I'm back!!! 0.o;; Mhahahahahahahah, cough, okay, cough, I am fine. I do not own anything. (cries) :(
I had opened the second basket, when I found it; my old holy sword. I had never used it before because I had preferred my bow, but now it was the perfect weapon to use against Naraku. Thank you sister for keeping it. Naraku didn't even know that I owned such a thing. My lips curled into an evil smile; this was going to be fun.
Chapter 5
I strapped the sword to my waist and then pulled it out of its sheath. The metal hummed and became slightly pink as I poured my miko power into it. The weapon was still sharp and clean; Keade had taken good care of it. I walk out of the hut in my bare feet, wanting to polish my fighting skills. When I am about 5 yards away, I lung and fight my invisible foe. The jeans give me a lot more freedom so I am moving very fast. Soon I notice I have an audience. When I finish with my last strike to kill my foe, everyone claps. I turn and smile at my spectators, bowing to signify my finish. Then I see Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Inuyasha staring wide eyed at me. After the crowd disperses, I put on a doubtful smile and walk over to them. Shippo is the first to break the shocked silence. "Wow, Kagome, you fight real well. Is it cause you got the rest of your soul back from Kikyou?" So that is what Keade told them. I give her a quick glare; I don't like being portrayed as weak. I put on a fake sweet smile and bend over to his eye level. "Yes, some of Kikyou's powerful abilities were past on to me when she died." The kit gave me a toothy grin and jumped into my arms. His playfulness startled me but I held him close all the same. He was quite cute, though not very bright. "I am glad your okay, Kagome, cause Keade said you feel a little sick from gaining your soul back." Shippo snuggled my shirt. "I was worried" I look down at the fur-ball affectionately; he was already growing on me. The rest of the group wasn't so soft.
Inuyasha was the next to speak, "Well, let's go, we don't have all day." I sigh; he is always in a rush. "Yes, let me just get my bag." Inuyasha grunts; he is so impatient. I set Shippo down and walk back toward the hut, I hear Keade following me.
I enter the hut and grab Kagome's pack from the corner I left it. I slip it on to my back, it is quite heavy. I turn around and Keade has a pair of sandals in her hand. "Here," she says raising them up to my face. I take them from her and tie them on. "Thank you," I mutter. She leans in to hug me. I give her a sisterly squeeze back. "I will miss you Kikyou." She whispers in my ear, "take care of your sword. I knew you would need it someday." We part and I give her one of my rare genuine smiles.
"May you live a better second life." I say as I walk out the door.
Very short chapter, I know, I know but my imagination is running dry. Sorry this is posted so late but I had to major cram for school and it sucked all my energy away. I can't wait for summer; no more evil homework and tests! I will try and up-date as soon as I can but until summer it won't be very often. Also my muse for this story is very sick, I am praying that she won't die. She keeps telling me how the ending goes but not the events between. She is very annoying!
