Back to the story! REVIEW!
Old convo between me and my best friend back when I first started writing this fanfic. I decided to just leave it as is. Enjoy and REVIEW!
Chapter 14
Kagome growled when she noticed the darkened sky and the foul smell of demons heading toward the clearing. She stood up swiftly and walked toward the hut with a scowl on her face. "What's wrong?" asked Ai
"Demons are heading here"
"Oh, how long till they arrive?" asked Ai
Kagome concentrate again "about 30 minutes, where's Juro? I bet he planned this," said Kagome with a frown.
Ai giggled "He's in the back"
Kagome went back out the front door and went to the back to see Juro and Shippou laughing "did I miss something?" asked Kagome as she crossed her arms across her chest
Shippou jump at the sound of her voice, but Juro just look at her and rolled his eyes "no princess."
"Don't call me that," she growled
"But it's who you are princess," said Juro with a smirk
Kagome looked at Juro hard and then caught an amusing glint in his eyes 'He's toying me!' Kagome screamed in her mind "I'll purify you sorry ass," sneered Kagome
"Okay, okay" laughed Juro putting both hands up in a mock surrender.
"So, you want to tell me why demons are heading this way?" asked Kagome
"Yes, I lure them here, for Shippou's training,"
"How did you do that?" asked Kagome skeptically already dreading the answer.
"I burrowed one of your jewel shards," he responded nonchalant Juro
"You know how dangerous that is!" screamed Kagome but she knew it all went into one ear and out the other.
"Aww, the princess cares about me," laughed Juro Shippou joined in soon after
Kagome snort and went back under her tree and tried to concentrate. "Princess my ass," she mumbled
********FLASHBACK**********
"Kagome, I got news!" called Juro
"What news?" responded Kagome leaving the cave
"You are a princess" he said
"Uh huh" Kagome rolled her eyes and headed to the back to the hut to take a hot bath
"I'm serious! What was your father's name?" asked Juro
Kagome thought back when she once asks her mom for her father's name...
*******DOUBLE FLASHBACK*******
"Mommy, what was daddy's name?" asked a 2 year old Kagome. She was always so much smarter than her age.
Her mother laughed and kissed her "his name was Kurogane."
"Kuro..., " she said with a smile not being able to finish and that was it.
******END OF FLASHBACK******
Kagome shook her head lightly and then look up at Juro with a faint smile "his name was Kurogane" said Kagome
"Was? You speak about him like he was dead" and that got Kagome confused.
"You haven't gone to speak your mother yet, so how do you know of his whereabouts or if his dead" continued Juro "anyway, Kurogane is a young prince and the son and heir of Lord Kazune, the ruler of the Fire Fox Clan and the son of Lady Sayaka, the ruler of the Black Inu Clan, which means you're father is half and half. There will come a time your father will meet your mother, and he will be King of both Clan by then, which will make you the princess of both Clan," said Juro with a smile
Kagome froze and just stared at Juro like he gained a third eye. She opened and closed her mouth over and over again but no words would come out. Then her lips cracked into a smirk, and then a grin, then she let out a laugh, leaving a confused Juro trying to figure out if she's gone metal. "What's the matter with you? Have you gone insane?" asked Juro
"Me!" asked Kagome and she suppressed her laugh "me?" she asked again "have you?" she asked Juro completely serious
"I just told you some important fact and you started laughing like a maniac on the loose," said Juro
"Yes, only because you're speaking of non-sense," said Kagome continuing her march toward the hut.
"Why do you think so?"
"How you expect me to believe that I'm the princess of two demon clans? And that my father might be alive, and how am I a miko and not a demon?" said Kagome. As long as she knew, she thought her father had died.
"I'm serious Kagome," said Juro
She merely rolled her eyes, "Nonsense."
"Fine, watch when you go speak with your mother, you'll see." smiled Juro. He just didn't understand why she's so against this. She time travelled for kami's sake.
"Yes, I'll wait till that day" smiled Kagome heading inside the hut. A hot shower was direly needed.
*********END OF FLASHBACK*********
'Could he be telling the truth?' thought Kagome, and then her thoughts were interrupted by an ugly demon
"Give me the jewel!" it screeches. He had nasty yellow teeth that were peeking from a lumpy flesh that must be his lips. It was a green scaly demon with yellow eyes and red slits in the middle and it landed about 100 yards from Kagome
Kagome looked up and rolled her eyes completely ignoring the creature. "Juro! Your pets are here!" she called with a smirk
"Pet?" asked the demon "I'll show you pet, human Bitch!" it yelled out running toward Kagome
Kagome show no sign of moving, then the demon was lit up with blue fire cause by Shippou "FOX FIRE!" he yelled and the demon let out a wail, and then disappear.
"That was great Shippou," commented Kagome with a smile
Shippou puff up his chest and smiled widely "great Job Shippou, now let's finish those off," said Juro pointing to about 50 huge demons in the clearing.
"GIVE US THE JEWEL!" they cry
Kagome leaned back against the tree once again with her eyes closed while Shippou went to fight as Juro stood watching on the side line pointing out errors and correcting movements. About 15 minutes had passed and Shippou landed back to Juro and sheath his prize sword. "I'm bored, it's almost dinner, let's go hunt," said Shippou already heading into the forest knowing Juro will eventually catch up.
"Sure," smiled Juro "Kagome?"
"Hum?" she replied eyes still close
"Finish those off for us, we're going to find dinner for tonight," said Juro and disappeared within minutes.
Her eyes immediately snapped open "Wait a damn minute! You guys brought them here, you finish it!" she yelled but notice they were already gone "aaarrrggghhhhh!" she growled and then focused on the 10 remaining demons running toward her "get a life" mumbled Kagome
"THE JEWEL!" one screamed
"And also find another line" continued Kagome as she closed her eyes and leaned back, just about 30 yards from her, Kagome looked up "sayonara" she said with a smile and the demons were envelop with red fire, and they disappeared.
" I see that my mate left you to finish his dirty work" smile Ai "and I even bought my sword, you just killed all of them, not fair" pouted Ai
Kagome giggled "how were you going to do much damage with a fat belly?" asked Kagome
Ai looked down at her over size belly which look like she was having 8 kids and then looked back to Kagome and pouted "that's not fair, your time will come and then I will be the one that's doing all the laughing" smiled Ai as she headed back toward the hut
Kagome leaned back against the tree once again 'tomorrow, I'm going home to visit my family, then I'm going to try to get Sesshomaru to train me after being about a month late already' thought Kagome, the Sesshomaru's words played in her mind 'if you are not there by afternoon, there's no point in coming' Kagome sigh, I'll probably get my head cut off, but I got to try' and with that last though, Kagome went to the hut and started packing.
******AFTER DINNER******
"Kagome, where will I stay?" asked a sad Shippou
"You'll stay here honey, I'll only be gone for a week, then I'll come back for you and then we can head over Lord Sesshomaru's."
"You think he won't kill us?" asked Shippou
"Don't worry, he doesn't know how strong you've gotten, you'll protect me, right?"
"Of course!" smiled Shippou
"Good boy, let's get some rest, I'm leaving at dawn, you better behave" smiled Kagome
"Yes Okaa-san" smiled Shippou as he snuggled closer to Kagome
******AT DAWN******
Kagome slowly got up trying not to wake up Shippou. She took her packed bag and kissed Shippou on his forehead and tiptoe out of the hut. Kagome sensed Juro and smile "yes?" she asked with a smile
"I know you weren't about to leave without a goodbye," smiled Juro as he walked over to her and hug her
"You better stay safe out there, come back soon"
"I will, don't worry Juro" comforted Kagome
"I have a gift for you, will you rather have it when you come back?" he asked
"Yes, I'll see you in a week" said Kagome as she swiftly walked toward the forest.
**********SESSHOMARU*************
"It's been 4 months!" growled Sesshomaru "four months! And she's still in my head! She didn't even come for her training" mumble Sesshomaru
'My, aren't we a little moody' toyed his youkai
'Shut Up"
' Come on, don't be angry, just admit you like her'
'No'
'you've like her since you first met her in your father's tomb, remember? When she pulled out Tetsusaiga' (don't know if I spelled it right)
'No I do not like the human, worst, she's a miko'
'Sesshomaru, the sooner you admit you love her, the better and less frustrating this will be for you'
'First it was 'like', now you're claiming 'love'?' thought Sesshomaru disbelievingly
'You have become a stalker since that first fight, you would always find a way to see her'
'Non sense'
'I have proof'
'Do let me know' growled Sesshomaru
'When Inuyasha was slaughtering those bandits with no mercy, when he transformed, are you positive you only came to help Inuyasha, or you wanted to see her' said his youkai confidently
'I merely didn't want the hanyou to dishonor father's name'
'You're not being a very good Lord if you can't even get what you want'
'I don't want her!'
'I didn't say her...see! You do love her!"
Sesshomaru growled 'shut up' he finally said. He walked over to his bed and lay down looking at the midnight color ceiling with tiny stars embedded in it...'do I really love her?'
She could burn him to ash and is completely unpredictable, followed by trouble. It attracted him like glue. He loved dangerous things. He knows deep down, she is.
**********JAKEN**********
Jaken sat outside Sesshomaru's door and sigh for the 1000th time for 4 months straight. 'All Lord Sesshomaru's being doing it bite off people's head and growl and snarl at himself' thought Jaken 'what has gotten into my master?' thought Jaken as he headed back to his quarter
******** THE FUTURE & KAGOME*******
"Mom, I'm home!" called Kagome
"Oh, finally! I thought something happened!" screamed her mother hugging her tightly
"Why?"
"Inuyasha came and said that I lost you! And you don't know how sad I was honey! I cried for two months straight! OH god! I'm so happy you're fine!" cried Kagome's mother
"Mom, I'm fine, honestly" smiled Kagome but felt her pain. How could Inuyasha say such a thing? Taken so long to have visit didn't make it any better either.
"Then how come Inuyasha thought you were dead?"
"We'll talk it over when I eat," said Kagome
"Sure honey, I'll call you down for dinner" smiled her mother
"Okay, by the way, where's Souta and grandpa?" asked Kagome
"They went to an overnight soccer field trip Souta had to go to, since I wasn't myself for a while, I decided my father should go with him," smiled her mother
"I also have a couple of questions I need to ask you mom, I'm going to take a shower first," said Kagome heading toward her room
Kagome slowly opened her room and gasp, it was all black like back in the warehouse 'I need to really talk to mom,' she thought as she undressed and head toward the bathroom.
Kagome slipped into the hot water and leaned back so that everything but her face was underwater. 'Here I thought I would get here early and rest,' thought Kagome and sigh. 'Now is not the time to be thinking!' she motivated herself, `I'm here to get answers, go shopping, and then go back,' she thought
*********AFTER THE BATH********
Kagome went to her room and slipped on some silky black pajama with her fluffy black slippers and headed down to the kitchen. Kagome and her mom ate and then she helped her with the dishes.
"Kagome, you said you wanted to talk?" asked her mother
"Yea, hold on," said Kagome as she dried her hands and headed back to the living room where her mother was waiting for her with two cups of tea she had prepared.
"So what do you want to talk about?" her mother asked as soon as she walked into the room.
"Okay, first, what happened to my room?" asked Kagome
"Oh, Taki said you love black and that pink didn't go along with you, so they came and re-painted it," smiled her mother. Last time you came, I can tell you really weren't yourself so I thought why not. A surprise for when you visited again.
'How nice,' thought Kagome with a smile imagining the mess they could have caused, "So you said Inuyasha came here 2 months ago?" asked Kagome taking a sip.
"Yes, it was really early when he came..."
*********FLASHBACK********
BUMP. BUMP. BUMP. BUMP. BUMP
"Kami, I'm coming," mumbled Kagome's mother rubbing her tired eyes.
She opened the door and she saw Inuyasha in front of the door, which was looking as calmly as ever. "Oh my, why are you here so early Inuyasha, banging on the door like that." She asked as she walked a little further into the house allowing Inuyasha entry. "And where's Kagome" she finally asked seeing no one walking in after him.
"That's why I'm here-" he paused for a moment or for emphasis. "I'm really sorry, but we got attacked not too long ago and Kagome didn't make it," Inuyasha lied smoothly. He wouldn't have known for sure seeing that he neglected her and left her for dead.
"What you mean she didn't make it, what happened to my baby Inuyasha! Aren't you suppose to protect her!" she started to yelled, by that time Grampa came rushing down.
"I'm really sorry, Kagome is dead, there wasn't anything I could do, and there were a lot of complications. I'm sorry to tell you this, but I must go, the rest of the group are recovering from injuries," said Inuyasha as he disappear into the well house leaving a broken woman on her knees in front of the opened door being comforted by the old man while glaring at Inuyasha's back.
*********END OF FLASHBACK*********
"He just left, just like that" said Kagome's mother and sniffed while she wiped her tears from the memory. Kami knew how much she cried, how much she wanted to jump into the well and beat Inuyasha up for failing and for the way he treated them afterwards. "So tell me, why did he assume you were dead?"
"Because I was pushed of a cliff," said Kagome. Might as well get it all out, there's no point in protecting someone who wanted you dead. Plus, since that incident, her life had taken a different turn. It is time to be honest with herself and others.
Her mother gasp in horror, "WHAT?"
Kagome told her the whole story from when she got back until today leaving all the details of her painful training with a mere 'boot camp training' and of her demon blood for last.
"My, god blesses those couple," smiled her mother
"Mom, I have some more questions, where's dad?" asked Kagome
That was absolutely not what she would have ever thought her daughter would ask in a million years thus leaving her stammering for an answer she had practiced a thousand times before. Shocked couldn't even describe her current feelings," he is...he is...he-"
"Tell me mom, is he dead?" He mother didn't stutter...it made no sense, 'he's dead' is what she expected to hear. I mean, a long time ago, didn't she say so? Now Kagome felt confuse. She had stopped asking about her father for as long as she could remember, she's sure he was dead.
"No"
Kagome was shocked. "Where is he then!" screamed Kagome
"He's here," she whispered solemnly.
Kagome got angry "here? Where? I grew up thinking my dad is dead! Now you're telling me he's actually here and alive? For kami's sake he lives just hours away!"
"He lives about 2 hours from here Kagome,"
"How come you never told me.? And how come he doesn't live here?" said Kagome
"I thought it would be better for you powers to lay dormant and have a normal life. I didn't want any of this for you Kagome!" yelled her mother
"What power? Is that why I have that freakish mark on my neck!" asked Kagome getting angrier. What person thinks it's better to have a child thinking their biological parent is dead rather than face reality that she wasn't normal?
"Yes," she thought about her move as a mistake a long time ago, but how could she suddenly bring up that their father was still alive, not to mention, the feelings she tried burying deep down but can never go away. There was a reason why they said some demons mated for life. All hope was lost when Kagome fell down the well, but then it was her heart and pride that kept from reaching out.
"So, you could have still kept me from knowing of my powers, why was dad sent away?" asked Kagome
"It wasn't easy, Kagome, You have two powerful demon blood, if your father was near, none of them would want to stay silent, as you matured, he's powers would have called upon yours, so I finally convinced him to move away, I did this to protect you!"
"No you didn't! How can you think that erasing a father from the child is a good way to protect them, you were being selfish! How do you think he must have felt, not being able to hold his child after she was born?"
"Is Souta my full brother?" asked Kagome
"Of course!" her mother replied
"How? Do you sneak to meet with dad?" asked Kagome
"No, not anymore, after I had you, then I couldn't stay away from your father, a couple years after, I realize I was pregnant with Souta by your father, but unlike you, Souta was born human as far as I know," said her mother. She still think if 'He' was to start coming around, Souta's powers, if he possess any might awaken.
"Well mom, guess what? I know of my powers," Kagome said exasperated.
"What? How?" asked her mother in shock. There should be no way. Only if she were to get in contact with a kin should her powers be awakening unless..." then Inuyasha's story ringed into her head.
"Remember in my little story, I said I put a red barrier without knowing it, well that was my demonic power mother, now you might as well call dad because I need to talk to him," said Kagome not trying to express how angry and hot she currently felt.
"Kagome I can't"
"Why not?"
"Because...how do you think Souta will feel?"
"Well, you didn't think much about that before telling him father died when he's actually alive. I'm sure he'll be fine...ecstatic even, I know Souta. I want to talk to dad, I can't believe I lived a life full of lies, but then again, I was the stupid one, I never once asked you how dad died," said Kagome as she headed to her room not looking back. She was too angry at the moment.
"Kagome, please forgive me!" said her mother
"I'm going to sleep," was all she said as she headed to her room and shut the door. "I will find my father if you don't. " she mumbled to herself.
DUH! DUH! DUH! If I was Kagome in this story, I would be mad too! Well finally I have update! Took me a long time to write this chapter! REVIEW!
EXPLANATION: Kagome's father always watched over her without her knowing it of course. You can only keep a demon away from their child for so long. Her friends from the warehouse know, but they couldn't tell her since she would go look for him and then everything with time would have change. Inuyasha stayed calmly as he tells Kagome's mother the news, not because he was sad or angry, just because he didn't really care. By the way I didn't forget about the rest of the gang, or Sesshomaru, or Kagome's friends from the warehouse.
REVIEW! Thank you reading!
