Chapter 13:
In the white room:
"You know, if they catch you..." The female voice started.
"Yes, I know." The male replied.
*-*? OoO?
Inuyasha was walking down a dirt path in a park. Sango and Miroku had been married for 19 years and had two children, twins, not identical. One boy and one girl. They were about 5 years old. The girl was named Tora and the boy was named Tori.
Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha had kept in touch even though Inuyasha and his family had moved to various different locations in Japan, they were currently staying in Tokyo. (To hide that whole "not getting older" thing.)
At the moment it was just him, Shippo, and his father. Mrs. Inu had died of a sickness 7 years ago and Sesshomaru had, finally, mated with Rin(They had 1 child. Currently still a baby.).
Inuyasha had broken up with Kikyou after he had found out about her cheating with Naraku (about 5 minutes after she destroyed Kagome.), it was sort of a mutual brake up though. Kikyou wanted nothing to do with him after she had seen him as a half-demon. Not that it was his appearance that she didn't like, it was the fact that he was a youkai.
Kikyou went out with Naraku for 3 years before he told her that he, in fact, was a half-demon, then she broke up with him. She is currently unmarried.
Inuyasha sighed. He was bored. Not much had happened after they moved from Kyoto. Inuyasha looked up at the already setting sun. A few stars had already come out.
A pink ball rolled up to his feet. A small girl, with wavy black hair, that went down to her shoulders, and blue eyes, ran up to him. She bent down and picked up the ball. Her eyes looked at him with question for a while, then she smiled. "You have doggie ears!"
Inuyasha stepped back. How did this girl know this? He was wearing the spell and everything. The girl giggled and ran up to a man in about his 30's. "Daddy! That man's got doggie ears!"
"Kagome....Only youkai have weird ears, and when they go out in the public they cover them up." The man explained. But the girl persisted.
"But daddy! LOOK!!!" She pointed her finger at Inuyasha.
The man sighed and walked over to Inuyasha. "Look, I'm really sorry about--Inuyasha?"
"Um...Do I know you?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's me, Souta. Kikyou's cousin, we met at Kagome's funeral."
"Oh, yea. Now I remember you." Inuyasha looked at the little girl that was bouncing her ball and looking at him. "So you named your daughter Kagome, huh?"
"Yea. So, in your youkai form....do you have dog ears?"
"Yea, actually." Souta looked at Kagome.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome again, now that he thought about it, she looked just like the Kagome he knew, only chibi.
^0^ -_-0
"Look, Kari, I think we seriously need to think about taking Kagome to Kaede." Inuyasha heard Souta tell this 'Kari' person from outside their house.
"No, our child is a NORMAL little girl, not some freak!" Kari hissed at him.
"Being a miko does not make someone a freak. It's only natural, we do live in a shrine. There have been tons of mikos and monks in this family line."
"Well, Kagome is not one of them!"
Inuyasha sighed and shook his head. There was a tugging at his side. He looked down, there was Kagome. "Could I touch your ears?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because, I said so."
"Why did you say so?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?"
"Why not?" Inuyasha was starting to get very annoyed.
"Because I don't want you to."
"That's not a reason."
"Yes, it is."
"Nuh-uh!"
"Uh-hu!"
* 20 minutes later *
"NUH-UH!"
"UH-HU!!!"
Kagome kicked Inuyasha in the shin. "IT IS NOT!"
"You little-" Inuyasha cut himself off. Mentally, he counted to ten.
"Where you going to say 'bitch'?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome in shock. Where did a little girl that age get such a colorful vocabulary? "That's what my mommy always says when I do something wrong or something."
Inuyasha shook his head. What a loving family. Kagome looked over to a big tree surrounded by a fence.(The god tree. or sacred tree.) Inuyasha followed her gaze. "Its a big tree, what about it?"
Kagome walked over to the tree starring at it in wonder. "I can feel it. The tree, it's happy."
"I guess..." Inuyasha shrugged, walking over to the tree.
"It's been sad since before I can remember..." Inuyasha looked at Kagome and noticed that her eyes were dull and faded, as if she were in a trance. "I think it's because you are here. There is a connection to this tree somehow." Inuyasha was kinda freaking out, so he pushed her forward a bit. "Hey! Wait, weren't we just over...." Kagome shook her head, "Oops, I must have...blanked-blacked out again." She looked at Inuyasha. "Mommy and Daddy say I do that a lot."
/I\**
"Come this way Kagome." And old woman dressed in red and white miko robes told her. She held out her hand and lead Kagome away from her parents.
A while later they came back out. "Well," The old woman started. "I have come to the conclusion that Kagome is not a miko."
Kagome's mom sighed happily.
"But she's not exactly not one either."
"What?" Her parents asked.
"Not even I know that. She has power, do not mistake that. But they aren't exactly the holy powers of a miko. They aren't bad ones either. It is hard to describe." The old woman paused.
"Kaede, is there anything you can do to help her?" Souta asked.
"Yes, once a week just bring her over to me and I'll help train her." Kagome smiled.
"OH! CAN WE?! CAN WE?! CAN WE?!" Kagome jumped up and down.
"Sure." Souta smiled.
"No." Kari said sternly.
Souta looked at his wife. "What are you talking about?" He hissed under his breath.
"I let you take her this far. I will not let you take this any farther." She hissed back. "She is going to have a nice, normal childhood."
Kaede walked over to where Kagome was playing with a small flower that was barely blooming. "When you start to get your training here, I can teach you how to make that flower grow and bloom." She said.
Kagome smiled. "Really?! Do it!"
"I cannot. I do not have the power, but you, my child, do."
^0^ -_-0
Kagome ran into the forest next to her house, tears streaming down her face. She had been taking Kaede's lessons for two years now. "Inuyasha! Where are you?"
In a flash of white, a figure jumped out of one of the trees up a head. Kagome ran into him and started sobbing louder. "What's wrong?" He asked softly.
"M-M-My parents-th-they're g-getting a divorce! A-and I-I-I dont-t know w-who I'm gonna live with! I'm scared." Inuyasha patted her back.
"Um..Uh, don't worry.....please. It, um... It'll be ok. I think you're going to get to live with your dad. No offence in any way, but your mom kinda acts like she doesn't want you." Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, she had fallen asleep.
He sighed. Time to take Kagome back to the shrine. He walked out of the forest, where Souta was calling for Kagome. When Souta saw Inuyasha emerge from the forest with Kagome he ran up to him. "Inuyasha!" 'I should have known....that's where she always goes....'
Inuyasha handed Kagome over to her father and jumped back into the forest.
^0^ -_-0
The bell rang in a small dinner in Tokyo. One of the waitresses looked up from wiping off one of the tables. "Inu-chan!"
Inuyasha gave a short wave to her and sat down in one of the booths. He had been living in Tokyo with Shippo for sometime now. His father had married another youkai, that's about the time Inuyasha moved out, taking Shippo with him. He now had a sister. (Any other info on her is unknown.)
"So, Inu-chan, what do ya want today?" Kagome asked.
"I don't know..." Inuyasha looked up at Kagome and smiled. "What do you think I should get?"
The bell rang again two teens walked in...they looked awfully similar. They were arguing over something. "No, I do not think hell will freeze over in the next five years!" The girl said.
"Oh, come on. You've seen the proof. In exactly five years, hell will freeze over and the devil will take over the Earth and we will all be his slaves!" The boy ranted as they sat down in a booth.
"Just because when you woke up this morning and your toe was hurting..." They continued to argue.
"Well, I don't know what you want." Kagome said.
"Name stuff." Inuyasha told her.
"Every time I do, you say: "No, that's not what I want.""
Inuyasha smirked.
"You just cant admit you're wrong!" The girl argued.
"No, you're just in denial!" The boy argued back.
Inuyasha growled. "HELL IS NOT GOING TO EVER FREEZE OVER!"
They looked over to him. "Inuyasha?" They said in unison.
Inuyasha looked over to them. "Who are-Tori? Tora?"
"It's been so long!!!!!" Tora and Tori got out of their booth and jumped on Inuyasha, hugging him.
"Guys! I can't breath!!!" Inuyasha gasped.
"How come you haven't visited us in so long, huh, Inu-chan?" Tora whined.
Kagome's face got red from anger. "Ok," She said loudly. "One bowl of shrimp ramen for Inuyasha!"
Kagome walked into the back room, Inuyasha reaching and calling out for her. "But, you know I don't like shrimp!!!"
Kagome stuck her head out from the back room. "DEAL WITH IT!!!" Then, she was gone.
"Someone's on PMS." Tori commented.
"Yup." Tora agreed.
Inuyasha gulped. 'What did I do......And why did she call me Inuyasha?'
Tori pulled away from Inuyasha, deciding that if anyone were to walk in and see him hugging a guy, it would make him look really gay.
Tora, on the other hand, crawled over Inuyasha to sit one the other side of the booth next to him. It was a well know fact that Tora had had a crush on Inuyasha since she got out of the 'Boys are yucky!' stage.
^0^ -_-0
Kouga sat on the counter of the little store. Years long since past he had felt the disappearance of Kagome's soul. She was gone.....He had been depressed for a couple of years afterward. But now, he was ok.
The door to the store opened and a girl with her red hair two pigtails, and a flower behind her ear, wearing a white skirt, a black and red, sleeveless shirt, and a white jacket, walked in. She had beautiful green eyes.
"Hey," Kouga perked up. "I know her, Ayame!"
Ayame walked through the store, putting things into a small red hand-basket, humming to herself. She had just moved to Kyoto with Ginta and Hakkaku, and they needed some of the basics.
She was picking out some cereal when a small child running by bumped into her, knocking her backward, into a pyramid of cans about 10 feet high. (it otta be a bitch trying to get one without knocking the thing over.....)
They fell forward onto her. Kouga jumped off the counter and ran over to the cans. The manager ran through him and moved threw the cans off her. He checked her pulse. "S-She's not breathing......" He announced.
A few minutes later, Ayame's see-through form appeared in the store. "Huh? Kouga, please, tell me what's going on." She sounded scared.
"Come here and I'll tell you all about it." He said.
^0^ -_-0
"So who was the bitch? She knew your name." Tora asked jealously.
"She isn't a bitch." Inuyasha sighed. "And her name is Kagome.....and get your hand off my leg!"
Tora smiled. "Sorry! Now, how did that get there?!"
Kagome walked back out of the backroom with a bowl of steaming shrimp ramen. She slammed it down on the table. "It's the usual price. Anything else you want??!" Kagome growled.
She gave an extremely cold glare to Tora, who had her hand up Inuyasha's shirt.
Inuyasha shook his head 'no' as he grabbed Tora's arm and pulled it out of his shirt. Kagome turned around and began walking to the back room, when she felt an unwelcome hand on her backside. She turned around quickly and bitch-slapped Tori. "I AM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD YOU SICK, TWISTED, MOSLESTER!"
After Kagome left Inuyasha reached over the table and grabbed Tori by the collar of his shirt. "If I ever see you touch Kagome like that again....." Inuyasha's own growl cut him off. He dropped Tori suddenly. "YOU GUYS ARE WORSE THAN YOUR FATHER! Tora, get your hand off my ass! Now!"
"But," She started. "It's so firm, and round, and cute. Inu-chan, don't be mad at me, and why are you so overly protective of that wench?"
^0^ -_-0
Kagome was in the back room cutting vegetables. "Stupid!" She slammed the knife down, it cut into the cutting board. She pulled the knife out of the board with much effort. "Inuyasha!" The process was repeated. "Stupid! Inuyasha! Letting! That! Woman! Call! Him! Inu-chan! And crawl! All over! Him! I! Hate! That! Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Stupid! Stupid! STUPID BASTARD!"
"Um, Higurashi? I get the feeling something's wrong."
Kagome turned around to see Hojo.
"Oh, uh, its nothing, I'm just mad at Inuyasha."
"That guy that always hangs around here when you're on the job? I don't like him, Higurashi, I just get some bad vibes from him."
"He's not a bad guy, Hojo, he happens to be a friend of the family."
"Oh, well, I still don't like him."
^0^ -_-0
Tora was playing with Inuyasha's hair. "You know Inu-chan, we just moved here. You should really go by our house and see mommy and daddy, I'm sure they'd wanna see you. Then you could see my room."
"Uh, I don't think-" Kagome walked out of the back room. "Ka-Kagome!"
Kagome stuck her head upwards. "I don't have to talk to you anymore. My shifts over. And when you get home, if you get home, don't try to talk to me." She walked past them and out the door.
Tora growled angrily. "What did she mean, 'when you get home?' ARE YOU LIVING WITH HER??!!"
Inuyasha inched back to the edge of the booth. "Uh, yeah, and with her dad and Shippo."
"Her dad?"
"Yes,"
"Well, I guess that's ok.....Wait, ya'll aren't going out are you?"
"No."
"Good, I didn't want to have to kill her."
^0^ -_-0
Inuyasha got home around 2:00 A.M. after a nice reunion with Miroku and Sango. He quietly entered the shrine, walked up the stairs, and was about to open his bedroom door when, "What took you so long to get home?!"
Inuyasha turned around to see a very angry Kagome. "Uh, I met with Sango and Miroku, ya know, um, Tora and Tori, the people at the dinner's, parents."
"Oh, you mean those people you go visit every-once-in-a-while?"
"Yea." Inuyasha sighed in relief, thinking he was off the hook.
"So why didn't you call?!"
"Um, I didn't think of it....at the time?"
"Go figure! You NEVER think things through!!" Kagome rambled. She paused for a moment. "You didn't do anything with that girl, did you?"
"Huh? What are you.....You're jealous!"
Kagome stepped back. "No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are. You're-"
"Hey! Could you guys keep your 'lovers spat' down a bit?" Kagome's dad asked from the doorway of his room.
"Ah, sorry about-" Inuyasha started.
"Just go and finish this little conversation outside, would ya?" Souta was in one of his little 'moods'. Best not to mess with him.
"Ok, dad." Kagome said slowly, she grabbed Inuyasha by his sleeve and pulled him towards the stairs.
Once they were outside the house Kagome let go of his sleeve and looked at him. "Now, from where we left off?" She didn't let him say anything before cutting him off. "Never mind. You're right, I was jealous." One of Kagome's mood swings. "Lets go into the forest. I always feel better in there."
"You WERE jealous?" Inuyasha had just been joking.....
"Yeah. I mean." Kagome turned to face him. "You let her call you Inu-chan."
"So? What's that got to do with-"
"I'M only supposed to be able to call you that. Ever since I was little, I'm the only person that you've let call you that!"
"Uh..." Inuyasha was at a loss for words. "That's it?"
Kagome looked at her feet. "Well, kinda."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Whatever, lets just go back inside and go to bed."
"But!"
"Look, if it bothers you that much I'll just ask her to stop. I'm not saying she will, but I'll ask."
"Yay! Thank you!" Kagome jumped at Inuyasha, hugging him, and making them fall down at the same time.
"Keh, Yeah, whatever." Inuyasha blushed.
(A/N: YEAH! Another chapter UP! Stay tuned for the next chapter! Please review! Thanks to all who review! You make me feel so special!!!!

"Um, Higurashi? I get the feeling something's wrong."
Kagome turned around to see Hojo.
"Oh, uh, its nothing, I'm just mad at Inuyasha."
"That guy that always hangs around here when you're on the job? I don't like him, Higurashi, I just get some bad vibes from him."
"He's not a bad guy, Hojo, he happens to be a friend of the family."
"Oh, well, I still don't like him."
^0^ -_-0
Tora was playing with Inuyasha's hair. "You know Inu-chan, we just moved here. You should really go by our house and see mommy and daddy, I'm sure they'd wanna see you. Then you could see my room."
"Uh, I don't think-" Kagome walked out of the back room. "Ka-Kagome!"
Kagome stuck her head upwards. "I don't have to talk to you anymore. My shifts over. And when you get home, if you get home, don't try to talk to me." She walked past them and out the door.
Tora growled angrily. "What did she mean, 'when you get home?' ARE YOU LIVING WITH HER??!!"
Inuyasha inched back to the edge of the booth. "Uh, yeah, and with her dad and Shippo."
"Her dad?"
"Yes,"
"Well, I guess that's ok.....Wait, ya'll aren't going out are you?"
"No."
"Good, I didn't want to have to kill her."
^0^ -_-0
Inuyasha got home around 2:00 A.M. after a nice reunion with Miroku and Sango. He quietly entered the shrine, walked up the stairs, and was about to open his bedroom door when, "What took you so long to get home?!"
Inuyasha turned around to see a very angry Kagome. "Uh, I met with Sango and Miroku, ya know, um, Tora and Tori, the people at the dinner's, parents."
"Oh, you mean those people you go visit every-once-in-a-while?"
"Yea." Inuyasha sighed in relief, thinking he was off the hook.
"So why didn't you call?!"
"Um, I didn't think of it....at the time?"
"Go figure! You NEVER think things through!!" Kagome rambled. She paused for a moment. "You didn't do anything with that girl, did you?"
"Huh? What are you.....You're jealous!"
Kagome stepped back. "No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are. You're-"
"Hey! Could you guys keep your 'lovers spat' down a bit?" Kagome's dad asked from the doorway of his room.
"Ah, sorry about-" Inuyasha started.
"Just go and finish this little conversation outside, would ya?" Souta was in one of his little 'moods'. Best not to mess with him.
"Ok, dad." Kagome said slowly, she grabbed Inuyasha by his sleeve and pulled him towards the stairs.
Once they were outside the house Kagome let go of his sleeve and looked at him. "Now, from where we left off?" She didn't let him say anything before cutting him off. "Never mind. You're right, I was jealous." One of Kagome's mood swings. "Lets go into the forest. I always feel better in there."
"You WERE jealous?" Inuyasha had just been joking.....
"Yeah. I mean." Kagome turned to face him. "You let her call you Inu-chan."
"So? What's that got to do with-"
"I'M only supposed to be able to call you that. Ever since I was little, I'm the only person that you've let call you that!"
"Uh..." Inuyasha was at a loss for words. "That's it?"
Kagome looked at her feet. "Well, kinda."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Whatever, lets just go back inside and go to bed."
"But!"
"Look, if it bothers you that much I'll just ask her to stop. I'm not saying she will, but I'll ask."
"Yay! Thank you!" Kagome jumped at Inuyasha, hugging him, and making them fall down at the same time.
"Keh, Yeah, whatever." Inuyasha blushed.
