Love Has No Boundaries
Chapter 17: Reincarnation of whom?
"How long will she be unconscious?" InuYasha helped Kaede wrap Kagome in bandages.
"It's hard to tell. You said that her head hit the rock on four separate occasions, right?"
"Yeah."
"This may be more serious than we think. She may have lost her memory, but we'll have to wait till she wakes up to find out."
"Ow!" Huca slowly sat up and looked around the strange hut.
Kaede walked over to Huca. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I got hit by a train. Who are you? Where's Kagome?" Huca spotted Kagome's lifeless bandaged figure and raced to her side. "Will she be ok?"
"That we are unsure of."
Huca glanced up and stared at InuYasha. "You! Where am I, and how long was I out for?"
InuYasha didn't take his eyes off of Kagome. "You're in my time. I'm guessing you were out for at least an hour, if not more."
"Your time?" That statement puzzled Huca.
"That is correct. I believe Kagome called this time the Warring States Era. My name is Kaede."
"Warring States Era? Oh I get it. I'm dreaming. I haven't woken up yet. If you will excuse me I think I will go back to sleep, so I can wake up in my own room." Huca walked back to the corner she had woken up in and laid back down.
Both InuYasha and Kaede watched her in wonder. Kaede rose and headed out of the hut. "I'm going to go check on Miroku. If you move Kagome, be gentle. Her bones can't take much more right now." With that she left.
InuYasha inched closer to Kagome. He couldn't help but think that this was all his fault. "If I hadn't followed her on that camping trip, she would probably be dead right now. That doesn't help me at all. If I hadn't been so preoccupied by her declaration about wanting to be my girlfriend, then I could have saved her. That doesn't make sense, cause I was with her at that time. If her statement about Kikyo hadn't preoccupied me, then I could have saved her, not to mention the fact that I left her alone. How much of an idiot can I possibly be? Why can't I tell her how I really feel?" he thought.
"Because you're afraid of what she'll say or do to you." Somehow Huca had heard his thoughts and knew that he was trying to blame himself for what had happened. "She loves you. Everyone can see it. I have a suspicion that you love her also."
"Feh!"
"You're not fooling anyone with that attitude, except yourself. I can see it in the way you touch her. You even give it away in the way you speak to her, even though you try your hardest to be rude and crude. You can't stand that you let her get so close to you. You swore up and down that you would never let someone get so close again and here it is happening again." Huca stopped as she heard a loud growl coming from him.
"You think you know everything, don't you? For your information, I'm not in love with her."
Huca was instantly in front of him, bending over Kagome. "Shut up!" She stuck her finger in his face. He growled and tried to nip at it, but she pulled it away in time. "You think your cool with this attitude of yours. Let me tell you something, girls don't like that. I don't know how she could have fallen in love with you, but she has, and there is nothing you can do that will change that.."
"Besides killing her..."
"That's enough! You would never hurt her and we both know it."
InuYasha looked flustered as he stared at Huca in disbelief. What had gotten into her? As her words slowly sank in, he blushed and turned his attention away. Huca continued, intent on making him see what he was already feeling.
"Look, this may be your opportunity to change your ways. For one thing, Masaru didn't finish his experiments, at least as far as I can tell. Give me another hour or so and I'll be able to tell you for sure. It also seems as if her transformation hasn't taken place yet. God help us when it does, however. More importantly, she may have lost her memory."
"How can any of that be an opportunity for me? If she's lost her memory, then we'll go back to hating each other, which is perfectly fine with me."
Huca sat back on her legs. "Its not fine with you. I could hear the hurt in your voice when you said that. Who knows what this transformation will do to her? You may end up hating it or loving it. We'll just have to wait and find out. The most important thing to worry about right now is whether she will recover from this without any adverse side effects."
"What do you mean by that?" InuYasha was confused. To his knowledge her only injuries consisted of broken bones, amnesia, and maybe a concussion.
"We have no idea what Masaru did to her. Let me rephrase that, I know what he did to her, to a certain degree."
"Spit it out then!"
"Geez, no wonder you're a demon!"
"Grr, would you like me to throw you out now or after I kill you?"
"Whatever! Anyway, lightning exited from his fingers and entered her stomach. There were two sacks of something in her stomach, and I witnessed one of them burst open. All I can tell you is that I felt demonic blood rush out of it. Who knows how this will affect her transformation, much less her future life."
"What are you talking about? Stop confusing me."
"What I'm trying to tell you is that I have no idea if that lightning hurt her in another way or not."
"Ack, your making me mad. What are you talking about?"
"I'm not sure if it hurt her chances of becoming a mother or not. There, are you happy?" Huca spat out.
InuYasha blushed a deep red and looked at the ceiling. "I just had to ask, didn't I," he thought. "Uh.. I think she'll be fine."
"How do you know? The only way we'll find out is if she tries to have kids. Wait a minute! InuYasha are you planning on starting a family with her any time soon?"
"Nani? You have got to be kidding. Such a thought never once entered my mind." He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at her confidently. "I've only had one dream about it, that shouldn't count. Should it?" he thought.
"Right!" Huca gave him the "I don't believe you" look. "Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I'm hungry; got anything to eat around here?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"She's been out for two weeks now. Are you guys sure she's ok?" Shippo was concerned for his adopted mother's state.
"Well, if InuYasha would let us examine her, then we would be able to tell you."
"Miroku, you don't want to examine her. You want to roam your hands all over her mostly naked body. You know as well as the rest of us that InuYasha won't stand for that." Sango gave the monk a fearsome look.
"Uh.. Sango, where ever did you get that idea?" Miroku waved his hands in front of his face.
"You really are as troublesome as everyone says." Ryoko gave Miroku a chilling stare.
"I see, so you've never displayed these powers before now?" Kaede sat with Washu and Huca just outside Kaede's hut, a few feet from the others.
"No. It was as if a trigger was pulled inside of me, then all of the sudden I was doing things that I had only read about in books, having out of body experiences, shooting lightning from my hands, setting up complex mazes in my mind, and all the while trying to help Kagome get her mind back under her control," Huca said.
"Hum, very peculiar indeed. If I didn't know better, I'd say that you're a miko, but these powers may mean something else." Kaede glanced at Miroku, who was lying on the ground with swirly eyes. Kaede shook her head. "Sango, when Miroku wakes up, would you ask him to join in our conversation please."
Sango looked over her shoulder at Kaede. "Sure thing!"
"I've heard of a similar thing happening before," Washu said.
"Then I presume you know why Kagome has the powers she does?" Kaede asked.
"I only know she has powers because of what I witnessed. However that is not what I was talking about. In the case of this particular person, their powers only came to the forefront when the person whom they were reincarnated from was around. The only bad part was that once that person was no longer around, the powers were also gone."
"So, you're saying?" Miroku sat down next to Huca.
"I think what she's trying to say is that.. Lets just say that I am Miroku's or maybe even InuYasha's reincarnation. When we got into those battles, I could only display my power because you were near me. However, if you were to stay here and I was to go back to my time, then my powers may leave as well," Huca stated.
"Not necessarily." All eyes turned to Washu. "Your powers may not disappear, they may simply hibernate till they are needed again. It may take something to make you extremely angry before you are able to use your powers again."
Miroku scooted closer to Huca. "So you think you could be my reincarnation?"
Huca eyed him for a moment. "It's entirely possible, but there still exists the possibility that I am InuYasha's reincarnation."
Sango watched Miroku's hand reach for Huca's rear. Sango picked up a log and chucked it at Miroku. It hit Miroku on the head and knocked him forward. After a moment, Miroku sat up and turned his attention to Sango.
"What was that for?" He gave Sango an innocent look.
"You know darn good and well what that was for." Sango gave him a look that said that she wasn't stupid.
"I don't think it should be taboo to grab one's own rear," Miroku mumbled under his breath.
