Chapter 4
AN: I am not giving away any clues. I like originality and that is all I am going to say. When I sit down and write I try my hardest to think of things that have never been done before. Thanks for the reviews! You are two reviewers are the only reason I continue!
I write because I like to. But it is discouraging when no one reviews, so I thank you.
Sorry for the typos. I have a lot on my plate, but wanted to post this tonight, since if I forget to do it tonight, I probably won't get to it for another month or so.
Flash back to inside Kagome's head during the battle (Kagome doesn't remember)
Naraku had totally engulfed Kagome. She could feel the dark energy that was trying to pulsate into her body. She could feel the power of the Jewel start to grow cold.
This can't be happening! I can't let this happen.
She felt herself being taken over by the demon. But something was different about her energy, her spiritual energy. She could feel it growing stronger, it felt so warm against the cold darkness around her. Her hear started to beat faster as she thought about the warmth that her spirit was emanating. She could feel the power of the jewel; she could feel the purity of her soul cleansing it.
No mater how much dark jayki energy the demon tried to use against her, the jewel seemed to suck it in and purify it. She felt her soul calling to her. It was calling out to her, beckoning her.
Inside herself it was speaking to her, asking her, what was her hearts desire?
""your hearts desire""
What is my hearts desire?
Back to present
"I don't have the Jewel." Kagome replied a little shakily.
Everyone looked around panic stricken.
"Maybe it was destroyed?" Miroku said hopingly.
"That would just be too easy, don't you think." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Can you feel the jewel? Sango asked.
Kagome shook her head.
"Well there is no use in worrying about it, if it shows up then we will worry about it. Is there anything else we really can do?" Kagome asked the others. They all sadly shook there heads. It was strange that the Jewel would just disappear, but stranger things had happened they supposed.
""Your hearts desire.""
"Did you hear that?" Kagome looked behind her paranoid.
"Hear what? I didn't hear anything." Inuyasha looked at her strangely.
Just great, now I am hearing things. She decided that the voice was just going to have to wait. She had just gotten up form a sixteen day nap and wasn't ready to think about voices.
"Inuyasha, I haven't been home for a while, so would you mind if we go there for a day or two. I know my mother must be worried. I am not normally gone for more than a week or so without checking in." She asked him very nicely.
"Keh."
"Aren't you worried about the well Kagome?" Sango asked concerned.
"Actually no, I know that we have gone through without the shards before, and I don't see this being any different."
$&$&$&$&$
Kagome was glad to be back home, and glad to be able to take a nice hot bath. Oh how she missed her hot baths.
"Mother I am home!"
"Kagome! I was getting so worried."
"It is finally over mother. We defeated him."
"You will have to tell me all about it dear, but first we need to get you a nice hot bath and a change into something more comfortable. I am sure you get tired of wearing your school outfit all of the time."
Kagome smiled. Yes it was good to be home.
After her mother had left the room, Kagome turned to Inuyasha and looked at him somewhat concerned.
"Inuyasha, I don't want to tell my mother that I was unconscious for so long. She will totally freak out and I don't what to have to deal with it. I want to relax and enjoy being here."
He rolled his eyes.
"Please?"
"I won't lie to her. She deserves to know everything."
"You can be such a goodie-goodie sometimes. Fine, but if she makes your life a living hell for the next few days too don't say I didn't warn you."
$&$&$&$&$
Kagome relaxed in the bath that her mother had prepared for her. The water was so hot. It melted away all of her tension. She just laid there, letting time flow by her as the water seemed to seep into her. Her eyes closed lazily. She mindlessly let her mind wonder. Without the tension in her muscles, the blood seemed to flow a hundred times more easily to her brain. It mad her thoughts start to wonder.
It had bothered her that she couldn't remember anything about the battle. And that voice earlier, that bothered her even more.
What had it said, and why was she the only one that had heard it?
""Your hearts desire.""
She almost jumped out of the bathtub this time. She looked around again like she had earlier that day, to try and pinpoint the origin of the voice, but there was nothing there.
Oh my god this is so creepy!
She was sure about what it had said this time thought. Why was it asking her about what her hears desire? Did it have something to do with the Jewel?
What is my hearts desire? She thought.
$&$&$&$&$
It was way past dark by the time that Kagome had finished her bath. She was lounging on the sofa watching TV.
"It is boring in your time Kagome." Inuyasha pouted.
"Boring, you mean you like having demons chasing you and trying to kill you 24/7 Inuyasha? I personally like relaxing, here do you want to change the channel, I've already seen this episode of Ranma anyway."
"Ranma?"
"Yeah it's one of my favorite animes. It's about a boy that is really good at martial arts, and he changes genders with water."
He looked at her strangely. "I just can't sit here and stare at that box. It hurts my head."
She had never thought that the television would cause him any distress. She giggled a little. She had never heard of the Television making someone have a headache, well unless they watched way too much.
"I think that you just need to watch it more, I am sure your eyes are just not use to following the pictures in motion. I think that it would help if you sat further away." She giggled more, since he insisted on sitting a few feet away form the TV, while she was over six feet away sitting on the couch.
She was so relaxed like this though and she wasn't ready to give up the battle of longing around the house.
"Inuyasha, come sit next to me."
He didn't know why she was asking him to come and sit next to her, but he couldn't think of any reason good enough to refuse her. He slowly got up, and almost begrudgingly sat on the couch a few feet away form her.
"Inuyasha, can I ask you something?"
He nodded, definitely not liking the way this sounded. And he sure as hell wasn't prepared for what happened next.
"What do you want?"
