Chapter Two: Home Sweet Home
(Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Co.)
Inuyasha and the others had been walking for a few hours. They were all getting tired and the battle with all those demons did not help at all.
"Inuyasha," Kagome called from her place a few meters behind. Sango and Miroku also legged behind. Inuyasha gave her sign that he was listening. "I think we should rest."
"Why?" He asked, in his regular 'I-don't-give-a-crap-about-anyone-but-myself' mood.
"Well we're all not half-demons like you. We need more rest. And now is that time," she answered.
Inuyasha scoffed. "We're close to the well anyway. We can take a break there if you insist."
Kagome nodded and they kept on walking. After a good 10 minutes, they reached the well. Kagome smiled and ran towards it and sat on the edge.
"I must go home for now," Kagome said to her friends.
"What!" Inuyasha blurted out. "We need you!"
"I'm sorry, but you know how it goes. I wish it was different." Kagome answered with a smile and a tinge of blush at the thought that he always cared and put up a fight when she prepared to depart.
"Hmph." Inuyasha folded his arms.
"Goodbye for now," Sango said.
"Yes, goodbye," Miroku added.
"Bye! I will return shortly, I promise." Kagome said as she stood up and handed Shippo to Sango then prepared to jump in.
"How many days?" Inuyasha asked.
"About 2," she answered. And with a smile, she jumped.
"Bye!" Shippo yelled after her. He always hated to see her go, but he knew she would return.
Back with Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru suddenly stopped his flying and landed softly on the ground. He let go of Rin and Jaken and looked around while raising his nose in the air.
'Sakura's scent. It's gone,' he thought.
Sesshomaru thought back to his meeting with Naraku...
(Flashback)
"Naraku," Sesshomaru said flatly once he reached him.
"Sesshomaru," Naraku replied.
"What is it hat you require of me?" Sesshomaru asked.
Naraku smiled. "I need you to capture a young demon girl and bring her back to me. For she holds the power that I need." He answered.
"Hmph," Sesshomaru gave his unamused chuckle, "And what is that I get in return?"
"Freedom, death to your brother, anything! Whatever it is you wish." Naraku said with his evil, cocky grin.
Sesshomaru paused for a moment. "I do not wish do be your delivery boy, but if the reward is whatever I want. Hmm, what is her name and what does she look like?"
"Her name is Sakura. She has black hair just inches past her waist. She also has ears just as yours. And markings almost like yours. She also has powers, so she will not go without a fight."
"Very well then," With that said, he flew away.
(End Flashback)
'How hard can this be?' Sesshomaru thought, annoyed.
Back with Kagome
Kagome barged out of the shack that the well was in. She ran past all her surroundings and made it to her house. Without knocking she tore open the door and ran inside.
"Mom, Souta, Gramps! I'm home!" She yelled.
Nobody answered.
She leaned her head over to peek into the living room. No Souta watching TV or playing video games. She then turned to peek into the kitchen. No mother preparing a delicious meal for Kagome's arrival, and no grandfather sitting at the table with a newspaper. Waiting eagerly for the meal.
She shrugged and went up stairs. 'They must be doing something up here,' She thought.
She quickly went up stairs and opened her mother's room door. Nobody was in there. She quickly went to where her grandfather slept. Nobody was in there. And then took a peek in Souta's room. Once again no one was there.
Kagome was officially getting freaked out. But then again, she figured they would be at town or something.
She went into her room and lay on her bed. She had such a busy life.
When she sat up and went to her dresser, she noticed a piece of paper laying her bed through the mirror. She quickly turned around and grabbed it. 'This is probably something Mom wrote just incase I came back,' she thought.
She read the letter:
Kagome, if you ever want to see their faces again, return to the feudal era and seek out the one that Inuyasha despises.
Kagome gasped. "No! Mom, and Souta, and Gramps."
She leaned on her bed and started crying. But soon stopped. "What am I doing?" She asked herself. "I am Kagome, the Kagome who fought many demons and Naraku himself. Get a hold of yourself!"
With that said, she grabbed things from her room and put them in her backpack then ran off towards the well. "I'm going to save you Mom, Souta and Gramps!"
Tears streamed down her face as she ran.
