"The Silent Voice"

By Night Youkai

Chapter 14

"So now we know 'Why' all we need to know is 'How'. How do we defeat Naraku who has the power of the Shikon jewel?" Miroku's ribs still hurt as they all sat beneath the big oak tree at school.

"Miroku's right we were lucky to escape Naraku last time. Who knows what will happen the next time." Sango was still worried about Miroku. Even though he was smiling she knew he was still hurting.

"So far all we can do is train. Inuyasha is the only one who can beat him." Kagome felt her heart tear at the thought. Their path was already laid out for them they had to see it to the end.

'Kagome is right and until then you all should stay away from me.' He did want his loved one to be caught in the crossfire this was his battle and his alone. Inuyasha jumped of in to a tree and out of sight.

"Inuyasha!" the shouted but he was already gone.

"Let's let him cool down before we go after him. Meanwhile it seems that the jewel draws us all in. Not only in the present time, but the past history as well. In my family Five hundred years ago there was a cruse placed on my great grand father by a spider Youkai. Imbedded in the right hand was a wind tunnel a sort of black hole if you will, that consumed everything in sight. The cures was only broken when the youkai was killed. I believe that youkai was Onigumo." Miroku did quite a bit of research once he found out about the jewel.

"My family came from the village where the jewel was born. It was a village of the Taiji-ya, youkai slayers. The whole village was slaughter by a spider youkai. The only survivors were a brother and sister. Their story is unclear but the sister is my great grand mother." Sango looked to Kagome. "The more we learn about this youkai and the jewel the more familiar everything feels."

"I believe we're all connected. I talked to me grandmother and she told me my great grandmother's sister was a powerful miko. She went on a quest to retrieve the jewel from a youkai and she never returned. I believe that she fell in love with Inuyasha's great grandfather. It all fits. Our history is repeating itself so we all must get stronger. We have to face it together. Wheather Inuyasha likes it or not, he can't do this alone. The question is can we all become our former selves."

"Well there's only one way to find out. We have six weeks till the Nationals." Miroku said as they heard the class bell ring.

"We'll train at my dojo till Inuyasha cools down." Kagome stated as the return to class. She would give Inuyasha a day or two before she tore into him.

*****

'Brother do you think this is wise?' Sesshomaru watched his brother work himself into the ground.

'Yes! Kagome should stay as far from me as possible! It was easy to protect her from a man, but how can I protect her or my family from a Youkai?' Inuyasha's hands were becoming blistered and raw as he continued his slashing with the Testsusaiga.

'So you think leaving school will save her and your friends from Naraku?'

'Yes I do! I'll be doing home schooling from now on. It'll give me more time for training.' Sesshomaru walked over to Inuyasha and tried to take the Testsusaiga from him. Inuyasha was too quick for him. He spun and knocked Sesshomaru to the floor.

"Damn it Inuyasha's! You're going to kill yourself if you keep this up!"

'Back off Sesshomaru! I have to do this! Me! I have to this! Now Leave!' Sesshomaru got up and left the dojo. Inyasha had never treated him like this. His mind was consumed and he was pushing his body trying to become faster stronger. Inuyasha barely slept, barely ate. He was training day and night. There was no end in sight for this madness. There was nothing Sesshomaru could do to save him.

"WHERE IS HE?!" On second thought, she could save him. Kagome was marching through the house at a fast rate. "Where is he Sesshomaru?" he never seen such anger in anyone before. He actually felt like running away as she got closer.

"Inuyasha is training in the dojo and doesn't wish to be disturbed." Kagome pushed past him. Fire burn in her eyes from the anger she was feeling and he felt the heat as she went by.

"Oh I'll disturb him alright!" Sesshomaru watch her enter the dojo. He smiled cause he felt a little sorry for his brother. As he was soon to be suffering under Kagome's fury. 'Yup, just a little bit.'

*****

Inuyasha was still training as Kagome threw opened the door. He heard the door open, but didn't notice who it was only that they were disturbing him. 'Leave me alone! I'm Busy!' as fast as he was he was no match for Kagome's Anger. She practically flew across the room and slapped him in the face. Inuyasha dropped the Testsusaiga. He just stood there dumb-founded looking at his fallen sword. So she slapped him again this time harder. The force of her anger sent him crashing down to the floor.

'Will you stop that?!' He got up rubbing his sore cheeks. He glared down in to her eyes hope to scare her into leaving 'Leave me alone! I've got work to do!'

"Well I'm glad I finally got your attention. I'm not leaving!" Kagome was now more pissed than ever and the look she was giving him made him gulp. "How dare you leave me like this!" Inuyasha had to take a step back. Her temper was really scaring him.

"You have some ego Inuyasha Inuhoushi! You think you can shoulder all the weight, the worry, and the danger? Then leave me a nice little note saying you can't be with me till it was over!" Suddenly he didn't' feel as brave and tough any more. The fire in Kagome's eyes was burning him in to the ground and there was no escaping it.

"Very clever to go into home schooling. More training less distraction. Right? Well it's not Happening! Do you here me? You are not the only one in this web surrounding the Shikon Jewel. Miroku and Sango are also connected, just like us. Since you're being a complete jerk about this I'm going to have to be the one with a plan. So I've talked it over with my mom and yours. I'm moving in here with you and your family. I'll have to take care of you since you can do it yourself. If you got a problem then you can try and fight me!" if Inuyasha ever thought he had a chance to win he didn't shown it.

"Good. Now that's settled let me take care of your hands. If you keep this up you don't be able to hold the Testsusaiga." Kagome's eyes had softened to a gentle scolding as she took Inuyasha by the arm and led him to his room for treatment.

'I never had a chance once I met you did I?' Kagome smiled at him.

'Nope you never did'

"Well I'm glad to see them back together. Now that they are, their training is more focused." Commented Miroku as he stretched.

"Yeah Kagome is not one to give up with out a fight." Sango finished polishing her Hiraikotsu "It's funny I thought this thing was a toy, a game. I never knew it was use to slay youkai. I use to play with this thing for hours when I was a child. I had no clue of its true purpose till we started doing all this research."

"It would seem we all are reliving our former lives on instinct. Miroku thought of his fight with Naraku. He preformed the Shotanha. A move he had never mastered in all his training with his houshi grandfather. Yet when he felt Sango might be attacked he was able to use the Shotanha.

"Naraku sent another note!" Kagome came running in with Inuyasha right behind her. "The jewel is awakening his youkai powers." The note read:

Inuyasha our time is growing near. My memories are also

returning to me along with my powers. I'm sure the houshi survived

our little encounter it was just to let you know I'm watching you! Your

Miko Bride will be mine.

Naraku-

"Inuyasha he is becoming to be more and more Onigumo and less Naraku. Onigumo must still have feeling for your great grandmother." Miroku started to feel a chill run down his back. Something evil was coming for them.

'I don't care who he thinks he is. He is not going to lay a hand on Kagome. Let's get back to work. The nationals are four weeks away.'

A/N: Yes I know it's short, but I want to streach out the story just a tad.
