Hey there (smiles) I got a snow day today so I thought I would update. I don't own anything. enjoy
Last Time:
“The friends I was talking about were the founders. I spoke to their ghosts when I needed comfort that only they could give. I gave the jewel to Salazar and told him to put it in the walls of Hogwarts. As for the name of the jewel, I need you to promise that you wont freak out because I know for a fact that the jewel was discussed when you studied demons.” Everyone nodded and waited for Kagome to speak. “The jewel is called the Shikon no Tama.”
Hermione's eyes widened at Kagome. Draco and Severus looked like they would fall out of their chairs. Albus did an impression of a fish out of water. Ron looked confused and Harry was between confused and shocked. Kagome looked down and sighed. The silence lasted for another minute before Hermione spoke.
“The Shikon no Tama. Kagome everyone demon I read about is looking for that jewel. How did end up in your possession if it's been missing for five-hundred years?” Kagome looked at Hermione.
“When Kikyo died the jewel was burned with her body. Fifty years later I showed up looking like Kikyo…”
“Wait a minute, you said that you met the founders and what is so important about the jewel?” asked Ron. Kagome smiled as Hermione sighed as asked Ron if he ever paid attention in class. Kagome moved back to her seat and closed her eyes, thinking about the time she met the founders.
“One time Inuyasha was being thickheaded as always, and ran into a trap. The problem was a wizard, not a priest, set the trap. So I had to set him free and battled with a wizard before we managed to get away. It was about twenty minutes after that, two witches appeared and threw curses at me and Sango. Without thinking I pushed Sango out of the way and got hit by both. When I awoke I was in Hogwarts and not only was the headmaster staring at me but so was four ghosts. After another five minutes of explanations I got to talk to the ghosts…or was it because Sal wouldn't shut up about me looking Slytherin like?”
Severus and Albus smiled at that. Kagome continued telling them that after that she stayed for two weeks to recover before she headed back to Japan. The only problem was she was carrying three shards and it would have drawn attention to her even if she did appearate. She then looked at Ron to explain the second part of his question.
“The jewel is very powerful. If a demon got a hold of it their power could multiply about ten times. They'd be stronger than Voldemort could ever imagine probably, I wouldn't know, no demon has gotten a hold of the jewel when I had it while it was hole. If a human got it they would gain power and would be corrupted by the jewel. If some one were to make a pure whish on it, it just might purify the jewel but we wont know until I find it.”
Ron's mouth was hanging open when Kagome finished. Hermione looked deep in thought. Harry grabbed Kagome's hand and gave it a light squeeze. Kagome smiled at him when a knock came at the door. The door opened to show McGonagall, Sesshomaru, Kagura, and two other people.
“They were standing at the doors asking for Kagome.” Kagome motioned them in and one of the girls ran and jumped into Kagome arms.
“Kags it's been sooo long since I last saw you. And damn have you been gaining weight finally, you look irresistible babe.” Kagome laughed and they hugged. She didn't see the smiles on Harry and Draco's faces.
“It's good to see you too Rin and yes I have added a few pounds. And how have you been, any children yet that I have to meet now.” Rin giggled at Kagome and sat in one of the newly conjured chairs. Kagome turned to the other girl and studied both her and Rin. Rin wore jeans and a blue shirt, her hair up in a ponytail. The other wore whit pants and shirt. Her hair was just past her ears and she still had a flower in her hair. “How have you been Kanna?”
“Just fine Kagome in fact I'm expecting in seven months. It'll be my forth.” Kagome smiled and nodded. “I believe introductions are in order.” She turned to the group who was in the office. “My name is Kanna, and the bouncing ball by Sesshomaru is Rin, his mate.”
“Name calling again our we, now play nice you two.” Said Kagura.
“What are you two?” Everyone laughed including Kagome. Harry and Draco smiled at her and when she calmed down their smiles got bigger.
“What are you two smiling about?” she asked. Harry leaned forward and whispered in her ear, making her blush.
“Your laughing, it's nice. You should do it more often.” He kissed her cheek, making her blush deeper, and leaned back in his seat. Rin raised an eyebrow at her.
“Before we start fooling around I believe you sent us to collect something.” Sesshomaru spoke up. Kagome nodded as Rin handed her a something wrapped up in cloth. Kagome pulled out an old rusted sword that looked like it had seen batter days. When she saw nothing else she looked at Rin.
“I'm so sorry Kagome, the ashes were missing. They beat us to them. The only way were going to get them back or Shippo alive is if we have hishelp.” Rin stated, spitting his like it was contagious. Kagome looked at the sword in her hands and nodded.
“The only way were going to do this is with help. Sesshomaru I'll need your help creating a portal there and back. Rin, Kagura, and Kanna I'll need you three to help provide the energy we'll need to keep the portal open. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Draco I'll need you four to keep others from going into the circle we'll make. If anyone gets in our way things might go down hill.” Everyone nodded and headed for the Great Hall.
Once they arrived, Kagome and Sesshomaru headed for one of the walls, while Rin, Kagura, and Kanna stood in a semi-circle around the two. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, Severus, and Dumbledore kept students away from the group. Kagome and Sesshomaru started chanting, turning a bright pink, as a portal started to open. After five minutes the portal opened and everyone could see the land. There was a flat plane, where fire would occasionally spit up from the ground. The ground would break away leaving a hole, showing a pit of lava underneath. There were hills and cliffs in the distance, dropping off to a river of lava.
“Great, just what I thought hell would look like, a fire pit.” Kagome sighed.
“Remember you'll have one hour to get in, find him, and get out. Don't waste time.” Sesshomaru told Kagome who nodded.
“And if she doesn't make it in time?” asked Draco worriedly, which made several students look at the Slytherin in question, while Harry nodded with what Draco said.
“Then my soul will lost in hell forever. Lest just hope he's not too far away.” With that Kagome stepped up to the portal as Harry and Draco told her to be careful. Kagome nodded and walked in. Sesshomaru then closed their side of the portal, making it a viewing glass for them to watch.
Kagome came out on the other side and was met with the heat of a thousand fires. She quickly put up a shield around her and took several breaths. As she stood she noticed her out fit changed from jeans and a shirt to a miko-warrior kimono. The top ended just above her belly button and the sleeves ended at her wrists, hanging off her arms (think Inuyasha's sleeves). The bottom was a short skirt that ended in the middle of her thighs. The whole outfit was white with pink flower petals her and there. She also noticed that she wore three bracelets on each wrist and an anklet on each anklet. She wore no shoes and a ring on her left pinky finger that wrapped around her finger four times.
Kagome held up her hand and whispered, “ Point me”. A small yellow arrow appeared and pointed in front of her. She sighed and started walking. After twenty minutes Kagome stopped as the arrow begin to move. The arrow stopped and turned red, meaning she was close. Kagome took off in the new direction at a run, determined to end this soon. As Kagome ran she thought about the boys and what they meant to her. They drove away the nightmares she had and she helped Harry cope with the loss of his parents. They both help Draco with coping with what his father wanted from him.
As Kagome slowed down to a walk she noticed the river of lava was just in front of her. Kagome sighed as she looked at the lava, it sort of reminded her of her feelings that she used to have for Inuyasha but now she now had for Harry and Draco. Kagome paused in that train of thought. Did she love Harry and Draco? She remembered the conversation she had with Sesshomaru last time. Yes she did love them both. But could she move on enough to be with both of them. She wasn't sure.
She shook her head and looked at the distance between the lands. Walking back she got ready to run and jump. As she started to run Kagome planed her feet just right so she could push off the edge, giving her a bigger push. She was half way across when she noticed she wasn't going to make it. Just as she started to fall a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. Kagome closed her eyes as her feet landed on the ground her breath caught in her throat as the arms tightened then released her. Kagome took several steps back and looked in the golden eyes that betrayed her almost five months ago.
“Kagome what in the hell are you doing here. I know you didn't die.” Kagome looked at Inuyasha as he spoke. She remained silent once he finished, staring at the man she once loved. Inuyasha took this opportunity to check Kagome out. He noticed her body was more toned and he could see the muscles on her arms and legs. Inuyasha wondered what happened to Kagome to make her change. Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and glared at Inuyasha.
“I need you to come back…”
“No.” Kagome stared at Inuyasha with a look of disbelief.
“WHAT!!! I need your help with killing a demon and your going to come weather you like it or not. I helped you get your sword, when you fought Miroku, when you changed into a demon, when Kikyo went missing, when that wizard had you in a trap. Now you're going to come or I'll drag you kicking and screaming if I have to.” It was Inuyasha's turn to stare as Kagome glared at him.
“I told you I have Kikyo now, so just leave us alone…”
“Well just so you know your little mate is on earth again and is going to resurrect Shippo. She's working with a wizard named Voldemort who kills muggles just for fun. His followers do the same and include children in on their fun. I don't know about you but I want the bastard dead. He, in turn, joined up with Naraku…”
“Impossible Naraku's dead…”
“No he's alive. He's been sending me incarnations and sent a message to Sesshomaru. We've proven it's true. He didn't die in the final battle like we thought. Please I'm asking you as an old friend, help me one more time. Just one more time, one more adventure, one more battle.” Kagome took several breaths and turned away from him so he couldn't see her eyes. She felt the tears build up at the thought of their travels and her friends who died and tried to blink them away. Before she could speak again she felt arms encircle her again and held her close. She tried get out of them but he held on tighter until she stopped. She stood there as Inuyasha spoke.
“Kagome, I know I made a mistake but how do I know this isn't a trick to get me back. How do I know as soon I go that you wont try something.” Kagome snapped as Inuyasha gave her a backwards hug. Kagome pulled away and Inuyasha was shocked. Kagome faced him, anger fuming off her face.
“Trick?!? How can I trick you if I don't even love you anymore? How can I love someone when the last thing they say is and I quote `Why have a copy when I could have the original'? How can I love you when every chance you got you put me down by saying I was nothing to you but a shard detector, or a scrawny little girl or a wimp? Well guess what, I found someone else. And I love them but because of you and they way you treated me I'm…scared…I'm scared to move on and get my heart broken again. I just…I just want someone to love me for me and not because I look like Kikyo or I'm powerful.” Kagome stopped. A small smile graced her face as she thought about what she said. Inuyasha watched her and came up with an idea. Why not have both Kagome and Kikyo. With that decided he agreed to go along.
“I'll help you but as soon as Naraku is dead I'm gone.” Kagome nodded and turned around. She held up her hands and started to chant, opening their side of the portal. As they stepped through, Kagome's outfit changed back and she dropped the shield. She turned to Sesshomaru who closed the portal and handed her a set of blue beads. She turned back to Inuyasha who just noticed the beads.
“Oh no, you never said anything about a submission spell. I'm not putting that thing on.”
“Then I guess you want to do things the hard way and for your information this only stops you from changing into a full demon stupid. Now come here.” As Kagome went to put the necklace on, Inuyasha jumped tot eh other side of the hall.
“I agreed to come but not to ware another stupid necklace, and you still didn't remove the first one bitch.” Inuyasha noticed his mistake too late, as Kagome glared at him and opened her mouth. He ran trying to stop her but didn't reach her in time.
“SIT!!!” The necklace activated and pulled Inuyasha down to the ground. While he was immobile Kagome walked up to him and put the necklace on. The beads started to glow a bright blue then stopped. As the spell wore off, Inuyasha jumped up and started to yell at Kagome, who shut him up by starting to say `sit' again.
“Now you wont hurt any student in this school or I'll see to it that you lose certain parts. You will get along with your brother and Kagura and Kanna who are all on our side. You will do as I say or you'll find out just how much I've changed is that clear Inuyasha.” Inuyasha looked at Kagome before nodding.
“Fine but no more s'ing me got that and I'll get along with Sesshomaru as long as he keeps his distance.” Kagome sighed. It was going to be a long night. She asked Dumbledore to show her friends where they could stay the night, seeing as it was now eight o'clock. Once that was done she walked up to Harry and Draco, who led her out of the Great Hall. Inuyasha watched as the trio left before he turned to his half brother.
“Who were they?”
“If I remember correctly, either they were close friends or they were close friends.” Rin laughed as they followed Kagome uncle. Inuyasha glared at their backs before following.
