"InuYasha back so soon?" Kaede asked as she was mixing some herbs. "I expected you and lady Kagome to be gone for a while considering what the monk and Sango did…" Kaede trailed off. InuYasha did his best not to blush. He saw Sota there and shook his head.
"Twerp leave! Us adults need to talk, so vamoose!" InuYasha kicked Sota. Sota got up and left. Right before he walked out he turned around.
"You can't be InuYasha. You look human and have black hair. InuYasha doesn't." Sota stomped off. Everyone looked at InuYasha.
"What does he mean you're human and have black hair? I only see your usual white hair and your dog ears." Sango said blankly. She was leaning up against the wall away from Miroku. InuYasha blinked. Why was it that only Kagome, Sota, and him saw him as a human? InuYasha sat down.
"Where's Kikyo?" InuYasha asked pulling at the arrow. Everyone glared at him. InuYasha didn't care what they thought. "I'm done doing Kagome so I want to do Kikyo. Where is she?" InuYasha asked staring at his feet.
"Sit!" InuYasha fell to the floor. InuYasha looked up and saw Kagome standing there. "You have some nerve InuYasha! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!" Kagome sat down. InuYasha yelped as the arrow was digging deeper in his chest. Kagome hopped up. "I'm sorry I totally forgot. It still hasn't come out?" Kagome bent over by InuYasha. InuYasha was biting his lower lip. "What is with everyone? Why don't they try to do something about this arrow?" Kagome asked in his ear.
"I don't know. But they don't see me in my human form either. They see me as my half demon form." InuYasha muttered back. Kagome blinked. "Sota he saw me in my human form. Only us three see me like-" InuYasha shook his head.
"Don't worry the night should be over soon." Kagome sat down not sure what to say or to do. Everyone was staring at them.
"Go on undress we don't care." Kaede surprisingly said. InuYasha turned red and Kagome fell from surprise.
"That's not what we're doing!" InuYasha jumped to his feet. "What is with you guys? This can't be my friends! They would never say such things! Show yourself Naraku!" InuYasha yelled looking around. Everything became blurry then they saw their friends tied up. Kagome placed an arrow on her bow.
"InuYasha go! This isn't good. With you right now…Go!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha stared at her.
"What are you insane? I'm not going to leave you! Never in all of the hells would I leave you!" InuYasha grabbed Kagome's wrist. Kagome wriggled her arm out of his grasp.
"Damn it InuYasha. Go get Kikyo. Have her pull out that arrow! Now before Naraku sees you in your human form! If he saw you then…" Kagome shook her head. InuYasha nodded and reluctantly ran to find Kikyo. "Naraku you're going to pay for playing such a dirty trick!" Kagome yelled. Where was he? It would be so much easier if he had at least one shard of the jewel. Kagome and InuYasha had recently collected them all.
"Kagome! What are you doing here all by yourself?" Kagome jumped. She looked over and saw Koga standing there. "Give me a shard piece unless you want to die!" Koga yelled. Kagome was hesitant. If she gave him a shard then InuYasha…
"I can't. If I do InuYasha won't be able to come live with me in my time." Kagome said holding up her bow. She pointed it directly at Koga. Why should she care who she killed? She was going to leave this place for good anyway. Koga looked at the floor. InuYasha was going to live with her?
"Kagome I betrayed my tribe for you! And this is how you repay me? I love you damn it!" Koga bit his lip. Kagome glared at him not lowering her bow any. Koga was going to go and try to kill InuYasha if she didn't do something.
"How sweet is this? Friends betraying each other. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Now where is the jewel? I know you have the whole thing." Cooed an unfamiliar male voice.
"Kagome watch out!" Yelled Tsubaki who came out from nowhere. She jumped into Kagome knocking her to the floor. Kagome looked up and saw the wall she was standing in front of her dissolve. Kagome sighed. That was way too close for her liking. Kagome felt a hand go from her neck downwards. She closed her eyes and felt lips on hers.
"What the bloody hell?" InuYasha yelled. He had just gotten back. From InuYasha's point of view it looked like Kagome was pinned down. "Get off of her Koga!" InuYasha growled. Kagome opened her eyes and looked above her and sure enough it was Koga kissing her. Kagome was staring at InuYasha. He was still a human.
"InuYasha?" Koga asked. He was staring at InuYasha. He looked different. "You look human. But…" Koga hopped up and walked to InuYasha. InuYasha smirked. Yes he still was a human but he didn't care, not anymore. He only wanted to be by Kagome at all costs. At the looks of things he managed to find Kikyo, for he had the arrow out.
"Kagome let's go home. I'm ready to make the ultimate sacrifice." InuYasha said pulling Kagome up. Kagome felt tears come to her eyes. She wasn't really sure whether she wanted to live with InuYasha or SesshoMaru. Tsubaki was standing there trying to calm Koga down. Kagome wanted SesshoMaru more than anyone else but she knew SesshoMaru wanted Rin more than anyone else. Kagome dropped her bow and ran out the door. She needed to talk to SesshoMaru.
Kagome stopped short of breath. She saw though SesshoMaru there fighting someone; Rin was standing behind him with some arrows and a bow. Walking up to Rin Kagome sensed that Rin was dead set on helping SesshoMaru. Rin looked at Kagome and dropped her bow. Kagome picked it up and grabbed an arrow. "You don't know how to use this do you?" Rin shook her head. "He's testing you I bet. To see whether you're worthy of his love." Kagome said though dry lips. Rin gasped. That couldn't be true SesshoMaru practically hated her! "If not then why did he save your life Rin?" Kagome asked handing back the bow and arrow.
Rin spread her feet apart. "Naraku die!" Rin yelled as she let her arrow fly. SesshoMaru turned around at these words and the arrow skimmed his cheek. Rin turned red. Kagome tried her best not to laugh; after all she was pretty bad at archery when she first tried. SesshoMaru shook his head. That was when he saw Kagome standing there. What was she doing here? She was going to ruin everything with Rin!
"SesshoMaru we need to talk!" Kagome stopped there because she saw that Rin was shaking. Kagome bent down by her as Rin fell to her knees. "Rin what's wrong? You can't be anything more than an ordinary human." Kagome placed her hand under Rin's chin and made her look at her.
"SesshoMaru is going to die. I saw it. He's going to die!" Rin was crying uncontrollably. Kagome embraced her and quickly stood back up picking up the bow and an arrow. "You're going to save him Kagome?" Rin asked. Kagome nodded her head.
"I know what you're going through. I've been through it too many times but Rin you're not going to like what happens afterward when I'm gone." Kagome stared past SesshoMaru's shoulder. He raised his eyebrows since he could hear everything that they were saying. Kagome smirked and sent her arrow flying. It went past SesshoMaru right next to his cheek but not even skimming it.
"No! You bloody- you have interfered too often Kikyo's reincarnation!" Naraku yelled foaming at the lips. SesshoMaru looked at Rin who was on the ground cradling herself. She saw that he was going to die and it affected her this much? Kagome gasped as SesshoMaru was being covered in Naraku's body. SesshoMaru tried to claw his way out but nothing he did worked. Naraku swallowed up his body. Kagome fell to her knees and Rin was going ballistic.
"Wind scar!" InuYasha yelled loudly as he cut where SesshoMaru had just been. He cut enough of Naraku's body for SesshoMaru to get out of it. "Naraku you will die today!" InuYasha leapt at Naraku once again.
"Amusing he saved my life." SesshoMaru said blankly as he stood by Kagome with Rin in his arms. Kagome looked at InuYasha. Why would he save SesshoMaru's life? Kagome took a good luck at InuYasha and gasped. He was still a human! But how is he able to use the tetsusaiga like that? Something was seriously going on here but what? "Hmm he's human again. I remember when he changed into a human when he was just a little whelp." SesshoMaru smiled a happy smile.
"Hey brother." InuYasha walked up to him. SesshoMaru looked behind InuYasha and nodded. "Heh, I knew you would approve. I was just repaying you. It was about time I did." InuYasha held out his hand. SesshoMaru took it and they shook. Kagome was dead surprised by this. What was going on here? I mean SesshoMaru and InuYasha getting along! InuYasha looked at Kagome with pity.
"InuYasha let her talk to me, that is what she came here for." SesshoMaru grabbed InuYasha's arm. Kagome walked past them. She sighed. SesshoMaru quickly followed.
"You're in love with Rin, I'm in love with you and InuYasha. I can't stand to be away from you though. So what is it we're supposed to do?" Kagome looked at the ground. SesshoMaru embraced her.
"You're right. I love Rin but she…I can't. She's too young. Kagome you forgot to say that I loved you as well." SesshoMaru stroked her hair.
"Kagome hurry up!" InuYasha yelled. Kagome leaned up to SesshoMaru. How was she ever going to choose between them? SesshoMaru knew he could never really have her if he did then… SesshoMaru sighed letting her go. Kagome looked up at him with surprise and hurt. She had a feeling of what he was going to do next.
"Kagome me and you just isn't right. I want to but we can't. I mean what about poor InuYasha over there? He's ready to become a human and live with you in your time. I could never go to your time." SesshoMaru gave her a faint smile. Kagome bit her tongue.
"You don't know whether you can come to my time or not! You've never tried! Please try before you make up your mind." Kagome stared at her shoes. SesshoMaru walked up to her and kissed her. He motioned for her to hop on his back. Kagome smiled and hopped on. SesshoMaru ran as fast as he could so InuYasha and Rin wouldn't see them. They were at the destroyed well. "Let's go." Kagome got ready to walk into the black aurora covering the well. SesshoMaru grabbed her arm.
"What if I make it?" SesshoMaru was staring at the well somewhat afraid. Kagome chuckled.
"Easy. You'll use the jewel to become human!" Kagome closed her eyes, cocked her head, and smiled. Holding hands they walked together. When they opened their eyes SesshoMaru placed Kagome on his back and they hopped out of the well. "Well welcome to my home SesshoMaru." Kagome lead him to her house. SesshoMaru got nervous. Kagome quickly lead him up to her bedroom. "Um here." Kagome said as she held the jewel out to him. SesshoMaru smiled and took it. He gulped it down. Less than a minute later a light covered SesshoMaru. When it was gone Kagome could only stare.
"Kagome?" SesshoMaru asked her. Kagome didn't know how to tell him so she led him to the full body mirror on her wall. SesshoMaru almost fell from surprise. He had light brown hair, the stripes on the side of his face were gone, his ears were like Kagome's, and his claws were gone.
Kagome placed her hand on his forehead. "Well at least you still have that blue moon on your head." Kagome ran her hand over it. SesshoMaru smiled faintly. He wasn't sure if this was the right choice for him. A loud growl interrupted his thinking. SesshoMaru blushed lightly. "Hungry? Well since it's your first day here let's go out." Kagome was about to head out of her room when she realized her clothes were all dirty. "Um go wait downstairs and stay there. I'll be down in a sec." Kagome rubbed the back of her head. SesshoMaru walked downstairs. He was amazed with everything he saw.
"Huh? Who are you?" Kagome's mom walked in the living room. SesshoMaru turned to her and jumped back. He cracked his fingers. A breeze touched them. "I didn't think I had any windows open…" Kagome's mom looked around. Kagome ran straight into the well. She hopped out and was looking for InuYasha.
"InuYasha!" Kagome yelled. InuYasha appeared in front of her, back in his half demon form. Kagome smiled at the sight of him and placed her hands around his neck. InuYasha was dumbstruck with what Kagome did next.
"Kagome?" InuYasha felt around his neck. She took that necklace off! Kagome hugged him and quickly turned around. He slowly raised his hand and shakily placed it on her shoulder. "Sota. He wants to stay here, in your place Kagome. None of us want him to go. He…it's good that you're leaving actually. Now we can all forget about all of that future stuff and not change history." InuYasha said sincerely. Kagome gulped.
"If he doesn't want to leave we can't make him. He could always come back. Good-bye for good InuYasha. Take good care of my brother. I'm sure he'll make a good swordsman and a healer." Kagome walked back to the destroyed well. This was the last time she'd ever come to the federal era. "Hey SesshoMaru. Let's go okay?" Kagome asked pulling at his arm. Kagome was now wearing jean shorts and a tank top.
"Kagome?" Kagome turned around and saw her mom standing there. Kagome looked at her feet. She saw a shadow behind her. Someone was standing/hiding behind her! SesshoMaru noticed this too and walked over to Kagome.
"Let's go. Don't worry I'll make sure she doesn't see." SesshoMaru hissed. Kagome turned around and walked out of the door SesshoMaru right behind her. They ran as fast as they could away from her house. "Rin!" SesshoMaru exclaimed. Kagome turned around and saw Rin standing there. Rin looked at Kagome back to SesshoMaru back to Kagome.
"Who is that? IS that Lord SesshoMaru? Oh god." Rin stepped back her hands over her mouth. SesshoMaru looked at Rin with something close to sorrow. Kagome bent down and embraced Rin. Kagome looked up at SesshoMaru. What were they going to do? Kagome opened her moth to say something but closed it because she couldn't think of anything to say. Kagome felt a strange sensation go through her body. A light covered Rin. When the light was gone Rin was too. Kagome looked everywhere and saw no trace of her. SesshoMaru walked up to Kagome and placed his hand on the back of her neck.
"Let's go eat Kagome. It's for the best she's not here you know." SesshoMaru was staring at the sky. Was it just his imagination or did Rin look a little like Kagome? Sighing he followed Kagome without saying another word. Kagome decided to take him to a sushi bar. SesshoMaru looked at it then at Kagome with a look of disgust.
"Hey you haven't even tried it yet!" Kagome exclaimed. "Oh hey Hojo…" Kagome trailed off as Hojo came to take their orders. SesshoMaru sensed Kagome's nervousness and sorrow. "Hojo listen I'm sorry…I never meant to-" Hojo placed his finger over her mouth. He had his eyes closed.
"Kagome forget it. I'm here to get money to buy something for my girlfriend for Valentines Day." Hojo said with no emotion. Kagome bit her lower lip.
"Who's the lucky girl?" Kagome asked shyly. She was sorry that she gave Hojo up. Hojo looked at her awkwardly. Kagome shook her head. "Never mind. Sorry I shouldn't have…" Kagome trailed off running her hand through her hair. Hojo looked over at SesshoMaru.
"What happened to that demon looking guy you gave me up for Kagome?" Hojo asked bitterly. Kagome stood up. She didn't want to hear anymore.
"SesshoMaru let's go. I'm leaving Hojo and I'm not planning to come back." Kagome fluffed her hair as she walked out of the door. SesshoMaru blinked and ran after her. "Argh! Why am I so upset? I never liked him! Stupid InuYasha you knew I liked your brother and you let him live. I expected different from you. You stupid-" Kagome grumbled. SesshoMaru followed silently not sure whether to tell Kagome that he was behind her or not. Well at least he knew a little about this place now. SesshoMaru had a feeling that if he even wanted to leave this time he wouldn't be able to.
Kagome turned around and stared at SesshoMaru. "SesshoMaru that you're here we're going to have to place you in a school. I'll catch you up so you won't have to start from kindergarten Tomorrow we enroll you into my junior high!" Kagome exclaimed pulling SesshoMaru behind her. Kagome decided to just go to McDonalds.
