Chapter Ten- Tension
Inu Yasha
He watched from the roof top for three days as Boa trained in her magic. He couldn't shake off the feeling of knowing her. Lately, Kaeda had treated Boa as if she were….Kagome. And he HATED it. He hated that Kagome was so easily replaced. So he glowered at her with snide remarks.
But still, there was something inside him making him…attracted to her. He watched her every move. He watched at she perfected her bow and arrow skills, and her sword art, and hand to hand combat. 'I never thought I'd see the day the old hag would actually swing a nice right hook.' He remembered thinking. He watched as she grew in magic.
She had approached him once. Asking him to come down for dinner, or in her words, "Come join me for dinner Inu Yasha." The sound of her saying his name. The way it rolled off her tongue. Her gentle smile, and her bright lively eyes. He had blushed. And that had made him hate her even more. These feelings. The things he felt, they belonged to Kagome, and Kagome only. And he hated that he was having them for Boa.
Kagome
It was draining her energy. To keep up the image, AND perform the proper incantation, and movements. By the end of the day, she was whipped. For three days, she worked herself to her death. She practiced till sunset, and awoke at dawn. She seldom got a chance to be alone.
Inu Yasha had been following her around lately. As if…as if he was suspicious. She prayed that he was as clueless as he was intended to be. She had few words exchanged with other people. Kaeda seemed to disapprove of her illusion charm, and Inu Yasha just seemed to plain hate her to much to talk to her. She recalled one interesting conversation with Kaeda.
=P Flashback =P
Kagome stood in the valley. She raised the sword given to her by Toro. Slowly, she practiced her positioning of her feet. She was never good at dance. But her upper body was as graceful as a swan. Moving easily. It was the footing that threw her off everytime.
"Kagome." Someone called to her.
She spun around. "Kaeda! Please don't call me that. Inu Yasha will…"
"Inu Yasha is out hunting. Come child. Tell me why you must hide oneself under such a spell."
"I can't let Inu Yasha know I'm here. If he finds out, he'll send me back for sure."
"Kagome. Do ye not think one has enough worries? Inu Yasha is stubborn, but he misses ye child."
Kagome gave a sad smile. "But he doesn't need me anymore. Because Kikyou's back…remember?"
"Kagome. Think about what you are playing with."
'It's MY life!' she thought furiously. 'Let me do as I please.' "It's my life Kaeda. This is best for all of us."
"And what of your soul? How much more guilt would you be putting one Inu Yasha when you pass!"
"Then he will not know. He will remain stubborn, for THAT is what I wish. I'm sorry Kaeda, but fate has woven such and intricate, and complicated quilt, and it was given it to me, to complete. There are many things I must think of."
"Well, hear my out child. Inu Yasha likes you for you, as you do him." And she left.
Kagome stood alone. 'Exactly. The LIKES me. Had it been love, I wouldn't be in this situation.'
She gasped, and fell to the floor. A gripping pain had coarsed through her body. A hand clenched at her chest, and pulled her apart. That's what it felt like. A splitting headache ripped her mind apart. Slowly a small piece of soul was removed from her. 'Dammit. Even with me gaining power, she manages to attain my soul.'
Her breathe began to shorten, and the last thing she remembered, was seeing golden eyes.
Oo End Flashback oO
Kagome had awoken within an hours time. She was in Kaeda's hut. For a while, Inu Yasha had avoided her. She silently thanked God as her illusion remained while she had blacked out. 'But I can't black out any more.' She thought, 'because if I do, my illusion will desintagrate. My energy and power…is running thin.'
OO Shippou OO
There was a pregnant silence between the three of them. Shippou in shock, Miroku surprised at hearing the news from someone else. Sango closed her eyes in pain. It hurt. It hurt to know Kagome had such a rough road to travel. Live without her love, or love without her life.
Finally Miroku spoke. "Before Kagome left, I had sensed a change in her aura. It seemed to be fading, but unwilling to. Damit! WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE WHAT WAS GOING ON?!" he clenched his fist. "I'm a monk, and her friend, and I didn't even have enough common sense to figure it out." He whispered meekly.
"We were all fools to think she was fine Miroku. But still, if we can get rid of Kikyou…" Sango was starting to put things together in her mind.
"We can't." Shippou mumbled from his curled up position in Kirara's fur. "Inu Yasha won't let us."
"Do you REALLY think he'd give up Kagome's life for Kikyou's?" Miroku asked.
"Inu Yasha maybe a half breed, but he is part demon, and he has his honor. Demons keep their promises. It is a great dishonor to the family name if he were to break it." Sango answered him. Sparring Shippou a depressed look.
Kirara began to descend before they had a chance to discuss what they were to do. They found Kaeda talking to a young lady. A preistess by the feel of it. Inu Yasha sat on the hut roof sulking, but in a thoughtful way. And for once, Kikyou was no where to be found.
'Mommy?' Shippou sat up, perked up his nose. His gaze wandered over to the young lady. She had brown hair. NOT black like Kagomes. And she was taller, but…his nose…it wouldn't lie. 'Mommy?' Before they even landed, he jumped off of Kirara, and jumped into surprised arms.
"MOMMY!" he cuddled closer to her. Taking in her scent. "Mommy." He murmured starting to cry.
Kagome stared down at the bundle in her arms. 'Shippou. My little Shippou.' She wanted to cuddle him, and tell him it would be ok, because she was back. She wanted to tell him she had missed him, that she loved him, and that she would never leave him again. But she couldn't.
A taken aback Miroku, Sango, and Inu Yasha yelled.
Inu Yasha landed on the ground. He strode over. His golden eyes piercing into "Boa". He pulled Shippou from her grasp. "Don't you EVER touch Shippou again! I want you to leave this village NOW! I don't know what kind of spell you've cast on him, and Kaeda, but it won't work on me! Leave you witch, before I make you." 'No one, NO one, is going to touch our son.' He though subconsciously.
Shippou shrieked as he was pulled from his mother. He struggled to get back to her. "LET ME GO INU YASHA! I WANT KAGOME! LET ME GO!!!!" He began to cry.
Sango approached. Kagome stood still. Looking down into the dirt, she hid her tears. 'Shippou, you recognize me. My little Shippou. I want to reassure you, I want to be your mother again, but…I can't."
"Kagome?" Sango called quietly causing Kagome to raise her head.
"No. Whoever this Kagome you speak of is, she is not me. I'm sorry to disappoint. I am a priestess from the village just over the hills, come to…retrieve training from Ka….Priestess Kaeda." She stumbled on her words, trying to NOT sound like herself.
Miroku stood beside Kirara. It was true. Her aura felt VERY familiar. Although it was masked by magic. It was hard to tell weather it really WAS Kagome using an illusion charm, or if the girl was lying.
Inu Yasha lunged forward, and grabbed her by her neck. Holding her above the ground. He growled. "I said leave bitch."
Kagome gasped. 'He must hate my name. He must want to forget me. Maybe, I really should just leave. Maybe, he's happier without me.' The air was being cut off from her lungs. 'NO! If I fall unconscious…the spell will…' her mind was beginning to blank. Sango and Miroku scurried to pull her from his tight grip. Kaeda yelled for him to stop the insanity, and Shippou bit Inu Yasha's head. Trying to get him to stop strangling her.
Kagomes hands came to grasp his. For a moment, his hold wavered. Her touch seemed familiar. A picture of Kagome flashed through his mind, and sadness coursed through him. He didn't like this girl. She caused past pain to bubble up inside of him. His grip tightened. Her vision was giving in.
"Inu Yasha." She whispered.
Miroku paused. Her magic was beginning to fail her.
"Inu Yasha." She chocked out. Tears were coursing down her cheek.
Inu Yasha let go immediately. She was fading. No…she was changing. "Boa" fell to the ground coughing, and gasping for air. She was feeling light headed. Her eyes fluttered close, and she fell. Lying on the ground.
"MOMMY!" Shippou yelled. But Sango grabbed hold of him as the illusion began to fall.
Slowly, the girl shrank in height; her hair turned black, and grew shorter. Her cloths changed to the garbs of a priestess. The top was white, but the bottom, was different. Night blue silk was embroidered with golden stars.
Inu Yasha's throat clenched. His eyes widened in shock. "Kagome."
