Ch. 5 Hidden Power
Nani emerged from the well only to find that Kagome was there waiting for her. There was a long, long silence. Nani couldn't tell whether Kagome was worried, sad, and/or exited. Kagome turned toward her with a big smile on her face. Nani was then greeted with a big hug.
"I trust you wish was granted. Welcome home." The two embraced. Kagome stepped away and looked happier than ever before. "Did you have fun? How was everyone? Did you meet Inu-Yasha? How is Ashitaka?" Kagome went on and on with her questions. Nani just laughed and embraced Kagome again.
"Cant that wait until I get some food in my stomach? Nani stepped out of the well house and headed toward the house that she had missed.
The night continued with stories of Nani's experience in the feudal age. She told Kagome of Sango and Miroku's marriage, of Shippou's growth spurt, and of Kaede's passing and of Kikyo's resurrection. Kagome told her of the times when she was able to travel through the well. Nani was in aww at her caretaker. She couldn't be crazy. The things that she had said had to be true. No longer did Nani have doubts about Kagome-sama's sanity. She herself had experienced what her foster mother had been shunned for. Finally, Nani had a real connection to the only family she had ever known.
***
Nani was back in school the next day. The weird looks were twice as vengeful. The circumstances were not in her favor. She had been out of school for about a week after a fight with the most popular girl in school. The whole thing seemed suspicious even to her. Through out the whole day students and administrators alike looked at her funny. She wasn't fazed though.
"I really thought you wouldn't show your face again, no name." Neko said to her during lunch. "Why do you never disappear?" the girl began to gather a crowd with her rambling insults. Soon the whole school was watching them.
"You should really learn to use proper grammar. It's 'Why don't you ever disappear?'" Nani stood up from her spot by the tree and began to gather her things. Neko lunged at her with out mercy and fell on her face when Nani gracefully dodged the blow. "There's no fighting in school. You of all people should know that. Besides, I have somewhere to be." Nani walked off with a new found confidence she never had before. Luckily, Neko was stopped by an administrator before she had tome to launch another attack.
Near the end of the school day, during English class, Nani began to dose off. The English language was so easy compared to her second language, Latin. As unconsciousness took her, the feeling that something was wrong came upon her.

The sun was just setting and Ashitaka was once again sitting in his tree thinking about the events of the last week. It was odd. Even with his past catching up with him, the one he despised, he seemed to be at more peace that he had been in a long time.
"Nani, huh," he mumbled to himself. "You had better come back. We have a fight to finish." And the sun was lost behind the far off mountains.
There. He could smell it. Yes. A demon was swiftly approaching the village. He jumped from his perch and almost flew toward the fast approaching demon.
***
She could do nothing. Her body was frozen and couldn't do anything to help. Nani's new friends fell around her. The same dream, only this time it was much more urgent. The fire was warm on her cheeks. The cloaked figure was killing every one. Then, it turned to her.
"You know, this is all your fault. You brought what I wanted here. Now I know where you are. I can come for you at any moment, but I think I'll wait till your powers awaken. It'll be a lot more fun that way." The figure giggled and vanished. Nani's head spun, not only in thought, but the world around her. Her conciecenesss drowned into oblivion.
She awoke with a gasp and a shove on her arm.
"Higurashi, schools out for the day. You need to leave." came her teacher's voice.
"Right," Nani stood and ran home. That dream wasn't just any ordinary dream. Something was wrong, and she knew it. The Higurashi shrine came into view. Kagome was at the top of the stairs waiting for her. Nani reached her in a matter of seconds, exhausted.
"You've got to hurry. They're in trouble." Kagome handed Nani a large, old back pack and hurried her to the well house. "Wait.!"
Nani turned to see Kagome holding a large pink backpack and a first aid kit. "You'll need it."
Nani hastily took the items from her "mother" and quickly found her way to the black abyss that was the portal into the past.
***
Nani emerged to the smell of smoke. The worse scenarios went through her mind as she sped to the smoldering village below her. Had she come too late? Were her new friend alright? Could that day dream have been warning her of this? As she entered the ruined village, her pace slowed, allowing for her to take in the destruction around her. The bodies of the villagers, the fire consuming everything, she couldn't take it. Her pace quickened again. Not knowing where she was going, Nani just ran.
Out of nowhere, Nani felt something flash past her. Then came the sting, the searing pain accompanied by the warmth of her own blood running down her left cheek. The shock knocked her off balance. She broke her fall with her hands and looked up. Ashitaka stood before her, fresh blood on his claws.
"You. you did this. You brought the jewel and attracted them here. It's your fal." he collapsed where he stood. Nani couldn't help but rush to his side. Blood was dripping from his head and his breathing was shallow. Nani totally forgot about the first aid kit in her bag.
Her thoughts became fogged and her hands began to glow. She didn't know what see was doing, or maybe it wasn't her. Ashitaka's cuts and bruises slowly vanished and Nani slipped into unconsciousness from seemingly unearned exhaustion.
