Hey everyone, It took me longer to post this one lol though not by much. Well here's chapter four! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in the story so far! (It's only four chapters in and I'm already tired of writing that)

"I don't think so" She said firing the arrow. It hit the demon just as a boy entered the clearing sword drawn. When her miko energy cleared the demon was injured but still trying to get the jewel. She drew the sword that Sesshomaru had made for her and charged it with her powers before killing the demon completely and purifying its remains before she noticed the boy. When she did her eyes opened wide in recognition. He was a few inches tall than her with spiked black hair with a white starburst in the center and ruby red eyes.

"Woman what are you" He questioned.

"A miko, demon" She said rolling her eyes as she sat down, a bit sad he didn't seem to recognize her.

"What are you doing out her on your own."

"I live at the shrine just to the west of here" She answered smiling.

"Why would you tell me of you family, how do you know I will not kill them."

"Because I can tell you wont because your aura is honorable." She answered standing up and sighing. "You're injured"

"It's nothing" He lied sighing, the demon had caused him a lot of trouble, he had a whole through his chest, just missing his lung and long gashes along his arms.

"You're lying, come with me, I know you're a demon and you can heal on your own but you don't want them to become infected before they heal" She said leading him back through the trees and into her home. She then pulled out her surgical thread and needle and began to stitch his wounds and wrap them after they had been cleaned.

That had been the beginning of their relationship, Kagome mused, and he still didn't know that she had known him in the past, though she did tell him partial truths like how her son had been killed and things but mentioned nothing of the past. He told her of his sister and his quest to find her and his missions as a spirit detective. She was currently waiting for him to return, from another mission.

"Kagome," She heard causing her to turn.

"What's wrong Souta" Kagome asked looking at her little brother.

"Momma wants us both downstairs, something's wrong Kagome and I'm afraid to find out" He said sighing; she did so to and followed him downstairs.

"Kagome, Souta, my sister has died," Their mother said sadly, "I can not leave Jii-chan in the state he's in, will you go make sure your Cousin Keiko is alright Kagome,"

"Of course momma, I'll go right now, just let me contact Hiei" Kagome said softly kissing her mothers forehead and walking back upstairs, leaving Souta to calm her mother down. She packed the things she would need and walked down the stairs to leave.

"Call me if you need anything" She said hugging them and leaving the house. Taking the car to her cousin's home across town. 'Hiei, I have had a family death and must visit my cousin for a while, please find me when you return' Kagome thought opening up the mind length she shared with her mate.

'I will find you love' He answered she smiled pulling up to her cousins home.

"Keiko" Kagome asked entering the house.

"Kagome" the distraught girl cried launching herself at her cousin. Kagome comforted her noticing the three other girls in the room. The first was older, tall with short dark brown hair and brown eyes, the second had dark blue hair and bubblegum pink hair, and the third had soft blue hair and silver blue eyes, Kagome recognized her as well.

"Keiko, why don't you introduce me to your friends." She said softly pulling the girl into the house and onto a chair with ease.

"Kagome that is Shizuru Kuwabara, Yukina, Botan" Keiko said pointing to each girl in turn, "Guys this is Kagome, my cousin"

"I'm surprised Keiko" Kagome said smiling at her cousin.

"About what" Keiko asked confused.

"That you associate with demons" Kagome said looking at Botan and Yukina.

"You know about the demon realm" Botan asked shocked

"Yeah," Kagome said smiling "I live on a shrine, my entire family knows of the demon world"

"Wow, now we don't have to be secretive," Shizuru said smirking at her friends. "Now I say we go to the mall and out to eat and have some fun"

"I agree, you need fun right now Keiko," Kagome said helping her cousin up and into her car, the other girls following.

Well There it is! Let me know what you thought!
