Seven Sins

"Kagome" Inuyasha said, gently shaking her. "Come on Kagome, wake up."

"Inuyasha, come on let's get her home." Miroku said.

"Hey," Sango said, out of breath. "How's Kagome?"

"No clue." Inuyasha said, picking Kagome up bridal style.

"You okay Sango?" Sango had limped over from the other side of the bridge as soon as the demons left.

"Yeah." she said, waving off Miroku's concern.

"Here." Miroku lifted Sango up off her feet. "I'll carry you."

"Come on, before they come back."

Miroku nodded his head as they headed home.

Koga watched from the bushes, about 30 feet away. Once Inu...what the hell was his name? Carried Kagome off the bridge Koga disappeared. He reappeared in front of Naraku.

"What do you mean-" Naraku stopped his yelling at Kanna, Kagura, and Yura as Koga had appeared.

"Koga, what the hell are they talking about?"

Koga glanced over at the three women, their heads hung in shame, before looking back at Naraku.

"Kagome is...I mean..." Koga looked for the words to say. "They got their Asses kicked."

Naraku shook his head, trying to remain calm. But that wasn't really working. "How the hell are my three best demons not able to take on one teenaged brat? She doesn't even know how to use her powers yet-"

"But that's the thing-" Kagura interrupted him, "Her powers operate on it's own accord. Or at least when her friends are in danger."

Naraku thought about what she said before getting up, knocking over his throne in the process, and pacing around the room, occasionally kicking table or a pot.

"Did the other's do this?" Naraku stopped his pacing and looked towards Koga for his answer.

"No. Only when person was in danger did the medallion, never for any one else."

"And she doesn't even know how to use her powers?"

"My guess is that she doesn't even know she has powers." Yura said.

"DAMN" Naraku said, breaking a pot, sand flowing down to the flow down to the floor.

"Naraku, Kagome was unconscious. If we attack now-"

"They'd be ready." He said, pacing again. "No, we have to wait, catch them off guard."

He went back over to his tipped over throne and with a snap of his fingers the throne was back on all fours.

"Kanna, Kagura, Yura, Koga, you are to watch her at all times. You learn anything and everything possible and then, we attack."

"Here Inuyasha, hold this on top of her head." Inuyasha's mom said.

Kagome laid the living room couch, unconscious. Inuyasha, kneeling beside her, grabbed the towel from his mom and place it on Kagome's forehead. Inuyasha's mom, Izayoi, got up and walked over to Sango, who was sitting in a recliner with her feet on the footstool.

"How are the feet?" Izayoi asked, removing the two bags of ice on from Sango's feet.

"All right." She replied.

"I called everyone, but I don't really-" Miroku started but was interrupted by Izayoi.

"Good, So your grandpa is coming. Sango's parents are coming. Kagome's mom and grandpa are coming, and Sota. And Inutashio and Sesshomaru are coming?" Miroku nodded his head as he leaned down by Sango.

"But why-"

"I better go check on Kagome," She said, getting up and walking away.

"-Are you avoiding my question?" Miroku added to himself.

Miroku help Izayoi place 11 chairs in the huge living room and place them in a circle. By the time they were finished everyone started arriving, one by one. As soon as they were all here and sitting in the circle (Kagome on the couch, Inuyasha in the chair next to her, Sesshomaru, Inutashio, Izayio, Sango's mom. Sango's dad, Sango in the recliner, Miroku, Miroku's grandpa, Kagome's grandpa, Sota, and Kagome's mom).

"Well, I think we all know why we're here." Izahyo said.

Everyone nodded their heads except, Sota, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Sesshomaru.

"No, we don't." Inuyasha said, looking at all the guilty faces in the room and back down to Kagome.

"Well, we're here because of Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi said. "

Then why did I have to call my-" Miroku was interrupted by Sango.

"What about Kagome?"

"How to begin?" Inutashio began, thinking. "Thousands of years ago a great battle had started. A wise sage was fighting his best student. But the student was to good, and the sage was too old, the sage was losing."

"But-" Kagome's grandpa took over, "The sage knew that if he didn't stop his student the world was in trouble. So, with his last strength, he took away his students sins. Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Sloth, and Pride."

"So what?" Inuyasha asked.

"So, the sage took away his students will." Sango said, wisely.

"Exactly" Miroku's grandpa said. "Without the sins, he just didn't care. Without the sins, he had nothing motivating him. He was just there."

"What do this have to do with Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, looking back down at her.

"When the sage took his student's sins he had to put them somewhere. So, he sealed them into little balls, called medallions, and sealed them into 7 different babies."

"So, you said that was a thousand years ago, so unless Kagome's 1015 years old, what the hell does this have to do with Kagome?" Inuyasha barked, louder.

"Patience is a virtue." Miroku's grandpa snapped.

Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and waited fir them to continue.

"The sage made the medallions dormant within the child, so evil wouldn't be able to find them. But when the child turns 15, the medallion comes out of dormancy, meaning evil is able to find it."

"And, if the evil finds the child, the medallion protects the child. So if the child was 16 and evil was attacking, the medallion would protect the child so no harm would come to the child. But, if evil takes the medallion out of the child, the medallion is no longer able to protect the child." Kagome's grandpa said.

"But, if the evil kills the child, without the medallion within the child, the medallion will disappear, and move on to it's next owner, another baby."

"So, to get the medallions, you have to take it out of the person and keep the person alive forever?" Sota asked, though he really didn't understand any of this.

"No, not forever." Inutashio explained. "Just until the evil has all seven medallions. If evil has all seven and makes their power one, it doesn't matter if the child dies, because the medallion is no longer part of the child, the medallion would be part of the evil."

"That's a nice story and all, but what does this have to do with KAGOME?" Inuyasha asked, yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Kagome holds a medallion within her." Sango snapped, moving her attention from the two old men to Inuyasha and back. "But which one?"

"Kagome holds within her Pride."

"Sango, you don't really believe this, do you?" Miroku asked.

"It's true," the old men snapped.

"And, if my calculations are correct, evil already has 6 of the 7 medallions, meaning-"

"Meaning, Kagome's is the only one left." Sango finished.

Everyone turned the gazes on Kagome.

"And evil's found her." Sesshomaru stated.

"So Kagome's in danger?" Miroku asked, trying to follow along.

"Yes, she's in a lot of danger." Izayoi stated, tearing her eyes away from her Kagome to look at Miroku. "And there's nothing we can do to protect her."

"What?" Inuyasha yelled. "Of course there is."

"No, no matter what we do, evil is going to find her, and one day, when the time comes, she'll have to fight."

"No." Inuyasha said shaking his head. "NO. There is no way I'm letting Kagome do this."

"You don't have a choice." Izahyo said gently.

"There's always a choice." Inuyasha shouted.

"I'm with Inuyasha." Miroku said, jumping to his feet and moving toward Inuyasha. "We have to do something. Kagome can't fight."

"Yeah." Sota said jumping up to move by Inuyasha and Miroku.

"I agree." Sesshomaru said moving to stand by his little brother.

"Me too." Sango said getting up and moving in front of Kagome with the others 9though Miroku helped her a little bit).

"You fools." The old men said shaking their heads. "We're not just going to send her into a battle empty handed. We're going to train her to use her powers."

"This is her destiny, Inuyasha. She needs to do this." Kagome's mom said gently.

"This is stupid." He yelled marching out of the room. Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru, and Sota followed him, not wanting to hear anymore of it.

"That went well." Inutashio said with a sigh.

"Come on, let's get Kagome upstairs." Izayoi said.

Inutashio got up and picked Kagome up. He carried her up to Inuyasha's room and laid her on the bed.

"You'll be ok Kagome." he said, brushing back her bangs from her eyes. He got up and left the room.

'I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored!' Kagome kept chanting within her head.

Kagome sat in a black room, her knees pulled up close to her chest. She had been in that room forever, and the worst part is that her eyes wouldn't open.

'I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored! I'm Bored!'

"Then open your eyes." called the same voice from earlier.

Kagome tried to find the source of the voice, but her eyes were closed.

"I can't." she said, hoping the voice would hear her.

"Yes, you can."

Kagome sighed and tried to open her eyes. It didn't work. "I told you."

"Try again."

So she did. Nothing happened. "Told you."

"TRY AGAIN."

She sighed and concentrated. And this time, when she tried to open her eyes, they floated open.

"Told you," said the voice, though it was hard to hear and only getting harder.

Alright, confusing? I hope not. I don't know, was this to long? It's just, when I start writing this story I never want to stop. Oh well. What do you think? Good? Bad? Confusing? Understandable? Tell me! Till next time…
