Ch 4 Newfound Powers
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, just this stupid attempted good for nothing plot that might be sued any day because it sucks so much.
Kvun: Hey all, I'm really sorry I didn't update this story sooner, but a certain friend of mine held me back because she needed a little help. Fortunately, I can multi task… just a little slower. So to Shawntelle, this should be up by Monday just as u asked…
Kagome: Anyways, thanks for Koi King's "donation".
Kvun: Oh really? Another one?
Kagome: Yeah, now our budget extends to about… (Takes out calculator and does many complicated scientific experiments) $5.01
Inuyasha: … … …
Kvun: Oh yeah, and also from Koi King, here's a nice cotton towel for Inuyasha to dry off… I also suggest maybe some deodorant…
Inuyasha: … … … Oh sure… pick on the dog guy who smells…
Kagome: Well it's true, fur doesn't mix with water…
Ishotaru: (Runs towards Kagome to attack)
Kagome: Not this time buddy! Koi King just gave me a nice little leash.
Ishotaru: (Chained to his dog house and can't move)
Inuyasha: Hold on a sec here, look at my script!
Kvun: Yeah, I think I know what's on it seeing as how I wrote it
Inuyasha: But I would never act like that.
Kvun: Ok, so maybe you're slightly OOC
Inuyasha: Slightly? Ahem, have you not read my profile?
Kvun: Don't worry, it's just a story, and people will love it
Inuyasha: Grr…
Kvun: Anyhow, on to the story
Inuyasha starred into the clear starry night by the camp fire while listening to the muffle snores of Miroku (they just had dinner). His heart was still beating ferociously fast from the nightmare he had just had.
Dream scene…
Inuyasha was walking down a pitch black route alone. The only thing that he could see was himself.
"Hey guys, where are you?" he called. His voice echoed to every side contrasting with the absence of a reply. The silence was bone chilling. He felt as if even if he ran around for 1 000 miles, he would encounter no one. Nothing but darkness…
"If this is some screwed up joke from Miroku, I swear, I'm going to kill you."
But deep down, he knew this was no joke. He felt all alone, with no where to go. As if he was trapped in his own hollow mind…
Suddenly he sensed something. He was no longer alone. He looked around in a fighting position… but found nothing.
"Who's there?" he called out. But the echo of his voice told him nothing. His heart thumped faster… where was he?
All of a sudden, he heard an icy voice… as if someone was calling him from the dead.
"Inuyasha…" it muttered faintly. Its voice was so clear yet it seemed so distant.
"Inuyasha…" it repeated. He turned around trying to find the source of the voice.
"Show yourself!" he demanded trying to keep the panic in his voice down. He recognized that voice, yet it seemed so different then he remembered. The voice that he remembered was soft and gentle… comforting and made him feel wanted and useful…
"Inuyasha…" it whispered again
"Kagome! Is that you?" he called. There was a blinding flash of light right in front of him. His arms covered him but through a tiny gap, he saw a body immerge from the light. First he legs with the green uniform skirt she always wore… then her long slim body. She looked exactly the same… just as cheerful… just as confident… just as beautiful…
"Kagome, I'm so glad I found you" he said walking towards her with his arms spread out. But she just smiled saying nothing. Something was not right.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" asked Inuyasha starting to panic again. Still, she said nothing. This was really beginning to become freaky.
"Kagome, answer me!" cried Inuyasha grabbing her shoulders and shaking her rather violently. But he didn't need to shake her at all. The moment his fingers touched her, her eyes seemed to awaken. She suddenly seemed to be aware of her surroundings… She looked around with a look of pure terror on her face.
"Who are you?" she cried starring at Inuyasha as if she had never seen him before.
"Its me! Inuyasha!" he answered rather surprised, "Don't you remember?" he asked softly…
"Inuyasha? Is that really you?" she asked, "You look so… different…"
Inuyasha didn't know what to say. He took her into his arms and embraced her as her face plunged into his chest.
"It's ok Kagome, I'm here now." He said calmly.
"Inuyasha… I missed you…" she said, clearly sobbing in tears.
"It's ok Kagome" he said reassuringly tightening his grip around her.
"Where did you go?" he asked quietly, "We've been looking for you for days"
"Well, the last thing I remember was you holding the jewel…" she paused at that as if afraid to continue. Inuyasha released her lightly and cupped her chin with one hand raising her head so she could see his face.
"Listen, what ever happened, it's going to be ok." He said softly looking into her eyes. They were sparkling with shiny tears as she smiled.
"Well I landed in Sessho –
But she seemed to freeze there. She made a choking sound as if something invisible was grabbing tightly on her neck. She looked down at herself and screamed. Inuyasha looked down and saw that her legs were disappearing. Long invisible ropes seem to be coming from all directions wrapping themselves around her wrists and ankles. Without any warning she was sent flying back right out of Inuyasha's grasp with a faint swish.
"INUYASHA! HELP!" she cried as she flew further and further away.
Inuyasha darted towards her and leaped high in the air reaching for her slowly disappearing body. He grabbed on to her hand and tugged.
"I'm not gonna loose you again!" he shouted pulling her with all his might. But slowly, her hand was disappearing too and suddenly, her hand was gone. The last thing he saw before plummeting down a pit of darkness was her face, no longer filled with glittery tears but with a look of fear begging for help.
"KAGOME!!"
It took an eternity for Inuyasha to fall as the pitch blackness swallowed him. His last cries of Kagome echoed through every direction but he knew it was pointless. He had lost Kagome again.
End Dream…
Inuyasha sat up by the dying fire still thinking about his dream. Was that a real dream? What had happened? This was torturing him… he didn't know what to do… The grabbed his hair and wrenched it out of frustration and let out a low growl.
"Good evening master Inuyasha" said a low humble voice from bellow him. Inuyasha looked down and saw Myouga looking up at him.
"Oh, it's you" he said loftily.
"What? Not even a good morning hug?" he said sarcastically.
"Cut the drama flea, I'm not really in the mood" replied Inuyasha.
"You seemed to be troubled" he spoke cautiously breaking the long silence.
"Yeah so?" he snapped.
"Hey I was just trying to help, no need to bite my head off" he replied getting angry.
"Hey I was just trying to help" Inuyasha repeated in a mocking voice, "Why don't you put it on a flashy poster"
"I don't know why I ever bother trying to help; it's just not appreciated anymore" he grumbled returning to a tent.
"I had a dream" said Inuyasha suddenly.
"Very good, we'll give you your Nobel prize in the morning" he snickered, "See? I can be snappy too." But Inuyasha ignored him.
"It wasn't an ordinary dream though" he said.
"Oh really?" replied the flea, "tell me about it". So Inuyasha retold the dream to Myouga. It seemed to make him feel much better then ripping his hair off.
"And then I woke up" he finished.
"I see…" said Myouga turning away.
"Well?" asked Inuyasha impatiently.
"Well what?" asked the flea cockily.
"Well was it real?" demanded Inuyasha resuming to his grouchy stage.
"Maybe…" replied Myouga silkily. Inuyasha had had enough.
"Listen flea," grabbing the flea by it's leg, "I know you know something about this so tell unless you want to spend a long time unable to fly"
"Well, it's no big secret, you were able to communicate with Kagome in your dream" said the flea struggling with Inuyasha's grip.
"What does that mean?" asked Inuyasha.
"It means what it sounds like. In your dream, you were thinking about Kagome and she appeared to you and you spoke to her"
"So that was the real her?"
"Yes, she was also sleeping and she was brought to your dream"
"And how did she get to my dream?"
"You did genius!"
"Me? I can do that?"
"I don't know why you're so surprised"
Inuyasha released his grip letting Myouga fly around.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, now that you're a pure demon, you're bound to get new powers; this is just one of them"
There was a long pause as Myouga hovered around Inuyasha who was deep in thought still thinking about the dream.
"I just realized something" gasped Inuyasha jumping up without warning knocking narrowly missing Myouga who flew out of the way just in time.
"What is it?" asked Myouga
"She said something about Sessho but I didn't realize what it meant until now," he said, "Kagome's with Sesshomaru!"
"No shit Sherlock" muttered Myouga.
"What? You knew?!" demanded Inuyasha
"Well duh" he said
"What didn't you tell me?" asked Inuyasha practically yelling.
"Well, I thought you knew" said Myouga backing away slightly.
"What's all the racket?" as Sango and Miroku climbed out of their tent. Shippo chirped from bellow letting out a long yawn.
Inuyasha sighed sitting down on a log retelling his dream and everything that Myouga had told him and what he had realized from it. By the time he was finally finished, the sun had already risen as the fire had vanished.
"Alright then, we're off" said Inuyasha.
"But how do we know where Sesshomaru's hiding?" asked Sango
"If there's one thing that I know about my older brother is that he isn't going to keep Kagome just for the sake of it. Trust me, we'll find out soon enough.
