Chapter 6. Home, is where?

The trio's faces had all fell while their companion sobbed out her grief for their beloved priestess, whom had opened her village with open arms to the group as their home...the same woman who had taken care of them while they was sick or wounded, who had taught kagome everything she knew about being a Priestess...and no matter how much they didn't listen to her and did exactly what she said not to do she still just shook her head and took care of the mess they made, she was a shoulder for them to lean on, an ear to listen, a warm hug when Kagome felt like crying. She was just here and just like that she's gone...she didn't even get to say goodbye...

The valley echoed kagome's sobs, up in the mountains the wolf clan stood at the edges listening to their sisters griefing yells, all of their hearts broke for her. Within this small side of japan it had began to rain the sounds of sobbing heard all throughout the land. Sango tilted her friends head up towards her, her own eyes too full of tears. Her voice broke as she tried to remain strong "she slept a lot so she wasn't hurting, i know it doesn't make it any easier to hear but let my words comfort you Kagome, she just slept and slept until the sleep was no longer temporary" kagome watched sango, quickly she pulled her into a tight embrace "it's just so hard to believe" sango too embraced Kagome in return "i know, it's hard for all of us. When your better I'll take you to her grave it's beautiful" sango gave kagome a shaky, uncertain, painful smile. The girls helped pick eachother up, they wiped each other's faces free from the tears. Kagome looked to sango and miroku, the pair smiled at her. "He...hey kagome" Inuyasha walked up behind Kagome, his hand rubbing the back of his head. Kagome looked to Inuyasha confused "yea?" He let out a shaky breath "what are you doing here anyways? I figured you and.." he froze for a moment seeing the gaze kagome gave him, silently daring him to insult Koga. He looked at her eyes, the same eyes that once held warmth, kindness and love for him now held the promise of his death if an insult was made about someone else, she loved him...it was clear now she held no love for him anymore "i figured you and k...ko..koga would have mated by now" he looked away ashamed that he had pushed his first friend so far away from him that she now held hate for him in her aura. Inuyasha's statement caught Kagome by surprise "uh...we are going to mate but there is something i want to do first that's why I came here seeking Kaede..." she let out a sigh and looked at the group around her "is there somewhere we can talk? We can't risk and eavesdroppers hearing my request." They all gave her a confused and concerned look.

The group walked to Kagome's old hut, Kikyo stood by the steps. Fire ignited in her eyes when she saw kagome beside Inuyasha "what is she doing here!? Let alone what is she doing so close to you!" She came closer to kagome, kagome stared at kikyo "Oh go back to the grave you came from you walking clay pot. I'm not in the mood for your shit." They all stared at kagome in aw, sango miroku and inuyasha all moved away from the two Priestesses, knowing that tone in kagome's voice they thought it best for their health and safety to leave her be. Kikyo scoffed at the nerve of Kagome " why don't you just give me back my soul and leave this era" the aura coming off of kagome was that of naraku, if they didn't know better they could of swore he was back. "Step off" she shoved kikyo away from her "i have things to do, besides not you or anyone can tell me what to do, who to be around and not be around or where to be. If i want to keep MY soul then i will, if i want to walk beside inuyasha then I'm going to walk beside him. If i want to be in this era then I AM GOING TO DO DAMN WELL JUST THAT." Kikyo stared at the woman in front of her whom just dare to shove her and yell, like she was better than her. She drew back and punched kagome in the face, when kagome stood her ground she felt her face, and on her fingers glowing a brilliant dark crimson red was blood...this was enough to infuriate kagome but not only kagome. A certain demon she's to be mate of smelt the blood from inside his den. The assault to his nose and to his woman caused the demon to go into a frenzy, the two women stood there staring at each other. "That's it bitch I've had enough. I've had enough of you and your shit" kagome clenched her fist and drew it back "I've gave you chance after chance, I've been friendly with you despite what you've done to me and to my friends" kagome threw her fist towards kikyo's stomach. Her fist was caught, she threw her knee up and just like her fist was caught. Kikyo laughed viciously "what now kagome...your too slow" kagome smirked " hey kikyo...FUCK YOU" out of the corner of kikyo's eye she caught kagome's other hand. Kagome threw her fist happy that her plan worked, she put all of her priestess power into it right before it had connected with the side of kikyo's jaw, knocking the unknowing woman to the ground. When she sat up a couple teeth was spat out along with a mouth full of blood, her mouth still filling up with blood. They all stood in awe as they watched the women fight. A loud howl was heard, and the wind picked up.
