LAST TIME...
Sango shook her head, "It's no fun without you."
Kagome smiled, "Thank you Sango, for everything."
Sango couldn't help but feel as though she should be thanking Kagome and the others. When her life went down, they where there for her and accepted her even after all she's did for them was cause more problems.
Kagome began walking back towards the hut. Her hand traveled t her forehead as she began feeling faint. 'Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel so dizzy?' Before she knew it she felt herself beginning to collapse to the floor. The last she could hear was her friend's feet running towards her calling her name.
"Kagome!"
THIS TIME...
Sango shook her unconscious friend below her, "Kagome wake up, come on!" She called out continuing to shake her.
"Mommy!" Shippou cried gripping onto Kagome shirt tears pouring down his face.
Sango's head jerked up, "Quick Shippou run back to Keade's hurt and call Miroku and Inuyasha. They can carry her back to the hut and we'll figure out what to do there"
Shippou whipped his eyes nodded, "Y-Yes okay." He said running has fast as his little legs could carry him back to the old miko's hut. Tears continued to flow down his flushed cheeks. He was afraid he would admit that. He hoped his mother was alright but what he didn't know was Kagome was going to become weaker.
Shippou jumped into the hut landing in Inuyasha's lap. Inuyasha glared at the little kitsune hearing him a mile off. "Aren't you supposed to be with the girl?" He asked not realizing Shippou was crying till he looked up at him. Shippou lip quivered as his tried telling Inuyasha about Kagome, "You…you have to go help…trouble and…" Shippou's tears flew down as he thought about the idea of his 'mother' not feeling well.
Inuyasha stood up quickly knocking the young kitsune out of his lap. "Trouble! Where?"
"K-Kagome she's…"
Inuyasha didn't wait for Shippou to finish. He never liked Kagome and trouble in the same sentence. He raced out the door knocking it over again racing to her. He sniffed the air running towards the river. Her smelt Sango by her side and no demons so that eased him a bit. He continued running through the forest at fast pace.
Miroku stood up picking Shippou up cradling him like a baby. "What exactly happened Shippou?"
Shippou sniffed before answering. "We were on our way back when… when she collapsed."
Miroku nodded having an idea of what was going on with Kagome, "Alright, let's go find Keade in the village alright?" He smiled when Shippou nodded curling up in Miroku's chest. Miroku walked out of the now empty hut making his way to the herb garden. 'I wonder, if Kagome is having another vision'
"Kagome wake up!" Sango pleaded continuing to shake her friend. She began getting worried with no word from Miroku Shippou or Inuyasha. That is until he called her name. She looked up seeing a flash of red landing next to Kagome. She stared up at two pairs of golden eyes seeing worry in them. She shook her head getting out of her trance beginning to explain what happened. "I'm not quite sure why but she collapsed."
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome lifting her up on his back. He turned to Sango giving one last glance before running off back to Keade's hut hoping nothing serious was wrong with her. He thought for a moment, not knowing why she was so weak, 'Could it be her transformations? Maybe there too much for her? Damn it can't she stop fainting and getting us worried for no reason!' He shook his head concentrating on his destination as he picked up his speed.
She turned to him and looked at him. He looked into her eye's and saw no love, no compassion no kindness, not his Kagome. All he saw was an angry hanyou"Ka...Kagome" Sesshomaru took this chance to run. Kagome growled (dose bats growl?) as she made her way towards him. "You idiot! Why did you distract me? I could have killed him"
He knew she was still in her demon form because of her voice and how she acted. She was acting like him.
"But that's alright, after I kill you I'll go after him"
He didn't know what to do. He had to get HIS Kagome back but how? She would sit him to get him back but she didn't have a rosary around her neck. He dodged her attack and grabbed her. "Kagome...I know your in there, fight your demon blood"
Kagome's eyes slowly opened her eyes but closed them up again from the light. Slowly opening them again, getting them adjusted to the light. 'Where am I? It looks like Keade's hut. But, wasn't I just at the springs?' She blinked a couple of times, as her eyes began to focus she saw red, guessing it was a certain hanyou. "Inuyasha?" she whispered her voice horse from the lack of liquid. She slowly lifted her head meeting amber eyes.
"Kagome!" He said breathing a sigh of relief. He brought her closer his mouth right by her ear. Kagome shivered at the feeling of him breathing on her neck as he whispered in her ear. "I was so worried." Luckily no one else could hear him without demon ears; that is except Shippou.
"Are ye child alright?"
Inuyasha quickly let Kagome go realizing everyone else was actually in the room. Kagome fell to he ground as Inuyasha let her go. She frowned at him as she sat up nodding, "Yeah, I'm fine."
She looked around seeing the whole gang there staying at her with worried eyes. Shippou jumped into Kagome's lap. She could tell he'd been crying because his tears stained his cheeks. She smiled a bit stroking his head calming the little kitsune down. "What happened mommy?"
She looked at everyone staring at her with concern. She smiled showing she was fine, "Nothing happened, I just had another vision."
Miroku nodded, "I guess ed as much"
Sango stood up hitting him on the head. "Then why didn't you tell us!"
Miroku looked at everyone, "I thought you all figured it out already."
She laughed a bit until Keade asked what she saw. She nodded beginning to explain her vision. She turned to Inuyasha seeing him tensed up. She gave him a puzzling before telling her tale. "… and that's what happened" She turned to everyone as they all recalled the even Kagome just explained to them. "Is that what happened to me?" She asked.
Miroku nodded, "Yes exactly what happened to you."
Sango turned to Miroku, "But that doesn't make sense. Inuyasha's turned full demon before yet he's never had visions on what happened."
Miroku nodded, "Yes but there is something different." Everyone looked at both Inuyasha and Kagome who her crossed legged the exact same with the exact faces on. Shippou pointed at them beginning to laugh, "Nope there the exact same"
Inuyasha stood up knocking Shippou on the head as Shippou stopped laughing and started crying.
Miroku shook his head, "No the fact that Kagome is still a miko is the difference." Everyone gave a big 'OH' as the nodded in agreement.
Kagome thought for a moment, "So your saying because of my miko powers I see these things that actually happened to me?"
Inuyasha snorted turning away from her, "That's exactly what he just said idiot."
"Don't call me an idiot!" She yelled.
"feh"
Kagome was about to yell at him again when Shippou jumped into her arms. Shippou jumped up and down, "Don't yell Kagome, I want you be happy when I give you this!"
Kagome blinked a couple of times confused, "What do you mean?"
"Your birthday present, I forgot to give it to you!"
Kagome laughed a bit, "What do you mean, you gave me the hug"
Shippou shook his head, "But everyone else got you such cool presents so I wanted to give you something special." He dug through his shirt pocket taking out the pin he found in the forest. "Here, happy birthday"
Kagome's eyes widened as the pin sparkled, "Oh wow Shippou, it's beautiful!" She took it out of his small little hands pinning it onto her shirt, "Oh I love it thank you Shippou" She exclaimed giving him a big hug to show how much she liked it.
Shippou grinned from ear to ear seeing Inuyasha jealous. Looking over Kagome's shoulder at Inuyasha he stuck his tongue out, Inuyasha sticking out right back at him. Shippou wrapped his little arms around Kagome, "I'm glad you like it"
Inuyasha turned away from the group thinking to himself. 'Stupid kitsune I wish Kagome would hug me like that every time I made her happy. Like I ever make her happy' His ears dropped in sadness as everyone continued with what they were doing. Sango cleaning her boomerang, Miroku doing some research, Shippou playing with Inu and Kirara. Inuyasha sighed looking at the other hanyou in the room through the corner of his eyes seeing she was deep in thought. He watched as she rose from her spot walking right out of the hut. He turned to his other friends noticing they hadn't even noticed Kagome left. 'Maybe I should follow her.'
'Yes let's go!'
'Alright fine, but one question, wasn't there a demon me as well?'
'I have NOOOOO idea'
'Whatever'
Once Inuyasha finally broke form his thoughts he walked after Kagome. He followed her scent all the way to the God tree.
"Stupid stupid stupid!"
He paused watching her from the bushes when he herd her voice. 'Is she mad? But why, what did I do this time?' He thought for a moment recalling the events that happened in the hut. 'I don't remember doing anything to make her upset.' He watched silently as she jumped up onto a branch of the God Tree. He thought if maybe he should go up there and see what was wrong. Nodding he slowly walked towards the tree. Looking up he noticed she was too wrapped up in her thoughts to notice he was there. "When you get to wrapped up in your thoughts, a demon can easily attack you"
Kagome jumped from the sound on Inuyasha's voice. She looked below her to see him staring up there. "I'm guessing that's why you never think"
He snorted turning to the ground, "I do think, I'm surprised you do" He looked back up seeing her looking away. He sighed, "Need some company?" He asked.
Her eyes snapped open; she didn't expect him to be kind to her. She nodded as he jumped up onto the same branch. He looked at her noticing she was avoiding his eyes.
Kagome turned away from Inuyasha. She couldn't look at him, how could she look at him? 'Her herd me say I hate him, why is he even still around me, acting like it never happened.'
((A/N: In case you don't remember, the whole Kagura Kanna Mirror thing…))
"Kagome is something wrong?" Inuyasha asked not quite sure what was going on with her. He really hoped it wasn't anything he did. He couldn't afford Kagome being angry at him again.
She shook her head still not making eyes contact with him. He shook his head determined to find out why she was acting this way. "Then why have you been avoiding my eye?"
Kagome stayed silent not answering him. She jumped when she felt his hand under her chin. "Look at me" He demanded. He moved her head towards him forcing her to look at him. Kagome stared into his amber orbs tears beginning to form in her eyes. Inuyasha sniffed the air sniffing out Kagome's tears.
The next thing Inuyasha did shocked both of them. He wrapped his arms around her picking her up as he jumped onto a higher branch so that they wouldn't be disturbed. He sat down leaning against the bark of the tree bringing Kagome into a tight embrace. Kagome please don't cry, tell me what's wrong" He whispered in her ear.
Her eyes widened at the way he was acting. He was concerned about her and wanted to know what was wrong. Her head went down asking herself if she should tell him about it or not. 'He never wants to tell everyone else how he feels, or what's wrong with him why should I tell him?' She sighed continuing to ask herself the same question. 'What if he's mad at me? Why's he acting this way in the first place? Should he be angry with me?'
'Oh just tell him what's on your mind'
'Shut up and let me deal with this!' When Kagome herd no response form the other part of her she gave off a low growl.
Inuyasha's jumped not expecting her to growl. 'She growled, why is she growling? Is it towards me or is it something else. Damn it I need to know!'
"Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha jumped slightly snapping him from his thoughts as he answered her, "Yeah?" 'Please don't let it be something I did'
"I-I'm sorry" She whispered rubbing her face in his chest making it so he couldn't see her.
Inuyasha's mouth hung open, he never expected HER to say sorry. But he didn't understand what she was saying sorry for. "Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for… for … for saying I hate you." She gripped his shirt tears beginning to flow down her cheeks. She felt as though he hated her now. That he was hiding his hate for her just to keep her around till the jewel's complete. "I-I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I don't hate you, not at all it just slipped. Not that I actually felt it and didn't mean to tell you it's just I-I was mad at the time and I don't know exactly what happened I just-" She was cut off as Inuyasha gently placed a finger over her lips silencing her. "Shh Kagome, its okay"
"But Inuyasha." Kagome lifted her head up; she stopped crying. 'He's being so understand.'
After a small silence between the two he asked her, "How did you know?" He brought her in closer, forcing her to look sideways. Inuyasha turned his head looking away deep into the forest waiting for her reply.
"S-Sango told me about Kanna's mirror and how you seemed upset." She gripped onto his shirt tighter continuing to look sideways.
"I was at first." Inuyasha began, "Then I realized you weren't the type to not tell anyone how you feel. Usually you tell someone right up front if you like them or not. That and if you really did hate me I guess you would have left by now." He took a breath before continuing, "That and you said something that didn't quite make sense." He turned to her watching her look into the forest. He knew she knew what he was talking about. "What did you mean by that?"
"N-Nothing"
"It doesn't sound like nothing?"
"Inuyasha j-just drop it"
He nodded deciding not to push her. If she wanted to tell him she would. They sat there in silence for a while, looking down to see Kagome's face sleeping peacefully in his arms. He smiled a small smile looking back out up at the moon he frowned. The new moon was coming up soon, and that meant he was going to be a human soon. He looked back down at Kagome, 'I wonder if she has the same human time as me' He closed his eyes keeping his arms wrapped around her tightly as if if he let go she would disappear and never return, "Goodnight…. Kagome"
SMACK
"I told you not to touch me you nasty monk!"
"But Sango how can I resist such a beautiful woman?"
She stared at him, "Beautiful?" She asked with confusion.
Miroku opened his eyes when he felt no pain, "uh…"
Sango smiled hugging Miroku, "That's so nice Miro-ku" She paused feeling a hand on her ass. She let him go staring at him. Lifting her hand up she hit the young monk knocking him out, "Goodnight Miroku"
The shinidamachuu floated up to his young mistress handing her a piece of paper. The young women smirked reading it, 'the plan is going well, everything's in place'
Smirking, the young woman answered, "Perfect, now I just need to wait one night until the full moon rises, that's when she becomes human, when my spell will take effect." She looked up at the shinidamachuu waiting for him to reply. She stared at it some more turning the paper around reading 'yes mistress'. She nodded, "Keep a close eye on them" The shinidamachuu nodded leaving the dark depths of the cave out into the open heading back towards Keade's village.
A/N: In case you're wondering a shinidamachuu is those snake things that Kikyo carries around with her. Guess what… STORIES ALMOST DONE! Sadly… but when this story done I'll be able to post my new one up. Witch is set in the modern day times AND as LOTS AND LOTS of Sesshomaru in it (smiles) RR
