Hey all! Thanks to all of my reviewers out there and anyone who even checked out the story.
Now, lets get going with the third chapter of 'Nothing Normal'.
Kagome groaned as she pulled herself out of the well. She sighed. She hadn't been able to bring any of her stuff with her because she didn't want Sesshomaru to know who she was.
If he found out that she traveled with Inuyasha, he would just call her Inuyasha's wench and leave her somewhere.
She couldn't exactly control herself right now so she figured that traveling with another full demon would be the best thing to do.
She shakily used her new demon speed to go in the direction that they had been headed in. She soon found where they were camped.
They were just getting ready to leave when she made it to the camp.
Rin looked up and immediately ran to Kagome. "MAEMI-CHAN!" she yelled.
Kagome winched with Sesshomaru and Jaken. Rin seemed to forget that they had demon hearing.
"Rin," Kagome started. "Could you please not yell?" Kagome asked her.
Rin gasped as she realized. "I'm sorry. I forgot that all of you have demon hearing."
Sesshomaru decided that they had been there long enough. "We need to go."
Rin and Kagome got on Aun and they started off.
Rin was the first to speak. "Lord Sesshomaru, where are we going?"
Sesshomaru looked back at her for a minute. "We are headed to the Western Castle."
Rin was happy. "When'll we get there?"
He didn't even look at her this time while answering. "In two days."
Kagome sighed and Rin started to tell her all about Sesshomaru's Western Castle.
Inuyasha frowned as he walked around the well.
Sango looked at him strangly. "Inuyasha, what are you doing?" she asked.
Shippo answered. "There is a demons smell around the well and it is strong."
Inuyasha nodded.
Miroku frowned. "Why haven't we found Kagome yet?"
Rin sighed as she tried to get some sleep. She heard some movement and she opened her eyes.
Maemi had stood up and was silently walking out of the camp.
Rin frowned and sat up. She glanced around to make sure that no one else was awake.
Jaken was snoring and Sesshomaru taking smooth, calm breaths.
They were both asleep.
Rin silently got up and walked after Maemi. She found her crying in a tree. "Maemi." she whispered, knowing that she would hear her.
Kagome looked down and saw Rin. She jumped out of the tree. "Rin, what are you doing out here?" she quietly said.
Rin put her hands on Kagome's shoulders. "I wanted to make sure that you were okay."
Kagome gave her a sad smile. "I'm just missing some people in my life." Kagome said as the tears came back.
Rin put her arms around Kagome in a hug and let her cry.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes when he smelt salty tears. He stood up and followed the smell. He found Rin and Maemi both asleep under a tree. Every so often, a tear would fall out of Maemi's eyes.
He walked over to her and slightly shook her shoulder.
She yawned and opened her eyes. "Sesshomaru-sama?" she sleepily said.
"Come back to the camp and don't wake Rin." he said while walking back to the camp.
Kagome carefully stood, being careful to not wake Rin.
When they got back to the camp, Kagome put Rin down next to Aun and sat down in front of the fire.
"What clan are you from?" his question startled her.
She turned towards Sesshomaru. "What?"
He gave her a cold look. "I did not stutter."
Kagome sighed. "I do not come from a clan."
He gave her a sort of questioning look. "What do you mean?"
She sighed again. "I an actually only a hanyou. I wandered into a cave and there was some sort of demon in there. They chased me back out and changed the rest of me into a demon, I think."
Sesshomaru thought about it for a minute. There was a demon that could do that but he had thought that she had been sealed away. "Did this demon come out of a scroll?"
Kagome gasped. "How did you know?" she said in a surprised voice.
He nodded. "I have heard of that demon but only certain people can even see her."
She sighed. "Its just my luck. I don't even know how to control my powers yet." she said in a defeated voice.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at her. "Then I shall teach you."
Kagome spun towards him. "Really?" she said in a disbelieving voice.
He nodded and stood. "Your training will start now. Follow." He walked away from the camp.
Kagome jumped up and followed him.
The first thing he taught her was how to follow smells. Then the basics of fighting. By the time they finished those two things, it was time to go.
Kagome decided to walk today. As she stared at Sesshomaru's back, she felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She just shook it off, thinking that she was just a bit hungry.
Sesshomaru suddenly stopped. He smelled his brother in the area. He let a low growl out.
Kagome also smelled Inuyasha's scent. "Rin, you might want to back up." she said to Rin.
Rin nodded and rode Aun farther away.
"Jaken." Sesshomaru said. "Go." he said.
Jaken was about to protest but he didn't. He just turned and followed Aun and Rin.
Sesshomaru was about to tell Kagome to leave but he got a glare from her so he didn't.
They both waited for a minute. Right after that, Inuyasha burst out of the forest. The others, riding Kirara, followed.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha growled out.
Sesshomaru didn't say anything but he did put his hand on his sword.
Inuyasha glared at him when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Do you wish that I get rid of him?" Kikyo said from behind him.
Kagome felt her anger rise a bit but she kept it under control.
Miroku decided to try and get a hold of this before fighting broke out. "Inuyasha, don't do this. We need to find Kagome."
Inuyasha gave a cruel laugh. "Why? What do I care about a wench who is probably hurt and bleeding somewhere?"
Everyone gasped. Even Sesshomaru was a bit surprised.
Kikyo smiled her cruel smile.
Inuyasha continued. "She was just a copy of Kikyo. I don't need her anymore 'cause Kikyo can help find the jewel shards and Naraku."
Sango looked like she was going to kill Inuyasha herself. Miroku was holding her back and Shippo was crying.
"Inuyasha, that girl behind Sesshomaru has three jewel shards." Kikyo said.
That was when they first noticed her.
Inuyasha smirked. "Got another ward following you around?"
Sesshomaru coldly answered. "She is my ward's teacher. No more."
Inuyasha got ready to attack but another large demon got to it first. It struck in the middle of the clearing they were standing in.
Sango and Shippo got separated and the monster got ready to attack them when the were pulled out of the way.
"Do you have a bow and arrows with you?" the girl asked them.
Sango stared at her for a minute before handing Kagome's weapons to her.
The girl nocked an arrow and drew the bow back. She carefully aimed where the monster had a jewel shard. She released it and it flew to its mark, hitting the shard. The shard fell out but the monster didn't shrink. It just went after the shard that had fallen out.
Kagome's eyes widened. That monster was one of Naraku's puppets in disguise. She snarled as she nocked another arrow. She pulled some of Midoriko's power and put it into the arrow before letting it fly.
It struck and an explosion was heard in the surrounding area.
Rin worriedly looked back. "I hope Maemi-chan and Sesshomaru-sama are alright." she sadly said before hurrying to get out of the area.
The smoke soon cleared, revealing Naraku's puppet, who was surrounded by a large crater.
Kagome's eyes widened. She didn't know that she could do that.
"Maemi, get the humans out of here. This one is strong." Sesshomaru's voice came through the smoke.
"Alright!" she called back. She noticed that Miroku was unconscious under the tree that they were in. "Get on my back and hold on." she instructed Sango and Shippo.
They did and Kagome jumped out of the tree. She put Miroku under her arm and she sped away using her demon speed. She was soon at Kaede's hut.
Sango jumped off of her and held the door flap so Kagome could go in.
Kaede jumped up when she came in. "What has happened child?" she said to Sango as Kagome put Miroku on a pallet.
Sango shrugged. "I'm not sure."
"One of Naraku's puppets appeared where Sesshomaru-sama and his brother were fighting." Kagome answered from where she was checking Miroku for any life threatening injuries.
Sango looked over at her. "And you are?"
"I am Maemi, Rin's teacher." she answered.
Shippo frowned and walked over to her. "You smell like Kagome." he sadly said.
Just then, they heard Inuyasha yell Blades of Blood. They all looked outside of the hut and saw that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were fighting again.
Kagome frowned and whispered a word under her breath. "Sit boy."
Inuyasha immediately hit the ground, hard.
Sango had heard her whisper the word. "Kagome!" she cried as she threw her arms around Kagome.
Kagome returned the hug.
Shippo jumped on her and gave her a hug too. "Kagome, why are you a demon now?" he asked.
Sango also wanted to know.
Kagome took a deep breath. "Well, I found a cave that had a demon that was in a wall scroll and she attacked me and turned me into a demon. Then, I went home and found out that even before the demon changed me into a full demon that I was already a half demon and that I was not really the reincarnation of Kikyo but the reincarnation of Midoriko and that my father is a full Tai-Youkai." she said in one breath. She gasped for air when she was done.
Sango stared at her. "So, your not Kikyo's reincarnation but Midoriko's?"
"And your father is a full Tai-Youkai?"
She nodded to both of the questions.
Sango smiled at her. "I'm just glad your okay." she hugged her again.
Miroku groaned as he stirred. He opened his eyes and looked around.
"Miroku!" they all said at the same time.
He smiled at Shippo and Sango but he frowned when he saw Kagome. "You are?"
She smiled. "You first met me in a fight for the jewel shards and we have been traveling together for a while." she answered.
Miroku's eyes widened. "Kagome?" he asked.
She nodded.
"You look so, so different!" he said.
Kagome smiled. "Yeah, Sango can explain that but I need to go. I'll tell you rest when I come back."
He sat up and Shippo jumped on her. "Kagome, you can't go! Kikyo is with us and we can't stand her. Please come back!" he begged.
She stood. "Sango explain to him about the person who I am 'reincarnated' from. Sorry guys but I'll be back. And no Shippo, you can't come with me."
She set Shippo on the ground and smiled at them before leaving the hut.
Everyone stared after her, wondering what she had gotten herself into.
