*Just one shout-out before the story! To Emris Nightray: I'm so glad that you love my story that much! It really means a lot. And you're the very first person to review my story, so it's special that it's a good comment. I hope you like the ending. *
*Oh, and there's a new character in another fanfiction! I already know the main character's name, but any ideas for another name for another character? Thank you!*
"Man, you jerk!" Masao exclaimed angrily. "You didn't have to push us! You okay, Yomi?" She nodded timidly and stood up.
"Its right up these vines," InuYasha said already climbing up. Masao and Yomi exchanged looks but climbed up after him.
"Where are we?" Yomi gasped. "Everything's just… gone!" InuYasha nodded. The strangest feeling came over him when he looked away. Towards the village. A scent. He sniffed the air gently.
"You okay?" Masao asked raising an eyebrow. InuYasha tilted his head up to smell better. It was Kagome, wasn't it? A scent he'd forgotten. How could he? It smelled so nice…
"What in the-" Masao started to say. InuYasha dropped on all fours and sniffed the ground. Kagome was here! Oh, yeah. He pushed her. It didn't smell like she was here recently anyway.
But there was another scent with hers. A demon.
"Kagome's in trouble!" Yomi, assuming InuYasha had gone nuts, hid behind Masao.
"Okay, so, you smell like a dog?" Masao said. Somehow, InuYasha didn't care about that comment. After all, going on all fours sniffing the ground seemed to be normal for him.
"I guess," InuYasha said. "But anyway, we need to find Kagome. Fast."
"Okay then, Lassie," Masao joked. "Lead the way!" InuYasha shot him a glare that shut him up and got up.
"In the village," InuYasha explained. "Are your ancestors from five hundred years ago."
"You're kidding!" Masao said in mock excitement. "Because that, like, totally possible!"
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
WHAM!
Masao hit the ground, unconscious. Yomi let out a small scream but curiously observed the giant boomerang covering him.
"That oughta teach tha- oops," Sango said running up. Yomi blinked, cleaned her glasses on her shirt, and looked again.
"What's this?" Yomi asked inching closer to InuYasha.
"This," he explained. "Is your ancestor, Sango." Masao moaned on the ground. InuYasha sighed and carried Masao to the hut, Yomi staring at Sango.
"Oh, you're back," Kagome sighed. She noticed InuYasha placing Masao on the floor. Then she leaned a little and saw Yomi. "Who're these guys?"
"Descendants of Miroku and Sango," InuYasha said. Kagome shifted her weight nervously.
"They really shouldn't be here," she said.
"They can help."
"With what?!"
InuYasha opened his mouth to answer, but he couldn't. Bringing the two to this time was just because he had a feeling. But then he remembered. The demon. Kagome!
"InuYasha," Sango said stepping over Masao as if he was a dead animal. "You should send these two ba…"
"Kagome!" InuYasha ordered. "Tell me to sit!" Sit? He knew she thought he'd lost his mind.
"Uh," Kagome stuttered. "S-sit?" Nothing. No face-plant. No usual yelp. Just silence. A fake. InuYasha raised his hand to strike, but got that feeling again. Not now! Not more voices!
Oh, the for the love of… Oh, Kagome. I look like some older version of that kid again. Kagome, why are you sad?
"Stupid!" she yells. "You broke the present Hojo got me for my birthday!" I look down. There's something broken at her feet. Is that what he got her?
"I was just fighting a demon!" I say against my will. "It was an accident!" Guess he bumped into her or something.
"I wish you'd just disappear!" For some reason, her words echo in my head.
Ka-huh? I'm back in modern day? My heads spinning… Kasumi? Stop smiling like that…
InuYasha's eyes snap open to find Yomi staring over him.
"The demon ran away," she explained. Masao, now looking okay, popped into view.
"Yeah!" he said excitedly. "Grandma's awesome!"
"Hiraikotsu."
"Ow!" Masao pushed the Hiraikotsu off his head. "What did I do?!"
"Don't call me 'Grandma,'" Sango ordered.
"Anyway…" Masao continued. "Turns out Yomi and I are related somewhere along the family tree!" Yomi smiled at Masao and helped InuYasha sit up.
"Miroku!" InuYasha heard an annoying voice say. "Sango almost killed me so I ran! It didn't work! Please forgive me!" Everyone rushed outside to see Miroku and Hachi, a raccoon dog or something. Hachi ran away in a panic and Miroku sighed.
"Where's Kagome?!" InuYasha grabbed Miroku by his robes.
"She asked me to cover for her," he answered, not very threatened. "I don't know where she is."
"Oh, great," InuYasha sighed. "Sango, explain everything to Miroku. Masao, Yomi, let's go!"
"See ya, Gramps!" Masao called running after InuYasha. Yomi shrugged and ran after the two.
"Koga…" InuYasha murmured. "She's with him."
"Koga?" Yomi repeated."Who- AH!" She tripped in her flats and landed on the dirt. She moaned when she saw her now dirty white shirt and black skirt. Yomi brushed off her tights and stood up. "Sorry."
"Get on InuYasha's back," Masao suggested. ]
"What? No!" InuYasha tried to protest, but Yomi was already on his back. Knowing there was no point in protesting anymore, he took off with Masao close behind. It didn't take long to reach the base of a mountain. Kagome was talking with Koga.
"Huh?" Koga said noticing the trio. "Mutt? Haven't seen you in two or three years." InuYasha rolled his eyes.
"Um…" Kagome said. "What…?" InuYasha dropped Yomi. He had a sudden urge to beat up the wolf demon. He didn't want Koga putting a hand on Kagome.
"DIE!"
"NO, YOU DIE!"
"SIT!"
InuYasha crashed to the ground with a yelp. Yomi and Masao rushed over. The last thing InuYasha saw was Masao giving Kagome a look.
Now what?! There's nothing here! It's all white. Who's that? Mother?
"My son," she says.
"You've got the wrong guy. I've got my own mom. Are you the one sending me these visions?" She nods. "But why that dog eared guy? He's got nothing to do with me!"
"You've always been a bit stubborn," she sighs. "Don't you realize it? All these people aren't mistaking you for this boy. You are this boy."
"What? No I-"
"Kagome's wish was out of anger. Mikos must be careful with their powers, but she wasn't. Her wish sent you to a new life." No! Not true! I'm not him. I'm just me! Mother?
"Don't be scared." Who're you? You're not Mother. I'm not scared! You sound kind of like me… Only you sound older.
"Just go to sleep. It'll be okay." No… I don't wanna… I have to save Kagome. Who are you?
"I'm your spirit." Spirit? "Come find me."
After that, everything went black. When InuYasha came to, he was on Koga's back. He quickly kicked Koga in the head and jumped off.
"Ugh, now I smell like wolf," InuYasha complained.
"Don't think I wanted to do it!" Koga said. "Kagome told me to!"
"Look, this isn't right," InuYasha said looking at the group. (Kagome, Masao, Yomi) "You have the wrong guy!"
"Maybe they don't," Yomi said. "Anything's possible!"
I'd listen to her.
Shut up, Spirit.
