CHAPTER 17:
KIKYOU IS BACK!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So,what you are trying to say,Kagome-sama,....is that the Shichinin-tai took you as hostage to lure Inuyasha out...?"said Miroku
The group were inside Miroku's mansion.The room was now empty since all the party guest left.
"Yes,.....that's what they said.They said that their real target was Inuyasha,"said Kagome as she treated both Inuyasha and Kouga's wounds.
"Naraku must have hired him to get rid of Inuyasha because he'll be in the way to get Kagome-chan,"said Sango with a serious expression.
"Much like Naraku usually does,"said Miroku with a disgusting look.
"It is a really horrible thing to do.I'm scared,Nobunaga..."said Tsuyu as she holds Nobunaga's arm.
"Ah,don't worry my dear Tsuyu!I will protect you no matter what happens!"said Nobunaga and hugs her in return.
"Miroku-sama...."Koharu stares at Miroku with a worried expression.
"OW!That fuckin' hurts!Can't you treat me a little softer!!?"shouted Inuyasha angrily
"I'm doing my best!It'll hurt more if you don't stay still!!"shouted Kagome
"It'll still hurt even if I stay still!!"shouted Inuyasha back at her.
The group sighs at the usual arguement between the two.
"Heh,you're so pathetic,Inukkoro.Can't even stand the medicine stinging you?Well,I could!That proves that I'm way stronger than you!!"said Kouga with a smug look and a band-aid across his nose.
"What the fuck did you just say,Yase-ookami!!?Who was the one having a hard time beating that gay bastard up!!?Huh!?Who!!?"shouted Inuyasha angrily at him.
"And who was the one losing to a fuckin' bomb maniac!!?"shouted Kouga
"Come on,you two!!Please!Stay still!!"shouted Kagome between them,"How can I treat your wounds when you two keep yelling at each other!!?"
Kouga and Inuyasha makes a sort of apologetic expression and stays quite still as Kagome started treating their wounds again.
Sango and Miroku looks at each other and bursts out laughing.
"Now what the fuck is so funny?"said Inuyasha in a grumpy mood.
"Nothing!" They both said it in the same time.
"There!Done!"said Kagome putting a band-aid across Inuyasha's left cheek."Now you can move."
Kouga stood up stretching his ams around,"Thanks Kagome.I owe you!"
"It's no big deal....and you saved me,I can't just leave you like hat,"said Kagome blushing.
"HEY!I'm the one who rescued you!!"said Inuyasha
"Heh,jealousy doesn't fit you,Inukkoro,"Kouga commented and turns to leave."Let's go,Ginta,Hakkaku!!"
"Eh....?Ahh...sure!"said Ginta
"Thanks for helping Kouga,Kagome-nee-san."said Hakkaku
Kouga turns towards Kagome and waves his hand cheerfully."Thanks again,Kagome!See you at school Monday!!"
"Don't ever fuckin' show your face to me again!!"shouted Inuyasha as Kouga left.
"Now now,Inuyasha.Your blood pressure will rise if you keep yelling like that,"said Miroku.
"Who cares!!!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Kagome was in her room looking at her own reflection.The door opened behind her and Ms.Higurashi came in.
"How was your party,dear?" she asked as she closed the door.Kagome stared at her mother and sighs.
"?"
Ms.Higurashi sat next to her daughter and patted her shoulder."Don't get so down.You'll find another boy that will fit you."
"Wha...!!" Kagome comically slides away from her mother,"It...It's not about that!!!"
Ms.Higurashi laughs with her hand over her mouth,"I was just playing around,dear.Now tell me..what is bothering you?"
Kagome stares at her feet for a while,"Mother.....I....."
"Hm?"
She stares at her mother's eyes before she continued,"...never mind." She closed her eyes,"I think I should go to bed now....I...I feel tired..."
"Well...." Ms.Higurashi stood up and walks towards the door.She turns to see Kagome laying herself in the bed.
"Kagome..."
"Hm?What is it,mother?"
".........." Ms.Higurashi smiled sadly as she closed her eyes,"It's nothing,dear.Have a good night."
".......Okay,mom...."
Ms.Higurashi closed the door behind her as she walked out of Kagome's room.She walks into the living room and stands in front of the wall with pictures of the family hanging.
She stared hardly at the picture of Kagome's father."......Kagome..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday,
Kagome was at the door tieing her shoes."Wait for me Nee-chan!!"
Her brother,Souta,came running up to her with his bag hanging from his back.
"Hurry up,Souta or I'm going to be late for school."
"U..Unn..." Souta tied his shoes quickly and walks out the door.
"Be careful," said Ms.Higurashi as she followed them outside.
"By,mom!!" Souta waved at her as he followed Kagome down the temple.
Ms.Higurashi watched her children walking away and turns to a old Goshinboku tree beside their house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"N...Nee-chan...?"
"Hm?"
Kagome and Souta walked down the usual road they use to go to school.
"Umm...H..ow was your party?"
"What are you saying so suddenly?" Kagome looked at her brother in surprise,"...It was...okay I guess." She possibly couldn't say that she was kidnapped and held as hostage.
"Oh....okay then." Souta looked rather nervous.He looked up at his sister,"Okaa-chan was really worried about you."
"She was?"
"Unn," They stopped in front of Souta's school," She said that it's almost time or something."
"Time?For what?"
"I don't know..." Souta looked back to see his friend's calling from inside the school,"She said......she was afraid that she was going to lose you."
"Huh?H.Hey,wait!!" Kagome shouted as Souta ran inside his school.
"What is wrong with him?" she said to herself.She felt a pat on her shoulders and turned around to find Inuyasha,"I..Inuyasha!!?What are you doing here?"
"Huh?What are you talking about?" said Inuyasha in a confused expression,"We go to the same school so what's wrong with me walking this way?"
"Oh...yeah,I forgot."
"Are you okay,Kagome?"
"Yeah...yeah I'm fine." Kagome and Inuyasha walked together.
"That was your..brother,right?" said Inuyasha who was trying to find a subject to talk about.
"Yes..,I know..he looks annoying doesn't he?" said Kagome as her face goes red.
Inuyasha scratched his nose,"Uhh..no.It's not like he has the same personality as my stupid brother anyways."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha,"You really hate your brother do you?"
"Does it look like I don't?"
"No,....but....even though...you shouldn't say things about your brother that much.Because.....because...once you become alone....he might be the only one you can rely on...." Kagome smiles sadly as Inuyasha feels his face turning red extremely fast.
"H...Hmph!!Like I'll ever rely on him!!That guy is such a bastard!!"
"Inuyasha..." Kagome sweatdropped.
As they came closer to school,Inuyasha realized something and reached inside his pocket.
"Oh..yeah,I fogot..." he said as he took something out from the pocket and gave it to her.
"?"
"Your brooch," Inuyasha said as he scratched his head in embarrassment,"I found it at the balcony you said you were kidnapped.I was gonna give it back to you afterwards but I guess I forgot."
"Inuyasha....."
"H..Hey,You don't have to go all mushy about it,kay!?I just found it and gave it back to you!!That's normal isn't it!!?And.....and you said that your brooch was your last birthday present from your dad...so..I.."
Inuyasha felt Kagome's arms around him and freaked out,"Ka...Kagome!!?"
Kagome was crying as she muttered,"Thank you,Inuyasha.I've never had that much people who were nice to me.I was so happy.Thank you."
"..........Kagome?"
Kagome moves her hand away as she brought it up to wipe her tears,"Inuyasha....I love you."
"Wha...?" Inuyasha's eyes widen as his face goes all red again," Wha....What the heck are you saying all of the sudden!!?"
Kagome smiles sticking her tongue out mischievously,"But it's the truth.I can't hold this feeling.I had to tell you."
"Th...That doesn't mean you have to tell me right now!!?" Inuyasha's face was still red as a tomato,"Don't you ever think of things such as ' timing ' like those shoujo manga's!!?"
"What Inuyasha?You read those?"
"Wha...!NO I DO NOT!!!" shouted Inuyasha blushing furiously.
Kagome giggles and puts her hand on Inuyasha's cheeks,".....you won't....leave me,will you?"
".....Ka.....gome?"
She smiles sadly and closes her eyes,"....nevermind.We should be going to school now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they went inside the school gate,all heads turned towards them.They both looked around in surprise wondering why the people are looking at them.
' Are there any new rumors about us? ' thought Kagome
Inuyasha pulled Kagome's hand as he walked towards the crowd.Kagome heard whispers such as " It's her" or like " I feel sorry for the girl" or like " she's back".
"Kagome-chan!!"
They both looked up to see Sango running up to them with a shocked and surprised expression.
"Sango-chan,what is wrong?" asked Kagome
Sango stared at the two for a while and turns to Inuyasha,"Inuyasha.....she's back!"
"Eh?Who's back?" Kagome said in confused.Inuyasha on the otherhand had the same expression Sango had.
Suddenly,the crowd in front of them broke up and a girl in uniforms appeared between them.Kagome gasped in surprise to see the girl looking exactly like her.But the girl had longer black hair and had brown eyes.She had a expressionless face unlike Kagome who was full of life.But the girl's expression changes as she saw Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha,.........I'm so glad to meet you again."
Inuyasha with a shocked and a I-can't-believe-what-I'm-looking-expression blinked his eyes to see if he was just imagining.
"K...Kikyou....?" he muttered as he finally accepted the fact that she was standing right in front of him.
'Eh?' Kagome looked surprised and turns to the girl who looks like her,' This is....Kikyou?'

KIKYOU IS BACK!!!
