Chapter 21: Finally, Arrived
Kagome thinks that she has had enough about being in the Society that Sakura brought her to. Sure it's okay and all too get away from all the stress about being here 24/7, with no way back here, not to mention a hidden barrier around the campus prevents any student to ever leave it except the weekends and holidays. "I'll be going back to my dorm." Kagome stands up and heads for the exit. Sakura wanted to make sure that Kagome gets to her dorm safe and sound. "I might as well go back as well." She agrees and grabs her bag and head out after Kagome. Once Sakura and Kagome left the room, Miyuki and the others decide to call it a day and do the same. "Did you guys managed to sense it?" Miyuki asked one of the members. The one boy nods, "Yes, it appears that Kagome is a priestess. However, she's just a rookie and needs to control her spiritual powers. And she manages to pull it off, she could break down the barrier." He explains to the girl.
Kagome didn't mind Sakura walking with her to their dorms. It's convienent enough to the both of them that they are just across the hallway from each other. "So…" Sakura leans a little to Kagome. Kagome raised her brow. "So what?" She asks in a bit of discomfort because of the closeness between. "What do you think about the Society?" Sakura asks the obvious question. Kagome ahs, "It's great. At least there's a place other than my dorm to get away from all the drama." She replies as well smiles fondly about it. Sakura smiles back, "That's great to hear." She spoke proudly. Managing to get Kagome into it. "Miyuki seems a good member as well. Was she the same as the rest of us that came here against our will?" Kagome asks curiously.
Sakura nods with frown. "Afraid so. She is originally from Osaka. It's not that far from here and all. I'm not sure where the other members are from, and it's best we don't ask about that." She advices her. Kagome agrees with her. As far as Kagome is concerned, it's best to respect someone else's space and give them time until they're fully ready to talk. Soon enough they make it back to their dorms. "I might as well see you tomorrow." Kagome gives her good night, since it's about 9:00 pm. Sakura nods, "Yes and we need to get a good night's rest to get remember for what kind of drama will bring us." She chuckles. Kagome does the same. "I couldn't agree with you more." She comments as she enters her dorm. After she closes the door behind her, Sakura takes her time to think about Kagome's experience at the Society, but she decides to forget about it because it'd make her feel uncomfortable. She then shrugs her shoulders and goes into her dorm.
Kagome sighs deeply. "Man, I didn't expect that I would be in that room for a long time. I guess time flies when you don't realize it." She said and goes into her closet to get a pair of pj pants, and a green t-shirt. While changing in her bathroom, she brushes her teeth, wash her face, and brush her hair. But then something crossed her mind. Ever since she spent time with Sakura, she never once thought about Inuyasha throughout the time. And feel that she feels more lpnely than ever. She gets in her bed and looks out the open window. 'Inuyasha, where are you? Are you on your way to save me? From this terrible Academy that feels like a prison?' She sobs a little and goes to bed.
Kaoru comes out of his room to get himself something to drink. He spots Inuyasa and Kirara sleeping on the couch. He smiles to see such a bond between those two have. He heads into the kitche and takes out a plastic cup, thinking that wouldn't wake up the two guests. He goes to the fridge and pours out purified water from its pitcher. He puts it back and takes his drink back to his room.
After Kaoru closes the door behind him, he has no idea that once the door closed behind him Inuyasha and Kirara open one eye and nod at each other. Inuyasha finds a notepad on the counter, and pen. "We're going on ahead." He mouths his idea to the little feline who hopped onto his shoulder. He writes down the note for Kaoru, as well feeling ashsamed for doing this, but finding Kagome is first top priority. After that he and Kirara gather their belongings and sneak out of the house. Once they make a safe distance, Kirara surrounds herself in flames and grew big. Inuyasha gets onto her back, they fly off into the blacken night sky.
After for another 15 minutes, something glowing gets their attention. Inuyasha raised his eyebrow, "Got any idea what that is, Kirara?" He asks her. Kirara immediately shakes her head for a now. "Oh well, but we should get a closer look to see what that is." He suggests and they head in that general direction. Funny enough, Inuyasha pulls out the bottle of Kagome's shards. "I bet Kagome will be able to sense these." He smiles as Kirara nods in agreement.
In the middle of the night, Kagome sneezes little., which wakes her up. "Either I'm getting a cold, or someone is talking about me." She proclaims as she takes a drink of her water that sat by her bed on her night stand. Then all of a sudden she feels something familiar. "I sense the jewel shards." She said and knows for sure she didn't had them with her the entire time. "If I don't have them. I might've left them back home. But if I can sense them, where are they coming from?" She asks herself as she puts on a pair of slippers and a robe. She grabs her key card and leaves her dorm. She memorized which way to the roof is. She spots the door and slides her key card into the slot and it opens up, which surprised her. But according to Sakura, there's a few entrances that prohibit and students to slide their cards through because that would accuse them of sneaking out. 'I bet Sakura has done a few tweaks to this one' She thought with grin and goes up the stairs and out onto the roof. She looks around to see a faint glow of something. "It looks like a barrier of some sort." She said softly. She focuses her energy of a priestess to locate where the shards are coming from. She turns to the northeast and couldn't believe what she saw in the sky.
Kirara and Inuyasha came close to the glow, "Looks like a barrier to us." He said. Even in his human disguise, he can smell Kagome's lavender and cherry blossom scent. He and Kirara get closer than expected to see a person on the roof. Soon enough, Inuyasha smiles proudly to see it none other than Kagome.
Kagome drops to her knees, with tears of joy spilling out of her eyes, 'Inuyasha.' She smiles to him. 'And Kirara.' She adds. She sees them coming closer to the barrier, worried that the barrier would prevent them to get through. She stands up and points to the top of the dome. Inuyasha and Kirara follow Kagome's instructions and get to the top of the dome.
After learning from the Society, she found out that the weakest part of the barrier is at the very top. Focusing her spiritual powers, she learned a few things as well from Kaede before they confronted Naraku. Kaede taught her how to create an arrow out of her spiritual powers and shout it above yourself. Kagome positions herself as she's about to shoot the arrow. Within release a pink thin beam flies out and hits the barrier's top, leaving a hole wide enough for Inuyasha and Kirara to get in.
Kirara wasted no time to get and land in front of Kagome who falls down to her knees. Once landed, Inuyasha gets off of her back and quickly gets to Kagome and embraces her onto his lap. "Oh Inuyasha." Kagome whimpers to him as she snuggles onto his chest. Inuyasha rests his chin onto her head, "I knew I'd find you." He spoke softly as he combs her raven black hair. Kirara sits by them as she nuzzles Kagome that she missed her. Kagome giggles and strokes, "It's a good thing to see you too, Kirara." But little did either know, a surveillance camera spot them from another building close by.
