Well, now you all get to see what happens next. Congratulations.
Chapter Three: Kagome's Surprise
I fell asleep a few minutes after I woke up in the middle of the night. I was so warm with the blankets tucked up under my chin. Even though all the troubling things that I went through were fresh in my memory, I slept very well. Though, I did have a couple bad dreams... That's why I woke up in the middle of the night.
Well, anyway... I woke up a while later, after it seemed that everyone had left the hut. I slowly sat up and pushed hair out of my face. No one was there... except for the covered body. I knew that we were going to have a funeral soon. We have to bury the body.
I got up and walked outside, the sun shining onto my face. My eyes felt sore and stingy from crying the other day. They hurt like I put a little bit of soap into them. Soap hurts. I looked around and saw silver hair shining in the distance. InuYasha. I walked over there, not knowing what he was doing. Did he know how much he helped me the other day? I wish he did... but I am much to shy to say anything about that. I couldn't do that.
I walked over to InuYasha and he turned around, knowing I was there. He probably smelt me or something. "Kagome..." InuYasha said, looking at me carefully. I blinked a couple times and looked at the ground. "We're going to bury him in a little while. We found a spot in the graveyard near the forest."
"InuYasha... After we... bury him... I would like to go home and rest for a little while... all right?" I asked, hesitant on what he would say.
InuYasha nodded and said, "That would be for the best. You need to take care of yourself and rest for a while."
The rest of the day went by slowly, and soon we were burying him. Miroku knelt down next to his grave and said a small prayer, and I sat down next to the burial spot also, holding onto a small bouquet of flowers. After Miroku said his prayer, I put the bouquet on the grave. InuYasha saw sun glint off of something in the group of flowers, and looked at me. Yeah. I put the arrow in the flowers. Weird, right? Well, who cares what you think! I didn't need the arrow anyway...
"Come on. Let's go," InuYasha said, turning around quickly. Sango and Miroku quickly followed, and soon Shippo went after them. "Come on, Kagome!" InuYasha yelled at me, and I slowly got up and turned around, following the others.
We left the village promptly and started to walk towards Kaede's village. It was a ways away, so we would be walking for a while. Hopefully we wouldn't run into any demons on the way. I hope not. I don't want to do anything at the moment, except leave...
I hardly remember what we were doing or where we were when we were attacked by a demon. I just remember Shippo screaming and jumping up on my shoulder, my backpack falling on the ground and I snapped out of a trance I seemed to be in. I looked around and realized I had my bow and arrow with me. I took my bow and gasped when the demon (who was a gross green color and screamed really loudly) flew towards me, looking a lot like a dragon. I jumped out of the way and it flew away, and went towards InuYasha, holding one of it's giant claws out. I got an arrow and fumbled with it before pulling it back on the string. Sango threw her boomerang, though it was knocked aside by the demon's giant tail. The tail went all over the place, and it hit Miroku and Sango, knocking them against the trees and rendering them unconscious. "Sango! Miroku!" yelled out Shippo, as he ran over to them to help.
The demon had InuYasha held against a tree by his neck. I pulled on the arrow and almost let go, until the memory of shooting Kane in the stomach hit me hard. I stood there, hesitating, before InuYasha shouted at me. "Kagome! Shoot it!" My eyes widened and I aimed, before letting go of the arrow. It went straight through the demon's head, making the demon turn into ash and let go of InuYasha. InuYasha dropped to the ground and looked at me. I swear I could see a little bit of disappointment in his eyes. I looked at the ground, not being able to take his stare. "Kagome?"
InuYasha looked at me and walked over to where I was standing. He turned around and looked at Shippo. "Shippo, protect Miroku and Sango until they wake up. Tell them I took Kagome ahead to bring her to her home," InuYasha explained. I picked up my backpack from the ground and walked over to InuYasha, who crouched down so I could get on his back. Shippo started to whine, but InuYasha instantly started to run once I was on his back. He almost flew all the way, jumping on top of trees and speeding through the air.
Though he usually didn't talk while he was running, he decided to this time. "Kagome, I think the guilt is getting to you. You need to forget about it," InuYasha said. I nodded, but I didn't really understand what he was saying. It didn't really mean anything to me.
Soon InuYasha landed softly on the ground, and I looked around. We were a little ways away from the Bone-Eater's Well. I jumped off of InuYasha's back and started to walk towards the well.
"You better hurry up, woman! I can't wait forever," InuYasha said. I stopped and smiled slightly. I went over to the well and jumped in, letting my body relax as I flew through the well.
I landed on the bottom of the well and climbed up using the latter there. I'm glad I put that latter there. It makes it so much easier. I wish that everything could be that easy.
I got out of the well and walked outside, breathing in deeply. I sighed. This air wasn't nearly as fresh as the air in the feudal era. I got a little bit of a headache from it now. I put my hand to my forehead and then heard a little meow. It must be Buyo. Hm. I love that cat. I looked down and gasped in surprise.
This wasn't like any cat I'd seen in this era... This looked a lot like Kirara... Except she had three tails instead of two. Otherwise, she looked exactly like Kirara. I looked at her, and she looked at me. I blinked a couple times and almost fainted. There were no demons in my era!
I ran over to the house, the cat demon following me, and I ran inside. "MOM! WHAT IS GOING ON?" I shouted, almost shaking the whole house.
My mom walked into the room, slightly startled at my sudden outburst and appearance.
"Why, Kagome! You're back... But what's wrong?" Mama asked, looking at me carefully. I pointed at the three-tailed cat. "Oh."
HOLY CRAP OH MY GOD HOLY HELL WHY IS THERE A DEMON! oO;;; You get to find that out in the next chapter.
Sorry the chapter was short. It had long paragraphs, but it was only three pages! Well, I had these chapters planned out before hand, so I cant be too angry at myself.
Next Chapter: Why is there a demon in Kagome's era! You get to find that out, like I said in the last two sentences! OMFG!
