Kagome woke up and after getting ready went downstairs. Tohru had just finished breakfast as Kagome walked into the kitchen.
"Kagome! Are you okay?" Kagome smiled.
"I'm fine Tohru. I just needed to sleep it off." Diamond sat at Tohru's feet expectantly, waiting for a treat. Tohru smiled and placed a fish next to her and Diamond purred while eating. Kagome put breakfast out while Tohru got everyone up. She could sense Kyo's aggravation and sighed. It wasn't going to be a good day. Kagome sat in her spot and Diamond curled up on her lap. Soon everyone was down and the boys looked very tired. "You guys didn't sleep well?" Kyo glared.
"I was sitting up all night wondering how to keep that stupid thing you did yesterday from working." Kagome looked at him and took a bite of some rice.
"The subjugation seal can't be broken or avoided. The last person I knew that had subjugation tried so hard, but eventually would fall to the ground."
"You sound nice." Kagome sent a quick glare.
"I'll say it. And you'll regret it." Kyo didn't think it though and challenged her.
"Yeah, I doubt it." Kagome sighed.
"Bad-" Kyo interrupted her.
"I was kidding!" Kagome stopped and put the rest of her rice into her mouth. Breakfast was soon over and they headed to school.
"Miss. Higurashi if I may ask, who is Sesshomaru." Kagome looked at the ground. She wasn't ready to open up yet. She was about to voice that when Yuki seemed to get the point. "You don't have to tell if you aren't ready." Kagome smiled. She was happy he wasn't going to pry, Kyo wasn't ready to drop it thought.
"I don't care if she's ready or not. I wanna know why some stupid fang is so important that she had to do that stupid thing to my beads." Kagome stayed quiet. "Hey Kagome." Kagome bit her lip. Kyo stepped in front of her, she stopped before colliding with his chest. "Tell me!" She felt tears run down her face. Kyo must've seen it. "N-Nevermind Kagome." He turned and continued to the school. Tohru came next to her.
"You okay Kagome?" Kagome turned to her a little.
"I'm not ready to talk about my past, or my past love." Tohru hugged Kagome while the other two waited ahead a bit.
"Don't worry Kagome. I'll be here for you like you were there for me." Kagome hugged her back. They continued to school and for whatever reason weren't late. Kagome sat at her desk next to Tohru and a bunch of guys came over.
"Hey Kagome. How are you today?"
"You look a little upset, what's wrong?"
"I bet I could make you feel better, why don't you eat lunch with me?" Kagome just ignored them. She didn't want to talk to anyone. Thanks to Kyo, Sesshomaru was the only thing she could think of. "Kagome?" She looked up and glared, a very cold glare that made her sapphire eyes turn an icy blue. They got the hint and walked away. Tohru looked at Kagome with worry filled eyes for another time that morning.
"Kagome." She turned towards Uo and Hana. "You okay?" Kagome nodded.
"Yeah, Kyo just tried to pry into something."
"Like what?" Kagome didn't respond, but Tohru filled them in. Kagome allowed her mind to wander back to the past. Sesshomaru came back to mind.
Kagome didn't know why she only ever thought of Sesshomaru and not her other friends, or her adopted kids, but he was always there. His long silver hair, his golden eyes, his purple face markings. His smile. The look in his eye when he saw her. It all took her breath away even now.
Study hall came up and Tohru had asked Kagome and Kyo to join them in Rich Man Poor Man. It was exactly what Kagome needed. There was a bet put on the first game and Kyo ended up having to clean the entire classroom after school. Kagome and Tohru waited and then Yuki came in and with one kick sent Kyo to the ground.
"He really tried to lay me out." Kagome looked at the orange cat as he sat and looked to be in thought.
After a while Kagome and Tohru headed to work and after they finished walked home. Tohru seemed to be in deep thought when Kagome sensed something. Tohru seemed to notice a presence as well and Kagome could see the fear she held. Kagome sensed whatever it was get closer and as Tohru turned and hit him with her bag, Kagome turned and kicked whatever it was. Of course, Kagome knew who it was all along, but she wanted to see what happened. What she kicked and Tohru hit, was none other than Kyo. And he was unhappy.
They all went home and after telling the other residents what happened, Shigure began to laugh and pick on Kyo, Yuki sighed, and Kyo continued to be pissed. Shigure looked at Kagome after a bit.
"Kagome, I'm sorry to pry, but I think it's only fair that since you know our big secret, I think it's only fair if you share yours." Diamond came down and sat next to Kagome. "You can start with Diamond's breed." Kagome bit her lip. It was only fair, but she still wasn't ready. She looked at everyone as they stared at her expectantly. She sighed and looked at Diamond.
"Go show them Diamond." Diamond looked at her for a minute before walking out of the house into the yard and turned to all of them. In a few seconds she was engulfed in flames and a giant two tailed cat with long sharp fangs and fire around her feet and tips of her tail stood there. It reminded Kagome of Kilala so much that she began to cry a little.
"What the hell is that!" Kagome glared to Kyo quickly.
"SHE is a demon!" They all looked at her in shocked except for Shigure, who just nodded.
"I had the feeling. Now, please, continue." Kagome sighed and Diamond changed back and got into Kagome's lap. Kagome began the story of her trips to the past, her crush on Inuyasha, the subjugation beads, the jewel shards, her friends, her fights with demons, Kikyo, Naraku, and Sesshomaru. Everyone listened carefully and every word Kagome said seemed to stab into her heart and reopen every wound that had been closed off. When she finished she was holding Sesshomaru's fang and stroking Diamond's fur.
"So that explains why you care for that fang so much Miss. Higurashi, it's because that is the last thing you have from your lover." Yuki seemed to get it, Tohru tried to, Shigure understood, Kyo was a different story.
"That's so stupid. I don't believe it." Kagome glared.
"How can you not? You saw what Diamond is, you can see the fang, you've witnessed my miko powers!" He just blew it off. He was laying on the porch and Kagome could feel her hair move in anger. She inhaled deeply but silently. "BAD KITTY!" And Kyo went flying 10 feet and slamming into the ground. Kagome decided to go to bed early again. She didn't need to deal with two Inuyasha's. Even if one was a dog and the current is a cat.
Kagome laid on her bed and looking through pictures on her camera. She had taken it back with her a week or so after she started seeing Sesshomaru. She had taken pictures of everyone. She stopped on a picture of Sesshomaru. He was standing next to the well, arms crossed letting off his usual regal aura.
Kagome decided that she would print the pictures and put them around her room. That way if any of those stupid Sohmas, okay, she couldn't say that if she only had a problem with Kyo, but that way they knew she wasn't lying.
Diamond came up onto the bed and looked at her mistress. Kagome looked at her then found a picture of Kilala and showed it to the cat demon. Diamond seemed interested and curled her tails around her. Kagome pet her head and then turned off the camera and put it back into her nightstand.
The next morning was Saturday and Kagome headed down the stairs to join everyone. They were sitting around the table and looked up at her as she entered the living room. Tohru looked at her slightly worried.
"Kagome? Are you okay?" Kagome smiled warmly.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry." She sat in her place at the table and they just kinda talked about nothing really when they heard the door open. Kagome sensed a boar like aura, so she figured that it must've been one of the Sohma's come by to visit. Tohru went to check it out and Kagome saw her and heard her say her name was Kagura. Kagome knew it wasn't the demon she had met in the past, but it still gave her slight chills.
Kagura ran towards Kyo and seemed to be so happy. Then she just snapped and beat the crap out of him. Tohru wanted to stop it, Kagome just sweat dropped. She seemed slightly bipolar. After a few minutes Kagura seemed to snap out of it and freaked out again, only asking Kyo who beat him up. Kagome sighed. This was gonna be a long day.
Sorry for the wait! I'm at my cousin's house and never really thought about writing. But here you go! Kagura Sohma has entered!
