Hiei's journey in the past
Chapter 3
Normal POV
"WAIT!" Kagome yelled out as she ran out to get in between Miroku and the demon.
"Kagome what the hell are you doing?! Get out of the way!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome.
He had no idea what she was doing or why, but either way he was going to have to get here out of there, even if she didn't want him to.
"Did this demon attack the village?" Kagome asked.
She wasn't sure why she was doing this. She was sure they had a good to be fighting him but she just had to know why.
"Kagome what are you doing? That demon is dangerous. We need to get out the way and quick!" Shippo screamed franticly while he was still in her arms.
"Kagome, we sensed that demons demonic aura while we were still in the village. Its power was increasing while it was there. It was probably getting ready to attack the village. We need to stop it now while we have the chance!" Sango yelled to her.
"Lady Kagome please listen to Sango. What she says is true," Miroku said.
While this was going on Hiei was becoming aggravated.
'What the hell is that onna doing? Why is she trying to defend me? If it wasn't for Reikai I would have killed them all by now,' Hiei thought while he continued to listen to them and was ready for an attack just in case.
Just then the girl started to talk to Hiei.
"What's your name? Did you intend to attack the village like my friends have said?" Kagome asked trying to find out if he really was going to attack the village or just stumbled into the village and it was all a mistake.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"That's it. Kagome this can't go on any longer. Either you get out of the way or I'm going to have to get you out of there myself!" Inuyasha yelled over to Kagome.
She just ignored him.
"Well what's your name?" Kagome asked again.
'Why they hell is she trying to help me when I'm about to kill the hanyou?' Hiei thought.
"My name doesn't matter wench. Now get out of the way or I'll kill you too," Hiei said in a threaten voice.
"Ka..Kagome we should get out of here," Shippo said in a trembling voice.
"Well did you at least intend to attack the village?" Kagome asked, hoping to at least get an answer to that question.
Hiei said nothing for a while.
"I have a question for you wench," Hiei said while standing straight and getting out of his stance.
"Your friends don't seem to be surprised by your clothes," Hiei stated calmly.
Kagome looked at her clothes. She was wearing here usual school uniform.
"So that means that they have seen you many times in that outfit, but those kind of clothes shouldn't be here in this time," Hiei said starting to get serious.
Kagome looked surprised.
'Does he know about the Bone-Eaters Well and about how it leads to the future?' Kagome thought, while starting to get worried and started to back up a little.
'How does he know about the well?' Inuyasha thought.
"You don't think he's thinking about the Bone-Eaters Well do you Miroku?" Sango whispered to the monk.
"I don't know but it could be bad if he is and is able to go though it," Miroku whispered back.
"Tell me wench of did you get here," Hiei said while taking a step forward.
"How do you know I'm not from here?" Kagome asked.
"For one thing baka your clothes give it away," Hiei said.
He was starting to get impatient. Then Inuyasha jumped in front of Kagome.
"Hn gone to hide behind your pet, wench," Hiei said with a smirk.
"What did you say shrimp!" Inuyasha was infuriated by what the demon just said.
"Why do you want to know?" Kagomed asked while trying not to sound scared.
"If you tell me, you won't have to see me again and I'll let you all live," Hiei said.
"How is it that you know of the future, demon?" Miroku asked.
"That's doesn't matter. Now will you tell me or will I have to kill one of you to make you talk?" Hiei asked starting to get bored and annoyed.
"If you tell us why you want to go to the future then I'll show you where you can go back," Kagome said.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.
"Kagome what the hell are you doing!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
"Inuyasha it's not like he can pass though the well anyway. At least this way we might be able to figure something out about this demon," Kagome whispered back.
"I have one more question for you before I answer that. How far back in time do you go to get here?" Hiei asked.
'If I answer that baka onnas question I might be able to get back to my time and kill that bastard that sent me here,' Hiei thought.
"I travel back 500 years from the future," Kagome said.
Hiei stood there with a shocked look on his face.
'500… hundred.'
Hiei's face then turned to that of an angry one.
"I'm going to kill that bastard," Hiei said in a low voice so that none of the humans could here him.
Inuyasha's dog-ears twitched. He heard the demon say something but couldn't really understand what it was because it was to low. Kagome then spoke again.
"So why do you want to go to the future?" she asked again.
"I don't belong here," Hiei replied.
"What do you mean you don't belong here?" Kagome asked, a little confused.
"I mean exactly what I said wench. I don't belong here," Hiei said.
"Then how did you get here if your not supposed to be here?" Sango asked.
She didn't trust what this demon was saying, but she also wanted to know what was going on.
"It's none of your business. Now are you going to show me how to get back or am I going to have to force you?" Hiei asked with a bored tone in his voice but on the inside he was starting to get impatient.
"Alright, but only if you tell us your name," Kagome said.
'This onna is starting to piss me off,' Hiei thought.
After a moment of reluctance Hiei answered.
"Hiei."
"Your name fits you well considering your speed," Miroku said.
"Well now since that is taken care of we should introduce ourselves," Kagome said.
"I'm Kagome. This is Shippo," She held him up when she said his name.
"That's Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha," Kagome finished.
She had pointed to each person while she said each name. No one made any kind of greeting. Both Hiei and the Inu gang, except Kagome to an extent, didn't trust the other. Kagome was hoping that it was just all a misunderstanding.
Hiei's POV
The onna finally started to lead the way to where I could finally get back to the future. I refuse to travel near a group that I don't trust. Especially when they don't trust me as well. That onna is a baka for trusting me so easily.
I'm traveling in the trees at a good distance from them but not too far as to lose site of them. They are whispering among themselves, but whatever it is doesn't matter. If they plan to attack me then I'll just have to kill them all, except for that Kagome girl. That way I can either make her show me the way or read her mind.
Normal POV
"Kagome are you sure about this? We know that he's dangerous and when this doesn't work he might attack us. You should have let Miroku use his Wind Tunnel," Sango said to her while trying to keep her voice low but load enough for the others to hear.
"Yes Lady Kagome, why did you stop me?" Miroku asked.
"I'm not really sure why I did it. I guess I might have thought that Inuyasha attacked him while thinking that he was looking for jewel shards," Kagome said.
She had a shy smile on her face when said that.
"I don't go around thinking that!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome.
"Yeah right Inuyasha. That probably is the only thing you think about," Shippo said while trying to hold back his laughter.
"Shut up Shippo!" Inuyasha was now yelling at him.
"Inuyasha don't yell at him. He's only a kid," Kagome said to Inuyasha. They then got into an argument.
Sango's POV
'I don't like this. That demon is going to attack us once he finds out he can't go through the well. I guess Miroku will just have to be ready when the time comes,' these were the thoughts that were going through my head, as we were getting closer to the well.
'I just hope Kagome knows what she's doing,' was my last thought when we reached the clearing where the well is.
Hiei's POV
We have now reached a clearing. I'm starting to wonder if that onna was just leading me away for some reason.
'All that's here is a well. Is this really what she uses to travel back and forth between time?' I wondered.
I stayed in the trees and waited to see if they would stop at the well or not. They did. The dog Inuyasha and the onna Kagome stopped arguing over whatever it was that they were. It looks like she's asking him something. He points over towards me.
'Hn. I guess they're waiting for me to come out.'
I then jumped out of the trees and started to walk towards them. They all kept a close eye on my movements. When I reached them I stood on the opposite side of the well from them. Then the one called Kagome spoke.
"This is what I use to travel from our time to this time. It's called the Bone-Eaters Well. People used to throw demon bones into it and they would disappear over time. That's why it's called the Bone-Eaters Well," she explained.
"How do I know it works," I said eyeing her with suspicious eyes.
"I could show you. But just to let you know ahead of time, it might not work for you," she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It seems to only work for me and Inuyasha," she said.
'Figures.'
I was about to say something but she continued.
"But if it doesn't work I think I might know of a another way for you to get back to the future."
When Kagome said that all the others looked at her with confused looks on their faces.
"What would that be?" I asked.
"You'll have to wait until we see if this works," she said.
"I will jump down into the well and wait for about a minute and if you don't show up then I'm going to assume it didn't work and come back. If it doesn't work just wait here with the others," she said as she dropped her bag on the ground and started to climb over the edge.
"Be back in a minute guys,"
Then she was gone in a glow of blue light.
'Hn. Guess I go now,' I thought.
I walked over to the well and looked over the rim. I placed my right foot on top and then brought my left up.
'This better work.'
I then jumped down into the well. Nothing happened. I looked up and saw the same sky. The vines on the sides of the well were the same. It didn't work.
'Damn it!'
I jumped back out of the well.
Sango's POV
That demon, Hiei, jumped back out of the well.
'Guess that means it didn't work,' I thought to myself.
As he landed he turned to look at us. He didn't look too happy that it didn't work.
'Probably just mad because he can't kill innocent people in the future.'
We waited for Kagome to return.
"So Miroku what do you think Kagome is thinking about?" I asked in a whisper so that Hiei wouldn't hear.
"I'm not quite sure but if I had to guess she might suggest that he joins us. I hope that's not it though," Miroku whispered back to me.
"There's no way that guy is going to join us. Especially when we can't even trust him because he wants to kill us," Inuyasha said, joining in.
"But he would really come in handy for fights. He is pretty strong right Inuyasha?" Shippo asked.
"Feh. He's not that strong," Inuyasha responded.
He then crossed his arms and turned away.
Kagome should be back any second now. I hope what Miroku said isn't true. Kagome, please don't be thinking that this demon could join us.
Normal POV
There was a glowing blue light coming from the well. A couple of seconds later Kagome came out.
"I guess it didn't work," Kagome said when she was standing next to her friends.
"What is the other way that you said you might know?" Hiei asked.
He had his back turned to them, but you didn't need to see his face to know that he was angry. His right hand was clenched into a fist and was shaking slightly under the strain to keep himself from attacking someone or something. Plus the tone in his voice was a dead give away.
"I guess I should ran this by the others first, but I wanna ask now. It's kind of a question for everyone," Kagome said.
"Kagome you better not say what I think your going to say," said Inuyasha.
He, like the others in their group, had a strong feeling that they already knew what she was going to say.
"Do you want to travel with us, Hiei?" She asked, completely ignoring Inuyasha.
"Kagome!" everyone, except Hiei, almost yelled in shock that she would actually ask him that.
"What are you thinking Kagome?"
"Are you crazy! We can't let him travel with us! What if he tries to kill us or steal the jewel shards!"
"Lady Kagome he can't be trusted that easily."
Shippo, Inuyasha, and Mirkou said in that order. Sango walked over to her friend. When she reached her she asked, "Are you alright Kagome? Why are you trusting this demon so much when we don't know him?"
"I'm not sure but if he's strong then we could really use his help since Naraku has most of the most of the jewel shards," Kagome said.
Hiei's POV
That onna actually asked if I wanted to travel with them. Why would I? Her friends seem to be shocked by her question. The one in the black outfit with red armor plates and the giant boomerang weapon walked over to the other girl. She asked her why she trusts me so much when they don't know me. I'd like to know that myself. It's amazing that she's not dead yet.
Kagome just mentioned someone called Naraku and jewel shards. I don't care about who this Naraku is, but what was this about jewel shards. How can shards of a jewel be important? They must be special in some way. So I asked the onna.
"Why do you want me to travel with you and what's so special about these jewel shards?"
"It's none of your business," the hanyou said.
It seems like he would prefer that I didn't know. Hn. Now I want to know.
"Well I don't know if I should say what they are. How trustable are you?" Kagome asked me.
"Hn it depends if I will travel with you. What happens if I do decide to travel with your group?" I asked.
I don't really want to travel with these people but if it means a quicker way back to my time then I might take it.
"If you do come with us you have to help us search for the shards and not steal them from us or fight us. But if you do come with us you will have a better chance to find another way back to the future. We have met a lot of people and are always moving around, so sooner or later we're bound to find something that could help you," Kagome said.
"So can you be trusted?" she asked again.
My chances are better if I go with these people. If they bother me too much during the journey then I'll just leave.
"You can trust me. Once I form a alliance I don't brake it unless there is good reason, so if you don't make any attempts to attack me then you have nothing to worry about," I said.
"Ok. Well is everyone at least ok with this?" she asked as she looked at the rest of her group.
They all looked at each other. After a few more seconds they said yes to her. Though the dog was the most reluctant. He must be the reason she's still alive.
"So are you going to tell me or not onna?" I asked, getting tired of waiting.
"It's starting to get dark. Maybe we should head back to the village first. Once we get there we will explain what the shards are," Kagome said.
"Fine."
