InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Higurashi, or maybe more ❯ Small, Geen, & Grumpy ( Chapter 3 )

Jaken stood outside of a house in the middle of the forest, Rin dancing around him merrily. He shot a disgusted look her way & then before he could call out the little ningen beat him to it.

"Kagome-nee!" she called & soon she was answered.

"Rin-chan!" That onna's voice sounded weak.....he almost seemed concerned. Almost. The truth was the little toad had grown fond of the witty onna.
He called out, annoyance in every word, "Baka no Onna! My Lord wishes you to return! He could smell your disgusting blood & sent me to retrieve you!"

He heard her mumble something to the other ningens he could smell in the house.


Kagome smiled, a genuine smile that shocked the Sohma's & one Tohru Honda. Kagome motioned for Shigure to help her up, & when he obliged they moved to the front door & walked out.
The sight that met them was not what they had expected. A small child dancing around & a small....toad?! Kagome continued oblivious to the gawking Sohma's behind her, all but Tori & Gure, that is. When the two saw Kagome they had very different reactions. Rin ran to Kagome & glomped her as best she could, Kagome trying not to wince. Jaken stared & then snorted, his concern hidden from all but Kagome, & said, "Well, leave it to you to get so badly injured. Sessho-maru-sama will not be pleased......."
Her face darkened & she said slowly, "Fluffy-sama will not like any of what has happened today...he will be most displeased with his half-brother, I can assure you of that." Jaken stared for a moment. What could make his lord even more displeased with that baka no hanyou of a half-brother? Then it clicked & his eyes widened the slightest bit, & Kagome nodded almost imperceptibly. It was that hanyou that attacked the onna. Anger surged through the little yokai, his eyes burning ever so slightly.

“Yes, he will be most displeased," he agreed. Kagome smirked.

"He'll be even more pissed than that whole thing over Tetsussaiga, which is definitely saying something." Kagome said, controlled anger in every word. Shigure frowned at that. The Kagome he knew was nice, cheerful, & hated violence...except for video games...she got very scary when she was killing other opponents, & that was when she was 5! This new Kagome was mature & more calculating. His thoughts were interrupted when Kagome looked around, seemingly puzzled.

"What're you looking for Gome?" He asked, concern & worry laced in with his normal cheeriness.

“Did you bring Ah-Un with you?" Jaken mock-glared at her, which was pretty funny seeing as he was small, green, & grumpy.

“Of course you baka! He's in those trees over there, resting a bit. We did come straight here. My Lord wasn't able to come, he was at a meeting with the Taiyokai of the South, you know how the wars been going, & he couldn't leave. You could see the worry on his face, & you know that's a bad sign for him; so he sent us to fetch you." Jaken seemed even more tired then usual, & Kagome realized with a start that the poor old toad must have been up for a long time worrying about the Taiyokai of the South & Fluffy-sama's infamous temper concerning the Cat yokai who ruled there.
She bowed her head in thanks, surprising Jaken. "I am sorry to add more to his worries....& Jaken-san" he snorted at that," I do realize what that treaty means to the Western Lands, so I will come quietly. As long as my cousin's may come as well," she gestured to the Sohma's surrounding them, all still in some form of shock. Kagome snorted, not hiding her amusement at all.
Jaken stared at them all, seeming to judge their worth. He finally 'hmphed' & nodded, accepting her terms.

“They may come, but Ah-Un can only carry so many..." he trailed off seeing her mischievous glance at the tall black haired man supporting her. “What are you thinking, onna? I know that look, I've seen it one too many times right before you did something foolish-" Just as he said that Kagome leapt, with surprising speed, away from Shigure & started chanting something quietly. Jaken's eyes widened when he realized what she was doing. “You baka! That is a dangerous spell for you in that condition! You could-" a small FSSSSHHHHHH.... was heard & a large cloud-like thing appeared under Kagome & lifted a foot from the ground.
The Sohma's stared at the light purple cloud & back at the now sitting Kagome with wide eyes. Kagome just smirked. "Well, get on you slow pokes!" she teased. The first to move was, surprisingly, Kyo. He stepped onto the cloud, testing his weight on it before walking over & sitting next to Kagome, smiling sneakily. He grinned at Kagome, & she grinned back, both starting to scare the other people present. Then they glanced back at Yuki, Tohru, Aya, & Tori; Gure was already sitting on the other side of Kagome. As they each got on slowly, Tori last, Ah-Un came over & the two headed dragon nearly scared the pants off of them, except Tori who looked at the Dragon strangely.

Then as the cloud-thingy began to rise Kagome started in a nasally voice, "All passengers on this flight to Sengoku Jidai, please buckle you seat-belts & make sure your trays are in the upright position." They all stared at the strange girl oddly. "What?!" she asked defensively, Rin laughing at her antics. She had done the same thing when Rin rode on her cloud-thingy (that's what it was actually called, or named by Kagome...her 'cloud-thingy'), though she had no idea what it meant, she got the gist of it.
As they started heading towards the well, Kagome started humming the song 'Breaking The Habit' by Linkin Park. She went through at least fifteen other songs by the time they reached the well, & even got Gure to join in on the last five. The pain in her shoulder & leg were still a dull ache, so when they landed, she had no problems getting up, until the cloud-thingy disappeared & she felt the loss of energy. She wobbled a bit & leaned against the closest person, which happened to be Kyo. He seemed annoyed but held back any comments at the pained look on her face.

“Oi…now I realize why I wasn't in so much pain" her voice was a little rougher & her breathing a little abnormal, but she waved away Tori when he shot her a concerned look. "It was my Miko powers dulling it & now I've used up a lot of that energy...."
