Chapter 8: Too many of you…

Kagome walked outside. The other two had gone to the market to get some food, that wasn't old. They had finally cleaned everything out, and right then, Kagome was sitting on the cliff looking off into the ocean. She could feel demon aura's all around her, but none were threatening. When she turned around to glance at the house, she found two people coming over to her, with someone tied in some sort of rope being dragged over.

The person tied up looked to have tape or something over his mouth. He had gravity defying black hair with what looked like a white starburst in it. Red eyes glaring holes into the two people's backs. He wore all black, and was kind of short, but Kagome didn't really care about his height. It was the fact that he was struggling to get free, and the two humans were doing everything they could to get him to stop.

She could clearly see that he was bleeding all over. Scratches and cuts, with bruises that were not healing like they should-him being demon and all- and all she was doing was watching them come over to her.

They stopped right in front of her. "You are knew here, aren't you?" The woman asked. She had short, really curly blond hair and brown eyes. She wore a dress that had all different kinds of flowers all over it.

"Yes. Why?" The demon seemed to stop struggling when she spoke in a calm voice. He stared at her, then glared. She did nothing…yet.

"We need to throw him off of this cliff, if you know the rules, you would know of the consequences for certain things." The man replied. He had brown hair, with a mustache and beard, and blue eyes. He wore slightly baggy tan pants, and a checkered blue and white shirt. "You will be receiving gifts from the other citizens when they find out about your living area."

"Why throw him off a cliff? Why not have someone else take him? At least then, you don't have to worry about anything else." Kagome stated, looking at the guy.

"Why? Do you want him?" The woman asked laughter evident in her voice.

"He is too strong for you, girl." The man laughed, hand loosing grip on the rope, until he retightened his grip, that is.

"Not really. I have a bunch of brothers across the road. Besides, I don't want anyone to get tossed off of my cliff." She shrugged, staring at the man while holding in her anger at technically being called weak.

"Your cliff? How is this your cliff?" The man asked, smile turning into a frown, and all signs of laughter gone.

The demon quirked a brow. 'This is bothersome. I need to get out of here. This is unsold property anyway…it's demon property.'

"'Cause I just bought the property, smart one. That's my house over there." She pointed to the house they had passed.

"Oh…umm…Martin, I think you need to pay them back for the damage on the side…"

"You damaged the side of my house!" Kagome said in a dangerously calm voice. Anger radiated off of her in waves. "What did you do!"

The man-Martin- started stuttering. "I-I on-only ma-made a ho-hole in th-the side of it!"

"Only made a hole? Only made a hole! Maybe I should only make a hole in your face! Get out of here!" Kagome got up, and stood right in front of him.

"I-I'll give you the demon, and pay you back! Only if he sits next to you without trying to escape, will I give you the demon though!" The woman said, stepping in front of Martin.

"Fine. What's your name, and the place you can be located at." Kagome asked, in her still deathly calm voice.

"Marisa. You can find us up the road, more towards the market. Ask the first store where we live and that's how you'll find us." The woman-Marisa- said.

"Good. You better not be lying." She sat back down, calmer than before. Then looked at the rope. "Well? Are you going to let him come over here?" She asked impatently.

"Yes ma'am." Martin pulled the rope, and the demon fell down in front of him.

Kagome frowned. "Help him stand." She commanded. He obeyed, and helped him up.

Walking a little further over towards her, he stopped.

"I'm not going to push you off, if that's what your wondering." She said, patting the ground beside her.

He walked forward more, and when he was beside her, he sat down. Martin wasn't holding the rope at all, and was just as shocked as Marisa when he complied by sitting down beside the girl.

"Now leave, scum." Kagome said, throwing a glare at them. When the two were out of eyesight, Kagome turned to the demon. "Now to get you out of this mess…this is going to hurt." She said, taking an end of the tape, she ripped it off his face. Then she turned to the rope. Taking the end that Martin was holding before, she tried to follow that to the none existent knot. "What's your name?"

He was quiet for a bit, then answered. "Hiei."

Kagome looked up, clearly not expecting him to answer. Then smiled. "I'm Kagome. It's nice to meet you Hiei. Now can you tell me where you think the knot, or whatever it is, is at?"

He moved his wrists a bit, and there the knot was. Kagome reached forward, and started to undo the knot.

"Would you like to stay here?"

"Hn. It's not like I have a choice."

"What do you mean by that? I am giving you a choice, and we do have a lot of room." She stopped trying to untie the knot to look at his face with confusion.

"They gave me to you. I am your slave now. You could do whatever you want with me." Hiei said while giving her a glare. She just stared at him.

"That's just crap!" She exclaimed, then grabbed his wrists and began with untying the knot again.

He looked at her with shock for a second, before his face was wiped clean of any emotion. "Hn." He looked at his wrists, then turned his head back to the ocean.

When it finally came undone, she took it off of him. "So, in other words, we got our self a helper." She said with a triumphant smile.

He just kept on staring at the ocean. "Who's we?"

"My sister and best friend."

"I do not need to follow their orders." He stated, turning to her. "Only yours."

"…Okay?" She asked, cocking her head to the side a bit, before stating: "You look tired." When he didn't reply, she simply shrugged. "Go to sleep."

He stared at her again. Normally, when a demon, any demon looked or acted tired, or anything, they either got beat, or had to have more work. She didn't seem to care much about anything she was supposed to do or say, when having a servant/slave/whatever.

"I said sleep. Not stare. You can sleep here, or I can show you to your new room."

'I can sleep inside…?'

"-It's not like I'm going to make you sleep in some old rusted barn, or something like that anyway. Now where?" When he began to get up, she smiled, and stood as well. Taking his hand, she rushed into the house, up the stairs, and a little down the hall. Stopping in front of a door, she let go of his hand and opened it. "This is your new room. Rest up! There is still a big day ahead of us! We have to go see my mom and help my brothers out! Sleep, sleep, sleep!" She pushed him into the room, and ran down the stairs chanting: "Gotta get some water! Gotta get some water!" over and over again.

Hiei sweat dropped. 'Strange girl…' Then walked over to the bed and laid down on it, instantly falling asleep.

Kagome ran around looking for a bucket of some sort, before stopping. "Kanaya, could you find me a bucket of some sort to fill with water please? Sayon, could you find some bandages and herbs of some sort to get rid of infections? I'll find the rag."

'Alright, Kagome.' They both replied, going to get the supplies.

Kagome searched through drawers until she found a suitable clothe, and grabbed another just in case. Walking back to the bottom of the steps, Kagome found herself looking down at a first aid kit, with everything needed in it, and a bucket full of water.

"Thanks!" She picket up the supplies, making sure to be careful, and walked up to Hiei's room. Opening the door, she set the stuff on the floor by his bed, then grabbed a chair, and began to clean and bandage his wounds. He didn't wake up at all. When she was satisfied that he wouldn't get any infections, and was healing properly, she picked the stuff up and walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

Hiei woke up around noon and sat up. Finding himself with no wounds, and a few bandages, he got up and walked out the door, confused. Seeing the stairs, he walked down, and followed the hall that lead to a kitchen. In the kitchen, he found Kagome sitting there talking to nothing. Walking in, he waited to see if she realized he was there.

'Kagome, you have a visitor.' Sayon said, laughing slightly at the confused look she gave him.

'He is the one you were telling us about, right? The fire apparition?' Kanaya asked.

"Oh! Yup! Did you want some water or something to drink Hiei?" Kagome asked, turning to Hiei.

He gave a short nod, coming into the room more, and sat down on one of the stools. 'She's delusional.'

She set a cup of cold water down in front of him and sat down in her chair. "We'll be leaving in a few minutes. I just have to take the laundry off the line. Be back in a sec!" She said cheerfully, running outside with a basket in hand.

'She's going to spoil him.'

'I agree.'

Coming back inside a few seconds later, she put the laundry away, along with the basket, then came into the room. "Ready to go?" He gave a curt nod, and they both walked out the door, after locking it.

Walking down the dirt path, Hiei decided to observe how she took everything in. She seemed to like the forest, by the look of her turning her head to look at it every so often. So far, all he could tell was that she was nothing like what he had expected from the way she overreacted to the hole in the house. (His opinion. I wouldn't want a big hole in my house, that's for sure…)

"KAGOME!" A loud yell came from behind. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING!"

Kagome turned around and walked back the way they had come.

"Who's that?" Another asked.

"This is Hiei, yes he is a demon, and he was given to me as partial payment for the big old hole that now resides in the side of our house. Plus he was…kinda gonna be thrown off of our cliff…Hiei, the loud one is my friend Sango, and the other is my sister Midoriko." Kagome introduced.

"Hello." Midoriko said with a kind smile.

"Hey." Sango said, then looked back at Kagome. "There is a hole in our house? Who's the one that did it, where does he live, and when can I kill him?"

"Now, now you two, calm down. Where were you going to go now, Kagome?"

"To see mom."

"We can go there in a little bit, but first, we are having guests come. Seems we have become popular within the town."

"Yeah. We are receiving 'gifts' as they call it." Sango added. Holding the bag up she added in: "Look at all the free crap we got from the store! They even offered to let us work there, saying something about us growing stuff and selling it to them."

"Hm. What do you think Hiei? Should we do that, or do you think we should try for something else?" Kagome asked. They all looked at him.

"Hn."

"Awww, come on! You have been here longer than us! Tell us if there is a better job! Please?" Sango asked, getting on her knees and folding her hands together in a prayer position, while giving the puppy dog eyes.

Hiei avoided her eyes. 'What the hell are they doing! They are all crazy!' "Hn."

"Please tell us?" They all asked.

"Do it if you want, just to get paid. Find a job better after."

"OKAY!" They all said cheerfully, grabbing his arm, Kagome pulled him into the forest by the entrance.

"Scare them, Kagome! Scare them!" Midoriko laughed. "You help too Sango. I'll take the stuff and watch from the other room. Actually, Sango, you could tally how many Kagome actually scares, and take a picture with that camera you got."

"Okay!" Sango gave her the food, and hid in the bush opposite, while holding the camera, pencil, and paper in her lap. When she found that she wouldn't be able to see well, she picked everything up and climbed the tree.

Kagome, who had been watching, decided to do that as well, so she could jump down. Hiei took a branch above her. "Tell me when they are almost here." He nodded, and watched for them. All the while thinking about a friend that he somehow knew was in trouble, and coming this way.

"Two demons with two females are coming from your right."

"Type of demons?"

Hiei was quiet a second before replying. "Ice and wind."

"Kay." Kagome got ready to jump off of the branch right in front of them. She watched the area before seeing the two women, with two male demons on either side of them. When they reached the spot, Sango smirked and Kagome jumped, landing directly in front of the two. "HELLO!"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" They yelled, running the way they had come.

"How rude." She scowled, then turned to the two demons that stood staring at her.

One had red hair that was kinda long and bushy, and a horn was seen in his hair. He had purple bluish eyes, and pointy ears. He wore a white like shirt thing that was in the shape of an X, and white pants with a blue belt.

The other, on Kagome's left side was a guy with blue hair with green bangs that covered a bit of one of his eyes. His eyes were blue, and he wore a black t-shirt and black pants.

"Hello there, what are your names?" Kagome asked, giving them a happy smile.

"Touya. That's Jin." The one on the left said.

"Well it's nice to meet you! I'm Kagome! Were you sent here as a 'gift'?" When they nodded she looked up at Sango. "Need any help?"

Sango gave her a thoughtful look, then replied. "Could they tally the expressions?"

"Ummm…Jin! Go up and help Sango." He flew up by her, and then sat down on the branch right next to her. "COOL!" They both exclaimed.

"There are two more humans coming up with an inuyoukai. They are close." Hiei stated, looking down at Kagome, watching her face light up.

"Up the tree!" She exclaimed, running up to the tree and climbing it. Touya sat up by Hiei. The two gave a nod to each other as greeting.

Touya replied to her. "There are three more humans with an older inuyoukai and two dragons. One older than the second."

"Add another Dragon. Middle." Jin said, coming back down to Kagome's branch, then going back over to Sango.

"I lub this." Kagome whispered. When they got to the spot she jumped down, doing the same thing as before, scaring the women and making them hide behind the men.

"Who are you?" One of the men growled, holding one of the women.

"Why, I am me! Who are you?" She asked back, taking a look at the demons. One whom she recognized and was getting excited about. The one recognized smirked at her.

"I asked you first!" The same man snarled.

"And I answered! Who-Are-You!" She asked again, laughing. That seemed to upset the man even more, for he started to move forward.

Standing in front of her, he asked again. "Who-are-you?"

"ME! That's who I am! My name is me! Me, Me, Me! Hahaha!" She laughed, not even a little afraid of him.

When he was about to hit her, Hiei jumped down, grabbing the man's arm and pushing him backwards. He stood in front of her, waiting for the man to attack again.

"It's okay Hiei. Don't worry about it." Kagome said softly. Hiei glared at the man again before jumping back into the tree. "I think you need to think before you act, sir. You could get yourself killed if you didn't." she said, then looked back at the others. "Sorry about jumping out and scaring you. It's just…boredom, I guess."

At this, they heard a snort from above them. They all looked up into the tree.

"I resent anything you are going to say about that comment!" She yelled up, and in response, Sango started laughing, almost falling out of the tree if not for Jin holding her up. Kagome glared at her.

"Anyway! Whatcha here for?"

"We heard you were new to this area. Marisa told us actually, so we came to give you some gifts. Does anyone else live with you?" One lady asked.

"YUP! My sister is inside, and if bothered will probably throw kitchen knives at you. Then my laughing maniac friend-"

"I resent that!"

Kagome smirked. "-Lives with us, along with the others in the tree. My step-brothers are across the road, which we will be housing anything that goes there most likely. Plus, I think they found some new toys…anyway! My mother is up the road, but yet again, no one will go there. Understood?"

They nodded.

"Good. Have a pleasant day!" Kagome waved as they all walked away. "You should start knocking people out if you're going to push, Hiei. That would be more interesting. Now, onto my other business. AKIRA!" She flung her arms around his neck, hugging him, then let go and dropped to the ground. "Next time, TELL ME WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE! Bad Akira! Bad!" She pointed while scolding.

"It's nice to see you too Kagome." He said, amusement dancing in his eyes. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Not now! Gotta scare more people! Go hide!" She said, re-climbing the tree. The one she found in the woods stared at her as well. She seemed different, yet not. They hid in the trees as well then. "Anyone?"

"No." Touya answered.

"Four humans from across the road." Hiei then said, staring right at them.

Kagome smirked, waiting for them to come closer. She watched as Bankotsu came underneath the tree, and she jumped down, pulling him to the ground. She laughed, quickly getting up and running.

"GET BACK HERE KAGOME!" He yelled, getting up and running after her.

"WHY WOULD I DO THAT!" Kagome yelled back. "THAT WOULD BE SUICIDE!"

The demons jumped out of the tree and walked back with the other three humans. Walking up to the house, the demons sat on the ground and watched. Hiei was watching the forest more, though.

Kagome, feeling that something was wrong, spun around and faced her brother head on. He tackled her to the ground, and they began wrestling. Finally, Midoriko walked over to the two and grabbed them by their shirts, pretty much chocking them both.

"I give!" They both yelled out, and Midoriko let go. Rubbing their necks, the two glared at each other, then walked two different ways. The three then turned to look at the newer demons.

Akira had long greenish hair in a high ponytail, with piercing blue eyes. He wore a navy blue short sleeved haori, with black hakamas, he had a bluish green eye shadow, and the bluish greenish stripes, one on each cheek.

The oldest inuyoukai wore a white with blue haori and white hakamas. He had golden eyes that had magenta eye shadow on them. One jagged purple stripe was on each cheek, and his long silver hair was in a high ponytail, he also had stripes on his wrists.

The second inuyoukai looked almost exactly like the first, except for a few things. One: He had smooth, not jagged, magenta stripes. Two: There were two of them on each cheek. Three: He had a purple crescent moon on his forehead. Four: He had his hair down, and Five: His eyes were cold and there were no emotions showing.

The next, dragon youkai, was their friend from the forest, Shima.

The younger dragon youkai looked just like Akira and Shima. He had long blue hair that wasn't in any binds, and greenish bluish eyes. The same color eye shadow was over his eyes, and the same color was on his smooth striped cheeks. Two stripes on each side.

Kagome walked over to Hiei and sat down beside him. "Something wrong?" She asked, looking at the woods. She could faintly feel something coming on the road.

"Hn." Was all she got for an answer.

"A friend of yours?" At his small, hesitant nod, she got up. "Then lets go get him!" With that, she ran into the forest. The others looked confused, but Midoriko and Sango were sprinting after her soon after, leaving the demons to run after them.

When they got to the road part where they could see a gorgeous red head, with green eyes getting beat by an ugly chubby guy that was wearing a tight blue uniform. Another skinny guy with brown hair and eyes, with the same uniform on stood there with a smirk watching.

"That should teach you for pulling out that whip on us." The skinny guy said smugly. The other had stopped beating on him and roughly yanked him up with the rope. "Now let's go."

In the bushes, you would find very unhappy people watching. "What are you going to do about this, Kags?" Midoriko asked.

"Aren't you going to help?" She asked back.

"Neither one of us is. You can do this, Kags. Besides, I don't have my weapon, and I am still trying to perfect my skills." Sango said. "We will back you up, if need be, though."

"Yes."

"…Alright…"

"So what are you going to do?"

"Lie my head off, and pray that I still don't suck at it." She walked out in front of the three. "There you are! I've been looking for you! When were you going to bring back those vegetable seeds I asked for?"

"You know him ma'am?" The big guy said.

"Yes I do, sir. He said he would go to the market to get the stuff I needed." Kagome lied. 'God I really suck at this…'

Play along, fox.

"I am sorry I didn't get to bring them. I will get them now, if I am allowed to be released."

"Sorry ma'am, but we can't let him go." The skinny guy said, catching the lie.

'Crap!' Kagome mentally screamed.

Midoriko says she gives you permission…I am in your head, onna.

'That is awesome!' She let a small smirk come onto her face as she ran forward and kicked her leg up, sending the skinny guy flying. Then, in that position, she swung her leg to the side, kicking the big guy in the head, and making him fall, after kicking him again in the stomach. She grabbed the knife that she found on the ground and cut through the rope. Throwing the knife into a tree, she grabbed the red heads hand and ran. "Run!" She exclaimed excitedly, running through the forest back home.

When they got back, the humans were all panting, and threw themselves on the ground, while laughing. Laying on her stomach, Sango decided to ask the guy they helped his name.

"Sooo…what's your name? You couldn't be nameless, could you?"

"I am Kurama. Thank you for helping me." Kurama said with a slight bow.

"No prob. I'm Sango, that is Kagome, and that is Midoriko. Would you like to stay here?"
