Edge of
Heaven
By Devon Masterson-Bond
Level
Eight

Tension filled the room as
its occupants sat in silence while they waited for the one who had the answers
to most if not all of their questions. Each of them took turns peaking at the
other as they tried to come to terms with the situation. It was too much of
coincidence to overlook. All of them were connected and it seemed to be by
Kagome. Richard seemed to be in the most denial out of all of them. Up until
that morning, he was a normal, close enough, college student and his only
problems was older brother David and his arrogance and whether or not he was
about to be slapped by some wench because she believed that he slept with her and
was not returning her calls. Kirby was such a lech. It was because of his twin
that whenever he felt inclined to have female company, he did not and ended up
cursing the entire gender as worthless. The only female he had ever really been
interested in was the one in his dream and all of the sudden she becomes real
with his scent all over her. It was insane.

"I am going to get some fresh air," Kagome stood to her feet and walked
towards the door, "alone." She heard the ruffle of cloth as Kelly sat
back down. She just needed sometime by herself. Everything was becoming too
much. Inu Yasha's reincarnation was only a few feet from her and it only
made her feel even lonelier. Richard was so abrasive. The only saving grace was
his eyes; she could tell that his behavior was only due to the awkwardness of
the situation. Kagome could feel a smile tug at her features; he reminded her
of Inu Yasha and that respect. "Inu Yasha," she sighed sadly. She was
carrying his pup and she was never able to tell him. She would have to raise it
alone. Tears started to stream down her face. She missed him so much.

�Here,� a voice said
soothingly.

Kagome took the handkerchief
gratefully without looking up. �Thank you,� she sniffled then stopped. It
couldn�t be. She looked up at the redheaded stranger in front of her with
sparking eyes. There was no way�he was just a little kid when she saw him last.
�Shippo?�

Shi smiled and nodded his
head. �Did Richard make you cry?� he asked. �He can be a jerk sometimes, he
kind of reminds me of Inu Yasha.�

�Shippo,� Kagome cried out wrapping
her arms around the kitsune. It was slightly awkward now that he was taller
than her, but it was still familiar and comforting. �I missed you so much. What
happened? Why did�?�

Shi pulled away slowly. �I
explain everything when we go inside,� he replied. He then walked around Kagome
curiously. She looked just like he last remembered.

�What are you looking at me
for?� She asked.

Shi smiled sheepishly. �Well
it�s probably only been a few weeks for you, but to me you�ve been gone five
centuries. I wanted to know if you looked the same.�

�Well you sure do look
different from the little kid that I saw last.� She smiled and fingered a lock
of red hair. It was hard to believe that this handsome�fox was her little
Shippo. He barely came to her knee when she saw him last and now she only came
to his chin. He had even perfected his human transformation so that only
slightly pointed ears remained. No more tail or little foxy feet and he had
abandoned his childish bun and wore his long hair in a pony tail. If fact the
only thing that did not change was the mischievous look that he still had in
eyes. She had a feeling that she kept it live for Richard and Kirby. It was the
thought of Richard that wiped the smile from her face.

Shi frowned seeing the wave
of sadness pass over her features. He titled her chin towards her. �Don�t do
that, Kagome,� he said in almost childish voice.

�Keep your hands off,�
Richard snapped as he appeared out no where. He got in between Shi and Kagome
territorially. A slight flush brushed his features as he realized his own
behavior. Damn Kagome�s scent. It was confusing him. His instincts wanted to
protect her and the pup she was carrying.

Shi grinned and stepped back.
�Kagome�s a friend, she helped raise me,� he replied. �I am your friend. I
would never dream of taking your mate.�

�See I knew it,� Kirby
commented walking outside. �My nose never lies though my brother apparently
does. Richard, Richard, if you would come to me. I wouldn�t have judged you. I
do understand the manly yearning that comes about from time to time, but I have
to admit that you did chose wisely. Kagome is quite lovely��

�She is not my mate!� Richard
shot his twin a look. He had to be adopted. �Come on, you�ll get sick if you
stay out here,� he said before scooping Kagome into his arms and carrying her
inside. He had to admit this felt familiar as he walked. Perhaps his dreams did
have some validity, but he would know for sure soon enough. �Shi, bring the
idiot with you when he�s done.�

Kirby ignored the comment.
Though he was portraying an attitude of �business as usual,� he was anxious to
find out what Shi and Kagome knew. The dreams were becoming more and more
intense. His hand was even beginning to hurt now. It was almost like something
was trying to rip at him from the inside. He had taken medicine for the pain
before, but he did not want to tip off Richard, or Shi for that matter, that
something was wrong. As long as he kept teasing his twin, he would not notice
anything amiss.

�Is everything okay?� Kelly
asked as Richard deposited Kagome onto the couch.

�Fabulous,� he snapped
sitting on the floor a little distance away.

Kagome smiled inwardly. Given
their somewhat previous history, it was becoming difficult not to fall for
Richard even when he pretended not to care. �Keep
your head on straight, girl. He�s not Inu Yasha and even he never knew how you
felt. If I get a second chance, I�ll��

�Kagome?� Kelly put her hand
on her cousin�s shoulder. She smiled when she saw that Kagome was merely day
dreaming.

�Sorry,� she blushed. Everyone
was looking at her as though she grew a second head. Kagome cleared her throat.
�I guess I should go first. Fire away.�

�Who is Inu Yasha and why are
you covered in my scent when I have never met you before today?� Richard asked.

�Right to the point, I see,�
Kagome took a deep breath. She fought to keep her emotions in check as she
stared into violet eyes demanding an answer. Moments ago they had been amber
orbs identical to Inu Yasha�s now she was looking into match eyes that she had
only seen a handful of times. �Inu Yasha
was half demon that I met when I went into the feudal era, through the Bone
Eater�s Well. He and I along with our friends Miroku, the monk,� Kirby sat up
attentively, �Sango, the demon exterminator,� Kelly smiled confidently, �and
Shippo looked for the shikon shards.�

�So then Inu Yasha was your
mate then?� Richard asked. The dreams had been real and the girl he longed to
find and get to know as himself was actually here. It was unsettling.

�No, Inu Yasha and I�� her
sentence trailed as she blushed profusely. �It�s none of your business.

Richard jumped to his feet in
anger. �What do you mean �none of my business?�� he snapped. �I�ve got news for
you, while your precious Inu Yasha is dead in the past you�re here in the
future with my scent all of you. My own twin thought you were mine; imagine
what everyone else will think?�

�Lighten up,� Kirby growled.
Richard could be such an ass sometimes.

A matching ebony eyebrow
arched. Big brother by ten minutes finally decided to be mature for once. �Fine
backing off.� He sat down Indian-style and folded his arms. He motioned towards
Kagome who was looking at him in utter shock. �Sorry,� he barked.

�Sorry... You actually
apologized?� Kagome was mystified. Sure, Inu Yasha had apologized before but
not usually without back breaking coercion of some kind.

�I wasn�t raised in a barn
you know, I do have some manners, now get on with the damn story,� he snapped.

�I think I�ll take over from
here,� Shi stood. Richard�s attitude was really annoying him. He hadn�t seen
him on this much of the defense in quite some time. Clearly Richard was holding
out on them as well. It had to be more than just brotherly concern that led him
to the Higurashi shrine. �Before I start, I want to know what you know, Richard.�

To be continued�
