Return of the Shikon
In the last chapter of 'Ears' Kirara handed Kagome the
Shikon no Tama,
but what will happen now that it has returned?
THE BEACH HOUSE MURDERS
"So, I guess the real question is where your mother got it from," Miroku sighs sadly.
"You do realize that Sango is my mom, and you're my dad?" Kirara smirks as Miroku pales.
"Momma! Can we go to the beach?" Shippo hugs Kagome.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea Shippo!" Kagome smiles cheerfully, "Kirara, since you found the jewel, I'm putting it in your keeping."
"MY KEEPING?" Kirara gasps in horror as Kagome places the jewel in the young hanyou's palm. Kirara is frozen in thought, while everyone around her moves to get ready for their trip to the beach.
"Kirara, are you okay?" Miroku places his hand on his new daughter's shoulder.
"Dad…" Kirara turns to face him and hugs him tightly.
"Let's go!" Kagome smiles happily as she drags Inuyasha, Wren, and Shippo out the door.
"Kirara, would you like to go with them?" Sango asks quietly.
"Mom, can you two come with me?"
"I'm sorry honey, we have work today," Miroku sighs sorrowfully.
"Okay, I'll see you soon then," Kirara hugs both her new parents.
Down at the beach house, that Kagome and Inuyasha own, everyone seems to be having fun. Kagome and Inuyasha are sitting in the beach house, while the kids are playing on the beach. The teens are laughing and splashing around a bit when they hear a scream and two gun shots from the beach house!
"Mom! Dad!" Wren yells and begins to run towards the noise.
Kirara and Shippo grab him and try to drag him away, but he breaks free of them, flinging Shippo into the sand while Kirara clutches onto Wren's arm in pure terror as he runs to the house, "SHIPPO! CALL THE COPS!" Kirara screams as the beach flashes farther away as Wren is dragging her with him toward the house.
Wren flings open the door and begins to shake with fear as he sees the blood. His mouth is in a narrow line as he comes upon the fallen forms of his parents.
"No!" Kirara gasps in horror. "No! No! No! No!" Kirara lets go of Wren's arm and buries her face into his shirt and beings to cry. "Who would do this? Who could do this?"
Wren feels his heart lurch. He looks down at Kirara and hugs her tightly to him. He feels a great sadness fall upon him as he takes Kirara out of the house and away from the sight of his dead parents. The sirens are approaching them at a fast pace.
The police and paramedics enter the house. One man comes out and bluntly tells them, "They're dead. Gunshot to the head. Is there anyone you can call to come get you? We also need to take you down to the station…"
"You're not taking us anywhere!" Wren growls, holding onto Kirara possessively.
Shippo runs to his brother and friend, "I'll call Miroku."
"Here kid," an officer, with a sympathetic look on his face, hands them a cell phone.
"Shippo, hand me the phone," Kirara mumbles.
"Are you sure Kirara?" Shippo bites his lip nervously.
"They're dead, brother," Wren feels a chill flow through him, the only warmth he has flowing from Kirara.
"No! Inuyasha-papa would never let Kagome-mama get hurt!" Shippo sits down in shock.
Kirara has taken the phone from Shippo, while Wren and Inuyasha sit on the porch, Kirara sits in Wren's lap, "Daddy, can you come get us? Yes, it's an emergency! Kagome and Inuyasha were murdered! Thanks Daddy… please hurry… bye." Kirara hugs Wren tightly with one arm, as Wren let's his silent tears fall, while holding Shippo's hand and giving him comfort.
Miroku and Sango were stuck in traffic. The police want to take the kids downtown for questioning, but found the kids to be very reluctant to leave. So they let the kids sit on the beach, not knowing that soon they would have a few more problems to deal with.
"Hey guys…" Kirara whispers to get their attention. "Is that smoke? I can smell smoke and melting metals."
They all turn to the sea to see a ship that is sinking rapidly. Shippo runs to the officers and tells them, "Call the coastguard! There's a sinking ship out there!"
"Kid, you have an overactive imagination," it was the cop that had 'oh so gently' broken the news of Kagome and Inuyasha's murder to Wren and Kirara.
"I'm not imagining things!" Shippo screams angrily at the man.
The nicer cop that had handed Kirara his phone looks to where Shippo is pointing, "Harding, call the coastguard! Inform them that there is a ship sinking and where our position is!"
"Yes, Captain," Harding growls in annoyance.
Shippo runs back to the beach where his brother and friend sit, comforting each other, "I got them to call the coastguard!"
"Hey…" Kirara jumps out of Wren's arms and runs into the ocean. "Guys! Help me out here!"
"Kirara, are you okay?" Shippo cocks his head to the side.
"There are people in the water!" Kirara begins to drag a girl out of the ocean. Wren and Shippo grab the girl's arms and help her drag the girl to dry land.
"She's breathing!" Shippo yelps happily.
"Good," Wren sighs but his surprise turns into shock when he feels something caressing his rear. "KIRARA!" Wren shrieks and runs to hide behind her.
"Wren, what happened?" Kirara looks surprised as she looks at Wren strangely.
"She groped me!" Wren tries to hide his face in Kirara's hair.
"Sound's like a female Miroku," Shippo began to chuckle, but his eyes bugged as he felt the girl groping him. "YIPE!" Shippo shrieks and runs to hide behind Kirara.
"Guys, do I look like I'm a shield?" Kirara sighs in annoyance.
Hey everyone, that was the end of chapter 1! Don't be too mad at me, but I'll have Inuyasha and Kagome come back as ghosts or something. Oh yeah! Midterms = This Week! L Oh well, I'll have to deal. Sorry to you Kagome + Inuyasha fans! I'm one of you too! I love Inuyasha and Kagome pairings! I don't really know why I um… well, you know. I guess we'll have to see who is responsible for all the chaos that is going on in Future Japan, and if any of this is chaos is hitting the Feudal Era as well. Later!
