High School Drama

Chapter 37: Dark Mikos

Recap

Inuyasha's foot pressed the pedal harder. "Why not?"

"She isn't a dark miko. Kagome isn't evil enough to pull off a dark spell like that."

"But what happens if she is?"

The black candle flickered in the light breeze, then went out.

End Recap

When Kagome came to, it was still dark in the room, but she could feel her powers coursing through her veins. She was more powerful than she ever had been in her entire life, and it felt good. She heard a car pull up outside and knew instantly, without putting any effort in, that it was Inuyasha, Sango, and Sesshomaru. She knew that Inuyasha was driving, and Sango and Sesshomaru were in the backseat. Sesshomaru was hyperventilating because she was worried about her. Kagome scoffed. There was no need to worry about her. She was strong, she would make it. If anything, it was insulting that Sesshomaru was even worried about her.

Outside of the house, they felt Kagome's aura. It was larger than they'd ever felt it and they could practically taste the taint in it.

"Oh dear kami she did it." Sango said.

"Well at least she survived." Inuyasha replied.

"That may not be permanent."

"Then let's go!" Inuyasha hurried out of the car and Sesshomaru had finally come to.

"Are we here?" He asked drowsily.

Sango nodded. "What happened to you?"

"The connection that we share is strong enough that I felt her aura shifting and changing. It was too powerful for me to handle through the connection." He admitted, though he didn't want to. There was no way that something was too powerful for Sesshomaru to handle. It was impossible! Which only meant that Kagome was a force to be reckoned with. This was going to be really bad.

Before Inuyasha could enter the house, a barrier was placed around the entire thing. He was knocked backwards at the sheer force and power the erected barrier gave off.

"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked, before charging head first into the barrier.

"No! Inuyasha don't do that! That barrier has enough strength to kill you just from contact!" Sango warned him.

Inuyasha skidded to a halt before he hit the barrier. "How do you know this?"

Sango sighed. "Because I paid attention when I was little! Damn! Sesshomaru, are you feeling any better?"

Sesshomaru nodded, and stood on his own two feet and stopped leaning on Sango for support.

"Good, because we need you. Now, this is more than likely going to hurt, but you and I are the only ones that could possibly get through this barrier. I may be able to get through because of the blood bond, you may be able to because you two are courting, and you've said it yourself that the bond is strong, right?"

"Yes. Tell me what I must do." Sesshomaru didn't care if this would kill him. He only wanted Kagome to be safe.

"You have to place a handprint of your blood on the barrier." Sango said.

"That's it?" He asked.

"For you, yes. I am the only one who can say the spell to possibly get us in. You ready?"

He nodded again. They stepped forward and approached the barrier, while Inuyasha stepped back. Before they could begin the process, the barrier fell. "When we enter, be very careful. Kagome may not be in control of all of her powers just yet." Sango warned.

"Of course I'm in control of my powers Sango. How could you even think that?" Kagome stepped outside of the house. Her hair was darker, and so was her aura. Her eyes, they held a mysterious hue in between blue and gray.

"Kagome...why did you do this?" Sango asked.

"You know why. I can't beat her unless I'm stronger than her." Kagome answered.

"You were already stronger than her." Inuyasha said.

"Bullshit!" Kagome spat. "I've seen what her new powers can do, and I refuse to remain in fear that she just may decide to come back and try to kill me again."

"Kagome," Sesshomaru's voice was soft when he called her.

Kagome snapped her head to him, anger evident in her eyes. It then softened to show the love and care she held for him.

"We would have helped you." He told the girl he loved.

Kagome was shaking her head. "No. No. I can't let you all risk that. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something ever happened to any of you."

"What is your plan now Naraku?" Kikyo asked her master, the man that she followed.

"Now, we wait." The devious spider haynou answered.

"Wait for what?"

"Did you not say that Kagome is brave enough to face you on her own? We must wait on her to do that." Naraku answered. He was proud of his work. After Kagura had failed him, he knew that he needed someone else to serve under him. And Kikyo did that in many ways. He'd created the alias Ayako because he wanted to see how the school would react to the fresh meat, and see if she could worm her way into the hearts of the tachi that he despised the most. But of course Kikyo had to fuck up by being mean to Kagome. Then again, he found that he could use that to his best interest. He sat back with the reigns in his hands and watched Kikyo play her little role.

Now, she was a powerful dark miko, thanks to him. And soon, so very soon, he would have Kagome in his hands, and the mutt wouldn't be a problem of his any longer.

Kikyo gasped as a chill came over her.

"What is it?" Naraku asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing. Just a little chilly."

Naraku looked at Kikyo, but didn't say anything, even though he had a small inkling of negativity about something...he just didn't know what it was.
