Kagome the Inuyokai

Chapter 2

A/N: chapter one turned out rather well if I do say so myself. I hope you all like it, I am posting the rewritten story up to the point it originally was posted before I post the next chapter though I will probably give it a day or two even if it is already written.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!

Sesshomaru landed near the well with Kagome, "Return before the end of the day," it was an order not a request that gave no room for argument. He plucked the kitsune from her shoulder then sat near the well to wait. She sighed, she had not planned to be gone long anyway so there was no use arguing. She slid her legs over the side of the well and let herself fall in, where she was engulfed in the mystical light which transported her to the modern era of her birth.

Kagome climbed out of the well with a sigh, this would be her last visit to her home, the last time she would get to see her mother, brother and grandfather. The thought brought tears to her eyes which she quickly wiped away, before she climbed out of the well and exited the well house.

She walked to the house and it was quickly apparent that no one was home, she sighed, it seemed she would be forced to make Sesshomaru wait longer than she had expected. She refused to leave without saying goodbye to her family. For that she would risk his anger.

Kagome walked in the house and up the stairs, her mind going through the items she would take with her, and those she would leave behind. Once she reached her room she put her bag down, and went into the shower, enjoying the luxury of running water one last time. Once she finished bathing herself, she wrapped a towel around her body and her hair. Once back in her room she tossed on some sweat pants and a tank top before she checked downstairs to see if her family was home yet, when she went into the kitchen, she noticed a note on the refrigerator. She plucked it off and read it.

Kagome,

If you are reading this we haven't returned from our vacation in America, and we are sorry we missed you. There are plenty of supplies in the house but if you need anything I left some money for you in your bank account.

With all my love,

Mom

Kagome fell to her knees tears falling freely to her cheeks, this was her last visit and she would not even get to say goodbye. She sat there holding the note to her chest and cried tears of mourning, mourning her family, her life, and her humanity.

It was almost an hour later that she got herself up and wiped her tears, she could not change the fact that her family wasn't here, and she still had to get herself ready to return one last time. She knew she would readily use her bank account to purchase the items necessary which she did not have readily at the house.

She returned to her room first and emptied her bag, throwing away forgotten homework, and empty wrappers. When she came across the dagger she found herself sitting on her bed staring at it, wondering how such a small thing could turn her into a inuyokai. Suddenly she heard a voice in her head, Mistress, I am glad you have finally decided to talk to me, my name is Setsusaiga, I have been waiting. Kagome looked around her wondering if she had gone crazy. The thought of her being crazy only made the voice in her mind laugh, You are not crazy Mistress Kagome, I am the spirit of the dagger, it will be my job to help you through your transformation. I am so glad the Lord of West finally chose a human to give me to.

Kagome stared at the dagger, "Sesshomaru did not give me the dagger, it was stolen from him and the thief cut me with it." In her mind's eye she saw a pure white dragon with pink accents, it seemed to be a western style dragon, which confused her. She watched with her mind's eye as the dragon examined it's claws. That is most disturbing Mistress, I will need you to allow me to join with your mind, it will be more beneficial to you, simply believe your mind open to me and it will happen.

Kagome took a deep breath and did as the dragon in her head asked, immediately she was flooded with the memories of how the dragon was placed within the dagger, experiencing it through Setsusaiga's eyes, the pain was intense. First a ryuu yokai had been caught, and brought to the western lands, then they had bound her with spells and rituals. The most painful was when they had killed her, drawing her soul out of her body and into the dagger.

Once Kagome's mind was joined to Setsusaiga's the dragon curled up in her head, Now that I know the full circumstances which have come to pass, I can tell you a couple things before I rest and you get yourself ready to return to the feudal era. First, do not mourn the fact that you are not getting to say goodbye to your loved ones in this era, it is very likely you will see them again since you will be an inuyokai. Also trust Sesshomaru, though your encounters with him thus far have not been the best he is an honorable yokai and you will not come to harm while staying with him, now I must rest wake me when you return to the feudal era. With that the dragon curled up in her head and went to sleep.

Kagome sighed but it made her feel better that she would see her family again, so she put the dagger back on the bed, before sitting at her desk and pulling out a pen and paper to write down the things she needed.

Undergarments were first on the list, she really did not like the undergarments of the feudal era so she would bring as many as possible with her. Next on the list was a medicine kit with extra supplies, it would not last forever but she would have it as long as it lasted. Kagome then listed a few books she wished to take with her. She also put work out clothing on the list. Kagome sighed, not being able to think of what she needed, so she stood up and went to the closet to get her suitcase out.

First she packed the books she had put on her list, then her whole underwear drawer was emptied into it, then she bit her nail thinking that she would have to buy another suitcase as well. She went to the desk and wrote that down on the list, as well as writing down coloring books and crayons for Shippou and Rin.

She picked up the list examining it before she nodded to herself and went and stripped her comfortable clothes off and putting on a clean pair of underwear and bra. Then grabbed a dark blue skirt and a white blouse with a low neckline and put those on as well.

She grabbed her purse, making sure she had her debit card and keys to the house before she left the house to go shopping.

Meanwhile Shippou was watching Sesshomaru pace by the well. It amused the kit to see the Lord of the west agitated because of Kagome. Every so often he would glance down the well before continuing to pace. Shippou simply sat on the edge of the well swinging his feet, Kagome always came back so he so was not worried.

A few hours passed before it seemed Sesshomaru's patience snapped, the sun was starting to go down and he wished to be back at his palace and have Kagome set up in her room by dusk. At this rate that was not possible. Shippo tried to distract him with conversation only to be ignored by the yokai lord, though he kept trying at regular interval, "So how did you end up with the dagger anyways Sesshomaru-sama?"

Sesshomaru glanced at Shippo, considering having conversation with the kit, it would certainly pass the time, and waiting for Kagome to return was grating on his nerves, "The dagger is a curse and a compromise placed on me by my father."

Shippo nearly jumped out of his skin when Sesshomaru responded, "how is it a curse to you when Kagome is the one turning into a yokai." Sesshomaru stared out into the horizon, "My father hated the fact that I despised humans and was determined to get me to at least tolerate them, for my half-brother and Izayoi's sake, this dagger was one of his ploys, it will not only transform the one cut by it, once she is transformed I will not be able to mate any other besides her though that restriction will not apply to her."

Shippo gaped at Sesshomaru, "So you are going to make Kagome your mate?" He nodded, "when the dagger was made they used my blood to bind the one transformed to me. She will technically be able to mate with another besides me though she will have a hard time with it."

"Kagome isn't going to like having her choice taken away," Shippo stated. "This Sesshomaru is aware of that fact. This Sesshomaru had not planned to have a mate any time soon."

Suddenly the well lit up and Sesshomaru leaned over the side and narrowed his eyes at Kagome who had three large clothed cases with her and her usual pack on her back, she tossed the first two up and out of the well and then started to climb with the last one and the one on her back. Sesshomaru picked her up out of the well.

"Sorry I am late Sesshomaru, it took slightly longer than I had expected to get everything I wanted to keep with me since I am staying in this era," she turned back to the well and pulled out a few sutras to make sure the well was sealed and unusable before she turned back to Sesshomaru, "I am ready to go now."

"hn," was the only response he gave as he formed his spirit cloud under them and her baggage, and took off in the direction of the west.
