Chapter 7
Kittens
“…your soul is set free from this imprisonment as well as the other demons within the jewel.”
“Your wish is my command,” was Midoriko's reply.
And with that Kagome felt herself falling faster and faster until she felt her head hit something hard; open her eyes that she hadn't realized she closed; she stared dazedly at the blue sky. Looking around she noticed a small shrine all boarded up. Standing up she walked closer wondering why it looked so familiar, then it hit her. This was her house! Where was her mother? What had happened to Souta while she was away? Was grandfather still telling those silly stories? Don't answer that, rhetorical question.
Moving slowly she walked towards the aging house. Weeds were sprouting everywhere, ivy climbed high straight into the window of the house. Walking inside she noticed the door squeaked and broke off the hinges. Also huge cobwebs filled the corners and dust covered her mom's beautiful china. Dirt tracked across the floor as Kagome made her way to each room, all the same, empty.
“Hello,” she called, “is anybody home.” However her only answer was the deadly silence that rang over and over, louder by the second in her ears.
Falling to the floor she began to cry, small tears at first, but they grew and grew until full fledged sobs shook her small body. It was this was she stayed for two days until she felt something soft and furry rub against her leg. Looking down she noticed three kittens, strays probably, rubbing lovingly against her leg. Smiling she quickly picked one up. It was grey with multicolored stripes that covered it like a zebra.
“Hello there, what are you doing her?” Kagome asked the cute little creatures.
“I suspect they probably walked,” said a voice from behind. Turning sharply she immediately dropped the kitten while dropping into battle stance, that is till she noticed who stood before her. A guy with raven black hair stood in the middle of the door frame leaning on it with his arms crossed. His hair was jelled back and he wore a green uniform. She didn't move and merely stared at the boy for a couple moments thinking quickly she cast a spell upon herself making her change from her ten year old form into that of a eighteen year old.
“Who are you and how did you get in here.” She said quietly.
“Yusuke, and I walked just like the cat.” He said as he smiled an arrogant smirk. Somehow that didn't help because she fell back to the floor and began to cry again only this time thinking about InuYasha and what she had said before she left.
“Hey why are you crying,” he quickly asked while moving to sit next to her on the dirt. “Hey are you okay? Crap your freezing here,” he said handing her a jacket after touching her.
“Come on lets get out of here this place looks about ready to collapse.” He said while trying to get the girl to move. However the attempt to make her get up was futile for she had already passed out from exhaustion as well as lack of food.
“Oh well,” he said whilst picking her up bridal style and carrying her out of the place. He walked about five feet before seeing a tall red head walking by and rushed down the steps of the shrine yelling his name.
“Hey Kuwabara, could you help a little?” said Yusuke as he walked towards his friend.
“I found this girl and something's wrong with her, she was in that abandoned shrine.”
“Really, you mean the one that's been empty for ten years.” Kuwabara asked.
“Yeah and everyone died except that girl the police never found.” Yusuke replied.
Both quickly looked down at the girl in Yusuke's arms when they heard a moan. She was extremely beautiful with long raven hair the fell in waves down her back and a streak of red, silver, gold, green, and blue mixed in. She wore a bloody fighting outfit that was ripped in several different places; dirt and dust covered her causing her black outfit to turn grayish.
The girl moaned again from within Yusuke's arms only this time she began to shake as well.
“No, no it wasn't my fault, I didn't mean to… no!” She cried out as she began to shake even more. Both Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at each other before quickly running towards the safest and closet place they could think of…Kurama's.
It took the two a couple minutes, but they got to their friend's house quickly. Holding the shaking girl even tighter, Yusuke waited impatiently for someone to come to the door that Kuwabara was all but knocking in to get the resident's attention. After a few seconds the door opened to reveal a handsome redhead with an annoyed look on his usually passive face. However he grew worrisome as he looked down at the woman lying within Yusuke's arms. Turning quickly he led them to his room.
“How did this happen?” Kurama asked.
“I don't know I found her at Higurashi shrine and she was crying. The place was so old though I was afraid it would collapse, I tried to make her get out, but she fainted.” Yusuke answered.
“I see,” was their only reply from the red headed beauty.
“Put her own the bed Yusuke, Kuwabara go boil some water, Yusuke get some towels out of the closet in the hallway.” Order Kurama. The boys quickly rushed to do what they were told as Kurama bent over the girl's skinny form.
Standing up he walked towards his desk and opened one of the drawers. Sighing heavily he took out a small box which he opened to reveal many types of seeds and also some bandages.
Moving the box beside the bed he sat down and began to remove her clothing, pink tinting his face. However just as he was finishing removing the last of the outermost articles Yusuke walked in.
crazy-punk-gurl u>: Thanks for your support, and they did look for Kagome for awhile, but they gave up hope after about ten years, but don't worry everything will become clearer later.
Kage Otome: Thanks for the reviews and exactly why Kagome got turned into a child should be answered soon. Also don't you just love cliffhangers; and yes Sakanaro was almost exactly like Miroku most of the latter shikon searchers were based upon her original friends. Lastly the rest of the Inu-taichi has disappeared for awhile, most have died, but there is one survivor. ^_^
Kanna Fan: Thanks, so I've been told.
inu-girl2.0: thank you!
storywriter10791: Okay
Dagorwen of Ithilien: thanks and yes there will be parings I'm not exactly sure what it will be though. I think it'll probably be Kagome x Yusuke; Keiko x Kurama; Sango x Miroku I'm certain but they won't be in the story much; lastly one of the old characters will be back with an old friend.
