Disclaimer: The court, thus, dis-claimer, has dismissed my claim to Inuyasha and co. I don't own any of the songs used in this fanfic.
Hello again! Well, I don't really have anything to say. My one-shot has gotten two reviews so far. I haven't even gotten one signed review for this story yet. Rolls eyes. Ah well, I guess people are just more attracted to Sesh/Rin one-shots then Inu/Kag stories. :
Wow! I'm almost done with this story. I've already started several other ones…I can't wait to work some more on them. Well…read on!
Welcome Home, We Missed You.
By: Pwalefriend.
Past, Soon To Be The Present…Like in a couple paragraphs.
Mario was chanting something; no one could really make out what he was saying. It almost sounded like a wordless howl, mixed into it were the colors of age and time. It grew deep and dark at some points, bright and merry at others. The small group of humans and demons, of mortals and immortals found themselves passing threw something that had no matter, had no life, yet all had seen, heard, tasted and felt all life, all things from the before the beginning to the end of the end and beyond. Then, as one, almost as if they were all possessed, they jumped into the well. As soon as Inuyasha saw the familiar blue light around him, he broke the chain. He looked around, smiling. 'I'm going to get there on time.' He thought. 'Wench, if you don't wait just a little while longer I'm gonna make you wish you'd never been born! Not after all the pain I've gone through.'
After a couple seconds they were through the well. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru jumped out, Sesshomaru carrying Rin and Shippo. Kirara transformed in the well, and she leaped out with Miroku and Sango, Mario followed behind them, jumping out of the well like Jenny.
"Okay…now, how are we getting there?" Mario asked the air, rubbing his hands together expectantly. Everyone groaned.
"You idiot." Sesshomaru sighed.
"Um…Inuyasha, you wouldn't happen to know the way to her school, now would you?" Mario asked in a quiet voice.
"I'm going to kill you." Inuyasha said.
"Well…" Said a new voice. "If I don't get you lot there soon, then Jenny just might beat you too it." They all turned around to see a girl dressed in black and purple. Sesshomaru and Mario groaned, and Al winked at them. "Hola, boys." She said.
"What are you doing here?" Mario asked her, while Sesshomaru turned away, pointedly ignoring Al.
"Jenny sent me to pick you guys up. Said that is you'se wasn't there by the second half she was going to gut me like a fish, leave me in the sun to dry, eat me, then kill me. And then she was going to hunt me down in the afterlife and torture me till my soul gave out." Al pulled them all out of the well house and they began to run down the steps and to her car.
"I'M DRIVING, YOU CRAZY BAT!" Mario shouted to Al. Al didn't take any offense; all she did was nod and toss him the keys. They all got in the car, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru helping their companions, and Miroku, Sango and Shippo knew about cars from Kagome's explanations about some things in her time. It took them all about three minutes to get to Kagome's school.
Meanwhile, At Kagome's School…Well, actually, rewind a little bit.
Everyone got off the stage and Al left at a run. The DJ nodded to Kagome and turned on the music track that she wanted. She took a deep breath before beginning to sing. She looked out at the sea of faces before her, but she only saw Inuyasha's golden eyes. They stared back at her, a hidden emotion deep within them, yet it burned like lava oozing from the earth…it burned her like wild fire. It was all she could do not to scream…it was all she could do to have the courage to sing what she was about to sing.
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
'Journey's end…' Kagome thought. 'It's over now…our journey has come to an end…
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Kagome began to cry.
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Yet, even through her tears, she found the strength to smile. She smiled for the entire world to see…she smiled for Inuyasha…but most of all, for some strange reason, she found that she was smiling for Kikyo.
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see?
On the horizon?
Why do those white gulls call?
By now the entire room was dead silent, people barely dared to even breathe. They could all sense that this was no ordinary song, and that this was no song that they could dance to.
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home
Dawn will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
The gym doors swung open, and a group of people came in. From among them, a new voice suddenly rang out in the now silent hall. It was clear and masculine, and it was deep and husky at the same time. The voice was overflowing with emotion.
"Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again…"
Kagome gasped. She knew that voice, she had dreamed of the barer of the voice ever since they had been separated. Her microphone clattered to her feet, its contact with the stage floor seemed to echo around the room like a thunderbolt.
"Inuyasha!" She shouted.
"Kagome!" He shouted back at her.
Inuyasha threw himself over the heads of the crowd and at Kagome. He landed in front of her and just stood there for a moment. The boy and the girl stared at each other; they stared at each other's eyes, at each other's bodies, at anything that their eyes could reach. Then Inuyasha threw himself onto Kagome, his body completely covering hers in its warmth as he sent them flying across the stage, hugging her to him for all he was worth. They were both laughing and crying at the same time.
Jenny grinned, turned on the camera, and then pulled the ropes, closing the curtains. Next to her, Blake was zooming in on the couple with the video camera he had while KK was busy helping Sango and Miroku tie; blind fold and gag Al, Rin and Shippo. Then, behind her, Jenny felt a presence. She gasped and turned around, straight into Sesshomaru's hugs and kisses.
"…Kagome…Kagome…Kagome…" Inuyasha was saying her name over and over and over, he couldn't make himself stop. He was staring at the girl that was lying underneath him. She was staring up at him with such wonder and warmth that Inuyasha couldn't stand to look away, even the thought of another person so much as looking at her made him angry. He wanted her…Inuyasha remembered his vow to himself, and was about to tell her when he felt someone's lips against his own. Inuyasha felt surprise, shock and pleasure wash threw his body all at once when Kagome's lips touched his own. After a minute of shock Inuyasha straddled her waist, never breaking the kiss and made it deeper. He brushed his lip against her bottom lip, wanting entrance. She happily relented and he let his tongue explore all the corners of her mouth. His hands traveled up and down her body, exploring all the parts of her he could reach. He pressed against her with his body, grinding them both into the stage. Kagome's hands came up and tangled themselves in his silver hair, and she pulled his neck towards her, massaging it with her fingertips at the same time.
It was five minutes until Jenny and Sesshomaru stopped making out, and another ten for Kagome and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha finally pulled back and looked into Kagome's cobalt eyes. They glowed back at him with such passion and love that he no longer felt any fear that she would reject him
"Kagome…" He said.
"Yeah?" She asked him, even though she already knew what he was going to say. Kagome was every bit as happy and fearless as he was.
"I love you." Inuyasha smiled at her. Kagome smiled back.
"Guess what?" Kagome said.
"What?"
Kagome leaned up slightly so that she could whisper in his ear as if it was little childish secret that you weren't aloud to tell the adults. "I love you, Inuyasha." Inuyasha smiled again, and then he did something that he couldn't remember ever doing before…
Inuyasha laughed.
He laughed long and hard, a laugh of happiness, a laugh of joy, a laugh of love. A laugh that seemed to leave every person and every thing in the world happier, better and brighter then ever before. Then he leaned down and kissed his beloved once again. Inuyasha, the hanyou, the filthy half-breed, was home again. Across the stage, Jenny smiled a little sadly.
"Welcome home, my little brother." She whispered. "We all missed you while you were away. It's good to have you home, safe and sound." Then Jenny turned to Blake. Blake looked at Jenny, his mouth open.
"I think that we could get good money for this tape! Some teenage romance-starved girls would kill to get their paws on it!" He told her. She just shook her head.
"You know the deal." She told him. "Stick to it." She looked back across the stage again.
"Did you miss him?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Which one?" She asked lightly. Sesshomaru didn't speak for a moment.
"Do you miss Oni?" He asked her. Jenny turned sharply and looked at him.
"Oni is dead." She reminded him. "He became a demon, remember?"
"You might be surprised…" Sesshomaru said softly. "H is here."
"WHAT!" Jenny hissed. Then she turned to find that horrid man there, and he was grinning at her in a smug sort of way.
"Oh, dear god." KK muttered.
"I don't like the looks of this." Jenny said.
Across the stage, completely oblivious to their surroundings, Kagome and Inuyasha were still kissing desperately.
"Oh, let's not disturb them." Jenny said shrugging, then she looked over to see what Sango and Miroku were up to. The two humans were sitting dog-style, staring at Inuyasha and Kagome with smug grins etched deeply on their faces. Every once and awhile they muttered things like, "I knew it."
Well, there's the end of that chapter! I wonder what will happen! Hmmm…
Anyway, I know that it was a short chapter, and I'm sorry, but it's a good one, it's the…you know, plot renewal chapter, I suppose you could call it…and it's not too short…I don't think…
I'm sorry for ending the chapter so horribly. When I went back to see if I could take away some parts to make it better I realized that it actually sounded much better as an ending then a beginning. It sounded horrible as a beginning, and you probably wouldn't even remember what was going on, let alone understand it. If any thing is confusing (and I know some of it is) then you are welcome to ask me any questions. Especially about the Guardians. I think that I first cam up with them in second grade, but this is the first time I've ever written anything about them. See, they've been in my head for so long that I really just think that everyone else will find it as easy to understand as I do. Sorry.
Well, please read and review. In fact, I'm going back to the old way of doing this. I'll update as soon as I get one review, and not a moment sooner. When I update, the count of reviews will say eleven at least, and come on people! It wouldn't be that hard! I know people are reading this because some of you happen to be my friends! Only one person has to review! And if you don't review, and I know you, then I will call you up and bug you into reviewing!
…
I'm waiting…
