Kagome's Tale or Kagome's Tail?!

Chapter 2: Back Home to the Future

Last time:

"Monk, tell Shippo when he wakes up that Inuyasha and I went to the future and will be back in three days time," said Kagome, hurt still dominating. Miroku nodded and watched as they went to the hut.

This time:

Kagome slid the door to the hut open and went inside with Inuyasha so close behind her that she could feel his warm breath against her neck. "Inuyasha, how much did you and the others see? All of you weren't supposed to see that," said Kagome, rather accusingly. Inuyasha flattened his puppy dog ears and hung his head in guilt as he said," We saw all of it but the others didn't hear what I heard." Kagome's eyes widened to the size of saucers. 'God no! Inuyasha wasn't supposed to hear that,' thought Kagome as her ears went flat and she hung her head in guilt and shame. She knew that what she had said to Koga would no doubt hurt her mate so deeply but it had to be said. Inuyasha could suddenly smell salt from where Kagome was and knew instantly that she was spilling tears for him. Inuyasha knew nothing of the reason of her tears but decided it best to wait till later to find out.

Kagome lifted her backpack and started heading to where her little kitsune was sleeping soundly. She bent down and kissed him lightly on the head and watched him stir slightly. Inuyasha couldn't help but let a few tears fall at how great of a mother Kagome was to Shippo and how great she would be to their own pups. Kagome could smell the salt from Inuyasha's tears and said," Inuyasha, I think it's time to depart from this era." Inuyasha nodded and led the way out of the hut.

Sango was still clutching Miroku like a scared little girl would to her father during a strong storm as they watched the two canine demons head towards the well when they noticed that Kagome stopped. They saw that Inuyasha stopped and turned to face Kagome. Miroku began to see or rather feel what had caused Kagome to stop and followed her eyes to the God Tree's lowest branch to find a man staring down at her. Sango followed her eyes, noticed the man, and gasped.

The man shifted his stare towards Sango and smiled lovingly at her, causing her to blush. Miroku began to growl a little because of the way the stranger was treating HIS Sango. Kagome, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sango saw the man come and bow before Kagome like a lesser would a noble and Kagome just stared. Sango noticed how beautiful the man was as he stood and dusted off his white robe that was torn in many places.

The man had soul-searching amethyst eyes and shining ebony hair that was as long as Koga's and worn like it as well. He had slightly longer fangs and claws than Kagome, pointed ears, and a long, shining, and sleek ebony tail that gleamed when the morning star hit it just right. It was obvious that he was a follower of Kagome's pack due to the marks on his chest and wrists. He had to be at least 6' 6" and Sango marveled at his well-defined muscles. She had never seen a demon look and speak so beautiful.

Kagome straightened up proudly and said," Stranger, what is your name and what business have you here?" The man looked at Kagome with respect and admiration as he said," My fair lady, the name my parents have gifted me with is Bakutso. My business here is to be dealt with you and your mate, if you have one." Inuyasha walked to Kagome's left side and snaked his right arm around her tiny waist protectively while wishing that this monk would just leave. Kagome felt Inuyasha's strong arm around her waist and she rested her left hand on his right while letting her tail wrap itself around Inuyasha's waist and said," Explain your business."

Bakutso wasn't paying attention to Kagome anymore. He was now more interested in Sango who was now trying to calm the raging Miroku. "Miroku, please calm down. Why are you so jealous?" asked Sango, with Miroku's face cupped in her pale hands. 'Her voice is that of an angel,' thought the wolf-demon monk. Miroku felt hot tears stream down his cheeks as he got up and walked back towards the hut, leaving the only woman he truly loved sitting in the dust, sobbing. Kagome was getting frustrated and her demon blood was not at all patient with this demon monk. "I order you to state your business!" demanded Kagome, red seeping into the oceanic blues orbs that were her eyes. Bakutso didn't bother to look back at her as he said," My business is to tell you instructions on what to do when you return from the future, milady. I wasn't supposed to give you anymore information." Kagome looked at him expectantly before he continued," Head to the Northern Lands and a child by the name of Kina will join you at the borders. She is Lord Keago's favorite traveling and she is an excellent warrior. Oh and Lady Kagome, tell Kina that the western sun has risen. She'll know what you mean." With that said, he smiled and left in a cloud of fog.

Inuyasha couldn't believe his ears when he heard old Keago's name mentioned. He was grinning from ear to ear at knowing that he was going to see the old wolf demon. Keago had always been sympathetic towards Inuyasha because he wanted a human mate and wanted a hanyou pup to rule the Northern Lands and no one could stop the Great Lord Keago. Kagome on the other hand had no knowledge of him except his title. She started back toward the well, pondering what the young monk had said. What did he mean that the western sun has risen? It didn't add up to her and she was good at breaking codes. Inuyasha, who was beside her, sensed that his Kagome was troubled about the young monk's words. "Kagome, don't worry about what that bastard said. Let's just go to your era," smiled Inuyasha, hoping to see her smile. His mate returned the smile and they reached the well.

The two lovers waved at their two friends, knowing that what was coming would truly test their loyalty. They joined hands, jumped in the well, and were soon engulfed by the watery blue of time. Kagome clutched Inuyasha with fear aching her heart at how her family would react and all Inuyasha could do was hold her close to his heart. Finally, they both reached Kagome's time and both of their noses picked up the aroma of fresh bread. Both mouths started to water and they jumped out and saw Souta out in the yard reading. Kagome and Inuyasha crept towards the house as quickly and quietly but leave it to Inuyasha to step on something sharp. "Damn it! I hate your fuckin' world!" exclaimed Inuyasha, and then as if that weren't bad enough, Souta was heading towards them.

Kagome panicked at seeing Souta walking towards them calmly acting as if he hadn't seen the changes. Souta was about fifteen years old and quite popular around the ladies now. "Hey Inuyasha, long time no see," said Souta warmly, then he looked at Kagome," Hello miss. I'm Souta Higurashi and you are?" Kagome sighed and said," Inuyasha, SIT!!!" Inuyasha was now in a two foot crater and slewing curse words. "Damn it, Kagome! Why the HELL did you do that?" screeched Inuyasha. Kagome rolled her eyes and jabbed her thumb towards the now shocked Souta, who was on his knees. Inuyasha "hmphed" and said," You still had no reason to sit me." "I have reasons," said Kagome stubbornly with the 's' word nipping at her throat. "Name the reasons," said Inuyasha as he watched Souta run to the house.

Kagome's tail started to caress Inuyasha's neck and he knew that he was in trouble. "Inuyasha," Kagome sang so sweetly that it scared Inuyasha. "Yes," said Inuyasha, knowing that he was going to meet his best friend, dirt, once again. "Sit, Sit, Sit, Sit, Sit, and SIT!!!" sang Kagome as she stormed toward the house, leaving her mate in a twelve foot crater.

"Mom, I'm home!" yelled Kagome as she walked in the door. "Hi sweetheart! I thought I heard you yelling at Inuyasha. By the way, where is he?" yelled Kagome's mother, Rei. Kagome smirked and said," He got a little preoccupied." She paused and then said," Mom do you think you could come out here, please." Rei emerged and looked at Kagome with guilt and love mixed together. Kagome's mother ran to Kagome and embraced her tightly and started to cry. "Mom, what's wrong? Why did you look at me with guilt? Please, explain," begged Kagome, biting back the tears that were stinging her eyes. Rei pulled back for enough to look into her daughter's deep oceanic blue and said," I'm so sorry. Go fetch Inuyasha, Souta, and Grandpa and I will explain everything.

Inuyasha: Damn it, Vegetasgirl91! Stop doing cliffhanger!

Vegetasgirl91: Well maybe you would like to write the story or go to school or study for tests. Hmm?

Kagome: You weren't this bad when I left.

(Inuyasha blushes and jumps into the nearest tree's branches)

Miroku (gazing down my shirt): Pay no mind to Inuyasha. He doesn't understand the importance of wits.

Sesshomaru (wrapping his tail around my waist): The hentai monk is right. Just take your time, considering that I'm not in it. (start to growl at Miroku)

Vegetasgirl91: Thanx everyone for your support. Anyway I am currently working on chapter 3 so keep looking. R&R if you would be so kind.
