Ch. 52 Hex History
*Disclaimer - I don't own Inuyasha or Pepsi (~Pepsi, for those who think young ~wink~)
I walked into Eri's living room and sat on the couch, I patted the spot next to me for Inuyasha to sit down, but he didn't notice. He was staring at me angrily, "Why the hell did you lie to me?" he demanded.
'uh better do the easy one first' "well when you asked me if I was a cheerleader I thought you would think I was a bimbo" as an after thought I added, "I wanted you to like me"
"By lying to me" Inuyasha stood there with his arms crossed over his chest.
"I didn't think it was that important"
"And what the hell did they mean by powers?" Inuyasha asked, he looked furious.
'here's the toughie', "er, have you heard of mikos before, you know white magic users?" I asked uncertainly.
Inuyasha nodded, He had his arms crossed over his chest and he looked serious.
"I inherited them" I said looking at a patch of carpet near my feet.
"yeah right" I looked up a little bit shocked, after all that anger, he didn't even believe, "real funny"
I looked him in the eyes, 'he thinks I'm joking'
Suddenly Inuyasha's jaw dropped " you, you're telling the truth"
I nodded solemnly and looked down, 'please don't let him freak out, don't let him leave me', I didn't even want to think what I would do if he just decided this was weird and that wasn't worth it.
"Can you show me?"
My head snapped up in shock, "huh?"
"Can you show me?"
I looked down again.
I hadn't used my powers since my grandmother died and we moved here. Because then I found out that it was true, my dads death, the death of my grandfather, and my Grandmother's passing away were all the fault of my powers.
You see My grandfather grew up on the shrine, he believed he had powers. Naturally everyone is born with some capacity to do magic, so after years and years of dedication (I think the word obsession suits it better), my Grandfather finally managed to pull off a few magic tricks.
Then I was born with incredible powers, the same powers that marked the mikos of old. Powers that had not been seen on this earth for over 500 hundred years.
We didn't find out until my fifth birthday. While my friends (Eri, Ayumi, and Yuki) and I were eating our cake, my grandfather decided it would be fun to entertain us by bending a spoon (plastic I might add). Well after several minutes of him not being able to get the spoon to bend, I decided that I wanted to try. So I picked up my metal spoon that I was using for ice-cream.
"Grandpa, I want to try" I lifted up my spoon so he could see it.
My grandfather smiled, "Kagome I think it may be to difficult for someone so-"
I wasn't listening I was focused intently on my spoon, 'bend' I thought, and suddenly I felt immense power surging through me. I blinked But I couldn't see anything beside a bright pink light.
After a few seconds the light subsided, and I looked at my spoon, which was now bent (into a twisted piece of metal, half of which was imbedded in the walls of the rooms), I jumped up and pointed excitedly at me spoon "Look look I did it!" I stopped jumping when I noticed my grandfather was backed into a corner of the room with a look of pure astonishment on his face and my friends had fallen off their chairs and looking at me in awe.
According to my grandfather, that first time at me trying to use my powers had awoken them. After that when I threw tantrums things would randomly blow up and the entire shrine would shake from head to toe.
So my parents thought this would be a good time to teach me how to control my powers. A year and half later I was quite good at handling my powers, from time to time when I got really angry things would still blow up, but mainly I could control them and use them to my advantage. On my first day of kindergarten my father had made me promise that no matter what I was not to use or talk about my powers. This had shocked me, because my best friends knew about them, why shouldn't my teachers?
I eventually figured out why, because my powers would make me different and I wouldn't fit in, so I just acted as if I didn't have any, and told my friends to do the same.
A few weeks after I turned seven, my grandmother (the grandfather that lived with me's wife, who also lived with us) died of a heart attack. My parents only told me that she went on vacation.
My grandfather was devastated, he wouldn't leave his room. One night he woke me up just a little before midnight. His eyes were all lit up and as I looked up at him with sleepy eyes he asked, "Kagome want to see Grandma?"
Well I of course agreed. We ran downstairs and my grandfather told me that she was so far away that it would take magic to bring her back here.
It seemed that while up in his room my grandfather had found a way to bring back the dead, but he didn't have the power to do so. That's where I came in, my power was used and my grandfather performed the ceremony, unfortunately this was a dark spell. If a dark spell is done incorrectly a curse is placed upon the individual who cast the spell. This individual was my grandfather. The spell was made to be cast by only one person, not two.
So In an explosion of light the curse came to him, the death of his relatives who were not connected to him by blood. I didn't find out about that till my grandmother (my other grandmother) died.
Then my father died, not even a month later. My grandfather didn't tell me anything about the night we cast the spell, he said simply that Grandma had decided she wanted to stay where she was, the liar. Then He died I was fourteen, By then I had totally forgotten about the night where he was cursed. Then My grandmother died, that's when we found everything out, my mother had been suspecting something like this for a while (I swear that woman has Esp.), We had found my grandfather's journal, which told about everything, so I haven't used my powers since.
I mean, if it wasn't for me, my dad would still be alive.
I looked up at Inuyasha, "I can't"
"You can't show you or me won't" He said softly as took a step closer to me.
"I won't" I looked up at him, I could feel tears form in my eyes. "my powers only hurt people"
He wrapped his arms around me, "Kagome please don't, I' sorry, don't cry"
I sniffed," I'm sorry, it's just…" I didn't want to finish the sentence. Instead I put on a happy face, "Hey you still have to finish your test" I grinned and began to push him back towards Eri's room.
"Your coming with me, you can't leave me alone with those women, they're scary" he smiled, I could tell he was trying to cheer me up.
We walked back through Eri's door, and Inuyasha reluctantly sat back down.
I shot him a quick smile, "Do you have jealousy problems?" I heard Yuki ask and I had to stifle my laugh.
"Me jealous of course not" Inuyasha scoffed.
I fell over, laughing.
A/N Sorry for the wait but I was grounded, and then after that my computer deleted my story 4 times. So I am a little bit angry.
Oh yeah a word for the wise, do not drink like 5 cans of diet Pepsi and then do a walk-a-thon, and that "monkey see monkey do" thing it's a saying don't try it with live monkeys (stuffed ones are ok)
Thanx
