The Boyfriend

Chapter 25
This time when they jumped, they didn�t have to
worry about Tama and Kagome was able to enjoy the thrill of floating
through time. Her feet had barely touched the ground before she
heard:
�Kagome! Kagome! InuYasha! Kagome!� coming
from the top of the well. Shippo was staring down, yelling his head
off. Kagome looked up just a moment before InuYasha grabbed her
around the waist and jumped up out of the well. Shippo was clinging
to her before she was back on her own feet. �When you didn�t come
back? I got worried! Are you okay? You weren�t attacked again were
you?�
�It�s okay, Shippo,� Kagome assured him,
giving him a hug. �We just couldn�t bring Tama through and after
we tried, she was so upset I didn�t want to leave her. Then, I had
to go to school and,� Kagome yawned, �and I haven�t been
feeling up to the trip. I�m sorry,� she told him.
�It�s okay,� Shippo said, looking down in
disappointment. �I guess I just thought that since she was your
baby, she would be able to come through like you do.�
�So did we, Shippo,� Kagome assured him. �But
I brought pictures! Where are Miroku and Sango?�
�Oh, them? They�re back in the village. They
weren�t as worried as I was,� Shippo said, shooting a
disapproving look towards the village. Kagome grinned at the
kitsune�s exuberance and started walking to her friends. Shippo
chattered at her the entire way to the village, telling her about the
progress they had made on looking for the fragment.
�What did you say?� InuYasha asked suddenly
and Kagome stopped walking to look down at Shippo, so he would repeat
himself.
�I said: we found out that Hakudoushi is looking
to find a way to the boundary between this world and the next! So
that�s where the last shard would be, right?�
�I wonder how it got there,� Kagome said
softly while InuYasha started trying to think of a way to beat
Hakudoushi to his destination.
�Apparently, he�s been trying to find it for
months,� Shippo continued.
�How did you find out?� Kagome asked as they
resumed walking.
�Well� he� he kinda told us,� Shippo
admitted.
�So we figure it�s a trap,� Sango continued,
stepping out from behind a tree and startling Kagome. �Hello,
Kagome-chan, welcome back,� she said, smiling.
�Hi, Sango-chan,� Kagome responded. �A
trap?�
�It seems fairly obvious that he can�t find a
way in, so he�s trying to use us to do so,� Sango explained.
�Not surprising,� InuYasha said quietly. �And,
of course, it�s going to work because we can�t let him get to it
first. Damnit!� InuYasha hit a nearby tree, startling a small flock
of birds out of it.
�Where�s Tama?� Sango asked.
�She can�t go through the well,� Kagome
explained briefly. Sango nodded understandingly and motioned to
Kaede�s hut.
�We should go find Miroku and discuss our next
plan,� Sango said. Kagome nodded and InuYasha just started walking.
A minute later, they were sitting outside the hut in a semi-circle
and no discussion of the �plan� was being made, due to Kagome
pulling out the photos she brought with her.
�She looks so much like you, Kagome-sama,�
Miroku said, touching the picture and smiling.
�This is InuYasha?� Sango was asking about the
photo in her hand, of the hanyo peacefully lying next to Tama.
�Yup. Hard to believe, huh?�
�Hey!� InuYasha protested.
�It�s too bad I can�t meet her,� Shippo
said sadly. �I was hoping we could play together when she got
bigger.�
�I know, Shippo, I�m sorry you won�t get to
meet her, too,� Kagome said, patting his head as he sighed.
�Weren�t we supposed to be discussing how to
beat Naraku to the last shard?� InuYasha grumbled. Everyone handed
back Kagome the pictures and settled down to talk seriously about
strategy. It took them less than an hour to decide to �fall for�
Hakudoushi�s trap and hope for the best. �We�ll be pushing very
hard and fast,� InuYasha said, turning to Kagome. �Are you sure
you can handle it? You can stay behind��
�You know I�m going,� Kagome said, sighing.
�Mama will take care of Tama while we�re gone. And I�ll be
okay.� InuYasha knew better than to argue, so he nodded and stood
up.
�Then let�s get you home for now. We can leave
after you get out of school on Saturday. That will give us and extra
half a day instead of leaving on Sunday,� InuYasha said and Kagome
nodded.
�What are these �days� you�re speaking
of?� Miroku asked, slightly confused.
�The days have names in Kagome�s time,�
InuYasha explained. �Today is Wednesday, so we�ll be back in
three days. Then we can go after the final shard and hopefully, we�ll
get it before Naraku.� Everyone nodded in agreement.

�Where the hell did these fucking birds come
from?� InuYasha yelled as he shot off the wind scar at a huge group
of avian youkai.
�They look more like pterodactyls!� Kagome
yelled as she clapped her hands over her ears to drown out a nearby
�bird� as it screeched horribly. InuYasha fought viciously to
protect the first villagers they had found alive since leaving behind
Hakudoushi�s trap, which turned out to be a waste of time that
nearly got them killed. But, of course, they had expected no less.
Nearly a week had been wasted and they were trying to get Kagome home
as fast as possible when they had come across the first exsanguinated
body. Empty, burned out villages followed and Kagome had to accept
that she was going to miss some school. They couldn�t just let this
go and hope for the best.
�I believe these are the beings responsible for
destroying the other villages,� Miroku yelled as one of the birds
burst into flames. It hit the largest house and the villagers hiding
within fled the burning building into the clutches of the vampire
birds.
�There�s no doubt about that!� InuYasha
snapped as he swung at another bird, protecting an old man who
cowered on the ground in fear. Kagome was frustrated at her inability
to fight and just tried to avoid making herself a target. She watched
Sango throw Hiraikotsu through several of the youkai and Miroku
opened his wind tunnel. She was watching the birds disappearing into
his hand when she saw�
�Saimyoushou!� Kagome�s cry saved Miroku
from sucking in the poisonous insects, although he was now down to
his staff as a weapon. InuYasha chased after a smaller part of the
flock that had cornered several villagers and that�s when Kagome
saw the birds headed for her. She turned and ran towards Sango, who
was closest, but she knew she couldn�t get there in time. She
tripped and fell into the dirt, her hand brushing up against
something familiar. She didn�t spend any time in thought; she just
grabbed the bow and knocked a nearby arrow, pulled and released as
fast as she could. She had seen how ineffectual an ordinary arrow was
against youkai, but she wasn�t going to die without at least
trying!
A pink light filled the sky and all the birds
disappeared in a purifying cloud as Kagome stared, dumbfounded. She
was so shocked that she almost didn�t see a bird dive-bombing a
little girl just a few meters away. The girl�s shriek pulled her
out of her daze and she barely took the time to aim the next arrow
she found. It still struck right through the youkai, as she was
hoping.
Her power was back.
To be continued�
A/N: I chose to use the English words for the days of the week
because it�s simpler. But for those who want to know the days of
the week (starting with Monday) in Japanese, they are: getsuyoubi
(moon day), kayoubi (fire day), suiyoubi (water day), mokuyoubi (wood
day), kinyoubi (gold day), doyoubi (earth day), and nichiyoubi (sun
day). Note that Sunday and Monday are the same meaning as in English.
And, as before, I�m sorry for the very long delay in posting, but
as some of you know, I�ve been doing prenatal stuff, trying to buy
a house and a new car (ours died) and right after we got the new van,
we were in a bad accident and it was totaled. We�ve been so busy
lately I just haven�t had time to post this update and I�m really
sorry, everyone!
