Chapter 2: Meeting the Inutatchi
Kagome explained quickly and Taiya could hardly believe most of it, so after a long discussion they came to a truce. Kagome would show Taiya that what she said was real and Taiya would join them in their travels in the feudal era. After running with Kagome clear across town they finally reached their destination, Kagome's house, the Higurashi shrine. They hurried up all the steps leading to Kagome's home and headed right towards the middle building. Taiya looked around as she followed Kagome and saw a nice clean yard with three buildings, and a very large tree. As she looked at the tree something about it seemed very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Before Taiya could think about it too much they had reached the house, Kagome opened the door and pulled Taiya inside after her, "I'm home! Mom! Where's Grampa?" A woman, apparently her mother, came walking out of the kitchen; "He's near the old-bone eaters well. And why aren't you at school young lady?"
"I found her mom. The sealing priestess. I'm going to take her to meet the others, Taiya would you give my mom your phone number?" replied Kagome excitedly. Taiya only nodded my head and wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to Kagome's mom. "We'll be back in a few days! See yah latter mom, say bye to Sota for me!" said Kagome, and then she drug Taiya out of the house and towards another building. "What are we doing going into a well anyway...I mean, isn't there something else?" Taiya asked, beginning to get worried. " I'll explain it all later, right now I'm taking you to meet a few friends of mine, don't worry! " answered Kagome smiling again as they reached the doors of the next building.
Kagome opened the doors and they walked inside, she then shut the door and said "Grampa? Are you in here?" It was fairly dark but Taiya could make out the shape of a square well, and the form of an old man, who turned to face them while saying, "Hello Kagome, all your stuff is packed and ready! Oh, and who is this you have with you?" "This is Taiya, she's the binding priestess. I'm taking her to meet the others! Taiya, this is my Grampa, he's a little nuts but he's alright," Kagome laughed a little. "Really? Well that didn't take long did it. It's nice to meet you Taiya, I hope you'll get along well with the others. I'll see you later then," said her Grampa as he left through the door leaving Kagome and Taiya all alone in the room. "Well, let's get going then," said Kagome picking up a stuffed backpack and pulling Taiya with her towards the well. Kagome then got ready to jump into the well and said "Hold on!" and with that they both jumped!
Once they landed Kagome began climbing out of the well and Taiya followed her, once she was out of the well she turned to ask Kagome what was going on but instead Taiya saw a guy standing there. She couldn't stop staring at him, his ears, his outfit, his claws, and his hair. 'Who is this guy and why does he look like a dog!' Taiya questioned herself as Kagome said "Taiya, I'd like you to meet InuYasha. InuYasha, this is Taiya, the binding priestess! InuYasha here is a half-demon, if you haven't noticed that already. " Taiya raised her eyebrows thinking 'where the heck am I? Some kind of dream world?' "So she is the binding priestess? Hmmm, well personally I don't like the looks of her. Is she trustworthy?" asked InuYasha skeptically.
"And what's wrong with me? I at least look normal, unlike you dog boy!" replied Taiya angrily, 'who is he to judge my appearance!' "Dog Boy! Why you little..." said InuYasha, trailing off as he began to draw his sword. "Sit Boy!" yelled Kagome, as soon as she uttered those words InuYasha suddenly flew at the ground face first, unable to stop himself in time. Taiya couldn't help but laugh at him and he growled out, "why Kagome?" "Now, InuYasha, that's no way to treat a lady, especially one so pretty! Hello Taiya, I am the monk Miroku and by any chance would you mind bearing my child?" said a guy in monks robes as he approached me.
"Huh?" questioned Taiya, confused. "Don't mind him, he asks ever girl he meets that question. I am Sango the demon slayer and this is my friend Kilala, she is a demon cat and she's very friendly!" said a woman as she slapped Miroku on the back of his head, and sure enough next to her was a small cat. "It's a pleasure, to meet..." Taiya began but was interrupted by a young boys voice that said, "Hey! Don't forget about me!" "We would never forget you Shippo!" said Kagome picking up a little kid. But when Taiya got a better look at him, she saw that he had fox feet and a big and bushy foxtail! "Hi Taiya I'm Shippo!" said the kid, Taiya then replied "Hello Shippo, uh... are you a fox demon?"
"Yes, I am! You're the first person to ever say that in barely meeting me. I like you!" cried Shippo leaping at Taiya quickly. She caught him and was really surprised when he began hugging her softly. Taiya smiled and gave him a little kiss on his cheek saying, "That's for being so sweet to me, you little cutie!" Shippo's eyes grew large and his face went all red, Miroku then walked closer and asked " Can I have a kiss too? Please!" Taiya raised her eyebrows and said, "uh... sure?" She then leaned in and kissed his cheek quickly and then she pulled back. Miroku was smiling dreamily and Sango's face was reddened, she then smacked him on the back of the head angrily.
Miroku then asked, " What was that for?" "To stop those lecherous thoughts of yours! It was just a friendly kiss nothing more so stop acting so ... oh, just forget it!" complained Sango. "Sango?" asked Miroku seriously. Sango looked at him, "Yes?" "You know your the only one for me, there's no need to be jealous." replied Miroku grabbing Sango's hand and rubbing it against the side of his face. Sango began to growl and slapped Miroku hard on his cheek then she turned away angrily. "Are they always this way?" Taiya asked Shippo. "Yes! Kagome and InuYasha are the same way too, madly in love!" answered Shippo shaking his head disappointedly.
"What did you say you little runt?" growled InuYasha angrily punching Shippo. Kagome cried out, "Stop it Inu Yasha!" And then those two began arguing. Taiya shook her head and then she felt something weird, yet very familiar! It was far away, but it felt so real even at this distance! "Do you feel that?" she asked aloud. "Feel what?" replied Shippo. "I don't know but it's far over there!" replied Taiya, pointing. "It's gotta be a jewel shard!" said InuYasha excitedly. "A jewel what?" Taiya questioned confused.
" This is what he means!" said Kagome pulling out a small jar that had four small slivers in it. Taiya felt the same feeling coming from those slivers as she did the feeling in the distance. "Yeah that's what I sence there's three of those slivers far over there!" she said pointing again. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" InuYasha grabbed Kagome and pulled her onto his back while Taiya watched confused. "Here, we had best keep up, unless we fall behind." Taiya looked to her side to see Miroku holding his hand out. Taiya took it and was pulled onto Kilala in her larger form. Once all of them were situated, they speed off after the others.
