Chapter 12: The Future era.
Author note: The song in here has two words different and will still remain the property of Shinedown.. Don't sue me if you don't like it just get over it...
Narrator: The day had passed and everyone was now back where they belonged.. The wolves were guarding the village, everyone else was back at either Sango's or Kagome's.
Sesshomaru: InuYasha how can you possibly expect us to live here? Here of all places..
InuYasha: Shut up Sesshomaru and take what bones your given..
Sakaura: That was mean InuYasha.. Don't talk to your brother like that.
InuYasha: Who's gonna make me stop? I can talk to Sesshomaru however I want and I've been for years.
Sakaura grabs InuYasha's arm and flips him
Sesshomaru: OO.. I knew when I met you that you were related to Yoritomo but I had no idea you were trained like him...
Narrator: Oh my.. I've never seen Sesshomaru look frightened...Now I'm scared... well.. Sesshomaru and Sakaura need a place to stay so InuYasha took them to the house near Sango's that he used to live in with Kagome and Hikaru... It looks rundown from the outside but on the inside it looks pretty good but not Sesshomaru's taste.. Ewww . I can't believe Sesshomaru likes fluffy and girly stuff...
Meanwhile, Somewhere in feudal Japan...
A tall young girl with silverish gray hair walked through the woods toward the village ahead, her face was void of emotion and the necklace on her neck jingled which let one of the wolves know she was here. She gave off no scent and made no noise other than that little jingle from her necklace, she wore black which made her standout.. She shined with paleness and bright blue eyes and yet.. wore black.. Twas an unnatural mix of color..
The girl got closer to the village and then her face showed emotion.. She was grinning as she walked through the barrier..
Mikizu: You there! Halt!
The girl stopped in the middle of the village and looked at the wolf demon as he approached..
Mikizu: Who are you and what business do you have here?
Girl: My name is Seraphine and I am just passing through here.
Mikizu:...... You aren't human are you?
Seraphine: Oh wow.. A stupid wolf demon actually figured it out before I walked away..
You must not be related to Koga..
Mikizu: That was uncalled for.. What type of demon are you.. We don't need any trouble so we need to know what kind of demon you are?
Seraphine: Ah yes stupid wolf demon ... I am a panther demon but I mean you and this village no harm.
Mikizu: Why can't I pick up your scent?
Seraphine: Because I am hiding it so none of you can attack me..
Mikizu: Give me three reasons why we shouldn't attack you now.
Seraphine: One reason is because if you attack me hope for killing Naraku will be lost, Two is because I have come through here to ask permission to see the priestess who now protects the jewel and three is because if you attack me it will be serious waste of both our time.
Mikizu:.........okay........ I will notify Koga immediately..
Seraphine looked around, expecting Koga to appear like he usually did.
Seraphine: Where are Koga, Ginta and Hakaku? They usually appear after ten minutes..
Mikizu: Well... Koga and Hakaku are with the priestess.
Seraphine: So wheres Ginta?
Mikizu:....Naraku's servant killed him.....
Seraphine: ...Ginta........ You have to be lying! This has to be a joke.
Mikizu: If it's joke it's a cruel one and you don't see me laughing.. It is no lie and it is no joke, Ginta passed away in battle..
Seraphine:.. I am sorry for your loss.. Ginta was a good wolf tribe brother and a good friend..
Mikizu: Uhh tell now how do you know Ginta?
Seraphine: We.. umm I swore I'd never tell anyone.. We went out together for awhile...
Mikizu: O.O.. twitch twitch Oh... I didn't know.. I'll take you to and through the well in a moment..
Seraphine continued walking towards the well, she now showed emotion for her lost love...a few tears..
Mikizu caught up with her and took her directly to well and grabbed her hand, before she could pull it away he kissed her hand then jumped down the well dragging her over the edge with him.
He said nothing when they got to the other side...
Miroku's voice: I hear someone in the well.. Halt!! Who passes through the well without notifying guards?
Mikizu called up..
Mikizu: A wolf demon and a panther demon with some business for Priestess Kagome.
Miroku's voice: The panther be male or female?
Seraphine: You're that dumb monk who used to live in the village aren't you? The one who read my hand and offered to-
Miroku: Ah okay shut up I get the point. He tosses a rope ladder down the well and ties it to door on the shrine.
Meanwhile in Kagome's room.
Dear Kagome Higurashi,
The two of the people here at Mirktech have told me that you are in need of a job and that you are quite good with children. I run a daycare setup here for the working parents and have never been to Japan before but one of the workers told me that I should enter a program for a switch,
I agreed and found your name on the list and the worker Hojo Magdizu, told me that you would probably be the best one to pick. Please reply soon and do not worry about translating. The part of America, I live in is full of Japanese people and translators so you won't need a book or anything unless you wish to bring one.
I really would like to see Japan but will understand if you cannot depart. If you can come reply saying that you are ready and we will send you and three others to America by plane.
Three months in America and free travel from and back to Japan
Seraphina Jenks.. .S/J.
Kagome stared at the letter.. She wanted to go but knew she couldn't leave,
She thought about it..
Three others.. That meant I could take Hikaru, Ginta and Sota.. Wait no.. Something's wrong with that.. Hikaru, InuYasha and Ginta.. No something is still wrong..
Knock knock knock
InuYasha: Kagome, I'm back from making a fool out of Sessh..
InuYasha opened the door and looked in at Kagome, he came towards her slowly when he saw that she had a knife
Kagome thoughts: Ginta I'll be with you soon.. We'll raise the family we never had together..
InuYasha: Kagome... Kagome put down the knife... It'll be okay just put down the knife.
Send away for a priceless gift, One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world, One not simply, so absurd
Cause in these times of doing what you're told.. Keep these feelings, no one knows..
So whatever happened to the young girl's heart.. Swallowed by pain, as she slowly fell apart
Kagome smiles a wide goofy looking grin
Kagome: We'll be with you soon Ginta.. Wait for me...
InuYasha sits by Kagome and puts one arm around her hoping that she will realize he's there so he won't have to take her weapon and talk her out of killing herself..
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed, I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Kagome started to put the blade to her neck but stopped when she felt InuYasha's arm around her..
Kagome's thoughts: Inu.. InuYasha... you still love me don't you? I don't hate you.. I think I love you.. But no.. no .. I love Ginta not you...
InuYasha: Kagome please don't do this..
Send a message to the unborn child.. To keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you and no one else,
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life... It's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight..
Kagome let out a sob and tears rolled down her cheeks as she pulled the knife away from her neck. She moved it back after a few minutes.. this time she thought she was really ready..
InuYasha: Kagome.. Hun.. I love you so much.. Please don't do this, if you do you'll be hurting your son and killing your unborn child... You'll affect us all too.
So whatever happened to the young girl's heart.. It's swallowed by pain, as she slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed.. Staring down the barrel
Kagome dropped the knife and turned to InuYasha and buried her face in his chest, she sobbed, moaned and whimpered as his shirt became soggy.. He didn't mind, he hugged her tightly.
Everyone's pointing their fingers.. You're always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe.... I believe.. And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, Yeah I'm swimming through the ashes of another life.. No real reason to accept the way things have changed.. Staring down the barrel... And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45.... I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed... Staring down the barrel of a 45
Of a 45..... Cause I am staring down the barrel of a 45..
InuYasha: It'll be alright Kagome. I'm here now.. I'll always be here for you.
Kagome: It hurts InuYasha.. It hurts so bad... the pain makes me feel like I'll never be me again.. It hurts..
She sobs harder
InuYasha: I know how you feel Kagome.. I know how you feel...
A few tears fell from InuYasha's face and hit Kagome..
Kagome's thoughts: He's crying... InuYasha I didn't mean to make you cry.. I never meant to make you suffer this way.. I know now exactly how you feel.. InuYasha finally gave in and cried as he talked to her and held her..
InuYasha: I love you Kagome.. I love you... I've cried for you.. I cried because losing you is all my fault.. but seeing you just now.. knowing that I'd really lose you and that you'd slip through my hands like.. like.. her...
Kagome.. Please don't ever leave me even if you don't love me don't ever do that.
Kagome hugged him and continued crying into his chest
Kagome: I-I-I love you too InuYasha.. kagome stopped crying and held onto him I feel the same way about you.
InuYasha held her and continued crying for what seemed like hours....
