Chapter 5
'Kagome is home. Finally. I was wondering when she would come back. It has been so long since we have seen each other, nearly a year.' Sango thought looking at her imouto. 'I wonder what kept her there? A man perhaps? No, Kagome isn't like that. Her jobs are too important to be interfered with any relationships.' Sango sighed silently shaking her head.
"I'm sorry I haven't come in so long. I've had much work to do at the paper and my other job. My last job didn't go as well as I had hoped. They hired people from the spirit realm to take the case."
"It's ok Kagome, I'm glad you have come though, Shippou was getting ready to try jumping through the well himself if you didn't come back sooner heedless of the wards on it. Tell me, what of the people from the spirit realm?"
"I don't know much about them really. They are strong. I got most of the information from a fire-ice apparition who decided to try to get inside my mind. I don't think he even noticed me going through his memories. There are two humans, the apparition and another that I'm not quite sure is human or demon."
"Is it safe there for you now that they're on to you?"
"I'm not sure. I'm almost positive they know it is me, only because I slipped up on my last job. I never quite fully covered my aura enough so I kind of accidentally. um. left residual aura in the home." Kagome laughed nervously.
Sango looked at Kagome in surprise. "You never have forgotten your aura before, why now?"
"I don't know, I think, possibly, that I might have gotten over confident with myself and my job. They had never hired detectives from the spirit world before so I guess I took advantage of that and let my guard down a bit."
"A bit? Kagome, my imouto, you should never let your guard down no matter wha. Hentai!" Sango slapped her husband out of reflex and left Miroku with a giant red handprint of his beloved.
"I see what you mean Sango." Kagome said with a laugh. "Nice to see you again Miroku" Kagome gave him a hug while Sango fought down a blush from being caught in her own words.
"It's good to see you again Lady Kagome. It has been too long." Spoke a man a couple years older than Kagome. His hair was pulled back in a small ribbon at the nape of his neck and he wore black and purple monks robes.
"I know, Miroku. I'm sure you were being your usual self so I'm sure you already know my reasons why."
"You know me to well Lady Kagome." Miroku laughed.
Kagome smiled at her family. Shippou tugging on Kagome's sleeve brought Kagome's attention away from her two friends and to her pup.
"What is it Shippou?" Kagome asked picking up her son.
"I was just wondering it you had any of those chocolates that you used to always bring." Shippou said looking at his mother with curiosity.
"I'm sorry Shippou, I left in a hurry and had no time to get any on my way." Kagome said sadly to her son. " When I come again I'll bring you some."
"Hentai!"
"Lady Sango, koi, please, I didn't mean to displease you."
"Seems not much has changed even though you two are married and have two beautiful children." Kagome said turning her attention to her brother and sister that seemed to have not grown up yet.
"You should see them okaa-san! Miroku still tries to peek on Sango while she's bathing and he's always trying to grope her. Some things never do change do they okaa-san?"
"No Shippou, with these two there will be no such thing as growing up. Right Sango?
"Yes. wait, what am I answering to?"
"See what I mean Shippou? Even Sango admits it." Kagome said with a smile to her son while ignoring her sister's question and growing murderous rage.
[I really want to stop there but since my chapters haven't been that long I'll continue. ^_^]
*~*~* In The Future at Sunset Shrine *~*~*
Kurama walked through the well house slowly assessing the old structure. Walking up to the center of the small room, he ran his hand over the edge of the well. He couldn't feel the energy radiating off it. The energy is on a to high plane of existence to be felt by any mortal hands, but the energy was there non-the-less.
'How can a human woman be able to vanish completely leaving not a trace to go by? The pulse of energy put out must have been her using her powers to transport herself. But if she used her powers to transport herself somewhere without a trace then how was she able to threaten Hiei like that? She must be somewhere near for no one can mind talk over long distances, or can she? She isn't what you'd call a 'normal' ningen.' The red head thought trying to figure out what happened in this room just minutes before.
Running his hand along the edge of the well he looked down into the black abyss. He knew something was off about this place but was unable to put his finger on it. He couldn't find any traces of magic or energy on it but was still convinced that this wasn't a normal well.
He walked outside and picked up a stray stone. He decided that he wanted to know how deep the well was. The room wasn't lit so the bottom of the well could not be seen. Walking back inside with the short youkai following behind out of curiosity about what his friend was doing, though her wouldn't admit it to anyone, he approached the well again. He looked down and the tossed the small stone into the well.
Any normal stone would have hit the bottom of the well, though this one instead, got incinerated by an unknown force. Kurama blinked in surprise. This was defiantly not what he expected. He looked over at Hiei and the back down the well again.
"Hiei, can you sense anything coming from the well at all?"
"Hn. no"
"Strange. Let me try again." The red head said and left to get another stone.
When he returned he tossed the stone down the well. Watching more closely this time, Kurama saw the white electric bolts shoot out from the sides of the well. When the bolts made contact with the stone it was evaporated into nothing.
"Interesting. There must be something special about this well that she had to put a protection ward around it. Hiei, when I dropped the stone in did you sense anything coming from it?"
"No"
"I think I'll report this to Koenma. Then I'll return and keep watch with you."
"Hn."
Ok, I'll end it there for now. I'm really happy about the amount of reviews this story is getting. I've never gotten this many reviews so early on in a story.*starts jumping around giggling, clapping* ok ahem, sorry. Anyways, I have not decided on a pairing but I think that there won't be one. I know you all love pairings and always look forward to having a pairing in a story but I cant think of anything to go along with the story with any of the already said characters. I know before I said if I had a pairing it would have to be unique and I just got the most horrendous idea in my head. Don't ask why I thought it but I had a bad Kagome/Kuwabara thought.*shudders* Don't worry. That will definatly be NOT happening! Kuwabara needs an airhead of a girlfriend (sorry to all you Kuwabara lovers) Anywho, Thank you all for reviewing and keep them coming even if it is just to say 'moo' (don't ask, long story behind that one). One of these days im going to post a thing saying thank you to all you reviewers answering anything there is that has been asked if it hasn't already been answered. If you have any questions I'll be more than willing to answer them. Again, thanks for reviewing!
