The Switch
Chapter Thirty-six: Kagome Fesses Up
Kagome slowly opened her eyes, and it took even slower for them to adjust. Kagome sat up and looked around. She was back in the caves of the hideout...and Yusuke was sleeping right beside her, his hand grasped firmly around hers. 'Oh...' Kagome smiled and observed the features on Yusuke's face. 'You know...it really has been a while since...'
Kagome leaned towards Yusuke slowly and poked his shoulder. on...wake up." Kagome said in a soothing voice. Yusuke's eyes shot open and he stared into hers. A long pause came and then...
"Yusuke..." Kagome said, her voice slightly choked up, and she hugged him tightly. Yusuke brought her head around and kissed her. After a while, they broke for a break and Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes. "I was so worried..."
"YOU WERE WORRIED?" Yusuke shouted, and Kagome knew that she was going to be in serious trouble. "WHAT DO YOU THINK I WAS? ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAKE UP AFTER THINKING I WAS DEAD, AND I FIND OUT YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T DIE! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT THERE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT YOU BETTER TELL ME!" Kagome's eyes widened. "IT SEEMS EVERYONE ELSE BUT ME KNOWS! EVEN KUWABAKA KNOWS!"
"Eh...if you could be quiet for just one little second..." Kagome started but Yusuke interrupted her.
"I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD!" Kagome sweat-dropped.
"If you want to know, I'll tell you." Yusuke became quiet. "But first...is Hiei angry as of late?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah...but I couldn't tell why." Yusuke then grinned. "Tessa seemed to get it pretty under control though." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"You're a little hentai-minded."
"GET ON WITH IT!"
"All right..."
Flashback
"I can't believe I'm doing this..." Kagome muttered as she closed another book and stacked it on the shelf. "Kikyou...what makes you so sure that the answer is in here?" A book caught Kagome's eye and she took it out of the shelf. The title read Tear Gems.
"Something tells me it's going to be in here..." Kagome opened the book, and ended up breathing in quite a large amount of dust. "Jeez...how long has it been since someone opened this thing?" Kagome looked at the date carved on the inside cover. "Ok...only a few hundred-thousand years. Nothing abnormal about that..." She muttered sarcastically.
An hour later
"I think this is it..." Kagome reread the passage in her head one more time, and then read it out loud."
End of Flashback
"So...what was the passage?" Yusuke asked.
"Well...first off...you need a koorime who was half fire...but did not display the abilities of a fire youkai, and it had to be a female."
"So...Yukina plays a big role in this."
"Yeah. Second off, if Yukina gave us tear-gem bracelets willingly, than those bracelets could mean the difference between life and death."
"OH THAT MAKES A WHOLE BUNCH OF SENSE!" Yusuke shouted, and Kagome glared at him.
"I'M NOT FINISHED! Ok...where was I...oh yeah. If a living creature like Naraku then kills the bearer of the bracelet that person's soul is put into the tear-gem, turning it to a crimson color."
"I don't see where you're going with this..."
"BE QUIET! Ok...uhm...if another bearer of the same kind of bracelet has the abilities of a miko and spirit energy abilities..."
"You."
"Yes. Anyway...if I drew those souls to me, my soul would then be borrowed by Rei...who is a protector of souls...and she would then take your souls along with the souls of your strongest ancestors to destroy the evil."
"And you knew this would work because?"
"Well...I didn't. Kikyou, Yukina, and I debated this, but decided that anything in Koenma's library has to be accurate."
"YOU STOLE THAT BOOK FROM KOENMA'S LIBRARY? ARE YOU NUTS?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Well...we thought it would be better than what you guys were planning."
"..."
"You see...Naraku can regenerate at will...and then we realized...that was what made us fail last time. We hit him at different moments...so he could regenerate..."
"I think I know where you're going with this."
"Attack all at once...and Naraku's as good as dead...which he is. The only way we could ensure that we hit him was to put all of our energies into this."
"...I think I'm getting a headache." Yusuke groaned and rubbed his head. Kagome smiled and hugged him, snuggling into him.
"At least your still here to have that headache."
End of Chappie
TYN: Hey...so...that explains it.
Yusuke: Aw...feel better...
TYN: Look...I'm going to try and update tomorrow...but I was half-way through typing this that I lost interest. I found out...that...my best friend's mom died...and I loved her mom to death...
Yusuke: Save those tears for the funeral...
TYN: Yeah...
Yusuke: Read and Review.
