"Wake up you idiot.." Inuyasha's slowly opened his eyes. He looked up to find Miroku standing over him. "Mir..Miroku? What the hell do you want?" Miroku sighed while putting a finger over his lips to hush the hanyou. "Everyone else is asleep. I want to show you something."
Inuyasha nodded while stretching out his arms. He silently stood up and followed the Monk. "This better be good." The Monk shrugged his shoulders and stopped right in front of Kagome. He pointed to the sleeping girl. "Inuyasha, do you see that." Inuyasha pushed the Monk aside and knelt by the sleeping girl.
"Why is she glowing?" The hanyou went to touch the girl but pulled his hand away quickly. "The aura around her is freezing."
The Monk knelt next to Inuyasha. "Im not sure what it is. Its covering her whole form. I woke up and found her this way." The hanyou nodded as he listened carefully. He could hear Kagome's heart beating normal and could smell her warm flesh. "Monk, she's fine physically it seems. Could this be her Miko powers?"
The Monk shrugged his shoulders while standing back up. "I cant really confirm that but it seems that way. Iv never seen anything like this. Do you think we should try and wake her up?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "If its her powers we should just let it alone. She seems perfectly fine. I cant smell any demons so its not her body reacting to that and if it could be from a jewel shard she would have woken up from sensing it. I'm guessing her powers are going through a natural process."
"Inuyasha, who would have thought of you being such a good observer." Inuyasha groaned as he stood up. "Can it Miroku! I'm heading back to sleep. You should too." With that the hanyou went back to where he was and allowed his eyes to shut.
The Monk stared at Kagome. He sighed as the girl mumbled something under her breath. He looked past Kagome to the girl sleeping next to her. With a smile on his face as he allowed himself to enter a dreamful state.
------------------
"I'm hungry! Can we please stop just for a little?" Inuyasha growled as he looked at the fox demon. "We ate this morning! You should be fine.." Kagome nudged Inuyasha. "Leave the kid alone. It has been awhile since we rested and last ate. Lets just stop for awhile."
Inuyasha eyed Kagome carefully as he nodded his consent. To him it wouldn't be worth pissing off Kagome. He didn't feel like being sat. "Fine, but just for a little bit. I wanna be at the village by nightfall." Kagome smirked as she opened up her overly large yellow backpack.
"Sooo Sango. Do you feel tense at all today? That last battle was a tough one." Sango eyed the Monk. "Depends on what you would do if I said I was.." The Monk smiled as his hand started to reach for its ultimate destination. But sadly he never made it there. A smack was loudly heard throughout the group. "Stupid Monk. Pervert!"
The Monk rubbed his face while smiling. "Kagome! Are you feeling alright today." Kagome stopped unloading the food and looked at the Monk wearily.
"Miroku..I feel perfectly fine. I don't need your help to 'loosen' me up or anything." Kagome turned to go back to what she was doing only to be face to face with a certain hanyou. "You don't feel weird or anything?" Kagome looked at the dog demon dumbfounded. "Why would I? Don't tell me your starting to try Miroku's lines!" The dog demon groaned as he pushed past Kagome. "No! I'm not into stuff like that…I just…" Before Inuyasha could continue Miroku's hand went over his mouth. "What he means to say, Kagome, is he just worry's about you a lot! Me and Inuyasha are going to the lake to wash up. Will be right back."
Kagome just stared as the men walked away.
-------
"Don't ever TOUCH ME again! And what do you mean I worry about her! Your going to get her thinking those dumb girly thoughts!" The Monk sighed as he washed his hands in the lake. "I don't think we should tell Kagome what we saw…"
Inuyasha stopped his ranting to look at the Monk. "What's the big deal. Obviously it wasn't anything serious if she's fine today. " The Monk shook his head. "Well even if it was her powers acting up…its really none of our business. Look, Naraku has a lot of spies looking for us. If one of them was to hear us…"
Inuyasha allowed his hands to soak in the stream by his feet. "If Naraku has so many spies they would have obviously seen her last night. It's not that well kept of a secret." The Monk nodded in agreement. "I don't know, maybe I just don't want to scare her. I know its really not that big of a deal, but me and you are use to this kind of stuff. Sure Kagome should be use to it by now, but this stuff is happening to her. I just want to talk to Kaede about it first. Kagome is Kikyos reincarnation after all."
Inuyasha sighed. He, of course, didn't see anything wrong with Kagome knowing. But these types of things are usually what got the hanyou in trouble. "Fine. I don't care."
The hanyou headed towards the scent of food.
-------
Kagome smiled as she looked down at the village. "Wow, isn't it beautiful! I would love to live in a place like this." Inuyasha groaned at her comments. "It looks like every other village we go to. As I think about it, you usually say that about every village." Kagome shrugged. "In the future everything's different. Its not as open and peaceful. Besides, when you come to the future you don't always seem so thrilled." The hanyou shrugged as he patted the miniature Kirara's head.
"Do you sense any jewel shard's Kagome?" Kagome shook her head. "This place is clear. We just need to find a place to stay for the night." The Monk nodded as he pointed at a rather large house.
"This place should do."
He went towards the house to start his 'exorcisms'.
------
Inuyasha held his tetsusaiga close to him as he looked out the door. The night was as black as his hair. "Inuyasha, why not try and get some sleep." Inuyasha turned his head and looked at Kagome. "You should know better than to ask me that." Kagome just smiled as she sat down next to the human Inuyasha.
"You have all of us to protect you." Inuyasha just gave a grunt as he looked back towards the sky. Silence filled the room for a moment until he continued which surprised Kagome. "Old habits die hard I guess." Kagome nodded her understanding while yawning. "Go back to bed Kagome. Its getting late and we have a long way to go tomorrow."
Kagome nodded. She stood to leave but stopped dead in her tracks.
"Inuyasha?" The hanyou looked up at Kagome while groaning.
"Demon…I knew it…" Kagome nodded while still standing still. "Inuyasha, he has many jewel shards."
Inuyasha groaned as he kicked Miroku to wake up. "Everyone get moving! Fast!"
With in moments everyone was awake and ready. "Kagome, can you tell me how many jewel shards there are?" Kagome went silent as she concentrated on the shards. She gasped. "Im feeling, maybe seven ..more?"
Inuyasha froze in fear. He knew that Naraku wanted him dead. This time he was being serious.
"We have no choice but to run away. Sango, Kagome, Shippo, and Inuyasha, get on Kirara and run for it." All of them could hear the villagers scream for their mercy. "Do we just let the demon kill the villagers? We cant just turn our backs on them." Miroku shook his head at Kagome. "We have to. The demon is much to powerful. We will wait till sunrise when Inuyasha can handle a battle like this and then come back."
On most occasions Inuyasha wouldn't listen to the Monk. But he was right. Even in his human form he could feel the demon and its power. There was no way any of them could handle the demon without the power of tetsusaiga.
"What are you going to do Miroku. You obviously cant hold him off by yourself." The Monk sighed as he looked at his options. "The demon will surely reach you guys if he's not slowed down. I will put a few spells on him and hopefully I can use my Wind Tunnel while you guys run for it. Now GO!"
With that the Monk ran outside. "Everyone get on Kirara!" As Kirara took off Sango jumped off. "SANGO!" Kagome could only look down helplessly as her friend ran to Miroku's side. "Inuyasha, we cant just leave them behind." Inuyasha nodded as they turned Kirara around.
