Keeper Of My Soul
Chapter 1 Battle of WillsKagome's eyes wandered the open field, she could feel the shards but something was clouding her mind, making her unsure of where they were.
"Inuyasha, I know they're around here but I'm not sure where!" Kagome whispered harshly.
"Stupid girl, what use are you anyway?" Inuyasha sniped.
"Excuse me? If you're so good how come you can't sense the demon holding them?" Kagome demanded, no longer in the whispering mood.
"Kagome perhaps taking out your fury on him now would be a bad idea?" Miroku whispered trying to shut her up. The entire field was blanketed in a thick white fog and they could see nothing.
Kagome opened her mouth to continue yelling at him but then took Miroku's hint and shut up. Kagome bit her lip and fought the urge to yell a few well timed 'sits' as she watched the hanyou in front of her try and catch a whiff of the demon lurking in the fog.
Suddenly there were loud shrill shrieks coming at them from all sides. They fell to their knees screaming and covering their ears.
After a few moments Kagome lost consciousness and collapsed, a few minute's later a white light exploded from her body and the shrieks stopped and the mist faded away.
Inuyasha moved his hands away from his ears slowly as thought unsure if it was safe yet or not. Although if he didn't wake up Kagome and she had another power wave he might not be safe either.
He walked over to her and knelt beside her, "Hey stupid girl! Wake up! We have to get going and the demons are gone!" he yelled practically in her ear.
Kagome screamed and sat bolt upright, Inuyasha fell over backwards from the pure pain of her scream on his ears.
"Inuyasha you jerk!" Kagome said rubbing her ear in pain.
"Like you have room to talk! The next time you want to scream like that give a guy some kind of warning!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Sure I'll give Miroku and Shippou warning but how will that help you?" Kagome said harshly turning away.
Inuyasha's jaw dropped, "What's that supposed to mean!" he demanded.
"Figure it out yourself!" Kagome said refusing to look at him. Miroku, Shippou, Sango and Kirara mean while were just watching them argue back and forth in astonishment.
"So you think they'll ever stop?" Shippou asked grimacing at the insult that had just flown out of Kagome's mouth.
"Probably not." Miroku whispered flinching when Inuyasha began cursing.
"I didn't know there were that many words in the hanyou's dictionary." Sango said in surprise.
"Me either." Miroku replied watching Inuyasha climb out of a ten-foot hole that he had just created with his body when suddenly he was planted face first in it again.
"I wonder if he's ever broken anything during one of those." Shippou whispered, watching the fight like he would a movie, his eyes bouncing from Kagome to Inuyasha and back to Kagome.
"Was that even a word?" Sango asked.
"I think she's too angry to think of real words at the moment." Miroku answered.
"Oh." Sango said as she watched the fight continue.
Suddenly after a particularly long string of 'sits' Kagome stalked off leaving Inuyasha in his own personal crater.
Miroku couldn't resist he ran out to the middle of the field waving white flags, "One point Kagome, zero Inuyasha!"
Sango and Shippou were cracking up on the sidelines when Inuyasha clambered out of the hole and chasing after a yelling Miroku still waving his white flags, "Truce, truce!"
"I'll give you a truce you fucking monk!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Hey! Cursing in front of a holy man is just wrong." Miroku said indignantly. He had stopped to inform Inuyasha of this and because of it was tackled to the ground.
Inuyasha proceeded to try and strangle the cursing monk, but jumped up when he felt the presence of another demon.
"Where's Kagome?" He asked looking around.
"She took off in that direction." Sango said as she helped Miroku to his feet. Inuyasha took off in the direction of the Bone Eater's Well and the rest of the group ran to catch up with him.
Kagome sat with her legs dangling into the well still contemplating jumping in or going back to her friends and that damned hanyou. Suddenly she felt something hit her back and she fell into the well.
She stood up and dusted herself off. She had half a mind to go back and tell whoever had bumped her off, but she decided since she was already there that she'd stay home for a day or two.
She climbed out of the well and entered her home, "Mom! I'm home."
Her little brother Souta came running around the corner and slid to a stop in front of her, "Hey what happened to you?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Kagome said rolling her eyes.
"You have a gash on your forehead dummy." Souta said arrogantly before running away.
Kagome touched her forehead and winced. He was right but he was still a pain.
She walked up the stairs to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, her face was smudged with dirt and her face was streaked with blood from the small gash on her forehead.
She washed her face and gingerly cleaned her forehead before wrapping it and heading back downstairs.
"Kagome your home, wonderful!" Yoko said without glancing up.
"Mom do we have any ice packs?" Kagome asked moving towards the freezer.
"Why dear?" Yoko asked finally looking up. "Kagome what happened to your forehead?" Yoko demanded.
"I hit it jumping into the well is all." Kagome answered; at least that's what she thought it was from.
"Well here let's get some ice on it so it won't swell." She stood up an strode to the freezer where she grabbed an ice pack, wrapped it in a towel and placed in her daughter's hand, "Now go and lay down. Do you need some medicine?" she asked searching through the kitchen drawers.
"No mom, I'll be fine with this thanks." Kagome answered with a smile.
Yoko nodded and followed her daughter into the living room where she laid down on the couch.
"How long will you be home this time?" she asked watching her daughter in despair, knowing the answer and knowing there was nothing she could do to change it.
"Tomorrow or maybe the next day." Kagome answered groggily.
Yoko sighed and watched as her daughter slipped into a healing sleep. Then she went into the kitchen and began making dinner for her daughter's return.
