Hi people! I'm sorry, but I won't update really regularly, I'll do it when I can. Never fear, even if I'm gone for a while, I'll come back and finish the story eventually. I hate leaving things undone. Just so you know. Now on with the story!
Disclaimer: Sadly, Takahashi-sama got to them before me. I don't own them.sigh
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
After heading back to the village and informing her friends that she'd be going home (with many 'Osuwari's in InuYasha's direction) everyone's favorite angel made her way to the decrepit old well that served as a portal between times. With reassurances that she would indeed return to a teary eyed Shippou (who was afraid that he'd never see his surrogate mother again), Kagome leapt into the well.
Once on the other side, after being pounced upon by an overly hyper little boy, meowed at by an obese cat, smiled at by her mother, and having 'sacrificial sake' dumped on her head by her jii-chan, Kagome was finally able to talk to her family.
"Kaa-chan, I'm going to be staying in the past. I'll try to come home sometimes, but I may not be able to…" The angel trailed off nervously.
"Whatever will make you happy, Kagome." Her mother said "I trust your judgment. But could you please explain why you have wings, violet eyes, very long hair, and a beautiful kimono?"
"Oh!" the violet eyed girl exclaimed, embarrassed that she forgot about her changes in appearance
"Sorry, mom, I'm a Chaos Angel; God put us in the consciousnesses of powerful Mikos. We are the protectors of the human race, we are past incarnations of our hosts, I am Kagome's great-great-great-great-great-great"
"Ok, we get the idea." Kagome's mother interjected kindly.
"Sorry…" Kagome mumbled certain that her blush would soon become a permanent fixture on her face.
"What kinds of cool powers do you have, Sis?" piped up her video game crazed otouto. Kagome smirked evilly.
"Well, for starters I can do…This!!"
She then ran over to her brother faster than the human eye could see, picked him up, dashed out the front door, and took off soaring into the sky on her beautiful wings. A shrill girlish shriek was heard all throughout the city.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Kagome roared with laughter. "Relax Souta! I won't drop you! Have fun! It's not everyday you get to fly!" Still giggling, the angel did some loop-the-loops just to mess with her brother.
"B-b-but w-won't s-someone s-see us?!" The terrified boy asked, stuttering in horror.
"No silly!" His nee-chan answered. "I put up a concealment spell! No one can see us!"
Slightly less anxious now that no newspaper tomorrow would have the headline: "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a girl with wings, and a boy screaming like a banshee!" Souta started to relax. After setting her otouto down on the top of a building, Kagome retracted her wings, and sat gracefully on the rooftop.
"Wow, one-chan, you're all…graceful…and stuff…" The angel rolled her eyes.
"How eloquently put, little brother." But then she smiled "But, Thanks." The tenchi then ruffled her brother's hair. Kagome then raised her now much more sensitive nose (She nearly passed out when she first crossed back over through the well, all those smells…those sounds!) and delicately sniffed the air.
"Wanna see what else I can do, Souta?" The violet-eyed girl asked. "Sure!" her otouto replied enthusiastically, anxious to see some of her cool new powers.
"Stand behind me." Kagome said "And try to be as inconspicuous as possible." Slightly confused as to why he had to be quiet and out of sight, Souta merely nodded. Just then, several blurs converged on them. 'Humans?' Souta thought. 'Why do I have to hide from regular people?' Then the three mutated into grotesque vulture-like creatures with greasy black feathers and pointy, bloody beaks that were curved to form malicious points.
The leader than squawked "I smell a powerful being! Show me your true form, girl!" Our heroine then answered with screeches of her own: "I don't need to be in my true form to beat you weaklings! Leave now or I'll be forced to kill you!" Scoffing, the hagetaka youkai merely replied "Then it will surely be your death you foolish girl!"
Whistling at a very high pitch (which left all the dogs in the city barking furiously) Kagome called her pet to her. Coming happily, hoping to aid his mistress, Sei landed gently on Kagome's outstretched arm. ((AN-I forgot to mention it, but Sei is maybe 7in. Tall not including his tail, and is 2in across. His wingspan is about 12 in; his tail is about 4in long, somewhere around there, just to give you a rough estimate.)) Scratching his head, Kagome twittered to Sei: "Sei-chan, will you help me? I need to protect my brother, so could you take care of these goons for me, please?"
The little bird rubbed his head affectionately against his mistress' hand and chirped back "Of course, mistress! I love you, I'll help in any way I can! Leave these ugly excuses for birds to me!" Kagome just smiled and nodded as Sei jumped up and flew towards the bloody beasts. When he got within two feet of the scavengers, Sei let out a shriek that made the vultures go insane and jump off the skyscraper to their deaths. Flying back to Kagome, his head held high, she said: "Very good job, Sei-chan! I see you've been practicing!" The kotori puffed up proudly and chirped his reply "Mochiron! You asked me to practice my abilities, after all!"
During all of this, Souta was quite shocked. 'There are youkai in Tokyo?! My sister is chirping!! A bird just made some vulture-youkai jump off a building?! Oh my god, I'm going insane…'
"Kami-sama…" Remembering her otouto's presence, Kagome had Sei hop onto her shoulder, picked her little brother up, and flew back to the shrine.
"Gomen, Souta, I didn't think that the youkai would be stupid enough to attack me here, I'll show you some of the stuff I can do later, ok?" The angel said apologetically. Shaking his head and dispelling the confusing train of thought that was previously there, the boy said "Iie, nee-chan, its ok, but I'd love to see your cool moves!" Gaining back some of his child-like enthusiasm at the end. Giggling lightly at his cute behavior, Kagome descended to the ground at her home. Dropping off her little brother inside the house to go do homework (Kagome had long since given up trying to keep up with her studies. She still read her textbooks, just to stay sharp, but she was planning on quitting school and staying in the feudal era, under the guise of her going to America for treatments with her latest illness, courtesy of her rather eccentric jii-chan.) After admiring the god tree, and noticing that even after living here for 15 years, she hadn't ever really appreciated nature's beauty until she went to the sengoku-jidai. After leaping gracefully into one of the highest boughs of the Goshinkobu, Kagome settled down for a nap.

Hi people, I 'm sorry for my absence, but with school and such, I can't promise regular updates. I'll update when I can, just to repeat what I said at the beginning of this chapter.
PS- I put in the word 'hagetaka' or vulture; at least, that's what my dictionary said.
PPS- I probably won't put a glossary of all the Japanese words I used until the very end, if I do, so feel free to ask what a word is in a review or pm.
PPPS- I love reviews. They make me update faster, and just as a reminder, if I don't get at least 1 new review for each chapter, I won't update, so please, review. I don't really care if it's a flame, but my policy is, if you don't like it, don't read it, so if you flame, be forewarned that I will probably not be kind in my response. (and yes, I do try to respond to every one of my reviews.) Thanks!
