Kagome started screaming "Put me down Kouga. You really are making a bad habit out of this. This is the 9th time this month you have kidnapped me. And Inuyasha is starting to get really pissed off. I believe he really is gonna " Kouga sets Kagome down gently and says "Kagome, when are you going to stop playing tag with me and take up your duties as my mate" Kagome couldn't believe her ears as she screamed "Stop calling me your mate and on the other hand! Tag? And what duties?" Kouga laughed maniacally as he gave Kagome this coy little look. Kagome gulped "Stop it, Kouga, your scaring me!"
Then they stopped to hear this big thud outside and two of Kouga's gang came running back in saying how that stupid half-demon had attacked them and how he is angerier as ever this time he actually manage to seriously injure them. This brought a quick look of panic on Kouga's face, but just as fast as it came it left. And he had devised another "evil" scheme to try and get that "insolent puppy" to leave "his mate" alone. He commanded the remaining pack to take Kagome in the back and "protect" her from this white-haired mongrel. As Inuyasha roared "Where is she?"
All Inuyasha could hear was laughing until Kouga stepped out of the shadows and chuckled "You come in here like you own the world and Kagome. Well, mongrel all my wooing has paid off. Kagome has finally agreed to be my mate or should I say realized my true power and fell madly in love with me and insanely out of love with you." You could see the jealous welling up inside him and you could especially tell when he shouted at Kouga "Your lying! Kagome would neve-" Kouga just looked at Inuyasha and said "Then why hasn't she come out greeting you yet?"
Inuyasha's eye starts to twinch as Kouga stuck his tongue out. Inuyasha quickly pulled out Tetsaiga and raced toward Kouga, but he quickly dodged Inuyasha's attack. Kagome came running out quickly thanking Inuyasha. He just blew her off and said he didn't care about if she was gone or not. Kagome's eyes filled up with tears as she cried "Fine! I'll just get out of your hair" as she ran off she screamed "Sit boy!" and as Kouga inspected the deep impression in the ground. He laughed and started to run after Kagome when he felt a grasping feeling on his tail and heard "Just where do you think your going, Kouga?" Back with Kagome she had finally reached the well, but just as she was about to jump in she hear voices coming from the bottom of it.
Out popped the heads of her three friends, Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri, all struggling to get out first then all three were pushed out and then popped out Houja asking "Why did Souta push us down that well and where are we?" As the three looked around and spotted Kagome standing there gawk-eyed the four girls ran hugging eachother while little did they know who was spying in the bush. Inuyasha and Kouga. Both stepping all over eachother to see. When the girls finally stopped hugging eachother she asked how they got here. They all looked confused, but Ayumi spoke up "All FOUR of us were coming to visit you and we told Souta we weren't leaving till we saw you, so, he took us to the shrine and pushed all of down the well and here we are" Kagome still didn't understand until she saw the Ayumi had a Shikon jewel shard in between her eyes, Eri had one in her hip, Yuka in her chest, and Houjo had one in the palm of his hand.
Two things still bugged her; one) how did the jewels get there and two)what would think of Inuyasha. Ater all they were the ones who suggested she "breakup" with him. Then all of the suddened while she was deep in thought she felt strong arms embrace her. When she looked up there was Houjo holding her like ther was no tommorrow all he siad was "I'm happy your alright" at that exact moment come crashing out of the bush was Inuyasha screaming "Get your stinkin' hands off her" with Tetsaiga raised high, but before ha had reached Houjo, Kouga leaped in between Kagome and Houjo when hecaused the two to seperate he looked Houjo square in the and growled "No more people will touch MY mate! Especially, a stupid human like you." Before Houjo could answer to this Inuyasha screamed "Stop calling her that. And remember Kagome is just a stupid human too" All Houjo could do was say "I don't know who you people are, but.....uh.....well me and Kagome are a bit of an item. Sorry,.............um.......well...........sirs?" at the same time all three, Inuyasha, Kouga, and Kagome had said "You are?" Inuyasha face changed from shock to frustration as he yelled at Kagome "You are Kagome! Why are you surprised?", but before she could explain herself the three guys all starting arguing. Ayumi leaned into Kagome and commented "Before you got "sick" you didn't have a single guy chasing after you, but now you have way to many" as Kagome got into a "heated discussion" with Ayumi she didn't notice Eri walking up to Inuyasha and Kouga and had asked "Which of you fools is the jealous & violent boyfriend that dumped Kagome for his ex?"
Now Yuka had escaped Kagome's death grip and backed up her friend "Yeah! We have to tell you don't deserve Kagome and we here to hurt you like you hurt Kagome." Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged looks blushing and Kouga starting cracking up. Kagome started to tackle Eri and Yuka. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by her shirt collar and picked her up and looked and said "You told them we were dating and that I dumped you" Kagome was quick to explain herself to him "Listen they wouldn't understand our relationship any other way! I promise" He jumped on that comment so fast "And how would you explain our 'relationship', huh??!??"Kouga quickly jumped in between Inuyasha and his beloved Kagome. Grabbed her hands and smiled "You told me as well that you to were invovled with that insolent puppy. Now that he has dumped you there is nothing standing in my way of having you completly as my mate, hahahaha!"Kouga quickly turned as Houjo politely tapped on his shoulder and said quietly "I do believe I have stated that I am going after Kagome" At that time Shippou, Miroku, and Sango arrive, but listen to all the interesting conversations going on, especially, Inuyasha and Kagome's the whole thing was yelled;
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry I told them that we were dating. I can't apologize enough"
"That doesn't matter. I'm mad that you told them I dumped you..."
"Then how would you put it?"
"I simply just chose the one I wanted.Oops I didn't mea-"
"Oh I know what you meant my friends were right I should of dumped you after that Kouga incident"
"They told you that"
"Yeah, they were right too, they told me I would get hurt. And then I catch you and Kikyo together and you go and tell me that you have chosen to follow her to the depths of Hell AND will kill Naraku for her, argh!!!!!!! It makes me sick."
"Then why didn't you go ahead and go through with it?"
"Because a long time ago you told me to trust you more, so I did, and it seems everytime I do I get hurt"
Then they listened to the next one between Kouga and Houjo. That one was very humourous. It sounded like a couple of toddlers arguing over the last cookie.
"Listen, Houji, Kagome is my mate, not yours, so beat it"
"Its Houjo. And Kagome and me are going out."
"Dream on"
"You"
"No you"
"You"
"No you"
"You"
"No you"
This went back-and-forth for a while, but Sango and Shippo watched as Miruko walked over to Kagome's friends and groped them all as he asked "Would you bear me a son" he managed to come back with three hand marks on his face. Sango managed to say one thing "Do you always have to insist on asking that?" Kagome explained how her friends got here an that they had Shikon jewel shards, but not to attack them or else. Inuyasha's eyes glittered evilly as he raced towards them, but before he could reach them Yuka appearred out of nowhere and grabbed his ears and shrieked "Oh my god! Are those your actual ears. Disgusting! They do kinda grow on you though. I didn't notice them till now. Kagome how could you date a cat-like eared freak" Kagome was about to explain when she heard Kouga scream "Let go of that!"
She turned around so fast and saw Ayumi yanking Kouga's tail "Wow Kagome this tail won't come off. Hey Yuka, you think those DOG ears are bad look at this fluffy tail growing out of this guy. Freak, huh this tail is actually real?" Kagome quickly looked around for Eri and spied her almost killing Shippo by hugging him too hard. All she could manage to hear Eri say was "Your sooooooooooooooooooooo cute. I wish I could take you home and name you Mr. Cuddlebuns. You can sleep at the foot of my bed like any dog,okay? I love your fluffy tail and pointy ears so much" As Shippo wriggled, Miroku leaned in and whispered "You have no idea how lucky you are" Of course that comment was followed by Sango's boomerang on the back of his head. Kagome gathered up Houjo, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi and started from the begining to get them catched up. at that same time Inuyasha sniffed the air and whispered "Kikyo"
Kikyo landed on the ground right in front of Inuyasha and just looked at him like she was looking at his soul. After that she had walked right past him to Kagome. Kagome stood up very slowly and carefully, but looking at Kikyo the whole time. Her eyes never left Kikyo's. Kikyo declared that before she defeat Naraku she must first kill Kagome. Ayumi stepped forward and asked Kagome while keeping her eyes to on Kikyo "Kagome dear, is this the ex your dog-hearted, two-timing, no good jealous, sword-swinging boyfriend chose over you?" Kagome nodded once, eyes still fixated on Kikyo.
Kikyo and Kagome staring eachother down. Yuka then stepped on the other side of Kagome and tried comforting her by saying "She is nothing compared to you. And forget that Inuyoshi or whatever his name is you still got Houjo, oh yeah, and that Kouga guy" Kagome finally put her head down and replied "Actually, I'm nothing compared to her and I can't help, but feel the only reason people here care about me is because of her, but I'm not Kikyo and never will be!" her friends exchanged confused looks. Kikyo starting pulling out her bow and arrow when Inuyasha put his hand on her shoulder and asked "Why do feel you got to kill Naraku? I told you I would do that for you" Kagome turned to her friends and trying to stifle her tears said "Lets go back where we belong" She tried to say good-bye to Inuyasha, but he was to caught with asking Kikyo questions and telling her how happy he was she was okay. Kagome's friends jumped down the well one by one Houjo paused and looked at Kagome and said "See ya on the other side."
Kagome sat on the edge of the well. feet dangling inside and whispered to herself "Goodbye Inuyasha" and she let go and fell down into the well. Shippo noticed the tears in Kagome's eyes and the fact that she left all because of Inuyasha. He ran and pounced on Inuyasha's back pulling his ears, but Inuyasha didn't move still gazing into Kikyo's eyes. When Kikyo realized Kagome had gotten away. She slapped Inuyasha and ran into the well. Kouga got his chance so he tackled Inuyasha into the ground and start choking as he yelled "Moron! Fool! Idiot! Baka! Bakayarou! Insolent puppy! How could you let her leave? Didn't you see the tears in her eyes she is gone for good now. Now that stupid human gets her and neither one of us. Moron!" Inuyasha wriggled out and screamed "Kikyo left for good?"
Kouga slapped his other cheek "Not her! Kagome! I can't see why she loves you!" Miroku smacked both of them "She is not gone for good. Knowing Kagome she just needs to blow off some steam, am I right Sango?" Sango slowly took out the boomerang and pounded Miroku with it "No, Miroku she's gone for good. I'm afraid the longer Inuyasha waits the more Kagome will think about and then she will realize she can't go through the pain no more. And think the only other option is to never come here again. Now all we can do is rely on Inuyasha and hope his feelings for Kagome are true enought to go back for her or else were skrewed" Miroku perked up his head "What did you say?"
Again being pounded over the head by Sango. He just rubbed his and walked over to Inuyasha "You heard Sango go to Kagome before.....two things could happen Kikyo could find her in the other world and kill her or she could decide not to come back." Kouga raised his "So, either way I don't see my mate ever again? Is that what you are saying monk?" At that instance Inuyasha reverted back to his "normal" self "Who are you calling your mate? She has a name ya know. Hey Miroku you said Kikyo went to kill her?!?" Miroku's face slowly went into disbelief at that stupid question by Inuyasha. I mean where was he. Oh yeah in Kikyo land (quoted by Kouga). Back in Kagome's time as she pulled herself out of the well she found four comforting faces and Houjo's hand reaching out to her. She let him help her out of the well. She faked a smile to them when they walked out of the Family Higurashi Shrine it was raining and Kagome thought to herself "How ironic is this?" Houjo turned to her started to kiss her, but Kagome moved her head so his lips landed on her cheek. He hugged her and walked off. Her friends asked if she needed them to stay the night. She shook her and walked into the house. Only her grandfather was home he tried to talk to her "Kagome your mom is picking up Souta from and he is grounded for pushing your friends down the well. We weren't expecting you home so soon. Did you have another fight with that dog-demon friend of yours?" Kagome strated wlking up her stairs and mumbled "He doesn't even know I'm alive, gramps." She walked into the bathroom and slipped into the bathtub. And instantly started crying it was all she could do. Then, she remembered she promised herself she would never cry for Inuyasha since there was nothing she could do about him and Kikyo. No matter how she wished Kikyo dead..........again. One last and final time.
When she got out of the tub her tears had stopped, but her heart was still aching everytime she thought of Inuyasha. Everytime she thought of Kikyo though she thought rage boiled inside her. She sat down at her desk trying to study even a little, but her mind kept getting off track and onto the well. Then, she wished she hadn't fallin in the well. Tears started threatening to stream out when Kagome's mother came smiling saying"Honey, you have a guest waiting outside by the tree. Ask them in so they don't get a cold in the rain, okay?" Kagome ran past her mother, down the stairs, and out the door with the words "Inuyasha" ringing in her head . As she approached the tree. She saw Kikyo sitting on the large roots as she stood up all she said "I told back during the 'Death by Illusion' that I thought of you as a pest and would once get rid of you. I shall keep my promise." Kikyo pulled out her huge glinting sword. It looked like it had never been used Kikyo looked at the sword then at Kagome and laughed evilly "I got this from Sesshoumaru, my new love. He let me use it, only if I put one of my shards of the jewel so it could be used to kill. Your thinking Sesshoumaru and Kikyo why? I easily fell in love with him. See after your death Inuyasha won't be able to think strait and will blame himself, so, my dear Sesshoumaru will be able to kill him easily and get Tetsaiga. And I will get what I have been wanting since I pursued Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru. Everything that has happened I planned out every little detail." Kikyo looked at the sword again and looked up fast and sprang off the tree and shouted prepare to die Kagome Higurashi!" While Kagome screamed the sword punctured right into her chest. Kagome's body went limp and fell into the mud. The rain had been coming down harder now. Kagome opened her eyes and managed to get out " Inuyasha loves you so much how could you betray him?" Kikyo laughed and replied "Thats just matters of the heart. Love is for fools." Kagome closed her eyes again and said "Then call me a fool." A tear streamed down her face, but got lost in the puddle of her blood.
As Kikyo fled back to the shelter of the well. She stopped in front of it and chuckled. Once again she took a deep breath and jumped in. Kagome lay there motionless listening to the rain falling beside her. She heard the front door open and her mom screech. She could hear her mom's feet running towards her, but everything was like it was in slow motion. Her reached her side fell to her knees in the mud putting Kagome's head on her lap. Kagome looked up at her mother and said weakly "Mom it wasn't him"
As she lost conciousness the last thing she heard was her mom screaming "Call an ambulance, Souta NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" When she finally awoke she found Houjo asleep on the couch in the hospital room. At that moment her mother came in saying "Why dear your awake. You have been asleep for 3 days now sleepy head," Kagome pulled herself up and asked hurriedly "Did Inuyasha come yet?" Houjo rose also "He's not coming Kagome. You still love him even after all youv'e been through." Kagome leaned over the hospital bed and slapped him and added "Don't you ever blame him for my mistakes!"
Houjo stood up and left the room. Kagome's mom explained that he hadn't left her side since she was hospitalized. Back in the War and States Era, Miroku and Sango were trying to convince Inuyasha to go back for Kagome. He had it up to there with those two bugging him so accidently shouted "I'm just waiting till the next full moon." shortly after he blurted it out his hands covered his mouth. Miroku's smile got really big and evil as he said "Thats tomorrow night, Inuyasha. Don't you turn human on full moon? I believe you do. Isn't that sweet you little......um.....sweetheart. Are you part poodle by any chance?" Inuyasha crossed his arms and plunked down on the ground as his friends laughed at him. In a somewhat annoyed voice he asked Sango where Shippo was. She tried stifling her laughter as she answered him "He is staying on his own because he can't bear to look or speak to you after you hurt Kagome in such a way. That is coming straight from his mouth and Kouga well he is preparing to kill you for hurting his 'mate' so prepare to die Inuyasha. Coming from Kouga's mouth." Miroku laughd "Did you see Kagome's friends they were fine choices to bare m-" He stopped when he saw the looks Sango and Inuyasha were giving him. Inuyasha ran past Sango and Miroku when he saw Kikyo come out of well. After he passed them. They both grabbed his arms and held him back. Sango yelled at him "Don't you see the blood on her sword and don't you recognize it as your brothers. She obviously has caused Kagome some harm. And yet you still run to her. You don't desrve Kagome if you forgive that monster!" Inuyasha stopped wriggling for a second then punched miroku and slapped Sango.
He ran over to Kikyo held her arms and asked "What have you done to Kagome?" Kikyo noticed the anger on his face on so she kissed him and then hugged him while saying "I did what I had to do so you wouldn't feel bad about following me to the depths of-" Inuyasha pushed her away and mouthed "You killed her?" After saying that he looked up at the night sky and figured it was midnight he closed his eyes as his ears vanished and his white hair went to black. When he finally opened them. He looked at Kikyo like he didn't know who she was. He jumped over her and into the well. Kikyo through the sword to the ground and shouted this wasn't part of the plan.
Miroku and Sango exchanged looks and noticed Sesshoumaru coming into the clearing he asked "What are you going to do my dear? My brother has followed your plans up until now. I guess you underestimated his feelings for her. I guess you don't know his every move either." Kikyo smiled and ran into his arms as they shared a kiss.
Miroku and Sango gasped at the thought that Kikyo had planned everything since she met Inuyasha. Kikyo walked off with Sesshoumaru. Back in Kagome's time Inuyasha pulled himself out of the well. When he stepped out of the Family Higurashi Shrine he saw Souta and Kagome's grandfather coming up the steps. He went over to them and asked "Is Kagome de-" with that question Kagome's grandfather hit him over the head "Don't be foolish. She did come close though, Inuyasha. Yes, I recognized you as a human, fool. It is your fault my precious Kagome is inujured, isn't it?" Inuyasha nodded and her grandfather hit him again and added "Her mother will be home soon from the hospital just for dinner that me and Souta came to prepare. You will stay tonight and see Kagome in the morning. Her friends will take you." Her grandfather hit him one more time and went in the house pulling Souta shortly behind him. Grandfather handed Inuyasha a towel and a pair of MODERN clothes. Inuyasha inspected them, but had no idea what to do, so her grandfather explained. After Inuyasha took his bath he heard the front door open. When he came down the stairs he stopped to hear Kagome's mom send Souta out of the room and say "Father, I fear she is getting worse. They were glad she is concious, but the wound keeps reopening and her internal bleeding is terrible. They are afraid her wounds are what are slowing her recovery, but I know its a broken heart. She just doesn't have the will anymore."
Kagome's mother started to cry. Inuyasha walked up the stairs to Kagome's room he looked on her desk and saw a picture of her and her friends before her 15th birthday hen she first met him. He picked up the picture and threw it against the wall. Kagome's mother came runing in just as Inuyasha was jumping from the roof to the tree. Her grandfather yelled out the window "Always a pleasure to see you." Kagome mother walked outside to the tree and said to Inuyasha "A few months ago I told my daughter the reason why I love this, you two probably have your own reason, but me and her father had a huge arguement and I was postive our relationship was over. Sure enough the next day he proposed. The part I didn't tell Kagome was what the fight was about. It was about his ex-girlfriend, Sho-kan Suichi. He told me he loved us both. He was always talking about her and thinking about her. I told him I wasn't her and could never be her. Compared to her I thought I wasn't important. So, when I see my daughter and you it takes me back to me and her father, but you and her could not have the same ending." Kagome's mom walked back inside. Inuyasha fell asleep in the tree. That morning he heard Kagome's friends calling him. He was so surprised he felt out of the huge tree and landed onhis head. Ayumi commented "Wow! Inuyasha your really cute in your human form, but the real question is any difference in personality?" the three girls nodded in agreement. The four of them all started to walk to the hospital. When they arrived Inuyasha told Kagome's friends to wait outside for a minute. When he shut the door to Kagome's hospital room. As he looked over at her sleeping he thought "Which one do I care more about? I wouldn't of come here through time or treated Kikyo like that if I didn't l-" he stopped that thought as she woke up.
Kagome opened her eyes and instead of seeing Houjo saw Inuyasha. A smile couldn't help, but come across her face anyway, but it went away the longer she looked at him standing there. Kagome didn't know what to say, so she said "Why did y- I-I-I mean your in your human form, cool." (she begins to turn away from him and faces the wall) she gave him a nervous smile. Inuyasha couldn't help, but ask "Did Kikyo really do this to you? Was she actually trying to kill you?" Kagome raised her hand as if to slap him, then started to cry. Inuyasha started to put his hand on her back then stopped when she started to speak "No Inuyasha she didn't do this to me. She just came through the well to talk to me. I'm sorry if I caused you and your precious Kikyo any sepration anxiety." Inuyasha sighed as he fell cross-legged to the ground "Kagome you both mean a lot to..." he stopped talking when he heard Kagome giggle "You can sit on the bed ya know, dog-breath." Inuyasha blushed as he sat at the very edge of the bed, his feet fidgeting on the floor. Kagome lowered her head "There is something I need to tell you about Kikyo, Inuyasha. Will you listen without yelling till I'm done." Inuyasha nodded and thats where there fight started. It started calm then rose to pure hatred.
"I heard Kikyo tell me thes exact words '...Sesshoumaru, my new love. He let me use it, only if I put one of my shards of the jewel so it could be used to kill. Your thinking Sesshoumaru and Kikyo why? I easily fell in love with him. See after your death Inuyasha won't be able to think strait and will blame himself, so, my dear Sesshoumaru will be able to kill him easily and get Tetsaiga. And I will get what I have been wanting since I pursued Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru. Everything that has happened I planned out every little detail.' and those were her exact words. I'm sorry I couldn't believe it myself, but then I thought..."
"Your lying!!!"
"Why would I lie about this, Inuyasha?"
"To get me away from Kikyo and have me all to yourself."
"Get out!"
"No, I wanna now why you would be so selfish."
"Why I would be so selfish? This coming from a guy who has never once considered my feelings."
"Never considered your feelings? I came her to ask you to come back and apologize for Kikyo. I will talk to her ya know?"
"I'm not going back ever. I can't take it anymore. Anytime I see you and HER together I want to scream, but I don't because I want you to be happy. Is that so selfish?"
Little did Inuyasha know that Houjo had over heard everything from the bathroom. Kagome knew he was there, but had just forgot about him. Inuyasha had refused to leave without Kagome turned to him, tears covering her face as she screamed "Sit boy" Inuyasha went crashing into the floor. He rose up holding a pillow just over her face. When the nurse came rushing in after that big boom and saw Inuyasha holding the pillow and dragged him out of the room and out of the hospital. Kagome's friends noticed his yelling as he was being dragged out, so, they rushed into the room. As they came in Kagome's face was buried into the pillow crying. Her friends all sat around the trying to comfort her when she brought her face up she tried to force a smile and hold back tears. They asked her what was wrong and she cried into Yuka's lap "I had to turn him down on going back. I couldn't take him and her together. I don't have the heart to watch it anymore. I had to. I know it was the right thing to do , but why do I feel so bad?" Ayumi sighed "You really do love him. How sad! You have to stay here. Your just hurting yourself more by seeing them." Yuka and Eri nodded in agreement. When they all saw the bathroom door swing open and Houjo say "No." He walked over to the bed and pushed Eri off as he explained "Kagome, you love him with all your heart you just haven't come to realize it yet. And not being by him would hurt more than seeing him love someone else. And from what I've heard between you two, well before the fighting and attemptive murder, he does care about you. Almost as much as........well..........me. Probably just as much. I know how it feels to love someone and know they love someone else, but it hurts when their gone. I think you should go back, but make sure to come back for those of us who care about you in this century."
Kagome flew over and hugged him. While Ayumi leaned over to him "Moron, you could have had her be with you and yet you drove her back into the arms of that dog-breathed jerk. What are you thinking?" Kagome reliquished her arms off Houjo as he kissed her cheek and said to Ayumi "I just want her to be happy. Thats all, Ayumi. You as her friend should want the same."
Ayumi gasped and took a step back. Houjo walked up to the nurse and told her that Mrs. Higurashi wanted to be releashed. The nurse told him "I'm sorry in Mrs.Higurashi current condition it could be a hazard and a risk to her life to releash her now."
He tried to tell her right back "If you don't let her go her it could be an even bigger risk and damage to her soul." The nurse refused still. Houjo turned around and walked back into the room. Kagome sat up and asked "Can I leave and go back to Inuyasha and the others?" Houjo shook his head and told her what the nurse said. Kagome understood, but a tear still stained her face." Houjo hugged her and said he would get her out. Kagome laughed nervously and said to Houjo "Your way to uptight, Inuya-I mean Houjo. Houjo your way to serious I'm fine I really don't care if dog-breath is still mad. Or as Kouga would call him insolent puppy. Its actually really funny to hear that, but-"
She stopped rambling when she noticed Houjo had left. When she asked where he was going both Yuka and Ayumi smacked the back of her head "You called him Inuyasha. How stupid can you be Kagome? He's gonna dump you if you don't watch out." Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs "He's not my boyfriend, so, get out, NOW!!!!!!!! And I wanna go home. If I don't I am gonna scream till you let me go or........" Eri interupted ".........or till you die right?" Kagome nodded smiling. She asked Eri to hand her that chair so she could throw it. Eri started to, but Kagome couldn't hold it up because her lack of strength. Asked Eri to throw it. So, Eri nodded and threw it out the window. The nurse immediatly threw her out, gently of cousre. Eri helped Kagome home. When Yuka, Houjo, and Ayumi arrived back to the room. The room was completely empty and the window was broken. The three ran back to Kagome's house. When they arrived Eri and Kagome were packing a bag. Ayumi annouced "I'm going to. I have to make sure that NOTHING will happen between you and either one, the cat or the husky creatures. And there is NO scaring me out of it. If you or Houjo won't save your relationship who will?" Kagome laughed as she tried to tell Ayumi "If I was to tell you what really happens there, with all the demons and other dangerous creatures, oh yeah, and Miroku is counted one of those dangerous creatures. Well, you would freak out. You can't handle it, Ayumi, neither could I at first without Inuyasha to help me and save my rearend how many times. So, thats why I gotta help him protect Kikyo. No matter how much I want her dead......again." Ayumi seemed unmoved still. When she was done packing Ayumi grabbed her own bag as well as Kagome's bag because she felt Kagome wasn't strong enough to carry it. As they reached the well. Yuka, Houjo, and Eri gave the two a proper goodbye. When they reached the other side of time. Ayumi came out first and then Kagome pulled herself up a little just enough for her head and neck to pop out.
She spotted Inuyasha sneering at her "Why did you come back and bring that?" he gestured towards Ayumi. Kagome said calmly (yes surprising she actually isn't biting anyone's head off) "I came to help you protect Kikyo. After all we are FRIENDS, right? Or at least thats how you see us. And Ayumi brought herself for her own embaressing reasons, of which I will not name." Ayumi got all up in Inuyasha's face and yelled "I'm her to protect my best friend from everything weird and demented in this world including you. I am to make sure that you try no funny business with Kagome or hurt her in anyway." Inuyasha looked blankly at Ayumi then turned to Kagome blushing very angrily. When he and Ayumi noticed Kagome pulling herself out, but her wound had reopened and was bleeding again. Ayumi quickly helped Kagome out and screamed "Get out, perv. I need to change her bandages. Your just as bad as that dirty little monk. At least he has some sense of respect for woman." Inuyasha smiled evilly at Ayumi "Listen you little- Let me tell you I would never ever peep on her and those two spa scenes were not my fault I was only was going to help her BECAUSE she screamed. And do you ever stop yelling?" At that istant Inuyasha quickly turned around and growled "Not him!" Kouga came running up and running right over Inuyasha "I knew I shouldn't of let MY precious Kagome with you thats just asking to endanger her life. I hope you obviously are going to go seek revenge on the creature that did this to her. Oh wait your in love with that horrid thing. You don't care about Kagome. If you won't get revenge I will." Kagome scoffed at Kouga's "Inuyasha seeking revenge" thing. Inuyasha get up in Kagome face and asked "Whats so funny to you? You think I won't. Maybe I will." Kagome, Kouga, and Ayumi all started laughing. When Miroku, Sango and Shippo walked up and asked what was so funny. Kagome explained. The whole group, except Inuyasha were laughing really hard now. By this time Kagome had been rebandaged. Inuyasha sniffed the air and whimpered as a look of utter terror on his face. Miroku commented that he had never seen sheer terror on Inuyasha and that it must be something horrible beyond all meaning; big, ugly, stupid, and heartless. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha "Inuyasha what is it?" Inuyasha scooted backwards and trying to hide himself yelling "Hide me! She's coming!"
"Inuyasha, who is coming and did you say SHE?" Kagome asked. Miroku looked as if he was deep in thought "I think I have this figured out. Inuyasha seems scared and he said she. So, it must be his third girlfriend..." He nudged Inuyasha in the shoulder "...you lucky dog you. Three girls; Kikyo, Kagome, and this mystery of who we will meet soon. You know if she is cute I might steal her for myself." Kagome and Ayumi looked at him as if they were about to execute him. Inuyasha didn't notice those looks and still threatened "YOU BETTER NOT LAY ONE FINGER ON SHIUA OR I WILL KILL YOU, Miroku and I won't be the only one who will kill you. Sesshoumaru will torture you, then he will kill you. He's even more protective of her than me." Kagome gave a little yelp than a quick growl following. When Inuyasha turned around to hide in the tree behind him he saw Kagome and Ayumi both with their hands out as if to kill him. They started to walk towards him while Inuyasha walked backwards when all of the sudden heard a girl howl "I-NU-YA-SHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed and frantically looked for a hiding place. Suddenly a big gust of wind blew past them "Its a half-demon like the insolent puppy, but it's-it's-it's a girl." Kouga commented. The girl tackled Inuyasha, she laid there on top of him. Inuyasha tried to push her off, but she clung to his neck. Kagome screamed "I'm going home I hope you, Kikyo, and this girl are very happy together." Kagome walked towards the well. Ayumi screamed "Yes, I won !" As the two walked off Ayumi stuck her tongue out at Inuyasha. He called out "Kagome, I can explain I promise. She doesn't belong to me. Well, she does, but not in the way your thinking of. Hold it I CAN explain!!!!!!!" Ayumi helped Kagome down the well. Inuyasha turned his focus from the well to the face of this girl he yelled "Shiua, look what you have down now. Right when I get her to come back and apologize you come back." Shiua let go of his neck and sat up.
She settled herself crossed-legged on Inuyasha's stomach. The rest of Inuyasha's crew (Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kouga) all examined this girl. She had emerald green eyes, long red hair, not to mention both a tail and doggy ears. At this point in time Shiua's tail was wagging (excited to see Inuyasha I guess). Inuyasha looked at her evilly "Look you made Kagome leave because she got the wrong idea about us. What are doing here anyway. Got tired of being alone?" Shiua shook her head frantically and asked "Why would she get jealous? Does she LOVE you and you LOVE her? I wouldn't mind sharing my adorable big brother with her." Miroku asked himself with evil look "Sharing?" while he was asking himself that Sango asked Shiua "Brother?" Shiua shook her head happily and said "I was just visiting Sessie (Sessie=Sesshoumaru). My favoriter big brother when I saw his new girl. She looked just like that girl that jumped down that spooky well. And he has got this adorable little HUMAN girl following him. When I tried to dipose of her, he gave me this HUGE lecture on 'how I shouldn't hurt Rin in any way' it was horrid, but his girlfriend she's human, too. I have a feeling though she is no ordinary human. She has these soulgathers that she needs to move and live. AND plus she hates me and everytime Sessie mentions your name she says 'Don't worry the plan is going accordly, Kagome is dead and so will he'. Hey, Kagome is that girl that you mentioned, but she's not dead. Anyway she yells at me, heme heme heme heme." Shiua continued to ramble on. Inuyasha was finally putting what Kagome said and what Shiua said together. Miroku came up to Shiua who just stood there staring at her brother's thinking face Miroku introduced "I'm Miroku, a simple monk and if I may be so bold ....."
Shiua tried to shoo him away with her hand, but Miroku offered "If I may be so bold as if to help you up so Inuyasha's idea may finally hit his brain and the thinking process is over." Shiua faced him angerily, but when he grabbed her hand and kissed it she started to blush and her tail wagged slowly. At that instant of Shiua of getting up off Inuyasha. Everything had finally clicked inside him. And it was like a rocket that the moment he realized that Kagome wasn't lying about Kikyo plans. He raced towards the well and jumped in, but not realizing that Kouga had grabbed his arm while jumping in. Thus, being transported also.
When they reached the other side Inuyasha turned around and saw Kouga behind him. Kouga climbed out of the well. He looked around and called down to Inuyasha "Puppy, I believe we may traveled throught time. Is this the time my Kagome is from?"Inuyasha screamed up "Kouga, get your furry butt back down here I have to take you back. And yes genius this is Kagome's time." Kouga said to himself (a little to loud) "Ah good. Then I shall go and find my mate. It would sweep her off her feet to see me rescue you from this awful place. He ran into Kagome's mom sweeping the yard. Her mom tilted to the side and spotted his tail moving with the wind. Her mom quickly replied "Kagome is at school now, but will be home soon." Souta came home and saw this new character and then spotted his tail. So, he walked behind Kouga and pulled his tail really hard. Kouga jumped high up in the air and shouted in pain. Inuyasha stepped out of the shrine and stated "They did the same thing with my ears. It really does hurt. Listen Kouga I want you to stay here while I go and find Kagome." Kouga growled at him. Kagome's mom handed him a bag of ice to put on his tail. Back at Kagome's high school. Class was over and Kagome started to walk home with her friends. When she turned around to talk to them she bumped into 12th grade girl with long black hair tied up in a high ponytail and a preppy smirk to match. The girl raised her hand to slap Kagome. Kagome closed her eyes waiting for that hand to come crashing down on her face. And it did. When Kagome opened the girl said "Aw, your already getting a scar from my long pointy nails. Kinda like claws huh? Just from the fun of it maybe I should give you matching scars on the other side." Kagome looked her square in the eye and said "I've seen claws and if those aren't claws. Those are regulare nails." The girl raised her hand again, but on the other side this time." Kagome once again closed her eyes waiting for the hand to come down, but it didn't. All she heard was "Let go of me, you little freak." Kagome opened her eyes and saw..........
