Two Days Later
"Mama…OW!" Kagome cried.
Her mother slowly placed her arms under her daughters back, so she could pick her up and move her into the wheel chair.
"Ouch! Don't touch my arm… Mama!"
"Gomen…" She apologized. She tried again to lift her but it just caused more cries of pain. "Never mind. I'll go call the doctor. Maybe he could help."
"No wait, why not have Inuyasha help. He's strong enough." Kagome suggested.
Inuyasha looked over, hearing his name mentioned. Crossing his arms he said, "Fine." He walked over to the bed and put his arms under Kagome's back, while her mother lifted her legs. Kagome rested her head on Inuyasha's chest, as they carried her to the wheel chair. They let her down gently and Kagome's mother went around to the back of the chair and wheeled Kagome out of the room. Inuyasha followed beside them.
About ten minutes later they arrived back at the house. Inuyasha gently helped Kagome into the wheel chair again and they pushed her over to the front door and helped her in. As they pushed her into the living room, she was stunned to see a few of her friends from school (including Hojo) shout "Surprise!"
It's my birthday! She thought. I completely forgot!
"Happy birthday… Kagome! What happened!?" Cried Yuka.
"Kagome-chan! Are you ok?!" Asked Eri.
"I'm fine, you don-"
Inuyasha hopped in front of her and stood, arms crossed defensively. He eyed the only other guy in the room, Hojo, with a suspicious look.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said, " Stop it… they're my friends."
Inuyasha growled and moved behind Kagome.
Kagome's mother pushed her over to the couch and said, "Happy birthday dear!" Turning to everyone else she said, "I'll go get some food ready."
Inuyasha took his seat beside at the end of the couch, close to Kagome.
"Kagome-chan! You have to tell us what happened? Are you alright?" Eri asked again. "We wondered why you weren't at school. Your mother told us you were away and that you'd be back today… We didn't know!"
"She just didn't want to worry you!" Kagome explained quickly. "I was in the hospital… again. I got into a fight."
Her friends gasped in surprise. Kagome, one of the nicest and kindest people they knew, had gotten into a fight.
Kagome noticed the looks on her friends faces so she added quickly, "It's nothing to worry about, I'm fine really!"
"Kagome-sama {1}, you don't look alright," Said Hojo, walking up to her, "I brought some medicinal herbs for you." He handed her a package.
"Uh, arigato Hojo-kun." She said, taking the package from his hands. She placed it on the floor beside her and looked up, her eyes meeting his. She quickly looked away.
"So Kagome, who's your friend?" Asked Eri.
"I'm Inu-" He began.
Kagome interrupted him, saying, "His name is Inuyasha. He's…my, uh,"
"Boyfriend?" Yuka finished.
"What? No way," Said Kagome, turning red. She looked away and said, "He's a…a cousin."
Eri rolled her eyes and Yuka and Ayumi laughed. Hojo, who was still standing in front of her, began speaking again, drawing her attention back to him.
"Kagome, you know, when you're feeling better, if you want I could help you with homework. I know how far behind you are and everything…" Hojo stopped mid-sentence and looked at Inuyasha who had his teeth barred and was growling.
With her good arm, Kagome elbowed him and whispered, "Shut up, he's just trying to be nice." Turning back to Hojo, she noticed behind him, her friends were whispering and giggling. She rolled her eyes.
Making sure she was loud enough that her friends would hear as well she said, "Actually, my mom has agreed, so I've decided I'm going to be home schooled."
Her friends smiles faded away and they all looked shocked.
"What?" Yuki, Ayumi, and Eri all chorused.
"Kagome, are you sure?" Hojo asked.
"It's the best thing, with me being so… sick all the time."
Inuyasha raised his eyebrows at the comment. She's never sick, he thought. Kagome noticed his expression and whispered, "That's what we say when I go to Sengoku Jidai." He nodded and she
said, "Let's not worry about that right now. Let's get on with the party!"
Her friends sat in silent disbelieve until Yuka finally said, "We better make the best of this. It's probably one of the last time's we'll see Kagome in while!"
So the party went on, with lot's of food and drinks and laughter. Her friends filled her in on the latest gossip and they just chatted about different teachers and exams.
"So, Kagome… why don't you open gifts now!" Said Ayumi motioning to a pile of gifts beside her.
"Oh, guys! You shouldn't have!" She exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it! Just open them!" Eri said, passing her the five gifts. Kagome took them and put them on Inuyasha's lap.
"Hold onto them for me, ok?" She asked. He nodded his head and she began to open the first one.
She took out the card, but it slipped from her fingers. She bent down to pick it up and the Shikon jewel slid out from within her shirt. She sat up, not taking notice that it was in plain sight for all to see.
As she took the card out of the envelope, Hojo noticed the jewel. His eyes were drawn to it and he couldn't pull them away. He was captivated by it's alluring beauty.
Inuyasha noticed the human boy's strange look and said, "What're you staring at?"
Hojo heard Inuyasha and knew that he must be talking to him, but nonetheless his eyes stayed fixed on the jewel.
"Oi! Did you hear me? What are you staring at?" He asked, a bit louder. Kagome noticed this time and looked up from reading the card. She noticed that Hojo was staring at something around her neck. She looked down and gasped.
Inuyasha immediately turned to her and was about to ask what was wrong when he noticed the jewel.
"Kag-" He started, but Hojo interrupted him.
When Hojo spoke, it wasn't his voice that came out. It was someone else.
"Miko…" It began. The voice was deep and harsh. "Give me the jewel now, or suffer the consequences!"
"What?!" She asked, fear coating her voice. Hojo stood up and began walking over to her. He put his hand in his jacket and was about to pull something out, when Inuyasha jumped in front of Kagome.
"Inuyasha, do not interfere!" It warned.
"Who ever you are, if you come any closer I'll rip you to pieces!" He growled.
"No matter," The voice said, beginning to chuckle. He moved away and walked over to where Eri, Ayumi and Yuka were sitting. They didn't look the least bit scared. In fact they weren't even looking at Hojo.
"Move!" Kagome screamed to her friends. Not one of them looked over.
"They cant hear you. They're in a trance. I could kill any one of them and you cant do a thing to stop me. Remember I'm in the body of a human boy. You kill me and you'll be charged with murder!"
Inuyasha didn't listen to what he was saying. He just lunged at him and grabbed him by the neck. They landed on the floor, a few things falling from shelves.
"Inuyasha! Please don't hurt him!!" Kagome cried.
Kagome's mother ran in, hearing the commotion.
"What the-?" She started.
"Something happened. I cant explain now. Just get them out of here!" Kagome interrupted, pointing to her friends. She nodded and began taking the girls, one by one, out of the room.
Meanwhile Inuyasha pinned Hojo to the ground. He held his hands around the boy's neck.
Kagome sat helplessly in her wheelchair.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha questioned. When Hojo didn't answer Inuyasha squeezed his neck tighter. "Tell me!"
The boy began to grin and said, "Naraku will live once more…" Then he closed his eyes.
Inuyasha loosened his grip, and then stood up.
"Inuyasha! What if he's still possessed!?" Kagome cried.
"He's not. His breathing is back to normal. I can hear it." He explained. "He's just unconscious."
Kagome looked down at Hojo, who was lying on the ground. He looked like he was just sleeping.
"Inuyasha?" She asked.
"Yah?" He replied.
"I'm scared…" She said. Inuyasha walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. I'll protect you." He told her. She looked up at him as Hojo began to wake. They both looked down at him.
As he opened his eyes, her friends walked in. They all looked as if they had just woken up from a long sleep.
"Kagome?" Yuka asked. "What were we doing?"
"I feel really strange." Eri commented.
"Ya," Ayumi added, "The last thing I remember is you about to open a card. And why is
Hojo-kun lying on the floor?"
He sat up and rubbed his eyes, "What happened? I remember seeing a sparkling jewel, but nothing else… Kagome?"
Kagome bit her lip, and thought, I better think up a story… and quick!!
"Uh…Ya… Ya that's because I was opening a card, and then… I, uh, started coughing. Ya, and you three ran to get me some water! And uh, Hojo fainted… Ya that's right." Whew! That was close.
"Um, ok…?" Said Eri. Her friends seemed to buy the story, but Kagome was still restless. She couldn't get the last thing that the voice had said. 'Naraku will live once more.' What did it mean.
She was certain Naraku was dead. It would take someone very powerful to bring back a soul from hell.
But who would do that? Everyone wanted Naraku dead, even Sesshomauru!
Kagome continued opening her gifts, her mind elsewhere. She received a gift certificate to a health store, from Hojo, and an assortment of jewellery and clothing from Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi. The fourth box, from Souta, contained about 15 packages of ramen. Inuyasha certainly seemed to brighten up after that gift.
The last gift was from her mother. On the tag it said, 'To the new priestess of our shrine."
She smiled with pride, as her mom walked in with the food she had finally got around to preparing after all the commotion.
"You're opening mine?" She asked, placing the tray of food on the table. She took her seat beside Inuyasha.
Kagome tore the first layer of wrapping paper off and opened the box. Inside was something she would never have expected.
"Mama?" She said, looking at the gift.
"Take it out. You should try it on." Her mother suggested.
"C'mon, we wanna see what it is!" Eri complained.
Kagome threw the wrapping paper on the floor and took the contents out of the box.
"Wow … Kagome…?" Yuka asked.
Kagome got a better look at the present as she held it up. Long red pants and the white haori. Traditional priestess uniform. I should probably explain this, she thought.
"Since I'll have a lot of time on my hands, being home schooled, and since jii-san is getting old, we thought it would be best if I took care of the shrine and became the priestess for our shrine." She revealed.
"Kagome!" Said Yuka, standing up. "You should try it on. I'll help you." She walked over to Kagome wheel chair and pushed her out of the room.
"Yuk-" She started. Wait… what's the point? When Yuka goes on one of her rampages it's better just to follow along.
They entered a spare room and Yuka helped Kagome stand up.
"You really hurt yourself Kagome."
No kidding, Kagome thought. A broken leg, a broken arm, a sprained wrist, major burns on my unbroken leg, a few broken ribs, a cracked collar bone, and a concussion. Yup, I hurt myself pretty bad.
"Kagome, who is this Inuyasha guy? He is sonot your cousin. I can tell from the way you look at him. Is this that guy… the one who dumped you but you got back together with?"
"No!" She said, her face turning red.
"It is!" Yuka exclaimed.
"Fine, it is!" Kagome confided. "Just please, don't tell anyone!"
Yuka helped Kagome out of her top and into the other one.
"Ow!" Kagome cried, pain shooting up her broken arm.
"Gomen!" Yuka apologized.
Yuka passed Kagome her crutches and helped her to stand up. Kagome leaned on the crutches as she pulled her skirt down with her good arm and pulled up the pants of her new outfit. Yuka helped tie the pants as she asked, "So how come we've never met this guy before?"
"Well, you know how it is," She said, beginning to get nervous, "He, uh, he is very busy with school and exams and such." Yuka pulled her hair back and tied it with a piece of cloth. She left to strands hanging loose at the front. She was imitating a picture she had seen.
"What's with the hair and long nails? And those strange eyes... You hardly ever see anyone with amber eyes."
Kagome was quick to explain. Perhaps a little to quick. Yuka didn't look like she quite believed her. Kagome said, "He wears contacts and, uh, in his, uh family…they're naturists. They don't believe in cutting hair or nails." She sighed in relief.
"There's still something funny about him…" Yuka muttered. "Well there you go." She stood back and looked at Kagome. "Wow… You really do look like a priestess."
Kagome stayed standing and said, "Maybe I should use the crutches. I'm getting tired of being pushed around in this wheelchair." Kagome tottered over to the mirror on the door. She looked at herself and amazed at her transformation. She looked like she was from the warring states era.
"Let's go back and show everyone." Yuka held the door open as Kagome hobbled through, leaning on her crutches.
They walked into the living room and Yuka said, "Ta da!"
Everyone turned around to look at her. Eri and Ayumi each sported the same expression Yuka had when she had looked at Kagome in her new uniform. She smiled at them and looked at Hojo. He had an indescribable look on his face. It was a mixture of astonishment and admiration. Kagome looked away, feeling bad that she could never return the feelings he had for her. She felt guilty in a way.
She turned her head and looked at her mother. Her mother smiled pleasantly back at her and nodded her head in approval.
As she turned to look at Inuyasha, it never crossed her mind what this would do to him. She remembered the last time she had worn something like this. Yes, that had been before she had gotten to know him this well, but still. He knew it. And she knew it too. She must look like…
"Kikyo…" He whispered longingly. Kagome looked at the ground, tears forming in her eyes.
She gripped her crutches tighter and tried not to cry.
Inuyasha stood up and looked at Kagome. He had the same look on his face that he had when she had saw him with Kikyo. Like he was trying to say something but couldn't.
She lifted her head up to face him, but he had already left. Surprise, surprise, she thought.
"Inuyasha…" She said, turning to the doorway. Hoping to see him come back and apologize. But no, that would never happen. Kagome just wasn't thatimportant to him.
She just wasn't Kikyo.
