Chapter 4: Kaede's Wisdom
~Inuyasha and the others were almost to Kaede's village. Inuyasha still
carried the sleeping Kagome in his arms. They were all especially quite
trying to figure out the mystery of Kagome's "powers". ~
Inuyasha-(thinking and looking down at Kagome) She smells really
good.::sniff sniff:: She looks so.so. peaceful. Killing the Youkai really
knocked her out. She looked so beautiful when she turned white.WHAT?! I
gotta STOP doing that. I can't be falling in love with.KAGOME. I'm supposed
to be in love with Kikyou! I AM in love with Kikyou!
~Inuyasha growled to himself in frustration and Sango gave Miroku a what-is-
Inuyasha-growling-at look.~
Inuyasha-(thinking to himself again) but.but. I can't stand it when she
isn't around.I hope she isn't still mad at me.god she is beautiful.I think
I am falling.NO!!! STOP THAT INUYASHA!
~He interrupted his own thoughts as they came up to Kaede's hut. They
walked in and looked around for the old hag.~
~Kaede walked in and told them to sit down. They did, and she went to go
get them some rice and tea. (as usual)~
~Inuyasha laid Kagome down and sat next to her. Kaede walked back with the
food and a blanket for Kagome.~
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha- Thanks.
~Kaede said nothing in return and sat across form the group. She eyed them
each with a serious wise look on her face.~
Kaede-(breaking the silence) It seems ye Kagome had unleashed her powerful
miko abilities. I was expecting this to happen long ago. She is very tired.
What ye did today took a lot of energy and ye will sleep all day and all
night.
~Shippo raised an eyebrow, ignored her and kept eating.~
Sango- What did Kagome do today? She killed the Youkai with one arrow.
Kaede-(chuckle) Well, ye Kagome has well, lets say, "inherited" some of
Kikyou powers, but they are much more powerful when brought to full
potential. This happens sometimes to reincarnations.
Miroku- Why didn't she use them earlier?
Inuyasha- Yeah, might've needed them in the past.
Kaede- Ye Kagome didn't even have knowledge of these mysterious powers
until this morning, when she first used them. She hasn't yet learned the
trick to summon them on command.
Inuyasha- The how did she use them when she didn't know how in the first
place?
Kaede-::sigh:: Kagome was able to unleash her powers because someone truly
close to her was in danger.
Inuyasha-(automatically thinking it was him) I WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER!!!
~The others just stared at him.~
~Inuyasha blushed and said no more.~
Miroku-(saying it to aggravate Inuyasha) So she's only able to use her
strong powers when Inuyasha is in danger?
~Inuyasha blush grew a shade deeper and Shippo started laughing
uncontrollably. Inuyasha glared at the Kitsune and he stopped immediately.
~
Kaede- Something like that, but we truly will never know exactly. I suggest
all of you get some rest now. Kagome might be ready to leave tomorrow.
Inuyasha, your wounds will be healed by the end of the day.
~Inuyasha glanced at his shoulder, there was only a minor gash now.~

***Around 10 p.m. at Kaede's***
~Inuyasha leaned against the wall staring at Kagome out of the corner of
his eye. Sango yawned and laid down to sleep. Miroku and Shippo did the
same. Soon, Inuyasha was the only one awake.~
~Inuyasha scooted closer to Kagome. She was lying on her side facing
Inuyasha. ~
~He looked around eyeing his companions to make sure they were asleep. He
reached down to stroke her hair.~
Inuyasha- ::sniff sniff:: ::pet pet:: (thinking) wow, her hair is really
soft. It smells really good.
~His thoughts were interrupted when Kagome stirred in her sleep. He quickly
withdrew his hand from her head and watched her move about.~
Kagome-::moan::
~He continued to watch her. It looked like she was stretching. He raised an
eyebrow interested. ~
~Kagome's eyebrows furrowed.~
Kagome-(slurred) Inuyasha.::moan::
~Kagome rolled into fetal position with a concerned look on her face.
Inuyasha was very confused.~
Inuyasha-(thinking) What is she doing???
Kagome- owwww! Stop Inuyasha.that.really.hurts.I'm.really tired.
~Inuyasha was baffled by what Kagome was saying in her sleep. ~
Kagome- The.power.drained.killed.youkai.I.can't.control.strong.owwww.pain.
Kagome- owwwww! blood.bleeding.
Inuyasha- Kagome? Are you.okay.?
~Kagome didn't say anything else that night.~
**wow, that was strange! *you need help * until next time!
