[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Kagome's return chapter 25
from chapter 24
Inu-yasha sighs. He nods. He spins to walk away. He stops. He
spins back around.
He walks over to Kagome and kisses her on the cheek, right where
Sesshomaru kissed. "I love you."
Kagome purrs as she says, "Tonight. You sleep in my room."
Inu-yasha smiles, spins and walks away.
Kagome looks at Shippo. "You?" she asks.
Shippo sighs. "Where do I sleep?"
"With my mother or Sota, I think. What about we go inside and
find out?" Kagome smiles.
Shippo smiles, faintly.
They enter the house.
A few minutes later, Kagome's girl friends and Kagome start to
clean up the kitchen after the pizza party. (Kagome wants to
spend, at least, a few minutes semi-alone with her oldest
friends.)
Mrs. h pulled out several books on classical flower arraigning
and paintings for Rin. Who is sitting on the floor, a book across
her thighs, a piece of paper on the book and a pencil in her
mouth, as she is tracing and drawing.
Mrs. H, Miroku and Sango are in her room, getting it ready for
tonight.
Inu-yasha, Shippo and Sota are moving, the still, sleeping Kohaku
to Sota's room, to free it for Kagome and Inu-yasha. Sota, of
course, is taking this time to pepper Inu-yasha with questions.
Back in the kitchen . . .
"Kagome?" Yuka asks.
"Yes?" Kagome replies.
"When you go through the well and change the world, what will
happen here?" Yuka asks in a small, anxious voice.
"Nothing." Kagome replies quickly.
"But? I thought the well went to the past?"
"The well is a connection to another world, Yuka, not to the
past. That world is very similar to this world, but it is not
this world."
"SO, if, say, you prevent world war two from happening on the
other side of the well, Hiroshima will still happen here?" Eri
asks.
Kagome grimaces, but nods. "Yes. But, hopefully I can prevent
that from happening on the other side of the well."
"Good." All the girls chorus.
She sighs, "If I had used the acorn on this side of the well,
then I'd be trying to change this world, but."
"You can really feel the world?" Ayumi asks.
Kagome nods. "I can't really explain it, Ayumi. But, ever since
I've swallowed that acorn, I feel something. And it hurts
horribly on this side, but, it didn't hurt on the other."
"Which, since that side of the well is closer to nature, that
what's your feeling." Ayumi says.
Kagome nods. ‘I'm planning on asking the God tree, to make sure,
but, I'm sure that he'll say that I'm correct. It just feels
right.'
Eri frowns as she slowly says, "And the world on the other side
of the well, has magic and such, or at least more than on this
side."
"Yes." Kagome replies.
Eri looks at her friend. "I wonder, are there other changes?"
Kagome sighs. "I don't know, Eri. Before, I was always hesitant
to get too involved on that side of the well. I was afraid of
changing history."
The three girls nod, remembering one evening study session that
got highjacked, as the four of them start talking about time
travel and paradoxes . . .
"But, I did make that trip to Kyoto, and it appeared basically to
be what is in the history books. I double checked the names of
the people I meet, and I found most of them. The few I couldn't
find were either small potatoes or I could find people with
similar names. So, I don't think there will be that many
changes."
"Kagome?" Ayumi begins, "You know that I've always liked science
fiction, fantasy and such."
"Yes."
"Once you told us about the well, I started looking for and
reading novels about time travel and people going back and time
and making the world better. Do you want to read them?"
Kagome blinks, as she thinks. ‘I never would have thought about
that. Even if it is fiction, I might get some ideas.' She slowly
nods.
Ayumi smiles. "And, Kagome, I think you might need some history
books."
Kagome grins. "I already thought about that, Ayumi. I'll get
some. Knowing what happens in the future will help."
"What about how to make books?" Eri asks.
"Huh?"
"You've always complained about the lack of modern conveniences
on that side of the well, Kagome, so, bring some books that tell
you how to make things. So, you can make air conditioners, hot
and cold running water, bug spray, you know, that type of
things."
Kagome nods. "Good idea, Eri. I'll have to think about that, and
figure out what I need to take. I don't think that making an air
conditioner will be easy."
Eri giggles at that statement and nods.
Kagome places a finger to her lips as she thinks for a second. "I
think, every time we'll use the well, for now on, whoever goes
through needs to bring something, books or something else in a
backpack."
She grins at the thought of her backpack full of books. ‘Inu-
yasha or Sesshomaru will get a work out. Books are heavy.' She
thinks.
She sighs, heavily.
"Kagome?" Yuka asks. "What's wrong?"
"You know, guys, I had been assuming that since I'd be living on
the other side of the well, I wouldn't have to go to school."
Kagome sighs, again.
Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi look at each other and grin.
Yuka says, slyly, "And now, Kagome?"
"And now, it sounds like I'll have to study and learn, basically
go to school, on that side of the well."
Kagome's three friends giggle at the disgust in Kagome's voice.
Yuka clears her throat, "enough of that. I want to know how is
Sesshomaru in bed?" She asks once she's attracted everyone's
attention.
Kagome blushes. She looks around. All of her friends are staring
at her. "Well . . . first come closer so I can whisper it."
All four girls huddle in the middle of the kitchen, as Kagome
begins to describe, in romantic terms, what happened . . .
Elsewhere . . .
Up in Sota's room, Inu-yasha's ears twitch.
Sota, by this time, has pulled out his gameboy and he and Shippo
are huddled around it, as Sota is teaching Shippo how to play it.
‘Fuck.' Inu-yasha glares at Sota and Shippo. ‘They are too loud.
I can't hear everything.' He thinks.
He looks down at the floor, trying to imagine what the four girls
are talking about. ‘Damn it. How can I compare to Sesshomaru?' he
thinks. ‘He's fucking perfect, and I'm not. So, tonight, what
will happen?'
He grimaces, ‘she'll hate me. I can't match his bedroom skills.
He's had some of the best geisha's in japan teach him those
skills. Me? Low class whores, village girls and Kikyo. And Kikyo
just wanted me to lay there while she got on top. Hell, she never
even took off her kimono. All she did was sit on me, still
wearing all of her clothes. I never saw her breasts or her cunt.'
A low growl comes from deep in his throat, as he thinks, ‘And
the whores and village girls . . . Hell, the first few times, I
didn't know my own strength, and when I climaxed, it got bloody.'
He holds up his clawed hands as he remembers them covered in
blood. His tongue licks his lips and fangs, as he remembers the
taste of blood on them.
He closes his hand, making a fist. Blood begins to seep from his
palm. Shippo, smelling the blood, glances over, but seeing the
intense and angry look on inu-yasha's face, decides that paying
attention to Sota, is better than asking inu-yasha what he is
thinking about.
‘Bellybutton?' Inu-yasha thinks, ‘did I hear that correctly? His
bellybutton is ticklish?' he shakes his head. ‘She must have
meant something else.'
He sighs. ‘How can I make love to her? Fucking her is easy.
We've done that. But making love, especially gently?'
He nods, straightening up. ‘still, I've got to try. I love her.
I'm not going to use her like some whore. Think. Remember, all
those times sneaking around villages, stealing to live, but
stopping and listening, and looking as the villagers made love to
each other.'
His manhood begins to stir, as he remembers those days as he
learned the difference between a man and woman. ‘I hated Miroku's
pepping, because it reminded me of all those times, when that was
what I did.' He thinks, as he remembers those early jerk-off
sessions as he watched village couples make love.
‘Maybe, I can use some of the things that I saw then.' He thinks,
‘I tried them a couple of times, when I was younger, but. Now, I
know more, know I won't make the same mistakes.'
He bites his lips. ‘And Kagome understands me, and carries for
me, loves me, that should help. She's not some farmer's daughter
that is just laying there, eyes closed, tears falling, that her
father is bribing me with to leave his land. Since the farmer
would rather have me rape his daughter, than steal and eat some
of his chickens.'
‘I will not lose her. She is the only good thing in my life. I
will not screw it up. I will do whatever is needed to make sure
of that. I will make love to Kagome.' Inu-yasha thinks.
Under his breath, he whispers, "I will not hurt her. I will love
her. I will make her feel good."
His eyes glance at Shippo. Shippo is looking at him. Shippo's
mouth forms the words, ‘you'd better.'
Inu-yasha blushes, but nods.
Inu-yasha frowns, his ears twitch to Mrs. H's bedroom.
Sango and Miroku watch Mrs. H close the door behind her, as she
leaves the room, leaving them, alone in her room.
Sango and Miroku turn to look at each other, and their eyes lock.
Time passes.
"Sango."
"Miroku."
They say at the same time.
Miroku bows, "you first, my dear."
Sango snorts. "I was going to say, that I'm going to find Kagome
and see about having her show me how to use the washroom in this
wondrous house."
Miroku nods. "It is a wonder, is it."
Sango nods, as she reaches out to the light switch and flicks it
off/on a couple of times. "I don't think that I'll get used to
this. Light, fireless light, so easily."
Miroku looks around. "The more I learn, the more I admire
Kagome."
"Hmm?"
"She left all this for us." He sighs, "As a monk, I'm supposed to
live in as simply as possible, but, to be honest, I don't know if
I could have left this."
Sango blinks. "You really meant it." She whispers.
"Sango?"
"You just told me the truth." Sango replies. "You really meant it
when you said that you love me and want to marry me."
"Of course." Miroku replies.
They look into each other's eyes again.
"I was afraid." Sango whispers.
"So was I." Miroku whispers.
They hug each other, tightly. Miroku and Sango kiss. Their
hands, both sets, grip each other's buttocks and squeeze.
They break the kiss . . .
"Do you really want a bath?" Miroku whispers.
"After." Sango replies, kissing him, "we're going to make a mess,
anyway, so, I'll clean up later."
They fall onto Kagome's mother's bed.
Mrs. H, on the side of the door, smiles. ‘Anybody that disturbs
them, I will get mad at.' She thinks.
Author's note: I'm not planning on detailing Sango and Miroku's
love making. (There is a conversation, afterward, that I'll
cover, but, not the actual sex play, itself.)
The end of this chapter.
Authors' notes: I'm going to try to clean up a few things.
To begin: Inu-yasha's characterization and his thoughts about sex
in this chapter. One of the things that has been regularly
commented about my version of Inu-yasha is how rough/violent he
is.
So, while I have a full scale, history of him, that I want to
write, I'm going to give an outline/psych profile here, so you
can understand.
We know, from the manga/anime that he is six/seven or so when his
mother dies. We know that he has a reputation, one that is nasty
enough, that even after 50 years, he's still remembered.
My version.
He is left, alone to fend for himself, by Sesshomaru. In order to
live, he has to steal food from villages. While he is
stronger/faster than a normal kid, there are too many
animals/demons in the woods to live. Plus, he does become lonely,
and wants to be with people.
But . . . His looks (eyes, ears, etc) mean that he is never
accepted. He will be bullied, beat up, thrown out, sooner or
later from every village. (Or from any demons family that he
tries to befriend.)
So, as he ages, he responds to the villager's violence with more
violence. Random vandalism, thievery, assault, etc.
He does, at night, in the woods, hang around villages, samurai
encampments, etc. and he learns about honor/samurai culture,
etc., this way.
He wants to be better than the half-demon thug/bandit he has
become. He wants to be more like his older brother, Sesshomaru.
So, he tries to become a full demon. And, then, with Kikyo, he
sees a way to change his life. As a full human, then his past
vanishes, and as the mate of the miko kikyo, he can start to
become a samurai. The jewel is a win-win situation for him.
As far as, sex goes? Since inu-yasha is thug/bandit, with a nasty
rep . . . well. Love doesn't happen. Instead, whores, frightened
village girls, witches that want to use him (then kill him, etc.)
are the only women he knows between his mother's death and kikyo.
And, too prove his manhood, he will have sex. There is no,
if/and/buts about that. (He also kills to prove his manhood, BTW
. . . )
Did he take women against their will? Shrug. I am sorry, in my
version, yes. I'm sorry, but, I've read too many histories . . .
life was brutal.
For example. For a farmer, having a bandit rape, your daughter
was, at times, preferred to losing a couple of chickens. (The
girl will recover, the chickens, though, are lost forever . . . )
It was far cheaper to buy a new wife, then to buy a new ox. (Not
too mention, selling your daughter to become a whore/geisha, did
happen . . . ) Life was cheap . . .
next: Sesshomaru ate a pizza. And yet, earlier in Kagome where
are you, I had him refuse any human food. There are a few ways to
explain this.
One: I could say that during Kagome's & Sesshomaru, as yet, still
undetailed adventures in Kagome! Where are you!?, They found some
spell that allows him to eat human food.
Or, perhaps, during their journey, someone did activate the food-
bond, only to be killed . . . by Kagome so she could free
Sesshomaru of that domination . . . (and since the food-bond
only works, once, Sesshomaru, can now eat food, without problems
. . . )
Two: I could say that during Kagome's & Sesshomaru's sex play,
Sesshomaru has sucked on Kagome's breasts and he has drank her
milk. She, therefore, has feed him. And, since the food-bond only
occurs once, Sesshomaru can eat other food without difficulty.
(By the way, Blood and such, can be used as food. And, he has
licked up her blood . . . )
three: I could say that Sesshomaru went outside and threw up,
avoiding the bond that way.
four: I could say that it was a mistake on my part. Just ignore
those lines, and substitute some lines where Kagome makes up an
excuse, Inu-yasha sneers at it, and everyone shrugs. (Sesshomaru
is weird) and the night continues . . .
Whichever you chose to believe is up to you, the reader. At some
point in time, I'll explain it . . . but, sometimes, as in real
life, things happen without explanation . . .
Second: I've had a couple of reviewers mention a lack of ‘magic'
in this story, as compared to Kagome! Where are you?!
Kagome! Where are you?! Is a love story, as I match up
Kagome/Sesshomaru? Once, they made love. That story was over,
everything else, was getting them home.
Kagome's return, on the other hand, is a different type of story.
Given the canon inu-yasha series, I saw no reason to show the
growth of love between Kagome/Inu. I've assumed that it's there.
(The same with Shippo/kag. and Miroku/Sango, BTW)
So, the tension, between kag/sess. or kag/Inu isn't what's
driving this story. What is driving this story is the creation of
Kagome's extended family. So, I'm sorry if you wanted a huge
sexual tension-related story.
I could have caused Inu-yasha to throw his normal temper-tantrum.
(Or Shippo, for that matter) but, I wanted to show that they are
growing up.
So, instead of a huge blowup, I'm showing the minor details, that
would happen, as they try to be adults and try to live together,
instead of being teenagers that just react, without thinking.
It's a very different type of story, I know, which is why I
wanted to write it.
Thank you for reading

Inu-yasha sighs. He nods. He spins to walk away. He stops. He
spins back around.
He walks over to Kagome and kisses her on the cheek, right where
Sesshomaru kissed. "I love you."
Kagome purrs as she says, "Tonight. You sleep in my room."
Inu-yasha smiles, spins and walks away.
Kagome looks at Shippo. "You?" she asks.
Shippo sighs. "Where do I sleep?"
"With my mother or Sota, I think. What about we go inside and
find out?" Kagome smiles.
Shippo smiles, faintly.
They enter the house.
A few minutes later, Kagome's girl friends and Kagome start to
clean up the kitchen after the pizza party. (Kagome wants to
spend, at least, a few minutes semi-alone with her oldest
friends.)
Mrs. h pulled out several books on classical flower arraigning
and paintings for Rin. Who is sitting on the floor, a book across
her thighs, a piece of paper on the book and a pencil in her
mouth, as she is tracing and drawing.
Mrs. H, Miroku and Sango are in her room, getting it ready for
tonight.
Inu-yasha, Shippo and Sota are moving, the still, sleeping Kohaku
to Sota's room, to free it for Kagome and Inu-yasha. Sota, of
course, is taking this time to pepper Inu-yasha with questions.
Back in the kitchen . . .
"Kagome?" Yuka asks.
"Yes?" Kagome replies.
"When you go through the well and change the world, what will
happen here?" Yuka asks in a small, anxious voice.
"Nothing." Kagome replies quickly.
"But? I thought the well went to the past?"
"The well is a connection to another world, Yuka, not to the
past. That world is very similar to this world, but it is not
this world."
"SO, if, say, you prevent world war two from happening on the
other side of the well, Hiroshima will still happen here?" Eri
asks.
Kagome grimaces, but nods. "Yes. But, hopefully I can prevent
that from happening on the other side of the well."
"Good." All the girls chorus.
She sighs, "If I had used the acorn on this side of the well,
then I'd be trying to change this world, but."
"You can really feel the world?" Ayumi asks.
Kagome nods. "I can't really explain it, Ayumi. But, ever since
I've swallowed that acorn, I feel something. And it hurts
horribly on this side, but, it didn't hurt on the other."
"Which, since that side of the well is closer to nature, that
what's your feeling." Ayumi says.
Kagome nods. ‘I'm planning on asking the God tree, to make sure,
but, I'm sure that he'll say that I'm correct. It just feels

Eri frowns as she slowly says, "And the world on the other side

Eri giggles at that statement and nods.
Kagome places a finger to her lips as she thinks for a second. "I
think, every time we'll use the well, for now on, whoever goes
through needs to bring something, books or something else in a
backpack."
She grins at the thought of her backpack full of books. ‘Inu-
yasha or Sesshomaru will get a work out. Books are heavy.' She
thinks.
She sighs, heavily.
"Kagome?" Yuka asks. "What's wrong?"
"You know, guys, I had been assuming that since I'd be living on
the other side of the well, I wouldn't have to go to school."
Kagome sighs, again.

All four girls huddle in the middle of the kitchen, as Kagome

Elsewhere . . .
Up in Sota's room, Inu-yasha's ears twitch.
Sota, by this time, has pulled out his gameboy and he and Shippo

‘Fuck.' Inu-yasha glares at Sota and Shippo. ‘They are too loud.

intense and angry look on inu-yasha's face, decides that paying
attention to Sota, is better than asking inu-yasha what he is
thinking about.
‘Bellybutton?' Inu-yasha thinks, ‘did I hear that correctly? His
bellybutton is ticklish?' he shakes his head. ‘She must have
meant something else.'
He sighs. ‘How can I make love to her? Fucking her is easy.
We've done that. But making love, especially gently?'
He nods, straightening up. ‘still, I've got to try. I love her.
I'm not going to use her like some whore. Think. Remember, all

‘I will not lose her. She is the only good thing in my life. I

Under his breath, he whispers, "I will not hurt her. I will love

His eyes glance at Shippo. Shippo is looking at him. Shippo's
mouth forms the words, ‘you'd better.'
Inu-yasha blushes, but nods.
Inu-yasha frowns, his ears twitch to Mrs. H's bedroom.
Sango and Miroku watch Mrs. H close the door behind her, as she
leaves the room, leaving them, alone in her room.
Sango and Miroku turn to look at each other, and their eyes lock.
Time passes.
"Sango."
"Miroku."
They say at the same time.
Miroku bows, "you first, my dear."

Sango blinks. "You really meant it." She whispers.
"Sango?"
"You just told me the truth." Sango replies. "You really meant it
when you said that you love me and want to marry me."
"Of course." Miroku replies.
They look into each other's eyes again.
"I was afraid." Sango whispers.
"So was I." Miroku whispers.
They hug each other, tightly. Miroku and Sango kiss. Their
hands, both sets, grip each other's buttocks and squeeze.
They break the kiss . . .
"Do you really want a bath?" Miroku whispers.
"After." Sango replies, kissing him, "we're going to make a mess,
anyway, so, I'll clean up later."
They fall onto Kagome's mother's bed.
Mrs. H, on the side of the door, smiles. ‘Anybody that disturbs
them, I will get mad at.' She thinks.

enough, that even after 50 years, he's still remembered.
My version.
He is left, alone to fend for himself, by Sesshomaru. In order to
live, he has to steal food from villages. While he is
stronger/faster than a normal kid, there are too many
animals/demons in the woods to live. Plus, he does become lonely,
and wants to be with people.
But . . . His looks (eyes, ears, etc) mean that he is never
accepted. He will be bullied, beat up, thrown out, sooner or
later from every village. (Or from any demons family that he
tries to befriend.)
So, as he ages, he responds to the villager's violence with more
violence. Random vandalism, thievery, assault, etc.
He does, at night, in the woods, hang around villages, samurai
encampments, etc. and he learns about honor/samurai culture,
etc., this way.
He wants to be better than the half-demon thug/bandit he has
become. He wants to be more like his older brother, Sesshomaru.
So, he tries to become a full demon. And, then, with Kikyo, he
sees a way to change his life. As a full human, then his past
vanishes, and as the mate of the miko kikyo, he can start to
become a samurai. The jewel is a win-win situation for him.
As far as, sex goes? Since inu-yasha is thug/bandit, with a nasty
rep . . . well. Love doesn't happen. Instead, whores, frightened
village girls, witches that want to use him (then kill him, etc.)
are the only women he knows between his mother's death and kikyo.
And, too prove his manhood, he will have sex. There is no,
if/and/buts about that. (He also kills to prove his manhood, BTW
. . . )
Did he take women against their will? Shrug. I am sorry, in my
version, yes. I'm sorry, but, I've read too many histories . . .
life was brutal.
For example. For a farmer, having a bandit rape, your daughter
was, at times, preferred to losing a couple of chickens. (The
girl will recover, the chickens, though, are lost forever . . . )
It was far cheaper to buy a new wife, then to buy a new ox. (Not
too mention, selling your daughter to become a whore/geisha, did
happen . . . ) Life was cheap . . .
next: Sesshomaru ate a pizza. And yet, earlier in Kagome where
are you, I had him refuse any human food. There are a few ways to
explain this.
One: I could say that during Kagome's & Sesshomaru, as yet, still
undetailed adventures in Kagome! Where are you!?, They found some
spell that allows him to eat human food.
Or, perhaps, during their journey, someone did activate the food-
bond, only to be killed . . . by Kagome so she could free
Sesshomaru of that domination . . . (and since the food-bond
only works, once, Sesshomaru, can now eat food, without problems
. . . )
Two: I could say that during Kagome's & Sesshomaru's sex play,
Sesshomaru has sucked on Kagome's breasts and he has drank her
milk. She, therefore, has feed him. And, since the food-bond only
occurs once, Sesshomaru can eat other food without difficulty.
(By the way, Blood and such, can be used as food. And, he has
licked up her blood . . . )
three: I could say that Sesshomaru went outside and threw up,
avoiding the bond that way.
four: I could say that it was a mistake on my part. Just ignore
those lines, and substitute some lines where Kagome makes up an
excuse, Inu-yasha sneers at it, and everyone shrugs. (Sesshomaru
is weird) and the night continues . . .
Whichever you chose to believe is up to you, the reader. At some
point in time, I'll explain it . . . but, sometimes, as in real
life, things happen without explanation . . .
Second: I've had a couple of reviewers mention a lack of ‘magic'
in this story, as compared to Kagome! Where are you?!
Kagome! Where are you?! Is a love story, as I match up
Kagome/Sesshomaru? Once, they made love. That story was over,
everything else, was getting them home.
Kagome's return, on the other hand, is a different type of story.
Given the canon inu-yasha series, I saw no reason to show the
growth of love between Kagome/Inu. I've assumed that it's there.
(The same with Shippo/kag. and Miroku/Sango, BTW)
So, the tension, between kag/sess. or kag/Inu isn't what's
driving this story. What is driving this story is the creation of
Kagome's extended family. So, I'm sorry if you wanted a huge
sexual tension-related story.
I could have caused Inu-yasha to throw his normal temper-tantrum.
(Or Shippo, for that matter) but, I wanted to show that they are
growing up.
So, instead of a huge blowup, I'm showing the minor details, that
would happen, as they try to be adults and try to live together,
instead of being teenagers that just react, without thinking.
It's a very different type of story, I know, which is why I
wanted to write it.
Thank you for reading
