Hey people. Writers block blows and it's only the second chapter. Speaking of people, here are some names I'd like to thank
Amy (): Cheer up. It gets way better.
BlueEmber: Nothing weird is going to happen...yet. If you want to find out why she's A half-demon, you'll need to read Chapter 3.
Well that's it for the list. R+R to inspire me to get through any more writers block, and to let me know what you think of the story.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha. If I did, my friend from Florida wouldn't be in Florida. It's scary.
On with the fic.
Chapter 2: Cemetery Surprises
Flashback:
It was a rainy day. School had just gotten out. A seven-teen year old Kagome was speeding home on her motorcycle. She was trying to get home, to get out of the rain. The street she was now on, was a down ward hill. A three year old Shippo was at the far end of the road. He was lost...again.
Kagome was a natural born rider. This showed when her back tire blew out. Kagome had laid the bike down flat on the ground and hopped onto the side all in one motion. It was like second nature to her. But when she saw the young fox demon down the road, she knew she'd be in for a challenge.
Shippo on the other hand, had no idea what was barreling down on him. He'd heard a loud screeching behind him and fainted.
Kagome was worried for the little fox she'd just scooped up before the motorcycle had hit him. But then, her heart dropped when the train tracks that were coming up fast, had started to ring. A train was coming, even faster than the bike was moving.
Kagome was about to jump off with her passenger, when a blur had flashed in front of her eyes. Moments later, Kagome heard the crash and then looked up. She was in the arms of an other demon that looked to be about her age.
"Are you alright, Kagome?" At this she was startled.
"How do you know my name?" She asked but, soon after, she noticed her ID hitting her savior in the face as the wind blew.
"Lucky guess." was all he said.
When they landed, the demon quickly walked under a giant tree. He put Kagome down and said with amazement.
"That is some equilibrium you've got. I've never met a human with balance like yours!"
Kagome was not one to brag, but when it came to motor cycles, she couldn't help it.
"Trust me, when that's your only form of transportation, you can't help but learn all you can when it comes to falling, Inuyasha."
He noted the ID on his shirt. "Hey, you go to Midoriko High, too?"
Kagome nodded, "Funny, I've never seen you there. Are you on the other side of the building?" She asked.
"Yeah, my kid here got lost on me again. I asked the principal to look after him, but that guy's as blind as a bat!" Inuyasha groaned and slapped his head.
Shippo mumbled in his sleep, "Mama..".
The two teens looked at each other, both their faces were a new shade of pink. As Inuyasha took Kagome home, he explained how he adopted the little fox only a week before.
End flashback.
Shippo and Kagome had finished praying. They had both thought of that day, seven years ago. Kagome got up and walked to her friends. She noticed Shippo staring down the walk way.
"What is it Shippo?" Kagome asked with some worry in her voice, only to gasp at the figures walking towards the grave.
It was Sesshomaru and by his side was Rin, his daughter. This little girl was a half demon too. Sesshomaru had a half-breed daughter. He loved her so much that he couldn't stand they way he had been ashamed of his brother. The two prayed and Sesshomaru put a brand new sword by the grave. The sheath had blended in with the black suit he wore, so no one noticed it. As he stood up, silent tears fell from his eyes and he walked away. Sesshomaru had never cared for anyone, but now he'd die for the little girl by his side. All thanks to his brother.
"You ready Kagome?", Sango asked as she and Miroku had walked up to the half-breed and the little fox.
Kagome started to nod, but smelled a scent that made her eyes wide.
"Wait...I smell...wolf!"
"Where?" Miroku asked.
Before Kagome could say, a forgotten voice called out to the small group.
"Hey guys! Long time no see!".
Miroku ran in the direction of the voice and spotted the figure it belonged to.
Koga was walking down another pathway with Ayame by his side.
"Koga, you sly wolf!" Miroku said as he saw Ayames enlarged stomach.
Sango and Kagome soon cuaght up.
"Ayame! You're a house!" Sango said surprised.
"Briliant deduction, my dear Watson. I see you still state the obvious" Ayame had sarcasm in her voice.
" Oh, come here you whale!" Sango said while giving her pregnant friend a hug.
Ayame lauhged and hugged back. Kagome slowly walked up and timidly said,
"Hey guys. Talk about a sight for sore eyes, huh?"
The wolf couple stared at the person talking to them. Only when they saw Shippo in her arms, did they realize who it was.
"Kagome!?" Both said in the same suprised tone. Kagome blushed a little and said, "You got it!"
A few minutes later Koga and Ayame had payed there respects. Miroku had something he wanted to get off his chest.
So when the gang was all together, he'd gotten down on one knee in front of Sango. Everyone stared, Sango blushed.
"Sango, I've taken many things for granted in my life. But you're a gift, and I can't expect you to be there for me, unless you answer this question.", he paused and took a ring out of his pocket.
"Sango, will you marry me?"
Sango dropped to her knees and stared into Miroku's eyes. She knew her friends were watching, but when she realized the person that had introduced the two was not there, she broke into tears. She wrapped her arms around Mirokus neck and cried into his chest. "yes!" she managed to say in between sobs. Koga walked and patted Miroku on the back.
"Sly wolf, huh? What the hell does that make you?" he said with an amused smile. The wind blew gold and brown leaves over head. Every one felt as though they were being watched by kind eyes.
Around five that afternoon, the gang had made it to a diner not to far from the cemetery. They had ordered some dinner, and started to catch up on what they'd all been doing in the past year. Koga and Ayame were going to have pups. Shippo had been training himself to get stronger. His small stature hadn't changed much, but his fox magic was powerful. Miroku and Sango had been living together, but now they were engaged.
Everyone had been so caught up in stories of the past, that none had realized Kagome had reverted to her human form. She'd been human for about ten minutes when she noticed the full moon out side her window.
Kagome said with excitement, "Hey guys, remember me now?"
At this Shippo, Ayame, and Koga dropped their forks, mouths had hit the table. A girl the three friends hadn't seen in what felt like forever, had finally appeared in front of their eyes. The fangs, claws and dog ears were gone. The ice cold, light blue eyes had turned back to their original, warm dark chocolate color and the hair was back to black.
Ayame, at the sight of her friend, had run around to Kagome and nearly hugged the life out of her. Shippo, hung from the neck of the only person he'd call his mom...at least, when he was asleep. Koga, although happy to see Kagome's face again, thought it'd be best to get her out of his mates bear hug.
When everyone was sat back down, Kagome was curious and asked,
"Did I really look that different?".
"It's just that we hadn't seen you like that before. Even your scent changed." Shippo said, about ready to ask why Kagome had looked the way she did. But he stopped himself when he saw that she was trying not to break down.
The diner was about to close when the group was leaving. Koga and Ayame would be staying at Miroku and Sangos' house. Kagome held Shippo in her arms. He was asleep, so Kagome decided to just take him home.
"Bye every one. I'll see ya tomorrow." It was hard for her to say this, since she didn't want to leave, but she had one more thing to take care of.
After walking half way back to the cemetery, Kagome and Shippo were caught in the rain. She kept walking and he kept sleeping in her arms. She was thinking about surprising Shippo in the morning, or when ever he woke up. She'd decided to adopt the still pint sized fox demon. Even with her friends Kagome felt alone. Shippo was the only one that could make that empty feeling in her heart go away.
They reached the cemetery. The jewel around Kagome's neck was glowing but, she didn't notice. At the grave, she kneeled down to pray. She was still holding Shippo, afraid to put him down and not wanting to let him go.
"Why? Why would you do this to us? And why did I love you? All you did was go and die on me. It's not fair. Call me selfish but, I want you here with me..." Kagome broke down into a hysterical cry.
"Ya'know it's raining right? You're gonna get yourself and Shippo sick if you stay out too long." at this voice Kagome had stopped crying and looked up.
The jewel that hung on her neck was floating in front of her. A ball of white light popped out of the tomb stone and into the jewel. A half-breed dog demon formed in front of her. He had clean baggy jeans, a black t-shirt and was taking off his red jacket. All his injuries were gone.
"Inu...Yasha?" was all kagome said before a jacket was put on her. She was getting cold.
"Kinda like when we first met, huh?" Inuyasha said while picking up the girl that was eyeing him with confusion.
"But... you're dead, aren't you?" she asked while the light surrounding Inuyasha warmed her up and kept the rain off.
"Technically yeah, but not really. I need to get you home, before you catch the flu or something. I'll explain everything when you're asleep, okay?" he said with a smile.
All she did was and hold Shippo tighter as Inuyasha started jumping through the air.
