"Great. We lost another member... two more and I'M GOING TO BE STUCK ALL ALONE WITH INUYASHA!!!!! WHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Shippo began sobbing at the thought and launched himself into Kagome's protective arms.
"Sh... It's okay Shippo. Inuyasha isn't going to let anything happen to me..." Shippo's sobs decreased until he was just shuddering every once in a while.
He pulled himself together, and in one jump, smacked Inuyasha on the head, did a flip and landed in front of him. "You better not let anything happen to Kagome, Inuyasha!" 'I don't think that I can take losing another mommy...'
"I AM NOT GOING TO LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO KAGOME! AND IF YOU HIT ME AGAIN I AM GOING TO-"
"Osawari."
SLAM. "Bitch..."
"I know you dog demons like to mark your territory, but do you think you could ask me before you label me."
This made Inuyasha's head snap up. "What the hell are you talking about!?!"
Kagome eyed him coolly. "You called me a 'bitch' and 'bitches' are female dogs, meaning that you are obviously implying something..."
Inuyasha turned a very interesting shade of burgundy at the thought. "I'M NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING WENCH!!!!!!!!!!!"
The raven-haired Miko disregarded the 'wench' comment and shrugged slightly before turning back to Shippo and Kashaku.
While the three of them played tag, Inuyasha sulked in the tallest tree in the area, muttering about "Crazy girls from the future," "Me, label her!?! Feh..." and then a few off the track thoughts that he had to slam his head into a tree for. 'She'd make a good mother... I wonder how many pups she wants to have?' ext.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!! INUYASHA! COME QUICK!!!!!!!!!!"
In an instant Inuyasha was by Kagome's side, asking if she was all right.
"Look, there's someone in the river!"
"Oh? Is that all? I thought you were in danger or something..." Crossing his arms, he prepared to jump back into the tree and continue with his sulky/off-track thoughts.
"INUYASHA!!!"
"Whadda ya want me to do about it?"
"I WANT YOU TO." Here Kagome paused and shoved Inuyasha into the river they had camped by, "SAVE HIM!!!!!"
The silver haired Hanyou growled at her, and muttered a few select words under his breath. He then complied with her wishes and grabbed the drowning man, tossing him onto the bank like he weighed nothing, which to Inu, that was a fair assumption.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Inuyasha..." She shook off his defiant expression and went to help the man he had pulled out of the river.
An hour or so later the man finally came to. Only to scream in Kagome's face and scramble away yelling about a rouge Miko.
"Oy! What's your problem!?!" Inuyasha shouted, picking the guy up by the collar and glaring at him.
Kagome put a hand on his shoulder and gave him the, Inuyasha-he-wasn't- doing-anything-just-put-him-down-I'm-fine-really look.
(A/N: This is just sad. There is NOTHING on, and so, I have the TV on Barbie: Jammin' in Jamaica. Someone shoot me. Shoot me now...)
The silver-haired Hanyou sighed, and rolling his eyes and dropped the man who promptly scrambled back, trying to put distance between himself and Inuyasha.
Kagome smiled sweetly at him and offered him a hand up. "Don't worry about Inuyasha, he's just a bit over-zealous."
The monk glared at her and batted her hand away. "Get away from me witch!"
Okay, this was starting to get on Kagome's nerves. "I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!!!"
He looked taken back and looked at her closely. "You are right, my apologies lady."
Inuyasha snorted. "He sure changed tunes fast."
Kagome frowned and flashed him a warning look before turning back to the monk. "Who did you think I was?"
Before the man could answer, Kashaku popped up beside them. "Maybe he thought that you were Kin-chan, like in 3rd grade that one kid thought you were her, and he gave you all of his lunch money and ran, remember?"
Kagome laughed lightly at the memory. She had forgotten her coat that day and Kin had given her one of her spare coats, and with the hood up she had looked just like a slightly shorter version of the golden bully. Kin wasn't really a bully though, she just liked to beat up tough guys for fun. Never anyone smaller than herself though. You know, aside from the threats that she would beat them to the ground if they didn't leave her alone.
The monk looked confused at all of this, but proceeded to tell his story. "And then I awoke to find myself here my lady, I do apologize for the misunderstanding, but the resemblance you bare to the ghost priestess Kikyo is remarkable."
Kagome nodded vaguely before tilting her head to face Inuyasha, waiting to gouge his reaction to the news.
The silver haired teen was staring off blankly into space and without any notice he jumped to his feet and began taking great leaps to where his heart told him his beloved dead girlfriend was.
Kagome's long raven locks danced in the light breeze as her stunning blue eyes glazed over with crystalline tears. 'Of course. Why would he change? He's still in love with her. Why would he fall for a plain ugly looking girl like me when he has her... She died to save him... What have I done? Only gotten in his way... I'm just her reincarnate, I have nothing on her, she's perfect...' That was her line of thought before the more selfish part of her took over. 'She's dead, she didn't really die to save him... nothing of the sort actually... She was weak. They were weak. Their love was weak. Naraku played them for fools and they fell for it...'
She was startled out of her musings by being poked repetitively in the head. Batting her friend's hand away, Kagome took off towards the woods. She moved like a streak of lightning, not giving up any space in which to be caught. Though her other companions tried, they couldn't keep up with her.
She didn't bother to concentrate on where she was going, nor what was in front of her, she let her heart guide her while her mind was on other things. After a few minutes of running, it became clear to her. She had to kill Kikyo. Not because of some stupid rivalry, but because that wasn't the real her.
The real Kikyo had died 50 years ago, even before the wounds had taken her body from the world. Her soul had passed on when she thought that her love had betrayed her, all that was left in her body was her anger and her resentment. That was what killed Inuyasha, and that was what had been brought back to life. Kagome owed it to herself and to her ancestor to kill the shell of the once loved priestess. The real Kikyo would want that.
She had completely stopped paying attention to where she was going in favor of her inner musings and as it turns out, while her heart guided her around trees, it didn't pay much attention to rocks.
Kagome let out a startled half-scream when her foot caught and she found herself falling towards the ground. She the grass with a slight thud and proceeded to roll down the hill, not noticing the tingle that went through her body at one point during her tumble.
She landed with a certain 'grace' she could have done without. She was currently upside down with her legs in the air and her back pressed against a giant tree. She sighed and rolled to her feet, she hated her clumsy moments. Granted they were few and far in between, but it was just so annoying to be walking along one minute and sprawled out on the ground the next!
Rubbing her head she took in her surroundings, ending with the sleeping priestess in the tree. "Is she asleep?" Kagome wondered aloud.
Kikyo seemed to have heard her seeing as how she sat up and her soulless brown eyes viewed her reincarnate in a calculating manner. "I see you made it through my shield. You are more powerful than I thought." Her neutral face then angered. "But you are in my way."
Kagome stared at the dead priestess with a blank face. Before she could ask any of the questions that were running through her mind in that instant, she felt something wrap around her and draw her to the tree. Before Kagome could react she was pinned against said tree with little or no hope of escaping from the soul stealers grip.
"KIKYO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!?!" Try as she might the young Miko- in-training simply couldn't escape her prison.
The dead Miko ignored her reincarnate and walked around to the other side of the clearing. Seconds later Inuyasha's form burst through the foliage before landing lightly on the soft ground in front of his first love.
Kagome could just see the two of them if she craned her head around. "INUYASHA!!!!" 'What does that moron think he's doing!?!'
"So it was you Kikyo, gathering those dead women's souls?" Inuyasha's eyes were filled with confusion as he looked upon the once great priestess.
"You must find me disgusting Inuyasha, this sham of a body made of dirt and bone, driven only by the hatred of you!" Kikyo's eyes were filled with pain as she listlessly gazed upon. "Fool, you do hate me!"
Kikyo... I-I haven't stopped thinking about you, not even for a single day!" Inuyasha yelled, still oblivious to Kagome's presence.
"Inuyasha..." Her voice was soft as she said this, but her eyes glinted with triumph as she regarded her reincarnate's tearful expression. The lifeless Miko slowly pulled away from Inuyasha's embrace, only to pull him into a kiss.
Kagome's struggles doubled as she saw the Hanyou's eyes roll into the back of his head as he passed out in the dead girl's arms. The ground around the pair had begun to glow with an eerie, fire filled light. She had seriously had enough, first that bitch had trapped her in a stupid trap, then she kissed Inuyasha, and THEN she had the nerve to try and drag him down to hell too!!! "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! GET OFF HIM NOW!!!"
Kikyo ignored her cries and proceeded to drag the unconscious boy to hell faster. Their souls disappearing as she did so.
Kagome had all but given up hope of saving the Inu Hanyou, tears of anger, betrayal and sadness were pouring down her face as she called out one last time for him to return to her.
Inuyasha's head snapped up when he heard Kagome's anguished scream, letting instincts take over he leapt out of the portal to the underworld and landed by her side. Using his claws to rip through soul stealers he caught the surprised girl in his arms and helped steady her.
"Inuyasha. Does my copy mean more to you than I do?" Her icy voice cut through the cute moment like a knife.
Inuyasha dropped his arms from around Kagome as if burned and they both blushed a deep crimson color at her implication. Kikyo regarded them coldly before disappearing along with her soul stealing demons.
After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Kagome regained her senses. "OSAWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The clearing rang with the sound of her command and many birds shot out of the trees, disturbed from their slumber.
She stomped out of the clearing and past her confused friends who had been pounding on the barrier for the past hour. Her stormy mood continued all the way back to the village and the others wisely decided not to question her.
Sesshoumaru, Rin and Mizuna landed outside a large mansion at the top of mount Kaminari.
"I sense no one here. For your sake this had better not be a trap."
The blue-eyed demoness glared up at him coldly. "I do not waste my time on mindless tricks." She turned back to the large house and proceeded to weave her way through random passages, following the scent of annoyance and anger.
Sesshoumaru had remained outside to watch while Rin picked random flowers only found on top of mountains, much to her content.
Soon Mizuna found herself in a large room that was sparsely decorated. Without moving her eyes inspected the room with great scrutiny. A second later she bent down and scooped up a fallen earring.
The earring was a small gold hoop piece with a dangling gold chain that ended in a small flashing green emerald. Mizuna instantly recognized it as the pair Kashaku had given to her last Christmas.
Pulling a pen and paper out of nowhere, the blue haired girl calmly wrote down a message in her flowing script. She knew that English was one of the only classes that Kin actually paid. Some. Attention in so she chose to write it that way so that the thunder brothers wouldn't be able to decipher what she was writing.
When you decide to escape meet Kagome and the others at Kaede's village. I will be staying at the Western Lord's palace for the time being. When you get back watch Kashaku. You know how she can be.
-Mizuna
When she finished she tucked the note and the earring under the locket Kin had entrusted her with. There was no need for her to keep it, Kin would want it back anyway. She placed all three items on the table by a random vase before leaving the house.
In answer to Sesshoumaru's questioning gaze she nodded and floated into the air, waiting for him to lead her to his castle. The Taiyoukai picked up the awaiting Rin before taking off towards the west.
An hour or so later they finally landed only to be bombarded with a slightly, wait, scratch the slightly crazed toad. "LORD SESSHOUMARU! LORD SESSHOUMARU!!!!!! THE PRINCE OF THE SOUTH HAS ARRIVED EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Calm yourself Jaken... I shall take care of it. Rin, show your new 'aunt' to her quarters. She may have the ones across from your own." Sesshoumaru calmly swept away to greet the visiting lord, leaving the girls, and the stupid little toad thingy to their own devices.
Rin waved at his back happily until he was out of sight. "Mizuna-obasan, may Rin show Rin's new aunt the gardens? Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase!?!" Mizuna shrugged at her request before turning into a human; she was more used to this form and besides, all that pollen going into her sensitive nose was enough to make her inwardly cringe.
"NO YOU STUPID GIRL!!! Lord Sesshoumaru CLEARLY stated that you are to take this wench to her rooms-" He would have continued on, but then the moron realized that the two girls were already walking off.
When he pursued the girls with some deranged Sesshoumaru-loving speech(I am seriously beginning to think that stupid toad has something for fluffy- chan...) Mizuna's solution was to take his staff and test out her golfing skills. As it turns out she was a fair shot with a whole lot of distance.
Rin dragged her new aunt down a winding path that branched off in many places. After a few seemingly, and most likely random turns, they finally made it to the most beautiful gardens in the land.
Before Rin could show Mizuna any of her favorite flowers, a large viper Youkai leapt out of the bushes with a hiss. The still blue-haired girl reacted calmly as she always did and quickly pushed the little girl behind her as she flipped open her fan.
The overall pictures was like a scene out of a movie... Mizuna was crouched down ever so slightly with her right arm out to the side telling Rin to stay behind her while her left hand held her silver bladed fan in front of her. Her dark blue eyes flashed and her lips grew into a challenging smirk as her dark blue hair whipped around her in the harsh wind that had picked up only seconds prier.
"Can I help you with something?" Her entire stance screamed battle, but her tone was light and courteous as if she was asking him if he would care for more tea.
"Why are there humans in this private garden wench?" The snake hissed out, acting as if he owned the place.
"We are here because Lord Sesshoumaru allows us to be, and if you call me wench one more time I will personally cut out your tongue." At first her voice was sarcastic and rather daunting but then it changed to an icy cool tone that only added to her aggressive stance.
The snake threw back his head and laughed at her. "HA! You think that YOU are a match for ME!?!?! Humans are known for their stupidity, but this!!! ESPECIALLY WITH A FAN!!!!!"
Mizuna's eyebrow twitched. Standing from her protective stance she flipped her fan open and closed rapidly out of pure agitation. "Lord Sesshoumaru is this creature of any importance to you?" Her voice was calm, but it had a frosty edge as a warning to her mood.
"Not really, but I'd still prefer it if you didn't try to kill him." A tall young man stepped into view from the shadows. He was only an inch or so shorter than Sesshoumaru but his whole demeanor was much warmer. He had short, rather messy black hair that was tamed by a blood red headband and smoldering eyes that flashed orange then yellow before going back to red making it hard to decipher his true eye color. He had two red streaks on each of his cheeks(OMG I RHYMED SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME NOW!!!!) and one on each of his wrists. Must be a Taiyoukai thing...
His outfit greatly resembled Sesshoumaru's but there were differences. His pants and top were black with red flames licking the edges of his sleeves and pant legs. His armor was also silver and the plating was black as were his boots while his sash was a fiery red. He had one sword hanging from his hip and a larger one strapped across his back. He also had a few daggers scattered about his person for easy access, but no one who wasn't looking for them in exactly the right places would be able to see them.
"I don't 'try' to kill anyone." She said this with absolute confidence. She didn't "Try" to kill anyone, she succeeded. "Now if you will excuse me." She turned her back on all of them and knelt in front of her new charge. "Rin, would you care to show me to my room? I believe that it is going to rain soon."
Rin nodded, sad that she wouldn't get to show her new obasan any of her favorite places. "Okay Mizuna-obasan..."
Mizuna smiled slightly at her pouting expression. "It's okay Rin-chan, the second the rain clears up we can go outside for as long as you like, how does that sound?"
"YAY!!!!!" Rin excitedly jumped into Mizuna's arms and began to tell her all about her favorite places.
"Rin, I think that it would help if I knew where I was going..." Rin nodded obediently and immediately gave her some very confused directions.
Mizuna nodded vaguely before transforming back into her demonic form just as it began pouring rain. Turning around she waved a hand causing all the water that was about to fall on the two Taiyoukai to slide around them as it was doing with her and Rin.
"HEY WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?!?!??!?!" Her now cold eyes focused on the viper Youkai.
"What about you?" Her voice was calm and laced with ice, which was a warning to all not to push it.
He muttered "Bitch" under his breath but unfortunately for him, Mizuna heard it. Narrowing her eyes they flashed from sapphire to icy blue before going back to normal. The rain that was hitting the viper Youkai were now fist-sized balls of hail. Hey, spending all that time with Kin was beginning to rub off on her.
Turning back around she walked towards the castle, following Rin's lingering scent that was only slightly faded do to the water trying fervently to wash it away.
"IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING JAKEN IS BORING! OBASAN KICKED HIS HEAD AND NOW HE'S DEAD AND I HOPE SESSHOUMARU DOESN'T REVIVE HIM IN THE MORNING!!!!!!" Rin happily yelled/sang this song over and over again, and for some inexplicable reason, it never got old.
Kin rolled her eyes but she couldn't prevent a smile from creeping across her face. Slipping on the locket, she snatched up her missing earring and put it back in. "Gee... Thanks for the help Mi-chan." She muttered sarcastically.
Stretching her arms a bit, she wandered out of her room to find Hiten and bother him for some food. She would ask Manten(Who they had found on their way back) but a) he was a moron, b) he wanted to cut off her hair for some insane reason and c) he was an ugly pooh-pooh head. Yes that name was immature, but it fit her mood right now.
Along the way back to the mansion, Kin had eaten a fruit that was filled with sugar. And when she ate too much sugar, she tended to act like Kashaku, except not quite as extreme. The funny thing is, is that when Kashaku eats too much sugar, instead of getting more hyper, which we're pretty sure is impossible, she becomes calm and will just sit there until the sugar wears off.
Pulling a random brush out of nowhere, she began to brush her long luminous hair, partially for something to do, and partially to irritate Manten if she saw him. Pulling a band off of her wrist, she twisted her hair up into a tight bun so that the idiotic toad wouldn't be able to sneak up behind her and cut it off.
"Yo Hiten, ya'll got anything edible..." Her voice trailed off as she stepped into their living room. "Okay... I was actually going for something of the not-human-not-raw variety...."
It was all she could do not to see her breakfast again at the gruesome sight before her. Both Hiten and Manten were eating some fleshy thing that she'd really rather NOT identify. The entire room reeked of a human's death and blood was trickling down from Hiten's mouth and it was smeared all across the stupid toad's face.
Shutting her eyes tightly, she jerked her hand up and covered her mouth, trying to push back down the bile that was rising in her throat. Leaping across the room, over the brothers and their prey, she roughly shoved the door open and darted outside to empty her stomach behind a bush.
Spitting out the remaining taste Kin ran the back of her hand across her mouth before spitting once more. Walking slowly back over to the door she leaned her back against it. "Hey Hiten, I'm going back to that town to get myself some food... I have some money left over from the dresses..."
She stood and blocked out the image of them eating from her mind before walking slowly to the edge of the mountaintop. She heard the door slide open and then closed again before a light breeze hit her cheek.
Turning her head to the side she glanced at Hiten before jumping off the cliff only to stop in mid air with bits of lightning dancing around her feet and keeping her in the air. Throwing another glance at the bored looking Youkai she took off towards the village, looking like a golden streak in the darkness of the night sky.
Kin landed lightly in the forest surrounding the village before morphing into her human form. Grabbing Hiten's hand absently, she led him into the village. The second they stepped into view of others, she dropped his hand and tucked her own inside the sleeves of her kimono while he crossed his arms and glared half-heartedly at the pathetic humans that still swarmed the small town.
Walking towards what seemed to be a restaurant, she was halted by the sound of Hiten's voice. "Geisha house."
"Damn." She muttered, she should really start paying attention. Walking across the street she almost walked into yet another wrong place.
"Bar."
"Damn."
"Flower shop."
"Damn."
"Bookstore."
"Damn."
"Grocery store."
"Dam-wait, no, this is where I meant to go." This time she actually continued into the lit up building and leaving Hiten to lean against the store wall glaring at passersby.(Weird word...)
Kin emerged from the store half an hour later to find Hiten still leaning up against the wall with his face set into a scowl.
Balancing all the bags into one hand she walked over to him and poked him in the arm causing him to fall over. He sat up with a jerk and glared at her growling deep in his throat.
She giggled nervously and took a few steps back. "Um... Sorry Hiten... I didn't think that you were asleep..."
He stood up and dusted himself off while facing away from her. His head shot up as he faced the entrance to the village. Kin did the same, also feeling the strange energy that was headed towards them.
A bull Youkai burst through the gates and headed straight for Hiten in his blind rage. The tall, handsome teen merely raised an eyebrow not showing any fear at all. Holding one hand out in front of him, he awaited the pitiful attack.
As the large bull ran into his hand, he lifted it up and sent the bull flying to the other side of the village. Flying over to its motionless form, he kicked it lightly in the side to see if it was alive.
It didn't move so he shrugged before facing back to Kin. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he heard it flying through the air at him. His eye twitched as he dodged it and pulling his staff out of no where he brought it down and sliced through the creature, becoming covered in blood in the process.
Dropping to the ground he walked over the bloody corpse, reveling in the crunch of its bones under his booted feet. He ignored the amazed/surprised/horrified looks he was getting from the surrounding humans and strolled calmly over to the disapproving lightning Kitsune.
"We're taking a detour." He continued walking and Kin rolled her eyes before following him.
After a few minutes of fast paced walking, they finally reached their destination. Hiten immediately began to peel off his clothing with no regard for the flustered girl next to him.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!?!?!" Her face was bright red with embarrassment, not that he could see since she had the decency to face away from him.
"I'm going to take a bath, do you have a problem with it?"
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT IN FRONT OF ME, THEN YES I DO!!!!!!!!!!"
Hiten laughed. "Like I'd want to do anything with a scrawny girl like you."
Kin whirled around, forgetting about his state of undress while she glared at his face. "I AM NOT SCRAWNY YOU JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The dark haired teen tilted his head to the side as his heated gaze raked over her body. "You're right, you're not scrawny, you're fat."
Her face was once again red, but this time it was out of pure anger. Launching herself at the offending Youkai, she tackled him, sending the both of them into the hot spring.
Somehow Hiten ended up on top of her in the water, and he gave her an infuriating smirk before allowing her to stand up in the knee-length(For him) water.
Kin glared at him and spit the excess water from the spring into his face. "Jerk."
She shoved him out of her way and stomped out of the water and over to her fallen groceries. Wringing out her hair she gave him one last glare before stomping out of the clearing and sitting behind a tree with her back facing both the tree and the hot spring.

"Great. We lost another member... two more and I'M GOING TO BE STUCK ALL ALONE WITH INUYASHA!!!!! WHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Shippo began sobbing at the thought and launched himself into Kagome's protective arms.
"Sh... It's okay Shippo. Inuyasha isn't going to let anything happen to me..." Shippo's sobs decreased until he was just shuddering every once in a while.
He pulled himself together, and in one jump, smacked Inuyasha on the head, did a flip and landed in front of him. "You better not let anything happen to Kagome, Inuyasha!" 'I don't think that I can take losing another mommy...'
"I AM NOT GOING TO LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO KAGOME! AND IF YOU HIT ME AGAIN I AM GOING TO-"
"Osawari."
SLAM. "Bitch..."
"I know you dog demons like to mark your territory, but do you think you could ask me before you label me."
This made Inuyasha's head snap up. "What the hell are you talking about!?!"
Kagome eyed him coolly. "You called me a 'bitch' and 'bitches' are female dogs, meaning that you are obviously implying something..."
Inuyasha turned a very interesting shade of burgundy at the thought. "I'M NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING WENCH!!!!!!!!!!!"
The raven-haired Miko disregarded the 'wench' comment and shrugged slightly before turning back to Shippo and Kashaku.
While the three of them played tag, Inuyasha sulked in the tallest tree in the area, muttering about "Crazy girls from the future," "Me, label her!?! Feh..." and then a few off the track thoughts that he had to slam his head into a tree for. 'She'd make a good mother... I wonder how many pups she wants to have?' ext.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!! INUYASHA! COME QUICK!!!!!!!!!!"
In an instant Inuyasha was by Kagome's side, asking if she was all right.
"Look, there's someone in the river!"
"Oh? Is that all? I thought you were in danger or something..." Crossing his arms, he prepared to jump back into the tree and continue with his sulky/off-track thoughts.
"INUYASHA!!!"
"Whadda ya want me to do about it?"
"I WANT YOU TO." Here Kagome paused and shoved Inuyasha into the river they had camped by, "SAVE HIM!!!!!"
The silver haired Hanyou growled at her, and muttered a few select words under his breath. He then complied with her wishes and grabbed the drowning man, tossing him onto the bank like he weighed nothing, which to Inu, that was a fair assumption.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Inuyasha..." She shook off his defiant expression and went to help the man he had pulled out of the river.
An hour or so later the man finally came to. Only to scream in Kagome's face and scramble away yelling about a rouge Miko.
"Oy! What's your problem!?!" Inuyasha shouted, picking the guy up by the collar and glaring at him.
Kagome put a hand on his shoulder and gave him the, Inuyasha-he-wasn't- doing-anything-just-put-him-down-I'm-fine-really look.
(A/N: This is just sad. There is NOTHING on, and so, I have the TV on Barbie: Jammin' in Jamaica. Someone shoot me. Shoot me now...)
The silver-haired Hanyou sighed, and rolling his eyes and dropped the man who promptly scrambled back, trying to put distance between himself and Inuyasha.
Kagome smiled sweetly at him and offered him a hand up. "Don't worry about Inuyasha, he's just a bit over-zealous."
The monk glared at her and batted her hand away. "Get away from me witch!"
Okay, this was starting to get on Kagome's nerves. "I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!!!"
He looked taken back and looked at her closely. "You are right, my apologies lady."
Inuyasha snorted. "He sure changed tunes fast."
Kagome frowned and flashed him a warning look before turning back to the monk. "Who did you think I was?"
Before the man could answer, Kashaku popped up beside them. "Maybe he thought that you were Kin-chan, like in 3rd grade that one kid thought you were her, and he gave you all of his lunch money and ran, remember?"
Kagome laughed lightly at the memory. She had forgotten her coat that day and Kin had given her one of her spare coats, and with the hood up she had looked just like a slightly shorter version of the golden bully. Kin wasn't really a bully though, she just liked to beat up tough guys for fun. Never anyone smaller than herself though. You know, aside from the threats that she would beat them to the ground if they didn't leave her alone.
The monk looked confused at all of this, but proceeded to tell his story. "And then I awoke to find myself here my lady, I do apologize for the misunderstanding, but the resemblance you bare to the ghost priestess Kikyo is remarkable."
Kagome nodded vaguely before tilting her head to face Inuyasha, waiting to gouge his reaction to the news.
The silver haired teen was staring off blankly into space and without any notice he jumped to his feet and began taking great leaps to where his heart told him his beloved dead girlfriend was.
Kagome's long raven locks danced in the light breeze as her stunning blue eyes glazed over with crystalline tears. 'Of course. Why would he change? He's still in love with her. Why would he fall for a plain ugly looking girl like me when he has her... She died to save him... What have I done? Only gotten in his way... I'm just her reincarnate, I have nothing on her, she's perfect...' That was her line of thought before the more selfish part of her took over. 'She's dead, she didn't really die to save him... nothing of the sort actually... She was weak. They were weak. Their love was weak. Naraku played them for fools and they fell for it...'
She was startled out of her musings by being poked repetitively in the head. Batting her friend's hand away, Kagome took off towards the woods. She moved like a streak of lightning, not giving up any space in which to be caught. Though her other companions tried, they couldn't keep up with her.
She didn't bother to concentrate on where she was going, nor what was in front of her, she let her heart guide her while her mind was on other things. After a few minutes of running, it became clear to her. She had to kill Kikyo. Not because of some stupid rivalry, but because that wasn't the real her.
The real Kikyo had died 50 years ago, even before the wounds had taken her body from the world. Her soul had passed on when she thought that her love had betrayed her, all that was left in her body was her anger and her resentment. That was what killed Inuyasha, and that was what had been brought back to life. Kagome owed it to herself and to her ancestor to kill the shell of the once loved priestess. The real Kikyo would want that.
She had completely stopped paying attention to where she was going in favor of her inner musings and as it turns out, while her heart guided her around trees, it didn't pay much attention to rocks.
Kagome let out a startled half-scream when her foot caught and she found herself falling towards the ground. She the grass with a slight thud and proceeded to roll down the hill, not noticing the tingle that went through her body at one point during her tumble.
She landed with a certain 'grace' she could have done without. She was currently upside down with her legs in the air and her back pressed against a giant tree. She sighed and rolled to her feet, she hated her clumsy moments. Granted they were few and far in between, but it was just so annoying to be walking along one minute and sprawled out on the ground the next!
Rubbing her head she took in her surroundings, ending with the sleeping priestess in the tree. "Is she asleep?" Kagome wondered aloud.
Kikyo seemed to have heard her seeing as how she sat up and her soulless brown eyes viewed her reincarnate in a calculating manner. "I see you made it through my shield. You are more powerful than I thought." Her neutral face then angered. "But you are in my way."
Kagome stared at the dead priestess with a blank face. Before she could ask any of the questions that were running through her mind in that instant, she felt something wrap around her and draw her to the tree. Before Kagome could react she was pinned against said tree with little or no hope of escaping from the soul stealers grip.
"KIKYO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!?!" Try as she might the young Miko- in-training simply couldn't escape her prison.
The dead Miko ignored her reincarnate and walked around to the other side of the clearing. Seconds later Inuyasha's form burst through the foliage before landing lightly on the soft ground in front of his first love.
Kagome could just see the two of them if she craned her head around. "INUYASHA!!!!" 'What does that moron think he's doing!?!'
"So it was you Kikyo, gathering those dead women's souls?" Inuyasha's eyes were filled with confusion as he looked upon the once great priestess.
"You must find me disgusting Inuyasha, this sham of a body made of dirt and bone, driven only by the hatred of you!" Kikyo's eyes were filled with pain as she listlessly gazed upon. "Fool, you do hate me!"
Kikyo... I-I haven't stopped thinking about you, not even for a single day!" Inuyasha yelled, still oblivious to Kagome's presence.
"Inuyasha..." Her voice was soft as she said this, but her eyes glinted with triumph as she regarded her reincarnate's tearful expression. The lifeless Miko slowly pulled away from Inuyasha's embrace, only to pull him into a kiss.
Kagome's struggles doubled as she saw the Hanyou's eyes roll into the back of his head as he passed out in the dead girl's arms. The ground around the pair had begun to glow with an eerie, fire filled light. She had seriously had enough, first that bitch had trapped her in a stupid trap, then she kissed Inuyasha, and THEN she had the nerve to try and drag him down to hell too!!! "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! GET OFF HIM NOW!!!"
Kikyo ignored her cries and proceeded to drag the unconscious boy to hell faster. Their souls disappearing as she did so.
Kagome had all but given up hope of saving the Inu Hanyou, tears of anger, betrayal and sadness were pouring down her face as she called out one last time for him to return to her.
Inuyasha's head snapped up when he heard Kagome's anguished scream, letting instincts take over he leapt out of the portal to the underworld and landed by her side. Using his claws to rip through soul stealers he caught the surprised girl in his arms and helped steady her.
"Inuyasha. Does my copy mean more to you than I do?" Her icy voice cut through the cute moment like a knife.
Inuyasha dropped his arms from around Kagome as if burned and they both blushed a deep crimson color at her implication. Kikyo regarded them coldly before disappearing along with her soul stealing demons.
After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Kagome regained her senses. "OSAWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The clearing rang with the sound of her command and many birds shot out of the trees, disturbed from their slumber.
She stomped out of the clearing and past her confused friends who had been pounding on the barrier for the past hour. Her stormy mood continued all the way back to the village and the others wisely decided not to question her.
Sesshoumaru, Rin and Mizuna landed outside a large mansion at the top of mount Kaminari.
"I sense no one here. For your sake this had better not be a trap."
The blue-eyed demoness glared up at him coldly. "I do not waste my time on mindless tricks." She turned back to the large house and proceeded to weave her way through random passages, following the scent of annoyance and anger.
Sesshoumaru had remained outside to watch while Rin picked random flowers only found on top of mountains, much to her content.
Soon Mizuna found herself in a large room that was sparsely decorated. Without moving her eyes inspected the room with great scrutiny. A second later she bent down and scooped up a fallen earring.
The earring was a small gold hoop piece with a dangling gold chain that ended in a small flashing green emerald. Mizuna instantly recognized it as the pair Kashaku had given to her last Christmas.
Pulling a pen and paper out of nowhere, the blue haired girl calmly wrote down a message in her flowing script. She knew that English was one of the only classes that Kin actually paid. Some. Attention in so she chose to write it that way so that the thunder brothers wouldn't be able to decipher what she was writing.
When you decide to escape meet Kagome and the others at Kaede's village. I will be staying at the Western Lord's palace for the time being. When you get back watch Kashaku. You know how she can be.
-Mizuna
When she finished she tucked the note and the earring under the locket Kin had entrusted her with. There was no need for her to keep it, Kin would want it back anyway. She placed all three items on the table by a random vase before leaving the house.
In answer to Sesshoumaru's questioning gaze she nodded and floated into the air, waiting for him to lead her to his castle. The Taiyoukai picked up the awaiting Rin before taking off towards the west.
An hour or so later they finally landed only to be bombarded with a slightly, wait, scratch the slightly crazed toad. "LORD SESSHOUMARU! LORD SESSHOUMARU!!!!!! THE PRINCE OF THE SOUTH HAS ARRIVED EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Calm yourself Jaken... I shall take care of it. Rin, show your new 'aunt' to her quarters. She may have the ones across from your own." Sesshoumaru calmly swept away to greet the visiting lord, leaving the girls, and the stupid little toad thingy to their own devices.
Rin waved at his back happily until he was out of sight. "Mizuna-obasan, may Rin show Rin's new aunt the gardens? Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase!?!" Mizuna shrugged at her request before turning into a human; she was more used to this form and besides, all that pollen going into her sensitive nose was enough to make her inwardly cringe.
"NO YOU STUPID GIRL!!! Lord Sesshoumaru CLEARLY stated that you are to take this wench to her rooms-" He would have continued on, but then the moron realized that the two girls were already walking off.
When he pursued the girls with some deranged Sesshoumaru-loving speech(I am seriously beginning to think that stupid toad has something for fluffy- chan...) Mizuna's solution was to take his staff and test out her golfing skills. As it turns out she was a fair shot with a whole lot of distance.
Rin dragged her new aunt down a winding path that branched off in many places. After a few seemingly, and most likely random turns, they finally made it to the most beautiful gardens in the land.
Before Rin could show Mizuna any of her favorite flowers, a large viper Youkai leapt out of the bushes with a hiss. The still blue-haired girl reacted calmly as she always did and quickly pushed the little girl behind her as she flipped open her fan.
The overall pictures was like a scene out of a movie... Mizuna was crouched down ever so slightly with her right arm out to the side telling Rin to stay behind her while her left hand held her silver bladed fan in front of her. Her dark blue eyes flashed and her lips grew into a challenging smirk as her dark blue hair whipped around her in the harsh wind that had picked up only seconds prier.
"Can I help you with something?" Her entire stance screamed battle, but her tone was light and courteous as if she was asking him if he would care for more tea.
"Why are there humans in this private garden wench?" The snake hissed out, acting as if he owned the place.
"We are here because Lord Sesshoumaru allows us to be, and if you call me wench one more time I will personally cut out your tongue." At first her voice was sarcastic and rather daunting but then it changed to an icy cool tone that only added to her aggressive stance.
The snake threw back his head and laughed at her. "HA! You think that YOU are a match for ME!?!?! Humans are known for their stupidity, but this!!! ESPECIALLY WITH A FAN!!!!!"
Mizuna's eyebrow twitched. Standing from her protective stance she flipped her fan open and closed rapidly out of pure agitation. "Lord Sesshoumaru is this creature of any importance to you?" Her voice was calm, but it had a frosty edge as a warning to her mood.
"Not really, but I'd still prefer it if you didn't try to kill him." A tall young man stepped into view from the shadows. He was only an inch or so shorter than Sesshoumaru but his whole demeanor was much warmer. He had short, rather messy black hair that was tamed by a blood red headband and smoldering eyes that flashed orange then yellow before going back to red making it hard to decipher his true eye color. He had two red streaks on each of his cheeks(OMG I RHYMED SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME NOW!!!!) and one on each of his wrists. Must be a Taiyoukai thing...
His outfit greatly resembled Sesshoumaru's but there were differences. His pants and top were black with red flames licking the edges of his sleeves and pant legs. His armor was also silver and the plating was black as were his boots while his sash was a fiery red. He had one sword hanging from his hip and a larger one strapped across his back. He also had a few daggers scattered about his person for easy access, but no one who wasn't looking for them in exactly the right places would be able to see them.
"I don't 'try' to kill anyone." She said this with absolute confidence. She didn't "Try" to kill anyone, she succeeded. "Now if you will excuse me." She turned her back on all of them and knelt in front of her new charge. "Rin, would you care to show me to my room? I believe that it is going to rain soon."
Rin nodded, sad that she wouldn't get to show her new obasan any of her favorite places. "Okay Mizuna-obasan..."
Mizuna smiled slightly at her pouting expression. "It's okay Rin-chan, the second the rain clears up we can go outside for as long as you like, how does that sound?"
"YAY!!!!!" Rin excitedly jumped into Mizuna's arms and began to tell her all about her favorite places.
"Rin, I think that it would help if I knew where I was going..." Rin nodded obediently and immediately gave her some very confused directions.
Mizuna nodded vaguely before transforming back into her demonic form just as it began pouring rain. Turning around she waved a hand causing all the water that was about to fall on the two Taiyoukai to slide around them as it was doing with her and Rin.
"HEY WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?!?!??!?!" Her now cold eyes focused on the viper Youkai.
"What about you?" Her voice was calm and laced with ice, which was a warning to all not to push it.
He muttered "Bitch" under his breath but unfortunately for him, Mizuna heard it. Narrowing her eyes they flashed from sapphire to icy blue before going back to normal. The rain that was hitting the viper Youkai were now fist-sized balls of hail. Hey, spending all that time with Kin was beginning to rub off on her.
Turning back around she walked towards the castle, following Rin's lingering scent that was only slightly faded do to the water trying fervently to wash it away.
"IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING JAKEN IS BORING! OBASAN KICKED HIS HEAD AND NOW HE'S DEAD AND I HOPE SESSHOUMARU DOESN'T REVIVE HIM IN THE MORNING!!!!!!" Rin happily yelled/sang this song over and over again, and for some inexplicable reason, it never got old.
Kin rolled her eyes but she couldn't prevent a smile from creeping across her face. Slipping on the locket, she snatched up her missing earring and put it back in. "Gee... Thanks for the help Mi-chan." She muttered sarcastically.
Stretching her arms a bit, she wandered out of her room to find Hiten and bother him for some food. She would ask Manten(Who they had found on their way back) but a) he was a moron, b) he wanted to cut off her hair for some insane reason and c) he was an ugly pooh-pooh head. Yes that name was immature, but it fit her mood right now.
Along the way back to the mansion, Kin had eaten a fruit that was filled with sugar. And when she ate too much sugar, she tended to act like Kashaku, except not quite as extreme. The funny thing is, is that when Kashaku eats too much sugar, instead of getting more hyper, which we're pretty sure is impossible, she becomes calm and will just sit there until the sugar wears off.
Pulling a random brush out of nowhere, she began to brush her long luminous hair, partially for something to do, and partially to irritate Manten if she saw him. Pulling a band off of her wrist, she twisted her hair up into a tight bun so that the idiotic toad wouldn't be able to sneak up behind her and cut it off.
"Yo Hiten, ya'll got anything edible..." Her voice trailed off as she stepped into their living room. "Okay... I was actually going for something of the not-human-not-raw variety...."
It was all she could do not to see her breakfast again at the gruesome sight before her. Both Hiten and Manten were eating some fleshy thing that she'd really rather NOT identify. The entire room reeked of a human's death and blood was trickling down from Hiten's mouth and it was smeared all across the stupid toad's face.
Shutting her eyes tightly, she jerked her hand up and covered her mouth, trying to push back down the bile that was rising in her throat. Leaping across the room, over the brothers and their prey, she roughly shoved the door open and darted outside to empty her stomach behind a bush.
Spitting out the remaining taste Kin ran the back of her hand across her mouth before spitting once more. Walking slowly back over to the door she leaned her back against it. "Hey Hiten, I'm going back to that town to get myself some food... I have some money left over from the dresses..."
She stood and blocked out the image of them eating from her mind before walking slowly to the edge of the mountaintop. She heard the door slide open and then closed again before a light breeze hit her cheek.
Turning her head to the side she glanced at Hiten before jumping off the cliff only to stop in mid air with bits of lightning dancing around her feet and keeping her in the air. Throwing another glance at the bored looking Youkai she took off towards the village, looking like a golden streak in the darkness of the night sky.
Kin landed lightly in the forest surrounding the village before morphing into her human form. Grabbing Hiten's hand absently, she led him into the village. The second they stepped into view of others, she dropped his hand and tucked her own inside the sleeves of her kimono while he crossed his arms and glared half-heartedly at the pathetic humans that still swarmed the small town.
Walking towards what seemed to be a restaurant, she was halted by the sound of Hiten's voice. "Geisha house."
"Damn." She muttered, she should really start paying attention. Walking across the street she almost walked into yet another wrong place.
"Bar."
"Damn."
"Flower shop."
"Damn."
"Bookstore."
"Damn."
"Grocery store."
"Dam-wait, no, this is where I meant to go." This time she actually continued into the lit up building and leaving Hiten to lean against the store wall glaring at passersby.(Weird word...)
Kin emerged from the store half an hour later to find Hiten still leaning up against the wall with his face set into a scowl.
Balancing all the bags into one hand she walked over to him and poked him in the arm causing him to fall over. He sat up with a jerk and glared at her growling deep in his throat.
She giggled nervously and took a few steps back. "Um... Sorry Hiten... I didn't think that you were asleep..."
He stood up and dusted himself off while facing away from her. His head shot up as he faced the entrance to the village. Kin did the same, also feeling the strange energy that was headed towards them.
A bull Youkai burst through the gates and headed straight for Hiten in his blind rage. The tall, handsome teen merely raised an eyebrow not showing any fear at all. Holding one hand out in front of him, he awaited the pitiful attack.
As the large bull ran into his hand, he lifted it up and sent the bull flying to the other side of the village. Flying over to its motionless form, he kicked it lightly in the side to see if it was alive.
It didn't move so he shrugged before facing back to Kin. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he heard it flying through the air at him. His eye twitched as he dodged it and pulling his staff out of no where he brought it down and sliced through the creature, becoming covered in blood in the process.
Dropping to the ground he walked over the bloody corpse, reveling in the crunch of its bones under his booted feet. He ignored the amazed/surprised/horrified looks he was getting from the surrounding humans and strolled calmly over to the disapproving lightning Kitsune.
"We're taking a detour." He continued walking and Kin rolled her eyes before following him.
After a few minutes of fast paced walking, they finally reached their destination. Hiten immediately began to peel off his clothing with no regard for the flustered girl next to him.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!?!?!" Her face was bright red with embarrassment, not that he could see since she had the decency to face away from him.
"I'm going to take a bath, do you have a problem with it?"
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT IN FRONT OF ME, THEN YES I DO!!!!!!!!!!"
Hiten laughed. "Like I'd want to do anything with a scrawny girl like you."
Kin whirled around, forgetting about his state of undress while she glared at his face. "I AM NOT SCRAWNY YOU JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The dark haired teen tilted his head to the side as his heated gaze raked over her body. "You're right, you're not scrawny, you're fat."
Her face was once again red, but this time it was out of pure anger. Launching herself at the offending Youkai, she tackled him, sending the both of them into the hot spring.
Somehow Hiten ended up on top of her in the water, and he gave her an infuriating smirk before allowing her to stand up in the knee-length(For him) water.
Kin glared at him and spit the excess water from the spring into his face. "Jerk."
She shoved him out of her way and stomped out of the water and over to her fallen groceries. Wringing out her hair she gave him one last glare before stomping out of the clearing and sitting behind a tree with her back facing both the tree and the hot spring.
