What A Life I Have!

Chapter 1 - The Awful Truth

Kagome was getting ready to jump into the well, but not before hugging her mother, brother and grandpa. She waved goodbye and jumped in being engulfed by a blue light. Once she was on the other side of the well, Kagome climbed out of the well using a vine that grew inside. When she climbed out she was greeted by her friends. Inuyasha was relieved that he didn't go after her like all those times before. She had her backpack with her as always and she walked over to where her friends stood where Inuyasha always ruin things at the moment.

"It's about fucking time Kagome! I thought we might have to camp out here until you got back".

"Oh Inuyasha, shut the hell up! You know you can't find the jewel shards without me so I can take as much time as I want. You better be glad that I'm through with school. I am 18 you know!"

"I don't care if your 108, we need to get going!"

"Sometimes I really wish you weren't so immature" Kagome sighed. "Let's go".

And with that, everyone set off towards the village where Kaede lives to wait until morning to move out. Little did they know that a certain demon was watching the entire seen with his golden eyes shining in the background. The group walked into Kaede's hut and found her mixing things up in a large pot of the fire pit. It smells delicious. The group sat down around the fire and enjoyed its warmth.

"Well, it is nice to see ye all again. What brings ye here?"

"We are just staying the night so we can go out and look for jewel shards" Sango said.

"I see. Well ye all is welcome as usual. Would ye like some soup?"
"That'd be great Kaede, thank you" Kagome said as the old miko issued out soup to everyone.

"So how's ye family Kagome?"

"They're fine. My brother is doing well in school and he's grown taller a bit". Kaede nodded. "I'm also glad I got to see him off on his first day in junior high where I graduated from".

"That's good Kagome".

"Thanks Sango".

"Did you bring some more ramen with you?"

"I always do Inuyasha!"

"Well make some, this soup is too light for my liking".

Kagome sighed..."Sorry about his rudeness Kaede".

Kaede shook her head..."It's alright child, I'm use to his rudeness".

"Yea, he don't know what being nice is" Shippo said with a bit of sarcasm.

"If you keep it up I'll show you how rude I can be you runt!" Inuyasha said holding his fist in front of Shippo's face.

"Inuyasha leave him alone, now". Kagome was getting sick of him always threatening her kit all the time. "Why do you have to pick on him everyday?"

"Because he don't know when to shut the hell up when it is none of his buisness that's why!"

'You need to tell me not threaten him, you're not his father you know!"

"Feh!" Inuyasha said crossing his arms and bringing his nose up in the air.

"Well, we might as well turn in for the night" Sango suggested.

"What about my ramen?"

"Not tonight since you wanna pick on little kids, now goodnight, come on Shippo". And with that Shippo ran to his mother and leaped to her shoulders as everyone went to bed for the night.

Morning came and an annoyed and upset Inuyasha woke up first and got everybody else up with his ranting. Kagome and Kaede fixed breakfast and everyone ate. Inuyasha was glad that it involved ramen and ate greedily. Soon it was time to go and everyone said their goodbyes and left for the next village. Through the forest they see a little girl running up towards them grinning. They soon recognize the little girl as Rin, Sesshoumaru's ward. She ran straight to Kagome and hugged her lower waist.

"Hi, Kagome!"

"Hi, Rin. How are you?"

"Fine. Lord Sesshoumaru and Rin saw you and Rin ran to you".

"Did you say Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked.

"That's Lord Sesshoumaru to you human!" said the green imp toad that was wobbling in front of the taiyoukai. Everyone gasped as they see him walking towards the group.

"What the hell do you want you bastard?" Inuyasha said with his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

Sesshoumaru let out an audible sigh and said, "I did not come here to play games with you, pup".

"Who the hell are you calling pup?!"

"Inuyasha!"
"What?!" he snapped as he never took his eyes of his half brother.

"It's bad enough that Shippo picks up your mouth but it would be nice if you stop it! I don't want little kids picking up your filthy mouth! It's bad enough that the villager's kids is picking it up from you".

"Feh! Tell them to cover their ears then and they won't hear it". A light bulb lit up on Kagome as she bend down and whispered something to them that the demon brothers can't hear and they both nodded.

"Like I said, what are you doing here Sesshoumaru?"

"I was merely walking when I caught the scent of the miko. Then later I caught the sent of the wolf who is closing in. Then Rin saw the miko and she took off".

"What? That wimpy wolf is coming too?!"

"That wimpy wolf is here!" Everyone turn to see Kouga leaning on a tree.

"Hey Kouga" Kagome said.

"Hey Kagome". He walked over to her and grabbed her hand. "How's my woman doing?"

"She's not your woman you ass!"

"She is too mutt mouth!"

"Yeah right, whatever" Inuyasha said crossing his arms over his chest.

Kagome just rolled her eyes and pulled her hand away. "So what brings you here Kouga?"

"I too caught your scent and came to see what's going on".

"I see".

Just then a soul collector appeared and encircled Inuyasha. He knew that Kikyo was near by and as soon and the snake-like demon went through the trees, Inuyasha ran after it without a second thought. This time Kagome couldn't take it, she shook her head, stomps the ground and walk in the same direction he went. Everybody slowly followed. Within five minutes, Kagome came upon a small clearing and saw Inuyasha and Kikyo fucking their brains out. They were covered in sweat. Inuyasha was kissing and licking Kikyo, really enjoying himself. The moans and grunts that was coming off of them was something Kagome didn't like hearing. Kagome couldn't believe what her eyes had seen. Then she heard something she will never forget in her entire life.

"Inuyasha, would be so glad as to becoming my mate. It's been a year now and I want to become yours forever".

"Yes my dear, sweet Kikyo. I have waited long enough as well".

"Oh, but what about the girl".

"Who Kagome? She's just a friend and nothing more. I love you, only you". And with that, Inuyasha bend his head down her neck and bit her, marking her as his forever. "I'll be with you, forever, Kikyo".

"And I too, my mate" she said as she smirked in the direction she knows Kagome is in.

This set Kagome on an uproar as she turned and quietly left the line of trees that was hiding her. "A year ! A YEAR!!...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!! THAT BASTARD!!' Kagome thought. Once she was out of earshot, she broke off in a full run. After receiving cuts and scraps on her legs she came in to a small clearing where her friends had stopped knowing she might run this way. She skid to a halt and bolted to another direction but not before Kouga grabbed her waist and stopped her. She struggled trying to get out of his hold.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO KOUGA!"

"Kagome why are you running from us? Be still!"
"NO, I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE, NO! LET ME GO!"

Sango ran in front of her and held her into a tight embrace. "You can let her go now Kouga". Kouga nodded and release his hold on Kagome.

"Kagome, what happened?" she ask as she felt her friend trembling in small sobs.

"That son of a bitch mated Kikyo that's what's wrong! Now let me GO!" She broke out of the hold and ran in the direction she was planning on going no knowing where she's going in the first place.

Sango sigh and got mad real quick. "How could he do that to her?! That arrogant self-centered bastard! How could he treat her so poorly? This is the umptenth time he has done this to her! I know she's sick of it by now! Kilala, come on let's go find Kagome". Kilala meowed and transformed and Sango hopped on, along with Miroku and Shippo. Sesshoumaru, along with Rin and Jaken on Ah-Un, rose to the sky with the fire cat.

'Oh Kagome be okay...please'.

After an hour of searching, they finally found their companion and was shocked to see what they saw. She was about to be eaten by a snake demon. She was kneeling to it as if asking to kill her. Sango three her boomerang and slice the demon in half. Kagome jumped as she see the large boomerang slice the demon in half. She looked up to where it was going and saw the whole group, minus a betraying hanyou. She got up as they landed in front of her. Surprised as to see Sesshoumaru with them.

"Kagome. What are you doing?!" said a concerned Sango.

"I...didn't...want to live anymore" she said quietly.

"Kagome" Sango sighed. "You know how worried we were when we was looking for you?"

"I know, but really didn't care". Sango walked up to her and embraced her again. Kagome returned the hug her friend was giving her.

"It'll be okay Kagome. As long as you have us. We will be there for you as always" Miroku said walking up to her from behind the trees.

"Yeah momma" Shippo whined. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at the kit...interesting.

"Thanks guys" Kagome said as she let go of her sister. She then glared at Sesshoumaru. "Um, I didn't know you were traveling with us Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"I figured since we are heading that way, I might as well be of some use. Beside, Rin wanted to travel with you, so as her protector I am obligated to come as well". Kagome nodded.

"Well...okay. The more the better".

"Uuh..." Kouga started.

"You can come too Kouga if you like" Kagome said as she finished what he was going to ask her.

"Thanks" Kouga said with a smile.

"Well, might as well get going" Kagome said who turned to start walking.

"What about...uh?" Sango trying to say Inuyasha but don't want to hurt anymore then she already have.

"If you mean mister heartbreaker, he's with that walking piece of dirt. We have Sesshoumaru and Kouga now, we really don't need him. Beside, he's mated with her, so he's with her now".

'Oh...wait, he what?" Sango, shocked, couldn't believe that Inuyasha would do such a thing to Kagome after everything they had been through.

"It's okay Sango, I'll get over it. Now come on" Kagome said walking through the forest.

The new group walked until they found a path. They followed that path until they reached a village. As they ented the village, some of the villagers were screaming "Demons are among us!" and they scurried for their lives. Kagome always roll her eyes knowing that the demons she travels with won't do any harm. Not even Sesshoumaru. The village elder boldly walked up to them and bowed slightly and gave them a warm smile and Kagome smiled back. Behind him were four guards ready for battle.

"Hello, my name is Eion. I am the village elder. Who might you be?"

"My name is Kagome and I am a miko. This is Sango the demon slayer, Miroku the monk, Shippo the kit, Kouga Prince of the wolf tribes, Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands, Jaken his retainer, Rin his ward and Ah-Un his dragon" Kagome said pointed at the owners of their names and titles.

"I see. Quite a group you got there. I suppose that you are the leader?"

"Well..."

"Yes, she is" Sango intercepted. Kagome gave her a 'are you kidding me' stare.

"Well, any human who has this kind of group were youkai and human can travel in harmony must know what they are doing". Kagome gave him a nervous laugh. "But it is a very great honor to meet the great Lord Sesshoumaru in our presence" the man said as he and his guards bow to them and Sesshoumaru nodded in return.
"Thank you so much Eion".

"You are welcome miko. You may explore the village if you like. Just make sure your group stays with you, hmm".

Kagome know with the wolf and taiyoukai, things could get rough, she just shrugged it off and said,

"Okay, no problem".

The group explored the village ignoring the stares and whispers they got. They ate lunch and bought a few items. After helping whatever they can they again said their goodbyes and left the village. They ressume the path they was on earlier and walked on. Kagome and Sango with Kilala on her shoulder, in front, Kouga and Miroku in the middle with Shippo perched on his shoulder, Rin and Jaken on Ah-Un and Sesshoumaru taking up the rear. Kagome then felt an aura and a shikon jewel shard. She stops as with the others knowing that she felt something.

"What is it Miss Kagome? Is it a jewel shard?" Miroku asked.

"Yes it is Miroku. It's Kikyo's, and he's with her". Everyone's eyebrows went up (except for the taiyoukai of course).

"What the hell does she want?" Sango asked who was getting real tired of the dead priestess. Soon the said woman appear out of a line of trees and stopped just ten feet in front of the group. Sesshoumaru was beside Kagome at this point.

"Kagome, I believe you have something of mine?"

"Like hell I do! You have Inuyasha so why don't you leave me the fuck alone?!"

"Oh, and speaking of him, thank you for not claiming him. I had a real good time last night" Kikyo teasingly said.

"Why you dirty..."

"Sango! I got this" Kagome said to her friend with a smirk on her face. Sango knew what that smirk was, and kept quiet.

"What's with that look on your face? Are you mad that I took Inuyasha, after all, he was mines first".

"No. I'm not mad anymore. And now that I look at you, I'm not even hurt...you can come out now Inuyasha!" Everyone was shocked to see that Kagome knew he was hiding. True enough he came out of the trees. "Now what was I saying...oh yes. I'm not hurt anymore that you took Inuyasha. I figured that he never did love me like I loved him. But it will take a little time to get over. So for your answer to your question...no...and if you're talking about surrendering my soul to you...HELL NO!! Are you insane?!!" By this time Kagome was pissed, more then usual.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha said but was cut off by a pissed off Kagome.

"Don't you dare call me you hanyou! You traitor!" Inuyasha was shocked that she used that word.

"But I want to tell you that Kikyo will be joining the group to help us..."

"Ha! Let me guess...because she's your mate...right!"

"What?" Inuyasha was took stunned that she knew before he could tell her.

"OH! I'm sorry, did I spoil the surprise? Did I give it away? Did I say something? Because I already knew that. So you had a good time last night, hmm? Cause I 'accidentaly' saw you fucking her brains out and what took me was that you told her that I was no more than a friend to you when your ass was the one who told me you love me you asshole! On top of that you, marked the bitch!" During all this Sango was covering her mouth trying desperately hard not to break out into a frenzy of laughter.

"Kagome if you..." Inuyasha was cut off again.

"No! If you noticed Inuyasha, that your brother had joined us. And they now follow under me. I don't blame them. Who wants to follow a traitor? A heartbreaker? Not me. Not EVER! So you can Kikyo can go off and be happy. We got shards to find and Naraku to kill".

"What the hell is he doing with you when you know he can snap at you at any minute?!" Inuyasha managed to ask.

"Because, dear brother, I'm not like you. I'm doing this as a favor to Rin".

"Feh! Yeah right".

"It's true and if you don't believe, oh well". Inuyasha never felt such anger rediating off of Kagome before. This must really hurt her.

"Well she's joining my group, understand?"

"Your group consists of you and Kikyo, you shit!" Kagome turned to her group. "If any of you want to stay with him at this point you can. I'm leaving before I do something I might regret later...or none at all". And with that she turned and walked away. Surprisingly, everyone left with her. Inuyasha was furious.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Inuyasha, we rather be with Kagome than you right now since you have Kikyo to protect" Miroku said with his narrowed eyes.

"But she's joining us" he said as he and his mate walked behind the group. Kagome stopped and turned sharply.

"If that man-stealing bitch joined this group Inuyasha, she will try her best to steal my soul and kill me. Do you want that on your conscience?!"

"No, but..."
"But nothing! I will kill her myself with no remorse if that ho join this group!"

"How dare you?!" Kikyo yelled.

"No it's how could you? I saw you smirking at me when I discovered you two mating. So it's all on you". Kagome turned and walked on.

"What are you planning Kikyo?" Inuyasha ask now looking at his mate with suspicion.

"Nothing. I just want her soul so I can live again and we can have children together".

"You better make sure it's yours Inuyasha and not Naraku's" Kagome added. Everyone stopped, even Sesshoumaru.

"What?!" Sango said with wide eyes.

"Oh...damn I said that out loud huh?' Kagome asked with a smirk. This made Kikyo mad. "What Kikyo? Am I telling the truth? It hurts don't it. Now you know how I feel right about now. Now I'll say it again. You are not welcomed in this group and if I catch latching onto us within one mile I'll turn you back to ashes!" Kagome yelled facing her anciester.

"I surpass you in power, girl".

"What?! Where have you been for two years?"

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked, quite annoyed.

"Ooh, that's right, you're too busy fucking to even notice. I've been training for two years by a miko before she died. Her name was Sakura, she's Midoriko's sister that no one knew of".

"You're just a copy and copies are obselete...weak as you call it".

"Did you say...Sakura?" Sango said with wide eyes in realization.

"Yes I did...what's wrong Sango?"

"She was not only Midoriko's sister, who was as we all know to be the most powerful miko to walk this earth...she was...she was a pure legend next to Midoriko".

"Her sister you say? Wow" Kagome said putting a finger to her mouth in awe.

"Kagome do you know what this means?"

"No...what?"

"Do know everything that she tought you?"

"Yes, even though it was hectic and exhausting and everything else. I barely got any sleep".

"So that's what you've been doing when we thing you went home?!"
"Yeah. So a certain nosey won't be in my buisness, but he was in someone else!"

"Feh!"

"So you was trained by Sakura, that still means that you are pathetic!" Kikyo hissed.

"Oh...yeah!". And that, Kagome started to glow pink and it became brighter.

"Uh, Kagome?" Sango said who was getting scared, fast.

"Don't worry Sango, I won't hurt her...yet" Kagome said with a smirk.

"Such a bitch" Kikyo sighed. That done it for Kagome.

With one step she ran so fast that no one could see her, except for Sesshoumaru. She was standing right behind Kikyo. Everyone gasped (except, you know who) as they see their friend still glowing pink behind the dead miko. Kikyo turned and was shocked to feel the power that is coming off of her. Kagome made and small energy disc in her hand and stretched it into a thin stick. She then held it like a baseball bat and gave it a mighty swing and hit Kikyo square in the face sending her flying up in the air. She was at least fifty feet high. When Kikyo came down, she came down hard. They saw that her left cheek and jaw was burned severly and smoking. Kagome relaxed and the board desintergrated. Kagome then walked back to the front of the group who stood in awe and shock, even...you know.

"That is just a little taste of what I can do to you, Kikyo. I suggest you and Inuyasha go your seperate ways. When we all meet Naraku, we will take him down, but you will not join-our-group". She turned and walked off along with her group.

Inuyasha was at his mate side when she crash-landed on the ground. He was so shocked that he barely notices his mate in pain. When he did he went over and attend to her.

"OH! And Kikyo?" Kikyo looked at her with hate in her eyes. "I'll tell Naraku that you mated to Inuyasha and you're not his anymore". She waved as she walked on down the path with her group behind her leaving two stunned people.
