Kagome popped her head back in, "Nah, it had to do with the fact that I had to work on my pervert patience so that I could deal with their ancestor. Besides you know I didn't have the grades to make it into the same high school you, Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka made it into."
Shigure put a hand on his chest, "You wound me with such harsh words, milady."
Kagome snorted undignified, "…yeah and you're, but, a humble writer, right? Miroku did the same thing."
Kagome then let out a shriek at being caught by Hatori. The dragon gave the miko a tight hug, covering her in flour. She pulled free and gave a mock slap across his chest, "Mou!"
She giggled softly, stopping when she felt a spike of youki. Kagome recognized it and told everyone to stay put in the kitchen while she handled it.
She went into the hallway and opened the door stepping back to allow the inu-taiyoukai to enter. His nose wrinkled at the mess she was in before entering the house. "Miko, this is unacceptable."
Kagome blinked and looked at her clothes, "Oh, we were just cooking and having fun. You know fun, when you laugh and have a good time that doesn't involve blood, guts, and general mayhem."
He snorted and glided past the miko his eyes taking in the group of humans in the kitchen before entering the living room where he sat down. Kagome looked at them apologetically before dusting the flour off and entering the living room. Kagome knelt down in front of him before speaking softly, "Sesshomaru, what do I owe the honor of this visit to?"
Sesshomaru looked at her offended, "Has spending so much time with ningens made you forget your manners?"
She blushed slightly, "Sorry, would you care for something to eat or something to drink?"
The taiyoukai snorted, "I don't eat human food nor do I drink human beverages."
Her eyebrow ticked slightly, "Then why the hell did you want me to ask!"
He lifted his chin, "It's the proper thing to do. Besides why did I smell your blood covering the entryway of your home?"
"A ningen thought he could steal the Shikon no Tama."
"I hope that you killed him."
Kagome shook her head, "You know how I feel about killing ningens."
Sesshomaru stood, "If you aren't able to do your duty to the fullest extent then I shall have to remove you from a location that does not properly protect you to prevent you from ever needing to rise to the occasion."
Kagome stood up as well a scowl gracing her face, "Now see here, Sesshomaru-sama, I'm not leaving my home. Got it? I just return and after 8 long years I finally get to stay and worry about having to find jewel shards or if a youkai would kill me or if I'd never make it back or even more traumatic, if I would have to give Shippo the talk.
Her gaze went to the door where she heard snickering. Sesshomaru grabbed her chin, "You were placed under my care by my brother and I shall take my responsibility, even if I have to kill you to get you to comply."
Kagome pulled free, "Sesshomaru-sama, you know that I will always love and respect you but I am not a child and I am needed here. The ningen merely surprised me. I pinky swear that I'll be more prepared next time."
Sesshomaru growled slightly, "This is not a matter up for discussion."
Kagome nodded, "Glad to see you agree with me. If it makes you feel better I'll resume training every day and I'll get a guard dog."
Sesshomaru growled, "Miko."
Kagome returned it, "Youkai…good now that we know what we are, may I ask the real reason you're here. I know the blood couldn't have called to you from far away, I soaked it in water and I had used bleach to clean the stones."
Sesshomaru sat down, "I want you to tell me what exactly happen during the final battle with Naraku, I have patiently waited for 503 years for the details and I do not believe the excuse that you do not remember."
Kagome turned her head towards the door where she could see Ayame, Houjo, Shigure and Souta shamelessly eavesdropping. Sesshomaru stood, "One of the most disgraceful things a person can do is eavesdrop in a conversation they were not invited. Punishment is in order."
Kagome quickly stood in the path of the poison whip, her hand catching the whip. She grimaced at the sound of searing flesh, "Sesshomaru-sama, I believe my brother at least has a right to hear what happened and the others are my trusted confidants. Please don't kill or punish them. They're merely ningens they aren't strong enough to handle your brand of justice."
Sesshomaru allowed the whip to retract before going up to Kagome and gently licking her hand covering the now torn flesh with his healing saliva, "Fine, but I insist that you at least have some sort of protection and not a mere inu. I'll have my second eldest pup come and stay here and properly keep an eye out for you."
Kagome grumbled but motioned for the eavesdroppers to enter the room. Her injured hand pulsing with a soft lilac glow repairing the damage the youki had caused. Kagome sat down wearily. "This story isn't for the weak of heart or faint of stomach."
Sesshomaru growled, "Quit acting like the houshi and explain what happened after Naraku pierced you."
Kagome winced when she felt everyone stare at her, "Well, after I ripped the tentacle out, I continued with the battle and when I had the chance I ran up to grab the Shikon and the freaky light surrounded us…how do I describe what happened next, you know how the Shikon was created, well it was almost about to happen again but my soul was to large so what happened was I forced his soul out of his body trapping it in a jewel of its own. Then, I felt his portion of the jewel shatter into all the pieces, probably from the force of our aura clashing. Then as you know I died from the blood loss and you revived me with Tenseiga."
Sesshomaru stood, "And of the jewel, what became of it?"
Kagome winced, "I'm not sure when I came to it was gone and I didn't have the opportunity to search for it in the chaos that followed my coming back."
The taiyoukai growled and grabbed her by the neck, "You will look for that final portion of Naraku you didn't destroy."
Kagome nodded and rubbed her throat. "My pup will be here in the morning, I suggest you prepare."
She groaned, "Great another sadistic demon."
He merely smirked before gliding out.
Hatori looked into the room taking in everyone's serious expressions, "Kagome, I believe the cookies are finished."
She sent him a strained smile before heading into the kitchen to check on the younger people and to remove the cookies from the oven. Tohru and the others were all sitting around the kitchen counter playing Dai Hin Min. She watched as Yuki won the round irritating Kyo and Tohru and Momiji were playing as a team against the other three. 'Somehow I knew this would happen that the past was going to come and bite me in the ass. I hope I can at least finish helping Hatori and the others before history repeats itself.'
Souta stood up to go and follow Kagome but, Shigure and Ayame stopped him grim expressions marring their normally cheerful countenance, "Don't, let her be for a while until she comes to you. She has always hated looking weak. Why do you think she would wait to get out of the public to cry every time InuYasha would say something to her? Think; how many times did you ever see her cry and I'm not talking about when she's watching those sappy movies."
Souta turned to Shigure with a glare, "What do you know, she's my sister. I know her better then anyone."
Ayame expression darkened, "Really, did you know she was almost raped back then and that Sesshomaru saved her and that she almost died from that guy who tried to rape her and his poisons? Did you know that her incarnation tried to kill her many times in the past? Did you know that when she first met Sesshomaru he tried to kill her and the only thing that saved her was the fact that she was holding onto Tetsusaiga? Also did you know she worried everyday that she would be killed and no one would be able to tell your family?"
Souta grit his teeth and clenched his fists, knowing that Ayame was right that Kagome didn't tell him much about the Sengoku Jidai and what she was going through there. Houjo stood up and left the room to talk to Kagome only to find her outdoors, staring at the sunset a wistful expression on her face. "So that's how the final battle ended…"
Kagome turns around from where she was sitting her head craned upwards to look at him, "Yeah, I really don't like remembering it."
Houjo sat besides her allowing his gaze to drift heavenward, "I can imagine. I just wish you could have trusted me with all of this."
Kagome sighed her head dropping to her knees, "I wished I could have told you also, but the thing is would you have believed me. You want to know how I met the Sohmas?"
He agreed and listened to her, "They came up to me on the first day of school. I was surprised that they had heard about 'the sick girl' when Ayame, the class president spoke, 'So you're Higurashi Kagome? Our ancestor was right you are a looker.' I gapped at him but when he named his ancestor I couldn't help but fling my arms around him and cry. I was so happy to find out that Miroku was able to continue his family line. He was stunned that I hugged him when Shigure and Hatori appeared and they were stunned as well. Ayame explained who I was and then Shigure glomped me and thus started our long and glorious friendship."
Houjo cracked a thin smile, "So they knew…"
Kagome nodded, "Miroku kept excellent records and from what I hear he managed to get a nude picture of me and Sango bathing. Sango and I spent the next couple of years searching for it but we could never find it."
Houjo grinned playfully, "I wouldn't mind seeing that."
Kagome whacked him on the arm playfully, "Hentai. But, thanks for making me feel better."
She stood and entered the house followed by Houjo. Hatori met up with her, "So why was Sesshomaru here?"
Kagome sighed, "He wanted to here about the final battle…"
"You mean the one where you died?"
Kagome looked at him surprised. He continued, "Our ancestor Miroku kept excellent records and I was the only one other then Akiko-sama to have read the entire thing."
