CHAPTER FIVE: I'll scratch my OWN back.
(AN: Something recently bit me on my shoulder near my back, there's this
large red bump and it itches like hell, so that's where I got this title!
People keep trying to scratch it for me, but I don't want them too! I don't
know why someone would want to scratch it in the first place. Hmm.to tell
or not to tell what was in the package and on the note.)
Kagome headed off towards the rest of group. Shippo saw her first, as he was facing her direction. His eyes narrowed a bit, in a confused sort of manner, and they widened.
"Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed as he ran towards his surrogate mother. She stretched out her arms to catch him as he leaped into the air.
"Aw, Shippo. I missed you. I'm sorry to cause you such grief." Kagome muttered, holding him tightly against her. Shippo breathed in deeply. He would never let her out of her sight again Shippo said to himself. Nuzzling into her neck and smiling happily. Her scent had changed. She no longer smelled like a human. Shippo backed away, and gasped. He saw her change just now, and scolded himself for not noticing it earlier.
"Kagome! What in hell happened!" Shippo shouted. Surprising Kagome and the rest of the group whom had gathered around her. (AN: Does anyone ACTUALLY use the word 'whom'? I don't, but Word wants me to, so I shall! Oh, God. I'm following the orders of my computer.)
"Language Shippo. But I do share his curiosity. What happened to you Lady Kagome?" Miroku questioned, arching an eyebrow thoughtfully.
"It's a long story, even I don't know all of the details." Kagome sighed. Shippo jumped out of her arms and grabbed hold of her tail. "You have a tail! It's so soft!" Shippo said, stroking it a bit.
"It looks good on you Kagome." Miroku said, with the all familiar gleam in his eyes.
Kagome raised an eyebrow, and smirked as Sango calmly gave him a hard whack on the side of his head, which knocked him to the ground. "Don't go there lecher." Kagome said.
"It is obvious that you have become a full youkai Kagome-san." Sango said.
"Yes, I believe so. I had a question, I have a marking on my forehead, could you possibly tell me what is symbolizes Sango?" Kagome asked, as she lifted her bangs off of her forehead.
Sango looked surprised. "Oh my Gods, that is the mark of the ruler of the Eastern Lands. You are a demon deity Kagome-san!"
Inuyasha had just walked into the clearing where they stood. He was mumbling incoherently, and seemingly backtracked as he heard Sango's remark. Royalty? He had been living with a deity? Well, he could use that in gain for himself now.
Inuyasha hid his thoughts well, and huffed. "Kagome sure as hell doesn't seem like it. She's got mannerisms that would only seem good for a pile of dirt!" He remarked loudly.
"It seems to me, Inuyasha, that your life-mate is mostly composed of dirt." Kagome said, smirking. "Anyway, let us sit, tell me what has gone on with you these past days." Kagome led the walk back towards the campfire, with Shippo sitting on her shoulder.
They told her that nothing exciting had happened, besides the fact that Kikyo had become almost like the dead self she should still be. Never talking, eating, and rarely moving. Inuyasha had forced Kikyo to stop taking so many souls, as they as a group had decided to wait for her return. Kikyo hadn't managed to acquire many souls in this large forest. Kagome could care less for Kikyo, but was happy that nothing had happened that was life threatening to her friends.
Kagome did tell of what had happen to her. In an edited version of course, leaving out the more intimate parts, and giving Sesshoumaru the title "Bastard". Her friends remained silent throughout her entire tale, except the parts of Kagome and Sesshoumaru realizing their forgotten past, when Inuyasha huffed loudly.
When she had finished, Kagome set Shippo down and told everyone that she needed to take a dip in the lake somewhat nearby. She looked around for her bag, and finally spotted it. She took out a towel, shampoo, a bar of soap, and other personal items.
Kagome said a quick, "See you in a bit", and leaped up into the trees. It took only about two minutes to get to her destination, and Kagome set down her things and got undressed. Completely oblivious to all around her, she thought about what her human family would say if they saw her now. Having lost her happy self, it being replaced by her somewhat cool exterior, she knew they would not recognize her. Not only that, but she was full demon, her grandfather had tolerated Inuyasha, but he was only a hanyou.
She sighed, and decided she would think about that at a later time. Kagome noticed a small pouch on the ground, next to her pile of clothes. Instantly, she recognized it. She had put the package and note she had found in it when she had woken in the forest. A brief moment of anger flowed through her, and she reached over to pick it up. Kagome opened the pouch, and dumped its contents into her hand. The note was crumpled, but that wasn't what she was looking for. The small package was wrapped in red silk, and tied with a gold braided silk string. She pulled the bow apart, and dropped the string onto the ground carelessly. The red silk wrapping fell aside, revealing a small wooden box, intricately designed with carvings of roses and vines. Kagome opened the lid, and on a small dark silk pillow lay a silver ring set with a black onyx.
"What is this supposed to mean?" She cried out angrily.
(AN: I'm sorry that this is taking five million years to write. I found out that I have to move AGAIN, down to Arizona. Any of you people live down there? Tell me about it. I'm moving to Glenndale I think. Also, I'm kind of stressed out and sad, 'cause all my friends are here. Well, hope you don't get all angry with me.)
