Kagome sighed and looked at the clock. "10:00, Shippo, Souta time for bed." She heard a groan and smirked. Getting up from the couch she walked to the 2 boys playing video games with the hanyou. She picked up Shippo.
He pouted. "But Kagome...I'm not (yawn) tired yet." Kagome chuckled. "Well you still need to go to bed. Come on Souta." Souta who was about to fall asleep got up. He wouldn't admit it but he was tired. He had been playing with Inuyasha since him and Kagome got back from...where ever.
Kagome and Inuyasha didn't tell anyone about the incident figuring it could be talked about later. No need to rush things.
Kagome lead the sleepy Souta and carried the fast asleep Shippo to their room. She sat Shippo on the bottom bunk and helped Souta to the top bunk. Souta automatically fell into a deep sleep. Kagome waited till he was asleep before she nudged Shippo to wake him back up.
Kagome had been thinking about what Urahara had been telling her to do. "You need to hide it...Something made those Hollows come after you."
She nudged Shippo awake again. Shippo sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. "What is it momma." Kagome picked up the child and sat him in her lap.
"Shhhhh. Souta is asleep. I have to tell you something. Me and Inuyasha was attacked today at my school." Shippo's eyes grew wide and he sat up straighter forgetting sleep. Kagome saw the distress in his eyes and decided to hurry along with the point before he cried. She hated to see him cry. That was why she got mad at Inuyasha when he would beat on Shippo making him cry.
Shippo hugged Kagome and started to whimper. Kagome hugged him and rubbed his back. Shippo calmed down. "Shippo, dont worry about me. I am fine. Inuyasha got hurt worse and he is fine to. We just got a little nervous. Why are you crying?"
"Because that means there are demons here and if that is true Naraku could still be alive, which means we wont succeed in the feudal era." He cried harder and buried his head in her chest. Kagome's eyes widened. She hadn't thought about that at all. But Shippo did make a point. Even though they were attacked by Hollows, who is to say that demons didn't survive. No one has said otherwise and if demons still existed what then. Could Naraku somehow survive 500 years? She shook her head. That was a thought for later.
"Shippo they weren't demons. But Hollows." Enter the abridged version of only 15 minutes explaining about spirits and the other side. ect.ect.ect.
After she was Shippo sat there wide eyed. Kagome sat there waiting for his reaction. She didn't mention that the Hollows might be after her. She didn't want to worry him further. Finally after what felt like ten minutes Shippo finally blinked. Then he looked down."Ohhhh. That explaines it." She looked at him strange.
"What do you mean."
Shippo pointed to her leg. Kagome looked down and saw a bruise that looked like long fingers had gripped them. She had been in sweatpants since Urahara's house so she hadn't noticed. She quickly covered her leg wondering why no one had said anything. Shippo looked up at Kagome. "Why didn't you tell your aunt or Souta."
"Because Shippo I need you to keep the jewel hiden. In a place no one can find. Not even me. Dont tell anyone where it is." She reached in her shirt and grabbed the bottle of fragements.She passed it into his hands. Shippo shook his head passing it back to her. "But Kagome I am just a kit. I cant hide the jewel. What about Inuyasha." Kagome grabbed Shippo's hand.
"Shippo you are my son and I trust you. Plus Inuyasha is a little predictable on where to hide it." (Sorry but it is true.) Shippo looked at Kagome and they both said. "Inhis Haori." Kagome smiled and ruffled Shippo's hair. "See. Now can I trust you?" Shippo beemed and nodded.
"Alright then." She put the bottle back in his hand and closed his fingers around it. "I am entrusting you with a valuable possession. I know you will protect it."
Shippo promised and Kagome put him under the covers. Shippo snuggled under the covers and Kagome kissed his head. She turned off the bedside lamp and exited the room. She walked into the kitchen to see a light in the living room. She was about to go investigate when she sensed something. She stilled and quickly snuck under the table. She heard footsteps then a voice.
"Kagome...Kagome where are you." Kagome sighed in relief. Ever since Urahara had told her that she might be a target of something she had been on edge. Getting up from under the table she said . "Cheiko its just you."
Chieko looked confused. "Who else would it be? Never mind. I have to go for a minute out of town. Well actually for about 4 days. I have a press confrence I just found out about." Kagome looked confused.
"What exactly do you do for a living?"
"Actually I am an editor for a magazine. And we are having a conference in L.A, California." Kagome had made an "Oh" motion with her mouth. "Well I have to go now. See you in 4 to 5 days. bye."
Kagome waved as her aunt left. She turned back to the living room. Stepping in she spotted Inuyasha still on the video games. He was so in to the game he didn't even hear her say his name. She even poked him in the back but he didn't budge. She stepped up to the TV and unplugged it. Inuyasha just stared at it before he said. "Hey TV go dark." He turned around and glared at Kagome who stood behind him with the cord in her hand, the other on her hip and she was tapping her foot.
He growled and jumpped up. "Hey what was that for."
Kagome just camly sat the cord down and walked to her room. Inuyasha followed her. "Hey whats your problem."
Kagome sighed and turned around. "The kids are trying to sleep. You need to go to bed also. It is 11:30. Not to mention my aunt left." Inuyasha growled. "You need to go to bed." He huffed and said. "I aint some kid. I can do what I want." and then walked to his room.
Kagome walked to hers and laid down. She was about to drift off when she heard a clinck against her window. She got up and looked outside. She spotted a movement outside. Grabbing her bow and arrows from under her bed she headed outside.
Sneaking out the back door (her window faces the back yard) She crept in the shadows to the trees out back. She heard a shuffle in the bushes and pulled out the knife she had grabbed in the kitchen. Setting down her arrows and bow she rounded the bush and crouched down. She waited till another rustle of the bushes told her the target moved. Not waiting she jumped into the bushes knocking into something heavy. She heard a grunt. Sitting up to where she was over the person she pressed the knife to the persons neck.
"Who are you."
"Its me. Ichigo." Kagome's eyes widened and she jumped up. "I am so sorry." She helped him up. "What are you doing here at 11:30 at night?" Ichigo stood up and dusted himself off. He blushed.
"I know it is late and I would have come sooner but I couldnt. I just came to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine. Just a little bruised." Ichigo pointed to her hand. "Whats with the knife? Someone out to get you?" 'You have no idea.'
"No but you can never be to careful. Someone might come in the middle of the night and throw stuff at your window."
Ichigo blushed a darker shade and shifted from foot to foot." I know. I threw a rock at your window to get your attention but then I decided not to bother you and tried to leave." Kagome appologized and asked. "Want to walk around the yard or go inside?"
"No I wont keep you long. So lets walk." They sat off walking around the 40 foot perimeter of the yard.
After a moment of silence Ichigo talked. "So is Shippo your son?" Kagome faltered tripping on a rock. Ichigo caught her and placed her upright. Kagome blushed. "Why do you say that?"
"At the mall I saw you and Inuyasha leave with a little boy and he called you mom. Are you and Inuyasha married or lovers?" Kagome stilled and her eyes grew wide.
Ichigo stopped and looked at her worried. "Are you okay?" Kagome just stared at him.
"Why do you say that? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO GO AROUND MAKING ASSUMPTIONS!!! NO I AM NOT Married to Inuyasha." She calmed down.
"And no Shippo is not my son. He is a boy from Tokyo I adopted. Inuyasha brought him to me." Ichigo felt asshamed.
"So what is Inuyasha to you?" Kagome started to walk again. "A friend. Nothing but a friend. "
"Do you like me?" Kagome was confused but then figured he meant as a friend. "Yes. Why?"
"Because because..." He had realized earlier why he acted different to Kagome than everyone else. "Because I..." He grabbed her neck and slammed his mouth onto hers. Kagome was stunned and couldn't move , she just stood there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha stared at the window wide eyed. He had gone to Kagome's room to appologize when he heard someone yelling. Running to the window he saw Kagome yelling at Ichigo. He smirked the it faded as they started to walk and then he frowned when he saw Ichigo pull Kagome to him and kiss her. The worse part was she just stood there. Inuyasha growled low in his throat.
' She lied to me. She told me that he was a friend. She told me she always thought of me...us, sango, miroku, Shippo, Kilala, Kaede. But I can see she doesn't need us. She moved on.' He moved away from the window and grabbed a piece of paper. quickly he scribbled down a note. He didn't know why but he didn't feel right saying goodbye to everyone. He walked out of the room and left the note on Kagome's bed. He walked to his room and changed into his clothes. walking to the stairs he quietly slipped out of the front door and ran back to the shrine. Goodbye Kagome.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Inuyasha had started to write the note Kagome finally came out of her shock. She quickly pulled away and slapped Ichigo in the face. Ichigo stumbled back with shock written on his face. She pointed at him and in an extremely calm but deadly voice said. "Dont you dare EVER touch me like that again. Dont ever speak to me again." She pointed to the gate. "Now go before I shoot you." Ichigo knew she meant what she said and got up. He stumbled out of the yard and into the street. He turned and walked. 'Dang it. I ruined my chance and now she wont talk to me. I'll talk to her later.' He walked down the street.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome waited till Ichigo had left then nelt on the ground and broke down. She shakily got up after 10 minutes and went into the house. Crawling up the staires she went to her room and went to the bathroom. She faced the mirror. Her face was puffy from crying and her eyes were red and swollen. She ran the cold water and splashed her face. Going into her room she sat down on her bed.
Reaching down she tried to find her diary. Not finding it she bent down. She sat back up with it in her hands.
"Hello Miko. Nice to see you again." Kagome froze. Slowly standing up she turned around. She gasped when she saw the person. "No...not..."
