Chapter 5: Explaining: Kagome
Ok, well, my reviews have stopped, but, that doesn't mean I won't continue. It's like ROSECAT said, "You don't do it for the reviews, but you do it for your story and yourself." So, even though you don't tell me, I know you guys enjoy it. "So get to it. Right now. STOP READING THIS NOTICE AND READ THE FIC! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! I'M GONNA HUNT YOU- Grrmmph!" "Sorry about that folks, my science project got to the keyboard again. Uh-oh. Oogie! Please don't run! Get back in your cage! Listen guys, I gotta take care of this. Enjoy."
The Kagomes walked away from the camp, both of them worried. Kagome2 was worried about how her other would take it, and Kagome was worried about what it was she was about to take. When they were far enough away from Inuyasha, (man, they were walking for a looooong time) Kagome2 sat down on a rock saying, "You asked about my neck?" "Yeah…" started Kagome afraid of what she was bout to hear. "Well… You see… Damn it, how I am supposed to say this? Uh… Well, when demons mate, they bite at the-" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Kagome. She had a bit of a late reaction to the word "mate". "Ow." said Kagome2, removing her hands from her ears. "Please tell me you didn't say 'mate.'" pleaded Kagome, "Please." "I'm sorry. You of all people should know I'm not good at lying. Besides, you know this would have happened eventually." "What! What does that mean!" she shouted. "Come on, don't tell me you haven't realized it, yet. And don't try to lie to me. 1: You're not good at that. 2: If there's one person in the world you can't lie to, it's yourself. Think about it. Deep down, in your heart, you know it. You love him, and don't try to deny it." "I - No I - I can't -" she sighed, "You're right. I do. I guess I can't deny myself anymore. I just heard it from the one person in the world I can trust most. I love him. I love… Inuyasha." "Now doesn't it feel good to get that off your chest?" said Kagome2. "… Yeah. Actually, it does." said Kagome, surprised. "Yup, now you know. You love Inuyasha, and he loves you." Kagome was immediately jerked from a little daydream she was having, and turned to herself, totally taken aback. "Really?" "You couldn't tell? Jeez, I guess I give myself too much credit. Were you not paying attention when I explained the mating mark?" said Kagome2, pointing at her neck. "Well, I kinda cut you off, didn't I? Can you finish now?" "Sure. Anyway, When demons mate, they bite right here, where the neck meets the shoulder, as a sign to other males that she's taken." "So, you and Inuyasha… erm… you-" "Oh, sorry!" exclaimed Kagome2, realizing that the other her was probably uncomfortable about this sort subject, "I'm sorry, but I thought-" "Oh, don't worry about it. Really there's no problem." said Kagome, her face barely containing the plethora of reds under her skin. "There's something else you should probably know." said Kagome2. "Yeah?" "Yeah. Um, according to Inuyasha, it's possible for me to become a hanyou, just like him. But If I do, it would be permanent. Not only that, but the process would be difficult." "What does that mean?" "Well, in order for it to work, I have to bite him, the way he bit me." "Oh. Can we come back to this later? I wanna change the subject. What about… uh, Hojo! What'd Hojo say?" Kagome 2 smiled as she flashed back to what Hojo had done.
FLASHBACK!
Kagome2 walked down the street from her shrine, Inuyasha2 on her arms, (partly to keep him back) she wasn't going to Hojo's house, she had no idea where that was. But she knew he would "just happen" to see them. Sure enough, Hojo rounded the nearest corner. "Higurashi!" he exclaimed, running over. "Who the hell is this?" asked Inuyasha2 quietly. "Down boy, I'll take care of it."Kagome2 whispered back. About then, Hojo was there, looking at Kagome's arms wrapped around Inuyasha's. "Who is this?" he wondered. "Who's this?" he asked. This is Inuyasha, he'smy m…boyfriend." said Kagome2, catching herself before she said "mate." "He's… your…" started Hojo. He couldn't speak, he was scared for her. This guy looked like a freak! He was wearing some red outfit that looked it came from 500 years ago. This guy had a sword for crying out loud! Oh no, this guy was dangerous, he could tell. "Kagome, are sure you want to do this? This guy looks dangerous." he gasped and exclaimed, "He forced you into this didn't he! Don't worry, I can save you!" he exclaimed grabbing her by the arm, and pulling her away from Inuyasha. "Hey! Let go of me! He didn't force anything; this is of my own free will." said Kagome2 getting away from him, and latching back on to Inuyasha's arm. "Yeah, so bug off!" added Inuyasha2, scowling. "Kagome look at him! This guy's dangerous!" "I know. That's one of the reasons I love him so much. He can protect me." "So can I!" exclaimed Hojo. "From five-year-olds." muttered Inuyasha. "Inuyasha. I told you to let me handle it." she muttered back. "I'm sure you could, Hojo, but not nearly as well as Inuyasha can." "That's not true! I bet I'm way stronger than him!" (A/N Hmmph. As if)It was all Kagome2 could do to keep him back. "Could you hear a burglar downstairs from my room? Could you protect mefrom muggers? Rapists? Any idiot with a gun?" "Well I could-" "Answer me this Hojo, what if someone twice your size, pointed a gun at my face, while you were there. What would you do?" "I'd save you." "Tell the truth. Would you really?" "I-" "I can answer that," interrupted Inuyasha2, "You'd run away like the little coward I can tell you are. Come on Kagome, we've done what we came here to do." With that, Inuyasha2 turned on his heel and walked away Kagome2 still on his arm. "What, hey! Come back here! I don't want to have to hurt you!" Hojo shouted after them. "Good! You wouldn't be able to anyway." Inuyasha2 shouted back, not even bothering to look at him. "Big brute." Hojo said quietly turning back around. "I heard that!" shouted Inuyasha2. "Uh-oh." thought Hojo, and he ran away like the coward Inuyasha2 could tell he was. "Jeez, Kagome, those loud friends of yours must be insane trying to set you up with that guy. He's worse than Koga!" "I know, Inuyasha. They are insane." "And loud." he had to add. "Yes Inuyasha," agreed Kagome2, chuckling, "and loud."
END FLASHBACK!
"I'm just glad Inuyasha didn't rip him apart." said Kagome. "So what happened to Koga?" Kagome2 giggled and said, "Oh, you're gonna love this." (A/N: If I do the Koga flashback in this chapter, it'll be way too long, so I'll put in the next chapter. Anyway…) "I knew there was something different about him! But don't you miss the power?" said Kagome. "Well, after we mated, I realized I didn't really need it anymore, so that's where it ended up." "Am I really that sadistic in a year?" "'sadistic' Is a strong word. I'd rather say that things become more fun when you look at things the way Inuyasha does." replied Kagome2. I'll keep that in mind." said Kagome, standing, "but right now, we should probably get back to camp, it's almost dark." "Wow, flashbacks sure take a while, don't they?" (A/N: Boy do I know that's true!) "Yeah, come on, the others will probably be there when we get back." With that, they got up, and left. On the way back, Kagome realized she had forgotten something. "What about Sango and Miroku?"she asked. "Is'nt it obvious?" replied Kagome2. "Well, yeah, I mean those diamonds are huge! How could I missthem? But I have a question." "Yeah? What is it?" "What happens when Miroku gropes her now?" "Nothing. Sometimes she returns the favor, but only if she doesn't think anyone's watching." "Wow, Miroku must love that." "He does."about 5 minutes later, they arrived at camp. Conveniently, they arrived at the exact same time as the others, as if in some kind of book written by a lazy typist. But, they decided not to dwell on such a thought, because it was creepy.
Well, that took longer than expected. This stuff is hard! I mean, have any of you ever tried to catch an escaped man-monkey science project? Yes, I'm talking about you! Now shut up or you don't get any supper tonight! I thought so. Anyway, I'm glad you guys are enjoying my fic, you don't have to tell me. Your eyes say it all. Next chapter: Inuyasha2 tells Inuyasha things he has to know. Plus Koga flashback! Enjoy.
