Chapter Four—Lady Kagome…?
"So this is Kagome's time" shippo asked jumping on Miroku's shoulder.
"No…this is different…." Inuyasha said looking around. "Kagome's time is louder and the houses look different…..wait…someone's coming" he said turning around.
"There behind the trees…" Miroku said leading them to see who or what was there…
With a sigh of annoyance the hanyou followed.
"I don't hide monk!" he said placing his hands on his hips.
"We don't know where we are and have no idea who or what is there better to figure out what is coming then face it head on unprepared."
"Miroku's right Inuyasha" Sango agreed.
"Sure whatever" Inuyasha said with a sigh.
The group waited in the bush till the "thing" came into view…They nearly fell over when they realized it was merely a group of human children and a priestess.
"Well…we can't be too much into the future…there are still priestess..." the hanyou said.
"Wait…"Sango said "Look at her…doesn't she remind you of someone…?"
"Yes…she's beautiful…Very beautiful…" the monk said.
WACK!
The monk now sported a big red handprint on his cheek from Sango.
'Stupid monk…doesn't he ever learn…'
"You're right though…she does look a lot like…." Inuyasha said as he looked closer at the priestess. The monk was right she Was very beautiful…she reminded him a lot of….
"Kagome!" the hanyou yelled…
"Kagome…Inuyasha…?" the monk said confused.
"She looks Exactly like Kagome…just with longer hair cant you see it!"
The three looked over the priestess trying to see what the hanyou had saw, their eyes widen in astonishment.
"You're right she does look Exactly like Kagome…" Shippo said.
"Wow…I always thought Kagome was pretty…but wow…if that is how she could turn out looking…" the monk said still in shock.
This just earned him another smack from the demon slayer and evil glares from the hanyou.
"What…" the monk said in defense. "Can you blame me…Look at her" he said pointing to the priestess that was surrounded but a group of people.
'The monk had a point' the hanyou said. 'She's gone from beautiful to astounding' the girl before them looked like Kagome but they weren't exactly sure if it was…I mean Kikyo looked almost identical to Kagome…but this girl Was Kagome…down to the very last feature. Except she had long hair down below her waist that looked like it was made to fit her face, she was dressed in formal clothing as if she was a princess or something. And her face was beautiful…close to perfection…
In the distance the group could hear the children and the strange girl laughing.
"We should follow them…find out who that was…maybe we can find out where we are…" The monk suggested.
"Right" the group said in unison.
When they caught up with them; the children were playing what looked like tag while the priestess was watching them.
"Lady Kagome!" one of the children yelled to the priestess.
"Kagome" they all said…
"So that Is Kagome…."the monk said…this time keeping his lecherous thoughts inside…trying not to get hit again…
"Shhh" they told the monk.
"Lady Kagome…" more of the children called.
"Wont you come play with us!" they asked
"Pleeaaasseee" they pleaded
The future Kagome sighed and went to join the children in there game.
"YAY!" the children cheered. And they continued on with there game. It was nearly dark when they started to leave.
"Come on children we got to get you guys back to the village."
"But…Lady Kagome…" they whined.
"No buts about it! Its almost dark…" she said leading them back to the village.
When they were out of sight the group was silent. It was shippo who first broke the silence.
"If that was Kagome then we can go talk to her right….?"
"No…we don't know anything about this time…I think it is best if we just stick to following her for now…" the monk said
"The monk is righ…."the hanyou started but stopped when he saw Kagome coming back to the river.
"Shh" he told the rest of the group.
Kagome stopped right in front of the river and just stared. It was a long time before anything happened.
"Lady Kagome…?" A young girl said. She was dressed like a servant.
"Yes Miniko?" kagome said turning to face the person who had interrupted her alone time.
"I…I…was…won...wondering…if…you…were…plan…planning…to…re…return…to the …castle…for…dinner….my lady…?" she said nervously.
A soft giggle came from the girls' throat. "Don't be so nervous Miniko…and yes I will be returning for dinner…has Sakura gotten fussy?" she questioned.
"You…know…your daughter my lady…always fussy when you are not around…" she said in a voice a little more confident then before…
