InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Higurashi, or maybe more ❯ Confusion All Around ( Chapter 2 )

_______________
Last time:

“So Gome, what have you been doing lately? The last letter we got from you was about 3 months ago, you said you were going on a trip or something of the like. You never said where, though." Hitori said, conversationally.

“If I told you that...I'd have ta kill ya" she said, smirking through the pain. "Well...seriously, I've been all over Japan, searching for something...something I broke."
This time:

“And what might that have been? You always were a bit clumsy." Gure said, making her laugh.

“The.....Shikon no Tama, Jewel of Four Souls. Doubt you know the legend though...."

“Why don't you tell us then? & why it's so important to you."

“He'd kill me if he knew I told so many people. All I can say is that it.....is very powerful &....many people are after it." Hatori frowned suddenly.

“Where's your anklet? You know, the special one?" Kagome stared down at her ankle.

“Shimatta! The arrows energy must have shattered it!" Her eyes darkened to navy. "When I get my hands on that....that woman, she'll wish she was never resurrected!" She said, changing personalities. Everyone looked confused at what she said.

“Well, I see your other personality is still intact-" Yuki, Kyo, & Tohru all stared at Hatori strangely."-but what was that about...'resurrected'?" Kagome motioned him closer & whispered in his ear for about 10 minutes, Hatori's face getting paler & paler. When she was done, he sat there, thinking.

“I'm so sorry Gome...I didn't realize what you'd been through...500 years?" At her nod he paled even more, if possible. Nobody seemed to notice Shigure's ears twitch & his face turn as pale as Hatori's, except for Kagome (he is a dog after all).

“What was that about?" Kyo said, asking what everyone else was thinking.

“Who're they? Oh...y'know what? Cat & rat rhyme!" As Kagome started giggling, everyone except Tori, Gure, & Aya stared at her oddly.

“What?! Sessho-maru-sama taught me how to read auras & stuff!" she said defensively. Aya's eyebrows rose.

“And who might this...Sessho-maru be? Hm?"

“You should respect him a lot more Aya-chan! He is royalty! & my teacher!" Kagome said, full of pride for the Taiyokai of the western lands. "You'd like him you baka inu. Course...he does have this problem with humans..." Again, everyone stared, confused (except Tori & Gure).

“Isn't this Sessho-maru-sama human?" (Aya-chan).
”Shimatta…Shouldn'ta said that....grrrr...no. He's...The-Taiyokai-of-the-western-lands-from-500-years-in-the-past!" She said as fast as she could.

Everyone stared then- Shigure burst out laughing.

“What'd you say Gome?" Asked Aya, even he didn't catch that. Shigure laughed harder, Kagome joining him, & Hatori chuckling slightly.

“No, I don't think I will..." she mused, smirking. Noticing the three other people in the room, Kagome bowed her head.

“I'm sorry, I was so busy confusing you, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Higurashi Kagome, or Sohma Kagome." she added with a slight grin.

Yuki was the first to recover from his shock, & blushed a little. He bowed & introduced himself and the other two. "I am sorry Ms. Higurashi-"

“Please, just Kagome, or Gome" she smiled lightly.

“I am Sohma Yuki, this is Sohma Kyo, & Honda Tohru." When she looked at Tohru, there was recognition in her eyes.

“You wouldn't happen to be friends with Hanajima...would you?" Tohru nodded, a confused grin on her face.

“Do you remember, when she brought you to a shrine about...hm, by car it'd be...1 1/2 hours away? She brought you to meet her cousins? It was about 5 months ago."

She thought for a moment & brightened a little. "Yes! I remember. There was that nice old man, he tried to purify Hana-" everyone sweat dropped & Kagome started laughing"- & a...Ah! That was you! You were wearing the robes of a Miko & chasing the old man around with a broom!" The sweat drops grew at that.
Jii-chan shoulda known Hana-chan was coming! Plus, I was getting revenge for him always telling my friends I was sick, & I'm usually standing right behind him for Kami's sake!" She sighed heavily. "You were the one who saved him & calmed me. Even Fluffy-sama has trouble calming me down! & it's been worse lately what with Kikyo-Damn!" She realized too late she had said too much.

“And Kikyo would be?" prompted Aya, seeing his chance to get information.

She started growling. "She's a Miko as well, very powerful. Wants the Shikon no Tama, &…well, she's been working with Naraku &..." She couldn't continue, she would explode with rage!

“&…?”Aya pushed (Gure was slowly backing away unnoticed).

“SHE is the one whose arrow was stickin' outta my friggin' leg! The one who convinced Inuyasha to kill me, & return her soul! The one who STOLE part of the jewel from me! Who STOLE part of my SOUL! The bitch that causes all my suffering!"....'Well....I exploded...' They all stared, in complete shock, slowly digesting this knowledge.

“Kagome-nee!” A small voice shouted from outside.

“Rin-chan!” Kagome yelled back, smiling widely.

“Baka no Onna! My Lord wishes you to return! He could smell your disgusting blood & sent me to retrieve you!" An extremely annoyed Jaken yelled back.

“And that, is Jaken," Kagome said with a smile, the anger from moments before already forgotten. She was quite fond of the lil' toad, & was happy him & Rin-chan had come.
