Chapter 4- The First Attack
(Kurama's POV)
"Do you understand it now, Kagome?"
She scratched her head and said, "Uh not really. Actually...I have no clue what you just said."
"Okay, let's try again. X=√x+6. First you've got to square both sides to make it (x)ï=(√x+6)ï. Then subtract x and six from both sides. Use the quadratic formula to solve for x. You should get x=1±√1-(-24) over two. Simplify to get x=1±√25 over two. Simplify again to get x=1±5 over two. You can use this to get your final answer of x=3," I explained. (A/n I copied this right out of my textbook. I have no clue what it means. We're only just now learning it.)
"Umm...yeah. Maybe we should give up. I'm never going to get it."
"I'm not going to give up. How about we continue tomorrow?"
"Okay." Suddenly she stiffened. "A Shikon shard. It's coming pretty fast." As she said it they heard a voice demand they come out. They ran outside to see a snake youkai with a jewel shard glowing brightly in its forehead.
"Give me your fragmentsss of the Ssshikon jewel."
"Heh. Like we'll just hand them over," Kagome said.
"Then prepare to die."
"You won't get the jewel shards." I turned to Kagome and said, "I will protect you Kagome."
With that said, I turned to the snake. "Come and get the jewel if you want it. We will not hand it over."
The youkai rushed at me with his mouth open, exposing his two foot fangs. I easily jumped out of the way, avoiding his attack. But I realized too late that by dodging the attack I left Kagome in the snake's path. I watched, helpless, as the youkai flew at her. Kagome threw up her hands in a feeble attempt to protect herself. Well, at least I thought it was feeble. But she surprised us both then. She purified the snake.
We stood there, staring in shock at the spot where the youkai just stood a moment ago. Finally I snapped out of it and attempted some not-so-funny humor, "Well, I guess I didn't protect you very well, did I?"
She still seemed to be transfixed with what she had done when she said, "I didn't know I could do that. The only other time anything like that happened was when a centipede youkai attacked me when I was fifteen. And I only blew off her arms."
"You're stronger than you look." Noticing her glare I quickly added, "Not that you look weak."
"Maybe the shards are giving me strength. Normally I need my bow to purify something. The last time I didn't need my bow was when I had the jewel in my body. That's what was giving me the power then. So maybe since I have the fragments so close to me all the time, they're giving me the power the jewel did when I had it."
Maybe she's right. It makes sense since the shards are hanging around her neck.
