Chapter 12: Why…hello eavesdropper…
---
Kagome had been training for a few hours…and only mastered making an arrow.
"Now…I think we need to meditate more." Sayona said. "It could help to find the very center of your power. I think…no, I know that we have only grazed the top. In order to be able to access your power at anytime, ye need to learn how to control it, and learn how to use it. Now hurry off to the river."
"Yes ma'am." Kagome said, walking beside Sayona to the river.
"I want you to sit on that rock under the waterfall." Sayona said, then smiled. "Just a distraction."
'Gee…glad this will be amusing to you…'
"When under, ye should know what to do from there. Just try to find the center of your power."
"Alright…" 'This is gonna be cold…' Kagome sighed, getting into the cold water and onto the rock.
Concentrating on finding her power source, Kagome found a big blue sphere fling in front of her. 'Okay…now to get to the center…' She unconsciously put her hand on it, and all the power started to become absorbed into her. A searing pain rang into her hand, throughout her body, and she had a very strong earge to scream, but held it in.
On the outside, Kagome seemed to be doing fine. Sayona, while watching Kagome, said "Inutaisho…I know ye are there. Why don't ye come out?"
Inutaisho walked out of the woods, next to Sayona. "How long have you known I was there?"
"For quite some time…Ye came to watch Kagome, I see." Sayona said, turning her head to him. "Do ye like her?"
"Why is it everyone is asking that?" He asked, plopping down to the ground, trying to sit in the same position as Kagome. "And this is uncomfortable."
"Quit your whining, it's supposed to be. Also, you two…it seems like ye are happy with each others company. Ye look more alive when ye are with, or talk about each other. That is why." She said, looking down at him. "Now shut up and watch her." She turned back to Kagome.
Inutaisho looked at Kagome. "Why is she glowing blue?" He asked skeptically.
"That is her power. She is learning from herself, how to control it. Be careful, and for now, don't get to close." She warned.
Inutaisho nodded, staring at the still glowing Kagome. Her hair, and body, that was once wet, was now dry. Her hair flew around her, and her clothes flapped in a non existent wind. Her face was set into a peaceful, yet determined expression, with a hint of pain. Her hand had started to turn a darker blue by the second.
"If need be, I suggest ye get ready to run."
"Why?"
"If she cannot control it, then her power will flare. Sending any demons that are within a hundred mile radius, to the very depths of hell…or dust…whichever it is." She said shrugging.
Kagome's power started to extend it's self, gently touching Inutaisho's non armored arm. Burning it only a little, it seemed to have recognized him, and backed off slightly. Though when pulled back to the body of Kagome, it seemed to try and struggle, then gave up, and allowed it's self to be pulled back into Kagome.
"I suggest ye go and catch her." Sayona said. "I'll see ye back at my hut." Then turning away, she started walking back.
Inutaisho quickly ran to Kagome when she started to fall off the rock. Before she hit the water, he caught her. Picking her up bridal style, he made sure that her head was leaning on his shoulder and her hands her on her stomach, and not hanging down. Satisfied that she was in his grip well enough, he quickly went to Sayona's hut. Meeting her a little ways off and walking with her.
They made it to Sayona's in no time. Inutaisho set Kagome down on one of the mats, and walked to the wall. Sayona walked up to Kagome and looked at the hand that had been glowing brighter than the rest of her body…her right hand. She picked it up and looked at the palm. Seeing some burnt flesh on her palm, Sayona grabbed a few herbs and began to take care of the burn wound.
Kagome woke up a few minutes later, sitting up and looking around the room. "Wh-oh."
"Glad to see ye awake, Kagome. How is your arm?" Sayona asked, while making some soup.
"Fine, just a bit sore…" She turned around, only to be nose to nose with Inutaisho. She gasped, and fell back onto her hands. "My god…don't do that!" She yelled, holding a hand over her chest. "You scared me…"
"But you knew I was here." He stated.
"Yes, but not that close!"
"Kagome, do ye feel different?"
"Yeah…I know what is all around me now…and I know what movement is going on from farther away…wow…"
"Then, I think ye have fully gotten into your miko powers."
"Really?"
"That's what she just said." Inutaisho butted in.
"Shut up, I know that." Kagome defended, looking back at Inutaisho.
"Well, are ye hungry?" Sayona asked, filling up three bowls.
"Of course she is. She had just passed out from controlling her powers."
"Inutaisho…" Kagome trailed off annoyed.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Shut up."
He pouted, then walked outside.
Kagome sighed, while Sayona chuckled. "Quite amusing. Ye do realize he is interested in ye, do ye not?"
Kagome blinked. "He does?"
Sayona laughed. "Ye tune out of a lot of things, don't ye?"
"Sorta…"
"Here ye are. How would ye like to try and make a bow and arrow after we eat?"
"Ummm…I don't know…"
"You should try it" Inutaisho interrupted, poking his head in through the door way.
"Stop getting into my conversations!" Kagome yelled out, glaring defiantly at him.
"And what if I don't want to?" Inutaisho asked. You could see the playfulness in his eyes. He was very much so enjoying this.
"…Give me a day or two to come up with something…baka eavesdropping inuyoukai…" Kagome mumbled the last part, crossing her arms before picking up her soup. "Hurry and get in here if you want to eat anything."
"Coming." He said, immediately by her side after grabbing some soup.
Kagome kept on taking quick glances at him then, not sure exactly what to think. 'So he likes me and I like him…doesn't mean anything…or…I don't know…this was easier to do when I was with Inuyasha…how sad.'
'What is she thinking? How am I supposed to tell her? Grr…Got to figure out a way…roses, garden…ummm…ummm…I DON'T KNOW!' Was currently going on in Inutaisho's head. 'Damnit…I'll ask umm…Songa? No…Sango? Yeah! Sango! I'll ask her.'
"Hey…are you okay?" Kagome asked, leaning over and putting her hand on his forehead. "hmm…You don't feel warm…"
Inutaisho just stared at her. Watching her concerned face. "I'm fine…just…thinking…"
"…I guess…should we start with it yet?" Kagome said, turning to face Sayona, who was looking at them with a small knowing smile.
Nodding, Sayona said, "Hai." And they walked outside, ready to try and make a weapon again. "Now concentrate."
"Hai." Kagome concentrated on making a bow and arrow. Raising her left hand over her head, and bringing it down to stop right in front of her, straight ahead, the top to middle part of the bow formed. Then, the bottom part completed it's self and an invisible string was there. She opened her eyes and an arrow formed in her hand. She brought it onto the bow, knocking it, and shot it at the target. It wizzed by and hit the center of the target, destroying anything in it's path. "It worked…" She whispered.
"I didn't see anything besides the tree getting blown to bits." Inutaisho said, looking confused.
"Oh…but she did do it. Ye just do not have the eye sight to see it. It would be easier to see at night, for then it would glow. Ye must practice doing this while doing other things, child, for if you are in any danger, it would help a lot. Tomorrow, I want to see how ye make a sword. That will be your lesson to perfect by then. Ye may leave." Sayona said, going back inside the hut.
"Thank you very much Sayona-sensei." Kagome said from outside.
Inside the hut, Sayona smiled fondly. 'Most definitely out did whoever this Izayoi is.' Then almost laughed. 'I guess it is easy to make friends with a miko whom doesn't care who ye are. Baka Jamiko. Ye should learn what people are like before ye judge them…'
"Well…should we head back?" Kagome asked, walking over to Inutaisho.
"Hai…Kagome?" Inutaisho asked hesitantly once they started walking.
"Yes?"
"Would you…like to join me for dinner?" He asked, looking at the bright sky.
Kagome looked at him for a second, then replied. "Sure." Then they continued walking all the way back to the palace.
--Later—
Inutaisho walked up to Sango, who immediately turned to him. She was yet again, with Miroku.
"Is there something you need?" Sango asked, mentally smirking.
"Yes…where should I bring Kagome to eat…?"
"Hmmm….You got an open field that isn't too dangerous?" Miroku asked.
"Yes…"
"Does it have…lots of flowers?" Sango asked.
"And a river?" They both said at the same time.
"…Yes…"
"There is your perfect place." Sango smiled, then frowned. "You don't know what food to bring…do you?" She said in an all to serious voice.
"…"
"Don't worry! It's all covered. Now go get ready." She said, pushing him towards the hallway, from the room they were in. "Haha! I love myself!" She stated after closing the door. Everyone else, from the other now open doors looked at her. "Picture perfect!" She smirked.
