Everything in her life was fantastic. She graduated High School, her Father had moved back for good , and most of all, she had Inuyasha. Their relationship before the well had closed was growing, but ever since it re-opened and they were re-united, well... look at them, they're getting married. After all; absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The Miko was snapped out of her revery when she was shifted on the Hanyou's back in a protective stance as he gripped Tetsusaiga in it's sheath and growled. Distraught, Kagome looked ahead of him to see what he was glaring it. She laughed lightly and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Inuyasha, it's fine. That thing is just a Ferris Wheel. It has booths that you sit in while it turns around. It's fun! And not alive." She smiled.
Inuyasha glared at it once more before standing back up. He gazed around them. They were now at the Festival, though he didn't know how he didn't notice before, with all the lights, music, smells and people. Some of this stuff was familiar to him, like a portion of the foods, the traditional music, and the clothes.
"So, what do ya wanna do first?" Kagome asked. Before Inuyasha even had a second to answer, it seemed like she remembered something. "Oh wait! I have to show you something That way!" She exclaimed, pointing to an area filled with small booths. They come to a stop in front of a booth entitled 'Feudal Era Japan'. "We learned about this stuff at the end of the year in History. Of course, it was my best subject. Anyway, my teacher said there would be a booth on it and when I looked it up I found out that this would be on display." She said as she pointed to the exhibit. It was a royal blue clay pot with white trimmings and golden vines, crawling up the sides.
Before she could blink, Inuyasha jumped back, away from the pot. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He asked.
"What am I doing? What are you doing?" She asked, wiggling off his back.
"Stupid, that kind of pot contains sealed spirits. It reeks of demons. If anyone with spiritual powers even touches it, the demon will be released." He huffed.
"You don't think I know that? Look!" She said, limping as she dragged him back to the booth. The Miko placed her hand on the pot and Inuyasha's hand flew to his sword. But nothing came out. Inuyasha frowned the walked over and opened the pot, sniffing inside.
"Its empty."
"No duh. I want to show it to you because it says here that it was found in the ruins of a small village at the base of MT. Fuji, right around here," She pointed to a small map. "Isn't that where the village you grew up in was?" She asked.
Inuyasha studied the map, then the pot. "Oh yeah, now I remember. This thing was in the temple. Mother said it sealed a powerful demon. Huh, I wonder what happened to it." Inuyasha stated thoughtfully.
"Well, let's not worry about Feudal stuff right now. We're suppose to be having fun!" She exclaimed, pulling him off, yet again. She took him to the food court (which he really enjoyed, I may add), showing him all the different foods. But of course, boys will be boys, and Inuyasha didn't listen to Kagome when she told him not to eat the spicey foods. Poor, poor boy.
The next thing they knew, they had made their way to the bonfire, where the music was being played, and everyone was dancing. Kagome danced with her grandfather, making sure to stay on her good foot as much as she could, leaving Inuyasha watching her with longing.
"Hey, Inuyasha was it? Wanna dance?" An annoyingly familiar voice asked from behind. Inuyasha growled lowly, not even turning around to face her.
"No."
"What?" Sayuri asked, sounding offended, like it was the first time she had ever been turned down.
"I'll dance with Kagome, I'll honour her mother to a dance, I've even danced with my friend Sango at her wedding, but there is no way in hell I would ever dance with you." He spat.
"Ugh, how dare you! Who do you think you are, turning me down! Most guys would be falling over themselves by now!' She screeched.
"Keh, I ain't like other guys." He smirked, though she couldn't see it.
"Oh come on, you know you want to!" She said coyly, about to place her hand on his shoulder when he whirled around and snatched her wrist.
"Don't. Touch. Me." He snarled, shoving her hand back at her.
"Humph! You must be a freak or something, especially if you're marrying that goody-two-shoes of your own free will."
"I'm standing right here you now." Without either of them noticing, Kagome had limped away from her grandfather's dance and over to them. She glared at her cousin with venom he rarely saw in her. It was kind of sexy. "And you're just upset because for once in your life a guy isn't falling all over you. Face it, you can't win." She spat.
Sayuri, glared at them both, as if she was trying to burn them with her gaze...that or she was thinking too hard. With another screech, she stomped away to where Haruhi and Sora were waiting.
Once she was out of sight, Kagome sighed, leaning into Inuyasha. "She is so..."
"Bitchy?"
"To put it mildly, yes." Kagome shook her head. "Let's forget about her. Come on, dance with me." She smiled, leading him over to the dance area.
"B-but I don't know how!" He complained.
"Here, just hold me like this," She guided one hand to her hip, and held the other while she put her own free hand around his shoulders, "and move to the music, like everyone else is."
And so he did, and he liked it I may add. The music he had been familiar with had longer ago faded into strange, but relaxing music from Kagome's own era. He liked the lyrics especially.
'So close to reaching that famous happy ending, almost believing, this was not pretend, and now you're beside me, and look how far we've come. So far, we are so close.'
They were perfect for the love they shared, representing everything that had happened, and what was to come for them. He couldn't wait. And he could tell by the adoring look in her eyes as she looked up at him that she felt the same way.
And the earth started shaking.
Inuyasha, acting on instinct, pulled Kagome into his arms while his eyes darted around, looking for any signs of danger. The other people at the festival ran around panicking, not knowing if it was an earthquake or Godzilla for all they knew. They all seemed to be running away from one particular place.
"INUYASHA! QUICK! LET GO OF ME!" Kagome screamed, struggling in his grip. The Hanyou looked down to see the girl in his arms glowing the pink aura of a miko. He didn't let go at first, not liking the idea, but one final scream from Kagome and a burning sensation in his arms, made him back away slightly.
"Kagome... what's happening to you?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't know but..." The pink aura around her started pulsing, as if reacting to something. A thought in the back of Inuyasha's mind was suddenly brought forth. The pot. That was the area everyone seemed to be running away from, and it was also the direction the pink aura was pulsating towards. "Inuyasha, the jewel's power...it's reacting to the pot." She said under struggle. The Hanyou saw through her facade despite her efforts. What ever this was, it was not only awakening the jewel's power, but taking her strength.
Kagome found the will to move and walked as fast as she could to an abandoned stand where, conveniently, ancient Japanese weapons were being sold. It didn't take her long to find a bow, a quiver and some arrows and walked back to Inuyasha. They exchanged a glance, both seeming to know what the other was thinking. Together they ran towards the booth with the pot, and hopefully, they prayed, no psycho demons. But of course, it never works out that way does it?
They skidded to a stop in front of their fears. The clay pot lay forgotten and broken in front of what was left of the stand, Now, towering over it was a demon that took the form of a 20ft bear with red glowing eyes, fangs, the whole package. "What's this? A Hanyou and a Miko? In these times?" The low, booming voice asked.
"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Inuyasha growled, tightening his grip on the hilt of Tetsusaiga.
"As a matter of fact, I'm quite glad you are here...Inuyasha."
"How do you know my name?"
"I've known you since the night you were brought to that god forsaken village as a pup, but it matters not at the moment. However, what does matter is that Miko holds the power of the Shikon Jewel. I usually do not require such pitiful boosts, but lying dormant for over 700 hundred years has left me drained. And I would not mind having possession of such a rare beauty..."
"You'll never touch her." Inuyasha snarled, pulling out his sword, just as Kagome shouted, "What am I, some auction prize?". She pointed her bow and arrow at the demon. Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk with pride. Same old Kagome.
"Ha! As if you could stop me! Once I am through with you, hanyou, I will take your pressious miko and destroy this pitiful world!" He proclaimed
"Oh no you don't!" Kagome shouted, releasing her sacred arrow. The pink light surrounding the arrow hit what was left of his body, destroying the area it hit.
"Impudent wench..." The monster raised a clawed hand to the sky, a ball of dark fog forming in his palm, before slashing down at her. Kagome immediately tried to run out of the way, but the sudden movement caused her to further injure her ankle and trip to the hard ground. As the fog drew closer, it swirled around Kagome's body, drawing out the pink light with it.
But before the clawed hand could really touch her, Inuyasha jumped in the way, cutting through ther paw and slicing it's head off in one swift movement.
The city was so quiet, you could hear water drop from a faucet on the 5th floor of the nearest apartment building. The dust slowly cleared, leaving the streets completely abandoned, except for the Hanyou and Miko.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called in concern as he scooped her up off the ground and into his arms. After a few seconds, Kagome's eyes fluttered open and Inuyasha let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in.
"I'm okay..." She whispered, content that she was being held in her Hanyou's arms.
Unknown to the couple, not far off a figure watched from the shadows, having stayed behind to see what was happening, She witnessed the entire scene. Sayuri smikred bitterly 'Just wait 'till everyone hears about this.'
