Chapter 8: Kagome's time.
(Note: a brief notice on Inu-group and Kouga)
During two weeks Inu-group was after the shards as Kagome promised to return after two weeks. They didn't know Kagome changed her plans. She wanted to catch them before they would depart for the search but she came late. They didn't have any luck for two weeks in finding them so they decided to return and wait for her. Inu Yasha was in a bad mood as always. When they came to the village Inu Yasha went strait towards the well to wait for Kagome. When he came near the well he gasped. In front of the well there were three burnt footprints and not far was laying the backpack of Kagome covered with soil and leaves, it was torn in several places. Inu Yasha sniffed the air looking for Kagome's sent. But all he could smell was sent of burnt soil and paper. He narrowed his eyes. Something here was fishy. He looked around, picked up the lying backpack and headed back to Kaede's hut. He entered the hut and everything went quite around him. Sango was the first one to react.
"Inu Yasha. This is Kagome's bag, is it?" – She asked nervously. She had a bad feeling about this.
Inu Yasha tossed the bag in the corner.
"Keh. This human is walking probably somewhere and soon will be back with that silly grin on her face. But still. When I found her bag it was covered with leaves and soil, thus making the impression it was lying there at least some weeks. But we know that can't be true. She is to return today in the evening."
"Maybe she decided to return earlier. You were the only one against her leaving for two weeks." – Miroku told him while carefully sipping his tea.
Inu Yasha growled and sat down Indian style. But he didn't have enough time to ponder on the matter as he sensed a certain youkai running to their hut. He stood in the fighting stance and waited.
In the mountains Kouga left his tribe to visit 'his woman' in the village. Today he woke up because he had strange feeling something bad happened to her. He left full speed. When he was passing the cliffs he saw something white on the stones. He went to investigate. He picked it up and found out it was Kagome's torn handkerchief. He sniffed it. It was here for some time now because Kagome's sent was very faint. He narrowed his eyes. 'This half-breed better not did anything to MY Kagome.' With high speed he ran all the way to the village. When he ran past the well he saw burnt prints on the ground. He didn't like it at all. Near the prints he found strands of white hair. He picked it up. 'I hope it is not what I think.' With that he stormed to Kaede's hut and stormed inside, he was outraged.
"DOG-FACE. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY KAGOME!!!!!?" He came up to him.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WHIMPY-WOLF?" He barked back.
"DON'T SAY YOU DON'T KNOW. I FOUND HER TORN HANDCECHIEF IN THE MOUNTAINS AND YOUR HAIR NEAR THE BRUNT GRASS NOT FAR FROM THE WELL. NOW TELL ME WHERE YOU HID MY WOMAN!!!!" Now he was standing nose to nose with Inu Yasha. Other members of the group just sat there and watched at the usual bickering of the two.
"SHE IS NOT YOUR WOMAN. I HAVEN'T SEEN HER. SHE WILL RETURN TODAY IN THE EVENING. AND WHAT DO YOU MEEN ABOUT THE THINGS YOU'VE FOUND?"
"Would you please show us what you've found?" – Sango tried her best to stop these two fighting. Sometimes she wondered how Kagome could deal with these two at one time. Kouga looked at her and gave her the things he found. Sango examined them more closely. Indeed the cloth piece was Kagome's but the hair had a faint blue hint at it.
"Give me that!" – Inu Yasha grabbed the hair from her grasp and sniffed it. He hissed.
"That's my bastard brother's hair. He must have got her before I did. We should check his castle. I suggest we move out immediately. Pack your things and hurry." Quickly with more bickering between Kouga and Inu Yasha the group was finally ready to leave. To be there in a short amount of time they decided to go on Kirara. It should take them several hours with two brakes on their way. Kouga went on his own as he was pretty fast with shards in his legs.
(Back to Kagome and Sesshomaru.)
On the other side of the well.
Finally the blue light which surrounded them vanished. They found themselves in the well in Kagome's time. They quickly climbed out.
"Se .. Kagome. Now we are going out of this house. Try to act as normal as possible. Now when we enter my house you are going to give my mother a hug, you can miss the kiss, then you are going to give my brother a light smack on the head and then just try to ignore my grandpa. Also stop him putting the ward scrolls on me." After Sesshomaru gave a nod that he understood they went inside the main house.
"Please Kami help us." Kagome prayed for their stay. But it seems this help was unreachably.
When they opened the front door Sesshomaru was met with a crush hug and kisses all over his face which were gladly provided by Kagome's mother. Finally she released him and turned toward a tall silver haired man. She bowed with respect.
"Welcome to this house, sir. It is a pleasure to meet my daughter's friends."
"The pleasure is all my Miss Higurashi". Kagome felt strange bowing to her mother and kissing her hand as a real gentleman would do in her place. She wanted Sesshomaru to look regal so his reputation in her time would be left on high level. Then she stepped back when she heard her brother Sota making his way downstairs.
"ONEECHAN!!!" He screamed and happily hugged his sister.
"Finally you are here and I would be able to pay you back for the winning in that race." Not giving his sister a time for an answer he stormed outside where his friends were waiting for him. Kagome gently tapped Sesshomaru on his shoulder indicating for them to go up in her room. He slightly nodded his head. During all the welcome commotion he decided to keep silent as not to make any possible mistakes with dealing with her family. Her mom returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner and left them alone in the living-room deciding that her daughter was too tired and will make all the introductions later. She was curious about the silver man who was so charming and well mannered, not like that other boy Inu Yasha.
They climbed the stairs and went to Kagome's room. Once there Kagome shut the door behind them and locked it.
"We were lucky. Now soon it will be dinner. You'll need to introduce me to my family. Don't forget about what I told you and I hope we'll be alright. You were great there but you need to loosen up and smile or others would think you don't feel good and would pester you about your health. After dinner today we are going to the mall to buy my mom a present. Oh! I nearly forgot." She went to her wardrobe and picked up some clothes.
"You need to change in to this." She tossed the clothes on the bed.
"While you are at it I'll try to find some clothes for myself. Mmm. I think I'll look through my father's trunk." With deep concentration on her features she exited the room and went to the attic to find the mentioned trunk. After 10 minutes both were ready, but of course Sesshomaru needed help in putting on modern clothes and after several cursing from his part they came down the stairs and in the kitchen.
"Mother." – Sesshomaru tried his best to copy Kagome. The act was good but not perfect. It seems that Kagome was trying her best to look composed and serious. It was unusual on Kagome's half but her mother brushed it away.
"I'm sorry but I forgot to introduce my 'friend' – It was really hard for Sesshomaru to say this but he didn't have another choice, he presumed. – His name is Sesshomaru, the Lord of The Western Lands." Kagome bowed at her mother again.
"Hello. I'm so glad you are my daughter's friend. Please feel yourself at home. And Kagome dear your car is outside ready for use."
Sesshomaru remembered Kagome talking about 'car'- a way of transportation. "Thank you m...mom. After dinner we... I'm going to show Sesshomaru town and then we plan to go to the mall." He wanted nothing else than to run back to his time but he knew he should stay so he greeted his teeth, smiled and graciously sat down, waiting for the dinner to be served. Kagome quickly sat down as well slightly leaning to Sesshomaru. "Great work." She whispered only for him to hear. When the food was brought out they started eating. When the dinner was over they said their thank you and prepared to leave but not before Sesshomaru was hit in the ribs and reminded to give her mother a quick peck on the cheek as a gratitude for the prepared meal. He did as he was told, but made a note to get back at her later and together they left. Kagome as the only one, who knew how to drive, drove the car towards the mall. This time was so different that Sesshomaru didn't know where to look at. The buildings here were huge. A lot of people were everywhere and to Sesshomaru it was a shock as he didn't saw any youkais and demons. Finally they came to the mall. Kagome parked her car and got out, Sesshomaru obediently followed her. He decided to let her be the leader as he didn't know anything here, which annoyed him but he couldn't do anything, so he kept quite as not to draw any unwanted attention to himself. They made their way through different stores and found some presents for her mom. Also Kagome bought some flowers to give to her mother. To her surprise Sesshomaru was quite and let her do all the work. She was glad because she didn't want to deal with all the commotion he could have made. The day was getting to its end and Kagome decided to buy them ice-cream for the hard day. Sesshomaru first was reluctant but when he finally tried the stuff he really enjoyed it. When they were moving towards the exit Kagome decided to buy some cd's for her brother. Before she went to look through the shelves she showed Sesshomaru a stand where one could listen to the music of their own choice. When she returned back she found him there standing with headphones on and a dazed look on his face. 'He must have liked it.' She thought and decided on something. She hurried back and after 5 minutes came back with a bag in her hands. She tapped him on the shoulder motioning for him that they were leaving. He took them off but a sing of disappointment left his lips, which was noticed with Kagome's prefect hearing. She giggled. When he heard the strange sound he looked at Kagome and frowned.
"What's so funny?" He asked with a scowl on his face.
"Nothing." – She regained her calm posture only to pale slightly looking at something at his back. With question he turned around.
"Kagome-chan?" behind him stood a young boy, Kagome's age, who was grinning looking at him.
'Crap.' He thought. 'She didn't tell me about this one.'
"Yes?" He asked with suspicious in his voice.
"How are you feeling. I didn't know you are already healed. Are you going to come tomorrow to school? And who is this guy?" He pointed behind his back. Behind him Kagome was standing and frowning at the boy.
"I'm sorry but Kagome is busy now. I'm an exchange student and right now we have to go, we are in a hurry. Don't worry Kagome is ok now but still she wouldn't go to school because today is her first day outside and the doctors are still checking on her. Don't worry Hojo-san." The boy looked stunned and looked at Kagome.
Sesshomaru only nod that what was told was true and together with Kagome they left the mall very quickly not giving time for Hojo to ask further. When they climbed in the car Kagome signed.
"That was close."
"Who was he?" He asked. When that boy appeared he didn't like him at all. He didn't know why but when he addressed to Kagome in this free way he wanted to smack him. This made him worried. He never felt anything like this but he only brushed it aside believing it as all the stress and their curse.
"His name is Hojo and he studies together with me in school. He is nice but sometimes it's too much." Kagome shuddered at the thought.
He didn't ask anything else and the rest of the drive was silent. Each of them thinking about their own.
The night slowly was spreading through the town when they finally reached the house. Quietly they entered. On the kitchen they found cold food and heated it in microwave. After they ate Kagome showed him how to use the bathroom if he wanted to and after quickly taking a shower she took some pillows and blankets and settled on the floor near her bed. Sesshomaru didn't feel right letting her sleep on the floor while he took her bed but his pride didn't let to voice it. So he quietly lay on bed staring at the ceiling. His act was good today but he knew he would need to loosen up a bit, if he didn't like the idea even a little bit. Tomorrow is promised to be a hectic day and he need to act the best. Finally he let the sleep take over him leaving all the worries for the next day.
End.
Thanks for reviews. But to tell you the truth I want more of them *was smacked on the head* well we want more of them. WE FATES ARE SO GREEDY THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP!!!!!!!!THE MORE REVIEWS, THE MORE OFTEN WE WILL UP-DATE!!!!!!
Sincerely yours,
FATES.
