Stray
Ch. 1 Sad Goodbye's And a New Dog!
"NO….Kagome look out!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome as Naraku sent
one of his tentacles through her stomach. Sango and Miroku stared in shock
trying to get rid of the horde of demons surrounding them. Sesshoumaru
was fighting along side Inuyasha against Kagura and kanna as they heard
Kagome cry out.
Crying out in pain she hit the forest floor dropping her weapon. "Kukukuku… Such a waste of someone so beautiful, you are blind Inuyasha." Naraku walked to her as she struggled in his grasp when more tentacles wrapped around her.
Gathering what strength she had left, Kagome picked up an arrow and stuck it in the tentacle in her stomach, purifying it into ashes. "Id never back down against you Naraku." At that said, Kagome's miko powers rose up to the surface. Putting a barrier around her friends and Sesshoumaru unknowingly, she stood up glowing a vibrant pink and blue.
Naraku stepped back a bit "What? Your not supposed to have that much power." Her eyes changed color from blue to red with blue slits as her hair grew longer with blue stripes in it. Surprising everyone her nails turned into claws and she barred her fangs at Naraku.
"How dare you. You try to kill my pup and friends including Lord Sesshoumaru and still try to use the Jewel Of Four Souls for your own selfish gain. I've had enough of you and your killing, Naraku this will be the end for you."
Launching forward with her claws slicing through his barrier in one sweep Kagome threw a blast of miko energy to Naraku while using a red whip and grabbing the Jewel shards he had. Naraku screamed as he turned into ash in seconds before their eyes.
After Kagome turned around the Jewel was whole and around her neck. She looked at her friends and collapsed. Landing on something soft she looked up. "Huh? Sesshoumaru what happened?" She slowly started changing back when she spoke looking around.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened for a moment before he hid it but not before Kagome saw. "What's wrong?" Shaking his head to get rid of a picture of her when that had happened.
"Naraku's dead thanks to you." The others gathered around her in Sesshoumaru's arms.
"Are you all right Kagome?" Sango asked a bit confused. While Miroku and Inuyasha nodded when Kirara curled up in Kagome's arms.
"I'm fine why do you ask? And… wait you said I killed him." Her eyes went wide "How did I… What?" Everyone exchanged looks and decided not to tell her.
Sango spoke up "You purified him when you got hit by the one tentacle in your stomach." Kagome didn't buy it one bit but nodded her head.
'I need to get up' Kagome tried to sit up. Sesshoumaru saw this and put a hand on her shoulder to help steady her. *she is a demon in hiding… she's very beautiful you know.* 'she doesn't even know what she is. I wonder if her parents are hiding anything. Hnm…' "Kagome where do you live?" She jumped when he spoke all of a sudden.
"Um…" 'Should I tell him?'*I'd say go ahead* Kagome took a deep breath, "I live 500 years in the future through the bone eaters well. It's the future of this time. Why do you ask?"
Thinking for a moment with the information that she said Sesshoumaru didn't say anything but walked in the direction of the well. The others followed a bit hesitant behind Kagome. When they reached the clearing of the well Kagome stopped as a person appeared before her. "Kagome you have but two minutes to say good bye to your friends, the well is closing and you have to go back to your time."
Her eyes widened "Midoriko! How?"
"Shush child you have to hurry"
"I don't want to go." Kagome had tears in her eyes looking at her friends. "Miroku take good care of Sango. Inuyasha don't give up on finding someone and I'm sorry I had to get rid of Kikyo. Shippo….I love you as my son." She cried even more looking at everyone then turned to Sesshoumaru walking up to him. "I'm sorry we couldn't get to know one another better and I'll miss you to." She stood up on her toes and kissed him on the lips as she started to disappear. "Take care of Shippo for me please Sesshoumaru."
"No don't go. Mother" Shippo tried to grab her hand. Sango hid her face full of tears in Miroku's shirt, while Inuyasha fell to his knees. And Kagome disappeared from the feudal era not to return again.
Kagome's Era:
Kagome landed one the ground by the well in her time. "NO…bring me back please..." frantic on finding a way to get back she jumped in the well only to sprain one of her ankles. "No please… please" she started punching the ground "I can't. I can't get through…" the realization hit her and she burst into sobs putting her face in her hands.
"Kagome you have to listen to me. Theirs a reason your back here." She sat up on the ground then looked at Midoriko for a moment to listen. Saying in a stern voice
"What's going to happen?" almost glairing at her. Midoriko wisely stepped back a bit from the girl. "I'm still in the jewel of four souls; I can only tell you that you need to talk to your mother and you need to stay strong. You will see some of your friends."
Then she disappeared. Staring with a blank look Kagome climbed out of the well having a bit of a hard time with her ankle. She walked to her house once out of sight of viewers. Silently walking up the stairs to her room she curled up in her bed and fell fast asleep with the jewel in her hands.
After a couple of weeks of Grandpa and Sota asking questions, and her mother avoiding her, Kagome had finally had it. The next morning at breakfast Kagome stood up "That's it." Startling her family Kagome looked at her mother. "Could I talk to you please?" she fidgeted in her seat and she stood up and walked into her room. Kagome followed behind and still stood when her mom asked her if she would take a seat.
Once the door was closed Kagome blurted out the whole story from what happened to Naraku, till now but also leaving the part about Sesshoumaru. "Why did my friends not tell me what they knew? Their hiding something I know it… but what?" she huffed and sat on a near by chair. Her mother sighed and put a hand on her daughters shoulder.
"I should of told you sooner. I'm sorry."
"Told me what mom?"
"First you have to promise me that you won't interrupt and that you'll stay till I'm done." Her daughter nodded. "It's about your father. He is a youkai that are now really rare."
"What kind of youkai was he?"
Her mother gave her a look that told her to wait. "He is from the Black Inu Clan. Meaning his true form is a black dog with some silver markings. He died in a battle that would have destroyed this town if it weren't for him. And theirs more I'm from the Silver Inu Clan." Kagome's mouth was wide open in shock. "As you all ready know what they look like I presume?"
"I know someone that's from the Silver Inu Clan, Theirs Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha."
"You know Sesshoumaru?"
"Yes I do I just haven't told you about him is all."
Her mother stared at her. "What do you know about him? Did he do anything to you?"
"Wow wow… Back up mom. You know him?"
"He is the head of Tashio Corp, with his brother as you know Inuyasha. I found that out not long ago. But Lord Sesshoumaru has been trying to take care of a war in China."
"Wow he's been here the whole time and I didn't know. I miss him." Her eyes were down cast and almost into tears, mumbling "I wonder if he kept his promise to take care of Shippo for me." Her mother had a hard time hearing what her daughter said.
"You like him don't you?"
Kagome nodded not noticing what her mother had said and was thinking of everyone of her friends in the Feudal era, and most of all Sesshoumaru with Shippo and what she did before she left. Thinking of them she started crying again. "Oh dear, Kagome its all right, Sesshoumaru should be back soon." Waiting for a while till she finally calmed down Kagome wiped her tears away.
"Mom I'm not mad at you or anything I just wish you could have told me earlier."
Her mother fidgeted "The reason I didn't tell you is because you have a spell on you that will disappear once you turn 20 and your youkai will appear again."
"Mom that's this month!" she started to panic "Oh no, it's in two days. What will I do? Is there other youkai around here?"
"Calm down honey we can think of some thing don't worry. I think there is though, that might be a problem since you're a girl." Her mother got up and started pacing as her sealing spell came off. Her mother's hair grew longer to the middle of her back and turned silver and her eye's turned from brown to green. With a huge tail that's got green strips on it her mother turned to face her getting a better look at her markings a blue moon with a star behind it glowed on her forehead as her nails turned into claws, deep forest green markings on her wrist's.
The next few weeks turned into three month's and. Kagome had finally finished the last week of school and a college course online and got a job at a pet shop not far from the shrine. She has been trying to get a hold of Inuyasha and his brother and having an even harder time keeping other youkai away from her and her family. "Kagome, its time to go home. You coming or what?" Kagome snapped out of her thinking and put up a couple of things and grabbed her purse.
"Coming Loukina…" hurrying out of the pet shop to meet her friend they walked down the street together.
"So what were you thinking about?"
"I'm still trying to get a hold of them."
Kagome had not seen any of her friends and was ignored by most of the students from school, only Loukina became her friend. A while after they were Kagome found out that she's a fox youkai surprising her and making her feeling a lot better since now she has a female companion and a good friend/co worker at the pet shop that they both got jobs at. Sighing again that day Kagome couldn't think of anything else to do. "I can help you get a hold of them you know, my father works at that place."
"What! You didn't tell me that."
"Oh sorry forgot"
"Hey would you like to come over and eat dinner tonight again? Please… Sota's going to drive me nuts." To emphasize what she meant Kagome pointed to where her tail would be.
"Hnm… Ok, ok Kagome as long as he won't play with mine though." Loukina chuckled when she saw Kagome panic for a sec before her answer.
Glaring at her for making her wait Kagome turned around the corner and started to walk up the shrine step's with Loukina right behind her. When they reach the top Kagome stopped abruptly looking around for the smell of blood that hit her nose. "Kagome look…" Loukina pointed to the sacred tree. Their stood an injured dog the size of a small horse. Kagome ran to the dog only to get almost bitten.
"It's ok I promise I'm not here to hurt you." The dog was a really dark midnight blue with huge gashes on his side and cuts all over, the blood covering most of his coat.
Covering her mouth as the dog was staring with its golden eyes at her. His fangs barred and the fur on his back was up. "Loukina what do you think happened to him? Can you help me with this?" Loukina stood right next to Kagome who was now on her knees in front of the dog that laid down once Kagome showed him her wrists meaning no harm. But when she reached out to him again he kept on staring at her as if he was ready to flee or attack at any second if she tried anything. Wanting to cry because of how hurt this dog was Kagome put her hands on his side letting some of her miko powers come to surface she concentrated on his wounds only to get the deep one's to heal almost all the way.
Feeling a bit dizzy Kagome reached to put her arm around his neck to pick him up, the dog growled at her barring his fangs again and stood up to back away. "Please let me help you?" Kagome looked at him more. "This is my friend Loukina and I trust her with my life so don't worry she wont hurt you either, I just need her help to get you inside the house. Please?" The dog looked confused before it walked towards the house only to fall on the ground again; feeling someone wrap their arms around him the dog looked and saw the girl again. Kagome picked him up slowly so as to not drop him or anything as she walked to the back door. 'Dang he's heavy.'
Loukina knew that scent but couldn't pin point it, she opened the back door for Kagome as they walked in Sota came running to them. The dog growled at Sota when he came in, struggling in the girls arms to get down only to reopen the wounds on his side's he whimpered and stayed still. "Sota keep quiet ok. I need to clean this dog up can you get me some vet wrap, gauze, and the other stuff and bring it to my room." Sota went into the other room to get the supplies. "Loukina, um… Can you help with the door I can't get it open." Walking up stairs to open the door before Kagome reached it Loukina got some towels and put them on the floor near the bed. Sota scrambled up the stairs with the supplies in hand and hurried to his sister's room.
Loukina and Kagome started working on his wounds while Sota watched and got some extra stuff if needed every now and then. When they finished cleaning all the wounds and got almost all the blood off his coat and wrapped up the worst of em the dog had fallen asleep half way on Kagome's lap. Whispering Loukina asked "What are we going to do? He needs food and you are going to get an apartment soon."
Kagome thought for a second while rubbing the dogs ear. "I could ask my mom if she could watch over him while I'm at work and I might as well get another job with the one I already have to be able to pay for it." He whimpered in her lap twitching every now and then. Causing the little blue moon on his ear to show as Kagome stared at him again. 'Why doe's this look familiar?...'
"I guess I should go then…?" Loukina looked at her friend and then the sleeping dog.
"You could stay the night if you want." They looked at the door to see Mrs. Higurashi standing by the door.
"Oh well maybe I could call and see if my dad wouldn't mind. Um… heh heh where was the phone again?" Mrs. Higurashi smiled at her motioning toward the kitchen. Running out of the room with a barely audible thanks and fetching the phone.
Dialing the number and waiting as it rang Loukina tapped her foot and leaned on the kiction counter.
Ring, Ring…
"Tashio Corp., Taris speaking"
"Hi father! It's Loukina."
"Oh. Hey Angel how are you?"
Loukina laughed at her nickname. "I'm doing good. Could you do me a favor for me? Well not exactly for me but for a friend."
"Hmm. Is it a guy?" he asked suspiciously.
"No." she rolled her eyes mentally at his antics.
"What's her name then, and what would you like me to do?"
"It's Kagome. Kagome Higurashi. Father it's that one friend of mine that knows."
"…"
"She's looking for a meeting with Lord Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. And its urgent.
"How badly?"
"Um. I guess you could say that she needs an appointment by the end of the week."
"You know that that is going to take a few days to get her one… well I guess I could pull a few strings. I'll work on it. Need anything else Angel?"
Loukina grinned he knew her to well. "Yeah! Can I spend the night a Kagome's today?"
"All right as long as you two stick together and not go out late at night. Sorry got to go Angel sweet dreams."
"Thanks again father! Night." and her father hung up.
Up Stairs during the phone call:
Mrs. Higurashi stared at her daughter as Loukina went downstairs. She had that look like a deer caught in head lights. "You know this might be a good idea. The dog, what's his name?" her daughter visibly relaxed
"Oh um... I don't know." she looked back at him. Her mother Akio walked up to them on the floor.
"How about Kouji? He used to be a great warrior back then." Their eyes met once and mother and daughter nodded in agreement.
Thus it's started the Stray chapters!
