Disclaimer: Oh dear, I just realized I haven't been putting disclaimers up! Better late than never, I suppose! I do not gain profit off of Inuyasha nor Death Note! I don't own any characters! I only own the plot of my fanfic!
A/N: Big thanks to Sugar0o and DemonFoxGirl3 for reviewing! It's 'cuz of you guys I keep updating so quickly! Arigatou gozaimashita! Here's Chapter 4!:
Kagome returned to her body and woke up promptly after, rubbing her sapphire eyes with a tight fist. If Sesshoumaru knew what she was doing instead of taking care of unruly yōkai, he would have a fit. It was bad enough to receive punishment when she ate the inu yōkai lord's last glazed doughnut! Who knew they were his in the first place! She honestly thought they belonged to Inuyasha!
The onna rose out of bed with a loud tiresome sigh, making her way across her room to her massive closet. She's been traveling in her sleep too often for her liking.
Kagome dressed in sweats and a cami, braiding her hair sloppily as she made her way down the halls of the House of the Moon Manor, which was also known as the Western Lands of Japan. The castle like mansion was the center of Sesshoumaru's power and absolutely breathtaking in the eyes of humans and demons alike. The sheer size of it resembled the wealth and power of the Western Lord. It was a show of how prosperous the West was, leaving less wealthy directions jealous.
'As they should be,' Kagome thought with a grimace. 'They don't even take care of their own damn yōkai problems, leaving Inuyasha, Kouga and I to do it for them! Poor Shippou has to be dragged into this once he's fully trained! Do they not know how troublesome it is to travel so far East as a spirit?'
She rounded a corner and entered the kitchen.
"Oi, wench! You don't look so good," a familiar voice called out.
"Oh gee, thanks Inuyasha! 'Cuz every woman wants to hear that!" Kagome bit out.
The silver haired hanyou rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry Kags." Kagome shrugged, grumbling to herself and began to make her breakfast. "You do know it's 2 in the afternoon right?"
"Don't care. I want a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, and nothing is gonna stop me," Kagome declared.
A pale hand grabbed the box of cereal from the poor miko before she could pour any in and she released a frustrated whine, turning on the male daring to rob her of her precious sugar-loaded lunch.
Sesshoumaru looked over the contents, shaking his head. "Miko, this will indeed make you fat in time."
"But 'in time' isn't now! So give that back!" Kagome growled. Sesshoumaru held it up high above his head, angering Kagome further when she wasn't able to reach it, even when she jumped. "Sesshoumaru!" she protested.
Inuyasha burst out laughing, nearly falling out of his chair and a flash of orange disrupted the group, but Sesshoumaru caught Shippou's kimono and held him at an arms-length away. "Nice try Shippou. Thanks for trying," Kagome murmered, giving up.
Shippou grinned widely as Sesshoumaru released him from his hold and tossed an apple at the onna.
Shippou only reached Kagome's shoulders after 500 years, taking on the appearance of a 13 year-old, and it made Kagome proud that he sprouted his 4th tail just under a year ago.
Kagome sat at the dining table, taking a bite from her apple. "Sho, what'sh up Shesshoumaruh?" Sesshoumaru rose a single silver brow. Kagome swallowed and reapeated what she said. "So, what's up Sesshoumaru?"
"The East has been receiving a high level of yōkai lately and I'm sending you, Inuyasha and Kouga out to investigate it. It'll be easier to send out your spirit there instead of making it travel so far across Japan. Something is stirring there, killing off many ningen. Both criminal and innocent, and I want you to stop it," Sesshoumaru ordered.
Shippou pouted that he was not able to go, but Kagome smiled in amusement. 'I think I know the reason for all of those deaths... And his name is Ryuk, the Shinigami,' she thought evilly. 'It's time to put a stop to the Death God and make sure his human receives his well deserved punishment.'
The trio, consisting of Inuyasha, Kagome and Kouga, quickly packed the essentials before meeting out in front of the manor and slipped into the awaiting black limousine, driven by the flea demon Myoga, himself.
Kagome sat in between Kouga and Inuyasha in the limousine , resting her head against Kouga's shoulder as she willed herself to sleep so she could visit L.
"Hey Kags?" Inuyasha's voice stopped her from slipping under.
"Yes Inu?" she asked sleepily.
"Where is your sword? I haven't seen it in awhile."
"Oh that?" Kagome yawned. "I lost in with the battle with a Nure-Onna."
"You lost it?" Kouga asked in confusion. He knew she would never be so careless with her blade.
"Hai... I was overworked that night. I fell unconscious and when I 'woke up' in my Ikiryō state, my spirit returned to my body before I could grab my sword. When I went back, it was gone," Kagome lied smoothly. "Sesshoumaru's gonna kill me when he finds out, so you better not tell him!"
A/N: Ch. 4 is now up! I enjoyed writing in Kagome's perspective for the first time, so I hope you enjoy it! I know Sesshoumaru is OOC and much more talkative, but 500 years can change a guy! You can't exactly keep loathing humans when you have to keep the West prosperous, which happens to be filled with humans. Anyways, please review review review! I enjoy hearing your thoughts and concerns! It makes me sad when I don't get more than two :(( Ah, and I have to regretfully say that if I don't update by this afternoon, I won't be able to update until Monday! Sorry for the inconvenience! And sorry for any grammar mistakes, this fanfic isn't Beta'ed by anyone but me! If you have any questions on the legends or anything else, PM me!
A few more things:
Nure-Onna: a serpent like woman with the face of a woman. They generally have a long snake body and long beautiful hair. Usually, they are docile but if someone bothers them while they are combing their hair on the banks, you will surely pay the price with your life! Yikes! Nure-Onna appeared on the first chapter when Kagome and L first met.
Miko: a shrine maiden
Yokai: a demon
Make sure to review!
