^_^;;;;) Aren't you so happy? ^_~
Review responces-
IYEWOBluver- Thanx for reviewing! Glad u liked! Your story is getting good! It's better than mine! Bleh!
Kesperlis-WOW! So many questions, so little answers. But the one bout Inuyasha stealing the jewel will be answered in this chapter. ^_^ As for the one about the jewel channeling Kagome's powers...I'm not quite sure yet, but it is a good possibility! ~_^ I updated for ya!
JoJo10-'Great work' huh? Wow! I feel so honored that someone thinks that my work is great! I'll try to update fast, but school is constantly getting in my way. ^_~'' Ya, I've got some bad news, my poor puppy died. -_- Poor thing. But at least she's in doggy heaven. ^_^
~*~*~*~
Kagome stared at the unconscious cat-demon, her brown orbs wide in horror at what had just happened. There was a small trickle of crimson blood coming out of its mouth.
"Thanks" stuttered Kagome, who just now realized that she was shaking wildly.
"Keh." grunted Inuyasha while wiping the invisible dust off of his red outfit. "Whatever."
Ignoring the throbbing pain in her foot, Kagome tried to stand up. She got halfway up before her foot gave another loud crack. She started to fall down when two large and strong hands caught her.
"Stupid girl! You don't stand on a broken foot!" yelled Inuyasha.
He felt a bit bad for her when he noticed her body was shaking. he slowly lowered her to the ground.
Kagome stared unbelievingly at Inuyasha. 'Does he care whether I get hurt? Well he did save me...' Kagome shook her head to rid herself of her thoughts.
"Why did you save me?" Kagome asked. She was very confused with the hanyou. Didn't he try to kill her the other day?
Inuyasha's face reddened the tiniest bit. "You set me free. I saved you. Were even."
"Oh." said Kagome. "Well I'm glad that you have good timing. If you weren't here, then I would have been dead. You sure did get that demon down fast though. Hanyous' usually aren't that strong are they?"
Inuyasha just stared at Kagome strangely. Was she trying to make a decent conversation with him, a lowly hanyou? He had never experienced anyone treating him this way since his mother died when he was only a pup. He had always been treated as if he was the scum of the earth by demons and humans.
"Ummm..." Kagome muttered when she noticed Inuyasha staring at her with a weird look on his face. "Well, never mind."
The sun was setting. Its final rays of the day softly landing on the creek, making the deep blue surface shine with a golden tint to it.
Kagome looked down at her foot, which was now purple and swollen. "Um, Inuyasha? Could you please give me a lift? I kinda need to get back to my village before my mom gets worried."
Inuyasha was slightly startled by the request, but he didn't let it show. "I don't think that that would be a very good idea. What would your village think if they saw me carrying you?"
"Good point." said Kagome. "Well, we could wait until it gets dark and then you could take me into the village, and no one would see you. But you would have to be fast, because there are a lot of miko's in the village and they could easily sense your presence if you hang around for too long. But it won't be too dangerous for you, since your only half-demon.
"Whatever." said Inuyasha.
They sat in a comfortable silence as they watched the sun slowly set. Kagome started messing with the jewel around her neck. 'Was this what the demon wanted? The jewel of four souls? What is it?'
"Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her inquiringly at her.
"Do you know what the jewel of four souls is?"
Inuyasha glanced at her questioningly. "Why"
"Well, that cat demon told me that he wanted the jewel of four souls, and that I had it." Kagome told Inuyasha as she pointed at the unconscious demon that was twitching.
"Do you have it?" asked Inuyasha unbelievingly.
"I don't think so. I have this, but I don't think that it was special or anything. My grandpa gave it to me." Kagome took off the necklace and held it up.
Inuyasha stared at the dark pink sphere that was supported by a golden chain. Even though it was getting dark, it was still visible. Almost like it was glowing.
"I don't know much about the jewel of four souls, or the Shikon no tama, as some like to call it. All I know is that it contains great power and should never go into the hands of evil." stated Inuyasha. "I guess that this could be it, it seems to have a magical glow, but it's hard to believe that the Shikon would be in the hands of a normal miko, and not a strong demon."
The sun had completely set by now. The wind was picking up, and it was starting to get cold. Kagome, who had stopped shaking a while ago, got a fresh shiver.
"Well, if you could please take me home, I would be more than grateful." said Kagome with a small smile playing on her soft lips.
Inuyasha found it hard to contain his grin. 'why am I even helping her?' Inuyasha thought as he walked over to where Kagome had sat herself. He crouched down put one arm behind her back, and the other under her knees and slowly picked her up. Kagome blushed deeply as she was pulled tightly into the hanyou's chest, but Inuyasha didn't notice because he had already started running toward Kagome's village.
Inuyasha was at her house in only a minute.
"How did you know which house was mine?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha pointed to his nose and rolled his eyes.
"Oh, you could smell it!" exclaimed Kagome. "Kind of forgot about your heightened senses."
"Where would you like me to put you?" asked Inuyasha awkwardly. He was sure that he had never asked that question before.
"Ummm, just put me on my doorstep. I'll balance on one foot till someone comes to the door."
"Fine," said the hanyou. He walked over and slowly placed her on her good foot.
Kagome placed her hand on the door to help keep her balance. "Thanks."
"Feh," grunted Inuyasha halfheartedly. "Bye."
"Wait! Can I come visit you again?" asked Kagome excitedly. "Will you still be in the forest?"
'Really?' Thought Inuyasha. 'She wants to see me again?' "I might." He said as he took off running toward the forest.
"Bye" said Kagome, even though she knew he was too far away to hear.
~*~*~*~*~
"Wake up!" yelled Lexie and Abby I unison as they started jumping on Kagome's bed, their curly locks springing everywhere.
"Go away." Kagome mumbled, still half asleep.
"Up!" Shrieked Abby.
"NOW!" yelled Lexie, starting to jump on Kagome's back, but still being careful to avoid her sisters hurt foot.
Kagome, who was more than a little awake by now, rolled onto her back smiled up at the twins. "What if I don't want to get up?" she asked teasingly.
The twins giggled as they stretched their fingers out like they were claws. "Then we'll attack!" said Abby happily.
"Oh no!" said Kagome in mock horror.
Just then Souta came in. "Hey girls. You know you shouldn't be wrestling around with Kagome's leg being broken," he said in a deep voice that Kagome wasn't quite used to yet. It seemed like one day he was a boy running around in the mud, and the next day he was a young man standing in front of her right now.
"AWWWWWW!" whined Lexie.
"We were having fun!" pouted Abby.
"Come on. Leave her alone," said Souta as he went over to the bed and picked up a twin in each arm. "You might want to get dressed and ready Kagome. We are expecting a visitor soon."
~*~*~*~*~
Kagome slowly walked down the stairs. Even though her foot was heavily wrapped, it still hurt with every step she took.
It took her about two minutes to finally get down the long spiral stars. When she finally managed to get to the bottom there was a loud knock on the door. She slowly limped over to the door, turned the large golden handle, and opened the door.
There was a young man standing out there with a large purple robe on. He was holding a staff in one hand, and had beads around the other. He gave Kagome a large crooked grin.
"Miroku?!"
AN-Whew! That took a while to write! I'm pretty sure that it is my longest chapter so far. I hope that you all liked! I didn't get many reviews last chapter, so I expect some nice long reviews for this chapter. ^_^
Review? !_!
