InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Protecting Home ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

Thank you to Alataro for letting me know that I had a filter on my reviews. Sorry guys I'm still new and didn't realize it was there. So I finally figured out how to take it off and now anyone can review. I hope you do. Anyway as usual I don't own anything.

 

Chapter 6

 

`Ugh, I can't believe how much studying I have tonight. It makes me wonder why I chose to get another degree.' Kagome was now in her third year of college earning her botanist degree so that she could keep up to date on all of the plants she uses for herbal remedies. She had been reunited with her family several months ago finally able to see them now that her past self would no longer be able to return. Her mother had been speechless as she explained everything that had happened and how she became not only immortal, but Inuyasha's mate as well. Of course Souta was excited while ji-chan passed out from shock. She was drawn from her thoughts when a hand was placed on her shoulder and someone softly calling her name. As she turned around she was faced with a handsome man with crimson hair and eyes of forest green that often reminded of her own kit. The fact that he was also a kitsune did not go unnoticed by her either so she had always hidden her aura and power. It wouldn't do to have a youkai know who she was. “Hello, Suichi what can I do for you?”

 

Suichi Minnamino, also known as Kurama to his friends watched as she smiled deep in thought. He had always been surprised by her knowledge of plants and was even more intrigued when he found out she had her own natural herbal company. The kitsune spirit he shared his body with always theorized that she had to know a kitsune to be that in tuned with nature or to have that much knowledge. Youko was once a legendary bandit that was killed during a heist, but instead of his soul going to spirit world he found himself a host in ningenkai to regain his strength. In doing so he fused himself with Suichi while his mother was still in the beginning stages of pregnancy. At times he found himself drawn to Kagome Taisho because she was one of the very few women that didn't beg for his attentions and sometimes she had a faint scent that always caught his attention and Youko's as well. He smiled at her charmingly, “would you allow me to walk you to the parking lot?”

 

Kagome just giggled while grabbing her bag, ”in other words you need protection from your stalkers as usual.” She laughed even harder at his dejected look, “come on Suichi lets go.” They walked through the halls with the young women and men looking at them with either envy or jealousy. Although it was not unusual to see them walk the halls together everyone also knew they were only friends. After finally making it t the front doors with only a few women following Kurama sighed in relief. Making Kagome laugh at his misfortune as the walked to their cars.

 

“I'm glad you find my situation amusing Kagome.” He turned at hearing his name called and found three other men walking towards them.

 

“Hey Suichi can you give us a ride?”

 

“Hello Yusuke, where are you headed?”

 

“Anywhere that has food we're starved.” He then noticed a woman standing there watching them with curiosity. “Who's the girl?”

 

“This is Kagome. Kagome this is Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara and Hiei Jaganshi. She is in my botany class.”

 

Kagome analyzed the aura's of the newcomers and found that two of them were youkai and one had a high spiritual power. Yusuke was dressed in jeans with a white t-shirt. He had gelled back black hair and deep brown eyes that had seen more than someone his age should have. Kazuma was tall with an Elvis style red hair and black eyes. He was dressed in blue jeans with a blue t-shirt. Hiei was shorter than she was with gravity defying black hair with a white starburst. `Interesting he is both a fire and ice youkai. Isn't that forbidden? It doesn't matter either way he is very powerful and so is Yusuke. “Hello, it's nice to meet you all.” Looking down at her watch she realized how late it was getting. “I really have to go Suichi, Inuyasha will be home soon and my sister will be coming over for dinner.”

 

“Of course Kagome. Thank you for allowing me to walk you to your car.”

 

“It's no problem Suichi. Besides who else would protect you from your crazed stalkers.” She turned to his friend and smiled, “it was really nice meeting you all, but I've got to run.”

 

Yusuke was grinning as he leaned against the car. “You never told us you had such a cute friend.”

 

“She is merely a classmate.”

 

“Yeah, anyway lets get something to eat.” They all gathered into the car heading for the nearest fast food restaurant.

 

Kagome raced home to prepare dinner. As she was cooking a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist startling her. “Inuyasha don't scare me like that.”

 

He just laughed as he kissed her, “sorry mate. I just couldn't resist.”

 

“Yeah right,” she glared half-heartedly.

 

“Are you up to your tricks already, Inuyasha?” They turned to see Selena standing in the doorway smiling. “It smells great Kagome is there anything that I can help with?”

 

“No thanks. I've just about got it,” said Kagome while giving her sister a hug. “I'm so glad you could make it.”

 

“Do you honestly think that I would miss visiting you? I may not get here that often, but it doesn't mean I don't miss you guys. Besides someone has to keep a watch on things in Makai.” They sat down to eat and talk. Eventually the conversation turned to Naraku. “Kagome have you had any visions or felt him in any way?”

 

“Yes, I have felt him. He's not close yet, but he is slowly growing closer.. I have already placed a barrier around the shrine that will keep anyone with harmful intentions out. When the time comes though I would like my family to be moved to a safer place.” She sighed and looked to her friend. “Selena, I would like my family to stay with you and Nara in Makai. I know they will be well protected there and it's the last place he would search for them.”

 

Deep sapphire eyes narrowed slightly. “Your family is always welcome in my home you know that, but if you think that I'm staying out of this fight your wrong.”

 

“I know you've told me many times. I believe it's time though to increase our training.”

 

“Do you think he'll offer himself to the demons once more?” asked Inuyasha.

 

“I don't know what he'll do. All I know is that he'll be dangerous. How he knows to even look for me is a mystery. I mean think about it. I'm Kikyo's reincarnation but have none of her memories. So what's making him remember?”

 

“It's not going to matter Kagome we'll handle it when the time comes. You are right though we'll need to be ready so I'm going to get a few things in order and I'll be back in a week. I have a few things I've been working on that will help.” She stood giving them both a friendly hug before leaving to take care of her business.

 

“Ya know every time she says she's been working on something new it makes me want to run the other way.”

 

Kagome started laughing, “oh come on Inuyasha you haven't like her experiments ever since you got caught by that man eating plant.”

 

“Man eating my ass,” he grumbled. “She designed it specifically to eat certain types of demons especially those with silver hair and ears.”

 

That did it and couldn't control her laughter anymore. “You couldn't blame her at the time Youko was driving her insane with him trying to follow her and leaving his own plants around to find her den. At least she trained them to capture first and eat after she gave them permission. Besides it was funny to se you completely wrapped up by a plant.”

 

“You're not helping Kagome and I've learned to steer clear of that crazy vixen's experiments.”

 

“Oh come on not all of them were bad. She has the best herbs and specialty plants around besides Jeningi. Even Sesshomaru uses them to protect the palace in Makai.” Kagome knew she had won her argument and smiled. “Her intentions are good ones mate and are meant to protect the ones she loves. They protected all of our pups well and still do. Now it's getting late and I have an early class tomorrow and meetings in the afternoon.” She was walking up the stairs to their bedroom when she was grabbed and thrown over a shoulder screaming in surprise.

 

Inuyasha had watched his mate leave the room before grinning evilly. `If she thinks that she's going to sleep than she's definitely wrong.' He gave her another minute before surprising her by throwing her over his shoulder and walking to their bedroom. Once they were there he tossed her on the bed grinning. “I hope you weren't planning on sleeping anytime soon mate because I promised myself I'd hear you screaming all night.” True to his word Kagome got very little sleep that night.
