InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Something Has To Be Done ❯ Kagome's Return ( Chapter 2 )

AN: Hey everybody! I know your all shocked that I'm back so I had better explain... Well you see I made a bit of a mistake... See three weeks wasn't how long we'd be gone... it's how long my mom has off work...^^ oops! {sees everyone's blank stares and sweatdrops} heh heh....

Disclaimmer: YES! I DO OWN INUYASHA....{sigh} in my dreams I do anyway.... {dream lawyers come} AWW COME ON!!! Fine! I don't own Inuyasha in my dreams or in reality!!!!! But as soon as I win the lottery he WILL be mine!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Anyway in a review someone mentioned how in the little ending 'rant' Inuyasha acted protective over clay pot and why that was since this is an Inu/Kag fic. Well you see I'm trying to keep him as in character as possible at all times.... and since technically at the moment in my fic he's pissed that Kagome left he would most likely prefer Kikyo at the moment. Though there's no way he'd go to hell with her 'cause I wont let him and that would pretty much ruin the fic now wouldn't it?Oh! And before I forget here's something you need to know:

Kagome is 18 in this fic. She travelled with Inu and co. for two years then the year in her time ok?

Ok! Anyway, my usual before fic rant will start as soon as Inu get's here and starts insulting my writing..... Which will be in 5...4...3...2.........1.

{Inu walks in}

Inu: Hey bitch still writing this crap?

Me: {glares}Call me that again and I'll make you kiss your brother.

Sess: O.O Inuyasha... I'd hate to lower myself to this level but..... {drops to knees} PLEASE!! PLEASE DON'T PISS HER OFF!!!!!!

Me: ^_^

Inu: O.O Ok! Ok! I wont call you a bitch anymore.... sheesh no need to take it THAT seriously...

Me: ^_^

Inu: {mutters} stupid wench....

Me: KONO BAKA AITSU HENTAI YARO MESUINU KETSUNOANA ANA YARIMAN

INU-KUSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inu: O.O wow... Where'd you learn that?

Me: ^^ Internet! It can teach you just about anything these days!!!!!

Kag: Well almost anything... I don't think it's possible to teach Inuyasha common sense no matter who the teacher is. Nor could he be taught manners, integrity or honor!!!

Inu: HEY!!!! How the hell would you know?!?!

Kag: {rolls eyes} Oh... I dunno.... maybe the fact that I had to travel with you for over two years?!?!?!

Inu: Feh!

Me: {puts a 1 under a column titled: Kagome and a 0 under another column titled: Inuyasha}

Inu: What the hell is that for?!?!

Me: To keep track of who wins your arguments. At the end of the fic I'm going to tally them up and the winner get's a prize!!!! ^_^

Inu and Kag: -_-0

Kag: Well... aren't you.... cheerful.....

Me: Yup! ^_^ Anyway we had better get to the fic now my readers await!!!!

Inu: What readers? Who'd read this piece of crap?

Me: Piece of crap? So your saying that a fic where you seem to like Kikyo better and don't belive that she hurt Kagome because your blinded by a one-sided love... is a piece of crap? So what are you saying? That a fic where you chose Kikyo over Kagome (( only for now ppl! Only for now!!)) is a piece of crap? Are you trying to tell us something? Hmmm?

Inu:O.O uhhh...... I... um..er......<.< >.>

Me:{smirk} Anyway! Now that that's settled!! On with the fic!!!!!!!

Chapter 2

Kagome's Return

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The days flew by and before Kagome knew it, Sesshomaru had told her to meet him when she awoke the next morning in the field for a final bit of training before she left.

Rin had grown extreamly fond of Kagome and vise-versa over the few short weeks she had been there, and both were dreading the day when Kagome would have to leave and had spent as much time together as possible, only parting for Kagome training and for sleep.

In her training Kagome had excelled faster then both her and Sesshomaru had expected and they had had enough time left over for some training with swords and other weapons. Though he had not voiced his opinion Kagome knew that Sesshomaru was vert impressed with how easily she wielded her sword by the slightly surprised look on his face when she had used the sword as if she had been using it for years. But she had merely shrugged it off saying that after so much time spent around someone as blade-happy as Inuyasha (dog-boy and she had dubbed him) she couldn't help but learn something

Their brother/sister relationship had grown quite a bit since she had arrived. Especially considering that upon her arrival he had tried to kill her..... (which to the surprise of all he had apologised for though many think it was only for Rin's benefit) But the day of her leaving was upon her at last.

Kagome awoke the day she was meant to leave in a sullen mood. She would miss Rin and Jaken a lot.... Hell she'd even miss Jaken... or more like she'd miss making his life a living hell. Slowly, she got up and walked to her closet. Sesshomaru had told her that the servants would pack her things up after she had left the room. After a week or so of training in the suit she had used the first day and others like it she had started to train in her usual cclothes so that she would become used to it.

After a few minutes of rifling through her belongings she selected her favorite pair of denim

hip-huggers and a red tee-shirt with an arrow pointing up with the caption 'Hey my face is up here.' below it in white with glitter around the letters. She had used a spell she had learned to make them, along with the rest of her wardrobe, flexible and as stronger then anything made from fire-fat fur could ever dream to be.

After putting the clothes on she gave herself a once over in the mirror located beside the closet and, with a nod of approval, walked once again off the balcony rail as she did every day and landed smoothly on the ground.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

'Wow.' Kagome thought to herself. 'I'm really leaving.....' She was currently standing in front of the gates, her pack on her back (hey that rhymes!!!!!!^^) all loaded and ready to go.

"You know that should my idiot of a brother not smarten up that you will always have a home here Kagome." Sesshomaru said, emotionless as ever. Though Kagome could see right through his act as always.

"Yeah I know. But don't worry. If dog-boy messes up I'll just kick his ass.... God knows he deserves it."

"Indeed." With that he turned and began to walk back to the palace/mansion. "Farewell."

"Bye!!!!!" Kagome called turning around and beginning her journey back to Kaede's village.

Soon the mansion was out of site and Kagome picked up her speed a bit. Soon she was full out running and jumping, bounding and leaping, on her way to see her friends, the idiot and the over-sized dirt clod ((that 1 was from Culebra!!! Thanks!!!!)). This time she didn't bother to mask her scent and allowed anything in the area to smell and sense her presence.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

"ARGH!!!!" Kagome yelled frustrated. "Jeeze... You'd think they'd learn.... " Kicking the corpse of yet another one of the demons who had attacked her, obviously after the shard of the jewel that she had kept. She had given the others to Sango for safe-keeping before she left but had kept one so that, should the need arise, she could return to the past. She'd told Sango about the shard she'd kept and told her that when the rest of the jewel shards were collected and should she have not returned to then, and only then, tell Inuyasha about it just to rub it in his face.

So far over two dozen had come after her, but they all met the same fate. Though it was nothing to be proud of considering they were all so weak that even Shippo could defeat them easily.

Once again for who-knows-how-many time she began running again, senses on high-alert and ready for any up-coming danger.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

'Kagome?!' Inuyasha thought suddenly, bolting upright on the tree branch that he was perched upon. He could have sworn her scent was coming towards the village... But it was coming to fast to be her.... And it was the scent of a... a demon?!?! "Oi! Sango! Miroku! Demon headed this way!" He didn't call Kikyo since he knew that she was out picking herbs with Kaede and wouldn't hear him anyway.

They were there almost instantly. Though Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara ignored him constantly ever since Kagome had left and had not gone shard hunting once, when it came to protecting the village they always came running.

"A demon you say? Well let us make haste!!" Miroku said before jumping on Kirara's back behind Sango , who was holding Shippo who seemed awfully eager to go too.....

"Right! Go Kirara!!" With that Kirara jumped into the air in hot pursuit of Inuyasha who was running ahead already. When they finally caught up with him, they found him starring openly, jaw practically hanging on the ground, at a female hanyou standing on the other side of a clearing.

Rolling her eyes at everyone's starring at her she said loudly so they could all hear. "Is this the welcome I get when I come back? You can't tell me you've forgotten me over the course of a single year!!!"

"I don't know who the hell you are but there's no way in hell I'm letting you get the jewel shards bitch!!!" Inuyasha spat out, glaring at her and drawing Tetsusaiga.... but it didn't transform. "What the hell!!!!!"

"Awwww! Tetsusaiga!!! You remember me? How sweet!" The hanyou said laughing slightly. Seeing Sango and Miroku's defensive positions she sighed. "Honestly... some people.... Look! I come in peace okay?"

Having apparently decided she harmless Miroku jumped from Kirara's back and quickly made his way to the girl, but before he could even start his 'routine' she said, "No I will not bear your child Miroku. You asked me that three years ago when we first met and I said no then and my answer hasn't changed."

At everyone's obvious surprise she simply sighed. "Jeeze... I would have thought that at least Shippo would have recognised me...."

Nervously, Shippo poked his head out from behind Kirara and gently sniffed the air. After a moment his eyes lit up with shock and joy. "KAGOME!!!!!" With that the small kit leapt out from behind Kirara and jumped into Kagome's arms.

"K-Kagome....?" Sango asked, questioningly. At Kagome's nod she too ran at the girl and enveloped her and the kit in a bone-crushing hug, soon followed by Miroku.

"Oh! It's so good to be back!!! I've missed you guys soooo much!!!!"Kagome exclaimed hugging them back though careful not to squeeze to hard.

During this exchange Inuyasha simply stood there, his mouth hanging open, eyes wide with shock. 'Kagome? You came back? What happened..... Your a hanyou now...aren't you?'

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

After Kagome had explained how she had been turned demonic (minus Fluffy and how the shrine burnt down) and about her training with Sesshomaru (which brought out a growl from Inuyasha which had abruptly stopped when Kagome had stated that he had better be careful because she now knew what he was saying), and of course a few 'sits' to prove who she was, they walked back to the village while Kagome and Sango caught up on old times and asked what each had missed while she had been gone.

"So.... What really happened when you got back that night?" Sango asked.

"Huh? W-what do you mean?" Kagome replied slightly nervous.

"I know that your hiding something Kagome.... I know you better then that. There's something your not telling us."

"{sigh} I'll tell you at our next visit to a hot spring all right?"Kagome said her eyes downcast. "I don't want to tell the others.... especially Shippo... he wouldn't be ready for what really happened."

"WHAT is SHE doing here?!?!" The question had come from none other then Kikyo (( {cough} BITCH!!! {cough})), who was standing directly in their path a basket of herbs in hand and a glare evident on her face.

"Yo clay pot! What's up?" Kagome replied a smirk not so unlike Inuyasha's on her face. Demonic senses kicking in, she heard Kikyo seething with anger, Sango, Miroku and Shippo snickering and Inuyasha doing nothing as usual.

"Excuse me?" Kikyo shot back, as if unbelieving that her 'innocent' reincarnation had the nerve to say such a thing.

"What? Don't you hear good? Or do you have a dirt clod stuck in your ear and a stick up your ass? Oh wait... that happens every day doesn't it?" Much to the surprise of all Kagome said all this as if it were an innocent question and not an insult. They had never known her to snap at someone like that.

Not able to hold it in anymore, Sango Miroku and Shippo, having never liked Kikyo at all, burst out laughing and were soon rolling on the ground simply from the look on Kikyo's face.

"I thought you were gone for good." Kikyo ground out through clenched teeth.

"Nope. I only left to do some training so I would have to worry about you strangling me in my sleep. After all chances are my friends would be asleep as well and the dumb-ass would just sit and watch." She said, jerking her thumb in Inuyasha's direction at the words 'dumb-ass.' "I have decency and honor and I finish what I start. Therefore I'm back to finish the shard hunt and I wont be leaving afterwards."

"And why not?"Kikyo demanded, clearly the young girl was getting to her. No one had ever seen her that angry before.

Rolling her eyes and waving her clawed fingers, Kagome replied. "Well though I DO have a concealing spell I could use, I don't think I want to chance anyone in my time finding out about my.... condition. It might cause a panic were anyone to find out that demons still walk among us even in the 21st century."

That was when Kikyo finally noticed the change in her reincarnation ((took her long enough!)). "You wretch!! You have poisoned my pure soul with your hanyou filth!!!!!" She yelled. "I will not allow such a monstrosity to live!" With that she whipped her bow out and fired an arrow at Kagome before anyone could blink.

With a smirk, Kagome dodged and in the blink of eye, Kikyo's bow was cut in half as were all of her arrows. "You really didn't expect that to work did you?" Came Kagome's voice from up in a tree where she was lounging lazily on a branch.

'Hanyou filth? Monstrosity? I'M a hanyou.... is that what Kikyo thinks of me?' Inuyasha thought to himself.

"I don't need a bow nor arrows to defeat scum like you!" With that a burst of light flew out of Kikyo's hand headed straight for Kagome. Followed by another, and another and another and on and on until thousands of ball of miko energy were flying at Kagome at an incredible speed.

But all Kagome did was laugh. And as the beams reached her they hit full force and the entire clearing was filled with a pink light for a moment ((pink is evil in this fic)) before it settled down.

"Kagome-chan!!!!"

"Lady Kagome!"

"Okaa-san!!"

Sango, Miroku and Shippo tried to run to Kagome but were met with a barrier surrounding the two women. (( more like clay pot and woman))

But they were worried for nothing. For there was Kagome, glowing as the pink light that surrounded her became blue and sunk into her body. Opening her once closed eyes, Kagome glared at Kikyo sending shivers down the dead miko's spine. "Did you really think that would work?I may be a hanyou now but it does nothing to my spiritual powers. I can use them as easily if not more so then you can and purifying energy only makes me stronger. Thanks for the energy boost. Now if you'll excuse me, we WERE heading back to the village before you rude interruption." With that she jumped down and smoothly landed before picking up Shippo who snuggled closer to her and slowly walked back to the village.

Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Kirara stood there motionlessly for a moment, then shrugging they too left Kikyo standing there speechless and momentarily paralyzed from using up to much energy.

~ End of Chappie!!

AN: There! Chappie #2!!!! Sorry if it seemed a bit rushed but I wanted to get her back to the group ASAP so the real fun, Kikyo torture and all that good stuff can start! ^^ Also this chappie was important because it planted the seeds of doubt in Inuyasha over Kikyo's affections for him. And now he's wondering if she really accepts him for him or for only his human side. Anyway I know it kinda sucked a bit.... but I'm not used to writing with so many characters in it so it'll get better as it goes along.

Oh and for those who don't know here's the Japanese translations.

Hanyou: Half-demon

Miko: Priestess basically

Okaa-san: It basically means Mom.

-chan: basically a suffix meant for a friend (i think)

Ja ne: Some way of saying 'bye' that's all I know!!!

Kono baka aitsu hentai yaro mesuinu ketsunoana ana yariman inu-kuso: you stupid creep pervert bastard bitch ass hole ass slut dog shit (basically yeah)

Anyway I hope you liked it! (though i doubt it) I'll try to do better next time!

Ja ne!
