Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Deadly Feelings ❯ Chapter Four ( Chapter 4 )

Deadly Feelings

Chapter Four

 

Summary: She's lost most of her friends and have brought a few back. The quest is finally over, but at a price. Darkness ensues though, and Kagome is going to the same school as her cousin. It also looks like there may be another shot at love.

 

I am rating this fanfic for possible lemons in the future. There is also violent death.

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or YuYu Hakusho. I wish I did, but sadly... I don't. I make NO money from the stories. I merely write them for my own enjoyment (and to see if anyone will actually read them).

 

Let's talk telepathically. (Kagome will be talking to herself, so she's color coded.)

^^ Hiei

&& Kurama

@@ Youko

 

Kagome is this color.

Her demon is this color.

And her miko/human is this color.

This happens to be the jewel.

Kuwabara and Kagome rushed across town on Kirara's back. She flew high enough that no one would see them, and she landed in front of Souta's school. Kagome went in and withdrew her little brother stating that it was a family emergency. Souta hurried with them to the hospital where they asked where their grandfather was.

 

A shaky voice called out to them as soon as they entered the emergency's waiting room. "Kazuma?" They turned to see mamma Higurashi and ran to her.

 

"How's grandpa?" They all asked at once.

 

"I.. I'm not sure. They haven't told me yet."

 

"Kagome." She turned to see a very upset Kohaku standing behind her mother. She rushed to him and pulled him into her arms.

 

"Shh... It'll be ok. We just have to pray." Kagome said as he brushed her fingers through his hair.

 

It was about half an hour later that Shizuru got there. "Aunt Michiko, what's going on?"

 

"Oh Shizuru!" She exclaimed as she hugged the girl. "Father had a heart-attack and no one is telling us anything."

 

It was two hours later that a doctor came out and said that he was now stable, but would need to remain for several days. Michiko decided to stay there and Shizuru offered to let the others stay with her and Kazuma.

 

As they walked toward her house she finally turned to question Kagome. "Who are the two boys?"

 

"Kohaku is our brother and Shippo is my son." She caught the confusion in Shizuru and Kazuma's eyes and smiled slightly. "I'll explain later, right now the boys need rest."

 

Shizuru nodded and they went into her house. About an hour after that there was a knock. Kurama, Keiko, Yukina, Hiei, and Yusuke were at the door. She let them in and told them to be quiet. They then saw Kagome was sitting on the couch with a sleeping kit in her lap. Kohaku was leaning against one side of her, and Souta the other.

 

Shizuru had the boys sit on the floor next to Kazuma and the girls got the available chairs. Hiei simply stood leaning against the wall. Kagome sighed as she moved hair from Shippo's face. "I suppose that you want me to explain now Shizuru?"

 

She nodded and Kazuma spoke up. "Why do you call that demon your son, and how is that boy your brother?"

 

Kagome smiled sadly as she looked at the boy leaning against her. She almost swore she could see Sango looking back at her. Silent tears slid down her face and her arms tightened around Shippo. "I made a promise to take care of him, so I brought him home with me. As for Shippo, I adopted him after his father was killed."

 

"Why have we never met them before then Kagome?" Shizuru asked as she looked at her younger cousin.

 

"Kohaku is Sango's little brother. She just wanted him to be free from Naraku's control, that despicable hanyou." At the mention of that name, both Kohaku and Shippo shuddered moving closer to Kagome. The little fire neko mewed and jumped onto her shoulder nuzzling her neck. "Thank you Kirara."

 

"Is that cat a demon?" Shizuru asked, noticing that it had to tails.

 

Kagome shook her head. "She's a fire nekomata, and Shippo is a red kitsune. Kohaku happens to be a demon exterminator." Kagome sighed as she got a far away look in her eyes. "Inuyasha the inu hanyou, Miroku the lecherous monk, and Sango the demon exterminator. What a funny sight it was to see all manner of demon slayers traveling with demons."

 

Shizuru noticed Kagome's tone and walked over to her. "Are you ok Kagome?"

 

More tears spilled down her face and the scent caused Shippo to wake up. "What's wrong momma?" After noticing her look he hugged her. "Please don't cry momma. They died happy knowing that they helped destroy Naraku."

 

Kagome hugged Shippo to her tightly. "I know sweetie, but I still feel that it's my fault."

 

"But what could you have done? You said that Naraku got Miroku with a tentacle through his barrier and Sango was attacked while trying to get to Miroku. Even Inuyasha fell to him. Only you, Koga, Sesshomaru, and Kirara returned from that fight."

 

"I'm just so glad we sent you both away." She said as she hugged Shippo even tighter.

 

Yusuke broke their moment though. "Mind telling us how you know King Sesshomaru and Lord Koga? Also, what is this Naraku and these other people?"

 

Kagome sighed and looked down at her son. "Sesshomaru was Inuyasha's older half brother and I met him five hundred years ago." There were gasps and several "That's impossibles". "I could time travel, so it was very much possible." She told the story of the well, minus the loving Inuyasha, and the death of their friends.

 

"I don't believe it." Yusuke said as he sat back. "So you're the miko we've been looking for?"

 

She nodded as Kohaku started to tremble. "No... Sister... Please no... Father..."

 

Kagome instantly turned to him and wrapped her arms around him as she rubbed his back. "Shh... It's ok Kohaku. Everything is fine. I'm here and I'll never let anything hurt you again." He snuggled into her embrace and quit mumbling immediately. Kagome sighed as she released him and turned to Shippo. "Why don't you go back to sleep sweetie?"

 

Shippo yawned tiredly. "Ok mommy." He quickly fell back into a nice sleep.

 

Kazuma looked at the kit and then at the young boy beside her. "You seem to make a good mother."

 

Kagome smiled at him. "I've been acting like a mother quite some time, and I love kids" she turned to look at her brother and smiled fondly. "Even if they are bratty little brothers."

 

"I am awake you know." He mumbled into her arm.

 

She smiled at him. "I know, that's why I said it."

 

Hiei had heard the entire story and couldn't believe it. This woman was a miko and didn't care about species or anything. All she cared about was whether you were good or bad. And all of her friends became her friends after they had tried killing or robbing her.

 

He was amazed that the miko could be so pure and yet not hate demons. If fact she seemed to love demons. She had a son who was a demon, a cat who was a demon, and a best friend who was hanyou. Not to mention Sesshomaru and Koga were her friends, and Sesshomaru declared her family.

 

Kohaku awoke a few minutes later to find Souta sitting and talking to the boys that were there. He looked around and found Kagome talking to Keiko and Kirara curled up on his chest. He rubbed his eyes and walked over to her. "Where are we, I forget?"

 

Kagome smiled at him. "We're at our cousin, Shizuru's house."

 

Kohaku smiled at having a family. "Where's Shippo?"

 

"I put him in bed, he needs his sleep."

 

"Ok, I'm gonna go talk to Souta."

 

"Ok."

 

Kohaku found that Souta and the other boys were discussing video games, and he stated that he liked Halo 3. They all started talking about how far on the game they'd gotten. Only Hiei was not among them. Kurama was sitting with them, but had no input.

 

^^ Fox, do you believe the miko's story?^^

 

&& Yes I do.&&

 

^^ Why?^^

 

@@ Because she carries the shikon on her. It's around her neck.@@
