Chapter 5: Back to the future
"Miroku, Sango and Shippo can stay here, we'll be quick I promise!" Kagome said as she pressed her hands together after putting on her usual yellow backpack. Her friends smiled in an understanding manner. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, he knew this trip would at least take a day.
"Don't worry about us Kagome! We'll be fine, we'll be here and once everyone is back we'll continue searching for those jewel shards" Sango winked at her reassuring her instantly.
Miroku sighed dreamily as he wrapped his arm around the demon hunter's waist, "Alone with my precious Sango! I must have ascended to the heavens!" His eyes shimmer as he stares into Sango's eyes. The demon hunter just flushes bright red and shoves him away.
"A-as if you perverted monk! I'll keep my eye on you!" She tightly holds her huge boomerang as she walks away from him and starts to set up camp. Shippo shakes his head and follows after her to help, Kirara trots behind following her master. Miroku pouts slightly as he watches Sango walk off, he then follows after waving goodbye to Kagome and the others.
"Alrighty, um, I saw that you went really fast earlier so I don't think you'd have a problem keeping pace with Inuyasha" Kagome said as she climbed onto her half demon friend's back, the two were a blur that she didn't even see what they used to get here. At this Inuyasha grinned proudly, he held Kagome in place as he looked behind him. The young teens already had her scythe in hand.
"I'm sure we can keep up no problem" Maka giggle as she closed her eyes. She envisioned the wings on Soul's pole like she always would. Soul shined brightly as his blade shrunk and wings appeared. They fluttered as if they were stretching out. With a small starting run the two began to fly. Caught off guard Inuyasha ran after them.
"Hey did you forget we were the ones leading you back!" He shouted. Kagome giggled as she watched Maka look back and give a peace sign. Which of course only irritated Inuyasha.
~o0o~
It had been a couple of hours since the group departed from Sango, Miroku and Shippo. All four managed to arrive in Inuyasha's forest by sunset. They approached the well and Soul transformed back. He let out a big yawn and stretch. Kagome giggled as the weapon reminded her of her old fat cat Buyo.
"Come on let's go Inuyasha, you might as well join us, it'd be lonely if you stay here all by yourself" Kagome said as she threw her backpack into the well.
Inuyasha blushed slighty as he crossed his arms and looked away, "W-who said I'd get lonely! Fine I'll go only because those things are running around your era and you need protection" he grabbed Kagome by the waist as he prepared to jump in as well.
"I think I can handle protecting her" Maka shrugged. Inuyasha growled as he jumped into the well, disappearing instantly. Soul and Maka laugh as the two jumped in hand in hand.
Blue light surrounded the four, and they seemed to float down, a few seconds later the light disappeared and they were on the ground. From a distance they could hear the noises of the city. With Maka's Soul Perception, she recognized their surroundings.
With the young priestess in his arms, Inuyasha leapt out of the in ease. Maka internally groaned and decided to let Soul take a rest from his scythe form, so the two embarked on climbing the rope ladder Kagome had installed in well for when Inuyasha wasn't there to help her climb out. They ascended the rope ladder within seconds, whilst Inuyasha snickered, of coursing earning himself with a small slap on the shoulder.
"Oh! Are these yours?" Kagome said as she bent down to pick up two backpacks. Maka and Soul brightened up, they had forgotten that they had left them at the door entrance. The two quickly ran for their backpacks and thanked the young priestess.
Soul perked up when he suddenly remembered his motorcycle, it was, hopefully, still parked near the shrine stairs entrance. He rushed out and ran all the way down the shrine to see if his beloved bike was still there.
Kagome raised an eyebrow in confusion as he watched the white-haired weapon dash out the door, "Oh don't mind him! That idiot just forgot that he brought his motorcycle" Maka said as she dug through her bag.
She took out a small skull shaped compact mirror Kid had given to her before she and Soul left. It was a new form of making communication easier. Kid had planned on giving each student at the academy one, but he had wanted to test out the new product, so he gave one to Blackstar, Tsubaki, Maka and Soul. Being the best friend of the new Shinigami did have its little perks once in a while.
Carefully, since this was being the first time using the product, Maka opened it. Curious, both Kagome and Inuyasha leaned in forward and observed her action. The meister began tracing the numbers 42-42-564 on the little mirror, it began to ring much to Kagome's surprise.
Maka giggled as she watched Kagome who stared in awe, whilst Inuyasha just watched in confusion since he was not fully informed in this era's technologies.
"Maka?" A voice from the mirror was heard. A light shined and projected an image of a guy with black hair and three white lines going around his head.
"Hey Kid it's Maka reporting in! Guess this mirror thing really works well" the meister smiled happily when she saw her friend. Kid smiled and nodded.
"Indeed! Witch technology is quite extraordinary! I have to thank them even more for this successful invention!" Kid said excitedly. Behind him a pair of girls popped out. They began to wave and shout once they found out who Kid was talking to.
"Hey Maka how's Japan treating you so far?" A girl with long hair asked. Next to her a short blonde-haired girl was jumping up and down, "You should eat some ramen I heard it was the best!"
Maka giggled at her friend's antics while Kid shushed and shooed them away as he was in the middle of an official DWMA call. They giggled and decided to leave and let Kid do his thing.
After a quick run on things and introducing Kagome and Inuyasha Kid sighed. This made Kagome raise an eyebrow. "Is something wrong?" The young priestess asked.
"It will be a little problematic if you're taking out a nest in the past, you two need to find out why these kishin eggs were able to cross through that well, something is not right here, they lack the power to travel through time so something from the past must have caused them, since the kishin eggs are from the future" Kid hummed to himself as he was lost in own train of thoughts.
"Soul and I will take care of things and we'll let you know of any updates" Maka said. She frowned slightly, her and Soul's soul were powerful enough to travel across, and the only way a kishin egg would be able to cross the well would be because of a shard of the shikon jewel.
"I trust you will Maka, good luck on your mission and come back safely, I must leave, I will consult with the witches to see if they have any opinion on this, and tell Soul I said hi" the young grim reaper smiled before waving goodbye. The projection stopped and Maka closed the small compact mirror.
Kagome frowned and pursed her lips as she thought to herself. Who could have caused this, the only people who were probably strong enough to pass through the well were either Kikyo, the strong priestess, or Naraku, who was currently in possession of some jewels. It had been a while since the group had last seen Kikyo and knew nothing about her whereabouts.
"Oi! I think Naraku might be behind this..." Inuyasha muttered, what was that half demon up to? Was he trying to make up a new type of army with an enemy that was unknown to Inuyasha and his friends.
"Who's Naraku?" Maka tilted her head to the side in confusion. Kagome frowned as she began to think where to start with the story of Naraku the half demon.
~0o0~
"Mom we have guests!" Kagome shouted as she entered the kitchen. The young teen tsked when she couldn't find her mom anywhere, it was strange, she would always at least leave a note for grandpa. But he was nowhere to be found either. The priestess shrugged and began to dig through the cupboards looking for tea to serve her guest.
"So, this Naraku guy is the best chance we have on stopping the kishin eggs..." Soul muttered. He sat on the couch next to Maka whilst Inuyasha sat on the floor crossed legged. The half demon nodded, he had finished explaining the whole Naraku ordeal to the pair. He was starting to get nervous, Naraku could be plotting against them and they weren't even aware of it.
"For now, we'll rest and head out tomorrow back to the past to find Naraku" Kagome set the tea on a kotatsu table they had in the living room. She began to serve everyone a cup, she sat back and sighed, something just felt uneasy, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She shook her head and ignored it.
The four spent the evening talking, much to Inuyasha's dismay, he was patient for the first hour, but then started complaining. Kagome started to get nervous, she glanced over at the clock, it was almost elven and her mom and brother weren't home yet.
"Oi Kagome? Are you listening?" Inuyasha huffed, he crossed his arm annoyed that Kagome had ignored his question.
"Hm what was that Inuyasha?" Kagome forced a smiled as she turned to her half demon friend. She tried her best to hide her worry.
Before Inuyasha could repeat his question Maka interrupted, "Kagome is something wrong? Your soul is feeling uneasy" Maka blushed and looked down at her lap, "Oh sorry I didn't mean to pry" Soul shook his head but understood, his meister was just worried for their new friend.
But before Kagome could say what was actually on her mind Maka had jumped up, her eyes widening as she ran outside, Soul instantly ran after her. "Maka? Soul?" Kagome asked as she went to follow.
Inuyasha frowned, he sniffed the air but could only smell Kagome's mom's scent along with her kid brother, along with an unfamiliar scent. He stood up to follow everyone.
"Kishin egg!" Maka yelled. He looked over towards Soul who just nodded and transformed. The meister practically flung herself down the shrine stairs with Soul in hand. She headed straight towards a mass of blackness corning poor Kagome's mom and her younger brother.
"Mom! Souta!" Kagome yelled as she ran towards the two. Inuyasha ran past the priestess and towards the two, scooping them up and out of harm's way as Maka let out a huge scream and brought down a shining scythe down on the black mass.
All that was left was a shining red orb which Soul gladly took. His mouth practically drooled when he grabbed the soul. Opening his mouth widely, showing his sharp teeth, he swallowed it. He smacked his lips and thanked Maka for the meal.
Everyone watched in awe and slight disgust. "Oh my god mom, Souta are you two okay!?" Kagome practically ran into her mother's arms and pulled Souta in as well. Tears brimmed at her eyes threatening to fall, she almost lost her mom and little brother.
~0o0~
"Maka, Soul! Thank you so much for saving my mom and little brother" Kagome bowed, "Oh thanks for taking them to safety as well Inuyasha" the girl gave him a warm small, the half demon blushed and scratched his cheek.
"Feh it was nothing, next time I'll be the one to kill the monster" He crossed his arms across his chest. His face growing even more red as Kagome's mom and brother thank him as well.
"Not a problem, it is our job, right Soul?" the meister poked her weapon in the ribs, he flinched a bit thinking that Maka sometimes couldn't control her own strength.
"And we're the best at our job" Soul grinned. Kagome smiled fondly at her two new companions before turning to her mom and scolding her for staying out so late, of course, Ms. Higurashi apologized for staying too long at her friend's house, she also explained the lack of notes, her grandpa had won the lottery for a spa in the next town over and was gone for the week.
After a few minutes of discussion everyone decided it was time to head to bed, after all they a big day ahead of them. Ms. Higurashi laid out some extra futons in Kagome's and Souta's room. Inuyasha and Soul would sleep in Souta's room whilst Maka in Kagome's room.
Maka sighed as she closed her eyes and tried going to sleep, "Um hey Maka" Kagome turned to face the floor where her new friend laid.
"Yeah? What's up Kagome?" Maka opened her eyes and stared up into the bed where Kagome was laying.
"Do you sometimes...feel useless? Like maybe your friends are in trouble and you can't really do much to help" Kagome played with a strand of her black hair.
Maka smiled sadly which went unnoticed in the darkness in the room, "Yes, even now as one of the best students at my school, even with my rare soul which contains so much power, there are times that I've felt like that, but I know that I'm not alone" she bit her lip as she began to think about an old friend, Crona who sealed themselves on the moon. Maka shook her head, just thinking about it brought her to tears.
"Thanks for the advice Maka, I really needed it" Kagome whispered as she let out a big yawn. She turned around and cuddled in her blankets, as did Maka with the blankets she was given. Soon the two teen girls were fast asleep.
