Chapter Twelve
We jumped out of the well and into Kagome's mini shrine. I looked around at everyone then remembered something. People in this time don't think demons exist. They all went into hiding or are extinct. These guys were going to stick out like sore thumbs.
"Kaitlyn? Can you and I turn all of the demons into humans?" I asked. There was a chorus of 'what's and 'why's.
"Guys, she has a point. If we walk around in demon form then we're going to attract some unwanted attention. DF, let's do it." She said. We got everyone into a circle and me and KK got into the center. We put our hands together above our heads and closed our eyes.
"Elements we call to you. Hear our plea. Come change these demons into humans. As is our will, so mote it be." We yelled together. There was a bright light and I heard Fire yell in pain. When we could see again, I ran over to her. Rin was looking at her and her hand was on her back.
"What happened, Cael?" I asked, concern heavy in my voice. She nodded and smiled up at me.
"Sorry. I guess I should have told you that I was a vampire. I should've gone into the circle too. But I'm okay." She said. I was a little taken aback but I got myself together. I turned around and gasped at the sight of them. Sesshomaru's tail and marks were gone and so were his claws. Inuyasha had no ears and he had black hair. Kita, Deneata and Liam all looked the same as before and nothing had changed about them. I went up to Inuyasha and started hitting his head.
"Oh my god! It's a miracle! Inuyasha doesn't have his stupid ears anymore." Everyone laughed as he glared at me and I smiled sweetly. I grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and dragged him out of the mini shrine and into the house with Kagome right behind us.
"Mom, I'm home." Kagome yelled. I heard footsteps and Kagome's mom appeared in the room, then she froze.
"Kagome, who are these people." She asked, obviously thinking of where the heck she's going put us.
"Mom, you already know Christina and Inuyasha. This is Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Rin, Kaitlyn, Deneata, Kita, Fire, Sesshomaru, Liam and Scott." She said. She looked at all of us and I instantly knew that she wasn't going to have room for all of us. Then I got an idea.
"Who wants to stay at my house?" I asked. Everyone agreed and we said goodbye and left. My house has two bathrooms, six bedrooms, a kitchen, and a huge living room. The will was entrusted to me by my parents when they died and I never let it or any of the stuff in it go. So everything was still in it. I have a job at the clothing store and I made a lot of money so the bills were always paid.
We walked into the living room and Sesshomaru sat in my favorite chair. I just walked over and sat on him.
"So what do you guys want to do for fun?" I asked, looking around. I had a flat screen TV with a karaoke machine and a DVD player hooked up to it, and I also had a big bookshelf stuffed with movies.
"Why don't we watch a movie?" Kagome suggested. I agreed and went over to look at the movies. I looked around until I spotted one I really liked. It was a sad movie but it gave me a reason to huddle close to Sesshomaru. It was Bridge to Terabithia that we watched and when the boys noticed that the girls were crying they started getting frantic. After we stopped crying we all laughed at Inuyasha, who was the only guy crying.
"What? It was a very sad ending." He yelled and we laughed some more. I came up with another idea of what we could do and quickly looked around the circle.
"Let's play truth or dare. Except its only dare and you can't chicken out. I said, smiling. Everyone agreed and we all sat in a circle.
"Okay. Me first. Deneata I dare you to kiss Liam. On the lips!" I said, smiling innocently. She blushed and went over to Liam, who was looking very uncomfortable. She hesitated then kissed him softly. When she pulled away Liam was blushing and looked like he was in heaven. Everyone was laughing their heads off at his expression and Deneata was blushing like crazy.
"I wouldn't be laughing Kaitlyn. I dare you to kiss Kita on the cheek." Deneata said.
"What?" Kaitlyn yelled.
"You can't back out." I said. She walked over to Kita and quickly kissed her cheek.
"EWWW! I kissed the fat!" Kaitlyn yelled. We burst out laughing as Kita voiced her protests. We all quieted down as Kaitlyn decided what to do.
"Fire, I dare you to do the waltz with DF." Fire laughed and got up. She pulled me to my feet and snapped her fingers. A rose appeared and she put it into her mouth. We danced around in a circle, giggling like little children. When we sat down, everyone was still laughing. Fire cleared her throat and everyone got very quiet.
"Chris, I dare you to enter this singing competition." She said. I squealed and grabbed the flyer from her hand. It was tomorrow and tonight was the last night to sign up. I grabbed the phone and dialed the sign up number on the sheet.
"Hello?"
"Hi, I would like to sign up for your singing competition tomorrow." I said, as sweetly as I possibly could.
"Of course, Sweetheart. What song?" She said. I heard her shuffle some papers around as she waited for my answer.
"Can I do a duet with my boyfriend?" I asked, looking at Sesshomaru. His eyes went wide as he figured out my dare.
"Yes. You just have to tell me what song and your names and I'll sign you up." She said, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Our names are Christina and Sesshomaru and we'll be singing Broken by Seether and Amy Lee." I said.
"Okay, thank you. See you tomorrow." She said, hanging up.
"Okay, enough dares. Me and Sesshomaru need to practice." I walked over and turned the TV on again. I turned on the Karaoke machine and looked for the right cd. Sesshomaru was still staring at me in disbelief as I selected the right song and tossed him a microphone. We sang together and he was amazing. I mean, he had the most gorgeous voice I have ever heard. I looked at him then noticed his clothes. In fact, everyone but me and Kagome would need new clothes in order to blend in.
"Well, the competition doesn't start until two o'clock. So we are going shopping before hand and getting you guys some new clothes." I said. Kagome looked around and agreed strongly.
Suddenly, we heard a key in the door. The door opened and I took a battle ready stance. The girl that just walked in looked at us and did the same. She had brown hair that went into a braid at the back and she wore glasses on her face. I could sense that she was a pretty strong demon. She noticed me and straightened up, a look of realization on her face.
"Dark Flame?" I realized who it was and relaxed.
"Bubbles!" I yelled. I ran and hugged her.
"And here I thought I was getting the whole house to myself for a while. I thought that you were going back to the feudal era." She said, letting me go.
"I did. I kind of ran into a few old friends and got my memories back. Then Sita betrayed us and now Naraku's declared war on us." I said. Another woman came in and saw Fire. She dropped the bags she was carrying and her eyes got wide.
"I thought you said that she was in the feudal era." She said. Still looking at Fire. Fire was looking back at her as if she knew her but just couldn't place her face.
"Who, Fire or Dark Flame?" She said.
"Fire." She said simply. This girl was wearing a leather tank top and black jeans. She had long flowing black hair and black eyes. Something about her appearance told me that she wasn't human so I decided to look deeper. Her gaze snapped towards me and she growled. I took a step back and growled back. She could sense me searching her soul. That was extremely odd. It only made me wonder who she was even more.
"Jessika. Stop it. She was just trying to figure out who and what you are." The girl named Jessika calmed down a bit but her gaze didn't soften. Bubbles looked at everyone and when she spotted Sesshomaru she laughed.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? The lord of the west. What are you doing here?" She said smirking.
"I came here with my fiancé." He said, smiling at me. Bubbles turned around and stared at me.
"What?!" She yelled. I blushed and started to back up from her. I tripped and suddenly I was in Sesshomaru's arms. I looked up at him and he smiled.
"Well, yeah. One of the memories was of when I was younger. I had met Sesshomaru when his father came for a meeting with my father. I fell in love with him but his father left with him and I never saw him again. But now here we are." I said.
"You don't have to tell me about your memories, DF. I saw them that night too. That's why Naraku knew you were there. Because most of the demons saw your memories that night. It was because your powers were woken up. They were so strong that your dreams were shared with every strong demon out there." She said. Realization struck me as I thought of what she just said. If a lot of my old enemies knew that I was there then there was going to be a lot of people siding with Naraku.
"Tamara, will you come back with me please. Join us on our side against Naraku." I used her true name so that she knew that I was serious. She looked at me for a long time then she smiled.
"Of course. After what that bastard did to you, I want to kick his butt." She said. I hugged her tightly and then looked around the room.
"I guess I better introduce you. That is Inuyasha, Scott, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Shippo, Rin, Kaitlyn, Kita, Deneata, Liam, and Fire. Guys this is Tamara, or Bubbles." I said. They said hi and I looked at the time. It was ten thirty and I was getting tired.
"Why don't we all get some sleep? Dark Flame can show you your rooms." She said, smiling at me. I smiled back and showed everyone to their rooms. Kagome and Inuyasha slept together in one of them, Deneata and Liam slept in another. Tamara and Jessika had their own rooms, Scott and Fire both shared a room, Sango and Miroku shared a room, Rin and Shippo, and then me and Sesshomaru. As I laid there in his arms I couldn't help but wonder what relation Jessika had with Fire. I sensed a strong bond between them but I still couldn't figure out anything about that girl. I kissed Sesshomaru's lips softly then put my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
