Moving away from the Present and into the Past!
Kyoko gasped and InuYasha glared at me with a sad look on his face. I let myself go and I was to faint right in front of him. My voice shuddered and I felt cold inside, but my heart raced as I was sweating and nervous. "Inu...Inu-Yasha?" I gulped as tears were suddenly breaking out. InuYasha stood up and Kyoko turned off the tv. InuYasha looked at me and then he smiled at me. I shivered and I couldn't keep my hands still, they were twitching all over.
Kyoko cried and smiled at the same time. 'They've been reunited now.. She found out too soon though...' Kyoko frowned a bit. I shuddered and then InuYasha kept looking at me, "Kagome?" I cried and then I hugged him. InuYasha was sad and he was happy, he embraced me with true love. "I miss you, you jerk..." I told him, InuYasha listened to my words.
"Why didn't you call me? Or why didn't you come back?" I cried as I sniffled. I put my head on his chest and then I hugged him by putting my arms around his neck, I nearly choked him but he didn't mind. "InuYasha... Say something!" I ordered him a bit. He beamed down at me and then he said, "I love you... Kagome..." he told me. I cried even more when he said that, and then InuYasha grabbed my chin, raised it up and kissed me.
Kyoko shielded her eyes and blushed. InuYasha kissed me more than five seconds and I enjoyed it when he let go. I blushed and put my head on his chest, "Why did you leave me and desert me for so long? Seven years have passed..." I told him. "I'm so sorry, I left you all by yourself, with our daughter, Kagome... I want to just go back in time and never have left you in the first place! I promised you that day that I would come back soon and I just deserted you for so long... It seemed like ages since we last saw each other..." InuYasha sorrowed.
I looked up at him and cried as he stared into my eyes. His hair was just like before, he hadn't changed once. Not at all. He still looked like the fifteen year old and I looked like I was a grown up now. That was really weird that I looked older than him and he was suppose to be older than me. InuYasha chuckled and then he said, "Kagome. You look old... just a bit..." he smiled and then I hit him a bit, he frowned and said, "What? It's the truth!"
"Remember this? I haven't forgotten after so long, you still are the jerk! SIT!" I called out and I quickly let go, and InuYasha hit the ground on his face. "Damn.. by now, I thought you would've forgotten!" he groaned as he managed to put his face up. I looked down at him and then I said, "You think I would've forgotten? No way, buster. If you ever came back, I promised that if you did, I would welcome you with five sits." InuYasha hit the ground again.
"Oops. Oh well, you deserved it anyway." Kyoko chuckled and said, "Mommy's scolding you, Daddy!" she laughed. InuYasha groaned and got up, "You haven't changed one bit, Kagome..." InuYasha smiled. I still cried but then I helped InuYasha up.
It was nearly six o' clock and then I gasped, "Oh! Dinner! Anyone want dinner? InuYasha?" I asked him, I pulled him up and then he took his hand back, "Okay, whatever... What's for dinner?" he asked me and then I said, "Oh you're so stubborn and picky! We're having terriyaki stew and onigiri." I smiled and Kyoko cheered, "Yay! Onigiri!" she said with exclamation.
"Oni... giri?" InuYasha asked me with a confused face.
Downstairs, Kyoko and her father looked the same. I looked at the both of them as they both gobbled down their onigiri balls. I had my chopsticks stuck in my mouth and then I dropped my head as they both finished, "More please!" they answered both and InuYasha and Kyoko laughed. "Hey! You're just like me!" Kyoko smiled as she was having a lot of fun. "Hah!" They both said together and this time, Kyoko added in, "Jinx!" "Jinx?" InuYasha was puzzled and he twitched his ears, Kyoko continued, "You owe me a soda!"
"A soda? What's a soda?" InuYasha said confused once again.
That night, Kyoko was sleeping soundly in her bedroom and InuYasha was taking care of her. When she was fully asleep, InuYasha slowly made his way out of her room and then he went into mine. I was reading a book in some dim light when I saw InuYasha. I had some reading glasses on my nose and then I took them off. "Oh InuYasha!" I said happily.
InuYasha had a sincere smile on his face. He blushed at me and then he said, "It's been so long..." he repeated from before. He went over to my bed and then he sat down. I put my book down beside me where the desk was, and I set my glasses and book there. I crawled towards him and then I embraced him while he quietly looked down at the ground.
I put my arms around him and then I rested my chin on his shoulder pad. "InuYasha... Why didn't you give me a signal? And what made you wait to come back so long?" I had so many questions to ask him but those were the only two main questions that were important. InuYasha blushed and then he put his hand on my hand, that was on his left shoulder.
InuYasha then took my hand and set it down. "InuYasha!" I said as he was really rude to me. "Why are you ignorning me?" "This is not you, Kagome... You have changed... I guess I was wrong. You have the looks of a fifteen year old girl, but not the attitude, your personality has changed since we last saw each other..." InuYasha smiled at me. I looked down at the ground and then I said, "Tch.. I don't even remember the good old days now... I don't remember what I use to be like as a teenager..." I said sadly.
InuYasha laid down on my bed and then I said, "What was I like back then, InuYasha?" I asked him gently. I settled beside him and then I put my head on his chest. InuYasha smiled and then he said, "You always had a sense of security, you were like the nurse in the gang. You always were worried of everyone and when you sensed something was wrong with a member of the gang, you always tried to cheer them up." I started to get some memory back now.
Then he continued, "You were sometimes stubborn when I got you angry like today. Whenever Koga and I fought--" I remembered the wolf demon leader of the wolf demon tribe now, I smiled and giggled. "--you'd always get angry and then you try to get Koga out of the way so he wouldn't have to fight me... And you always stopped me before I'd kill him." I looked up at him and said, "Thank you... InuYasha. I remember now, all the adventures use to be just a shadow, but you brought it all back, into the light!" I placed my head back on his chest.
He ran his fingers through my hair and then I sighed and went to sleep. "I'm glad..." I yawned, "we're back to--get-her.." I managed to say before I went to sleep. Then InuYasha blushed and before he could put the blanket on me, he went to sleep too. That night was one to never forget.
The next morning, it was Saturday morning. Kyoko woke up with a yawn and then just accidentally came by our room and then she gasped. "Ah!" she screamed softly. She then went down the stairs with a blush and giggle. I woke up and gasped, I remembered I had slept on InuYasha. He was about to fall off the bed until I got up and then I pushed him a bit and then I gasped. He fell on the ground with a thud and not only that, he had hit the desk drawer, "Sorry! InuYasha, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" I gasped.
InuYasha rubbed his head and then he said, "Oh shoot. That hurt!" He had hit the desk that was also near the right side of the bed. I helped him up and then he sat down on the bed, "Where's Kyoko?" he asked. We both went downstairs and to my surprise, she was cooking breakfast. "Hello parents!" she smiled, she was cooking up scrambled omelet and white rice for breakfast.
InuYasha blinked his eyes at Kyoko. "She can cook? But she's only seven!" he exclaimed, "Ah, but I taught her how to cook! And she wanted to too, so I taught her how to cook a simple omelet and white rice!" I clapped for myself and Kyoko. InuYasha and I sat down while Kyoko finished up the omelet. She had set the plates down and she put all the utensils in order.
In five minutes, she was an A+ cook and caterer. "All right! We can eat now!" Kyoko dug in into her own food and she chewed with extreme pleasure, she suddenly stood up and cried, "This is so good! I love it! I MADE IT!" she then sat back down and ate her food in luxury.
I smiled while InuYasha still didn't get it. He ate anyway and then he grinned, "Wow! This is good! You taught Kyoko how to cook up a good omeit!" InuYasha said incorrectly. I giggled and then I said, "It's ome-let. You said ome-it." I corrected him, "I said that!" he told me and then I said, "No you didn't." "Are you trying to pick a fight with me!" he shouted a little. I looked at him with a face, "No. I'm not, InuYasha, now sit. Oops."
InuYasha had hit the ground and he also broke the chair. "Oh, InuYasha! I just bought that chair two weeks ago!" I told him, he got up with extreme agility. "You're the one who told me to sit!" he argued. Kyoko was done with her meal and then she put her dishes in the sink. She smiled and hummed happily. "Well I wasn't listening to myself talk! Don't blame me!" I argued back.
"Mommy, I'm going to Tsukasa's house, ok? I'm gonna bring her over here since I promised I would show Daddy to her!" she smiled and went out of the house. While Kyoko did that, InuYasha and I argued about nonsense.
Fifteen minutes later, I was washing the dishes while InuYasha was protecting me. He was on the first step of the stairs and he just kept looking at me. I felt his eyes glaring at me but I was okay with it, he use to do that years ago. Suddenly the door opened and then Kyoko peeked in. "You guys? Daddy?" she pushed the door all the way open. Tsukasa was with her and that was the only person she was with.
InuYasha peered at Tsukasa and Tsukasa squealed. InuYasha stood up and then he was surprised as Tsukasa came up to him. "I knew it! You were right Kyoko! He looks exactly in the picture!" Tsukasa's eyes gleamed up and shined as she stared at InuYasha. "Who is this girl?" InuYasha said embarrassed.
I looked at Kyoko and then I said, "Does she know about you?" I asked her as I had forgotten. "Of course! Ever since pre-k!" Kyoko told me and then she glanced back at her friend. InuYasha stepped back but that only made Tsukasa step up twice as close as InuYasha wanted. "Uh... Why don't you go up and play upstairs with Kyoko, uh... Tsukasa?" he asked her. Tsukasa then said, "Psst!" she waved her hand to InuYasha as to let his head down and then InuYasha did it.
He lowered his head down and then she smiled, "Wanna know something?" she asked, Kyoko sighed and hit her forehead once. I looked at Kyoko and then I turned back to InuYasha and his problem. Tsukasa smiled and then InuYasha got irritated, "What is it?" Tsukasa snickered and then she shouted as she touched his ears, "I love your dog ears!" she shouted happily throughout the house.
InuYasha was being pulled at and then he backed away. Tsukasa let go and InuYasha fell onto the ground. He rubbed his ears and then he felt the hotness, after all that pulling. "Ouch! Don't do that!" InuYasha moaned as he was softly placing his hands on his two ears. Tsukasa smiled and said, "I wished I was like you guys. You guys are awesome!" "Oh it's not that great, Tsuki.." Kyoko put her hands up.
Tsukasa then grabbed Kyoko's hand and then Tsukasa smiled, "Let's go in your room!" she said active. Then Kyoko was dragged up the stairs and they both went up into Kyoko's room. I smiled and said, "I'm glad that Kyoko at least has one friend who understands you two. She's really nice most of the time and she didn't mean to pull your ears so hard, InuYasha. She just likes the way you are, cuddly, cute, and stubborn." I laughed.
InuYasha looked down at the ground and then he confessed. "Look, another reason I came here, not only to be with you again, but it was to take you back to the feudal era to keep you safe from harm in your world, Kagome... I'm sorry, I didn't tell you yesterday, but I was going to in the night when we were about to go to sleep, but you went to sleep too early." InuYasha gulped and waited for me to answer.
I put my head down and then I looked at the ground sadly. "So... That's why you came? Not only to greet me and stay with me, but to take me away from my home, InuYasha? Is that it? What about Kyoko?" InuYasha frowned and then he muttered out, "This world is no place for her. It would only cause trouble and pain for her, depression. I don't want her to judged just because she's different..." InuYasha said, he was looking very blue.
I looked at him and then I said, "InuYasha, the feudal era is the same thing you know. And it's more dangerous than this world too. There are demons and there are some people who just want to kill even the most harmless half-breed just because they're a half-demon. I know this world is dangerous for her, but your world is too. But that doesn't mean that we can't just move out of this one. Kyoko has no friends in the other era, but she has at least one in this world..." I told him.
InuYasha understood and then he stood up. "But... Don't you want for Kyoko to be safer in the other world? We can start a new life there..." InuYasha told me with his hair drooping down. I had my arm on the table and I had my hand on my cheek, I looked around the house and then I said, "There have been so many memories so here..." I remembered the first time that InuYasha tried to get in my room and he tried to come get me back as I was angry at him and he was too stubborn to say 'just come back.' It was just cause he thought I liked Koga that made him come back for me...
And then there was the other time that he came to visit. I called it the sleepover. He came just because I was sick and he wanted to do something for me so I could feel better. And instead, he gave me a cup of liver guts and other herbals that didn't do anything to make me better... But at the end, he went to sleep on my bed and he had a good time, since he got to rest for once.
It seemed like he always was there for me, when I was down, when I was angry, when I was too stubborn. I put my head down and my arms were crossed as I had my head on them. I sighed and then I had another reason to tell him why, "Would Kyoko like it?" I asked him. InuYasha put his head up and then he said, "You're probably right..." InuYasha mumbled.
He wouldn't ever want to make his daughter unhappy. Nor angry nor depressed. He thought about it and once Kyoko and Tsukasa came down, that's when he asked her. "Kyoko..." InuYasha muttered out, Kyoko listened. "Yes, Dad?" she said as she gazed at him. InuYasha gulped just a bit and asked her, "Would you like to go to the feudal era?" he asked her.
Kyoko put her hands up, "Oh, yes I would!" she thought it was just a visit. "No... Kyoko. I mean--" I started, "move there." I glimpsed up at her and then Kyoko's hands slowly came down. Tsukasa gasped and then Kyoko said, "Move there?" she looked disappointed.
Tsukasa looked at her and said, "Go with them. It's okay, Kyoko. It's better there than to stay here. You wouldn't want Chisa coming up to you and just killing you..." Tsukasa giggled but underneath that smile, she was saddened. "But... what about you? What are you gonna do when I'm not here?" Kyoko asked her, Tsukasa gave her a snort. "Oh come on, Kyoko! You know I have Urika and Tashi! Not to mention, Sayo." she smiled at her.
Kyoko started to cry and say, "I do... want to move." Tsukasa smiled and put her hand on her shoulder, "I do too... I don't want to be critized by other kids anymore." Kyoko confessed, "But I don't want to leave my friend over here." Tsukasa started to tear too and then she said, "Kyoko. As long as we're still friends, we're still best friends and we'll always be friends!" Tsukasa had tears rolling down her eyes.
Kyoko wiped hers away. "Really?" she said and then waited for a hug. Tsukasa hugged her and then they both sniffled. InuYasha was depressed and he sighed just a bit until I looked at him and saw that he was taking it hard. I had a tear coming down my cheek but I swiftly wiped it away. Tsukasa giggled and cheered up, "Come visit sometime." she told us. "Oh, we'll be doing that a lot." I chortled.
That made InuYasha a little better and that made me feel better too. Tsukasa was about to make it out the door when I stopped her. "Wait, Tsukasa. When you're in class and the teacher asks the class where Kyoko is... Tell her we just 'moved away.' Ok?" I questioned her and Tsukasa smiled, "Okay, Mrs. Hiragashi!" then everyone said good-bye to Tsukasa and then she was off.
InuYasha turned to Kyoko and then he said, "I'm sorry..." Kyoko looked at him and then she smiled, "That's okay. I want to move, I don't want to be judged by any more people now that it is. Chisa can leave me alone now!" she giggled. And then I said, "Well, let's pack up since we're leaving so suddenly..." I grinned. "Pack up?" InuYasha was hopeless.
After one hour of packing up, Kyoko had a backpack that had some stuff. "That's all your taking?" InuYasha asked her as he was being lazy not to help me out. He was against the wall with his leg crossed and he was standing up, he had his hands behind his head. Kyoko looked at him and said, "There's nothing much to take anyway..." she said. "I'm just taking clothes."
InuYasha grunted and said, "Whatever. There's clothes in the feudal era too, but they're all messy so good thinking." He told her and then Kyoko smiled. I came out with a huff and then I had my suitcase. Mine was three times as heavier and bigger as Kyoko's little backpack was. "Damn! Kagome, that's how much you're taking!" InuYasha was almost going to choke.
My bag was three feet tall and bludgy. I sighed and then I put my hand on my back, "What do you think? This is not even it. This is just my clothes and I still have to get the 'ninja' food too. Does Shippo still like lollipops?" I asked him. Then InuYasha groaned, "You're pushing yourself too much. I'll carry this while you get the food, okay?" InuYasha asked me as he carried my bag for me. I beamed at him and said, "Thank you."
"Yeah yeah. Just hurry up and let's leave already!" Kyoko was already downstairs, saying good-bye to technology, "I'll miss you, television!" she cried as she hugged the downstair's tv. I smiled and chuckled, "What are you doing?" I was really surprised and then Kyoko cried, "I'm gonna miss tv so much!" she dramatized.
"Kyoko. You barely watch any tv." I told her, "You always complain there's nothing on!" I said with a smirk and then she said, "I know that." She stopped crying and got serious. "Now I know just how important it is." Kyoko told me and then I laughed and went into the kitchen.
InuYasha sat down and yawned, "Are we almost done yet?" he asked irritated. I groaned and then I said, "Yeah, InuYasha. Almost. I just need the snacks." I told him and then I got to the cupboards and then I pulled out some candy that was Kyoko's and some cookies and ramen cups of noodles. InuYasha smelled the ramen and then he quickly went into the kitchen, "Is that ramen?" he asked and then I said, "Yup. Packing some up for the moveaway!" I said happily.
"I haven't had any in so many years!" he thought back. I gave him a smirk and said, "Well you're lucky I'm bringing some. It'll be like old times!" I said with joy. And then Kyoko looked outside, she looked around the pleasant area, of our family shrine. "I'm gonna miss this place so much..." she whispered to herself. I had a bag of the goodies and then I was done as I checked to see if there was anything missing. "Yep... I think we're done!" I said cheerfully. "Let's go!"
Kyoko glanced back at me and then she smiled. "Ok! I'm ready for adventure!" InuYasha put his hands on his hips and said, "Okay, let's go!" He dashed out the door and jumped to the shed. "Come on!" Kyoko was amazed at how strong and fast her father was. "He's amazing and better than me!" she exclaimed. "That's why I also love him." I told her and her eyes glistened.
Kyoko raced with her backpack hitting her back and then she jumped onto InuYasha. "Yay!" she shouted with bliss. InuYasha caught her but he fell to the ground with her, InuYasha managed to have the bag on the ground and then Kyoko cheered. "Yay!" InuYasha looked up at her and said, "You're fast... You might even be faster than me when you grow up!" InuYasha wasn't mad, he was surprised. "You got some genes from me at least..." InuYasha smirked.
Kyoko was relieved and she liked her father. He was stubborn sometimes, but he was happy with her. "Really?" she asked. Then I gasped, "You guys, keep going! I think it's that girl Chisa!" I warned them, Kyoko heard me and then she got worried. "My gosh! Daddy, get in the shed or she'll find you!" Kyoko opened the door and went inside quickly. I pushed InuYasha and then we tumbled down. "Ouchie!" Kyoko cried as she was dizzy.
I closed the door and then I peeked through the crack. It was Chisa Noriyama, she looked around to see if anyone was watching. "I sense someone's presence..." she said to herself. She glanced at the door and then I gasped. "Get in the well now! Jump into it!" I whispered, "Oh no, wait, we can't get in!" InuYasha then smiled at my remark. "Oh yes we can!" InuYasha grabbed my hand and then Kyoko's hand. We jumped into the well and then I gasped.
The bags were with us, good grief. I smiled as the portal in the well opened for me, 'I can cross over now!' I thought happily. Chisa on the other side hurried to the door and opened it up. "I know someone's in here!" she frowned, she saw no one and then she saw the well. She went down the stairs and said, "Interesting..." she looked down at it and saw just nothing but ground. It was clear to see that no one was in the room.
Then she left the shed and went away.
I opened my eyes and saw myself on the ground. Kyoko put her head up and she had her hand on her forehead. "Where are we?" she asked as she thought she had hit the bottom of the well. InuYasha stood up and said, "We're here!" he smiled and then I said, "We are... here?" I asked. I looked up at the sky and saw blue and some trees growing. I gasped and chuckled. "We're really here..." I started to cry but then I stopped myself. 'Calm yourself down, Kagome! Get a grip, but... I'm gonna see my friends again!' I thought happily with tears. InuYasha could see I was overjoyed and then he said, "Come on, Kagome! Grab my hand!" he told me and then I said, "Okay."
Kyoko got the start up first. "Let's see if I can jump all the way up there!" Kyoko challenged herself and jumped. She barely made it up and grabbed onto the ridge of the well. When InuYasha and I made it up, InuYasha helped Kyoko get up. "Ah!" Kyoko said relieved and I looked around. It seemed different.
I looked around and there was green everywhere. But some of the trees were just growing. I turned to my back and saw that the sacred tree was still there, but some of the trees were missing. "Huh?" I questioned and I turned to InuYasha. He had his head down and he was was feeling guilty. I looked at him and then I asked lightly, "What happened here?"
Kyoko heard me and then she said, "Wha?" she thought this is how everything looked like it when I was young. InuYasha kept quiet and suddenly he heard something busheling in the bushes nearby. "InuYasha?" I said worried as I clung to him. Kyoko gasped and then she said, "Huh?"
"Oh?" Shippo.
I gasped and then I said, "Shippo!" I exclaimed and then Shippo had his mouth open, "Huh? Kagome! KAGOME!" Shippo ran up to me and then he jumped into my arms. I hugged him and he looked up at me, "Kagome! Is that really you!" he asked me and then I cried, "Yes. You haven't changed one bit!" Shippo's eyes turned watery and said, "It's been so long!"
"Glad to see you too, Shippo. You haven't changed, you little demon." I touched his nose and he blushed, "Oh yes I have! I have changed, I'm a grown-up now!" He was a little taller but it was only one inch taller and he still looked like a kid. I went into my bag and then I got out a lollipop while Shippo was talking. Shippo snatched it from me and then he smiled, I giggled, "Doesn't look like it, you still like candy!" I told him.
"Forget I said all that stuff." Suddenly someone else was coming. But all I heard was a slap, "This is no time to do that! What if it's a demon, you lecturous monk!" a familiar woman's voice and then I gasped. She and Kirara came out and then I shrilled with excitement. I ran up to her and then Sango gasped, "What! Who ar-- AH!" Sango gasped and then she smiled, "KAGOME!" she hugged me and then someone else came out. "Miroku, look who it is!" she said happily. Kirara jumped down from Sango's arms to the ground, she mewed happily. "Kirara!" I said with excitement and hugged her.
InuYasha smiled and Shippo was looking at Kyoko. "Who are you?" Shippo asked Kyoko. Kyoko hid behind her father and she was too shy to come out from behind. "Who are you? Would you be by any chance, Shippo the fox demon?" Kyoko asked him. Shippo blushed and then he said with great proudness, "Of course I am! I'm Shippo the fox demon! Which you already said..." Shippo felt like a dope. Kyoko came out and her dog ears stuck out, "You're cute." She told her and he was flushing now, red again.
Her tail wagged and then Shippo was amazed. "Just who are you?" Kyoko looked at her father and then he had his arms crossed, "I'm Kyoko Hiragashi! That's my dad InuYasha! And my mom is over there with that girl who just came out of the bushes." Shippo gasped, "You're Kyoko! You're InuYasha's daughter! But you're so tall!" "And you're so cute!" Kyoko told him and then she got close to Shippo's face.
Shippo fell on the ground and then he said, "Well how long has it been now!" Shippo was apprehensive. Kyoko blinked his eyes at Shippo and then she said, "He's gonna be hard..." she snapped her fingers together. Shippo got towards me and as he was walking towards me, he thought. 'She's so tall and she's just seven years old! I'm nine years compared to her!' Shippo thought sadly, he hated being untall.
Miroku came out of the bushes and then he gasped, "Kagome! It's you Lady Kagome!" he said as he was astounded. I had my hand in the air and then I said, "Hi Miroku! Well, aren't you happy to see me, or angry?" I asked him, he didn't say anything. He had his mouth open, but there were no words coming out of his mouth. Sango went over to Miroku and then she put her arm around him. "Miroku?" she asked sweetly.
I was about to faint, I fell to the ground and I had my mouth open now. Shippo smiled and said, "Those two can't enough of each other..." Shippo smirked, "They're.. together? Finally!" I shouted with glee and the two lovebirds smiled. Sango and Miroku then looked at Kyoko. "Who's this little girl?" Kyoko was at my legs, and I couldn't move or I'd fall.
"Oh this? This is Kyoko, our daughter." I smiled and then I urged for Kyoko to come out of hiding. "Kyoko... Say hi to them." Kyoko blinked her eyes at them and then she came out of the clearing. Her dog ears twitched and her tail was still. "Hello..." she said softly. Sango and Miroku looked at her and said, "Pleasure to meet you, Kyoko." Sango crouched down and examined her, "She looks like InuYasha." InuYasha heard and smiled but he didn't let anyone see.
"But she doesn't have white hair... She has the same color hair as you and maybe the same length... Just down to her shoulders." Kyoko wagged her tail and then Sango gasped, "She has a tail? How did that happen?" Sango said surprised. I crouched down and put my hand on Kyoko's shoulder, "I don't know. I really don't care, it's just normal for a half-breed like her. But now that I think about it, demons only get the tails, but Kyoko's no full demon like Shippo here..." Shippo stepped away from Kyoko a bit. Kyoko glanced at him and smiled nicely.
InuYasha wondered about Kyoko's tail and then he said, "Why does she have one?" I sighed and then I said, "So... Is Kaede here?" I asked and then everyone got quiet. "Oh? What's wrong?" I asked them and then Sango gave me a frown, "I'm sorry... Kagome, she's dead." I gasped and then I put my head down. InuYasha kept his head down as well and then he took a breather and he was furious. But he didn't show his anger.
"When?" I asked sorrowfully. Kyoko didn't know who I was talking about nor did she get the subject. "She died two years ago... it was in the winter that she got sick and she passed away after that..." Miroku told me and then I shed a tear and then I wiped it away, "Well, at least she got to go to a better place..." I told them. InuYasha put his head down and then he said, "She did. Of course, she went to a better place..." he whispered to himself.
I sighed and looked up at the sky.
We all went to Kaede's old hut and we stayed there for some chatting. "So, how have you been doing all these years?" Sango asked me as she was with Kirara. Kirara meowed and was glad to see me. Did I mention that Kirara was a bit bigger now? Kirara mewed again and snuggled against my stomach. Kyoko looked at Kirara and Kirara looked at her. "Meow?" Kirara asked with thought. Kyoko reached her hand out to pet Kirara and then Kirara growled a bit. "Oh, it's okay, Kirara! What's wrong with you?" Sango asked.
Kyoko's ears went down and then she felt even more unwanted. Sango looked at Kyoko and then Sango whispered to Kirara something I couldn't even hear neither could InuYasha. Kirara perked her ears up and then Sango set her down. Kirara went up to Kyoko and sat beside Kyoko. Kyoko looked at Sango and Sango looked back at her, "Go ahead. She won't bite."
Kyoko placed her hand on Kirara and then she started to stroke. Kirara liked the feeling and mewed happily. "See? She's not bad, Kirara." Sango told her and Kyoko chuckled, "Yay! She likes me!" Kyoko cheered and then Shippo had a ball in his hand. He looked at Kyoko and blushed, "Do you want to play?" he asked her.
Kyoko blushed and smiled, "Sure!" Kirara was set down and then she whimpered, "Come on, Kirara, you're coming with us!" Kirara then dashed outside happily with the kids. When the kids went out, the grown-ups talked. "So... What have you been doing all these years, Kagome?" Sango asked again, I didn't answer her clearly back in the forest. "Nothing... much.. I missed InuYasha..." I put my head down and then InuYasha could still see I was worn out about that.
Miroku and Sango also knew about that. Miroku then said, "InuYasha didn't leave you, Kagome..." "Not now, Miroku.." InuYasha butted in. "Huh?" I looked up as my face was getting suspicious. Sango looked at InuYasha and Miroku said too much. InuYasha knew he couldn't leave my question alone and said, "A demon broke the well that same day, I left you. I had just jumped out of the well when I saw it. A twenty foot demon that just had come out of nowhere and he had broken the well.
'Ah! Oh no... Kagome!' InuYasha remembered the same day. The huge demon had destroyed the well and the village was totaled when he arrived there. "The monster had destroyed Kaede's village and many people were killed in the attack. I'm not lying, Kagome. He had destroyed the forest as well, except the sacred tree. If he destroyed the tree, then the tree in your era, would've disappeared... I tried to go back in time to get you... But I couldn't... The well was destroyed and it took a long time to get it fixed. After the well was fixed, which was after one year... I didn't want to go back... I'm sorry.."
"Maybe we should leave Miroku." Sango suggested as she whispered to him. Miroku then looked at her, "Why?" "Just go!" Sango pushed him out the door and then I sighed. "Is this really true?" I asked him sadly. InuYasha was right beside me and then he took me and held me. I looked at him and then I said, "Please, just answer my question." I told him and then InuYasha let go. "Yes... I was afraid that you would get angry at me for leaving you."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean, you didn't have to leave me for so many years, InuYasha! You could have come back, I was so worried... Sure, I would've been angry, but happy at the same time! InuYasha... you know I'd never get really angry at you... I was so scared throughout the years. That you died or someone had done something to you!" I cried in his arms. InuYasha glanced at me and he buried my head with his hair, "I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing!" I shouted and InuYasha put his head up. I sniffled and then I said, "I'm just glad you're safe now, you dope. I tried even killing myself before three years ago. I thought you were dead since it was so long and so I wanted to commit suicide, since I was so depressed! Yet, I couldn't because I had to take care of our little girl. I couldn't just leave her there, the only half-breed left in the world for crying out loud!" I kept sobbing.
InuYasha felt even guiltier. I was going to really kill myself since I was so alone and yet, I had my angel, Kyoko, there to comfort me when times were tough. She stopped me while I was in the bathroom of mine and then Kyoko started sobbing out, "No! Mommy don't do it! PLEASE, MOTHER, DON'T KILL YOURSELF!" she sobbed as she had her magazine with her and she threw it on the ground. I turned around with a pale face and I had the knife in my hand, and I dropped it.
That was scary since I didn't know what I was going to do after that. I was really lonely after that, I grew unhappier and Kyoko grew more aware of what I did. Sometimes she'd come home crying just because of her life and mine. A half-demon like her didn't belong in the present era. But I sure wanted her there with me since she was my daughter and she gave me the hope I needed.
InuYasha looked at the ground and thought, 'Why didn't she tell me that before we went to sleep that night?' he felt so sad and lost as he pondered. Then he got an idea, "Hey. Kagome." "What?" I wiped the soggy tears away from my eyes and then he gave me a grin. "Let's have a celebration for your comeback." he told me with a happy grin.
I looked at him and said, "A 'welcome back' celebration?" I asked as I was a bit happier now. "Let's call it, the Comeback and the New Member of the Inu Gang!" InuYasha meant Kyoko. He looked outside and saw Kyoko playing with Shippo and Kirara. He smiled and I followed him, "I think that's a good idea." I told him with pleasure.
