Bad Day Chapter 7

Im Sorry I Had A Bad Day Again

 

 

Kagome crawled out of the well, grunting as she threw her big bag over the opening. She was struggling to get out when a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.

“Where have you been?” Inu Yasha snarled.

“Home. My aunt is sick! You're lucky I came back when there's someone else I could be having a much more fun time with!” Kagome snapped, remembering his and Kikyou's lustful activities.

“Oh yeah, who?”

“No one you need to worry about. Did you have a good time with Kikyou while I was gone?” Kagome asked.

Inu Yasha looked at her, stunned. He had wondered, but he hadn't known for sure. Now he knew why she had talked to Sesshoumaru. She was so in love with him that she had gone to the solace of Sesshoumaru's embrace because they were brothers!

`Well, Sesshoumaru will only take advantage of her, so I have to make sure nothing bad happens!' Inu Yasha declared silently to9 himself.

“Hello? Care putting me down?” Kagome snapped. Inu Yasha looked at her and almost blushed.

She was still dangling by her wrist in the air.

He put her down and began walking to the village, speaking of shard rumors he had heard in the last few days. Kagome wondered what was up with the sudden mood swing. And again she wondered if Inu Yasha's family had a history with being bi-polar. Both sons seemed to be.

As she walked into the village, Kagome saw Shippou and smiled. Her adopted kit ran up to her and jumped into her welcoming embrace.

“Kagome, I thought you were never coming back! Why did you leave in the middle of the night?” Shippou asked her, tears in his little emerald eyes.

“I had to go home Shippou. My aunt is ill, but I'm back now, and I'll be staying awhile. We have to find the shards and defeat Naraku,” She told him confidently.

“Okay Kagome. We heard a rumor of a youkai who has two shards!” Shippou said excitedly. Kagome nodded and saw Miroku, Sango, and an already transformed Kirara.

“I take it everyone's ready to go?” Kagome asked. The taijiya nodded her agreement and so did the monk. Kagome sighed. She had always held out some kind of hope that she would somehow find them in her time. Now she was faced with the fact that she wouldn't.

But she ignored that niggling feeling and jumped onto Kirara.

No one questioned her new found confidence, but Sango glanced at her friend with admiration. She was pretty sure she knew what Kagome had seen the night she left. But now….

Now a kind of inner confidence had taken place. It was a quiet confidence, but a confidence that commanded respect, no matter how subtle it was.

 

After flying for several hours, Kagome yawned again, lying back on Kirara. Kirara had loaned one of her tails to be used as a backrest for Kagome by bending it a certain way.

“Inu Yasha, we can't continue this way. The women need some rest, and Kirara does too,” Miroku told the hanyou. Inu Yasha looked back at the sleepy women and the ragged looking monk.

“Fine. But we leave at dawn,” Inu Yasha told them. Miroku nodded and Kirara began to lower to the ground.

After they had made camp, Kagome yawned and grabbed her hygiene supplies and began to head out.

“Where the hell are you going?” Inu Yasha asked.

“We've camped here before. There's a hot spring near by. Please let me go take a bath, I really need it. My muscles are screaming at me,” Kagome told him. Inu Yasha nodded after thinking on it for a couple of minutes.

“Fine, but don't do anything stupid,” He told her. Kagome nodded in agreement and began walking towards the springs.

After walking about fifteen minutes, an already weary Kagome sighed with joy and stripped, then slid into the warm hot springs, feeling her tired muscles relax.

During the daylight hours she had been tempted to pull the book out of her bag and read since there wasn't much else to do. Thee group had been unusually quiet today. Shippou and Inu Yasha had bickered some,but not nearly as much as was normal for them. Kagome smiled.

Her kit would grow into a fine demon with two wonderful children.

Kagome blushed, wondering if she should consider them grandchildren.Shippou had called her mother many times, and they were his children, and had called her their grandmother. Her blushed deepened. A grandmother before she was married! What would she tell her mother?

She giggled and began to wash her hair quickly. She didn't want to be caught naked by some youkai, or worse yet, Inu Yasha or Kouga.

When she was done she quickly dried and pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a oversized baggy tshirt that had been her father's. After packing everything up into her hygiene bag she made her way back to camp.

The fire was still burning brightly, but Miroku and Sango were asleep. Shippou was curled up in Kagome's sleeping bag,and Inu Yasha sat in a tree, watching over all of them.

“Kagome, get some sleep. Dawn is about six hours away,” Inu Yasha told her gruffly. Kagome ignored him and crawled into her sleeping bag, hugging Shippou tight to her.

“I love you mamma,” Shippou said in his sleep. Kagome kissed his forehead and held him closer.

“I love you too,” She whispered.

(one of my notes here. Mama is the same in Japanese and English. Since Shippou calls his dad poppa Ill assume he'd call his mom mama.)

 

The next morning, they did not leave at dawn. Instead, they woke in the early morning and made breakfast. Kagome had a fight with Inu Yasha because he had gone through her bag before she had awoken to search for food. In the process he had scattered the object I the bag everywhere.

Kagome frantically gathered everything and made breakfast.

After breakfast she tried to organize things and find the book so she could read it today while she rode on Kirara.

Instead she couldn't find it and sat Inu Yasha several times, fuming and yelling at him at the top of her lungs.

 

Meanwhile, back at Kagome's house, her mother had arrived back home and found her not. She went into Kagome's room to gather the dirty laundry, but found a mess. She gathered up the laundry and put it in the wash and began to make some semblance of order in the room.

She looked with interest at a book on the feudal era, wondering if Kagome had bought it to learn more about the time period she was in.

She sighed and put it on the shelves with all of Kagome's other books, then, with a look around and a sense of pride at cleaning up the mess, she left to go finish laundry.

 

“That book was important!” Kagome bellowed. “And you lost it!”

“How could a book be so important? It's not like it held the key to Naraku's defeat or anything!” Inu Yasha snarled back.

“Sit!”

Boom!

“Dammit wench!” Inu Yasha bellowed. Kagome grabbed her bag and jumped on top of Kirara with Shippou and Sango.

She had searched for hours but had not found the book.

She supposed she'd just have to ask Sesshoumaru for another when she went back to her time.

 

Two hours later, they all saw smoke rising up from a village, billowing into the sky creating noxious clouds akin to Naraku's miasma.

“That village must be on fire!” Kagome gasped.

The group quickly landed and began to run through the village. Kagome heard a cry and ran into the hut the sound had come from.

She saw a neko youkai that looked familiar somehow. The neko was snarling at a little girl who was screaming, pushed in a small corner.

“Let her go!” Kagome screamed over the loud noises all around.

“She will feed my cub!” The youkai snarled.

Kagome felt the building catch fire, felt the heat and smelt the smoke.

Did the others know which hut she was in?

“Find a deer to give your cub, let the little girl go!” Kagome told the youkai. The youkai hissed.

“I cannot slay a deer in these lands. They are Sesshoumaru's! But everyone knows he cares nothing for humans!”

“Let her go!” Kagome said, drawing an arrow from her quiver and notching it in her bow.

The neko youkai hissed once more and ran at Kagome.

Before Kagome realized what was happening, the neko youkai had sliced her side open, and something else had lopped off the neko's head brutally and savagely.

“Lady, lady are you hurt?” The little girl asked. Kagome nodded weakly and tried to focus her eyes, coughing as smoke began to fill the entire hut.

She saw a big white blur pick her up before she lost consciousness.

 

Hours later, Kagome woke, realizing she was laying on a futon in a spacious, comfortable room.

“Kagome'san, you are awake!” Rin voice shouted into her ear. Kagome groaned as the little girl hugged her neck tight and giggled.

“Shippou is here too! Sesshoumaru brought you and him here along with Lin! Shippou and Lin are asleep right now, but they will be awake soon so we can all eat breakfast in here with Kagome!” Rin spoke in a hurried rush, though she had no reason to.

“Rin, go wake up the others and tell Jaken to bring up breakfast. I must speak with Kagome for a minute,” Sesshoumaru told Kagome.

As Rin left the room, Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru's grave face and gulped audibly.

This was a whole different man than the one from the future, and she had to remember that right now.
