The Jewel Holder's Dilemma

Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha or the Summer King and The light bearer's daughter.

Kagome walked through the thick forest of Senjoku Jeudi (sp?). She had just seen Kikyo in Inuyasha's arms. 'It isn't fair!' she thought to herself 'I love him! Why can't he love me?!' She kept walking taking her anger out on nearby forest life until she came to a glen.

It was a pretty place with pink and blue bluebells, foxglove and fireflies all around. In the middle there was a large rock. Kagome sat down on it and started crying.

" What ails you my child?" Came a voice. Kagome looked up and saw a woman with long fair hair crowned with white hawthorn. She wore a green dress sprinkled with dewdrops, which glistened in the low light.

"The one I love is in the arms of another."

"Do not sorrow child. It is the way of things" (A/N you readers are probably wondering where this is going right? Well I'm trying my best but I'm pretty much winging it)

"But she is a pile of clay not living."

"A I see, one of the other world. Child I will help you, but you must do something for me."

Kagome was starting to fall asleep

.

"Fight it child fight it!" But it was to late. Kagome was asleep. Suddenly the woman changed into a teenager. " No I cannot reach her all is lost." Kagome woke back up at this brush of reality.

" What must I do?" Kagome asked.

"Child I cannot ask this of you. I am of Faerie and I was going to ask you this foolish thing. Those of Faerie will send mortals selfishly out on missions thinking only of themselves.

"

"Please elaborate"

"Since the beginning of time the saving of Faerie has always been a human affair. I need you to deliver a message to Laheen, the lord of the skies, please forgive for I am betwixt and in between."

"What will I get in return."?

"I will give you the ability to grant your heart's desire."

Kagome thought for a minute, on one hand she could stay safe and finish the jewel or on the other hand go off on this new adventure with promising rewards.

"I'll help you." She said with a look off finality, "What is the message?"

"The message is: The light must meet. First Hy Brasil then Tara. Where is the fire lighter to wake the magic? Blaze the

light a top Egli and clan shall stay another 7."

"That is a really weird message."

" Do not ponder it. The Lord of the Skies will understand. Kagome you must make haste. At sunset tonight you'll have seven days; you must make sure Laheen makes it to Mount Egli. And you must go alone. Here open your eyes." The lady took out a container and put something on her fingers that looked suspisously like lip-gloss. She dabbed it on Kagome's eyes.

" Now you can see what cannot be seen. Leave tonight and do not dawdle for the shadow is always behind you. Good luck. Kagome."

"Wait how did you know my name." Called Kagome, but the lady was already gone. She suddenly found herself out side the camp.

" Kagome, Kagome." Called the voice of Sango.

"I'm over here Sango." Kagome called back.

"Kagome thank goodness we've found you. I was so worried that you'd been carried off by a demon. What were you thinking running off on your own!?"

" Thank you for your concern Sango but as you can see, I am alive and kicking'."

"Well I'm glad to see you're alright, Kagome what happened to your shoulder?!"

Kagome looked at her shoulder, there was blood running down it and a pattern cut into it.

"It's nothing Sango, I just tripped and fell.'

Now that she thought about it, she had a lot of marks on her, mostly small cuts and bruises. Though how she had got them was a mystery to her. The strange thing was though only the mark on her shoulder hurt. 'That lady she's a fairy, of course she used fairy magic to make it look like I'd been through utter hell when in reality I was perfectly fine, It's all an illusion and a powerful one at that. I must thank her for the alibi when I see her again.

A sudden jolt broke her train of thought and brought her back to reality. She looked up at the furry ball that had just knocked her to the ground.

'Hello ground, you are comfortable." She mumbled.

"'Kaa-san! You're all right I was so worried about you." cried the ball of fur into her stomach.

'Shhh it's ok Shippou. See I'm okay." She said soothingly.

Shippou looked up "Kaa-san your bleeding.'

"It's just a little cut all be fine really." Kagome said as she got up.

" Ya know what Kaa-san, Inuyasha was really worried about you, he was really worried when he couldn't pick your scent. He said it was like you'd disappeared. Kaa-san are you alright?"

'Yes Shippou, just tired that's all." 'He was worried about me. Feh he just wanted his shard detector alive, why he could just use Kikiyo if he wanted, still he couldn't pick up my scent, that fairy must have made it so no one would interrupt us speaking.' Once again Kagome was jolted back to reality by a gruff sound of Inuyasha's voice.

" YOU HAVEN'T FOUND HER!!!!! THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!!!!  FOR ALL WE KNOW SHE COULD DEAD!! YOU IDIOT WHY DID YOU ET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT! I'M GONE 20 GOOD DAMN MINUTES AND SHE MISSING AND THREE DAYS LATER SHE'S STILL MISSING BECAUSE YOU LET HER GO!!!"

"Sango, have I really been missing three days?"

"Kagome, did you not notice get dark at night."

'Faerie, I must have stumbled into Faerie. Time passes slower there, stupid, stupid Kagome.' Suddenly she felt her strength leave her.

"Sango, I'm so tired I can't…" with that she promptly fainted.

"Inuyasha come here quickly." Called Sango, "We found her!"

Inuyasha ran over and stared at Kagome. 'She looks like utter hell, maybe she saw… no she couldn't have I would have picked up her scent besides I don't like Kikiyo that way anymore, Kagome knows that, doesn't she? I mean my love for her burns like a thousand white hot suns (A/N lol fairly odd parents) but I can't tell her that.' Inuyasha picked Kagome up and headed toward the camp, leaving Shippou and Sango behind.

"That was odd." Said Sango.

"Hey come back here with my Okaa-san, Inuyasha!" called Shippou running after him

It was late at night when Kagome awoke, surprisingly, refreshed, warm and comfy. She looked up she was in Inuyasha's arms and fifty feet above the ground with no way down, covered by his haori. 'He must want to make sure I don't leave again.'

She looked at the fire and saw it had stopped moving and leaves where stopped in thin air. 'Fairy magic' she thought. Kagome removed herself from Inuyasha's arms, which was actually was really hard considering he had her in a death grip, and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be back soon, my koi, as soon as I'm done. Ai shiteru Inu-koi." She hopped down and packed up her bag with things she would need. She was just about to leave when she saw Shippou stirring.

"Shippou," she whispered in his ear, " Mommy's going away for awhile but I promise it's only for awhile, if you need help while I'm gone listen to the trees they will guide you. Tell Inuyasha and I'm fine for me and tell him to Follow the greenway. Be safe and be at peace my son I'll be back soon."

With that she left, she was almost far enough away when the spell wore off and Inuyasha noticed something was wrong.
