DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN AND I NEVER SHALL!! SAD, SAD, SAD….--
Chapter 14. Something happened…something went wrong!
Kagome licked her lips, feeling adrenaline kick in. Her heartbeat was much quicker and she almost missed what Miroku said next,
"I want to apologize if I cause you any serious injuries, Kagome-chan." Miroku smiled charmingly. He did mean what he just said though; he did not want this kind, beautiful girl mad at him.
Kagome smiled softly, her hands coming up to tie her hair into a tight but low ponytail. "Arigato, Miroku-kun,"
Sesshoumaru leveled Miroku with a pointed stare, and Miroku didn't have to hear him talk to understand his sensei's message. 'Do not hold back.'
Naruto could feel his hands clenching, his heart began to beat loudly, so loud in fact, that Inuyasha's puppy ears twitched at hearing the noise.
"Oi, calm down, your wench will be fine."
Naruto gave the hanyou a glare, "Don't call Kagome-chan a wench," he snarled.
Inuyasha merely snorted, turning his head to watch the fight. Kouga stood next to him, his blue eyes attentive as he waited for the match to begin.
Kagome sucked in a deep breath and focused on listening. Her eyes would forever be useless to her, and she had learned long ago that she would need to use her other senses to be able to get through life.
Miroku closed his eyes for a minute before they snapped open and he charged, running rather quickly towards Kagome. He watched as she tensed in anticipation, before he allowed his right fist to swing forward.
Kagome let out a surprised yelp as his fist connected solidly with her jaw. She tumbled backwards, landing on her back with her legs slightly raised. Grunting, Kagome reached up to rub her now sore jaw but before she could, she felt a hard kick to her ribs. The kick sent her body rolling sideways, coming to a stop on her back.
Naruto's nails were digging into his palms, his eyes swirling red and his teeth gnashing together. His breathing was erratic and he felt Kyuubi trying to take over control of his body.
"Let me out, kit," Kyuubi snarled.
"No."
"You're going to let him mistreat her like this?!" the Kyuubi asked incredulously.
"Quiet."
Inuyasha was staring at Miroku in a complete surprise. Kouga was also staring wide-eyed, his mouth dropped open. "Man, who knew Miroku would do that to a girl?!"
Kagome's body twitched and she let out a pained groan. Sitting up slowly, she waited for Miroku to attack but when he didn't she was left to tilt her head in confusion.
Miroku was looking away. He knew he shouldn't be holding back anything, but he was feeling extremely guilty. "I will not kick you while you are down, Kagome. Please, take your time to get up, and then we shall continue."
Sesshoumaru watched with narrowed eyes as Kagome struggled to get up. "Perhaps she is not who father and I thought. Even in blindness, she should be able to hear the sounds that come from Miroku and block them in some way. Maybe she is not whom we were looking for…if that is so…then why…?' Sesshoumaru tensed suddenly.
Kagome was up. And her body was swaying dangerously.
Miroku looked over at his sensei. At Sesshoumaru's nod, he rushed towards her again, his knee connecting with her stomach and sending her flying back. Miroku narrowed his eyes and waited once again for her to steady herself.
Kagome whimpered; her eyes squeezed shut. It hurt…it hurt so much! She could hear voices in her head…she could hear what they would say…
"The poor dear…"
"She has become completely blind…she will never be able to see again,"
"This will be too hard for her. To have her family killed and her eyesight now gone…it's horrible."
"She will never become a shinobi."
"NO!"
Kagome's eyes snapped open from behind the ribbon, she could feel her hands clench and her body throb. A sudden wind picked up and her hair began to fly all over the place.
Miroku blinked and squinted, his eyes watching the dark purple swirls wrap around Kagome's body.
Naruto frowned, "Kagome?" he called out. His eyes were focused solely on her purple misted body. He felt Kyuubi growl wearily, not knowing what this aura meant.
Kagome breathed heavily, "I will become a shinobi…I won't be held down!"
Running towards Miroku in an incredible speed, she brought her knee up, connecting with Miroku's chin.
Stifling a squeak, Miroku let out a quiet curse, his bitten tongue throbbing painfully in his mouth. Spitting out some blood he watched as Kagome's fist came towards him in a fast pace and he gasped out loud when his stomach was punched with the force of a demon.
Kagome brought her other fist up, connecting this time with the side of Miroku's cheek before she slid a leg across his ankles, causing him to topple backwards. He landed in an odd position, Kagome noticed. Miroku had both his feet and his hands supporting his body up, but she could see that such a position was taking a strain on his arms.
Miroku hissed quietly, his mind in knots. 'How did she get so quick?' He watched with wide eyes as Kagome jumped high into the air, before she twirled down quickly and buried her foot into his abdomen. Crying out in pain and shock, Miroku felt his hands cave in and he landed hard on his back, rolling around in pain.
Kagome stopped, her chest heaving. A cold sweat had washed over her body and she made odd squeaking noises as she breathed. Her bangs were covering her eyes before she reached up and swept them away, taking the blue ribbon along with it.
Inuyasha bristled. What the hell had happened? Since when were the wench's eyes silver?!
Sesshoumaru, meanwhile, was smirking. 'So, father. You were right all along.'
Land of Star: Tsukikage's office
Sesshoumaru stared up at his father with slightly wide eyes.
"You cannot be serious," his voice held a small amount of astonishment.
Inutaisho hummed lowly, his eyes closed and his arms crossed. "I am. She is the one who we have been searching for."
Sesshoumaru shook his head, "Impossible," his tone was soft, but clear.
Inutaisho sighed and leveled his eldest son with a cross stare, "You doubt my word, Sesshoumaru?"
Shaking his head, although rather slowly, Sesshoumaru stood from his kneeling position.
"Very well Tsukikage-sama. If you believe you've found the last of the miko's then I will bring her back to the Village hidden in the Dusk."
Bowing low, until his father beckoned him to leave. Sesshoumaru then stood and walked out of his father's office, his eyes still a bit calculating.
Snap Back to Reality
Sesshoumaru blinked when suddenly Kagome began to play with the wind, her hands making odd and careful twitching movements.
Kagome could feel their presence behind her. Demons; a wolf, a half-breed Inu, a full dog-demon, and a fox with a human container. Her silver eyes narrowed and she smirked when her power surged into what she was doing with her hands.
A bow and arrow, made out of a light blue power stood in her hands. Turning around quickly, she shot the arrow at the one nearest to her, watching as the blue arrow pierced into the chest of the orange-clad boy.
Naruto let out a pained yelp, his body repelled backwards, the arrow's end sticking out from his jacket. Skidding to a stop, his eyes searched for Kagome and watched in surprise as the purple aura left her immediately and knocked her down, her eyes closing and her body unmoving.
"Kagome"
Then all he saw was black.
Naruto let out a gasp as he sat up, before groaning in pain as the muscles in his chest contracted. Looking around, he saw only Kagome. She was huddled over his abdomen, her raven black hair spilling down his legs. She had changed, he noticed. She wore a long and light sleeping yukata, white in color, no doubt one of her mothers. To his pleasant surprise, she also wore his black and orange jacket.
Smiling gently, Naruto stroked her hair and chuckled when she twitched before she picked her head up. A white ribbon covering her eyes.
Eyes.
"Kagome?" Naruto asked gently, "Are you alright?" He wondered about what it was that had caused her to strike him with an arrow.
Kagome tilted her head, "Yes, I'm fine. My jaw has healed completely and the pain in my abdomen is fading. The question is, are you alright?"
Naruto blinked, confused to no-wits end. "I'm fine,"
Kagome sighed softly, "Your lucky…that arrow almost pierced your heart."
Her small and delicate pale hand ghosted over his stitched up tan chest. The wound close to his heart, indeed. She ran her slim fingers over his scar and sighed, beginning to pull her hand away. A tanned hand came up to grab her's and it set them both on the rapidly beating heart of the blonde.
"I'm not so sure it didn't…" Naruto whispered. He watched as she blushed before lowering her face down to his. Leaning up, their lips met in a sweet kiss and his arms came up to wrap around her waist.
When they had pulled away, Naruto leaned back into the pillow, "Kagome…why did you shoot it at me?" he asked, referring to the arrow.
Kagome shook her head, "But…I didn't-"
CRASH!
"She managed to wound you, dobe? You must have gotten weaker since our time together."
Naruto stared at the window, his stomach dropping heavily. The window was now glass-less, the Uchiha on his knee in the middle of the room, a taunting smirk on his lips.
"Sasuke."
