"So you're saying I surpassed Kikyo in spirtual power...?"
"Yes, that is what I say. But you still do not know how to use these powers to your advantage Kagome. As much as I can, I will help you to become more powerful."
"Thank you Kaede, but what would I do?"
"Well, Kagome, It's hard training but it's for the better..."
"Feh! Did you do this training?" Inuyasha eyed Kaede.
"Ofcourse but--"
"Then I see no reason for Kag--"
"Inuyasha SIT!"
"Oomph! why....?"
Kagome looked back to Kaede, "I'm willing to do anything you say Kaede."
Kaede nodded, "Your training will start tomorrow. Get a good nights rest Kagome..."
She nodded, "I will."
With that Kaede walked out to go pick some herbs, as Inuyasha's spell wore off.
He sat up and glared at her from the corner of her eye.
"What?"
"YOU KNOW WE ALSO HAVE TO FIND OUT WHY NARAKU WANTED TO KILL YOU RIGHT?!"
She glared at him, "Ofcourse I do, but if we are going to be facing off with him soon, then i'd rather become more powerful, so i'm not just in the way..."
"Since when are you ever in the way?" She gasped and jerked her head in his direction. Tears started to fill her eyes as she smiled.
"What?! Don't cry!"
She giggled and took his hand putting theirs palm to palm.
"I never noticed how small your hand was compared to mine, Kagome..."
"I know, neither did I"
They sat their staring at eachothers hands like that for another minute till Inuyasha let his fall. He looked at the wall. He seemed to be deep in thought to her. She became curious.
"What is it Inuyasha?"
He looked at her then looked away. It seemed that guilt filled his eyes as he glared out the window. She moved to look out it. There they were, the shinidama chuu, flying above the trees of his forest. She gasped and looked to where he sat. He was staring at her with eyes that made no sense to her. They were full of fear, guilt, sadness, and loneliness.
"Inuyasha?"
He pulled her to him. Embraced her once more.
"I'm not going..."
She gasped then pulled away, "Inuyasha, I can't keep you from the one you--"
He put his finger over her mouth and moved her head to look at him.
"Don't finish that sentence Kagome."
She sighed, a bit relieved he didn't believe what she was going to say. She looked out the window once more and saw they were gone. She saw Inuyasha's relieved face when she turned to him. He got up and took her hand, pulling her up with him.
"Where are we going?"
"Goshinboku..."
"But--"
"But what? This is the last day I get to spend with you before your training starts!"
She smiled as he grabbed her hand again and pulled her onto his back. She hung onto him tightly as he sped through the village and the forest. She couldn't see but she knew he was smiling too. He seemed like a new person now, but still had somewhat of the same attitude. She grinned wider. She remembers the first time he was human. He told her that night too that he said not to cry. He said it rudely, but she knew he couldn't help seeing her cry. It pretty much killed him. But the other night. To finally feel and see tears sparkle down his cheeks, it's as if the child withen him, who hadn't cried in so long, came out to cry for her. She smiled and snuggled against his shoulder. 'Had he really done that, for me...?'
---------------------------
"MIROKU..."
He flinched and moved away. She must of had some sixth sense to know that was coming.
He grinned, "Yes my lady?"
"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU HENTAI!"
He flinched and squirmed away from her, next to Kilala. Kilala put up her little nose and walked away from him.
"Oi! Don't be mean! I wasn't going to do that to you!"
Both Kilala and Sango turned to him with shocked faces.
"What?"
-------------------------
Inuyasha flinched at the sound of smacks he heard from afar. He could see Kagome's smile as she laughed.
"Seems Miroku's getting a handful this time..." Inuyasha said wincing to the roar that Kilala let out.
Kagome giggled, "Wonder what he did this time?"
"The usual most likely, stupid lecher..."
Kagome grinned and laughed harder. He watched her laugh. As she grabbed her stomach to get her breathe. As her whole body moved to the quake of her laughter. Her smile shined with the happy tears that rooled down her cheek. He wiped away a tear as she looked at him. He watched her mouth say his name. He became interested with every breathe that came out of her parted lips. He started to move closer to her. She could feel his breathe on her lips now, eminating the warmth of his body. They inched closer, till...
"HELP ME!"
Kagome moved away and looked down at the pleading Miroku. Inuyasha growled in frustration as a vain popped out of his head. He was squeezing his fist so hard that his nails started to dig into his skin. He was about to cut through intill Kagome grabbed the fist. He calmed to her touch and looked up at her. She smiled.
"I think we should help him..."
"Feh! That lecher doesn't deserve our help."
"Well, maybe a friend does..."
He gave in to her pleading eyes, "Feh! Fine! I don't see why you want to help him though!"
She smiled as he jumped from the perch and grabbed Sango's Hirakotsu before it hit Miroku dead on. She tryed to jerk it away, but Inuyasha had a nice grib and pulled it away instead. She glared at him. Telling him to bud out.
"Sorry Sango. You'll have to take this out with Kagome...she was the one who told me to come and stop you. What did he do anyways?"
"Made a sick remark..."
Inuyasha turned to stare at him.
"Long story..." he said with a grin.
Inuyasha moaned, "What ever, just promise me you won't kill the guy...?"
Sango nodded as Inuyasha handed her the weapon again. Miroku's eyes went wide and he ran again as Sango followed after. Kagome gasped.
"Inuyasha!"
He hopped up to where she was, "What? You said it yourself. She loves him. And trust me if she loves him she won't kill him..."
Kagome smiled and stared at him.
"What?"
"Oh, nothing..."
