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 GUYS THIS CHAPTER HAS THE LEMON AND IS THE SECOND TO LAST CHAPTER…lemon will be marked you may skip it if you want
Hiei leapt from branch to branch he hasn't seen hide or hair Kagome since the day at Genkai's. Kurama shrugged elegantly all he had heard was she was out of town. Yusuke and Kuwabara both didn't know her whereabouts when he questioned them and Koenma told him that she wasn't on an official mission but he wasn't willing to find her because according to the infant ruler Hiei thought sarcastically, 'She was too busy to talk to her lover boy and that if he had that much time to waste he could go and work on a few back cases from before Yusuke became spirit detective.'
Hiei paused when he realized that he was in the branches of the Goshinboku. Kun-Loon caught sight of him and sighed happily the demon was in love with her daughter she could tell because that was the fifteenth time she's actually seen him looking into the girl's room. The ningen wrapped her self in shawl and stepped outside, "Hiei-kun, why don't you go and wait in Kagome's room I'm sure she will return in due time."
The hybrid looked at her realizing that he had overlooked the ningens in his pursuit of knowledge, "You know where she is?"
Kun-Loon nodded, "Of course she called me the other day. She's with her friends the wolves…what were their names…oh yes Ayame and Kouga."
Hiei nodded slightly and left without a goodbye cursing to himself normally he wouldn't overlook such an obvious lead but with the miko he noted wryly that he acted out of character.
Kun-Loon laughed she remembered what was like to be young and so in love.
--------------------------------
Kagome helped the pregnant wolf get up from the hot-springs she's been staying in Central Lands with Ayame as the five lords met and spoke in the safety behind the barrier throughout the month. Kouga came up to her as she was walking home from Genkai's entreating her to go along and keep Ayame company as the meeting progressed and to be there when she goes into labor.
Ayame sighed as the two dressed, the miko was less then forthcoming on the details of her relationship or lack there of with the one called Hiei. The wolf laid a hand on Kagome's shoulder causing the miko to jump and whirl around still partially nude, "I'm sorry for frightening you, Kagome-chan."
Kagome relaxed her breathing slightly, "I was just lost in thought that's all. Is everything alright, need help with something?"
Ayame nodded pouting slightly, "Yes you haven't told me anything about you and Hiei…"
Kagome gasped when she realized she forgot to tell the rest of the team where she was, "Oh man, oh man, they are going to kill me…"
The fully dressed wolf blinked at the unusual response as the girl quickly threw a shirt on and flipped open the communicator dialing up Koenma. The infant ruler smiled as he recognized the kitsune, "Ah I was wondering when you were going to call, Kouga-sama had informed me that he was stealing one of my detectives for a month or so."
Kagome laughed nervously, "Ah yes, I've been busy and…"
Koenma shook his head, "Think nothing of it, if you maintain good contacts with the Lords of Maikai it will be easier for me to conduct missions without so much of the political hoop-la."
Kagome felt her eyebrow twitch, "Ah yes well I wished to inform you I'm in the Central Lands so you may not always have a means to contact me."
Before he could respond she flipped the compact closed, "Well that is out of way. Let's go outdoors to the gardens…unless you want to go to the stuffy meetings?"
The mated youkai laughed slightly and allowed the girl to lead her to Shiori's rose gardens and settled down on a bench while Kagome reclined along the rim of a large fountain enjoying the way the mist was brushing over her.
---------------------------------
Kurama had to hide a smile at the fact Koenma's face seemed to go red as Kagome hung-up on him. He had dropped by the office in Reikai when Hiei stopped by with his thinly disguised concern over Youko's daughter. 'You're a part of me so she's your's too.'
Kurama agreed not wishing to fight with Youko because even if he wins Kurama was always the one to end up with a large migraine. Youko caught the thought and laughed. "So Kagome is in the Central Lands, aren't the Lords holding their yearly meeting there? I assume Kagome is there to keep the Northern Lord's mate company because she is expected to go into labor soon."
-------------------------------------
Yusuke grumbled as he, Botan, Keiko and Kuwabara walked home from school, "How is it that Kagome get's to miss school just because…ITAI!"
Keiko returned her book-bag to its original position, "School is very important, I'm sure Kagome-chan has a very important reason for missing school."
Botan nodded, "I can always check with Koenma-sama to see what she's doing but from what we understood Kouga-sama stole her for a little while he promised to return in according to his words 'almost mint condition'"
Yusuke chuckled slightly, "I bet Hiei isn't too keen on this."
Botan giggled slightly she had caught how frantically the youkai was looking for Kagome though he disguised saying he was patrolling the area for youkai, 'yeah one youkai in particular with long grey hair and shimmering blue eyes.'
Keiko turned to Botan, "How long until they take the next step?"
Botan grinned, "If the reactions between wolf and Hiei were any indication they will, if Hiei can find a way, by the end of the week they will be mated."
Kuwabara spoke up, "You mean married? Shorty would actually be a family man? What does Kurama think about it?"
Yusuke placed his hands behind his head, "Who cares, let's change the topic."
"Uremeshi, think of it if they hook up…There could be hundreds of mini-Hiei's running around with miniature versions of the pole shoved up his ass."
Botan whacked him with her oar at his vulgarity, "I wonder how Hiei was like as a baby…"
----------------------------------------
Hiei stifled a sneeze as he went to the castle that belonged to the Northern wolves. He met it up with Yuuki and his hand went to his sword, "Where are the Lord and Lady of the castle?"
Yuuki growled he recognized the detective who terrorized the lands for a week, "They are away."
Hiei grabbed the ookami's neck and growled, "Where are they and the kitsune who was with them?"
Yuuki arms went up and tugged on the hands choking him, "Kagome-chan is with 'kaa-sama in the Central Lands so let me go."
Hiei flung the wolf against the wall, "Don't speak of her so familiarly."
(Kudos to whoever figures out what manga series this is from)
He left in a black blur and Yuuki shook his head, "Poor Kagome-chan, she's going to have a possessive demon on her tail."
-------------------------------
Kagome flicked at her nose as the urge to sneeze overcame her in her sleep. Ayame at to stifle her giggles because though she knew better then to say it out loud Kagome looked like a cat sprawled on top of a television set; her ears twitching with every sound then they would shudder to shake off any water that would splash on them. Ayame stood up silently she had a new mission on her pregnancy-hazed mind and slowly made her way towards the slumbering kitsune. Her hands reached out but before she got within a foot of her target Kagome's eyes opened, "Oh no, the ears are off limits. So that means no touchy. Got it?"
Ayame nodded then pouted, "Why not, they're fuzzy and calling out to me they want it can't you hear them, their saying 'Rub me, touch me, I'm too fuzzy to resist.'"
Kagome sighed and motioned to the ledge she was reclining on as she got off it, "Fine, fine Sit down but only for a minute and you can't tell anyone, I'm not some ear-whore."
--I've been watching Bring it On All or Nothing--
Ayame laughed slightly ignoring the twinge in her stomach as the miko settled between the pregnant youkai's legs. Ayame began to rub the ears her grip tightening to the point of becoming painful when a contraction hit. Kagome barked at the pain and managed to free her ears from the wolf's grasp. Kagome stood up and scoop the pregnant demoness up running towards the medical ward which she had become very familiar with thanks to the obscure and rather dangerous, for the miko, cravings the wolf would have.
After depositing the panting wolf onto a bed, the midwife shooed the girl out and Kagome's nose met Mister wooden door. Kagome grumbled and rubbed her nose before realizing that perhaps she should tell Kouga that he's about to become a daddy again. Lifting her nose to sniff her friend out she had to leap out of the way when a whirlwind blew past, "Gomen, Kagome, Ayame needs me!"
Kagome groaned softly, "What is this, 'Abuse Kagome' Day?"
Shippo walked pass and snickered slightly, "Has your day been rough, 'kaa-chan?"
Kagome turned to her son, "Don't make me hurt you."
Tenshi (remember him, Shiori's and Jijenji's son from earlier) came whizzing by stopping when he saw Shippo, "Man, Otou-san is looking for you better hurry. Something about tomorrow and a show?"
Shippo cursed slightly, he had forgotten that he promised to decorate the hall with his paintings for the coronation ball for the new Southern Lord; the former Lord had passed away after eating strawberries and cream on one of the hotter days in Makai history.
--You this happened to one of USA presidents he ate this and his stomach went poof, may have been appendicitis or something of the sort, this was way way in this country's past--
Shippo kissed his mother good bye and left Kagome and Tenshi. Kagome looked at the bat, "So…up for a game of Dai Hin Min?"
Tenshi shrugged and the pair went to round up two other people to play.
-----------------------------------------
Hiei ran through the fields of Makai swiftly avoiding unnecessary delays heading towards the courier service in the Southern Lands so that he could have a way to pass through the Barrier surrounding the Central Lands.
----------------------------------------
Kagome yawned they were on their twentieth round when Kouga ran up to Kagome and hugged her, "A Girl, my first girl!"
The miko hugged him back, "Congratulations, Kouga-kun, I'm so happy for you."
Tenshi swore softly, "Damn it how is it that you have two revolutions in your hand."
Kagome extracting her self from his hug kicked the hanyou-hybrid, "Cheater. Who told you you can look at my cards."
Kouga left them to return to his tired mate and new cub after assuring Kagome she could see the newest addition to his family in the morning. The miko smiled and wished him a good night before yawning and turning in for the night.
---------------------------------------
Hiei arrived at the service just as the sun was setting turning the red sky an eerie crimson color. One of the carriers 'volunteered' to help transport him in an hour because the hanyou had to finish taking inventory before they could begin the trek to the barrier. Hiei's thoughts turned inward the past ten days had been difficult, it was the longest amount of time the two have been separated and though he would never admit it to anyone he missed sleeping with her in his embrace.
-------------------------------------------
Kagome sighed she couldn't go to sleep, growling in annoyance she grabbed a pillow throwing it to the floor in frustration for some reason she hasn't been able to sleep through the night. She sat up and opened the window allowing the fresh air and the moonlight to stream through. She could feel her self calming when a familiar aura caressed her senses her eyes opened when she realized that the aura was coming closer and strengthening in potency. Her eyes widened when she caught a black blur head for her windows and before she could respond he had her against the cool stone wall his mouth nipping and tugging and his hands resting on her hips.
--Lemon will start---lemon will start----lemon will start----
Kagome moaned know she knew what she was missing and she returned his affections with as much fervor as he did. Her hands slid into his haori intent of feeling him and assuring her self that this wasn't some dream brought about by the fact that the kitsune mating season was to start soon.
Hiei moaned; and shifted to the bed causing the miko to fall on her back; as he felt her hands run along his chest and slip southward. Deciding that her hands were distracting he used the fabric that hid the Jagan and tied the white fabric around her wrists and to the bed post. Kagome tugged on the bonds and looked up at him to see that his eyes bled crimson. Untying the robe she had wrapped around her he growled appreciatively to note she was only clad in a black bra and panty set due to the heat.
--More ways then one merow--
Dipping down he trailed open mouth kissing and nipping from her ear which he noted enlisted a mew of pleasure from the kitsune. Hiei descended down along her jaw and neck and he licked the valley between her breasts before sitting up and slicing through the bra allowing for her breasts to be exposed to his ministration his mouth latched onto the left breast and his right hand fondled the other one so that it would not feel lonely.
Kagome writhed at the attention and want to be able to touch him when her tail came up and caressed along his manhood which was currently straining against the confines of his pants. Hiei shuddered at the feather light touches and slipped his slacks off freeing his cock and his left hand, which up to that point was merely resting against the bonds holding her hands immobile, slipped down pass her underwear and entered her folds in order to caress the bundle of nerves resting in the apex of her thighs.
The miko's hips instinctively bucked and she let out a throaty moan. She tugged on the bonds wanting to show him how she was feeling but he merely moved his lips to the other breast so that it wouldn't feel left out. Kagome arched her back at the sensations moaning throatily. Hiei smirked against her skin but he was in for a rude awaking when Kagome managed to untie herself from the fabric and her hands went to his head her nails scraping his skin as she propped herself and lifted his head so that she could kiss his lips.
Hiei's eyes widened at the emotion he could sense from the kiss and leaned forward forcing her on her back as his hands went up from their activities to cup her face and Kagome's hands went down his back to cup his buttocks. He bucked instinctively and practically purred, "I knew you were dangerous with your hands free."
Kagome grinned smugly her hands moving along the outside of thighs to grasp what had just brushed against her panties. Her hands feeling what her eyes couldn't see since he renewed the attack on her body only now he was gently biting the juncture at her neck where the mating mark would later go. Kagome rubbed her legs together to try and ease the tension down there. Hiei caught this and removing her hands from his now painful cock her dipped his head to the damp panties and sliced them off enlisting gasp a protest at the destruction of her clothing. The Jaganashi ignored it and sniffed at the source the sweet scent of her arousal before parting the lower lips and licking her womanhood mentally enjoying the way a strangled version of his name passed by her lips at the new sensation. Kagome's hands went down to tangle into his hair her grip tightening when his tongue slipped in intent on tasting what she had to offer.
Muscles that she didn't really know existed began clenching and she could feel the smug aura radiating off of the hybrid. Hiei's hand went to fondle her clitoris, he normally wouldn't care about the female's pleasure but Kagome was different he was literally addicted to her smell and as she climaxed with a throaty yell and he added taste to the list of what he was addicted to, as his tongue lapped up the sweet liquid.
Prowling back up he positioned himself at her entrance and his lips hovering over hers, "This will hurt, koi."
He had to visibly hide the flinch at Kagome's gaze; he could see trust and love reflecting in those midnight orbs. He quickly entered her tearing her maiden head in a swift movement. Kagome gasped and her claws entered into the flesh on his back the pain was almost as bad as have her soul ripped out. He leaned against her ear and whispered his apologies. Kagome looked up at his face and she saw his pain at having been the one to cause her pain and she leaned forward to kiss his cheek, "I'm fine now."
She squirmed a little, to help prove her point; and experimentally clenched her muscles and Hiei moaned as the cavernous heat tightened around his penis. Nipping at the vixen's lips he drew back only to plunge back in leaving her to gasp at the new sensations. He varied the pace of his thrusts because he wanted to keep Kagome off balance and before long she climaxed for the second time that night. Only this time she instinctively bit into the apex between his shoulder and neck, marking the male as her mate. Unknown to both of them a faint pink glow passed from Kagome to Hiei.
Hiei bucked his hips and he climaxed his creamy seed coating her insides and his fangs lengthening to mark the kitsune in his arms. The jagan glowed and a red ribbon passed from the jagan to Kagome so that it could always find her if needed.
---------End of lemon--------
They continued making love through the night and in the morning Shippo came in to spot both of them curled up against one another and sleeping in the nude. Laughing he shook Kagome awake. He wasn't stupid enough to wake up Hiei and his mother was instinctively not going to hurt him.
Kagome groaned and cracked an eye open. "Ohayo, Shippo."
"Wake up, 'kaa-chan, Ayame's expecting you."
Kagome nodded and freed herself from Hiei's grasp replacing her body with the pillow she was sleeping on. Giving the hybrid a soft kiss she went to bathe and dress. Shippo waited by the door. When Kagome stepped out he smiled, "So am I going to have to call him 'chi-chi-kun?"
Kagome shoved him playfully, "If you do, I want to be there to see his face. But you're cool about this, right?"
The kitsune nodded, "Jeez, I'm not a jealous child. I want you to be happy, 'kaa-chan."
She smiled her eyes shining, "Thank you, Shippo."
------------------------------------------
Hiei awoke to an empty bed and he sat up quickly his eyes searching the room for his missing mate. He stood up and dressed quickly, his jagan quickly found her and he went to see what she was thinking, leaving without letting him know.
Kagome looked back at the door from the meeting that she was forced to attend because Ayame had to attend, her daughter sleeping in her arms. The newest Lord of the Southern Lands, a lynx by the name of Banzo was being introduced. Kagome's eyes whirled to him, she recognized the name form the stories InuYasha would tell her about when he went to Toutosai in order to learn how to break Naraku's barrier.
Ayame watched the miko fidget in her seat and leaned over, "You know the more you want to leave the longer the meeting turns out."
Kagome smiled slightly at the comment and shook her head slightly, "It's just…"
The door opened and Hiei stood there looking displeased. Once Shippo saw him he stood up, "Chi-chi-kun!"
Hiei felt his eyes widened and Kagome snickered slightly at the look of stunned realization that was on the border of panic on her mate's face.
One more chapter and I think it will have a cliffy ending of sorts where it ends but leaves something for the sequel. Oh I love it that this has broken three hundred reviews…Now I'm going to work on some other stuff till I figure out what to write in my poor little windowless dorm room. Tell me how you liked the lemon and the glowy lights will be important for the sequel dontcha know, (Unknown to both of them a faint pink glow passed from Kagome to Hiei.
... The jagan glowed and a red ribbon passed from the jagan to Kagome so that it could always find her if needed.) For those who skipped the lemon
