Chapter 5

A Panicked Hanyou and A Night In the Future…

That morning…

"Hey I'm home." Reikou said to see if anyone would wake up, no one had awakened that whole night so none of them knew of her presences.

"Hmm, I say that there are some love birds in a tree!" She said to her self aloud.

Reikou climbed the tree and found Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Huh, Reikou you're here!" Kagome was a little shocked and embarrassed. Kagome had been awake for a good while watching the sun rise.

"Yep…" She said cheerfully.

"Umm… Can I ask you something? Can you help me down?" Kagome asked a little embarrassed.

"Shore of course I can!" Kagome climbed on Reikous back.

"Ok, hold on!"

"Ok." And down they went.

*~**~*LATER THAT DAY*~**~*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~*~*~DREAM MODE!!!~*~*~

"Inuyasha, Inuyasha?" A voice enticingly called.

"Huh? What's going on? Where am I?" Inuyasha started to panic.

"Inuyasha, your mine, prepare to die!" The voice screamed as the figure lunged forward and stabbed Inuyasha in the gut as the dagger was twisted a hug river of blood poured to the cold ground as he looked into his killers eyes…

"Reikou..!" And there, right before Inuyashas eyes was the killer…his own sister.

~*~*~END DREAM MODE!!!~*~*~

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha awoke yelling.

"Aaaaahhhhhh!!" He was sweating hard now.

"Inuyasha what's wrong?" Reikou panicked climbing the tree.

"Huh? O, n-nothing I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

"Inuyasha?" Reikou sighed with worry.

"Really I'm fine! Why don't you ever trust me?"

"Because every time I do you always lie to me!" Reikou said as she walked to the edge of the branch and sat down.

"Well, that's changed. Now, I'm fine, and I don't lie as much, so don't worry about me I'll be fine."

"Ok, but if I-" She was cut off by Inuyasha.

"What did I say? Don't worry, I swear, there's nothing wrong."

"Ok, just remember I'm here for you." Reikou assured him then kissed him on the forehead.

"Love yah bro." Reikou gave him a hug; Inuyasha hugged her back and whispered.

"Same here Reikou."

"Inuyasha, I have a personal question for you." Reikou turned away for a moment. Inuyashas ears pinned back.

"I was wondering do you love Kagome by any chance?" Inuyasha was shocked at the question.

"WHAT! Where did you get that idea?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Umm. Let's see… Aha! When she was in your lap, the way you speak and look at her when you are alone." She paused for a moment.

"Shall I go on?" she asked him with s slight grin across her face, her ears twitched a bit before he answered.

"No!! It's ok I've heard enough."

"I knew it! I was right! You do!" She said smiling.

"Did you tell her yet?"

"Not really…" He looked down at where she was, making breakfast.

"Why don't you? I think you two would make a good couple!"

"Yah, well I don't know, why would she like a Hanyou like me?"

"Shall I break the ice for you?"

"No! I can do it myself!"

"O, really?"

"Yes, and you just watch me!"

"Ok big bro, I'm waiting…"

"Not now!"

"Right I'll be waiting for the weddin bells!" Reikou teased.

{Sometimes I really hate her.} Inuyasha said to himself.

"What are wedding bells?" Inuyasha asked as his ears pricked forward.

"Its something That Kagomes people do when there courting or something like that, I didn't really follow her in the hot spring." Reikou said as she jumped down from the tree.

*~**~*LATER THAT DAY*~**~*

"Kagome, do you really have to go?" Shippou was disappointed that Kagome had to leave.

"Yes Shippou, it's only going to be one night. I've got to go take those tests there finals tomorrow, and if I don't pass I fail the grade." Shippou looked down disappointed. Kagome was mad at herself for making him sad.

"How about this, I'll go today and stay out the rest of the week, does that sound good too you?"

"Yep, that's great!" Shippou was happy now.

"Now make shore to tell everyone that, ok?"

"Ok." Shippou said with a shrug.

"Kagome, why don't you tell them yourself?"

"Because if I tell Inuyasha that I was going now he would never let me go like usual."

"O, ok. Bye Kagome."

"See yah later Shippou!"

On her way through the woods she was half way to the well when Reikou confronted her.

"Hey, where are you going? Kagome! Wait!" Reikou said just before they reached the well.

"Huh, Reikou! Hey what's up?"

"Nothing much. But anyway, where are you going?"

"O, I'm going home."

"Looks like you're going to that old well to me..."

"Well, really I am. To tell you the truth, how do I explain this?"

"Ask Inuyasha. He can tell you."

"But I can't find him at this moment he said he'd be back later."

"O, ok but only once…"

Kagome told her the story to make shore that Reikou was not confused.

"Wow! Really, can I come with you?" Reikou asked like her life depended on it.

"Well I don't know."

"Please? Pretty please? I promise I won't make a mess I can sleep on the floor I don't even eat that much!" Reikou was on her knees now, begging to go.

"Well I guess but only for tonight!" Reikou was overjoyed!

"Yes, Yahoo, I can go!" So down the well they went.

*~**~*!!MEAN WHILE!!*~**~*

"Where the hell is she?" Inuyasha snarled thinking of Kagome as he went into Keades hut…

"Ok this is great now, where are THEY??" Inuyasha was worried now that both Kagome and Reikou were now missing.

"REIKOU, KAGOME WHERE ARE YOU!" He demanded.

"Save your breath, they aren't here." Shippou called from a tree outside of the hut.

"Well I kinda figured that!" Inuyasha was getting annoyed now.

"Reikou went with Kagome to her time for the night." Shippou said in a light voice hoping that Inuyasha would not hear.

"WHAT!!!!" Inuyasha was pissed now.

"That's it I'm going after them!" Then Inuyasha ran into the forest towards the bone eaters well. Shippou just sat there in the tree watching him run.

*~**~*MEAN WHILE*~**~*

"Wow! Your house is amazing!" Reikou exclaimed.

"Yah, now walk through quickly and fast ok so hold on here…"

"Hey mom, I'm home! I brought a friend from the past and she's staying the night k? Thanks!"

"Wait, Kagome!" Her mother only got those two words in and then Kagome fled with Reikou up stairs to her room.

"Do you always do that to your mother?" Reikou asked puzzlingly.

"Na, not all the time; are you hungry? Do you want some ramen?" Kagome asked politely and she was actually very happy that Reikou was there.

"Umm… I'm fine but if it's dinner time I'll join you or stay here and eat. I don't want to intrude." Reikou inquired.

"O, it's ok, I'll eat in here with you then!" Kagome was relieved that she would be ok eating in her room.

"Hold on one sec, be right back with dinner! You can look around if you want."

"Um, Ok." Reikou replied happily. Then Reikou heard something outside by the well.

"Now, who could that be?" she opened the wind and smelt the air.

"Why is he here?!" Reikou sounding like a spoiled brat.

"Hey here yah go." Kagome came in the room and sat down on her bed.

"Huh, o thanks!"

"Why were you looking out my window?" Kagome asked looking at her window wide open.

"O, I'm sorry; it's just that I heard something by the well house." Reikou put her head down like she did something wrong and closed the window.

"It's ok. What was it?" Reikou shot up her head happily just after she said that.

"Ok, who was it? O, yeah, its Inuyasha!" Reikou replied happily.

"WHAT!! How did he know that I was gone?" Kagome was panicking.

"Easy Kagome, I'm shore he just wants to know where I am! And plus, remember you told Shippou to tell him, which as I came to find you I ran into him also and he told me, so I wanted to know where you live and here we are!" Reikou was only hoping for she smelt anger in the air while reassuring her.

"NOCK"

"NOCK"

"NOCK"

Both the girls look towards the window. It was Inuyasha sitting there with his sour face on like always.

"Reikou where have you been? I've been searching all over for both of you!! Open this damn window thing now!!" Inuyasha demanded pounding on the window.

"Do you think I should let him in Kagome?" Reikou asked as she turned to Kagome.

"I guess otherwise he's going to break the window."

"Hey bro what's up?" Reikou said as she opened the window while Inuyasha fell inside.

"A lot of things and one of them is you being gone!" He yelled.

"Hey, hey easy now I only wanted to have some fun, like leaving Sengoku Jidai behind and going to the future!" Then Sota came in.

"Inuyasha!! You're here!"

"O, NO!" Inuyasha said aloud.

"Sota get out of my room!!!"

"Fine! But he has to come with me!" Kagome smiled evilly at Inuyasha.

"Kagome… What are you thinking?" Inuyasha asked in fear.

"Ok Sota, he's all yours!"

"Cool!!"

"Noooo!!!!! Kagome!"

"Inuyasha."

"Yes…"

"I have one thing to say to you."

"AND THAT IS…" Inuyashas patients were growing thin.

"Osuwari!" Inuyasha slammed into the floor.

"He's all yours Sota!"

"Thanks sis!"

"You're welcome!"

"Kagome, do you always do this to him?" Reikou asked confused.

"Well sometimes, come on we should go to bed now, do you want to sleep in my bed?"

"No thanks I prefer the floor."

"Ok, are you shore?"

"Yep."

"Wow you were right; you are easy to take care of!" Kagome exclaimed, both of the girls laughed.

*~**~*THAT MORNING*~**~*

"Good morning Kagome!" Reikou chimed as she sat in the window.

"Good morning Reikou. How's Inuyasha? Or have you gone to see him yet?"

"I haven't gone yet do you want to come to see what he's doing to your little brother?"

"Shore!" Kagome said cheerfully.

"Sota, Sota? Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she searched the room.

"I don't know really. He ran off in the middle of the night."

"O, no he didn't he's-" Reikou paused for a moment smelling the air.

"In there!" she exclaimed pointing towards the closet.

Kagome opened the closet, Inuyasha was sitting in there wide awake like some had just attacked him!

"Hey bro, what's up why are you in there?"

"I'm hiding from that!" Inuyasha pointed over to Sota.

"O, come on you scarredy-cat!" Reikou pulled him out of the closet and left the room and threw Inuyasha on her back.

"Thanks for letting me stay the night Kagome; I'm shore Inuyasha thanks you to!"

"Speak for yourself!" Inuyasha grumbled.

"You're welcome! Come any time!"

"Ok thanks!"

"Wait aren't you going to stay for breakfast?"

"Nah, I think we can scrounge up somthin to eat. But thanks anyway! Bye!"
