Powers of a Miko

Chapter Five

"Inuyasha, the Tetsusaiga is a steel cleaving fang from my mouth."

"Uh, that's nice dad."

"What? Oh that's right well to the point. The Tetsusaiga has a special ability........."

Inuyasha blanked out and almost started snoring. He was snapped out of his thoughts as his dad coughed up. "............and that is how you use the Tetsusaiga." This greatly startled Inuyasha greatly. His head snapped up and he jumped. "I think you should go now son." Inuyasha shook his head violently up and down. He took the Tetsusaiga from his father's hands and put it on his waist sash. He walked over to Kagome's room. Her breathing became faster signaling that she was going to wake up soon. She began to open her eyes. She saw Inuyasha and smiled. The voices have been subdued for now. He whispered, "Kagome we are leaving the castle for a couple of days. I want to know if you know any ways to protect yourself." She thought for a moment and cutely cocked her head to the side. After several minutes she found an answer. "I have my miko powers and I am good with the bow and arrow." Inuyasha nodded satisfied. "We are going to go at sunset okay?" Kagome nodded her head.

It was sunset and exactly as Inuyasha said and they were already far from the castle grounds. Inuyasha wanted to go somewhere where it was quiet and had an abundant amount of food. Kagome insisted that she was able to walk. Her miko and hanyou abilities allowed her to heal even faster than normal. They had been walking in a comfortable silence. After walking for about four hours two ferocious stomachs could be heard growling. Both blushed furiously.

"I, uh, think we should set up camp."

"Yeah, um where do we get our food?"

"Don't you have it?"

"I think I left it at the castle."

"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Just kidding Inuyasha calm down jeez. I have it right here."

"Feh."

Kagome smiles and pulls out some food. She made a fire and began to cook the frozen food. Inuyasha found a tree nearby and sat there bangs covering his expression. He was deep in thought and that couldn't have been good news. Kagome looked up to him. If you didn't know him you would think he was sleeping. However Kagome knew him oh so well. Even though they barely knew each other they knew so much. She knew he was watching her every move and she smiled. She began to eat her food. Then she looked at him, still putting up his sleeping act. She smiled. 'This will prove interesting.' She made a motion to steal his food when suddenly an angry hanyou was hovering above her. "Dinner is ready?" He did his normal 'feh'. He sat down beside her and began to eat their food. Finally he decided to ask a question that had been bugging him all day.

"Hey Kagome?"

"Hm?"

"Since when did you get miko powers? My parents never told me anything about you being a miko."

"I don't know soon after I met you my parents thought it would do me good to practice it. They said I run off to often and told me I was lucky that I ran into you guys."

"Wait, what do you mean by practice? You weren't born as a miko were you?"

"As a matter of fact I am."

Inuyasha's eyes wideneddrastically. 'That means she can purify thousands of demons on end! It is very rare for someone to be able to be naturally born a miko. I heard it takes years of practice just to obtain your ability. But Kagome was born one? She must be really powerful!'

"Hey Kagome how long did it take for you to gain control over your powers...from after your run in with me?"

"Um, perhaps around three to four months."

"You ... you ARE joking with me RIGHT?"

"No, why?"

"I have been told that it takes miko's years upon years to even gain the slightest control over their miko powers."

"Well that isn't true because I definitely did not go even close to one year of practice anyways."

"Feh."

"What??? I am telling you the truth!"

"Okay well do you have total control over your powers?"

"Most of the time, why?"

"Ah ha! See! You don't have total control!"

"You are impossible! I am going to go to bed now."

Inuyasha looked her in the eyes just trying to find a hint that she was lying about her powers. Surprisingly he found none. He, however, continued to stare at the young miko in front of him. She eventually became flustered and turned around. Eventually she let sleep overtake her.

Inuyasha hopped back up to his tree. He gradually watched as Kagome fell asleep. 'She has to be one heck of a miko then. But if she is so great...what happened to her back then?' He thought about this for a second then found an answer. 'Kagome wasn't able to concentrate! It has been told that miko's had to concentrate in order to gain control of their unlimited powers. For Kagome it must have been a whole lot and she lost control. However I have to admit she is one heck of a girl.' His eyes widened. 'I mean miko!' He smacked a hand on his forehead he knew where this was going. Sure enough HE came back.

HELLO!

Go pester someone else.

Why? I am just trying to help you realize your feelings!

Well what if I don't want to!

You better tell her now while you have the chance!

Tell her WHAT???

You NO WHAT!

ARG! It's not like anyone else is going to rival me.

There might be someone who loves her and unlike SOMEONE I know he might just win her over.

Who else would she know?

I am just saying! I mean look at her! She is GORGEOUS!

Whatever...

Fine! When you lose her you will be sorry.

I won't lose her to anyone!

Whatever...

Just leave me alone!

Your call then...

He sighed that was abnormally short. He seemed quite disturbed though. He wouldn't be able to live if he lost Kagome to someone else. He took one last glance at Kagome and then let sleep overtake him.

When he awoke Kagome was already awake and sitting by the lake. This was the perfect place to camp but he needed to go somewhere more secluded to protect them from intruders.

Kagome sensed that he had awoken but continued to stare out towards the lake. It was so peaceful. Eventually he came down from the tree and began to walk towards her. She startled him when she greeted him. He didn't know that she knew that he was awake. She motioned for him to sit next to her. She seemed slightly troubled and it bothered him. "What's wrong?" She closed her eyes and let out a sigh. When she opened them she seemed somewhat annoyed. "He is coming I can feel it." He seemed greatly disturbed and began to sniff the air. He couldn't sense anyone even with his supreme noise. She spoke again. "He is past those mountains he should be here by lunch." Inuyasha became slightly annoyed and confused. "How can you sense that far? Even with this nose I can't sense or smell anyone! And who the hell is coming?" Kagome closed her eyes. Lunch was in several minutes. "I can sense him with my miko powers." Suddenly her eyes snapped open. "He is here........................"
