Kagome's Tale or Kagome's Tail?!
Chapter 4: Returning to the Feudal Era
Last Time: Her head was throbbing and her ears were ringing endlessly. Inuyasha cringed at the harshness in Kagome's tone and left her. She flopped back down and slept the rest of their time in that era.
This Time:
Two days later….
Kagome woke up in the early afternoon and noticed Inuyasha playing with Buyo in the hallway. Kagome let out a little giggle and she caught Inuyasha's attention. "Kagome! You're finally up! I was beginning to worry about you," said Inuyasha as he embraced her tightly. Kagome returned Inuyasha's embrace, melting into his warm touch. She pulled away and smiled one of her rare sad smiles as she looked into her mate's molten gaze that she seemed to always lose herself in. "Earth to Kagome! Hello?" said Inuyasha, waving a hand in front of Kagome's face. "Huh?" said Kagome as she snapped back into the reality. "We need to go back to the Feudal Era before the others start to worry," replied the inu-hanyou as he stuffed his hands into the sleeves of his fire rat haori. Kagome nodded her head as she started to pack her things.
Once Kagome had finished with packing, she pulled out the red kimono that her father had given her and fingered it lightly, admiring the beautiful red silk. She went into the bathroom and emerged an hour later, sporting the red kimono, red stiletto heels, diamond wolf pendent, and other accessories. "Let's go," said Kagome anxiously as she secured her in her obi. Inuyasha nodded as he headed for the door but Kagome's light footsteps could not be heard following. "Koi?" said Kagome's angelic voice. "Nan desu ka?" asked Inuyasha rather harshly. "Gomen for the other day," said Kagome as she heaved the pack over her shoulder. "Doshite?" asked Inuyasha again but in a softer tone. "Because I only yelled at you because I was mad at myself," she explained. "Don't worry about it," he said as they reached the well.
The two of them jumped down the well, hand in hand, and were engulfed by the watery blue of time. They soon landed in the feudal era and the familiar smell of nature filled their nostrils. Both smiled and leaped out of the well, only to be knocked down by a happy kitsune child. "Mama! Papa! You're back! And you look pretty Mama!" exclaimed Shippo as he squeezed the living daylights out of Kagome. "Domo arigatou gozuimasu, Shippo!" said Kagome as she pried the young kitsune off. Sango and Miroku soon appeared in the clearing and greeted their two hanyou friends.
After greetings, they headed back to camp but Kagome stayed behind. She sat on the lip of the well as she watched the moonlight peeking through the thick forest. 'Is this who I really truly am? Is this what I am destined to do?' pondered Kagome as she got up and walked back to camp. She reached camp and noticed that everyone but Inuyasha was asleep. Kagome just smiled a bright smile that melted Inuyasha's heart and got ready for bed. She then jumped in the tree with Inuyasha and fell asleep.
Dawn…..
Both Inuyasha and Kagome woke everyone up and started packing up the camp well everyone's eyes adjusted to the light. "Kagome, Inuyasha? Why did you have to wake us up?" asked Sango, rubbing her eyes. "Because we're heading north," explained Kagome shortly. Miroku and Shippo didn't argue with Inuyasha when he woke them up because they didn't have a death wish at the moment. "Let's head to the Northern Lands!" exclaimed Kagome cheerfully as she and the others embarked on a new quest.
Inuyasha: You're getting lazy now, aren't ya?
Vegetasgirl91: Damare Inuyasha! I was working on this from half past midnight to about 2:45 in the morning so spare me the insults.
Kagome: Give her a break Inuyasha. I mean she is only human.
Vegetasgirl91: Thanx Kagome. Sorry that this chapter is so short but I have 19 more chapters to go. Sorry that there is no surprise like I promised. Review please! Signed Vegetasgirl91.
