Chapter 2
~ Oh Friends of Mine ~
"YOU LOST THAT FIRST GAME TO HUSTLE ME!" Kagome's voice could be heard from even outside the Bull's Eye Bar.
Dante tried his absolute hardest not crack a grin and pretend to be serious, "Gomes, really it was just beginners luck."
It had been a few weeks since that raining day the half demon and miko met. At first Kagome had just tried to settle into new life, trying not to think about Dante. In a way she was still trying to distance herself from her past life and felt Dante couldn't be apart of her new life, but whenever she looked at his red coat on the couch she started to think about him. She had no place else to put it. She was still unpacking her stuff and she didn't want to loss the red coat, though it would have probably solved her problem. Not only was it making her think about him, but it was also making her feel incredibly guilty. First it was the thought of him walking in the rain after they left made her feel bad, then all she gave him was her name as thank you that was lame, then she realize once she got home how expensive it was. So she had made the decision to go back to bar to find him to return the damn coat.
Dante had thought about her, it wasn't every day he got to talk to someone with spiritual powers. At the moment business had gone slow and there wasn't anything keeping his mind preoccupied so he spent his time thinking about her. He remembered those brown doe eyes, behind them he could sense a person that had been through a lot, someone who cared for everyone, and someone who was…lonely. He hadn't meant to look so deeply into her, but he had accidentally done that and now he knew without a doubt he was going to get involve with whatever problems she had. He would bet God a million dollars that it was going to happen. Though, he still owned God a million dollars for that whole the Raiders vs. the Patriots game a few years back.
He had returned back to the bar a week after their meeting, without his signature red coat. He hated to say it, but he felt kind of naked without it. He did have another, but it was at the tailor's after some 'unforeseen' evidences had happen to it. He had two coats and usually one or the other had to be repaired.
To his surprise when he arrived at the bar he saw her again, sitting in the same place where they had first met, with his coat place on the wooden counter. Ever since that day they had made it a silent agreement to met up at that bar every Friday night and just hang out.
"But it was unfair!" Kagome complain trying to get out of paying.
Dante couldn't help but let a grin crack through and said, "You know either way still owe me twenty bucks."
Kagome sighed and took her wallet from her purse and took out a twenty.
Dante held up his hand to receive the money, but got a glimpse of what was in her wallet. "Kagome you're complaining about a twenty and yet you have like five hundreds in there. What the hell?"
She put the twenty in his hand and put her wallet away "It's not about the money! It's about honor! You cheated!"
Dante smirked and shrugged "No such thing as honor in pool."
She rolled her eyes and sat down at the nearest table with her pool stick still in her hand. Dante reach and grab the chair next to her, but instead Kagome whacked his hand way with the cue sticks making sure to add some of her purifying powers to it, "Don't you dare. I'm still mad at you." She said angrily not bothering to look at him.
Dante scolded at the burnt mark she had left there. Damn it, she knew her purify powers would hurt him. If he had ever gotten injured by a normal person or a demon, it would heal in no time, but holy powers were a different story. This mark would burn a least for next couple of days.
Instead of taking Miko's warning and back off, the half demon grabbed a chair from another table sat down just an inch out of range from Kagome's hitting range. He sat there with a smug look on his face and arms over his chest. He glanced at her with that cocky position as if challenging her powers. Kagome glared back not backing down. Neither of them seemed to realize this, but no longer a challenged of who was right or who was wrong, but nature of the ancient blood that flooded with in them. That of Demonic and of Holy blood that ran through their bodies. Not that one would ever hurt the other badly; they were chain too tight to the bond of companionship to ever do that to each other, but it's in their nature to, for one had to be dominate over the other. This has always been a battle that as been fought for control over their races for thousands of years. It really couldn't be helped.
Kagome tab cue stick just at the edge of his boot as a warning, while Dante tab his boot in rhythm to ridicule her. Kagome glared back not liking how this supposed friend was teasing her. Hey eyes wonder over to small bowl of peanuts still harmlessly on the table. She grinned at the idea forming in her head. She took several peanuts from bowl and lined the all up side by side from each other.
Dante wonder what the heck she was going to do. It wasn't like he had a peanut allergy so what was she… "Ouch!" He said rubbing the side of his face. He just got attack by a flying peanut. What the- peanuts aren't suppose to hurt! He looked at Kagome and could see her sly smile, and then she flicked another peanut at him. It hit him on the side of his chin causing a flame pain on that area. Damn her and those priestess powers! Clever transferring her power in those nuts he had to admit. "Ouch!" He said feeling another one had just hit him on the nose! He looked at her seeing the sly grin on her face as she ready another peanut at him. Dante just grinned right back and took one of the peanut she had thrown at him and place it in his mouth and ate it. "Thanks Gomes!" He said leaning back in his seat. He could already tell the nuts had lost whatever power they had awhile ago. Kagome hadn't put a lot of power in them to start out with and it eventually fade away. He could hear a low growl come from her small throat.
"Whatever Dante…" Kagome said picking up her things and leaving. It wasn't that she couldn't win. She planning on sending napkin balls of doom, but she could sense the bartender getting irritated with the mess she was making. So she decided to back off but she'll get him later.
Dante smile as he declared himself the winner. He watched her as she walked right out of the door with every head in the room turned to watch her walk out of the door. As much as Dante didn't like other guys looking at her there wasn't much he could do. Kagome was very attractive single women. Heck who wouldn't be looking at her, he was caught staring at her when he had first met her. He could feel her present going farther away as the room got colder. Dante smirked and decide to go home; because he knew next Friday they would be doing this again.

Dante made his way into the building with the neon lights spelling out 'Devil May Cry'. There he found the three women that had stayed with him all those weeks ago. Trish was sitting on his desk play with his guitar, while Lucia and Lady were playing around of pool. Yes most men would be happy to have pretty women hang their house, not particularly him. For him, having these three girls around his pad, was like an older brother having his three sisters playing in his room when he just wanted to be left alone. Though he wouldn't really know what it was like to have sisters, he only had his twin brother Vergil until he was eight. But it was the best way he could describe his relationship with them, he cared about each of these girls to some degree and he would damn his he allowed anyone to hurt them.
However at times he could feel that maybe Trish may have wanted more out the relationship then he wanted. But the rule about sister absolutely applied to her for the fact his look completely like his mom, he like to think of her as his long lost sister he never knew. Lucia and Lady were completely content with how he saw them. That made everything a lot easier. Though he had to admit he got along with Lady the best. Aside from this the girls don't ever really bother him. It's usually only when they have missions they have trouble with do they ever call on him.
"Did you all get evicted from your places or something?" He said seeing everyone made themselves at home.
They all gave a sheepish smile, but knew he didn't mind too much that they were there.
The red head Lucia put her cue stick down on his pool and said, "Enzo told us he found another job for you."
Dante raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah so… What does that have to do with any of you?"
Lady crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Dante did you already forget what we talk to you about when we first came."
"It's about evil right?" he said faintly remembering the conversation.
The brunette sighed heavy, "Yes, because there is such a mass of evil coming here. We're afraid it's going after you."
"Me!" Dante said know they now what they were trying to do. They were trying to babysit him! "What idiot would try and take me on?"
"I seriously doubt they would want to fight you, but you have a lot of things that demons would want."
"Like what?" He said regretting it because he knew it was a stupid question.
"The two amulets of the Underworld." Lady said.
"The staff of Nirvana" Lucia said.
"Force Edge." Trish said from the desk.
"Being the son of Sparda!" They all said at once.
Dante rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright, all convenient reasons. But how can you be so sure."
"Why would anything want to come here? When you're here?" Trish said finally losing interest with the guitar and placed it down. "Anyway the plan is if you go out of town one of us will escort you, while the other two will stay behind and keep an eye on your place and make sure no one tries to break in. Sounds good to you?"
He already knew whether or not he likes it they were still going to do it. Especially if it was those three working together. When you look at them you can't really see anything they could possibly have in common. They were all very different Lucia with her red hair, bronze skin, and her quiet personality. Then Lady with her brown hair, two color eyes, and her practical sense of things. Finally Trish with her dirty blond hair, the face of his mother, and her…destructive way of doing things. The only thing they really had in common was that they all wanted to do the right thing and when they set their mind to something they got it done no matter what.
"Whatever," he said taking a seat on his sofa. "It's not like I ask the Babe Patrol to come."
All three of them rolled their eyes at his smart remark.
"By the way, what happen to your face?" Lady asked. Dante gave her an odd look. "There are some small dots on your face." She said walking over bending down to his face level on the sofa and pointed at one.
"I'd notice them too, but I didn't want to be rude." Lucia standing next to Lady and poke his cheek. Her cool finger made contact with the burning pain on his now remembered being inflicted. Kagome… "They're also on your nose and chin. What happen?"
Trish went over to take a look herself. She looked down at him and couldn't believe what she saw. It just couldn't be. But there they were three small burnt marks… by holy power. A power that was fear by many demons of high and low calibers even Mundus feared such power. She herself had experiences such power once when she had work for Mundus the Lord of the Underworld. He had sent her on various missions to prepare her to fight Dante. On one she had fought a man with this blessed power, before she even show an sign of her demonic power the man knew who she was. He was a priest and had quickly known she was a dangerous and attack her with his weapon a wipe. To say she had walked away from that battle unharmed would be an understatement. She had barley crawled out of the battle with her limps still attached. True she was able to kill him, but the two demons she had brought with her turned to ash when he had only just tapped them on the shoulder and he almost hack her leg completely off with that wipe. She still had the scar to prove it.
The marks on Dante's face were defiantly holy damage, but they weren't critical. They just brunt the top of his skin, nothing his body couldn't take care of in a few days. Whoever inflected these didn't what to hurt him too bad (Whether a lot or little holy power still hurt a demons), and Dante must of known them since he didn't seem to bother by it. It couldn't be Lady though; the brunette had been a decedent of a priestess, but she herself had no such power for her draw on. Who could it be?
Dante was getting a bit annoyed at everyone staring at him. He never told anyone of them about Kagome because… Because what he did on his personal time was his business! Besides that he didn't want to tell anyone a 110 pound girl was flicking peanuts at him. He was just happy that he had placed his black gloves on his hands so then didn't see the one were Kagome hit him with that stick. "Nothing out of the ordinary." He shrugged.
They all rolled their eyes again, typical Dante.
"Cilo'" A voice said. The voice that belongs to the guy Dante wanted to punch in the face.
There, closing the door to his shop was Enzo. Dante look angrily at the cubby Italian man. He was still angry at him for running his tab up so high. To be truthful Dante was usually always in debt usually because he caused a lot of damage demon hunting, but recently he had manage get himself out. Thanks to his GREAT business partner he was back in the hole. He had to go borrow money from Lady….again to pay off his debt.
"Nice to see Dante… Ladies." Enzo said trying to keep his eyes off of Dante's girls. It wasn't bad enough that Dante had not one but three of these girls, no that's was not what was killing him. It was the fact that Dante wouldn't let him look at them neither. Which Enzo was pretty sure they would all kick his ass if he did, but it would be worth it. How could Dante just sit there while three dazzling women surround him? Really? What was wrong with this boy!
Dante glared at the tubby man across the room from him. First Enzo used his bar tab and now he told the girls about his missions, and now he showed up in his house! This man wanted to die.
"So anyway, time to discuss your new job." Enzo said, deciding to stay as close to the exit as possible though it would do little good. "I managed to find you a job for 100,000 dollars over in Africa fighting off some kind of demonic gorilla. You up for it?"
Dante thought about, it was like twenty-four hour flight, it should take him three to four days to actually find the creature, then hopefully if God loved him the creature wouldn't be a minion of higher demon, and it would take him another twenty-four hours to fly back home. That was cutting it pretty short, what if he didn't make back on time to meet up with Kagome? No it wasn't that he wanted to hang out with her…he just thought it would be rude if he wasn't there like he always was. But over all he could use the money and the mission shouldn't be too hard. "Yeah sure." Dante finally answered.
"Sounds like fun, I'll go too." Trish said
Dante looked at her and tried to object, but was cut off by Lucia. "Well I guess that leaves Lady and me to watch things here. Unless you want to go." she turned to the brunette.
"Hey wait…" But Dante was cut off.
"Nah trekking through a humid jungle doesn't sound appealing at all. It's all yours Trish." Lady said.
"Don't I get a say…" Dante said.
"Great, I go pack my things." Trish said cut him off.
Okay that does it. If living with a women involves never being able to put your own two cent then he was never getting married. Well at least with Trish he should be able to get job done faster and not be late.

A Week Later…
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" Dante yelled as he plugged Rebellion into the creatures head and turned around the slice another in half. Trish had her hands full with seven red striped spider demons. No, late was an understatement! He wasn't going to make it at all!
XxXxX
Kagome sat quietly at the bar wondering where her pool buddy was. Why wasn't he here? Was he upset that she left those peanut burns on his face, or the burned mark on his hand? But it wasn't like Dante to throw a hissy fit over something like that and he seemed just content with eating those peanuts anyway. Maybe he was just running late… She sighed and ordered a drink while she waited for her friend.
XxXxX
Dante and Trish ran to catch up Monkey demon that started this whole mess. Why couldn't people tell the different between a monkey and a gorilla? Although his monkey was actually bigger then a gorilla… Dante sighed wishing he had a phone to call Kagome. Hell, even if he did it would have been destroyed, batter, crushed, blown up, or at the very least he wouldn't have a single out here. A growl left his throat as it started to rain on him. And now it would be wet.
XxXxX
Kagome sat quiet inside the bar, feeling uncomfortable being here alone. She couldn't help but wonder what was taking Dante so long. They both usually arrive at the same time so it was bothering her. Did she really do something wrong? Was he upset at her? She looked down at her watch finding that he was a half an hour late. She decided to wait a little longer before she left.
XxXxX
Dante leapt from tree to the next as demon fist came crashing down destroying everything in its path. Trish gathered up a ball of electricity getting ready to hurl it at the demon. Dante was actually getting pretty irritated now. He was out in the rain, in a muggy jungle, fighting a smelling mutated ape! Well, things couldn't get any worst…
XxXxX
"I'm going to kill him." Kagome mutter as she declared the death of half demon.
She wanted cry for feeling like a damn fool, but she wasn't going to. She was in a public place and crying was unaccepted in front of people of course when they weren't people you knew. At least that what Sesshomaru told her. Actually it was just never to cry, but for her it was perfectly acceptable to cry at home alone. Why had she waited an hour for him? She should have just left and saved herself at the disappointment. She hated to be alone; it's why she came here every Friday, because she knew he would be here somehow. Expect now. She hated being alone because it left her with her thoughts. Like right now, how relied on her oh so called friend Dante. Didn't she learn her lesson nine years ago? She had put so much hope into Inuyasha, hoping that he would love her in return. For what? To have her heartbroken?
This is why she hated to alone. It brought her back to painful memories and when she found she was such an ugly person inside. Love was supposed to be the most beautiful in the whole world, but yet when Inuyasha had found his not in love with her but in Kikyou it made her bitter. Painful memories…
Kagome stood under the Goshinboku Tree the place where this all started. The jewel finally completed and Naruku gone forever. At everyone could finally live in peace.
"Kagome!" a voice called out belonging Inuyasha.
She turned around and smiled when she saw him. She took the jewel off from over her neck and held it close. She was going to do it. She was going to use the jewel to turn herself in half demon for him. Now they could be together and Inuyasha wouldn't have to alone anymore. Sure she was going to give up her human life, but her mom encourage her to follow her heart and Souta and Grandpa were fine with it as long she promise to visit them whenever she can.
"So how's it going?" she said deciding to start the conversation lightly.
Inuyasha frowned he looked down the ground, "Kikyou is still in pain, so much pain."
Kagome frowned also, Kikyou had been very badly injured after the fight with Naraku it wasn't like that they hadn't consider using the jewel to save her, but they were all afraid… afraid that the jewel would only get tainted by greed of keeping something alive when it should have been dead so long ago. Kikyou said so herself, that it would be so. They were all contemplating on what wish would be made. Kagome thought that if she made a wish of love a pure wish like that it would enough to make the jewel go away.
"I'm sorry to hear that." She said, truly meaning it.
Kikyou wasn't all bad. If it wasn't for Kikyou they wouldn't have be able to beat Naraku, but Kikyou was refusing just to let herself die, but was also she refuses to kill herself either because it was far too cowardly. So right know she was allowing herself slowing crumble away. She called off her soul collector and without the souls of dead women to replenish her crumbling body she was slowly dieing again. Kagome had a look at her just the other day. Kikyou's lovely face had cracks coming across her cheeks and forehead some were barely visible but were there, some making their way over her arms and to her neck. Then part of her left ear had broken loses and the tip of her nose was chipped off. You wouldn't think she would be in any pain when she looked calm and relax all the time. Kikyou usually ask just to be taken to a tree where she watch the village or in a field to watch the wind sway the flowers. Inuyasha with her 24/7, trying to make sure her final days were good ones.
Kikyou had asked her to make a wish on the jewel and make sure it was pure. She had suspected that if the wish was made with love one of the Key things to the jewel of four souls would be enough to get rid of it. The dead priestess had even admitted she was jealous of her way of being able reach Inuyasha. Kikyou believed that her love for Inuyasha was the key. Kagome had hoped her wish was what was needed to be done, but now when she looked into Inuyasha eyes she saw pain. He had to watch while the one he loved was in pain. How could she have thought her idea was good in anyway? It wasn't really love was it? It was selfishness. Then an idea hit her…
"Here," She said holding the jewel to Inuyasha. "Take it and give it Kikyou."
Inuyaha gave her a disbelief look then looked a little upset and said, "Kagome did you get stupid while I was gone? Kikyou already told us…"
She rolled eyes and put the jewel into her hand, "I know that… just tell Kikyou I know what she needs to wish for everyone one to be happy."
Inuyaha ears twitch as he tried to understand what she was talking about. "Well what should do I tell her?"
Kagome smiled, "For love."This wish was neither for Kikyou or her. It was a wish for his happiness. It wasn't a wish for them, so it wasn't selfish on their part; love never is at least it never should be.
"Well…If you think so…" Inuyasha said taking the jewel slowly, but not look too convent.
"Just go before I say…"
Inuyaha eyes became as big as dish plates were gone before she could get finish the words 'sit' out. Leaving her alone.
Kagome could feel silent warm tears streaming down her small face. Love… they say it hurt too.
XxXxX
Trish was tossed and knocked out against a tree. Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory his two most favorite guns and started firing at the gorilla size monkey that had just grown wings from his back. "God damn it go back to the Land of Oz already!" He said jumping up to its head, he put Ebony right between its eyes. "There no place like home." He fired his gun. Sending the demon falling to the ground, Dante leaped off and landed in a tree while the demon landed painfully on the ground. Dante jumped down from the tree and walked over the demon. He shook his head as he watched the demon try to get back up. He put his two guns away and took out Rebellion out. "Damn you, I could be having dinner with a pretty girl right now." He said as he'd advance to the monster. This monster was going to find out one of the reasons why his business was called 'Devil May Cry'.
XxXxX
Kagome place her head on cool wooden counter forcing her tears not to escape from her eyes. Stupid memories…
Kagome just stood there knowing her choice was the right one but still hurt no matter how many times she told herself that.
"Kagome…" Sango's voice said.
She looked behind her and found Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Kohaku looking at her with such sympathy in her eyes. Kagome quickly wiped away her tears from her eyes.
Sango immediately hugged her close friend, "It's okay." She loosed her hugged on her, but still held and smile sadly but still a smile. "Don't worry everything will be just fine."
"Yeah!" Shippo said as he hopped up and down on his little fox feet. "You way too good for him anyway."
She gave smile trying to keep her eyes from watery up again, "Yeah, so I've been told…"
Sango released her and looked at her with tree bark colored eyes and said. "Yes you are, Inuyasha nice guy and all, but you'll find another without a problem."
Kagome kept her smile the best she could, "Yeah I know." It wasn't that, she knew there were plenty fish in the sea and she could have anyone of them if she really wanted to, but she had fall in with Inuyasha first.
Shippo hopped into Kagome arm's where she instantly caught him she had a whole year of practices.
Miroku smiled, "Come, we'll escort you home."
Kagome smiled back graceful for Miroku. She needed to go home she need to and keep her dignity at least some of it. She would cry there and eat a tub of ice cream and come back. Eri, Yuki, and Ayumi always told her that after a guy breaks up with you go through four stages. Stage one: Sadness and loss of appetite. Stage two: Sadness, but it involves lots of eating. Stage three: Anger. Stage four and final: Being over him. She was looking forward to the angry part it was going to evolve lost of 'sits'. But at this moment she just wanted to eat. Hey she was almost half way there!
She smiled a bit more feeling a little better, "Thanks lets go."
As they made their way to well in silence afraid that if one was going to talk it would upset her. "Hey ma ma'…" Shippo said.
She looked down at him, yes she did adopt Shippo. They were practically mother and son, both loved a cared for one another. In a way over the year they both adopted one another. "Yeah?"
"I really did mean it. You don't need Inuyasha… I think there is someone else for you. Someone who will really make you happy."
Kagome smiled. Shippo was never fond of Inuyasha. Not at the fact Inuyasha like to pick on him half the time, but because he made her cry…a lot. Come on what kid like someone who makes their mother cry? "I guess you never know… Maybe I'll meet a guy in own time like I should of."
Shippo nodded his head enthusiastically, smiled back, and said, "That's right!"
When they reach the well, Kagome could feel the unsteadiness everyone had. "Don't worry I'll be back." she said. "I'm just need three weeks and I promise I'll be here for your guys wedding." She said looking at Sango and Mikoku. They both smiled back feeling more at ease. Like she was going to ever miss that wedding for anything in the world. Those guys belong together everyone knew and to final seeing them together. At least one good thing came from Naraku's evil deeds was them finding each other. She then looked down to Shippo and set him down, "I already know what you want. I promise to bring back some pocky when I get back." Kagome then turned over to Kohaku, "you too."
Kohaku just kind shy away but she could see the smile on his face. Sango always told her Kohaku was a quiet little kid, but Kagome had vowed she was going to get that kid to talk to her even if he didn't want to.
Kagome then turned to the well and saw Kirara sitting up on the edge waiting for her. She smiled at the small cat demon and patted her on the head, "Take care of Shippo while I'm gone." With that Kagome jumped down into the well and into her own era. So she knew she would being jump back down the well again, she knew she still had her friends love, she knew that there was a life without Inuyasha… but what she didn't know was this would be the last she would ever this era again…
"Hey Kagome?" Someone said intrupting her horrible memory.
She looked up hoping to see Dante but instead it was the bartender. "Hey go home alright. If Dante shows up I'll tell him you waited okay."
Kagome nod and took her things and walked under the late night sky. She looked up at the sky and sighed looking at the skies and stars looked so much clearer back in the past. It wasn't like she never tried to go back, but the well wouldn't let her. God she cried for days after the well rejected her. She couldn't help but thinking Sango and Miroku thinking she wasn't going because she was angry or to sad so something to miss their wedding and Shippo! Her little kit was there waiting for her! How long until they figure out she wasn't able to come back. What about Inuyasha when did he start to realize something was wrong. Did Sango and Miroku hold off their wedding or did they continue it thinking she was just coming up from the well.
Stupid Dante, why did he have to bring up all these trouble memories? Why was she even mad at him? He didn't do anything wrong. Plus it wasn't like she hadn't ever been stood up on a date before. Heck, she more or less relieved when they didn't show up. Why was she getting all teary eye like she was now? She wasn't even dating the half demon. 'Like he would ever be interested in her.' That thought just depressed her more.
XxXxX
Dante cursed as he couldn't find Kagome anywhere. It was impossible. He knew she was going to be angry, everything in his instincts was telling him he screwed up bad, stupid conscience. Why couldn't he be like Vergil and just ignored it. Or did his evil older brother even have one? Anyway, right now he was actually wishing that he never told Kagome to hide her powers better. You know that saying finding a needle in a haystack? This is what like it is like looking for Kagome, but the stack was a mountain. He had been looking for three days.
He muttered a few more curse words jumping to the next building. Three days of looking and nothing. This was impossible! He sat down on the railing of the building trying to think of any place where Kagome could be. He looked up at the sky it was already twilight, he should just give up and hope she would be at the bar on Friday, but he would rather just get this over it. He didn't like the idea of some angry at him with something out of his control. Especially if it has been boiling over for past few days, he had to make this right.
"Okay God," He said looking up at the twilight sky. "I know I'm probably not your favorite person in the whole world and I haven't really been greatest person, but if you help me find Kagome I promise I will try and be a good person." He then heard someone sneezed from down below. He turned around and looked below and to his surprise to actually find his favorite little miko walking down the street. "Thank you lord I'll try my best to be that good person." He jumped on the rail and balanced himself with ease. He ponder for a second on what to do, he could just jump in front of her and probably get slap or he can jump down behind her and still get slap but have a couple of seconds to brace himself. Either way… he was going to get slap. He jump down and decide he would rather have a few seconds to brace himself and choose to be behind.
He landed with not more than a little tap on the ground. "Hey Brat." He said turning towards her. When she turned around he was expecting to see a furious looking girl that would yell and slap the crap out of him, the same spunky girl he had met a month ago that had no problem cussing at him or the girl that had hit him with pool stick a week ago. No, instead he found this girl that looked very much like Kagome but all the spark that was in her was gone. She wore black women suits with two inch high heel, a black brief case, and her hair tied up high into a bun probably just coming out of work. All the warmth in her eyes gone and the smile on her thin pink lips had disappeared into a solemn look. This wasn't the same Kagome.
After a few more seconds of silence until Kagome decided to break it, "What do you want Dante?" She said bleakly.
"Oh crap what happen to you?" Dante said, not finding anything better to say.
Her eyes narrowed at the blunt half demons comment. Which relieved Dante more than anything to see some kind of emotion on her, he didn't like lifeless looking Kagome. "There nothing wrong. What do you want?" He could hear a slight edge to her voice.
"Well, what's up with the night of the living dead look you're trying to pull off?" Dante said.
Kagome's gripped around her briefcase tighten. She knew she looked like hell today, heck she knew been looking like it for the past five days. It's because she just wasn't happy she always look different when she was sad. Sad wasn't what she was meant to be she was usually happy and in a cheerful mood. Which she was sure is what caught Dante off guard. But she didn't need him to tell that her she looked bad, she could see it in the mirror. "Listen if all you're going to do is comment on my looks you should leave."
"Well if I can comment on your looks do you think you can leave your hair down." He said with his figure cuffing his chin and his eyes examining her.
"Baka…GET LOST!" She shouted anger in her voice for all to hear, she took a few steps towards him looking like she wanted to hit him over the head with her briefcase.
Dante smiled finally see that Kagome he knew all too well. He would rather have Angry Kagome than Bleakly Kagome any day. "Oh Kagome there no need to shout I can hear just fine."
Great all she was trying to do was ignored him make him lose interest in talking to her, but no he got her to talk like he did when they first met. "Oh that's good because everyone knows how much I want to talk to you!"
"Well, do you want to talk to me? Cause I'm pretty sure you want to get some things off your chest." He said fully aware he was making himself a target for her rage.
She shook with anger feeling like he was mocking her pain. Yes she wanted to through a tantrum at him, but she wasn't going to. She wasn't a little girl. "Why bother." She said turning around and started to make her way home. "You just want to use me when you're bored and then leave when you have something better."
"Whoa!" He said he jumped forward and land right in front of her and looked down at her annoyed. "What the hell is this about using you? Listen, I know I'm screwed up but I never used you." Where the hell did this outburst come from? He hung out with her because he liked her company and he thought it was the other way around too.
She glared up at him, "Please you left me at the bar alone! I waited you Jackass! Do you have an idea how embarrassing it was waiting there alone!" She poked her finger into her chest, "You could have had the common curiosity to call and tell me! Instead of just leaving me there ALL ALONE!" She yelled one final time leaving her to catch her breath.
Dante just let her get that anger off her chest. He wouldn't be able to talk if she wasn't fully listening and it wasn't good to keep anger bottled up inside. "Listen Kagome, I didn't mean to leave you at the bar alone." Alone, she was all too clear about that in her message. She didn't like being alone. "I got called for a job and I thought I would be back in time to meet you. As you can tell things didn't go according to plan." He said calmly.
"You could of could have called!" She still yelled but not as loud.
"How? You never gave me your number? Plus I was in the middle of Africa with no phone." He said. "Plus it took me three days to find you. Give me break already."
She frowned "Well you- you- You should have- You should have tried and…" She couldn't come up with anything.
"And what tell you if I could have found you? Besides it's not like we even agreed to meet up anyway." 'Well at least not verbally.' He thought. He saw the look he gave him he instantly regretted saying that.
She was incredibly hurt but rang true. They never agreed to meet up at the bar, they just did. "I guess you right." She said defeated with her eyes cast to the ground.
"Gomes," He sighed, "Oh course I'm right."
'Yeah he really knows modesty.' She thought.
"But so are you." She looked up at him he had his hands on his hips with his with his right foot tapping on pavement. She could tell he wasn't use to apologizing. "Listen I'm not saying you were wrong. Hell, a blind monkey can see it was my fault. I just didn't like you said I was using you. That's the only point I want to make." He said running his fingers through his silver hair.
She sighed slightly upset, but a little happy. "So… you still like me?" She said hoping their friendship wasn't damage.
He sighed out of frustration, "What's up with you? Of course I still like you. Do you really think I would look through a city for three days for someone I hate?" She smiled at him. 'Yay happy Kagome' he thought.
"I guess you wouldn't." She looked up at the sky as could still the sky was getting much darker. "Well, I'm starved if you want you can come to my place for dinner."
"Couldn't we just get a slice pizza?" He said actually really wanting pizza.
"No, I think you arties could use a break from all the grease." She said walking in the direction to where she lived.
Dante thought about it for a second and realized this was the first Kagome had ever invited him to her place. He had asked her once if she wanted to come to his place because it was late and he didn't like the idea of her walking alone. She decline, but he followed her anyway out of sight. Sure enough a block later some thugs tried to corner her, but his surprise her actually took down all of them on her own with no problem. He had to admit she was good… and it was hilarious to see five grown men be beat up by a 5'2 foot tall girl. So he never really worried too much of her being out at night unless there was a demon out and he usually took of them.
Kagome thought at first that Dante wasn't going to follow her, but then she heard few footsteps come up from behind her and he was their walking right besides her.
"So…what are we having?" He asked feel a bit awkward about the situation.
"I was thinking some fettucine alfredo with garlic bread." She said holding her briefcase in front of her with both hands.
"Or we could just order pizza." He said still trying to get her to like the idea of having pizza.
"No way, I have that with you every Friday on our dates." She said want to see if she could make him blush.
"Date?" He wrapped his figures around his chin and looked at the sky. "I haven't been thinking of those as dates." Wow, he had been having dates and didn't even know it… man he must be good.
"Yes what do you call met up with someone, going out, and having fun?" She asked as innocently as she could muster up.
"Well, I would usually call that a one nightstand, but I don't get any with you." He said without pause.
She instantly drew her arms to the side and jammed him hard in the stomach with her briefcase. "Perv!"
XxXxX
A few more blocks they made to her place, she first got her mail then they headed up stairs to the top floor. Dante stood there while he waited for Kagome to look for her keys. He had to admit this place was impressive. It was one of the newer buildings in the city and was seven floors tall. He was a bit surprise the see that see lived here. When Trish, Lucia, and Lady were looking for jobs they had looked up this place and it costs a lot to live here, beside that there were no more rooms available.
Kagome finally found her keys and open the door. She figure Dante would follow and he would turned on the lights. She never turned on the lights when she came home at night times, because she likes to look at the view of city without the light glare in the window. She walked on and did bother turning on the lights she first placed her briefcase on the ground, she went over to the window and open it showing off the view to her apartment, then went over to her glassed coffee table and started checking her mail.
Dante did follow and shut door and took a look around. He could see just find at night and if Kagome didn't turned on the light there might have been a reason. Probably because how much this place cost she couldn't afford electricity. Her apartment was really big a bit she own like half the floor, but it was too fancy for his taste. The floor was covered in white carpet, the walls were painted in beige, Then there was the really big window looking out at the city, and the furniture was black like the table, chairs, and fireplace too, even the kitchen was black and with and in the center of the living was a big black L shape couch and she even had a spiral down staircase that lead to another floor she own. God he never thought Kagome was boring. He always pictured her home having more of a home like charm to it. This place looked like something that would come of a magazine.
He then looked over at the window and saw the view of the city. It was nice like the view he saw when was on top of the clock tower in town. He then turned to women he came in with and could help but stare. She was just standing there basking in the light of the moon checking her mail, but moon seem to cause her skin to glow making her look like some kind of celestial being. She then took off the hair pin from her hair and cascade down her back with hand massaging trying to get rid of the creases. Why was it when she was doing the simplest thing like just sitting or standing checking her mail is when he notes how pretty she is?
Kagome sighed at all the bills she had, she was hoping for letter from her family. She missed them so much. She tossed the mail on to the coffee table and looked up wondering why Dante hadn't turn on the light that when she saw him staring at her…again. But this time she wasn't angry or upset or even tick. The look he was giving her was as he her was admiring her for her beauty rather than her body like the first time. There was a small smile on his face barley visible by the dark, and his silver hair gleamed the light of moon, and his light blue eyes… they seem to pierce through the darkness and even into her soul. She found right there hard to breath. They say devils a manipulative, that they will use whatever they have to enslave you. Whether they bribe, lie, or trick you. Even use their appearance to capture you, they will.
"You know I got this place for the view…" she said trying to say anything to get his eyes from enchaining her to him.
He nodded his head not taking his eyes off hers and said, "I'm glad you did."
"You- You can turn on the lights you know…" She said in a quietly with a small crack to her voice.
He slowly blinked causing whatever hold he had on her to loosen, "Alright." He turned around losing full sight of her and flicked the light switch on next to the door.
The instant his eyes left her she was free and see immediately turned around and caught her breath. 'Okay… new rule for being around Dante. Never be alone with him in the dark.' She thought to herself. What just happen? That had never happen before!
"Hey Gomes…you okay?" Dante voice ask sounding a bit concern when he saw the saw the way the back of her shoulders were moving back up and down. Why was she breathing so hard?
She hesitated to turn around and answer him. He wasn't aware of what he just did? She took a deep breath and turned around to look at him. There he was, but his eyes looked more concern then anything. She sighed out of relief, 'Okay new rule goes on top of list!' She thought. She then walked over the spiral staircase "I'm going to change, make yourself at home okay." She then ran up corkscrew stairs.
Dante just stood not really feeling like he should touch anything. Kind of like if he did he would get his hand smack away. He settled for just sitting at the counter and counting the tiles.
When Kagome came down she was wearing baby blue sweat suit with fluffy sock. She was so happy to be out of that suit! She hated having to wear those suits and those high heels kill her. Lucky no one knew she just kicked them off under her deck until she had to get up or something. She was so much happier know!
She found Dante sitting at the counter looking as bored as can be with his eyes closed and his face up at the ceiling and his arms cross over his chest. "Umm…sorry I guess I haven't really been the greatest host…"
He opened his eyes and turned his head towards her. "It's cool." He leaned forward and landing his arms on his crossed arms on counter.
She clapped her hands together and smiled, "I know, I'll give you a quick tour!" She then open held out her arms as if presenting something, "This is the staircase!"
He gave her an odd look wondering if she was kiddy.
She then jogged over were the L shape couch was and held out her arms out wide, "And this is the living room!" She then jogged over behind the counter where the kitchen was and held out her arms again, "And this here is the kitchen!" She said with big smile.
Dante smirked right back, he swear she was one of the most quirkiness people he knew. "What? You're shitty me right? I thought with the fridge here I was in the bathroom, cause God knows how I love a cold beer when I'm on the can."
She her smile didn't leave her face. She then bent down and after a few bangs and clangs of metal she found a big pot. "So where were you last week anyway?" She said filled up the pot with some hot water at the sink.
Dante watch her and said, "Africa, I had to chase some smelling demon monkey." He said casually, it wasn't like Kagome wasn't unfamiliar with what his job. She actually knew quite a bit. "So Gomes… did you get a letter from your family yet?"
"No," she said her smile fading away as she placing the pot over the stove and turned it on, "but hopefully tomorrow."
Dante had known for awhile that Kagome was expecting a letter from her family. She a bit worried that she hadn't received one for awhile. Her Grandfather had been rush to hospital last week, her family told her it was a mild heart attack, but she had wanted to leave work and support her Grandpa back in Japan, but she couldn't leave the company. Kagome told him everything that was happening in her life whether he wanted to listen to it or not.
"So this place must cost you a pretty penny." Dante commented trying to change the subject. Sensing Kagome didn't want to go into the subject.
"Nope didn't cost me anything." She said bring out some dried nods and then going to the fridge. "My boss Sesshomaru pays it for me and the furniture too, in case I have a client come over." She said coming out with some butter, cream, and garlic and setting in it on the counter. "Do you really think this stuff is me?" She said taking a knife form the drawer and pointing to everything visible in the room.
"God I hope not." Well at least that makes a lot more sense about the way this place look. This wasn't Kagome style after all. Sesshomaru… why does that name sound familiar? He knew he heard Kagome's boss name before he just couldn't put a finger on it.
"And no I didn't sleep with him." She said while chopping up some garlic.
He raised an eyebrow at her and said, "Gomes I already know your still a virgin. All demons can tell." He saws her face immediately turn bright red. "Beside that's…Your too Kagome not to be a virgin!' He said seeing her face turned even redder. How he loved see her blush, "Anyway what was with that comment anyway? The idea never crossed my mind that you were sleeping with anyone."
She looked at him for a few seconds then went back to cutting the garlic. "I… The people at my work think I slept with him because I only have a high school degree and he pays for my housing." She stopped for a second and took a deep breath and slowly it out, "I got a job because Sesshomaru felt I was worthy and deserved a good job after everything I've been through. So he first gave me lower level job, but I eventually earn my way to executive position which is why I'm here." She reached up and grabbed a cheese grader from the self above her. "I actually had to sew someone once for sexual harassment once. He offered me three thousand dollars to sleep with him, but thanks to the lawsuit that's how I got my new workout room." She said trying to make the situation funny. Though for herself it was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. "I guess I must be considered a pretty high class whore to get that much."
Dante stayed quiet for once in his life. If this had happen to Trish or Lady or anyone else he would have been laughing his ass off. How on earth can anyone consider Kagome a whore? He didn't even spend every day with her like the people she worked with did and he already knew she wasn't one and why did he want to punch this guy that was going to pay Kagome? He didn't even know the guy and yet he hated him. Hated more then he hated Enzo right now and that was saying something!
"Don't worry about it," Her voice said, he looked up at her "The guy was fired. So I won't ever have to see him again. Beside that I'm sure if I had let Sesshomaru had his way he would he would have torn the guy apart. What is up with demons and having to destroy people when they get them mad anyway?" Really Sesshomaru was like an overprotected father. She kind of realized that the four hundred had change the Dog Demon, he was now a lot more compassionate to humans no and she new why it was because of Rin. The little human girl he took care of.
The word 'demon' caught his attention. "Sesshomaru is a demon?" He asked. Okay this name was ringing an alarm big time in his head.
"Yeah, I never told you?" She said dumping the dry noodles into the boiling water. "Well he a dog demon and…"
"Wait, the same Sesshomaru from the legends?" He then took a good look at her, "The one of the legends with the miko and the jewel?"
'Legend… miko… jewel?' She thought. Wait was her journey for the shikon jewel put into a legend? "I…umm…guess…" She said not too sure what to say.
"Kagome… are you the Strange Miko from the stories?" Dante said putting everything together.
"Strange Miko?" She asked, that how the legend describes her. "Dude I didn't even know that there was a legend about me."
He gave her a bizarre look wondering how she could not know the legend every demon slayer knew and demons too. "Kagome how old are you exactly?"
"I told you, twenty-six." She said.
"But you would have to be four hundred years to be about the age of the miko in the legend or be the dead miko but you don't smell like the dead at all." He asked completely confused.
"Well do you think you can first telling me the story?" She asked wanting to hear what Dante knew about her first. "I would kind of like to hear what this story says."
Dante lean back into his chair search his mind for the story. "Well, which one do you want to hear? There are several versions to the story."
"Several?" She asked not believing what she was hearing.
"Yeah, there one of told by demon slayers, another told by dog demons, one told by fox demons, wolf demons, and another told other told by holy folks." He said naming off all the ones he knew of.
"Whichever you're more comfortable of talking about." she said.
"Okay that would be the demon slayer's one." He said remembering the bedtime story is father once told him. "Well the story starts off with Hanyou Inuyasha and the dead priestess Kikyou when she was alive. She had a jewel that could grant a wish that held hold of it and Hanyou waited it. They eventually fell in love and were tricked into believing that one had betrayed the other. The end result was him killing her and she putting him to sleep on a tree with an arrow in his heart. And the jewel was burned with her body." He said summarizing what he remembered from that part of the story. He never really ever cared too much for this part of the story. "Anyway the story skips a head to fifty years were the Strange Miko makes an appearance. She truly had no idea of where she was or even what she was doing she had wonder over to the tree where Inuyasha was trapped to, not knowing that it was a forbidden place she captured by the villages and was almost trailed as a demon in disguised. But the elder miko of the village realized her for what she was the reincarnation of her dead sister Kikyou." He looked at her and could see in her eyes that she was having flashbacks.
He continued "So they set her free, but later that night a centipede demon came and tried to kill her. The Strange Miko didn't realize that hidden deep inside of her was the very Shikon Jewel from fifty years ago. So following a force that only she could see she ran back to where Inuyasha awake now and trapped waited for her to come. When the Strange Miko arrived the demon grabbed hold of her side by its teeth…." He could see Kagome cringed and held her side, "and toss the miko up in the air with jewel torn from her body. The centipede quickly ate the jewel and started transforming. The Hanyou offered to take care of the demon if she would free him. Desperate for help she pulled the arrow out and he butchered the demon to pieces. She reclaimed the jewel the Hanyou threaten to kill her if she did not give it to her. Before the he could do any harm to her the old Miko place magic rosary on him to bond him to get hurt if she even said the word 'sit'." He could see the smile on her lips, he smiled back. "So next day the miko decide to travel back home because the Hanyou was jerk, but the jewel was swallowed by a crow demon so she had no choice but to shoot and accidently shattering it to pieces and starting the journey of the Jewel shards. There are a bunch of stories of their adventures they had even recruited a fox demon, a monk name Miroku, and a demon slayer name Sango which this story is based on her point of view of everything."
"Is all the stories like that?" She asked.
"Yeah more or less, in the fox demon he express that both him and her had a son and mother connection. The monk is very similar to the demon slayer's but it like to mentions how the Strange Miko wore a short skirt." He heard her murmur some like typical Miroku. "So are you really the Miko from the story?" He finally asked.
"I must be because that what exactly happen to me." She said she saw him look her over. "What are you looking at now?"
"Never been this close to a celebrity." He said surprise at what he learn about his friend, "So can you explain how you're here now and not there?" He was actually very curious about mystery.
"Oh…yeah… well you see I was never originally from the Warring States Era. I was a 16 years old school girl from this era. I had used a well by accident when the centipede demon capture me and tried to take the jewel from me. I guess that's how I got the name Strange Miko because I never exactly acted like the girls in that time or priestess for that matter." She said heating up the skillet.
"You know… I love how you can act so casual after talking about how you're a time traveling legend." He said surprise at what he found out about his new friend. "So any reason why you didn't go back?" He asked.
Her lips formed a thin line, "The well wouldn't let me go back… I tried, but it just wouldn't let me."
"Is that it?" Dante said, "The demon slayer legends say that once your job of the jewel was gone you're returned to the stars from where you came. The monks says that your return to the main land to never be seen again. But the Fox legend is the only one that says that you left unable to return, but he still waits for the mother he had lost."
"Shippo…" She said sadly. "My poor little kit…"
"Well if it makes you feel better … I heard that he still alive. He one of the legends so it would be big news if he died or something."
Kagome sighed, "Thanks, but I already knew he was still alive. Sesshomaru already told me, the problem is that he always moving around that Sesshomaru doesn't know where that fox is. But he checks in with Sesshomaru like every fifty years or so. The problem is that next time I see him I'll probably be in my forty's or something."
"Well… If I ever meet up with him on a mission I'll be sure to send him your way." Dante said knowing it was probably a slim chance.
She gave him a small smile, "Thanks." She can understand why her friends made up different stories about where she came from. They were protecting from any creatures that would want to hurt her in the future.
"So everyone at works thinks you're a slut?" Dante said deciding that was information about her personal life.
She gave him a slight glare and dropped it, "Yeah, I have to go and eat lunch in my office because I can't stand having people acted so fake to me." She toss a half of stick of butter into the skittle and let it melt.
"Dang I was worried about looking like a loser sitting by myself." Dante said.
"Well…I usually have lunch with my secretary Anna. She the only one that thinks I'm not a slut. Mostly because she sees how hard I work. Aside from her I don't think I have any other friends you know other then you." Kagome said tossing in the chop garlic.
"Wait I'm one of only two friends you have? Man you must be desperate."
She looked back at him and smiled, "Hey you're the one who friends with the slut and if I remember correctly your friends with a fat, sweaty, good for noting, jackass that ran your bar tap over ten thousand dollars." She could hear him murmured something along the lines of stupid fat ass. "But I don't really have friends because I don't have anyone to really talk about stuff like this to. You know like demons and what not it's kind of lonely know this stuff and never be able to talk to someone."
Dante shrugged, "I kind of got use it." But he knew what she meant. At least he had Lady, Trish, and Lucia now Kagome doesn't have anyone other than her family and they were on another continent. He knew what it was like to miss family so couldn't help but feel bad for her. Stupid conscience…
XxXxX
So they had dinner together and talk about what was ever on their minds. Dante had to admit Kagome was a really good cook. He was bit surprise to see she makes everything from scrap. Honestly who makes things from scrap anymore when it comes in a can?
After dinner instead of leave through the door alike a normal person Dante decided to jump out of the window. Why, because it would be too easy to use the door. Kagome rolled her eyes when she saw him jumped across to the next the building. She smiled as she closed her window shut. 'Silly half demon…' She thought.
Dante hopped from one building to the next as kid that gets to have ice cream for breakfast. Today turned out a lot better then he thought. He only got hit once and he found out he was friends with a time traveling priestess. When he made it back to 'Devil May Cry' He saw the lights on and knew someone was there. He opened the door to his shop and found he fat lovable partner fiddling to through the songs on his jukebox.
Enzo looked a bit scared when he saw Dante. He was actually waiting to tell the half demon about the new job he found for him, but was kind of afraid since Dante was still piss about his bar tab and didn't look any happier when he got back from Africa. "So Dante how ya been."
Dante shrugged and walked over to his desk good "Good actually." He then sat down and sat his feet on his desk. "So Enzo what's up?" He said soundly in a relatively good mood.
Enzo stayed cleared across the room thinking maybe Dante was trying to trick him. That what that demon wanted was for him to let down his guard and that is when he'll get him. He just knew. "Umm…I found a new job for you."
"Great where?" Dante said looking up at the ceiling looking rather peaceful."
'Oh he must of got laid' Enzo thought not really thinking of anything else that could make a man as happy as Dante seem to be. "England."
Dante peaceful mood seem disappear as he looked at the fat man, "England?"
"Yeah 30K." he said a bit scared, "Demons on some bridge, Lucia said she would go with you."
Dante seem to think about for a second, "Okay, its fine. Now get lost."
Enzo left happy to get out of Dante's weird mood swing.
Dante knew he should call Kagome and tell he wasn't going to be at the bar, but he had a much better idea. He stood up and grabbed his phone and dialed a number. It ringed for a few seconds before someone answered. "Hey, I got a favor to ask you…"
XxXxX
Kagome sat at the bar alone again Friday night. 'He wouldn't dare do this again.' she thought.
A hand rested on her shoulder she looked over expecting to see Dante but turned to see a woman with two color eyes, "Hey I'm Lady. I'm a friend of Dante's…"
Author's Notes:
Yes at last! There's a second chapter to 'Just in Time'! Sorry for long wait. My computer crap out on me. So First thing first a want to give a very special shout out to: Saphira1204, Beautiful Phantom, S. T. Nickolian, and Harmless Vampire. Thank you all very much for offering to be my beta reader. Really it means a lot that you all interested in this story and are willing to help me. But when my computer broke and I realize how long it was going to taking me to write out both this story, 'Ordinary', 'Battle Royale' and my others. I felt bad because I felt I would make you guys wait so long. So over all I decide against a beta reader. I really never anticipated my computer would go out like it did. I'm sorry very sorry for asking you and not being able to deliver.
Okay next the whole legend thing. I kind of figure more or less that there would some kind of legend of Kagome journey. So I saw this as the good way to summarize everything that happens in Inuyasha for some of the reader who isn't familiar with series. I decide that there should be several versions of stories. The Demon Slayer's is Sango, the Holy people is Miroku, the Fox Demons is Shippo, Wolf Demons is Koga, and Dogs is by Sesshormaru and Inuyasha. The reason why I let Dante know Sango version of the story is because he is in fact a Demon Slayer so I thought it was a wonderful idea to add to have Dante know of Kagome's adventure.
Now for you Devil May Cry Fan, I kept the name of 'Devil May Cry' for Dante shop, because I like the meaning behind it from the third game more then I like 'Devil Never Cry' from the first. I'm not too sure if it matters to you, but I like it for its meaning to his brother Vergil. So hope none of you are are bugged buy it.
As you all remember I was trying to work hard and shorten my chapters as you can tell that idea went to hell. I just figure that if I'm going to take so long my stories I should very well make worthwhile and make them long. Aside from that I wanted to tell you what exactly happen to Kagome ten years ago. Someone once told me the end to Inuyasha is that Kagome uses the jewel to turns herself to a half demon then they even showed me a picture of her with three kids that looks like Inuyasha's and hers. I'm sorry, but that's crap! Someone please tell me that is not the real ending, because that's just horrible. In my opinion I don't think Kagome should have to change herself for anyone. Don't get me wrong I read fanfiction were she gets turned to a half demon, but it's usually because it just happens. She doesn't get a saying it. Really that ending bits if you think about. Inuyasha was going to change who he was for Kikyou and throughout the series it tells us Inuyasha changing his mind about being a full demon. I think the idea of Kagome turning to a half demon destroys everything that the series was working on. Really I don't even think Inuyasha should change to being human for Kagome. To me their both fine being who they are. So I wrote this part of the story to what I thought about the idea. Please for the love God tells me thats not the ending.
Oh and more thing please take the time and go to my profile and answer the poll question I have up. I would really help me with picking the next story to update.
Well that's enough info for today, Please leave a review…
Oh have a message for you all…
Go read my new story Battle Royale!
Yes I advertise here too...
