One-sided Steve/Kagome

3 – Found Again

A bright light. That's all I could see.

"What is your name?" A simple question.

"Kagome Taisho."

"How old are you?" Yet another simple question.

"613 years." I heard a female gasp and that's when I realized I wasn't alone with the man who had been asking me senseless questions.

"Are you of inhuman origins?" I sighed softly as I began to feel the ache in my legs and arms. How long has it been since I last moved?

"Yes." I could hear machinery in the background and the almost silent hum of computers. Clearly I wasn't in the past.

"What are you?" Did this man have any idea how to have a conversation? The bright light started to let up and I could hardly make out the shape of the lamp and the large man towering over me. Was I laying down?

"I am not a demon." My throat was starting to feel raw and I coughed. When I tried to cover my mouth I realized my hands were cuffed to a metal bar. Hospital bed!

"What are you?" Then man asked again. His voice was harsh and I could tell he had an idea on what I was.

"Goddess of Life and Death." I whispered and I could hear guns rose towards me. Suddenly I could see everything. The dark skinned man with a patch over one eye and a black trench coat. A woman in a doctor's dress and a man in an American flag costume.

"Why were you asleep in a tomb? Captain America here found you during World War Two in Japan." The man said. Then darkness around his soul was clearly visible in the eye and his cold attitude reminded me of Sesshomaru… my adopted father.

"A curse…" I said as I looked to my left seeing technology that wasn't in my original era. A flash of solver caught my eye and I could see simple handcuffs on my wrist. Pathetic, really.

"Do you know Thor, God of thunder and Loki, God of Mischief and Chaos?"

"Yes." I looked around the room and was slightly disappointed that hospital rooms were still plain and white.

"Are you here to cause harm?" I felt my eyes flash with anger.

"I saved the world 500 years ago when the Shikon was destroyed. I saved the world 400 years ago when the God of Havoc tried to cause mischief in Japan." I said slowly, realizing why they must be so weary.

"What has Loki done now?" I asked as the man in the costume step forward and I could tell he wanted to answer.

"Two months ago, Loki had attached Earth to try to rule it. He lost to my team and since the teleportation device broke, Thor and Loki are stuck here until they find away to get to their world." The man in the costume, clearly Captain America, said as I felt my heart ache for the poor god.

"I may know a way to get them home. I must be released from the handcuffs and taken to the Norse gods. I've known Loki since we were children and it does surprise me that he would take over the world I was sent to protect." I said as the man in black clothing moved forward and unlocked me.

"We have a necklace on you that will electrocute you if you get violent." The man said as I quickly brought my hands together and sat up, gasping when my back popped.

"My name is Nick Fury, this is Steve Rodgers, A.K.A. Captain America." The man, Nick said as she looked around the room.

"Kagome Taisho, Goddess of Life and Death… At your service, Sir Fury." I said as I saw the man smirk.

"Kagome, are you ready to see Thor and Loki?" Steve said as he watched the dark haired women sit deadly still in the bumpy car. He had never gotten over her beauty and every time he saw here he was left in awe. Her skin was as pale as pale can get with stunning Blue eyes and a petite nose. Her lips were full and light pink and her midnight hair fell in waves down to her lower back. With a body of an hourglass, she made any women he had ever seen look dull. Today she was wearing a red silky tank top with a black leather jacket and black tight jeans. Her red heals added some a few inches to her small form.

"I am. I believe this meeting has been ignored and I could feel their auras brushing against mine." Kagome said, her voice was pleasant to the ears and her laugh was like small bells ringing. Steve had finally admitted he had fallen for the Goddess and he was sure to have made it known as polite and gentlemen like as possible. Steve was about to tell her how she should be causes when he spotted the mansion Tony had built as the Avengers living area sitting on top of a hill, 500 feet below was the clear beautiful sea.

"This reminds me of my Fathers castle in Makai. He always let my sister and I swim in the ocean until my mother had supper prepared." Kagome said, a small smile graces her lips, which made the man nest to her hold his breath. Kagome knew the Captain had feelings for her, but she couldn't bring herself to love the human. She tried at first until she realized, he was not her chosen one. Fate made them friends, not lovers or mates. "You are almost there, just another few minutes and Mr. Stark will meet you by the front door. Welcome back Captain." JARVIS said before shutting off and the car pulled into a long drive way.

"Why would anyone leave such a stunning place?" Kagome said as she watched the trees and bushes past by with a calm look on her face, on the inside she was dying to Loki. 500 years had been too long for the Goddess and the joy she was feeling was wrong to express. She managed to make friends with the Nick Fury and convicted him that she was a good guy. It also helped when one of his researchers found the story of the Shikon and how she did indeed save the world from evil. "Well one would leave when they have seen the beauty that you possess." Steve said, hiding his blush by looking away from Kagomes questioning gaze.

"We are here." Steve said as he opened the door to the black town car and stepped out, holding the door for Kagome. She came out gracefully and thanked him. They both walked to the huge oak front door. In front of it was a man in a black suit and shinned black shoes. His black hair was messy and his goatee was brushed. Tan skin complimented his wise brown eyes. He was deviously handsome, but Kagome has seen better. "Cap 'tin. Hello Miss. Beautiful. My name is Anthony Stark, but you can call me Tony." Tony said before he took her hand and kissed it lightly.

"My name is Kagome. I would like it if you were not to touch me." Kagome said warmly, a small smile formed on her lips as she took her hand back. Steve muffled a laugh at Tony's awed face. "Well then, Ka-Go-me, let's go meet the others."

Loki was sitting silently on a plush loveseat, facing the huge windows that faced the ocean. His powers have been weakened but he still had a sharp silver tongue. Thor thought it would do Loki good if he was allowed to roam around the mansion and somehow, the avengers wing had been blocked off by a spell of sorts. Tony had made sure everything was extra perfect for today and that didn't sit well with him. He heard talks of a goddess coming and he hadn't thought about since. Loki was wearing black pants supplied by the man of iron and a deep green button up shirt and black dress shoes. His hair had been brushed back and he looked presentable much to Thors liking.

"This is the seventh sitting room; however this one has a killer view of the ocean! The sun sets are to die for." Tony gloated as Loki could hear heals and two other set of footsteps coming. "It really is a good way to use up any extra time when you're not training and it's a good spot for you to meditate when it's raining." The Captain said as the footsteps got closer and Loki could see their reflections in the mirror. Tony and the Captain he knew, but it was the women with them that made his cold heart stop.

He had only seen one other person with skin as pale as her, and the midnight hair was unmistakably hers. Memories of a certain goddess filled his head and his brilliant green eyes were wide when he realized the goddess behind him was the one he fell in love with 500 human years ago. "Kagome, I believe you already know this… god, Loki." Tony said broadly as he watched the villain before him stand and turn around.

Kagome held her breath when she saw his gorgeous eyes pierce into her blue ones. "Lady Kagome. It is a great pleasure to see you again. Even under… the circumstance." Loki said as he took a few steps with his long legs and wasn't too far from her now. Anger was clearly in his eyes when the Captain tensed and took a step closer to his old love. Tony seemed to have picked up on the slight tension and turned to look at Steve over Kagomes head. "You know what, it probably was a long trip for you guys, you know from Japan to this glory of a house I have built. Why don't we get some drinks, Cap? Loki you want some Scotch?" Tony asked with a charming smile and looked between Steve and Loki. "Yes, that would be greatly appreciated." Loki said kindly as he tore his eyes off of Kagome and nodded slightly at the Man, thanking him with his eyes.

"Thank you; you are a fantastic host, Mr. Stark." Kagome said with a small smile that made Tony slightly lightheaded. "Are you going to be okay Kagome?" Steve asked worryingly as he looked at the petite women next to him. "Yes, if anything goes wrong I will contact you."Kagome said as she continued to look at her old friend. Reductively, both humans left, Kagome and Loki just stared at each other. "Aren't you going to give me one of your famous hugs, Kagome?" Loki said lightly as they both laughed lightly. Kagome stepped forward and walked into his open arms and held him tightly. Both immortals held each other for a while longer before Loki pulled back and studied her.

"It's been so long, Kagome. I was starting to forget how perfectly you fit in my arms." Loki whispered as she wrapped her arms lightly around his neck. "Over 500 human years. I missed you Loki." Kagome sighed as she leaned into him, closing her eyes. Loki put his chin on top of her head. They both pulled away from each other and Loki led her to the love seat he had been sitting in before she arrived. "Tell me, what have I missed in your life before this faithful day?" Loki asked excitedly, realizing that Kagome Taisho, his first and only true love was sitting next to him after 500 years of missing her.

"I defeated Naraku, and Lady Sango and the priest wed. The Hanyou and the miko wed, and I was cursed by the Shikon to sleep until the world needed me once more. What about you, Loki?" Kagome said as she watched the emotions flash through his green eyes. "I am adopted. I tried to rule this world under the influence of a man with great power, Thor and I have been stuck here since our way home had shattered." Loki said it as if they were discussing the weather.

Before Kagome could say anything Tony and Steve walked into the room with drinks. "Kagome, you are in luck that I happen to fancy sour apple martinis!" Tony exclaimed as he handed a cup of Scotch on with ice to Loki, who thanked him. Steve handed her the glass that held her beverage and thanked him as well. Tony took a sip of his drink and walked towards the window and looked out to the sea. "This is a one of a kind view." Tony said loudly, ensuring everyone could hear him. "My father has a castle like this, in the world I had come from. The sky is red and the sea is the clearest blue you will ever see." Kagome said as she sipped her martini.

Steve stood behind Kagome as he watched how close she was to the fallen Prince; not liking it a single bit.

Loki's eyes snapped open when he heard his door creak open slowly. He moved to his side and saw something he had been craving to see. Kagome stood by the door way in a thigh high white sleeping shirt and her hair was slightly messy. Her blue eyes almost glowed as what little light shown in from the moon. "Loki?" Kagome whispered softly, looking at him with unreadable eyes. Loki moved and positioned himself so he could sit up. "Kagome, why are you awake so late?" Loki questioned as she shifted slightly. "I couldn't sleep… May I lay with you?" Kagome asked as she looked down, as if embarrassed.

Loki moved over and picked up his silky green sheet, welcoming her. Kagome entered the room and closed the door behind her with a soft 'click'. She lightly walked over and fluidly got into his warm bed. At first Kagome just watched Loki and vice versa, the space between them was at lease a foot. Little by little either Kagome or Loki scooted forward until they were both pressed together. "If only I meet you when I was older, I would have taken you as my wife." Loki said looking deep into her blue eyes. Kagome searched his own green orbs before tilting her head upward. "If only…" Kagome whispered before she placed a feathery kiss on his thin lips.

Loki tensed when he felt her soft lips against his own. When she pulled away his hands found their way to her hips, almost pulling her even closer than she already was. Her eyes questioned his as he tightens his grip on her. Loki placed a rough passionate kiss on her perfect lips and groaned when she kissed him back. It was one of many nights Kagome spent with Loki.

This one is for my beloved friend Kira and Kora Worajitti!

To your exact wishes.
