Chapter 8: 63 souls "Where are the other three souls?" Miroku asked.
"They are very faint, but the 2-soul is coming closer at a faster rate each second." With that, she looked at the sky, searching it as though expecting it to be there. Suddenly, Inu slumped over, howling. Everyone rushed over to him.
"Are you okay, Inu?" asked Kagome, cradling his head in her lap.
Kiara mewed, and they all looked over at her. She had something in her mouth, something resembling the.
"The one-soul jewel! There it is! I was wondering why it stopped moving so fast. It hit Inu. Poor Inu"
With that, she combined the powers of all the 62 jewels they had caught so far, and healed Inu's head. Then, she focused that power on finding the last jewel, the one-soul jewel.
They wandered along, watching the sky as they went. They stopped, suddenly. Kagome was watching the sky behind them, watching it as though expecting something. They made camp, expecting that they would be there a while. They were there for just a few minutes, when Kagome told them to be ready to battle, or to run at top speed.
As restless as they were, they wanted to duel. They prepared t do battle, waiting silently fo the next command. Then, a mouse showed up, Kagome yelling for them to kill it. They hesitated, wondering why such a small mammal was such a huge threat. Then, as they attacked the mouse-looking creature, it leapt up really high. It began moving with such speed that no one could really see it.
If it wasn't for Kagome's powers of bringing the jewel to herself, using the powers of the other 62 souls, the others might have died. The mouse, as small as it was, needed only one soul to become that powerful. It equalled the power of the other 62 souls in the hands of a human, in a proportion. But as the mouse felt the jewel pushing it's way out, the mouse wisely threw it up, and ran off as fast as it possibly could.
Now that they had all 63 souls, or at least Kagome did, they knew that something was going to happen very soon. Kagome stood there, looking at the jewels, all 63 souls mixing together, looking like light energy to the human eye. But to Kagome, they were actually souls, golden ghosts moving around between the jewels, mixing and mingling. But hadn't the maiden from the HQ mentioned another?
