Ch. 2: Seekers of the Sacred Jewels [UPDATE]

Hey guys, I'm sorry for not updating, I have to help my family with stuff, like wedding plans, moving to places, doing chores for money, going to some Family Reunions. Again, I'm sorry. Also, this is what Kumiko look like when she's a Hanyoū (Half Demon). Also, this will be just No one's POV & Kagome's POV and maybe a little bit of Kumiko's POV, now enjoy.

Narrator's POV

Kagome: Last time, me and my little sister got pulled into a hidden well on our family's Shrine. We're just girls in Middle School, okay? Nothing that weird has ever happen to us. There was a boy, Inuyasha, pinned to a tree when we came out. The spell should have held forever, but somehow Kumiko, my little sister, broke it. Now monsters are after The Sacred Jewels of 4 souls, and here we are stuck in The Feudal Age of Japan.

No One's: The Mistress Centipede grab Kagome with her sharp teeth and throw her up in the air and she did it to Kumiko as well, Kagome and Kumiko were up in the air as they saw two Sacred Jewels came out of their body as Kagome has the Pink Sacred Jewel and Kumiko has The Blue Sacred Jewel.

The Mistress Centipede was about to attack Inuyasha until "Iron Reaper, SOUL STEALER!" Inuyasha yelled as he use his claws to cut The Mistress Centipede in half which it explode

"But how'd it get inside our body? Why would we have the Jewels wanted by demon?" Kagome asked Kaede as Kumiko look at Kaede with the same question as Kagome.

"If you hand The Jewels over right now, I won't have to start sharpening my claws on you." Inuyasha threatened them with a smirk on his face which made Kumiko and Kagome's eyes widened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Kagome's POV

Me and Kumiko was shocked that he just wanted The Sacred Jewels, I saw Kumiko's whole body is shook, she probably couldn't even move. "What's the matter? Scared of me now?" Inuyasha asked Kumiko still has the smirk on his face which made her flinch and her eyes widen even more as she hold onto Starlight a little bit tight so her little friend won't attack him, Starlight just growled at him, then all the men's gathered around Inuyasha with spears and arrows which made Inuyasha smirked even more.

"Pay no heed to Inuyasha, my children." Kaede told us as she put her arm in front of us as me and Kumiko look at the Sacred Jewel that are glowing 'The Sacred Jewel makes monsters more powerful. Is it curse?' I thought to myself, 'Maybe it is.' I hear Kumiko through mind link, "I hate having to wait, and I hate the smell of the two of you" Inuyasha said harshly which made Kumiko's stiff like a statue and Starlight growling louder, Inuyasha look at me which made me flinch and ran as Inuyasha ran after me, then I tripped one of The Mistress Centipede bones which made Inuyasha missed as I fell on my stomach.

"You want me to scratch your back?" Inuyasha asked harshly as he crack his fingers, Starlight got out of Kumiko's arms as Kumiko ran beside me and help me up. "You really tried to hit me now, didn't you?" I asked angrily, Kumiko held me into her arms, I looked up to see her have curiosity with a hint of anger in them, that made her eyes half change the color to red. Starlight was right next to her growling even louder as her eyes are glowing red, wanting to transform, but stopped herself when one of the men yelled out.

"Shoot him! Quickly!" One of the men yelled as they shoot arrows behind him but he quickly turned around and cut the arrows in half as he ran and cut the trees in half which was behind the men's, then they scream and ran so nobody won't get hurt as the half of the trees fell and Inuyasha jumped and landed on top of the half tree.

"Huh! Who do you think I am? You think you can hurt me like I did to that Centipede?" Inuyasha asked harshly as he pointed to himself, I saw the men look at each other than look at Kaede and then I turn my head and saw Kumiko who grab my sleeve "Come on, before Inuyasha won't get distracted anymore." Kumiko told me quietly which I nod as we ran and Starlight is running behind us "Lady Kaede, methinks mayhap that we might have chanced The Centipede." one of the men told Kaede as Kaede sigh.

"Somehow I knew that it would eventually come to this." Kaede said as she took out necklace that are made out of beads. We were running, but I was running ahead first as Kumiko is behind me, 'oh no, I can sense him, he's coming!' I hear Kumiko linked mind to me, "Prepare yourself." Inuyasha told us as he almost close to us jumping tree to tree.

"Prepare? For what?" I asked almost out of breath not looking back, I then felt a force pushed behind my back, then I saw Inuyasha used his claws to cut us but missed since Kumiko pushed me out of the way and as I saw my Pink Sacred Jewel fell in front of me.

I turned around and gasped when I saw huge claw marks on the ground and it's really deep then I heard my little sister groaning, which made me turn my head and my eyes widen when I saw Kumiko's back of her school shirt was ripped open from the claw marks, showing deep claws marks on her back, and she's losing a lot of blood as the gripped onto Starlight started to be loose.

"Kumiko!" I yelled as I ran to her, I stop and kneel down to where she is, and put her head on my lap and trying to feel her pulse which I sigh in relief that she's still alive, but her pulse was going a bit slow. I saw Inuyasha jump and use his feet from the tree and jump trying to get The Sacred Jewels "Ha! Now It's mine." Inuyasha said almost getting the Sacred Jewels, then I saw Kaede summon all the beads around Inuyasha's neck which made him confused.

"Hmm? What the heck are these?" Inuyasha asked as he was trying to get it off of him, while he's distracted I put Kumiko's head off of my lap carefully, and then stand up "Quickly child! The word of subjugation." Kaede told me which made me confused, "huh? What word?" I asked as I grab Kumiko's Sacred Jewel and then mine as I start running.

"It matters not. Your word has power to hold his spirit." Kaede said as I continue running until the part of the hill which I stand broke, making me fall and as I landed on my knees the two Sacred Jewels slipped out of my hands and it rolled on the bridge, then Inuyasha came out of the trees as he saw me on my knees, "Ha! How can you overpower me when you can't stand up!" Inuyasha told me as the Sacred Jewels still rolling on the bridge.

"A word to hold his spirit? But how will I know which one?" I asked myself as I saw Inuyasha landed on the bridge and held out his hand about to get the Sacred Jewels until when I saw his dog ears I realize how to hold his spirit.

That's when I start to know it, "Sit, boy!" I said as the beads glowed around his neck making his face hit the bridge, "Sit, boy!" I said again which makes his face hit the ground again "Sit, boy!" I said again as his face hit the bridge again as I walked on the bridge "Sit, boy!" I said one more time so he won't get the Sacred Jewels as I walk closer.

"What do you know? It worked." I said quietly to myself as Inuyasha sit up angrily "What the heck is this thing?" Inuyasha asked angrily as he's trying to get the necklace around him off but it was no use, "I'm sorry, Inuyasha, but even you lack the power to remove it." Kaede said as she's on top of the hill which got Inuyasha attention.

"We'll see about that! I'd come up there and finish you off, if you didn't look half-dead already." Inuyasha said harshly as he pointed his finger to Kaede "The word, please." Kaede told me as I said "Sit, boy!" That made his face hit the bridge so hard, it made a hole as he scream and fell into the water as I walk in the middle of the bridge and grab mine and Kumiko's Sacred Jewels.

"Well then, shall we head home?" Kaede asked as I look at the end of the bridge and blink a couple of times "That was easy. Wish I'd said it earlier." I said to myself.

No one's POV

~In the morning~

All the men's were chatting while fixing their village since the Mistress Centipede damage their houses. "How's that? Perhaps I'll put more ungent on your belly." Kaede said as she put ungent on Kagome's belly which made her wince in pain, then she remember something "I noticed you're rebuilding the houses wrecked by Mistress Centipede. What a pain." Kagome said as Kaede is done and started to clean the dried blood that is on Kumiko's head, and then start to bandage it.

"Pain? Yes— and just beginning. Now that the Sacred Shinkon's No Tama is back among us, far worse than Mistress Centipede will come to claim it." Kaede said as she's done bandaging Kumiko's head, then she uses warm wash cloth to clean the dried blood off of her back which made Kumiko flinch a little from the warmth.

"Worse than yesterday?" Kagome asked Kaede who is still cleaning the dried blood off of Kumiko's back, "And not just demons. There are humans whose hearts are more evil, still, and only the Jewels has the power to make real their petty, grasp-ing ambitions." Kaede said as she's done cleaning Kumiko's blood off, then uses different medicine on her back which made her wince in pain.

"Speaking of petty, what are you still doing here?" Kagome asked Inuyasha as he's looking at the door in a sideway laying position and he turn his head a little bit and look at Kagome and Kumiko from the corner of his eye "I'm waiting for the Jewels." He said as he turn his head back and look at the door again, then Inuyasha's ears twitch when he heard Kumiko yelp in pain.

"Stay still child, or ye back get's more infected." Kaede told her as she's putting a little more medicine on Kumiko's back "I-I'm sorry, b-but it hurts." Kumiko said really quietly in a shaky voice which Kaede heard "How's her back?" Kagome asked Kaede.

"Her back will be fine, but if she reopen her wounds again, her blood will come out a lot and quickly since the claw marks that Inuyasha did is in a deep gush." Kaede told Kagome as she's done putting the medicine on her back then put bandages on her back just in case if her wounds will reopen again.

"And with the beads around his neck, his threat is diminished. It is perhaps the only way we can allow him so close to the Jewels." Kaede told Kagome and Kumiko as she's done bandaging her back "Why do you want the Jewels anyway? It seems to us you're strong enough as it is." Kagome said, then Kagome look at her Pink Sacred Jewel in her hand as Kumiko look at her Blue Sacred Jewel in her hand as well.

"What power can the Jewels give you that you don't already have?" Kumiko asked really quietly but Kaede heard her "Ah, but he's just a Half-Demon." Kaede told them as she stands up with a bucket of water under her arms, then Inuyasha had enough and punch the floor which made Kumiko flinch "You know what? I'm sick of hearing some dried up witch I just met talk like she knows me!" Inuyasha said the last part angrily which made Kumiko frightened, which made Kagome rub her back gently up and down, careful from the wound on her back.

"So ye don't remember. I thought as much. I'm younger sister to Kikyo, she who bound ye to the tree— Kaede." Kaede said as she sits down in front of the fire, Kagome felt her little sister grab her wrist and look at her meaning she's fine now, making Kagome stopped but didn't stopped when she wrapped her arms around Kumiko's shoulder and pull her closer, "You're Kaede?" Inuyasha asked Kaede then he remembers her when she was a young.

"So you're the brat, huh?" He asked as he finally remembers which makes her stand up and turn her head slightly, "50 years have passed and I have grown old." Kaede told Inuyasha as she turn back and look at the fire as she sits back down again and Inuyasha eyes closed, "If you're this old, Kikyo must be pushing 100. I'm sure glad I don't gotta worry about being old, at least not for awhile." Inuyasha said as he smirk a little still has his eyes closed as Kumiko look at him with a curious look.

"Kikyo didn't worry, either. Kikyo died. So did Kuniko." Kaede told him as Inuyasha's ears twitch and open his eyes slightly and his smirk was gone, and when Kumiko heard the word 'died' it makes her upset, Starlight saw this so she trying to cheer her up "It was on the same day she shot ye with the arrow." Kaede said as she put more small woods in the fire "Gee, sorry to hear it— Not that I really care or nothing. It's one less thing for me to worry about." Inuyasha said as he went back to his position as he close his eyes again "I wouldn't let my guard down just yet, Inuyasha. I know that Kagome and Kumiko is the reincarnation of my older sisters." Kaede told Inuyasha.

"Huh?" Kagome question, Kumiko had a curious look on her face as she looked down to see the blue jewelry that is in her hand, 'How... am I an incarnation... to Kuniko?' Kumiko thought as she intensely stared at the jewel in her hand more, "You okay, Kumiko?" She hear a voice, which made her head shot up a bit and turn to only find her older sister was speaking with a worried look on her face, of course she didn't want her sister to worry her more, so she nodded meaning she's okay.

"It isn't just because ye two resemble them. The Jewels of the 4 souls was in your body. That alone is proof enough. It's up to ye now, children, to take over it's protection." Kaede told them.

~a bit time skip~

Kagome and Kumiko were walking getting fresh air as Kagome look at the Pink Sacred Jewel around her neck as Kumiko look at the Blue Sacred Jewel on her wrist while she's holding Starlight in her arms until Kagome stop which made Kumiko stop 'Me? Protecting this?' Kagome thought with a sad look in her eyes, "Who am I kidding?" Kagome said to herself, but Kumiko heard her, and that made her worry with a curious look.

"They're the reincarnation of who?" the elder man asked, and that made Kumiko hear what they're saying, "You gotta admit there's something otherworldly about them." Man 3 told the elder as he's holding a stick that are holding rocks, "About who?" the women asked the men, "They're saying that those girls there is really Kikyo and Kuniko." man 2 told the women "That's Lady Kikyo and Lady Kuniko, for those who respect her!" The elder told him.

"Me, I knew it was Lady Kikyo and Lady Kuniko all along." Man 2 said which got Kagome's attention "Lady Kikyo and Lady Kuniko's come back just as they left." Man 3 said which made Kagome and Kumiko turn their head and saw the villagers put their hands together and bow slightly and murmuring something which they turn their head back slightly blushing, "We've gotta get out of here." Kagome said as she grab Kumiko's arm gently and they ran. Inuyasha was in a tree thinking what Kaede told him.

"They've died and I never knew." Inuyasha said to himself, talking about Kikyo and Kuniko as he turn his head to look at the lake, then a pear was thrown to him which he caught it behind his back and look at it and turn his head and saw Kagome and Kumiko with fruits and vegetables "Hey, don't you want something to eat?" Kagome asked Inuyasha "Where'd you two get all that stuff from?" Inuyasha asked

"The villagers gave it to us." Kagome answered as Kumiko nodded "Why not come down from there and help us eat some, please?" Kumiko wrote in her notebook and showed it to Inuyasha as she blush lightly which made Kagome turned and smirk a little at her 'I'll possible ask her, but when we figure out to leave this place.' Kagome thought as she turn head to Inuyasha and place her smirk to a small smile.

Two minutes later, Kagome was sitting on the grass eating pear looking at the blue a little bit cloudy sky, Kumiko eating peach looking at the crystal lake with Starlight right next to her, and as for Inuyasha was sitting down almost behind them as he glared at the two, "Whatever you two are up to, I ain't buying it." Inuyasha told them.

"Buying what?" Kagome asked Inuyasha as she did not turned around and Kumiko took another bite of her peach still didn't turned around "Listen, It's fair to say you don't like us, right?" Kagome asked as she turn to him "Way more than fair." Inuyasha said as he took a small bite of the radish "Whatever. It's even us you dislike, It's this Kikyo person." Kagome told Inuyasha which made him irritated when she said her name.

Inuyasha look at the radish angrily and then jump onto a tree branch and did a sideways laying position "I'm not Kikyo, nor my little sister is not Kuniko, okay? I'm Kagome and that's Kumiko. Can't we just call a truce?" Kagome asked as Kumiko is agreeing with Kagome "Ha! I knew it! What you two don't get is that I'm only after the Jewels. You two were just trying to lure me into a false sense of security." Inuyasha said as he pointed at Kagome and Kumiko which made her looked down sadly, yet made her older sister pissed.

"Oh, really?" Kagome asked with a little bit sarcastic in her tone when she saw her baby sister upset, then she turn her head and look at the pear that she's holding, "That's funny, considering all we have to do to make you obey is say the word "sit"." Kagome mumble which Inuyasha heard as the necklace glow around his neck and made him fall from the tree as his face hit the ground hard which startled Kumiko.

"Whoops. Sorry about that." Kagome apologize as she wave her hand up and down as she laugh a little bit, Inuyasha got his head out of the ground as he has a little bit dirt on his face "Oh, man." Inuyasha said as his eyes were wide, then he turn his head and saw Kumiko giggle lightly which made Inuyasha had pink blush forming on his cheeks.

~Night Time~

Kagome was laying down on the floor sideways in front of the fire as she's thinking about something as Starlight was sleeping in the corner "It's two days now that we've been over here. Grandpa... Sota, mom... They must be so worried. We gotta get back one way or the other." Kagome mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.

Little did they know, outside from Kaede's hut were hungry crows that wanted the jewels especially the two birds that has three eyes; one has three red eyes and other has three deep blue eyes and they have long bony tails.

When they started crowing, Kagome's Pink Sacred Jewel and Kumiko's Blue Sacred Jewel were glowing, then Inuyasha jump from the trees and use his claws to make the crows go away as Inuyasha look at the crows that are flying away "They've all come just because they smell the Jewels. Stinkin' Vultures." Inuyasha mumble the last part a little bit angrily.

Then his ears twitch when he hear something or someone playing soft, soothing, and beautiful music, that makes people fell asleep from this music, so he jump tree branch to tree branch to see who's is playing until he stop on top of the hill and saw... her...

Kumiko sitting in front of the lake playing her Dark Blue Ocarina soothingly with her eyes closed, she's playing softly under the brightly full moon which it reflected to the crystal lake and shines on her, making her long bluish black hair shiny as it dance in the wind [A/N: her hair isn't in a ponytail anymore since she takes it out at night whenever she goes to sleep] and her frail skin was shining in the moonlight as well, which made Inuyasha shocked.

'She looks so... Beautiful... Wait! What am I saying? I just met this girl, but.... Why does she looks so beautiful... In the moonlight...' Inuyasha thought as he blush lightly, then Kumiko stop playing her Ocarina and sigh quietly as she's thinking about something while she's putting her Ocarina away.

"Why are you up late at night?" Kumiko heard a male voice asking her but she know who she is, she pointed the notebook that is right next to her which Inuyasha reads, "I just wanted to get some fresh air to clear my mind on somethings." She pull her knees close to her chest and look at the lake, didn't realize that Inuyasha walked over and sit right next to her and look at Kumiko closely as he saw Kumiko's brown eyes shining like stars.

"What are you?" Inuyasha asked, she let go her knees, grab her notebook and started writing, "What do you mean?" Kumiko wrote, gave it to Inuyasha as she went back to her position, "I can sense something different about you, and I don't think you're not just a human... so what are you?" Inuyasha asked, that made Kumiko turn her head and saw Inuyasha staring at her, she sees his hair shines bright in the moonlight and the wind blow his hair a bit, making her blush a little and turn her head, looking at the lake again and smile a little as her bangs is covering her eyes.

Kumiko pick up her notebook again and wrote "What are you talking about? I'm just a human girl that is stuck in Feudal Japan with my older sister and doesn't know how to find a way home." And gave it to Inuyasha, and when he read it, there was silence between them, then Kumiko stand up and dust off her school uniform as she wrote and gave it to Inuyasha so he can read it.

"It was nice talking to you Inuyasha, I hope we can talk more but right now I need to rest, goodnight." then she put her notebook in her medium-sized book-bag and as she turn around about to walk away, Inuyasha stand up and grab her wrist pulling her back softly, making Kumiko's back touch to his chest and he put his hand on her left shoulder, his other hand still has a grip on her wrist which a little bit shocked Kumiko and made her blushing lightly.

'I-Inuyasha...?' Kumiko thoughts trailed off blushing a little bit more as his grip on her wrist was a little bit tight, then Inuyasha sit on the grass while pulling Kumiko into his lap as her book-bag fell right next to them, careful with her back, "I feel like I've known you for years, even though I just met you... Kumiko... What did you do to me? What are you.... To me?" Inuyasha asked and whisper the last part in her ear. He then let go of her wrist and wrap his one arm around her waist.

His actions made her full of shocked and blushing madly, but she then felt shivers down her spine when he trailed his hand from her left shoulder to her hand and interlock his fingers with hers, Kumiko is still sitting on his lap still in shocked, but then her eyes went back to normal as she smile softly and sigh quietly, "Inuyasha...." Kumiko said his name quietly and didn't stutter this time as she interlock her finger with his as well and look at the beautiful full moon as Inuyasha heard her said his name, it made him blushing a little and tightened his one arm from her waist a bit.

They stayed like this until Kumiko fell asleep, so Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and jump from tree branch to tree branch still has Kumiko in his arms with the book-bag on her stomach, be more careful from her back, and he went inside Kaede's hut and lay Kumiko down gently right next to the fire and Starlight so he won't wake her up as he put her book-bag right next to her, then he saw Kumiko shivering meaning she's cold.

So he took off his red garment and put it on her like a blanket which makes her not shivering anymore feeling the warmth on the red garment, he sit down and lean against the wall as he look at sleeping Kumiko until he drifted off to sleep.

~In the Morning~

Kagome was walking at the top of the hill, with Kumiko and Starlight following her until Kagome stop which made them stop, 'Inuyasha's Forest. A dry well.' Her thoughts were trailed off as she turn around looking back at the small village, 'It's how we came here after all. There's gotta be some kind of hint how to get home.' Kagome thought as she turn her head back and started walking then Starlight went to Kumiko's arms as Kumiko follow Kagome into the forest where the well is.

~at the Village~

Some of the village men and Kaede were looking for Kagome and Kumiko in the village "Kagome? Kumiko?... Kagome? Kumiko?!" Kaede called out as she's walking on the dirt path looking for Kagome and Kumiko and then the village men's ran and stop in front of Kaede which made her stop "We looked everywhere, but they're not here." Man 1 told Kaede which made her sigh.

"Could it be they'd gone off on their own." Kaede told the men as she turn sideways "we spoke of those who seek the Sacred Jewels, yet we spoke not nearly enough." Kaede said as she look down, but little did she know, Inuyasha was standing on the rooftop listening to what Kaede said and started to think of what Kaede said.
