Chapter 1
The fire was crackling softly in Kaede's hut as Kagome finished her explanation. "Lady Kaede do you sense anything strange about Inuyasha like me?" Miroku asked.
"Now that ye mention it, he seems to have a foreign power inside him, but it doesn't seem to be causing him harm. The power seems to be similar to spiritual powers but I have no knowledge of where it could have come from. Could it have come from Kagome?" Kaede thought out loud.
"Kagome, have you and Inuyasha been experimenting lately?" Miroku said suggestively.
"Hentai!!!" All at once Kagome, Sango, and Inuyasha hit him into the wall. Everyone turned to Inuyasha in surprise except for the unconscious Miroku. Inuyasha, with his vacant eyes, lied back down.
Myouga, who was hiding in Kirara's fir, decided to go to Inuyasha and investigate. So, he hopped over to Inuyasha and started to indulge in his typical flea mission a.k.a. 'Operation Suck Inuyasha's Blood without Getting Squished' (attempts made about 10,000,000; successes 0). He went to Inuyasha's face and started feasting. For the first time ever Myouga overdosed on blood and he started to glow and in his big flea body was torn away from Inuyasha by Miroku who had just woken up.
"What are you doing, Myouga?" shouted Kagome.
"Yeah, what are doing?" said Sango.
"Did you just come back after the battle in your typical cowardly behavior?" said Shippo.
"I had felt a strange power and I came to investigate the cause because I was worried about Inuyasha," said Myouga.
"You mean you waited until the fight was over and then showed up when it was safe again," said Miroku.
"My loyalty is unquestionable."
"But your cowardliness is just as much of a fact."
Inuyasha's ears twitched as the argument got louder and louder until he couldn't take it anymore. "Would you shut up? I'm tired of hearing all of you yelling and arguing all over the place," Inuyasha shouted.
"Inuyasha!!!" everyone exclaimed gathering around Inuyasha with looks of concern on their faces.
"What! What's with those looks on your faces?" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha are ye okay? Ye have been out for hours," Kaede asked.
"Keh, I'm fine. It takes a lot more than that to harm me."
"Never mind that you were unconscious for hours," said Miroku.
"Keh." Inuyasha didn't understand why he felt so… off. It wasn't that he felt weak it was just the opposite he felt great. "So what the hell happened after I passed out?"
"Well let's see you incarnated the beetle. How did you do that?" Miroku asked.
"Keh. I was simple, Monk. I… well… you see… I don't know."
Myouga was watching the exchange and wondered how to approach Inuyasha with a question. 'I'll just say it. He will be surprised enough to answer.' "Inuyasha, why didn't you tell me that you had spiritual mind powers? Can't you trust your loyal servant?"
"Feh." Inuyasha said folding his arms together, trying to avoid the question.
"Inuyasha, did you know that your aura has an underlining spiritual power surrounding it?" Miroku asked.
"What are you talking about, Miroku?"
Everyone sat in stunned silence until Sango spoke up. "Do you think it's true?" she asked.
"Well if it is, how does Myouga know?" questioned Kagome. "He wasn't with us when Inuyasha acted strangely."
Inuyasha hearing this wanted to know about that so, with no warning, he snatched Myouga and run into his forest.
"Was it something I said?" asked Kagome.
----------
While they discussed Myouga's revelation, Inuyasha had a few questions of his own for a certain flea.
"Out with it, what do you know? Why are you saying I have powers that I don't have?" Inuyasha demanded in a threatening voice.
Myouga pondered for a moment at the situation and decided he didn't have much a choice. "Inuyasha-sama, I have never told about the true powers of a flea demon. We have the ability to acquire knowledge from the blood we drink, but the knowledge we can gain depends on the amount of blood we drink. I know you have spiritual powers that aren't true spiritual powers, why do you deny it?"
"Why didn't you ever tell me about that ability?" Inuyasha growled.
"Well… you never asked my lord," Myouga said timidly.
"Wait that means while I was out you…" Myouga could tell that this wasn't going to end well for him so tried to get away. "You're not going anywhere you stupid flea. Who said you could drink my blood?"
"Well it may be a good thing I did," said Myouga.
"Why?"
"Because I noticed that part of your mind is sealed by some kind of spell I have never seen or tasted before. I also know another secret of yours that you have hidden from everyone."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's just say, I know you are smarter than you have lead everyone, including your closest friends, to believe."
"How much blood did you suck out of me, anyway? You didn't know any of this before, or did you?"
Myouga started to explain, "Inuyasha-sama, normally when I suck your blood you smack me within seconds and this doesn't leave a lot of time to learn anything. The only time that I would have time to suck that much blood is when you are poisoned and then I can't acquire knowledge from poisoned blood."
Inuyasha sat in his signature pose, legs folded with his hands in sleeves, while he thought about this revelation. "What makes you believe that I have some sealed knowledge?"
"Lord Inuyasha, spells leave some traces in blood and normally the stronger the spell the harder it is to tell there is one. This is why I could never tell before. Also, your hanyou blood is unique which made it even harder to tell. From what I can tell, whoever put the spell on you knew exactly what they were doing and had enough knowledge to hide it extremely well. It also tastes like a very old spell and it may have been cast around 50 years ago."
"What!!!!!!!!" Birds flew. Leaves were blow by the wind. Kagome was sitting with the group and asked, "Was that Inuyasha?"
"Look let's talk about this later because if I stay too much longer my friends are going to try to find me," Inuyasha said, "But if you breathe one word about this, I'll squish into oblivion."
----------
"Inuyasha and Myouga have been gone for a while," Shippo said.
Inuyasha comes in the hut. He goes to the corner and sits down.
"Inuyasha, would you care to enlighten us on today's events?" asked Miroku.
"Inuyasha, what is going on?" Kagome then asked.
"Apparently I have spiritual powers," Inuyasha stated bluntly.
"Well then it is just as I thought, but now the question is where they came from. Unless you have been hiding them from us the entire time," said Miroku.
"Think what you want, but I didn't know about them until today. In a way it makes sense, after all, my mother was a powerful miko," said Inuyasha.
"I have a question. How can you have both spiritual and demonic powers? Wouldn't the spiritual powers constantly try to purify you?" asked Kagome.
Everyone sat in silence.
"You don't know do you," Shippo said.
"Feh. I'm going hunting I'll be back in a few hours," said Inuyasha.
