The Quest: Demons Return
Author's Notes: Here's Chapter 1 in Demons Return! I hope you all enjoy! Please review and no flames.
NOTE: Al is not Miroku's reincarnation!
ANSWERING REVIEWS:
Kurama's Foxy Miko: Well Naraku has a son… because… well will wait for that answer when you go deeper to the story. It'll practically tell about how Naraku had a son so just be patient. Oh as for Kagura, that'll be a secret why she wants to avenge Naraku's death… you'll have to wait for that.
Lycosyncer: Kagura despises Naraku before but you don't know why she wanted to avenge his death… so that'll be a mystery for now so wait until we get deeper into the story. Now for your questions, yes the gang will reunite once again to stop the demons from creating an apocalyptic world. Then your second question about Inuyasha, yes Inuyasha will have a great role in this story. It will get deeper about Inuyasha's life when the Prequels come. One is when his mother died and he tried to do forbidden alchemy but was stopped by his father. He then was mysteriously gifted when the Philosopher's Stone went into his body. Next is about when he met (and fell in love) Kikyo and wanted the Shikon Jewel. Then that is where the problem beginnings. In this story, I will not bash Inuyasha and Kikyo for any reasons because it's just wrong. Kikyo will make a great role in this story to make it better. I think that's it, thanks for the review.
Inuyasha Friend: Well welcome back! I see you made an account and I already read 2 of your stories and I say it's hilarious, I hope you keep on reading here because it will get really good.
Neros Urameshi: Hey welcome back! Thanks for the review and make sure you come back for this chapter!
As for the other reviewers, thanks for reviewing hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 1: An Ordinary Life
-Japan: Kagome's Time, 1999-
After two years before she left… she had an ordinary life for now. 17-year-old Kagome Higurashi walked along the street with some grocery bags. It was late summer in Japan and she just got ready for her new school. Kagome changed a bit now; her black hair got longer which was almost reached the end of her back.
So when Kagome's working or shopping, she would wear a ponytail, but she mostly put it down.
"What a day!" Kagome sighed as she held her heavy grocery bag. She then looked up at the sky. It was another clear and hot day. Kagome sighed heavily as her sweat pour down her cheeks. "Man I wish it wasn't this hot…" Kagome groaned as she look at the ground.
"Kagome hey!" 2 voices shouted behind her. Kagome turned around and saw her friends Eri and Yuka (A/N: They aren't my OC, they were Kagome's friends in the series. Just telling you if you don't know them). Eri was a girl with black shoulder-length hair and was wearing a yellow headband. Then there was Yuka; she was a girl who had black short hair.
"Yuka! Emi! Hi, oh and where's Ayumi?" Kagome asked looking for her other friend. Emi's eyes became sad, "Well Ayumi had to move somewhere, so she won't be with us this coming school year." Emi explained. Yuka agreed. Kagome frowned, "Oh, I didn't get to say good-bye…"
"It's okay Kagome, we gave her your address so you'll get to mail her!" Yuka smiled. Kagome giggled, "Thanks guys, but I have to go right now… I'm very busy!" Emi and Yuka looked at her, "Kagome wait!" Kagome twitched a bit, she hated when they did that. She put on a smile, "Yes?"
"So Kagome… had any boyfriends lately?" Emi asked. Kagome blushed like a tomato, she couldn't forget about her one guy she met 2 years ago who was named Edward Elric. Kagome still hadn't told her friends for two years! What will she say now?
"Uhh…" That was the only word she said. Her heart started pounding a bit. "Kagome are you okay?" Emi asked as she put a hand on her shoulder. Kagome turned to Emi and put on a cheerful face to hide her blush. "Yeah, I'm fine! Look, I really need to go!" Kagome then started running off.
Emi and Yuka looked at each other, they knew something is suspicious but they tend to find out some other time. Kagome looked back at her two friends who were chattering away. She knew that they were exactly talking about her and her secret boyfriend. Right now Kagome thought deeply about Ed, Al, Winry, and her other friends. She also thought about… Inuyasha, Kikyo, Shippo, and her Feudal Era friends. She tries to visit them time-to-time but right now she has school plans.
Kagome looked up at the sky and quietly whispered, "Edward… I wonder how you're doing right now with Al and Winry?" As she stared at the sky.
"Kagome!" A voice interrupted her thoughts. Kagome looked behind her and saw Hojo. Kagome sighed and sweat dropped. She then put on a cheerful smile, "Hojo hey! How's summer going so far for you?" Hojo smiled thinking her joy was real and said, "Wonderful, how about yours?" he asked.
Kagome cheerfully smiled, "Well everything seems fine, I was just getting ready for a new school year!" Hojo laughed, "Kagome I was wondering if you could go out with me tomorrow, to watch a movie?" Kagome's eyes widened, and suddenly in her head popped out Ed's big toothy-grin. Kagome couldn't refuse Ed. She already loved him.
"Hojo I'm so sorry, but I'm busy tomorrow with my family maybe some other time." Kagome smiled a bit. Hojo's eyes hit the ground, "Oh okay Kagome, and see you later!" Hojo then ran off. Kagome looked at Hojo from the distance and frowned, "Hojo, will you just get another girl… not me…" Kagome then carried her stuff and walked down the street to her house.
-Feudal Era: Under the God-tree-
"Kikyo!" A little voice came. Kikyo the Priestess looked around and saw Shippo running up to her. Kikyo smiled and kneeled down so she can face him. Shippo sighed, "I miss Kagome, Al, Winry, Nina, and Ed…" Shippo then formed little tears in his eyes. Kikyo frowned for she too missed them.
"Shippo don't worry, will find away to see them again. Kagome is visiting today too…" Kikyo put on a smile and hugged the little kitsune. Shippo started crying, Kikyo tried to calm him down. "I want to see Nina and Ed again, when will we see them again?" Shippo asked.
Kikyo looked at Shippo, "Shippo I don't know, right now there is a mysterious barrier that guarded the Sacred Well after we left. Humans, Goblins, demons, even me can't go through the barrier. There must be a secret magic to break it." Kikyo explained. Shippo then started crying.
Sango and Miroku came with some food; they saw Shippo crying in Kikyo's arms. "What's wrong with Shippo, Kikyo?" Miroku asked. Kikyo looked up at Miroku, "Shippo misses Ed, Al, Winry, and Nina very much and he wants to go back." Sango kneeled down next to Kikyo and Shippo. "Oh Shippo, don't worry… will find a way to get the barrier broken." Sango smiled.
Miroku then looked at the horizon, the sun was setting early. "Kagome should be her by now, she said she will be here before the sun sets." The others looked at the horizon as well. "Hey where's Inuyasha?" Sango asked Kikyo. Kikyo answered, "He's on top of the God-tree sleeping, he'll wake up soon." Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked up at the top of the God-tree and saw Inuyasha asleep.
-Kagome's House-
Kagome put her stuff on the couch and sighed heavily. She looked at the time, it was 4:30 pm. She promised she'd meet her Feudal Era friends! She then went upstairs and put on a golden kind of t-shirt and a black skirt. She brushed her hair and went back downstairs. Then her mom greeted her, "Oh hello sweetie, how was your day shopping?"
"It was fine mom, but now I have to go!" Kagome smiled and kissed her on the cheek real quick and before she ran out she yelled, "Mom don't forget to feed Buyo for me okay? Thanks!" After that note she ran out of her house and went to the shrine.
-Feudal Era-
Shippo was quietly playing with rocks and the grass. He was waiting patiently for Kagome to come out of the Bone Eater's Well. Then he spotted a butterfly, he wanted to catch it but then he remembered. He used to catch butterflies with Alphonse and Nina. He sat down and frowned. Then he saw the Well started to glow and there came out Kagome with a tiring face.
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled happily as he hugged Kagome tightly. Kagome hugged him back, "Hi Shippo, I missed you!" Kagome smiled. "Me too," Shippo let go and tears formed, "I also miss Ed… Al… Winry… and Nina!" Kagome's eyes became real sad, she too miss them very dearly and it was already 2 years since they last seen them.
"Oh Shippo, I miss them too… I really miss them…" Kagome sighed sadly as she carried Shippo in her arms. "Are you going to try to break the barrier that guards the Sacred Well?" Shippo asked. Kagome looked at Shippo, "I don't know if I can break it Shippo, I couldn't ever go through it." Kagome said. She later saw in the distance… Sango, Miroku, Kikyo, and Inuyasha.
"Kagome welcome back!" Inuyasha smirked. Kagome smiled, "Hey guys, I came just as I can." Sango, Miroku, and Kikyo smiled at Kagome. They were happy that she was back. There were a few changes in the gang after they left Ed's world. Miroku became less as a pervert and was able to control his wind tunnel, Sango became more skilled and powerful being a demon Exterminator, Kikyo was able to sense things quickly and was turned into a happy priestess, Shippo grew a bit taller and he was braver but a softy… last but not least was Inuyasha, he held a shard of the Philosopher's Stone in his body and he was less arrogant as he was before.
Everyone had practically changed after they left Ed's world… for two years they hadn't miss them. They couldn't forget about them. No matter how they tried to move on, happy memories kept coming back. The gang missed Edward Elric the most since he destroyed Naraku by sacrificing his whole power to them. Kagome missed him the most. She loved him and couldn't forget what he looked like and his voice.
Miroku, Sango, and Kikyo couldn't forget about Winry and Al; they helped them a lot in the battle. Shippo also couldn't forget the tragedy about Nina and Alexander becoming a chimera together. He was still full of hatred and wanted revenge on Shou Tucker but he stopped. As for Inuyasha and Kagome, the both missed the hero who saved them two years ago and that was the Fullmetal Alchemist.
"So Kagome how's your studies so far?" Sango asked trying to make a conversation. Kagome sighed, "Tough and hard. I still have to buy more school stuff! What a drag!" The gang giggled at the tiring Kagome. Kikyo saw the pain in Kagome's eyes, she can tell she really missed Ed. "You still miss him do you?" Kikyo asked quietly. Kagome looked up at Kikyo but she glanced back on the ground.
"Yes… I do… we all do…" Kagome whispered. The gang also looked at the ground, they too couldn't forget. "Guys we have to move on sometime…" Miroku sighed. They looked at Miroku with pain in their eyes. Miroku frowned, "I admit it, I can't move on… I can't forget…" Shippo tried not to cry but he shouted…
"I WANT TO GO BACK, I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT NINA, EDWARD, ALPHONSE, AND WINRY! KAGOME? ANYONE PLEASE BREAK THE BARRIER!" Shippo cried in Kagome's arms. Shippo couldn't take it. Kagome hugged Shippo tightly and tears formed in her eyes too.
"Shippo we all miss them but… I don't know how will get back there…" Kagome started crying a bit. Sango and Kikyo approached them and comfort them. Miroku and Inuyasha approached them slowly and tried to comfort them too. "Feh! Will try to break the barrier right?" Inuyasha smirked as he showed his fangs. "Will show that stupid barrier who's strong!" Inuyasha then made a triumph pose but was bonk by Miroku's staff for his stupid antics.
"Inuyasha be serious now…" Miroku sighed. Inuyasha then made his usual "feh" and sat down crossed leg on the ground. Kikyo sighed, "Inuyasha… please…" As Kagome was hugging Shippo she sensed something in the air, like something was going to happen badly in the future. She stood frozen as she sense deeper. Kikyo also did the same, for she too senses something. But then it stopped.
Kagome looked at Kikyo, "Kikyo did you feel that?" she asked. Kikyo nodded, "Yes I did, whatever it is we must be cautious…"
-In The Cave-
Whatever that was, it was watching them… quietly… trying to make a right move in the future. That "thing or things" was Koi, Kagura, and Kohaku… watching them with a magic mirror that was retrieve. It used to be Kanna's but now it was Koi's. They watched Kagome and Kikyo. They knew they sensed the danger in the air.
"I really want to attack them…" Koi smirked as his piercing red eyes stared at them. "We will…" Kagura said. Kagura was eager to destroy them once and for all, she used to despise Naraku but when his son was finally MADE, she decided that his son should overcome his power…
"Father, I will not fail… you… I will destroy those brats and get the Philosopher's Stone and the Shikon Jewel!" Koi smirked as he laughed evilly…
Author's Notes: What's Koi planning? And does the gang know about this? Where are Ed, Al, and Winry? Will they reunite once again and will the barrier be destroyed? Please review and be on a look out on the next chapter of THE QUEST: DEMONS RETURN!
