Chapter 13: Purification of the Mind
"Tiefer Atem. ."
"Deep breath, Kagome-sama."
"Consentration gerichtet auf diesen Gegenstand," Schwarzes held up a katana and stared intensely at Kagome who was kneeling in the large, clear pond, "und machen Sie Ihre Energie sichtbar, die an ihr teilnimmt."
"Consentrate on the katana and visualize your power entering the object slowly." Tsuyume translated.
Kagome stared intensely at the katana's shining blade. "But I can't use a sword." She protested.
"So?" Tsuyume raised an eyebrow. "Neither can I and I've killed thousands of peo—Ooomph!" She rubbed her side where Schwarzes had elbowed her. "C'mon, I was just kidding, geez!"
"This is weird. . ." Kagome muttered but complied with Schwarzes's wishes.
It was silent for several minutes.
"Eh?" Tsuyume looked up suddenly. "Schwarzes-sama, etwas kommt." She whispered to Schwarzes.
"Was bedeuten Sie?" Schwarzes whispered back as she looked up as well, her long hair falling down her back. Suddenly all three girl's hair were blown upward as a large wind burst from the waterfall that emptied into the pond.
Kagome quickly pulled out a towel and wrapped it around herself, taking the sword she had just entered all her power into.
"What the hell is that?!" Tsuyume cried as she stood back to back with Kagome, now holding a bow ready. "A tornado?"
"No way! In a place like this!" Kagome yelled back over the loud winds.
But then, two things happened.
1. People other then Kagome and Tsuyume were screaming (and it wasn't Schwarzes)
2. Three bodies were currently plummeting toward the two battle- positioned girls.
"Youkai!! Attack!!" Tsuyume yelled.
Kagome looked at the sword confusedly, shrugged and threw it up with a cry.
"Watch out, Houshi-sama!" Sango's voice broke through the winds as the three bodies evaded the clumsy attack.
They landed in the pond with a large splash and the three quickly surfaced.
It was quiet once again.
"Oh. . .my. . .god. . ."
"How odd, people falling from the sky?"
"Shut up, Tsuyume."
"Hai, Schwarzes-sama."
"Kagome-chan!" Sango ran at her friend and engulfed her in a big hug. "I was so worried!!"
"Sango-chan. . ." was all Kagome could say as she hugged her friend back.
*--*--*
"So how'd you get here?" Kagome asked as she sipped a bit from her cup of tea.
"Well, we were in this large. . .brown thing and then—y'know I don't quite remember." Miroku said as he scratched his head.
"Ah. . ."
"We found Shippou though, and then we were suddenly falling from the sky." Sango said as she sipped her own tea and squirmed on her seat. The chair was uncomfortable but she was ready to get used to it in no time.
Kagome sighed. "Well. . ." she suddenly smiled. "Now I'm not alone!"
Sango blinked. "But isn't Inuyasha here with you?"
Kagome looked down at her tea. "He is. . .but he's a guy. I can't talk to a guy. And I can't talk to Mama. And I certainly can't talk to Miroku-sama."
"Hey!" Miroku protested as he stood. "I have my feminine side too!"
The two girls stared flatly at him. "Do you know how gay you just sounded?" Kagome said flatly.
*--*--*
"So, Kagome-chan, what's going on?" Sango asked as she sat on Kagome's bed with the other girl.
Kagome stared at her hands. "Well. . .it's been weird here. And I don't' know how to deal with it."
"That's kinda vague, Kagome-chan. C'mon, give me some details." She smiled softly but a single object in the room quickly caught her attention. "What's that?" she pointed to it excitedly. It was the small lamp Kagome had sitting on her desk for light.
"A lamp." Kagome said as she raised an eyebrow.
"But," Sango went to inspect it, "Where's the candle?"
"There isn't a candle, there's a light bulb." Kagome said as she switched it off and untwisted the bulb from the socket. "See." She held it in front of the taijiya's face.
"Wow. . .what does it do?" she asked curiously.
"It's like a candle that can't be blown out by air." Kagome explained as she screwed it in again.
"How interesting. . ." Sango said as she stared at it once more, then directed her attention once again to her friend. "Okay, now, tell me what's been going on."
"Okay. . ." Kagome and Sango sat back on the bed. "You see. . ." and she let out all that had plagued her for weeks, spilling it like a full cup of water.
After her spilling of plaguing details Kagome sat back from her ready- to-clean-up-spilled-water position and stared at her lap.
"Oh. . .Kagome-chan. . .that's horrible." Sango said sympathetically. "Why didn't you tell me before? I mean, EVERYTHING?"
"Because, I didn't want to get you worried about me. I didn't even want to tell Inuyasha for a while." Kagome said quietly. "But I was seriously thinking of ending it all."
Sango enveloped the younger girl into a tight hug. "It's alright Kagome-chan. I'm here to help now, and Houshi-sama as well." She said softly, "you don't have to do this alone, we're all here to defeat the enemy like we always do."
"But. . .he's Mama's boyfriend, I can't just kill him. Plus, Mama's carrying is child and I could never force her child to have no father like I did." Kagome sniffed. "I don't want another kid in this family though."
"are you sure she's having a child?" Sango asked as the two girls pulled away.
"Yea, she told me, right to my face." Kagome said as she remembered the anger she felt toward her mother at the time, "I don't think she'd lie about that."
"Oh. . ." Sango stared at her own folded hands and sighed. "Well, look on the Brightside, you won't be having to worry about your mother getting lonely, right?"
Kagome looked at her. "Mama has her father and her son here everyday, the only one missing was me and she seemed perfectly fine with me leaving every week."
"You're mother cared, I know that, Kagome-chan."
"I just hope she knows what she's doing, having that monsters' kid."
*--*--*
"Okay, Kagome-san, we're going to purify your mind, clear it of any detected thoughts and feelings." Tsuyume said as she leaned over the girl standing in the cold pool of water.
"And the point of th-this is?" she asked, a slight stutter to her voice as her teeth chattered.
"To protect you from Tsuyuko and his attacks." Tsuyume said as she poured colder water over Kagome's hair.
"B-but he d-doesn't a-attack m-me." Kagome said as she closed her eyes and held her arms closer to her chest.
"But he's hurt you emotionally and physically, Kagome-chan. I'd call that attacking." Sango said from behind Tsuyume. She was leaning against a tree, watching. "So this will get rid of all her fear of him?" she asked Tsuyume.
"It's supposed to. It's worked for all the other people we have used it on." She poured more water over the already shivering girl. "But they were mere humans with unique souls and human power. Kagome-san here has a reincarnated soul and miko powers to work with. I'm not so sure this is strong enough to handle such power."
The two dry woman stared down at Kagome. "I hope it works." Sango said as she slid her feet into the cold water after slipping off her sandals. "Because I don't like seeing Kagome-chan sad." She smiled, giving Kagome the strength to endure the freezing water.
"Thanks, Sango-chan."
Tsuyume lifted a rosary above Kagome's head, muttering words none of the other girls could understand.
"Alright, the barrier is set." Tsuyume said as she made a cross position in front of her body. "Kagome-san, step into the waterfall." She pointed toward the white waterfall that the pool received its water from.
Kagome nodded and waded toward the powerful looking waterfall. She stepped in the water formed a sort of encasement around her, blocking her form peering eyes.
Tsuyume took in a deep breath before raising the rosary once more and thrusting it forward dropping it into the clear water below. She opened her eyes from its closed determined position and stared at the small, fading ripples the rosary had created.
"Uh-oh. . ."
"What?!" Sango jumped up as she jumped over to the younger girl.
"The directions says: No contact with water or surrounded objects will become positive while intended object becomes negative." Tsuyume stared up from the directions manual she had picked up to read to the angry Taijiya.
"Then. . .that means. . .all the negative energy of the surrounded objects will. . .become Kagome-chan's energy?" Sango asked fearfully.
Tsyumue nodded shakily.
They both turned toward the waterfall. The encasement dispersed, leaving a very negative engeried Kagome standing in the middle.
She held the sword that Schwarzes and Tsuyume had created for her. It had been in her shirt for the remainder of the day.
She opened her eyes and a wave of wind gushed forth, throwing Sango and Tsuyume into a defensive position to keep them on the ground.
As the kept their gaze on Kagome they watched as her eyes slowly opened. Her normal brown eye color turned red and her hair in an upward frenzy, feathers mixed in with her black locks.

Where the heck is Inuyasha? I have no clue and I'm writing the story!! Well, he'll be there next chapter, I promise!!!
Anyway, was that a good chapter? I hope so cause it was little pulling teeth trying to write it. I kinda like how it turned out, though. So I hope all that have anticipated it will be satisfied. But Hey! I told you it wouldn't be that great!
