You are the reason

Chapter 3

"To the mall"

:Grumble, Grumble: Hiei looked at Kagome as she sheepishly smiled. "Do you know anywhere I can get some food and clothes and maybe a place to stay?" she asked. 'That's right she has nowhere to stay, but wont she want to go back to the maikai?' Hiei thought. "Why don't you go back to the maikai?" Kagome looked startled and then smiled. "So I'm bothering you that much huh?" Kagome said standing up. Hiei's eyes widened and without thinking he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down. "No I was just wondering why you'd want to stay in the nengenkai and not go back to your home land." "Is there even a way to get back? And if there was I still wouldn't want to go back, there's nothing for me there." Again Hiei spoke without thinking. "In that case you can stay with me." Kagome looked surprised. "Really? Are you sure I wouldn't be intruding?" Hiei shook his head. "Wow thanks Hiei! You're my new best friend!" Kagome clapped her hands happily.

'Now about her clothes' Hiei stood up suddenly. "I'll be back." and he raced off. Kagome sat there on her knees inspecting her surroundings as she thought to herself. 'Wow it's really beautiful here, I hope I'll be able to fit in and make some friends here. Well besides Hiei.' Minuets passed and Hiei arrived with clothes in his arms. "Here" He threw her the clothes she caught them and stood up. 'She's shorter than me, by about 2 inches' "You can were my clothes so we can go to the store and get you some supplies." Kagome blushed when he said 'his' clothes and walked over behind a tree. Hiei leaned against a different tree and closed his eyes as she changed. 'Damn!' Kagome cussed. "Um Hiei? I… have a.…problem." she said coming from behind the tree. Hiei opened his eyes and they just about fell out as his jaw dropped slightly.

Kagome was looking to the left with her hand on her hip blushing. The black pants she wore fit her curves snugly until the bottom of her knee when they loosened up. The shirt she was wearing was shredded all the way around it really only covered her breast. The sleeves and the back of the shirt were missing and she wore a pair of his black shoes that were too big for her.(A/N: o'') 'She has a nice body.' Hiei regained his composure and noticed something twitching behind Kagome. He walked up to her and looked behind her and his eyes widened. "You have tails? And wings?" he said to her. She nodded. She had seven tails in total. Three were black and each were tipped with a different color, Blue, Red, and Silver. The other Three were Silver each tipped with a different color as well Blue, Red, and Black. Her last tail was a mix of Silver and Midnight Blue tipped with a light lavender. Her Dragon like wings were a silvery Midnight blue with a tint of red. Hiei never told anyone, not even Kurama, that Kitsune tails on a female was always a turn-on for him. Hiei's hands started to unconsciously twitch as he reached out slowly to caress her tails. "Sorry for ripping a hole in your pants." Kagome broke the spell. Hiei startled pulled back from Kagome and his cold mask was back on.

"It's fine. Now you need to put a concealing spell over your wings, tails, markings, ears, fangs and claws." "Oh! I can do that!" Kagome exclaimed. Kagome closed her eyes and traced over her markings, tails, wings, ears, claws and fangs and they all disappeared in a swirl of blue light. Next she hid her aura. Now I front of Hiei stood a normal human looking 16 year old girl with silver, red, and blue streaks. Before Hiei could speak Kagome's Stomach growled again. She blushed. "Well lets go get something to eat." Kagome walked towards Hiei and he blushed crimson red. "Hiei? What's wrong?" Hiei looked away. "Maybe you should….tie your shirt up… so your….uh?" Kagome looked down and squealed she covered herself and backed up away from Hiei and turned to face the other way. Kagome reached behind her and grabbed two shredded pieces on the shirt and tried to tie them up. Kagome tried and tried again but nothing worked Hiei saw this and went over to help.

+Kagome's point of view+

'Why won't this stupid thing tie?' I thought ferociously. But just as I was about to burn this retarded shirt… "Need some help?" Hiei asked in my ear. If I didn't know better id say he said that huskily. Did he? I shivered and nodded of course, who wouldn't? I felt his hand slide against my skin as he tied the string, he lingered a bit longer and then pulled away.

+Hiei's Point of view+

I felt Kagome shiver when I spoke in her ear and smirked. As I reached to tie the shirt my hand brushed against her silk smooth skin and we both shivered at the contact. I felt my heart beating faster as well as hers. When I finished tying the shirt my hands lingered in her back before I moved away.

+Normal Point of view+

Kagome turned around with a blush on her face. "Come on lets go get something to eat." Hiei said also blushing and walking out the park with Kagome following. When they came out of the park Kagome covered her nose instantly. "eww! What is that smell?" She nearly screamed. "Hn Humans and there inventions." "How can you stand that smell? Its like poisonous gas!" "Hn try and focus on one smell you find pleasing and that smell will stay with you." Kagome slowly removed her hands from her nose and began cautiously sniffing. Hiei watched her in amusement as her small nose moved around. Kagome closed her eyes as followed her nose. "It smells so good." she mumbled to herself. She walked until she bumped into something. She opened her eyes and saw black. She looked up to be captivated by crimson red eyes. "Damn Hiei… you smell good." Hiei blushed and gently pushed her off his chest. He turned around and continued to walk. "come on." Kagome started walking slowly behind him thinking to herself. 'He smells good it's like a drug. I wonder will he mind if I jump on his back? Let's give it a try.' Kagome thought.

Kagome suddenly jumped on Hiei's back making him stumble. He growled "Why did you do that women?" "Because Hiei I want to ride you of course!" She exclaimed obviously not knowing what she said. Hiei blushed. "And because you smell good. I'm only doing what you told me to do, find a source that smells good and focus on it. In this case, you." Kagome smiled. "Hn." Hiei held her thighs to keep her up and Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her nose in his back inhaling his masculine sent. Once Hiei got used to Kagome on his back he relaxed and she spoke. "You smell good Hiei, like Pine and tree sap, with a pinch of some kind of spice. Good combination." Hiei Blushed again and continued to walk to the mall. Once they got to the entrance of the mall Kagome jumped off Hiei's back and stared in awe at the massive building.

"Wow, Humans built this?" Hiei nodded. "Wow." Hiei walked through the doors followed closely by Kagome. Kagome unconsciously walked closer to Hiei when she saw a group of boys staring at her lustfully. Hiei noticed and growled at them making them runaway like cowards. Kagome smiled at Hiei and he blushed and looked away. "Hn." Kagome grabbed his hand and he didn't resist. As the two walked through the mall they were given complements such as: 'You two make such a cute couple!' and 'Aww aren't they cute?' And Kagome responded with: 'Thank you very much!' and 'Have a nice day!'. Hiei's face was crimson red from embarrassment: something that has never happened before.

Soon the two made there way to the food court and Kagome began sniffing around looking for something good to eat she followed her nose to a Ramen stand and jumped up and down in excitement. "This Hiei! This! This!" She said. 'She's just like a child.' Hiei thought buying them food. He ordered two large bowls, one shrimp for himself and the other beef for her. He passed her the beef bowl and took his shrimp bowl and he led them to a table. Hiei sat down first and watched as Kagome took careful steps to the table and placed it down gently as not to spill any. As soon as she sat down she started inhaling the food. Hiei stared wide eyed as she ate and when she finished she looked up with her mouth still full. "You gonna eat that?" she asked spitting food in his direction. Hiei cringed back and shook his head 'no' She instantly pounced on his food and devoured it. ' Damn, and I thought Yusuke loved Ramen.' Hiei thought. When Kagome finished she had a look of contentment on her face as she patted her now full stomach. "That was delicious." she sighed. "so what's next?" His simple answer was.. "Shopping"

He watched as Kagome's face lit up. 'I really hope she's not like Boton' Hiei thought remembering last Christmas. Boton went mad shopping for the perfect gift for Koenma. Pushing and pulling things from old women just to throw them aside saying it wasn't what she was looking for. She nearly put an old man into a coma fighting with him over a simple tie. The two stood up and walked side by side to 'Hot Topic'. As Kagome continued to walk in Hiei stopped and leaned against the wall.

When Kagome noticed she stopped and stared at him. "Hm? Hey aren't you coming in?" she asked. "Id rather just stay out here." "How will I pay for things without Nengenkai currency?" Hiei reached into his pocket and pulled out four credit cards. "Here." "Hiei this is all your money I don't want to spend it all." Kagome said worriedly. "Hn, don't worry it's not mine, use it all if you like." Hiei said nonchalantly. "Really?" "Hn, yes" "Are you sure?" "yes." "Are you positive?" "Yes!" "Are you positively sure?" "YES onna now take the credit cards!" Hiei snapped. "Oh! O.K!" Kagome took the cards and ran into the store not caring that Hiei snapped on her. Hiei sighed and then smirked. 'Take that toddler.'

+Kagome's Point of view+

I was really surprised that Hiei gave me four credit cards, from the spirit world no less. But as I ran into this store I started feeling guilty until I saw the cutest mini skirt! It was black denim with a split all the way up the side just below the waist band. The slits were tied together loosely by thin red string like fabric. It was also low rise. I went and picked it up immediately to try it on. On my way to the dressing room I also picked up some black combat boots with silver flames on them lined with blue, a pair of fishnet stockings, a red tube top with blue flames on it tinted with silver, and a black spiked chocker. I also bought some underwear, Pj's, and other accessories.

As I walked to the store door after paying for my things I saw a human girl talking to Hiei with a smile on her face. 'Is she Hiei's girlfriend? Humph she's nothing special.' I thought as I felt a twinge of pain in my heart. 'Am I... jealous?' I questioned myself.
