A/N: You might fin me starting a chapter with a song-I love using them to set the mood in certain areas of a story!
Chapter 3
"No wounds...my clothes are in tact...what happened to Naraku?! ....wait...where....that's right- I was dead..." the silver blurred through the forest, dust wrestling from his newly formed figure and clothing, then his large form burst into hut, where the familiar scented occupants gazed up in horror at the ghostly figure's ember eyes.
Miroku jumped back beside an already standing Sango who looked over the figure in tears and disbelief. "WHO ARE YOU! What do you want!" Miroku protected his family readily as his anger and disgust boiled over. Sango cradled the baby in her arms tightly, not believing her eyes when they showed her Inuyasha's form.
"Calm down Miroku...It's me...or have I been gone so long that you have forgotten..." Inuyasha tokk another tired step inside the hut-annoyed at the questions. "Impossible! Inuyasha has been dead for a year now! HOW DARE YOU CLAIM TO BE HIM!" Sango yelled in anger, tears almost blinding her until they began to run down her face uncontrollably. Inuyasha sighed, almost ready to try and prove himself when he felt a choking grasp around his neck, hearing the small sobs of a kitsune. "INUYASHA! It really is YOU! I KNEW I COULD SMELL YOU!" Shippo sobbed in a shky voice through his tears, unwilling to loosen the hanyou for even a moment.
"Shippo! Get away from him! Inuyasha is dead!" Miroku called angrily to the resistant kitsune. "NO! This is Inuyasha-I would never forget his scent! He has come back!" Kirara nudged his red pant leg, confirming Shippo's claims. "Inuyasha..." Miroku sighed, reverting to his soft smile as Sango sobbed happily in the background. "But how..." "I don't know...now-tell me what has happened-you said I've been dead a year..." Inuyasha sat around the small fire, looking at the small child held within Sango's arms. "If my nose isn't wrong- he's yours?" Miroku smiled, glancing at Sango. "Hai, this is Kasaku...our son..."
Inuyasha stared into the flames. Noticing how unchanged they seemed. Sango had more of a maternal scent and disposition, as did Miroku have more of a fatherly, but other than that they seemed the same. He noticed all the familiar faces in the glowing hut-all but one. "Miroku-where is Kagome?" Inuyasha asked innocently enough. Miroku and Sango gave a glance to each other, flashing a look Inuyasha couldn't quite read before Miroku sighed. "Kagome is out...Inuyasha-she isn't the same as she once was...I'm afraid you wouldn't even recognize her anymore..." Inuyasha's ears layed back as he listened to Miroku's almost regretful tone of voice. "What are you saying monk?" Inuyasha's concerns grew as Sango lifted her eyes. "Kagome changed almost immediately after your death. She is training her miko powers under Keade-she has become distant and cold." Miroku sighed at the true statement. "Hai, I believe she is bitter, she hasn't been able to accept your death-the fact that you left her alone was too much for her to bare..." Miroku tried to soften the blunt statement but it hit Inuyasha with the same impact.
"Kagome...But I can't believe that Kagome has become any kind of person like that..." Inuyasha tried to grasp Kagome as being a bitter person-but he couldn't even comprehend his sweet, caring Kagome as such. "Where is she right now?" Miroku sighed solemnly. "She is out-hunting demons." "Kagome is hunting demons-at night-ALONE!?" Sango looked to the side reluctantly. "She isn't alone...Kouga is hunting with her." Inuyasha's head raced. 'She is with Kouga? How coul she betray me like that...even in death!'
Miroku read his mind and eased his fears. "Don't worry Inuyasha, Kouga is mated to Ayame now-they have a pup of their own. Kouga is merely looking out for Kagome-she can be wreckless in her hunts and we all fear for her..." Miroku's voice trailed as Inuyasha gave an inward sigh of relief.
Later that night, Miroku and Sango had disappeared into another room, the baby was asleep in a room with Shippo and Kirara as Inuyasha was leaving the hut to take up his usual space in a tree.
"Where is Tetsusaiga?! My rosary is gone!?" Inuyasha looked over his garments-searching for the missing articles. "Kagome has them, she has been protecting Tetsusaiga from Sesshomaru since your death, and the rosary she wears on her wrist-we don't ask why..." From the shadows, Sango came into the main room and gave Inuyasha a soft smile, withholding tears as she gave him a blanket. "Inuyasha...I know you can bring back the old Kagome...we miss her as much as we've missed you. Sometimes, when she is with Shippo or the village children-I've watched her slip back into her kind smile, her eyes soften as she comforts Shippo and her voice once again becomes the caring words of our old friend.She just needs time to heal Inuyasha...help her..." Sango gave her friend a smile, then disappeared into the shadows.
Inuyasha took to his tree, Sango's words replaying in his head. "Time to heal...Kagome...I'm sorry-I-I didn't mean to leave you alone..." Inuyasha's head bowed, the darkness pulling him into a quick sleep.
*******
The next day began early, just as the sun was rising, screams could be heard from the other side of the village-people ran screaming about a demon attack, as a large demon's figure could be seen-searching for the jewel. Just as Inuyasha was about to defend the villagers-Miroku stopped him with a swift command. "Wait Inuyasha, Kagome can handle this- If you reveal yourself now, she may slay you without a second thought." The words cut into Inuyasha-tugging at him as he lifted his eyes to see a two familiar figures coming for the demon with great speed. The smaller one-he recognized immediately as Kohaku. He was told last night that Kagome had saved Kohaku with her healing miko energies, retrieving the jewel shard from his back.
The larger form he couldn't believe. Hai, it was his Kagome-but she had change considerably. Her eyes held a deep well of cold behind the brown hues-almost like Sesshomaru's eyes. Her hair had grown from her shoulders to her midwaist, and was held back in a tight braid. Her outfit was more of a shock-she wore something like a youkai exterminator, tight black two-piece, the top was short and had long tight sleeves that cuffed off at her fingers, his rosary wrapped on her wrist. Two sword were strapped at her side, one was Tetsusaiga, the other her own blade. She notched an arrow from her quiver, and shot with amazing speed and accuracy, piercing the demons large from and slowing it down with a large amount of miko energy.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha realized that he really did barely recognize her-something was off about her countenance-she held a bitterness in her eyes that he couldn't place. Kohaku fell back, protecting the villagers, as Kagome ran around the front of the demon. In his mind, Inuyasha was confused by the look that crossed Kagome's face. For an instant-she held a small smirk-pleasure for killing this demon and it hardly suited his Kagome. But the pleasure faded quickly enough, as her stoic feauture returned.
She grabbed the second blade, pulling it out as she jumped straight up at the demon. Her miko energy channeled into the special sword, which seemed to be inscribed with several symbols up and down the blade. She made a clean cut through the demons neck-severing the head and then gracefully falling back to the earth. Her blade's miko energies dissolved as she returned it to it's sheath. Kaede came up to her as Inuyasha watched from a distance in awe. His heart racing as he watched. 'Kagome...what has happened to you-I...I never imagined that you would..." Inuyasha cringed-he had forced his Kagome to make something of herself that he wished she hadn't-it was all his fault...but he was going to make it right...
Villagers worked on moving the remains as Kagome walked ever-closer to Inuyasha's tree, a small smile crossing her face, but it seemed forced as she greeted her friends. Shippo ran up to Kagome, grasping her neck as she held on to him tightly. "It's alright Shippo-I'm fine.."
