Chapter 2
Koga and Kagome had reentered Sanctuary after the slight fiasco. Kagome had taken down her barrier and all she wanted to do was become invisible. When Amaretsu and Midiriko inform others of Kagome, they do not necessarily share everything and all the details.
"You have a lot of questions to answer missy" stated Tabby. "Yes, and they call me crazy" added Tia. The rest of the girls shook their heads in agreement. "You want me to explain now" squeaked out Kagome, looking back and forth between them. "Don't you have some other gossip to relish in besides what makes me Kagome" sighed out Kagome. "No, not really you're the shiny new toy" stated Sunny. "Fine, how about tomorrow while we're shopping" "No, it has to be now. The guys won't be with us tomorrow" said Amanda; everyone shook their head in agreement. "Fine, what do you want to know?"
For the next six hours it was question and answer time. Not only did everyone learn her story thoroughly, but she in turn learned their stories. It was at this time that she turned to Ephiny, "You know you never told me your story" stated Kagome. Ephiny was figuring out how to reply when the large mirror lit up and out came a bloody Gabrielle. "Gabby" exclaimed Kagome as she ran to her. "Ro-romans are attacking the village." Kagome quickly healed Gabrielle and went through the mirror.
"I really wish she would stop doing that" stated Madara. "Shouldn't you be going after her" stated Koga. "That's Amazon country and right now I don't think they're too fond of the male race. It is best to let her do this her way. She does have her elemental friends with her" At this time Ephiny spoke up, "I believe she was meant to go at that time. After all she saw me become a dark-hunter and at the time I thought she lost a few marbles because she told me I will see you soon; needless to say that I hadn't seen her in a few centuries. That is probably because she was speaking from her point of view though.
-Meanwhile in the Past-
"Gabby get to the throne room" shouted out Kagome as she downed another Roman. The battle was over in a few hours in which Kagome took the time to teach the Amazon's the finer points of tracking and hiding your auras. It wasn't like Artemis ever helped them out. Kagome had spent at least two months there. In that time she had seen how Ephiny became a dark-hunter and told Artemis that if anything traumatic should happen to her that she would be sorry. After that she had returned to the large mirror. "I wonder if everyone's freaking out" and with that she stepped through the mirror and into Sanctuary.
-Back in the Present-
"How is it that you guys are sitting in the exact same positions and wearing the same exact outfits?" questioned a rather confused Kagome. "You just left moments ago" stated Tabby. "I was there for two whole months" said Kagome. "Maybe it because you're the Goddess of Time and time is irrelevant for you" stated Bride. "That makes sense I guess" said Kagome as she sat down. "So what happened?" asked a curious Amanda. "Ask Ephiny, she was there" So Ephiny recounted the stories. "So that's why the Amazon's were known throughout history as the best hunters. You trained them" stated Tabby. "I guess so" said Kagome while tilting her head.
"Anyways, not to change the subject, but we do have to figure out what Naraku's plan is this time" said Kagome looking at Madara. "And I know just the people to gather the information. After all you need stealth and cunning. Madara, I need Tobi" Madara looked at her with a dark grin and put on his mask and took on the Tobi persona, "Tobi is a good boy. He will look for the bad men for his little goddess" and with that he sped off. "What the hell was that" asked Tabby. "His alternate personality that embraces his inner child and Naraku is unaware of Tobi" "How are you still sane?" stated Amanda. "He's not that bad and he only becomes Tobi when the enemy needs to be caught off guard. Although, I should summon the others" and with that Kagome's charm bracelet with the charms from the Akatsuki started to glow. When they were done glowing there were eleven new people in Sanctuary.
"Oye, chibi. Why are we here?" asked Kisame. "I needed some people who are good at gathering information without getting caught" stated Kagome as she explained the situation. "Well, I guess we better go find Tobi, yeah. No telling what kind of mess he'll get in, yeah" stated Deidara. "Fine, just remember the rules. No blowing stuff up and Hidan so help me no sacrificing people" "Yeah, yeah" stated Hidan. At that moment they all took off, with instructions to meet at the ranch. "You have interesting friends" stated Sunny. "I know" said Kagome. "I think I will go home now and try to get some sleep before shopping tomorrow. Oh, before I forget. I didn't get a chance to give these to you guys; she handed Amanda a panda charm, a voodoo doll charm to Tia, a silver stake charm to Tabby, a sun charm to Sunny, a heart charm to Grace, a tarot charm to Selena, a coin charm to Tory, and a vet charm to Bride. Each of the charms has the ability to produce a barrier should there be danger around you, so that means wear them" with that Kagome headed home. "See you tomorrow, we'll bring our kids too" stated Grace. They have kids. That means I will need to produce some sort of protection for them thought Kagome.
It was several hours later and Kagome was awake. She had produced eight different flowers made out of ice, which would serve as an evil protector. These eight flowers would go into the children's rooms and she also made sutras that would be placed at every window and door entrance to her friends' homes and shops. Once Kagome finished she tried to get to sleep, but found that she couldn't. She was used to sleeping in a group. She had developed quite the pack mentality. It was found out after she returned home and received phone calls from each of her friends that a large mirror was placed in each of their homes and they each received small communication mirrors. She explained the large mirrors and told them that she would explain the communicators tomorrow. Kagome was pacing back and forth when she decided she would deliver her protective trinkets tonight since she couldn't sleep. Kagome decided to ride her horse that she had received from Kyrian and Julian during her stay in Ancient Greece. She just couldn't bring herself to leave them behind so she made them immortal. She had decided to name the horses Kyrian and Julian.
She decided to ride Julian to her friends' houses. The only one she couldn't ride to was Tory's. Tory would be receiving a protective trinket to place in her child's room. Although, since she had godlike powers too, it would be redundant to place sutras everywhere. She would focus on the child's room. Kagome's first stop was Sanctuary. When she arrived she got some interesting looks. "You know most people just walk here or they drive. Never seen someone ride a horse here" said Dev as he watched Kagome place sutras on the windows and doorways. "What are you doing?" asked Remi. "I am placing protective sutras on the windows and doors. Being that anyone is allowed here it will just glow blue should those with evil intentions arrive. Think of it as a precautionary tool" stated Kagome as she got back on Julian and headed towards Grace's house. Kagome had begun placing sutras on all the windows. These sutras were different than the ones on Sanctuary, if anything evil entered it was automatically purified and Kagome would feel it and would come running. The sutras themselves once placed would become invisible to all except for her. Kagome was about to place one on the front door when it opened and it was placed on Julian instead, with Grace laughing. "That is too funny. You opened the door too soon" "Give that back to me" said Kagome as she placed it on the door instead. "Kagome what are you doing?" Kagome told them what she was doing. "Here put this is the children's room. It will provide a barrier should evil get passed the sutras" stated Kagome. "Why are you doing this now?" "Vigilance, okay no not really. I just couldn't sleep so I decided to do it tonight" stated Kagome. "How did you get here?" asked Grace. "On Julian" stated Kagome. "I didn't bring her here. Let alone on me" stated a rather defensive Julian. "The horse's name is Julian" stated Kagome pointing to the horse. "Is that…" began Julian. "Yes it is. The horses that you and Kyrian gave Madara and me are now immortal. I couldn't just leave them there, so I made them immortal and name them Kyrian and Julian" explained Kagome. "Grace, what are you doing?" asked Kagome as she looked at Grace who was trying so hard not to laugh. "I just can't help it, no matter what I do I can't seem to picture Julian as a horse" "I'm going to Manda Panda's now" "Don't let her hear you call her that" stated Grace waving her off. "But I like her reactions" pouted Kagome as she rode down the street to Amanda's.
Kagome stopped at every house and had just reached Bride's home when the door opened. "Everyone else called and said to expect you to come here" stated Bride as she watched Kagome put the last sutra in place. Bride's was the last house to place protection on. "I heard you couldn't sleep" said Bride. At this time Fury and Vane were in the kitchen. Kagome plopped down on the sofa next to Bride. "I have a huge ranch and everyone is looking for information on Naraku. I am not used to sleeping alone anymore" she told Bride. She showed Bride that ever since she began her adventures, not once did she sleep alone. "You've developed a pack mentality" stated Vane as he too saw what Bride had been shown. "That makes sense" stated Bride. "Spend the night here. That way I can be sure you won't try to get out of shopping tomorrow" continued Bride. Kagome agreed to stay and she fell asleep on the couch. Sometime during the night; some young pups were drawn to her and went and slept next to her. The next morning Kagome woke up very much warm and sweating. She looked around her and noticed that it was children sleeping next to her in their wolf forms. They didn't have a human form yet. However, Kagome being Kagome could care less about their forms. At that moment she just wanted to have some breathing room. It was at that moment that Bride came down and was about to announce that it was time to wake up when see took in the sight and grinned, "I'll go wake up Vane" "I'm already here. What's the problem?" asked Vane. Bride pointed to the couch and was surprised at what he saw, "They don't normally warm up to anyone that quickly" By this time the older pack members arrived and each of them had the same reaction. "Okay, enough gawking. I am sweating here" stated Kagome as she watched them watching her. "Oh, right" stated Fury as he went to scoop up the pups. No sooner had he done this then the pups woke up and they jumped off the couch. Kagome was finally free to move.
After breakfast Kagome rode Julian back to the ranch so she could go change. After she was done changing the kids and girls were there for their shopping trip. At that moment Zetsu popped in to give Kagome an update. After learning that there was some sketchy characters she told him to keep an eye on them and continue with the updates. The girls and kids were then off for the shopping trip.
