A Change Will Happen

Chapter Fourteen

What Happens Afterwards?

Last time:

Kagome shook her head. "Mine!" said Kage as he moved his head to Kagome's.

"When did I become yours?" Kagome asked him.

"Yeah, I thought she was Hiei's?" Yusuke said as he laughed. Kuwabara joined in with him.

"She is," Kage said as Kagome's jaw dropped. They stopped laughing.

"What?" said Hiei and Kagome. They looked at each other and then back to Kage. "How?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome turn to your right," Kage told her as she listened and turned only for her eyes to widen. Hiei was to her right.

"When, how, what… huh?" she said as she touched Hiei's neck as Hiei moved away from her. Her jaw dropped. On Hiei's neck was a six pointed star with all her elements on each point. She turned back to Kage with confusion on her face. "Kage… that's a mark."

"Yes, I know. You marked him," he said happily.

"Huh… how?" Her voice squeaked.

"When you kissed him a couple of minutes ago," he told her. "Isn't it great?"

Kagome made a sound that sounded like a bird and then fainted as Yusuke caught her. Hiei slowly brought his hand up and felt what Kage was talking about. Her power was seeped into the mark but it didn't hurt him.

This time:

They brought her to a hotel where they decided to rest for the night. In the morning though was when hell broke loose. Yusuke and Kuwabara were yelling at each other because Yusuke stole his food as Kurama tried to read his book. Hiei was sitting near the window and tuned them out. Kagome had been on the bed as she opened her eyes slowly.

The light hit her as she closed them again. She raised her hand, aimed it at Yusuke and Kuwabara, and quickly moved it to the side. "Silence," she said as quiet took over the room. She rolled on her side and went back to sleep.

Kurama and Hiei looked at Kagome and then to the others, who were trying to open their mouths and failing. "Why didn't she just do that in the first place?" asked Hiei as he turned back to stare out the window.

Yusuke glared at Kagome with anger. This was not how he wanted to spend his morning and he was still hungry! Kuwabara wasn't happy because Yusuke ate his food and that Kagome literally shut him up.

Yusuke sat on the other bed and continued to glare at Kagome as she slept. Kuwabara followed Yusuke to the bed and sat down too. Yusuke was so angry that he made his hand in the shape of a gun as Kuwabara's eyes widened. He tried to stop him but it didn't work.

Hiei looked over just as Yusuke shot the Spirit Gun. There was little space between Kagome and Yusuke. Yusuke thought that he had the advantage only to see Kagome's hand come up and grabbed a hold of his Spirit Gun. Her hand lit up as darkness covered over the energy and it suddenly exploded inside the darkness.

Kagome's hand dropped and fell off the bed but she was still asleep. Yusuke yelled even though his mouth was shut. Yusuke tried to punch Kagome, only for her hand to come up again and grab his hand. She rolled him over and onto the side of her bed. She crawled on top of him as her eyes opened. She placed her hand over his face as electricity appeared and Yusuke started moving to get away. "You going to stop being an ass?" she asked as he nodded. She got off of him.

Yusuke sighed as he looked like he had just seen a ghost. "Kagome, that was amazing," said Kurama as he smiled to her. She looked at him and nodded as she yawned and fell over. She went back to sleep.

"Wow… she sleeps more than you, Hiei," Kurama said with a light laugh as Hiei glared at him.

Hiei looked at Kagome as he felt the mark she placed on him yesterday. He knew that he liked her but he didn't know if he was ready to be marked. It was only a claiming mark at the moment. He hadn't seen her in three years and she suddenly placed this on him… They were never really close but he did joke around with her and had the need to protect her. He really needed to talk to her alone but he had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to for a long time. He sighed as he looked back out the window. It was starting to rain.

It took Kagome two more hours to wake up. When she did, she had Yusuke glaring at her along with Kuwabara. She smirked when she noticed that they still were unable to say anything. She moved her hand as she smiled to them. "Speak," she said as the seal was broken. Yusuke jumped her, pinning her to the bed as Hiei growled at him.

Yusuke looked at Hiei, who was looking like he was ready to kill him and then back to Kagome. "You asshole, what the hell?! I couldn't do anything! I like talking, thank you very much," he said as she laughed. "What the hell is so damn funny?"

"You are!" she said as tears formed at the corner of her eyes. She suddenly stopped laughing and turned her head to the side as she saw a marble rolling down the bed. She caught it as she sat up—Yusuke falling to the side. She looked at it with curiosity. "It's the same," she whispered as she pulled out her necklace. "What is this?"

"It's a tear gem," Hiei said as he lifted himself off the chair and walked over to her. He placed his hand in front of her as she placed the gem into his hand. He looked at it closely as Kagome watched him. "Forbiddens—when they cry—shed these tear gems."

"But I've cried before and this never happened," she said as he nodded.

"That's because you didn't know your power. This happens when you know your power to its full limit," he explained as she tilted her head.

She looked down at her necklace and lifted it to eye level. "This is the same as that, right?" she asked as she lifted off her neck and into Hiei's hand. He looked down as his eyes widened. The necklace had a blue gem with a silver dragon claw covering it and keeping it safe.

"Where did you find this?" he asked in a serious tone.

"At the bottom of a really tall cliff, why?" she asked as he back up only to fall onto the other bed as Kuwabara bounced when he sat.

Hiei looked at the gem as he looked back at her. "This was my mother's… I lost it during a battle… I've been searching for it for years," he told her as her eyes widened. She covered her mouth with her hand.

Yusuke looked interested as he looked back and forth between Kagome and Hiei. Kagome got up and grabbed the necklace. She unhook the chain and placed it around Hiei's neck. She leaned back up and smiled. "I'm happy that I kept it," she said.

"Kagome, what were you doing at the bottom of that cliff?" he asked as Kagome thought for a moment. She scratched her head.

"That was the same day that you told me to leave," she said as he bent his head. "I was walking around, trying to remember the way that Sesshomaru taught me to find the Feudal Era but I got lost and walked into some canyon. I walked around that place for hours until I found a stream. I thought that the stream would lead me somewhere…

"It didn't lead me anywhere… I sat on a rock and looked down on the ground when I saw the gem. It was out of its case. I picked it up as I saw the other half; the necklace. I tried to fix it myself but soon realized that I couldn't.

"So, now I was determined. I wanted to find someone that could help me fix it. To my luck, a blacksmith was walking around there. I asked him if he could help me fix it. He told me that if he was going to fix it that I would have to pay but I didn't have anything on me at that time." She sighed as she rolled her eyes. "He then said that maybe if I polish some of his weapons that that would be a good trade.

"So, I listened and he fixed it for me. I've been wearing it since then," she explained as she smiled. "If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten this." She grabbed something from her pocket and showed them the black tear gems.

"Wow… aren't those Hiei's?" asked Yusuke as Kagome nodded. "How did you get these?"

"When you guys left to go talk to Koenma, I went back and picked them up," she said as grinned. "They were so pretty that I made a necklace; one for me and one for my dragon."

"Kagome, you are so special…" Yusuke said as he shook his head. She glance at him as she stood up and stretched. Yusuke then got serious. "Did you ever contact Koenma?"

Kagome stopped in mid stretch and as she stood back up, she sighed. "No, I didn't."

"How come?" asked Kurama as he put down his book.

"Because I had Shippo to look after. When he came to me, I knew that going back to the spirit world would be a bad idea. They were only stories that I could tell him when he was falling asleep," she said as she looked sad. She looked up at them. "I thought that living in the Feudal Era would make me happy. The longer I stayed, the unhappier I got. I was wrong. I missed you guys."

Yusuke and Kuwabara grinned as they switched sides and sat next to Kagome. She hugged each of them. She stood up and hugged Kurama, who hugged her back. Kagome smiled as she hugged Hiei, who stiffened at the touch. "But I missed you the most," she said as he blushed. "What you said to me back then was so true that it startled me. Nothing was stopping me from going but you changed that." She let him go. "I say we do something."

"I say we go to Koenma," said Yusuke.

"I say go fuck yourself," Kagome said with a grin.

"I say that'd be kinda hard," he said back.

"Maybe for a guy…" Kagome scratched her cheek as they stared at her.

Yusuke shook his head. "Oh geez, there are some things that I just don't need to know… Okay, Kagome, what do you want to do?"

She sat up and leaned her elbow on Hiei's shoulder. "Can we go to a strip club?"

"No!" Yusuke yelled out.

"Can't you guys be the strippers than?"

"Maybe Hiei can do that for you but I have Keiko. Kuwabara has Yukina and Kurama… hey! He can help too!"

"I'd rather not waste my talents on that," Kurama stated as Kagome sighed.

"But I'm so bored! I need something—oh!"

"Uh-oh… I suddenly got a bad feeling," Yusuke said with his hand on his stomach.

Kagome walked over to the window and opened it. A nice cold breeze hit her face as she smiled. She then whistled loudly, hurting everyone's ears but Kuwabara. "Woman, are you trying to deafen us?" growled out Hiei as he glared at her.

"No, but I have something to say… Hiei, you know how your dragon kills anything in its wake?"

"Yes, go on," he said.

"Well, my dragon loves me, hates all men, and wouldn't hurt a fly… although, she has made an exception for you four," Kagome explained as her dragon head came in from the window. "We're riding a dragon!" she said as she crawled out the window. She helped everyone get on and once they were all on, her dragon flew way up into the sky.

"Where are we going, Kagome?" asked Kurama as he watched the clouds.

"Home," she answered. "Glide," Kagome then said as her dragon nodded and started to glide.

"We're going to Koenma?" asked Yusuke as Kagome shook her head.

"You're taking us all to our houses?" Kuwabara questioned as Kagome shook her head again.

"You're taking us to your house?" guessed Hiei as Kagome looked at him. "What, I thought it was a guessing game…" He looked away from her.

"No, Hiei, you're right. That's where I'm taking you plus, that place is huge, has everything anyone could ever want, and a hot spring…" Kagome said as she smiled.

"Does it have an arcade?" asked Yusuke as Kagome nodded. Yusuke grinned hard.

"Does it have a garden?" asked Kurama.

"Kurama, you're welcome to my garden. You can do whatever you want with it," Kagome said as Kurama's eyes lit up. "And Kuwabara, there's an animal shelter there if you want to look." Kuwabara's jaw dropped.

"Let me guess, what you're about to say to Hiei is that there's a dojo that he can practice in?" Yusuke asked as Kagome shook her head yet again.

"Actually, I don't have a dojo," she said as Yusuke's jaw dropped. "I have a stadium."

"How rich are you?" asked Yusuke slowly.

"Well, why don't you just look down?" she said as she watched them look over the dragon and down to the ground.

There was an enormous gothic mansion below them. On the roof, there were two helicopters and a glider. Kagome's dragon turned and let them see the entire thing. A garden surrounded the mansion with all sorts of different flowers and trees.

There were multiple balconies on every other three windows. There was a waterslide on the left side that led from the highest window to the pool that was at the bottom. There was a skate board park on the right of the mansion. The dragon turned again and led them to the backyard.

In the back was the stadium Kagome told them about. It was twice the size of the one from the Dark Tournament. Behind the stadium was a lake and on that lake was a yacht. The dragon landed next to the barn, which was next to the lake. Everyone got off of her. "Thank you, girl," Kagome said as the dragon nodded and flew away. "So, what do you want to do first?"

"Well, besides what we like and what we want to do, what else do you have?" asked Yusuke after he got over the trance he was in.

Kagome thought for a moment. "Okay, there's horseback riding, a boat ride, swimming," she said as she grinned at Hiei, who looked away. "Skate boarding, fencing, target practice, karaoke, bowling, surfing, tennis, boxing… Do you need more options?"

"Ohh… damn… now the arcade sounds lame," said Yusuke as she laughed. "I actually would like target practice…"

"Still or moving targets?" she asked.

"Moving," he answered with a grin.

"On water, sand, grass, or ice?"

"All sounds tempting… hmm, what's a challenge for me?" he questioned himself.

"I prefer moving targets on ice with weights," she said as he looked at her crazy.

"How about I work with sand for now…?" She nodded.

Kagome snapped her fingers as two men showed up. "Gentlemen, please show Yusuke to the target range. Replace the ice with sand," she ordered as they nodded.

"Yes, milady," they bowed as they motioned for Yusuke to follow them. He listened and left.

She turned to Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara. "Are you all going to the same place or are you all separating from here? Kurama, you wanted gardening?"

"Actually, I think I might do tennis," he told her as she smiled at him. She nodded as she snapped her fingers again.

A man showed up with his head bowed. "How can I be of assistance, milady?" he asked her.

"Please show Kurama to the tennis courts," she said as the man nodded as Kagome turned back to Kurama. "Would you like a partner?"

"Sure."

Kagome looked back at the man. "Please have Ryuu join him," she added as Kurama left with the man.

"You sure have a lot of people…" said Kuwabara as Kagome grinned at him.

She ignored him but asked something different. "Would you like to go somewhere Kuwabara?"

"I'm gonna stick to the animal shelter thing," he said as Hiei scoffed. "Look here, shorty, just because you don't accept animals, doesn't mean to you have to be mean!"

"I'm not pathetic," Hiei said as Kuwabara glared and Kagome laughed. Kagome clapped her hands together as a young woman appeared.

"Mai, show Kuwabara to the animal shelter."

"Yes, milady," Mai said as she offered her hand. Kuwabara took it and they disappeared together.

"What would you like to do, Hiei?" Kagome asked as she looked at him. His eyes were grinning at her. "Stadium?"

"You read me like a book," he said as he glanced at her. Their eyes connected and they disappeared and reappeared in the middle of the stadium.

"I know you too well, Hiei. It's like I know that when you told me to leave that day that you regretted it and that after that, you weren't able to fight," she said as she walked over to her weapons station.

"You were watching," he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. He watched as she looked through swords and axes, bows and whips, lances and javelins. She went after the bow.

"Yes, from a distance. I was always with you even if you didn't notice," she said as she walked over to a man. "Tai." A man looked up from what he was doing. "When we get onto the platform, erect the barrier." He nodded as he watched them get onto the platform as he said a chant and a light barrier surrounded Kagome and Hiei.

"What are you doing?" Hiei asked as he felt the barrier. It wasn't strong but it was stable.

"Instead of us having the whole stadium to ourselves, I've decided to place this barrier up. It gives us less space," she explained as she held her bow up and pointed it to Hiei.

"How do you plan on shooting that without an arrow?"

"Hiei, have more faith in me." She pulled the string back as a fire arrow appeared out of thin air. She released it as Hiei easily dodge it. She grinned.

"What was that? You call that a move?" he said as he watched her grin wider as the arrow was suddenly in his stomach. He looked down at it with widened eyes as he looked back to Kagome, who was no longer anywhere in sight. She had become very good in the last three years that he couldn't keep up with her anymore.

He pulled out the arrow as a sword replaced it. Kagome attacked him from behind with him not knowing it until it happened. She placed her hand on his neck from behind as she let it traced the bone. She sliced him with her touch and she barely had touched him as he jumped away from her.

She glanced down at her hand with his blood and licked it. "Mm, as sweet as I remember," she said as she formed a ball of water in her left hand as she let some power slip and it was suddenly covered with lightning too. She charged at him as he barely dodged her attack. "Come on, Hiei, I know you're stronger than this. This feels like the last fight I had with you three years ago and this is sad."

He growled at her as his spirit energy lit up and push Kagome back a bit but just enough for her to back into the barrier, which she screamed from. Hiei speeded towards her as she closed her eyes. He narrowed his eyes as he sent his sword through her arm. "I'm not weak," he said as Kagome became covered in black fog. He heard his sword fall to the ground with a thunk. He glanced behind him just as Kagome formed herself.

"It's nice to know that you aren't weak, but it's sad that you didn't train at all. You were too focused on finding me," she said as she brought herself up. Her wounds were all healed as she looked at him with sorrow in her eyes. "I almost died multiple times while training but every time I came close to death, you appeared and told me how pathetic I was."

She grinned as she threw her bow at him. He looked at it and then back at her. "What are you doing?"

"I want you to get my energy down. I'm too powerful. I won't lay a finger on you for five minutes," she said as he narrowed his eyes again but nodded as he came at her with double the speed. He used his sword and sliced at her, cutting her everywhere. He was using everything but his dragon, knowing that Kage would try to stop this fight.

He used fast punches as Kagome closed her eyes. Her body was trying to force a barrier to protect her but she quickly made it go away. By now, she had a left broken wrist, a broken right shoulder, and a sprained ankle. She had hundreds of little deep cuts everywhere and it had only been a couple of seconds.

Yusuke had shown up about two minutes after Kagome declared her decision when he felt energy and he was horrified by the sight he was seeing. Hiei was beating Kagome up without her doing anything to defend herself. Hiei threw another punch to her face as Kagome fell to the ground.

Kurama had come just as Kagome fell. He slowly walked over to Yusuke when his legs got feeling back into them. "W-what's… going on?" he asked Yusuke as he turned to him, terrified.

"I don't know and it's not good," he told him as he looked back to Kagome.

"Milady, please stop this madness! He will kill you!" yelled Tai, who couldn't watch Kagome any longer. He ran towards the barrier as he saw Kagome's hand raise and aim towards him. He was pushed back by a gentle wind.

"Any… one who comes near me… and I'll have your head… on the ground," she said tiredly. She looked at Hiei, who grinned at her as his sword stabbed her in the stomach. She coughed up blood. She bent her head down as she grabbed a hold of Hiei's sword's blade. Kagome tightly grabbed the blade, making her hand bleed as Hiei tried to pull back. She looked up at him and grinned. "Thank… you."

She took away his sword in a flash and used it to stand up. "You shouldn't be able to stand," Hiei said as Kagome wobbled.

"You're right, I shouldn't be able to move," she said as she got into a fighting stance. "I have a broken wrist and shoulder and a sprained ankle and yet, I still have power to hurt you, probably not defeat you… but I can definitely hurt you," she explained as she moved towards him, slower than before.

"You can't possibly hurt me in your state," he told her as he moved out of the way but Kagome moved with him.

"Then, how do you explain the sword in your chest?" she asked with slight humor in her voice. Hiei glanced down and sure enough, there was his sword in his chest. Why didn't he feel anything?"

"How did you…?"

"I gave you the advantage of hurting me and lowering my energy but what you didn't see was that it was my advantage to be able to see how your movements worked, what you use, and how fast you use them," she explained to him.

He was now mad. "Dragon of the Darkness Flame," he said to her face as her eyes widened. Kage shot out and straight towards Kagome, taking the barrier down, and smashing her into the wall.

"Milady!" called out Tai as a barrier reacted to him and sent him flying away from her.

"The dragon wouldn't eat Kagome, right?" asked Yusuke as he watched from down below.

"I'm not sure that he ate her…" Kurama said as Yusuke nodded to him.

Kage didn't even see his enemy and instantly hurt them when he came out. He had made sure that his mouth wasn't open but his power was too much for the enemy. He looked down and saw someone he never thought he would see again and then glared at his master. He quickly looked back at Kagome, who was sitting upright and grinning. "You see, that's the Hiei I know! I officially declare this fight over. Hiei wins," she said as she leaned back against the rubble.

Hiei called back his dragon, no matter how much Kage wanted to see Kagome. He walked over to her and saw that she was laughing. "Now what do you find funny?" he asked her as she yanked him down with a broken wrist. She opened her mouth but Hiei covered it with his.

Kurama held back Yusuke, who was way too curious to know what was happening and pushed him towards the direction of the mansion. He decided that now was a good time to find Kuwabara…
