Chapter 10: Kikyo Shows Up

I wake up with the sun shining brightly in my eyes. I look around to see I'm in my room with Sakura next to me. She was holding onto Inuyasha's thumb while they both slept. Reaching over, I grab my camera and take a picture.

Inuyasha wakes up to the flash and looks at me curiously. "What are you doing?"

"Taking your picture."

"Why?"

"Your mom and I have a scrapbook hobby. When it comes to Sakura, we both make two copies of any that we take so we can both have them. I'll show you sometime."

"Kagome, I hungry."

"Good morning Sakura, let's get some breakfast." Inuyasha picks her up and we walk into the kitchen.

I see a note on the counter. 'Good morning Kagome, I left with Souta. Kikyo called, she's visiting for a while until her apartment gets renovated. Love you, Mom.'

"Ugh…Kikyo's coming?"

"Who's Kikyo?"

"My evil cousin; anyway, what do you want to eat?"

"Eggy"

"Alright, I'll make omelets. Does that sound good?"

"Uh-huh!" I start to cook, when the door bell rings.

"Inuyasha, can you get that?"

"I still don't have a shirt." I glance at his chest before looking down at myself.

"I'm not dressed either! Plus I'm cooking!"

"Fine, better not burn it then." Inuyasha opens the front door.

"Oh…Hello…who are you? I thought this was where my family lived."

"You Kikyo?"

"Yeah."

"You're at the right place." Ugh…the torture begins.

Inuyasha and Kikyo come into the kitchen right when I finish cooking. I sigh, "Kikyo."

"Kagome." Inuyasha looks at us back and forth. I give Inuyasha his breakfast and Sakura hers. I dig in as I feel the glare heading my way. We all ate in silence, not knowing what to say in the awkward situation.

This is ridiculous! "Sakura, would you like to help me with some things today?"

"Yeah! What are we doing?"

"We're going to set up Inuyasha's shed. Wanna see what we've done so far?"

She smiles and starts running around. "Where is it?! I wanna see!"

"Go look at the old shed." Before we know it, she's gone. We all follow. "Inuyasha? What can we do with the rest of the wood?"

"I'll figure something out…Um…I was thinking…what if I paint the walls while you do the shopping. I don't know one thing from another. You look like you do…so…"

"Don't worry about it."

He nods and we watch Sakura admire the easel for a little while, then I run up to my room to change and get ready.

I come out in a tight white t-shirt and jeans slipping into flip flops, I grab my purse and call my friend Eri. I see Inuyasha trying to change Sakura for me. Well that'll make things easier.

"Hi Eri? Yeah it's Kagome, does your offer still stand with the truck? … Yeah, I'll take it…thanks bye." She said if I fixed it up to work. I could keep it. I go to get Sakura and we head to the mall.

(Hours Later)

I managed to get him a bunch of things on deliver. A twin sized bed with a simple looking oak wood that matched the dresser well, a red beanie chair, a red and brown comforter, a red and brown rug, and plenty of art supplies. I even managed to get him a punching bag made for demons, so he can work out. He said he liked to make himself stronger and fight; so there, he's all set. They'll be delivered sometime this week guaranteed.

We get home and I carry Sakura as I look for Inuyasha. Inuyasha's going to be so happy! I walk over to them and see them kissing. "Oh! Now I see why you wanted to stay!" I was fuming.

"Kagome?!"

"I'm so sorry to interrupt!" I run away, to the only place that seems to give me peace.

"Kagome! Kagome wait! I-" I couldn't hear him, since I was already gone.

(Inuyasha POV)

"All done, the shed's looking good."

"You're name's Inuyasha right?"

"Yeah."

"I'm Kikyo. How long have you been here?"

"A long time actually, I never got out much." I try to keep the memories of me being held captive out of my head.

"I see, what are your motives?"

"Don't got any."

"None? Or nothing you wish to mention?" I didn't say anything to that, giving Kikyo the wrong idea. She hangs onto my arm. "You can tell me Inuyasha," I keep quiet and she leans forward and kisses me. What…the…?

"Oh! Now I see why you wanted to stay!" Oh shit!

"Kagome?!" I didn't want her to see that…wait…why not? It's not like I like her or anything…

"I'm so sorry to interrupt!"

She starts to run as I call after her. "Kagome! Kagome wait! I didn't mean to!..." I sigh, Damn…I didn't do anything! What's her problem?!

"Don't worry about her, Inuyasha. She's just a tiny version of me. There's nothing that she can't give you that I can't. She shouldn't even be here."

I feel Sakura climbing up to my shoulder. "You a meanie! Go away!" She sticks her tongue out at Kikyo.

"You're not even old enough to understand half breed." I growl then. I've always despised that name. I hear a scream and immediately know that it's Kagome. I run after her to see if she's okay.

I find Kagome lying on the ground with a gash in her side. There was a giant centipede towering over her.

"Child! Was that the shikon jewel it just swallowed?!" I look at an old lady standing next to her. Jewel?! It couldn't be.

"I don't know…why was it inside me?!"

There we go, that was longer. Yes, I do plan on putting the actual series in here; just a little different. I'm taking enemies and certain scenes to make it my own version. Hope you like it! Please review!
