Wicca Who?
Chapter 4
Naraku's Plot and the Full Moon
"Could this line be any slower?" Kagome complained as she stood outside with the gang, in a long line to get into the club. "Just chillax Kagome, see we're nearly there...almost." Rin said. Kagome snorted and rolled her eyes. "I'll chillax allright, it's almost below freeing AND I'm wearing a miniskirt!" She said as she shivered. It had finally stopped snowing enough for them to go anywhere. "A mighty cute one I might add." Sango said to her. "Thanks." Kagome smiled. "I don't know why you had to wear that anyway, why couldn't you wear jeans or something." Inuyasha said his hands in his pocket as he stood next to his brother and Miroku, he was kind of finding it hard not to stare at Kagome. "Cause, I wanted to, and besides it's been a while since I dressed up like this." Kagome said looking down at her outfit, suprised that it had turned out this good. "Don't worry about Yash, he just doesn't want any other guy looking at you-OW!" Miroku exclaimed receiving a slap in the back of his head from Inuyasha. "Feh." was all Inuyasha said.
Once they had made it past the velvet rope they were walking into the club the music bumbing and lights flashing. "Wow...this place is great." Kagome said as she looked around. "What?" Sango yelled at her over the music. "I said this place is great!" she yelled back at her. "Oh, let's go dance. This song is my favorite." Rin squealed grabbing Sango and Kagome by the wrist and dragging them out onto the dance floor. The guys found an empty table and sat down, dancing wasn't really their thing, at least it wasn't Sesshomaru's and Inuyasha's.
3 songs later Kagome came from the crowd, a light sheen of sweat on her face. "Whoa...how do they just keep going?" she asked breathlessly pointing over at the still dancing Rin and Sango as she sat. The boys shrugged not really knowing how they were able to dance for so long. 'Man, I need a drink.' Kagome thought as she looked around. She saw a waiter walk past with about 5 drink on a tray and she got a mischevios look on her face. "Do you guys want anything to drink?" she asked. Sesshomaru and Miroku shook their heads and Inuyasha nodded. "Ok, I'll get them." she said as she turned to find the waiter, when she finally did she pointed her finger at the tray and two drinks slowly began to float over to them.
"Are you crazy, what if someone saw you?" Inuyasha asked as his drink sat down in front of him. "Relax, no one saw me. I checked." Kagome said then took a sip of her drink as Sango and Rin came over to them, panting from the fast pace dancing. "C'mon guys, you have to at least dance one time." Sango said brushing a peice of hair out of her face, the song had changed to a slow one. "It would be my honor." Miroku said a perverted tone in his voice. "And no perverted stuff...I swear if you try anything I will barbecue you." she said looking at him, then she took his wrist and yanked him out onto the dancefloor. "Ok, but just this once." Sesshomaru said as she took Rin's hand and they dissappeared into the crowd.
Kagome and Inuyasha sat at the table an awkward silence between them. Kagome took another sip of her drink just to busy herself. 'I wonder if I should ask him...never know unless you try.' she thought as she took a deep breath. "Inuyasha." Kagome said looking at him. Kagome smiled when his eyes met hers, she just never got tired of gazing into them. "Um, you want to dance?" she asked a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks. Inuyasha smiled 'Funny...I should be the one asking.' he thought to himself, "Sure, but only this one time." he chuckled standing up and taking Kagome's hand. Sango looked over Miroku's shoulder to see Inuyasha leading Kagome to dance floor. 'Finally...' she thought to herself.
Inuyasha placed his hands around Kagome's waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. It was weird how she seemed to fit into his arms...perfectly. She sighed as she laid her head on his chest and they swayed to the music. "Kagome." Inuyasha said. "Hm?" she answered looking up at him. "You know, I'm kinda glad that Naraku attacked us that day in the alley." he smiled looking down at her. "Really? You almost died, if I hadn't of been there-" Kagome began. "Exactly, if he hadn't of tried to kill us then I never would've met you." he said. She smiled. "I guess your right about that." she said as she leaned her head back on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. "Kagome, would you go out with me?" he asked suddenly. "Really?" Kagome asked snapping her head back up her eyes bright. "That's what I just said isn't it?" he said. "Yes, I'd love to go out with you." she smiled happily resisting the urge to scream 'yes' from the rooftops. Then she leaned up and kissed him. 'I could get used to this.' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Whoo-hoo! Go Yash and Kagome!" came Miroku's voice. They broke apart, laughing as they heard a smack that could be heard over the music. "Well, it's about time." Miroku said to Sango in self defense making her laugh.
Then Kagome felt pressure in her head as she saw in her minds-eye the demon that Naraku was torturing. 'That hasn't happened in a while...what did the stupid demon do now to piss him off so much.' she thought as she put a hand to her head. "Kagome, are you ok? You look a little pale." Inuyasha said looking down at her, his brow furrowing in concern. "Yeah, I just-" Kagome paused as another wave of pressure cam over her. She felt like she was going to faint. "I'm sorry." she said an apologetic smile on her face as she passed out in Inuyasha's arm. "Kagome?" came Sango's voice as she had watched the whole thing. "I think we need to get her back home." Inuyasha said. Sango nodded and went to the others to tell them what happened. A few minutes later they were leaving the club, and unconcious Kagome being craddled in Inuyasha's arms.
"I thought she said she broke the connection!" Inuyasha exclaimed as Kagome laid on the couch in the sitting room. "Apparently she didn't. It says here that a connection can't be broken unless it's ready, or one of the people connected dies." Rin said reading from a book she had taken off a shelf in the store. "So what do we do? Just sit here until she wakes up?" Miroku said, they had never realized how kind of lost they were without Kagome, after all she was the one training them. "Wait...I think she's starting to wake up." Sango said sitting at the edge of the couch.
'What in the world happened?' Kagome thought as she moaned softly. Her head was pounding really bad. 'Oh yeah...the club. Then that stupid demon again...oh crap what if they found out!' Kagome thought as she out a hand to her head. She sat up and looked around. "I am so,so, so sorry about that." she said softly as she looked around at all their concerned faces (except Sesshomaru). "You better be sorry, cause you didn't even break the connection, you lied!" Rin said. "What if you could've died or something?" Inuyasha said. "Well you don't hav to worry about that, the demon's dead." Kagome said, not really lying that time. "Yeah right, how do we know you're not lying?" Miroku said.
Kagome rolled her eyes angrily, then swung her feet onto the side of the couch and stood, a little shakily. "Don't! I'm fine." Kagome said as Inuyasha had walked over to help her. She walked out of the room and into the kitchen using the wall for support as she went. 'I can't believe they don't believe me! And after all I've done for them...well I guess I can't blame them I did lie to them.' she thought. But the demon really did die, the reason she passed out was because of that. She filled a kettle full of water then slammed it down on the stove. It's not that she was angry at them, she was just angry at herself for lying in the first place, she should've just told the truth.
"I think we pissed her off." Sango said as she heard the slam. "Feh." was Inuyasha's reply as he sat down in a chair and crossed his arms, sulking. "Can you blame us? How do we know she's not lying again?" Rin said as she looked towards the kitchen a guilty expression on her face. "Wait...that truth spell." Sango said her eyes glinting. "No way! You heard Kagome." Miroku said not wanting to make anyone angry. "And besides, it'll just make her even more pissed." Inuyasha said although he wasn't against casting the spell, hell he's cast it himself but sadly, that would could probably cause them to break up and he did NOT want that. Sesshomaru said his godbyes to Rin later on and soon it was just them, again.
"What do you mean it didn't work! Do I have to kill you like I killed him?" Naraku said his eyes glittering red as he pointed over to the demons body laying on the floor. "No sire, it's just that the house is well protected. They're the most powerful protection spells I've seen in centuries." the demon said his voice trembling. 'Kagome thinks she can keep me away...she'g got another thing coming.' he thought as he began to pace back and forth of the demon kneeling in front of him. "Is there anyway you can penetrate through the barriers?" Naraku asked turning around, pinning his cold gaze on the demon.
"No sire." he said afraid to answer. But he had to deliver the bad news anyway, even if it meant his demise. Naraku let out a roar of anger and sent a fireball at the demon killing him. 'I have to get the jewel...but how?' he thought as he resumed his pacing, his anger making his eyes bleed red. "Kagura." Naraku said suddenly, he'd gotten an idea. The wind demon appeared in whirl of wind. "Yes my liege?" she asked kneeling down on one knee 'I can't believe I'm kneeling to this bastard.' she thought to herself. "I need you...to kill this boy here." he said waving his hand over the mirror in the wall. "He's Kagome's brother, since I can't hurt her now, I'll hurt her heart." he said, chuckling darkly. "As you wish." then Kagura was gone. 'And if she doesn't succeed, that'll just be another demon in my death book.' he thought as he sat down in his chair.
Kagome sighed as she placed 6 cups of tea on the tray and made it hover in front of her. She made her way back into the sitting room where everyone was still sitting and placed the tray on the table. "I'm sorry guys...it's just that I didn't want you guys to worry." she said as she picked up a cup of tea and walked over to Inuyasha, holding it out to him. "I promise to never lie again." she said looking at him. He took the cup and drank some, then smiled. "This is better than the last batch." he said. She knew she was forgiven although Inuyasha probably couldn't stay mad at her forever. With the tension broken in the room everyone grabbed a cup of tea. "Is all you ever drink is chamoille?" Miroku asked. "Not all of the time...just when I need to relax." she smiled then took a sip of her tea.
"So, the demon really is dead?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded, hoping they really believe her this time. "I think...he wasn't able to do something Naraku wanted him to." she said, drinking tea always made her think clearer. "Naraku's alwasy up to something, like trying to steal the jewel which he will never get." she added. "Where is this jewel anyways?" Rin asked. Kagome smiled, not going to answer correctly. "It's in a very safe place, hidden from anyone who wishes to use it for evil. A cool little barrier I placed around it." she said smiling. "So the only way to get the jewel is to be of pure heart?" Sesshomaru asked, impressed by this girls skill. "Yep, and I couldn't have done it without my moms help." Kagome said. "Where is she?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome's smile shrunk a bit but she was still happy. "She passed on when I was about 16." she said. "Aw man, I'm sorry Kags." Sango said. Kagome shook her head. "Don't be, she's just in another realm where I can't reach her." she said. "What about your dad?" Rin asked. "That, I have no idea. I never knew him." she said. There was a sound or china breaking. "That was my favorite china Miroku." Kagome said as she looked down at the shattered peices on the ground. "I'll get it." Miroku said bending down to pick up the glass peices but dropped them again with a hiss of pain. "Ow, I gut myself." he said looking at the cut on his finger. "Let me see." Kagome said walking over and taking his hand. "It's not that bad. But I can heal it if you-Miroku?" Kagome asked as Miroku had kind of shuttered when he took his hand. He opened his eyes, ears ringing again. "Preminition?" Sango asked. He nodded. "Do you have a brother?" he asked. "Yes, he lives with Grams." she smiled thinking about her grandma.
"Well, you might want to hurry up and defeat Naraku." he said. "Why? Is something going to happen to my brother?" Kagome said. "Unfortunately, yes. Some demon was after him, but I bet Naraku sent him after him out of spite." Miroku said. Kagome nodded, then tried to hide a yawn but failed. "Let's get some sleep and then tomorrow morning we can brainstorm on this little demon problem." Inuyasha said. 'Thank Gods.' Kagome thought to herself. "Well, I'm about to head off to sleep, so see you guys in the morning." Kagome said as she walked towards her room. 'Hm, I might take a shower first.' she thought as she went in and grabbed her bath things.
A few minutes later she sighed as she sinked into the comforably hot water, it soothed her aching muscles. 'We have to find a way to defeat Naraku, and fast.' Kagome thought as she played with the bubbles in the tub, she didn't want anyone getting hurt by that bastard. And plus he was really putting a damper on her social life, it's like she was a Hermit or something and never saw the light of day. A rush of cold air told her that the door was open. She turned and saw that it was Rin, (A/N: HA, you guys thought it was Inuyasha didn't you,LOL). "Sorry Kags, just need some toothpaste." she said as she opened the mirror and grabbed it. "Rin, do you think...nevermind." Kagome said forgetting the question. She wanted to ask if she thought she was somewhat of a prude. Never going out and having fun, no partying as much as she used to, no nothing! Except fighting demons all of the time. "What is it?" Rin asked turning to look at her. She decided to ask but wasn't going to say 'prude'. "Do I act a little... uptight?" Kagome asked. "A little?" Rin said as if she was going to begin ranting on about how uptight Kagome was. "Rin!" Kagome laughed spalshing her a little knowing she was joking. "No, of course not. You just have a lot on your plate right now with this Naraku demon." Rin said warmly to her. Kagome smiled, it was like Rin's aura had a healing quality to it but unfortunately Kagome couldn't read auras, only sense them. "Rin, have you ever thought of taking up healing, I bet you'd be great at it." she smiled. "Really. Oh that would be so cool if I could make my hands glow like yours." she said looking at her hand earning a laugh from Kagome. "I could show you some tricks if you like." Kagome said. "Really! Kagome you're the coolest witch I know. First your train two of us, then you offer to teach me more magic, it just keeps getting better." Rin chuckled making Kagome laugh even louder. "But thanks really for all you've done for us." she added. "Your welcome, now quit thanking me so much and get to bed. You have a lot to learn tomorrow. That is after we get rid of that demon." Kagome said. "Goodnight Kags." Rin said then left the bathroom.'I guess Rin is right, a whole chunk of my life has been taken away ever since Naraku came along.' Kagome thought as she began to bathe.
Kagome walked into her room in her blue pjs, her hair still wet from the bath. She hummed as she walked over to a small to a small table on the side of her room. On it sat a red candle, a vase full of red flowers, a white candle, and an incense. She sat down on the small cushion in front of it and sighed. She lit the candles and incense then closed her eyes and said:
Lady of the Moon
Lord of the Sun
Protect me and mine
Now day is done
Kagome always said this before going to bed. She sat there sitting quietly meditating or trying to, her brain was just running too fast for her to relax. She heard two soft raps on her door and she opened her eyes to see Inuyasha standing in the doorway. "You busy?" he asked. Kagome shook her head then snuffed out the candles (Blowing them out is considered disrespecting the Gods). "Just trying to meditate, but it's not going to well." Kagome said as she stood from the floor and sat on her bed. Kagome motion for him to come in, he was kind of making her a litte anxious by just standing there. He sat down beside her, "Are you sure the connection is broken?" he asked suddenly. "Absolutely, that's why I fainted." she said looking at him trying to tell him with her eyes that she was telling the truth. He nodded then chcukled, "You really scared me when you fainted, don't do that again." he said looking at her. She smiled, then looked up at his ears. She never really had time to notice them. 'I wanna touch 'em.' she thought as she reached up a hand and tweaked the soft appendage. She squealed loudly. "Oi woman!" Inuyasha said wincing at the volume of her voice. "Sorry Yash, but your ears are so cute. Oh I want a pair." she said as she began to rub his ear.
"No you dont." Inuyasha said. "And why not?" Kagome asked pstopping with the rubbing. "I didn't tell ya to stop yet." Inuyasha said making her chuckle. "Ok, ok. Don't get your boxers in a bunch." Kagome said as she returned to rubbing his ear. "Having these ears makes me an outcast, an abomination, the sign of the 'sin' my father and mother commited by having me." he said making quotaiton marked at the word 'sin.' Kagome paused with her rubbing realizing he was answering her question, then began when she started speaking. "I don't think it's a sin. And I think you are a very blessed person." Kagome said. "Oh really." Inuyasha snorted. "Really, after all you have 3 great friends and the most beautiful girlfriend in the world, me. Just joking about that last part." Kagome laughed. Inuyasha smiled, then reached up and grabbed her hand. "But is true Kagome, you are the most beautiful girl in the world." he said to her. Then leaned over and kissed her. Kagome felt herself melt when his lips met hers, warmth growing in her belly.
They broke apart for breath, Kagome's lips a bit swollen. "Wow..." she said softly making Inuyasha laugh. "Is that all you can say?" he asked teasing her. Kagome grabbed a pillow and hit him softly. "I can't help it that you keep kissing my brains out, what else am I supposed to say." she said a slight blush creeping on her cheeks. He grabbed the pillow from her and hit her with it. "How about a sentence instead of one word." he retorted. "That's it Mr. Bigshot, it's on." Kagome said grabbing another pillow and hitting him with it. Inuyasha laughed, making Kagome pause in her attack, then hit her with his pillow. "I never heard you laugh like that before, you should do it more often." Kagome said, then hit him again. They were laughing loudly and had forgotten what time it was before-"WOULD YOU TWO GIVE IT A REST ALREADY, SOME OF US ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!!" came Sango's sleepy, loud, and angry voice. "Sorry Sango." Kagome yelled.
After their pillow fight they lay on her bed trying to catch their breaths. "Inuyasha, do you think we'll ever defeat Naraku?" Kagome asked suddenly, thinking about her brother and the preminition Miroku had. "Of course we will, after all you have us now." Inuyasha said. "I know that, but how do you really know. I've been trying to defeat him for 3 years, it'll be 4 on...the full moon." Kagome said thinking about Kikyo's warning now. "Dammit." she whispered. Inuyasha's ears flicked at hearing the whisper. "Don't worry about it Kagome, we're going to defeat him. I haven't forgotten about the hole I had in my stomach from one of his goons." he added, making Kagome laugh. "Your right, Yash." she said. "Like always." Inuyasha said.
"Always? Remember 2 days ago when you tried to make a boiled potatoe and you nearly burnt the house down?" Kagome asked turning over to look at him. "It was Miroku's fault, he kept on distracting me." he said. "Right, Miroku's fault." Kagome said as if agreeing skeptically but teasing at the same. "And besides, since Sango was here nothing burned, right?" Inuyasha said thinking about the potatoe incident. Kagome laughed and tried to stiffle a yawn. "Well I guess I'll let you get to sleep now." Inuyasha said standing up. Kagome shook her head then waved her hand at the the door making it close. "Your in my clutches now Inuyasha." Kagome said putting on and evil voice but smiling as she put her arms around him. Inuyasha chuckled and hugged her back.
BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! "OW!" came Inuyasha's voice as the alarm clock went off. "Sorry about that..." Kagome mumbled as she reached a hand out from under the blankets searching for the alarm clock. "I got it." Inuyasha said as he grabbed the clock and chunked it against the wall making it shatter into peices. "Inuyasha!" Kagome excalimed sitting up, her hair looking like a rat's nest. Inuyasha held in a laugh. "And what's so funny?" Kagome asked grumpily as she threw the blankets back and stood up, looking at the remains of her alarm clock. "Nothing...it's just that you're cranky in the morning." Inuyasha said as he watched her pick up the peices of the alarm clock and throw them away. She caught her refeltcion in a mirror on the wall and snorted as she saw her hair. "That was mean Yash, laughing at my bed hair." Kagome said pouting, then she picked up a brush and ran it through her hair, when it was finally tamed she braided it into one big braid. "How's that look?" Kagome asked turning to look at Inuyasha. Inuyasha gave her two thumbs up. "Now, we need to get started on your hair." Kagome said jumping onto the bed, making Inuyasha bounce. "Oh no you don't, my hair is just fine." Inuyasha said going back under the covers. "C'mon Yash, I just want to brush your hair. That's all." Kagome said. Inuyasha pulled back the covers. "That's it. Only brushing." Inuyasha said, as he was very picky abotu who could touch his hair.
"Inuyasha!Kagome! Get your sleepy butts down here!" Miroku yelled upstair from the kitchen. Where Rin and Sango were cooking breakfast. "What do you think they did last night." he asked the girl with a perverted tone in his voice. Sango turned to him with a skillet in her hand. "Do you want this upside your head?" she asked him. He shook his head very fast. "Then quit being a perv." she snapped at him then placed it back on the stove. and began frying bacon. Rin laughed as she flipped some pancakes over.
"Race ya to the kitchen." Kagome said after she was done brushing his hair then she was gone. "Hey, no fair!" he yelled and all he recieved in answer was a laugh. He got out of bed and raced otu of the room. He caught up to Kagome in 6 second flat. "Ha! Got ya." he said as he swung her over his shoulders. Kagome laughed, she had alsmot forgotten what it felt like to have a boyfriend considering the last one she had was a demon sent by Naraku in disguise, and boy was that situation ugly. "What's for breakfast guys?" Kagome asked from Inuyasha's shoulder. "Bacon, pancakes, and if Miroku would quit being a perv and start cooking, we'd have some eggs too." Rin said as she placed one more pancake on the serving plate. "I'll fix the tea, let me down Inuyasha." Kagome said. "Nuh-uh." was all Inuyasha said. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said kicking her legs, making everyone laugh. "It's not funny, plus all the blood is starting to go to my head." she said as Inuyasha sat her down. Her face was a little red but other than that she was normal.
Soon the food was done and everyone was sitting at the table munching on bacon, eggs, and pancakes. "So, what are we going to do about this demon situation." Rin brought up, breaking the tranquil silence of the table. "Guess we'll just kill the demon and then that's that." Inuyasha said bluntly. "You just can't kill a demon, remember Naraku has minions." Miroku said. "Well then you think of something better." Inuyasha said. "We could always defeat Naraku, that's a good one." Sango said. "Kagome, can't you just get rid of the jewel then no one would be after it." Rin said through a mouthfull of bacon and eggs. "I wish I could but the only way to get rid of it is by making a pure hearted wish and so far every person that's been after it has been selfish or evil." Kagome said with a shrug. "But Kagome, your not selfish or evil, and you know where the jewel is." Inuyasha said. "I know but I don't know what to wish for, I don't have anything I want to change except for that I wish Naraku would just dissappear. And that would be considered a selfish wish I might add." Kagome said then took a sip from her tea. "Ok, but back to the Souta crisis, we have to get to him before the demon does." Rin said. Kagome sighed she didn't want anyone else involved in this battle, let alone her younger brother. "We'll just go over there, cast some spells to protect the house from evil and that should hold them for a while. At least until Naraku probably finds some evil sorcerer who break down the barriers." Kagome said. "Well now that that's settled, could someone give me some more bacon." Inuyasha said. Kagome snorted and shook her head smiling slightly. 'Always thinking abotu his stomach.' she thought as she grabbed the plate and handed it to him.
Soon they left the house and got into the car. "Any idea of where he was at in your vision?" Kagome asked as she drove. "Um, he was in a room. It had a lot of posters on the walls, and he was sitting in a circle of candles...I think he was chanting when his room was broken into and you know the rest." Miroku said as they pulled up to a red light. "Well, it's nice that he's finally got in touch with his wiccan side." she said as she thought it sounded a bit like casting a circle but less elaborate.
"We're here." Kagome said as they had drove a few miles out of the city and were now standing in front of a house in the middle of the country, holding Inuyasha's hand. The sun was high in the sky by the time they got there. "A little creepy don't ya think?" Miroku whispered to Sango who elbowed him in the ribs. "Kagome! Oh, I knew you'd be coming." came an elderly voice. "Hey Grams." Kagome letting go of Inuyasha's hand to run up and gave her grandma a hug. "Everyone, this is Grams. And Grams this is...everyone." Kagome smiled. "Well come in, come in." Grams smiled as they follwed Kagome inside the house.
The house was suprisingly bright and cozy, despite the outside appearance. "So how have you been? Haven't seen anything that looked like a demon or anything have you?" Kagome asked her. Grams shook her head. "Nope, but I was just about to cast a protection spell. I have a feeling something is going to happen today." her Grams said. Kagome nodded. "You're a witch too?" Rin asked looking suprised. "Yes, why do you ask?" Grams said. "Well...it's just suprising that you're still fighting demons and all." Rin said not trying to say that she thought she was old. Grams chuckled, "Thought I was too old to fight...don't worry it's that impression that always gives me the upper hands in a battle. Not that I do that as often as I used to." she smiled at Kagome. "You know, Kagome you have your Grams nose." Sango said noticing some similarities between Grams and Kagome. "I hate when people say-" Kagome began but paused after she heard the sound of glass breaking upstairs. "Souta." Kagome said as she began to ascend the stairs.
Kagome opened the door to see a woman with a feather in her hair, in his room trying to break through a barrier her brother had put around himself, but it was weak so it didn't hold for long. "Hey, ugly!" Kagome said getting the demons attention when he broke through it. It's head rose and looked at her. "Your death will be next." he snarled at her then he reached a hand down for her brother. "Stay away from him!" Kagome yelled waving her hands at the demon, she flew and hit the bedroom wall. "Sis!" Souta shouted, standing up and running for her. "Not so fast little one." the woman snarled and threw blades of wind at Kagome who flew back and hit the wall in the hallway. The demon got up and grabbed hold of the back of Souta's shirt, and then in a flash or winds, they were gone.
"No, no no,no,no." Kagome said as she sat up and saw that her little brother was gone, she placed a hand on the back of her head which was aching terribly. "Kagome, are you ok. I heard some bumps and...where's Souta." Grams said as she ascended the stairs and saw that her grandson's room was empty. "I'm sorry Grams...I couldn't stop him." Kagome said softly. Grams sighed then kneeled down in front of Kagome and tilted her chin up so she could see her eyes. "Don't be sorry, we'll get him back." Grams said. "But what if Naraku hurts him?" Kagome said as Grams helped her up. "Then we'll hurt him twice as much." Grams said in a dangerous voice. It still surprised Kagome how much fire was in her Grams spirit.
"Guys, the demon has Souta." Kagome said once they were downstairs. "Rin, I need you to orb me to him." she said. "Are you crazy! Do you know how many demons are probably waiting for you down there!" Inuyasha said. "I don't care, they have my brother, what do you expect me to do. Sit around and wait for them to kill him." she exclaimed. "Kagome, calm down. We have to think of a plan ok. Would Souta want you to do something risky like this without any kind of plan?" Sango asked her. Kagome groaned and sat down in a chair, her head in hands. "I can't believe I just sat there and watched that evil woman take my brother." she sighed softly. "Kags, it's not your fault." Inuyasha said putting an arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder.
"Oh, so your the one who's been popping up in my crystal ball. You better hold on to him Kagome, he's a keeper." Grams said as she walked around and grabbed a large book. Kagome blushed and sat up as she watched her Grams flip through the book. "Now, what did this demon look like?" she asked. "Um...she was tall. Had red eyes and had a feather in her hair. I think she was a wind demon of some sort." Kagome said remembering the wind that blew her against the wall. "Oh my...it doesn't say anything in here about a wind demon." Grams said as she flipped through the pages. "Ok, so we're up against something that isn't even in the Great Book of Demons, AND they have my brother. Great, just great." Kagome said.
"Don't worry Kags, we're gonna get your brother back. But in the meantime, I think we should head back and get started on some kind of spell or potion that'll kill this demon, or at least try to get to Naraku if we can." Rin said, she was just itching to kick some demon ass. "Oh, we'll get to Naraku. Trust me." Kagome said in a determined voice. She was tired of just sitting around waiting for him to come to her, she was going to take the innitiative this time.
"Sorry Grams, but I gotta go. I'll try to have Souta back by sunrise." Kagome getting up and giving her Grams a hug. "And it was nice meeing you guys, Inuyasha,Sango,Rin, and Miroku." Grams said winking at them. "How does she do that?" Miroku asked. "My third eye sees all, or at least as much of it as it can." she chuckled waving them out of the house. "Wow Kagome, your Grams is cool even if she was wearing purple." Rin said as they walked outside and hopped in the car. "You know, why do we drive, we could just have Rin orb us whereever we want to go?" Inuyasha asked as they pulled out of the driveway. "That doesn't mean I'll do i, who knows maybe I'll orb you off of a cliff or something." Rin said coldly to Inuyasha, making him laugh. "You sounded kinda like Sesshomaru when you said that." Kagome said smiling a small smile. "Thanks." Rin chirped happily, taking it as a complement. "And you think that's a good thing?" Inuyasha asked reciving a bop on the head from Rin. "Ow, watch it wench." Inuyasha retorted making everyone in the car laugh. "I don't see a single thing funny." he said crossing his arms. "Oh, we're laughing with you, not at you." Miroku said in a soothing voice that just further irritated the hanyou. "Ok guys, we should stop poking fun at Inuyasha. It's not nice." Kagome said chuckling a bit, and gave him a kiss on the cheek when they came to a red light.
4 days later (Full Moon)
"Ok guys, Rin is going to orb me down first-" Kagome began, they still haven't been able to get her brother back after all their hard work, but tonight was going to be diffrent, it was the battle that would end it all or she hoped it would. "No way. You could get killed." Inuyasha interuppted her. "I say we all go down there together, that way we have a better chance of surviving." Sango said. They had been trying to come up with a plan for hours now and they were getting no where. Soon they were all bickering and still getting no where. Kagome stood from her seat and stood on the table. She placed two finger in her lips and blew really loud. "Oi! DAMN, I hate when you do that." Inuyasha said putting his hands to his ears. "Sorry Yash, but you guys were arguing too loud to hear me." she said still standing on the table. "Now, Sango and Miroku I need you to go back there and make some vanquishing potions and DO NOT double the ingredients." she said to Miroku. They nodded and made their way back to the spell room. "Rin, could ya run down the street and get Seeshomaru and see if he could help. If he says no then tell him you're going that way he'll come anyway." Kagome said. Then her eyes and fell on Inuyasha. "And you, come with me." she said hopping down from the table. "What do you need me for?" he asked as he stood and followed her. They came to a door in the floor behind the couch of the sitting room. "I need your help." Kagome said as she opened the door and revealed a staircase.
Once they had descended the stairs they came to what seemed like a basement but was more of a storage room. "It's kinda creepy down here." Inuyasha said as he looked at old relics that were sitting on tables. "This is a ouija board, and it works better when male and female use it together." Kagome said picking up a box and blowing the dust off of it. "I've never used it before cause I've never had a guy to try it with." she said looking at him. "Ok, ok. So how do you use this thing?" Inuyasha said as he looked at it. Kagome took his hand and lead him back up the stairs.
"I don't know myself, but I have an idea." she said as she sat down. Inuyasha sat down beside had and she placed the board on their laps. "Now, just place your hand on the pointer, lightly." Kagome said placing her hands on the pointer next to Inuyasha's. "And I guess we ask a question." Kagome said. She took a deep breath and ask a simple question just to see if it would work. "Am I a girl?" she asked. Inuyasha looked at her like she was stupid. "Hey! I just want to ses if it works-it's moving!" Kagome said as it moved slowly over to the yes on the board. "This is distubring on so many levels." Inuyasha said. "Shh, don't make it angry." Kagome said nudging him as the pointer seemed to go in an irritated circle.
"Um let's see...how can we defeat Naraku?" she asked. "Quick, get a pin." Kagome said to Rin who was walking in the door with Seeshomaru. "H-E-A-R-T." Kagome spelled outloud so Rin could write it down. "Heart? What does that mean?" Inuyasha said. "H-I-D-D-E-N." Kagome spelled out. "Hidden?Heart...oh my gosh! How come I didn't see it sooner!" Kagome exclaimed to herself. "The only way to kill Naraku is if we kill his heart. And his heart is in hidding somewhere." Kagome said. "How do you come up with this stuff?" Sesshomaru asked arching an eyebrow. "I have lots of help, thank you uh...oh, can I know your name?" she asked down at the board. The pointer began to move around the letters K-I-K-Y-O, it spelled out. "That was the oracle that was in my dream, I guess she's going to be keeping a close eye on me." she mumbled to herself with a slight smile as she moved the pointer over to 'Goodbye', then closed the box."Ok, we got lots of work to do so lets get started." Kagome said feeling surer by the minute she knew teh secret to defeating Naraku and all she had to do was find Naraku's heart, destroy it, and live happily ever after right?
They all stood in Kagome's speel room about and hour and a half later. "Um, do you think this is such a good idea. I mean what if we get trapped down there or something?" Miroku said. "Quit being a wuss." Inuyasha said. "I'm not being a wuss, just being practical." he retorted. "Well I'm going to get my brother no matter what, stay here if you want to or not." Kagome said turning a around to face them. "Ok, everyone hold hands." Rin said grasping Kagome's hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "And do NOT let go." she said to Inuyasha who looked like he wanted to vomit when he had to hold hands with Sesshomaru. They dissappeared in balls of blue light and were then below ground, which looked like an opening to a cave. "Where in the hell are we?" Sango whispered as she looked around. "Oh quick, hide." Kagome said as 3 demons came into sight. They hid behind a gigantic boulder as they peeped over it cauciously.
"Yeah, I heard Kagura got the witches brother." Kagome heard one of the demons say. The other two demons cackled loudly, making Kagome's blood boil. "I wonder how long the little runt will last before Naraku kills him...I hope he lets us have the left overs." one demon said. Kagome paled a bit at hearing that, her blood was pounding in her ears as she was beginning to get angrier. 'I swear if they say one more thing about Souta, I'm getting out from behind this rock and kicking so demon ass!' she thought as she just wished they would just go ahead and leave but they seemed to want to take their time wherever they were going. "Or maybe he's auction him off to the highest bidder." the third laughed. 'That's it.' Kagome snapped her pupils dialtating until there was almost no brown showing. "You guys stay here, this'll only take a minute." she said in voice that ceased all arguing and questions. They nodded mutely as they watched Kagome walk out from behind the boulder.
Without any warning she waved her hands at the demons, making them fly and hit the wall of stone, pinning them there. "Where's my brother?" she snarled flames in her eyes, literally. "Like we'd tell you witch." the demon said, then spat in her face. She raised her hand and propelled it back at him getting him in the eye. "I'll ask you once more,nicely. Where.Is.My.Brother?" she said rage was beginning to make her voice tremble. The demons stayed silent. "Ok, guess we'll play the hard way." she said then she slowly began to make her hand slow close into a fist. The demons gagged putting hands to their necks to try free themselves but failing. "OK...ok...i'll tell you." one of the demons choked. "No you fool, what are you doing. Naraku's going to kill you." the demon in the middle snarled. "Shut up." Kagome said then turned to the demon who was willing to talk. The demon threw the other two demons a pleading look then sighed and looked at Kagome his eyes hardening. "He's with Naraku, the most well guarded part of his underground castle." the demon said. "And which way is that?" she asked them. The demon pointed to the left Kagome nodded then turned away from them and began to walk away."Hey,hey! You can't just leaved us here." one of the demons screamed. 'Oh, I can and I will.' Kagome thought as she went back to the boulder. "Ok, I know where my brother is and how to get there...now here is the trickiest part getting to him and getting my brother." she sighed once she was back there. "Go Kags, you showed those demons." Sango said apparasingly recieving a chuckle from Kagome. "Shh, someone's coming. Again." Sesshomaru said, silence instantly falling upon the group.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha whispered as he watched what looked like a cageful of humans being rolled past them and into one of the caves. "Souls, they sold their soul to a demon or made some kind of deal with them. Poor, poor souls." Kagome whispered to him as she shook her head. Once they had passed they checked the coast then began to make their way quickle and silently down one of the tunnels. "Man this is creepy." Miroku said as they walked. The vibes that were coming off of this place were crazy. If you didn't have a good phsychic defense it would make you physically sick, but luckily Kagome taught them well. "Look...I think this is-" Kagome began coming to a large door. "Hey!" came a roar and the sound of pounding footsteps. "Uh-oh guys, we got company. You guys know what to do right?" Kagome asked turning to face the demons that were coming at them. They nodded. Sango and Miroku and Rin grabbed some of the potions and threw them at the demons, instantly halfing the group.
Kagome ducked a fireball flying over her head and she flicked her hands at a demon making it burst into flames and disappearing. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled out a warning to her. A demon was coming at her from behind as she had killed the demon in front of her. She turned and gasped when a punch had got her in the chin and picked her up off of her feet. But she stopped herself before she hit the ground, floating in the air. "You're gonna pay for that." she growled wipping the blood from her chin as she floated to the ground. "Uh-oh." the demon seemed to mutter right before Kagome destroyed him.
"Ok, let's go before the other demons hear the ruckus." Kagome said wipping a sheen of sweat from her forhead then rushing the gang forward through the door. "Why hello Kagome, I was beginning to wonder what took you so long." came Naraku voice, making Kagome's stomach heave. "Give me my brother Naraku." Kagome said stepping forward. "And why would I do that? I've got your weakness right here and look...it's the full moon." he chuckled evily. Kagome looked over and saw her brother standing inside a barier of energy that the crystals were generating, that was trapping him. It zapped him everytime he touched it. She looked straight at her brother trying to somehow tell him telepathically that everything would be alright.
"Fine, if you won't give him to us we're taking him by force." Inuyasha snarled at him cracking his fingers. Everything about this demon pissed him off. His scent, his face, hell even the fact that the bastard was still breathing was making him angry. Naraku chuckled and stood from his chair walking over to the crystal barrier. "I might not kill you yet Souta, you'd make a great slave." he said as he walked around him. "You bastard, Kagome will get me out of here and when she does you'll be sorry." Souta yelled at him. "Enough of this bull shit!" Sango excalimed then through a fireball at Naraku, burning his back. His clothes burned away to show the mark of the spider on his back. "Insolent wench!" Naraku raged then tentacles flew out of no where and the battle was on.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were moving as fast as lightning cutting tentacles off, making deadly miasma fill the air. "Don't worry guys, I got it!" Kagome yelled as she put her hands together as if praying. Static began rising in the air, disppelling and purifying the miasma. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled charging for her. Naraku's tentacle was inches from pericing her..."Oof!" Kagome gasped as Inuyasha grabbed her and pushed her out of the way, knocking the air out of her. 'Oh no...Inuyasha...' she thought to herself. "Inu..Yasha." she said as she caught her breath. He wasn't moving. "Oh no...oh Gods please let him be-" she said rolling him over to see a large gaping hole in his stomach. But this one was different...it was surrounded by what looked like purple poison. She placed her hands over it and tried to heal him, it wasn't working. "Kagome get up, we're in the middle of a battle right now!" Rin said to her when she'd orbed over. "Rin...it's not working. Why can't I heal him?" she mumbled a tear running down her face.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled burning a tentacle that Naraku had threw their way. 'Oh shit...' she thought seeing Inuyasha's form on the ground, and he didn't not look good. "We'll have to figure that out later, but we have to defeat Naraku first." Rin said hurridly. The name seemed to spark something in Kagome. "Naraku..." she snarled standing up.
"Aw..is the little witch mad because I killed her boyfriend...how sad." Naraku said in a mock voice, then sent a tentacle at her. "No!" Rin yelled she wasn't going to able to block this one. But oddly the tentacle never reached Kagome...in fact it seemed to freeze in midair. "Naraku...you will pay." she said standing up walking closer towards him. Naraky tried to move but he couldn't, not even the chopped up tentacles. "What did you do to me?" he snarled at her. "It's not nice not being able to defend yourself, is it?" Kagome said steadily nearing him. "You...wench." he said. Kagome chuckled daangerously. "You know Naraku I used to hate you, but now...I pity you." she said tilting her head to the side. "I don't need your pity, you're regret the day you fucked with me." he snarled trying to move but not succeeding. "Don't you get it Naraku? It's over, I know how to kill you and you know what? You're about to pay for all the evil you've done." she said. He growled at her as she looked back at Inuyasha who were now surrounded by his friends. A tear rolled down her face and she turned back to Naraku, and he flenched. 'What is this...I can see my death in her eyes...NO! I won't die!' Naraku thought.
"Like I said, it's over." she whispered then began chanting:
Binding evil, evil bound
Destroy this demon without a sound
No longer should this demon exist
and he shall die from Death's kiss
Naraku began to scream and seemed to implode in a flash of silver light. "Is it...over?" Rin asked looking around the empty room. Kagome shook her head, "Not by a long shot, we still need to find his heart and destroy that too." Kagome said looking over at Inuyasha, who was looking very pale. She walked over and knelt down over him, brushing a peice of hair off of his face. "Rin, I need you to orb him and Miroku back to the house and you and Sango take care of them. You should find everything you need in the kitchen." Kagome said after kissing Inuyasha's brow for good luck. "What! They can't do that what if they need you." Miroku said holding his arm which was dripping with blood. Kagome shook her head and stood, "I'll be fine, and besided I'll be sick if anything else happened to you guys." Kagome said looking at them smiling, but it didn't really reach her eyes. "Kago-" Sango began. "I'll see you guys at home." Kagome said and turned and ran down the hallway trying to find Naraku's heart before he could regenerate itself. 'I have to find it...I have to!' she thought as Inuyasha pale face flashed before her eyes.
Miroku said in a chair in the kitchen with Rin placing her hands over his wounds, her hands glowing a golden color. "Thanks alot Rin, new trick you learn?" he asked looking at his arm which was cut open but now had healed flawlessly. "Yep, Kagome taught me." she said as Sango tilted Inuyasha's head back and amde him drink something, which made him start coughing. "What the hell...happened." Inuyasha couched out as he came to. "You were poisoned by Naraku, Kagome sent us back here to take care of you." Sango said making him be still as she motioned for Rin to come over. "I've never tried to heal a wound this big before." Rin said kind of shakily as she looked at Inuyasha's stomach. It should heal now that he drank the potion that expelled the poison out of his system. She placed her hands over the wound, them beginning to glow and the wound slowly but surely healing itself. "That feels a lot better...where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked looking around noticing she wasn't here.
The kitchen grew uncomfortably silent, "Maybe we should've left him passed out until later..." miroku whispered to Sango, recieving a nod from her. "Where is she!" he asked standing up looking at them. "Uh...she's still down there, looking for Naraku's heart. She sent us back." Sango said flinching when Inuyasha growled and punched the table, making a crack in it. "Rin, take me to her." Inuyasha said his eyes peircing hers. "Ok, hold on. Just let me regroup some of my energy first." she said sitting down and taking a deep breath.
'I think this is the room...yes I can sense it.' Kagome thought as she stood in front of a door. "Hey, witch! What are you doing down here!" came a demon's voice. Kagome turned looking at the demon, the pupils in her eyes enlarging with her power flare. "Ridding the world of monsters like you." she called out, the demon seemed to hesitate before he attacked. Kagome dodged it and waved her hand at the demon making him fly and hit the wall. The demon fired an energy ball at her wich she reflected back at him, destroying him. 'One down...a million more to go.' she thought as she again went towards the room. She stretched her hand out and just as she thought, she met a barrier. "That won't be here for long." she mumbled then focused her power into her hand, the barrier began to gorw unstable then it finally broke. "Yes!" she cheered.
"Hey!" came yells. Kagome turned and her heart almost dropped, it was many, many demons. But she knew she could handle them, at least long enough to destroy Naraku's heart. "Hey, came here to die?" Kagome asked nonchalantly crossing her arms as if standing in line at the grocery store. "Very funny, you're the only one who will be dying tonight, attack!" yelled what she thought was the leader and before she knew it she was battling many demons at once and oddly enough winning. "What the hell are you?" one demon asked when Kagome had him by the through. "Your worse nightmare." she said then she sent power to her hands making the demon explode in a burst of flames. "Ah!" Kagome yelled as she was clipped in the head by a demon's club. She flew high into the air in an arch and hit the ground with a sicking thud.
"C'mon hurry up, I can feel that Kagome's in trouble." Inuyasha said pacing in front of Rin. "Ok, ok come on everyone. Hold hands." Rin said standing up. Everyone held hands and soon they dissappeared in balls of blue light. "Oh gods!" Miroku exclaimed as they had orbed in just as Kagome was flying through the air. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran forward to her.
"What are you guys doing here!" Kagome said as she stood rubbing her head. Inuyasha looked over her, making sure she wasn't hurt anywhere else. "Why haven't you healed youself yet?" he asked. "Questions later, right now I got some demon ass to kick." she said motioning behind them, Inuyasha turned to see the mob of demons Kagome had been fighting. But before he could say anything she had ran back into battle, destroying demon after demon. "I found out where his heart is, these guys jyst got in the way." she said after Inuyasha had killed the last one. "See, I told you I knew she was in trouble." Inuyasha said to the others. "Not that it's a good thing you were." Sango said to her. Kagome laughed then turned and looked at the room where she took the barrier down from. "Is that where it is?" Miroku asked pointing to the room. Kagome nodded as she healed herself. "This should be the last demon I'll have to fight for a while, at least I hope so." Kagome said with a small smile to the others, looking forward to some kind of normal life that she could have being a witch. Inuyasha took her hand and smiled which made Kagome smile. "OK guys, lets get this over with." Miroku said stepping forward towards the door.
They opened it to step inside of a very dark room with a platform in the middle, and on that platform was what looked like a baby. "Is that...his heart?" Sango asked stepping forward towards it, then screamed when she was thrown back. "Yep, that's it...I didn't expect it to be that powerful." Kagome said as she helped Sango up. "That little gremlin is going down!" Sango said angrily as she made to rub her sore bottom, but someone beat her too it. "You perv! Can't you get your mind out of the gutter for one second, I mean we are destorying an all-powerful demon here." she said as she crossed her arms and turned her eyes back to the baby on the platform.
"Well...at least you know what you're dealing with." came a childish voice. "Did it just talk?" Inuyasha asked unnerved, a baby that sized wasn't even supposed to able to string two syllables together let alone a sentence. Kagome stepped forward, determination on her face. "Aw, but do we have to kill it? It looks so cute." Rin said standing on her toes to get a better look. "Hell yeah we have to kill it, it's Naraku's heart! The most evil part of him." Kagome exclaimed looking at Rin like she was insane, "It was just a thought...ya know maybe we could raise it to be good." she retorted a cheeks pinking a bit. The baby laughed, "You think I would want to be good, that's what you call being weak." came the cold voice of the baby again. "That's it you little-" Inuyasha said sending and energy ball at the baby, but it bounced back as if reflected off of something and Kagome pushed him out of the way just in time.
"That little fucker is sneaky." Inuyasha said helping Inuyasha up. "Not only that, like I said earlier, he's part of Naraky we have to destroy him and fast." Kagome said. "You guys remember that chant I said earlier?" she asked. They all nodded. "Maybe if we say it, it'll work on this waste of space right here." Kagome said pointing to the demon baby. "But we're not witches." Miroku said. "AND? You obviously have some magic within you since you're living with me, now come on." Kagome said squaring her shoulders and looking at the baby.
Binding evil, evil bound
Destroy this demon without a sound
no longer shall he exist
and he shall die from Death's kiss
They said, their voices ringing through the cavern like room. The baby let out a cry that sounded like some monster that was dying and then in a flash of white light he vanished, destroyed forever. "Maybe I should've tried that in the first place, we only had to say it once." Kagome smiled feeling the evil that was weighing down on this place dissappear. "Ok, maybe we should go get Souta and leave now before any demons realize their 'great' Naraku has been vanquished." Rin said making quotation marks at the word great. "Good idea." Kagome said as they all held hands and orbed to get Souta, then they were back in the peaceful Occult Shop called Akasha (Name of Kagome's shop)
"It feels good to finally have that demon gone." Kagome said 15 minuted later she was serving everyone a cup of tea. 'I can't believe that after 4 years of fighting he's gone...but what to with the jewel. I guess I should destroy, nothing like that should ever exist in the world.' she thought to herself as she poured Inuyasha a cup. "Um Kagome, I think my glass is full enough." Inuyasha said pulling her out of her thoughts. "Huh-oh I am so sorry!" Kagome said as she was so lost in thought that she had over-filled Inuyasha's cup and tea was running off fo the sides now. "Feh." was all Inuyasha reply as he shook the tea of his hands. "I said i was sorry!" Kagome excalimed. "Ok ok, no need to bite my head off about it!" Inuyasha retored. "That's it, I'm getting the beads." Kagome said sitting the teapot down and heading towards the spell room. "No Kags!" Inuyasha yelled as he stood and grabbed her and threw her over his shoulders. "Stop it Inuyasha." Kagome said but you could tell she wasn't angry. "Nu-uh. I am not about to be 'sat' or whatever ya call it into oblivion." he said as he began to walk upstairs. "Where are we going?" she asked combing her fingers through his hair as she hung kinda upside down. "You...are going to go get some rest. After all 30 minutes ago we did destroy the 'embodiement' of all evil." Inuyasha said making Kagome laugh. "I guess you're right, but on one condintion." Kagome said as Inuyasha sat her down on the bed. "What?" he asked. "You have to stay with me...forever." she said looking at him.
Inuyasha smiled and cupped her face. "There's no place I'd rather be." he said then kissed her. Kagome felt her breath being taken away, as usual, when Inuyasha kissed her. "But when I mean forever...I mean I don't ever want to lose you. I thought you had...you know, died when I told Rin to orb you back here." Kagome said as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her. "But you didn't. And you won't, I promise Kagome. I will never leave you." he said and kissed her forhead. Then an idea struck him..."Hey Kags, lets get married." he said seriously. "Now?" Kagome asked startled at the question...well it wasn't exactly how she pictured it but she didn't care. She loved Inuyasha...with all her heart. "Well not now but, whenever you're ready." he said. "Ok, but I don't want a wedding. I want a handfasting." she smiled leaning back into Inuyasha's chest, his heartbeat soothing her. "And what the hell is that?Ow! Well I was just asking." Inuyasha said when Kagome pinched him for the rudeness. "For your info, a handfasting is wiccan ritual that marks the union of two people in marraige." Kagome said as she laced her fingers through Inuyasha's. "That doesn't sound too bad, as long as I don't have to wear a tux." he said setting his chin on Kagome's head. "You don't always have to, we could always go skyclad." she said. "Skyclad?" Inuyasha said. "Do you want me to tell you or show you...just kidding! Skyclad means naked,nude, no clothes on...you know, things like that." Kagome laughed. "Ohhhh, we could always do that. I'm not complaining." Inuyasha said making Kagome laugh even harder.
A comfortable silence fell between them as they sat, enjoying eachothers company. "Kagome." Inuyasha said. "Huh?" she said as she traced patterns on the back of Inuyasha's hand. "I love you." he said. "I love you too." she smiled then kissed him...for a very,very,very, long time. When they broke apart Kagome's cheeks were pink from the loss of oxygen. "Wow..." Inuyasha said. "Is that all you can say?" Kagome asked teasingly then broke into laughter as Inuyasha began tickling her. "Ok...I can't breathe...stop, stop!" Kagome said in between laughs as Inuyasha tickled her sides and stomach. "Shut up you two, we're trying to watch Scarred down here!" came Sango's voice. "Oh scarred is on!" Kagome said sitting up and blowing a peice of hair out of her face. "How do you watch that?" Inuyasha asked thinking about how blood-curdling those humans screams was everytime they broke something, although it was funny in a twisted weird sort of way.
"Aw, is the baby too scared to go downstairs? Don't worry I'll cover your eyes when they show the fall." Kagome laughed as she sat on top of Inuyasha. "No...I just think it's gross,that's all." Inuyasha said smiling at Kagome. "You're a wuss." Kagome said in a sing-song voice then squealed when Inuyasha had flipped them over and now she was on bottom. "Oh really?" he asked his nose touching hers. "Really." Kagome whispered to him then leaned up in kissed him. When she felt him relax she flipped him back over and held his hands over his head, she lowered her head to where their noses touched, "I win.Ha!" she said then gave him a peck on the lips. "Girls rule, boys drool." she sang as left the room, Inuyasha following her an amused look on his face as they walked towards the sitting room.
The phone rang and "I got it!" Kagome said then went to the kitchen and answered it. "Mooshi,mooshi." she chirped happily. "Hey kido, how are you holding up?" Kagome smiled when she heard it was her little brother calling from Grams house. "Grams said that she better get invited to the handfasting." Souta smiled. "How did she find out so fast, we just talked about it like 15 minutes ago." Kagome exclaimed. "Well you know Grams third eye, it always keeps her up to date on us.OW-Grams, I hate it when you do that!" he said. Kagome laughed as Souta told her about what had happened when Rin had orbed him back to his bedroom and Gram found him and all the things like that. "Um Souta, can I speak to Grams real fast?" Kagome asked, she wanted to ask her something...personal, at least it was until she could figure it out. "Ok hold on..." Souta said.
"Oh, my grandaughter is going to get married, I knew he was a keeper!" came Grams squeals through the phone. Kagome pulled the phone away from her ear until she was sure her grandma was done. "Grams, would you like to conduct the handfasting?" Kagome asked then had to put the phone down her Grams squeals and cheers were so loud. "Hey Kags, what's going on did something happen?" Sango asked she could hear screams from the phone but couldn't make out what they were saying. "Yea..sure. Grams!" Kagome said after she reassured Sango. "I don't want everyone to find out yet and besides, I want it to be on the Spring Equinox not the Autum." Kagome said as her Grams rattled of dates and places. "Oh and, do you think mom would be able to come?" Kagome asked softly, she had tried to summon her before but she just wouldn't come to her.she never would, her Great-Grandmother told her it wasn't time which had came instead when she tried to summon her mom, now Kagome was wondering if this would be the right time. "I don't know Kags, it's up to your mother." Grams said, Kagome had been a wreck when her mother was killed, by a demon none-the-less. Kagome sighed, "Ok, well I'll probably be over tomorrow to check on things over there, after all you can never be too careful nowadays." Kagome said. After they had finished saying their goodbyes Kagome hung up the phone and sighed. 'Mom...I miss you.' she thought to herself as she bit her thumb nail.
"What's wrong sunshine?" came an unfamilliar voice. She turned to see a demon, he had blue eyes and long black hair pulled back into a ponytail standing in the doorway to the alley. "Who are and what do you want?" Kagome asked looking at him suspicously. "My name is Kouga...and I want the skikon jewel. But I'll gladly take you instead." he said stepping forward. Kagome waved her hand at him and threw him out of her house and out into the alley, "In your dreams and for your info, I already have a fiacne and he's twice the man-er, I mean demon you'll ever be. So have a good day-oh, and you're NOT getting the skikon jewel." she said in a deadly voice then she pointed at the door angrily making it slam shut. "Guys! We have a demon problem!" Kagome yelled towards the sitting room as she neared it. "What, Naraku's back again?" Sango asked in a disbelieveable voice. "No, he's dead trust me. We have a new one, 'Kouga' or something like that." Kagome said. "Kouga!" Sango and Inuyasha exclaimed. "Why the nerve of that mangy wolf, did he hurt you?" Inuyasha sked fire in his eyes. "Calm down, and now he didn't. I threw him out, literally before he could try anything. So what do we do?" Kagome asked crossing her arms. "First, we put crystals on every entrance in this shouse, even the air vents." Sango said using her knew word for the shop/house. 'It kinda has a ring to it...' Sango thought happily. "Shouse?" Miroku said. "House and shop put together,duh?" Rin said as if it was obvious. "Ooohhh." Inuyahsa and Miroku said. "You mean you couldn't tell?"Sango asked. "Hello! Can we focus on the demon situation here." Kagome said.
"Chillax Kags, he can't be stronger than Naraku." Inuyasha said. "And how do you know that?" Kagome asked skeptically. "Because Inuyasha and Kouga know eachother...and by know I mean hate, and by hate I mean Inuyasha kicked his ass." Sango said. "Finally, I get some credit for something." Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Now...let's get those crystals." Kagome said and they began putting all the crystals into place. "We should be safe for the night, let's get some sleep and worry about this Kouga person in the morning." Miroku said recieving a nod from all the others. After all they had just got done battling Naraku and needed their stregnth, who knows what was in store for tomorrow.
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been very busy with my career and such (modeling) and am trying to jumpstart my second one (singing) and it isn't going to well. I just can't seem to hold a spot in the studio but moving on, there is A LOT more in store for this story so don't think it's over yet...cause it;s far from it!
Oh, and I'm switching internet connections so I won;t be able to update this for about 3 days, but I will be writing for 3 days so you'll have a pretty lenghty chapter next time!
