Nanura: The Daughter of InuYasha and Kagome
Chapter 4~ The Wrath of Kagome
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome woke at about 4 am thinking something was wrong. She trudged wearily into Nanura's room and noticed she was gone. She walked over to the bed and saw the headband she had given to Nanura when she was born. It was enchanted to suppress her demon blood inherited from InuYasha.
"NANURA!!" Kagome screamed and ran outside in her nightshirt and robe. "Where are you young lady?" Kagome noticed the well house doors were open. "Oh, no. She didn't." Kagome walked over to the well and got onto the ladder. "Guess it wouldn't hurt. She'll need me if she's there. I sure hope this old thing will still transport me through time." She climbed down and the blue mist that had surrounded Nanura surrounded Kagome. She was instantly transported.
Kagome climbed out and looked up at the full moon. She didn't know what moon phase changed her into a demon but she hoped it wasn't the full moon.
She looked down and noticed she was barefoot and barely clothed. "Shoot. I better find Nanura soon, before I'm found by the locals." She muttered and ran off into the forest. If InuYasha could run around barefoot then so could she. She hoped…
She ran into a clearing where she tripped and rolled right into the side of a hut.
Crack! @_@ Kagome was knocked unconscious from the impact of hitting the hut.
"Did you hear that?" Came a light, male voice from inside the hut.
"No." A female voice replied. "What did you hear?"
"Something hitting the side of the hut." Said the man as he ran outside with his staff. "Keep Kagome inside!"
Kagome came too in time to hear this. "What?" She said groggily, "Inside where?" The man looked at her strangely.
"Why would I tell you the location of my daughter? You're trying to attack us! Be you a demon?"
"N-no. No demon. Human. Kagome Higurashi. I'm searching for my daughter, Nanura. Have you seen her? She's got brown hair and green eyes."
"Kagome Higurashi? Is that you? Sango! Come out here! Bring Kago!' He yelled.
"Sango? Are you serious?" Sudden realization hit Kagome like a ton of bricks (That would hurt…don't ya think?). "Mir…Miroku?"
"The one and only. My dear Kagome! You're in such a state of undress" Miroku smiled at her and she pulled her shirt down. "I'm sure Sango has an extra Kimono you could wear. I'll ask her." Sango came outside with a teenage girl in tow.
"Yes, my love?" Sango asked.
"Do you have anything our dear Kagome can wear?" Miroku asked.
"Isn't what she's wearing enough?" Sango looked confused.
"Eheh…not that Kagome. This Kagome. The one we named our daughter after." He pointed at the slightly rumpled adult Kagome.
"Kagome!? Oh, it's so good to see you! It's been 15 years! Sure I have an extra kimono. Let's go get you dressed. Come along, Kago." Sango hugged Kagome and rushed everyone inside.
Once Kagome was dressed, she sat in the main room with everyone else. "Does…InuYasha still live around here?"
"Yes. In fact, he lives just down the road. About 5 huts down. He used the jewel to turn human just after you left so he looks about 33-34 years old. Just like the rest of us." Miroku said bluntly.
"Is he home right now?" Kagome wrung her hands.
"He went out earlier but he should be home by now. I'll take you to his hut and leave you there to 'discuss' whatever you need to." Miroku volunteered.
Kagome stood up quickly. "Good! Let's go! We're wasting precious time!" She grabbed Miroku and dragged him out of the house. Sango and Kago looked at each other and sweat dropped.
Miroku walked Kagome to InuYasha's hut. A fire was lit inside and she could hear voices,
"Thanks Miroku. I'll be okay on my own. Sounds like he has company. Female company." Suddenly she grabbed his arm. "He…doesn't have a wife or kids does he?"
"No. He's as single as ever. Doesn't even look twice at the village girls. There's something wrong with him. I have to go now. Bye." With that he walked off towards his own hut.
'Typical Miroku' Kagome thought. She stood in front of the door and knocked. "InuYasha? You in there?" She called.
"Sango? Is that you? Now…isn't a good time. Could you come back later?" InuYasha called back.
Tears flooded Kagome's eyes. "F-fine. I'll leave. I was just looking for my daughter."
"Is Kagome missing!?" InuYasha opened the door, expecting to see Sango. Instead he saw the face that had haunted him for 15 years.
He looked handsome. "I-Inu…Yasha…"
"Kagome."
"InuYasha!" She threw herself into his arms. He turned her face up to his and kissed her with all the passion he had pent up over the last 15 years. Kagome was brought to her knees. InuYasha followed.
"I REALLY don't want to see this you guys." Said an annoyed voice in the corner.
Kagome broke away from him. "Huhn?" She looked over InuYasha's shoulder at Nanura in her demon form. She was the spitting image of her father when he was a demon. "Nanura! You are grounded young lady! I told you to stay out of the well house! Ugh! AND I told you to get rid of those clothes."
"Go easy on the girl. She's been through a lot." InuYasha pleaded.
"That headband I always wore. It was to keep me from going demon, wasn't it?" Nanura asked lightly.
"Yes. It suppressed your demon blood so that you could lead a semi-normal life. I never meant to be so harsh. I was just worried about you. Wake up at 4am to find your daughter gone and see how you react. I nearly blew up the downstairs are in my rage. It was actually kind of funny!" Kagome started laughing, so did InuYasha. Nanura just sat silently, glaring at her mom.
"What's wrong, Nani?" Kagome asked after she stopped laughing. "You look mad."
"You've always gotten mad at me. You seem to love yelling at me and pushing me too far. It's just too much. You expect too much from me. I'm not the perfect daughter you always thought me to be. That's why I ran off. You're always forcing me to do things I don't like, too join clubs I don't like. Those stuck-up kids in the honor societies are rude and obnoxious! I hate them all. My friends are the kids who are worse off. The bikers and the punks." Nanura said with a shaking voice.
"Oh, my poor daughter!" Kagome rushed over and threw her arms around Nanura. "I'm so sorry! I never meant to hurt you, I just wanted you to do good in school since I hadn't. All my adventuring had left little or no time for school. You've probably hated me for so long!" Kagome started crying and InuYasha put a hand on her shoulder.
"No, she doesn't. She never rebelled against you did she?" He said calmly.
"No." Kagome whispered.
"Then she loved you so much that she didn't want to hurt you by rebelling. No matter how much damage it did to her emotionally and mentally."
"D-damage? Oh, I'm so sorry my little Nanura! Can you ever forgive me? I'm afraid I lost my adventurous side when I left the past. This reunion with my love, your father, has given it back, I hope." She turned to InuYasha. "You turned human I see."
"Yes. I was…torn apart when you left. I turned human so that if you ever came back I would be your age. Now I'm 34." InuYasha explained. "Sort of."
"That's so romantic!" Nanura squealed.
Kagome and InuYasha laughed. "Hey, InuYasha…is Shippô still around?"
"Oh, yeah. He's looks about 17 now. Cute little guy. Very independent though. Lives with me. He should be home by now." InuYasha rattled off.
Just then, the door flew open and Shippô walked in. He was tall and slender. One of his fox ears twitched slightly as he gazed at Nanura. He had long, bushy, blonde hair and an equally long, bushy, and blonde tail. He was wearing a strange sort of blue and green gi. (Those things the young Shippô wears on the show?)
"You look like you've never changed your clothes since I left, Shippô." Kagome laughed.
"Hey! Stop insulting me! Just who are you anyways?" Shippô puffed out his chest. "And who, pray tell, is that fascinating creature?" Shippô pointed at Nanura. She blushed.
"Too much time in Miroku's company." Whispered InuYasha. Kagome chuckled.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi and this is my daughter, Nanura Higurashi." Kagome said formally.
"Ka-Kagome? Is it really you? Oh! I've missed you!" Shippô hugged Kagome. "I've always thought of you as a mom to me and, boy, did I miss you!"
"She just happens to be my real mom, Shippô. Pleased to meet you. As my mom said, my name is Nanura." She shook his hand fiercely.
"Energetic little lass." Shippô commented. For this, he got a hiking book embedded in his skull.
"I'm no 'little lass'! I'm nearly 15 and very independent too, thank you!" Nanura yelled as she was pounded his brain to a pulp.
"Ow! No need for violence! I hear you. I happen to be nearly 18 myself. A mere 3 years difference." He smiled at her. She put her foot down and blushed again. He was so cute!
"Eheh…well…yeah…" She scratched her head and tried not to look so flustered.
Sudden realization hit Shippô. " You look exactly like InuYasha used to when he was a demon! Are you two related?"
"He's my dad!" Nanura said with pride.
Shippô's mouth dropped open. "I'll leave you two teenagers alone to talk. Kagome, can I talk to you outside?" InuYasha said.
"Sure." Kagome followed him outside.
Nanura looked at Shippô. "You hungry?"
"Yeah." He said, "You have food?"
"Yeah." She pulled out a package of instant ramen. "It's just ramen though."
"RAMEN!" Shippô screamed, "I LOVE RAMEN!!"
InuYasha's nose twitched. He heard the word ramen. His mouth started watering. He wanted to run to the ramen but what he had to say to Kagome was more important. The ramen would have to wait.
^-0 Don't you just love cliffhangers? What on earth could InuYasha need to tell Kagome? (Folds arms and pouts) And I won't update until I get at least 10 reviews…I'm a very picky person.
