Chapter 9: Kagura The Wind Demon.
"Kagome, how much farther?" Souta asked as he yawned aloud. Kagome smiled and told him a little bit farther. Looking back at Sango and Miroku, Kagome asked if they were good. They nodded and said yes and she smiled turning back to the path.
"It's just over this hill!" Kagome cried with joy. Souta looked up at her and then ran to the top of the hill. Kagome heard himyell with excitment.
"Kagome! It's so big!" Souta said as he looked a the castle from a slightly smaller perspective then Kagome. Nodding with a smiled Kagome told him that he'd beable to meat Shippo and Kirara and eveyone else. Sango and Miroku watched at Kagome's expression changed slightly.
"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked walking to Kagome side. Kagome looked at her slightly then at the castle.
"I donno, but I have a horrible feeling." Kagome said as she started off behind the castle to the left. Something in the woods didn't feel right, not that the woods around the castle every felt right but, she'd gotten used to the feeling. But now, now she was just unnerved. "Come on." Kagome said as she waved a hand. Sango looked off in the direction that Kagome had and saw something move. Miroku seemed to have seen it too, becaues he laid a had down on her shoulder.
"Come on Sango." Miroku said as she nodded and caught up with Kagome and Souta.
Within the castle a demon standing guard shouted out, "IT'S KAGOME! KAGOME'S BACK!" Almost as she finished her shout eveyone crowded the windows.
"It's Kagome! She's back! Kagome's back!" Everyone kept saying as Kagome came closer and closer to the castle with her family and friends. Shippo was the first to rush her. Before she even stepped foot within the castle front pourch Shippo glomped on to her arm.
"You're back! You're back!" Shippo cried as she burried his head in her chest like a child.
"Yeah, and Shippo I brought friends. This is Sango, Miroku, and my little brother Souta. They'd like to stay here with me and every one!" Kagome said as Shippo looked over at the people behind Kagome. Shippo looked at Souta and jumped down to inspect Kagome's little brother.
"You took Kagome away from us!" Was Shippo's first resopnse. Kagome looked down at Shippo horrified. "But, you brought Kagome back so I forgive you!" Shippo said holding out his hand.
"Cool!" Was all Souta could say before shoving his had against Shippo's. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and the other demons laughed the greeted each other. Kagome took note that eveyone was getting along with each other, which is what she wanted all a long.
"Oh! Shippo Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she picked Shippo up.
"He's in his room. He's been locked up there for a long while!" Shippo said slightly sad. "He tried to cheer everyone else up by acting normal, that he bumbed himself out." Shippo explained as Kagome nodded.
"OK, well I'm gonna go see him!" Kagome smiled cheerfully. Setting Shippo down Kagome ran leaving everyone one. Shippo smiled, he was happy Kagome was back, and he knew Inuyasha would be too. As he turned around he heard somebody shout.
"SAKE ANYONE?" Smacking his forhead Shippo knew this would be a long night.
'I hope Inuyasha's still in his room!' Kagome thought as she slowed to a walk. She'd gotten Inuyasha a gift and didn't want to break it. Clenching the small box with joy Kagome smiled. 'I'm back! This is my home now!' Kagome thought as she automaticly made all the right turns down the right hallways and passed through the right doors. "Oh! I'm here already?" Kagome asked out of surprise. She stood in front of Inuyasha's room door. Pushing her hadn forward Kagome swung the large wooden doors open. "Inuyasha? Is anyone here?" Kagome asked looking around. A figure moved ever so slightly in the corner but then was still.
"Go away Shippo." Inuyasha's tired rough voice called. Kagome blinked then walked over to Inuyasha, slightly mad.
"Who are you calling Shippo? My name is Kagome!" Kagome said not knowing why it came out that way. She watched as Inuyasha's silver hair showed in the moonlight as he turned his head to look at her. "See, I'm Kagome. Ka-go-me." Kagome said as if she were speaking to a child.
"Ka-gome?" Inuyasha asked slowly. Kagome smiled down at him and nodded.
"That's a good puppy! Now stand up! Stand up!" Kagome joked as she laughted. Inuyasha did stand up with a huge smile across his face. Lunging on top of Kagome, Inuyasha hugged her.
"You're back." Inuyasha said seeing no sigh of illusion. Kagome stared at him shocked for a few seconds then smiled as she hugged him back.
"Yep, I'm back." Kagome said as she closed her eyes and allowed the hug to go on for a few more minutes. It was times like this when she liked Inuyasha the most. Shoving him back Kagome smiled holding out her box. "A gift! It's thanks for sending the book and that cool blade." Kagome said as Inuyasha looked at her confused.
"Book...and blade..." Inuyasha trailed off. Then it hit him, Shippo told him that he and a few others were sending Kagome letter and that he (Inuyasha) should send something too. Inuyasha didn't really think of it and just threw in a blade - becaues he thinks Kagome's weak- and the book she had left. He just nodded and started to open the box.
Laying in side the box was a small ring. Blinking with confusion Inuyasha picked up the ring and looked at Kagome. "What the hell is this?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome merrly smiled.
"It's my father's favorite ring. Souta's too young to hold on to it and he's getting my Grandfather's ring. So I thought you should keep it." Kagome said with her normal warm smile. "Since you allowed me to have your mother's jewel, I'd like you to have my father's ring!" Kagome said as she made her way to the door. "I just have one tiny favor," Kagome said looking back at Inuyasha. "actually it's a deman really." Kagome added looking towards the ceilling as if to look like she was thinking.
"What?" Inuyasha asked cooly.
"Yes, I deman that Sango, Miroku, and my brother stay here. And you can't do a damn thing about it, becaues if you don't let them, I'll make you wish you were never born." Kagome's face gloomed evil with her words. Jerking upright Inuyasha nodded stiffly. "Ok, good! We'll be down stairs if you want to join us!" Kagome said in her cherry voice again.
"Damn, that's one spycho mistress, Mi'lord." Kagura said from Inuyasha's window seal.
Looking over at Kagura, Inuyasha snarled. "Kagura, theWindDemon."
"Now, now, no need to be so rude. I've come bearing a message from Naraku, and Muso." Kagura said cooly as her redish-pink eyes watched Inuyasha's every move. "They tell me to relay this message to you; Inuyasha, you will perish soon, if not by out hands then the hands of you new girlfriend from the village. If you give up, we won't have to slay that pretty little girl carring the Shikon no Tama." Kagura said smiling. Pausing for a moment she allowed her words to sink into Inuyasha's mind. She started to talk again when she heard him growl lowly at her. "They also say that if you wish to defy them again when they send someone to kill you, they migh take your girlfriend from the village, and break her in. If you caught my drift." Kagura sneered jumping backwards to avoid Inuyasha's claws. "I've relayed my message. Keep in mind, Narak and Muso, are always watching you, and your girlfriend, when you sleep." Kagura raved as she flew into the air on her feather.
"Damnit!" Inuyasha grunted slaming his fists against the wall. Kagome's image flashed through his mind. 'I've got to kill Naraku and Muso!' Inuyasha thought gripping the sword at his side. "Seems, Naraku and Muso, are going to make the first move." Inuyasha muttered as he turned to look at his door. With brisk steps Inuyasha walked out of his room and made his way to watch over Kagome, and everyone else.
I'm sorry I took so long but I haven't had the time lately. I've been remodeling my room so yeah. Here's a small review for chapter 10. Title: Unknown for now.
'Three days, three days and not a movement within the forest. What is Muso and Naraku up to?' Inuyasha asked himself as he sat in his window seal looking out across the moonlit forest. Kagome and everyone else were alseep to Inuyasha's knowledge.
Inuyasha had been keeping an extra close eye on Kagome since Kagura show up that day Kagome came back. He didn't know how to tell the girl her life would be in danger if she stayed, yet he couldn't risk lossing her again. So he stayed quiet and only told Kagome's friends, Sango and Miroku, but only after testing their honor and if they were trust worthy. Only then did he tell them to be with Kagome as much as possible.
