The Demon Known as Kagome
Chapter 9
--- ------ ----- ----- Last Time ----- -------- --------- "Very well then," Kagome said and she looked back to the moon. "Good. I will leave in the morning," and with that Sesshomaru jumped off of the branch and went back to sleep.
Unknown to Kagome and Sesshomaru, Inu Yasha had heard their conversation and when Sesshomaru had touched Kagome like that he almost jumped up and would have tried to beat the shit out of Sesshomaru. ------- ------------ ------------- ----------
After Sesshomaru was asleep again, Inu Yasha decided to make his presence known to Kagome. He jumped onto the branch silently and it didn't even move. She was so wrapped up into looking at the stars she didn't even notice him.
Inu Yasha did the same that Sesshomaru had done, wrapped a hand around her waist and put the other over her mouth. Kagome tensed immediately and grabbed the wrist to the hand that was covering her mouth.
He whispered into her ear, "Kagome." She relaxed as soon as he said her name, but a chill went up her spine and she released his wrist knowing that she would be safe.
He removed his arms and moved to her side.
"Inu Yasha," she said softly. Kagome looked to him and her eyes started to water.
Inu Yasha was surprised, 'Why is she crying?'
"Kagome?" he asked, "Why are you crying?"
"You got hurt today because of me, Inu Yasha," she said as the silent tears started to run down her cheeks.
"Kagome. it wasn't your fault," Inu Yasha said as he watched her, his voice calm, soft and caring.
"No Inu Yasha. It was my fault. If I was stronger, than you wouldn't have to protect me all the time and get hurt," she said as her tears became bigger and more numerous, "I thought I lost you earlier today."
"Ka. Kagome," Inu Yasha said mostly surprised, "I would never leave you. And it wasn't your fault that that other demon took you," Inu Yasha said calmly, keeping his vice low and soft.
"No Inu Yasha. I'm telling you that I almost lost you today. Doesn't that bother you?" she asked shaking her head back and forth. She and Inu Yasha kept their voices low so they wouldn't wake the others.
"But Kagome.. I'm here right?.. I promise I'll never leave you," Inu Yasha said. He pulled Kagome onto his lap and moved so he could lay against the tree trunk. The tree branch was about two feet wide, so they could sit comfortably (if you think of the trees in the amazon, I think you'll get the picture of what I'm taking about).
Kagome cried into his kimono. Inu Yasha wrapped his arms around her and tried to comfort her as best he could.
"And.. I.. promise to.. never leave. you," Kagome said through sobs and tears. Inu Yasha heard her as clearly.
He pulled Kagome's chin up to look at him. He brushed away a tear from her tear stained cheeks.
"Kagome. I. I love you," Inu Yasha said to her softly.
Kagome's eyes became watery again, but she managed to say, "And I love you, too, Inu Yasha."
Now knowing that she loved him back, Inu Yasha pulled her into a kiss. Kagome kissed him back.
Below Sango and Miroku had woken up half way through their conversation and were listening in and watching. Sango slightly gasped to herself and Miroku smirked.
Sango was a few feet away from Miroku. Miroku was behind Sango and moved closer. Sango heard him move and turned around. He caught her lips and kissed her deeply. However, Miroku was expecting to be slapped, but he was not. Instead he was being returned his kiss by the one he loved, as was Sango kissing the one that she loved.
Up in the tree Kagome pulled away from Inu Yasha and looked at the other two. Inu Yasha was about to ask why she had stopped, but Kagome put a finger to his lips and pointed to Miroku and Sango.
"Well. Well," Inu Yasha said so that only Kagome had heard him. Inu Yasha picked up Kagome bridle style and jumped down a few feet away from Sango and Miroku. Kagome giggled and Inu Yasha smirked at them.
Sango and Miroku parted to see Inu Yasha with Kagome in his arms looking at them. They both blushed and Kagome giggled and Inu Yasha laughed. By now everyone else was awake and saw both Miroku and Sango kissing and Inu Yasha with Kagome in his arms.
Sesshomaru and Shippo both gave sort of disgusted looks, while Rin, Heisei and Kiade were giggling along with Kagome. Kilala jumped onto Miroku's lap and mewed.
Miroku looked down to Kilala and smiled. Sango was looking around nervously and Inu Yasha let Kagome down. It was about a half an hour till morning so they all decided to stay awake anyway.
Sesshomaru told Rin that he would be leaving and would return in two days or so and that she was to stay here with Kagome and Inu Yasha. Rin was happy that she could stay with Shippo and Heisei. She liked her new friends a lot and wanted to play some more, but she was going to miss Sesshomaru and so she hugged his leg. Sesshomaru patted her head and said goodbye. With that he left to return to his castle.
Kagome watched him leave and turned to the others, "Now whose hungry?" she asked with a happy tone.
Everyone said 'me' so Kagome made a big breakfast for everyone. Inu Yasha in the mean time was talking to Ganu and Lanuta. Kagome brought over four bowls and gave one to everyone. Then she sat down next to Inu Yasha and ate her own breakfast.
Heisei said that she would be right back and went into the woods. Kagome listened to her carefully. She knew what was going to happen.
About ten minutes later a female fox demon that looked to be around 18 came out of the woods. Her tan hair was down to her waist and her fox tail was longer. Her eyes were still bright blue and her claws and fangs were sharper than before. Shippo and Rin ran to Kagome and Miroku stood up. Inu Yasha turned his head and stood up, too.
Kagome stood and put a hand on Inu Yasha's arm.
"Hello Heisei!" Kagome said in a cheerful voice.
"Hi," she said in a shy tone, as she looked to the ground a sight blush caressing her cheeks.
Shippo and Rin looked at Kagome.
"But.. Kagome. That's not Heisei," Shippo said to her.
"Yes... it is Shippo," Kagome said to the kit.
Shippo looked back to Heisei and jumped over to her and Rin ran after him, smiling the entire way.
"Heisei?" Shippo asked.
"Yes, Shippo?" she asked back.
"Kagome is this what you meant by that Heisei and I would change, too?" he asked looking back to Kagome.
Kagome just smiled.
Rin took Heisei's hand and pulled her over to Miroku, Kilala, Kiade and Sango, followed by Shippo. Inu Yasha sat back down and went back to eating. Kagome sat down, too. Ganu and Lanuta told Inu Yasha what had happened yesterday after he was knocked out, which earned Kagome a few glances and she blushed a light carnation. Kagome stood after the story was over and went to her pack, which was just about empty. "I'm going to go back to the village and get some supplies," Kagome said to no one in particular. Inu Yasha nodded and Shippo said good bye. "I'll be back as soon as possible," she said. She took off towards the village. She was faster than Inu Yasha. at least right now. Kagome stopped suddenly and smelled the air. She didn't recognize the sent in the air, but that was because she hadn't smelt it since she got her demon abilities. "It's a demon all right," Kagome said to herself, "But who?" The demon was behind her and recognized the pack on her back, but she was not recognized as the person who usually wore it. Back at the group Inu Yasha picked up the sent and jumped up. He growled and Miroku asked what was wrong. "Kouga!" Inu Yasha yelled. Everyone got up and was ready to move. Heisei put Rin and Shippo on Kilala's back. Inu Yasha tore off, followed by the others. Back to Kagome and her mysterious "stalker." She sniffed the air a few more times, but couldn't place it. Then she sensed the jewel shards and whipped around, but Kouga already had her by the neck. He lifted her into the air (I know second time it happened to poor Kagome o.O.. T-T if you've been keeping track!). "Where did you get that pack from demon!" Kouga demanded. "Kou..ga.," Kagome tried to explain, but Kouga squeezed harder. "I'll ask you one more time!" he yelled. He took the pack from her back with his other hand and through it aside, 'I'll have to return that to Kagome.' Then Inu Yasha came through the trees, sword drawn, "Kouga!" "Well, Inu Yasha," Kouga said while still holding the "demon" up. "Kouga release her!" Inu Yasha demanded, as everyone else came into the clearing. Kouga lifted a brow. He looked back to the demon who was struggling to breath. He turned back to Inu Yasha. "Where is Kagome dog shit?" he asked. No one said anything. They looked to Inu Yasha. He grasped Kagome's neck tighter and she was really having a hard time breathing now. "I'll ask you again Kouga! Release her!" Inu Yasha said taking a step closer and his eyes becoming reddened, but he wasn't going to let Kouga kill Kagome! "You want her? Here!" Kouga yelled as he trough Kagome at Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha caught Kagome going onto his back and sliding a few feet. Ganu growled at Kouga as did Sango, Heisei and Kilala. Kouga looked at each group member and only recognized Kilala, Shippo, Rin and Inu Yasha. His gaze did rest on Miroku and Sango, however, who were both wolf demons. "Brother. sister. come help me," Kouga said to them. Miroku growled and took a step back. "I am not your brother!" he yelled angrily. "Don't say that I am related to you," Sango yelled. Shippo ran over to Kagome and Inu Yasha. "Kagome? Inu Yasha? Are you ok?" he asked. Kouga nearly fell over, 'Did he just say Kagome? But that's not Kagome!' "That's not Kagome you stupid kit!" Kouga yelled. Kagome was on-top of Inu Yasha and she winced. Apparently her being thrown at Inu Yasha caught him off guard and he didn't drop his sword before catching her. She looked down to her side and she had a nice clean gash. Inu Yasha had his eyes closed because he didn't want Kagome to see his red ones. He smelled Kagome's blood and to his better judgment opened his eyes and looked down to her, he had his arms around her. "Kagome. Your. your bleeding," he said slowly. "Yes. I know Inu." and she looked up to him. She gasped when she saw his demon blood showing through, he had red eyes, the two purple streaks on both cheeks and his fangs and claws were longer. "Kouga. why is it that you attacked this woman?" Lanuta asked. "I don't recall asking for your input stupid woman!" Kouga retorted. Ganu growled at Kouga and took a step forwards flexing his claws, but Kilala moved in-front of him. He looked down to the cat demon and she looked at Kouga. No one was watching Kagome and Inu Yasha. They all had their eyes on Kouga, who seemed to be insulting everyone. Inu Yasha stood up still holding Kagome. He set her down and looked to Kouga. He was trying so hard to suppress his demon side. ------- ----------- ----------- Till next time kiddies!! By the way. I changed the part about Kagome having wings to having a black tail that touched the ground.
