Chapter 53: Yura Again

It was around lunch when Kagome appeared at the house. She was going to wait it out there. She felt the well change a bit.

"Oh not now." She groaned looking in the well house. The well was glowing bright blue. She walked back up to the house. "Ugh… either my family wants me or I'm just getting paranoid about all this." She told her father.

"Why? Is it the well?" Her father asked. They sat down on the couch.

"Yea. They better be careful. Yura pushed me down the well when I went there. Maybe Yumi won't get pushed down. I hope not because I don't want her stuck in my time."

"I don't know. Does it emit that aura on the other side too?"

"I don't know." She said.

"It might not, then she'll end up here."

"Yea. Its just risky taking this chance."

'Yumi?'

'Yes?'

'Don't go anywhere near the well for a while. I'll tell you when. No matter what don't go by it. Stay in the village and near Inuyasha. I'm going to give your strength back, Yura will attack the village soon and you'll need it.'

'Ok Hitomi.'

"Henjo Tenka Kengen." Kagome said.

"Who did you release?" Her father asked.

"Yumi. Yura will attack soon. I told her not to go anywhere near the well for a while. The village got pretty messed up that day with Yura. She'll need her strength. Even Inuyasha had trouble with her."

"Wow."

"But that was also one of the first people we fought too. So I could see why…. Do you think I should go help them?"

"You should at least go watch over them I think."

"But how do divert the well. I swear, it opens to my time at the worst of times for me."

"What year is it there anyway?"

"Hmm… lets see the first time I went it was 1981 here and 1999 there, so there's a 18 year difference…" She muttered. "Ah! Its 2014 there."

"Oh, not that big of a gap. If you compare it to the Feudal Era one I mean, but still there's a big gap."

"Yea. That means Souta is… 27?! I didn't know that he would be that old. That means if I was still human and there I would be… eek! 33! And probably be married to a weird guy!"

Her father chuckled. "And Inuyasha isn't weird?"

"I'm not saying that, but I think I know the guy's name I would be married to. And he tried to court me during my visits to the Feudal Era…. Dang, when Inuyasha found out, you did not want to be around him. I almost had to kill him." She looked towards the well. "I think it stopped. I'll go check."

She ran out to the well house but it was still emitting the blue aura. She walked back up to the house. "Its loosing it, but its still there." She sighed. "I really want to go make sure they're ok."

"I know you do."

Her eyes widened. "I gotta go get something from home before I go."

He smiled as she ran out. She ran at the fastest speed she could manage. She burst into the house. Inuyasha was working at the kitchen table on his laptop and jumped when she came in.

"Mate! Don't break the house! And I thought you left already." He said.

"No, the well wants to bring me to my time right now. Inuyasha, where's your old haori?"

"Why?"

"Because. I want to use it incase something happens when we're fighting Yura. I gave mine to Yumi."

"Its in my top dresser drawer, on the right. Will it fit you?" He asked getting up and following her into the bedroom. She found it. "You want the hakamas too?"

"No, I think it'll freak your younger self out too much." She said attempting to put it on. He helped her and tied it together. "This is light. No wonder you liked it so much."

"Yea, and I'd wear it now too if I wouldn't look so weird."

She smiled and looked at herself in the mirror. She liked it.

"Thanks mate." She said and kissed him.

"You go kick that girl's ass. I had enough of her that day. Not to mention you almost shot me with the arrow!"

"Don't remind me."

"You want the Tetsusaiga? In case?"

"Sure. I know she won't be that hard. But its always good."

She followed him into his closet and he unlocked a safe and then another fire proof case; handed it to her. She unsheathed it a bit and it started to transform. It looked like it always did.

"When did you work on it? I haven't seen you with it out lately."

"Last week. I did it while the kids were out so they wouldn't try to kill me with it again."

She chuckled. "You do have to be more careful of that mate. I don't want them blowing up Tokyo because they want to see their father's sword."

"I know. You better go mate."

"Right. I'll see you tonight." She gave him a quick kiss and ran off again. She pinned it to her waist and took her katana out and pinned it to her waist as well. She looked in the well house and it was still faintly blue. 'Damn, I gotta get there soon.'

'Yumi?'

'Yes?'

'Has Yura attacked yet?'

'No, but there are bodies of people floating around with weapons.'

'That's her. I'll be there soon. Stay away from the well still.'

'Ok. Hurry.'

She went back in the house. Her father was in a reclining chair. "Oh so that's what you went to get. Is the well still not ready yet?"

"No and it better be soon, Yura is starting her attack…. I brought the Tetsusaiga though. Just in case."

"That's good. You might need it."

She gasped. "Its ready. I'll be back soon. Bye father."

"Be safe!"

"I will. Don't worry!" She yelled running out of the house and jumped into the well. 'Sister?'

'Huh?'

'How bad is it?'

'Bad! Inuyasha is pinned to a tree by her hair.'

'I'm coming, the well is safe again.'

She jumped out and saw a ton of the hair around. "God, why me?" She took out the Tetsusaiga and started to cut the hair to make a path. She ran towards the village. Inuyasha was indeed pinned to a tree.

"Inuyasha. Stay still." She yelled running up to him. She cut the tree unclean so the hair would go slack. It did and he fell down chocking. Yumi came out.

"Are you ok?!"

"Yea. Woow. Is that it? The Tetsusaiga I mean?"

"Yea…. Uh-uh-uh! No touchy! You get your turn in a few days mister."

"Come on!"

"No. Now lets get this over with. Yura! Oh Yura of the Hair? Where are you?" She quieted her voice. "Inuyasha. She wants your head, she likes your hair color. Provoke her. Get her out here." She gasped. "Come with me to the well. Now!"

They followed her. "Inuyasha, be careful, only me and Yumi can see the hair right now. There she is!"

"So you brought the half demon here. Thank you. I want your hair Inuyasha. Its so beautiful."

She unsheathed the Tetsusaiga again. "I'll rip your head clean off Yura!"

"Oh, your hair is pretty too, not as pretty as his though."

"Whatever."

"Why aren't you killing her?!"

"Because she'll just regenerate. I have to get to her lair." She whispered lowly.

"Where is it?"

"I don't remember! Its been 500 years! Gah!"

"Look, lets try and sniff it out."

"I don't like secrets. And I want all of your hair!" She said tightening the strands. Kagome ripped them apart. "Aren't you a feisty one?"

She growled deep. She thought to something and sheathed the Tetsusaiga.

"What are you doing?!" Inuyasha asked.

"This." She transformed into a 50' dog.

"Oh my." He said.

"Sis, I didn't know you were that big!"

"You should see Sesshoumaru." She barked and growled at Yura. Her mane started to glow, then she opened her mouth and shot at her. "Inuyasha, find it! Go! Now! I'll hold her off!"

He nodded and grabbed a hold of Yumi and started running. They found the giant hair ball soon and Kagome ran after their scent. She transformed back when she saw them. "Ok, move." She said to them, they backed up. Kagome unsheathed the Tetsusaiga. "Wind Scar!" She yelled! And it hit the hair ball, but didn't completely destroy it. "Hurry, look for the red skull!"

They started looking then Yura showed up. "What have you done?!"

"Sis! I found it!"

"Good, get off of there now! Both of you and take it with you!"

She nodded and slid down like the other two.

"No!"

"Set it on the ground now and get away!"

The Tetsusaiga turned red and she crashed it down and it broke in two. Inuyasha and Yumi were stunned.

"That's not even ½ it's power."

"You're kidding."

"No." She crystallized it. They got wide eyed. "Don't worry. I won't hurt you with it." She put it back in its sheath for the final time. "I don't know when it got used last like that…. Maybe…. 1738. I'm surprised it worked so well still. My mate isn't the best sword smith…. Maybe I should take it to Toutousai soon. Once you meet him so he won't think I broke into your father's tomb and stole it early."

"Its in my father's tomb?!"

"Yea. You'll be amazed at it too. Just think about protecting her and you can get it out. Don't worry. Just don't let your brother touch it. At all!"

"Why would I?"

"You'd be amazed. We better get back." They started back and Kagome told him more about some of the things they've done. "I better get going. You too. I'll be back tomorrow. Be ready Inuyasha, don't be fooled. Sesshoumaru will bring a demon that looks like your mother, exactly. Don't fall for it. No matter what. She will trick you and will hurt you. You almost died that day, if it wasn't for me."

He sighed. "Fine."

"If you have any questions later just come to the modern era. You know where to find me." She said and jumped down the well. She got back into the house and sank onto the couch. Her father came into the room.

"Rough?"

"Not exactly. I just used a lot of the Tetsusaiga's power. I haven't used it like this before." She said ½ asleep almost.

He smiled and kissed her cheek. Then he went to go call his son-in-law to tell him that she was all right.

Kagome woke up in her own bed, at her own house. She looked over at the clock and it read '5:23 pm'. She got up, and found out she still had the fire rat haori on. She took it off and walked into the kitchen. No one was in there so she went into the living room. The kids were on the sofa and on a chair watching TV, but Inuyasha was no where.

"Where's your father Muteki?"

"How should I know?"

"Ugh." 'He definitely picked that up from him.'

"He was outside last I knew mom." Reijin said.

"Thank you." She said and walked outside. She was still in her youkai form. 'Oh damn!' "Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka." She looked around to make sure no one saw her and sighed of relief.

She walked around the back of the house and found him in a tree, but near the bottom. "What are you doing up there?" She asked. He nearly fell out and she giggled.

"DON"T DO THAT!" He yelled.

"Well looks like you were in deep thought. Henjo Tenka Kengen Omomuki" She jumped into the tree near him. "What's up?"

"Nothin."

"Don't look like nothin to me. When I scare you, you are usually in too deep of thought to notice me being there."

"No, I just didn't hear you coming."

She rolled her eyes and thought 'Yea right. I'm not that stupid.' "So how'd I get home?"

"I came and got you. Your father told me that you passed out on the couch after using the Tetsusaiga too much. What did you do?"

"I used the red Tetsusaiga once, the Wind Scar once, an mostly just normal sword swinging stuff."

"I don't know why it did that to you."

"I also used my true form to distract her. Your younger self is easily amused by me now. I'll teach Yumi how to transform soon too…." Her eyes widened. "Oh god."

"What?"

"I never turned her human again. Eeek! I'm dead." 'Yumi?'

'Huh?'

'Are you doing anything important?'

'I'm not coming home.'

'No, no. I just wanted to give you your human self back.'

'No, I want it like this.'

'Can you handle it?'

'…I don't know.'

'I'll change you back for right now, so you won't transform. No one knows how to calm you down there.'

"Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka."

'Thank you sis. Oh and thank you for the help this afternoon too. Inuyasha even said thanks too. I heard him.'

'Tell him he's welcome then.'

"Your younger self is starting to like me more I think, but he better love Yumi and not me. He isn't getting me, exactly. I'm already mated." She said happily while sitting in Inuyasha's lap.

"Can I come tomorrow?" He asked.

"Why you want to whoop your brother or something?"

"Yea."

"You know you can't, but I will let you come if you want. He'll get a real shock."
