A week later found the girls at Kagome's shrine with her family.
"Kagome, I was wondering, would you like to get an apartment with me, and we're both old enough" Keiko asked softly.
"Why do you ask Keiko" Kagome asked confused.
"I don't want to live alone, and I cant stay in my house because it reminds me so much of mom, and I don't want to stay here and be a burden to your family." Keiko said softly
"I would love to but, I'm not sure how my mate would take it" Kagome said not noticing her slip until it was to late. "Umm I mean Boyfriend."
"No Kagome you said mate, as in demon," Yukina said giggling.
"Now spill what's he like, what kind of demon is he, why didn't you tell us" Botan asked smiling at her evilly.
"I have no way out now" Kagome said laughing at them "He's a few inches taller than me, with black hair and red eyes; he's cold until you really get to know him. He's a fire/ice demon, and he wanted to keep the relationship secret because of his many enemies. You cant use me against him if you don't know I exist"
"Oh MY GOD" Keiko said wide eyed.
"What?" Kagome asked seeing their wide eyed faces.
"That sounds just like HIEI" Botan said giggling until she noticed that Kagome looked like she was about to bolt. "IT IS HIEI"
"Shush Botan" Shizuru said smiling at Kagome, "At least he's happy"
"Now all we need to do is find Yukina's brother" Keiko said smiling
"You mean you don't know" Kagome blurted out before she could stop herself.
"You know who he is, tell me please" Yukina asked desperately.
"Only if you swear you did not hear from me" Kagome said seriously "He didn't want me to tell because he doesn't want to be rejected again, but its Hiei"
"I understand, I'm a little hurt he didn't tell me though" Yukina said smiling as the girls decided now was the perfect time for an apartment.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kagome sighed as she picked up a box, it had been about a month now since she'd seen Hiei and she was worried. She and Keiko had found a three story house in the woods not far from either shrine and made their home there. They had even invited the other girls to live with them, which all agreed because there was enough rooms for Shizuru's little brother and a few more. They were currently moving into the house.
"Kagome what's on your mind?"
"I'm just hoping Hiei gets back soon, I have this feeling something's wrong" Kagome said sighing.
"I have that feeling too and by now I know not to ignore it" Shizuru said sighing. The girls unpacked everything and sat down that night sighing in content.
"So what are our plans for tomorrow?" Keiko asked looking at the girls.
"How about we visit Koenma and see where to boys are." Botan suggested smiling at them.
"We'll see in the morning," Kagome sighed as they went to bed. At midnight Kagome shot out of bed and ran into the hall, Shizuru meeting her there.
"You felt it to" she said sighing.
"Yes, we have to get out of here, get the others," Kagome said walking back into her room and grabbing a large bag they had seen her carry in but not unpack.
"What's going on?"
"We are under attack; do any of you know how to use a weapon, any weapon?" Kagome asked looking at them.
"I can use throwing stars and daggers" Keiko said taking the daggers and stars Kagome handed her, Yukina sighed shaking her head no,
"Give me the staff and whip" Shizuru said sighing. Kagome nodded handing her the weapons before pulling out a large boomerang made of bone, three swords and her bow and arrows.
"Let's go, we need to get further into the forest so that no human sees us, do any of you have a way to get to the boys." Kagome asked as they moved towards the back doors.
"I'll go now, take this so I can find you" Kagome nodded taking the tracking system and handing it to Yukina.
"Botan, tell Hiei that it is concerning Kagome and he will know to come, don't mention any more, he will tell them when he's ready, then I need you to go to the Sunset Shrine and make sure my family is alive, bring them here if they are." Kagome said as they found a cave. Botan nodded disappearing.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "YUSUKE, KURAMA, HIEI" Botan yelled as she flew through the area that the boys were suppose to be in.
"WHAT Botan, you're giving away our position" Yusuke said irritated.
"That isn't important, the girls are in trouble, Hiei I was told to tell you that it concerned Kagome, Keiko, Yukina and Shizuru are also with her" Botan said not missing the angry look on Hiei's face.
"Open the portal now"
