"Shit, you're the Miko"
Kagome watched as Inuyasha flew across the room and panicked. ' Oh shit what happened. Did I do that? Is he all right?' all these thoughts zoomed through her head as she looked at the scene in horror. Desks had flipped over and Inuyasha lay on the floor. He had said something but Kagome wasn't listening, she was panicking too much to care. He looked at her with wide eyes. 'What do I do?' she thought. Then she let her instincts take over and ran. She tried to run out the door but as she neared it Inuyasha got up and stood in her way.
Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders and spoke," Kagome listen to me. You have to come with me now. Do you understand?" Kagome shook violently and sunk to the ground. After all the adrenaline had worn off she felt really weak. Inuyasha looked down at the girl at his feet thinking 'Oh shit what do I do now?' her small figure was trembling slightly so he bent down and tried to look at her. Her long black hair acted like a veil as she leaned forward slightly. Inuyasha lifted her head up and pushed her hair away from her face. He saw fear in her eyes. He was taken back a bit by this and froze. She took this opportunity to push him aside and run from the classroom. Inuyasha looked at her retreating figure and figured that he should look for after she calms down. Kaede could wait as he had his own problems to deal with. He looked around the classroom to see desks and chairs scattered randomly around the classroom. He sighed and left the classroom. It wasn't his mess to clean, even if it was he wasn't cleaning it.
*#*#*#*
Kagome finally stopped running when she got to a small park by the edge of the city. She sat silently on the swing, swinging back and forth. She had calmed down reasonably and was now trying to figure out what happened. She always knew she had a power within her. Well at least that's what her grandfather said, although some might say he is a bit eccentric. She knew it was her that had made that happen. She had felt an energy inside her snap. She felt as if she was to faint after all the energy she lost. She clung to the swing barely maintaining her balance. 'Why did it happen now?' she thought, then remembered Inuyasha. Her anger started to boil again and she realized he must be the problem. 'It's simple then I just won't go near him again. Hmm, that means no more detention' satisfied with her decision she got up to leave. As she got up she was met with a pair of bright golden eyes. She let out a little yelp and started to back away.
" Not scared are you?" he asked with a big smile showing his abnormally big canines.
" No, but it's your fault about what happened today," she said looking him straight in the eye.
" How do you figure that?" he asked sitting down in a crouch.
" Well simple. It has never happened before and you were pissing me off so that must mean me being around you must cause me to lose control of my power and make things happen"
" Hmm, who said anything about you having power?" he asked with a raised brow.
" I've always known I had some weird power. I've always felt it. I know I caused what happened. Why do you care anyway?" she asked taking her seat on the swing again.
" I don't. Kaede told me to find the miko and now I've found you all I have to do is bring you to her and my job is done" he said folding his arm across his chest.
" Oh. So what's a Miko?"
" Well it's a… hey wait why am I telling you? Come with me to Kaede's and she can tell you" he got up from his crouch and held out his clawed hand to her. She looked up into his golden eyes and somehow seemed to trust him, even if me pissed her off. She accepted his hand as he pulled her up. At that moment she felt her exhaustion take over and fell into his arms. He was taken back by this until he realized she had fainted. He then sighed and placed her on his back. He put her hands around his shoulders and held onto her legs. Since he was a Hanyou he ran extremely fast and to the human eye it would appear a blur.
*#*#*#*
Kagome saw a white rabbit and chased it toward the huge chocolate cake. "Wow that cake is big" she thought aloud and decided to try a bit. She bit into it but it was really chewy so she chewed more. An unknown force suddenly pulled it from her. " NOOO my cake!!!" she wailed. Inuyasha looked at the sleeping girl with confusion at her sudden outburst. She started to open her eyes. She groggily said, "Aw, no cake"
" What you mean this," said Inuyasha holding up a pillow. " You were trying to eat it in your sleep," he explained when she looked confused.
" Aw so that's why it was chewy" she said daydreaming. " Hey wait were am I?"
" At my house," replied Inuyasha. Kagome looked around confused. She looked like she was in his lounge room. The walls where a dark blue with silver outlines, and a TV stood infront of the couch she was laying on. She looked down at herself and saw she was still in her school uniform. She then looked at Inuyasha and saw he was in his usual clothes. " How come you don't wear school uniform?" she asked randomly to fill the silence.
" Because I don't want to"
" Oh. Um well what exactly am I doing here?"
" Well after you fainted on me I took you here since I don't know where you live. I would have left you at the park but then Kaede would kicked my ass if she found out I had left the Miko she'd been looking for to die,"
" Well are we going to see this Kaede?"
" Yeah but I'm hungry. I'm going to get something to eat so if you want anything just come and get whatever you want" he said leaving her to sit on the couch. She picked up the remote and flicked through the channels. She heard a door open and looked to see where it came from. She turned to see the front door open to reveal Inuyasha's older brother. He was a senior when Kagome was starting high school. A lot of students kept well away from him since he was a full youkai. He got really good grades though and got into a good college. He took one look at her and his eyes turned dark.
" Kikyou, what the hell are you doing here!" he hissed at Kagome. Kagome looked at him and was scared stiff.
" Umm, I'm not Kikyou" she said in a voice barely audible. He kept his glare on her then called out "Inuyasha do you know that a look alike of Kikyou is sitting in our lounge room?"
" Yeah she's the Miko and don't say that name around me!" he yelled back. Sess glare ceased and walked over to Kagome.
" Sorry if I scared you I'm just looking out for Inuyasha. He gets sort of touchy with things concerning Kikyou"
" What did I just say about that name?!" yelled Inuyasha from the kitchen. Kagome nodded still at bit shaken by the look Sesshomarou had given her.
" So you're the miko eh? You don't look like much" he looked scrutinisingly at her and added, " Well I guess you are human, after all" Kagome's fear of him left and she glared at him. " Hmm, your certainly brave. It's almost uncanny how much you look like Kik-" but he was cut off by Inuyasha's growl before he could finish. " Well I'll see you around" Sess said, as he got off the couch and left Kagome to sit there looking dumbstruck. 'Weird family she thought' Inuyasha came back with a big plate of chicken and one drumstick already in his mouth. He plopped himself down next to Kagome on the couch and turned the television set on.
" So when are we going to Kaede's house?" questioned Kagome to Inuyasha as he chewed on a bone.
" When I'm ready," he answered gruffly.
" Oh" she sighed and slid he back down the couch into a comfortable position. They sat in silence for about five minutes until Inuyasha finished his 'snack'.
" So um did you want to do something?" asked Inuyasha uncomfortably.
Kagome looked over to him, confusion evident in her eyes. " What do you mean?"
Inuyasha let out a growl of frustration, "I mean do you just want to sit around here until it's time to go or do something?"
" Oh. Umm is there anything to do around here?" she asked as she played with a bit of her long ebony hair.
" Feh, depends what you like" he answered stretching out and cracking his neck. Kagome sat there for a second thinking. She then turned her attention to the PS2 she saw laying carelessly next to the TV set.
" Um does that PS2 work?" she asked leaning over to examine it.
" Yeah" he answered casually. Kagome waited for him to offer to let her play but that never came so she decided to take matters into her own hands.
" So um, can I play it?"
" Feh whatever" she took this as a yes as she turned it on and grabbed a controller. He watched her with mild interest as she turned the TV to the right channels and plugged the plugs into the right sockets. 'Hmm she's no amateur' he noted as she successfully loaded the game on. It had taken Sess to set it up for him, Shippo and Miroku. He was pretty hot tempered so after it didn't work the first time he was threatening to smash the damned thing into hundreds of pieces. Shippo was just plain confused as he looked at all the plugs while Miroku was whining about how some girl never paid him any attention. Between the three of them setting the thing up was hopeless. Kagome had set the PS up and was now trying to figure out what game she was playing. She wanted to avoid conversation with Inuyasha as much as possible so didn't bother to ask what games he had. When the game set up she was pleasantly surprised to find it was Need for speed underground. She decided to make up a new game and started the first race. She had never played the game before and was trying to get a handle on the car. Inuyasha laughed silently to himself as he watched Kagome try not to crash. She was doing alright at the game but not brilliantly. After the 7th time she lost he couldn't take it anymore.
" Here give me that," he said grabbing the controller off her. She began to protest but could see it was useless as he started to race. She decided to watch him play so in case he lost she could laugh at him. She watched him play at first with no interest but as the race went on she became more entranced. He hadn't crashed once and was coming first by a massive lead. Inuyasha smirked to himself as he saw Kagome's attention was fully absorbed in his game play. Even when it came to such things as computer games his demon like reflexes would kick in making him superior to any human. If he weren't such an outcast he would have joined sports teams. Kagome looked in wonder as he finished the race in a clear lead. He gave her a smirk them tossed the controller back at Kagome. She reacted just in time before it hit her in the head.
" Okay I get a feeling I'm not that great at this game. I think I'll give up now," stated Kagome as she turned off the PS2.
" Feh, fine with me. I'm going to sleep. Tell me when it's time to go," he stated as he got up and walked down the stairs to his room. Kagome thought about this for a second then realized that she didn't know when they were going. She was about to say something but it was to late as he had already disappeared into his room. Kagome sighed then retreated to the couch to come up with a plan.
*#*#*#*
'Oh man I'm so tired' thought Inuyasha as he lay down on his bed. He closed his eyes and was off to sleep within 5 minutes.
" Inuyasha what are you doing here?" asked a familiar female voice although who it belonged to Inuyasha couldn't be sure.
" Who's there?" he asked through the black smoke that consumed his vision.
" What are you doing here?" the voice repeated. Inuyasha looked around to find the person the voice belonged to but it was in vain.
" I'm looking for my girlfriend. Have you seen her?" Inuyasha asked desperately the smoke getting worse. It was quiet. Inuyasha started to feel the heat of the fire and decided to continue the search for Kikyou. He yelled her name but got no reply. He did however hear a faint noise of someone crying. He assumed it was the person who was talking before so ran to where the noise came from. He held his shirt to his face to try and filter some of the smoke. He came across a girl sobbing in the corner of the factory. Her black hair covered her face as she leant forward. The flames were nearly consuming her.
" You have to get out!" he yelled. " If you haven't noticed there is a fire" The girl looked up slowly to meet his gaze. He was shocked when he came to meet the gaze of his girlfriend's tearstained face.
" Kikyou we have to get out!" Inuyasha yelled as he grabbed her arm and pulled her upright. She pulled free and ran back into the building. " Kikyou come back!" Inuyasha ran back into the building after her, refusing to let her go that easily. He couldn't understand what had brought on this behaviour. He ran through the smoke filled building trying desperately to find her. Normally his sensitive nose would have picked up her scent but the fire and smoke was blocking it. He had to rely on his faith to find her. There wasn't much chance of that because Inuyasha had no faith. " Kikyou!" he screamed in vain as his head started to feel light.
" Yes Inuyasha?" came a voice from the distance. Inuyasha quickly followed it and it lead him to Kikyou standing there holding a small hand gun to her head.
" What are you doing?" he questioned looking at her as if she was mad. Her tears started to swell again as she said,
" You betrayed me Inuyasha" she then took the gun from her head and turned it to Inuyasha and fired. Inuyasha watched in horror as the bullet hit his upper right shoulder. Kikyou continued to cry as she then backed away until the flames consumed her.
" Kikyou how could you?"
Inuyasha woke with a jolt, his body cold with sweat. He sighed and went to the mirror across his room. He took off his shirt and examined the scar left behind from the bullet. The memories of that day hung in his head. He sighed to himself and grabbed his guitar from where it stood next his bed. He started to play and try to forget all that happened.
*#*#*#*
Kagome waited on the couch for ages not sure whether to ask Inuyasha what time she was ment to wake him up. She decided against it and decided to just channel surf. She looked through all the channels until she came upon My Wife and kids. She stopped to watch it deciding it was better than any of her other options. She watched half of it laughing at Michael's antics but was disturbed by Inuyasha talking in his sleep. She tried to ignore it but couldn't. 'Should I go and see if he's alright?' she thought to herself. 'Nah'. She relaxed on the couch and watched the rest of My wife and kids. After it was over she could still hear Inuyasha talking. She looked thought the other channels and when she couldn't find anything she decided it would be the moral thing to go and see what was wrong with Inuyasha. Plus there was nothing else to do. She crept down into the basement where Inuyasha's room resides. She caught a look at him. He was tangled in his bed sheets and sweating badly. She could hear him say, " Kikyou how could you?" before he woke up with a jolt. She watched with interest as he got up and walked over to his mirror. She was surprised however as he took of his shirt. 'OMG look at his body!' she thought to herself practically drooling (I can see you doing the same thing!). Then she noticed a nasty looking scar on his right shoulder. 'Hmm wonder how he got that' she thought as she watched him examine it. He then walked over to his guitar and started to play. Kagome was mesmerised by his playing. He wasn't fantastic or anything but the raw emotion he put into it made it feel as if he was talking to you personally, trying to communicate his feelings. She stood there not saying a word just appreciating the moment. She then noticed Inuyasha's ears twitch and he turned to face her. 'How did I not notice her before?' he thought as he locked eyes with her.
"That was really good Inuyasha" Kagome commented to break the tension.
" Feh, nothing great. Is it time to go?"
" Um, yeah about that. You never said when we were going"
He looked down a his watch and said " Now's a good a time as any" He went to go up the stairs but Kagome stopped him asking with a blush,
" Are you going to put a shirt on?" He looked down at his bare chest noticing that he indeed wasn't wearing anything covering his torso. He shrugged and grabbed his shirt from where he had dumped it on the floor. He smirked as he saw Kagome blush and try to look away. Once he finished getting changed he tapped her on the shoulder making her turn around.
" You ready to go?" he asked.
" Yep just let me get my bag and I'm ready" she ran up the stair to retrieve her bag. Inuyasha watched her run up the stairs then went in search of his keys. He sniffed the air and tried to get the scent of it. After loosing it a fair few times Sess had suggested he attach a key chain that smells. Inuyasha sniffed the air again and smelt the light sent of coconut. He advanced on the smell and found his keys on the floor under a pile of clothes. He silently thanked the small palm tree key chain and ran up the stairs in search of Kagome. When he got to the top of the stairs he saw her looking at a picture of him, Sess and his mother sitting on a swing.
" Is this your mother?" asked Kagome politely.
" Yah"
" Wow she's pretty" she commented.
" Yeah I know. Now lets go before Kaede decides to skin me alive" he said while jingling his keys for effect. Kagome nodded in agreement and made her way to the front door.
*#*#*#*
Inuyasha pressed a button that unlocked the doors to his Mercedes. He jumped in watched Kagome look at him in amazement.
" Well what are you waiting for? Get in" he said in a slightly annoyed tone. Kagome picked up on it and got inside the car quickly. The car had Inuyasha written all over it. It was black and mysterious like his personality yet really good looking. Although it did have a dangerous edge to it, just like him. Kagome loved it. Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk as he saw her admiring his car. " You ready?" he asked as she did up her seat belt.
" Um, yah I think so" she replied.
" Good" and with that he sped down his driveway and onto the road. Kagome let out a small scream at the unexpected speed at which he was going. He smirked as he watched her cling to the car for dear life. Kagome thought he was going really fast then but as soon as he hit the main road he was off like a rocket. He sped through the traffic, weaving in and out of the cars cluttering the road. Kagome watched in horror as he ignored a red light and sped through narrowly missing two cars.
" Just tell me when it's over," said Kagome covering her face with her hands.
" What don't you trust me?" asked Inuyasha with a wide grin showing of his canines. Kagome looked at him doubtfully and said,
" No not really. ARRGHH!!! For gods sake keep your eyes on the road!" Inuyasha had been looking at her and had nearly hit a beetle (the car type not the little bug).
" Geez relax Kagome, I won't let anything happen to you," he said casually turning his attention to the road.
" Promise?" she asked somehow doubting his answer.
" Sure. I've been driving for a year now and I've never been in an accident" Kagome looked at him doubtfully but accepted his answer. The rest of the trip down the main road wasn't so bad. Kagome had a feeling he had slowed down for her but didn't say anything in fear he would speed up again. They then made there way off the main road and onto one that looked old and worn out. It was a dirt road, which made Kagome wonder where this Kaede lived.
" Um Inuyasha where are we going?" Kagome asked not recognising the area.
" To Kaede's house" he answered as if the answer was simple.
" Yes but where does she live?"
" Oh in a small village near the edge of Japan. Don't really see anything like this around anymore. With all the buildings and stuff cluttering up the city" He looked over to where Kagome was sitting and saw her looking in awe out the window. ' Wow this place is beautiful!' thought Kagome while Inuyasha thought 'God this place is a dump!' When the small village came into focus Kagome let out a huge sigh. She didn't know how much more time she can spend in silence with Inuyasha. Just as they neared the village something caught the hanyou's attention.
" Quick duck!" he urged Kagome. She just sat up more straight and gave him a questioning look. 'Arg stupid girl' he thought as he grabbed her and pulled her down just in time to save her from a demon attacking from behind. When Inuyasha released her she looked up to see the demon at the front of the car. It was a huge toad like demon with bludging eyes. Kagome screamed and ducked under the car seat. The demon however came over to her and grabbed her hair pulling her upwards. She screamed in pain not knowing what to do. She closed her eyes shut willing this to be a bad dream or something. She felt the tension in her hair cease as the demon let go. She looked up to be met by the golden orbs or Inuyasha.
" I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you and I keep my promises." He said as he jumped out of the car and faced off with the toad demon.
" Be careful," she said as Inuyasha lashed out at the demon with his claws. The demon however retaliated by spiting at Inuyasha. He missed, the saliva hitting the ground. It started to burn in to the ground letting Inuyasha know it was toxic. ' Okay I have to remember that' he told himself as he lashed out again. The toad was very sluggish and didn't really stand a chance against someone as powerful and fast as Inuyasha. Inuyasha dodging one of his attacks slashed forward sinking his claws into the skin of the demon. Kagome closed her eyes in horror as blood spilled everywhere from the wounded Youkai. Inuyasha decided he needed answers. He lifted the demon up with his claws firmly implanted in it's chest and yelled " Who sent you?" The Youkai coughed a bit spiting out blood but didn't answer.
" I said who sent you?!" said Inuyasha more forcefully plunging his claws deeper.
" Naraku" he said barely audible while cringing in pain. Inuyasha flinched at the answer.
" What did you say?" he asked whispering dangerously.
" I said Naraku!" yelled the demon in pain. Inuyasha released his claws from the demon and went back to the car. He saw the fear had returned to Kagome's eyes when she looked at him. He sighed and asked her if she was all right. When she didn't answer he reached out to touch her arm but she cringed away. This caused anger to swell in him. He had just saved her and now she was scared of him! He let out a small growl then stepped on the accelerator hard.
*#*#*#*
'Oh my god what has he done' thought Kagome as Inuyasha drove angrily down the deserted road. 'I know he was trying to protect me but how can I not be scared? I've heard he gets into fights a school but I never thought he was capable of this. Maybe everyone is right. He is a hanyou and dangerous' Kagome sighed at her thoughts. Logic was telling her he was dangerous and unpredictable but something else was telling her to trust him. She didn't know what to think. Eventually she decided she would see what this Kaede had to say then decide. The whole journey to Kaede's house Inuyasha couldn't help but look over to Kagome to see what she was doing. ' She's just like the rest of them' he though. 'Afraid because of what I am. Maybe I should just give up school and move to a village like Kaede. Well hey anything's better then here' he snapped out of these thoughts as he realized they had reached their destination.
" Okay get out," he said gruffly as he got out of the car slamming the door behind him. Kagome complied with his order and got out wondering where the hell she was. " This way to the hut" said Inuyasha as he started to walk through the village. Kagome followed him looking around at her surroundings. There where people wearing funny clothes and lived in what looked like a house that was made with wood (umm don't know what the houses look like in the anime. Can someone tell me), which was very different to the massive apartment buildings she was used to seeing. Inuyasha was the only person she knew that didn't live in a flat. She remembered when she was younger she used to live in a shrine but it burnt down when she was nine years old. Inuyasha continued to steer her further into the village until he came to a huge shrine like building. "Okay in here," Inuyasha said stoping in front of the building.
" Wow so does Kaede live in here?" questioned Kagome looking at the building.
" No this is a shrine. She lives in a small house in the centre of the village. She's the village priestess so she's probably in here."
" Oh" she said quietly, walking into the building. She looked around at the antique objects that were placed around the room. At the other side she saw an old woman looking at her.
" Hey Kaede, this is the miko you wanted. So my job here is done," said Inuyasha making his way back to the door.
" Wait Inuyasha, you have to hear this too" Kaede spoke quietly getting up and walking over to the couple. She made her way towards Kagome and started to examine her. " Hmm she seems to resemble my niece (sorry but she couldn't be her sister cos 2 old!) a lot." She commented, as she looked Kagome over. Kagome looked at her as if to say ' what the hell are you doing' but stayed still none the less. Kaede finally ceased looking at her and turned to Inuyasha. " Did you have any trouble finding her?"
" Feh, if you call her knocking me into a wall trouble than yes. Oh and getting attacked by one of Naraku's minions."
" What happened?" Kaede asked immediately.
" Nothing much. He attacked, I attacked, he died. You know the usual," he answered with a shrug.
" Hmm I see" Kagome watched their conversation go back and forth. She decided she needed answers so cleared her throat Kaede turned to her.
" Um" Kagome stared unsure. " I was just wondering what am I doing here and what is a miko?"
" Oh I'm sorry dear. You probably want to know why you're here" Kagome nodded. " Well as Inuyasha has probably told you, you are a miko. This means you have certain powers that can be very powerful. I have brought you here to train you so you can harness these powers when you are in danger. As it is your powers are raw and untapped. By training with me you will learn to control it."
" Uh what was wrong with it just being how it was before" she asked.
" Well as you have seen you are in danger. The people who attacked you earlier are after your powers. You are the strongest Miko to come since my late niece Kikyou" Inuyasha glowed low in his throat. Kagome gave him a questioning look remembering the name of his ex-girlfriend.
" Okay so what can I do?" asked Kagome keeping her eyes on Inuyasha.
" Well you have to train with me first of all. After you learn to control your powers and can defend yourself then you will be free to continue with your life"
" Is that why you kept me here hag. So I could hear the fate of this girl?" asked Inuyasha irritable after hearing his ex-girlfriends name.
" No Inuyasha I have something to tell you"
" Well what is it"
" I need someone to protect Kagome
until these attacks on her had passed and she can defend herself"
" And this would involve me how?" asked Inuyasha raising his eyebrow.
Kaede sighed at his ignorance, " I need you to protect her. You are the only one strong enough"
" I refuse," he stated simply. Kagome looked at him with a hurt expression. Sure she might have thought he was a danger but he was better then that toad thing that attacked her.
" Inuyasha, you promised you would protect me. Remember?" asked Kagome looking at him.
" Feh, fine" he shrugged crossing his arms.
" Thank you" she said sincerely, it clearly showing in her eyes. His expression softened at this. He got up and left the shrine. Kagome was about to follow him when Kaede stopped her.
" Listen, you must come here once a week for training"
" Okay" Kagome was at the door when Kaede stopped her once more.
" Oh and one more thing. Inuyasha is not a demon, not a human. All he knows is what he's not and doesn't realise what he is. I think that is where you can help him"
Kagome looked at the old lady wondering what she ment but was rushed out by Inuyasha.
