Chapter 7
kagome and her mother both looked confused " how did he come through the well?" kagome asked while turning her head to look at bankotsu.
" well lets all sit, have some snacks and figure out what is going on here."
kagome nodded her head to her mother and moved to sit at the table.
soon everyone was seated around the table waiting for someone to start.
shanking her head kagome asked " anyone have a clue as how bankotsu came through the well? I know why inuyahsa and sesshoumru can."
everyone was looking around the table no one seemed to know anything.
taking her time kagome looked from face to face till she landed on sesshouamru.'strange he seems upset'.
clinching his jaw sesshoumaru begain to speek " i can answer that, as you know my mother was a half demon" he paused and glared at inuyasha " My father loved my mother but she just wanted his power and when she figured out the old man was to nice to take over japan, years after i was born she left breaking the mating bond with my father via potion she soon became the lady of the black star tribe and bankotsus mother."
everyone gasped, kagome and her mother held unshed tears for the pain in sesshoumarus eyes.
Grandpa who had been listening at the door took it as his trun to enter. " you know." he spoke " there is a tale of a demon lord and his two half brothers the hanyo and the human."
Everyone even sesshouamru turned to look at the old man and he pulled up a chair and sat at the head of the table.
" go on grandpa what was this tale" kagome asked wanting to know where he was going with it.
all eyes were glued on the old man, he reached into his front pocket and pulled out what looked like sutra's kagome and her mothers eyes widend. with speed that an old man should not have he place sutras on inuyasha sesshoumaru and bankotsu's heads. "DEMONS BE GONE."
the three "demons" stared at the old man in shock. inuyahsa started pilling off his sutra " your lucky it didnt get in my hair this time old man" bankotsu and sesshoumaru both took inuyashas que and pulled off there sutras.
grandpa cleared his throught " well back to the story" he let out a nervous laugh before turning serious.
" as i was saying, the three brothers hated each other each wantting what the other had a sword a girl and pure blood. there fight soon became over one item. each slowly fell to there dark desires to have this one item that was taken away from them it was stolen by a angel the angel loved this item. the three brothers worked hard on there own but soon found out they would have to work together to get it back. the item the angel took was his own down fall and he was killed, powers stripped and bistowed to another."
" so what was the item the sword?" kagome asked not being able to handle not knowing.
grandpa shrugged his sholders " it was never made known what they wanted the most."
"well that just sucks, if this is about us my sword could get taken" inuyasha said while placing a protective hand on his beloved sword. while glaring at sesshoumaru.
"WHAT ABOUT ME YOU JERK!!" kagome yelled face truning red from anger.
inuyasha's ears flattend. " like an angle would want you" he said so low that kagome couldnt hear him.
" what was that" kagome said. she waited tapping her foot for his reply but never got one.
" kagome dear" her mother said
"yes momma"
" we need to get on with this now what other questions are there."
this time inuyasha spoke " how do yall know sesshoumaru."
kagomes mom took to answering his question.
" as you know im the lady to shikon tribe and mindrakos child, yours and sesshoumarus father was a respected lord and our tribe worked for him in a way. when he came he always had sesshouamru at his side. sesshoumaru became like a big brother to kagome oh she was so little then, the day that kagome broke his nose he stood by her side he would watch as kagome and bankotsu play there silly little games." she let out a sigh as she rembered her little woman as a little girl.
inuyahsa sat there and dumbly nodded his head not knowing what to say in a way he was glad that he protected her but in another mad that he protected her.
bankotsu who had been quiet the whole time was lost in the old mans stroy ' so inuyahsa wants to be a full demon, sesshoumaru wants inuyahsa's sword and i want kagome. we all want these "items" for power and at the end we all want the same thing' bankotsu was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of a sliding chair.
kagome stood up, her eyes held a hard glint. " all well i know who my three guest are" she looked to sesshouamru bankotsu and inuyahsa. " also the jewl is mine and full once again i have my wish and im going to use it tonight." the only noise that could be heard was the sink's drip " you three" she pointed at each boy " need to go back through the well and kill naraku once and for all take sango and miroku with you send shippo here he will be safe."
inuyahsa looked at kagome " how am i too send shippo?"
kagome smiled at him " well just throw him in the well, they day the wolfs attacked him i made sure he could get to me by putting some of his blood in the well. oh what am i saying dont throw him inuyasha place him in the well"
inuyahsa humphed and crossed him arms over his chest.
bankotsu stood up " why will you not be joining us to kill naraku?"
kagome held a small smile. " i will be fighting my own battle with the jewl the faster its gone the sooner our worlds will be in peace."
he nodded his head. kagomes mother wrapped her arms around kagome knowing what she planned to do with the jewl, mentally telling her to be safe.
sesshouamru stood followed by inuyahsa bankotsu moved to where he was standing with them. kagomes mother let go of her only girl. kagome smiled to the three men know what the look in there eyes were, they all hated naraku they all wished him dead. the one thing that could bring three people that hated on another was the one person all hated.
" the enemy of my enemy is my friend." kagome said while looked at them all
in union they all nodded there heads inuyahsa steped towards kagome " can i talk to you alone" he asked while messing with the bottom of his shirt.
kagome nodded her head and the two headed to her room, once in inuyasha shut the door, and motioned for her to sit.
" kagome just listen okay dont say anything this might be the last time i ever see you and i have to let you what i feel and think about you, after all i put you through you stuck around and stayed by my side. What really hurt me was that i broke your heart going to kikyo. Your a good person and i had no right. I really want to make things right cause with out you in my life im lonely. kikyo never made me feel like i belonged and you do. I know your not her and i thank the kamis everyday. I'm not in love with kikyo but i do love her because once she was my firend and i promised to protect her, i know now the dead woman that walks is not kikyo, its not ever her soul thats in her its yours. so she is a copy of you." inuyahsa finished his speach and let out a sigh.
kagome sat on her bed tears in her eyes. her heart filling with so many emotions. "do you really mean that inuyasha"
still looking at the floor he nodded his head " yes, kagome your my best friend"
her heart sunk at those words ' he thinks of me as a friend, i though he was telling me he loved me he knows i love him but is he just telling me to be his friend or something else' " inuyahsa i have to know if the real kikyo came back fully alive would you still be with her?"
he stood there stuned " kagome.. i .... i dont know" he answered what he truly felt. " kagome i wont lie i feel so many difrent things and still trying to figure them out."
at that kagome wiped her tears away and smiled " thats all i will ask of you, you always will have a place in my heart inuyasha."
he looked up at those words and saw her smiling he smiled back. ' please wait on me, i think i love you but i want to know for sure before i tell you'
kagome stood ' i still have a chance' she walked to the door inuyahsa was standing in front of. " come on we both got our demons to kill"
once they were down stares the three fighters took off down the well kagome sat at the table with her mother waiting for shippo. sota was in the well house waiting for the glow so he could bring the kit into the house.
"kagome you know if they come back before your finished they will surely well freak."
kagome laughed at her mother " yes seeing me like that they will, how long can you hold the barrier up around my room?
" a month maybe two, how long do you plan to be gone?"
kagome let out a sigh and dropped her head to the table. " im not sure, time in there might be longer than out here or the other way around. i could be gone for seconds here and in there it would feel like years."
kagomes mom nodded in understanding.
"momma" shippo yelled as he attached him self on to her sholders.
" it was scary going through the well and then not seeing you on the other side but sota was really nice and he said he was going to show me video games i dont know what that is but i really wanna play."
kagome and her mother let out laughs at the little kit. Reaching behind her kagome removed the kit from her sholders and placed him on the table while sitting up and removing her fourhead from the table.
" are you mommas momma?" the kit asked
kagomes mother let out a slight laugh " yes shippo and that makes me your grandma and sota your uncle."
shippos eyes lit up'wow i have a grandma and uncle now'
kagome smiled at her kit. " shippo your going to have to stay with uncle sota and grandma" kagome snikered a bit " for a bit i have something very important to do and i can take you with me okay?"
the kit looked to his momma " why not?"
" i cant let you get hurt, plus grandma has lots of candy and sota has lots of games he can show you."
the kits eyes lit up so much they looked like they might pop out of his head.
"shippo" kagomes mom said
he looked to her, seeing as she got his attition she spoke " were going to have to make you look human while your in this time will that be okay?"
he nodded his head yes
"okay then" kagomes mom pulled out a watch " hold out your arm please" he did and she placed the watch on his wrist. The instant the clasped it shippos tail and fox legs vanished. he now had normal human legs.
"wow, how did you do that?"
"grandma has been working on it for awhile shippo, she made it just for you and used an illuson spell."
" hey shippo you wanna play?" sota asked while walking into the kitchen.
"can i momma"
"yes dear but give me a hug i have to leave soon"
he moved to her and gave her a hug " i love you momma"
" i love you too baby"
with that he left with sota to play.
"how will inuyahsa take it when your soul is take back from kikyo?"
" we actually kinda talked about that, he knows that, that kikyo isnt the real one and i think he will be fine with it."
kagomes mother looked at her. " you do know your not the only that can do this right" she said hoping she would let her go insted
" i know momma, but i wont be able to live with myself if you got hurt .. or never came back. plus i was the one born with the jewl in me that had to be for a reason"
her mom let out a sigh while lowering her head. " i know dear"
kagome stood up and walked over to her mom. " i love you but i have to do this"
" i love you too, see you soon" 'i hope'.
with that kagome made her way into her room. she layed down on her bed placing the jewl in both her hands over her heart. ' here goes nothing' gathering all her energy she pushed her soul into the jewl.
kagome's mother walked into her room, there on the bed layed a stone kagome with a hole where her heart should be. a trear excaped her eye. "please be safe my child"
kagome and her mother both looked confused " how did he come through the well?" kagome asked while turning her head to look at bankotsu.
" well lets all sit, have some snacks and figure out what is going on here."
kagome nodded her head to her mother and moved to sit at the table.
