Chapter Two- Old Friends
~*~*Two years later~*~*
Kagome had a death grip on Kuronue's shirt and refused to let go. He tried to pry her fingers off, but to no avail. "Kagome, wake up!"
Her eyes slowly opened and she asked, "Why did you just yell in my ear, Kuronue? You do it every morning. Find some other way to wake me up, dammit."
"You know, I wouldn't have this problem if you had stuck to the promise you made two years ago."
She shrugged. "I could never get used to sleeping without Shippou and Kirara. Speaking of which, I'm going to go visit them today. Want to come?"
"Doesn't Youko want you to go on a mission today? He'll get mad if you don't go," Kuronue warned.
"So what? I've dealt with an angry Youko before. It's not like he scares me."
He sighed. "Fine, I'll go with you. I've got to keep you out of trouble, now don't I?"
She smiled. "I knew you'd give in. We'll leave in an hour."
She got up and went to soak in the hotsprings. While she was there she reflected on all that had happened in the past two years. Youko had trained her using all kinds of combat weapons including, but not limited to, swords, whips, and bows and arrows. He also taught her how to control plants. Midoriko had visited her in her dreams and had trained her miko powers and also trained her as a monk (in honor of Miroku) and a taijiya (in honor of Sango). She had received two swords similar to Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga, a staff like Miroku's, a Hiraikotsu, and a new bow with a set of arrows in a black quiver. The swords were both black with silver hilts and inscriptions. Their names were Ketsusaiga and Kenseiga. The staff was silver with black inscriptions and blue rings. The Hiraikotsu was black with red inscriptions, and the bow was pure black. All of the inscriptions were in a language that Kagome didn't understand. She also received a small dragon that could become larger, much like Kirara, except that he was bigger. He was really sweet, but Kagome named him Akuma as a joke.
"Kagome hurry up! We're leaving soon!"
Kagome snapped out of her musings and quickly got out. She dressed in an outfit much like Youko's, but instead of white it was black. She tied her hair back so that it stayed out of her face if she had to fight. In the past couple of years her hair had grown past her waist.
She walked back into her room to find an impatient Kuronue waiting for her. "It's about time. You always take forever when you bathe."
"I do not. It just seems like forever to you because you're impatient," she said.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Let's just go."
They both walked outside and took off in the direction of Kaede's village. Kagome was easily able to keep up with Kuronue's speed because of her training. They arrived at the clearing with the Bone Eater's Well a short time later.
"I wonder how they'll react," Kagome said nervously. "I hope they don't hate me for leaving. Especially for such a long time."
~*~*With the Inu gang~*~*
Inuyasha's nosed twitched and he caught the scent of a youkai. "I smell a youkai and something else..."
"What is it Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.
"I think it's," his eyes widened, "Kagome."
A startled "WHAT!" came from every other mouth in the hut.
"Are you sure it's 'Kaa-san Inuyasha?"
"I think it is."
Every one ran out of the hut to see a bat youkai approaching with an older Kagome by his side.
"Kagome-chan!"
"Okaa-san!"
Kagome-sama!"
"Kagome!"
She smiled at them with tears prickling at her eyes. "Hey guys. Long time no see."
They all ran up and enveloped Kagome in the biggest hug she had ever received in her life. "Guys... I can't breathe..." They all released her, but stayed near her side.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry about what happened two years ago. Kikyou had me under a spell. She released me from it after you left. She told me what happened. I am so sorry Kagome," Inuyasha said while embracing her. "I never meant to be with her. After she pushed you away from me I killed her. I love you so much Kagome."
"What? You love me?" He nodded. Oh, no. I still love him too. But I'm also in love with Kuronue. What will I do?
Kuronue growled at Inuyasha, causing all eyes to turn towards him. "Kuronue? What's wrong?" Kagome was worried. For one, she had never heard Kuronue growl. Second, she didn't know that he could growl, being a bat.
He seemed to snap out of a trance and looked at her. "Nothing is wrong."
"I don't believe you. You've never growled before, so you wouldn't start for no reason," Kagome said. He raised an eyebrow at her in the way that Youko always did. "Hey! That's Youko's move! You can't do that!"
"Kagome-chan, did you say Youko? As in the kitsune thief?" Sango asked.
"Yep. The one and only."
"You know him?"
"Yep. Sometimes I even do jobs for him. Kuronue does too."
"So you're a thief 'Kaa-san?" Shippou asked innocently.
"We prefer to be called treasure collectors, Shippou-chan."
The name 'Shippou' caught Kuronue's attention. "Wait a second. This is Shippou?" Kagome nodded. "You mean you broke your promise because of this little fuzzball?"
"Shippou is not a little fuzzball. I would refrain from insulting kitsunes at the moment Kuronue. We have company." She turned around to greet the kitsune that walked up behind them. "Hello Youko. What brings you here?"
"You had a job to do today Kagome. Why are you here?"
She narrowed her eyes at him. "The job can wait. My friends are more important."
Kuronue, noticing the oncoming fight, backed away slowly. "Calm down you two. No fighting in front of the kit."
They both paused and looked at Shippou. Kagome agreed with Kuronue, but Youko continued on. So Kagome told him to shut up, which angered him. "When we get back to the castle your training will increase tenfold," he said mercilessly.
"How do you know that I'm even coming back to the castle, jerk?"
Youko's and Kuronue's eyes widened. "You're not coming back?"
"I don't know yet. But if you keep pissing me off I'm definitely not coming back."
Kuronue turned to Youko and said, "Apologize to her so that she'll come back."
"Fine. Kagome I apologize for arguing with you."
She smiled at him and replied, "Apology accepted. I'll come back to the castle as soon as I visit with my friends and go home and visit my family."
The two thieves sighed in relief. "Kagome please don't ever threaten to not come back again. Youko would fall apart if you ever left." Kuronue said jokingly.
"I'd fall apart? I believe you are confused Kuronue. It is you who would fall apart," Youko shot back.
"So what you're both saying is that you'd miss me a lot and that nothing would be the same if I left?"
Both of them stayed silent, so Miroku spoke for them. "It seems that is exactly what they're saying, Kagome-sama."
"Let's all go back to Kaede's hut. I want to be filled in on all that has happened in the past two years," Kagome said.
"And we want to know all that you went through. Your aura is considerably stronger than the last time I saw you Kagome-sama."
Shippou hopped onto Kagome's shoulder and the rest of them walked back to the hut to fill each other in on everything.
