DN Angel crossover Inuyasha
Chpt7: Going Back In Time
Kagome POV
The feeling of something furry nuzzling my neck awoke me. Opening my eyes drowsily, I noticed that it was only my animals waking me up. Looking at the clock, I noticed that they had let me sleep in for another hour. The clock now read 8 am. Rubbing sleep out of my eyes, I push my covers away and walked to my bathroom still yawning.
Glad that the cold early morning bath has awakened me from my sleep, I opened the door and found it unlock. Recalling the previous night, I remember being carried by Dark and it was he who tucked me into bed. Blushing slightly in embarrassment, upon remembering that Dark tucked me into bed, I walked out of the room and down the stairs. By the time I am in the kitchen, I have already regained my normal composure and putting the thoughts of last night aside.
Feeding my animals, I told them that today we will be going to the Feudal Era to visit Kaede, Sango, Miroku, Rin, Sesshy and Toutousai before heading the Makai to visit Youko and Kuronue. They all agree in a silent conversation to me, saying that it would be great to be able to see them again. Smiling my agreement, I told my animals that I need to go and buy some things and would be back soon.
Walking to the nearest grocery store, I bought some food and paper for Kaede, Sango and Miroku. Seeing that it was still early and no one is around save for the people who are going to school and work, I ran back home in my demon speed without breaking a sweat.
Opening the front door, I saw Aunt Emiko, Jii-chan and Dark now awake and about doing their morning chores. Aunt Emiko is pampering and feeding my animals with any food, Jii-chan is reading the morning paper and Dark is playing with Whiz. The sight of Dark playing with Whiz is amusing, Daisuke must be still asleep and he is sure to be late for school again. Walking up to my room, I quickly conjured up a bewitched back pack and place the items I am giving to the rest in the Feudal Era. Walking to Daisuke's room, I tried waking him up by nudging him, however that trick did not work. Sighing, I conjured up a pair of ear plugs and plugged it in my ears, after that I conjured up a bucket of ice cold water and have it float above Daisuke's head while I ran to my room and get my camera. Smiling mischievously, I position my camera and took the shot when I snapped my finger to have the bucket of ice cold water poured onto him.
Hearing him screamed out in obvious surprise over the coldness of the water, sent the whole family running up to his room. I was now laughing at his reaction and soon the sound of Dark's laughter joined in. Aunt Emiko and Jii-chan also joined in after fussing at Daisuke to change into his school uniform.
"Sorry Dai-chan, it's the only way of waking you up." I said to him apologetically, while he disappeared into the washroom.
Seeing that Aunt Emiko is now fussing over his bedcover, I stepped in and told her that I will have that cleaned and dried in a minute. Seeing that she agrees to this, she went downstairs with Jii-chan. Seeing her now gone, I said a spell and had Daisuke's room all neat and clean. Surveying my handiwork, I walked out of the room in time to hear Daisuke coming out of the washroom.
"So how was your sleep last night? You seem much more tired out than usual." Dark asked.
"It was fine and thank you for… Tucking me into bed last night." I said out to him and this time, maintaining my normal composure.
I could see him smiling happily, though for whatever reason I don't know. Walking back to my room once again, I changed my clothes to those that I would normally wear when I am in the Feudal Era so as to blend in perfectly. The colour of my clothes is white with silver and light lilac designs of a soft wheat field. I have a sash like Sesshy's around my waist, only the designs are in silver and the cloth is in a soft blue colour. I then strapped my two swords at the side of my waist, held there by the sash. Donning on the armor which Sesshy had it made especially for me last, I slip the inner black shield armor. The inner black shield armor itself is a very soft and light material, unlike all armor, this armor is equivalent to titanium metal. Apart from that this type of armor though equivalent to titanium, has the weight of a feather it can withstand anything and everything. Lastly came the spiked armor shield, completing the whole set. The spiked armor shield itself, is the same as Sesshy though this time, he had it made out of the bones of demons like the demon exterminators do and added some dragon's scale to make it light as feather and the same standard as the inner black shield armor.
Casting an illusion around myself, I went downstairs with my black bag pack full of things, and explained to the family that I will not be back for dinner and that I might not even be back for the night.
"Are you sure? Where are you going to stay at?" Aunt Emiko voiced that question up for everyone's benefit.
"I am sure Aunt Emiko, I am just going to go to some other place and visit some old friends." I said reassuring her.
"Do you want to bring Dark along with you?" she asked.
"Yes I fully agree with Emiko here, I should go along with you in case you get yourself into some trouble." Dark piped out.
"No, I don't want to bring Dark along. No offence to you Aunt Emiko, but bring anyone along with me to that kind of place, will just slow me down a lot. And I don't even think that Dark can handle the things that come by his way there." I said out amusingly seeing the defeated look on Dark face.
"Kagome, how are we going to know that you are alright after you said that the place you are going is dangerous?" Aunt Emiko asked worriedly.
"I assure you Aunt Emiko that I will be just fine, I am still alive and standing here right after all that I have been through haven't I?" I said amusingly knowing that they did not know most of the story revolving around me that has been written in history back at Japan.
Seeing Aunt Emiko nodding her head, "See, I can protect myself and even if I am in danger, my animals will protect me no matter what. I will return in one piece so don't worry. I have to go now, bye everyone." With that said, I was out of the door with Midnight and Yuki on my shoulder while the rest of them are fused in my body.
I ran to the nearest forested area, and stood there sensing whether there is anyone around. Sensing that there is no one, I opened a portal to the Feudal Era. Stepping through the portal, my illusion itself, instantly dropped revealing me in my demon form and the clothes that I had changed into when I was in my room just now.
I now also changed into my demon humanoid form. I felt my hair growing longer and that my tails and wings have appeared too. Looking down at my hand, I now see claws instead of a normal human hand with nails. Having trained with Sesshy for a very long time, I now put up an emotionless façade that could compete with Sesshy's and notice that I am now near the Bone Eater Well. Seeing the way my 10 tails are being dragged on the ground, I changed the appearance of my tail to that like Sesshy's and had it draped over my shoulder in the same fashion as Sesshy had worn his tail.
Walking gracefully that no humans or just any demons can copy, I walked towards the village. The air in the feudal Era is so much more different from the air in modern time. Here the air is so much cleaner and fresh, while the air back in my time is much more polluted caused by industrialization. Passing the tree where I have buried Inuyasha and Kikyo at, I place some fresh flowers there and said a silent prayer before moving on to the spot where I have buried Shippo at. Even though Shippo now has a second chance in living with his family again, I placed another batch of freshly picked flowers and said a short prayer to him.
Brushing the dirt off my pants, I walked towards the village, everyone started to run about the whole place screaming that a demon is here. Just then a giant boomerang came just close enough to me before returning to its owner.
"Leave this village or you die demon." A female figured said out with venom towards me.
"Is this how you greet me after so many years Sango, Miroku." I said coldly towards them, and saw Sango dropping her Hiraikotsu and running towards me with Miroku next to her.
Sango came up to hug me and Miroku did the same, when I felt something traveling downward to my lower back region, I growled at Miroku telling him to keep his hand to himself and saw him putting an innocent look on his face while Sango glared at him.
"Is this the first thing you have to always do when you see a girl Miroku?" Sango said out angrily at him while she brought me towards Kaede's hut. The villagers seeing that I am not a threat but a friend to them, went about doing their usual thing. Kaede is now sitting on the ground in her hut, grinding some herds and putting them into the various bottles.
"Kaede-baba, it has been a long time." I said to her in the same cold manner.
"It is good to see you again child. You have change I see though for the better." Kaede said out warmly to me.
Feeling my animals infusing themselves from me, they sat near me while Kirara came over and played with some of them. I introduced them one by one to Kaede, Sango and Miroku sitting around the fire in the hut. Taking out the things that I had bought for them from my time, they each thank me for my gift. Shrinking my back pack to a normal pouch size, I had it tied to my waist.
Spending the next few hours there, we talked about what has been happening around the village and I also filled them in on what had happened from the time I had been training with some people up till my living condition now. Before leaving the village to visit Sesshy in the Western Lands, Kaede-baba gave me a bow and a barrel full of arrows, Sango gave me a beautifully made dagger with the design of a dragon on the metal blade of the dagger. Miroku gave me a few enchantments on protection.
Thanking them, I placed in all in the bag pack that I had tied to my waist, went out of the hut with my animals following me. Ryuu transformed herself into her bigger sized and carried us towards Sesshy's castle. It is the much faster for us, rather than traveling on foot. Traveling on foot to Sesshy's castle would at least take up the rest of the day and disrupt my plan on visiting the Southern land and the Makai.
In a matter of minutes, we have arrived at Sesshy's front gate without much of a trouble.
"Let me through. I am the Lady of the Southern land here to pay a visit to my cousin." I said out coldly to them. Lucky for them, they are quick about opening the door and did not laugh at me like what they did the last time.
The last, they thought that I am a fake trying to go in and assassinate or seduce their lord as far as their mind could think off. They even tried playing around with me. They only change their tone after I purify their sorry butts and told Sesshy of my arrival. I just love making their lives as miserable as hell. Sesshy actually did not scold me, he just told me to call for him rather wasting my breath and energy on them.
Sniffing, I instantly located Sesshy in his library. Walking there, I passed the garden in which Rin is now playing with Jaken.
"Stop it wench, you are nothing without Lord Sesshoumaru you stupid human." Jaken shrieked out at Rin who seems to be nearly in tears.
Making my presence known, Rin ran up to hug me around my legs like what she would always do to Sesshy. Jaken, who is now bowing down to me lowly, has the scent of fear and nervousness around him. Using my elemental abilities, I sent a jet of flames towards his back and Rin laughed at the way Jaken dance around trying to find water to stop the fire. He ended up jumping into the koi fishpond. Seeing as to how his face turned yellow when set on fire, I saw his staff with two head. Picking the staff up, I used it like a golf club and swing it towards him, sending him flying through the air far away. The next thing that went flying is his staff. Seeing my animals on the floor laughing, I could not help myself but let out a soft chuckle while I took out the candy that I had bought for Rin.
"Rin you be good now and play here with my animals. If anything happens you know what to do." Seeing that Rin and animals nodding their head happily, I left the garden and headed straight up to the library where Sesshy is.
Like usual, I sat on one of the many comfortable chair and we started talking about how I have been doing and how is my training going on. He updated me on my castle in the Southern Land and the arrangements that he had done to it. Being the demon lord that he is, when he finds a chance that I am occupied with something, he would pick up one of the many daggers he has on his desk and threw it in my direction. Catching the dagger using only my finger, like what he had done to my arrows when he was battling with Inuyasha. He only nodded his head in approval that I have always been alert in case someone tried to attack me like what they would usually do with a sneak attack.
Seeing as to how busy he is with his paperwork on his land and helping with mine, I bid him goodbye and left the library. Only stopping once by the garden to say bye to Rin and collect my animals. Jaken seem have fallen somewhere deep in the forest and I wish he is half eaten by some demon or get run over by a horde of demons.
Giving Rin a last gift of a delicately made bracelet from ivory and other precious gems, it is one of a kind and has a heavy protection charm on it.
"Now Rin, I will come back to see you again. Behave yourself and that bracelet, has a protection charm on it to protect you whenever I am not around. I have to go now. Bye."
Ryuu, once again transforming herself, carried us on her back and we set out for my land. From the view that I am receiving from high up here, I could see the peace that surrounds my land. No disturbance, nothing but sweet peacefulness. Arriving at my castle, I could see the many servants coming out to greet me and present themselves to me. Inspecting the castle, I noted that everything I clean and spotless. I walked to my room, and sat there by the balcony.
Unlike the normal balcony, I designed my balcony to hold a garden with a small waterfall and a small imitation of a lake there. There are also Sakura trees there and I had an ivory bench made to be placed under the Sakura tree which is facing in the direction of my land. The rest of the empty spaces, I had many different types of rose and herbs planted there so that it would be convenient for me to take what I need for my spells, potions and cures for almost every illness. Most of the other rooms' balcony has just a normal garden.
Before leaving my balcony garden, I turned around to see my animals playing in the small lake and told them that I would be taking a bath and after that we are leaving. Seeing that they all agree and that they are already fresh and clean, I walked through one of my sliding doors and sank myself into one of the many springs there. Even though it looked small from the outside, the space on the inside of the washroom is very big and spacious.
I always have the servants to put the latest of things that a Lady would usually require and stock up on what is necessary. The many springs in my washroom, are of various types, I have one which is a hot spring, a cold spring, another that has healing water in it. The last spring I have there is scented and has purifying waters in it. I had created the purifying waters and there is no one else but me to use it.
Usually those waters would purify anything and anyone who are not pure of heart. Midoriko, being the most powerful miko, had taught me how to do this and all I had to do was further improve on the spells. It is something like holy water in a church, but it is stronger and much better as it does have its own special properties.
Getting out of the bath, I changed my clothes to that of a normal fighting yukata and put on my armors before going out of my bathroom. Gathering my animals, I opened up a portal to the Makai and stepped right into it. When I appear through the portal to the Makai, I found myself in front of Youko's castle itself.
The walk to Youko's castle itself is not much of a trouble except the part of putting his dangerous plants away before I can get to his front door. I was of course alert that once Youko sense his plants not doing their usual duty, would come out and check who has been messing around with his plants. Deadly as he is in a way, he changes his mood quickly upon seeing me.
"Kuronue, guess who is here?" he shouted behind him and instantly, I could tell that Kuronue had gotten my scent and came rushing to meet me. It has only been a few years that we have not meet and already we have so much to say.
He having invited me to stay for dinner which I greatly accept, and was filled in from the time I had left them on the heist and pranks that Youko had pulled on many demons.
"Oh I wanted to ask you about something Youko. You remember there is this piece of blue jewel that I had stolen from this ugly centipede demoness, do you know where is it now?" I asked out curiously. Judging by the look that he gave Kuronue, I knew that something was wrong.
"Well you see Kagome, we somehow erm…lost it in a bet to this old man." Youko said out rather guiltily.
"And who is this old man exactly Youko?" I asked him while looking at him coldly.
"Just some old man who has made a bet with me when we were at one of the village inn and saw the jewel in my hand. He is a cheetah demon with the scent of Tabasco and old oil." He said out rather nervously while watching me.
"Oh wells, guess I loss this round to him." I said out disappointedly.
Youko and Kuronue let out a sigh of relieve when they heard that I was not angry with them. I left the castle and back to my room in Daisuke's house.
Looking at the clock, I noticed how late it is already and snapped my fingers to change into my normal usual modern clothes fit for sleeping. Once locking the door of my room by magic, I settle myself into bed and felt my animals now padding softly to the side of my bed which is unoccupied and settled them in, and falling instantly asleep like me when my head touch the pillow.
