Author's Note: I have NO clue why I decided to even start another fic,
but. I just had some major inspiration, thanks to my good friend, GIN. I
tried not to steal your idea, GIN, but... If I did, just tell me and I'll
delete this story and come up with another idea. Anyways, the summary of
this story is this: The jewel is finally complete, after a fierce battle
with Naraku. Now that their search is done, what will the gang do now?
I will need a little help with creating this story. If I don't get at least five reviews for this first chapter, I will not continue this fic. And you won't find out what I had in store! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I AM the most eeeeevil creature ever to plague this pathetic planet! Just kidding! =^-^= Heheheh... Anyway, here's my newest fic, Finally.
Finally
Chapter One:
The Search Is Over, A New Problem Arises
"Naraku..." Inuyasha growled deeply. "Give it up. You'll never defeat me. Either you give us your shards, or I destroy you and you give up your shards anyway." He placed the Tetsusaiga above Naraku's neck, slightly piercing the skin.
Naraku smirked, closing his eyes. "Heheheh... Give up to a lowly hanyou like you... Heheheh... I'd never disgrace myself by performing such a feat." He opened his eyes, which were glowing a bright red. They lost their color in less time than it would've taken for him to blink. His head rolled away, the smirk still painted on his pale face, trailing bluish- black blood on its way.
'I warned him,' Inuyasha thought. Soon, Naraku's body disappeared, along with his severed head, revealing about thirty to forty small, pink jewel shards. He turned around and saw his companions standing behind him.
Miroku had placed his prayer beads back around his hand, blocking off his Wind Tunnel. Sango was holding her hiraikotsu behind her, ready to strike, Kirara at her side. Shippou was sitting on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome was holding a bow and arrow, waiting to release the arrow. Kouga seemed to be nowhere in sight, but Inuyasha picked up his scent. He was about thirty yards to the west.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said. "Come over here, please?"
She obliged and looked down behind Inuyasha. "Wow, I never knew he had that many shards!" she said as she bent over and picked them up, purifying each with her touch. "I'm really surprised that we were able to kill him." After all of the shards were collected, they started to glow intensely. "What's happening now?!"
As Kagome's shard around her neck started to lift, so did the bag full of the shards retrieved from Naraku. The necklace broke and the bag burst, pieces of fabric flying in every direction. Everyone except Kagome covered their eyes to the bright light. When Inuyasha dared to squint one of his eyes open, he saw Kagome, with a blank look on her face, being lifted up into the air, her hands reaching for the fusing jewel.
"Kagome, don't!" he tried to shout, but for some reason, his voice was caught in his throat. 'What is she doing?!' he thought.
There was a sudden flash, and no longer was Kagome standing in front of the group of travelers, but the priestess, Midoriko, the woman from whom the jewel first appeared.
"Where is Kagome? What have you done with her?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Kagome? The young reincarnation? She is me. When she touched the jewel, it reacted to her purifying power and turned her body into mine. Her mind and my own have fused, as well as our bodies." Midoriko stood still to let Kagome's friends take in everything about her. She did indeed look different from when they saw her in the cave, stuck in the stone. Her hair was not the same style or length. It matched Kagome's almost to a T. Her outfit was very strange, to say the least. It was a short kimono, the same color as her old one, but it was in the style of Kagome's school uniform. Her face had some features that reflected Kagome's. Her eyes were big, bright, and brown, and her jaw line was almost exactly the same.
"But... Why isn't she the same? Why isn't she just her and you are inside her?" Shippou asked, very confused.
"That I cannot answer. For even though I am a wise miko, I do not know all the answers to the mysteries of this earth." Midoriko started to walk up to Inuyasha and whispered so low that only he could hear it. Her voice was not that of the mature woman in front of him, but that of his crush, Kagome. "Inuyasha, I'm so sorry. I never knew this would happen. I had no idea what was going on. Midoriko and I are talking things through, and I'm trying to convince her to try and separate so we each have a body."
Inuyasha looked into the priestess' eyes and saw the familiar glow that Kagome's always had. "Kagome, is there even a way?" he whispered quietly.
"Yes, I'm sure of it. But, if it doesn't work, there's something I must tell you. Inuyasha... I... I love you." She leaned forward and lightly kissed his lips. As soon as their lips met, she pulled back so as not to arouse suspicion. It would have worked if Inuyasha hadn't blushed and started to quiver.
"Inuyasha," Miroku said, walking up to the hanyou. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Inuyasha looked into Midoriko's eyes, trying to find Kagome in them. "So, Midoriko, should we go find the elderly priestess, Kaede?"
Midoriko, who's voice had returned, nodded. "Let's go."
As she passed, Inuyasha looked once again into her eyes. There was confusion, as if there were a battle going on inside her head. 'She and Kagome are discussing how to defuse. I think Kaede might be able to help-' Inuyasha's thoughts were cut short by a sudden cracking sound, followed by a thud. He whipped around to see Miroku on the ground, a huge bump in the top of his head. He looked up at Sango, who was flushed with fury, her huge bone boomerang over her head.
"What? He was up to his old tricks again!" she exclaimed, pointing to Midoriko's retreating back.
Inuyasha shook his head and continued to follow the priestess. 'When will that pervert ever learn..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Teaser: "But Midoriko, please! I have a family back home! They're going to be worried about me!" Kagome was on her knees, begging the miko.
"I have to think about it, Kagome. Just give me time. Let us wait until we get to Kaede's hut to start discussing this." Midoriko turned her back to Kagome, sat on her knees, and began chanting.
************************************************************************
Author's Note: Whachya think? Good start? I hope so. Sorry if it seemed short. Trust me, Midoriko and Kagome will separate, but I have to put a few chapters between the fusing and defusing! Anyway, like I said before, FIVE reviews, or this fic is no more! Ja matte ne!
