InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Mistakes ❯ chapter four ( Chapter 4 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Kagome woke up the next day and walked to the guest room to see Sesshoumaru and Rin still asleep. She smiled `Those two deserve some rest. I bet by now Sesshoumaru would already be working hard for people who can't appreciate the work he does.' Kagome shut the door and walked down stairs to see her grandfather on his way up, Kaogme blocked his way.
“Grandpa, why are you going upstairs?” Kagome asked worried he sensed Sesshoumaru was there.
“There is a demon up there,” the grandfather answered and tried to get around Kagome. Kaogme still blocked her grandfather's path. “Get out of the way Kagome,” her grandfather said still trying to get around Kagome.
“You've had something to do with this don't you?” Kagome's mother asked. Kagome meekly nodded.
“Cool! Did the demon force you to bring him here?” Souta asked all excited.
“No! I brought him here on my own free will,” Kaogme answered.
“You let a demon in?!” the grandfather was now trying desperately to get around Kagome.
“They would have killed him!” Kaogme knew that was a mistake the moment she said it.
“You've brought a condemned demon into this house?!” Kagomes mother was in shock. All were now trying to get past kagome. Soon all Kagome could do was let her family past. All rushed to the guest room to see Sesshoumaru just starting to get up. He stopped when he saw everyone in the doorway. Rin woke up and stood up in the bed. Sesshoumaru blinked a few times to wake fully and saw Kagome's grandfather and his eyes narrowed. The grandfather ready some spell scrolls.
“You!” Sesshoumaru was up and had launched himself at Kagome's grandfather. The grandfather pulled out the spell scrolls and threw them at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru maneuvered them gracefully in the air.
“Sesshoumaru! Don't attack him please!” Kagome begged. Sesshoumaru tilted and he rolled onto the floor and stoop up. All stared at kagome.
“This demon listens to you?!” Kagome's grandfather finally managed to get out. Sesshoumaru growled at Kagomes grandfather.
“Why do you hate my grandfather?” Kagome asked.
“He's the one who killed Inuyasha and you're protecting him!” Sesshoumaru answered his voice once more icy.
Kagome turned to her grandfather, “you killed Inuyasha?! How could you!” Kagome ran off before her grandfather could answer. Kagome's family ran after her. Kaogme ran into her room and slammed her door shut. The grandfather stood outside Kagome's room for a second before knocking on her door. “Why? Why did you kill him?” Kagome sobbed after her grandfather opened the door.
“I was just doing my job, and how did you know about Inuyasha?” her grandfather asked. All were in Kagome's room except for Sesshoumaru and Rin who were outside neither needed to hear this. Kagome explained the alternate world and the wish she made.
“So you used to travel back and forth through the old well to Feudal Japan where you traveled with this Inuyasha guy?” Souta asked. Kagome nodded. “And Sesshoumaru was trying to kill Inuyasha?” Souta asked. Once more Kagome nodded. “Cool,” Souta said then left.
All were now downstairs eating breakfast. Sesshoumaru and Kagome's grandfather glaring death on opposite sides of the table while eating pancakes. Rin was eating her as fast as she could.
“I see you let that child go hungry much demon,” Kagome's grandfather said while eating breakfast.
“I do what I can with I got human,” Sesshoumaru answered calmly and he finished eating.
“You should address me with more respect!” Kagome's grandfather ordered.
Sesshoumaru stood up and the table shook at the sudden abruptness Sesshoumaru stood up, “A creature such as you should know where a demons patience ends!”
“Are you threatening me?!” the grandfather stood up and readied scrolls.
“Grandpa! Sesshoumaru! Can't you both behave in each others presence?” Kagome asked. Both Sesshoumaru and the grandfather sat back down. `I still find it hard to believe that Sesshoumaru is here and not Inuyasha. I wish I never made that stupid wish!' Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru. “Did Inuyasha ever talk about me?” Kagome asked her pain showed through.
“He dreamt about you but whether he remembered you I know not,” Sesshoumaru answered. Kagome looked down.
“That wish has caused nothing but trouble,” Kagome muttered. No one could say anything to that. The wish had caused all this trouble.
“That is not fully true. Inuyasha never suffered the pain of his mother dying, our father died of old age, Naraku never existed, Miroku never knew about the wind tunnel, Sango and Kohaku lived normal lives, and Miroku and Sango later got married. The wish has only caused problems for the demons,” Sesshoumaru said. Kagome thought on that.
“That's true. But still, you and Shippo are slaves,” Kagome said.
“We have lived our lives as such, have no pity or sorrow for our kind we have survived centuries and will continue to do so,” Sesshoumaru said. Kagome nodded slowly but still felt sad.
“Do you think you can take me to see Shippo?” Kagome asked hopefully.
“I see no reason not to,” Sesshoumaru answered.
Kagome walked beside Sesshoumaru down the busy streets. They came to a park.
“Why are we here? I see no demons,” kagome asked. Sesshoumaru took her hand and she saw all the demons.
“Here is where the demons stay when they can't work,” Sesshoumaru stepped into the park. All the demons turned to them. “I am looking for the fox demon Shippo,” Sesshoumaru said with much authority. Shippo walked over and saw Kagome.
“Do you remember me Shippo?” Kagome asked hopefully. Shippo squinted at kagome then they widened.
“Kagome!” he ran over and held her tight.
“Shippo, I can't breathe.” Kagome got out.
“Oh, sorry,” Shippo let go. Kagome looked at Shippo and saw he looked like any normal teenager, no older than 16 but that of course is in demon years. He was wearing shorts and had his hair up as usually but that was it. This summer was too hot to have anything else on. Shippo looked hesitantly at Sesshoumaru as the memories came back.
“That's enough Shippo, you know that now I would not be able to harm you,” Sesshoumaru leaned against a tree with his arms crossed. Shippo nodded and Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and Shippo oddly.
“Why wouldn't Sesshoumaru hurt you?” Kagome asked.
“After my parents died, I came across Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and they let me stay with them,” Shippo answered.
“I'm so sorry for making that wish Shippo,” Kagome looked down.
“Don't me Kagome. Sure our lives hadn't been easy but I prefer this over my other life. Inuyasha always hit me and you always had to sit him and Sango was always hitting Miroku because Miroku was always being a lecher,” Shippo smiled. Kagome still felt bad.
“We must be off before the humans find this opening,” Sesshoumaru commented. Kagome and Shippo nodded and the three of them made their way back to Kagome's house.
No demon can say not doing work forever so Sesshoumaru and Shippo started to work on fixing the roof. Inside Kagome's family talked about Kagome bringing demons home. `I guess for now this will have to do until I can figure out a way to give demons freedom' Kagome thought.
