The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...
By: Msmelanie
Chapter Fifty One: NARAKU'S LAW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Higurashi watched as Sota, Kouga and everyone from the past came to sit down. "It's nice to see you all again."
"Likewise." Miroku replied.
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her watch. "Do you mind if we eat dinner first before we begin?"
Inuyasha growled at her, but shutted up once Kagome stomped on his foot underneath the table.
"Of course we don't mind, momma." Kagome smiled.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled back at her daughter. She just couldn't help it. It had been so long since her daughter smiled so brightly.
Everyone quietly sat and ate their food, while Kouga kept sharing glances at Inuyasha.
"What?!" Inuyasha barked out finally.
Kagome stomped on his foot again.
Inuyasha ignored it though, while he looked over at Kouga. "What do you want?" he growled.
"Kawayou." Kouga replied.
Inuyasha instantly sat up in his chair. "You can't have him!!"
"No you stupid mutt! I mean talk about him!" Kouga shouted back.
"Inuyasha, don't make me say it." Kagome warned as she stuck some meat into her mouth.
Inuyasha sat back down and looked over at the wolf. "What is it?"
Kawayou who was sitting on his mother's lap looked over at them. Why did they want to talk about him?
"You said something earlier." Kouga stated as he finished his last piece of meat. "About Naraku messing with Kawayou's demon skills. What did you mean?"
Inuyasha just poked at his food on his plate. "We're not talking about this right now."
Kouga frowned and got up from the kitchen. "It was a lovely dinner Lady Higurashi."
"Why, thank you so much." Mrs. Higurashi blushed.
"'Why, thank you so much.'" Inuyasha mocked until Kagome whapped him beside the head. "What was that for?!"
"Don't be rude!" Kagome shouted.
"Kagome dear." Mrs. Higurashi began. "Please don't hit your husband-to-be at the table."
Inuyasha grinned so wide at that announcement that both his fangs were showing, while Kagome got very red and looked at Mrs. Higurashi angrily. "Mother!"
Mrs. Higurashi just softly laughed at her daughter. "Kagome, calm down and finish eating. Then we can talk about other things, okay?"
Kagome frowned as she began eating again.
After everyone finished eating, they all headed into the living room.
"Okay now." Mrs. Higurashi said as she sat down on her chair. "Kagome-"
"Tell us what's been goin' on with you!" Souta chirped happily.
"No, you tell US what's been going on!" Inuyasha barked.
*Bonk*
Inuyasha grabbed his head as he looked angrily at Miroku.
"We will eventually hear everything, Inuyasha." Miroku began. "So, if you don't mind, I believe it would be best to start from the beginning."
Kagome agreed with Miroku. Her family was still alive, and it looked like they were just fine still, so it wouldn't hurt to begin...
but there was this one thing she didn't want Kawayou to be around for.
Of course, Inuyasha was thinking the same thing. "Hey kid, why don't you show me around this place." he said eyeing Souta. "Specifically, where the **** Sesshoumaru is."
Souta seemed a bit surprised but lead Inuyasha away while the hanyou grabbed Kawayou and Shippou
"Hey, why are you taking us?!" Kawayou shouted.
Inuyasha ignored him as he followed Souta through the back rooms.
Kagome sighed in relief. 'Okay, now that that is out of the way.' "Well, it all began when Kawayou got injured and we carried him over to the other side of the well..."
Half an hour later....
"...and so since it was bogus, all I wanted to do was to return back to Kaede's and forget everything. Shortly after that, we discovered your letter." Kagome said, finally finishing her story.
Her mother seemed quite amazed at her daughter's story. "Goodness..."
"Wow, you have had almost as much excitement as we have." Souta said wide- eyed.
Kagome looked at her brother wearily. "What do you mean almost as much?"
To the room temporarily designated as the hanyou's half-brother's...
"-and after I finish doing that with your mangled up body, I should-!" Inuyasha continued to rant to the injured Sesshoumaru lying on a bed.
"Will you stop your excessive rant." Sesshoumaru replied. "Half-breeds, you're only good for cursing and ranting. Horrible fighters."
"Hey, I wasn't the one who made that ****ed up wish!" Inuyasha yelled again.
Shippou and Kawayou both sighed as they looked at Jacken.
"Man." Kawayou groaned. "I can't believe it was just YOU two I sensed."
Jacken just frowned at the quarter demon.
"Geez..." Kawayou sighed. "So that poor slouch on the bed was the power I sensed, but you were like, most of the evil."
"Silence! You should be thanking us! Because of Lord Sesshoumaru and I you, you stupid brat, you were kept safe!" Jacken shouted. 'Although I would have rather-'
"Wow, you've gone over five hundred years looking like that?" Kawayou said disgustedly, interrupting Jacken's own thoughts.
"I think you should've just killed yourself to save yourself from your own grief." Shippou commented.
"Brats! How dare you! Are you saying THAT to the assistant to the great Mr. Sesshoumaru is ugly?!" Jacken shouted.
"Butt ugly!" Kawayou and Shippou laughed at him.
"Rin agree! Jacken ugly! Jacken always ugly!"
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he had just heard. He stopped his useless ranting and looked over to the door where a small child named Rin stood. "What in the-?"
Sesshoumaru just sighed at his brother. As if his tirading wasn't worse enough already.
Inuyasha looked at the little girl, then back at his brother, then back at the little girl...then back at his brother.
"Come on already, half-breed." Sesshoumaru said exhaustively. "Ask the question already."
Inuyasha opened his mouth and pointed to the child. "How?" Then, he finally found his voice. "How the **** is your little worshipper still alive, huh?!" He looked at her up and down. "And ****, she's not even the right age? What is she, like six? Eight?!"
Sesshoumaru just stared at the wall. "After she made the wish, she fell. She never died, but she never aged." He looked back at Inuyasha. "I had to reverse the wish to bring her back to normal."
Inuyasha's mouth opened wide as he looked at his brother. "You mean, your wish...YOUR wish..." He looked at his brother angrily. "Was just to ****ing bring back your little follower?!"
"..." Sesshoumaru didn't know if he wanted to answer that or not.
"Well?!" Inuyasha angrily barked.
"Don't bark at Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin shouted at Inuyasha as she ran over to Shippou and Kawayou. "I'm Rin! Who are you?"
Inuyasha growled at Sesshoumaru. "I can't believe you became so soft that 500 years later you needed-"
"Please be quiet, half-breed. You are giving me a headache." Sesshoumaru complained.
"No way! Not until you tell me that you made that wish for the brat!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Do not yell at Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jacken and Rin both shouted together.
"Rin not like you if you keep yelling at Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin yelled.
Inuyasha growled again.
Rin smiled at Shippou and Kawayou.
Kawayou pointed at her. "You look familiar."
"I do? Rin look familiar?" Rin asked.
Inuyasha ignored the conversation behind him. "If you weren't stuck in your bed, miserably beat up so bad that-"
"Will you be quiet." Sesshoumaru growled. "You are the most annoying creature that ever lived."
Just then, Kagome walked into the room. "Inuyasha? Momma wants to talk to yoOOU?!" Kagome pointed at Rin as the child waved to her.
"Hi again!" Rin waved.
Kagome just waved back and looked over toward Inuyasha. "What uhhh...what's going on?"
Inuyasha pointed at Sesshoumaru. "He found a soft spot for that little human."
Sesshoumaru ignored his eye contact.
Inuyasha just smiled wickedly and turned around to face Rin. He leaned over and smiled at her. "That's right, isn't it?" he wiggled his finger in a circle toward her. "Lord Sesshoumaru love Rin, right?"
Rin shook her head. "Lord Sesshoumaru love Rin!"
Sesshoumaru tried to turn away as much as he could. "Leave. I need my rest."
Kagome sighed as she looked at Inuyasha. "Come on, let's leave him alone."
Inuyasha walked over to her and pointed back at Sesshoumaru. "He made that wish for her! Just to have her back!"
"Get out." Sesshoumaru growled. He was not in the mood (or in the right condition) to deal with the annoying hanyou.
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha as she grabbed Kawayou. "Come on, momma wants to talk to you." She looked over at the bed-ridden Sesshoumaru. "It seems that a lot has happened since we last went through the well."
Inuyasha looked at her strangely. Nothing really seemed wrong to him so far, besides Sesshoumaru being there. But appearances can be decieving..."Fine, but when this charity case gets well, he is OUT of here!"
Inuyasha smirked as his ears picked up a light growl.
"How dare you say that to Lord Sesshoumaru-!"
But Inuyasha and the group didn't stick around to deal with Jacken.
Downstairs...
*Do loud sounds bug you?* a wolf demon asked on the T.V. set. *Are your ears too sensitive to all the loud sounds in this era?*
Inuyasha blinked as he looked at the T.V. "What the **** is a demon doing on your T.V. set?"
The wolf on the T.V. smiled. *Then try 'Just-Rights!' 'Just-Rights' are brand new ear plugs that stop everything from the sound of annoying crickets to the horrible sound of a highway speed chase!* The wolf grinned as he held up the product. *Just tune in what volumes you want to get rid of, and all those annoying sounds will dissapear!* He gave a cheesy smile to the camera. "At the introductory low price of 3500 yen, 'Just-Rights!' are just right for you!* He pointed to the ground and showed off his left fang.
Souta groaned as he turned away from the T.V. set. Then he noticed Inuyasha. "Hi, Inuyasha! How was your visit with your brother?"
Inuyasha just smirked which made Souta look at him strangely. He turned his attention to the T.V. set as he saw yet another commercial just full of demons. "Where are all the humans?"
Everyone grew quiet.
"Inuyasha, please...take a seat." Kagome indicated as she patted the sofa cushion next to her.
Inuyasha looked at her strangely. "What's going on?"
Mrs. Higurashi looked sadly at the T.V. "The reason you only see demons on T.V. is because the humans are..."
Kouga finished for her. "Either killed, protected, or far away from here."
"What?!" Kawayou shouted angrily. "What do you mean?!"
"Under Naraku's Law." Kouga said as he pointed to a piece of paper that had been nailed to the door.
Inuyasha frowned at the wolf and went to go read the paper:
NARAKU'S LAW
Warning to Anyone who is more than 1/2 human:
1. You shall leave all city limits unless you have a protector.
2. You can be killed on site if you are not out of city limits and have no
protector.
3. All rights to the human race will no longer apply to you.
Inuyasha proceeded to tear the paper in half. "What is this bull****?!"
Kouga pointed to himself. "Unless a human has a protector, than they cannot live in society."
"But-but...what about Syaoran?!" Kawayou cried out.
Kagome went over to hug Kawayou. She doubted her family even knew what happened to him.
Souta bit his lip nervously, but eventually shrugged his shoulders.
Kawayou didn't move for a moment. Instead, tears just slowly started to roll down his chin.
Inuyasha stood by his side. He had never met this Syaoran before, but he knew Kawayou mentioned him almost every time he mentioned he missed his family on this side. He didn't know exactly what to say.
Neither did Kagome. She couldn't just say. 'Everything's gonna be alright.' How would she know?
Inuyasha looked over at Kouga. "What's it take to be a protector?"
Kouga sighed. "At least a half-demon."
Inuyasha ignored the comment. "What the **** happened?" he growled. The last thing he knew was that Sesshoumaru had made a wish with half of the shikon no tama.
Kouga crossed his arms and leaned against the couch. "Long story mutt. Sure you wanna hear it?"
Inuyasha growled his response.
Kouga took his growl as a 'yes'. "Fine, shortly after you left through the well, that little human girl Rin woke up. Humans and demons didn't know what to make of each other, but most of the demons were civil enough to straighten up after awhile. Basically, humans just stayed out of the demons' way."
"Alright." Inuyasha growled as he started rubbing Kawayou's head. "So what went wrong?"
Kouga turned off the T.V. set and looked straight at Inuyasha. "The jewel has some amazing powers apparently, but it's not food. Instead, it came back up. At a bad time..."
Kagome handed over Kawayou to Inuyasha so he could rub his pups ears.
Mrs. Higurashi and Sota looked at Inuyasha as Kouga continued. "He kept it down for a good month, and everything was just fine at the moment. Sesshoumaru really wasn't considering Naraku as an opponent at the time either."
Inuyasha kept rubbing Kawayou's ears. Apparently his pup must have been very good friends with this 'Syaoran' since he still wasn't doing any better. "Why didn't Sesshoumaru treat him as an opponent?"
"Before the jewel's current wish, Naraku had only 1/3 of his power, so Sesshoumaru figured Naraku couldn't pull his 'changing' trick." Kouga answered.
Inuyasha still continued to growl as he kept scratching Kawayou's ears. "Come on pup, calm down."
Kouga continued. "Unfortunately, we quickly figured out that the jewel didn't feel his 'changing' trick was dangerous." Kouga growled. "He had hidden that fact away."
Kawayou continued to hold tightly to his mom. "...Syaoran..."
Inuyasha looked at Kouga angrily. Sure, when Naraku shifted into something else and gained more power it was dangerous, but it wasn't power, it was the fact that the ***hole was a hanyou. In some ways, it was seen as a weakness. "So, how the **** did Sesshoumaru screw up?"
Kouga leaned back against the couch again. "Naraku challenged both me and Sesshoumaru to a fight. That sounded fine to me, so with a little persuasion I got your brother-"
"Half-brother." Inuyasha interrupted.
"Half-brother." Kouga growled. "To come fight. In the end though, Naraku was hitting on us a lot harder than we could on him. Eventually, Sesshoumaru coughed up the jewel half."
"That stupid, thinks-he-knows-it-all-" Inuyasha continued to rant.
"When we saw half of the jewel come up, we knew there was trouble. I didn't know what to do, but Sesshoumaru grabbed some green whip thing and tried to smash the jewel to pieces." Kouga finished.
Inuyasha didn't respond as Kawayou finally started to ease into the scratching.
"Except his aim wasn't exactly perfect." Kouga added. "I grabbed for one jewel shard, while Sesshoumaru made to grab for another. In the end though, Naraku was faster than both of us since he'd...well...beaten us up a little."
Inuyasha frowned. "A little? The condition Sesshoumaru was in doesn't constitute as 'a little'."
"Fine, he ****ing wiped the floor with us!" Kouga shouted. "So, now Naraku has almost the entire half of the jewel shard while we had bits and pieces." He sighed angrily to himself. "That ***hole is powerful. A lot more powerful than I ever thought before."
Inuyasha looked at Kawayou as he fell asleep in his lap.
"He's greatly improved." Kouga admitted. "We can feel him go down the well, but there's nothing we can really do."
"How about fight him?!" Inuyasha asked angrily. "You wimpy little wolf, even if it is a losing battle I thought you had more pride than this!"
Kouga stood up. "I do!" he shouted angrily. "But if I'm dead, who's going to take care of Kagome's pack?!"
Kagome looked at Kouga. "You mean, you really have been taking good care of them?"
Kouga crossed his arms. "Up until I find a mate of my own, I have no trouble taking care of your pack. Your world is too strange enough for me to understand anyway." he gestured toward Mrs. Higurashi. "Besides, she's a good cook."
Kagome smiled at Kouga as Inuyasha pulled her over to him. "Whatever."
Kouga smirked at the hanyou. "Naraku is too powerful anyhow. It's like his power has more than doubled. It'd be like commiting suicide."
Inuyasha frowned at him as he lifted Kawayou up in his arms. "You might be afraid of that ***hole..." he looked over at Kagome. "But we've got issues that aren't going to go away until we beat that *******."
He growled as he looked around at Miroku and Sango who were standing near the entrance to the kitchen. "And nothing is going to stop us." Miroku said as he looked dangerously at his staff. "Besides, it would be suicide if I didn't try everything in my power to stop him.
Kouga just ignored them and went back to the T.V. "Please. Save the bravado. You have no clue what you are up against human."
Kawayou started to stand up shakily. "He's right, you know."
Inuyasha looked at his son strangely. "Right about what?"
Kawayou sniffled a little before clinging back to Kagome. "He is strong. He is really, REALLY strong....no one can beat him."
Inuyasha just cracked his knuckles at the comment. "Yeah, well I've been known to pull off the impossible more than once."
Kawayou didn't comment as Kagome picked him up and set him down on the couch. "Don't worry about it right now sweetie. Just watch some T.V."
Kawayou took the remote from Kagome's hand. He watched the commercials fly by. 'Demons doing commercials...yeah, this is helping a whole lot.'
Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, along with Sango, Miroku, and Shippou. "How are we going to pull this off?" Kagome asked. "Even at a 1/3 of his power we were having troubles."
"Yeah, well last time was different." Inuyasha stood up and crossed his arms. "No one was watching out for you and Kawayou." He looked angrily at Miroku and Sango. "But that's not gonna happen this time, since you two will stay here."
"What?!" Kagome poked her finger in Inuyasha's chest. "How can you say that?!"
Inuyasha put her finger down. "I can say that because it's true!" he pointed at Kawayou. "He fears Naraku's power! THAT'S saying something to me!" He turned away from her. "You both are staying here."
Kagome pointed at Kawayou. "HE's staying yes, but you are not leaving me behind!"
"Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi addressed her.
"What?!" Kagome shouted until she remembered who just called her. "I mean, yes momma?"
"I think it's a good idea if you stay." her mother replied.
"See?!" Inuyasha shouted in triumph.
Kagome looked angrily at her mother. "It's going to take everything we have to beat Naraku! I know I don't really look it, but I-"
"Stop." her mother said firmly to her. "Kagome, I know you could help out but...but will it make a difference? How long has it been since you practiced archery?"
Kagome knew how to respond to that. "Not very long ago at all, I started going back to it when I went to the Feudal Era."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but you still need to work on your aiming."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she tried to elbow him. He stopped her in time, but with her left foot she kicked him in the shin.
"Stupid!" Inuyasha grumbled. "*****."
"Well, that's unexpected." Kouga said wide-eyed. He stared back at Inuyasha. "I don't believe it. She's as violent as a ***** in-" He looked cautiously at Inuyasha. "Already?"
Inuyasha just looked at him for a second before he figured out what he was saying. "Stupid wolf! We haven't done anything!"
Kagome blushed as she started to realize what Kouga was thinking. "We're not like that. We haven't even kissed yet..."
Kouga looked at her in surprise before he turned to Inuyasha. "That's right, I forgot. Not much of a demon, huh?"
"What do you mean by that?!" Inuyasha shouted, apparently forgetting about the slight pain in his shin.
"I mean, you still haven't made a move on her, have you?" Kouga asked.
Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga. "That's none of your-!"
"Please!" Mrs. Higurashi shouted. "NO fighting in the house!"
Inuyasha growled and looked back at Kagome.
Kagome shook her head no.
Inuyasha grungingly obeyed and put his sword back in its sheath. "This ain't over wolf."
Kouga just smirked at the hanyou's response.
Mrs. Higurashi just smiled at them.
Miroku looked over at Kouga. "Well, do you know where we can find Naraku?"
Kouga looked over at the monk. "You want to go fight him already?"
Miroku frowned at him. "I have been waiting to fight Naraku for my entire life." he looked at his cursed hand. "Since the day I was born this was my destiny." He looked back at Kouga. "Do you know where he is?"
Sango stood up next to him. "I need to avenge my village..." she looked over at Sota. "...and..."
Kagome looked over at Sango. She knew she wanted to say Kohaku. She looked over at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to her stare. Instead, he was just staring out into space.
'No doubt he must be thinking of avenging Kikyou.' Kagome thought as she looked at the hanyou. 'I should tell him...
but I promised her...'
"By the way, Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi interrupted the uncomfortable silence. "You haven't said hello to Kamira yet."
Kagome looked over at her mother. "Kamira? Is she here...somewhere?"
Mrs. Higurashi smiled at her daughter. "Yes, her vacation's been over since February. Why don't you go see her? You haven't seen each other for awhile, right?"
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. "Who's Kamira? One of those annoying school friends of yours?"
Kagome just laughed nervously at his comment. "We could go with that."
Inuyasha just looked at her strangely.
"Momma, where is she exactly?" Kagome asked.
Mrs. Higurashi pointed to the back of the room. "Probably outside with dad still." she sighed. "She doesn't like hanging around the house, with everyone that now resides here."
Kagome shook her head in understanding. "I'll be back later, okay you guys?"
Miroku and Sango nodded as Kagome took off.
Inuyasha was about to follow her.
"Please sit down, Inuyasha." Kagome's mother replied. "Kagome will be coming back soon. She isn't that far away."
Kouga lifted himself off the couch. "I'll go follow her then."
"No way!" Inuyasha barked.
Mrs. Higurashi just looked at them both. "Sota, take Mr. Kouga to a place where he can see, but not bother Kagome."
Sota nodded his head yes and lead Kouga away.
Inuyasha still wanted to follow.
"I advise against following, Inuyasha." Kagome's mother stated. "Kamira won't like it."
"I don't care how the **** this little Kamira will feel, I'm going to watch Kagome." Inuyasha insisted as he headed in the direction Kouga and Sota left in.
Outside...
"Demons, demons..." Kagome's grandpa muttered to Kagome. "No one ever believed that they were alive and dangerous, and look what happens?! If I were back in my old youth, this 'Naraku' or whoever would not have stood a chance!"
"That's great, grandpa." Kagome sighed as she looked at Kamira. "So, how was your vacation?"
"Not long enough." Kamira sighed. "I don't believe this. I leave for a little while, and look what happens."
"I know." Kagome replied as she sat down next to her friend. "Not exactly peaceful around here, is it?"
Kamira looked over at Kagome. "Your mother said you came back through the well. Is that right?"
Kagome shook her head yes.
"And Kawayou made it through to?" Kamira asked.
Kagome smiled. "Yep, every piece. We all made it through."
Kamira smiled. "That's good."
Kagome cleared her throat. "Ummm...Kamira?"
Kamira smiled back at Kagome. "Hmm?"
"I uhhh..." Kagome looked at the ground. "Kawayou and I aren't the only ones who made it through."
Kamira's smile soon became a frown. "Who did you bring with you?"
Kagome gulped and started to name her companions one by one on each finger. "There's Miroku the monk..." she said holding her right thumb. "...and Sango the demon slayer..." she said holding up her next finger. "...Shippou...Kirara, that's Sango's pet sort of..." she nervously laughed.
Kamira kept looking at Kagome. "And who else?" she asked softly, although she already could guess.
"Inuyasha." Kagome blurted out.
Kamira stayed silent a moment. "Did you keep our promise?"
Kagome shook her head yes. "I'd never betray a promise, Kamira."
Kamira shook her head up and down. "Keep him away."
"It'll be hard." Kagome replied. "If I stay out here too long, he may just come find me."
Kamira groaned. "The house is riddled with demons right now, and now there are more people from the past."
Kagome looked at her sadly. She knew why she was so upset. "I'm very sorry Kamira."
Kamira yawned whistfully as she laid back on the grass. "Well, at least I had almost five years of peace and quiet." She looked over at Kagome. "It was nice being a normal girl temporarily."
"KIKYOU?!!"
Kagome and Kamira both closed their eyes at the sound.
"This can't be happening." Kamira growled.
"Inuyasha, stay back!" Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha didn't listen as he ran straight toward Kagome and Kamira. "Kikyou?!"
"Sit!" Kagome shouted as Inuyasha suddenly kissed the ground hard.
Kamira looked at the fallen hanyou. "Leave me be!"
"Kikyou?!" Inuyasha managed to say while he was struggling with his sit. "What are you doing here?!
Kamira groaned. "Kagome..."
Kagome looked at Kamira sadly. "Yeah, I know...he's annoying, but he won't leave until someone tells him."
Inuyasha's sit was slowly starting to wear off.
But Kagome saw it. "Sit."
And Inuyasha went down for the count again.
Kamira looked at Kagome pleadingly. "Please?"
Kagome looked back at Kamira. "But Kamira..."
"Fine, you tell him?" Kamira asked.
Kagome groaned and looked at the hanyou. "I made a promise to you."
"Well, I release you from your promise." Kamira said as she looked at the ground. "Just tell him and make him leave me alone." she said as she walked into the house.
"The others are still in there." Kagome said before she left too far.
"I know, I won't bother them." Kamira said as she looked at Kagome's grandpa.
"Well then, let's go." Kagome's grandpa replied grabbing Kamira's hand. "Don't you worry, I can handle the demons if they are too rough with you."
Inuyasha's sit was wearing off again, but Kagome didn't repeat the submissive word again. "Down, Inuyasha. Just take a seat and I'll explain everything, okay?"
Inuyasha quickly did as she asked, also yanking her down with him. "What the **** is Kikyou doing in your time, Kagome?!"
Kagome groaned. She had just told a long story that day, and here she had to tell another one...

The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...
By: Msmelanie
Chapter Fifty One: NARAKU'S LAW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Higurashi watched as Sota, Kouga and everyone from the past came to sit down. "It's nice to see you all again."
"Likewise." Miroku replied.
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her watch. "Do you mind if we eat dinner first before we begin?"
Inuyasha growled at her, but shutted up once Kagome stomped on his foot underneath the table.
"Of course we don't mind, momma." Kagome smiled.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled back at her daughter. She just couldn't help it. It had been so long since her daughter smiled so brightly.
Everyone quietly sat and ate their food, while Kouga kept sharing glances at Inuyasha.
"What?!" Inuyasha barked out finally.
Kagome stomped on his foot again.
Inuyasha ignored it though, while he looked over at Kouga. "What do you want?" he growled.
"Kawayou." Kouga replied.
Inuyasha instantly sat up in his chair. "You can't have him!!"
"No you stupid mutt! I mean talk about him!" Kouga shouted back.
"Inuyasha, don't make me say it." Kagome warned as she stuck some meat into her mouth.
Inuyasha sat back down and looked over at the wolf. "What is it?"
Kawayou who was sitting on his mother's lap looked over at them. Why did they want to talk about him?
"You said something earlier." Kouga stated as he finished his last piece of meat. "About Naraku messing with Kawayou's demon skills. What did you mean?"
Inuyasha just poked at his food on his plate. "We're not talking about this right now."
Kouga frowned and got up from the kitchen. "It was a lovely dinner Lady Higurashi."
"Why, thank you so much." Mrs. Higurashi blushed.
"'Why, thank you so much.'" Inuyasha mocked until Kagome whapped him beside the head. "What was that for?!"
"Don't be rude!" Kagome shouted.
"Kagome dear." Mrs. Higurashi began. "Please don't hit your husband-to-be at the table."
Inuyasha grinned so wide at that announcement that both his fangs were showing, while Kagome got very red and looked at Mrs. Higurashi angrily. "Mother!"
Mrs. Higurashi just softly laughed at her daughter. "Kagome, calm down and finish eating. Then we can talk about other things, okay?"
Kagome frowned as she began eating again.
After everyone finished eating, they all headed into the living room.
"Okay now." Mrs. Higurashi said as she sat down on her chair. "Kagome-"
"Tell us what's been goin' on with you!" Souta chirped happily.
"No, you tell US what's been going on!" Inuyasha barked.
*Bonk*
Inuyasha grabbed his head as he looked angrily at Miroku.
"We will eventually hear everything, Inuyasha." Miroku began. "So, if you don't mind, I believe it would be best to start from the beginning."
Kagome agreed with Miroku. Her family was still alive, and it looked like they were just fine still, so it wouldn't hurt to begin...
but there was this one thing she didn't want Kawayou to be around for.
Of course, Inuyasha was thinking the same thing. "Hey kid, why don't you show me around this place." he said eyeing Souta. "Specifically, where the **** Sesshoumaru is."
Souta seemed a bit surprised but lead Inuyasha away while the hanyou grabbed Kawayou and Shippou
"Hey, why are you taking us?!" Kawayou shouted.
Inuyasha ignored him as he followed Souta through the back rooms.
Kagome sighed in relief. 'Okay, now that that is out of the way.' "Well, it all began when Kawayou got injured and we carried him over to the other side of the well..."
Half an hour later....
"...and so since it was bogus, all I wanted to do was to return back to Kaede's and forget everything. Shortly after that, we discovered your letter." Kagome said, finally finishing her story.
Her mother seemed quite amazed at her daughter's story. "Goodness..."
"Wow, you have had almost as much excitement as we have." Souta said wide- eyed.
Kagome looked at her brother wearily. "What do you mean almost as much?"
To the room temporarily designated as the hanyou's half-brother's...
"-and after I finish doing that with your mangled up body, I should-!" Inuyasha continued to rant to the injured Sesshoumaru lying on a bed.
"Will you stop your excessive rant." Sesshoumaru replied. "Half-breeds, you're only good for cursing and ranting. Horrible fighters."
"Hey, I wasn't the one who made that ****ed up wish!" Inuyasha yelled again.
Shippou and Kawayou both sighed as they looked at Jacken.
"Man." Kawayou groaned. "I can't believe it was just YOU two I sensed."
Jacken just frowned at the quarter demon.
"Geez..." Kawayou sighed. "So that poor slouch on the bed was the power I sensed, but you were like, most of the evil."
"Silence! You should be thanking us! Because of Lord Sesshoumaru and I you, you stupid brat, you were kept safe!" Jacken shouted. 'Although I would have rather-'
"Wow, you've gone over five hundred years looking like that?" Kawayou said disgustedly, interrupting Jacken's own thoughts.
"I think you should've just killed yourself to save yourself from your own grief." Shippou commented.
"Brats! How dare you! Are you saying THAT to the assistant to the great Mr. Sesshoumaru is ugly?!" Jacken shouted.
"Butt ugly!" Kawayou and Shippou laughed at him.
"Rin agree! Jacken ugly! Jacken always ugly!"
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he had just heard. He stopped his useless ranting and looked over to the door where a small child named Rin stood. "What in the-?"
Sesshoumaru just sighed at his brother. As if his tirading wasn't worse enough already.
Inuyasha looked at the little girl, then back at his brother, then back at the little girl...then back at his brother.
"Come on already, half-breed." Sesshoumaru said exhaustively. "Ask the question already."
Inuyasha opened his mouth and pointed to the child. "How?" Then, he finally found his voice. "How the **** is your little worshipper still alive, huh?!" He looked at her up and down. "And ****, she's not even the right age? What is she, like six? Eight?!"
Sesshoumaru just stared at the wall. "After she made the wish, she fell. She never died, but she never aged." He looked back at Inuyasha. "I had to reverse the wish to bring her back to normal."
Inuyasha's mouth opened wide as he looked at his brother. "You mean, your wish...YOUR wish..." He looked at his brother angrily. "Was just to ****ing bring back your little follower?!"
"..." Sesshoumaru didn't know if he wanted to answer that or not.
"Well?!" Inuyasha angrily barked.
"Don't bark at Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin shouted at Inuyasha as she ran over to Shippou and Kawayou. "I'm Rin! Who are you?"
Inuyasha growled at Sesshoumaru. "I can't believe you became so soft that 500 years later you needed-"
"Please be quiet, half-breed. You are giving me a headache." Sesshoumaru complained.
"No way! Not until you tell me that you made that wish for the brat!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Do not yell at Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jacken and Rin both shouted together.
"Rin not like you if you keep yelling at Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin yelled.
Inuyasha growled again.
Rin smiled at Shippou and Kawayou.
Kawayou pointed at her. "You look familiar."
"I do? Rin look familiar?" Rin asked.
Inuyasha ignored the conversation behind him. "If you weren't stuck in your bed, miserably beat up so bad that-"
"Will you be quiet." Sesshoumaru growled. "You are the most annoying creature that ever lived."
Just then, Kagome walked into the room. "Inuyasha? Momma wants to talk to yoOOU?!" Kagome pointed at Rin as the child waved to her.
"Hi again!" Rin waved.
Kagome just waved back and looked over toward Inuyasha. "What uhhh...what's going on?"
Inuyasha pointed at Sesshoumaru. "He found a soft spot for that little human."
Sesshoumaru ignored his eye contact.
Inuyasha just smiled wickedly and turned around to face Rin. He leaned over and smiled at her. "That's right, isn't it?" he wiggled his finger in a circle toward her. "Lord Sesshoumaru love Rin, right?"
Rin shook her head. "Lord Sesshoumaru love Rin!"
Sesshoumaru tried to turn away as much as he could. "Leave. I need my rest."
Kagome sighed as she looked at Inuyasha. "Come on, let's leave him alone."
Inuyasha walked over to her and pointed back at Sesshoumaru. "He made that wish for her! Just to have her back!"
"Get out." Sesshoumaru growled. He was not in the mood (or in the right condition) to deal with the annoying hanyou.
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha as she grabbed Kawayou. "Come on, momma wants to talk to you." She looked over at the bed-ridden Sesshoumaru. "It seems that a lot has happened since we last went through the well."
Inuyasha looked at her strangely. Nothing really seemed wrong to him so far, besides Sesshoumaru being there. But appearances can be decieving..."Fine, but when this charity case gets well, he is OUT of here!"
Inuyasha smirked as his ears picked up a light growl.
"How dare you say that to Lord Sesshoumaru-!"
But Inuyasha and the group didn't stick around to deal with Jacken.
Downstairs...
*Do loud sounds bug you?* a wolf demon asked on the T.V. set. *Are your ears too sensitive to all the loud sounds in this era?*
Inuyasha blinked as he looked at the T.V. "What the **** is a demon doing on your T.V. set?"
The wolf on the T.V. smiled. *Then try 'Just-Rights!' 'Just-Rights' are brand new ear plugs that stop everything from the sound of annoying crickets to the horrible sound of a highway speed chase!* The wolf grinned as he held up the product. *Just tune in what volumes you want to get rid of, and all those annoying sounds will dissapear!* He gave a cheesy smile to the camera. "At the introductory low price of 3500 yen, 'Just-Rights!' are just right for you!* He pointed to the ground and showed off his left fang.
Souta groaned as he turned away from the T.V. set. Then he noticed Inuyasha. "Hi, Inuyasha! How was your visit with your brother?"
Inuyasha just smirked which made Souta look at him strangely. He turned his attention to the T.V. set as he saw yet another commercial just full of demons. "Where are all the humans?"
Everyone grew quiet.
"Inuyasha, please...take a seat." Kagome indicated as she patted the sofa cushion next to her.
Inuyasha looked at her strangely. "What's going on?"
Mrs. Higurashi looked sadly at the T.V. "The reason you only see demons on T.V. is because the humans are..."
Kouga finished for her. "Either killed, protected, or far away from here."
"What?!" Kawayou shouted angrily. "What do you mean?!"
"Under Naraku's Law." Kouga said as he pointed to a piece of paper that had been nailed to the door.
Inuyasha frowned at the wolf and went to go read the paper:
NARAKU'S LAW
Warning to Anyone who is more than 1/2 human:
1. You shall leave all city limits unless you have a protector.
2. You can be killed on site if you are not out of city limits and have no
protector.
3. All rights to the human race will no longer apply to you.
Inuyasha proceeded to tear the paper in half. "What is this bull****?!"
Kouga pointed to himself. "Unless a human has a protector, than they cannot live in society."
"But-but...what about Syaoran?!" Kawayou cried out.
Kagome went over to hug Kawayou. She doubted her family even knew what happened to him.
Souta bit his lip nervously, but eventually shrugged his shoulders.
Kawayou didn't move for a moment. Instead, tears just slowly started to roll down his chin.
Inuyasha stood by his side. He had never met this Syaoran before, but he knew Kawayou mentioned him almost every time he mentioned he missed his family on this side. He didn't know exactly what to say.
Neither did Kagome. She couldn't just say. 'Everything's gonna be alright.' How would she know?
Inuyasha looked over at Kouga. "What's it take to be a protector?"
Kouga sighed. "At least a half-demon."
Inuyasha ignored the comment. "What the **** happened?" he growled. The last thing he knew was that Sesshoumaru had made a wish with half of the shikon no tama.
Kouga crossed his arms and leaned against the couch. "Long story mutt. Sure you wanna hear it?"
Inuyasha growled his response.
Kouga took his growl as a 'yes'. "Fine, shortly after you left through the well, that little human girl Rin woke up. Humans and demons didn't know what to make of each other, but most of the demons were civil enough to straighten up after awhile. Basically, humans just stayed out of the demons' way."
"Alright." Inuyasha growled as he started rubbing Kawayou's head. "So what went wrong?"
Kouga turned off the T.V. set and looked straight at Inuyasha. "The jewel has some amazing powers apparently, but it's not food. Instead, it came back up. At a bad time..."
Kagome handed over Kawayou to Inuyasha so he could rub his pups ears.
Mrs. Higurashi and Sota looked at Inuyasha as Kouga continued. "He kept it down for a good month, and everything was just fine at the moment. Sesshoumaru really wasn't considering Naraku as an opponent at the time either."
Inuyasha kept rubbing Kawayou's ears. Apparently his pup must have been very good friends with this 'Syaoran' since he still wasn't doing any better. "Why didn't Sesshoumaru treat him as an opponent?"
"Before the jewel's current wish, Naraku had only 1/3 of his power, so Sesshoumaru figured Naraku couldn't pull his 'changing' trick." Kouga answered.
Inuyasha still continued to growl as he kept scratching Kawayou's ears. "Come on pup, calm down."
Kouga continued. "Unfortunately, we quickly figured out that the jewel didn't feel his 'changing' trick was dangerous." Kouga growled. "He had hidden that fact away."
Kawayou continued to hold tightly to his mom. "...Syaoran..."
Inuyasha looked at Kouga angrily. Sure, when Naraku shifted into something else and gained more power it was dangerous, but it wasn't power, it was the fact that the ***hole was a hanyou. In some ways, it was seen as a weakness. "So, how the **** did Sesshoumaru screw up?"
Kouga leaned back against the couch again. "Naraku challenged both me and Sesshoumaru to a fight. That sounded fine to me, so with a little persuasion I got your brother-"
"Half-brother." Inuyasha interrupted.
"Half-brother." Kouga growled. "To come fight. In the end though, Naraku was hitting on us a lot harder than we could on him. Eventually, Sesshoumaru coughed up the jewel half."
"That stupid, thinks-he-knows-it-all-" Inuyasha continued to rant.
"When we saw half of the jewel come up, we knew there was trouble. I didn't know what to do, but Sesshoumaru grabbed some green whip thing and tried to smash the jewel to pieces." Kouga finished.
Inuyasha didn't respond as Kawayou finally started to ease into the scratching.
"Except his aim wasn't exactly perfect." Kouga added. "I grabbed for one jewel shard, while Sesshoumaru made to grab for another. In the end though, Naraku was faster than both of us since he'd...well...beaten us up a little."
Inuyasha frowned. "A little? The condition Sesshoumaru was in doesn't constitute as 'a little'."
"Fine, he ****ing wiped the floor with us!" Kouga shouted. "So, now Naraku has almost the entire half of the jewel shard while we had bits and pieces." He sighed angrily to himself. "That ***hole is powerful. A lot more powerful than I ever thought before."
Inuyasha looked at Kawayou as he fell asleep in his lap.
"He's greatly improved." Kouga admitted. "We can feel him go down the well, but there's nothing we can really do."
"How about fight him?!" Inuyasha asked angrily. "You wimpy little wolf, even if it is a losing battle I thought you had more pride than this!"
Kouga stood up. "I do!" he shouted angrily. "But if I'm dead, who's going to take care of Kagome's pack?!"
Kagome looked at Kouga. "You mean, you really have been taking good care of them?"
Kouga crossed his arms. "Up until I find a mate of my own, I have no trouble taking care of your pack. Your world is too strange enough for me to understand anyway." he gestured toward Mrs. Higurashi. "Besides, she's a good cook."
Kagome smiled at Kouga as Inuyasha pulled her over to him. "Whatever."
Kouga smirked at the hanyou. "Naraku is too powerful anyhow. It's like his power has more than doubled. It'd be like commiting suicide."
Inuyasha frowned at him as he lifted Kawayou up in his arms. "You might be afraid of that ***hole..." he looked over at Kagome. "But we've got issues that aren't going to go away until we beat that *******."
He growled as he looked around at Miroku and Sango who were standing near the entrance to the kitchen. "And nothing is going to stop us." Miroku said as he looked dangerously at his staff. "Besides, it would be suicide if I didn't try everything in my power to stop him.
Kouga just ignored them and went back to the T.V. "Please. Save the bravado. You have no clue what you are up against human."
Kawayou started to stand up shakily. "He's right, you know."
Inuyasha looked at his son strangely. "Right about what?"
Kawayou sniffled a little before clinging back to Kagome. "He is strong. He is really, REALLY strong....no one can beat him."
Inuyasha just cracked his knuckles at the comment. "Yeah, well I've been known to pull off the impossible more than once."
Kawayou didn't comment as Kagome picked him up and set him down on the couch. "Don't worry about it right now sweetie. Just watch some T.V."
Kawayou took the remote from Kagome's hand. He watched the commercials fly by. 'Demons doing commercials...yeah, this is helping a whole lot.'
Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, along with Sango, Miroku, and Shippou. "How are we going to pull this off?" Kagome asked. "Even at a 1/3 of his power we were having troubles."
"Yeah, well last time was different." Inuyasha stood up and crossed his arms. "No one was watching out for you and Kawayou." He looked angrily at Miroku and Sango. "But that's not gonna happen this time, since you two will stay here."
"What?!" Kagome poked her finger in Inuyasha's chest. "How can you say that?!"
Inuyasha put her finger down. "I can say that because it's true!" he pointed at Kawayou. "He fears Naraku's power! THAT'S saying something to me!" He turned away from her. "You both are staying here."
Kagome pointed at Kawayou. "HE's staying yes, but you are not leaving me behind!"
"Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi addressed her.
"What?!" Kagome shouted until she remembered who just called her. "I mean, yes momma?"
"I think it's a good idea if you stay." her mother replied.
"See?!" Inuyasha shouted in triumph.
Kagome looked angrily at her mother. "It's going to take everything we have to beat Naraku! I know I don't really look it, but I-"
"Stop." her mother said firmly to her. "Kagome, I know you could help out but...but will it make a difference? How long has it been since you practiced archery?"
Kagome knew how to respond to that. "Not very long ago at all, I started going back to it when I went to the Feudal Era."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but you still need to work on your aiming."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she tried to elbow him. He stopped her in time, but with her left foot she kicked him in the shin.
"Stupid!" Inuyasha grumbled. "*****."
"Well, that's unexpected." Kouga said wide-eyed. He stared back at Inuyasha. "I don't believe it. She's as violent as a ***** in-" He looked cautiously at Inuyasha. "Already?"
Inuyasha just looked at him for a second before he figured out what he was saying. "Stupid wolf! We haven't done anything!"
Kagome blushed as she started to realize what Kouga was thinking. "We're not like that. We haven't even kissed yet..."
Kouga looked at her in surprise before he turned to Inuyasha. "That's right, I forgot. Not much of a demon, huh?"
"What do you mean by that?!" Inuyasha shouted, apparently forgetting about the slight pain in his shin.
"I mean, you still haven't made a move on her, have you?" Kouga asked.
Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga. "That's none of your-!"
"Please!" Mrs. Higurashi shouted. "NO fighting in the house!"
Inuyasha growled and looked back at Kagome.
Kagome shook her head no.
Inuyasha grungingly obeyed and put his sword back in its sheath. "This ain't over wolf."
Kouga just smirked at the hanyou's response.
Mrs. Higurashi just smiled at them.
Miroku looked over at Kouga. "Well, do you know where we can find Naraku?"
Kouga looked over at the monk. "You want to go fight him already?"
Miroku frowned at him. "I have been waiting to fight Naraku for my entire life." he looked at his cursed hand. "Since the day I was born this was my destiny." He looked back at Kouga. "Do you know where he is?"
Sango stood up next to him. "I need to avenge my village..." she looked over at Sota. "...and..."
Kagome looked over at Sango. She knew she wanted to say Kohaku. She looked over at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to her stare. Instead, he was just staring out into space.
'No doubt he must be thinking of avenging Kikyou.' Kagome thought as she looked at the hanyou. 'I should tell him...
but I promised her...'
"By the way, Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi interrupted the uncomfortable silence. "You haven't said hello to Kamira yet."
Kagome looked over at her mother. "Kamira? Is she here...somewhere?"
Mrs. Higurashi smiled at her daughter. "Yes, her vacation's been over since February. Why don't you go see her? You haven't seen each other for awhile, right?"
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. "Who's Kamira? One of those annoying school friends of yours?"
Kagome just laughed nervously at his comment. "We could go with that."
Inuyasha just looked at her strangely.
"Momma, where is she exactly?" Kagome asked.
Mrs. Higurashi pointed to the back of the room. "Probably outside with dad still." she sighed. "She doesn't like hanging around the house, with everyone that now resides here."
Kagome shook her head in understanding. "I'll be back later, okay you guys?"
Miroku and Sango nodded as Kagome took off.
Inuyasha was about to follow her.
"Please sit down, Inuyasha." Kagome's mother replied. "Kagome will be coming back soon. She isn't that far away."
Kouga lifted himself off the couch. "I'll go follow her then."
"No way!" Inuyasha barked.
Mrs. Higurashi just looked at them both. "Sota, take Mr. Kouga to a place where he can see, but not bother Kagome."
Sota nodded his head yes and lead Kouga away.
Inuyasha still wanted to follow.
"I advise against following, Inuyasha." Kagome's mother stated. "Kamira won't like it."
"I don't care how the **** this little Kamira will feel, I'm going to watch Kagome." Inuyasha insisted as he headed in the direction Kouga and Sota left in.
Outside...
"Demons, demons..." Kagome's grandpa muttered to Kagome. "No one ever believed that they were alive and dangerous, and look what happens?! If I were back in my old youth, this 'Naraku' or whoever would not have stood a chance!"
"That's great, grandpa." Kagome sighed as she looked at Kamira. "So, how was your vacation?"
"Not long enough." Kamira sighed. "I don't believe this. I leave for a little while, and look what happens."
"I know." Kagome replied as she sat down next to her friend. "Not exactly peaceful around here, is it?"
Kamira looked over at Kagome. "Your mother said you came back through the well. Is that right?"
Kagome shook her head yes.
"And Kawayou made it through to?" Kamira asked.
Kagome smiled. "Yep, every piece. We all made it through."
Kamira smiled. "That's good."
Kagome cleared her throat. "Ummm...Kamira?"
Kamira smiled back at Kagome. "Hmm?"
"I uhhh..." Kagome looked at the ground. "Kawayou and I aren't the only ones who made it through."
Kamira's smile soon became a frown. "Who did you bring with you?"
Kagome gulped and started to name her companions one by one on each finger. "There's Miroku the monk..." she said holding her right thumb. "...and Sango the demon slayer..." she said holding up her next finger. "...Shippou...Kirara, that's Sango's pet sort of..." she nervously laughed.
Kamira kept looking at Kagome. "And who else?" she asked softly, although she already could guess.
"Inuyasha." Kagome blurted out.
Kamira stayed silent a moment. "Did you keep our promise?"
Kagome shook her head yes. "I'd never betray a promise, Kamira."
Kamira shook her head up and down. "Keep him away."
"It'll be hard." Kagome replied. "If I stay out here too long, he may just come find me."
Kamira groaned. "The house is riddled with demons right now, and now there are more people from the past."
Kagome looked at her sadly. She knew why she was so upset. "I'm very sorry Kamira."
Kamira yawned whistfully as she laid back on the grass. "Well, at least I had almost five years of peace and quiet." She looked over at Kagome. "It was nice being a normal girl temporarily."
"KIKYOU?!!"
Kagome and Kamira both closed their eyes at the sound.
"This can't be happening." Kamira growled.
"Inuyasha, stay back!" Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha didn't listen as he ran straight toward Kagome and Kamira. "Kikyou?!"
"Sit!" Kagome shouted as Inuyasha suddenly kissed the ground hard.
Kamira looked at the fallen hanyou. "Leave me be!"
"Kikyou?!" Inuyasha managed to say while he was struggling with his sit. "What are you doing here?!
Kamira groaned. "Kagome..."
Kagome looked at Kamira sadly. "Yeah, I know...he's annoying, but he won't leave until someone tells him."
Inuyasha's sit was slowly starting to wear off.
But Kagome saw it. "Sit."
And Inuyasha went down for the count again.
Kamira looked at Kagome pleadingly. "Please?"
Kagome looked back at Kamira. "But Kamira..."
"Fine, you tell him?" Kamira asked.
Kagome groaned and looked at the hanyou. "I made a promise to you."
"Well, I release you from your promise." Kamira said as she looked at the ground. "Just tell him and make him leave me alone." she said as she walked into the house.
"The others are still in there." Kagome said before she left too far.
"I know, I won't bother them." Kamira said as she looked at Kagome's grandpa.
"Well then, let's go." Kagome's grandpa replied grabbing Kamira's hand. "Don't you worry, I can handle the demons if they are too rough with you."
Inuyasha's sit was wearing off again, but Kagome didn't repeat the submissive word again. "Down, Inuyasha. Just take a seat and I'll explain everything, okay?"
Inuyasha quickly did as she asked, also yanking her down with him. "What the **** is Kikyou doing in your time, Kagome?!"
Kagome groaned. She had just told a long story that day, and here she had to tell another one...
