Chapter 4

Modern Times - Kagome:

It was later that day when Kagome and Alex had finally made it out of the house, and where out on the town. They decided to go out for lunch, go to her school to pick up extra books and works she would need. They had the day off, some kind of Teacher in service day. That allowed the students to have the day off and the teachers to catch up as the year was begining to end. With their bags slung over their shoulders, and walking down the main street, Alex grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her off to the side and into a new store that had just opened.

"Oh wow... Kagome, look at this!" Alex exclaimed as she pointed to an old lookign peice of jewelery that sat with in a glass case at the stores counter. It was simple Jade surrounded in a silve clasp, on a thin chain. It shone in the light, and seemed to glow brighter as Kagome neared it.

"It says a mighty Miko princess of the past wore it in a war she fought for her late father." And older lady who sat behind the counter. "It is said that the reincarnation of this powerful princess is the only one that the necklace will glow for, for it holds all of the Princess's power with in it. " The older lady stood up, long gray falling about her shoulders in waves, her eyes a bright emerald green. Her teeth perfect and white despite her age, she was hunched over on a cane she held in her wrinkled hands. "Also it is said, that the Princess reicarnation who wears this gem, will have the power to save the world from an evil demonic foe who wishes to start a war against the Human race." The old lady looked down to the gem then up to Kagome with a wide grin. "the gem seems to call to you, young one. Maybe you are the reicarnation of this princess?"

"No... Noo... I couldn't be." Kagome said with a small wave of her hand. 'I'm already the reicarnation of Kikyo. Not some great war Princess.' She thought with a blank face.

"Comon on Kagome. Maybe you are the Princess in another life." Alex winked as she nuged Kagome in the arm. "How much for the necklace, granny." Alex asked, getting ready to pull out her wallet.

"For her, it's free. In all my years I've never seen it glow before. " The Older lady said taking the neklace out of its case and placed it on the counter.

"Oh no. I can't take it." Kagome rejected. "Sorry but that is just not my kind of thing." She bowed. "Sorry for the trouble." Seh said, turning to leave the place a little freaked out. Once she was back out side Kagome begun taking a few deep breaths of fresh air. She looked around and noticed Alex was not behind her. She looked back inside, as she saw Alex take a large bag from the older lady, bowed and left. Kagome eyed the bag then looked to Alex with a raised brow.

"Just a few gifts for Seth and your mom." Alex shrugged, then smiled as she grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her off towards an ice cream stand, and so the rest of the day went like that. Alex dragging Kagome everywhere, from store to store. Buying a few things here or there. The sun was close to setting when they finally begun walking home. Alex deciding to walk the whole way.

"It's such a wonderful night out." Alex explained as they walked, swining her bags back and forth, she was so full of energy that Kagome had to admire her. A night time job, rasing a kid durning the day, as well as school. And now spending the day dragging Kagome everywhere, and still not showing an ounce of slowing down, Kagome had to admit her good modd had caught on to her self. She smiled and begun skipping along side the older female, Older by only a year, though they are in the same grade.

"It is. I'm so glad to go back. I hope Inuyasha doesn't come and ruin it." Kagome said, thinking about how usally Inuyasha would have shown up by now, demanding she come back to the fuderal era with her.

"If he does, I'll puch him right in the nose." Alex said, stopping and placing the bags down as she put up her hands in front of her and begun boxing the air. "He will not take my Kagome away with out me saying so!" She laughed evily, as she looked back at Kagome, making her freeze at the odd look, before Alex blinked and nearly tackled Kagome in a hug to the ground. "I miss hanging out with you like this Kagome. You've been my best friend since I came to Japan and I can't thank you or your mother enough for everything you've done for me and Seth since he was born."

"We would do anything for you, Alex. You're family now." Kagome hugged her back. Just as she was letting go, she heared her name called from behind her.

"Kagome?" A male voice said in question from behind her. Turning Kagome noticed a famliar boy from school on a bike no more then a few feet behind her and Alex. Letting Alex go, Kagome smiled widely.

"Hojo!" Kagome smiled. "It's been so long." She said as he rode his bike close to where the two girls stood. He nodded to Alex as she gathered their bags, she just rolled her eyes and moved to sit on a bench near by, seeming to be preoccupied by something she bought.

Kagome knew that Alex didn't like Hojo much, only cause he kept of presuing her, though he didn't seem to get the hint that she wasn't fully distratced. That and he always seemed odd when ever Alex was around, as if he didn't like her much either. But when he looked to Kagome he was all smiles and cheers. "I've... i mean... everyone at school misses you Kagome. I'm glad to see your feeling a lot better. Is it your back again?" He asked with concern.

Smiling at Hojo and wondering what kind of illness her grandfather came up with again, to explain her absences. "Yea It was. But I'm all better now. Good enough I should be able to come to school tomorrow. " Kagome put on a wide smile.

"Glad to hear that. We're all lookign forwards to seeing you again." Hojo smiled sweetly. Looking her over, Kagome noticed this but didn't say anything. "So you ready for finals next week."

"Uhh... Sort of." Kagome said, her smile fading. Having so much fun today, she forgot about the finals.

"Well... Do you uh need someone to help you study?" Hojo asked with hope.

"No... She already has me to help her." Alex said appearing at her side, smiling slyly at Hojo before she looked to Kagome. "Kagome we should get going, its getting late." She saidm galncing around them, like she seemed uneven about being out.

"Oh... okay." She nodded to Alex. "Thanks for the offer Hojo. I hope to see you at school tomorrow, but We have to get going now." Kagome said, saying her thanks to Hojo, as Alex grabbed her arm and lead her away. "What's the rush?"

"Oh... uh... Nothing... it's getting late, and I have to work tonight." Alex said quickly as she slowed and let go of Kagomes arm. Looking to her with slight worry, Kagome nodded. "Alright, we better hurry then. But aren't you tired? You havn't slept all day."

"Nah... I can go a few days with little sleep. I'm used to it. Come now, let's hurry up. I want to see my baby before I leave." Alex said, all cheerful again, as she and Kagome begun skipping and singing aloud to a song they heard on the radio ealier that day.

Mintues later, Kagome and Alex where laughing, with bright red faces and teas running down their eyes as they entered the house. "We're home!" Kagome called out as they slipped off their shoes.

"About time Kagome!" Inuyasha voice sounded before he appered before the two of them, his arms crossed in his hoari. "You're coming back with me, Now!" Kagome looked to him with her jaw drop. She knew today was to good to be true. 'When will I ever get to stay here longer then a day!'

"Hey! Back off Inu-butt, she just got in the door. Now move out of the way." Alex said, pushing Inuyasha aside as she moved into the house. He hufed and steeped to the side, watching her and Kagome pass by.

"She has to come back with me now. Kagome, go get your bags." Inuyasha demanded as he followed them into the kitchen.

"Inuyasha I just got back last night. I told you yesterday I'm staying here for a few days, and you agreeed. " Kagome turned on the dog demon that stood behind her.

"Well things changed. Naraku is on the move and we must follow him, now!" Inuyasha demanded once again.

"Naraku can wait. Inuyasha, She's staying here for a few more days, to spend time with her family." Alex butted in from across the room.

"Your not family." Inuyasha glared at the other girl.

"More family then you are." Alex stuck her tounge out at him, causing him to growl.

"Will you two calm down. I can make my own desicions here." Kagome butted in, standing before Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, Alex is right. I have decied to stay here for a few days, and I'm staying. I got finals next week to study for, and I want to spend time with my family." Kagome explained lightly, while she noticed that Inuyasha kept growling Alex who was making faces at him. Kagome glared at her. "Will you two get along."

"Sorry Kagome. We where born to hate each other, and its to much fun getting on his nerves." Alex said with an appologetic look to Kagome. "Right dog butt?" Alex teased. Inuyasha just pushed Kagome to the side.

"That's it. Your paying forit!" Inuyasha growled reaching for his sword.

"Inuyasha! No swords in the house!" When he didn't listen, and just as he was about to pull it out of it's sheath, Kagome's face turned bright red. "SIT BOY!" She yelled out, causing the rosary around Inuyasha's neck to glow bright, and with a loud thump, he was pulled to the floor.

"Serves you right mutt." Alex laughed as she grabbed her one bag and begun to leave the kitchen. "Getting ready for work. See you guys in the morning. Night all!" Alex called over her shoulder to everyone, most said good ye back, except for Inuyasha as he pulled him self off the floor with grumbles of not nice things about Alex.

"She makes me so angry." Inuyasha exlpained as he looked up at Kagome. "Comon Kagome. Let's go." He said standing up.

"No! Inuaysha I said I'm staying here, and I'm staying. You can go back by your self. Give my regards to the others. Tell them I'll be back in a few days." Kagome explained and went to the bag of stuff she bought.

"Fine. Have it your way." Inuyasha stormed off out of the house. Kagome watched through the window as he walkked through the yard to the well, and was gone in a flash. For the rest of the night she spent it with young Seth till he fell asleep, seeing as he wasn;t feeling good that night. He was like a baby brother to her, and she hated seeing him feeling lsike that. But it was the least she could do for Alex while she was at work.

After another long bath, Kagome was heading into her bed room, when she noticed a figure sitting on her bed. With her heart jumping in her chest she turned on the light and saw it was only Inuyasha. Calming down she walked into the room, towel drying her hair as she did so.

"I thought you left." She said sitting on her desk chair to face him.

"I did... But I came back... Naraku attacked Lady Keade's village."
