I watched InuYasha head upstairs and smiled, rubbing my cheek gently where he had placed a kiss, his words still vibrating in my ear. "Well, well Kagome it seems you and my little brother have made up reasonably well." He said looking up at the stairs then back at me. "Yeah but it's just hard to believe it's his real feelings this time and not Miroku playing Puppet Master." I said. "Hmm good point. Well what are you thinking?" I shrugged and smiled a bit. "I'm beginning to think I should trust him once more." I said with a tiny smile. "Well now that I know your true feelings allow me to tell you something. My brother is not very good at expressing his emotions because of his hard life. No parents and worst off being a half-breed; he learned to hide everything inside his heart. Only two people were ever able to access some of that hidden emotions and love; Kikyo and you. You seem to, however, mean more to him then Kikyo. He never acted this way when he and Kikyo fought and believe me they fought a great deal. He would usually hole up in his room and listen to music or call Miroku to work on a song he had written or decided to cover. With you he hasn't stopped trying to make up with you. I smell and sense something on my brother I have not smelled or sensed in a very long time and that is happiness; his happiness and his love. It has never been this strong. I think our father could sense it when InuYasha was young which is why he pushed InuYasha's mother to allow him around you. I sense a connection between you two. I heard about the morning InuYasha was shot you were awoken by the same pain. That is a sure sign of some type of connection." He said. I felt my heart inflate with so much hope I thought it would explode. "Oh thank you Sesshomaru!" I said hugging him before running up the stairs to the bathroom where InuYasha had just come out of.
I threw my arms around him, half tackling him, and kissed him. He blinked in surprise but quickly recovered and held me close, returning my kiss. When we pulled back a few minutes later I noticed he had a towel wrapped around his waist, his jeans slung over his shoulder, and his hair was dripping. "Will you do that every time I get out of the shower?" He asked huskily. I laughed and hugged him tightly. I pulled back and looked at his chest. I just noticed where he had been shot there was a small scar. I leaned down and kissed it gently. Much to my surprise and InuYasha's a bright blue, pink, and white aura sparked on the scar and as the light disappeared we realized the scar to had disappeared. "Wow... how?" He asked. I shrugged and bit my lip. "I'm sorry." I said quietly. "No! Thank you!" He said staring at me in amazement.
"That was a miko power of some sorts." Sesshomaru said coming up the stairs behind me causing us, seeing as we were oblivious to anything else, both to jump. "Little brother why don't you give Kagome what mother left behind for you?" He asked leaning against the wall. InuYasha's eyes got huge and he nodded. "Why didn't I think of that!" He said running off to his room. "Give me what?" I asked looked up Sesshomaru, who just shook his head and headed back downstairs.
"Kagome!" InuYasha's voice rang out from his bedroom. I jogged into it and looked at him. He was pulling up a black pair of jeans over a pair of gray boxers. "What?" I asked. He yanked them up and smiled widely. "I have something special to give you but it will wait until later." He said sticking something into his back pocket. I blinked and gave him a questioning look. "You'll find out later." He said as he put a shirt on. His shirt was a white wife beater shirt. I almost laughed. I had no idea where that name had come from for those shirts. He threw on his leather jacket and turned to me. "How do I look?" He asked. I walked over him to and turned him around then I pulled his hair into a braid. "Good." I said hugging him from behind. He hugged my arms then pulled free.
"Kagome we could start training your Miko powers now! Will you help me with something?" I nodded and watched him walk over to his book self. "Okay all you have to do is concentrate and feel the energy flow through you." He said handing me a brown book that looked really old. He flipped it to a certain page. "Hiding Demon Blood." The title said. "InuYasha are you so sure about this?" He nodded and sat down on his bed. "Just touch my ears and concentrate okay?" I nodded and sat down behind him. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on hiding his ears. I blinked my eyes open when a warmth ran down my arms; I was shocked by the fact that my arms were glowing white as were InuYasha's ears.
The glow flickered out and InuYasha had human ears. "Oh wow these are real!" He said feeling them. "I've only been able to do cover spells. This is amazing! Thanks!" He said hugging me. I smiled, "sure!" He looked down at his watch. "Okay well we had better go." I nodded and followed him out to his truck.
