AN: Heres a new chappie!!!!!!!!!!1
Kagome was sitting in one of Lady Suki's gardens meditating. When she awoke that morning, Misawn had already gone to help his father patrol the lands. She had had a strange dream the night before, although it hadn't frightened her it did leave her slightly unsettled. She thought that a little meditation would help to calm her nerves. As she felt her body begin to calm, her senses picked up a youkai nearby.
'Misawn' She smiled when she realized that he was trying to sneak up on her.
Misawn hated leaving Kagome behind that morning, so when he had returned he rushed away looking for her, much to his father's amusement. Upon seeing her meditating in the gardens, he decided to test her skills. Before he could even begin his stealth mode however, she caught him.
"I missed you this morning, Misawn. You left without saying goodbye."
"As astonished as I am that you caught me, I'll answer your question. But first I need something from you."
Kagome turned when he approached. His mouth came crashing down on hers hungrily. At first she was surprised but then she leaned into the kiss. The moment was beginning to get a little heated when she abruptly pulled away.
"What is it?" He noticed the hardened look on her face.
"Something is coming, something powerful."
Misawn was about to respond when suddenly he felt a powerful aura headed right for them. Instinctively he tried to jump in front of Kagome to protect her, but she pushed him back and erected a barrier around him.
"No, Kagome!!"
"Just stay back, that aura is full of purification powers!"
'I hope you know what you're doing my dove.' He thought worriedly.
Kagome began to focus on her miko energy, she felt the familiar tingle as it rushed throughout her body. As she channeled her energy, she noticed that the power was coming faster by the second. In fact, if she didn't hurry, it would hit her with enough force to knock her right out of her shoes.
She pushed the rising panic down.
'I must remain focused!'
Misawn watched in awe as Kagome's aura made her entire body glow with the force of it's power. Even her eyes would flash an unusual pinkish color. In the distance he caught sight of a round sphere headed right for her at an alarming speed.
'A soul?'
Kagome focus wavered as her senses told her what was headed towards her. But that didn't make any sense. A soul headed right for her?
'Unless…' Realization came like light at the end of a tunnel.
The soul immediately made contact with her body lifting her from the ground. Misawn screamed her name and beat against the barrier but to no avail. Kagome became engulfed in a white light and waves of purification energy lashed at her like whips.
The feeling was indescribable. Such peace and comfort, the most that she had ever felt in her life. She smiled as feeling of happiness came over her for no reason at all. Nothing else mattered at that moment, she was as light as a feather. The waves of energy seemed to repair the torn edges of her battered heart and soul, leaving her feeling as though she had just been born. Finally the light faded and she was placed gently into Misawn's waiting arms.
Misawn had watched the entire show with fear and awe at the sight. At first he thought to risk being purified in order to save Kagome, but then he saw her smile in happiness. What that smile was for he did not know, but he would ask her later. Right now it appeared as though her body was drained, and from the sounds of her breathing she was asleep. Shrugging he slowly carried her back to the castle.
"Are you gonna go yet?"
"No."
"But why? Kagome could lying somewhere bleeding to death and you're just sitting up there!"
"Grrrr! Beat it, ya whining little brat! I'll go find Kagome when I'm good and ready alright!"
Shippou looked up at the hanyou, who was in his favorite spot in the god tree, and stuck out his lip. Inuyasha had returned a few days ago empty handed. He seemed to walk in a daze for awhile until Shippou asked him if he'd gone to see Kikyo. The answer he gave had shocked everyone.
* Flashback*
Inuyasha walked slowly into the clearing that led to the villiage. As he neared the hut a young kitsune came bounding out to meet him.
"Where's Kagome? I thought you were going to look for her?"
Three other figures emerged from the hut. One a monk who stopped directly in front of him, the other a taijia, and last a old woman.
"Inuyasha what's wrong, has something happened to Kagome?" Songo asked with concern written on her face.
"I don't think this has to do with Kagome."
"Hai. I agree with ye Miroku. Though I shan't voice what I think has caused such a look on Inuyasha's face."
The all seemed to silently agree. Inuyasha just kept his fixed on the ground as though he hadn't heard them. Shippou, however, would not be silenced.
"You went to see Kikyo didn't you?! Even when Kagome's life is danger you still run back to-to-to that!" In his anger he jumped on Inuyasha and began to assult him, but Inuyasha caught him by the tail and held him in mid air.
"How could you!" Tears began to stream down the kit's face. "After all she's done for you, for all of us you still treat as though she were nothing and run to Kikyo!"
"Kikyo's gone."
He said it so calmly that everyone gasped. Shippou stopped squirming to look at him. Inuyasha dropped him to the ground and walked calmly to his tree. They all watched him go with shocked filled eyes.
"Today, the pup has become a dog."
*End of Flashback*
They all though it best to leave him be for awhile. He seemed to be taking it rather well. He showed up for his meals on time. At first he was real quiet and passive, but as the days wore on he ventured back to his old self.
Shippou used this to his advantage and took to following him around and begging him to go look for Kagome. The begging turned into whinning until finally Inuyasha resolved to chase Shippou away, but he always came back.
"Come on Inuyasha, pleeeeeeeeeeeeese!"
"I said NO ya runt now get lost!"
'I'll go look for when I'm good and ready. When I know she won't hate me.'
Inuyasha knew that Kagome still thought that he had betrayed her after admitting his feelings to her. He was too afraid of rejection.
'Oh Kagome, if only there was some way that I could tell you that we were deceived. The last thing I need is another repeat of me and Kikyo.'
"Inuyasha!" Miroku called breaking into the hanyou's thoughts. "We've just received word that a the heir to the Northern Lands is taking a mate."
"So! Whats so important about some young bastard's new mate!"
"She is a miko."
"WHAT!" He jumped from the tree and landed directly in front him theirs noses almost touching. "Do think its Kagome?!"
"Please, Inuyasha, I know that you care for me and all but I'm afraid my only interest is women."
Inuyasha bopped him on the head. "Spare me the wise cracks and answer my question."
"Keade believes that theres a chance that it could be her. In any case she advises us to check it out."
"Well?" Shippou made his presence known.
"What?"
"Grrrr. Are you gonna go look for Kagome or not?!"
Inuyasha snatched him up by his tail, then turned to Miroku.
"Tell Songo to get some supplies ready, we leave at dawn."
"Yeaaaaaaaaaa! Kagome here we come!"
