- Fried Circuits –

Kagome was lifted with little effort and the grip on her arm loosened slightly. He stared at her for a few moments and she watched as his eyes died a bit, as if he were gathering information, before he spoke again, in a very deep and spine-tingling voice. "Mine." He said before crushing her body against his and locking his lips with the squirming computer genius's.

Kouga was on the two in a millisecond and had the newborn by the throat in the next. "You will not touch her, scum!" He snarled, icy blue eyes bleeding red. His muscles bunched and grew as his battle-self took over.

Kagome stumbled as the LC released her and rubbed her neck with a grimace. "Project 54-257-9248-7, 6648-997-23849-1!" She breathed out at Kouga's frozen back before gasping as his arm was roughly torn off.

"MINE!" The other LC roared and threw his fist forward.

Kagome reacted without thinking. "Project 55-689-4487-2, 6648-997-23849-7."

He froze his red eyes wide as he processed the number. He gave a startled chirp before he slumped onto the ground, his systems set firmly in sleep mode.

Kurama stepped forward and hit a button on his wrist board.

Youko practically appeared next to him and looked at the two prone LC's. "What the fuck happened here?" He snapped. "I leave you alone for three hours and this is the kind of trouble you get into..." He sighed and picked up the 'sleeping' new project, set him on the operating table and stood in front of the screen saver-Kouga.

Kagome covered her heart with her gloved hand and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "By the gods!" She shook herself and took deep, calming breaths. "Alright. I'll work on project 55, you work on Kouga-kun, alright Shu-chan?"

Kurama shook his head. "We need to terminate him. He's dangerous."

The computer whiz gave her best friend a bland look. "Kouga-kun tried to kill you when he woke up and we didn't terminate him. Youko-kun tried to... uh..." She blushed to her roots as the memory of what the foxcom had tried to do to his master after he was fully functional played across her mind.

Kurama sighed before motioning for Youko to put the wolfcom onto the other operating table.

"Now, let's see what's going on inside of you, 55." She dug her fingers under the freshly made silicon skin. Or at least tried to, but scowled when the seam didn't appear. "Hm... guess I'll have to cut it." She murmured only to gasp when she heard the familiar whir of an LC coming back online. "I didn't give you permission to wake up!" She cried out when he sat up suddenly and turned his burning red eyes onto her again.

"You will not do that again, onna." He snapped and grabbed her shoulders again. "It was unpleasant."

Kagome struggled against his iron hold and gritted her teeth in anger. "My names Kagome." She hissed out at him and continued to fight against him.

Youko was beside Kagome in seconds. "It would do well if you would release the fearful human, 55."

"Hiei."

The raven blinked at him and opened her mouth, only to shut it again.

"Your name has yet to be given, 55." Youko tilted his head back with a snort.

"I will not answer to that, 49." He cracked his knuckles threateningly "I. Am. Hiei."

"How... How do you know Youko-chan's number? I haven't uploaded anything into you yet!" Kagome tried to push his hands off and succeeded in Hiei moving them down to her forearms.

"I downloaded it myself." Hiei said with a disinterested shrug. He arched a thin black brow at Kagome's incredulous look.

She stammered a few seconds before she gathered her wits about her and a huge grin split across her face. "Sh-Shu-chan!" She cried out and with agile movements, twisted from Hiei's surprised grip and raced over to the green-eyed human. "Did you hear that? He... he... HE'S WONDERFUL!" Kagome gave a loud squeal and hugged the flushing redhead. "I bet he even heals himself! Oh! I've done it; I've lived up to the Higurashi name, finally!"

The genius ran back to Hiei and grabbed his hand. "Do... do you mind if I do some tests?" She gave the LC a hopeful look and he blinked down at her.

A dark look passed over his face and he gave her a devilish grin. "Only if I get something in return." Youko did not like the sound of that, and neither did Kurama, who paused in his repairs to march over to the spiky-headed LC.

"Kagome-chan I don-" She cut him off.

"Okay! Now, how do I get inside?" She pressed her gloves against his tummy and moved them around, looking for the seam that would allow her entrance to his inner wires.

"Bare hands only." He said and Kagome nodded.

"Don't do it, Ka-" Shuuichi gave a frustrated growl and stomped back to the armless Kouga. "Fine, if you don't want to listen to me, fine! It's not like I don't know what that look meant or anything..." He grumbled to himself and switched his wire-specs back on and started back up with the Guardian's repairs.

Youko watched anxiously as Kagome ran her fingers over Hiei's flat belly. "Where's the seam?" She asked him, giddy happiness painting her melodious voice.

Hiei pressed just under he left pectoral and she heard the soft click as he unhooked himself. "Oh! That's cool." She mumbled and let the door swing open. A jumble of wires spilled out, like they always did, and she grinned at the complex wiring. "Oh, my favorite! Wire hunting!" She dug around inside of the curious-looking Hiei, fingers curling here and there on different wires and chips and other mechanical bits and pieces.

"Hm..." She bit her lip and knelt down to get a better look inside. "Well that looks normal." She kicked out her leg and her chair whizzed over to her. She seated herself down and pulled out a loose wire. "That's gotta go, don't want any sparks flying where they shouldn't." Kagome continued to talk to herself as she shifted through the jumbled mess.

After a few minutes of searching, Kagome gasped and pulled one hand from the inner workings of her latest LC. "Shu-chan, come here, you gotta see this." She said after pressing a button on her wire-specs.

Kurama pushed Kouga's arm into place and re-wire it before turning him back online. "Coming." He called out.

The Guardian shook his head before rubbing his newly fix arm. "Ugh, what the heck happened?" He asked and wrinkled his nose. "How did I..." He glared darkly at the bored-looking Hiei. "What the hell are you doing, Kagome?" Kouga growled out before hopping down from the operation table and stalking over to the seated female.

"Not now, Kouga-kun!" She waved her hand at him and hit a button on her wire-specs. "Do you see that, Shu-chan?" Kagome gave an excited gasp. "See? It's attached to his spinal cord!" She tugged on the thick wire and Hiei felt his inner circuits shudder. He forced himself not to shove the lively female from him.

"I don't believe it! I would have never thought to use the spinal cord as a stabilizer. How did the nano's know what to do?" Shuuichi tapped his forefinger on his chin before scooting forward and pushing Kagome's hands out of the way. "What else have you found?"

"Only that he has three times the strength wiring a government model would have."

Kurama's fingers froze. He leaned back and stared at her. "Thr-three times?" He turned his surprised eyes on the blinking Fire Guardian. "How? That shouldn't be possible, Kagome-chan. he... he's just a House Guardian, right? Not a Government Guardian!"

Kagome gave an excited trill of giggles before pushing Kurama's hands out of the way and started to fiddle with the jumble of wires. "And also, his systems aren't the exact same as Kouga-kun's or even Youko-chan's! The only thing I can come up with is that he doesn't function the same way as they do and that he's like a conglomeration of every type of LC out there... a hybrid if you will." She stuck in a dangling wire and heard a series of click.

"Weapon systems armed and ready for defense." VALC said and Kagome grinned.

"Well, there's a few other wires that need to be plugged in and then I need to run a full diagnostic of you, Hiei-kun." She gave the red-eyed LC a broad smile. "Then we'll let Shu-chan finish you off and put you in some proper clothes.

Youko, who couldn't help himself, threaded his fingers through Kagome's thick hair and tugged playfully. "You don't want to see what type of cock he'll get?"

Kurama pointed to the door with a stern look. "Leave." He commanded and Youko did with a few grumbles and growls thrown here and there.

Kouga watched the hybrid with narrowed blue eyes. "Give him a tiny cock." He said and shifted his weight to the over foot.

"Kouga-kun!" Kagome warned and attached another wire to its correct connection.

Hiei sat up straighter and Kagome jerked her hand back before the door could slam on her fingers.

He was still for a few minutes and Kagome nodded. "There, that's what was wrong; he didn't have his centrum unit correctly hooked up. It was in the wrong hole, that's why he was able to start himself and run that way. Would have fried his circuits if he had stayed like that for much longer." The raven stood up and plucked a long rectangular device from the large array of different diagnostic instruments.

When she turned around, Kagome jumped.

Hiei stared at her, red eyes bright and alert. His door was opened again. "What are you doing now?" He asked as she cautiously walked back to him. She shut his door absentmindedly.

"I'm going to see if there's anything wrong with your wiring that I can't get to from your central system. Have to make sure your running at 110%." She gave him a pretty smile, though was still a little freaked out that she hadn't fixed him correctly.

The hybrid held out his arm when she asked for it, face contorting slightly when she ran the device just over his heated skin. "Does it feel weird? Kouga-kun says it's like a bunch of spiders are crawling across his skin." She finished with the rest of his body before continuing on with her analysis, murmuring voice and digital notes.

It was a good thirty minutes later that Kagome finally completed Hiei's full-body analysis. "Alright, I'll leave you in Shu-chan's capable hands." She nodded to the male and skipped away. "Come on, Kouga-kun. Let's go get Youko-chan."

Hiei made to stand up, only for the redhead to step in his path and shake his head. "You're not completely done, Hiei-san. I still need to add on one part." Here he waved his hand in front of his crotch.

"The most important part, you mean! A man's not a man without his cock, my new friend." Youko chirped and bounced over to the two after entering the lab as Kagome left.

Kurama sighed angrily. "Kagome-chan should have given you a different personality, Youko."

The foxcom winked at Hiei before sliding up next to him. "Make sure it's a huge one too." He slid his tongue across his fangs. "A nice, juicy, fat-"

"Enough!" Shuuichi's face was a nice apple red.

Youko cackled devilishly. "Why? Gettin' a hard on, Master?"

"I'm getting physically ill is what I'm getting." Kurama snapped right back before he pointed Hiei into the creation chamber. "You're going to have to get back in there so I can make your genitalia." He said.

Kagome raced from her in-home lab and practically danced over to the sleeping Kanna. "Wake up, if you're fully charged!" She grinned, hands on her knees. Tapping Kanna on her tiny pale nose, the genius watched as her Laptop LC blinked her black eyes sleepily before quickly turning on.

"Oh, good evening Kagome-san." Kanna said, voice neutral but with a tiny childish lilt.

"What time is it?" The raven leaned back and looked up at the entering desktop. "Evening, Kagura-chan. Can you get me some clothes for the new LC? He's about the same size I am, maybe a little taller."

Kagura nodded before turning around and walking back into the kitchen.

"It is 1:41 a.m., Kagome-san." Kanna said and stared blankly up at the grinning female.

"Thanks, Kanna-chan! Can you connect me with my big sister?" Clasping her hands together in front of her chest, Kagome watched as her laptop's black eyes flashed blue momentarily as she raised her glowing mirror for Kagome to see.

"Wha... who the heck... Kagome-? Ugh..." A disembodied voice groggily said. "Why are you waking me up at..." The voice paused as her own LC told her the time. "ONE in the MORNING? Oh my... Kagome-chan, what could you possib-"

"I've done something amazing, Kikyou-nee-chan!" Kagome danced from side to side and watched as her sister's disheveled head appeared in the screen. "You have to get over here as fast as you can, cause I want to show off my latest LC! Oh, he's wonderful, Onee-chan, simply, positively perfect!"

Kikyou gave a deep sigh and moaned softly. "Just let me get dressed and I'll head on over. If it's something dumb, I do have full rights to pinch your nose off, correct?" She eyed the monitor sleepily before rubbing her eyes free from the sleep-crust.

"Of course! But you won't be disappointed! It's legit this time!" She waved to her drowsy sister before the screen fuzzed and clicked out of existence. "Alright! Now we need snacks and-"

"He's done, Kagome-chan. Where are his clo-Oh, never mind, Kagura is here with them. Thank you, Kagura."

She nodded her head before strolling over to Kagome. "Snacks, correct?"

Kagome grinned happily. "Yup, Kikyou-nee-chan is coming over so we need some food and the guest room to be made, if it's messy. OH! And we need to set up InuYasha's station, too." Bouncing over to Kurama, Kagome grinned and grabbed his hands. "So, how's our boy doing?"

"As good as any newborn LC can do. Better than most, actually." He rolled his shoulders and pulled his hands from her loose hold. "He's... cocky..." At Kagome's perverse smile, Shuuichi quickly reworded his sentence. "He's stubborn. I had to fight with him nearly the whole time until he figured out what I wanted to do with him. And Youko didn't help much..." The redhead glared at his LC, who strolled out from the lab.

"Oh, yes, I helped tons! Now Hi-chan has a wonderful vocabulary to choose from!" The foxcom winked at Kagome playfully. "And now, presenting, the delectable t-"

"Say his size and I'll run you through with a buzz saw." Kurama gave the smirking LC a disapproving glower.

"The delectable, fun-sized Hi-chan!" Youko waved his arms dramatically and stepped away from the door.

A male who stood a few inches taller than Kagome, herself, stared at her from the doorway to the lab. He had spiky black hair that stood on end and gave him nearly a foot in height that had a large white star-burst in the middle. His crimson red eyes watched her silently from under his thick black lashes. He had a heart-shaped face that came with most Asians and pouty lips with high cheekbones. A long neck was hidden beneath a cloud-like white scarf while his body was covered in a black cloak and tall boots that had fashionable buckles that wrapped around the top and across his ankle.

"His weapon of choice is a sword, surprisingly. The only other LC's I've seen with a sword is InuYasha-kun and Sesshoumaru-kun." Kurama said and rested the very tips of his fingers on his chin. "Very curious, Kagome-chan. Very curious." He shook his head and gave a jaw-cracking yawn. "Well, I'm going to head off to bed. Don't stay up to late, Kagsie. Remember you have an appointment tomorrow with Onigumo-san about his new LC that you were supposed to be building. It's due in three days." He gave her a bland look before strolling into his quarters, waving his hand for Youko to follow so he could charge.

"Well, Hi-chan, you're going to be my new guardian!" Kagome clasped her hands together and gave a happy squeal. "But you're going to be under Kouga-kun's watchful eye, okay? He's your senior and you have to listen to what he says, okay?" She uncurled her fingers and wiggled her pointer at him. "You got that? Listen to Kouga-kun; he knows what he's doing."

Hiei arched a thin brow at her before stepping closer to the suddenly flushing raven. "Why should I listen to him when I am twenty times stronger and smarter than he is?" He grabbed her hand and looked at the difference in size. "You need a Guardian that can keep you out of trouble and from what I have gotten from your LC's memories, you get into more trouble than any human should."

Kagome blinked at him, blue eyes curious. "You can see what's in their circuits, Hi-chan?"

He narrowed his red eyes to stare into her amazing azure orbs. "Do not call me that, Master. I am not a cutsy-little fru-fru LC that you can give annoying nicknames to. I am a Guardian that was made to protect you, and will be called by my correct name." He jerked her forward and pressed his chest against hers. "What is my name?" He asked her slowly, red eyes glowing darkly.

Kagome swallowed thickly and bit her lip. "6648-997-23849-1." She said quickly.

Hiei's body froze and his eyes closed as he went into screen-saver mode.

The raven slipped from his loosened grip and rested her hand on her chest. "Whew." She shook her head and nearly jumped out of her skin when the doorbell rang. "Waa!" Kagome cried out before Kagura brushed past the flustered female and opened the door.

"Ah, Kikyou-san, InuYasha-kun. Welcome. Please come in." Kagura stepped aside with a sweeping hand and nodded to the two as they slipped into the house.

"Kikyou-nee-chan!" Kagome cried out as she raced forward and tackled her big sister in a tight hug. "Oh, it's so good to see you again! It's been weeks since we've talked face to face!"

Kikyou hugged her sister back, though not as tightly. "Yes, well, it had better be good or I'm..." She paused when a glinting sword stared back at her as a menacing LC watched her with battle-ready violet eyes. "Is this the LC you're so excited about?" She said calmly.

"What?" Kagome turned around and squeaked in surprise. "Hiei! Put that sword down this ins-" Another sword, this one much larger than Hiei's, knocked the blade away from the two ravens and a silver-headed LC with twitching silver ears that were much smaller than Youko's stood in front of them, his blood-red haori quickly overcoming their vision.

"Step the fuck off, asshole." InuYasha hissed, his golden eyes slowly bleeding a dangerous teal, the white in his eyes turning red as his battle-ready mode kicked in.

"InuYasha, stand down. Hiei-" Kikyou looked at Kagome for a correction, and nodded when Kagome gave her a smile. "-was only trying to protect Kagome."

"Which is funny since he was in screen-saver mode." The raven gave a giddy little giggle. "See how awesome he is? Even when I put him in sleep mode he reset himself and... Well..." She blushed at the memory and Hiei gave a devilish smile.

Kikyou smirked and wrapped her arm around Kagome's shoulders. "What did he do?" She asked and poked her little sister's cheek playfully.

"Uh..." Kagome bit her lip and shrugged Kikyou's arm off of her. "ANYway, I want to show you something... special!" The raven clapped happily and reached for Hiei's belly.
