Someday

Chapter 9

A/N: ...Please don't kill me! I have a real reason on why I haven't updated in so long! You see, first my computer literally, died. Hard rive wiped and everything. With it went all of my freaking stories MP3's and pictures... Very depressing thing. Then, in order to save my schooling we went through this custody thing, and I went to live with my mom, who then moved to the country. Now I'm in a good school and I can update during study halls (Which I am doing now) but recently I've been report crazy.

Bleh. Being a freshman is well, interesting.

On the bright side, my burn hath been brought back and all you little Fansies can smile once more! THE RAIN SHALL END!

Now like my usual, ON WITH DA FIC!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Kagome shivered. It wasn't really even very cold; in fact it was quite the opposite. It was horribly hot, and her kimono was sticking to her back in the most unpleasant way. Still, she shivered, and she couldn't stop. Of course Inuyasha noticed and said something.

"Oi Kagome, what's the matter? There's no way you could be cold."

Kagome blinked. Why had she been shivering? Something bad was coming from the west. It creped her out and she wanted that feeling to go away. "I dunno. Something doesn't quite feel right. Maybe I forgot something." She lied quickly. Whatever it was, Inuyasha would most likely go gung ho about it and chase after it, much like the past. It probably had nothing to do with them, and their demon hunting days were over. She smiled and grabbed his arm.

"No worries! Come on dog boy, we've gotta get the Shikon no Tama!"

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Twitch.

Twitch.

Twitch Twitch.

Souta was not very happy right now, not happy at all. In fact, if you really wanted to know, he was seething with anger. And possibly a bit of jealousy, but he wouldn't be the one to tell you that. No no, he was letting it steep, getting more irritated by the minute. Why you may ask? It's quite a simple question really.

The reason's name is Kohaku.

Sure, the boy was nice and all. He was fit, charming, modest...and Rin obviously liked him a lot. So why on earth would Souta be so irritated by his presence? Scroll to the fourth reason please. There you go, now you get it don't you?

Souta twitched again. He was still a bit raw from what happened minutes before.

"Kohaku! I haven't seen you in months!" Rin smiled and went to hug him ferociously. The boy, Kohaku, smiled and hugged her lightly back; all the while Souta was holding his tongue.

'After all, he's Rin's friend. He's probably really nice-HEY HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING THAT HAND BUB!'

As Kohaku was hugging her, his hands had dropped suspiciously low. Souta coughed lightly, which brought Rin out of her "Yay Kohaku's back!" reverie.

"Oh! How silly of me, Kohaku, this is my friend Souta. He's Kagome Chan's sister! He saved my life, and he's really cool!" Rin chirped. Souta smiled, not really at her, but more for her praise. Kohaku smiled back at him and bowed at Souta's, eye's still in contact. Souta, not wanting to seem like a pig, bowed at Kohaku's level eyes in contact with him. It was all pleasant until Kohaku flashed him a smug smrik. They both stood up at the same time, subtly glaring at each other in silence as to not alarm Rin.

"Wow! You two are really polite!" Rin beamed at both of them, and then grabbed their hands. "Come on; let's get our butts in gear! To Akebi village!"

Yep. Souta was still irked beyond belief. He walked on the left side of Rin, while Kohaku was on her right. They were having a polite conversation, asking what they've been doing since they had seen each other last. Rin would talk with Souta every once and a while, but she'd eventually slip back to talking with Kohaku. This left Souta some time to think. Leaving Rin to chat wit Kohaku, his mind drifted.

First off, how was Kagome? Six years was a long time, for him anyways. Was she still the same? Did she have any kids? He'd be a little shocked if he was suddenly and uncle, but he'd probably deal. Inuyasha would most definitely be the father, who else would it be?

Souta shrugged off the thought. He certainly hoped Inuyasha was the father... Then again there was a LOT of demons around here. He twitched again. That was a thought he didn't want in his mind.

It really does suck being a visual thinker.

Sighing, Souta glanced at Rin again. She was walking with a bounce in her step and everything jiggled...

Yep. Definitely sucks being a visual thinker. Hormones aren't that fun either.

Fighting off the eminent blush, he tried to think of boring things. Algebra, social studies... His friends were going to kill him for not doing his share of the report, but it wasn't really his fault was it? It was Buyo's. Actually, it was Buyo's fault Kagome fell in here in the first place. So really, all this was happening to them because of a freaking cat! Souta grimaced. All because they found a pudgy little kitten shivering in the cold, fumbling up the shrine steps all those years ago... Souta sighed once more, he'd been doing that a lot since falling through that damn well, and tried to think about Mama.

The poor woman! She must be worried sick. "I wonder what she's doing right now..."

Rin tripped and as Souta caught her she shrieked as her kimono ripped near her ankle. "AAYA!"

ZZZZZ

"AAYA! Come down here! I want you to help get us some tea!" Rin stood graciously and walked to another door. "I think you'd better come in here M'am."

Getting up slowly, Ai walked next to Rin as she stood there waiting. It was a door disguised as a wall, very cleverly I might add. Ai may have never guessed it to be a door had Rin not have pushed it slightly. It made a light clicking noise and creaked as it opened.

"What's in here may shock you Mrs. Higurashi..." Rin walked slowly into the darkness.

"I-I don't remember telling you my..." Ai stopped mid- sentence. They had walked into a room with hundreds of artifacts. There were bows, swords, arrows, cups, mugs, a few ancient coats and clothes... All from Sengoku Jidai. But what caught Ai's eye was a slightly tattered, somewhat stained, school uniform. Ai walked towards it and stroked the green skirt, tears in her eyes.

"Kagome asked us to hold hers. She's holding Soutas." Rin said slowly. Ai whirled around and stared at her.

"He's..." Ai trailed off. Rin smiled.

"There's more then one book in a trilogy Mrs. Higurashi. Come, I think Aaya's finished the tea." They walked out of the room.

Just then did Ai hear the teakettle's whistle.

ZZZZZZZZZZ

Shian sat, toying with her necklace. There was a great many jewels on it, but not nearly enough. She wrinkled her nose. It was missing its main attraction, the center jewel. It had been missing for so long...

"I just love my new diamond," She purred, "but I do so want it... My four souled jewel... Having one soul a jewel is nice, but imagine, four! Ahh... It makes me squeal like a little girl." She fingered a large diamond situated on the left of her necklace. It sparkled brilliantly.

"You a simply one of a kind... Sesshomaru." She laughed wickedly and rose. Walking into the forest.

ZZZZZZZZZ

A/N: I HAVE RETURNED! Aren't you so HAPPY! I can update now! Study halls and usage of floppies baby... So anyways, yes! The plot is forming. Is it confusing you? Making you smile? Painfully obvious? Ah well. And to eyeoffcenter, I wasn't offended at all! It actually helped me with this chapter. Thank you very much! I was wondering... Do you people want review responses? If you want 'em, I'll start putting them in chapters. Yeah. So that's it for my A/N. Watch my profile for update, k? It'll be like my news center... Bai bee!

Smoochies!

(P.S. It's not perfect because I want to get it out this study hall... I think I fixed most of the spelling errors, but there might be some wonky grammar errors... Gomen! which means sorry)
