Chapter 28: What the Future Can Tell
"US!" Kagome shrieked.
"What do you mean, 'us?' We're right here!" Inuyasha said.
"I was coming back from the store I was at and I bumped into…well…me!" Kagome said. "You were there, and Kia…well, at least I think it was Kia…and another person that I don't know! I could see through the spells though! The girl that I didn't recognize had white dog ears!"
"Okay, just calm down. What did you tell you?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked at him funny, then took a deep breath.
"I must have had it planned out. She told me her name, yours, and it WAS Kia, and the other girls name was Kamina. She didn't ask for my name because she said she already knew it! Then she said something that I didn't really understand, then they walked away, and she said over her shoulder 'Look us up in the phone book under Taisho. There's a whole lot more of us than you think…and call us. There's a few people we want you to meet'."
"Do you want to go do that after we eat?" Inuyasha asked as he sat her down at the table.
"Yeah."
XxXxXxXxXxXx
They arrived back at the shrine after they had eaten, and went straight for the phone book. Kagome got to it first, and she opened it and found the 'T's. She ran her finger down the page and almost fainted.
"Okay, there's you and me, then Kimi and Lloyd, whoever that is, Sesshomaru and Kiala, Kamina, Kia, Koinu and Sanya…woah! Sanya and Koinu! That's weird…well, anyway, Siala, Kiomaru, Akira, Komi, Kathryn, Arlic and a WHOLE lot more!" Kagome explained. "There's at least two pages of Taisho's!"
"Gee…" Inuyasha said, a silly grin getting plastered on his face.
"What?" Kagome turned around, seeing the grin. "What are you thinking?"
"Oh, nothing…" Inuyasha said playfully.
"INUYASHA! YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE THINKING WHAT I THINK YOU ARE!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha could only grin more.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
xxThe Next Day, In The Morningxx
"Inuyasha, I don't feel good." Kagome said.
"What's wrong?" He asked, concerned.
"I feel sick…" Kagome said.
"You don't think…" Inuyasha said, his concerned look turning into a frightened one. Kagome looked confused, then realization dawned on her face.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Kagome yelled.
"Uh oh…"
"SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIT!" Kagome yelled. With each word, Inuyasha went crashing into the ground, face first. "Oh, man, that doesn't feel good…" Kagome said after the yelling. Inuyasha stood up and walked over to her, helping to a chair.
"Should we bring you to a doctor?" Inuyasha asked, even though he hated the men there with needles and cold metal objects.
"I guess…" Kagome said.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"I'M WHAT?" Anyone in the entire doctor's office could hear Kagome yell.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Taisho, but it's true."
"It can't be…"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Taisho, but your pregnant."
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"So, are you mad at me Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as they got into their car, his ears drooping slightly.
"No, not really. Just…shocked is all." Kagome said. "I just have one thing I want you to do to make up for it."
"And that would be…?" Inuyasha asked as she started the car.
"Here's the plan…"
XxXxXxXxXxXx
xxThe Next Dayxx
Kagome and Inuyasha arrived back in the past around noon. They didn't find anyone inside, but heard shrieks of laughter from outside. They walked out to find that Kiala had her wings out and was picking up each person in turn and flying them around. It was Shippo's turn, and he was having a blast.
"Hey guys." Kagome said when they got out there.
"Hey!" Sango said. She was sitting on the ground next to Midoriko, who had a very attentive Kirara in her lap.
"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked them as he sat down, pointing at Shippo and Kiala.
"We got bored and Kiala decided to do that to each person in turn. It's Miroku's turn next." Sango said.
"Ah. So, how have you two been?" Kagome asked.
"We have been fine, thank ye…er…you for asking." Midoriko said. "I'm trying to improve my…" She said, but stopped when Kirara's head jerked up and she jumped out of her lap. Everyone, even Kiala and Shippo stopped and turned to watch.
"Kirara?" Sango asked uncertainly. The familiar red flames engulfed her, but when they disappeared, the usual larger cat didn't appear, but a human-looking demon did. She had blonde hair, red eyes, black cat ears, two blonde tails with two black stripes at the end of each, a blonde colored collar, three red jewels on her stomach that pointed to a round red jewel, a black diamond shape in the middle of her forehead. She was wearing a pair of black shorts, a light purple long sleeve shirt that had the bottom stop above her stomach, a pair of black boots that had a black stripe above each boot, a pair of black gloves with a black stripe above each glove, and a silvery transparent shawl that was attached to her middle finger and attached under her collar.
"Midoriko! Sango! I remembered how! I did it!" The demon cried out triumphantly.
"Kirara! That's amazing! It's been at least two hundred years since ye…er…you did that!" Midoriko said happily.
"I know! I'm so happy!" Kirara said, then ran over to Sango and Midoriko and gave them each a hug.
"Um, mind telling me what's going on?" Sango asked after Kirara had pulled away.
"Before my soul was made into the jewel, Kirara was my companion in battle. She could transform between the small cat, the larger one and this form. She must have forgotten how, and must just now figured it out." Midoriko said.
"Well, that would explain it." Miroku said.
"Yes it would…and Kiala?" Kirara asked as she turned around.
"Yes?"
"Could I have a turn?"
XxXxXxXxXxXx
xxTwo Days Laterxx
"So, we're really going to your time Kagome?" Kiala asked as she grabbed the last of the things she'd need for Siala and Kiomaru. Sesshomaru's sugar highness finally wore off, and he was back to his normal self…well, actually, his happy normal self. Not the serious one like before.
"Yeah. We're going to a friend of mine's who's throwing a party, and your all invited. Tomorrow is a day in the future which we call Halloween. It's when kids can go up to houses and get free candy, and they get to dress up. Older kids get to go to parties." Kagome said.
"And I have bracelets and stuff like that, by the way, thank you Midoriko," Kagome said, nodding to Midoriko, "For all of you who have demon parts, like ears or whatnot, and the items keep regular humans from seeing your demons. I need you to go to my time today so we can all go buy your costumes and show you have to use futuristic items."
"Okay." Miroku said. "So, what's it like Sango?" He thought it would be best to ask someone who had lived in Feudal times before, and had actually been there, than to actually ask a person that lived there almost full time.
"Well, it's quite interesting. You'll have to see." Sango said with a grin.
"All right, here are the groups that people will go in. Midoriko, since you ARE the jewel, you can go through the well with no problem. I need you to bring Sesshomaru, Kiala, Siala and Kiomaru. Kiomaru and Siala will be able to stay with my mom and older brother, along with Sanya, Machika, Koinu and Kia." Kagome assured Kiala at her worried look. "Soten, Shippo, Kirara, you'll be going with Inuyasha, and I'll take Sango, Miroku, Sanya and Machika. Is that everyone?"
"Yeah." Inuyasha said with a nod. "Everyone have what they need?"
"Yep. Let's go." Kagome said. Midoriko went first with her group, holding hands with each Sesshomaru and Kiala, who each had a kid in their arms, then Inuyasha jumped in, holding hands with everyone, and Kagome went last while holding Sango and Miroku's hands, who were holding Sanya and Machika. They all appeared on the other side, Midoriko and her group smart enough to use the ladder before anyone else came through so that it wouldn't get crowded.
Once everyone was out of the well, Kagome opened the door to the well house and they all stepped outside. They weren't able to see the city because of the trees, which had grown a lot over the years.
"So this is the God Tree?" Miroku asked as he walked over to the sacred tree.
"Yeah. There's the area that Inuyasha was pinned to for fifty years. You can see where, can't you? And you can also see the hole that the arrow was in." Kagome explained.
"Yeah, I can see." Midoriko said. Inuyasha, Sango and Kagome then led everyone to the house. Kagome opened the door, and was greeted with the sounds of a movie in the living room.
"Hey guys! I brought them!" Kagome said.
"Oh, good! I'll be there in a moment Kagome!" Anami yelled from the living room. Kagome heard the sounds of the movie stop, and her mother walked into the room. "Wow."
"Yeah, okay Mom, there's going to be six kids that you, Sota and Grandpa get to take care of. Sanya, Machika, Kia, Koinu, Siala and Kiomaru. And this is Kiala, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Shippo, Soten, Midoriko and Kirara. Guys, this is my mom Anami, or you can just call her mom. She doesn't mind either one." Kagome explained.
"Hello." Anami said, bowing politely. She reached into her pocket and pulled something out. "Kagome, this is for clothes and costumes for you and your friends. I've been saving up for something like this." She handed Kagome what looked to be a wad of one hundred dollar bills.
"Wow! Thanks Mom!" Kagome said, then slipped the money into her pocket and gave her mother a hug. "All right, guys, stay down here. I'll bring you your clothes in a minute and Inuyasha will show you how to put it on. Ladies, follow Sango and I'll bring you your clothes in a minute. It's time to go shopping!"
XxXxXxXxXxXx
They arrived at the mall, all in modern day clothes. They had decided that Kirara would just go to the Halloween thing as herself, seeing as she had the ears, tails, eyes, even the clothes. Kagome had given Kiala, Shippo, Kirara and Sesshomaru either bracelets or rings to wear to hide their 'demonness'.
"All right, Sango, what do you think Miroku should go as?" Kagome asked her as they walked through the parking lot. While they were doing this, Inuyasha and Hojo (Kagome had invited him to come to help with the costumes) were explaining to the others what things were, such as elevators, escalators, telephones, cell phones, TV's, cash registers and sliding doors.
"I think he should be a…uh…a…uh…HEY HOJO! WHAT SHOULD MIROKU BE?" Sango yelled back to the other group who was about a hundred yards away.
Without hesitation, Hojo yelled back, "THE MYSTERIOUS ASSASSIN TYPE!"
"OKAY! We're going to go ahead" Sango yelled back.
"All right! Meet you at the costume shop?" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Yeah! See you there!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha waved in acknowledgement, and the girls took off.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
By the time Inuyasha's group made it to the shop, Kagome and Sango had already picked out costumes for everyone. Kirara's had previously been chosen, and it had been agreed between the two girls that Shippo would go as himself (like Kirara). Sesshomaru would go as a demon lord with dog tails that Kagome could make using a spell. Like Hojo had said, Miroku was going to be like an assassin. Sango would go as a demon slayer, and Kiala would be a fairy (D-U-H!). Soten would be a pirate, with her little dragon Koryu dressed up as a parrot. Midoriko would go as a belly dancer, which she preferred after a short discussion with Sango and Kagome. Kagome was going as a dog demon queen and Inuyasha was going as a dog demon lord. All they had to do was make tails using Kagome's spell.
"So, has everyone agreed on their costume?" Kagome asked. Everyone nodded.
"Okay, now, Inuyasha, we need you, Sesshomaru and Shippo to go to the men's clothes store and buy them some clothes that look good on them." Sango said. Inuyasha nodded, then he and the other two started to walk off. "Wait, Inuyasha!" He turned around. "And make sure that they FIT." Sango said. Inuyasha half glared at her since she had spoiled his plan, then walked off.
"Okay, now that they're gone, we can go shopping after we buy these." Kagome said. The other girls nodded enthusiastically. "Now, the big decision…"
"What's the big decision?" Soten asked.
"Where to go shopping first…"
XxXxXxXxXxXx
xxThe Next Nightxx
Kagome and Inuyasha led the group up to a large mansion near the edge of town. Everyone was in costume, and Kagome kept on tripping on her dress. It made Inuyasha and everyone else (including Kagome herself) laugh.
"What are we doing here Kagome?" Kiala asked, her wings out and fluttering about.
"This is where the party is." Kagome said. They walked up the long path up to the front door, where Kagome rang the doorbell. The door opened and a girl stood there. She had midnight black hair with silver streaks. She had black and silver striped dog ears and a midnight black tail with a silver tip. She was wearing a pure white karate outfit and had no shoes.
"Ah, Mrs. Kagome! Mr. and Mrs. Taeagada have been expecting you! Please come in!" The girl said.
"Thank you Shami." Kagome said, and shooed everyone inside.
"The ballroom is set up as the party room. On the second floor are rooms that you can all stay in tonight, since this almost an all-nighter party." The girl now known as Shami said.
"Thanks so much Shami. Where's Kat?" Inuyasha asked.
"She's in the ballroom with Mr. and Mrs. Taeagada." Shami said.
"Okay. We'll see you in the ballroom in a minute, right Shami?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah. I have to go alert Mr. and Mrs. Mutagana and Mr. and Mrs. Taisho that you are here." Shami said.
"All right." Inuyasha said, and he and Kagome led the group down a short hallway and through a pair of open double doors. Sango and Midoriko gasped at its size. It was huge, and there were people in costume out on the dance floor dancing to a waltz.
"Mrs. Kagome!" The group turned around to see a girl running towards them. She had black hair, a pair of white dog ears mounted on top of her head, and she had crimson red eyes. She was dressed up as a scientist.
"Hey Kamina." Kagome said with a smile. "Kamina, this is Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Kiala, Sesshomaru, Shippo, Midoriko, Soten and you already know Inuyasha. Guys, this is Kamina. She's my daughter." Kagome smirked. Sango and Miroku gaped at her.
"What?" Shippo managed out. "I thought that Kia and Koinu were your only kids!"
"Well, this is my future daughter. And then there's Kat…speaking of Kat, where is she?" Kagome asked, turning to a giggling Kamina.
"She's out there dancing with Arlic." Kamina said, a grin being placed on her face.
"What's so funny?" Kagome asked.
"There's a little thing going on between them." Kamina said, still smiling.
"Oh…and when are…um, how should I put this…the group of you-know-who's going to show up?" Kagome asked.
"Oh, in about three…two…one…" Kamina said, then everyone heard from the other side of the door someone yell 'SIT!' and a loud crash. Inuyasha also fell to the ground, face first. At the exact same time, from both sides of the door, you could here 'WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR KAGOME?'
Everyone was silent. Everyone was staring at either Kagome and Inuyasha or the door.
"I didn't do anything Inuyasha…" Kagome said, leaning down and pulling him up. The door to the hallway opened and…well…Kagome walked in, looking huffed.
"Oh, hey, you made it!" She said, spotting Kagome (I'm just going to call the future Kagome 'Kag' for the time being as not to confuse people, and call the future Inuyasha 'Inu' Okay?).
"Yeah, we did Kag." Kagome said.
"Oh, Inuyasha! I'm so sorry about that!" Kag said, and with a wave of her hand the Inuyasha-sized crater in the floor wasn't there anymore. She turned to Kagome. "Miko powers. You gotta love 'em."
"Yeah, where's Inu?" Kagome asked. "And San and Mir?"
"They'll be coming in a moment. Ship and Sot (sounds like 'so' with a 't' sound at the end) will be here in a moment too. They're coming with Inu." Kag said.
"Ah." Kagome said. Everyone except for Kagome and Inuyasha looked confused, and most were looking back and forth between Kagome and Kag, trying to figure out who Kag was, why she looked so much like Kagome and which was which. "I'll explain in a minute guys. I promise."
"Fine, but this had better be good." Miroku said. The door opened again and what looked to be another Inuyasha (Inu) walked in, and following him were Sango (San), Miroku (Mir), Shippo (Ship), Soten (Sot), Midoriko (Riko), Kirara (Kitty), Kiala (Kia, for the time being), and Sesshomaru (Sesshy).
"No way, you have got to be kidding me!" Kiala said. Kia looked over and smiled.
"I had a feeling that a reunion like this would happen sooner or later." Sesshy said, smiling.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let the party begin!" San and Mir yelled. A cheer ran out through the crowd on the dance floor and the music started playing again. The past group each got with their future selves and started to talk about random things, but when a member of the past asked a question about something later in their lives, their future selves just shook their head and said that they couldn't do anything.
"Hey Inuyasha, want to dance?" Kagome asked Inuyasha after Kag and Inu walked over to the dance floor.
"Sure…and this is a waltz, right?" Inuyasha asked, his ears twitching at the music.
"Yeah." Kagome said, and she led him out to the dance floor, and they started to dance next to their future selves. They stayed silent and let the music go through their bodies.
Then suddenly, the lights went out. Girls screamed while their dates tried to calm them down. There were a few loud thuds, and then silence. The lights came back on a moment later, and when they did, they saw something that they didn't want to see.
All of the past member's of the Inu-gumi were on the ground unconscious. Kag ran over to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, wake up." Kag said, but Inuyasha didn't move. She sighed, then waved her hand over his chest and Inuyasha eye's opened.
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked. The other's had already been awoken by Riko, and everyone was just standing around looking at him and Kag.
"We don't know." Kag said.
"Wait…" Inuyasha said, sitting up and looking around wildly.
"What? What's wrong?" Sot asked.
"WHERE'S KAGOME?"
