Last Time:
"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you that hard!" Kagome said and ran over to him, helping him up. "Jeez. I'm sorry!" Kagome said and made a very big mistake. She hugged him...
Dearest Cousins- Chapter 2
POOF!
Kagome lifted up the cat that was in the place of where Kyo once was.
"Ummm... Kyo?" Kagome asked the cat.
"Whadda you want!" The cat answered.
"You... you turned into a cat..." Kagome said with wide eyes.
"Yea, so? You gunna scream?"
"YOU'RE SO CUTE!" Kagome screamed and hugged him tighter. "Why didn't you tell me you can turn into a cat! That's so adorable!"
Kyo's cat form blushed.
"Kagome! There's something you should know about our family!" Shigure said.
"So do you two turn into animals too?" Kagome asked and smiled evilly.
"Miss Honda... I don't like the look your cousin is making." Yuki said and stepped away.
"Aw come on! I wanna see! I wont tell!" Kagome said and hugged Yuki.
"Umm.. Kagome? Please calm down." Tohru said and sweat dropped.
"A MOUSE! SO CUTE!" She shrieked.
"Miss Kagome. You're crushing me." Yuki said hoarsely from the bone crushing hug.
"Don't I get a hug?" Shigure whined.
"Hugs all around!" Kagome giggled and hugged Shigure.
"You're a... a... a... DOG! AWESOME!"
"Umm... Everyone... Lets go inside." Tohru said pushing Kagome into the house.
"Let me explain. The Sohma family is cursed so some of us transform into an animal of the Chinese zodiac when we're hugged by a member of the opposite sex."
"But the cat isn't part of the zodiac." Kagome said picking up Kyo and hugging him tight.
"Yes well the 12 animals plus the cat." Shigure explained. Kagome smiled.
"Good because I love cats! Cats are the best!"
"THEY ARE NOT KAGOME!" A voice yelled.
"Oh no... he's here..." Kagome sighed. Just then someone bursted through the door. He had silver hair down to his lower back with golden eyes and two triangular dog ears on the top of his head. He was wearing black baggy jeans and a red muscle shirt.
"InuYasha... What are you doing here?" Kagome asked annoyed.
"I'm doing what I said wench! I told you I'd track you down if you weren't at the hotel room!"
"Umm... Are you guys dating?" Tohru asked from behind Kagome.
That earned a blush from both teens.
"NO WAY! WHO'D WANNA DATE A WENCH LIKE HER! SHE ALWAYS STARTS FIGHTS WITH ME!" InuYasha yelled pointing to Kagome.
"WELL MAYBE IF YOU WERENT SUCH A JACKASS, WE WOULDNT ARGUE!"
"SHUT UP YOU WENCH!"
"IS THAT ALL YOU EVER CALL ME, YOU STUBBORN ASS!"
"NO! I CAN CALL YOU BITCH, SLUT, WHORE... THE LIST GOES ON!"
"WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE SUCH A JERK!"
"BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU DAMMIT!" Then there was silence.
"Y-you were... worried... about me?" Kagome said staring at him wide eyed.
"No! I mean... I was... and... Miroku and Sango were too..." InuYasha stumbled and blushed.
"AW! Thanks InuYasha!" Kagome giggled and rubbed his ears.
"K-Kagome! W-what are you doing!"
"Oh stop! You like it when I rub your-"
"Kagome, I don't think it's good to discuss what you and InuYasha do in private while in the public of a beautiful woman such as this." A guy said grabbing Tohru's hands and getting down on one knee. He had black hair tied into a rat-tail at the base of his neck and navy eyes. He was wearing dark blue baggy jeans and a purple button up shirt over a white wife beater.
"AAH! I WASNT GUNNA SAY THAT YOU DAMN PERVERT!" Kagome screeched.
"YOU LECHER! I TURN MY BACK FOR A SECOND AND YOU'RE GONE LIKE THE WIND!" A girl Kagome's age said and whacked the guy in the head. She had dark brown, almost black, hair down to her waist and medium brown eyes with magenta eye shadow. She was wearing tight blue faded jeans like Kagome and a dark blue thick strapped tank top.
"I'm sorry my love! But I heard Kagome and InuYasha fighting so I decided to stop them!"
"LIKE HELL YOU DID!"
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Kagome yelled.
The there was a popping noise and three naked men stood in front of everyone.
"GAH!" Tohru screamed and turned around.
"SHIT!" Miroku and InuYasha yelled at the same time and turned around also.
"Wow..." Sango said staring at the three guys.
"This is... the third time... I've seen a naked guy..." Kagome said with wide eyes looking at them.
"What was your first and second?" Tohru asked with her eyes covered.
"The first was when I walked in on InuYasha in the shower and the second was when InuYasha-" Kagome said but was cut off by InuYasha's hand.
"Ok Kagome! They don't need to know that!"
"What were you two lovers doing?" Miroku said hinting at something perverted.
"Nothing that's going through your head." InuYasha said.
"Well actually it was kinda sad. InuYasha was-" She was once again cut off by InuYasha's hand.
"Enough Kagome!"
"Ok! Ok!" During this time, Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure got dressed.
"So... lovely Kagome, who are your friends?" Shigure asked.
"Hey! Who are you to call Kagome that!" InuYasha growled.
"Shut up, InuYasha." Kagome sighed.
"Ok. This is my best friend Sango, InuYasha, and Miroku. You guys, this is my cousin Tohru and her roommates, Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure Sohma." Kagome said pointing at each of them.
"Ah! The lovely mistress Tohru! I never dreamed you would be this stunning!" Miroku said clasping her hands in his once again.
"Umm.. T-Thank you..." Tohru blushed. Kyo and Yuki glared at Miroku and Kagome got pissed.
"I was wonder if you would do me the honors of bearing my children?" He asked seriously. Tohru turned bright red and hell was unleashed. (a/n: coughKAGOMEcough)
"MIROKU! I'LL KILL YOU! I SAID NOT TO TOUCH MY COUSIN YOU GOD DAMN PERVERT!" Kagome said tackling him to the ground and started beating him to death.
"I'M SORRY KAGOME! I DIDNT MEAN IT!" Miroku cried out in pain. InuYasha shook his head and Sango glared at Miroku.
"Kagome, save some for me. I want a turn at killing him." Sango said in a deadly tone.
"Go right ahead!" Kagome said and kicked Miroku where the sun don't shine.
"Ouch." He wheezed and Sango dragged him outside to continue his beatings.
"NO! PLEASE! IT DOESNT BEND THAT WAY! NO, MY LOVE! DONT!"
"Stupid pervert hitting on my cousin. I should kill him. Take my guitar and beat him over the head with it." Kagome muttered. Tohru was standing where Miroku had just held her hands. Everyone else was in shock.
Kagome sighed. "I'm sorry Tohru. He's like that. Miroku's just too perverted for his own good. But we gotta leave now. After seeing us and how crazy we are, I don't think you'd be able to put up with us." Kagome laughed slightly.
"Nonsense! This will make everything much more interesting! Besides, we want our little flower happy!" Shigure said happily. "And we'll have two more pretty girls under our roof!"
"Oh no... Another Miroku..." InuYasha said with slit eyes.
"Not necessarily. Shigure is in a 'look, don't touch' category. But I do believe your friend is in the 'touch' section." Yuki said.
"Yea. We need to keep a leash on him when we go to the mall." InuYasha sighed.
"That's just sad. The guy's got no self control." Kyo said from the couch.
"If I recall Kyo, you couldn't control your temper and ended up hurting Tohru. And then there was that time-"
"WHAT! HE HURT TOHRU! I'LL KILL HIM!" Kagome yelled trying to attack Kyo. InuYasha held her around the waist and hugged her tight so she wouldn't move.
"Kagome! Calm down!"
"NO! HE HURT HER! He... he hurt the only one who..." Kagome started and teared.
"I'm ok, Kagome! Really! See? I'm fine!" Tohru said trying to calm her down.
Kagome stopped struggling and slipped out of InuYasha's grip.
"I'm gunna go take a walk. I haven't been here in a while so I wanna see if things have changed." Kagome said quietly and walked out.
"Wench, I'm coming wi-"
"No." Kagome said with venom. "I'm going alone. And anyway... I have somewhere... to visit..." She said and looked at them.
She walked out the door and Sango and Miroku came in. They immediately sensed the tension in the room and knew what was up.
"Tell me..." Tohru said and looked up at the trio. "What happened to my cousin? What did she go through?"
The three turned serious.
"It's... it's not a very good story." Sango said looking angry.
"We only know part of it. The truth is... we found Kagome like you'd find a stray dog."
"What... what happened? Please..."
"I'll tell you on one condition. You mustn't tell Kagome we told you." Tohru nodded and Sango told her.
Flashback to 5 Years Ago
"Where are we going to find a guitarist on such short notice?" An 11 year old Sango asked.
"Yes. We wont be able to have a good band unless we have a co-singer and co-guitarist for InuYasha." A 12 year old Miroku said.
"Keh. We're fine the way we are!" A 12 year old InuYasha said.
"No we aren't! And I'd prefer if we get a girl!" Sango pouted.
"Hey! Do you hear that?" InuYasha asked.
"No. We don't have your demon hearing."
"It sounds like screaming!" InuYasha yelled and ran towards it.
"STOP IT! PLEASE!"
They came to an alley where a bunch of guys were surrounding something.
"You're a pretty little thing. First we'll torture you then I'll have some fun." The guy dubbed leader chuckled.
"No... stop it... go away..."
They all laughed at her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed and shot a blue light from her hand.
"SHIT! She's a reincarnation of a sacred priestess! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" The guys ran off and the person fell to the floor singing to herself quietly.
"Sad, small, sweet, so delicate
We used to be this dying breed
I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this."
"She's singing." Sango whispered.
"You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window...
I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about...
Who's to say you'll have to go
Well say you'll have to go
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on
Sad, small, sure in porcelain
You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck
I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this
Who's to say you'll have to go
Well say you'll have to go
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on."
"She sings so sadly." Miroku whispered trying to listen. InuYasha and Sango nodded.
"I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about...
Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle." Her voice started breaking at the end and she went into sobbing.
"Hey." Her head shot up and looked up at InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku. "Are you ok?"
"Fine. Just peachy."
"Why are you out here?" Sango asked and kneeled next to her.
"It's none of your business. Just go away."
"No. We cant just leave you here." Miroku said.
"Yes you can. Go or I'll use force to make you leave." She whispered.
"Purify us. We don't care. But we aren't leaving you here." InuYasha said picking her up bridal style and carrying her away.
"LET ME GO! PUT ME DOWN! DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW THAT BAD! MY MOM AND BROTHER DIED IN A CAR CRASH OK! SO I CAME HERE! ARE YOU HAPPY! NOW PUT ME DOWN!"
"No. You'll live with either Sango or me and my brother."
"What about me?" Miroku asked.
"You live with us Miroku and besides, if you did live alone I wouldn't trust you with her."
"Let go... please... Just leave me to die... I want to see them again... I'm alone... I don't want to be alone anymore..."
"You're not. Now you have us. My name is Sango, this is Miroku, and the one who's carrying you is InuYasha."
END FLASHBACK
"It was sad... She was broken and alone inside and out." Sango said looking at the door.
"Wait, you said that she shot a blue light out of her hand and she's a reincarnation of a priestess?" Yuki asked.
"Yea. She can purify things and can heal injuries. But sometimes she doesn't want them to heal." Miroku said.
"How can something like that exist?" Kyo asked.
"It does. It's like InuYasha is a half demon and you guys have your curse. I could tell from when you guys uhh.. 'poofed'." Sango said.
"I wonder where Kagome went." InuYasha sighed.
"Wait... you said her name." Shigure said confused.
"Yea, what of it?"
"So far I've heard you only yell her name and call her a wench."
"Don't let it fool you. InuYasha has a thing for Kagome." Miroku said. "He told me a year after we met her."
"I DID NOT, LECHER!"
"I know where she went. I'll be back later, ok Shigure?" Tohru said running for her coat.
"Ok, Flower! Be safe!"
"Wait... I'm going with you." InuYasha said.
"Umm.. alright. Miroku and Sango can stay here then. We'll be back soon!"
"Bring Kagome back, InuYasha!"
"This is it... This is where they were buried..." Kagome said and walked over to two headstones that held her brother and mother's ashes.
"Hey Sota. What's up? You know... I met someone I think you'd like. His name is InuYasha. He's a half dog demon. You probably would consider him your role model. He's strong, stubborn like me, nice when he wants to be, and he's... cute... He has dog ears too. Cool right?"
She was talking to the grave and was getting no answer so she continued.
"I miss you baby bro. I really want you to come back to me. But I guess you're happier. Can't say the same for me. But I'm getting by. See ya around kiddo! I'll never forget you and you'll never forget me! Love ya!" Kagome kissed her fingers and touched the headstone with them. Then she went to the one right next to it.
"Hey Mom. I know... You're probably worried sick. But I'm eating ok and I'm safe. Sango, Miroku, and InuYasha are taking good care of me. And before you say anything, InuYasha is just a friend. I'm sorry I didn't visit sooner. I guess... I guess I was scared. But I'm fine. I'm part of a band and I'm going back to a public school for this year. The private tutoring was ok for the past few years. But I need to interact with people my age. That's probably why you always made me go to school, right?"
Again, she received no answer and kept speaking.
"I always was wondering when you'd come back home to me with Sota. But... you're not. Not ever. It's pretty stupid of me to wish that though, huh? I miss you so much. I don't know how long I'll be able to last." Kagome leaned her head against the stone that held her mother's name and whispered as if someone was holding her and listening to every word.
"I miss you! I want you to come back! Please... for me! You and Sota come back to me! It's not right! You just left me here! I was alone... I need you guys here! With me! There are so many things you missed and you'll never get to see! You missed the first show I sang at! You missed the crowd cheering for me and everyone! You'll never see me go out on my first date because I never had it yet! You'll never see me get married! You wont be next to me when I have my children! Your grandchildren! You aren't here for me when I cry!" She yelled and hugged the stones for comfort as tears spilled down her face.
"This is it. This is the only cemetery in the whole city. She's gotta be here." Tohru whispered.
"Look! There she is!"
When they got close they heard her crying and talking.
"Shh."
"You'll never scold me for getting a bad grade. You'll never tell me to do chores. You'll never yell at me for staying out too late! You'll never tease me about when I get my first kiss! You wont be there for me when I have a problem! You wont give me advice! You aren't there to comfort me when I'm upset! You aren't gunna be able to watch me while I get older! You wont see my children get older! You're missing out on everything! And I am too!"
"She's crying so much..." Tohru said starting to tear.
"I'll never be able to see Sota graduate High School! Or Elementary School for that matter! He'll never get to go to college like you told him too! He wont get to be a Soccer Player like he wanted! He didn't even get to play in his first Soccer Tournament with his team! Please come back! I miss your smiles! I miss your laughs! Please! I need you guys!"
She choked and started hitting the stones. Rain was drizzling lightly.
"IT ISNT FAIR! I LOVED YOU GUYS! YOU WERE ALL I HAD! AND I NEVER TOOK ANYTHING FOR GRANTED! I DID WHAT YOU TOLD ME AND I ALWAYS SPENT TIME WITH YOU GUYS! THAT'S WHY I NEVER HAD ANY FRIENDS! I WAS ALWAYS WITH YOU GUYS! SO WHEN YOU BOTH DIED, I DID TOO!"
She stopped as the rain started to pour down.
"I'm still here... in a body... But I'm empty inside. My heart is closed off to everyone. And my mind... my mind keeps repeating that it's MY fault you died. And honestly... it is... It's all my fault. And if it wasn't for me, you'd both still be here... I'm sorry... I'm SO sorry!"
The rain soaked her and she stood up slowly.
"Mommy... you chose to protect one of your children... and you left the other alone in the world without any consolation... But I know it isn't your fault... It's mine... ALL MINE! Goodbye Mom, Sota. I love you two more than air... more than life itself."
Kagome wrapped her arms around her soaked form and walked down the road back to the house she'd be staying.
Me: Ok.. If you aren't crying... then WOW! Because I am hysterical... And my eye liner and eye shadow is dripping everywhere... And my mom keeps asking, "What the fuck happened? Why are you crying!"
