The
Not So Perfect Date
The girls
walked in the room arms interlocked and looking stunning. They smiled
when they saw the two sitting and laughed when Kagome's grandfather
started to ask Miroku all kinds of questions that had to do with
monks and what they did. All of them were surprised except Kagome's
grandfather when Miroku answered every single question he through a t
him and when he did so it was very business like. 'Inuyasha? Is
that really him?' Kagome asked herself when she saw the more mature
version of him sitting in front of her. He wore a midnight black
button down the front shirt and he had left the first few buttons
unbuttoned to reveal his muscular chest, he wore baggy jean pants and
the necklace that Kagome had given him for Christmas, he also wore
his usual black hat. 'I wonder why he always wears that bloody hat!
Maybe Kik-you gave it to him.' Kagome thought glairing at her glass
of water, and clenching her fists.
"Kagome? Are you all right?"
Inuyasha asked a little worried. She relaxed a bit when she looked up
into his gleaming eyes, and nodded that she was.
"Yo...Miroku
I kinda hate to interrupt.... okay not really but anyway we kinda
need to go." Inuyasha said impatiently rapping his fingers against
the table. "One minuet Kagome's Ojii-san is kakkoi man." Miroku
s said not looking away from the inquisitive grandfather. "Hay
Miroku." said a seductive voice from the door leading outside.
Miroku's head snapped up at the voice and said "On second
thought." and shot out the door grabbing Sango's hand as he went.
Kagome and her mom giggled and Inuyasha and her grandfather rolled
their eyes.
"Now be careful, look out for creeps, pick
pockets and anyone who wants to pick a fight, and stay out of
trouble." her mother said before lowering her voice to barely a
whisper. "And if something dose happen try your hardest to suppress
your ability until we can figure out what it is and how to control
it. Okay?" her mother said urgently. "I promise. Don't worry
everything will be fine." Kagome said reassuringly giving her
mother a hug before following Inuyasha out the door. "Uh hum."
Kagome coughed. Inuyasha looked at her then realized why and rolled
his eyes again and said, "Well if you two are done sucking each
others face anytime soon..." Inuyasha paused when he got no
reaction from the kissing couple except for Miroku indicating one
more minuet. He then gave up and said to Kagome. "Lets go. This is
a sickening sight." "I think its kawaii!" Kagome commented.
"Yah well you also think Godzilla is cute. Now if it was a bathing
suit model...it would be a whole nother story." Inuyasha said with
a sheepish grin. "No duh! That's every guy's fantasy! And
Godzilla is cute." Kagome retorted. "Yah.... A giant lizard
reeking havoc on Tokyo, real cute. So I guess the next thing your
gonna say is that he's just a misunderstood kind hearted creature?"
Inuyasha asked. "Damn straight he is." Kagome said smiling
widely. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "So where did this conversation
start out?" Kagome asked. "I have no idea." Inuyasha answered
just then noticing three things were missing. "Damn them! the left
without warning." Inuyasha said looking around for Miroku, Sango,
and Sango's car. Kagome shrugged and followed Inuyasha to his Fire
red Ferrie. "Thank-q" Kagome said when Inuyasha opened the door
for her, the buckled in and were off to the fair to have a nice time
together.
(meanwhile with Miroku and Sango)
"So
that's the story." Sango finished telling Miroku and Kaede about
what Kagome had gone through throughout her life and ended with the
question, "So what was that flash of purplish-pink light?" Miroku
sat quietly thinking, Kaede spoke first. "Okay let ye get this
straight....Kagome went through a life of tourcher in school. She had
never released the pain in some way; it had just kept building up
inside of her. Right?" the young girl tried to straiten out the
story. Sango nodded. "I see. I'm surprised she didn't become a
'cutter' but glad she didn't. Well from what I understand can
make only one assumption, I have never met her so I can't be sure
until I do. She feels a connection to all life, of all kinds
especially demons and dragons because she has a pure heart." Kaede
explained. "pure heart?" Sango asked confused. "Yes. She dosent
keep hate in her soul, only love and sorrow for those around her."
Kaede translated. "So what dose it mean to have a pure heart?"
Sango asked still confused. "It means that all of her four spirits
work together to form one pure one. The spirits that form our soul
are Arami tama, Nikimi tama, Fushigi tama, and Sakimi tama." Miroku
answered. "Ah ye be correct!" said a happy little Kaede, "So
what do all those mean?" Sango asked. "Well Armi Tama represents
curage, Nikimi tama is friendship, Fushigi tama is wisdom and Sakimi
tama is love. When those four spirits work properly we are called
Naobi our heart is kept to good." Miroku said. "Okay I think I
get it now. Kagome is a Naobi. But what is with the flash of
purplish-pink?" Sango asked. "Simple really. Kagome is one of the
last miko's. When she surpressed all the hurt inside over all those
years it kept building up inside of her. Sango you said that she said
that when that girl had said that one remark she felt like a bolt of
lightning had struck her heart, her soul, it was enough to puncture
the wound in her heart and let lose a little bit of the pain. My
guess is that that girl was a demon and Kagome's soul wanted to
purify her and protect itself from breaking. So the purplish-pink
flash of light was that of a miko protecting its soul. But if that
energy is released in such a way again it could be certain death. The
only prevention is to keep her happy and clam until she can control
her miko powers." Kaede said taking a sip of tea, her long black
hair flowing over her shoulders. Both Sango and Miroku were wide eyed
in shock at the new information afraid for their friend. "How can
she learn to control them?" Sango asked shakily. "Either or maybe
both of us would be best. Miroku and I could teach her, I mean after
all I helped my sister control hers and now she's a master with her
miko powers." Kaede said smiling widely at him and his 'They
don't know yet' face.
"Oh so ye haven't told them yet!
ye must do so soon for it could help you. 1. with keeping Kagome calm
2. to ward off unwanted demons with the exception of one and 3. to
help you in dangerous situations." She said taking another sip of
tea. "Tell us what?" asked Sango suspicially looking from Kaede
to Miroku. Miroku sighed and said "Well now I have no choice! I
have been studdying to become a monk." "A monk you have got to be
kidding me!" Sango said bursting out in laughter, Kaede held back
her laugh as best as she could seeing what Sango meant. "No I'm
not." Miroku said a bit annoyed. "He is telling the truth no
matter how extream it seems, but he is quite good at it, he's in
one of the advanced classes." Kaede said smiling at Sango's
reaction of reaised eyebrows. "Huh. Well that would be the first
thing I would least suspect considering his grades in school pretty
much suck! So you....Miroku the leach swore off of women. No getting
married for you!" Sango said smiling. "Yes and No. Yes to some
extent I have sworn off of women, but that's only because I feel I
have met the right one. And No because things aren't like they were
in the old days, monks can now get married and its not considered a
sin." Miroku said to the heavily blushing Sango. 'She looks so
beautiful and sexy tonight, I mean she always dose but tonight its
more than usual. I either want to show her off or keep her all to my
self. I wanted to take her through the 'Tunnel of Love' at the
fair but she insisted to come to Kaede first.' Miroku thought
before inching his hand towards Sango who swatted it away before it
could get to her. 'Right now who is Kagome not the fondest of?'
Kaede asked.
(Inuyasha and Kagome)
The two had been
waiting in line to get in for almost an hour, and Inuyasha was
starting to get both annoyed at how long the line was and antsy for
having to wait in it. "Stop jumping up and down in those shoes!
We're almost there!" Kagome said putting her hands on his
shoulders trying to hold him still. He looked at her startled but he
subsided his small jumping movements. "Hello. How many?" asked
the ticket master. "Two." grunted Inuyasha handing the man the
money and taking one of the tickets and handing it to Kagome. "She's
a pretty one. Hold on to her." the man said with a wink. Inuyasha
just looked at him with a weird expression before leading a blushing
Kagome inside.
"So where do you wanna go first?" Inuyasha
asked looking around. "Anything that doesn't spin in fast
circles." Kagome said a little wearily. "But those are the best
kind." Inuyasha said "Not for me. I can do flips, turns, loops,
and a little spinning but I cant do fast spinning, the outcome is not
a pretty thing." she warned. Inuyasha snorted before saying "Then
how about some games for now?" "Okay." Kagome said following
him to the nearest game booth. "Step right up! If you can shoot out
the entire red star with 100 bullets you win one of these lovely
prizes!" said the booth director pointing to a small area full of
extremely large stuff animals. "Ooh Inuyasha, look at that cute
dog!" Kagome said pointing to a snow-white dog. "I'll give it a
go." he said to the man in charge. "Three dollars please. Thank
you." the man said. Inuyasha picked up the gun and took careful aim
before pulling the trigger. Kagome watched intently before a sharp
chill went up her spine.
She turned to see what had caused it,
but saw nothing. "And we have a winner! Which do you want kid?"
the man asked, Inuyasha nodded at the dog. "Hay Kagome. Here." he
said to Kagome who turned from her scanning of the crowd looking for
the cause of the shiver. "Oh you won! Oh how kawaii!" she said
hugging Inuyasha who smiled pleased with himself before realizing he
now had to carry a gigantic dog around all night. Kagome took his
hand in hers and like a excited little kid pulled him toward the
'Free Fall' one of her favorite rides. They stood in line for
about 10 minuets before getting to the gate to get let on the ride.
"Um. can I leave this here for now?" Inuyasha asked indicating
the dog, the man nodded. "Come on!" Kagome said dragging him by
the hand and sitting down and securing herself inside tightly. "Geze
and you call me antsy!" Inuyasha said watching her dangling feet
swing back and forth. "I cant help it." she said shrugging it
off, before being jerked by the ride starting up. It took them up to
the top and stopped just letting them hang there suspended high in
the air for several minuets. "God this is boring." Inuyasha said
before hearing a very faint 10, 9, 8, countdown in the distance. "Hay
look! You can see my house from heeeeeerrrree!" Kagome screamed as
they literally fell right down to the bottom. Kagome looked surprised
and Inuyasha faked yawned. "Oh come on it wasn't that boring!"
Kagome exclaimed slapping his arm lightly in a playful way. Inuyasha
smiled pleased with her reaction, picked up the stuffed dog before
being dragged off to another ride.
They rode rides upon rides
until their heads hurt. Inuyasha even managed to get Kagome on a few
that spun fast towards the end. "Uhhh....I think that last one did
it for me..." Kagome said clutching her stomach before her eyes
grew big and ran to the restrooms. Inuyasha chuckled. Inside the
restroom Kagome was rinsing her mouth out trying to get rid of the
taste of regurgitated sushi out of it. She jerked as she felt another
shiver run through her body, this time stronger than before.
"Oh
hello Inuyasha." said a seductive voice behind him. He turned to
see Kikyou and her two friends and a little girl standing there. "Hi
Kikyou." he said. "What no hi's for us?" Yura asked. "Hi
Yura, Kagura, Kanna." he said shivering slightly as he said the
last name. "So why are you just standing here?" Kikyou asked,
walking with swaying hips and wrapping her arms around one of his.
"Kagome's in the restroom." he stated looking down into her
eyes. "Oh well will you go on a ride with me until she comes back?
Kagura, Yura and Kanna can tell her where you are for us." Kikyou
suggested through batted eyes. Inuyasha hesitated before reliantly
agreeing. (A/N: Okay this might get a little confusing but bear with
me. Kikyou is a miko in this story and she knows how to control her
powers so she has a few abilities like being telepathic, so I will
use () to represent her talking telepathically. So yah that's
what's going on. Okay back to the story!)
(Back with
Sango and Miroku)
Both Sango and Miroku looked at each other
before answering the young girl infrount of them. "Well she sorta
doesn't like Koga, she doesn't know them personally but she has
met them and I could see the distaste in her eyes Yura and Kagura,
and I really hate to say this but at least she's not the only one
she really doesn't like Kikyou." Sango said, and saw the little
girl close her eyes. "I'm sorry Kaede but..." Sango started to
say but Kaede cut her off. "That's not why I closed my eyes....
It's because Kikyou mumbled something before she left for the fair.
'I am the only one that can have him. Not that wench look alike,
nothing will stand in my way.'" Kaede concluded sadly just now
realizing whom her older sister had meant. Sango and Miroku looked at
each other again, worry showed on their faces, a tear trickled down
Sango's cheek; Miroku wiped it away gently saying. "Now none of
that. Its not too late yet." "I know, but after all the torture
she went through.... I'm not sure she can take much more." Sango
said turning to Kaede. "Miroku is right, there is still time to
stop my sister." Kaede said standing up. "Lets go." they all
said in determination.
(Back to Inuyasha and Kagome)
Kagome
came out of the restroom to find Inuyasha gone. "Kagome." called
a voice from behind her. She turned to see Yura, Kagura and what she
supposed was Kagura's younger sister Kanna. 'Sango's right she
dose give you the willies.' Kagome thought as she observed the
white haired girl carrying a mirror. "What do you want?" asked
Kagome. "Don't you want to know where your dear Inuyasha is?"
Yura asked with a smirk. "Where is he? What have you done to him?"
Kagome demanded all cheerfulness leaving her. "Oh we haven't done
anything to him. Yet. But he's not what we're after." Kagura
said nodding and both her and Yura came and took Kagome by the arms.
"Don't worry we wont hurt you. Much. We just want to show you
some things." Yura said smiling. Kagome struggled to get away from
the girls, but their grips just got tighter. Stop struggling its no
use. said a very familiar voice. Kagome subsided her struggling to
look for the voice. "Ah. I see she has finally talked to you."
Kagura observed. "What do you mean? Where is she?" Kagome asked.
I'm right here. Sitting next to Inuyasha. Kikyou's voice echoed
throughout her head. "Her miko powers give her many abilities but
her specialty is being telepathic. She is no where near here but she
is able to talk to you and us without anyone's notice." Kagura
said smirking. "She's a miko? but how is that possible? Miko's
died out over a hundred years ago, no ones heard or seen a miko since
then. But it dose explain a lot....like how a arrow could put someone
in a coma!" Kagome yelled the anger rising in her. I may have shot
that arrow but he struck me first! Kikyou said angrily. "Tell me.
If you two were so in love how come you tried to kill each other?"
Kagome asked trying to get at least some information out of the
situation. Shut up! That is none of your business! Kikyou yelled
making Kagome scream out in pain. "Yes mam. Follow me." said the
small emotionless voice of Kanna. The three followed the girl through
the crowds of people. "Here." is all she said stopping in front
of a very large Farris wheel. Kagura nodded again to Yura who nodded
back. Yura then took a tighter hold on Kagome who yelped as the girl
dug her nails into her arms, causing small trickles of blood to fall.
Kagura walked right up to the operator of the ride and said
"I'll give you 50 dollars if you don't let anyone else but us
on this ride and stop it at the top until farther notice." Kagura
said holding out a fifty. "Make it seventy and you have a deal."
the man grunted. "Fine. Here. Come." she said giving the man the
money and leading the way to the large circular cabin. Yura shoved
Kagome inside before getting in herself, followed closely by Kagura
and Kanna.
"What do want with me?" Kagome growled as the
ride started up. "We don't want anything to do with you." Yura
said. "Then why are you doing this?" Kagome asked But that's
the point. We don't want anything to do with you so we put together
a film called 'A blast from the past' and you have a front row
seat, and you are going to revisit all your forgotten and painful
memories. Kikyou said the anger vibrating in her words causing
Kagome to clench her teeth as her head started to pound again. The
Farris wheel stopped with a jerk at the top, Kagome peered out the
window and saw that there was no escaping the torment set before her.
"Shell we?" asked Yura "Yes I think we shall. Kanna."
Kagura said looking at her younger sister. "look." Kanna said
emotionlessly holding up the round mirror. Kagome stared in horror as
a image of her father appeared in the mirror. He was on his death bed
eyes bearly open, a little girl stood crying being held back by
nurses, she saw her mother crying, holding a infant in her arms who
was also crying sensing something was wrong. She saw her self trying
to get free from the two nurses, she yanked her arms away and ran to
her dieing father. He looked at her and smiled then at his wife and
son and managed to say 'I love...you all...my family.' before his
body went limp. Her mother screamed out 'NO!' and Kagome ran from
the room screaming. The image disappeared wiping the mirror blank.
Kagome sat crying and shaking remembering the pain she had felt when
her father had past away.
Oh is that a memory you were
trying to forget? How about this one. Kikyou's voice echoed to a
faint whisper as another image appeared on the mirror. She saw
herself sitting on a bench under the Goshimboku tree outside her
shrine. Her mother came and sat down and cradled her daughter in her
arms as they watched boxes being carried to a moving truck. The
Kagome in the mirror looked up and saw a little boy that looked about
a year older than her. He had silver hair and little dog ears poking
up out of it, but his face looked oddly familiar. When he saw her
look up he fled from the tree. "It couldn't be...could it?"
Kagome whispered under her breath. No one in the carriage said
anything.
More memories flashed across the mirror pausing at
the more painful ones. Kagome's tears were falling freely now, not
caring if she got made fun of for it, she knew she had a reason to.
"stop it! please stop it!" she pleaded weakly tears streaming
down her face. Oh but I'm having much to fun to stop now. Kikyou
laughed. "Shut up this is not funny!" Kagome screamed as she saw
another memory swirl into view.
Suddenly Kagome started to
glow a light shade of purple. Two of the three girls stared in
confusion the other not making the slightest movement. The mirror
stopped at one memory that pained her as much if not more than her
fathers death. She stared tears streaming down her cheeks as the face
of the girl that haunted her dreams for the past year come into view.
She saw the word duel as clear as if it was happening that very
second, hearing things she hadn't then. "Stop it! Stop it!" she
screamed standing up in anger. Her head was pounding she felt like it
was about to explode, she could hear Kikyou's laughter in the back
round.
(Back to Miroku and Sango)
"We have to find
her!" Sango said Miroku nodded. They were almost to the gates when
Kaede said something. "We must hurry! I can sense something bad is
about to happen." "Three immediate tickets in, coming right up.
Move aside! Coming through!" Miroku said pushing through the people
to get to the front.
(Back to Kagome)
"Please! Stop
it! Stop it!" she begged the tears starting to fall harder. The
purple aura was growing larger, Kagome was unaware of what was
happening. Yura and Kagura were starting to show fear.
(Back
to Miroku and Sango)
"Hurry do you sense Inuyasha
anywhere?" Sango asked. "Over there!" Kaede said pointing
towards the 'Tunnel of Love'. "What are you sure?" Miroku
asked. "as sure as I'll ever be! Now come on!" Kaede said
grabbing his hand and dragging him towards the ride.
(Back to
Kagome)
'How can anyone love you?' "Stop it!" 'Your
father was probably happy when he died' "Stop it!" 'he would
never see the Freak of a daughter he had ever again.' The girl in
the mirror said followed by the chants of 'Freak' ringing through
the halls. Kagome was crying so hard now she had to gasp for breath .
Oh have you had enough? Fine but her is a little memory of my own.
Kikyou said laughing a menacing laugh.
Kagome forced her eyes
open still gasping for breath. She watched in horror as Kikyou and
Inuyasha walked hand in hand to the 'Tunnel of Love.' They got on
the ride and it started to go, pain struck through Kagome as she saw
them huddle close together. 'Inuyasha what do you like about
Kagome?' Kikyou asked. 'Truthfully I don't know myself.' he
answered. 'Inuyasha do you still love me?' Kikyou asked wrapping
her arms around Inuyasha. 'I...I do.' he answered bringing Kikyou
into an embrace before kissing her on the lips. The kiss never ended,
the picture was frozen in place on the mirror.
Kagome's
whole world shattered into a million pieces at that moment, the pain
unlike anything she had ever felt before, she didn't understand why
it hurt so much. She felt the anger and sadness that she held up
inside her burst, trying to get out. "STOP IT!" she screamed at
the top of her lungs. Suddenly she went limp and rose into the air,
the purple aura expanded greatly, it was now visible throughout the
entire fair, everyone could see, it the people stopped to stare at
the mass of purple light.
"Lets go." Kagura said opening
the cabin door and taking out one of her oriental feather pins. She
threw the pin out the door and leaped out of the cabin and landed in
mid air on a now giant feather, she took one last look back before
soaring away. Yura took out a red comb and swished it through the air
once making a trail of invisible hair. She took a hold of a clump and
swung out, doing a double back flip then a front flip and landed in a
squatting position on the ground. She stood up in one swift movement
then walked away like nothing happened, the crowed parted nervously,
a few people screamed. Kanna merely disappeared.
(Back to
Miroku and Sango)
"Inuyasha!" the three worried friends
yelled out to the boy holding Kikyou's hand. "Oh so you finally
got here." Inuyasha said a little annoyed at their lateness.
Suddenly a Bright purple light grew. "Oh no...It's begun!"
Kaede said. "What have you done!" yelled Miroku to Kikyou and
Inuyasha. Kikyou smirked Inuyasha just looked confused. "What has
who done?" he asked. "That witch called Kikyou is trying to kill
Kagome!" shrieked Sango who lunged at Kikyou, Miroku grabbed Sango
before she got to Kikyou.
"LET ME AT THAT BITCH!" Sango
screamed looking at the smiling Kikyou. "Fighting her wont save
Kagome!" Miroku said trying his hardest to hold his, over angered
girlfriend. "Inuyasha where is Kagome?" Kaede asked "I...I
don't know." he answered the young girl in front of him ashamed
of himself.
(Back to Kagome)
Kagome's limp body hung
in the air, the energy was so great not that she was engulfed in it,
the color was deeping. Suddenly there was a crack, followed by
shattering of glass. Creaking noises could be heard along with the
snapping and crashing of the Farris wheel giving way beneath her. She
briefly regained consciousness and screamed with all her might
"INUYASHA!" before releasing the energy which covered the whole
fair in one big wave of purple.
(Back to Miroku, Sango and
Inuyasha)
"INUYASHA!" they heard loudly over the screams
of people. "Oh my God!" Sango screamed then turned and collapsed
into Miroku's comforting arms. "Inuyasha hurry! Theirs still time
to save her!" Miroku said before hearing the crash and banging of
the Farris wheel beginning to fall. Inuyasha didn't even hesitate
he quickly ran off at a nonhuman speed and leaped up into the air
soaring towards the direction the scream had come from. He then saw
her but just bearly through the thick mass of purple fog she was
floating in. He just managed to dodge the Farris wheel as it came
crashing down to the ground, and exploded in a mass of flames. Kagome
was still floating more than fifty feet into the air. Inuyasha
watched in horror as another wave of light swept over the fair, the
cold chill made him shiver. Kagome started to fall, Inuyasha leaped
up and caught her before she even came close the ground.
"Kagome....Kagome...Kagome don't die!" he told her,
holding her tight to his body. Hurrying out of the crowed of people
trying to see what had happened and dodging the flames were Sango,
Miroku and Kaede. They slowed to a walk when they saw Inuyasha slid
to the ground still holding Kagome's limp body, unsure of what to
think. "Are we too late?" Miroku whispered. "No. She can't
be. I wont allow it!" Inuyasha said in pain a tear trickling from
his eyes. "She has a pulse. Though its very faint." Kaede said
looking from teary face to teary face.
"Please... Please
let her live!" Inuyasha cried out another tear fell, hitting her
lips. Just then there was a glowing of pinkish right over her heart.
Inuyasha looked down and fiddled with a chain around her neck pulling
out the necklace he had given her for Christmas. The stone on the end
of it was glowing pink, and the light was growing brighter gently
rising out of his hand and into the air. The light of the stone
covered Kagome then the stone itself disappeared. Kagome took in a
sharp breath and her eyes fluttered open for a few seconds; she
smiled then passed out again. But this time her pulse and breathing
remained steady.
"Sango its alright. She'll live." Kaede
said in relief. Sango looked up from Miroku's arms, her tear soaken
face and puffy eyes shined in the light of the fire that was now
encircling them. Inuyasha sat there staring off into nothingness
listing to the crackling of flames. They heard sirens in the distance
getting louder every minuet. "Inuyasha we must go." Kaede said
her hair whipping i n the wind. Inuyasha didn't say anything, he
slowly stood up still holding Kagome close to him and waited until
Miroku and sang stood beside him. "I can clear a path but we must
hurry through, it won't last long." Miroku said. He took a few
steps forward, placed his two pointer and thumb fingers together
closed his eyes begun to chant. There was a slight break in the
flame; it parted a fare amount but not enough to let a person through
unharmed. Kaede took up a place next to Miroku and mimicked actions
chanting along with him. The two combined were able to make the small
part in the flames gradually grow larger until was large enough for
two people to walk side by side through. Miroku still holding his
hands in the same position opened his yes and nodded. Inuyasha and
Kagome were the first to go through the flame-ridden pathway.
Inuyasha carried Kagome's limp body holding her close to him and
making sure the heat of the flames wouldn't singe her beautiful
raven hair. He walked through the flames that were licking the air
around them, feeling the heat against his face. The path way started
to falter when they got out.
"Sango hurry! Kaede you to."
Miroku said continuing to chant. Both Sango and Kaede hesitated. "I
said go!" Miroku yelled at them. The two girls ran through the
pathway glancing at the flame walls as they went. When they got out
the firewalls closed together sealing the only escape. "Miroku!"
Sango screamed. "I can't open the path again, I'm too weak!"
Miroku yelled. "Try!" Sango yelled back. "Its no use Ahhhh!"
Miroku yelled as the ring of fire grew smaller and thicker. "Miroku!"
Sango screamed again. "Mew." chirped something down by Sango's
feet "Keylala? What are you doing here?" Sango asked not
expecting an answer. "Mew." The little kitten chirped again
looking up at Sango then the ring of fire. Its ears twitched.
Suddenly she ran towards the fire and her body grew in size, a loud
roar was heard as she leaped up into the air and landed on the other
side of the firewall with Miroku. "Na-ni?!" Sango said when she
saw what had just happened. The now giant cat leaped over the fire
and landed in front of Sango, it had a fainted Miroku on its
back.
The cat was the size of a small horse, large enough for
two full-grown people and a child to sit on. Its feet were encircled
with small flames though they didn't seem to bother it in anyway,
and its two front cannies were like that of a saber tooth tiger.
Sango cautiously walked up and took Miroku off of its back, when she
did so it roared and nuzzled her hand in a comforting way, then
changed back into its kitten form. "Sango we must go now, people
are getting suspicious of us, and I cant afford that." Inuyasha
said before leaping into the air with Kagome towards his car. The
small kitten looked around then transformed back into the giant cat
form and walked up to Sango and nudged her hand. Sango nodded
understanding and got on placing Miroku in front of her. "Come on
Kaede." Sango sad helping the little girl up behind her. Keylala
roared and leaped into the air flying in the direction Inuyasha had.
They landed next to Sango's car which just so
happened to be next to Inuyasha's. Inuyasha was sitting on the
ground still holding Kagome, looking really depressed. "Inuyasha
are you okay?" Sango asked. Inuyasha was jerked out f his thoughts
at the sound of his name. He only shrugged in answer "Where should
she stay? She cant stay at her home because it's to far for me to
get there in case of emergency. We cant take her to the hospital
because they'll ask too many questions and would let unwanted
visitors in. She isn't safe at my house, and Sango already has to
take care of Kohaku and she also lives to far away. And I most
certainly don't trust her with Miroku." Kaede said pondering.
"I'll let her stay at my place." Inuyasha said. "Are you
sure? I mean with Sesshomaru and all." Sango said. "She'll be
safer there than anyplace else. Don't worry Kagura wouldn't even
know she was there and Sesshomaru wouldn't tell anyone not even
Kagura, he doesn't talk much. Rin would be just overjoyed and
begging to help." Inuyasha reassured everyone. "Fine. But I need
to come over to help heal her." Kaede said. Inuyasha said gently
lying Kagome in the back seat of the car. "Don't let Kikyou or
anyone come near her!" Sango warned. "Keh! You know I wont."
Inuyasha said getting in his car and starting it up before driving
away with a wave.
