Chapter seven Kagome's Chance, and Inuyasha's new friends.
"Your going where!?" Inuyasha yelled as Mia packed her bags. Mia pulled on the straps of her bag and closed it up.
"I'm not the only one...your going too...I told you that a million times. Me, you, Yagami, and Seira are going to Kyoto...Yagamis paying!" Inuyasha looked over at the bag that Mia had packed for him. "Yagami was also thinking about inviting that other girl...Kagome." Inuyasha jolted, something inside him was burning at that name.
"I don't think I like her..." Inuyasha leaned on the wall with a glare in his eye. Mia looked over at him.
"What? why is that Inuyasha...? You don't even know her do you?" Mia put her bag on the floor and zipped up her coat.
"No I don't...anyway, how long are we going to stay?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well not to long, Seira and I have work...but about 3 days. I'm so excited! Three days at a hot springs resort in Kyoto! Hey...are you ever gonna take that thing off?" Mia pointed at Inuyasha's necklace. Inuyasha looked down at it in surprise.
"....I don't know...I never thought about it." Inuyasha pulled on the necklace and tried to lift it over his head, the necklace began to glow and become very heavy. "What!? I-it wont come off!" Inuyasha kept pulling. Mia walked up to him and tapped the necklace.
"What do you mean...?" Mia tried lifting the necklace off his head. Nothing.
"Why-wont-this-stupid-thing-come-oooofff!!" Mia was pulling as hard as she could but it didn't work. "Fine! I'll be right back..." Mia walked out of the room, only to return with some siccors. "Now...hold still." Mia began cutting the necklace, but it glew bright and did not budge. Mia let out an angry growl and stomped out of the room, coming back this time with hedge clippers. "Stupid necklace..." Mia snapped the hedge clippers down but nothing happened to the necklace. Mia said nothing as she walked out of the room this time. A few minutes later walked back in with a chainsaw.
"What the hell!?" Inuyasha backed up. "Your nuts Mia!!!"
"Hold still Inuyasha!" Mia pulled the string of the machine. Ding dong Mia and Inuyasha looked over at the door, it had already been opened and Yagami was standing in front of them.
"Having a lovers quarrel are we? Mia there are better ways to solve these things..." Yagami said sarcastically. Seira shot up behind him.
"What!? Hey Mia if your done with him can I have him! Please!!" said Seira.
"Hi guys! Ready to go?" Mia said as she put the chainsaw down. "I can't wait to go!" Mia grabbed a hat off the coat rack and handed it to Inuyasha. He put on the hat and looked over at Yagami. Yagami looked back at him with a sneer.
"Hi Inuyasha...how's it going?" said Yagami with the sneer still fresh on his face. Inuyasha glared back. Mia walked up beside him with the bags.
"Are we all set everyone?" Mia said, looking back and forth from Yagami to Inuyasha. They broke the eye contact with eachother and looked over at Mia with a smile.
"Yes!" Inuyasha and Yagami said together.
"Well then lets get going!" Mia, Inuyasha, Seira, and Yagami all headed outside to the car.
Meanwhile
Kagome and the others were headed back to Keades village, riding on Kirra. As they were landing Kagome shifted through her pocket and pulled out a letter.
Dear Kagome,
How's your summer going? My friends and I are headed to Kyoto for a week. Mia is bringing a new friend. We were wondering if you wanted to go...well anyway if you decide to go here's where we'll be...
Kyoto hot springs 9.13 street.
See you there. Yagami
Kagome put the letter back in her pocket and slid off of Kirra.
"Kagome...?" Sango looked down at her form Kirra, and then slid off. Kagome sighed and answered back. "What is it Sango?" She asked as she watch Sango take her things off of Kirra's back.
"Don't you think it's odd...that we haven't seen even a speck of Naraku or his flunkies since Inuyasha disappeared a few months ago...?" asked Sango.
Kagome was beginning to connect the pieces. Sango was right...but why would that be...does that mean Inuyasha was kidnapped by Naraku...? Wait! Or what if Naraku hadn't wanted Inuyasha there all together. Kagome gasped and ran off towards the well.
"Kagome!!" Sango yelled after her.
Kagome had felt the tetsigua pulse as it was strapped to her back. She pulled it off and pointed it in front of her, the pulsation's got stronger and stronger, and before she knew it she was at the well. The sword was shaking and like never before. Kagome looked down the well. Could this mean...? Kagome thought as she jumped down the well. When she got to the other side she strung the sword to her back again as she climbed frantically up the walls of the well. Kagome reached the top and ran to where ever the pulse's were taking her, she ended up in the middle of the street. Before she relized where she was, she was blind sighted by head lights of a Taxi.
"Ahhhhhh!" Kagome screamed as the car screeched to a quick stop. She caught her breath as the driver stepped out of the car.
"Hey are you all right!?" Kagome looked at him and when she relized what had happened she bowed and stepped off the road.
"I'm...sorry sir, but I'm all right..." Kagome mumbled. The driver looked her over and then let out an aggravated sigh.
"Well, be careful and just watch where you're going." The driver said as he walked back to the car. Kagome watched from the sidewalk as the taxi drove away. She looked down at the tetsugai, but nothing was happening anymore. Kagome looked back to her familys shrine, and then up at the sky.
On the way to Kyoto...
Mia, Inuyasha and the others were in the cab on the way to Kyoto. Yagami leaned forward to speak to the driver.
"Hey! What happened back there? Was it a cat or something?" Yagami asked. The driver leaned his head back to reply. "Nah, just some kid who didn't see the lights change or something. No worrys though..." Yagami shut the connecting window between the driver and them. and looked over at mia and seira who sleeping on the right side of the car. Yagami was seated on the left far side with Inuyasha next to him. Mia was next Inuyasha with Seira on the far right side.
"I can't believe those two slept through that..." Yagami heard Inuyasha say.
Inuyasha was trying to pull his arm out from mia's grasp. Yagami leaned over and gently removed mia's arms from Inuyasha's. Yagami looked out the window, the sky was pitch black and the star's were very bright, considering it was midnight. "You know Inuyasha..." Yagami began. Inuyasha looked over at him. "You and Mia have gotten really close already right?" Inuyasha nodded and Yagami continued. "Well...what will you do when you get your memory's back...? I mean what if you discover that you already have a girlfriend, or maybe something else, what will you do then? Will you leave Mia? Can you still be with Mia if that happens? Will you?" Yagami was still not looking at Inuyasha. Inuyasha had thought about this already, but he never considered another girl. As soon as Inuyasha thought about haveing another girl friend besides Mia, Images of Kikyou, Kagome, and Mitsume flashed through his head quickly. The burning feeling was back, but by now Inuyasha was used to just let it go by and tottaly dissmiss it.
There was nothing he could say because he really didn't know the answer. He looked over at Mia and then back at yagami. "I don't know what is going to happen...when and if I get my memorys back but...I won't...let mia be alone, I'll keep my promise." Inuyasha had a serious look in his eye's as he stared at Yagami. He looked at Inuyasha and smiled. "For your sake, you better hope you do." Yagami rested his head on the window. "Now get some sleep, we should be there in the morning." Inuyasha rested his head backwards and fell asleep. Mia lifted her head up slightley and looked at Inuyasha. She had heard the whole conversation, She leaned her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes. Thank you...Inuyasha...
At Kyoto the next day.
"Wow! Kyoto is so pretty! Oh! Yagami lets go to one of those hotels where they have geisha's! They are so pretty...maybe I should try and be a geisha." Mia rambled on as they entered their hotel rooms. Yagami stoped at the front of two bedrooms doors. "Alright, Inuyasha and me are staying in this room, and Mia, you and seira are staying in that room." Yagami gave them the key to their room and opened his.
"Inuyasha! Seira and I are going down to the the hot springs first...we'll see you there." said Mia. She opened her door and entered. Inuyasha smiled and went inside his room. Yagami was putting his thing away. The room was a pale tan, kinda off white color. There was a tv and another room that led to the bathroom, along with two king sized beds. Inuyasha took off his hat and sat on the bed. He was still thinking about what they had talked about inside the cab. He really had no idea how getting his memory back would change him. Inuyasha was brought back to reality when they heard a knock on the door. Yagami went and opened the door. Mia and Seira were standing in the hallway with towels. Mia looked at Inuyasha and became upset. "Inuyasha! You aren't even almost ready! Come on....HOT springs!" Mia sighed. "Man...I thought we could just go..."
"Why don't you guys go ahead, we'll catch up." said Yagami. Mia thought about for awhile. "Alright, we'll see you guys there!" Mia and Seira were laughing and talking all the way down the hallway. Yagami looked at Inuyasha. "Well lets get ready to go." Inuyasha nodded.
Meanwhile
Kagome was sitting in her room holding the sword that Inuyasha had left behind. She couldn't understand why the tetsigua went off like that here. She pulled the invataion out of her pocket. "I can't go the fuedel era right now...I just can't face it..." Kagome whispered as she stared at the letter. "Fine..." Kagome pulled out her bag and repacked some other things. "No...what am I thinking...I have to go and find Inuyasha..." Kagome straped the sword to her back, grabbed her bag and headed to the well. Sango and the others were waiting by the well on the other side. Kagome made it through and pulled herself up out of the well.
As soon as she put her bag on the floor she spoke up. "All right! Where should we look today?" Kagome asked. Miroku pointed east. "Some villagers in the east village said they had seen a demon with silver hair, and that he looked almost human...of course, we are taking the chance that it could be seshomaru..." Kagome picked her bag back up. "Well we'll just have to take that chance!" said kagome. Sango nodded and called Kirra over and in a burst of flames the demon changed. Kagome grabbed shippou and sat on Kirra. Sango motoined Kirra, and they were off. They had traveled for some time now. Kagome was looking down at the forest as they past. She saw a clearing in the woods and saw a young woman there. Kagome gasped. "Stop! STOP!" Kagome yelled. Sango looked back. "What!?" asked Sango in surprise. "STOP SANGO Right over there LAND THERE!" Sango said nothing but complied. Kirra flew into the clearing. Kagome got off qiuckly and began running. "Kagome!?" Sango yelled as she watched her run off.
Kagome ran as fast as she could. While she was running she was readying her bow. Kagome saw the girl in the clearing now, it was the same girl she saw with Inuyasha as he dissapeared. "Hold it!!" Kagome yelled almost out of breath, her bow was ready and aimed at the young lady. The girl looked at Kagome with her cold eye's. "Why are you here?" said the girl in a cold tone. "Who are you!? Why did you attack Inuyasha!!?" Kagome screamed. "Answer me!!" She walked closer, never droping the bow. The girl stepped back. "My name Ikira...what bussiness do you have with me?" asked Ikira.
"Where did you send Inuyasha!!?" Kagome asked. Ikira looked at her. "I'm not sure..." Kagome stared at her. "Then at least tell me what happened! Are you with naraku!? Why Inuyasha!!? What happened to him!!??" yelled Kagome. Ikira didn't move. "You should give up...on your friend..." Kagome flinched. "What!?"
"Naraku...ordered me to get rid of him...to make sure that he does not interfere with him anymore..." said Ikira softly. Kagome looked at the girl closely and for the first time she noticed the shikon jewel shards inside her. There was one in her head, and another in her chest where her heart is.
"But...you look like a human..." sad Kagome. Ikira's expression did not change. "I am no longer human...I am kept alive only because of these shards that naraku has given me. You see...when I was alive and well, I traveled this land helping people. I had a speacil gift, I could hypnotize people, and so well that I could even give them a whole new Identity. I would help the people by curing their fears or helping them to forget a painful memory, but my heart soon became weak and I could no longer go on...that's when I met naraku. He said that he would give me jewel shard in order to preserve my life. I wasn't thinking, at the time all I could think about was my will to survive...I didn't want to die. Although...before he gave it to me he said he needed something in return, he wanted me to help him with something..."
Kagome was begining to cry out of anger and fustration.
"So you agreed to get rid of Inuyasha!!?" Ikira nodded. "So he also put a shard in my forhead, he said I needed more power...with the shard inside of me I could easily use teleconisice...that's how I was able to teleport us to another area when you woke...but all I was suposed to do was erase him, I was just going to make him an empty vessel...I didn't meant to..." Ikira looked down. Kagome gasped. "What happened!? What happened to Inuyasha!?"
"Once we made it to the new location...he fall down a well and was not seen inside of it..." Ikira's expression was unflinched. "With this shard inside of my heart...I feel nothing...no pain or happiness, but what I am able to feel is guilt...over what I have done..." Kagome looked at Ikira, her face was still emotionless but tears came from her eyes. "I'm sorry for your loss...and I feel awful over having killed anyone, even if he was a demon..." Kagome thought about it for a moment. Inuyasha fell down a well...and was not found afterwards...that must mean. Kagome smiled and looked over at Ikira. Ikira's tears were still streaming down her face. "I can't stand this...living like this...is...is unbearable..." Before kagome could tell her that Inuyasha was still alive, she saw Ikira use her powers to force the shikon shard out of her chest. Kagome saw the shard shine brightley in the midst of all the blood. Kagomew ran to Ikira's side. The emotions were now visible on her face again. She was happy.
"Could you...please...take the shard from my froehead...? I...want to at least die...as a human...as I used to be..." said Ikira softly, she could hardly breath now. Kagome's tears were now for Ikira. "You didn't kill him, I know what happened to him, he was just forced into another time...you are not a killer." Ikira smiled. "Thank you...now I can go peacefully, I am now truly human again...please...the shard..." Kagome nodded and removed the shard from her. Ikira closed her eyes. She died with a smile on her face, she could rest in peace now. When sango and the other's finnally found Kagome, she had already buried the body and marked her grave. They stared at her in awe, wondering what had happened. Kagome turned to looked at them with a tearful smile. "I know where Inuyasha is...thanks to her..." They all looked at the grave, and saw a carving in the tree she was buried under, It read.
Ikira.
A human whose purity shines
brighter then the
shikon jewel.
R.I.P
Next Chapter- He love's me. He love's me not.
A/N: Hello! Sorry it took me so long to write this chapter, but it's summer you know! Anyway what did you think of this chapter? Kagome had to figure it out sooner or later. And for you kouga fans...don't worry. He will show up soon, as well as sesshomaru! Just for this...I'll write a little preview of what the next chapter is going to be like! Please tell me what you think about this chapter and the preview! Thanks! Also, Whoever asked if Mia meant Missing in action...I Actually didn't catch that until you said anything, but it actually does fit really well to the story. (to be understood later...) Anyway thanks for reading my stories!
Preview- Kagome now knows Inuyasha is in her time, but where will she begin her search? So she inlists some help of the only other demon she knows with a good nose. And in the mean time, Inuyasha's secret is exposed to the others and himself, the new moon appears! Also without the Tetsigua, what will Mia do when she finds herself confronted with Inuyasha's Full demon form? (Don't miss this one! It's gonna be great!)
"Your going where!?" Inuyasha yelled as Mia packed her bags. Mia pulled on the straps of her bag and closed it up.
"I'm not the only one...your going too...I told you that a million times. Me, you, Yagami, and Seira are going to Kyoto...Yagamis paying!" Inuyasha looked over at the bag that Mia had packed for him. "Yagami was also thinking about inviting that other girl...Kagome." Inuyasha jolted, something inside him was burning at that name.
"I don't think I like her..." Inuyasha leaned on the wall with a glare in his eye. Mia looked over at him.
"What? why is that Inuyasha...? You don't even know her do you?" Mia put her bag on the floor and zipped up her coat.
"No I don't...anyway, how long are we going to stay?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well not to long, Seira and I have work...but about 3 days. I'm so excited! Three days at a hot springs resort in Kyoto! Hey...are you ever gonna take that thing off?" Mia pointed at Inuyasha's necklace. Inuyasha looked down at it in surprise.
"....I don't know...I never thought about it." Inuyasha pulled on the necklace and tried to lift it over his head, the necklace began to glow and become very heavy. "What!? I-it wont come off!" Inuyasha kept pulling. Mia walked up to him and tapped the necklace.
"What do you mean...?" Mia tried lifting the necklace off his head. Nothing.
"Why-wont-this-stupid-thing-come-oooofff!!" Mia was pulling as hard as she could but it didn't work. "Fine! I'll be right back..." Mia walked out of the room, only to return with some siccors. "Now...hold still." Mia began cutting the necklace, but it glew bright and did not budge. Mia let out an angry growl and stomped out of the room, coming back this time with hedge clippers. "Stupid necklace..." Mia snapped the hedge clippers down but nothing happened to the necklace. Mia said nothing as she walked out of the room this time. A few minutes later walked back in with a chainsaw.
"What the hell!?" Inuyasha backed up. "Your nuts Mia!!!"
"Hold still Inuyasha!" Mia pulled the string of the machine. Ding dong Mia and Inuyasha looked over at the door, it had already been opened and Yagami was standing in front of them.
"Having a lovers quarrel are we? Mia there are better ways to solve these things..." Yagami said sarcastically. Seira shot up behind him.
"What!? Hey Mia if your done with him can I have him! Please!!" said Seira.
"Hi guys! Ready to go?" Mia said as she put the chainsaw down. "I can't wait to go!" Mia grabbed a hat off the coat rack and handed it to Inuyasha. He put on the hat and looked over at Yagami. Yagami looked back at him with a sneer.
"Hi Inuyasha...how's it going?" said Yagami with the sneer still fresh on his face. Inuyasha glared back. Mia walked up beside him with the bags.
"Are we all set everyone?" Mia said, looking back and forth from Yagami to Inuyasha. They broke the eye contact with eachother and looked over at Mia with a smile.
"Yes!" Inuyasha and Yagami said together.
"Well then lets get going!" Mia, Inuyasha, Seira, and Yagami all headed outside to the car.
Meanwhile
Kagome and the others were headed back to Keades village, riding on Kirra. As they were landing Kagome shifted through her pocket and pulled out a letter.

Kagome looked down the well. Could this mean...? Kagome thought as she jumped down the well.

As soon as Inuyasha thought about haveing another girl friend besides Mia, Images of Kikyou, Kagome, and Mitsume flashed through his head quickly.

There was nothing he could say because he really didn't know the answer. He looked over at Mia and then back at yagami. "I don't know what is going to happen...when and if I get my memorys back but...I won't...let mia be alone, I'll keep my promise." Inuyasha had a serious look in his eye's as he stared at Yagami.

Meanwhile
Kagome was sitting in her room holding the sword that Inuyasha had left behind. She couldn't understand why the tetsigua went off like that here. She pulled the invataion out of her pocket. "I can't go the fuedel era right now...I just can't face it..." Kagome whispered as she stared at the letter. "Fine..." Kagome pulled out her bag and repacked some other things. "No...what am I thinking...I have to go and find Inuyasha..." Kagome straped the sword to her back, grabbed her bag and headed to the well.

She saw a clearing in the woods and saw a young woman there. Kagome gasped. "Stop! STOP!" Kagome yelled. Sango looked back. "What!?" asked Sango in surprise. "STOP SANGO Right over there LAND THERE!" Sango said nothing but complied. Kirra flew into the clearing. Kagome got off qiuckly and began running. "Kagome!?" Sango yelled as she watched her run off.
Kagome ran as fast as she could. While she was running she was readying her bow. Kagome saw the girl in the clearing now, it was the same girl she saw with Inuyasha as he dissapeared. "Hold it!!" Kagome yelled almost out of breath, her bow was ready and aimed at the young lady. The girl looked at Kagome with her cold eye's. "Why are you here?" said the girl in a cold tone. "Who are you!? Why did you attack Inuyasha!!?" Kagome screamed. "Answer me!!" She walked closer, never droping the bow. The girl stepped back. "My name Ikira...what bussiness do you have with me?" asked Ikira.

Kagome was begining to cry out of anger and fustration.
"So you agreed to get rid of Inuyasha!!?" Ikira nodded. "So he also put a shard in my forhead, he said I needed more power...with the shard inside of me I could easily use teleconisice...that's how I was able to teleport us to another area when you woke...but all I was suposed to do was erase him, I was just going to make him an empty vessel...I didn't meant to..."

Kagome saw the shard shine brightley in the midst of all the blood. Kagomew ran to Ikira's side. The emotions were now visible on her face again. She was happy.
"Could you...please...take the shard from my froehead...? I...want to at least die...as a human...as I used to be..." said Ikira softly, she could hardly breath now. Kagome's tears were now for Ikira. "You didn't kill him, I know what happened to him, he was just forced into another time...you are not a killer." Ikira smiled. "Thank you...now I can go peacefully, I am now truly human again...please...the shard..." Kagome nodded and removed the shard from her. Ikira closed her eyes. She died with a smile on her face, she could rest in peace now. When sango and the other's finnally found Kagome, she had already buried the body and marked her grave. They stared at her in awe, wondering what had happened. Kagome turned to looked at them with a tearful smile. "I know where Inuyasha is...thanks to her..." They all looked at the grave, and saw a carving in the tree she was buried under, It read.
Ikira.
A human whose purity shines
brighter then the
shikon jewel.

A/N: Hello! Sorry it took me so long to write this chapter, but it's summer you know! Anyway what did you think of this chapter? Kagome had to figure it out sooner or later. And for you kouga fans...don't worry. He will show up soon, as well as sesshomaru! Just for this...I'll write a little preview of what the next chapter is going to be like! Please tell me what you think about this chapter and the preview! Thanks! Also, Whoever asked if Mia meant Missing in action...I Actually didn't catch that until you said anything, but it actually does fit really well to the story. (to be understood later...) Anyway thanks for reading my stories!
