Ch. 4 Playing Along
"So this is it? The way to get back home?" Kagome stared down the well.
Inuyasha nodded. "But. how?" She asked.
"The jewel shards," Inuyasha said. "They allow you to travel between now
and feudal Japan."
Kagome's hand flew to the Shikon No Tama hung around her neck. She nodded,
"Let us go."
***
"So, don't you think they're taking long enough to get back here!?!?" Sango
thought out loud.
"I miss Kagome!" Shippo wailed. "Is she here yet!?"
Sango giggled, "Soon, Shippo, soon. I- Pervert!" *slap* Miroku was found laying on the ground just two feet from the well, a big, red hand mark on the side of his face. Sango turned her back to him, "Miroku, your hand wanders too much."
"Feh! Couldn't keep your hands to yourself, Miroku?" Inuyasha stood at Miroku's head.
Miroku got up ad muttered something about 'idle hands'.
That was when Kagome climbed out of the well. Shippo saw her and jumped into her arms yelling, "Kagome! I missed you so much!"
Kagome paused, then, remembering her role, wrapped her arms around Shippo in a welcoming hug and smiled. ***flashback***
Kagome stood at the well, ready to go. Inuyasha grabbed her arm, "Wait!" Kaogme turned around. "Sango, Miroku, and Shippo are over there waiting for us. They won't know what happened. You need to act like Kagome."
Kagome nodded, "Of course, Inuyasha. Anything for you." She smiled. ***end flashback***
Kagome released Shippo from the hug, but the little kitsune held on tight. Kagome giggled, "Shippo, you have to let go of me sometime."
Shippo reluctantly let go of Kagome. He looked up at her with sad eyes, "I missed you, Kagome. What took you so long?"
"Uh, I was just getting ready." Kagome lied.
"Let's go. Me and Kagome need to talk with Kaede. alone." Inuyasha added.
"What could you two possibly have to talk about with Kaede that doesn't concern us?" Miroku asked sheepishly as her rubbed a sore spot on his cheek that was gradually turning black and blue.
"That's none of your business, monk!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome stifled a laugh. This Kagome girl must have Inuyasha under some kind of restraint. 50 years ago, her would have sliced that monk into pieces for questioning him.
Everyone made their way to Kaede's hut. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo reluctantly waited outside. Kaede smiled as she saw Kagome and Inuyasha walk inside. "Sister! How I have missed you!" Kagome happily said.
Kaede's mouth dropped open, "Kagome. child. I am not your sister. I did not even know ye had a sister."
"She doesn't." Inuyasha grunted as he leaned against the wall.
Kagome stilled held her smile, "Oh, but you are! I am Kikyou! Not Kagome! Somehow I got into this wretched girl's body." Kaede looked up at Inuyasha, a questioning look on her face. Inuyasha noticed and mouthed the words, 'I'll explain later'.
Kaede gave a little nod and turned her attention back to Kagome. "So it seems." She said. "You are, indeed, my older sister. I will help you to get out of Kagome's body. But it will take a while. Go rest, sister, while I talk to Inuayasha."
Kagome nodded and swiftly left the hut to wait outside with the others. Inuyasha sat down in front of Kaede. "Explain." Was all that came from her mouth.
Inuyasha explained everything. When he finished, Kaede stood up. "Well, it's not that bad." She concluded.
Inuyasha jumped up onto his feet. "Not that bad!?" he screamed. "Look at her! She thinks she's Kikyou!"
Kaede walked up to Inuyasha, "It will pass. In about a week or two. It's just amnesia."
"Fine. Until then she needs to stay in her own time. Maybe her family will bring back her memory." Inuyasha added.
***that night***
"So, Inuyasha. What was it you talked to Kaede about? Hmmmmm?" Shippo asked.
"Yeah! I want to know, too!" Sango pressed.
Inuyasha sighed and glanced over at the now sleeping Kagome.
***flashback***
Kagome and Inuyasha stood outside of Kaede's hut. Sango and the others were out back in Kaede's garden helping her pick herbs. Inuyasha turned to Kagome, "Kikyou?"
"Yes, Inuyasha?" Kagome smiled.
"You need to go back to the future, where Kagome lives." Inuyasha said.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with pleading eyes, "But, why, Inuyasha?"
"Because," Inuyasha lied. "Kagome's family needs her. It would just be safe." He added, thinking of what would happen if the real Kikyou ran into Kagome.
Kagome nodded, "Will you be coming with me, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha glanced away, "I-I can't. But I can visit."
Kagome smiled and nodded again. Inuyasha bent his head down to Kagome and pressed his lips up to hers.
***end flashback***
"Okay," Inuyasha finally said. "I'll tell you."
Once again, Inuyasha went into a deep description of what happened. Then, he added, "Just treat her like Kagome. Kaede said it will pass. For now, we all have got to play along."
Everyone agreed. "But, she sounded so much like Kagome!" Shippo wailed.
Sango cradled the crying kitsune, "I know. Shhh. don't worry. Shhh. she will be back soon."
Everyone went to sleep after Shippo settled down. Inuyasha sat on his usual spot on the porch. Did I kiss Kagome because I have feelings for her? Or because she reminds me so much of Kikyou?
Well? How did you like ch. 4? Review please! ^.^ .. Until next time, then! ^.^
"I miss Kagome!" Shippo wailed. "Is she here yet!?"
Sango giggled, "Soon, Shippo, soon. I- Pervert!" *slap* Miroku was found laying on the ground just two feet from the well, a big, red hand mark on the side of his face. Sango turned her back to him, "Miroku, your hand wanders too much."
