Chapter 1 *As Normal as Things Can Get*
"Inu-Yasha sit!!!" Kagome screamed.
"Argh!!!" A yell of pain sounded accompanied by a KABOOM!!
"Do they always do this when Kagome has to go home?" Sango asked.
"Unfortunately yes." Shippo groaned "Inu-Yasha should be in a bad mood for the next few days."
"Will Kagome be back by then?" Sango inquired, wanting to know more about this traditional event.
"Yes, Lady Kagome will be back by then. If she's not, Inu-Yasha will go after her." Miroku walked up to them carrying some herbs from Kaede.
"Stupid wench!" Inu-Yasha walked toward them holding his head. Dirt covering the front of his kimono and parts of his face.
"She got ya good this time Inu-Yasha!!!!" Shippo said, attempting to suppress laughter.
"Well, you don't have that control over me!!! So, I could pound you right now runt!!!!" Inu-Yasha's anger erupted on the little Kitsune demon.
"Yieee!!!!!!" Shippo clung to the back of Sango's clothes.
Miroku hit Inu-Yasha upside the head with his staff.
"What the hell was that for?!" Inu-Yasha yelled.
"While Lady Kagome's gone, I will be protecting Shippo."
********
Kagome climbed out of the Bone-Eaters Well. She sighed, "Why does Inu-Yasha have to make such a big deal about me going home?"
"Welcome home Kagome!" Sota greeted his elder sister.
"Hey Sota! How're things back here?"
"They're fine, did you bring Inu-Yasha back with you? He's so cool!"
"No way!!!! I had to pedal as hard as I could and then scream 'sit' to get him off my case!!!" Kagome snapped.
"Sheesh, sorry I asked."
"So, Gramps running out of illnesses yet?"
"Not by a long shot! He just diagnosed you with breast cancer!!!!"
"I'll kill him!" Kagome stormed up to her house, looking for her grandfather.
**************
"You better come back soon Kagome." Inu-Yasha sulked in a tree.
"You're right Shippo, he is grumpier than usual when Kagome's away!" Sango observed as she petted Kirara, her demonic cat.
"Indeed, Shippo. Oh, and he's cooled down somewhat, you can come out." Miroku said.
"Are you sure?" Shippo slowly crawled out of a tree stump.
****************
"I can't believe I forgot I have an exam tomorrow! Study! Study! Study!" Kagome quickly skimmed her Social Studies text book. "Well, at least it's not Math."
After hours of studying Kagome fell asleep at her desk. She awoke the next morning fifteen minutes before the scheduled time of her exam.
"Ohhhh!!!!! Noooo!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as she scrambled to get ready. Then she raced to her school. She just made it before the late bell.
"Welcome back Kagome!! How're you feeling? Are you sure you should be back at school so soon?!" Ari, one of her friends asked concerned.
"I'm feeling fine!" Kagome said feeling very determined.
The teacher passed out the exams, clapped his hands, and said, "Begin!"
Kagome rubbed her temples, 'What's the capital of Utah? I forgot to study the United States of America!!!'
An hour later Kagome trudged out feeling dizzy and tired. "I totally failed that."
"Kagome!"
"Hojo! Hi!"
"I didn't think you'd be back at school so soon."
"Oh. I only came today for exams."
"Ok, well I hope you get better soon. Here, I got these for you." He gave her a package.
She read the label. "Medicenal Spice Candals?"
"Yeah, they're supposed to help with any illness. See you later!"
"Thanks!!" Kagome called as Hojo rode off on his bike.
*******************
Inu-Yasha grinded his teeth together as Myoga finished his tale. "Lord Inu- Yasha, won't you go after the shards I have informed you about?"
"Yeah, as soon as I drag Kagome back." Inu-Yasha jumped out of the tree and headed toward the well.
"Where are you going Inu-Yasha?" Miroku asked as he saw Inu-Yasha quickly walk toward the ancient well.
"To get Kagome."
"But, Lady Kagome told us three days!"
"Well, too bad! There's a jewel shard at stake!" Inu-Yasha jumped into the well.
******************
Kagome sat in the grass under the cool shade of a tree talking with Sota. "It's peaceful here, too bad it's so close to the mini shrine." Sota yawned as he rubbed Buyo's ear.
"Why is it too bad?" Kagome copied his yawn.
"Look behind you."
Kagome turned to see half demon Inu-Yasha standing behind her, looking quite annoyed. "If you're finished with your little chat, can we go?" Inu- Yasha raised as eyebrow.
"Because Inu-Yasha can get to you easier." Sota finished his statement.
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome jumped up. "I told you three days!"
"Well, I need you to come back now!!!!"
"Let me guess, where abouts of a jewel shard are known."
"Yep, let's go." He grabbed her wrist and started dragging her back to the well.
"Hey! Wait a minute!!!"
"What now?!"
"I need my pack!!"
"No, you don't!!!"
"Sit!"
Inu-Yasha slammed into the ground head first. Kagome raced up to her room to quickly pack. Inu-Yasha jumped through her open window.
"Hurry up." He snorted.
"Fine." She quickly packed some things and left, going toward the mini shrine.
Inu-Yasha followed after her back into the Feudal Era.
"Kagome!" Shippo jumped into her arms. "Inu-Yasha's been so mean!"
"It's okay, Shippo, I'm here now."
"Feh." Inu-Yasha put his arms in the sleeves of his kimono.
"Welcome back Lady Kagome." Miroku stood up.
"Shall we go?" Sango put her boomerang bone on her back.
They all started off to the area Myoga had described. The sun starting to sink beneath the horizon.
********************
Kikyo entered Kaede's hut, she needed a few more answers. "Kaede, wake up."
Kikyo? Sister, what are you doing here again?"
"I have some questions, but first I will inform you of something I have done that may affect the Inu-Yasha's search for the shards greatly."
"Yes?"
"I have given Naraku the shards Inu-Yasha has obtained."
"Why?!"
"Because once Naraku collects all of them I will kill him. That is all you need to know for now."
"What is your question?"
"Naraku has used a Miasma to get a new body, do you know why?"
"Miroku, told me that while they were all battling Naraku blind something happened."
"Go on."
"As soon as things looked dimest, a blinding light and a noise like thunder and lightning found Naraku and shattered his arm and then his body, save his head."
"Who caused such a thing?" Kikyo asked curious.
"From what I have been told, though I still can't believe it, an arrow shot by Kagome."
"You mean that girl almost destroyed Naraku?"
"It would seem."
Kikyo silently stood and walked back out into the night.
"Kikyo, now where will ye go?"
"It is not of your concern. But, I will be back again to ask more about this girl, Kagome." Kikyo started toward the forest, her only company her soul stealers.
********************
Inu-Yasha leaped quickly, Kagome on his back. He was trying to keep track of the scent of the demon with jewel shards. Kirara bounded beside him, with Sango, Shippo, and Miroku on her back.
"There it is!" Kagome yelled seeing a demon in front of them and just catching a glimpse of a jewel shard.
The demon spun around to face them, standing it's ground. It growled at them. The demon looked like a giant lion with black fur and purple stripes. The sunset reflected off the two ivory horns on top of his head. The lion demon's flaming red eyes narrowed on the small group.
Sango readied her boomerang bone and Inu-Yasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga. Kirara returned the growl, her own fur standing on end.
"Inu-Yasha!!!!!! Watch out! The demon's got one shard in each of it's front paws, one in it's tail, and one, two, three in it's forehead!!!!!!"
"Now we're talking!!!! Six shards in one battle!!!!!" Inu-Yasha got ready to use the Wind Scar. "Sango, stir him to the left!!!!!!!!!"
"Right!!!!!" Sango threw her boomerang bone at exactly the right angle. The beast took a dodge to the left landing directly into the line of fire.
"Tetsusaiga!!!!!!" Inu-Yasha swung his sword. The demon never knew what hit him. It plowed into the ground, completely mangled. Green blood covered everything.
"Alright Inu-Yasha!!!" Kagome and Shippo cheered. Kagome ran up to what remained of the demon and removed the six shards. She put them into a little leather bag.
"Let's head toward the forest." Inu-Yasha sheathed his Tetsusaiga and started to walk to the grove of trees nearby.
*********
Rin bit into an apple and chewed. Sesshomaru sitting next to a tree.
"M'Lord Sesshomaru! Shouldn't you be looking for another arm to go steal the Tetsusaiga from Inu-Yasha?!" Jaken piped up wanting to end the uncomfortable silence.
"Soon, Jaken, soon."
"Are you awaiting a scent of another strong demon to reach your nose?"
"I suppose."
Rin stared at them, her eyes voicing the her question. She did not know who this Inu-Yasha was yet.
Sesshomaru stood up abruptly and headed in the direction of a scent. Jaken and Rin ran after.
*******
Inu-Yasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango sat around a campfire talking.
"Kagome's pretty angry with Inu-Yasha ever since she returned." Shippo said.
"Yes, I have noticed that too." Sango agreed.
"Maybe you should go apologize to the lady, Inu-Yasha." Miroku suggested.
"Feh." Inu-Yasha leaned against a tree.
"It would be in the best interest." Miroku added.
"What did I ever do?! All I did was bring her back here, she should be glad she's needed! Speaking of which, where is she?"
"She went into a hot spring nearby." Sango scratched behind Kirara's ear.
"In that case no way am I going to apologize now!!!!!!!"
"I will apologize for you." Miroku started to get up.
"Oh no you don't you lecherous monk!" Sango hit Miroku on the head with her fist. Miroku sat back down quickly.
He sighed. "You better go and apologize Inu-Yasha. Or one wrong move could mean you tasting dirt."
Inu-Yasha flinched. "Fine."
"Lalalalala." Kagome sighed as she sat in the hot spring. She was feeling a lot better then she had earlier. Until she heard a leaf crunch behind her. She spun around rock in hand. "Who's there?!" She yelled.
"It's just me." Inu-Yasha said perched on a tree branch, looking off into the distance.
"Oh. You're not looking are you?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Of course not."
Kagome looked up at the sky, it was almost night, then she remembered. "Inu-Yasha! Tonight's the new moon!"
"I know, so you're not angry at me anymore?"
Kagome fumed remembering what he had done earlier. "Don't think you're getting off that easily!!!! I'm still angry!!!"
Inu-Yasha cringed, half of it because he could slowly feel himself turning human, the other part because of the waves of hostility he could sense coming from a certain teenage girl.
Disclaimer: Inu-Yasha? Nope, I don't own him, never have, never will!!!!!!! Same goes for the rest of the gang!!!! And ideas! And plot lines!
Kagome: You can stop now....
SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way can I stop when I'm on sugar!!!! But, also one more thing before I get started. I'm a new writer here, so please be nice!
