FD: here's the next oneshot. it was a hard one to write. now read and review.

"speaking"

'thoughts'

FD: any author notes (A/N) are the voices in my head interjecting their thoughts into the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yuyu Hakusho or the movie from which this quote was taken.

Pairing: Kagome and Hiei. The quote is actually a conversation.

Unspoken Attraction

Kagome stood there looking down at the now ordinary well and sighed. 'All done and the Shikon Jewel is now back where it came from.' Giving one last glance she headed towards her house.

~FD~

Meanwhile four guys, a ferry girl and the prince of the spirit world were watching her.

"Okay, Koenma, not that I'm complaining, but why are we watching the girl?"

"Yusuke she's your next assignment. You four have been requested by the Lord of the West and his nephew to protect the girl from demons that get through the barrier. They would do it themselves, but it is far too dangerous to have the girl step foot into Makai. Shippo, the nephew, may be making brief appearances to make sure you're doing your job."

"If we are to protect her from demons, why us? Hiei, Yusuke and I are demons. Also, why are two demons, wanting her protection. And what is her name?"

"I do not know why they chose you. Shippo only said that you guys are similar to people she knew so it may make it easier for her to accept you. As for the reason they want her protection it's simple; Shippo says that she was his surrogate mother and she's friends with Lord Sesshomaru as well as what she has would be dangerous if any demons got a hold of it. The girl's name is Kagome. Any other information you want, you'll have to ask the girl herself. Now Botan will take you to her shrine. Oh, one more thing, send Kuwabara to her first, we don't need you three getting purified by her."

"Okay, boys let's go."

"Why would we be purified?" Yusuke asked.

"She must be a miko," answered Kurama.

All headed through the portal and stood looking up at the stairs that led to Kagome's house.

"You couldn't take us directly to her house," Yusuke grumbled.

"Nope. We don't want to scare her or her family."

"Guys I suggest we go up. Hiei is already up there," said Kurama.

They headed up the stairs and when they reached the top they found Hiei waiting.

"Okay, Kuwabara, go knock on the door."

"That won't be necessary detective," said Hiei, "She's coming out."

~FD~

Kagome was busy doing nothing. 'Great back to a normal boring life.' As she got off her bed and headed down to the kitchen for a snack, she paused as she felt three demon presences and a human with strong spiritual energy. Quickly she headed outside to see four guys roughly around her age standing there.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"I'm Kurama and these guys are Hiei, Kuwabara and Yusuke," he said while pointing to each.

"We're here because Lord Sesshomaru and another demon named Shippo requested us to protect you."

"Sesshomaru and Shippo? They can't do it themselves? Why?" She asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"It's too dangerous to bring you into Makai. The demons would attack you constantly for whatever you have on you."

"What I have on me? Oh, the Shikon Jewel."

"Shikon Jewel?" Kurama and Hiei asked.

"Uh, yeah. It's a long story so why don't all of you come in and I'll tell you."

~A month later~

Kurama and Yusuke made their way to Kagome's house to make sure she and Hiei hadn't killed each other.

"Yusuke, I don't think we should have left those two alone together. You know they can't stand each other."

"I know, but we had no other choice."

As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, Kagome came stomping out of the house and headed past them and down the stairs with Hiei glaring at her back from the doorway.

"You talk with her and I'll handle Hiei," said Kurama.

"Okay," answered Yusuke as he took off after Kagome.

Kurama laughed as he approached Hiei. 'He's trying to avoid his feelings.'

"So, what happened last night?"

"Nothing," Hiei growled back.

"Oh! An unspoken attraction!"

"Attraction? To that skinny little brat? Have you lost your mind?"

"I was only asking a simple question…"

"Attraction…ridiculous."

Kurama was about to respond when they both felt demons heading straight for Kagome. Hiei quickly bounded off completely forgetting about Kurama.

"Lost my mind have I Hiei," Kurama stated to himself as he headed towards Kagome as well.

~FD~

"Crap, how many are here?"

"I don't know Yusuke, but we can bet that they're all after me."

"Let's hope the others sense them and get here soon."

Kagome and Yusuke got ready as the demons began they're attack. Just as the demons charged toward them, a black blur flew by and most of the demons fell. Kagome watched as the black blur landed directly in front of her.

"Hiei," she whispered.

A slight turn of his head and she knew he heard her. A blush bloomed across her face. She watched as he and Yusuke kept the demons away from her. 'This is not good. One of the demon's aura disappeared. Where did it go?' Her question was answered when searing pain crashed over her.

"Kagome!" Hiei and Yusuke called out.

~FD~

Hiei growled and immediately took out the demon. Then he knelt down next to Kagome.

"You okay?"

"Just peachy," she grounded out.

"Hn."

"So, now we're back to that," she joked.

"Kagome!"

They both turned to see Yusuke and Kurama.

"You finally made it fox."

"If you hadn't left so fast, I would have been right behind you."

"You rushed here Hiei?"

He turned to Kagome and looked at her lying there, bleeding.

"You need to be bandaged."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Hn," Hiei replied as he picked her up and rushed back to her place, leaving to very stunned demons behind.

When they reached her house Hiei quickly put her down and got bandages.

"Take your shirt off."

"No!"

"I need to bandage your wounds."

"Fine," she replied as she attempted to remove her shirt, only to hiss in pain as she lifted her arms.

"I'll take care of it," he replied as he shredded her shirt, so it laid in pieces. He carefully bandaged her wounds and then gave her his cloak to wear.

"Uh, thank you Hiei."

"You're welcome."

She looked at the tattered pieces of her shirt.

"I'll do it," Hiei said as if he read her mind. (A/N: he didn't just to let you know.)

"You don't have to, really, you can just leave. I'm sure Yusuke and Kurama…"

She stopped talking when she felt Hiei's lips on hers. Neither pulled away until Yusuke and Kurama came barreling into the house.

"What's going on?" asked Yusuke.

Hiei glared while Kagome buried her face in his chest.

"Detective…" Hiei growled out with a threat hanging in the air.

Kurama answered Yusuke's question.

"It seems they are attracted to each other."

"Fox," Hiei growled out.

"Hiei?"

He turned down to Kagome.

"Are you really attracted to me or were you just trying to get me to shut up?"

He looked into her sapphire eyes and kissed her again.

When he pulled away he asked, "Does that answer your question?"

"Yes," she answered as she snuggled deeper into him.
