Chapter Fourteen: What a return…

Did I mention I haven't updated in so long?

So I updated and hopefully I'll get enough reviews to assure me that I can keep writing at Sorry, I've just been really busy lately ….drawing and …homework and not writing. It's nothing against having the mental brainblock every so often but, you understand.

Onward story! I'm not sure where to end it, because there seems to be NO ending. Weird huh? Let me know if I should end it.

Please review-

"I did," and they looked to the steps leading into the cafeteria to find Sesshomaru. He was watching the four of them without a hint of humor on his lips, or in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Inuyasha asked, turning on the balls of his feet and glaring at Sesshomaru.

"Calm down, Inuyasha. You should be here. I know how to return."

Sango awoke with a start, and immediately put her hand to her head. A dull throb had begun in the top of her head, and was quickly racing to her temple. She shook her head, ignoring the dizzy room around her and stood. She was unsteady on her feet and fell against a soft wall.

"You alright?"

The soft wall turned into Miroku as Sango's eyes strained to focus in on him. He blinked also, looking at Sango and helping her stand upright.

"What happened?" Sango asked, looking around her. Her vision was clearing and she could only tell from her surroundings that they were beside a hut, and a very feudal looking hut at that.

"I'm not sure. One moment we were with Sesshomaru and then we were here." Miroku rested a hand on her waist, partially helping to steady himself also.

"Miroku, I'm…" Sango began, her voice getting lower, almost unaudible. "I'm scared," she said. "I wasn't sure any of this would happen, it seems like it's almost fate for us to return to this time period."

"I agree, but what I don't understand is who is controlling our where-abouts, and how it is that the portal was opened-"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Miroku and Sango's head both jerked around them, searching for the source of the scream. They looked to the sky just as Kagome fell into Miroku's open arms.

"What brings you here?" Miroku asked, and he sat her down on the ground with a harsh look from Sango.

"I'm not sure. I was looking at Sesshomaru one second, then being hurtled through the air in the next. I don't know what is going on!" Kagome stood up, brushing herself off. She looked around her and at the hut. "Any clues as to where we are?"

"None," Sango replied, her arms crossed over her chest, "but we're working on that."

"Where is Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know…" Kagome said and she looked up into the sky once again.

Inuyasha stood and brushed himself off. He had tumbled from the side of a hill, Sesshomaru halfway rolling after them, then springing gracefully into the air, seemingly unhuman like. Upon landing, or rather hitting a large rock and stopping, Inuyasha discovered several things had changed, like his clothes.

He now stood back in the solid red outfit with a sword attached to his side and somehow, as he swung the sword gently now, it all seemed vaguely familiar and he found, he was good at fighting with it.

Sesshomaru had disappeared as soon as he lept off the side of the rock. Where he was, now unknown, but it was bound to be somewhere within the viscinity seeing as humans didn't leap off mountains very far, or run very fast. But the bit that had Inuyasha worried, was that the leap was most certainly…unhuman.

The problem at hand was to find the others, if they even made it.

, , , , , ,

"How do you use this thing?" Kagome asked, holding up the bow. She took an arrow and pulled it against the string then let go. It sailed beautifully into the ground.

"Couldn't be any weirder than this," Miroku said, looking puzzled at his golden staff. He jangled the rings only to set it back against the wall. He was continually rubbing his palm.

Sango smiled. They, the three of them, had entered the hut they found next to them to find costumes that seemed almost a part of them, so they changed. Of course, Miroku was forced outside while the girls changed, then allowed back in.

Miroku now stood in a purple robe, leaning against the wall with his staff next to him in an almost dignified way that had Sango occasionally glancing at him. Somehow, something was different about him, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Kagome was peering out the window, screaming Inuyasha's name. He had yet to return.

"Perhaps," Miroku said, catching Sango's stare," we should venture out into the foreset and search for him."

"No, because what if he comes here? We can't all lose each other," Kagome said, leaning further out the window.

Miroku slid off the wall and to Sango's side. She blushed lightly. "Kagome, we have to find him somehow and waiting here isn't going to help anything." Sango looked at her friend.

"I know but, I just don't want him to come here and me not be there."

Kagome looked further into the words, searching for his navy blue outfit. What if he had changed and she wasn't going to see him? What if she saw something worse? That was when it passed her eye. A red streak was in the woods. She held up her bow and pointed an arrow into a bush.

"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Nothing, I think," Kagome replied, closing one eye and steadying herself. If Kikyou can do it-Kagome stopped. Kikyou? Where did she come in, in all of this? What was the point of wondering about her? Kikyou couldn't fire a bow if you life depended on it, and yet Kagome knew that…somehow…maybe she could.

She can't, she thought, nodding her head to make sure she believed herself. She, Kikyou, can't.

She can, Kagome thought and she put more focus into the red streak which was now hovering somewhere behind the juniper bush. (I dunno if they have juniper bushes in Japan, but you get the idea: a big kind of bushy bush.)

The string on the bow was pulled back and taunt, and Kagome held her breath, preparing to release it. "Go," she whispered and the arrow shot off towards the bushes just as Inuyasha stood up. He grabbed it in his hand and glared at the window where a shocked Kagome stood.

"What are you doing? Trying to kill me?" Inuyasha cried, stomping his way to the house. Kagome looked at him, with a slightly stunned look at his shining hair and solid red outfit. It was strange seeing him so different, but those eyes, they were his.

Had it not been for his arms underneath the window she would have surely fallen out.

"What are you wearing?" He questioned, then set her on her feet and handed her back the misguided arrow.

"I-I found it inside. What are you wearing?" Kagome asked, flustered.

"Something comfortable," he said, defensive, the tiny silver ears on top of his head twitching.

"Wait-you have ears!" Kagome cried and she jumped up and grabbed onto them, rubbing the tips in between her fingers.

"Hey-y!" Inuyasha cried and flew backwards. He landed on his butt and glared as Kagome laughed. "But they're cute," she said, laughing.

"Cute?" He asked, his cheeks suddenly turning a bright pink.

"Ahhhhhhhh! PERVERT!"

SmacK!

There was a loud slapping sound followed by several fumbled apologies. The curtain to the hut was thrown aside as Sango came stomping out following by Miroku who had a handprint across his cheek.

"What happened?" Kagome asked, doing her best to stifle a laugh.

"The pervert put his hands-" Sango began.

"On her rear," Miroku finished, laying a twitching hand on her again. There was another smack followed by another quick grope. Sango then picked up the giant bone boomerang she had found against the wall and repeatedly beat him into the ground with it.

"That'll take care of him," she said and in a huff, flung the boomerang over her shoulder with ease.

"What a site," Kagome said, with a quiet laugh. She put her hand on the back of her head to hide the ominous sweatdrop rolling down it.

"Interesting couple," Inuyasha commented and he turned around, gazing up at the sky. "When I fell here I rolled down the side of the mountain. I think we should go back to it."

"Why?" Kagome questioned, more desperate to get back home.

"Because, I think it has something to do with the portal and whoever it is that keeps bringing us here."

"Then we should check it out," Miroku commented, his eyes fastened on Sango's posterior.

"Monk, if you're looking where I think you are-" Sango said, unaware of the name she had called him. Her fist clenched.

"Look!" Kagome cried, staring up at the mountain where Inuyasha had been pointing. At the very top was a horrible black cloud and it was circling the top of the mountain.

The group looked to the top of the mountain, watching as the black clouds formed a ring about the tip, and the first signs of someone living came. There was movement on the top made by tiny human-like shadows.

"It's him," Inuyasha said under his breath, not entirely sure who "him" was.

"Looks scary," Kagome said, hugging herself and shuddering.

"Then that's where we're going-" Inuyasha began to walk forward, his now amber eyes on the destination above him.

Sango and Miroku followed, Miroku now holding the staff. Kagome stood behind a few seconds before running to catch up.

That's it for now,

Kuro Kage.
