InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dry Well a Portal to Where? ❯ Old Firends, New friends... ( Chapter 2 )

Nanna cleaned and rapped the woman's wounds, and Sango helped her change the girls clothing, so the mystery woman was now in a hoodie, T-shirt, and jeans, instead of the bloody robes.

 

Sango set the bow and quiver in the corner, as Nanna allowed the boys back in.

 

“So that's what Bitch from hell would look like with out all the face paint, and painted on clothes…” Shippou said, ever the blunt one.

 

 

 

Kagome groaned softly, then whimpered, as she tried to move, her right shoulder burned with pain. She scrunched her already closed eyes, shit farther, as a pink glow enveloped her right shoulder, and the pain along with the wound disappeared.

 

Inu Yasha looked to the `wise' monk.

 

“Dude… That only happens in the ancient legends… Something tells me, she ain't from around here.” Miroku said, crossing his arms, as he allowed his eyes to loose focus as he used his aura to see the woman's. “Damn, how come only the hot girls can kill me!” Miroku sighed.

 

Sango blushed out of the line of sight of the monk.

 

Kagome's eyes shot open sensing the demonic auras so close to hers. She was on her feet, and over the couch, with her bow armed and ready pointed at Inu Yasha and Shippou.

 

“Sleeping beauty wakes…” Shippou said. “Lady, you were unconscious, check your shoulder, we looked after your wounds till you could use your ancient holy mumbo jumbo, if I was gonna kill you, I wouldn't have had Nanna see to the wounds, I'd have killed you before we dragged you out of that old well. We were hoping to get to know you before we decide whither to feed you to his dad or not.” Shippou said, gesturing to Inu Yasha.

 

Inu Yasha raised an eyebrow as the arrow glowed pink…

 

Miroku moved on impulse, and stood between the woman and Inu Yasha. “You would not shoot a Monk in order to obtain your target.” He said.

 

Shippou followed the Monk's lead, and picked up Sango, and placed her in front of him.

 

Sango looked up at the Kitsune.

 

“What? I don't wanna get purified, I try to be a nice guy, I guess the saying no good deed goes unpunished applies here.” Shippou smirked.

 

“Where am I, and what are these funny robes you wear?” The woman demanded.

 

“Tokyo, Sunset Shrine, Higurashi Residence. Those… They're called clothes, princess.” Inu Yasha said.

 

“Where is Keade, and what is Tokyo!” She growled.

 

“Who is Keade, and Tokyo is one of the largest cities in Japan, currently Inu Taisho's home for his palace.” Miroku answered.

 

“Keade is my teacher, my mentor, that was my first kill unaided.” The woman said. Her eyes went unfocused.

 

Inu Yasha made a move to go to the priestess, and possibly disarm her, but Miroku stopped him.

 

“She's examining our auras to see if we are a threat to her. Hold still, otherwise she'll shoot you before she sees what she needs to.” Miroku explained.

 

Kagome opened her eyes, and lowered her bow, reabsorbing her Miko energy. “My name is Kagome, I am the local Miko, and the protector of the Shikon No Tama.”

 

“My name is -“ Miroku started but was cut off.

 

“Scumbag?” Inu Yasha suggested.

 

“Hentai?” Sango suggested.

 

“The mad groper?” Shippou offered.

 

“MIROKU, I come from a long line of Houshi's.” He finished glaring at his friends.

 

“Groper?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yeah, stay out of arms reach of him.” Inu Yasha suggested.

 

“My name is Shippou, I'm full blooded Kitsune, and I was adopted by Inu Taisho, like Miroku, and Sango were.” The kitsune explained.

 

“Inu Taisho is… I must meet with him!” Kagome said.

 

“I'm Jason, or Inu Yasha, son of the great Lord.” The Hanyou bowed.

 

“I met his son, and I nearly purified his pompus butt, but his father came to his rescue, he and I were friends, I do not understand how such a cold hearted boy could have come from such a wonderful man.” Kagome said.

 

“Sesshoumaru, you should have purified his ass, and saved me a shit load of grief…” Jason growled. “My older brother is an asshole, just because he's a pure blood, and I'm half human.” Inu Yasha sneered.

 

“My name is Sango, I'm a Taijiya, and I come from a long line of them.” Sango put in.

 

“Prince Sesshoumaru was about nine years old last time I saw him, and should be about fifteen…” Kagome said confused.

 

“He's my older brother, try 515 years old…” Jason rolled his eyes. “I'm about 19 in human years, demon years too.” Jason said thinking.

 

“Call me Nanna Higurashi, this is my home, and I was the nanny for these four as they grew up.” A woman in her early forties, as she brought in tea, and sandwiches.

 

Kagome bowed low to Nanna. “Thank you, Lady Higurashi for seeing to my wounds, and for the clean robes.”

 

“Don't be silly girl, and friend of those four is welcome in my house with good reason.” She smiled, before heading back to the kitchen.

 

The five sat down on the couch, and in the chair, and on the floor. Jason on the floor, Shippou on the armrest of the couch, Miroku, and Sango on the couch, with a large gap between them, and Kagome in the recliner.

 

“I must meet with Inu Taisho, Naraku has spies in the Lord's court, and they will assassinate Inu Taisho, if he is caught of guard…” Kagome said, getting to her feet and pacing. “Naraku tried to kill me because I tried to get a message to your father, I must speak with the Lord.”

 

“Lady that happened about five hundred years ago, thanks to some old woman, he was prepared, he easily took out that bastard hanyou.” Jason said.

 

“Naraku is not dead, and he will kill your father, if I do not get word to him!” Kagome said.

 

Something struck Inu Yasha funny, he got up and bolted out the door, to come back about five minutes later with a black bead, and white fang rosary around his neck. “Alright, we're going to see my father. Sango, you and monk take Kirara, Shippou, you and me are running, I'll carry this wanna be Miko.”

 

“Sit!” Kagome growled. The necklace glowed, and Jason face planted the floor. “I am fully trained, I was brought up a priestess, and I will purify you, I just need a bit more combat training.” She raged.

Miroku raised an eyebrow. “Jase, where'd you get the necklace?”

 

“You wouldn't believe me if I told you.” Inu Yasha said executing a push up, he stood, and then crouched. “Climb on, miko.” He said.

 

Sango let out a whistle as she stepped out the front door, and there was a Clydesdale sized fire-cat ready and waiting for her and the monk. “Miroku, you're in front.” She ordered.

 

Miroku rolled his eyes, as he and she took their places on the cat's back.

 

Inu Yasha walked out, with the woman on his back. He slipped off his sneakers, and left them in the front hall of Nanna's house, with a promise to pick them up later. He stood barefoot, beside Shippou, and Kirara.

 

Shippou had his cell phone out. “Dad, we got some one you might wanna meet, some one who calls herself Kagome. I'm not joking dad, Sango, Miroku, and Yash are here with me at Nanna's, please tell me you have a couple minutes?”

 

“Dad, get Fluffy over there too, she said something about damn near purifying his ass when he was nine, she said it more eloquently but… You get the point.” Jason said loud enough he knew his dad would hear.

 

“What is the little black thing he is talking into…” Kagome asked.

 

“I'll explain later.” Jason said.

 

“North tower, ten minutes, meet him in his penthouse, he'll leave the roof door unlocked.” Shippou said, as he pocketed his phone.

 

“You heard him.” Jason smirked at Kirara. “C'mon Neko, let's see if you can catch up.” He smirked. He took off at his full speed, leaping from the top of the stairs to a roof of another building, to building.

 

Kagome was in awe, she had her bow and quiver on her back, and she held tightly to the Hanyou that carried her. She'd resisted the internal urges so far to tweak his ears.

 

Shippou was only a roof behind Jason, and Kirara was running on the air as fast as she could.

 

Inu Yasha touched down gracefully, the wind ripping at his clothes, as he landed on the roof.

 

Shippou landed behind him, and stumbled, he bent at the waist, his hands on his knees, panting. “Been ages since we done that…” He panted. “We gotta do that more often, dog-boy.”

 

Inu Yasha's face was serious, he didn't let the priestess down.

 

Sango and Miroku landed on either side of the hanyou, as Kirara took kitten form, and sat on Sango's shoulder.

 

Inu Yasha headed for the door.

 

Kagome held tightly to the Hanyou, not sure what to expect. She came to her senses. “Please put me down, Prince.” She asked.

 

Inu Yasha smirked, and crouched allowing her to stand. He lead the way down the stairs and to his father's penthouse.

 

A man, with the same long silver hair as Inu Yasha, and the elf ears that were common of pure bloods, smirked ever so slightly. His amber eyes were cold, and he stood a tall 6'6” or so, he was lean, and he wore an armani suit. He had a bluish purple crescent moon on his forehead, and twin crimson stripes on his cheeks. He had a white fluffy tail, rapped around one shoulder, and he stood tall and proud.

 

A second man that could pass as the first's older brother sat behind the desk. He looked maybe five years older then the first, and his silver hair was up in a high pony tail, much like a samurai.

 

“Prince Sesshoumaru?” Kagome asked, looking at the first man.

 

“What?” Sesshoumaru asked, deadpan faced, save the slight curiosity in his eyes.

 

“How… You should be fifteen, and your dad was going to shave your tail for being mean to me.” Kagome said softly…

 

“I was Fifteen about 500 years ago, and believe me, it itched when the fur grew back…” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“How…? Inu Taisho?” She asked, looking to her old friend. “My Lord, Naraku, he has spies in your court, and they will kill you if you do not prepare, you must kill Naraku… He will kill me, and take the Shikon no Tama…” She said, after she dropped to one knee, her head bowed.

 

“Lady Kagome?” Inu Taisho asked, sniffing the air. “But you were killed by a dragon demon, 500 years ago, and Keade-baba, had to deliver your message, the Tama has been missing since…”

 

“I was pushed down the well, and I woke up about an hour ago in Nanna Higurashi-sama's hut, I healed myself once I was awake enough, and she had changed my robes. My apologies for almost killing your two demon sons.” She said, still bowed, and confused.

 

“My thanks for listening to them before you shot. I don't wanna have to deal with a pregnant woman again just to get an Inu Yasha replacement.” Inu Taisho said. “Rise, we are friends, you are no one of my subjects.” He said.

 

Kagome did as she was told. “The Tama, it's not missing.” She showed him the necklace she wore, that held the glowing Shikon No Tama. It was pink, untainted, and pure, much like the girl that wore it.

 

They explained how they had found the priestess.

 

“Father, before we left, and before Ship called you, I dropped into the well, I was engulfed in blue light, and landed softly in the bottom of the well, I looked up, and there was open sky, I jumped out into an open meadow, and an old woman launched these at me. Chanting something and yelling at me to tell her what I did with her student.” Inu Yasha said.

 

“Keade!” Kagome said.

“Keade-baba!” Inu Taisho said at the same time Kagome spoke.

 

“So the well, maybe it's a protal to the past…” Inu Taisho said…

 

Sesshoumaru watched the Priestess he'd had a crush on when he was little, the one he'd enjoyed antagonizing because he didn't know what else to do… He caught her scent as the air conditioner came on in the penthouse, and he felt himself react to her smell of innocence. He glanced at his brother, and saw that the Hanyou was having a similar problem. But the Kitsune didn't seem phased. He could tell that Inu Yasha liked the girl, the way Inu Yasha took a step closer to offer her the comfort of his presence. Sesshoumaru decided to test his brother, knowing that the Hanyou's instincts would take over.

 

Sesshoumaru let out a soft but possessive growl that only the canines in the room could hear, as Inu Yasha stepped up beside the Miko.

 

Inu Yasha responded with one of his own, stepping slightly closer to the woman, he growled deep in his chest, his ears back, he glared at his brother.

 

Sesshoumaru actually laughed.

 

Miroku and Sango looked to the older prince. “What the?” Sango asked.

 

“Don't ask, Jason and Fluffy were playing with each other again.” Shippou said.

 

“Kinky.” Miroku said.

 

“Hentai.” Sango smacked the Monk.

 

Inu Taisho laughed softly. “C'mere girl, lemme have a look at you.” The lord said, gesturing for Kagome to come around the desk to him….

 

R&R please…
