Chapter 2

Back to the Past

In the morning Kagome said good bye to everyone and was soon back at the Higoarashi shrine. It was a Saturday, and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had agreed to take a week off from shard hunting so Kagome could get caught up in her school work, get her teacher to check her computations on the sacred jewel, and due several other things she needed to. As she climbed out of the Bone Eater's well in her own time she could hear Souta playing outside the well house. She opened the doors and smiled as she said, "Hey Souta, I'm back."

Souta looked over toward her and said, "Hey Kagome. Hey Inuyasha."

Kagome got a quizzical look on her face until she turned around and saw Inuyasha standing behind her. She instantly went in a rage driven speech as she said, "Inuyasha you said we would take a week vacation from shard hunting, and I was gone for one minute and you already came to get me."

Inuyasha took a few steps back and said, "Calm down. I'm coming because Sesshomaru wanted to make sure you talked to Rika as soon as you got here."

Kagome got a blank look on her face until she remembered about Rika and Renamon. Knowing what Sesshomaru would do if she didn't call Rika straight away Kagome handed her backpack to Inuyasha and ran into her house. After saying hi to her mother and grandfather Kagome picked up the phone and dialed Rika's number. As the phone rang she thought, "This will be the first time Sesshomaru and Renamon have seen each other in about a month. I bet Renamon will be jumping for joy."

Kagome's train of thought was interrupted when an older women's voice came over the phone and said, "Hello, Nonaka residents."

"Hello," Kagome said, "This is Kagome, and I was wondering if Rika is home."

The voice at the other end said, "I'm sorry, but Rika is at the Shinjuku Park with her friends. Can I take a message?"

Kagome sighed and said, "No, Thanks though."

"Well then good bye."

"Yeah, bye," Kagome said as she hung up the receiver.

Inuyasha had been standing beside her and asked, "So, when will Renamon be over?"

Kagome turned to Inuyasha and said, "Can I ask you a big favor Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha got an annoyed look on his face and his ears went back0 as he said, "What is it?"

Kagome smiled sweetly and said, "It would be really helpful if you could go to Shinjuku Park and get Renamon. Rika's grandmother said Rika was there, and if Renamon isn't with her Rika would know where to find her."

Inuyasha sighed and said, "Fine, where is this Shinjuku Park anyway?"

Kagome smiled as she dug in a drawer for a map and began to give Inuyasha instructions on how to reach the park.

At the park in question a group of kids were all hanging around a small cement structure hidden from the main path by some trees. Two girls were sitting on the grass playing the digimon card game, one was wearing a white shirt with a heart on it, and as she laid down a card she said, "Try to beat that Jerry."

The other girl, Jerry, looked at the cards in her hand for a second and then sighed because she knew she had been beat. She then smiled and said, "Well, at least it took you longer to beat me this time Rika."

Rika smiled slightly and said, "Yep, your getting better. I think your better then Kazu."

Kazu stuck his head out of the cement structure and said, "Pardon, did you just say Jerry is better then me." He then pulled out his own card deck and said, "Why don't we see who is better, right her, right now."

Jerry smiled as she said, "Okay Kazu." Rika stood up from where she was sitting and Kazu quickly took her seat. As Rika watched them start playing a few more people and one red dinosaur walked out of the structure. Rika turned toward them and said, "So, how is dino boy today?"

Takato, Henry, and Kazu sighed and said, "He still has this pesky cold. I hope Yamachi is able to make a cure for it soon. He just sneezed a pyro sphere attack and it almost hit Henry."

Rika looked over toward Henry and noticed that his orange vest was singed on one side. She was about to comment on it when she heard Jerry scream.

Rika and the other turned to see Jerry pointing her finger at a man in a set of red robes, with long white hair and dog ears. Before anyone knew it Leomon came out of nowhere and attacked the stranger with his fist of the beast king. After Rika and Renamon had returned from the feudal ages Impmon had some how released Leomon's data and he reassembled himself. That was the happiest anyone had seen Jerry in a while.

Leomon was attacking the stranger furiously with his sword, and finally the guy got tired of dodging the lion digimon's blade and took out his sword which quickly transformed to a huge blade. He then used his blade to block one of Leomon's attacks and they were both sent flying backwards. They were about to charge each other again when Rika yelled, "Leomon stop. This guy isn't an enemy."

Leomon turned around to see Rika walking past him and toward the strange man with dog ears. The strange man grunted a little and sheathed his sword as he said, "There you are, I have been looking all over for you Rika."

Rika just glared at the stranger and said, "Inuyasha don't lie to me. I know you followed my scent straight her once you got to the park. Now, what are you doing here?"

Inuyasha huffed and said, "Well we tried to call you to tell you we were taking a week's vacation from jewel hunting, but you weren't home. So I had to come find you."

The other tamers had now figured out that Rika knew this guy some how and had come closer. Henry turned to Rika and asked, "Rika, who is this?"

Rika realized that the others didn't know Inuyasha and she quickly said, "Oh sorry. This is Inuyasha. Remember I told you about how I traveled back in time and got kidnapped."

Everyone nodded and upon seeing this Rika said, "Well Inuyasha here was one of the people who saved me. He is a half-demon, and a powerful fighter."

Leomon walked over to him and after looking at him a second held out his hand and said, "Sorry, I'm just a little protective of Jerry. I hope there are no hard feelings?"

Inuyasha nodded and shook Leomon's hand, and after answering a few of the tamers questions about his sword and his ears he turned back to Rika and asked, "So where is Renamon anyway?"

Rika called Renamon and the digital kitsune appeared beside her. Renamon looked as she always had, except for the addition of the Rensaiga. Ever since the Darkswordmon incident she had constantly carried the sword in its sheath which was strapped onto her back. She looked around a second and then noticed Inuyasha standing there. She smiled and said, "Hello Inuyasha. It has been a while."

Inuyasha nodded and said, "A month. I just came here to tell you we are stopping in Kaede's village for a week, and that you are expected to pop by to see a certain someone."

Renamon nodded her head, trying to contain her excitement in being able to see Sesshomaru again. Before she could leave, an idea then crossed her mind and she said, "Inuyasha, when's the last time you had a good friendly sparing match?"

A smile appeared on his face as he said, "I get ya." Inuyasha jumped back several yards and pulled out his Tetsusaiga as Renamon took a few steps forward as she pulled out her Rensaiga. She then yelled across the field, "I agree not to use the diamond slash if you won't use the wind scar. Agreed?"

Inuyasha nodded and charged toward Renamon. Renamon jumped out of his way and landed on a tree branch. She brought the Rensaiga up into both hands and jumped down on Inuyasha. Inuyasha block the attack with the Tetsusaiga. This clashing of blades went on for 20 minutes with the tamers watched in awe with their partners who had heard the fight and come to see what was going on. Every time Inuyasha would attack Renamon would gracefully jump out of the way and then attack him while his back was turned, and every time she would do that Inuyasha would have just enough time to bring his blade around and block the attack. After they had enough Renamon sheathed the Rensaiga and Inuyasha did the same. The tamers and other digimon clapped as Takato said, "Wow that was cool."

Rika smiled as she said, "Yep, Renamon is quite the swordsman, can give this mutt a run for his money."

Inuyasha shot a glare at Rika before he said, "Well, I'm heading back to Kagome's house. You coming with Renamon?" Renamon nodded and after saying a quick goodbye to Rika she leapt after Inuyasha as he made his way back to the Higoarashi Shrine. Rika watched them disappear in the distance before she was assaulted by the other tamers wanting to know who else she met back in the past.

Renamon and Inuyasha were back at the shrine in a few minutes, and while Inuyasha headed over to the house Renamon went straight for the well house. Before you could blink she was through the shrine doors and down the well, being enveloped by a swirling demonic aura.

Soon she hopped out of the well, and into the feudal age of Japan. She looked around, remembering the last time she had seen Sesshomaru. Renamon then heard someone calling out to her, and she turned to see Rin running toward her, her hands grasped around a ring of flowers she had been making. Renamon bent down and gave Rin a good hug as she said, "Hey Rin. How have you been?"

Rin stepped back and smiled as she said, "I'm just fine. It is so nice to see you again Lady Renamon, and I am sure that Lord Sesshomaru will be even happier to see you."

Renamon stood up and smiled as she said, "Well we better not be keeping our lord waiting." Rin smile broadened as she and Renamon began to walk back to Kaede's village. As they walked Rin told Renamon about everything that had been happening. As Renamon listened she thought, "Well, it seems like these guys have been having business as usual."

As the village came into view Renamon saw Jaken running from the village in a panic. Renamon soon knew why because after him came the demon cat Kirara playfully chasing after him. Renamon chuckled as she heard Jaken yell, "GO AWAY YOU PESKY CAT. I AM NOT A MOUSE FOR YOU TO TOURTURE. I AM JAKEN, WEILDER OF THE STAFF OF TWO HEADS." Jaken then realized the Rin and Renamon were walking toward him and he stopped dead in his tracks. This was a bad move because Kirara was not expecting her pray to stop running in the middle of the chase and she plowed right over the little toad demon. Kirara then noticed Renamon standing there, trying to contain her laughter about Jaken's misfortune, and she transformed back into her small kitten form. Renamon picked her up and began to pet her. Kirara mewed as Renamon said, "It is nice to see you too Kirara." Renamon, Rin, and Kirara waited for Jaken to recover from being made into road pizza before they continued toward the village.

Once they were in the village they began to look for the others, but they didn't have to look long. After a few minutes of looking they heard someone scream pervert and the sound of someone getting smacked hard. Renamon directed the little group in the direction of the sound, and wasn't surprised to Sango with a bright red face and Miroku on the ground with a fresh hand print across his face. As Renamon got closer she said, "Don't you two ever give it a rest."

Sango and Miroku soon forgot what had just happened and were warmly greeting Renamon. Renamon caught up with them for a while when Shippo and Kohaku came looking for Sango and Miroku, and Shippo began to beg Renamon to bring Rika back so he could play the digimon card game with her again, hoping to prove himself against her. Renamon smiled as she said, "Why can't you guys pass through the well like Inuyasha does?"

Sango shrugged and said, "No, we can't pass through the well like Kagome and Inuyasha do."

Renamon thought a second and then said, "Well Kagome is able to bring that huge bag over to this era and its easily bigger then the average human. So, maybe if you hung onto her or Inuyasha while they went through the well maybe you could get through."

Miroku said, "That is an interesting theory. We should give it a try sometime."

Renamon and the others caught up for a bit longer, but finally Renamon couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Sango, do you know where Sesshomaru is?"

Sango smiled in a knowing way and said, "He is back at Kaede's house. Last time I saw him he was just sitting on her roof watching the clouds go by, so he probably is still there." Renamon thanked Sango and headed off in the direction of Kaede's hut. When she was sure the others wouldn't see her she broke into a fast run and was at the hut in a minute flat. Once the hut had come into view Renamon saw that someone was laying on the roof, and she had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn't Kaede. She quickly leapt up to the roof and as she landed she said, "Hey you, what are you doing up here all by your self? It looks like to me you could use some company."

Sesshomaru had been so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't sensed Renamon approach and she had caught him pretty off guard, but he soon regained his composure and stood up. He then walked over to where Renamon was standing and said, "I have missed you Renamon."

Renamon almost melted at the sound of Sesshomaru's voice, and she replied, "and I missed you as well Sesshomaru." She then leaned into him and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. After she broke of the kiss Sesshomaru's usual cool composure disappeared, and he and Renamon began to talk about anything and everything.

Sesshomaru and Renamon had been talking for hours now, and had about run out of things to talk about when Sesshomaru said, "So, I see you have started carrying the Rensaiga around."

Renamon looked over her shoulder as she said, "Since it is a sword forged of your fang I think of it a way to keep you with me always."

Sesshomaru sighed as she said, "I'm glad your putting the sword to good use."

Renamon and Sesshomaru then sat in silence for a few minutes before Renamon said, "Sesshomaru, I had forgotten just how happy I am when I am with you. I wish we could always be together."

Sesshomaru sighed and said, "As do I, but only you can travel through the well. Both of us know you can not forsake Rika for my sake."

Renamon nodded and said, "Yeah, I can never forget about Rika. I just wish we could spend a little more time together."

Sesshomaru leaned over to Renamon and said, "I know. I to wish I could spend every moment with you, my digital kitsune."

Renamon blushed a bit before she slid closer to Sesshomaru and he brought his hand around her. As she nestled into his strong, protective arm they looked off and watched the sun set. As the sun finished setting Renamon brought her head up to Sesshomaru's and they enjoyed one long, passionate kiss. After they broke off that kiss they quickly kissed again. After a few minutes of this Renamon lowered her head and fell asleep with her head resting on Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru looked down and couldn't help but think, "If only I could go with you, for I know Rin doesn't care where we are as long as I am there to protect her. If we all could travel through the well as you do we could be together as long as we both live."
