Its more than a year since I last updated this and Im so sorry. Things haven't been going that great and I had to get my priorities straight. Things are ok now and I figured I should get this done since quite a few people like this story so here goes ch 11. I'll try my best to update every Thursday night until this story is done. Who knows if all gets better i just might start another one :D
Later that night
The humans slept the ninja patrolled as always. Kagome had plotted out a new assignment for both teams. For each location that they patrolled Kagome divided into three sectors and two people we assigned to a sector. As much as she hated it Kagome had to pair up with Kouga. Sango wanted to work with Kohaku and Souta wanted to work with Shippou. Each group took their positons and began to patrol. Everything was calm, serene, and boring.
"I hate nights like this" muttered Kagome as she sat on a tree branch.
"Tenshi, Kappa give me a status report on Sector Charlie." Kagome mumbled over her headset
"Charlie is looking calm Shikon. No big disturbances, a few small demon but nothing we cannot handle." Replied Sota. He twirled his shinobi-zue before sitting on the floor and began muching on some Pocky he had hidden under his shirt.
"Where did you get that?" asked Shippo with a hungry look in his eyes. Kagome never allowed him to eat Pocky and if she caught Sota eating some...all hell would break loose.
"Sneaked it in from the concert." Smiled Sota "You want some?" Shippo felt like he was doing drugs when he snatched the sweet stick from Sota's hand. The two boys sat happily and ate the forbidden food all the while looking over they're shoulder to make sure Kagome didn't catch them.
"Miko, Oni how is Sector Bravo?"
"Everything is great Shikon all quiet on the western front" Chirped Sango. She and Kohaku were playing Go Fish on the floor. It was their favorite game to play together since they were young. For them it was time for bonding and catching up.
"What's the deal? Why have we not met any challenges these past few days?" Kagome thought "Its too easy...almost like they're trying to put us in a false sense of security. Its too quiet..." Kagome tried to get comfortable on the branch but felt so uneasy. Like if something huge was about to happen. "Kouga how is everything down there?"
"All is well" he replied in a bored tone.
"well I think Im going to take a quick nap. Dont screw this up ok?" She told the wolf man as she tried her best to get in a good sleeping position
"Your wish is my command Queen" He replied as he winked and blew a kiss in her direction. She scoffed then closed her eyes. Slowly she drifted into a dream.
She was in dark room. Her demon vision wouldn't even allow her to see what was around her. "Hello?" Her voice echoed indicating she was in a large room. Instantly, two bright lights flashed to reveal two figures. The light blinded her momentarily once she regained her vision she realized the two figures were men. One light had a tall man with dark black spikey hair, black wings, black pants with red clouds, and a black tattoo glowing on his chest and right arm with a purple aura. The other had a tall man with silver hair silver wings silver pants with blue clouds and the same tatto in the same location glowing with a red aura.
She was so confused. She didnt know who they were. It made no sense. The man in black's mouth didnt move but she knew he was talking for some strange reason.
"He is more like me than you think Kagome...I love you" with that the dark figured evaporated into a purple mist and traveled to the man in silver. The man in silver closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, taking the purple mist in with him. He opened his eyes to reveal his amber eyes glowing.
"He has never left you. He will always be with you." The silver man disappeared as well, leaving Kagome alone in the room. She was confused and scared at the same time. The room was painfully quietly. She just stood there trembling when out of nowhere a big booming voice began laughing.
"KAGOOOOME!" the voiced jeered in a crackly voice "KAGOME KAAAAGOOOOOMEEEE KAGOME!!!"
"KAGOME WAKE UP! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" Kouga yelled as he dodged another blow. Kagome was jolted awake to find Kouga fighting a huge panther demon. Kagome jumped off the branch and pulled her katana out. She slashed the blade towards the panther but missed. The panther snarled and snapped at Kagome as she turned to face him again. The panther lunged towards Kagome but was met with a strong kick to the head.
"Kouga!!! Behind him NOW!" she ordered as the demon pounced again making them both fall to the ground. Kouga positioned himself behind the panther and had his katana ready as he waited impatiently. The panther got closer and closer to Kagome's face as she tried her best to push him off. It swiped at her leaving a deep cut on her left arm and a scratch on her face in the process. "Bastard" She growled as she mustered up the strength needed to push the panther off making him land on Kouga's katana. The katana pierced the panther through the gut and it howled in pain. Kagome got up, wiped the blood from her face then lopped off the panthers head in one blow. The panthers body went limp and fell to the ground. Blood sprayed onto Kouga and Kagome but it did not bother them, they were used to it. Kouga yanked his katana out of the panther and shaked the blood off. They both spat on the body and sighed heavily as the other ninja appeared to see what had happened. They explained to the team before Kagome called it a night.
"I dont smell anymore youkai lets get some rest and meet up at dawn" she said as she wiped some of the blood of her face and sighed heavily. The team agreed and headed towards their rooms. As Kagome walked to her room she remembered the dream. "What could it possible mean?" she thought as she quietly walked up the steps to her room
"He is more like me than you think Kagome...I love you"
"He has never left you. He will always be with you."
She shook the thought out of her head and showered then cleaned up her wounds. "It stings" she hissed as she rubbed peroxide on both cuts, wrapped her arm in gauze and placed a butterfly bandage on her face. "Sango and Miroku will need to check this" She looked in the mirror and examined the cut on her face. It was small and was already beginning to heal "Thank you demon genes" she thought. The one that concerned her the most was her arm. It was deep and it hurt. She sighed again and went back into her room. On her bed was a single white rose with a note. It read:
"Thank you.
-Inuyasha"
She placed the rose and note on her night stand and wrapped herself in a warm thick blanket, quickly falling asleep.
Dawn
She awoke in a cold sweat. Her heart beat rapidly and her head began to spin. "Damn arm" she cursed when she felt a shooting pain in her arm. Her bandage was soaked in blood which worried her again. "After my rounds I'll get this checked" she repeated to herself trying to calm herself down. It wasnt working. She pulled on a black tank top black pants got new bandages on and covered up with a black hoodie. She walked downstairs and chugged a glass of orange juice. It burned as it flowed down her throat but she ignored it. "I just need something in my system to calm me down" she thought as she shoved a piece of toast down her mouth. It hurt to chew. "I cant let them see me like this. Pull yourself together" She scolded herself as she jogged to the meeting point.
The others waited for her patiently at the meeting point.
"Its not like her to be late" Sango whispered as they watched their leader jog towards them
"She must be exhausted. Look at her face she's so pale!" Kouga replied. Even though the jog was short Kagome was breathing heavily and sweating profusely when she arrived.
"Kagome, are you ok?" Souta asked, worry in his voice. Kagome nodded. Her throat was clenched up she could barely speak. "What's wrong with me?" she thought She felt as though a thousand burning knives were stabbing her over and over again. She clutched her chest and doubled over. Everything went blurry, everyone's voices were distorted and slow. Within a few moments everything went black.
"Kagome!" shouted Kouga as he reached for her. She was lying on the floor motionless. Kouga picked her up and shook her. "Kagome!" He cried. No response. He grabbed her bridal style then stood up looking at the remaining team.
"I'm taking her in to see Miroku. Sango complete the rounds then come back in to help." Kouga commanded. The team nodded and went about business. Kouga sprinted back to the mansion "Kagome please...be ok."
Again I apologize for taking so long. Please RR for me and let me know where I can improve
Thanks:D
