Chapter 25- Surprises
Kagome and Inuyasha walked up the shrine steps only to be met by Shippo. Kagome knew why Shippo was there, he was there because he already knew that they were coming back and probably had some smart excuses as to why he was there. 'Inuyasha has corrupted my son.' Kagome thought sadly as she walked up to her son and said, "Hi Shippo…what are you doing here?"
"Oh, well your family is waiting for us at Sesshomaru's house. I just came here to make sure you guys knew where to go." Shippo answered. 'What did Otu do? Oka is really pissed.'
"Oh, well let me just leave my things inside. I just need to leave them in my room." Kagome said as she reached for her bags.
"I'll put them in your room. Just in the car with Shippo." Inuyasha growled as he quickly grabbed her bags and took off.
"Don't worry Oka…he is the same old Otu…isn't that a good thing?" Shippo asked.
"I guess…" Kagome whispered as she followed her son to the car. 'He is the same but…I still don't know if I want to be with him. I love him god how I love him but…but he still hides things from me…if he can't stop than I just can't.'
Once Inuyasha had got into the car, the three of them drove off to go and meet with the family. Kagome knew that if something bad happened that the whole family would be there. She of course knew that if something did happen to her family and that if Inuyasha would not tell her that she would not only sit him to hell but she would beat the living shit out of him.
Meanwhile tall red haired miko walked down the dark halls of the large house. She knew that she had found the one she had been looking for since the beginning of the year. She, who had been looking for this miko longer then the hanyou and fox demon, had found the dragon miko that would prevent the world's destruction. 'I will kill her…there is no other choice but death. If she is the guardian and the dragon miko of legend than she must die.' She thought.
"Where is the guardian miko?" a deep cold voice was heard.
"She is still with her hanyou friend. However I have rather interesting news of her." She answered.
"Tsubaki…I had ordered you to bring the guardian miko with the jewel. Not to observe her." He growled.
"I know that Ken, however it would seem that our dragon miko and our guardian miko are one in the same." Tsubaki answered.
"I see, well in that case we will need all of our team. Gather everyone and have them ready." Ken ordered.
"When will we attack?" Tsubaki asked.
"We will attack when she is alone, after all…we still have a spy watching them." Ken answered.
"Understood." Tsubaki replied as she stood up to leave her master alone to his plans. 'Once she is gone, we will go after this demon that wishes to rule the world…we will keep this world safe and kill this evil faster than those in our legends.'
Once she was out of the room, Ken placed a spell up and allowed his true from to be taken. He was a large demon, not like Naraku but a large demon. He was a panther demon form the Americas and was unable to believe how quickly this group had befriended him. He had made up this story of that demon that had come to destroy what Naraku could not. 'Thanks to these fools I will be able to have the power I need to change the world. To create a world filled with demons and humans as servants. Where the hanyou's will know their place.'Ken thought as he walked over to his weapons.
"What's going on?" Kagome asked in an unsure voice as she walked into the living room to find the whole family in it. 'If mom, Sota or gramps got hurt because that baka didn't tell me anything there is going to be hell to pay.' Her dragon miko powers thought as she walked into to sit with her mother and brother.
"Hey sis…what's with the face?" Sota asked.
"Where is gramps?" Kagome asked as she turned to face her mother.
"Oh, he is taking a nap upstairs dear. You don't need to worry." Her mother answered in an over joyful voice.
"Then would someone tell us what the hell is going on." Inuyasha growled.
"Actually we are all here to celebrate." Shippo was heard as he stood alongside his mate.
Kagome turned to face Sango only to see her mouth, 'I have no clue.'
"Celebrate about what?" Inuyasha asked.
"You and my daughter are getting married." Ms. Higurashi answered.
"We have already made it legal…you two of you are having an arranged marriage." Sesshomaru added.
"Come again?" Kagome ask as she took a step back. 'What…mother knows that I'm still confused and she goes and does this? Why…I want to know why!' Kagome thought as she began to place herself in a protective barrier.
"Kagome?" Sota asked.
"I'm going to go and wash my face." Kagome hissed as she walked out of the room and to the rest room. Once inside, Kagome used her powers and opened the coldwater so that she could wash her face. She didn't want to be married to Inuyasha until she knew that she could trust him; until she knew that her heart had completely forgiven him. 'Why? I want to know why.' Kagome thought as she splashed water on her face.
Suddenly, Kagome began to feel hot and she began to feel dazed. She could feel her energy slowly coming to life and knew that she had no control over it what so ever. 'What's going on? Why do I feel so funny?' she thought as she slowly feel to her knees. As Kagome struggled to get back on her feet, Kagome looked up and see herself in the mirror only to be amazed. He eyes were no longer the dark gray/dark brown color but a brilliant blue. 'What the hell?' she thought before she began to see images of the past and the present.
Inuyasha stared at his brother and at Ms. Higurashi in disbelief. Did they think that she would be safe with him. The idiot that always pissed her off; had they gone insane? After taking in a calming breath, Inuyasha opened his eyes and said, "Are you people fucking crazy? Kagome is confused right now and you people are trying to get her to marry me?"
"I thought that you of all people would be happy…little brother." Sesshomaru was heard.
"I want her to be my mate because she wants to, NOT because she is begin forced to marry me." Inuyasha growled as his markings began to show.
"Inuyasha calm down." Miroku said.
"Calm down? Calm down? I am not going to fucking calm down when you fucking people are trying to miss shit up!" Inuyasha growled as he turned and bared his fangs at his brother. "You gave me your word that I had all say in this you laying son of a bitch."
"Wow, not what I was expecting." Sota mumbled.
"Inuyasha this is the only way for us to keep an eye on her without her knowing of the demon and group that are after her." Miroku explained.
"Inuyasha you may not approve but I do, it is the only way to keep everyone safe and your mate to be from using too much of her power." Sesshomaru growled as he bared his own fangs.
Inuyasha closed his eyes and slowly began to think about things. If he did agree with this than he would have to come up with an explanation as to why he didn't mind; if he said that he was against this not only would Kagome be in danger but his family and her family would be as well. Either way he was screwed and there was nothing he could do about it. 'Why can't anything just ever go as planned?' he asked himself before he opened his eyes and said, "Fine, but you all will have to explain this one."
"Inuyasha do not think that I will let my daughter get hurt for a second time." Ms. Higurashi was heard.
"I will never hurt her. I will protect her and I will let her make her own choices." Inuyasha said in a very respectful tone.
"Good, because I want my own room and my own part of the house." Kagome hissed as she made her way down the stairs.
All eyes turned to face her, they could tell that she was not happy because of this because of her aura and the dark feeling she was giving off. Never in her whole life had she been so pissed off and never in her whole life had she just wanted to show them just how much power she had to protect herself.
"Kagome, you're going to be a guest at Inuyasha's house until…wait how did you know we were going to make you live with him?" Rin was heard.
"Shit, I knew I should have waited for that little fun surprise." Kagome hissed.
"Sis…what's wrong with you?" Sota asked as she tried to get close to his brother only to be paralyzed on the spot.
"What's wrong? What's wrong you ask? Well let me tell you all why the hell I am so pissed off. Inuyasha, whom I have no idea if I can ever trust again, didn't tell me about this demon and group that are after me. Secondly my brother is involved." Kagome hissed as she began to approach Sango. "Thirdly I find out that everyone knew about this and none of them could tell me."
"Kagome you have to understand." Her mother began only to be silence by Kagome's cold words.
"Save it, you didn't tell me, you thought that I would easily chose Inuyasha again when he appeared. You never realized how hurt I really was." Kagome hissed.
"Oka?" Shippo asked as he pushed his mate behind him in an act to protect her.
"You're the dragon miko." Sesshomaru spoke.
"And look you guessed it, I don't want to be anywhere near any of you." Kagome hissed as she reached Sango's side. "Once again Sango is the only one that knew how I would react and is the ONLY ONE that tried to get a voice in for me."
"Kagome stop it. Don't let it control you." Inuyasha said as he tried to approach her only to be lifted up into the air and slammed again the floor.
"SHUT UP! You of all people have no right to tell me to stay in control or to calm down!" Kagome yelled as she and Sango were surrounded in poison filled veins. "We're leaving and I suggest you let us go in peace."
"I will not let you leave with Sango in the state you are in." Miroku said in a serious tone as he stood in front of them with his stuff in hand.
"I'm sorry Miroku but I really don't give a shit." Kagome hissed before she paralyzed him.
"Kagome…you're starting to scare me." Sango whispered.
"I'm sorry but I can't…I just need you with me but I can't stay here." Kagome whispered back as she slowly began to calm down.
Once they were out of the house and a good mile away, everyone was allowed to move as they felt her aura and power completely disappear. Sesshomaru looked around the room and made sure that all of his pups and family were safe. Once he was sure, he was forced to turn his attention to Sota who said, "Well that want well."
"You think?" Inuyasha growled as he slowly got off of the floor. Kagome had used so much force that it had knocked the wind out of him.
"Now what little brother?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Now, I go and drag her ass back here." Inuyasha growled.
"Mom? Mom are you ok?" a worried Sota asked.
"I should have known…I should have never." Was all she was able to say before she passed out.
"Well this was on hell of a surprise." Haku was heard.
"Shut up Haku and help uncle." Emeri was heard as she turned to her father. "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing, your uncle will find her and we will take it from there once she had returned. Rin can you please tend to Ms. Higurashi." Sesshomaru answered.
"Of course." Rin answered.
'Damn it Kagome…why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you just sit me for not telling you the moment you found out?' Inuyasha thought as he made his way out of the house and drove to go in search of her. Now that she had unlocked all of her power he could easily tell where she was and where they were heading. 'Shit Kagome…I'm sorry.'
