Chapter XVI
Last Time:
Mahadi nods and bows, "It will be an honor to draw my blade in battle once again with my lady at my side." Kagome giggles and bows, "It will be an honor to fight beside you again."
This Time:
Mahadi turns and looks at the crowd assembled in the courtyard behind Kagome and nods before asking softly, "Ano Who are these people?" Kagome looks sheepish then holds a hand out towards Sango calling her foward. "This is Sango a tajiya and one of the sisters I never had," She then becons Hiei forward, "This is My friend Hiei a forbidden child," Then Kurama is ushered forward, "This is Kurama a Kitsune avatar," Yuusuke gets pushed forward now, "Yuusuke a punk with high spiritual energy and Raizen's heir," Kuronue steps forward, "Kuronue an infamous thief brought back to help."
Mahadi bows and is mimiced only by Kurama, Kuronue and Sango.(willingly that is) A stern look from Kagome had Yuuske and Hiei giving shallow bows. Kagome nods then speaks up, "Now that everyone has been introduced we need to get inside and pack bookbags for Yuusuke and Kurama at least. Mine is already packed and everything Sango needs is already there. Hiei and Kuronue can fend for themselves." Hiei and Kuronue look at her with mock horror. Kagome chuckles and turns, she leads the procession back into the house.
Mahadi walking right behind her pretending to be oblivious of the fact that she can feel the one introduced as Kuronue has not stopped staring. She can feel his eyes on her. Kuronue meanwhile has found the perfect reason to walk behind everyone, it gave him a great view without being obvious.
Kagome walks inside and heads directly to her bedroom, gathering to more packs along the way. Gesturing to the phone on her desk, "Anyone need to call family?" After a collective "no" she nods and throws the two packs, one at Yuusuke and the other at Kurama. "Put your clothes in these, it will be easier to tote them this way." Kagome instructs before packing her new clothes and gifts into her pack and sholdering it. Picking up her bow and arrows she wraps the strap of the quiver around her waist leaving the quiver resting against her hip, she then looks at everyone, "Is everyone ready?" She receives a collective "yes" so she leads the way back down and out to the well house.
"I will have to take you through two at a time, stay in the clearing near the well until everyone is on the otherside, then I will take you to Kaede's." Kagome pushes open the well house door and walks inside. Everyone follows, she takes Yuusuke and Kurama by the hand and jumps in, she deposits them in the fuedal era and goes back to retrieve Hiei and Sango, droping them off she returns one last time for Mahadi and Kenorue. She brings them through and is happy that everyone had followed her "advice" to the letter.
