Shikon Cruise

Locked up and saving Mitzuki part 2

Last time on Shikon Cruise

InuYasha nodded his head as Kagome started to wake up…

Present time

"Kagome! Kagome, can you hear me?!" InuYasha asked frantically, Kagome nodded her head slightly.

Mitzuki came up and held Kagome's hand, she squeezed it and felt Kagome squeeze back, Kagome came to in a few minutes.

"Urgh…I hate headaches…" Kagome mumbled.

"I'm so glad you're awake…" Julia smiled, Kagome smiled back.

"Oh this is the little girl, Mitzuki's mother." InuYasha filled in when he saw Kagome's slight confusion.

"I wanted to thank you for everything." Julia said to Kagome, Kagome nodded and smiled brightly.

"It was my pleasure, are you alright Mitzuki?" Kagome asked the now awake little girl, Mitzuki nodded her head, her dark brown hair swaying with her, her bright hazel eyes sparkling yet held a story of pain, and sorrow…so much sadness for a girl so young to have felt already.

"Mitzuki doesn't speak she's mute." InuYasha explained.

"Oh…I see…" Kagome said sadly.

"Well I must go; I have to drop her off at the daycare…" Julia said as she stood up and brushed some grass off of her skirt, Mitzuki nodded her head no, and tried to hide behind Kagome.

"Please Mitzuki we need to, I have an important meeting today." Julia pleaded.

"Um...we can look after her! We'll stay till whatever time you want! We can even stay by the office if you want, or whatever!" Kagome said in a rush.

"Um…I don't really know…" Julia said, InuYasha knew it must have been hard, I mean with people beating up her daughter everyday and then just putting her with some people she barely knew.

"Julia, may I speak with you for a moment?" InuYasha asked, he took Julia over to a small clearing close by and talked her into letting them take care of Mitzuki, Kagome and Mitzuki were watching some ants carry small bits of leaves up an oak tree.

"See, ants are really strong, even though their small, so be an ant, show people you can do more then what they think." Kagome winked at Mitzuki, Mitzuki smiled and let out a small giggle, When Julia saw this she agreed, and told them to meet back here in about 6-7 hours.

Julia waved and kissed Mitzuki on the cheek.

"Ok so what are we going to do? Mitzuki, what do you wanna do?" Kagome asked as she held the little girls hands, Mitzuki just stared at her,

"Ok…how about we play a game, we walk around town and whatever you wanna do squeeze my hand ok?" Kagome asked, Mitzuki smiled and nodded.

InuYasha walked beside them, his hands behind his neck and he rolled his eyes.

"InuYasha…thanks for worrying…" Kagome whispered softly, InuYasha stared at her in surprise and then smiled.

"Hey what are you doing with a half-breed?" Asked a group of high schoolers, there were about 6 of them, 4 guys and 2 girls.

"What do you care?" Kagome asked in a harsh voice, she put Mitzuki behind her.

"Well, if you were true Japanese, you wouldn't even touch her; let us take her off your hands." One of the boys said.

"How about no?" InuYasha stepped in front of the two, he glared at them, the boys back off a little and the girls just whispered among themselves.

"We're not scared of you, I mean look you're a freak too, what the hell it's up with your silver hair?" One brave…or stupid boy said.

"You should be scared, because I'm gonna make you cry." InuYasha's anger was clear as rain, the boys started to get scared, "Hay man, we didn't mean anything." The boys ran off with the girls behind them.

"Well…shows you how many people are still so prejudice…" Kagome shook her head; she felt some water and looked up to see rain falling.

"I guess we better find a place to go." InuYasha said, Kagome shook her head.

"No way! Rain is awesome! Come on Mitzuki I'll show you how great the rain really is!" Kagome smiled as she pulled Mitzuki into the street and started dancing in the rain, it was coming down hard but yet gentle. Mitzuki started laughing and danced along InuYasha just stood there, he's mouth wide open and a perplexed look on his face.

"InuYasha come on!" Kagome waved him over, she took Mitzuki's hand into hers and they started dancing some more, InuYasha sighed and ran over to the two crazy people dancing in the street. He stood next to them but didn't dance, so then Kagome took his hands with Mitzuki and they both tried to get him to dance. He laughed but didn't move.

Soon some more teens, parents and children joined them; they all started dancing and laughing, mingling and talking.

Kagome laughed as she dragged InuYasha and Mitzuki out of the crowd.

"I never thought everyone would start dancing to." Kagome laughed, Mitzuki was laughing as well, InuYasha just shook his head, and they walked and passed an Ice cream store, when Mitzuki squeeze Kagome's hand.

Kagome looked up to see the ice cream store.

"Do you want some?" Kagome asked, Mitzuki nodded slowly and Kagome smiled.

"Alright then! Ice cream it is! InuYasha your treat!" Kagome said as she and Mitzuki marched into the store.

"Hey wait! I never agreed!" InuYasha yelled running after the two, Mitzuki laughed when Kagome got a table and InuYasha sat down.

"I hate you." InuYasha murmured to Kagome, Kagome just smiled and said,

"I love you too!"

"Ok I'm gonna go and order, it'll take a while since they have a freaking huge line!" Kagome sighed as she took InuYasha's wallet and went into the line.

"Hey!" InuYasha yelled, Kagome just winked and stuck her tongue out.

"Oh boy…" InuYasha thought, Mitzuki giggled, InuYasha smiled and put his arms on the table.

"So…why won't you talk?" InuYasha said bluntly, Mitzuki looked down at her fingers and swung her foot.

"Well let me tell you…I was like you once, I stopped talking for almost 5 months when I was younger, My uncle, he hated me with every fiber of his being, so he beat me, I was scared I didn't like to talk, some kids picked on me too, because I wouldn't talk."

"But then I entered middle school and made a friend, Miroku, he was the greatest, he never saw me as anything lower then him, he would gladly stand up for me. One day when I was getting picked on by some kids, Miroku stopped them, I asked him why, I mean I never talked to him and I usually ignored him, but he always talked to me anyway, I asked him why he always looked out for me, that was the first words I ever spoke to him and he said it was because I was his best friend, from that day on, I realized just because I was different, my hair was a weird color, it didn't matter cause I had a best friend and I tried my hardest to make sure I repaid him back."

"I think that you can't really get out of what your in until you have someone tell you their your friend and that they like you for you, so Mitzuki…I like you, and I want to be friends…do you want to as well?" InuYasha asked, Mitzuki had tears in her eyes and she went over to InuYasha, sat in his lap and cried as she hugged him.

"Y-Yes…I…really do…I…w-want…t-to be f-friends!" Mitzuki cried, InuYasha hugged the small girl and smiled.

"And I'm sure Kagome would like to be your friend as well." InuYasha smiled, Kagome came back to see the two bonding.

"I'm glad you two are hugging, but I finally got the ice-cream and I don't want it to melt." Kagome smiled at them, Mitzuki went off of InuYasha's lap and hugged Kagome's legs.

"I—Can we…be friends…Kagome?" Mitzuki asked.

"Oh my! Of course!" Kagome said and she went to her knees and hugged Mitzuki, she smiled and looked at InuYasha, who in turned smiled back.

The three sat their eating their ice cream and laughing.

Back with the others

"Dammit you cheater!" Kilala yelled.

"Fuck you!" Sango yelled back, the two had started a game of 'who can do the most laps before passing out and drowning' in the pool.

"You know I won!" Kilala yelled.

"I'm not listening." Sango sang while covering her ears.

Just as she started singing 'itsy bitsy little spider' they heard a scream and a splash, they turned their heads to see Kikyo coming to the surface and Kagura whistling beside her on the edge.

"Kagura what did you do?" Shippo sighed.

"Why nothing dear Shippo, I was merely standing here when I saw Kikyo accidentally trip into the water, I tried to save her, but alas I was not fast enough." Kagura faked innocence.

"I'm so sure." Koga rolled his eyes, Ayame laughed.

"Oh well." Kagura shrugged, she was then picked up and thrown into the cold water.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" She yelled when she surfaced.

Sesshomaru was standing there, smirking madly.

"I hate you! What the hell was that for?!" Kagura demanded.

"That was for writing 'talk next time loser' on my forehand!" Sesshomaru then calmly walked to his chair and sat down, Kagura glared before swearing a few choice words.

"I hope you die of some horrible, incurable disease that makes your hair fall out and your eyeballs shrink into raisins and I hope it makes you wither in pain every second you breathe!" Kagura yelled.

"Well… that was a lot of detail…" Kilala whispered to Miroku and Sango.

"I'm sure she's thought about it lots." Miroku whispered back.

Sango and Kilala nodded.

Back with InuYasha, Kagome and Mitzuki

They had just finished eating their ice cream and decided to go, Mitzuki reached for Kagome's hand and then for InuYasha's. He stared at it before finally taking the hand; they looked like they were a real family.

Mitzuki was swinging between them.

"Let's go to the park ok?" Kagome asked.

"Ok!" Mitzuki said cheerfully, she was getting used to talking again.

"Whatever…" InuYasha sighed.

"Ok so off to the park we go!" Kagome sang.

Back to the others

"I hope you die." Kagura said as she glared at Sesshomaru who was reading a book.

"I know." Sesshomaru smirked.

"I'll get you back…one of these days…" Kagura started cackling evilly.

Back to Kagome and InuYasha

"So Mitzuki, you think you can handle going to daycare and school now?" Kagome asked her, they were sitting by the tree that Julia said to meet them.

"I-I think….so…" Mitzuki smiled, InuYasha looked at the scene in front of him.

Kagome was smiling and holding Mitzuki and Mitzuki was smiling back, they looked truly content.

"Well that's good, I hope you have a good time, and we'll try to visit you again!" Kagome smiled.

"Right Yasha?" Kagome asked him, He looked at her and smiled.

"Of course we will." InuYasha said.

They sat there and waited until Julia came. About 20 minutes later, she came running up to them.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" Julia said.

"Oh, it's alright, no problem at all!" Kagome said, she went down to Mitzuki's level and hugged her.

"I'm gonna miss you, but when we meet again, promise you'll smile, always smile, ok?" Kagome told her, Mitzuki nodded her head and turned to InuYasha.

"Yeah, yeah, I guess I'll miss you too…" InuYasha sighed, Mitzuki smiled, she hugged InuYasha and he hugged back as well, Kagome smiled.

"Remember we're friends, ok?" InuYasha whispered in her ear, Mitzuki nodded and hugged them both again, they both hugged back.

"Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter." Julia smiled.

"It….was…fun mommy…" Mitzuki said softly, Julia bursted into tears.

"My baby! I haven't heard your voice in so long!" Julia cried, while hugging her daughter, Mitzuki smiled and hugged her mom back.

"InuYasha….and K-Kagome…helped me." Mitzuki said.

"Thank you, you two are the greatest kids ever!" Julia said. Her tears fell as she thanked them repeatedly, waving bye, Kagome smiled and waved back.

"I hope Mitzuki is ok." Kagome said, InuYasha wrapped an arm around her.

"I'm sure she will be." InuYasha said as they went to the hotel, they got their stuff and headed back to their friends, then went back to the ship.

"Kagome your back!" Kilala yelled.

"Why yes, yes I am." Kagome smiled.

"Yay for Kagome!" Ayame laughed, she and Koga were again yelling at the TV.

"HEY, WHAT ABOUT ME?" InuYasha asked.

"What about you?" Koga asked.

"Oh har!" InuYasha yelled.

"Hey InuYasha." Shippo said.

"Hey idiot." Sesshomaru said "Hey Kagome."

"Hey." Kagome and InuYasha said.

"Kagome!" Sango hugged her, she hugged back.

"Hey Yash!" Miroku said as he went to hug him, only to be pushed back.

"Don't even try." InuYasha said, Miroku laughed.

"Inu!" Kikyo yelled and hugged him, InuYasha hesitated and looked at Kagome, Kagome looked away, and Kikyo saw this.

"So what happened while we were gone?" InuYasha asked.

"Well, Kagura almost drown Kikyo." Ayame said as if nothing happened.

"Yeah and your stupid brother almost drown me." Kagura mumbled, InuYasha laughed, totally forgetting she almost drowned his girlfriend.

"Well anyways, Um…Kagome can we talk outside?" Kikyo asked, Kagome looked at InuYasha and he did the same.

"Uh…Sure…" Kagome smiled, Kikyo and Kagome walked outside, InuYasha staring after them both.

"Hey who wants to get drunk?" Kilala asked.

A/N: Hey, how was that? Hoped you all liked it! Peace out! R&R if you wanna! And some of you people think the spelling of the names are wrong (Ex.: Kikyo or Kikyou or Shippo or Shippou) But the thing is, people use both, and I use the other ways so don't pound on me, not to mention Kilala can be spelled with L's instead of R's, I know your used to R's but I use L's so yeah…that's just in the English language, I'm Asian, yes but I don't go by those rules I go by MY rules-Lol!

"See you next time on Shikon Cruise"
