Chapter?: Demon cars and Forest Fires




*******************************



Kagome awoke early. Today was the day Miroku and Sango were due out of the hospital. She had avoided everyone untill now..well..she hadn't realy been avoiding them ..she had just needed time to think.







After getting up, she went to her closet and got out the pink Kimono. She had washed it and hung it up after her first visit to the hospital, with the intent of wearing it again the day they went back to fuedal Japan. And now the day had come.







Getting dressed, she wandered if she would set her plan into action today, it wasn't realy a plan...more like a solution..but...it was a plan in that it was something that she had planned to do.






After getting dressed, she went downstairs to find her mother cooking breakfast, her grandfather and Souta sat at the table. She sat down with them, no reason why she couldn't eat before she left.







As she sat waiting for her food, a question popped into her head. A look of puzzlement appeared on her face.








"hey mom?..How are you paying for Miroku and Sango's medical bills..Im sure their very expensive..?", she asked.






Mrs. Higurashi turned and smiled at her daughter




"Oh, don't worry about that sweety!", she replied, in a way that was slightly disturbing.






And then Mrs.Higurashi turned back to the stove and continued to cook.





Kagome almost asked her mother what she meant by that, but, decided, she would realy rather not know.






"Hey sis, when are you going back with Inu-no-oniichan ?", *see AN*, asked Souta.



Kagome looked at her little brother. Seeing him made her miss Shippo..which made her wander how it would be if she never got to see any of them again..she wouldn't let that happen, even if her plan ended with Inuyasha in hell with Kikyou, she would still visit them.





"Were probably going back today..."







"When are you coming back?"







"that depends.."..he was begining to agitate her.







"Do you need any sacred scrolls or seals?" asked her grandfather.







Kagome in turn just stared at him, as if to say , 'what do you think?'.






Her grandfather made a 'hmph" -like noise and then stared at his empty plate.







Finaly, her mother brought them food.







After they had all finished, and Souta had returned to his video games and her grandfather was off playing with his sacred scroles and seals, Kagome got up from her place at the table.







"mom?", she started, as she walked over to her mother who was washing dishes.






"Yes honey?.", She said, as she turned to her daughter, and then she noticed something." Oh sweety, your wearing that pretty Kimono again! It looks so lovely on you..".








"yes..ok..but..can we go get Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha from the hospital now?"







"Of course sweety! Let me just go get my car keys!"







Kagome sweatdropped.."you DO know where they are this time, right?"





"Of course!"

******************




Soon they had arrived at the hospital.






"Hey mom, why don't you go buy me a new backpack while your waiting on me to come out?", Kagome said in a, rather chipper voice, one that made buying backpacks sound like the most enjoyable thing in the world.






"OK!", Mrs.Higurashi responded enthusiasticaly, and took off, barely giving Kagome any time to get out of the car.







Before she could make it inside the hospital door, strong arms took hold of her and picked her up. Any other girl would have been terrified, but not Kagome, she had been picked up like this many times before, she knew who her 'kidnapper', was.





"Inuyasha! What are you doing?! Put me down!"






"Shut up wench, do you want them to here you?"





"Who is 'them'?, she asked, agitated.





Inuyasha ignored her and jumped high.





Before she knew what was going on, Kagome found herself standing in Sango and Miroku's room. Inuyasha rushed over to the door and locked it.






"Why did we have to come in this way?.", she asked, then, eyeing the broken window, she added, "You do know that opens, right?"







"I had to bring you in this way, so a nurse wouldn't follow you in."








"And why is that..hey..where are Sango and Miroku?"






"Under here..", came a muffled voice from under neath the bed. One that sounded suspicously like Sango.







"What are you doing?!"






"Feh, this is what your mother told them to do!..shes also the one who told me to bring you in this way."






"My mother?! Whats going on!?"







Inuyasha cleared his throat and mimicked Mrs.Higurashi's voice.."Hey little doggy boy! Could you do me a favor? Well, see, it turns out I don't have any money to pay for your little friend's dock-tooor bills, so, I have a little plan! Make your little friends hide so that the nurses will go look for them, when Kagome comes, take her two your little friends room without anyone seeing her, then you all need to sneak out!".





Kagome sighed, her mother was such a ditz.





"I don't think thats the way my mom pronounces 'doctor'..and I realy don't think she talks like that.."






"Feh."





"Miroku, Sango, get out from under the beds.", she ordered.




Slowly, Miroku peaked his head out from under his bed, soon it was followed by the rest of his body, and Sango crawled out from under hers.





"Come on, lets go..", ordered Kagome.






"Um..Kagome, how are we supposed to get down to the ground without killing ourselves?" asked Sango as she peared down out the window.





"Inuyasha" said Kagome simply.





So, Inuyasha brought each of them down, one by one.





"Follow me, before we get arrested." commanded Kagome as she lead them to the parking lot.







"My mom isn't here yet, she went to go get me a new back pack, we will just have to wait.."





Inuyasha sat down on the hard asphalt, as did everyone else.





If you would have brought Kirara, we wouldn't have this problem..and now they might catch us and arrest us..", stated Sango..anxious to get back to her own time period..things were so confusing here..especialy this wierd hard black stuff they were sitting on.





"If we would have brought Kirara, getting arrested would be the least of our problems.", Kagome stated wisely.






"What happened to your old back pack?", asked Miroku.






"umm..its got a little bit of blood on it..", replied Kagome.







"A little?", snorted Inuyasha..






Kagome ignored him.






After sometime, Mrs. Higurashi drove back up to the group.






Immediatly, Sango and Miroku stood up and got themselves in a defense position.





"Its not a demon you guys..", Kagome informed, somewhat amused at their actions.






"Its..not?", asked a puzzled Miroku.






"No, see, look inside, see, my mom's inside it."





"It ate your mother?!"





"No you bakkas, its a car, it transports things using magic!" informed Inuyasha, as he approached the car, as if to prove it was harmless.




After a little explaining, everyone boarded the car.





"Here sweety! I got you a new back pack!", Mrs. Higurashi said as she handed her daughter a back pack that looked identical to her last one.





"WATCH THE ROAD MOTHER!", Kagome warned, as a car swereved in front of them, barely missing them.





"Sorry sweety! Did you and your friends have any trouble getting out?"







"No mom, we sneaked out of the hospital illegaly without any complications....by the way..when did you talk to Inuyasha?"





"Oh sweety! I called him everyday to see how your friends were doing, oh, I forgot to ask, How are you two doing?"






"Were actualy completely healed.", Sango told Mrs.Higurashi, in a voice a kindergarden teacher would use on her students.






"WANDERFUL!", she exclaimed. And looked in the backseat at Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku, she smiled at all three of them.







"MOM THE ROAD!"







"oh right! sorry sweety!"






Kagome looked back at her poor friends, who were not used to driving in a car, much less her mother's driving. Miroku looked horrified..Sango looked as if she were trying to control the urge to scream, and Inuyasha looked slightly concerned.





"Oh look! Isn't that field of flowers lovely!", Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed as she turned her head to look out the side window.






"THE ROAD MOTHER! THE ROAD!", Kagome honestly didn't know how her mother stayed alive without her there.








"Oh yes, the road!", she said as she turned back around.







The rest of the ride went on basicaly like that, Mrs.Higurashi forgetting what she was doing, and Kagome reminding her.
Finaly, they arrived back at Kagome's home.







Sango and Miroku both jumped out of the car almost before it had come to a complete stop, Inuyasha waited on the car to stop, but was still pretty quick to get out.







"So are you all staying any longer or are you leaving right away?"





Kagome was about to say that she was going to pack and then leave, but was inturpted by both Miroku and Sango.






"Oh, were all leaving right now!, I think I left a fire burning somewhere..those could burn down a hole forest! Right Houshi Sama?"







"Oh yes..I think we both left fires burning..that could do twice the damage! We better leave right away!"





Inuyasha snickered at Miroku and Sango's lame attempts at lieing.





Kagome couldn't help but giggle.





"Oh well then you better leave soon! I wouldn't want the forest to burn down!, that could change history!"





Kagome sighed at her mother's stupidity, Sango and Miroku ran towards the well house.






"I'm just going to go pack first, Inuyasha, Why don't you go keep them from jumping down the well and hurting themselves.", Kagome told Inuyasha, as she had visions of Sango and Miroku attempting to go through the well by themselves and only falling to the bottom.





"Feh.." he replied as he made his way to the well house.




"BUT THE FIRES!!", exclaimed her mother.








"It'll be alright, mother, why don't you just come on inside and help me get packed!", Kagome said, once again making what she told her to do sound like the greatest thing in the world.









"Ok! Oh, I could make cookies too!"









"I don't think we have time for cookies...remember the fires..?"






"Oh, right, lets hurry and get you packed."







And so they did.





************************Meanwhile, back in Fuedal Japan***


Seshoumaru sat down on a clean rock, so as not to dirty his pretty white outfit.





"What are we doing Seshoumaru-sama!?"





"Were going to find out who killed Naraku.", he answered the curious little girl, who just continued to stare at him.





"Sit down.", he ordered, and the little girl plopped herself down on the ground.





"NOT THERE!", he said, in what, could, almost be described as, horror,"you'll dirty your Kimono!"





Rin promptly stood up and seated herself onto a rock near Seshoumarus.





"Rin dousn't think we can find out who killed the meanie guy by just sitting down."





"I know that! now hush!", he commanded.





Seshoumaru continued to try and think of someone who might know something, when suddenly, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. Rin was waving her hands around in the air, but she was still sitting.




"What is it now? You may speak."





"Rin knows someone who might know something!"





"Who?", asked Seshoumaru skepticaly, the little girl couldn't possibly know something he didn't.





" Rin thinks the fan lady might know!"





"Fan Lady?"





"the one that flies on the feather!"



'The one that flies on the feather?' Oh yes, the wench who had tried to bribe me into killing Naraku...she probably knew what had happened..for a small human..Rin could be intelligent..'






"Come..lets go Rin."






"Where are we going Seshy?"





Seshoumaru went to a nearbye tree and banged his head on it a few times, it seemed to now be his automatic reaction to that name..
After finishing. He walked back over to a frightened and confused Rin.





"Were going to go find Kagura...don't call me that anymore."

Okie..so that was the chapter..realy great huh? Wasn't my best..but i had to get them back from the hospital..


Note to Bubbles:
I redid a paragraph or two in my last chapter, I think Bubbles is the only one who read the first version..I realized it sounded realy confusing and didn't make much sense..so I shortened it and fixed it alittle..its the part where kagome is in her room thinking..just go back and reread that part and you will be fine and dandy...any way..I realy appreciate all the flattery and stuff...and just looking at this imaginary picture makes me feel so encouraged..anyway..reread that thing..I think you read the crappy version..thanks for the reviews..



Favorite Reviewers are: Bubbles and Kaylana *sends them each and imaginary Naruko's bloody and and gory body, without a head..sense they already have the head*..NOW YOU CAN CREAY THE WHOLE SCENE! Just lay his imgainary head down a few feet awat from his imaginary body..GOOD JOB!



Anyway..Bye...ill update soon..
