Chapter Three- Kagome's Family
When they reached the hut, Kaede greeted them and gave Kagome a small hug. "It is good to see ye again, child." (a/n I hate how she talks! "Ye" is such a stupid word!)
"It's good to see you again too, Kaede. I've missed you a lot," Kagome replied.
"Okaa-san, will you tell us what happened now?" Shippou asked curiously.
"Sure. But you guys have to tell me what's been going on around here lately."
"Of course Kagome-chan. We wouldn't leave you in the dark. You know that," Sango said.
"Okay. Well, let's get on with the explanations so that I can go see my family too before I leave. They probably think I'm dead by now."
They all sat down with Inuyasha and Kuronue on either side of Kagome. Youko looked their way peculiarly, but didn't say anything.
"All right, the basics of what happened to me... Well, first I saw Inuyasha and Kikyou in the forest and ran off. Then Kuronue found me and offered me a place to stay," Kagome started. She was about to continue when Sango interrupted.
"You trusted him on first sight, Kagome-chan? Don't you think that's a little reckless?"
"I didn't sense anything wrong about him and he had already had plenty of chances to kill me. So I decided he was pretty safe."
"Oh, okay. Sorry for interrupting. Go on Kagome-chan."
"Well, I went with him and met Youko. They took care of me and trained me. So, in return I helped them on missions. My physical abilities continued to grow everyday, but my spiritual powers were the same. Midoriko visited me one night in a dream and started to train me. After she trained my miko powers, she taught me the ways of a monk and a taijiya in honor of Sango- chan and Miroku. I finally decided I'd come visit you guys, so here I am."
"You went through a lot, 'Kaa-san. You must be really strong," Shippou said.
"One thing is still bothering me Kagome-sama," Miroku started. "What was the promise that you made and broke?"
"Umm... You remembered that? Uh, well, when I first went to stay with Youko and Kuronue I had trouble sleeping without Shippou and Kirara. So, Kuronue said he'd stay with me for the first night. I promised it would only be for one night, but I could never get used to sleeping alone. I've made him stay with me for the past two years."
Inuyasha started to growl loudly and Kuronue growled back. Youko looked at Kuronue in shock. "Kuronue calm down. Don't let the halfbreed get to you."
Kuronue looked at him and stopped. He collected himself and glared at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha glared back and said, "Stay away from my Kagome. If you ever lay a hand on her again, I'll kill you."
Kuronue smirked and put a hand on Kagome's arm. Youko and Kagome rolled their eyes, but everyone else backed away. Inuyasha started to growl again and flexed his claws. Kagome started to worry and then said, "Calm down Inuyasha. He's trying to annoy you Inuyasha. Ignore him."
Inuyasha glanced at her and relaxed. "Feh."
She smiled and said, "Now you guys have to tell me what's been going on with you for the last two years."
Miroku told her all about how they had been having trouble finding any jewel shards and how Naraku now had almost the entire jewel. They only had two shards plus the ones that Kagome had around her neck. "He's getting harder to fight and with Sesshoumaru's constant visits, we have barely any time to recover."
"Sesshoumaru still hasn't given up?" They all shook their heads.
"I believe I should speak with him about this," Youko said. "If he doesn't stop this nonsense, he will soon die."
"Feh, why would that jackass listen to you?"
"The two of us are childhood friends. I have a better chance of talking to him than you."
"Thanks Youko. It should be a little easier to defeat Naraku without
Sesshoumaru attacking us," Kagome said.
Inuyasha spoke up, "Us?"
"Sure, you didn't think that I'd let you guys fight him alone, now did
you? I broke the jewel. It's my job to put it back together. I just
took a two
year break."
"Hold on a minute. You said that you were gonna come back to the
castle with us," Kuronue whined.
"Kuronue, I have a job to do. Everything depends on the future of the
jewel. I can't abandon my duty. I wish I could stay at the castle
forever,
but I can't. I have a life here to finish," Kagome replied.
Youko and Kuronue started to protest, and she grinned. "So you guys
don't want me to stay here because you would miss me too much, huh?"
"Of course we would miss you Kagome," Kuronue said seriously. "We've
grown quite fond of you. Nothing would be the same if you left."
She smiled and said, "I'll try to come back to the castle to visit
okay?"
"Why can't we stay with you? We can help," Kuronue whimpered.
"You can stay if you want. We'd be glad to have your help, especially
during the final battle," Sango said.
"Like hell they can! We don't need their help," Inuyasha objected.
In a singsong voice, Kagome said, "Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha flattened his ears as if trying to block out what he knew was
coming.
"Sit!"
Inuyasha was thrown to the ground with a loud thud that was followed
by a string of loud curses.
Shippou laughed and said, "It's been a while since we've got to see
that."
Kagome smiled and said, "If he keeps acting like that then you'll be
seeing him eat dirt quite often, Shippou-chan."
Inuyasha sat up and glared at Kagome halfheartedly. "Kagome, weren't
you gonna go see your family?"
"Yep. I'm going to leave in a minute." She heard a whimper and
looked over to find Youko and Kuronue looking over at her pleadingly.
"You two
want to come?" They nodded. "Okay. Just don't get into any fights."
She felt a tug on her pants and looked down to find Shippou looking
up at
her. "You too, huh?" She heard another whine and looked over at
Inuyasha. She nodded at him and turned to Sango and Miroku. "Do you
guys
want to come too?"
"That's alright Kagome-chan. We wouldn't want to burden your mother,"
Sango answered.
"Okay. We'll be back in a while. See you later." They all walked
out of the hut and towards the well. Inuyasha and Kagome jumped in
with
Shippou on Kagome's shoulder. Kuronue and Youko followed their
example.
The well emitted a bright light and they were all transported to
Kagome's era. They emerged from the well and walked towards the
house.
"Mom! I'm home!"
They heard three pairs of feet start running in their direction and
stop in front of them.
"Kagome!"
"Sis!"
"Kagome!"
Three very startled pairs of eyes searched hers for any signs of
deceit. They found none and raced forward to embrace her.
"We thought you were dead, sis," Souta said with tears streaming down
his face.
"I'm so sorry I didn't come back sooner. It took me two years to
finally face my fears and return to the village. I didn't realize
until recently that you
probably thought I was dead."
"It's alright, dear. We're just relieved to see you alive and well,"
Mrs. Higurashi said. Then she noticed all of the people that came
with her
daughter. "Who are your friends?"
"This is Kuronue, that's Youko, you already know Inuyasha, and this is
my kit Shippou," Kagome said indicating each as she said their name.
"Hello. It's nice to meet all of you," her mom replied. "Kagome, how
long will you be staying?"
"Umm... I was thinking around a month."
"Will your friends be staying?"
"If they want to." She noticed Youko eyeing a few vases and she said,
"Don't touch anything Youko." He stopped and looked at her. She gave
him
a stern look and he pouted.
Mrs. Higurashi noticed this and asked, "Is anything wrong?"
"No, mom. Youko's just a bit greedy is all," she replied. Youko
snorted at that and Kagome grinned. "So, how many of you guys will be
staying?"
"Youko and I are staying. I think we're both interested in quite a
few things here," Kuronue said glancing at some jewelry left on the
table.
"No stealing you two. This is my home and I will know if you steal
from it. Don't think I won't notice."
"Stealing? Why would they steal sis?"
"These are two of the most legendary thieves that have ever existed.
They are unable to contain themselves when they see something of
value," Kagome responded.
"Cool! So, can I touch his ears?" Souta asked, pointing to Youko.
"Or his wings?" He pointed to Kuronue.
"You can touch Kuronue's wings, but I'd leave Youko alone right now.
He's pouting."
"I am not. I do not pout. I have dignity, you know," Youko said.
"Uh huh. Well, I'm going to bed. Shippou are you staying with me?"
The kit nodded and hopped onto her shoulder. "Are you, Kuronue?" He
nodded and followed after her.
"Wait a second, where do you think you're taking him, Kagome?" her
mother asked.
Kagome turned and said, "We're going to bed mom." She then noticed
her mother's look and said, "It's okay mom. We've shared the same bed
for
The past two years. He's not going to try anything. Especially with
Shippou there."
"Okay, dear. But what about Inuyasha and Youko?"
Inuyasha said, "I'm not staying. It would be better if I stayed in
the village." He turned and walked out the door, closing it behind
him.
"Well, Youko can stay in the guest bedroom can't he?"
"No, someone's staying in there this week," her mother answered.
"Who?"
"Your cousin came for a visit. He was quite reluctant when he found
out that you were gone. We didn't tell him about how we thought you
were
dead. He thinks that you're staying at a friend's house for a week."
"Okay. So, where do you want to sleep Youko?" Kagome asked.
"I could stay with you," he said.
"That might work. But I think it might be a little crowded. Is that
okay with everyone?"
They all nodded and she chirped, "Well, let's get to bed!"
Everyone headed upstairs and were getting settled. Kagome was
sandwiched between Youko and Kuronue and Shippou was on her head.
"Uh,
guys? I don't think this is gonna work. I'm having trouble
breathing."
Youko stood up and said, "I have a solution." He was engulfed by a
bright white light and a few seconds later emerged as a fox. He was
about
the size of a dog and had five tails.
"Wow. I have got to pet you," Kagome said. Kuronue and Shippou
started laughing and she smiled. "Seriously. Come here please."
Youko
jumped into her lap and closed his eyes. Kagome started to pet him
and he growled softly. Shippou and Kuronue started to laugh again and
Youko glared at them.
Kuronue said, "He hasn't done that since he was a kit. He must trust
you more than we thought if he reacts this way to you petting him."
Kagome yawned and said, "Let's get to bed. I'm tired." She lied down
and Shippou and Youko moved to lay right beside her. Kuronue wrapped
his arms around her to keep her warm. They all gave another
yawn and fell asleep.
