Chapter 9: The Negaverse Returns!

When Kagome woke up a little over an hour later, she registered that the sky outside was dark, and the stars were out. Knowing that her mother would be worried, she got up and went downstairs where Izayoi and Inu no Taisho were sitting in the living room with Inuyasha. Smiling, she said, "Hey, what's going on?"

"Nothing, except that the heir to Kalmar Industries left a little bit ago," Inu no Taisho replied, a sparkle in his eye, as Kagome scowled.

"Chichiue wouldn't let me eradicate his ass," Inuyasha griped, making Kagome giggle.

"I had to stop Sesshoumaru from doing the same," Kagome stated, "He was not happy that he was here."

"What did the baka do this time to get Aniki so mad?" Inuyasha asked a deadly gleam in his eye.

"He tried to claim me as his, again," Kagome growled, causing both Inu no Taisho and Inuyasha to growl in an intimidating manner. All of a sudden a terrifying growl shook the house, making Kagome's eyes wide.

"What was that?" she asked as Inu no Taisho shook his head and said, "It seems that Sesshoumaru has awakened, and he isn't too happy at the moment."

"I only came down here to use the phone to call my mom," Kagome said, "He can't be mad about that, can he?"

"Who knows?" Inuyasha yawned. Suddenly Sesshoumaru appeared behind Kagome, as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her backwards till she was flush against his chest as he nuzzled her neck while purring, as Inu no Taisho, Izayoi, and Inuyasha left the room

"You just left?" he purred into her ear.

"You looked so peaceful that I couldn't even think of waking you," Kagome purred in response, turning around in his arms and placing her mouth by his ear, placing her hands on his chest. Keeping his head on her shoulder, he continued to nuzzle her neck. Nibbling his ear, she said, "I need to call my mom. It's a little late to be moving things, so I assume we're spending the night here?" as he nodded and let her go and headed back up to his room. Though he had just woken up, he felt very tired again. He had been so upset by the fact that Kagome was no longer next to him, and hadn't woken him when she left. His beast had been whining; thinking that it's intended had left him permanently, until they caught her scent heading downstairs.

A little bit later, she returned to his room and laid down next to him once again. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her back, until she was flush against his chest again. She then turned wrapped her arms around him and snuggled into him in her sleep before he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile in another side of town, a young woman screamed as her energy was being drained from her body, by a large creature, as two figures stood in the shadows, watching.

"This energy should be sufficient for the Doom Tree for now," one said.

"We'll need to gather more though," the other replied, as they and the creature disappeared, leaving the woman in the alley, unconscious.

The next morning as Kagome, wearing pink t-shirt and a white skirt that stopped just above her knees and her hair in a half way up and half way down ponytail at the back of her head, and Sesshoumaru, wearing a black t-shirt that complimented his hair nicely and a pair of blue jeans and his hair tied in a ponytail at the bottom of his neck, drove to school the next day, they were listening to the radio when an announcement came on.

"This is an important news bulletin," the announcer said, "Late last night, a young woman was attacked, by some sort of creature and was found unconscious in an alleyway. Doctors say she is very weak and tired but should recover soon. Police say that this latest attack may be connected to the attacks from earlier this year."

Turning of the radio, Kagome said, "Same mo. The Negaverse is back. Luna was right."

"Are you sure, Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"You heard' em, Sesshoumaru," Kagome said, "She was weak and tired, that's exactly how a victim would feel after having their energy drained." Sesshoumaru didn't reply. He remembered all to well how one would feel after having their energy drained. He himself had had part of his energy drained, but had been saved in time by Kagome.

"What are you going to do?" Sesshoumaru demanded.

"Same thing I did last time," Kagome replied, "Fight back," looking him straight in the eye. They didn't say anything until they pulled into the parking lot, only to find it crowded with student, mostly female.

"What the hell is this?" Kagome scoffed, until a black SUV pulled into a parking spot near the front gate and wolf demon got out of it. Recognizing him almost immediately, Kagome said, "Is that who I think it is?"

"Yup, it's Kouga," Sesshoumaru growled, glaring daggers at said wolf demon.

"Sesshoumaru, it's been four years," Kagome said, "I doubt that he still has feelings for me, however, if he does, you know that you are the one that I love, and always will," giving him a kiss on the cheek as she parked her car, as far away from Kouga's car as possible. Getting out, Kagome was immediately pounced on by the others. Laughing for a bit, she quickly whispered into Sango's ear, "I am calling a Scout's meeting, tell the others," and Sango nodded urgently, knowing that Kagome wouldn't call a meeting if it wasn't important.

When they got to homeroom, Kagome growled lowly under her breath. Kouga was also in this class. However, her growl was nothing like Sesshoumaru's when Kouga met Kagome's eyes and smirked.

"Hey, Higurashi! It's been a while," Kouga commented.

"Not long enough," Kagome growled at him as he was about to grab her arm, "and keep your hands to yourself," and she walked to her desk, Sesshoumaru following closely behind. Many of the female demons in the class, including Kagura, were now growling, as they caught a whiff of Kagome's scent, as it mixed and mingled with Sesshoumaru's through the scent marking, as well as the male demons, including Kouga. Taking a seat on the other side of Inuyasha, Kouga continued growling at Sesshoumaru, who growled back. Shooting Kouga a glare, Kagome said, "Cool it, dumb ass, I am not yours, never have been yours, and never will be, so shout it!" in annoyance, making him stop growling, however, a scowl was seen on Kagome's face for the rest of the class, not that she was the only one.

Sesshoumaru also wore a scowl on his face. He didn't like the fact that over ninety percent of the school's male populace wanted his intended. He'd kill every single one of them who dared to try and lay a hand on her. She was his, and no one else's, just as he was hers and no one else's. Catching her eye, he smirked at her. Every time he looked at her, he wondered what he had done in this life, that he deserved someone as special as her. He must've done something right.

Knowing that he was extremely angry at the moment, Kagome took his hand in hers without looking away from the front of the room, where Myouga was having one of the students write on the chalkboard for him, and rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb, calming him instantly. It seemed she was the only one who could calm him down from the point of bloodlust. That was something that only a true mate could do, yet another sign that she was his destined mate.

Yet again during lunch, Kouga got on Kagome's nerves. He tried to sit at Kagome's table, not only that, but he tried to sit in between Kagome and Sesshoumaru, which not only grated on Kagome's nerves, but Sesshoumaru's too. Though Sesshoumaru tried to remain calm, he could tell that Kagome was about ready to throttle Kouga for being too forward, taking liberties that she or her mate did not give. Once he put his arm around her shoulders, Kagome lost it. She nearly clawed him to death, before Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her to him as he purred to calm her.

"Kouga, I would strongly suggest that you keep your distance from my mate, before I make you," Sesshoumaru growled at him, while trying to keep his beast, who was trying to break free to throttle Kouga himself, in check, as Kouga disappeared.

Once she was in Sesshoumaru's arms, Kagome almost immediately calmed down. Relaxing as she felt a rumble through his chest, purring that was meant to calm one's mate; she almost fell asleep, before she was back in her seat by Sesshoumaru's side as he wrapped his tail around her waist. Kagome laid her head on his shoulder as she heard growling from behind her, and turned to see Kagura glaring in their direction, clearly not liking the situation. Glaring at Kagura, Kagome, her eyes going red, released a territorial snarl in the girl's direction, making her gulp.

"Good, make the bitch understand that it's hands off!" her beast growled from within her mind.

Hearing Kagome snarl, he looked in Kagura's direction, apparently she was the cause of Kagome's anger at the moment and gave her an intimidating glare, that made her eyes go wide and her face pale. Gently rubbing Kagome's back, he got her to calm down, when he heard her purr, he knew that she was going to be okay, as she laid her head on his shoulder once again as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

After school that day, Kagome and Sesshoumaru started moving his things into her room. Her room was big enough that she could fit his desk in next to hers, so that he could have his own computer there. The only pieces of furniture left in his room when they were done were his bed and night stand. They were done in about in hour and were getting ready for dinner when Sango, Miyako, Hanako, and Kikyo came over to Kagome's house, and were surprised to see Sesshoumaru there.

"Sesshoumaru, what are you doing here?" Miyako asked, but it was Kagome who answered, "Inu youkai nature demands that when an inu youkai takes on a mate-to-be that they have constant contact with them, so Kaa-chan gave him permission to move in, though I think he just wanted to get away from Oji-chan."

"Chichiue can be very annoying," Sesshoumaru growled, "I didn't think that one person could be so annoying. Don't worry, this is only temporary."

"Until we can find a place of our own, right, Maru?" Kagome finished as he nodded. Shaking their heads, the others just sighed as Miyako said, "You called a Scout's meeting, Kagome?"

"Yes, you heard about the attack last night, didn't you?" Kagome replied with a serious look on her face.

"Of course," they answered.

"Luna told me yesterday that she sensed that more of the Negaverse has returned," Kagome continued, "and this latest attack confirms it. It seems that we are needed again, Sailor Scouts," as the others nodded.

"Did you know that besides Kouga we have two new kids in school?" Kikyo asked.

"No," the others replied before she continued, "They're in my Economic Arts class. Their names are Ann and Alan." Suddenly, Kagome shivered as she stood up, eyes wide, as she said, "Okay, I'm getting some serious Nega-vibes!" as she pulled open the curtains in the front window, to see a giant flower monster attacking, and draining the energy of her mother, brother, jii-chan, Shippo, and Rin, making her eyes go red as her beast fought to come to the surface, throwing her hand in the air, she shouted, "MOON PRISM POWER!" and transformed into Sailor Moon and ran out front door to help her family with the other Scouts and Sesshoumaru following her. As she dodged attacks from the monster, her fellow Scouts and Sesshoumaru weren't as lucky and soon the monster was draining their energy.

"Minna!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"Don't worry about us, Sailor Moon," Venus said.

"Just go!" Mercury yelled.

"No! I won't leave you all here!" Sailor Moon shouted as she went to help them, but before she could, the monster trapped her and began to drain her of her energy and created a circle under her that began pulling her beneath the surface.

"KAGOME!" Sesshoumaru yelled, making Rin look at him and back to Sailor Moon with realization, "Kagome-neechan is … Sailor Moon! NEE-CHAN!"

"I'm coming, Sailor Moon!" Luna yelled, rushing forth and tried to pull Kagome out, however, she was soon sucked in as well. Noticing her grip was slipping, Kagome turned and looked right into Sesshoumaru's eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry," before she lost her grip completely and disappeared.

"KAGOME!!" everyone yelled, Sesshoumaru's beast began whining. Everyone looked shocked, their best friend was gone!

"Nee-chan," Rin whispered through her tears.

"Kagome," Sesshoumaru growled as he thrashed at his bindings, his eyes furious.

Meanwhile, Kagome was floating around in space with Luna in her arms.

"Oh, Luna, what should I do? My friends are in trouble, and I can't do anything about it!" she cried.

"Princess Noelle Serenity!" a woman's voice called out. Looking up, Kagome saw her real mother, Queen Serenity, floating in front of her.

"Oka-sama!" Kagome cried, "Am I dead?"

"No, we are within your soul," Serenity replied, "Thank you for still having need of me."

"Oka-sama, what can I do to help my friends?" Kagome asked urgently.

"The broach," Serenity said, as Kagome pulled out her transformation broach that she carried on her person at all times, as a bright flash of light, brought them to the palace of the moon, changing Kagome into Princess Noelle Serenity, as the Imperium Silver Crystal floated towards Kagome's broach.

"The Silver Crystal!" Kagome gasped, eyes widening.

"Your desire to protect your friends protected the Silver Crystal," Serenity explained, as the Crystal merged with Kagome's broach, changing it to a dark gray color with a white star and gem in each point, one blue, one red, one green, and one yellow.

"Just look at it, its beautiful," the Princess said.

"The Crystal has not yet regained its full strength, but in time, I'm certain that your desire to protect your friends will make the Crystal shine once again, and you will become the Moon Princess once again," Serenity said, before turning to Luna, "Keep an eye on her as you always do."

"Right," Luna said as she nodded.

"With the power in this locket, I can save my friends," Kagome whispered as she turned and walked away from Queen Serenity, but as she was about to leave, she turned and said, "I will make you proud, Queen Serenity, Mother," as she faded away.

Back on Earth, things were not looking too good for the Sailor Scouts. They, as well as Kagome's family and Sesshoumaru, were about to be sucked into a tree that the monster created as Artemis tried to battle for their freedom.

"This is no good," Artemis said tiredly, as a pool of light shoot into the full moon, "What was that?"

"For attacking my friends, I cannot forgive you," Kagome's voice sounded as she, in the form of Princess Noelle Serenity, and Luna appeared from a portal.

"The crime of attacking my friends and loved ones is unforgivable," Kagome shouted, holding up her broach.

"Shout "Moon Crystal Power"," Queen Serenity's voice sounded.

"Moon Crystal Power!" Kagome shouted, holding the broach in the air, as she once again transformed into Sailor Moon. The monster growled and attacked her again, but she dodged it and shouted, "Moon Tiara Magic!" throwing her tiara at the monster, but it had no effect on it.

"No way! It always worked before," she shouted, as the monster moved to attack her again, but she dodged it.

"Sailor Moon!" Mars yelled.

"Hold on, guys, I'll save you!" Sailor Moon shouted, as she thought, "Those guys aren't going to last much longer. I have to think of something or we're all doomed!"
