CHAPTER 10: Healing can Show True Feelings
Kagome got up after everything was done. It was about midnight now. The sea was calm. The huge hut was destroyed. She looked around for the others. About an hour went by before she had pulled them from the boards. They were all breathing. Miroku and Inuyasha were bleeding. Not a death threat but needed to be treated. Sango had a sprained foot. Kirara didn't have anything wrong with her but Kagome told her not to walk a lot. Kagome searched for Kagura. There was no sign of her. Kagome turned to the sound of boards breaking. She saw Kagura. She was bleeding badly.
Kagura "Kagome. Please forgive me." Kagome walked over to her, "Why should I? You killed my mother." Kagura "Naraku, he ordered me. I would have lost my life." Kagome "Like you are now?" Kagura "You set me free Kagome. I can die in peace knowing that I am no longer alive and working by his side." Kagome "Kagura." Kagura "No! Don't try to save me. I wish to die. I can now be the wind and blow freely. Let me touch your sword." Kagome bent down and let Kagura touched it. It began to glow. Kagura "All my powers my fan had are now in your sword. Use then wisely Kagome." With those as her last words, Kagura turned into feathers. The wind carried them across the ocean. Kagome look up. The star that always shined for her was there. Kagome got up and pulled out her flute and played it. (It only plays the first minutes and two seconds of it 1:02 and the last 25 seconds of it. Cause it's the flute part.) Inuyasha awoke to the flute playing. He saw Kagome playing the flute as a huge creature arose from the water and a dragon with it. That was all he saw and heard before passing out.
Sango awoke early morning. Inuyasha, Miroku, and her were bandaged up. Kirara was wrapped too. She had figured that Kagome had done this. She slowly sat up. Her foot was hurting badly. Miroku's arm was wrapped. She noticed that Miroku and Inuyasha were shirtless. Miroku looked better than ever. Sango was wearing a white kimono. The door to the hut was double wide and there was no sliding door. Sango could hear someone coming. The sun had risen so Inuyasha and Kagome were in the half demon forms. Kagome had walked in, "I see you're up Sango." Sango "Yes. Where are we?" Kagome "An island." Miroku "Your island?" Kagome put the herbs down, "You can say that." She was wearing a long dark blue skirt that went to her ankles. Around the waist was a red long tie (Like Sesshomaru's yellow one) She wore a white kimono that went to her thighs which was covered by the skirt. She wore a timber wolf gray under kimono. It had dark blue on the shoulders, and the tips of the sleeves.. Inuyasha only gazed at her. It had fit her curves and chest. Her skirt wasn't tight on her, it flared out. Miroku "Kagura's dead?" Kagome "Yes. She passed away. After the fight." Kagome moved towards Sango to change the wrapped around her foot. Miroku smirked "I notice that Inuyasha and I are shirtless. Did you see anything you liked." Inuyasha "Miroku!" Sango "You pervert!" Kagome laughed "Don't flatter yourself. I had Kina and undress from the waist down." Miroku "What? A dragon undressed me?" Inuyasha chuckled, "At least you got someone to do it." Miroku "Just my luck." Sango "If I could walk right now, I'd hit you." Kagome tapped Miroku with the end of her fan. Sango "Thank you." Kagome laughed "My pleasure." Inuyasha "How far are we away from Totsai's." Kagome "A month." Sango "A month?" Inuyasha "What about Kikyo?" Kagome "Feh. The dirt was already worn. All it takes is water, which I'm sure Totsai has freed her already. So relax." Inuyasha "Why do have two nights of becoming human?" Kagome sat down, Kina on her shoulder, "My grandmother was a priestess, my mother was one as well." Miroku "There for you have powers." Kagome "Correct." Sango "But you can't use them if you a half demon, can you?" Kagome "My mother taught me how to bend. The ground, wind, water, and fire." Inuyasha "I get it. If you used your powers for defense, you'd purify yourself." Kagome shook her head yes. Sango " About how long do you think it would take to heal?" Kagome "Your foot should be better by tomorrow. Miroku's arm will take another two days to heal. Inuyasha should be better by tomorrow. Inuyasha "I feel fine already." Kagome "Then get up." Inuyasha slowly got up but, sat back down. Kagome "That's what I thought." Inuyasha "Yea well." Kagome got up and walked out of he hut. She walked into the forest.
Kanna felt something within her heart. It was sadness. Kagura was now gone. She truly didn't have anyone now. She felt all alone. She stared at the sky. She was hoping that Kagura would jump down from her feather right now and tell her hello. But it never came. She felt something wet against her cheek. Tears. She put her hands to her face to wipe them away.
Kagome 'How dare he! I am being so nice to these people and all he wants to do is go off to his little whore! Wait?! Why do I care? I can't like him, can I? I mean sure I'm different but, he already has that whore of a priestess. Maybe I should return and checkup on them'
Sango " Inuyasha." Inuyasha "What!" Miroku "You can never be nice, can you?" Inuyasha "I can." Sango "Then show it at least. She's going through all this trouble to help us and you're being yourself." Inuyasha "Shh. She's coming."
Kagome stepped back into the hut. She had been gone for a good 30 minutes. Kagome "So can you tell me about Naraku?" Inuyasha "How do you know him?" Kagome "I never met him until a couple of days ago. But he was in a under a baboon suit and mask. My mother fought him one time."
Kanna stood in front of a grave. She was told to gather the soul of this person. This person would be able to help Naraku. This person had a very strong will and soul, it would be hard to control. Kanna "There is no soul here Naraku." Naraku chuckled "Clever. Very clever. I know where it is now." Kanna and Naraku disappeared.
Night was now upon the gang. Sango and Miroku were asleep. Inuyasha woke up every now and then. He hardly slept while they were traveling and now he had time to catch up on it. But he couldn't. He kept looking Kagome's way. She sat in the corner. She held her sword like he did when he sat up to sleep. 'I haven't felt this way since I met Kikyo. Can it be that I like Kagome? It can't be. I'm with Kikyo. Though Kikyo isn't into me anymore. Can it be that Kikyo is really cheating on me? Do I have feelings for Kagome?
