Kagome's Ancestor
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: Why can't I own Inu-chan? I love him so much… Why does Takahashi Rumiko have to own 'em? ::cries::
"Kagome… keep it down." Shippo oblivious to everything was still trying to sleep.
"Shippo, wake up. I need your help for a second." Kagome said as she started to nudge him slightly.
"Yawn. Ok Kago… Nani???" Shippo started to wake up, but found himself staring at a foxtail. "Kagome, is that you?"
"Hai, Shippo." Kagome said weakly as she felt herself starting to faint.
"KAGOME!!!!" Everyone shouted as she fainted and in a blink of an eye Inuyasha was there catching her head before gently setting her the rest of the way down.
"Miroku, get me a cold, wet cloth. Everyone else just calm down and wait." Inuyasha ordered calmly as he positioned Kagome so she wasn't lying on her tail. 'So that's where the weak kitsune smell was coming from last night.' "Come on now Kagome. Wake up." Softly Inuyasha talked to Kagome, slight worry hinting in his voice "You are stronger than this. You have dealt with worse." Just then Miroku returned and handed him the cloth, which he preceded to place on Kagome's forehead.
After a few minutes Kagome started to stir. "That's right Kagome. It's time to wake up." Inuyasha said as he slowly backed away from Kagome to avoid having her scream again.
"Huh? What happened?" Kagome said softly as she started to sit back up.
"You just had a slight shock. I guess anyone would if they just woke up one day to find out they are part kitsune." Inuyasha stated calmly hoping she wouldn't faint again.
"Oh is that all… Nani???? Part kitsune??? Nande???" Kagome stared at Inuyasha as she waited for his answer even though it was obvious how.
"Someone in your family must be a kitsune and judging by the strength of the scent it must be someone fairly close. I smelled a slight kitsune scent coming from your direction last night, but I thought it was just Shippo since he curls up so close to you. I guess I was wrong." Inuyasha put his usual disinterested face on while telling Kagome everything he could figure out.
"Inuyasha, could you please carry me to the well? You are faster than us and I want to know why I'm like this as soon as possible. Everyone else can continue to Kaede's and hopefully by the time they arrive there I should be back. I'm begging you. I need to know." Kagome started to look like she was going to cry as she finished her case.
"Don't cry wench. I'll carry you." Inuyasha proceeded to pick her up.
"I'd like to change first and maybe fix some breakfast for everyone, including you."
"Fine wench." Inuyasha dropped her down onto her sleeping bag hard.
"Ouch. That hurt. Osuwari" As Kagome stood up Inuyasha started on a string of curses that would make a sailor blush. "Miroku-sama, could you get me some water? Sango and Shippo-chan, lets gather some more firewood so we can fix breakfast."
"Ok Kagome." Everyone replied as they started on their tasks.
"Shippo???" Sitting off to the side Kagome called for the young kitsune.
"Hai, Kagome-chan. What's wrong?" Looking up to see her worried face he sat in her lap and gave her a big smile hoping to cheer her up.
"It's this…" She points to her tail that is currently lying on her right leg. "And this." pointing to her slit eyes.
"I don't see the big deal. You are still Kagome. It just means that you are kinda like me now." As he finishes he smiles in his cute little way before hoping off her lap.
"Shippo-chan…"
"Hai."
"Arigato"
"Ja minna." Kagome called over her shoulder as Inuyasha raced for the well. "Inuyasha, you never told me what you think about all this."
"What's there to think? You're still you. Youkai blood won't change that."
"Arigato, Inuyasha." From his back she gives him a big hug. "That was so nice of you."
"Feh" Turning his head to hide a slight blush he notices that the well is just ahead. "We're almost there. Do you want me to come with you?"
"I'd like that Inuyasha. Arigato."
They arrived at the well a moment later and Inuyasha jumped in. Within seconds the familiar blue glow that showed that the well was taking them to Kagome's time appeared. As Inuyasha landed on the otherside he heard someone approaching.
"Who is it Inuyasha? Can you tell?"
"So you heard it too. I guess your hearing has improved too." Taking a quick sniff he could tell it Sota and jiichan. "It's Sota and ojiisan. Are you ready for this?"
"Hai, I'm ready." As soon as the words left Kagome's mouth Inuyasha was jumping out of the well with Kagome still on his back.
"I'm home…" When Sota and jiichan look up expecting to see Kagome, but what they see surprises them.
"Oneechan, is that you?" Sota looks slightly puzzled to see his sister with a tail.
~She has found out. I'm going to have to tell them everything now. Why couldn't this have waited two more years?~ "Come inside. I'll explain everything to you. Sota, you should come to. It involves you also." Putting Kagome down Inuyasha starts walking towards the shrine house with Kagome close behind.
Upon entering the house Kagome's mother enters the main hall to see what she had hoped she wouldn't see anytime soon. Her daughter had discovered her youkai heritage. "I guess its time. I'll fix some tea and then join you. Why don't you go ahead and start?"
Jiichan just nods before heading into the family room with Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sota close behind. "Sit down. It's going to be a long story and you might want to get comfortable."
