though.
A Glimpse Ahead
Ch 3
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked, "How could you not know who your mother is?"
Ritsuko ignored Miroku's question, "Anyway, I have been sent here to help you with some of the upcoming threats, as I already know how to overcome them. However, I have been given a very specific set of rules and there are some bits of information that I am not permitted to give."
"What's going on guys?"
The group turned around and stared in surprise at Kagome who was not only full conscious now but also was standing up and shaking herself off. Except for a few quickly fading marks, there was little evidence that she had been injured at all. Then all eyes turned to Kaede, who looked as perplexed as everyone else.
Inuyasha was the first to say anything, "K-Kagome? Are you okay? How did your wounds heal so fast?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha then down at herself, "You mean it worked?" Then she realized what he had asked her, "I don't know how I healed. I don't even know how quickly I healed. But I'm okay. Are you okay?"
"It really hasn't been that long since Inuyasha brought you and Ritsuko here. Miroku and I had just gotten back," offered Sango.
"Wow, so I really did heal quickly?" Kagome gasped, wide-eyed.
"There are two possible explanations for that," Ritsuko said, " The first is that you somehow figured out a way to use your miko abilities to heal yourself. The second is that when you took on father's injuries, you might have also taken on some of his healing powers."
Kagome nodded, and then realized what Ritsuko had just said, "Wait a minute. What did you mean 'father's' injuries?"
"Apparently," Sango explained, "Ritsuko here is Inuyasha's daughter from the future."
"Oh. Okay." said Kagome, looking somewhat bewildered.
Everyone blinked in surprise and stared at Kagome. That was not the reaction they expected from her after hearing about Inuyasha's daughter. But then again, she had just taken it quite a lot.
Kagome's head was spinning with all the new information. Sango noticed that her friend had spaced out and tried to snap her out of it, "Hey, Kagome. Do you want to go out to the hot springs? I think a nice bath will help you out."
While Kagome's expression remained fairly blank, she did nod her head. She then stood up and collected her bath things. Ritsuko joined the other two girls despite warnings from Kaede that it might not be a wise idea. After a while at the hot springs, Sango finally snapped Kagome out of her trance by asking a question of Ritsuko, "Is there anything at all that you can tell us about the future?"
"Well if things go as they should, you will find a way to save your brother. Shippo will meet a nice young female kitsune. Oh, and my aunt says that the changes in my father after the battle with Naraku are somewhat drastic."
The other two looked up and exclaimed in unison, "Your aunt?!"
Ritsuko nodded, "Yeah, she's known my father for about the same amount of time as my mother has, so I guess she would know."
"Oh, "Kagome said as she stood up, "Sango, I think I'm gonna go for a little walk now."
