Kagome laid down in the backseat bored. She figured they would be questioning her but so far they were being silent. Derek had glanced at her in the rearview mirror a few times and Peter had glanced at her a few times but they had not asked any questions.

Derek and Peter shared glances with each other as Kagome fidgeted in the back seat. They could tell that her nervousness was growing as both of them continued to stay silent. This was exactly what they wanted.

Peter glanced out the window, catching a glimpse of Kagome in the rearview mirror. He found himself smirking at the frustrated look on her face as she stretched out across the back seat. Her arms were crossed over her chest and a small pout was on her face as her eyebrows were pinched in frustration. She looked small, as she only came up to his chest, but she was built and moved like a fighter.

Her powers were what fascinated him the most. He had never felt anything like that before. He had felt magic and power before, but hers was different. It left behind a warm, tingling feeling. It left him energized, almost like the shot of epinephrine did when he was fighting the Alpha pact. It made him wonder what else she was capable of.

He also wondered what she was exactly. Her instincts mirrored that of a wolf's almost perfectly. She had responded to his dominance and submitted. She also knew the significance of baring her neck to him and relaxing in his hold. She had even stared him down about who drove the bike but she had relented. It would be interesting to see what types of instincts she had as he got to know her.

He grinned as his gaze slide down her body, while looking in the mirror, as he contemplated getting to know her and in the many different ways he could get to know her. He would not be adverse to bedding her or even pursuing a relationship with her. His instincts and his own inner wolf, said she was powerful and would be useful to them. He doubted Derek would show interest in her. He was still upset over the whole Jennifer thing and had Scott and his pack to deal with. He, on the other hand, had plenty of free time.

She had already showed signs of being attracted to him, so he would use that to build on and bring her to his side. He was also curious to see how she interacted with Scott and his pack, once they arrived back home. A bit of him was also curious to know if Deaton knew anything about her or what she was. It wouldn't be hard to persuade Derek into asking or arranging a meeting.

Kagome was starting to get irritated with the silence. Even the radio was off. She decided to sit up after about an hour of silence and looked around to see where they were. She was excited as she noticed they were fixing to pass through a big town. She was starving, as it had been a while since she ate. She also knew it had to have been a while since they had eaten as well.

"Hey," her voice came out excitedly, startling the two men in the car with her, "can we stop to get something to eat soon." She looked at both of them as they turned to look at her. Well, Peter turned to look at her but Derek looked up in the rearview mirror.

One of Derek's eyebrows rose in question as he spoke to Kagome. "And you can't wait for a few more hours to get something?"

Kagome looked at him in shock, as if she couldn't really believe he was asking her to wait to eat. "It has been hours since I've ate and expanding the kind of energy I did requires me to recharge myself. I'm starving," she said

She then turned her attention to Peter, even scooting to where she was partially behind his seat. She gave him a big pout as she begged, "Please, Peter." She even leaned forward and rubbed her head along his shoulder. It might not be a werewolf behavior but he would most likely understand the gesture.

Peter glanced down at Kagome in amusement. He could tell exactly what she was doing. He glanced at Derek to see he had rolled his eyes about the woman's behavior and was already looking back to the road. He decided to add his own comment, "Well, it has been a while since we've had anything decent." He then brought his hand up to run it through Kagome's hair as her head was still leaned over the seat and on his shoulder.

A sigh sounded beside them. "Fine, we can stop and eat," Derek said. It was kind of weird seeing a female being so affectionate with his uncle, though by both of their scents it was easy to tell they were attracted to each other.

"Yes," Kagome said while grinning. She continued to nuzzle Peter's shoulder happily as he ran his hand through her hair. After a second of this, she then moved back to her seat and leaned against the door. The window was cool on her cheek as she pressed against the glass. She decided to ask the question on her mind.

"So, which one of you are going to be asking the questions?" she asked.

"And what makes you so sure that we have any questions to ask you?" Derek asked as he was turning onto an exit ramp.

"Well," Kagome started to say, while looking at both of them, "I'm sure you want to know more about my powers and what I am. I mean, I am actually quite curious about werewolves. I only know some basics that Braeden filled me in on." She was curious about them so she figured they were about her as well.

"And if we just asked, you would tell us anything we want to know?" Peter asked as he turned in his seat to get a good look at her.

Kagome gave him a sly grin as she twisted in her seat so she could look straight at him. "Well, I'm willing to tell you some things about me. Some things I would have to simply show you and I doubt I can do that until we get to Beacon Hills," she explained.

One of Peter's eyebrows rose as he gained a sly grin on his face. "All right then. Enlighten us at to what you are exactly," he wanted to know what she was but he also wanted to see if she would be honest.

"As far as we know, I am a miko. I believe the translation for that is priestess. My powers are said to be based on purity and purification. And in the beginning, this was true but they have changed somehow," she left off there. This was the part where if they asked what she could do, then she would just have to demonstrate.

"So you believe you are a priestess but aren't 100% sure?" Peter asked for clarification. Now he truly was interested in seeing her powers. He had heard many myths and had a lot of information at his disposal so maybe he could do some research and find out.

"True. When I first developed powers, they were of a priestess but as the years have progressed, they seem to have adapted or changed. Original priestess powers were used to purify demons and people and other supernatural creatures. Priestess powers were never meant to heal those we were supposed to kill," she said.

Peter held up his hand, showing his healed hand to her. He then leaned on his seat to where he was closer to her, his head titled to the side where he was only looking at her from the corner of his eyes before he added, "And yet you healed me perfectly. You healed Derek as well."

Kagome nibbled on her lip as she looked down at her lap. This part of the explanation was always hard for her. She could only tell a partial truth. No one ever believed her when she told them about youkai and time traveling. "Most priestess's are born to kill anything that is a threat to humans but I was raised differently. It wasn't until my 15 birthday that I discovered my powers for the first time. This meant that I didn't have that hatred taught to me at a young age. I ended up making friends who were not human. They would get hurt frequently and if I used my powers around them, then it affected them. I didn't want that so I began practicing controlling my powers to where they wouldn't hurt my friends. I can now use my powers to heal, just like I did earlier with the both of you. It would almost be easier to show you if you could read my mind but I can try to explain my best," she finished her explanation but then Peter had gained a look.

Peter and Derek both shared a look at that. While Derek did not have the ability yet, Peter did. He could look inside of her head and see her memories. This also got him to thinking. If she would allow it, then he'd have a huge advantage.

"What?" Kagome questioned as she saw the two keep giving each other stares.

Surprisingly it was Derek who spoke, "There is a way to enter one's mind and to see a memory."

"Really?" Kagome asked. She was fascinated with that idea while also scared by it. While she wanted so badly to share those memories with someone who would believe her, she also didn't want them to see them and then shun her.

"It's a talent that only a few werewolves know," Peter said. He wanted her to ask who would do it.

"Okay, then who can do it. I know Braeden said something about a true alpha in Beacon Hills. Is he the one?" she asked. If it was, she wasn't sure about it. She'd have to wait and meet him before giving him permission to go surfing in her brain.

"I believe Scott may have the ability to do it, but he has never done it before. I, on the other hand, am very skilled with this technique," he said. He was watching her very closely now as she absorbed that information. He was pleased with what he saw. Her body had lost its tension and she was staring at him curiously with no fear.

Kagome leaned towards Peter as she asked, "So how do you do it?"

Peter grinned as he leaned in closer to Kagome, as much as the seat would allow. He was so close to her now that they could feel each other's breath as they spoke. They were a hair's breath away from being able to kiss. He decided to see how she responded to his teasing, "That my dear, you will find out when we get back to Beacon Hills. It's hardly something I can do right here." He then leaned back into his seat and turned to face forward.

Kagome's eyebrow rose in amusement as she leaned back into her seat. Now she was even more curious on how he would see her memories. "Well, then I look forward to it," she purred out, staring straight at Peter who gave her a quick side glance complete with a sexy smirk.

She then looked around to see where they were and was surprised to see they were pulling up at a mall. It was then that she realized that she had absolutely nothing with her. She had her weapons and the outfit she was wearing and a small bag with one outfit in it.

She decided to ask though, to see if they needed anything or if he really was thinking about her, "So why the mall?"

Derek pulled into the parking spot and parked his car. He then turned back to answer her. "You are going to need more clothes, even if you had some shipped with your bike, I doubt you'd want to wear that one outfit until they come in," he said and pointed to her outfit, or more specifically the dirty parts.

Kagome looked down at herself and seemed to notice what she was wearing. She also still had the weapons holsters still attached to her. "Well, I do have one change of outfit," she said holding up her small bag.

"Good. Change and then we can go in," Derek said stepping out of the car. He surprised Kagome by coming to stand by her window and turning to face the parking lot. He then leaned against her window so it would block anyone from looking inside.

Kagome gave a small thank you as she opened up her bag. She knew he would hear it. She then proceeded to pull out a pair of black flats from the bag and a white lace dress that had a dark blue sash around the waist. She set those to the side as she began taking holsters off and her other weapons. When her hand was on the bottom of her shirt, ready to pull it off, a thought hit her, "Why are you still in the car?" she asked as she looked up at Peter.

Peter grinned as he sat staring at Kagome. "Does me being in here bother you?" he asked as he leaned forward while grinning.

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him. If he wanted to play this game, then he chose the wrong girl. She was not intimidated in the least. He was purposely teasing her, she could tell but this time she was not going to give him the satisfaction. She then reached down and pulled her shirt and tossed it to Peter saying, "It'll take more than that to bother me."

Peter grinned at her boldness as he watched her finish changing. The only sad part was that she had put on the dress before taking off her pants. All he got was a teasing glimpse of her underwear, which was on purpose judging by the smirk thrown his way.

Kagome grinned in amusement as she leaned down to put on the flats. To add even more flare, she made sure to lean in such a way as to make sure Peter got a good glimpse of her cleavage. As she leaned up, she glanced at him and had to laugh. He was staring at her in lust and amusement.

Derek shifting against the door is what finally caught both their attention. To Kagome's embarrassment, she realized she had already started leaning towards Peter. She could tell by Derek's aura that he was annoyed so she grinned at Peter before putting her hand on the door. The click of the door handle was enough to let Derek know Kagome was ready to get out so he moved away from the door.

Kagome slid out of the door and found herself shocked when her elbow was linked to another elbow. She glanced up with wide eyes to see Peter wrapping his arm around hers. "You're fast," she said falling in step next to him. Derek was already walking several paces ahead of them.

Kagome found she was surprised as she started shopping. She figured that Derek and Peter would just go find something else to do while she went and picked out a bunch of clothes. Instead, they were staying with her. 'Peter was even so kind to help me pick out clothes,' Kagome though sarcastically. His choices were great and fashionable but bordered on tight pants, short dresses and tight shirts that showed off her cleavage.

She glanced down at the pile in her hand and couldn't help but give an amused huff. 'They will look good on me though,' she thought defensively. It wouldn't hurt to try them on at least and she knew Peter probably wanted to see her as she tried them out. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was looking at another shirt for her. Another glance around, showed that Derek was being his creepy self as he kinda just stood there looking grumpy. It was a good enough look to get her left alone, so she found herself a bit grateful.

She looked back down at a skirt that would go well with the shirt Peter had picked out. "Hey Peter, bring that shirt to the changing rooms. I found a skirt to match it and need someone to tell me what they think about the outfits," she basically whispered it and then started walking to the changing rooms. She knew he'd hear and wouldn't pass up the chance to try and watch her change again.

Peter looked up at Kagome after hearing her and decided to follow her. He was interested in if he was about to get a free show again. He liked that she wasn't afraid of a little challenge. It also didn't hurt that she had a killer body and long legs that he could finally make out in the dress. He found his eyes following the sway of her hips as they approached the changing rooms. 'Definitely need to get to know her physically,' he thought. If she kept up with her games, then she would find herself in his bed sooner rather than later.

Kagome found herself grinning as she closed the curtain to try on her last outfit. She was having a blast. Peter's comments were getting more and more suggestive with each outfit. They had gotten so suggestive that Derek had rolled his eyes and walked away while suggesting Peter should just join her in the changing room.

She looked at her last outfit in the mirror and laughed out loud. Peter heard her from outside the room and grinned to himself. It seems she had found the shirt he slipped in for laughs.

"Really, Peter!" Kagome exclaimed as she opened the changing room curtain.

Peter grinned as his eyes roamed her form. "Do you not like it?" he asked.

Kagome just shook her head at him as she moved to stand in front on the mirrors that framed a whole corner. She checked out the full outfit and then met Peter's eyes in the mirror as he came to stand behind her. The shirt she found hilarious, especially considering he had picked it out. It had a full moon on the front with a silhouette of a werewolf with claws raised up howling. The print above the picture said 'Don't mind me' while the print below the picture said '…it's just that time of the month.' The shorts had a picture of a wolf on the left leg and on the back it said 'Bite me.'

"I'm just shocked that you have a sense of humor is all," she stated as she turned around and looked up at him.

"Really," Peter said as he walked forward until he was almost touching her. He brought his hands up until they hooked into the belt loops of the shorts and pulled her into his form. He then leaned down until he was almost kissing her. "I've always thought I had a great sense of humor," he whispered against her lips.

Kagome found herself excited as Peter pulled her to him. Her hands automatically came up to rest on his hips. Her breath hitched as he leaned down to where his lips were just shy of touching hers. She almost missed what he whispered as he suddenly pulled back from her. She seemed frozen as Peter turned and started walking away. 'What the hell just happened,' she thought as her eyes followed Peter.

"Meet us outside the store when you're done," Peter said as he waved a hand without looking back. It kept Kagome from seeing the grin on his face. He could smell her frustration but her arousal was still stronger.

Kagome's mind finally caught up and she found herself glaring at Peter's back as her body seemed to unfreeze. "Jerk," she muttered before turning back to change into her clothes. She'd get him back for that little trick later. A malicious grin spread across her face as she thought of what she could do as revenge.

'Looks like my trip to Beacon Hills will be more fun that I thought it would be,' she thought as she paid for her clothes.
