Otose: Oh I love you all! Thank you for the reviews and suggestions! Ok first suggestion from kcneuer: More action. Will do, juts thought of writing a calm chapter because I was away for so long.
Next! Xireana: I love the idea about Shippo, thought the other one I'm not so sure about, until I went over the end for the story with my cousins, and thought that it could fit their. So it might be awhile till you see that happen.
Roger: With that taken care of, let's get this chapter started!
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
"Kagome look out!" Goku shouted warning the miko. Kagome turned and shot an arrow at the demon.
"Thanks Goku." Kagome shouted firing another arrow.
"Where are these guys coming from?" Gojyo shouted, blocking an attack.
"I don't know, but I suggest shutting your mouth and use the energy to fight." Sanzo said reloading his gun.
Hakkai looked around; they had been going at this for two days! He could see that everyone was getting tired, especially Kagome, who wasn't use to fighting for such a long period of time.
"Kagome!" shouted Goku in horror.
Everything slowed down, as they watched a demon swipe at her, cutting her side.
"Ahh!" Kagome shouted falling to the ground and grabbing her side, her hands getting bloody.
"Kagome!" Sanzo shouted as he stared at the demons in anger.
"This shit ends now." He said grabbing his sutra and started to chant, and unleashed the sutra's power, destroying the demons. He looked around and his eyes landed on Kagome.
'Kagome' he thought running to her, Hakkai, Goku, and Gojyo already by her side.
"How is she?" Sanzo said looking at her. Goku was holding her head in his lap, Hakkai using his healing powers on her wound.
"It was deep, but luckily it didn't hit any important part, and she stopped the bleeding enough, to slow it down and make it less major." Hakkai said, grabbing bandages that Gojyo brought him, wrapping Kagome's side. She winced.
"There, she should be fine now." Hakkai said standing up. Everyone nodded. Hakuryu transformed into a jeep, Sanzo picked up Kagome and set her gently down in the jeep, the other's behind him. They made sure that she was in a comfortable position and drove off.
*With the Inuyasha gang*
"Inuyasha are you sure about this?" Sango asked following him, Miroku and Shippo behind.
"Of course I'm sure!" he shouted at the slayer. Sango gave a worried look, what if this witch did something? Would she even help them?
"Don't worry Sango, we'll get Kagome back." Shippo said hopping onto her shoulder. She looked at the fox kit and smiled.
"Thank you Shippo." She said, while they continued on their way towards the witches' house.
After traveling for an hour they reached the witch house. Miroku called out.
"Hello! Is anyone home?" he shouted.
"Yes! Come in!" A voice answered. They looked at each other and nodded, for Kagome they thought and went in the old looking building. They saw the witch sitting in the middle of the old hut. She had gray hair, like a rainy gray sky, in a braid. She wore a lavender Kimono with golden petals on it. Her eyes were brown, a dark brown, like a tree's bark.
"How can I help you children?" She said looking at each of them.
"We were wondering if you could help us find our friend." Miroku said, bowing to his elder. She smiled and nodded.
"Of course children, but do you have something to pay with?" She asked.
Miroku rummaged through his robes and brought out some money.
"Will this be enough?" he asked, hoping the witch would say yes. She looked and nodded.
"Sit and tell me about your friend, and I'll see what I can do." They sat and told her about Kagome.
"I see," Said the old witch giving a thoughtful look. Shippo walked up to her.
"Yes, young one?" she said looking at him.
"What's your name?" He asked. The witch chuckled and patted him on the head.
"You all can call me Yan Mei" she said.
*With the Saiyuki group*
Within the hour Kagome had come to.
"Ow." Kagome winced, her side hurting her.
"Kagome, you shouldn't move." Goku said worried about her. she smiled and laid back down.
"So how long till the next village?" Kagome asked.
"Not another 2 days I'm afraid." Hakkai said. Everyone groaned. After driving for another hour, they stopped and set up camp.
"Hakkai?" Kagome asked.
"Yes? What is it?" Hakkai said looking at her.
"Well I was wondering, if you could teach me how to develop my miko powers?"
Hakkai smiled.
"Well I'm not too sure about that, but, gladly. I'm sure I can teach you, are abilities might be similar in training."
Kagome smiled, "Thank you Hakkai!"
"No problem, since we're done now, would you like to start?"
"Yea!"
Hakkai led her to a quitter side of the camp and had her concentrate on her powers.
"Remember focus, focus on where you're feeling your miko energy." Hakkai said sitting on the ground next to her. She nodded in understanding.
Goku watched them and went back to playing his Gameboy, while the sun was out.
"What are they doing?" Gojyo asked lighting his smoke.
"Hakkai is teacher her how to use her priestess abilities." Sanzo said reading a newspaper.
"Oh."
Kagome snapped her eyes open, "I-I feel my powers!' Kagome said to Hakkai. He nodded.
"Ok, now try calling it out and try forming an orb, like what I do with my chi." Said Hakkai.
Kagome nodded, closed her eyes and did as she was told.
She felt her power; it was warm, loving, and pure. She smiled, feeling her power, she felt rush through her and felt it collecting itself in her hand.
"That's it, you're doing great Kagome." Hakkai encouraged her. She was doing great; he could see her miko energy forming into an orb in her hand.
"Stop, ok now, open your eyes."
She did and saw her hand filled with a soft pink orb. She gasped in amassment, she did it! She actually did it!
"Now, slowly start putting back your energy" Hakkai instructed. Kagome toke a deep breath and slowly and calming started calling her power back into herself. She smiled when she had done just that.
Both stood up.
"Thank you Hakkai!" Kagome said hugging him, "Thank you for teaching me, hopefully you'll teach more." She said. Hakkai patted her back.
"Of course, you did great!" he said stepping back and giving her one if his rare true smiles.
Goku ran over, "Hey Kagome! Can you show me what you can do?"
"Of course Goku." Kagome smiled, summoning her powers and forming an orb.
"Wow." Goku said in amazement, he can feel the warmth and love radiating with pureness. Kagome giggled and summoned it back into herself.
"I'm going to start on dinner." She announced getting a fire started.
"Can I help" Goku asked.
"Of course, just don't eat it all first!"
"Ok."
Sanzo watched from above his newspaper and started to read it again. She was indeed a good influence on this team. She was like a mother to Goku, and a little sister to both Hakkai and Gojyo, the type they would kill to protect her. He smirked, now she was learning to develop her abilities, good that meant if something happened, she could take care of herself. Still he wondered how long they would exactly have her, with them, with him.
He sighed, "Dinner's ready!" He heard her announce. He got up and got his share.
"Amazing as always." Hakkai said taking a bite, Goku nodding quickly his agreement.
"Foods great." Sanzo said.
"Thanks." Kagome said.
After dinner and everything was cleaned up, everyone was getting ready for bed. Kagome was outside leaning against a tree, looking up at the stars.
"Kagome?"
Kagome turned and saw it was Goku.
"Yes Goku?"
"Aren't you coming to bed?"
"Yea, I just wanted to see the stars for s bit. Here sit with me." She told him patting the spot next to her. He nodded and sat next to her.
"The stars are pretty tonight." She commented. Goku hummed his agreement, enjoying the time he was getting with Kagome. He yawned.
"Goku, if you're tired go to bed, it's alright."
"No, I wanna watch the start *yawn* with you."
She giggled, she moved Goku a bit so that he was leaning against her, and she started to smooth his head down. Goku gave a sleepy smile, this felt nice. Soon he fell asleep.
Kagome looked down at him, she smiled, he reminded her so much of Shippo.
"Hey."
Kagome looked up and saw Sanzo.
"Hello, what are you still doing up?" She asked in a teasing tone.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." He said smirking.
"Want to sit with us?" She asked patting the open spot next to her. he sat next to them.
"So what are you doing out here?" He asked.
"Goku and I wanted to see the stars." She said. He nodded and both looked at the sky. He felt Kagome lean on him. He smiled inwardly and shifted his around her shoulders. Kagome moved Goku a little so that he was on her lap and his head on Sanzo's chest.
Hakkai and Gojyo looked out the tent window.
"They sure look like a nice family." Gojyo said smiling.
"Indeed they do." Hakkai said agreeing with his friend.
A family indeed.
*With the Inuyasha Gang*
"Is it ready?" Inuyasha asked impatiently.
Yan Mei chuckled softly, "Yes, it is ready." She said handing the potion to Sango.
"Now," She instructed, "Pour the potion on one of her belongings and chant her and name and say 'come to us'."
Everyone nodded and thanked the witch.
