Kagome's Return chapter 2



______________________


In a few minutes, they find a stable with some horses. "Just
knock out the guard, Sesshomaru." Kagome whispers, as they look
around.

He sighs. He vanishes in a blink of an eye. A few seconds later,
the door opens, and Sesshomaru waves her inside. He closes the
door once she enters.

"Hang on, a second, Sesshomaru." Kagome writes down the address
of the stable. ‘Once we get home, I'll see about sending
something to pay for the horse.' She blinks, "Wait." She takes
out the cash that they looted from the gang and places it down on
one of the desks.

She shakes her head. "No. This might have my fingerprints. I'll
find a different way to pay them." She picks up the cash.

While Kagome is puttering around the office, Sesshomaru is
drawing a magical symbol on the floor.

He takes a horse out of the stable and walks it into the middle
of the symbol. "I'm ready."

Kagome walks out of the office. "What will we use in hell?"

"Some of the demons, of course." Sesshomaru replies.

She grimaces and nods.

They stand in the symbol.

Sesshomaru begins to chant.

He slashes the horse's throat.

A portal full of absolute blackness opens.

All the other horses in the stable's whiny in fear and try to break free of their ropes.

Kagome takes a step toward it.

Sesshomaru stops her from entering the portal.

A low, rough growl sounds in Sesshomaru's chest.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome hesitantly asks in a small voice.

"Something is wrong." He replies, "That is not how the spell operates."

A tentacle of absolute black stretches from the portal it ‘looks' around and then wraps around
Kagome.

Kagome bites her lips as the tentacle wraps around her. Weakness, fatigue, despairs seeps into
her . . .

Kagome concentrates her hand's glow white. The Tentacle squeezes her, hard, the pain breaks
her concentration and the glow of her hand's fade.

Sesshomaru slashes the tentacle with Tokijin, without visible effect.

The Tentacle lifts up Kagome and throws her toward the wall.

Sesshomaru, moving at full speed, catches her before she hits the wall.

The Tentacle wraps around Sesshomaru. He shoves Kagome away from him.

He screams in agony, "ARGhh!" His hands try to grab the tentacle, but for some reason he
cannot seem to touch the tentacle.

Kagome looks around for a weapon. ‘Damn. He's carrying the weapons. Since this is my world,
I didn't want to have a sword around my waist.' She instantly thinks.

A second tentacle whips out of the portal and reaches for Kagome. She rolls away from it,
smashing into a trash can, with a broom leaning against it. It tips over, spilling its contents onto
her.

Kagome grabs the broom and hits one of the stalls with the broom. The head of the broom snaps
off, leaving a jagged point. This turns the broom handle into a makeshift spear.

Sesshomaru screams again. Kagome can see the black tentacle wrapping around his chest. She
can hear his bones shatter.

Kagome charges the spear with her power. The spear glows white.

Kagome throws the glowing white spear into the portal.

A blinding flash of light fills the sable. All the horses' whiny of panic reaches a crescendo.

The light fades . . .

The portal is gone.

Sesshomaru falls face first to the ground, like a sack of grain, bleeding from his mouth, ears and
eyes.

Kagome rushes to him and carefully turns his body over, so she can see his face. She gasps and
places her ear to his chest.

Nothing . . . ‘no heart beat!' she thinks.

She places her hands on his chest. "Live!" She yells through gritted teeth.

Her hands glow. The glow spreads up her arms and over his body.


Sesshomaru's body jerks. "Live! Sesshomaru!" she screams.


The glow fades . . .

Sesshomaru coughs, spitting blood over him and Kagome. She wraps him in her arms.
Sesshomaru hugs her back.

"Are you Ok?" She whispers.

"Yes. Thanks to you." He whispers back. He kisses the top of her head.

"What happened?" Kagome asks in a frightened voice.

Sesshomaru sits up, coughs, and licks his lips. "This Sesshomaru does not know. The spell,
perhaps, opened to a different hell?"

"Do we try it again?"

A pause.

"Sesshomaru?"

"This Sesshomaru is unsure, my consort. Spells that open portals to hell are not something to be
treated lightly. If I knew what hell we opened, I could try to modify the spell. But, I do not
know exactly what hell the portal opened to."

Kagome shivers, "Opening a random portal to a random hell doesn't sound like a good idea."

"It is not a good idea." Sesshomaru replies. He frowns and looks out one of the windows. "The
light must have been visible, Kagome, and it has attracted attention. I'm hearing approaching
humans."

Kagome looks out the window, herself. She doesn't see anything, but, given her senses, that's to
be expected. "Let's leave before they get here."

Sesshomaru nods, gathers her into his arms, and he quickly vanishes from the stable.

A couple of minutes later. A police car rolls up, lights flashing.

Sesshomaru flies over Central Park and lands in one of the wooded areas of the park.

They both concentrate on their clothes, and clean themselves.

Kagome smiles, "this a bit more comfortable than being in among all those buildings, right,
Sesshomaru." She says in a teasing voice. She thinks, ‘Something to lighten things up. He's not
going to like the fact that his plan didn't work.'

He grunts as he turns around, ignoring her. ‘What happened? I know that I've only rarely used
spells like that. But. I don't make mistakes like that. I must investigate this, once I get more
time.' He thinks.

Kagome places her hand on his shoulder and squeezes. "It's ok, Sesshomaru. We'll get home."

"I believe you found a, what did you call it, a cell phone on those thugs that we fought earlier."
Sesshomaru says, "You did interrupt your phone call to your mother. I believe that we will be
here long enough for you to call again."

"Your right, I did." Kagome says. She kisses where his shoulder blade juts out. "Thank you, for
reminding me."

‘He wants to find out about Rin, but he doesn't want to ask me.' She thinks.

Kagome flips open the cell phone and calls.

The phone rings . . .

"Hello. This is the Higurashi Residence." Sota answers.

"Sota!"

"Kagome! Hang on! I'll get mom!"

A couple of second later.

"Kagome!" Mrs. H's voice is full of relief.


"Mother! How are they?!"

"Better."

"Do you have time to talk?" Kagome's voice is full of relief.

"Yes. I hope. Sota's is watching them. Chika just left. She needs to get some supplies from her
house."

"What happened?"

Mrs. H sighs . . .

"I don't know. Inu-yasha dropped them off. He said something about Naraku attacking."

"Naraku attacked the village." Kagome whispers. "I was gone, and he took advantage of that."

"I, I don't know, Kagome. Inu-yasha said something about Shippo trying to trick him, but he
didn't go into details."

A pause . . .

"Kagome?" Kagome's mother asks in a quiet voice.

"How are they, really?" Kagome replies in a quiet voice.

Mrs. H sighs, again, deeper.

"Chika didn't know what to think about Shippo. I think, that if it had just been him, I think she
would not have noticed Rin. But, Rin . . . " Mrs. H's voice trails off.

"What about her?" Kagome asks as she looks at Sesshomaru. She can see him tense. She can
hear his teeth grind together. Her mystical senses can feel his anger.

"She. She is unconscious. Chika said that none of the injuries are life-threatening, except for her
skull. Without X-ray's, Chika wasn't sure, but, Rin is in a coma."


"Any idea when she'll wake up?"

"No." Mrs. h, slowly replies. "If she ever wakes up."

A pause . . .

"Keep her alive, Mother." Kagome voice sharpens as she orders her mother. "Even if that means
taking her to a hospital. Keeping my life normal is not worth losing hers."

Even Kagome can hear her mother's sharp intake of breath at that order. Sesshomaru spins
around, and looks at her.

"Of course." Mrs. H replies. "I had already made that decision."

"Thank you, mother." Kagome whispers.

A pause . . .

Kagome's eyes flick to Sesshomaru. She holds the phone up to him and mouths the words, "Do
you want to talk to her?"

Sesshomaru looks at the phone. He pales, slightly, and shakes his head, no.

Kagome raises an eyebrow, and conceals a smile.

"Kagome, have you thought about how to get home?" Mrs. H asks. "I don't know how to send
you money. And I know that you don't have a passport."

"Yes. We've been talking about it, trying to plan."

"We?" Mrs. H interrupts. "AH, yes. That other voice, you said, the first time, was Sesshomaru, I
believe."

"Yes."

"Wait. Plan? You two are planning something. From everything that you've told me about him,
Sesshomaru is one of your enemies."

"We've learned to depend on each other, mother."

"Depend on each other?"

Kagome blushes. "Can it wait until I can explain it to you in person?" she sputters.

A pause.


"I see." Mrs. H hisses.

A pause . . .

"What is this plan that you have thought about?" Mrs. H finally asks.

"Right now, it looks like we'll have to travel across the united states, then up Canada, and circle
around the pacific like that."

"Why? Ah. No money and no visa." Mrs. h replies. "You said that Sesshomaru can fly?"

"Yes, he can mother, but the distances."

"I understand." She says, then, after a small pause. She mentions, "That route will take time."

"Yes. I know. But, I don't see any other choice." Kagome replies. "If we had a visa and some
money, it'll be different, but."

"Hmmm." Mrs. H replies. "Hang on a second, my dear. I want to get something."

Mrs. h leaves the phone.

Kagome looks at Sesshomaru. "Do I need to ask about Rin? Or are there any other questions that
you want me to ask?" she whispers.

Sesshomaru purses his lips. "Not right now." He pauses, as he acts like there is something else
he wants to say, then he shakes his head, no. ‘How do I talk to her mother? My normal manner
of speaking to a human, is not a good idea, I believe. So? How do I talk to her?' he thinks.

Kagome slowly shakes her head.

"Kagome?" Mrs. H's voice sounds in the phone.

"Yes, mother?"

"I think I've found a way for you to get a visa."

"How?"

"A couple of days ago, the newspaper ran an article about ‘sex slaves' and they mentioned that
girls are kidnaped and sold in the states."

"Ok. But, I don't."

"They have to smuggle the girls into the states. So, whoever is doing it, will be able to make fake
visa's."

"Oh, I see." Kagome breathes. "They don't have to be prefect, just good enough to last one trip."

"Yes." Her mother replies. "And, since you're in New York. There should be criminals around.
And if Sesshomaru is as strong a fighter as you've always said."

"We can just bully our way through them, until we find someone that can make a fake visa for
us." Kagome interrupts.

"And, I'm sure that they'll have some money that you can use to pay for the tickets." Her mother
completes her plan.

A quick low laugh escapes Kagome's mouth, "I need to plan with you more often, Mother. This
is better than my plan or Sesshomaru's plan."

Sesshomaru starts to growl, but sharply nods. "This Sesshomaru will need you, Miko Higurashi
Kagome, to explain this plan."

Kagome, over the phone, nods to him. "I will, Sesshomaru."

"He's listening?" Kagome's mother asks. "Ah. I see. His hearing."

A pause.

"Mother?"

"I'll want to see his eyes, my daughter, before I talk to him."

Kagome looks at Sesshomaru.

His eyebrow raises. He nods, slowly. "Any woman that can raise you, Miko Higurashi Kagome,
is special. That request." His lips twist into something that might be a smile, "Simply shows
that."

A pause. Mrs. H softly laughs into the phone.

"Mother?"

"Nothing, Kagome. I'll explain when you get home."

"Ok."

"Sota just waved from the top of the stairs. I'll talk to you later." Kagome's mother says, just
before she hangs up.

"Bye, mom." Kagome says into the silent phone. She closes it.

"Well?" Sesshomaru asks, "What is this plan?"

Kagome purses her lips as she thinks, "There are criminals in this city."

"All cities have criminals."

"These criminals, in order to operate, make fake identity papers. The papers that we'd need in
order to purchase travel on one of the airplanes."

He nods. "I see."

"And, while I don't like stealing, I have no problems taking their money to pay for those
tickets." Kagome says, slowly. Sesshomaru nods.

She continues, "basically, we locate them." She smiles, "you'll get to kill or smash them up.
They'll direct us to someone that can furnish us with the fake paperwork. And we use that, and
some money we take from them, to fly home."

"How do we locate these criminals?" Sesshomaru looks around. "This city is many times larger
than Kyoto or Osaka."

Kagome nods. "Hmmm. How?" she blinks, "Sesshomaru, do you know what opium smells
like?"

"Of course."

"Opium is illegal. The people that smuggle it into the city will have access to people that can
give us fake identity papers."

Sesshomaru nods. "I locate the opium, and then we when locate the criminals?"

Kagome smiles, "you get to release some of your frustrations."

The tips of Sesshomaru's fangs peak out between his lips . . .

A few minutes later . . .


"Sesshomaru. We'll have to find someplace else." Kagome whispers to Sesshomaru as they look
at a brightly lit building.

"Why? I can smell something like opium, all throughout that building." Sesshomaru replies.

"Because, Sesshomaru, that is a hospital." Kagome points to the emergency entrance. "We can't
attack it. What you are smelling is the morphine in it."

"Then where shall we go?" Sesshomaru growls. ‘I hate this city. The smells are disguising. And
Kagome is forcing me to hide in the shadows. The buildings are a marvel, perhaps. But. I want to
get home. And from the visits to the city she called Tokyo in previous worlds. They are not
much better. She's mentioned that Inu-yasha doesn't spend much time on her side of the well. I
can see why.'

Kagome frowns, "We need to go someplace where there are a lot of shadows. You know like
where that gang was."

"A couple of them smelled of opium." Sesshomaru remarks.

"Good. Then, hopefully, somewhere around there, we'll find someone."

Sesshomaru frowns as he looks around, trying to orient himself and their travels. He gathers
Kagome in his arms and he flies away.

Inside the hospital . . .

"Nurse! Nurse!" A teenage boy, with his arm in sling yells.

A nurse enters into the room. "Yes! What do you need?!"

"I just saw someone fly by the window!"

The nurse looks at the teenager. She looks at his chart. ‘His painkiller shouldn't cause
hallucinations. I wonder what other drugs are in his system? I'll go along with him and see if he
tells me.'

She smiles, "that's wonderful!"

"You don't believe me . . . "


A few minutes later, near where Kagome and Sesshomaru meet that gang.

Kagome and Sesshomaru are standing on a roof overlooking another building. Both buildings are
dimly lit. "I can smell something like opium in that building." He points.

Kagome nods. "Is that a back door?" she points.

"I think so. It is an opening."

Kagome looks around. ‘No police. And the other people that I'm can see, don't look like their
upstanding citizens. So.' She looks at Sesshomaru.

She can see his jaw clench. ‘He's getting frustrated. The smells and noises of the city have to be
hurting him. And he wants to begin to travel home, not sneak around a city. In addition I'm sure
his feeling about Rin.'

She forms her hands into fists. Her nails dig deep into her palm. ‘No. Don't think about Shippo.
No. Don't think about Inu-yasha. Don't think about the village at Naraku's mercy. Don't think
about that.' She thinks.

"Sesshomaru." She reaches out and pets his arm. "The criminals have their own slang words and
culture. I've seen enough movies that I can probably imitate them, and get us inside without
combat."

He looks at her, without expression.

"But." She smiles, "that takes time. And I want to get home."

"So." He hisses.

"Do you smell guns inside the building?" she asks. "And how many people are in the building?"

"There are guns, and there are about a dozen humans in the building. Most of them seem to be in
a room in that part of the building." He points to a place near the back door of the building.

"Give me my sword. And break out the guns." She smiles. "Right now, I'm in a very Inu-yasha
type mood and just want to smash some heads."

Small flames appear in Sesshomaru's eyes.

"We will need them alive, so we can ask them questions, ok?"

He grunts, but nods. He swings the backpack off his shoulders.

A minute later.

In the alley behind the building. In front of the door stands Sesshomaru. He is wearing his
swords, but his gun is slung. ‘These are only humans, so why do I need a gun? I won't even need
my swords.' He thinks.

Kagome is standing beside him, she is looking around, making sure that no one is watching.
"I'm ready." She whispers.

Sesshomaru rips the door on the building. He enters the building.

Kagome, her hand on her gun, shakes her head as she follows him.

Less than a minute later . . .

In a smashed up room, near the backdoor, there is a table. On the table are bags of various
powders, pills, and other drug paraphernalia. A large black shoulder bag is on the table, it is
partially opened and it is full of cash.

On the floor, in addition to some trash, are half-a-dozen bleeding and unconscious humans. A
dozen or so broken guns and knives are also laying on the floor.

Sesshomaru is holding a large, beefy man by the throat, one-handed, well off the floor. The man
is trying to struggle but Sesshomaru is effortlessly controlling him.

Kagome is standing by the table, her gun dangling by the strap.


"Well?" Sesshomaru hisses at Kagome.

"We need new identity papers. If you tell us where to go to get them, he'll let you go." Kagome
mentions to the man that Sesshomaru is holding.

"I don't know!" the man screams.

Sesshomaru reaches out with his other hand and grabs the man's right hand. Sesshomaru's hand
glows green.

The man screams in agony! "It burns!"

Kagome grimaces, but doesn't stop Sesshomaru. ‘There was a young girl in here. I let her leave.
It was obvious what she was doing to pay for her drugs. If they won't tell us, Sesshomaru can
hurt them and force them to tell us.' She sighs, ‘I don't like it, but we don't have time to be
gentle.'

"Tell us, human." Sesshomaru growls, looking into the man's eyes. Sesshomaru's golden eye's
redden, and his fangs are visible.

"you… you're not human." The man whimpers. His right hand is red with acid burns.

"No, he is not." Kagome replies. ‘What type of story do I tell him?'

She smiles, "He was part of a government DNA experiment. I rescued him, and we need to leave
the country. You've got two choices, help us and we'll leave. Or delay us, and sooner or later the
government will track us." She waves at all the drugs in the room. "I'm sure that this will make
them even happier."

"I don't know!" the man begs. "I just carry the bags. I don't know anything!"

"Is he telling the truth?" Kagome asks.

"He's too frightened to lie." Sesshomaru points to the large wet spot at the man's crotch.

"Then" Kagome waves to the other unconscious people in the room, "which one of these would
know?"

The man points to one of the unconscious men laying on the floor. "He's the boss. His name is
Joe."

Sesshomaru slaps the man, knocking him unconscious. He drops him to the floor. He bends over
and picks up the man he pointed to. Joe is a smaller man, with long stringy hair, his clothes are
of a fancier cut the first man.

As Sesshomaru is standing up, with Joe in his grip, his eyes flick to the table with the drugs on it.
‘What is that white powder? My sense of smell is being overwhelmed. Something inside me
wants to smell it, and taste it.' His eyes flick to Kagome, who is staring distastefully around the
room. ‘I'll ask her later. She seems to dislike everything in this room. I must ask her why.'

He glances at the doorway. ‘I don't like this place. Underground, there is some massive machine
that passes under us on a regular basis. The noise confuses me. And, with that white powder in
the room, my sense of smell isn't what it should be. I'm not going to be able to sense humans,
like I should. Still, that shouldn't be a problem, they're only humans.' He thinks.

Sesshomaru holds Joe up, by his neck, and slaps him awake. "Wake up, Human." He growls
into Joe's eyes, as he awakens.

"What? Who?" Joe mumbles through a split lip.

"Tell us where to get some fake id, Joe." Kagome says. "It'll go easier on you."

"Bitch." Joe begins to say. Sesshomaru holds up his clawed hand in front of Joe's eyes.

"I am not human." Sesshomaru says in his most menacing voice. "Tell us what we wish to know,
and live. Refuse us and die." He smiles, showing his fangs. "Most horribly die."

"Sure. Sure." Joe looks around. ‘What are these two? One second we were having a simple deal,
then he shows up and everyone is down. And now?' he thinks. ‘Maybe if I tell him something,
he'll let me go.'

"The man to see is . . . " Joe gives Sesshomaru and Kagome a name and address.

"Is he telling the truth?" Kagome asks.

Sesshomaru looks at Joe. "No. He was lying." He grabs one of Joe's hands and burns it. "Tell us
the truth!" Sesshomaru growls as the smell of Sesshomaru's acid fills the room.

CLICK

Sesshomaru instantly flings Joe into the wall and spins around.

In the doorway is a couple of men. One has a pistol in each hand. The other has a shotgun.

The guy with the shotgun is pointing toward Sesshomaru. The guy with the pistols has them
aimed at Kagome.

‘The noise of that machine, the smell of the powder, I didn't notice them!' He thinks in that
instant.

Both men, seeing Sesshomaru's move, instinctively pull the trigger on their guns.

Sesshomaru is fast. He can dodge bullets, even. But. In this case there isn't a lot of space in the
room. And, one of the weapons is a shotgun, which is not shooting a single slung.

In the instant, the one in which the guns fire, Sesshomaru moves.


He manages to dodge the shotgun pellets. He manages to shove Kagome under the table and
anyway from the pistol bullets. He, even, manages to dodge one of the pistol pullets, but not
both.

Both men fire again, into Sesshomaru's prone body on the floor.

Kagome rolls under the table and pops up, her machine gun firing. Both men dance as the bullets
hit them and the doorway.

They fall over dead . . .


Kagome pulls out Jaa Kalpa and waves it at the doorway. A wall of ice forms sealing the room.

She scrambles around the table and sits next to Sesshomaru. ‘He saved my life, again.' She
thinks, ‘but, this time, at least, I get to save his right back.'

She places her hands on his body. Her hands glow.

Sesshomaru groans. He spits out a bullet. ‘That hurt!' he thinks.

"Don't move!" Joe screams as he stands up, Kagome's submachine gun in his hands.

Kagome looks at him. "Don't move." She orders as she lashes out with the JEDI mind trick, but
with a force and a power that would shock any JEDI.

The frightened/excited expression on Joe's face vanishes. His face slackens, becoming dull.

"I'm through playing by the rules." Kagome says in a low angry voice.

She thinks, ‘I don't like mind control spells. I've been mind controlled too many times to want to
do it to another person. But, we've got to have that information. And I can hear more people on
the other side of that ice wall. Sooner or later, they'll get over their surprise and break through
it.'


"Tell me where to get a fake passport." Kagome orders as she stares into Joe's eyes.

Joe's eyes glaze over and he begins to speak.

Sesshomaru stands up, inspecting his body and the room. He nods as he sees the ice wall. ‘Now
that I'm looking for them, I can sense about a dozen men on the other side of that wall.' He
frowns, ‘And I can sense that girl that Kagome let go. She must have told them about us.'

"Sesshomaru, tell me when they start to move." Kagome says as she writes down the name and
address that Joe is telling her.

As soon as, Joe is finished. Kagome looks into his eyes, "Sleep."

He falls over, unconscious.

Kagome slumps and rubs her forehead. She softly moans.

Sesshomaru's arm is instantly around her, "what's wrong?"

"I'm just tried, Sesshomaru." Kagome whispers, "I've had to use my powers twice to bring you
back to life tonight. And, then," She hugs him. "And then, those guns. I was frightened when I
popped up and started shooting."

She gives a low laugh, "the adrenalin just wore off."

"And now?" Sesshomaru asks.

"And now, we take the money, smash out through the wall and into the alley and fly away."
Kagome points to the wall. "With guns going off, I'm sure that the police will be here soon. And
I want to get away before they show up."

Sesshomaru looks at the money. "Shouldn't that money be enough to bribe the police into
silence?"

Kagome shakes her head, "things don't work that way anymore, Sesshomaru."

"hmmm. Odd. Humans are not that honest."

Kagome sighs. ‘I've got to teach him about humans.'

Sesshomaru frowns, "I'm hearing those sirens, the ones that you said are the police, they are
approaching rapidly. And the humans on the other side of the ice wall are leaving."

Kagome grabs the money on the table. She looks at the unconscious humans on the floor. ‘I had
been thinking about burning the drugs, but, there would be no way to control the fire. However,
if the police will be here soon, they'll catch them inside the room.'

"Let's go, Sesshomaru." Kagome says.

They leave . . .

Later, close to daybreak in a better part of town . . .

At the back of a nice house.

"This had better be the correct place." Sesshomaru growls.

Kagome's mouth twitches into a small smile, "It's taken us longer than I thought it would, but I
think that this is it."

She nods to the door, "go ahead and open it, Sesshomaru."

The door opens before he can smash it open. An older man, wearing casual clothes opened it.

"I take it that you two are the ones that have been ripping up the town tonight." He says.

"Yes." Kagome nods. "We are the ones."

"From what I've been told, you're looking for new identity papers, social security cards,
passports, etc." The man says.

"Who told you?" Sesshomaru growls over Kagome's shoulder.

The man looks at Sesshomaru. He blinks. ‘He is . . . ' He can feel his testicles shrink closer to his
skin. He licks his lips, "I received a call, a few minutes ago." He says. He pauses, "I was told to
help you."

Kagome and Sesshomaru look at each other. Sesshomaru raises an eyebrow. Kagome minutely
shrugs.

"Please enter, I'll need to take a couple of pictures and get my equipment ready." The man says
as he waves them into the house.

"What names should I put on the papers?" He asks as he closes the door.

Elsewhere . . .

The images of Kagome, Sesshomaru, and the forger fade from view.

"Why didn't you just transfer them directly to Japan, instead of this . . . " Skuld asks as she
waves to the mirror where the images of Kagome and Sesshomaru were.

Belldandy looks at her younger sister, "because, by the time, that I was told about this. Which
was only a few minutes ago, by the way." She looks at Urd. Urd looks at the ceiling, ignoring
her sister. "It was easier to help them this way. I've still got to back and clean up the messes that
they'd created."

She sighs. "Removing the prints, evidence, planting some false stories. Making sure that nobody
believes what happened tonight." She looks at Urd. "And I will have help, correct?"

Urd sighs. "Yes."

The end chapter 3.




Authors' note: I had a reviewer point out that some of the terms I'm using are technically
mistaken. Ie modern bullets don't use ‘gunpowder', but they use a nitroglycerin related formula.
Kagome doesn't know that. All she knows is what she's seen on TV. She uses the terms that
she's seen/heard. (This applies to everything, so, if she doesn't name something properly, that
could be the reason.) And since Sesshomaru has learned about the future from her, so that is
what he calls it. (The professor & the skipper helped, but, Kagome still tends to name things
based on what she's used to.)
