padded her way to the girl and nuzzled her. The blind girl flinched before throwing her arms around the kitsune and burying her face into the fur. Kagome allowed girl and while she did that the kitsune was searching the area for what attacked the girl when she sensed an unfamiliar youki heading towards the two. Kagome wrinkled her nose at what she would have to do before she woofed slightly, "Doggy, what is it?"

Kagome scowled darkly at being called a dog but decided that she would have to allow the misconception to stand. She took her teeth and tugged on the girl's shirt before lying down trying to beckon the blind girl to get on. The little girl got on and clung tightly while Kagome ran to a safer location. She led the girl into a warehouse and hid her in a corner the miko shielding her behind some boxes when the door to the warehouse opened all the way and Kagome could see a pair of bat demons standing their fangs glistening in the morning light. Kagome noted with slight amusement that she was going to miss school yet again. She crouched into a defensive position her hackles raised, silently telling them not to fuck with her. The girls smirked and walked in not taking a one-tailed kitsune seriously.

-Before y'all start saying she has two tails in her fox form she's in a disguise-

Kagome struck the first one down her jaws ripping his throat out. The second growled and attempted to kick the fox but she maneuvered to avoid the foot, the fox let a small yip when the bat stepped on her tail pinning her to the ground. Kagome glared at her, before she gave a fox's version of a smirk the last thing the bat heard was 'Never corner a kitsune' before she was purified.

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

Kurama looked up from his math notes when he sensed a flash of holy power. Youko roared from his mind that it was Kagome and she must have run into the youkai. Kurama stood and asked to be excused. The teacher looked up surprised but allowed Shuichi to leave. As soon as he left the room he ran towards the source noting that when he arrived at the warehouse Yusuke and Kuwabara coming panting as they arrived after they sensed the flare, "puff puff Where's puff Hiei?"

Kurama turned to Yusuke, "He went to see what rumors he could discover in Makai."

They entered and noticed the large kitsune comforting a small child, while cleaning her chops. The girl stiffened when she heard the footsteps but Kagome merely purred calming the child down. The girl wavering voice, "Keep away from Fluffy, he's my doggy."

Kagome sighed at what came out of the girl's mouth when she heard Yusuke snigger slightly. Kurama hid a small smile when he knelt in front of the girl noting with a wince that she was bleeding from her eye sockets, "Fluffy was a gift from my wife and she would be sad if her puppy was missing. He has a soft spot for children and he must have heard you and came to help you. We should get you to a doctor so they can take care of you. Besides I'm sure your family is worried about you."

The little girl let go of the kitsune and allowed Shuichi to pick her up. Kagome purified the area of the body and blood splatters before changing back noting the blood on her shirt with slight distaste and she followed them kicking Yusuke for laughing, "Shut up, she was scared of me as a person because of those two bats attacking her so I thought an animal would be better. I couldn't exactly correct her, now could I? And she couldn't see."

Kuwabara looked at Kagome amazed, "How did you know?"

Kagome explained hearing the girl cry and what happened after that before adding, "Next time inform me of the mission before I stumble across it. I'm a member of this team and I would like to be treated as such."

Yusuke shrugged, "Youko and Hiei felt you need time off and considering you basically did the last one by yourself I couldn't argue with them."

Kagome sighed, "I hate being treated like I am a liability.

Yusuke shrugged and walked away allowing the two to follow. Kuwabara shuddered slightly feeling the sparks in the air.

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

Hiei scowled as he arrived from Makai, the people he had 'spoken' to were not the most informative bunch.

He decided before heading to Kagome's he would check on Yukina. When he ran to Genkai's where he noticed the detective, the baka and Kagome's scents mingle at the temple. He arrived at the time to see Kagome in men clothes smooth out her tail muttering how she did not look like a dog. He paused slightly wondering what she was talking about when Yusuke snickered as he looked out of the window, "What's wrong, Fluffy, still sulking?"

Kagome growled and smirked when she heard a high pitch yelp from the person she felt needed to 'cool off'

Yusuke ran outside his teeth chattering and lips blue as he stalked outside and proceeded getting into a verbal argument with the miko. Genkai came out and hit both of them for causing a disturbance. Kagome apologized while Yusuke protested the abuse. The girl grabbed his ear and made him apologize much to the hybrid's amusement. When Yukina came out and said the girl's clothes were cleaned. Kagome perked and released the boy's ear causing him to fall forward as she headed inside.

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

Kurama sighed as he left the school grounds; he managed to explain away his tardiness. Then he walked over to Kagome's school to pick her up to review for the high school entrance exams she would have to take again. He paused by the gates where he was flooded by fan girls all trying to get close to him. He cleared his throat slightly and a hush fell over the crowd. Youko smirked, 'We could take over the world with your face and an army of women serving under us.'

Shuichi didn't grace that with a comment instead he asked the audience if they had seen Kagome. All shook their head silently when three feminine voices shouted from the back that she wasn't in class that day. He nodded and thanked the group before heading for the Higurashi shrine. He noticed that he was being followed by the three girls who had spoken up. Yuka called out, "Minamino-san, wait up."

He turned and waited for them to catch up, "What is your relationship with Kagome, were her best friends we have a right to know if you two are dating."

Shuichi put his hands in front of them shaking them slightly, "No, no it's not like that. Kagome-chan and I are related and when I heard she was having difficulty in school I offered to tutor her. I guess she is still sick so I believe I'll visit her tomorrow."

The girls swooned at his velvety voice giving the kitsune time to flee. He decided to head to Genkai's, where he was sure Yusuke and the others were to ask if they had seen the girl in question.

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

Kagome grumbled slightly from the weight of the boxes she and Yusuke were forced to carry when Genkai found out they were skipping school using the philosophy that if they were going to hang around then they could work. She set the boxes down with a grunt. When she noticed that Yusuke was going through the boxes he had carried, she hissed that Genkai-sama didn't tell them they could look through her stuff. "Baba didn't tell us we couldn't."

He then opened a small chest releasing a thick black smog that quickly coated the ground. Kagome felt her hair tingle as the smoke cleared away and a panther demon was seen stepping out of the smog. The panther turned to Kagome licking its chops, "I haven't had the flesh of a kitsune in a very long time. You should be honored that you are the one to break my fast."

Yusuke flinched and stiffened when he heard an odd stuttering throaty sound come from Kagome whose tail was bristling as she tried to look as intimidating as possible. The panther pounced but the girl managed to dodge the encounter and swipe her claws at the big cat. The cat jumped back and quickly ran through the miko's legs tripping her before he turned around and got ready for his killing blow but as he leapt Kurama appeared holding the small box open as the cat jumped into it.

The girl thanked the elder kitsune before clocking Yusuke upside the head for playing with Genkai's stuff. She headed indoors muttering about something to nurse her headache. Yusuke grumbled he was the one with a headache when ice rained upon him. He yelped and cursed, "That's the second fucking time in the past several hours. Fucking sadist."

Kurama sighed and shook his head before heading into the house where he noticed Kagome with her head on the counter watching Hiei and Yukina interact in the other room. "Jealous are we?"

Kagome slipped and banged her chin on the countertop, "I-tai-tai-tai…no, of course not. I'm just trying to figure something out."

Kurama leaned down and whispered in her ear, "It is better if you not mention it out loud; ice apparitions don't have the superior sense of smell that youkai have and it is Hiei's right to decide when to tell her."

Kagome nodded her eyes sad as she watched the interaction, "It's sad; the longer he keeps it hidden the more hurt she'll be when she finds out the truth then she'll be upset with all of us for knowing and treating her like a fool."

Kurama shrugged, "We will cross that bridge when the time comes."

She stood up, "Hopefully the waters won't be too choppy when the bridge is crossed."

Okay this is a chapter, lemon I decided will be in it's own chapter, the story is ending very soon the sequel will be up once I finish at least three other stories…Hey for those who were curious Kagome was Gekkering it's a sound foxes use when they are in an aggressive encounter. And why a panther? Well they are one of the fox's natural predators.
