A Power like Mine
Chapter One
Kagome's family got into the exorcism business because of the special talents the women from the family had. They were powerful so they used their gifts to help people. Kagome's grandpa doesn't have special gifts but he still believes that he has spiritual energy. The talents jump a generation so Kagome's grandmother had them but not her mother.
It was Kagome's sixteenth birthday and would have been a cause for celebration. But from the moment she woke up, she started to notice strange things going on around her. When she'd get annoyed things would shake. When she'd get really angry, things would brake. Her grandfather notices these occurrences and told his granddaughter that every other woman in their family has experienced these changes. Though everyone's powers were different, they all happened when they were sixteen. It seemed that if Kagome concentrated hard enough, she could move things with her mind. Perhaps if she concentrated harder she could even read others thoughts. As she practiced, she tried to stay away from Inuyasha as much as possible. She didn't want him to know about her power. At least, not yet.
After two weeks of schoolwork, chores, and concentrating, she finally had her new power down perfectly. It was now time to go back to the feudal era and face a very irritated half-demon. When she got back, it seemed everyone had been waiting for her. Shippo had shot into her arms the moment she got to her feet.
"I missed you so much Kagome! What took you so long?"
"I sorry Shippo but I had a lot of work to do. Didn't you search for the sacred jewel shards in my absence?"
Miroku stepped forward.
"We tried but we didn't have much luck."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's get ready and head out as soon as possible. Where's Inuyasha?"
"He's at the hut with Lady Kaede. He didn't feel like waiting around here." Sango said.
"He's just mad that I was gone so long. I'll go talk to him then we can be on our way."
When she reached the village she concentrated on a single person; Inuyasha. That was one thing that was so great about her new power; she could always find who she was looking for if she tried hard enough. She could sense him sitting in Kaede's hut and she walked in, seeing Inuyasha sitting in a corner staring at her with a glare.
'He must have caught my scent right when I went through the well.'
He had, and at first he considered running to meet with her like everyone else, but he kept his cool and acted like he didn't care.
"Finally you're back. We haven't made any progress with the jewel shards. It took you long enough to get back so you're not leaving until we catch up, got it?"
"Yes Inuyasha, I got it."
Surprised that she gave in, though he didn't show it, he turned and left the hut. Kagome sighed before following. She wondered if she should try and read his mind to see how he truly felt about her, but her grandfather's voice came into her head.
"You must understand that having this kind of gift does not mean that you can read anybody's mind anytime you want. You must respect other's privacy. You wouldn't want anyone to start reading you're mind and reveling your inner most secrets, would you?"
Sure he had said this but not to long after he asked her if she could read Sota's mind and see if he had eaten his last candy bar. But her grandfather was still right, whether he remembered it or not. Besides, if she concentrated too hard, the person would feel someone entering their mind.
When she walked outside, Inuyasha was standing near the entrance, waiting for her to catch up. 'I'll think about it' she thought.
"Come on Kagome. We'll never catch up if you don't get a move on."
Inuyasha bent down and Kagome climbed on his back. When they reached the others, they all set off down a trail.
Author's note: This is my very first official chapter story. Tell me what you think. If you like it, I'll post more. If you don't, then there's really no reason to post the rest. When I began writing this story, I ended up writing nine chapters. So if you like it, it won't take long to update. Please review and let me know what you think, whether good or not.
