The Legend
By: Kurama
Hey everyone! I've been so caught up in school work, I haven't had time for anything else.(that's what I get for being a senior.) it's labor day weekend, and that means I have some free time, so I thought it best that I got this chapter out. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Hi people Hiroshi here; Kurama-san has left me in charge of the disclaimer for this chapter!! *Brings out index cards* hmmm.I'm really bad at speeches so I had to put it down on index cards.. ahem!! "As you probably know, the characters of Inu Yasha does not belong to anyone but Rumiko Takahashi. Her brilliant mind brought them to life and it would be a great unjust if anyone else were to take credit for her work" *looks to readers* how'd I do? (Sees other members of the story sprawled out on the ground asleep) ^_^; ok, so it needs a little work.
Responses to reviewers:
Itsuko: I'll try as best as I can. I sometimes write these things on the 'spur of the moment' so I don't really pay attention to length.
Falling star9: Thanks for reviewing! The reason I have been slow coming out with chapters is because I've been putting serious thought into how I want the story to go, so thanks for staying with me! ^_^
Crazytomboy1: ^_^; true, we only need one K?ga (I don't even want to think what two would be like.(K?ga: hey!))
Treuse: (Hiroshi: *looking scared* whoa pal, push it any farther and you'll have to deal with y?ko.) Y?ko: listen you little *beep*, I don't give a *beep* how you feel about the story, if you don't like it, then you can just *beep* *beep* *beep*...Kurama: OK Y?ko! That's ENOUGH!! To put it in a better way: You have no obligation to read my story; the choice was yours to do so. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to give me your opinion, but how I write is how I write; and therefore, I understand that not everyone will like it. Heather Christi: Thanks ^_^
Chapter 10:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The girl from the future had accepted her job of protecting the jewel, but quickly learned that to protect it she had to learn to use her powers. With that in mind, she took up miko lessons from Kaede. The lessons were hard, but Kagome stayed with it and received great results for her efforts. A month now had passed since Kagome had first arrived and now she was a trained miko protecting the jewel; but as each day passed Kagome began to think more and more of her family, longing very much to see them.
Inu Yasha, Hiroshi, and Ranma's promise to stay with her was cut short when their pack started to have trouble with a wolf pack from the north who wanted some of their territory. All three of them had to go and help keep the territory secure.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Kagome wiped her sweaty brow as she finished collecting healing herbs for Kaede; all she had to do now was to take them back to hut. As she came upon to hut, she noticed two large dogs, being Kaji and K?ri, lying on the porch. The two dogs immediately got up and greeted her with happy barking; this alerted the occupants in the hut.
Kagome was surprised when she saw Inu Yasha coming out of the hut, and greeted him with a hug.
"Inu Yasha! I didn't expect to see you here so soon! Is the war over?"
Inu Yasha's face was all smiles as he nodded his head, "Yeah. It took a while but those wolves finally realized who they were dealing with!"
Kagome gave a small smirk, "you're starting to sound like k?ga, a little."
Inu Yasha made a face, "you had better be kidding!"
Kagome laughed, "You know me better then that! Where are Hiroshi and Ranma by the way?"
Inu Yasha shook his head, "Sessh?-maru wouldn't let them come, in case the wolves came back. 'Guess he allowed me to come because 'I have responsibility to keep tabs on the jewel.' Oh well, it's an excuse to see you; so I'm not complaining."
Kagome blushed deeply, truth be told, for sometime now kagome had realized that she had feelings for the demon, and what he had just said didn't help any.
Inu Yasha noticed her red cheeks, but for the fact that he was a little naïve when it came to woman emotions he was a little confused, "hey Kagome, do you feel alright? Your cheeks are red."
Kagome replied, " ^_^; I feel just fine!"
They went inside the hut and had supper with Kaede. As she ate, Kagome, once again, began to think of her family and finally gathered the courage to ask Kaede the question she had been meaning to ask all a long.
"Kaede-ba-san, if I came here from the bone-eaters well, wouldn't I be able to go home through it?"
Inu Yasha looked a little surprised but said nothing, and allowed the old priestess to speak, "It may be possible, but I am not sure. Until you proved true that the well was some transport through time, it was just a story to amuse ourselves with."
Inu Yasha's eyes held almost a look of pity "Do you miss your family, Kagome?"
Kagome nodded her head, "I enjoy being here with all of you, but I do miss them."
Inu Yasha gave a sigh, "then I'll take you to the well in the morning" she noticed that he didn't look happy about it.
The next morning was a gloomy one as Sango, Miroku, Kaede, K?ri, and Inu Yasha walked with Kagome to the old well. Kagome was greatly surprised, when they had arrived there and found Kaji, K?ga, Hiroshi, Ranma, Jur?, the twins: Rizu and Mizu, and even Sessh?-maru waiting for them. Kagome was glad they were there; she didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to everyone. Hiroshi seemed to be the most visibly upset; Kagome had begun to think of Hiroshi and Ranma as brothers. She hugged them both, and when she turned to hug Jur? she was surprised to see that he was not as upset as Hiroshi. The twins smiled at her and even Sessh?-maru showed a hint of a smile in his usually emotionless face. Sango and Miroku hugged her with wishes for luck in the future, and Kaede gave her healing herbs if she ever needed them. K?ga gave her a small hug as well. Kaji and K?ri both wined and nuzzled against her. After that everyone, besides Inu Yasha, left for Kaede's hut. Everyone had the same thought in mind to give the two some time alone. Inu Yasha stayed dead quite having no idea what to say to the future girl. Kagome, unable to take the silence any longer, hugged Inu Yasha with her face buried in his chest, "why does this have to happen?!? Why can't I just let you go?!?" Inu Yasha's eyes widened in surprise and then softened when he understood, "Because you don't want to..I don't want you to." Kagome looked up at in shock, but before she could say anything she felt lips on hers. When he pulled away she tried to look at his eyes but he purposely kept them covered with his bangs. Kagome was once again about to say something when he picked her up and dropped her in the old well..
*Sniff, sniff* well that was a sad chapter. But don't worry guys it ain't over yet! Once again I'm sorry that I haven't updated in soo long. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and review for me!!! -Kurama
