Chapter 9
"Sango, Miroku is such a pervert but that doesn't stop you from loving him. Does it?" Kagome sat next to the angered demon slayer.
"Sango forget about that perverted monk Miroku" Inuyasha sat next to Kagome.
"Inuyasha! Sango doesn't need your opinion" Kagome yelled at the hanyou.
"Sorry" Inuyasha put his arms into the sleeves of his kimono and crossed his legs.
"Maybe I should forget about Miroku. All he does is asking every beautiful woman he sees to bear his child or rubs my ass" Sango began to doubt Miroku's love for her. "Enough of me, how are you feeling? You lost a lot of blood the other day from Kikyo" Sango brought up the "Kikyo subject".
"I'm just fine. I'm recovering rather well so there isn't any worries. Sango stop denying it! You know you love Miroku" Kagome reassured Sango and then talked about the perverted monk.
"Let's just forget about this and move on" Sango was getting agitated.
"Fine" Kagome walked away.
That night Kagome was having a nightmare about Kikyo. Kagome was remembering what Kikyo did to her. It almost felt like it was really happening to her again. Kagome twist and turned that woke up Inuyasha from his slumber. Inuyasha got up and knelt down next to her. Inuyasha put one arm on her shoulder and shook it violent. Well not so violent.
"Kagome wake up! You're having a nightmare" Inuyasha shook Kagome until she woke up.
"Kikyo stop please…Inuyasha help me…Inuyasha…" Kagome was talking in her sleep.
Inuyasha took his arm off her shoulder and pulled back. Kagome woke up and sat up to see Inuyasha staring at her with quilt and shame.
"Inuyasha what in the world are you doing up this late at night?" Kagome wondered while still pretty half asleep.
"You were having a nightmare so I was trying to wake you up. But I heard…" Inuyasha was cut off from his explanation.
"Inuyasha don't worry about me. It was just a dream which can't hurt me" Kagome said in a louder tone then a whisper.
"But…" Inuyasha was interrupted by the girl from the future.
"Inuyasha go back to sleep, now!" Kagome demanded and lyed back on her side facing the hut's wall. "I don't want him to know I was dreaming about Kikyo and what she did to me. I don't want him to worry about me because of Kikyo" Kagome thought to herself.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha's last word and then he fell back to sleep.
Morning came and the birds were chirping. Kagome was still sleeping while everyone else was out doing something. Shippou and Kilala were catching fish for breakfast, Inuyasha was rooming the area, and Sango and Miroku were out buying supplies for the trip. Kagome finally woke up and freaked out when she found herself alone in the hut. Kagome got up and found a spider on her leg and then screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Kagome yelled on top of her lungs.
Inuyasha heard Kagome's cry and rushed back to the hut.
"Kagome I'm coming. I'll save you" Inuyasha ran past the villagers and huts.
Inuyasha got to the hut and pulled out the Tetsusaiga ready to fight.
"Inuyasha kill it! Kill it" Kagome jumped up and down.
Inuyasha's face turned from serious to anger. Inuyasha squashed the spider with his sword and put it into its shift.
"Why the hell did you scream when it was just a tiny spider?" Inuyasha yelled at the girl.
"I hate spiders and I didn't mean to get you excited for nothing" Kagome yelled back.
"Typical woman scared of every damn thing with legs" Inuyasha was rutting for a sit.
"Inuyasha you selfish jerk. Just shut up and SIT!" Kagome yelled and exited out of the hut with tight fists against her sides.
"Wench…aw my aching back" Inuyasha stayed sat for the longest time before running after Kagome.
Kagome was on top of the hill where she and Inuyasha kissed yesterday. A refreshing breeze made Kagome's hair move in one direction. The sun's raze shined down on her skin and gave her warmth too. Inuyasha came in and was ready to give her a piece of his mind but didn't. Instead he stood next to her and wondered what she was doing. Kagome's eyes were closed and her arms up in the air.
"Huh, Kagome what the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha asked not so much rude tone.
"Just feelin' the sun and smelling nature all around. All the smells around us gives off calmness" Kagome confusing the hanyou. "Did you come to apologize?" Kagome hoped.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize to you? You're the one who keeps sitting me for every stupid thing" Inuyasha was asking for another one.
"Maybe I expect more from you now. You did say you love me so I would have thought you would expect more out of you" Kagome stared at Inuyasha with innocent eyes.
Inuyasha swallowed hard forgetting admitting his love for Kagome. Inuyasha took in a deep breathe and placed his hands on Kagome's shoulders. Kagome blushed and looked at Inuyasha seeing he was feelin' guilty.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome wondered why he was feelin' this way.
"I'm sorry about before. Happy now?" Inuyasha APOLONGIZED. Shocker!
"He's apologizing to me? Am I dreaming, right? He just apologized to me!" Kagome thought happily.
"What? Now you're not going to accept my apology?" Inuyasha was getting confused because he knew that's what Kagome always wanted from him.
"Inuyasha I accept it" Kagome smiled and then grabbed a hold of his hand.
Kagome was running towards the well while holding tightly on Inuyasha's hand. Once they reached the well, Inuyasha was puzzled at her actions.
"Kagome, why are we here?" the hanyou asked the girl from the future.
"I want you to meet my friends correctly. They really didn't meet you in person. I mean the last time I saw them I was breaking their hearts telling them the truth about me being absence all the time. I hope they will still talk to me. We've been friends forever" Kagome got excited but soon felt guilty about her lies.
"I'm sure they will forgive you Kagome" Inuyasha put his hand on her cheek and kissed her for a few seconds.
He then jumped into the well and so did Kagome. Kagome touched her lips and still couldn't believe she had kissed Inuyasha. Kagome dreamt this but she never figured it would actually happen. Finally they reached the other side of the well into present Japan. Inuyasha helped Kagome up the well since she was still a little weak from her blood loss. Once they walked out of the shrine they saw Kagome's gramps sweeping the ground. Then they saw Buyo playing with Sota's soccer ball.
"It seems that Sota is still recovering from Kikyo's arrow" Kagome sighed.
"Yeah" Inuyasha moved ahead.
Kagome followed.
"Mom" Kagome was afraid to see her mother's fearful face.
"Kagome…why did you run away from me? Do you care about feudal Japan then me?" Mrs. Higurashi looked down at the table.
"No mom it's just that feudal Japan is important to me. The woman who injured Sota, Kikyo, almost killed me the other day. I lost a lot of blood and was hanging from a single thread to death" Kagome wasn't able to finish once her mother freaked.
Kagome's mother gasped and hugged Kagome close to her.
"Don't worry. Kikyo is dead" Inuyasha looked outside then turned to Mrs. Higurashi's face full of relief.
"Mom I'm sorry about what happened to Sota and how you almost lost us" Kagome began to cry a bit.
"Thank you Inuyasha for keeping Kagome safe. I thought I could separate you guys but I thought wrong. Your love for one another is stronger than my determination" Mrs. Higurashi pulled Kagome away a little just to be able to look into her daughter's eyes.
"Oh mom" Kagome moved towards Inuyasha.
"Oh before I forget. Yuri, Ayumi, and Yuki were asking for you today around noon. They said they were willingly to for give you for your lies about feudal Japan. How come they know you go there now?" Kagome's mother repeated Kagome's friend's message.
"See I told you Kagome they would" Inuyasha was all proud of himself for being right.
Kagome and her mother laughed then Kagome ran to the phone.
'RING'
'RING'
"Hello" Yuki's voice was at the other line.
"Yuki, it's me Kagome. Come on over. Okay?" Kagome said excitedly.
"Sure. Be right over" Yuki hung up the phone after her response.
'RING'
'RING'
"Yello" Ayumi's voice answered the call.
"Ayumi, it's me Kagome. Come on over. Okay?" Kagome said with hope.
"Sure. Be right over Kagome" Ayumi grabbed her coat and started off.
'RING'
'RING'
"Hello, this is Yuri speaking" Yuri spoke formal.
"Yuri, it's me Kagome. Come on over. Okay?" Kagome made her final call.
"Sure. Be right over Kagome" Yuri rushed out the door.
"Well Inuyasha, you ready to meet them?" Kagome jumped up and down.
"Yeah, but a little bit nerves" Inuyasha wiggled his fingers violently nerves.
'DING DONG'
