Chapter Four: Reunited
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha, but I am currently keeping him in a 2-
gallon drum fishbowl. He goes *squish* when I put him in there.
IY: Bitch.
Arisha-chan: SIT!
IY: *With face planted firmly in the carpet* Grrr...
Arisha-chan: *Looks at readers* YOU! READ! NOW!

Chapter Four
-----------------------
"Sweet holy hell! Are you trying to make me piss myself?" Kumiko screamed
at the hanyou that was now looking down at her and growling. His eyes
widened at her tone, but quickly narrowed again, wishing to assert himself
as the dominant male.
"Who the hell are you and what were you doing in Kagome's well?" asked Inu
Yasha, growling out each syllable, obviously trying to intimidate the
younger female hanyou.
"Who the hell are you to be all up in my face?" growled Kumiko, her green
eyes flaring red for a moment. Inu Yasha noticed this and backed off
slightly, but kept his angry amber gaze on her. Their glares broke,
however, when a high-pitched shriek rang through the air.
---------------
"Kagome!" shrieked the ball of orange-red fluff as it flung itself at
Kumiko's chest.
"What the-OOMF!" cried Kumiko, falling to the ground as she desperately
tried to disentangle herself from the orange Velcro ball that had attached
itself to her t-shirt. Suddenly, though, the small furry creature ceased
his hold on her after sniffing for a few seconds.
"Hey! You're not Kagome!" it screamed, running and hiding behind the male
half-demon, his nose working overtime on trying to figure out what was
going on.
"What the fuck is going on here?" demanded Kumiko, looking back and forth
suspiciously from the other Inu hanyou to the orange ball of fuzz behind
him. "First you scream at me for being in a well, of all things, get all
up in my face about it, then this... this.. fuzzy thing calls me 'Kagome'
and rams into me at like, mach ten, and now you're just going to stand over
there and stare at me? What the hell!"
Inu Yasha looked down at his small companion, and then back at the
obviously enraged female who was glaring at him so intently.
"What do you mean, 'thing?' Haven't you ever seen a kitsune youkai
before?" he asked, looking at her incredulously.
"Oh my god, you're an idiot," growled Kumiko, turning to walk away from the
moronic hanyou and the kitsune child behind him. She looked around and
chose a path that looked well worn, and started down it.
"Hey, where are you going?" called the kitsune, leaving Inu Yasha' side to
bound after her. Kumiko stopped and stared at him.
"I'm going to try to figure out where the hell I am," she stated, blandly.
She knelt down to the kit's level and looked at him. "I guess you kind of
do look like a fox. Would you like to come with me?" she asked.
"Sure! What's your name?" asked the child, his eyes glittering with
happiness from his newfound acceptance with this girl who reeked of his
long-lost Kagome.
"I am Youshen, I mean, Higurashi Kumiko," she replied, almost forgetting
about her earlier adoption. "And yours?"
"I'm Shippou!" said the young kit, almost screaming it with his enthusiasm.
Smiling, he ran up her body, literally, and took his place on her
shoulder. Kumiko giggled a bit and then continued, walking down the old
path towards the sight of smoke rising in the near distance.
All the while a certain Inu hanyou was watching, trying desperately to
control his anger. 'How dare that little runt do this to me!' he thought.
'Kagome is supposed to be reincarnated for me, not him! And what's the
deal with her being reincarnated as an Inu hanyou! And why is her
reincarnation such a damn bitch!' Inu Yasha sulked as he followed behind
the two, keeping and eye out for any dangers that might possibly be a
threat to this new reincarnation of his soul's mate and his adopted son.
-----------------------
"So, ye too, came from the well?" said the old woman, as she hobbled across
the small, worn down hut, her crutch making a loud 'tap-tap-tap' noise as
it hit the splintered wooden floor with each step. "Kami-sama, I fear I
will not make it through this adventure, Inu Yasha," she said, smiling
blindly at the room. Her vision was nearly completely gone in her one good
eye, and her limp had become much worse over the years, with fractured
bones and aching joints a-plenty. Her white haori was yellowed with age
and stains, and her red hakama was faded and frayed. Kumiko thought she
was a pitiful sight, and seeing her made the young girl want to cry. "Aye,
I know why ye be here. I know all this much to well, aye, Inu Yasha?" she
said, looking at the male hanyou with a glitter in her eyes. "Ye be Kikyou-
sama and Kagome-chan's reincarnation. Ye be responsible for the fate of
the sacred jewel, the Shikon."
"What is the Shikon, Kaede-sama?" asked Kumiko, curiosity burning in her
veins.
"Mine, bitch, and that's all you need to know," came a growling voice from
behind her.
"You know, Inu Yasha, if you don't shut the hell up, I might just be
tempted to kill you," said the she-hanyou, her eyes glowing slightly red
after what must have been the twentieth outburst like that from him since
they had arrived at Kaede's hut.
"Aye, ye definitely be Kagome's reincarnation. Ye have her spirit and
tolerance for Inu Yasha," said Kaede, giggling a bit at Inu Yasha's
misfortune. "The Shikon is a most powerful jewel that has the power to
grant the wish of whomever holds it. For instance, it could turn either ye
or Inu Yasha into a full-blooded youkai, or into a normal mortal being such
as myself. It could either bring our entire world crashing down upon us if
it were to reach the hands of someone evil, or it could be purified by a
pure heart and cease to exist. As for ye, Kumiko-sama, I would stay by Inu
Yasha's side for a while, until we know where the Shikon resides. Chances
are that it is in thy body. Stay near him until we can be sure of a way to
get the jewel out of thy body without hurting ye."
"What do you mean, Kaede-baba, 'stay with Inu Yasha?'" yelled the hanyou,
visibly ready to pounce on the old woman.
"Inu Yasha, don't you dare hurt her! She's only telling me that for my
safety, so why don't you just plant your ass back on the floor and listen!"
yelled Kumiko, visibly becoming angrier than she was before.
"I don't have to take this shit from you! You're just a weak female, and
Inferior to me!" yelled Inu Yasha, frustrated that he would have to spend
time with this girl who reeked of Kagome, and now that he noticed it,
looked a lot like her, minus the hair and eye colors and claws. Especially
when she was angry.
"Inu Yasha, put your ass on the floor before I kick it," started Kumiko.
"No, bitch, I don't have to do what you tell me to," said Inu Yasha, trying
to start another argument so he wouldn't think of her as Kagome. However,
Kumiko was furious now. And with his arguing, the fact that she had told
him to sit down twice now, and that she was stressed out enough from being
in a totally different time frame than normal, all her anger built up
inside her and she said the only thing that would come into her mind.
"Inu Yasha, SIT!"
The rosary of prayer beads around Inu Yasha's throat glowed blindingly,
brighter than either he, Shippou or Kaede had ever seen it glow before, and
to the three others in the room besides Inu Yasha, he seemed to fall
towards the floor in slow motion. To Inu Yasha, however, he didn't think
that floor had ever come up to greet him so quickly in his life. His face
slammed against the wood with a sickening slap, and he moaned and fell
still. Shippou and Kaede just looked back and forth from Kumiko to Inu
Yasha, and back again. Kumiko just stared at Inu Yasha; she was
dumbfounded by the way he had suddenly fallen to the floor. Then she
decided to test it, to see if it would happen again.
"Inu Yasha?" she whispered, hoping the obnoxious male was still conscious.
"What, bitch?" she heard from the floorboards,
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What do you want now?" said Inu Yasha, slowly rising up from the floor,
and looking at the female hanyou like she was certifiably insane.
"Sit."
Again Inu Yasha slammed into the floor, only this time, Kumiko laughed
instead of stared, and soon Shippou and Kaede joined in.
"Well, Inu Yasha, it seems that Kumiko-sama's fury is much greater than
either Kagome-sama's or Kikyou-sama's," said Kaede, laughing. "Apparently
the spell transfers with the soul of its controller. Kumiko-sama seems to
hold Kagome-sama's power of 'sit' over ye, Inu Yasha. Ye had best be
careful that you do not anger her, lest she use it to a point of injury for
thyself."
"Damn bitch." Inu Yasha muttered as he sat up. Then, after seeing the evil
glare in Kumiko's eyes, he remembered that she was also a hanyou, and had
the same demonic hearing that he did.
"I won't say it this time, Inu Yasha," she said, softly. "But you had
better watch your ass after this."
"Feh," grumbled the silver-haired half-demon, and he sat down, cross-
legged, on Kaede's floor.
----------------------------------
Night fell shortly thereafter, and as Kaede was bidding the three demons
goodnight, Kumiko remembered something important.
"Oh, shit!" she cried out, standing quickly and running towards the well.
"What is it now, bitch?" yelled Inu Yasha, giving chase to the blue-haired
girl.
"I totally forgot about Souta and Suki! They are going to kill me!
They'll take me back to the orphanage for sure!"
"What are you talking about?" yelled the confused Inu Yasha, running along
side the young girl, feeling protective of her for some reason. Then the
name Souta clicked in his head, Souta, Kagome's little brother. "How do
you know Souta?"
"He's my father, as of today," said Kumiko, still running as fast as she
could towards the well. "And he's going to kill me because they made me
promise not to go into the well!"
"I'm going with you," said Inu Yasha.
"You're what?"
"I'm going with you, and that's the end of it. You can't stop me; I can
just follow you through the well. I have to talk to your family. Kagome,
the one you smell like, the one we mistook you for, you past life," he
explained. "Was your aunt." 'And my mate,' he thought, but he kept his
thoughts silent.
"Fine, you can come with, but you better not get me into more trouble,"
snarled Kumiko, angry with herself for having forgotten to come back before
they got home. They reached the well in record time and Kumiko didn't even
stop as she leapt into the mouth of the well. Inu Yasha followed and soon
they were back in present-day Tokyo.

Arisha-chan: Well, I hoped you all enjoyed it! Hopefully I will be more
timely with my next update! I apologize profusely for the time lapse in
between! Also, as for the 'sit' thing, we all know that Inu fanfics aren't
as funny or entertaining unless Inu gets a face full of floor every once in
a while, so I made it so that Kumiko got the power of 'sit' because she in
Kagome's reincarnation. *Puts leash back on Inu Yasha.* Ja ne, everyone!
*Inu Yasha gets down on all fours, sighs, and follows as Arisha chan walked
