Chapter 15: Sensation of Erroneous

(Feeling) (Wrong)
Kagome woke to the delicious smell of her mother�s homemade breakfast. The exquisite aroma woke her from a sound sleep since she hadn�t had a hot breakfast in a while. She yawned and walked down the stairs. After quickly consuming the French toast, eggs, and sausage links, Kagome headed back upstairs for a well-deserved shower and change of clothes. The hot shower relaxed her irritated muscles and cleared her mind, if only for those few minutes.
�Kagome.� Her mother yelled up to her as she walked out of the bathroom and to her room. �Could you run up to the grocery store for me?�
�Sure mom. Just let me get changed.� Kagome quickly dried her hair and dressed in her black mini skirt and navy blue sweater. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen where she saw her mother frantically scurrying around.
�Thank you, Kagome. I just don�t have time. Sota needs to bring in a treat for his class tomorrow and he didn�t tell me until today. How sweet of him�. Here�s a list of items I need.� Kagome took the list and yen her mother handed her and waved goodbye as she left.
The cement jungle of downtown Tokyo seemed so foreign to Kagome. She had spent so much time in the feudal era trying to piece together the jewel that she hasn�t seen downtown in a couple months. She quietly walked down the sidewalk avoiding eye contact with everyone while thinking just how different things in her era were. Everyone wore shoes, clothing seemed to be missing, fresh air was nonexistent, elderly, far older than Kaede, walked around without a care, and manners were sorely lacking. �It�s so complicated and stuffy here. Even I can smell the difference! And everyone�s in a rush around here. No wonder Inuyasha doesn�t like it here.�
�Kagome!� Yuka bellowed from two stores away. The group of friends walked toward her.
�Hi guys.� She greeted the three with a shy smile as they came up to her. She didn�t know why she felt shy. They were her best friends, in this era at least. She hasn�t seen them in a while and didn�t say good-bye to them before she left for the feudal era for an extended stay. She only came home for short periods and didn�t leave the shrine.
�So how�s college in America?� Eri asked as they entered the grocery store. Kagome paused and looked questionably at her. �Your grandfather told us that you haven�t been home because you went to America for college.� �I guess gramps ran out of diseases and disorders.�
�Oh yeah! It�s great.� She terribly lied.
�So what major are you going for?�
�Did you meet anyone yet?�
�Yeah, how are the guys over there?�
�Speaking of guys, Hojo missed you at his going away party. Too bad you had a case of tendonitis.�
�You should have seen what Ayumi did to her boyfriend when she caught him cheating��
�Stop Eri�. Hehehe.� Kagome didn�t have time to answer any questions before someone else started talking and rambling on about who did what or what happened when. They walked with Kagome through the store never ceasing the chat and gossip. Kagome felt completely out of place. She liked some of the modern inventions but she enjoyed the simple life. Worrying about college, who called whom, and what expensive possessions one owned seemed obsolete. What was the point of complicating her already complicated life? Fresh air, gardening, helping the injured or sick, and fighting off demon attacks were her life now. She actually enjoyed that life more than the one in her own era. It didn�t feel right to be here. Something was wrong with this. A knot formed in her chest, causing her to contract all her other muscles.
Something just wasn�t right.
She didn�t understand it but she felt the urge to be back in the feudal era. Her instincts were telling her to hurry back. Ever since beginning her voyage with the group, she had learned to trust those instincts, which many people in her era disregarded. A car horn blared and Kagome jumped. �It�s so noisy!�
�Kagome, are you alright?� Kagome looked at her friends who were watching her scrunch her face.
�Yeah�. I�m sorry but I have to go.�
�But Kagome!� She started to jog back to the shrine.
�I�ll talk to you guys later�. Promise!� Kagome yelled back as she hurried back home with the groceries in hand.
�I wonder what her problem is.� The three looked at each other.
As she handed the requested items to her mother, she let the silence permeate the kitchen.
�Kagome, are you alright? Is something wrong, dear?� She followed her rushing daughter to her room as she hurriedly changed.
�No. I�m fine. Why would you ask?�
�It�s a mother�s instinct�. And that you are rushing for some unknown reason.� Her mother could sense something wrong with Kagome, but she loved her daughter and trusted her. �I know that there is something wrong and I know that you will make the right choice with whatever it is. I won�t ask you what it is, but I do ask that you listen to your heart. It will never lead you astray.�
Kagome stopped her hastened movements and smiled at her mother. She strongly believed that her mother should have been a philosopher. She gave some of the best advice and looked at the world from a different view.
�Thanks mom. I know I haven�t been here long but I have this feeling��
�Go on dear. We will be here when you return.� Her mother cut her off before she could finish. Kagome smiled again and hugged her very understanding mother.
�I love you mom. Thank you.� Kagome grabbed her bag and headed out the door. �Tell Sota and gramps I�ll miss them.�
�I will�. Be careful.� She yelled back as Kagome ran out of the house and to the well.

As Kagome entered the feudal era she heard a loud clash of metal on metal.
�What�s going on?� Kagome looked up at the opening of the well to see a cloud of dust settle. Climbing carefully out of the well she noticed Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara staring at her. She sat on the ledge and soon realized that the group was not looking at her. They were looking past her at a very angry hanyou and a stoic taiyoukai. Inuyasha lunged toward Sesshomaru who easily avoided the attack. As Inuyasha jumped back he began yelling.
�What the hell do you want? Leave!�
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. �Do not mistake me for a lesser demon. I shall go where I please!� Sesshomaru sidestepped another attack from Inuyasha.
�Inuyasha!� Kagome yelled as Sesshomaru held out Tokijin and used his demonic speed to attack Inuyasha.
�Kagome! Get back!� He held up Tetsusaiga in defense. As the brothers clashed, sparks flew between the blades. Inuyasha�s venomous glare soon turned into confusion as he looked into Sesshomaru�s eyes.
�What did you do?� The two pushed off one another and flew back. �Why can�t I smell you anymore?!� Inuyasha interrogated the Western lord. Sesshomaru�s gaze moved past Inuyasha and right to Kagome, who stood next to Sango, watching and waiting for a reply. She remembered Sesshomaru saying that Inuyasha wouldn�t be able to detect it, but he never said that Inuyasha didn�t know how to conceal a scent. She could only hope that he didn�t. Kagome became worried and Sesshomaru could see it in her eyes. She didn�t want Inuyasha to find out and accuse her of treachery. She wasn�t ready just yet, although she knew it was bound to happen.
�Look at me bastard! I�m your opponent, not them!� Sesshomaru raised his left eyebrow and looked at the hanyou.
�You are not worth my time, half breed.� He sheathed Tokijin and turned to walk away.
Inuyasha grew a smug look. A half smile appeared across his lips. �Admitting defeat, huh?�
Sesshomaru stopped, and without giving him a glance, replied, �You will never defeat me. We will finish this at a later time.� A silver sparkling cloud appeared below his feet as he took off into the sky. Inuyasha growled and put Tetsusaiga away. Kagome ran to Inuyasha�s side.
�What happened when I was gone?�
�I caught the bastard sniffing around the well.� Inuyasha stopped and looked down at her. �Why are back so soon? I thought you were coming back tomorrow.�
A confused and angry look came over Kagome. �Gee. I thought you wouldn�t mind me coming back early. The faster we can get the jewel shards right?!�
Inuyasha lowered his voice and looked to the side. �Yeah�. Right.� Inuyasha began walking back toward the village. �We�re staying near the village tonight. It�s too late to set off now.�
�But we still have a little while before the sun sets.� Shippo jumped up on Inuyasha�s shoulder. He stopped and grabbed the back of Shippo�s shirt to hold him up to his face.
�I said we�re staying.�
Inuyasha let Shippo fall to the ground as he continued toward the village. �We leave early tomorrow.� He never gave the group a glance.
Shippo grumbled, �What a grouch.�
Kagome picked him up and cradled the fox cub close. �He�s just mad because he lost to Sesshomaru,� she replied with a smile. Kagome set the kitsune down and walked toward the village with Miroku and Sango. Shippo stood there, perplexed.
�But Inuyasha didn�t lose to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru walked away. Why would Kagome say that?� He shrugged his shoulders and caught up to the group, thinking she somehow meant it in a different way.
To be continued�.
