All of you TN. and GA peoples better watch out, cuz i'm now on the roads! Beware the little blue car! (Actuallly it's a big honkin' blue-ish gray Buic.)
Anyways, enough of me...Here's your chapter!
Jaken yelped and rubbed the knot on his head, grumbling something about stupid demons.
Laughing, Hiroshi stood and paced back toward the middle of the encampment, toward the sleeping couple. He placed a palm on the miko's forehead, smiling when he felt only slight warmth. He parted the shades and entered her mind.
Sango and Miroku stared for a few moments at the eternal demon. Then, just as simply, turned back to building the fire for lunch.
He walked through the mist, keeping steady with the rhythm of her scattered thoughts until he reached her epicenter. The bright light that stood apart from the darkness. He stared up at the floating figure.
She was in starched white. Her hair was the deepest black, and it flowed about her like water. She was all but naked, but for a thin wraparound body covering. He caught the glint of the jewel in her hair. But that was nothing. The bright red crescent on her forehead told of her true past. Of her soul's past.
She was Kagome. And Kikyou. But she was also many others. Nameless characters and faces. But she was Kagome.
When he descended from the light, he found her consious form curled into a tight ball. He touched her arm and she moved. "Come on, Kagome. You are safe with him. He promised you he wouldn't abandon you. That he would always protect you. Belive in that and nothing else will matter." He told her as she looked up at him with eternal black eyes.
She nodded, slowly. And he was thrust into his own body, the force knocking him backward into a tree.
Shaking his head to clear his vision, he stood and walked slowly back to where the Hanyou and Miko lay together.
"She's powerful." Sesshomaru said, looking at Hiroshi.
"Aye. That she is." Hiroshi agreed and kneeled again over Kagome. The flawless face was marked now by a red crescent moon. He concealed it with his own power, masking her true identity from even her. She was in truth the chosen one.
"So, Is it her?" Miroku asked, standing over them.
"Aye." Hiroshi said, his voice taking on the serious tone he rarely used. "And it will be hard on them both." He sighed.
He turned to the Hanyou, feeling of his forehead. Nothing. No heat above normal.
"Fluffy, i would suggest you leave. It appears your brother does not like you as well as you do him." Hiroshi said, startling everyone in camp.
"Sesshomaru likes Inuyasha?" Sango wispered to Miroku.
"I don't know? I guess he does." Was Miroku's whispered reply.
"No. I belive i will stay here. We will have to work together soon as it is." Sesshoamru said, settling in the nearest tree.
"Can rin-chan stay with Hiroshi-sama?" Rin asked him from the ground.
"As you wish." Sesshomaru's reply came through the trees.
Rin jumped up and blew him a kiss, then hopped over to the eternal clansman.
"Jaken, come." Sesshomaru commanded the toad from in the tree.
"Yes, M'lord!" Jaken squaked and scrambled up the tree only to fall. He tried again and fell. Then he finally succeeded.
Kagome opened her eyes first, they weren't brown any more, though. They were completely black. Then she blinked and they returned to thier normal chocolate brown.
When she stirred, Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her more tightly before opening his golden eyes to stare at her open ones.
He scrambled away, startled. His face turning three shades of red until his kback hit a tree and he stared at her from across the clearing.
"Inuyasha?" She asked, her voice small. Delicate.
He immediately regretted his actions and went back over to her. They ignored the inu-gumi as they stared in touched amusement.
"You're alright." He said, touching her cheek with a clawed thumb. "Your fever's gone. Do you feel alright?" His voice was tender, warm with caring.
"Yeah. Thanks for saving me." She said, staring into his eyes. Then she noticed something behind him and her eyes widened in fear.
Inuyasha turned, growling as Sesshomaru's scent washed over the clearing.
"Hello, brother. You look happy." Sesshomaru's cold voice cut through Kagome like a knife.
"Sesshomaru." Inuyasha growled.
"I am not here to fight you, brother. I have only come because Rin wished to see your miko." Sesshomaru said, leaning against the nearest tree.
"So, Sesshomaru, how was the journey?" an unfamiliar voice asked him from behind Inuyasha.
Inuyasha turned and snarled. Then he stopped. "He's got a lot of jewel shards." Kagome's hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked, stepping between Inuyasha and the unfamiliar demon.
"Only to give you what is yours, Lady Kagome." The man bowed low. "My name is Hiroshi, i am the last of my clan. I am the sworn protector of the guardian of the Shikon Jewel. I have brought a few shards with me, if you wish to have them, you only have to ask." He said, straitening.
"Umm. I guess." She said, unsure. "May i please have the shards so that i can purify them, Hiroshi-sama?" She asked, bowing.
"Lady, Do not bow to me. You are above that. But, yes. You may have them." He handed her the shards. A thick handful of them.
She closed her eyes and purified the jewels, the light glowed around her like the sun as the jewel shards came together to form a large portion of the jewel.
Inuyasha stared at her in confusion. "You've never done that before." He said, staring down at the little pink cracked stone in her hand.
"I don't know. What did i do?" She asked, confused. The inu-gumi facefaulted.

That last scene reminds me of the "Oops" scene from inuyasha, the one where she ACCIDENTALLY pulls Tetsuaiga out and everyone freaks. That was great!
