Chapter 4 Puppy in the Future
Kilala descended slowly onto an almost empty clearing, the only thing visible apart from trees was an old looking well made from wood.
"Thanks Kilala." Kagome remarked getting off the two tailed cat, reaching into her large bag she pulled a small sealed bag. The demons eyes doubled in size as she watched the bag held in front of her. "Now remember Kilala when you get to the village use only a tenth, no more." The cat nodded before carefully taking hold of the bag before bolting out of the clearing, afraid the miko would change her mine. Kagome giggled as the cat demon disappeared into the trees. "It amazing what catnip does to that cat." Making her way to the well she pulled herself onto the rim, looking down an image of Inuyasha appeared at the bottom of the well.
"This is all your fault, yours and your stupid Kikyo!" Kagome let her anger get the best of her. It was always easier to get angry rather then admit that Inuyasha might be right about her being weak. She lifted herself off the rim and fell into the well, the blue magic surrounded her as she was transported back into the future. Her feet landed softly on the dirt floor of the well, looking up she saw the roof of the well house. 'home sweet home.' climbing the ladder she headed out towards the house, passing a couple last guest to the old shrine. She glanced at the god tree 'you just had to mention her didn't you.' A picture of Inuyasha passed through her mine along with the long not so dead miko kissing him. 'why couldn't she, Kagome, be the one Inuyasha wanted?'
"Mom I'm home." She was hit with fresh cool air, a complete contrast to the warm humid weather outside. AC was one of the things she missed the most well traveling in feudal Japan. The lights in the house were all turned on and a delicious aroma of food gave away her mother's location.
"Kagome honey your home early." Her mother appeared cleaning her hands on her apron, Kagome dropped her bag and headed strait to her mom hugging her tightly. Kagome's mom looked at the girl in her arms tenderly. "Kagome why don't you take a shower and change into something comfortable. Dinner will be ready when you're done."
"Okay, mom." Kagome dislodged herself from the hug and headed to her room. As soon as Kagome was out of sight Mrs. Higurashi headed to her bag and began to empty it's contents, separating everything into different piles. She pulled out several things such as dirty cloths, trash, as well as something fluffy?
Kagome took a quick shower letting all the dirt and sweat from the earlier battle just fall off her body and down the drain, getting out of the bathroom she put on her PJ's and headed downstairs. She followed the smell of food but when she got to the kitchen her mother was no where to be seen.
"AAAAAAWWWWWWWW HOW CUTE!" Kagome headed towards the living room where she caught sight of her mother snuggling something small and mostly white to her breast. Seeing her daughter come in Mrs. Higurashi held forward a swirly eyed puppy. "Isn't he the cutest thing in the world." Her face broke out into a blush as she realized that on top of Fluffy's head was a black satin bra well around his neck as if it were a collar was a pair of hot red panties.
"FLUFFY!" Taking a hold of the dazed puppy she removed her undergarments and threw them into the dirty clothes pile her mother had created. "Are you okay?"
'Look at all the little Jakens.' Sesshomaru gave a slurred bark towards Kagome before shaking off his dazed state. He had been stuck in Kagome's bag since she stuffed him in there after the battle earlier and had experienced enough abuse from pots and pans as well as everything else that the miko carried to have knocked him out about a dozen times before being rescued from the evil depths of the monstrous bag.
"How did you get here?" Kagome wondered as she stood following her mother into the kitchen.
"I found him in your bag sweetheart." Kagome sat at the table and watched as her mother began to serve dinner. "Did he come from the past?"
'The past?' Sesshomaru asked as he became aware of his surrounding for the first time.
"Yeah, I found him after a fight and since we couldn't find his mother we took him with us." Kagome remarked as she laid Sesshomaru on her lap. "He must have gotten into my bag and the well must have brought him with me."
"Well? Past?" He looked around him at the brightly lit room and noticed that not a single candle was lit, a fire was burning without wood (the stove), a black box glowed brightly showing moving pictures, another box had music coming from it. But the most amazing thing was the cool air around them in the middle of summer. Realization hit him as to why Kagome was so unique to any other human or demon that he had ever met. She was from the future, all his thoughts suddenly disappeared as he turned to a tall short haired raven women carrying a plate of food. His stomach gave a loud growl and he could do nothing but stare at the plate that Kagome's mother held in her hand.
"So why did you come home so early, honey?" It was an innocent question that had Kagome going tense. She wished she could say that she came home because she almost got killed, because she had fought with Inuyasha but the real reason was that he had mention her, Kikyo. Sesshomaru felt the miko tenseness but his attention could not be distracted from the plate full of food placed in front of Kagome.
'Kami what did this wench do to this Sesshomaru?' His desire for food was ridiculous to him, he went from eating once a year to three times a day with snacks in between and he enjoyed it. A warm smile was directed towards the miko from her mother and Kagome suddenly smiled her radiant smile Sesshomaru felt as if he had missed something but he didn't really care his attention too transfixed on the food.
"I placed some extra food on your plate so you can give some to Fluffy, since we don't have any dog food." Mrs. Higurashi remarked as she let her question drop.
"I'll bye some later." Kagome remarked, she looked down at the puppy on her lap and laughed. Fluffy was currently just sitting there his eyes wide and shining well his tail wagged from side to side expectantly staring at the food. Kagome took a small piece of food from her plate and held it in front of the puppy Sesshomaru instantly grabbed hold of the food and gobbled it up.
'Delicious!' Sesshomaru took more food from Kagome's hand but tried to be more careful so as to not bite her fingers, even though he knew his bite held no power it would still be rude to bite the hand that fed him.
"Hey mom! KAGOME!" A boy walked into the room, he appeared to be ten years with short black hair and the same chocolate brown eyes as Kagome. The boy shot strait to Kagome and hugged her tightly.
"Hey Souta!" Kagome hugged the boy back well ruffling his hair. Souta hugged Kagome tighter before he noticed the small white puppy with golden eyes.
"COOL, he looks like Inuyasha!" Souta exclaimed as he caught sight of Fluffy, Sesshomaru growled at the boy before being distracted by Kagome and food. "was it something I said?"
"It's probably because you mentioned Inuyasha, Fluffy doesn't seem to like him much." Souta 'Oh' and then sat down beside his sister. He began to eat the food that his mother placed in front of him.
"Oh, Kagome, Ayume called to say you have a test tomorrow." Sesshomaru growled angrily as Kagome's hand stopped several inches above his head, he jumped up trying to get to the food but it was too high up.
"Souta, In what subject is the test?" Kagome asked her eyes trained on the preteen.
"Math." Souta remarked in between bites. The food fell from her hand and Sesshomaru jumped up catching it between his teeth when he landed it was on cold hard wood, he looked around him but Kagome was no longer in sight.
"Thanks for dinner mom I'll be upstairs studying." Kagome remarked already shutting the door to her room.
"Poor Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi took the plate from where it was and placed it on the chair next to Sesshomaru, within seconds the food was gone leaving a very satisfied puppy. Once everyone finished their meal he was picked up and taken to a large comfortable piece of furniture and placed in front of a moving picture box. He stared at it transfixed watching show after show.
"The square root of pie ends with AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Once again Sesshomaru was woken by Kagome's scream. He looked towards the clock which showed the time being 2:30am. After being woken by Kagome so many times and noticing her constant glances at the thing she called a clock he had effectively figure out how to tell time by seconds, minutes and hours. Remembering the clock on the TV which had flashed 6 when he and Souta had started watching several TV show, as they called it, he could calculate that she had spent well over eight to nine hours if not more. And seeing as Kagome managed to wake him up every ten minutes, he found himself counting time to return to sleep hoping she would get whatever she was trying to teach herself. He glanced at Kagome who was currently slamming her head against the wooden surface of her desk. He really did want to be annoyed with her, he even tried but not even the fact that she kept waking him up made him become even slightly peeved with the girl. He knew exactly what it was like to spend whole nights on end doing paperwork and the fact she was a human deficient of sleep most likely added to her now frustrated state. He looked around the comfortable bed he had been laid on by her mother and noted the different objects around him. Notebooks, papers, books and pencils were scattered around, finally his eyes landed on a black bag of sort and he almost grimaced. Bags had become his most loathed items since that afternoon were he had been knocked out by her books and almost been chocked by something called a bra and panties, which he still had to figure what function they served. Another scream from Kagome made his hatred for bags diminish and he quickly crawled into the bag. He welcomed the muffled sounds and was soon fast asleep.
Kagome stared down at the book and then her friends notes another sigh escaped her. She was tired and still had plenty to cram into her brain, staring at the problems in front of her she realized she had two chapter and only an hour left. So looking down at the book she began to work again, as time passed she found the information was easier to understand finally finishing she closed her book with a smile. She leaned back and looked at the clock before sighing and heading to the bathroom. She needed to wake up and there was only one way to do so, a cold shower.
Mrs. Higurashi walked into her daughter's room fully intent on waking her but instead she found the bed still made except for everything scattered around the bed. She looked to the books and notebooks sprawled across the desk. She sighed as she looked around before hearing the shower begin to run.
"She pulled another all nighter." She gathered all the books and notebooks off the desk, then taking all the books from her daughters bed she started to put them into the bag, with a little difficulty she closed the bag before taking it with her and placing a brand new uniform on the bed, number one hundred and eight. She walked over to the shower door and knocked. "Kagome Honey, hurry up and get dressed. I have breakfast ready for you downstairs."
"Okay mom!" She stepped over her son's body who currently sat against the door asleep waiting for access to the bathroom before heading downstairs placing the bag in front of the door and walking into the kitchen where she set the table. It wasn't long before the whole family was downstairs eating breakfast.
"Bye mom thanks for breakfast!" Kagome was the first to go. "Can you go check on Fluffy for me I couldn't find him."
"Yes dear." Mrs Higurashi remarked.
"Bye mom!" Souta remarked also leaving.
"Bye sweetheart." There goes the second.
"I shall leave to prepare the morning rituals." There went the third child. After that she looked for the small puppy but found his presence lacking so leaving a plate of water and food she left for work.
Sesshomaru tried to get as comfortable as he could but seeing as he was surrounded by large hardcover textbooks and a pencil was sticking him in the butt it seemed an impossible task to accomlish.
'Just great this Sesshomau just had to sleep in the bag.' He remarked to himself as he tried to move only to find it futile. He had been stuck in the same position for hours and there was no end in sight.
"Kagome!" Three voices exclaimed, the bag moved and the items as the miko began to fidget in place. Kagome looked towards the three girls running her way, Eri, Yumi, and Ayume had caught sight of her and where headed her way.
"Hey Guys." Kagome remarked waiting to hear the new diseases that her grandfather had used.
"Are you okay to come back to school?" Ayume asked looking at the girl worriedly.
"How is your cronic hallowtosis?" Eri questioned concern lacing her voice. (for diseases scroll to end of page.)
"How is your Alveolar Echinococcosis?" Yumi added, Kagome looked at both Eri and Yumi and momentarily wondered how in the world they had managed to pronounce the large words when their grade point average almost matched her own.
"I'm fine now, really." Kagome remarked easing the concern of her friends well thinking of the best way to escape murder charges when she killed her grandfather.
"Hallowtosis?" Sesshomaru wondered as he reflected on the perfectly healthy looking miko except for a little lack of sleep the girl was in perfect health. He looked back at the girls before him it was easy to tell they didn't know of Kagome's travels to the past and attributed the girls absence to illness. Yet how they could believe the stories when they saw her in such hearty health was beyond him.
"Hey Kagome, how's that two timing boyfriend of your?" Eri asked. Sesshomaru's attention once again went to the conversation.
'two timing?' Sesshomaru wondered as he began to work his way out of his entrapment. (multitasking) He heard Kagome's sigh from within the bag.
"Inuyasha is not my boyfriend." Kagome remarked suddenly, 'No matter how much I want him to be.' "He's only a friend."
'Boyfriend?' Sesshomaru made it to the top of the books and pushed his head against the top of the bag the flapped fell open and the bright light from outside hit his eyes.
"Then give Hojo a chance." Yumi exclaimed towards her sickly friend.
"Yeah he's perfect boyfriend material." Eri added.
'Boyfriend must mean potential mate." Sesshomaru concluded as his head popped out of the bag.
"Pour guy has been after you since he meet you." Yumi stated.
'This Hojo obviously does not know when his affection is unwanted.' Sesshomaru thought, he looked around his surroundings and almost fell back into the bag. Every female around was wearing the exact cloths Kagome had and some even had adjusted the clothes to be as revealing as possible.
"I don't know guys." Kagome said truthfully, Hojo was nice and attentive but he was too nice, too eager, too boring. Maybe if he grew out his hair dyed it silver put on some golden contacts well gluing some cute white cat ears to his head and somehow manage to grow taller well obtaining some muscles, she might just rethink that, but other then that she couldn't think of him as anything but a friend and then she would be like Inuyasha. She would like Hojo for looking like her half demon crush.
(DS: If any of you think that Hojo does sound like the perfect boyfriend, your wrong! I give this to you from experience; I believe I have a relative of Hojo after me. The guys just too nice shudders
It's creepy!)
A loud bell rang across the yard and everyone began to suddenly move from where they stood towards the building.
"Oh no we're going to be late!" Kagome took off in a sprint never noticing how her bag suddenly became lighter nor that something small and white fell into the bushes.
(DS: For those of you wondering I do have a basic concept on how Japanese schools work but for the sake of my story I changed school to what I needed.)
It took Sesshomaru about one bell (1st period ends) to escape the bushes at the 2nd bell (2nd period begins.) he stepped out of the bushes to the empty campus it took him until the third bell (2nd period ends) to fine an open door and until the forth bell (3rd period begins) to reach that door without being trampled. Currently he was following Kagome's scent, which was just so happened to be a difficult task since there were so many scents that distinguishing Kagome from all the other stinky humans was time consuming, not to mention his now weaker nose was not as efficient as his demon senses. As he went threw the many hallways stopping at many doors where Kagome's scent would stop only for him to notice it going in a different direction, his head filled with so many question. Where was he? Why did Kagome come here? Why was every female dress like a whore? Why did he have to miss breakfast!? (DS: Can you tell which one he's most upset about?) He walked undisturbed for almost an hour that was until the fifth ball rang loudly. He dodged several feet before he was suddenly picked off the ground. He struggled against the hold that held him but it was fruitless and before he knew it he had locked on to a pair of bright blue eyes. He stared openly at the girl before him, she was tall, extremely thin and ORANGE. He wondered how in the world a human could turn orange. He looked at the hair which was a straw like blonde with lighter shades of the same color scattered going down in lines. (DS: Has anyone ever seen someone who did the tan in a bottle but got the shade horribly wrong well that's what I'm talking about. And if this was you PLEASE DON"T TAKE OFFENSE!)
"Your so cute." The girls voice came out a loud squeal as she slammed him into her bosom he became dizzy as the strong odor of perfume invaded his nose intoxicating him and making breathing almost impossible. Had she drenched herself in the concoction? "I'll call you Princess and dye you pink!" He flinched well becoming annoyed. This girl was not only annoying but if she assumed Sesshomaru would not kill himself the minute he turned pink she was crazy. The more he looked upon the girl the more he missed Kagome and her clean non perfumed scent. He especially missed her food. Before long he and the annoying orange girl were surrounded by several other females all whose reaction mirrored the irritating wench who held him.
"Awww so cute!"
"Adorable!"
"AWWW" His aggravation only grew as he was surrounded by more stinky humans with high pitch voices and similar looks.
"Her names Princess and she's mine." The orange girl remarked smugly showing him off.
"Can I hold her, Please?"
"Yeah me too!" He was passed from girl to girl all who yanked him from the others grasp. Finally he was passed to a large breasted girl who held him up into the air well making baby sounds. He finally had enough and began to struggle violently, the girl holding him dropped him and he fell face first onto her chest and then down her shirt. His struggling became more violent as he was trapped in her oversize boobs, the big breast began to instantly suffocate him. His struggling undid a strap and he was released, he fell threw the shirt and onto the ground but not before he caught a glance of a pink lacy material that had bonded the girls breast.
'So that is what a bra is.' Sesshomaru landed on the ground and instantly took off in a run. Looking behind him he saw as the orange girl led an army after him. He had to find Kagome and quickly before he changed color from white to pink.
'If this Sesshomaru survives this, he will hit Jaken one less time per day and let Rin place as many flowers in his hair as she wishes.'
Kagome walked out of her class with an arm full of books and papers, a large smile on her face. She had not only passed the test but she had just gotten an A minus. She was in such a good mood that not even all the makeup work she had to do could dispel her happy mood.
"Kagome!" Nope not even the brown haired boy running her way could end it.
"Hojo." She stopped walking not surprised that her friends were no where to be seen.
"Are your chikenpox gone?" He asked stopping in front of her.
"Um yeah got over them yesterday." Kagome lied again. 'Chikenpox?' a normal disease for a child to have. 'Granpa might be getting better.'
"Wow that was fast. I was sure that the Rabies would have made it a while before you recovered " Hojo remarked. 'Or not!'
"No it wasn't Rabies it was..." She was cut off as a shout came from the hallway followed by barking. "Was that a dog?" She turned in the direction of the shouting.
"DOG!" Kagome looked to where Hojo had stood only to fine that he was no longer there. Turning back she watched as HER dog skidded around the corner before running strait at her with about twenty girls behind him. Fluffy seemed to get a boost of speed and within a milliseconds was behind her leg growling at the herd of girls who suddenly came to a halt as they stood in front of the obstacle known as the sick girl.
"Higurashi give me back my Princess!" The orange skinned girl remarked as she stepped in front of the group.
"Princess?" Kagome asked as she looked behind her at to the puppy who gave a snarl at the orange girl well going as close to Kagome's leg as possible.
"Yes Princess!" The others agreed with her from behind, none though got too close fearing they might catch whatever Kagome might have this time.
'MY NAME IS NOT PRINCESS!' Sesshomaru's growl got louder at the third name he had been given.
"His name is not Princess, its Fluffy." Kagome stated as she lifted Sesshomaru off the ground.
'Yeah Fluffy!' Sesshomaru exclaimed, 'WAIT! NO!' He turned his glare to the miko and gave a disgruntled huff.
"HER NAME IS PRINCESS!" The girls exclaimed angrily. "As in a girl!"
"No it's Fluffy. As in a boy see?" Sesshomaru was held up by his front paws, exposed to the gaze of the group of girls. A loud gasp was heard as all eyes turned to his manhood. . .
Their eyes suddenly doubled in size and gain what could only be called hearts.
"FLUFFY!"
"LORD SESSHOMARU! LORD SESSHOMARU! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE? WHY HAVE YOU NOT RETURNED TO YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANT JAKEN!" A small toad demon stood before the edge of a cliff. "YOU ARE DEAD AREN'T YOU!?"
"Jaken you're so funny." A small girl with black hair pulled to the side wearing a checkered kimono remarked. She slapped the toad demon on the back effectively knocking him off the cliff.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Jaken's scream could be heard for miles, Rin looked over the edge at the falling toad before shaking her head.
"Ah Uh we better go get him before he gets into trouble." Rin remarked towards the two headed dragon, who nodded allowing the small child to clime his back.
"Stupid humans and there stupid sense of direction." Inuyasha continued to complain as he walked the humans back to Keade's village.
"Inuyasha it's not our fault Lady Kagome left and took Kilala with her." Miroku remarked.
"Yeah that was your own fault." Shippou remarked from Miroku's shoulder.
"Feh, it's all that mutts fault if only she had left him we wouldn't be in this situation." Inuyasha growled.
"Blaming an innocent puppy, that pathetic even for you Inuyasha." Sango remarked. Inuyasha's ears suddenly began to move.
"Did you hear that?" Inuyasha asked looking around.
"Hear what?" Miroku asked.
"AAAAAAAAAA" A low scream was heard echoing threw the trees.
"What was that?" Shippou questioned as the scream got louder, Inuyasha looked up as the sound got louder.
"Hey I think it's coming from..."
BONK
They all turned to stare where Inuyasha had once stood only to find him sprawled out on the ground swirls for eyes and an equally swirly Jaken on top of him. Both sported rather large bumps on their heads the size of boulders.
"JAKEN ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" They looked up to where Jaken had come from to see a small girl headed their way on the back of a two headed dragon.
"Hey isn't that the girl that travels with Sesshomaru?" Shippou asked.
"Yes I believe so." Sango remarked.
"Excuse me Young Lady you are welcome to join us until our friend regain consciousness." Miroku shouted from his spot on the ground.
"Okay!" Rin remarked certain she could trust them.
DS: MMMMHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I'm evil. No not really. I'm sorry about not updating but my boss decided that since I asked for some days off I would work my little tail off every weekend since she had to go threw three days working harder.
Diseases:
Hallowtosis- bad breath disease from too much protein and not enough vegetables(got from friend.)
Alveolar Echinococcosis- disease results from being infected with the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis, a microscopic tapeworm (1-4 millimeters) found in foxes, coyotes, dogs, and cats. Although human cases are rare, infection in humans causes parasitic tumors to form in the liver, and, less commonly, the lungs, brain, and other organs. If left untreated, infection with AE can be fatal. (got from Internet, if you understood that I admire you!)
Rabies- do I really have to add this one?
