Ok, Let me just say that I don't own Inuyasha. If I did I would be telling everyone about it and most likely making millions off of it.
Chapter one500 hundred years in the past. The Inuyasha group was in the middle of a fight with a large bear demon. The fight had already lasted several hours because the bear had four jewel shards on its head.
"Kagome shoot an arrow at the same time as Inuyasha's wind scar," Sango said as she flew in the air on Kirara.
"Right!" Kagome said as she took aim. I better make this count I already feel so tired She shot her arrow and Inuyasha did his thing.
"WINDSCAR!" He yelled turning the bear into a pile of dust. Kagome fell to the ground with a sigh. Inuyasha walked over and picked up the jewel shards.
"I wonder how a bear demon got four shards?" Sango wondered, "I can understand one or two but four seems like a lot."
Inuyasha turned back around and saw Kagome on the ground. His first thought was that she was hurt. I don't smell blood.
"Hey what wrong with you?" He started walking over to her.
"Nothing Inuyasha. Why do you care?"
"I…ah don't you're the one sitting down on the ground" Inuyasha spat back.
"Inuyasha it was a long fight. I shot a lot of arrows. I am just tired from all the energy I used."
"Feh, whatever" Inuyasha started walking away.
"Sango you mind if I rested on Kirara while we head back to Kaede's." Kagome asked.
"Sure thing," Sango pulled Kagome up on to Kirara with her. "Hold on" Kagome leaned her head on Sango's shoulder and fell asleep as the two took off. It only took after a few hours of flying for them to finally reached Kaede's village.
"Hey Kagome we are here. You might want to wake up," Sango said. Kagome slowly woke up.
"Thanks," Kagome said.
"Hey Kagome, I was wondering are you doing ok?"
"What do you mean Sango?"
"Well, I'm not saying you are weak or anything. We have had a lot of battles," Sango said as Kirara touched down.
"Yeah so?" Kagome slid off the demon.
"It might just be me but it seem like most recently you have been using less arrows in battle" Sango climbed off of Kirara and looked at Kagome.
"You seem to be getting more and more tired. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Nothing is wrong with me" Kagome said.
"Are you sure because with what Inuyasha said to you, you didn't even sit him," Sango said.
Kagome looked up and saw Inuyasha walking up.
"Let's talk more later when we are alone," she started walking towards Kaede's hut.
In Kaede's hut
"Hello Kaede," Kagome said as she walked in. Kaede was mixing herbs to put on Miroku. He had been hurt badly in a battle with a demon.
"Hello child, how be ye be?"
"I'm fine we found the demon. As it turned out it was just one bear with four jewel shards and not four demons with only one shard each," Kagome said as she sat down by the fire.
"How many arrows did you use?" Kaede asked.
"I used 8 this time," Kagome not looking at Kaede.
"And after?" she said wanting more information.
"And what?" Kagome asked innocently.
"I saw you come in don't make me have to ask" Kaede said finishing up with Miroku who was still sleeping.
"It used a lot of my energy. I fell asleep on the ride back" Kagome said looking up at the old woman.
"That is half as much as last time. You are going to have to tell Inuyasha soon"
"No I won't. I not going to make him change what he wants"
"You think Inuyasha wants you to die?"
"No, I not going to be the reason he can no longer see Kikyou. Kikyou makes him happy. He loves her. I am not getting in the way of that," Kagome felt like she was going to start crying.
"You can be as stubborn as him sometimes" Kaede said getting up and walking to the fire.
"I know," Kagome smiled.
"You want to go to your time for a while?"
"Yeah"
"Ok well go to the lake and get what energy you can" Kaede said. Kagome got up from where she had been sitting. She grabbed her supplies and some of Kaede's herbs. She then walked out the door. After she had headed out the door she heard someone called to her. It was Sango.
"Kagome, you want to go to the hot springs with me?" She asked.
"Not right now. I'm going to the lake. Kaede wants me to do this miko thing"
"Oh ok, maybe later" Kagome started to walk off again.
Inside the hut
"Kaede," Miroku said weakly.
"You're awake. How are you feeling?" She asked.
"I'm fine; the herbs you have given me are working fine,"
"That's good. I will get Sango. She has been worried about you"
"In time Lady Kaede, I have a few questions for you."
"What do ye want?"
"Well, after the whole Kagome have her soul taken from her and not getting fully back I have been wondering about her health. After hearing you and Kagome talk just now it has confirmed my fears," Miroku said slowly sitting up.
"What do you mean?" Kaede said.
"Well I had heard things about mikos and soul disconnection," Miroku said.
"Really, what do you know because I haven't heard much? I am mostly going by ear with Kagome," Kaede sat down next to him.
"Well, from what I have heard that as long as the soul in returned fully they will be ok. The longer the full soul is away from the body the weaker the person becomes till they lose all their powers"
"That is all I have really heard about it. Kagome will no longer be a miko just a normal person," Kaede said with some hope.
"I wish it was that easy, because a miko's body is so used to having the protection that their health starts to be affected. Most of the time they die of sickness before what would kill them happens. Which what I think will end Lady Kagome's life," Miroku looked down at his hand.
"Why do you think her death will be different?" Kaede asked.
"Well, Lady Kagome is from the future. Unlike other miko from our time she has more cures and remedies that can help her defend her boy from sickness"
"That's true, what will kill her?" Kaede slowly asked.
"Well, after a while Kagome body will try to get the miko power back. It will most likely use her life power to get it back but because there will be no miko left in her she will mostly just drain way. He life power will be used in different ways though out her body to try to get the miko part back. Her body will be so confused at why her miko power is gone that it won't realized how it draining to much of her life power until it is to late,"
"That is awful. You already know what I told Kagome. I just wish she would tell Inuyasha. I believe that he is the one that should pit my sister to peace," Kaede said.
"This is hard enough for Lady Kagome to realize that she is going to be dying at such a young age. She mostly doesn't want things to get more difficult for Inuyasha,"
"I know I just wish there was another way. I feel like we are just sitting here doing nothing," Kaede said getting up a started walking out the door.
With Inuyasha
Inuyasha walked up to Kaede's house and saw Sango sitting on the front porch.
"What are you doing? Why are you outside? Aren't you suppose to be inside with Miroku and Kagome?"
"Well, I am waiting for Kagome to come back so we can go to the hot spring"
"Kagome's not here. Where is she?"
"She went to the lake. She had a miko thing to do"
Just then Kaede came out of the hut.
"Sango, Miroku is waking up if you wanted to see him" She sat down on the porch. Sango got up and went on in.
"Hey old hag, what is Kagome doing at the lake?"
"Gathering energy"
"Why is she doing that? She slept the whole way back from our battle"
"I can not say. She trusts me not to tell. You need to ask her yourself"
Inuyasha just looked at her than left. I hate it when she doesn't just tell me. Why would Kagome not tell me something like where she is going? She could get attacked and I wouldn't be there to save her. Inuyasha thought as he walked to the lake.
With Kagome
Kagome got to the lake and changed into her black two piece bikini. She the put her stuff in a nice little pile. She took the herbs she had taken from Kaede's. She started to whisper a chant and the herb started to glow. After she was done chanting the herbs stopped glowing. Kagome then ate all the herbs. She started walking into the lake. When she was almost to her chest she started to swim out. Once she was far enough out she took a deep breath and dove into the water.
With Inuyasha
Inuyasha got to the lake to see Kagome making the herb glow. He didn't want to bother here but at the same time he wanted to know what was going on. Inuyasha walked over to the shore and sat down as Kagome walked into the water. He watched her dive in. I am going to have to ask her about this. I've never seen anything like this before. Not even Kikyou did this. He thought. After a while he realized that Kagome hadn't come up for air. He started to panic and stood up.
Just then a burst of blue light came up from the lake. In the middle of the light Kagome raised up from under the water and floated up into the air. Kagome made a large gasp when she did all the light that had been around her sucked into her body. Kagome fell back down into the water when her head popped up she started swimming back to shore.
"Hey bitch what was that all about?" Inuyasha said. He had sounded a little ruder than he had meant to sound.
"Oh hi Inuyasha, When did you get here?" Kagome said going over to her stuff and grabbing a towel.
"Don't try to change the subject. What the hell was all that light stuff?" Inuyasha said.
"I wasn't trying to change the subject. I just wanted to know when you got here," Kagome pull the towel around her so she could change without telling Inuyasha to turn around.
"You were trying too trying. I know you better than anyone. When you don't want to talk about something you change the subject," Inuyasha said.
"I do not," Kagome said.
"You do to. I know you"
"I guess you right than," Kagome said finishing up getting dressed.
"Say it"
"Say what, Inuyasha?" Kagome said grabbing her stuff.
"Say that you were trying to change the subject" Inuyasha said.
"Fine, you were right. I was trying to change the subject. As a reward I will go to mine time and get some ramen for you since I know we are out. I'll be back in a couple of hours," Kagome snickered and headed for the well.
"Damn right!" Inuyasha said. He looked around and realized he had been tricked. "Damn!"
Ok that is all for now people please review it and tell me what you think.
