Mir: go to a mental hospital?
Sess: get rabies shots?
Me: -_-0 I feel sooo loved.... and I was GONNA say apologize for being so mean and annoying around you guys but so much for that! Now I' m just gonna torture you more!
Inu: -snort- yeah right! What could you possibly do to us?
Me: well for starters.... -takes out a tape recorder- I got Kagome to say sit for 3 hours straight the other day and I have it on tape. Care to find out if a play-back will work as well as the real thing?
Inu: o.o eep.
Me: and I could always tell Sango about those playboy magazines Miroku has.... I'm sure she'd LOVE to find out about them and what' s writtenin them...
Mir: O.O crap...
Me: and I could always remind Rin of her curiosity on where babies come from....
Sess: ._. Oh gods no...
Me: -smirk- still wondering what I could possibly do to you?
Mir/Inu/Sess: -shake heads rapidly-
Me: good. Are you going to be nicer now?
Mir/Inu/Sess: -nod rapidly-
Me: good boys. -pats each of them on the head- Anyway I don't own Inuyasha the great and powerful Rumiko Takahashi does. ^^ but just wait... someday it'll happen!
((Chances are nobody wants to hear me rant about something but I just want to formally withdraw from the the numbers of the fan girls who are in love with Inuyasha for this reason: I have just realized that someone on my bowling team is almost EXACTLY like Inuyasha in personality... and I've hated him since I was like .... 10. So yeah.... that right there just ruined it for me.... -sigh- anyway on with the fic))
Something Has to Be Done Return.
Just as Inuyasha had expected it to be, the morning was awkward. Kagome wouldn't even look at him and pretty much avoided him like the plague. Sango and Miroku seemed a bit closer then usual and he had a feeling they had gotten closer during the night. He'd thought it over for hours as they walked along the path back to Kaede's to check in and make sure everything was okay there. As they walked Kagome showed them that they simply had to removed the objects to undo the concealment spell and for him he only had to tug at the bead gently for it to come off as if it had never been there in the first place. Kagome had told him to hang onto it just incase so he kept it in a small pocket hidden inside his haori.
It was during their noon stop for lunch that the trouble happened.
Kagome had been rummaging through her bag for something and let out a string a curses.
"Has anybody been into my bag recently?" she asked, pulling her head of the enchanted object.
Everyone shook their heads in order as she looked at them.... until she reached Shippo.
"Here we go..." she muttered to herself. "Shippo, why were you in my bag?"
"You said there were toys in there I could play with sometime so I looked for some." he replied, his head bent slightly incase he had done something wrong.
"And did you find anything?" Kagome inquired, her voice soft and gentle.
"Yeah there were these weird things in that k-ard-bo-ard stuff and when I pushed on one end this thing came out and it was attached to a string and they sucked up water!" he said a bit more cheerfully. " They were fun to play with when I had my bath!"
Eyes slightly wider then normal, Kagome stuttered out, "H-how many did y-you use?"
"ALL OF THEM!!!"
With a squeak, Kagome face-faulted and just laid on her back on the ground. " This is NOT good......"
"What's not good, Kagome?" Sango asked. It didn't seem much of a big deal to her.
"Those were my tampons!!!! I NEEDED those!!!"
"Feh. What for? They don't sound like anything special." Inuyasha snorted.
"Sango... could you cover Shippo's ears please? I don't want him to hear this." Kagome said, sighing.
With a nod, Sango did as told and they all sat down awaiting Kagome's explanation for the strange missing objects.
"Well, I'm sure you all know about how a girl releases blood once a month..."
At this they all paled.
"Well, in my time, during the monthly blood a girl has two choices on how to keep the blood from showing... She either uses a pad that is temporarily attached to her undergarments... or she uses tampons... and since pads are extremely uncomfortable and awkward for this time, I only brought tampons." Kagome hoped that would be enough of an explanation... but...
"What's the difference? I don't see any other way to stop the blood then attaching something to the undergarments or using bandages. So how are they different?" Sango asked, curious. This did, after all, have something to do with what she went through every month so, naturally, she was curious.
"Umm.... -sigh- you guys aren't going to let me get away with no comment are you?" she asked, defeated.
When they all shook their heads, she sighed once again. "Well.... oh jeeze... alright Kirara could you just take Shippo somewhere else? We're nearly at the village so just fly him there okay?" At Kirara's mew of agreement she sighed in relief and watched as they rose into the sky.
WITH SHIPPO AND KIRARA "Something tells me this wont end well..." Shippo muttered.
Suddenly a yell that sounded suspiciously like Inuyasha was heard and the forest itself shook.
"YOU PUT THEM WHERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
They both shook their heads sadly and continued on their way.
WITH KAGOME AND THE OTHERS.
"Yeah... anyway. They were also under a spell to stop the smell of the blood so I wouldn't end up having to explain to Shippo why I was bleeding when I didn't have any wounds. Which is why I need more..." Kagome said, twiddling her thumbs slightly.
Sango gasped. "You mean you need to go back to your world?"
Kagome just nodded, eyes downcast. Inuyasha could practically smell the tears coming, though he could only guess why, and, for once, decided to do the smart thing. He sighed and rose to his feet. "Well, if you need those... things... so bad... then we'll have to go get some."
"We?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah we. For all I know if I let you head back there you wont come back! So I'm going with you." ' And I want to find out if there really was a fire...' Inuyasha thought to himself, remembering how Kagome had sworn that, should she find out who or what had caused the fire, she would avenge her family.
& And so you can comfort her when she sees the other side of the well. You know how emotional she is.& his human side said. And, though he would never admit it, he agreed.
"I guess. Oh man. I can just see the look on Fluffster's face when we show up." she said, grinning widely.
They all raised their eyebrows and smiled at the nickname. Inuyasha felt incredibly relieved. He'd figured she'd be ignoring him for at least a month. Though he was still no closer to figuring out the 'why' thing. He knew he wanted Kagome as his mate... he just didn't know why. It was more instinctual then anything else... well, as far as he could figure anyway. It wasn't hard to see how dense he could be at times. ((-snort- that's gotta be the understatement of the century... sorry back to the fic!)) 'And how come you guys can't help me with this?!?! You want her as our mate just as much as I do!'
& Cause you're an idiot and if you can't even figure this out then quite frankly you don't deserve her!&
:As much as I don't like it he's right. If you can't even tell her how you feel and WHY you want her to be yours/ours... whatever then there's no point. She deserves to at least have the answer to her question.:
Knowing he would get no help out of them, Inuyasha resigned himself to countless nights of thought and no sleep.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The next day, they finally got back to Kaede's village. After a brief goodbye Kagome and Inuyasha headed for the well.
"Race you there!" Kagome yelled, sprinting off into the forest.
"You' re on!"
And they were off. Running side-by-side, and yelling comments back and forth such as "Kaede is faster then you!" and, "That snail is going faster then you are!"
"I WIN!!" Kagome shouted, and jumped into the well.
"YOU CHEATED!" Inuyasha called after her, jumping in aswell.
"Did not!" she cried indignantly, looking over her shoulder at him through the blue light that was the time change happening all around them.
"You did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"PROVE IT!" she smirked. No way he'd be able to adapt to her change of the pattern and come up with a comeback fast enough, so, she'd won.
"Well, for one thing you held a branch back and slapped it back to make it hit me." he retorted.
A bit flustered, she replied, "That was an ACCIDENT!"
"It happened 6 times."
"Uhh... obviously it's a very common accident..." she said, smiling nervousply.
"Yeah right."
"Oh just shut up and get outta the well!"
And he did. But what he saw made him choke. The ground all around him was charred and black and the smell of burnt everything and death came to his nose. Only the well and the tree remained, whatever magic within them had no doubt protected them from the fire.
"Oh gods." he said lightly. But Kagome heard him anyway.
"You should have seen it about 8 months back... the city has been trying to clean it up, but so far it's turned out to be to much work for the government to pay for." she sighed, leaning against the God tree at the other end of the courtyard. Though they were far apart he still heard her as if she had shouted in his ear... well maybe in his human side's ear.
"What happened?" he asked, eyes downcast. He hadn't wanted to believe what he'd heard. But now there was no mistaking it. Kagome's family was dead. No more Kagome's mother tugging at his ears, no more old man trying to exorcise him, and no more Souta teaching him about those vi-dee-o games and that sock-er thing he always liked so much. It was almost enough to make him cry. The Higurashi's had been an entire family of understanding and kind people. Even the old man had helped him out indiscreetly from time to time.Now they were gone. Just like that.
"No one knows. They couldn't even figure out where the fire originated it was all so badly burnt. There was nothing in the house that could have started it. No footprints or any evidence hinting an outsider starting it. Nothing." Kagome was now next to him, head on his shoulder and crying silent tears. "I don't have the faintest idea why my family had to die."
"When—"
"I don't know what time exactly... but it was already blazing the night I came back." she said, the tears flowing freely now. "I barely made it out of the well house."
'She decides to come back for good... only to come face to face with her home being burnt to the ground. Kagome.' he sighed, and wrapped his arms around the girl. She didn't protest but merely flung her arms around his neck and cried into his left shoulder, sobs wracking her small body.
After awhile her sobs stopped completely and not long after the tears ended.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I got your haori all wet. And you probably didn't need me crying all over you..." she said meekly, not meeting his eyes.
"Don't worry about it. Everyone needs to cry sometime and... well... I'm glad I could help you out. Now come on. We need to go get these 'tonpoon' things..."
"Tampons."
"Yeah, whatever, now let's go." he said impatiently.
"Inuyasha... would you mind if we. Um. Visited Sesshomaru? Please?" she asked, her eyes finally meeting his but with a pleading look.
"As long as he doesn't do anything that will force me to kick his ass." Ok, he'd just pretty much used the first excuse he could think of to get her attention away from him agreeing to it. He wanted to see just how much his brother had changed. And, though he didn't want to admit it, he wanted to be sure that there was nothing going on between Sesshomaru and Kagome.
"All right! You're the best Inuyasha!" she said, pumping her fist in the air, then, before either of them knew what was happening, she ended up kissing his cheek. Eyes wide, she turned quickly and rushed over to the stairs that led to the city of Tokyo. "CRAP!! I forgot!" Then she rushed back. " Put on the concealing spell I gave you! We don't wanna end up causing some kind of panic."
He blushed, and, finally getting his motor skills back, got the small bead out from the pocket and proceeded to follow the steps to make himself look human, and luckily the spell came with modern clothes this time. When he turned he froze at the image before him. Kagome looked human, just like she had before she left over a year ago. Her clothes had changed to a black shirt with 'I don't need your attitude, I have plenty of my own!' in green glittery letters and ordinary jeans like she had worn in her time the few times he'd visited her and her family.
" Let's go!" she said, grabbing onto his hand and dragging him down the immense steps and onto the street. She continued to drag him along down tens if not dozens of streets and alleys until they reached one of those really tall building things 'What did Kagome call them that one time? Sky cutters? Sky slayers? Ah well, whatever they are they're really tall.' he thought to himself.
They stepped through the big glass doors and into the building and were assaulted by worse smells then those outside. Artificial scents ((perfume)), sweat, and other unmentionable things came to their noses and they quickly donned spells to tone down the nose power. They walked to a desk and Kagome stepped up to the receptionist with an evil look in her eye. " Why hello there, Katherine." she said mockingly.
The receptionist's head shot up and her eyes narrowed. "Kagome."
" That's Miss. Higurashi to you if you'll remember. I'm here to see Sesshomaru and don't give me that 'he's busy' crap because you know aswell as I do that if he isn't notified right away of my arrival he'll skin you alive... not that I'd mind, mind you." she stated cooly.
"Yes, Miss Higurashi." the receptionist said tightly and with obvious dislike. She pressed a button on the intercom system and reluctantly said, "Lord Sesshomaru, your... uh... sister and her friend are here to see you."
"Sister?" Inuyasha whispered to Kagome.
"Yeah, Fluffster decided to introduce me as his sister so people would leave me alone." she whispered back.
"Send them up." Came the reply through the intercom. Inuyasha double-taked at the voice. That sounded nothing like the emotionless brother he knew and despised. This voice sounded... dare he say it... cheerful.
Kagome smiles at his expression and led him to the elevator and, after convincing him it wasn't a demon, led him on and pushed the button for Sesshomaru's floor. When the door opened again Inuyasha rushed out. He'd HATED that thing. Suddenly, a man with silver hair cut to his chin and a black business suit rushed out a door on the other end of the hallway. Inuyasha's eyes widened as the man, who he realized was Sesshomaru, was suddenly in front of him hugging a laughing Kagome. " Kagome! What a wonderful surprise!" he said letting her go. " I'll assume you're here for a reason since you never were one to waste time on visiting this old geezer."
"Hey! You're not an old geezer! I've told you that about a million times by now!" she said, whacking him on the side of the head lightly.
" Fine fine. How long are you two staying?" he asked, finally acknowledging Inuyasha's presence.
" A few days to a week." Inuyasha said, much to Kagome and Sesshomaru's surprise. They both shrugged it off and preparations for their lodging were made.
End chapter.
Wow that was longer then usual... Anyway you're probably wondering why I brought up the... you know whats.... well I needed a reason for Kag to go back to her time with Inuy tagging along and that was the best I could come up with that would get Inu all flustered. ^^ Anyway I'm hoping you like that chapter and I'll try to get another one out soon! Later!
Chiya.

Inuyasha's eyes widened as the man, who he realized was Sesshomaru, was suddenly in front of him hugging a laughing Kagome. " Kagome! What a wonderful surprise!" he said letting her go. " I'll assume you're here for a reason since you never were one to waste time on visiting this old geezer."
"Hey! You're not an old geezer! I've told you that about a million times by now!" she said, whacking him on the side of the head lightly.
" Fine fine. How long are you two staying?" he asked, finally acknowledging Inuyasha's presence.
" A few days to a week." Inuyasha said, much to Kagome and Sesshomaru's surprise. They both shrugged it off and preparations for their lodging were made.
End chapter.
Wow that was longer then usual... Anyway you're probably wondering why I brought up the... you know whats.... well I needed a reason for Kag to go back to her time with Inuy tagging along and that was the best I could come up with that would get Inu all flustered. ^^ Anyway I'm hoping you like that chapter and I'll try to get another one out soon!
