This is iMMATURE again! I feel extremely bored, that's why I decided to write. I know, very inspiring. I'm just finish reading The Rescue and Nights of Rodanthe, both written by Nicholas Sparks. He's a very good writer o.o I love his love stories. Yet, I hate some really mushy things. Yeah I'm weird. If you are looking for a good love story, I recommend The Rescue. Okay, I'm done babbling. Oh and I will just add a disclaimer in case.
DiSCLAiMER – I do not own Inuyasha. If I did, I will be hugging an Inuyasha doll right now. The only characters I own are Mikoto and Sorata and maybe that weird old lady in the first chapter.
Chapter Three:
Returning
Mikoto was on the floor as the demon edged closer. Kagome eyes widened. She looked over at the car where her weapon was kept. "Mikoto run!" Kagome screamed at the girl. Mikoto forced herself to rise and ran away. The spider-demon followed her. It was completely black and just looked like an overgrown tarantula with a face. The voice sounded like a screechy old woman.
What is a demon doing here? Kagome thought. Sorata was running towards his sister. "Sorata, what are you doing?" Kagome said as she ran towards the car. "My sister is there! I have to go save –" The demon jumped in front of Sorata. Sorata immediately froze. The demon spun Sorata into a small cocoon for its later meal. So much for mister hero. Kagome reached to the car. She grabbed her bow and arrow. She aimed at the demon and fired.
It hit the demon's leg. The demon glared at Kagome. "Miko …" Mikoto eyes widened, "Kagome what is that thing?" The demon ran towards Kagome. "You will be a nice dinner." The demon shot a string of silk, Kagome barely avoided it. Part of her shirt was burned. Kagome aimed for the demon again. She shot and the demon dodged. She reached for another arrow. The demon was ready to attack again.
It shot another string. Kagome leapt away. She felt something burning. Her bow was dissolving. Kagome eyes widened, pleading for Inuyasha to come.
Federal Era
Inuyasha felt a sudden sting in his heart. "Kagome …please be safe…" Inuyasha sat near the well, waiting for the girl to come back. He could not help feel that she was in trouble and he was powerless to save her. Inuyasha tried traveling time again. He arrived at Kagome's vacant room once again.
He left "present" time disappointed. Miroku sat on the floor meditating, calming his nerves. Sango paced back and forth and traveled around with Kirara, hoping to calm herself. Shippo moped and Kaede carried out her usual duties.
It had only been a day since Kaede told them that Kagome might never return. Somehow, it seemed an eternity to them. Even though, her usual returns to her time for school work lasted for at least a week. The difference though, they knew that she would return.
If she was gone too long, Inuyasha would fetch her. They all knew though, Inuyasha took the news the hardest. He did not speak a word to them and just sat by the well. Inuyasha knew that he will be unable to stay there for long. He still had to kill Naraku.
Inuyasha tried to shrug the feeling off. He stared at the well, waiting for Kagome to return.
Future
Kagome looked at her bow. The wood had burned. She looked at Mikoto. Mikoto was steadily getting up. She looked at Kagome and glanced at her brother.
"Save my brother" Mikoto mouthed to Kagome. She gathered her courage and shouted at the demon, "FREAK, come and get me!" The demon changed its attention to her and chased after the girl.
Kagome took out an arrow and ran towards Sorata trapped form. She dug the arrow in the web and the bright purple light shone. The web slowly dissolved and Sorata's body was visible. He was unconscious; Kagome laid his body on the floor. She looked around for Mikoto. The girl was screaming her head off as the demon chased after her. Kagome eyes widened when she saw that the demon was setting a trap for her.
A section of the parking lot began to look like a spider web. "Mikoto, get out of the web!" She screamed. Mikoto glanced at Kagome and ran farther down.
Damn, if I don't do anything, Mikoto will be killed by the demon. What can I do? My bow is burned. I don't have much time … damn. Kagome thought. Mikoto was barely visible now. She looked at her surroundings. Not much. Just a car …
Kagome's heart was beating fast. She ran to the car. There has to be something in here. She opened a compartment in the car and found markers, notepad, cigarettes … Cigarettes …There has to be a lighter! She searched through the whole compartment. No lighter. Where could the lighter be? She looked around at the car.
Her eyes drifted to Sorata. She looked at his pocket. Something in his pocket shimmered. She ran towards him and dug through his pocket and pulled out the lighter. Sorata shifted while she did this. Kagome did not have the time to think of how inappropriate that was.
She ran towards the web. She turned on the lighter. She placed the lighter on the web. The fire followed the web. "Mikoto, run away from the web", she screamed as loud as she possible could.
Mikoto continued to run farther down. The demon was inching closer. She was almost out of breath.
The fire closed in. The demon stopped. "Is there something burning?" The demon turned and saw its web being burned. The demon wailed.
It reached towards Mikoto. Kagome stood there, unable to help the girl. The fire blocked her and the demon was about to jump on Mikoto. Kagome grabbed an arrow. She readied herself to throw the arrow. She was almost positive that it would not reach the demon, but this was her only chance of saving her.
The demon jumped towards Mikoto. Mikoto turned and saw the demon inching towards her. "No!" She screamed. She raised her hands up as a sign of defense.
At that moment Kagome threw her arrow. A moment later, a familiar purple light shone. She heard the screams of the demon. The arrow must have hit. She thought. The fire slowly began to die. Mikoto sat there bewildered. Her hands were still in front of her.
Kagome ran towards to the girl. She was shaking. "Ka…ka…Kagome, is it … is it over?"
Kagome hugged her, "Yeah … you are safe now."
They stayed like that for a moment before Mikoto recovered. She got up, "Where is Sorata?" Kagome pointed to him. Mikoto ran towards to him and sighed in relief when she was sure he was fine. He looked a bit burnt, but other than that he will survive with only minor injuries. Mikoto sighed. "I don't think he should remember this. Hey … want to help me make up a bogus story while we head back?"
Kagome laughed and nodded. Kagome put the remains of her bow in the car. Mikoto drove despite her age. They were not spotted though. They returned home safe without a single ticket. Kagome helped Mikoto drag her brother in bed. Since he was not a morning person they did not have to deal with him till the afternoon.
They sat down to have some tea. Mikoto looked at Kagome, "What was that thing? A demon?"
"Actually yes, it was."
"What was that purple light?"
Kagome shifted. Mikoto had seen everything; there was absolutely no point in trying to lie to her. She told her about the well, Inuyasha and the gang, and the Shikon No Tama.
"The Shikon No Tama?"
"Yes, it's a …"
"A very powerful jewel that was said to be made from one extraordinary miko and a bunch of demons, who knew it existed?"
"The thing is … it disappeared."
"How?"
"I don't know …"
"Then you have to return to the federal era and find out!"
"Yeah … I was trying to …"
"Let's go together!"
"Mikoto, it's dangerous. There are a lot more demons, and they are a lot more dangerous …"
"Good morning …" Her brother mumbled.
"Good morning! You overslept again."
"Yeah … I had this dream about this demon attacking us … and …"
The two girls laughed nervously and Mikoto called him "childish" for dreaming such things. They looked at each other, glad they did not have to explain anything to him.
"Nii-chan", Mikoto chirped at Sorata.
Sorata sighed, "What is it?"
"I'm going to Kagome's place for two weeks. I will be back for school shopping. Tell mom and dad that I'm sleeping at Karin's place."
Sorata looked at his sister, "What makes you think I will allow you to go and lie to mom and dad?"
"Mom still doesn't know you took money from my college savings to help pay off your car." She said rather innocently.
"Done," Sorata muttered.
"Bye Sorata!" Mikoto said and kissed her brother on the cheek.
"Yeah yeah," Sorata said shaking his head.
Mikoto walked Kagome to the shrine with a full bag of food. She also had a bag with her. It was a black bag that only held her laptop.
A light shimmered into the shrine. "Um, what is …" Mikoto pointed at the hole.
"I kind of created that." Kagome laughed nervously.
Mikoto leaned on the edge of the well. "Kagome, what is the federal era like? Do all the guys have ponytails? Do the girls wear kimono? I always wanted to wear one … Oh … Wait for a second." Mikoto ran back into her house.
She came back with a bow in her hand. It was an old bow, but the wood was polished so often it looked brand new. She gave the bow to Kagome. "Since yours burned, I think you could use this one.
Kagome shook her head. "No, I couldn't. This must be some ancient heirloom or something."
"Nope, my dad was planning to sell it. We mind as well put it to use."
"Thank you", Kagome said smiling.
Mikoto smiled, "Let's go then!"
Kagome held Mikoto back, "I don't think you will be able to …"
"I'll be fine. Besides I want to meet Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara. They sound such cool people. Come on! I bet they are waiting for you." She grabbed Kagome's wrist and they jumped in together.
Kagome felt the warm light when she traveled through time.
"Ow ow ow ow", Mikoto said rubbing her butt. "Do you go through this every time?"
"I learn to stand." Kagome said as she helped Mikoto get up.
They climbed out of the well. Mikoto looked at the well, "Hey, the well was beaten up eighty years ago. So, it wasn't my fault." Kagome gave her a weird look.
"I was three and I did not know about the shrine's history yet."
Kagome smiled and she looked at the well again. Mikoto was right; the well did look beat up because of Inuyasha. She remembered when Inuyasha stuck a tree in the well to keep her from coming back.
They headed for Kaede's hut. Kagome opened the door and found something small collided with her. It grabbed onto her uniform with sobs. "Kagome!" Shippo sobbed. Miroku looked up, "Kagome, you're back."
"Where is Inuyasha?"
"He went with Sango somewhere. They should be back soon."
"Kagome!" Sango entered the hut and hugged her friend.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and quickly looked away, "Where were you …?" he said rudely.
Mikoto felt invisible and she kept it like that. She slowly exited the hut past Inuyasha and Sango. When everyone finally let Kagome have air she smiled, "I have someone I would like you to meet …" She turned and found Mikoto gone.
Kagome ran out of the hut. "Mikoto!"
She looked around and was unable to spot her.
"Kagome, what's wrong?"
"There was a girl with me, she had long hair … it almost looks like purple in the sunlight and she was wearing jeans, a bright blue shirt …"
"Hi Kagome, the villagers asked me if I could help them carry some of their crops." Mikoto chirped.
"Is this the fair maiden?" Miroku inched towards her.
"Is this your cousin?" Sango asked.
"Feh … we don't need another nuisance."
"Sit boy." Kagome commanded.
Mikoto backed away from the monk, "You must be Miroku."
"You must have heard great things about me from Kagome."
"Actually I heard you were a leech. Three feet away please."
Miroku sighed. Sango smiled at the girl. "Hi, I'm …"
"Sango. Kagome told me you were a demon slayer. Do you have a cool weapon for that?" Mikoto said as she rushed to Sango.
"This is Mikoto, my friend."
Mikoto went towards Inuyasha. "What are you? A wolf? You look funky."
Inuyasha looked at her, "Wh–"
"Sit boy." "This is Inuyasha, he is a dog."
"Cool he sat. Sit boy, sit boy." Mikoto frowned when nothing happened.
"What is this wr–"
"Sit boy." "He only listens to me." Kagome said proudly.
Mikoto laughed.
She looked at Shippo. "Who is this little guy?"
"This is Shippo."
"Let me guess, you protect everyone here?" Mikoto smiled sweetly.
Shippo blushed, "Of course, I'm the strongest one here unlike that no good Inuyasha."
"Are you a miko like Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"A miko? I don't think so. I just wanted to see how the federal era looked like."
"Kagome, do you need anything to pass through time?"
"I don't know."
Mikoto looked at them, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Kagome passed through time because she had a gift. She is the reincarnation of a miko named Kikyo."
"Cool," Mikoto said simply.
She turned and wondered off. "She is kind of adventurous." Kagome said, trying to explain Mikoto's sudden departure.
Inuyasha finally got up, "What was that for?" He shouted.
Kagome ignored him and headed followed Mikoto.
"What is her problem?" Inuyasha pouted. "Inuyasha, you must be happy to see Kagome." Miroku said. "Feh", Inuyasha looked away.
"Mikoto, where are you going?" Kagome shouted. Mikoto turned around, "There is a forest. I want to …" Kagome quickly pulled Mikoto back to the field. "There are demons there, it isn't safe." Mikoto shrugged, "They can't be half as bad as the one we saw." She ventured in the forest. Kagome reluctantly followed her.
Inuyasha sniffed the air. "Where is Kagome?"
"She went off with her friend somewhere," Sango said stroking Kirara.
"The demonic aura coming from the forest is slightly stronger" Miroku said eyeing the forest.
Inuyasha got up and ran towards the forest. The two looked at each other and followed him, riding Kirara.
Kagome sighed, "This isn't a place for hiking, we should return to the village."
Mikoto shook her head. "It is pretty peaceful here, I like it."
Kagome looked around. The sun was hitting on Mikoto's hair. Her hair shone the dark purple again. It was pretty and alluring.
The more she walked with Mikoto, the more her hair attracted her. It was rather strange. Kagome was unable to explain the feeling. She was with Mikoto for two days and she never felt this before.
The air began to thicken. Mikoto seemed to feel it too because she began to slow down. "Kagome … I think we should go back now …" Kagome seconded it and turned to leave. She heard hissing and cries.
Kagome looked around and slowly walked forward. "Mikoto, let's run."
"Good idea …"
Inuyasha went into the forest. "I smell Kagome's scent. She is in the forest."
"Where?" The two asked him.
Inuyasha ran deeper in the forest. Ahead of them they saw a bright purple light. "That must be Kagome's arrows." Sango said.
"She didn't bring her arrows." Miroku said as he held out Kagome's barrel of arrows for Sango to see. They glanced at each other and ran to the light.
Dead demons were everywhere and Miroku felt the presence of some demolished demons. In the middle were an unconscious Kagome and Mikoto.
Who is this girl? Miroku thought.
They brought them back to the hut. Kagome and Mikoto awoke around the same time.
"What happened?" Miroku asked. Kagome glanced at Mikoto and then at Shippo. "Shippo, could you please take Mikoto out?" Shippo gladly took the job and dragged the young girl out of the hut.
Kagome sat up and looked at them, then looked down. "Naraku's demons attacked us."
"Did he try to capture you again?" Inuyasha said jumping up.
Kagome shook her head, "He wanted … he wanted … Mikoto …"
