Ok, sorry it has taken me so long to update. I am just going to call this the end of Chapter Seven… Sorry it took so long I really have had this done for a while but I kept add and editing it. So here it is Part Three..
~Back in Kagome's Time~
"Mama we're home." Kagome said opening the front door. Walking into the house Kagome kicked off her shoes. Walking though the house, Kagome and Inuyasha checked in the kitchen for Kagome's mom. Trust Inuyasha's stomach to lead them to the kitchen first due to the food that Kagome's mom had been cooking in the oven. Only no sign of Mrs. Higurashi here in the kitchen.
"Are you ok Inu? I think this is the first time that your nose has failed you outside of turning human." Kagome said with a smile, walking over to the pantry. Gabbing two bottles of waters out to the pantry, opening them Kagome handed one to Inuyasha.
"It's not my fault Kagome. I can't help it if my nose zeroed in on the kitchen. Your mom was in here though." Inuyasha said sniffing around near the oven.
"Sure Inu, I think that your nose goes through you stomach before it goes to your brain. I am going to look for my mom. I will fix you something to eat in a bit. If you are hungry eat this." Kagome said tossing an apple to Inuyasha.
Watching Kagome leave the room Inuyasha looked down at the apple in his hand. Glaring at it for a moment Inuyasha placed the apple back in the bowl on the table, turned and followed Kagome out of the room. Trailing behind Kagome, Inuyasha followed her to the family room. But the only family member that was in this room was Buyo, the cat.
Walking over to Buyo, Kagome scratched behind his ears trying to thinks of where her family had disappeared to. There was no note on the kitchen table or anywhere for that matter telling her where they had gone. Seeing that his mate was concerned about where her family had gone, Inuyasha walked up behind Kagome.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him. Resting his head on her shoulder, Inuyasha spoke softly "Hey don't worry Kagome, they have to be somewhere close by. I am sure that they will be home soon."
"I know Inuyasha; I was just hoping that Mom would have been home. Oh well, I think that I am going to go up stairs and lay down for a bit. You are welcome to make yourself comfortable if you want." Kagome said turning to head for the stairs.
Reaching out to Kagome, Inuyasha quickly swept her up into his arms. "Now that sounds like a good idea." Inuyasha said resting his forehead against Kagome's. "I think you should be dropped into a tub of ice cold water Inu, and you know I can walk for myself. You don't have to carry me up the stairs. I think I can manage that on my own." Kagome said as Inuyasha made his way for the stairs that lead up to Kagome's room.
"Nope I don't think so, if I put you down then you will try and run, which means that I will have to chase you to catch you and teach you an important lesson of not running away from me. It is safer for you to just let me carry you." Inuyasha said with a smirk as he shifted Kagome in his arms. So that he could reach for the doorknob to enter Kagome's room.
Looking around as the two of them entered the room; Kagome could see that something was different about the room. "I could have sworn that I had put red bed sheets on my bed before I left for Sengoku Jidai. Also the pictures that I had developed and placed in the picture frames are missing along with the frames themselves. Did Inuyasha bring me into the right room? Could it be because we are getting close to the New Moon; no that is not it the New Moon is still a week or more away? What happened in here?" Kagome thought to herself.
Sensing that something had made his mate scent changed from curiosity in what he had in store for her to confusion. "Something is wrong with her." Gently setting Kagome down on her feet Inuyasha turned her to face him and asked "Is everything ok Aisurui? You look like something like something is off."
Taking a quick look around the room from where she was standing Kagome turned her attention back to Inuyasha. "Huh? Oh no Inu. It's nothing really. I just don't see any of my things. Are you sure you came up to the right room? I mean it has been a while since you have been up here maybe you misjudged the doors."
"Keh, I didn't do that. Your room is the first door to the right of the stairs." Poking his head out Kagome's door Inuyasha glanced down the hall just to make sure that he hadn't messed up. "Kagome's room is to the right of the stairs. That indoor…what did she call it bathroom and Sota's room are to the left of the stairs, and Kagome's mom's room is to the right of Kagome's room."
Stepping back into the room Inuyasha looked down at his mate. "Keh, I told you that I didn't mess anything up Kagome. Your door is the first one that I came to from the stairs. Maybe your mom did something with your things." Inuyasha said walking further into the room sitting down on her bed.
"I don't know Aisuru." Kagome said as she opened her closet "Well that is still there. But then if mom did do something with my things then this would be something that she couldn't have moved." Kagome thought as she looked down at a strong fire, yokai, hanyo, and little brother proof box that held the Shikon no Tama within a smaller box that was made of the strongest metal and non-threatening elements that had been discovered on the Periodic Chart.
Not to mention that she had been smart enough to seal the jewel within the small box with her own Miko powers, and she had placed an equally powerful charm on the outside. Making it to where she would be the only one who would be able to pick the box without getting hurt.
Picking the box up off the floor of her closet by its handle, Kagome turned around and set the box down next to the foot of her bed. Walking over to her desk Kagome noticed a silver key on a key ring and a note that had been placed next to it with her name on the outside of the note.
Picking up the note Kagome couldn't help but laugh a little. It was a note from her mother saying:
Kagome: If you get this then it means that your grandfather and I have taken Sota to an out of city soccer tournament in Sendai. We will be back in three days a few days. Also I hope that you are not too worried about where your things went. I just figured that you might want some more room, now that you are getting older, so between Sota and me we moved most of your things down to the apartments that your father had been working on when you were little. We moved your things in to the apartment area behind the well house. (The door on the right hand side.) Also be nice to Inuyasha and don't run him off. We will be home late in the evening. Also take that case in the closet with you. I wasn't able to move it for you. MOM xoxoxo
Noticing that Kagome was laughing at something that she had in her hand, Inuyasha decided that he needed to investigate what his mate found so funny. Getting up off of Kagome's bed, Inuyasha walked up behind her. Looking over her shoulder, he was puzzled by all the characters. He recognized the symbols for his name, and Kagome's but as for the other's he was at a loss. 'Dumb modern writing. Why did they have to go and change the way things were written.' "What is so funny aisuru? What does it say?"
Folding the paper back up Kagome said "Nothing aisuru, it's nothing." Reaching down for the silver key, she picked it up. Turning around Kagome headed for the door. Reaching down with her other hand she picked up the box that contained the jewel of the four souls. Turing around to face Inuyasha "Are you coming aisuru?"
Turning back towards the door Kagome moved to go out the door but was stopped when Inuyasha reached out to take hold the case that Kagome was holding. Before Kagome had time to react to what Inuyasha was doing the case and her miko powers that she had used to seal the case reacted to Inuyasha's demon blood.
The case pulses blue and Inuyasha was quickly tossed by an unseen force in to the wall opposite of the door. Slumping forward from the force of Kagome's power, Inuyasha just sat there stunned, unbelieving that his Kagome would ever do anything like to harm him.
Dropping the case as quickly as it had pulsed, Kagome dropped the case on the floor and turned to run to Inuyasha. "Inu are you…" "Stop don't come any closer to me." Inuyasha said fearfully knowing that his voice made him sound like he was in pain. But he didn't care he was still trying to wrap his brain around what had just happened and his yokai reacted by sending a message that told him that if Kagome touched him it would equaled pain.
Falling to her knees Kagome sat just a few feet from Inuyasha. He was within arms distance but she couldn't believe her ears to what he had just said. He sounded so hurt. Had her powers hurt him that bad? A million questions came to her mind. Was he alright? How badly did he get hurt? Did she put so much power behind sealing the jewel into the case that she had purified her beloved in the process of creating a way to insure that the jewel would be safe?
Letting her tears freely flow down her face Kagome turned her eyes towards Inuyasha. At first glance she noticed that his hair still held the silvery-white color that it always had. She couldn't tell weather or not Inuyasha still had his cute dog ears. Sniffling a little trying to will herself to stop crying she noticed a slight twitch signaling that he hadn't lost his dog-like ears. The damn half- demon had just had them pressed tightly against his head making it impossible for her to see them.
"She's crying. Why is she crying? I feel her pain in my heart. What is wrong? She feels upset. Did she not mean to do that? Yeah right. She used her miko powers against me. As soon as I touched her hand that she was carrying the case in she reacted with using her powers. What is so important that she didn't want me to touch her.'
Inuyasha closed his eyes tightly and focused on the energy in the room. He felt Kagome sitting a few feet in front of him. The magic inside of her hummed against his as if reaching out to assure him that she hadn't meant for anything to happen. Her powers also hummed with traces of his yokai powers. Not as strong as his but they were there none the less.
Opening him self more to the energy in the room Inuyasha found what he sought out. There is was lying next to the door that in cursed case. All around the case Kagome's power hummed. He felt it ebb and flow around the case. Something seemed different between what was around the case and what powers worked their way though Kagome.
Comparing the two to one another Inuyasha discovered that the power around the case was the raw pure power of Kagome. Of course, Inuyasha thought to himself. 'I claimed her as my mate and because of that I corrupted her powers a little. No wonder why that blast hurt like hell, that is the real power of Kagome. Thank the heavens that Kagome never used her true powers on me or she would have purified my ass to hell and back. Fuck!'
Franticly searching his mind Inuyasha looked for traces of his human and demonic self. Reaching deep with in his mind Inuyasha came across both halves of his soul. He could feel his human side stirring. Knowing that his human side wouldn't care one way or another to what had just happened, Inuyasha turned his attention to prodding his yokai side to wake up. 'Hey are you all right?'
Inuyasha continued to prod the demon to at least regaining conciseness. Feeling his demonic side groggily waking up and taking note that he didn't looked to worst for wear Inuyasha turned his attention to his mate who was still crying.
Opening his eyes, Inuyasha looked towards where Kagome was sitting. He felt his heart twist in pain at the sight before him. Kagome sat a few feet from him crying. He could see as well as smell the tears as they fell from her face. He hated to see her cry. It was one of those weaknesses that Inuyasha didn't know he had until he met Kagome. It was strange how she could affect him so. He wanted nothing more at the moment to hold her and give her the reassurance that he was alright.
At the protest of his muscles Inuyasha moved towards his mate. Reaching out Inuyasha grabbed hold of Kagome's wrist and gave a gentle but soft tug pulling her toward him. Wrapping his arms around her, Inuyasha pressed Kagome's head into his chest. Growling softly Inuyasha spoke "Kagome, come on please stop crying. Please stop. See I am fine." Inuyasha pulled her back to look into her eyes.
iOk sorry for the cliff hanger on it but I have been sitting on this for too long. I will try to update with chapter eight sooner then this. Chapter Eight will be mostly modern time. I don't think I am going to go back to the past in the chapter.
Sorry for the long time between updates. Life got in the way of me writing but now everything is better and I can get back to writing.
