Hiei and Kagome

Kagome's POV:

I was running silently over the forest floor. The moss and leaves crunched softly under my feet. I could see only the faint movements of my enemies. They were on each side of me and one was above me. I cursed all demons with camouflage abilities. I need to get in a clearing or somewhere open so they wouldn't have much if anything to camouflage with. In the trees it was impossible to fight them because they blended in with everything. I was quick though and my reflexes good so I was fine for now. I sighed and kept running as I slipped into my memories.

~~FLASHBACK~~

We jumped for joy. Naraku was dead. I calmed a little and looked around. We were outside the ruins of the slayer village. It was ironic that the very place Naraku had destroyed was his grave. We had fought long and hard and now he was dead. Sango was the only one not wearing at least small smile. She was holding her dead brother in her arms. She wasn't crying but looked like it was the end of the world. Kohaku had turned on Naraku at the last moment. He said he had remembered everything. Because of his help we had won, but not before Naraku killed him. Miroku was comforting his fiancé, along with Kirara. Shippo was chasing bugs and eating a chocolate bar. Koga and his two companions were sitting in the shade talking among them selves.

Sesshomaru, Jaken, A-un, and the teenage Rin were standing beneath the trees. Rin was laughing, Jaken was even smiling, and Sesshomaru looked blank but kept his eyes on Rin. Inuyasha was gazing off at nothing. He had a look that said Kikyo. She had also died in the battle. I walked away from the group and grabbed the tainted jewel. In seconds it had purified. I grabbed my shards and those of Koga`s and put them in my hand. Everyone looked up as it flashed pink. When the glow faded, I had the whole Shikon No Tama in my hand. Everyone starred as in a flash of white a spirit appeared. Everyone came closer as the spirit of Midoriko stepped forwards. She smiled at everyone.

``You killed him, now you have the jewel. I wish to tell you that the Shikon No Tama only has one set of wishes left. After you use it, it will cease to exist. No matter if the wish is selfless of selfish. One good thing though is everyone here gets a wish."

Everyone cheered at this. Midoriko laughed softly.

``You have earned every wish you get. Now I must go."

She jumped back and faded away leaving only a memory and a soft drifting laugh. I handed the jewel to Sango and she took it and quickly whispered something. Suddenly Kohaku sat up and blinked. Sango lunged at him tears of joy streaming down her face. Miroku grabbed the jewel before it hit the ground. He wished to have his wind tunnel back, but one that wouldn't eventually kill him. Then Shippo grabbed it his eyes sparkling. He whispered something and suddenly in a blue flame a fox demon that looked like him appeared. He lunged at the man yelling `Father`. Then Kirara trotted to the dropped jewel. She touched it with her nose and mewed. Suddenly a bunch of people appeared. Sango and Kohaku cried out and lunged for a man. I found out it was their entire village.

I smiled and gave the jewel to Koga. He wished for the same power he had had when he had had the jewel fragments. His two right hand men also wished for enhanced speed to keep up with him with. Then I tossed the jewel to Jaken who caught it. He wished for a more strength too. His staff got an extra attack; a blast of ice to freeze enemies. Then Rin picked up the jewel. She glanced at Sesshomaru before wishing to be a demon. The, now fifteen year old, girl grew fangs, claws, purple stripes, and pointy ears. Her hair also grew longer and her eyes turned amber. No one but Inuyasha and I saw the next action of the girl. She lunged at Sesshomaru and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him deeply. Sesshomaru`s eyes opened wide. Then he grabbed her waist dipping her and kissing back.

I smiled and silently congratulated them. Inuyasha was starring at them with a look of absolute horror and shock. I smiled and waited till they finished. When they broke for air Rin was grinning like mad. Sesshomaru was smiling brightly witch scared me a little. He then used the jewel to bring Kagura and Kanna back to life and get himself his arm back. The two had died in the fight but they had also turned on Naraku and we had found out they hated him too but had been bound to him. Kagura and Kanna both thanked him when they heard what he had done. He ignored them and kissed Rin again. Rin and Sesshomaru had started to make-out which the others now saw.

Both Kagura and Kanna starred at them with mouth's hanging open before Kagura grabbed a feather and they took off. Miroku whistled and the rest ignored the new couple. Then Inuyasha grabbed the jewel. He looked at me sadly. His ears quivered. He turned away and made his wish. Kikyo had appeared but she was now a half demon. She had soft small black cat ears and claws and fangs. Inuyasha had hugged her tightly. Now everyone was watching us closely. Even Rin and Sesshomaru had stopped making out to watch. When Inuyasha let go of Kikyo he turned to me looking a bit ashamed. I stepped up to him and I saw him tense. I wrapped my arms around him in a hug which he nervously returned. I put my mouth near his ear.

"I wish you happiness my friend."

He had sighed with relief and whispered an apology. I gave Kikyo a hug to and told her the same thing. She seemed to have lost her bitterness. She thanked me and then kissed Inuyasha. I looked back at everyone else. The slayers except Sango had headed into the village. Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, and A-un waved at us before running off into the trees. Koga ran up to me and put his hands around mine.

"Kagome, I'm going to marry Ayame. I promised and if I marry her our clans will have peace."

"I wish you a happy marriage."

He smiled gratefully at me and took off with the other two. Then Inuyasha and Kikyo hugged me again and we said our final farewells. I cried softly and waved as they leapt into the trees. Then Shippo leaped into my arms. I hugged him and he cried softly. I also felt tears slide down my face. His father walked up to me with a smile. He bowed.

"Thank you for caring for him."

"It was a pleasure to look after him. You have a wonderful son."

"I know."

I handed a sobbing Shippo to him and wiped my tears away. The two walked off and I waved a farewell. Miroku and Sango then walked up to me.

"Are you going home now?"

"Yes. I've been gone for four years, with the occasional visit."

"Come back sometime if you can."

"I will."

"Do you want Kirara to take you to the well?"

"No. I will walk. I am capable of taking care of myself."

I gave them each a hug and the monk a slap when his hand went lower then necessary. Then they waved and headed into their village. I swallowed tears and grabbed my back pack heading off into the bush. Over the years I had learned the bow and my miko powers to perfection. Sango had taught me how to wield a knife and dagger, and I knew a little about the sword. Miroku had also taught me how to use a staff. Now I had a foot long knife and a dagger at my waist, with a bow and quiver of arrows with my backpack. I didn't have a staff or sword but I could always use a large branch. They had also taught me hand to hand combat.

I still hadn't made my wish but I had one in mind. The only problem was that if I made the wish it would change my life. I had to think about it for a while. So I put the jewel away and headed off for home. When I finally reached the dry well I quickly jumped in. I walked to my house and headed upstairs. I usually yelled I was home but right now I was deep in thought. I quickly changed and changed my clothes. Then I grabbed my purse and headed off. I decided to make my wish, but first there were a few things I wanted to get and a few things I had to do.

I headed out of the house. But first I found my mom and said hi and told her where I was going. Then I found my brother he asked to come with me and I shrugged. The two of us headed out the door and headed for the first store. We talked and I told my brother what had happened. Then I told him my plan. He was sad but he agreed not to tell till I did. I thanked him and we continued on. We quickly shot through three stores and headed off to another one. My brother asked about seeing my friends. I hadn't seen them in three years. I had quite high school cause it was to troublesome.

Grandpa had told them I had moved so I hadn't bothered to visit them. I told my brother and he shrugged. My brother stayed close to me as we walked into a sketchy part of town. I walked past abandoned buildings and alley ways. When I finally reached the store I wanted I walked in. My brother clutched the back of my shirt and followed. We were silently greeted by a large man with black hair and blue eyes. He smiled crookedly at us.

"How may I help you?"

"Do you have any long knives?"

His mouth twitched in amusement.

"A gift?"

"For myself."

He laughed but quickly turned and headed into the back. I looked around. There were swords on the walls, with axes, spears, and staffs. It was the only store I knew off that sold weapons with out questions and suspicion. I walked to a wall and pulled a staff that could fold in on itself so it was only two feet long. I put it on the counter and waited. The man came back a minute later with a couple of boxes. He opened the first and showed a four foot long knife. It was very delicate looking and as thin as paper. It would most likely break as soon as it met another blade.

I scowled and looked through some more boxes. Finally I picked a two foot long knife. The end was slightly curved and it wasn't too bulky. I also picked a half a foot long dagger. It was pretty but deadly. I paid the man for the blades and foldable staff them I quickly put them in my bag and pulled my brother out. The man counted my money and told us to come again. I pulled my brother down the street to an open part. I stopped and faced eight men who walked up. They all wore lopsided grins and fingered knives. I set my bags down and pushed Souta behind my back. He quickly took a step back. I pulled out my folded up staff and waited. One laughed as he stepped forwards.

"Hey babe, want to have some fun?"

"No."

"Well to bad. Hey guys kill the boy, and take all valuables and money. I'll deal with the broad. I'll 'persuade' her to join us at my place."

The men laughed and popped pocket knives open. I watched calmly. The first ran at me. I waited.

"Sis..." Souta said.

The man was practically on top of me. I spun popping the staff out and nailing the man in the stomach. He flew back past his friends and hit a wall. His friends starred at him then turned to me. They quickly surrounded me and I grinned.

"Hit the ground." I whispered to Souta.

He laid flat on the ground and covered his head. The men leaped and I spun. I hit three men into walls or sent them flying. One man nicked me with his knife, and another hit me on the head with the butt of his knife. Everything flickered but I stayed conscious. Souta rolled away as a man lunged for him. He quickly stood up and ran towards me. I ran at him. I saw a man easily grab him. I called out and lunged but a felt pain in the back of my head then everything blurred and I was on the ground. I took a ragged breath. I heard my name in the distant. Then everything faded.

--

I opened my eyes with a groan. My head was pounding. 'Stupid and careless.' I told myself. I could easily beat that many people. But I had left myself wide open when jumping to Souta. I should have thrown my dagger not ignore the others and run for him. I looked up at a ceiling fan. I blinked and then remembered what happened. I sat up and was immediately pulled back down. My hands were bound above my head with a rope that was also tied to a bed post. My legs were free but useless. Suddenly a door opened. I looked to the side to see the man come in dragging a fighting Souta. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be unconscious. I looked through my lashes though. The man threw Souta against a wall. I saw my bags beside Souta. The man walked over to me and slapped me hard. I opened my eyes and glared at him.

"I kept the boy alive. If you so much as twitch the wrong way I'll kill'em. Well then wench, let's have some fun."

He pulled a knife free and cut my shirt. I gasped. I glanced at my brother who was sneakily rooting through my bag. I saw him slip the dagger behind his back. I smirked at the man who was now on top of me. He scowled. I set a blast of my miko powers to the rope. They disintegrated. Then I kneed him in the crotch and rolled of the bed. I then hit the pressure point on his neck and he fell unconscious. I ran to my brother. He had the rope off his hands and my bag on his back. He smiled at me then closed his eyes. I blinked and realized I was half naked. I saw a dresser and pulled out a shirt. I pulled it on before dragging my brother down a flight of stairs. I knocked two people out on the way. We fell into a living room and blinked at the fifteen men in the large room. I saw my staff in the corner I dived for it. I came up and whipped it out. I quickly knocked ten of the men out. Then I broke bones of the last five. Suddenly I heard a cry. I turned and froze. An extra man had a knife against my brother's throat.

"Drop the weapon, bitch."

I glared but dropped the staff. In a flash I yanked my knife my free and hurled it at the man. His shoulder was pinned to the wall. He screamed and dropped his knife reaching to pull the knife out. My brother slipped around him and then whipped my dagger he still had at me. I froze. The dagger went past me and embedded in the hand of a man sneaking up on me. I gasped and starred at my brother.

"When did you learn that?"

"Inuyasha taught me once when you were at school."

Then I grabbed my dagger and knife and turned to the two men. They were both on the floor clutching their wounds. The whimpered and grovelled.

"Don't kill us please. We were just following our bosses orders." They cried.

I ignored there begs and advanced on them. They started to sob. I slammed the butt of my knife on their heads knocking them out cold. Then I grabbed my bags. I rooted through pockets and took the money and stuff they had gotten from me, and no more. I grabbed a cell phone and checked the address of the place. I phoned the police and told them about some thieves and murders in the house. Then I threw the phone in a mug of beer, so the police couldn't trace me with the phone and so the beer would destroy my finger prints. Then I pulled my brother out the door. We trotted down the street and didn't stop till we were on a busy street. We headed for home quickly. When we reached our front door I glanced at my brother.

"Not a word to mom."

"Yeah, I know. She'd freak."

We stepped in. I hid my weapons and slipped up the stairs. I quickly grabbed a small blue backpack I had gotten. I stuffed a warm but plain coat in it, plain clothes, personal hygiene stuff, a first aid kit, some flint, a small coffee pot, a pan and pot, a bowl, some chopsticks, money from the other era I had got, and some small snacks. I set a pair of clothes, the sacred jewel, and my weapons on my desk for the next day. Then I slowly descended the stairs. I sat at the table and we all ate dinner. Then I helped clean up. I had a quick shower before I hopped into bed. In the morning I woke early and got ready. When I came to breakfast I was ready to go. My mom and grandpa stared at me as I ate. I was wearing a pair of brown cotton pants with a white shirt. I had my bag beside me and I had my weapons strapped on, which included my dagger and knife, my staff, and two small daggers Sango had given me long ago. When I was finished I stood up.

"Mom, Grandpa. I'm going back through the well. I'm going to stay there."

My mom and grandpa gasped.

"I'm going to use the sacred jewel to become a demon. If I live for the next five hundred years then I will see you again, but if not then...well, we'll have to wait and see."

My mom jumped up and hugged me tight.

"When will I see my girl again?"

"If I survive then very soon for you, if not then I won't see you again."

My mom hugged me to death and cried. My grandfather dabbed his eyes and Souta looked down at the floor. Finally I gave grandpa and Souta a hug. Then I grabbed my stuff and headed out. I waved once before disappearing in the well.

~~END OF FLASH BACK~~

I jumped a log and kept running. When I had appeared again I had used the jewel and became a demon. Now I had longer hair which I kept in a ponytail. I had claws and fangs. I still had brown eyes and now my ears are pointy. All my senses had enhanced and I could run faster and farther, jump higher, and was stronger. I liked being a demon. The well had sealed, as I had guessed, when I made the wish. All I had to do was survive five hundred years to see my family again. That was all fifteen years ago. I had visited the others but always wrapped myself in an illusion so that I looked like I would if I were still human. So everything appeared normal.

Sango and Miroku had gotten married, and now had a daughter named Kagome, thirteen, and two twin sons, named Sei and Rei, nine. They had rebuilt their village and it was prospering. Kagura and Kanna were seen every once and a while, but not often. Kikyo and Inuyasha had also wed and had two children. One boy named Miroku who was a ladies' man now at fourteen, and a girl named Midoriko, eleven. The children were half demons but the only demon looks were small dog ears, claws, and fangs. Shippo had gone through a growth spurt and was now taller than me. He and his father were also well and Shippo was courting another fox demoness. Rin and Sesshomaru had married and had a son named Inutaisho. Jaken stayed with them in the west and still scowled and rambled on. Everything was going fine and everyone was happy. I sighed and kept running as I fell from my memories, dodging branches and such. Suddenly I broke into a clearing. I whipped around and pulled my two long knives out. The three lizard demons stepped from the trees and hissed.

"Bring it on." I whispered.

They lunged at me.

--

I kicked the last body out of my way. I sighed and swiped the blood from my blades. I yawned and decided to find a place to stay for the night. I was going to search when I heard an explosion. I looked to the north to see a cloud of smoke rising from the trees. I sighed and shot off jumping from branch to branch. After a few minutes I reached a circle of charred trees. I saw scorched marks everywhere. One tree had literally exploded. The sap had heated and burst spreading giant dangerous splinters around. If anyone had been hit by them they would become a pin cushion. I scanned the area quickly.

There were three bodies burnt to a crisp and I couldn't tell if they were human or demon. There was a forth demon that had two giant splinters in his back, poking right through him. He was another lizard demon and couldn't use fire. I sighed and started to look for whom or what did this. I found a trail of blood leading into the trees and hurried off following me. I knew there was a village nearby and if he attacked the village, the people would be in trouble. I found the demon in five minutes. He was leaning against a tree.

He had black spiky hair with a streak of white. He had a black cloak and was short. He had a sword at his hip and his breathing was ragged. He was unconscious and had a splinter in his arm. I bent down by him and examined him with my miko powers. When I had become a demon I had kept my miko powers and learned to use them better. I found out the demon wasn't that tainted, and had three broken ribs, a broken hand and a broken bone in his leg. He also had some poison in him from the lizard demon. I found out, with a quick analysis of my miko power, that he was a fire demon. He also was strong but young.

I sighed. 'He isn't tainted so he must be relatively good, and I sense no bloodlust in him.' I sighed again and gently picked him up. We couldn't stay here. The explosion and faint smell of blood would draw other demons. I quickly shot through the trees towards the sound of water. The demon in my hands was light. Too light and I wondered when he had, had a decent meal. I sighed. I soon found a small river and a waterfall. I touched the ground and set the demon on a bed of moss. I used my power and set up a barrier that would keep those I didn't want close, away. I quickly healed the demon and left him against the tree.

The sun was already setting. I sighed and used my miko power to make sure the demon would stay asleep at least till morning. Then I shot off once again through the trees. I soon reached the small village. They knew me and their miko welcomed me. I explained about the explosion. Then I asked for some supplies. They happily trotted off to get me the stuff I had asked for. I gave them money but they refused I had to force them to take it. I had saved them all once from a large group of lizard demons, and then exterminated most of the ones in the forest. They thought they owed me. In the end I got them to accept a little money. Finally I got away. I headed back for my camp. I touched down in the clearing and sighed. It was well past sun down. I set the stuff on the ground along with my pack. I pulled my cloak from my pack and sat beside the spiky haired demon. I laid my cloak over us both and leaned against the tree. I soon drifted off as the comforting blanket of sleep wrapped around me.

--

I woke with the sun and groaned. I stood and stretched. I glanced at the demon. He was sleeping soundly and looked peaceful. I laid the cloak back on him and stripped before jumping into the pool at the base of the waterfall.

I groaned and laid still. I felt comfortable. I was warm. Then it hit me and I sat up quickly. The last thing I remembered was fighting the demons. Then I had dragged myself away from the battle ground. I remembered falling in to darkness after leaning against a tree. I looked down at myself. I was surprised to find I was wrapped in a green cloak. I blinked as I realized nothing hurt. I knew I had broken bones and a splinter, from the tree I had exploded, had been in my arm.

I looked around cautiously. I was in a small clearing. There was a waterfall falling into a pool that led into a small river. I was leaning against a tree on a bed of moss. The birds were chirping happily. I noticed two bags on the ground near the waterfall. I saw a small fire with fish cooking over it. I had to pull my eyes away from the food. My stomach reminded me how hungry I was but I wanted to know what had happened first. I stood and the cloak fell off. I still had my sword and fire was ready to help me. I glanced around.

A woman came into view. She was quite pretty. She had long ebony hair in a ponytail. She had soft brown eyes, lips that begged to be kissed and a stubborn chin. She was wearing plain brown clothes but they showed every curve. She was thin but not too, and she was average height. She had small claws and fangs. At her waist were a long knife, three daggers, and a folded staff. She was carrying a handful of sticks. She spotted me and flashed me a soft, warm smile. I kept my face blank but watched her suspiciously. She set some more logs on the fire and sat next to it. She took some fish off the fire.

"Come on you must be hungry."

I was, very. I cautiously walked over to her and took the fish she held down. I sat across from her and quickly but politely ate the food. When I had finished the first bit she handed me more. She didn't question me just gave me food. I didn't care if it was poisoned I was hungry. When I finished she smiled at me.

"Who are you and why did you help me?" I asked quickly but calmly.

"My name is Kagome. I was once a human who became a demon using the Shikon No Tama. I helped you because you need the help and because I could."

"Thanks. My name is Hiei."

"You're welcome Hiei. "

Suddenly the woman stood and stretched. She grabbed one of the bags and tossed it too me.

"That's for you."

"Thanks."

"I'm sorry but I must be going."

"Nh."

"I hope I'll see you again sometime."

"Nh."

She smiled and grabbed the other bag. With a wave she leapt off into the trees. I waited till she was gone before I moved. 'Well that was a fast meeting and conversation.' I thought. Then I looked into the bag. It contained food, money, and other small items. I blinked then smiled. I stood up and filled a small canteen with water before heading off in the opposite direction.

For years I traveled around not doing much. I learned more fighting skills, I learned certain abilities I had, and I visited my friends. And… I was there for Sango and Miroku's funeral. They had died within a day of each other. It pained me deeply to watch the two being buried in their graves. But I held back tears till I was alone. Kohaku had become the leader of the slayer village, and he had married finally and had a daughter named after his sister.

It really pained me to see the girl who looked like her aunt, and their children who also looked like them. I would miss them deeply. Shippo had married the fox demoness. But three months after a stronger demon had killed her. Shippo had been sad but he slowly got over it. He didn't marry after that but he seemed happy. Inuyasha and Kikyo were also happy. Their children were growing quickly and they were happy too. The same for Rin and Sesshomaru. Most of my friends were still happy and alive, but Miroku and Sango's deaths affected me deeply.

After they passed on I didn't see the others unless from the shadows from where they couldn't see me. I missed the days we had traveled together. I knew that Sango and Miroku had to die sometime but it still hurt. They had been close friends and Sango had been like the sister I had never had, and Miroku had been like a big brother. Kohaku had told me that in their last days together they had been happy. I prayed for them and moved on. I would always remember them. Over the years I saw Hiei too. We became friends and often ran into each other. Sometimes these meetings were more embarrassing then happy. He had walked in one me naked in a river or spring more then once. But still we were great friends. I became a master spy and a master at stealth. For a long time I lived in the shadows.

After two hundred years I had left Japan. I had traveled the world. I traveled everywhere. I made friends, I lost some, and I had a long good life. I was happy. I saw new places, met new people and learned new things. As demons started to disappear I disguised myself as human. When I was close to my four hundredth birthday I opened a business. At first it was small, but then it grew huge. I made money and kept traveling. I bought the land of the old slayer village, which had miraculously stayed standing, and kept Miroku and Sango's graves untouched. Sango and Miroku's family members also were buried there including Kohaku, Kirara, and their children who had died there. I had also learned that Sango's bloodline was still alive and she had living people with her blood in them in Japan. I was happy and loved my life even the sad parts. Finally on my five hundred and nineteenth birthday, I returned to Japan.

--

I walked up the flight of stairs leading to the Higurashi shrine. 'Yesterday' had been the day I had gone to the past and became a demon. Finally time had caught up. I had wanted to come earlier but didn't want to disrupt time. I had watched from the shadows though as my family and 'my other self' prospered. Now I could visit them. I walked to the door and knocked. My brother answered the door and blinked.

"You're back already sis? I thought you planed to be gone for a long time."

I fell too my knees. I hugged him tightly as I cried. I had missed him so much. My mother had found me crying in my brother's shoulder as my brother looked confused and awkwardly patted me on the back. When I had finally calmed down they sat me in the kitchen and asked me what was wrong.

"I'm just so happy to see you. I missed you so much." I said tearfully.

They blinked.

"You've only been gone a day, honey." My mother said.

"To you it's been a day but for me I had to wait five hundred years."

My mother got a look of understanding on her face. I cried even harder now. After a half an hour grandpa came in too. Souta explained to him and they agreed to take things easy around me because to me I hadn't seen them in a long time even if to them it had only been a day. That night at dinner I babbled about my adventures. When I told them what company I owned they almost fainted. That night I sighed as I lay down in my old bed. It was comfy and I felt happier then I had in a long time.

--

The next morning I woke early and had a quick breakfast. I had a few things to do. First I had to go visit some people I hadn't seen in a couple of hundred years. I pulled my hair in a loose ponytail, and pulled on a pair grey business pants with a white shirt tucked in and a small grey jacket over that. It all fit nicely and I felt made for the suit. I didn't put any make up on but I pulled on some small black shoes though. When I was ready, my mother said I looked so business like. I smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. My brother came running down the stairs mumbling about being late for school. I grinned at him.

"Hey Souta want a ride to school?" I asked.

"Do you even have a driver's licence?"

"I'm over five hundred years old of course I have one."

My mother waved goodbye as we ran down the shrine stairs. There was a garage at the bottom that was in the hill. I had parked my vehicle there last night. I opened the garage and my brother gasped and stared.

"That's you vehicle?"

"Yeah, got a problem with that?"

"No! That's awesome!"

I grabbed a helmet and pulled it on, tossing him an extra I had brought. He pulled it on quickly. I pulled the vehicle out of the garage. The sun bounced off my brand new red motorcycle. It was the latest design and I loved it. I started it and pulled my brother on behind me. We took off down the road as my brother laughed. When I stopped at his school he slid off and his friends gathered around him.

"Hey Souta I'll pick you up after school if I can, if I'm not here by the bell just head home."

"Kay, sis."

His friends gasped and started asking him about his biker sister. I just revved up and peeled out of the lot. I easily drove down the roads. When I finally reached my destination, I parked my bike and tore my helmet off. I straightened my hair and clothes. I walked into the doors of the huge building. I walked past guards and other people up to the front desk. A lady looked up.

"May I help you?"

"Yes, I would like to speak to Mr. Taisho."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No, but he'll see me."

"He's really busy at the moment. If you would like to make an appointment…"

"No. He will see me now. Just phone him and see." I said calmly.

She looked me over. Her eyes rested on my calm, commanding face, and she picked the phone up. She looked sceptical though.

"What is your name?"

"Tell him it's an old friend."

The woman blinked but dialled the phone.

Sesshomaru's POV:

I was sitting at my desk finishing my last paper when the phone rang. I picked it up quickly.

"Yes?"

"Sorry to disturb you Mr. Taisho. But there is a woman here insisting she would like to see you."

"What's her name?"

"She said to tell you she's an old friend."

I blinked.

"What does she look like?"

"She has long black hair and soft brown eyes..."

There was pause.

"She said to tell you that she has a proposition for you. Do you wish me to call the guards?"

"Don't call the guards, just send her up. I have time to meet her."

I hung the phone up and quickly put the papers away. I thought of the problems I need to see to after this meeting. For one I had to try and meet with the owner of Drywell Co. The owner was supposedly in town. It was a large company as large as mine. It owned a chain of five star hotels that were all over the world. It also owned a chain of clothes stores. They made custom designer clothes. It was a rival company to mine. Taisho Co. wasn't about to fall apart or anything and it wasn't about to be taken over or challenged by this company but I still wanted a meeting.

The reason I wanted to talk to the owner was because they owned a piece of land that had once held the slayer village, and my brother the vice president of Taisho Co. wanted to keep the place cause his friends had been buried there. I had tried to buy it before but been unsuccessful. I sighed as I waited for the woman to get here. After a few minutes I heard the elevator open. My office was on the top floor of the building and took up the whole floor. It was more of a small home then an office. I glanced to the elevator to see a woman walk out. I blinked at her. She looked familiar. She looked to be in her early twenties but she seemed serious about something. She wore appropriate clothes and I knew she was her for a reason other than to fawn over me. Even though I was married women still chased me as if I would change my mind about staying married. She stopped in front of my desk and looked around.

"No cameras?"

I blinked.

"No."

"Good. You don't have to wear that disguise around me Sesshomaru."

I blinked again. She had called me by my first name and sat down without an invite. Usually I would kill people or at least have them thrown from my building for that. She seemed really familiar though and I didn't know why. She sighed and looked around.

"Nice office. Is Rin around?"

"No."

I lifted my illusion so I looked like the demon lord of the West. She smiled softly almost sadly.

"It's nice to see you again. Is Inuyasha around? Do you know where he is?"

"How do you know my brother? And what do you mean 'see you again'?"

"Don't you remember me Sesshomaru?" She asked slyly with a smirk.

I blinked at her.

"It's me Kagome."

I let my calm façade slip and gaped slightly.

"But the last time I saw you, you were over fifty and we were at the slayer village."

"I'll explain but I only want to do it once so if Inuyasha is around could he come here?"

I nodded and picked up my phone. I dialled my brother's cell number and waited. We had worked out our differences out in last five hundred years and now worked together. The phone rang and after a couple of seconds I heard a click and Inuyasha's voice.

'What's up Sesshomaru?'

"I need you in my office. Now."

'Well that's easy. I'm already in the elevator.'

"Nh."

I hung up.

"He's already coming."

Immediately elevator dinged and opened. Inuyasha, Kikyo, Rin, and Shippo walked in. They saw me in demon form and also took off their illusions. They saw Kagome and waited patiently but warily. She turned to them and smiled. They gasped.

"Hey Guys."

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes."

"That's impossible. The last is I saw you, you were over fifty and at a funeral."

"That was an illusion."

They all blinked then sank in the chairs and on the couch as they watched Kagome. She cleared her throat and began.

"My wish on the sacred jewel was to become a demon."

She shimmered and suddenly a demoness was in front of us.

"I tricked you because I didn't want you to know. I've been around for the last five hundred years. I kept track of you guys. But I traveled all over the world. I came back to Japan because yesterday I jumped through the well and never came back through it. It been five hundred years for us but to my family I left yesterday. The well's time finally caught up to me."

We sat for a minute and filled in a lot of blanks. Finally Shippo who had been quivering lunged at Kagome, knocking her to the floor as he hugged the life out of her.

"Shippo can't breathe." She gasped.

He finally let go. When she stood up everyone else gave her a hug. They all babble for a while and even I threw in the occasional question or comment. Then suddenly Inuyasha looked a little sad.

"We've been trying to buy the land Sango and Miroku's graves on but Drywell Co. Owns the land and won't give it up." He said suddenly. "We're worried they'll tear the place down."

"I know." Kagome said.

"I'm going to try and get a meeting with the owner and negotiate with them." I said.

"No need."

I blinked at Kagome.

"Why not?"

"Cause I own the land the graves are on."

"What?!" You bought it from Drywell Co.?" Inuyasha asked.

"No. I own Drywell Co."

My mouth fell open. My rival company was owned by an ally. Everyone else also looked shocked.

"What?" Inuyasha asked quietly.

"I was the one who created Drywell Co. Get why I named it that?"

I remembered that she had traveled through the dry well. 'I should have wondered what kind of person would name a company Drywell.' I thought. Everyone just sat and talked for a while longer as they caught up. She told us what had happened in the past five hundred years for her and we told her the parts of our lives she didn't know. Finally I stood.

"Let's go out for lunch." I stated.

Everyone agreed and we disguised ourselves and headed for the elevator. Luckily I had built a large one. When we got to the bottom floor, the guards, and people in the room stared at our group. When we exited the building we headed for the parking lot. I quickly got in my Porsche with Rin. Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Shippo went and got in Inuyasha's mustang. Inuyasha offered Kagome a ride but she said she had her own vehicle. On the way down we had agreed to meet at a certain restaurant, so Rin and I pulled out and headed off. Inuyasha followed right behind us. When we arrived at the restaurant we parked and waited for Kagome. Suddenly a red motorcycle came ripping into the parking lot at a fast speed. Inuyasha and Shippo looked enviously at the bike. The person stopped quickly beside us and slid off the bike. I watched as the person pulled their helmet off. We all starred as Kagome straightened her hair. Inuyasha spoke first.

"You got a bike! Awesome!"

He was there in a second with Shippo looking it over. Finally we dragged the two inside and sat them down. We all ordered and ate. We stayed for about two hours as we ate and chatted away. Finally Kagome stood up and asked for the bill. We protested but in the end she paid for all of us. Then we headed outside. When we reached our Vehicles we stopped.

"I'll see you later guys. I have to go pick my brother up. I'm also going to go back to high school. I never finished so I'd like too. Of course I'm past a university level in my education but I'd still like to go. It'd give me something to do."

We nodded and waved as she peeled out on her bike. My brother and the fox watched the bike closely and I knew they would each have one soon enough. I sighed and jumped into my car. Rin jumped in beside me and kissed me before we pulled out and drove off.

Kagome's POV:

I picked my brother up and drove home. After I made a few phone calls I was enlisted in a high school. It wasn't my old one but I couldn't go there if I had wanted because I would be recognized. The high school I had got into wasn't known for being calm and peaceful though. It was full of fighters, punks, and hooligans. I didn't mind though, I actually had hoped to find a school like that. I picked up my uniform from them after dinner and told them I'd be there in the morning. I sighed happily. It would be nice to be back in school. The last time I had been in school was fifty years ago when I had went to a university in Germany. I went to bed that night excited.

--

In the morning I sat up quickly with the sun. I turned my alarm clock off since it wasn't needed and quickly got my uniform on. It was similar to my old one but the skirt was longer and it was blues and whites instead of greens and whites. I also changed my disguise appearance. Now instead of looking nineteen, I looked to about sixteen. I quickly ate and grabbed my books. The school was top far away to walk to and I had gotten permission to ride my bike so I hopped on the bike and pulled my helmet on. I drove easily to my new school and parked my bike. I was a bit early so only a few kids were already there. I found my locker and put my stuff away before exploring. When the bell rang I headed for my class. When I arrived I was introduced to the class.

"Class this is Kagome Higurashi. I hope you will treat her respectfully."

His voice said it was unlikely. I bowed.

"It's nice to meet you." I said.

I heard some nice comments from the boys and rude comments from the girls but ignored them all. The first people I noticed were three at the back. One had an enormous spiritual energy the other also had a large spiritual power. The last boy had long red hair in a ponytail. He was a demon in a human body. I took a seat next to the one with the largest spiritual power.

"Yo. My name's Yusuke, that's Kuwabara, and Shuichi."

"Hi. I'm Kagome."

For the rest of class we talked and pretty much ignored the lesson, but the teacher didn't seem to care. Then at lunch three girls pulled me aside.

"Kagome, you shouldn't go near Yusuke and Kuwabara. They're dangerous."

"Yeah, they're some of the strongest gangsters in the city. They haven't been beaten once yet."

"Well Kuwabara has been beaten but not Yusuke. Shuichi is nice though. He hangs out with them but he's a gentleman."

The girls sighed at Shuichi who was in the back of the room. I nodded. They warned me to stay away from them but I ignored the warning. For the next week I became known as the smartest teen in school. I also became known for my motorcycle. Most of the people thought it was awesome that I owned one. The guys always asked about it and some even asked for rides. Boys also asked me out everyday even though I refused all dates.

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Shuichi and I all became good friends. I also started to call Shuichi, Kurama. He said it was a nickname his friends used. I had noticed after the first day that Yusuke and Kuwabara never called him Shuichi. I also learned a girl named Keiko was Yusuke's girlfriend, and Botan was their friend. I didn't meet Keiko though because she was sick at first, then she was in another class and we seemed to just miss each other every time we met with Yusuke and them. Their 'friend', Botan I could tell wasn't alive. She was a spirit or something.

Then one afternoon I got a surprise. I was talking to the three as I got my motorcycle ready to go when Botan ran up and pulled Yusuke off. They started to talk quietly. Kuwabara just huffed and waited tapping his foot. Then Kurama blinked and smiled slightly. He waved past me.

"Oh Hi Hiei." Kurama said looking over my shoulder.

I gasped and spun, to see Hiei coming towards us. He looked bored. He nodded to Kurama. He stopped near Kurama and waited as Botan and Yusuke continued talking. I just stared at him trying to gather my thoughts. I was really glad to see him. I had missed him a lot. I hadn't seen him for three hundred years. He didn't appear to have changed at all except he had grown and I felt that he was stronger. I could also tell he had advanced in his fire control. Suddenly he seemed to see me watching him. He blinked at me as if he partly recognized me. I just stared into his eyes a moment and he did the same. It was really nice to see him again. I had missed him and tried to find him, but hadn't had much luck.

"Hiei." I finally laughed breaking our starring contest. "It's nice to see you again."

Yusuke and Botan stopped talking and turned towards us. Kuwabara was looking at us stupidly and Kurama blinked and glanced between us. Hiei blinked at me again.

"It's me Kagome." I smiled.

He gaped at me.

"Kagome?" He choked out.

The others were watching closely now. The others seemed surprise by his reaction. Even I had rarely seen him show emotion.

"It's so nice to see you."

I swooped over and gave him a hug. He had grown a lot and was almost as tall as me. The others were staring open mouthed at us. I kissed him on each cheek and he gave me a hug back. Now the others looked like their eyes were going to pop out.

"You know Hiei?" Kurama asked.

"Yeah we met..." I paused.

I glanced at Hiei who nodded to say that he trusted them.

"We'll explain in private." He said.

The others were still in shock. Then they shook their heads and we walked off down the street. I just pushed my bike beside me. We finally reached a home and Kuwabara told me it was his. I left my bike on the side of the house. We walked in quickly. There was already someone there. A woman who was introduced as Kuwabara's sister. She was smoking and watched everyone. We all sat and I looked at Hiei.

"You trust them? It is safe?"

"Yeah."

I glanced at them all before I lifted my illusion. They gaped again and Kuwabara's sister dropped her cigarette. I knew they could tell that I was powerful, but not how strong. I was actually stronger then most demons. I had guessed that five hundred years of training could make anyone strong. I myself could at least rival Sesshomaru.

"You're a demon." Yusuke choked out finally.

"Yes."

"I didn't sense you even though you were right beside me." Kuwabara said.

"That's because I used a very advanced illusion."

"When did you meet Hiei?" Kurama asked.

"Five hundred years ago."

They all whistled.

"Even I'm not that old." Kurama said.

Hiei spoke up.

"I haven't seen you in three hundred years. Where were you?"

"I traveled the world."

"Nh."

"And you still owe me, don't think I forgot."

Hiei winced and the others blinked and looked for an explanation.

"She saved my life the first time we met. Then she saved my life about seven other times." He sighed.

Yusuke laughed.

"I always thought you hated having help."

"I do."

I smirked.

"And you owe me big time mister."

He sighed again.

"But what have you been doing Hiei?"

"Traveling. Last year we all went to a tournament together. We won of course."

"Good for you."

"I also help Yusuke, Botan, Kuwabara, and Kurama. They are spirit detectives."

Botan cleared her throat.

"Well... we need to get down to business."

Everyone turned to her.

"We have a mission from Koenma. He said that he's been keeping an eye on Taisho Co. and Drywell Co. He said they are each owned by powerful demons. He said they haven't done anything yet but he needs to make sure they're on our side."

Suddenly a small kid appeared.

"That's right."

Then he looked at me and scowled.

"I don't know anything about you either."

"Well I'm five hundred and nineteen. I have been traveling the world."

"Mmh. We'll have to put you in our data base. But that aside, you need to check out the owners of these companies. If they aren't on our side or neutral with us we need to dispose of them."

I burst out laughing. Everyone starred.

Hiei's POV:

We watched Kagome as she laughed non-stop. She started to choke from the laughter. I saw tears in her eyes. She gripped her side as silent laughter shaked her frame. She finally calmed down and wiped her eyes sitting up. Laughter still escaped a little. Finally she sighed and grinned at us.

"What is so funny?" Konema Jr. asked.

"You want these four to dispose of the owner of Taisho Co. and me?"

"I never said you."

"Yes you did. I'm the owner of Drywell Co."

My mouth opened slightly along with the others.

"Well...that solves one problem. You are our ally or neutral with us right?" Koenma Jr. asked.

"Yeah, we're neutral."

"What was that about Taisho Co.? And how come we couldn't beat him?"

"Well I know the owner. You wouldn't have a chance in hell. At least not at your current strengths."

"Who is it?"

"Sesshomaru."

Koenma gasped and started to stutter. We all waited for him.

"You mean Lord Sesshomaru? The demon lord of the west?"

"Yes."

"Oh… Well then we'll call of the exterminating him."

Everyone blinked at him. I had heard of Sesshomaru. He was the strongest of the four demon lords, and he was cold.

"Why?" Kurama asked.

Kurama was too young to have known him when he ruled without having to hide as a human.

"Sesshomaru Taisho is the demon lord of the west. He controls all the demons in the west; in both this dimension and the Makai. If he died then those demons loyal to him would run amuck. He's also powerful. He could squish all of you, except may be her…. And maybe Hiei." He said.

Kagome nodded in agreement.

"You know Sesshomaru?" Koenma Jr. asked.

"Yes."

"Could you arrange a meeting with him?"

"Do you want to see him now?"

"Could we?"

"Let me see."

Kagome pulled a cell phone from her bag and dialled a number. We waited. Suddenly she smiled.

"Hi Sesshomaru."

...

"I have some people with me who you need to meet."

...

"Your house."

...

"My house?"

...

"Okay then, see you in an hour."

She hung up and grinned at us.

"We'll meet him at my house in an hour."

"Okay."

"We should probably head out now."

They all nodded. She grabbed her phone again. She dialled and gave someone the address we were at. I was about to ask who she'd called when suddenly the door opened and four people walked in. Everyone blinked at them.

Kagome's POV:

"Yo Jin." Yusuke said cheerfully.

"Hi Yusuke. Hope you don't mind that we dropped in."

"Not at all."

They all talked for a moment. The one named Jin was a wind demon. There was one human who I could tell had spiritual power. The human, a kid, had a cap on and stars on his cheek. He had a yo-yo in hand and was sitting on one of the other demons shoulder. The other demon was tall. He had a Mohawk and a bottle of beer. He seemed friendly. The last demon had blue hair and I could tell he was an ice demon, though I didn't know his rank. They talked quickly with the others. They all looked relatively human, and only disguised the demon parts. Finally Jin noticed me. He blinked and jumped over to me. He leaned down and looked at me. He blinked and gaped.

"You!"

He jumped back and stood ready to fight. Everyone glanced between him and me. His ears quivered.

"Hello Jin, nice to see you again."

"You know each other?" Yusuke asked.

"We met a hundred years ago. I was traveling and I came upon a clearing in a large forest. She suddenly burst from the trees and attacked me. She cut off most of my hair, and got me in the arm. Then a second one of her appeared. The one who attacked me turned into an illusion demon and she killed it. She healed my arm and said I looked funny with my hair short. Then she left. It took weeks for my hair to grow back!"

Yusuke stifled laughter, Kurama smiled, and Kuwabara roared with laughter. The human also laughed and the demon, whose shoulder the human was sitting on, laughed loudly. Koenma and Botan grinned and the ice demon chuckled. When they calmed I stood up and grinned.

"Well are we going?"

The four new comers blinked but the others stood up.

"Yes." Koenma Jr. said.

Suddenly he turned into a human with a soother. I frowned and pulled it away. He complained but I tossed it to Hiei who burned it to ash. Koenma gaped and worked his mouth then he sighed. Yusuke high-fived me and laughed.

"So how do we get to your house?" Yusuke asked.

"You're going to her house? Why?" Jin asked.

"Business." Koenma said.

"You can come if you want." I said.

"Sure." The three chorused and Jin sighed okay.

I threw on my illusion. I quickly gathered up everyone and shooed them out the door. They all blinked at the limo waiting there. Then Yusuke rounded on me.

"When did that get here?"

"I phoned right after I made the meeting."

"We get to ride in that?" Kuwabara asked.

"Yes."

The front door opened and a tall black haired man stepped out.

"Good evening Lady Kagome."

"Hello Kei."

"Where are we going?"

"Home. And you will take these guys? I'm going to ride my bike."

"Hai."

I pushed Yusuke, Koenma, Kuwabara, and Kurama in. The other four just stared at the limo and Hiei got in himself.

"That's yours?!" Jin asked.

"Yes. Hiei and they can explain." I said.

The four slowly got in. When they were in I slammed the door and watched them drive out. I grabbed my bike and pulled my helmet on. I was about to take off when a girl came walking up. She had a bag on her shoulder and it looked like something wanted out. She smiled at me and skipped up to Kuwabara's door. I decided to wait. His sister answered the door.

"Hello Keiko."

'Guess that's Keiko Yusuke's girlfriend.' I thought.

"Hello. Is Yusuke here? I found his beast hoping in this direction. I couldn't let it keep going or it would have been seen, but it seemed to want to see him. It doesn't like to be away for too long."

A muffled 'peep' came from the bag. Kuwabara's sister saw me.

"He's not here right now. They all went off to do a mission, but if you give the beast to her, she'll give it to Yusuke."

Keiko looked at me and blinked. She thanked her, and hoped down the steps to me. She looked me over. I smiled.

"Hello Keiko it's nice to finally meet you."

"You know Yusuke and them?"

"Yes. We are in the same classes. I was just about to go see them."

"So you know about demons and such?"

"Yes, I'm a demon myself."

"Oh, well then here."

She opened the bag and a small blue 'thing' jumped out. It had the face of a penguin, long ears, a stocky little body, a tuff of hair, and tiny feet and hands. It flapped the ears and flew over to me. I laughed as it dropped on my head.

"I'll make sure he gets it."

"Thanks."

"Do you want to come?"

"No, I promised to meet my friends."

"Okay then bye."

"Bye."

She waved as she trotted off. I grabbed the beast on my head and put him in my coat. His head popped out at my neck and he peeped. I laughed and flipped the visor down on my helmet. I started my bike and shot off towards my house.

Hiei's POV:

We all sat down in the huge limo. It fit all of us easily. We took off and I explained what was going on to Jin and the other three. Kuwabara and Yusuke explored every inch of the limo. They looked like kids at a play ground.

"Hey Hiei...." Yusuke said sitting down finally.

"Yes?"

"How many times have you and Kagome done 'it'?"

In a second he was lying on the floor nursing a giant bump on his head. A vein in my forehead was about to pop.

"What makes think I've slept with her?" I asked coldly.

"Well you've know each other for five hundred years, and you gave her a hug."

"That was a friendly nice-to-see-you hug not a lover's hug."

"Well she is hot."

Most of the people in the limo nodded in agreement.

"Mh."

"I bet by the end of the month you two will have slept together."

He got a kick in the side from me.

"I wonder if she's still a virgin." Yusuke said.

"She is." Koenma said.

Every one looked at him.

"How do you know?"

"The owner of Drywell Co. is known for her beauty and purity. The guys flock after her for those reasons."

"Whoa… Five hundred and nineteen and still a virgin." Yusuke whistled.

Then he frowned slightly.

"Hey Hiei. Are you still a virgin?"

Everyone looked at me. I blinked at the question.

"No."

"At least he's slightly normal." Yusuke sighed.

"And what does that have to do with sex?" I sighed.

"Everything. Now about Kagome…"

"Can we not talk about sex?" I asked blandly.

"Whatever, you just embarrassed."

"Why would I be embarrassed?"

"Cause you probably haven't attracted a woman to sleep with you in a while."

"Who says no woman has tried to sleep with me recently?"

"What? Someone tried and you didn't take the chance in an instant! God and I thought Kuwabara was an idiot."

"Hey!"

"Maybe Hiei hasn't slept with anyone recently because he's trying to be faithful to Kagome." Jin said.

"Yeah right." Hiei snorted. "Kagome and I are just friends."

"Well why don't you sleep with her then?"

"Because we're friends."

"It wouldn't ruin your friendship, just make it more intimate."

I sighed and rolled my eyes. These people were idiots. Kurama and Toya were the only one not acting like an idiot.

"Listen. I am not going to sleep with Kagome."

"I bet you will."

I rolled my eyes at Yusuke.

"You have to at least admit she's hot."

"Okay, I admit my friend Kagome is hot. Happy?"

"Not really, at least not until you sleep with her."

I sighed and leaned back into the seat.

"Why don't you just sleep with her? Then you both will be cured of your virginity, it will be over and done with, and we won't bug you."

I just ignored them and closed my eyes, falling into though. 'I do admit she is really hot. Her eyes are stunning, her hair is silky, her breasts are...' I shook the thoughts off. After about fifteen minutes we stopped. The driver parked and opened the door for us. We stepped out and blinked. The others mouths fell open. We were in front of a giant house. It was huge. The whole place seemed to be surrounded by a rock wall.

I looked back down the drive way and saw two large iron worked gates. There was a fountain and the whole yard was filled with plants and paths. The house itself was three stories and looked like a mansion. The driver told us it had over fifty rooms, and some rooms were the size of a school gym. We walked into the house. A servant took our coats and I noticed she was demon. I noticed other demon and human presences through the house. The driver Kei got back in the limo and went to park in a garage. The servant who took our coats smiled at us.

"You have no need to wear illusions here, demons, and humans are both welcome here."

We nodded. Then we followed her to a living room. Everyone flopped down on over cushioned chairs and couches. We looked around. The servant told us to wait here so we sat and waited for Kagome. After five minutes we heard the door open. Kagome came in a moment later. She grinned at Yusuke.

"Brought someone for you."

He blinked. Suddenly his beast popped out of Kagome's shirt.

'Peep.'

Yusuke glared at it while the others grinned.

"Stupid beast. How did you get to ride in Kagome's shirt? Lucky thing."

'Peep.'

The thing flew out and landed on Yusuke's head. He growled. Kagome turned to Jin and the other three.

"I'm sorry I didn't catch your names."

"Oh, I'm Rinko.' The kid said.

"I'm Chu." The one with the Mohawk said.

"And I'm Toya."

"Nice to meet you. Now Sesshomaru will be here in less the half an hour.

The four blinked.

"THE Lord Sesshomaru is coming here?" Jin asked.

"Know him?"

"Heard about him."

"What did you guys come to see us for?" Yusuke asked.

"We'll talk when Sesshomaru gets here, he'll want to know too." Jin said.

Everyone shrugged and Kagome sat beside me. Yusuke grinned slyly at me and I shot him a glare. We talked for a while when suddenly we heard arguing. Everyone turned to the door. Two women came in. One was a half demon, and the other was a full demon. Beside them were a half demon male, a half demon female, and a full demon male. They all sighed and sat down on the chairs. Two seconds later a half demon and full demon walked in. The half demon was yelling, and the demon looked calm as he ignored the half demon. A fox demon came hurrying in and grabbed the half demon stopping him from attacking the other demon. Suddenly Kagome stood.

"Inuyasha would you shut up?"

The half demon suddenly realized we were all there. He blinked and sat down across from the full demon. Kagome sighed and stood pointing to the half demon.

"That's Inuyasha, that's his wife Kikyo, those are his children Midoriko and Miroku. They are all half demons."

The half demons nodded at their names.

"That is Shippo. He's a fox demon. And that's Sesshomaru, his son Inutaisho, and his wife Rin. Inuyasha is his half brother."

We all nodded to Sesshomaru. Kagome was about to say something but was interrupted.

"Stupid thing!" Yusuke yelled as the beast fell off his head.

This grabbed everyone's attention. He picked the thing up and threw it. The beast flapped his ears and flew to the woman Rin. It plopped into her lap and stayed there. She smiled and patted it on the head.

"Sorry." Yusuke said.

"Don't be. He's cute."

Yusuke stifled laughter at 'he's cute'. Suddenly Koenma stepped forwards. He bowed slightly to Sesshomaru and changed back into a baby with a new soother.

"Lord Sesshomaru. I was the one who wished to meet you. I'm Koenma Jr. I wished to know if you are an ally with the underworld, neutral, or our enemy."

Everyone waited as Sesshomaru looked at him. He glanced at Kagome who nodded.

"I'll be neutral."

Koenma sighed.

"Thanks."

He flopped down by Yusuke.

"Is that all you needed me for?" Sesshomaru asked Kagome.

"Jin says he has something to tell us all."

Jin perked up and stood up.

"There is going to be another tournament. Anybody is allowed to enter. The winner gets one wish. You may team up with others. No more than five on a team. You may kill. It will be held in two months on an island not far from here."

We all blinked. Yusuke jumped up and high fived Kuwabara who also jumped up.

"Yes! No more sitting around, finally a real fight!"

Everyone seemed interested.

"Interesting." Sesshomaru said.

We all agreed.

"Toya, Chu, Rinko, and I are on a team and have already signed up."

Kuwabara and Yusuke looked at each other and nodded. Then they looked at Kurama who also nodded. Finally all three looked at me. I sighed and nodded too.

"Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and I are on a team." Kurama said.

"Hey Shippo want to be on a team with me?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah!" The fox said.

"How about you Sesshomaru?"

"What makes you think I would be on a team with you, moron?"

"Hey don't call me a moron!"

"Even if it's true?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha scowled at her.

"But I will join you." Sesshomaru said. "Jaken will also."

"I'll join too father." Inutaisho said.

"Then Shippo, Sesshomaru, Inutaisho, Jaken, and I'll be on a team." Inuyasha said.

Kagome ran out of the room quickly. We blinked. Suddenly she appeared again and had some paper and a pen. She made lists of the teams. She handed one to Sesshomaru, Jin, and Kurama. Then she sat by me. Suddenly she perked up.

"Hey Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara. Can I be on your team?"

We blinked at her.

"I don't mind." Kurama said.

"Sure." Yusuke chorused.

"But girls shouldn't fight, it's against the code." Kuwabara said.

I just whacked him on the head shutting him up.

"Fine." I sighed.

She clapped her hands and Kurama added her to our list. Suddenly Jin looked at us.

"You should send those lists out soon so they reserve a place for you."

"Okay." Kagome said.

"So two months from now?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Yes." Jin said.

"Fine."

Suddenly Midoriko, Kikyo, Inuyasha, Shippo, Inutaisho, Sesshomaru, and Rin stood up.

"We'll be going then." Sesshomaru said.

"See you in two months." Inuyasha said as they headed out.

Kagome waved. When they were out she sunk into the couch.

"Hey you guys know any where we can stay till the tournament?" Chu asked.

We all shook our heads no.

"Unless you want to stay at my house, but it would be crowded and my mom would complain a lot." Yusuke said.

"You can stay here." Kagome said.

They all blinked.

"Or I can get you rooms at my hotel if you'd like that better."

"We can really stay here?" Jin asked startled.

"Sure why not. It's big enough. You can all stay if you want."

"Thanks." Rinko said energetically.

"I'll show you around." Kagome said jumping up.

We all stood and followed her. She showed us the kitchen, three living rooms, two dinning rooms, ball room, office, library, her room, the servant rooms, and spare rooms.

"It's huge." Yusuke said.

Kagome sighed.

"I wanted to get a smaller one, but I either could get an apartment, or this. And with this I have a place for other demons to stay too."

Then we followed her to the garage. It was huge and could easily fit twenty trucks. The only vehicles in it were the limo, her motorcycle, a brand new black car, and an army green jeep. They were all one side. In the empty space was large gymnastic set-up. There were skinny balance beams, poles, bars, and such. We blinked at the others set off to check them out.

"What is this for?" Rinko asked.

"Training. They are all used for training in balance and flexibility."

"Nice." Kurama said.

"I'll show you the basement now."

"There's more?!" Yusuke asked.

"You'll like this part."

She walked to the end of the garage and pulled a hidden handle on the floor. A trap door opened up revealing a set of stairs. We all followed behind Kagome. We walked down quite a distance before the floor evened out. We stepped into a large rectangular room. It was huge. The ceiling was two hundred feet up high. The whole room seemed to take up Kagome's whole piece of property but was wide open. The floor was dirt but the ceiling and roof where stone. We all gaped.

In one corner were tall bamboo poles; Hundreds of them. Some close together others far apart. They all came out of a deep pool of water. I guessed that you trained on them, like the Chinese. They barely took up a eighth of the room. In another corner were bars suspend from the ceiling all at different heights. They looked like a trapeze set up. Then there was another spot that was covered in rocks, boulders, and stalagmites. They looked like if you fell on any they'd spear you. There was one area that had a round elevated arena.

On either side of us were two stone rooms. There were two large rooms and in one it was all darkness. I guessed the room cut off all sense of direction, and sight. The second on had series of walls in it and I found out it was a maze. In the center of the room was a large pool. It looked deep. On the surface where floating mats. Kuwabara inspected them and then jumped onto one. It wiggled and threatened to tip. He shifted his weight a little and he was in the water spluttering and swimming to the edge.

"You need to have perfect balance to fight on these." Kagome said.

"It's amazing." Jin said.

"My own personal training grounds. I designed it myself."

We all looked over every set up and Kagome gave us some examples of what they were for and how to fight and train on them. The trapeze set up was to train with out standing. You had to swing from bar to bar while fighting. The poles were for balance and the rest of the stuff was obvious what they were used for. At the very end of the room was an exercise area. There were weights, treadmills, and other things. There was also off to the side a small door. It led into a large bathroom. It had a large hot tub that could fit ten people easily, a bench to rest on, and a set of showers in stalls. Everyone whistled at the lay out.

"I've owned the place for almost a hundred years. I bought it when I came here once."

We nodded.

"So do you all want to stay?"

"Even us?" Kuwabara and Yusuke asked.

"Yeah. If you stay here then you can train too. So staying?"

"Yes." Everyone chorused.

Kagome smiled and took us back up stairs. Then we all decided on rooms. Kurama and I were on either side of Kagome's room. Jin, Toya, Chu, and Rinko had room across the hall from Kagome and us. Yusuke and Kuwabara got rooms on either side of Kurama and me. When that was finished we all headed to the dinning room for dinner. At some time Kagome had ordered pizza. Everyone sat down and ate as they planned how to train for the two months. When everyone finally returned to their rooms it was late.

--

I woke up at about seven and sat up blinking. Kagome said we were going to be grabbing our stuff today and getting supplies. I sighed and pulled on my black cargo pants and t-shirt. I left my cloak and sword though. I doubted that I would need them. I headed out of my room and for the kitchen. I heard noise before I saw anyone. I walked into the kitchen to find Kagome cooking while humming. I blinked at her and sat down at the table. He smiled at me.

"Morning Hiei. Will you wake the others for me? Tell them if they want pancakes they have to be down here in two minutes."

I nodded and headed back to the rooms. I knocked on Yusuke's door first and heard a mumbled come in. Yusuke was curled in his bed with his beast on his back, in his boxers. I kicked him awake and told him pancakes were ready. He nodded groggily and I left. I also had to kick Kuwabara awake. He was less quiet about it and yelled after me. Then I knocked on Kurama's door. He opened it a minute later in some pyjamas. He nodded to me and I left him. I went to Jin's room yes. He opened the door looking awake. He smiled and headed down the hall. Toya also was up and he headed down stairs. Chu was also like Kuwabara and yelled at me for kicking him awake. The last person I got was Rinko. He woke and opened the door in pyjamas too. He seemed asleep in his feet. He said he would come but looked about to fall asleep again. I just headed back down stairs. Everyone was already there except Rinko. I told Kagome and she nodded. She set three large plates of pancakes, French toast, and eggs. Everyone dug in except Kagome who headed out of the room. I just yawned again and also grabbed some food.
