Enter the Wind Sorceress
Last chapter:
Out from the clouds came Kagura, “Naraku doesn't appreciate how powerful you've gotten and I got orders to kill you or be killed and I won't die until I get my freedom!”
She swung her fan causing the wind to send more water pounding into Kagome's body so much so that she found it hard to breathe. She wanted to call for help but couldn't as water began to fill her lungs, thankfully Sango was on her way to check on Kagome when she seen the demon hovering in the air, she swung her Hirakoutsu missing purposely to distract her while Kilala moved Kagome away, “Kagome! Are you ok?” there were no word from Kagome, “Kilala tell the others to come this way Kagome is in danger!”
Kilala did as she was instructed; she found Shippo, Kanten, and Miroku and was on route to Inuyasha. When she spotted him she roared loudly to get him attention, “What is it Kilala?” she roared again, “What is it…its Kagome? Show me where to go!” They both took off running at full speed to the battle ground. “Where is Naraku, Kagura!” Kagura laughed do you honestly thin I'll risk my life to help you! You've got to be joking. Dance of Blades!” she said with a grunt of effort. “Shippo are you ready!” he nodded. Kanten and Shippo ran at full speed to Kagura and Shippo blew up into a balloon and Kanten jumped on him and used the Ragekidan (thunder bullet) it stuck her hand where she held the fan temporary injuring her. Inuyasha came swinging Tetsuaiga at full power and she barely dodged the wind scar. She swung the fan hard again and everyone blocked the dust kicked up by the wind, “At least I got a consolation prize Inuyasha!” she said while cackling.
Inuyasha ran to the group, “Where's Kagome?” he looked up to Kagura's now diminishing form, “Oh no! She's got Kagome! Kagome! No come back! Kaugra I promise you I'm going to kill you!” he sniffed the air and tracked Kagome's scent and started running, he jumped up through the trees and at the same time everyone was on their way to assist, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kanten were riding Kilala's back. “Kagura moved so fast I didn't even see her move! Did you see her Miroku?”
“No that was probably a distraction; you know when she kicked up the dust cloud.” They all nodded in agreement. Shippo went right back to being a worried kid. “Do you think Mama Kagome will be alright?” Kanten nodded, “Sure! She's got spunk she'll be ok!” Shippo managed a small smile.
She's gotta be okay. I'm coming Kagome, I wont let anything happen to you not this time not ever!
Flashback…
Inuyasha…I tried…I tried to protect them with my fox magic. I but the poison is still in there bodies. I held off the heat and smoke of the fired but they're all, *sniff, sniff* gone!
Kagome I didn't do what was supposed to…protect you. I let the band of seven hurt you and now you're…
End flashback…
Kagome was just opening her eyes, she looked around and she noticed that she was moving, for a second she thought she was riding Kilala and then sneezed. “Bless you. And not in a good way.” She gasped she noticed the voice and turned her head slowly, “Kagura! Why am I here? What do you want from me?” Kagura growled, “I don't want anything from you. It's Naraku who wants you! Personally I don't know what he wants but I want to be free.” Kagome heard the plea and sadness in her voice. “Why do you want to be free?” Kagura sucked her teeth, “Does someone control you soul? Well mines in run, operated and owned by Naraku. He can kill me in a split second if he wants, and don't have a free will of my own, I'm always told what to do I can't just do what I want.” Kagome sort of felt sorry but wanted to be free herself she wasn't sure if she could survive being in Narku's presence without Inuyasha. “Kagura I feel for you. But can't you just kill him on your own.”
“Kagome! Where are you!” Kagome heard him from her height “Inuyasha I'm here!” he looked up “Kagome jump, jump you've done it before all you have to do is tell me the truth and trust me. Are you really in love with Koga?” Kagome was tearing up, “No! No I'm not.” He continued his questions as Kagura got annoyed of this mushy crap, “Do you love me?” she kept silent, Kagura took out her fan, Fuujin no MAI! (Dance of the wind blades) Inuyasha dodged the blades, “Answer me Kagome! DO YOU STILL LOVE ME!” Kagome didn't give her answer but she did jump, “That idiot!” he leaped in the air and caught her. “So does this mean yes?” Kagome never answered.
The group all caught up with them, “Lady Kagome are you alright?” she nodded her head, “I'm fine, listen guys can you leave me and Inuyasha alone right now. He and I really need to talk.” They sat on the floor in the same spot they landed in, “What is it Kagome?” she sucked in a breath of air like it was her last, “Inuyasha…its true I do care for you and love you very much but I cannot be with you…not at least until Naraku is killed and everything is worked out, ok?” He smiled and nodded, “Ok as long as I know the truth I don't care I will have you.” She also had to tell him she had to go back home for prom committee and plus she needed a break. “I have something to ask you. Can I go home I have a meeting with my friends at school for this dance coming up soon.” “Go. I don't mind but I'm coming with you.” She was shocked he'd never willingly come to her era unless it was to retrieve her or apologize or something. “A…are you sure?” he smiled a genuine smile, “Yes I'm sure my koi.” She smiled and prayed silently that her nightmare didn't come true. They hitched a ride on Kilala and headed for the bone eaters well.
Present Day
“Mom, Kagome and Inuyasha are back!” Souta ran to Inuyasha's side, “Inuyasha did you read the book yet?” Inuyasha was embarrassed, “No kid not yet but I have it next to me so don't worry.” Souta smiled and nodded, Saito came and hugged her daughter, “are you guys hungry and Kagome, Yuka called she needs you to help with the decoration planning today and that's in…2 an a half hours from now.” Kagome ran into the house to shower and change clothes, Inuyasha played with Buyo while Souta talked to him about his recent schooling activities. Kagome came down stairs looking nothing short of amazing she wore a green baby tee that hugged her voluptuous breasts and short shorts that hugged her tight and shapely behind and track boots to match.
“K, Kagome you're not going out in that are you?” Kagome looked slightly confused, “Uh yeah, why?” he got up and walked toward the stair, “Well lemme change, I don't want you to go by yourself, so that's all” ran into the shower with lightning speed and changed into a red tank top with black pants (normal pants not punk style sorry I know that's everyone's preferred mo but I tend to stray from trends) and his beloved sandals. The recent fights had caused a substantial increase in his muscles in his arms and he looked really buff. Kagome thought he looked great she was hoping that he wouldn't attract any girls.
They took the bus to the school and what they'd be doing since it was a Sunday and there were normally no classes' only club meetings if needed or mandatory. On the two block walk to the school after getting off the bus Inuyasha smelled a noodle shop nearby and begged Kagome to let him go there after she finished her club duties she happily obliged and was actually looking forward to eating hand-made noodles instead of the instant ones, but of course to Inuyasha it didn't matter as long as it was ramen. They arrived in the class room and Kagome formally introduced Inuyasha to the prom committee and started to get to work on party themes and decorations. After an hour of agreeing and disagreeing they took a short break, “Kagome did you hear about the new transfer student?”
Kagome wanted to catch up on all the recent gossip, “Really who?” Yuka leaned in closer to her ear, “She's supposed to be super cute, athletic, and a little cold and shady, they say she's bitter because she lost he long time boyfriend.” Kagome fed into the hearsay, “Oh wow you've gotta show me who she is tomorrow!” they were called back to continue the meeting and Inuaysha just stood near the window looking into the court yard and he seen a figure that was just as beautiful as Kagome but looked sad in comparison. He looked to Kagome and knew that no one could take Kagome's place in his heart.
After the meeting finished the walked to the noodle shop and spent two hours there eating and talking about what a prom was and how exciting it would be to possibly vote for prom queen. Inuyasha wished he could attend but knew that he'd be unable to knowing that Kagome wouldn't take him. They went back to the shrine and slept peacefully.
Bring, Bring! “Ah! I'm gonna be late!” Inuyasha jumped from his corner, “What is it Kagome?” Watched her run frantically around the house, by the time she got outside Inuyasha was waiting for her, “Come on hop on!” she did as she was told. As usual they were making excellent time and Kagome was sure she'd have at least five minutes to spare to have a small powwow in the courtyard before the bell rang. Inuyasha's silky silvery mane blew in Kagome's face, she smelled it and thought it smelled of herbs in the forest (in the past or did he wash his hair with “Herbal Essences”) in the back of her mind she wished she could just kiss Inuyasha and tell him what's plaguing her dreams every night and hope he tells her she was just being stupid and needed to just shut up and trust him but it would be a while before she told him anything.
When she finally snatched herself from her thoughts they were already by the school gates. “Kagome come on the new girl is here!” she hopped of Inuyasha's back kissed him on the check (she did this subconsciously) waved back to him while running to catch up to her classmates. “Hi, Yuka, Ami, and Eri! So… where's the new girl?” they entered the main entrance and stood near Kagome's locker. Ami whispered, “Look there she is!” Kagome's eyes could have popped out of her head, (POV) Oh my gods it…it can't be! This is impossible. I thought…I thought it was all over! Maybe it's just my imagination.
She rubbed and blinked her eyes, I was sure I got…why in this time? I thought I was… the new girl walked up to Kagome and officially introduced herself. “Good morning, my name is Keikyo Nemura of class 3-A, I am a new member of the schools archery team, I look forward to working side by side with you Ms. …” All of Kagome's friends looked at her waiting for her to reply to the seemingly nice girl but that was the farthest thing on her mind until she snapped back to reality “Kagome…my name is Kagome Higurashi, I am captain of the archery club, I…I too look forward to…working…with…you.”
The girl attempted to be happy and jolly, “Oh thank you Kagome!” the girl hugged her and quickly whispered in her ear, “Don't think you got rid of me that easily and I will have what I want!” Kagome gasped as Keikyo walked to her first class, her legs started to shake and go numb and her body just collapsed under the weakness of legs but she was wide awake and she just started shouting, “I…I killed you, you cant walk this earth any longer! You…you don't belong here in this time! Just die! Please go back to hell!” Keikyo walked to class with a grin that rivaled the happiest child's smile on Christmas knowing that she got her foe right where she wanted her.
