Shinigami Clara: *Sighs * I know this is confusing, so technically what I
was trying to say in the last chapter was that Kagome has A LOT of power
and I mean a LOT. If she wanted to, I believe Kagome had the power to
destroy the whole of the universe, she IS the guardian of time and space
you know^^ Of course, there is still a lot about Kag that we do not know
yet, and we will see later on^^
Kagome: Hay! Neat! So that means that I am all-powerful^^ Inu! I am NOT weak anymore!!! And I can KICK YOUR BUTT!!!
Inuyasha: Feh! You're still ningen!
Kag: I wouldn't be too confident if I were you.........
Inu: Keh!
Kag: *shrugs* if you want it this way, then....... OSUWARI!!!
Inu: *twitch twitch* arg....*faints *
Disclaimer: Finally some peace and quiet^^ Inuyasha and YYH are NOT mine thank you very much^^ and I would be great full if you kept your hands off my plot^^ ohohoho!!! Don't forget to review^^ or else I will let Hiei loose and kill you all^^ Mwahahahahahaha....... *choke * erm... never mind......
Chapter 5 To Heal a Broken Heart
"KAGOMEEEEEE!!!!" Shippo screamed as Inuyasha chased the young kitsune around, Kurama and Hiei had left for the night, and Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku all went to Kagome's home, they had tended to Souta, which was now sleeping and now, they were sitting in the living room.
Kagome sighed and walked out of the room, but not before saying, "Osuwari! And don't do anything to Shippo when I am away, or else I will sit you till you reach the other side of earth!"
The group watched as the young miko walked out, there was a tense silence that followed as they listened to Kagome's footfalls when finally; they heard the door to the house shut. The shard hunters released a collective sigh; Kagome's stillness had created a tension in the room and in their hearts. Even Shippo, who was always full of energy, was now quiet.
Miroku sighed, "There is nothing we can do for Kagome-sama at the moment, she is strong, she will be fine."
Sango nodded, "I know what it feels like, don't forget that, Kagome-chan is not the kind to wallow in self pity, she will stand up again." She smiled at Inuyasha, "You are worried, let her have time to think before you go to her."
Unfortunately, Hoshi-sama chose this moment to grope Sango, "KYAAAAA!! HENTAI!" Miroku ended up fainting on the ground.
Inuyasha ignored them, though he is reluctant to admit it in front of others, he cared for Kagome deeply, it was somewhat different from the way he cared about Kikyo, but he still cared about her.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ Outside with Kagome ~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
Kagome turned her face up to the sky, it was full moon, the sky was clear, without any signs of clouds but in Kagome's heart, the clouds of sorrow still cling to her, she is suffocating under the weight of it all. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore; she sat below the Goshinboku and started crying, for some reason, the God tree always helped to calm her.
She cried for the deaths of her mother and ji-chan, she cried for her life that was ruined, and she cried for her little brother, who would never have a parent to watch over him and to care for him and most of all, she cried for their lives, that they are no longer able to take pleasure in. Kagome silently cried for the future that she dreamed to have, but has now turned to ash and scattered to the four winds.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ Kurama ~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~
Kurama tossed and turned in his bed, unable to sleep, the image of a young girl with raven coloured hair and bluish-lilac coloured eyes haunted him whenever he closed his eyes. He couldn't get his mind off the miko, he remembered her sad eyes that looked as if her world has ended, and he remembered her tears as she screamed defiance to fate.
How could someone with so much power be so innocent? Looking at her, he could understand why she was the Lady Luminescence, the lady of light, Kagome Higurashi WAS light itself. Kurama also know that under her sadness there was a life loving aura that will eventually over power the sadness, he could imagine her, full of light and fun.
The Youko has lived in darkness for most of his life before soul took this human's body, Kagome's light to his darkness. Finally, Kurama gave up sleeping altogether, and opened the window to his room and jumped down.
"Kagome......" Was all he said before he made a mad dash to the shrine, he suddenly had an overpowering urge to see her, to hold her.
When he arrived, Kurama heard the sound of soft weeping, though it was quiet, the sound wrenched his heart, it is so full of pain and loss that the sound alone broke his heart to a million pieces (I think I went a little overboard here..... Oh well..... Never mind). Searching for the direction of the sound, he turned to see Kagome down on the ground, leaning against the largest tree with her arms wrapped around her knees.
Cautiously, he walked over and knelt beside the weeping girl, not knowing what to do, he rested his hand on her shoulder, "Kagome-sama? Are you alright?" *Smart Kurama, smart * hitting himself mentally for being such an idiot, of course she was not all right, why would he bother to even ask?
But Kagome only shook her head and huddled closer to herself, her sobs wreaking her body, when Kurama awkwardly stroked her hair, Kagome launched herself at him, holding onto him tightly.
Kurama was frozen for a moment, not knowing how best to proceed, but finally decided to stay there and let her cry herself out, he leaned against the tree, feeling it's calmness seeping into himself, he guessed that the tree had been here for a long time and it's presence sent a soothing calmness through him. Kurama stroked Kagome's hair, letting her cry.
He had no idea how long he sat there for, stroking Kagome's hair, when she finally stopped shaking, her breathing evened out and Kurama knew that she was fast asleep, having cried herself out. Not wanting to disturb the girl's slumber, he used his ki to raise his body temperature to keep Kagome warm and he himself feel asleep as well. What he did not see what a pair of golden eyes watching from the window of the house, and when he saw the Kurama guy fall asleep, did Inuyasha turn around, his ears flat, but he was happy that his friend had someone to comfort her. (Awww.....poor Inu-chan)
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ The Next Morning ~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~
Kagome woke up the next day feeling much better, she was still mourning her family and was still worried about Souta, but she knew she had to go on, then, she felt a warm body against hers and she looked up to see Kurama sleeping with his arms around her.
Kagome's eyes widened and she gasped at their positions, she was leaning on Kurama's chest and he had his arms warped around her and his head resting against the trunk of the Goshinboku. Kagome felt safe in his arms, like when she is around Inuyasha, but this was different, her heart sped up as she felt Kurama stirring.
Kurama slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he registered in his mind was something warm leaning against him, then all that happened yesterday came back to him. He looked down at Kagome and smiled, "Good morning, I hope you are feeling better today."
Kagome smiled in return, "Yes, and thank you for yesterday, I mean.....for holding me when I cried."
He nodded and slowly they both stood up and stretched, when Kagome remembered Souta, she quickly turned around after giving him an explanation before rushing back into the house. Kurama followed after her, knowing that he might be able to help Kagome's brother with his extensive knowledge of plants.
On entering, he found that the shard hunters were already sitting at the table eating breakfast, they greeted him in their normal fashion, and Miroku tried to grope Sango, again.
He found Kagome sitting by her brother's side up in her room and he walked over, hoping that she would not break into tears again.
Kagome took her Souta's hands and whispered to him, "Hay! There is just going to be you and me now, we've gotta take care of the shrine together, so what do ya think? I'm sure that mom and Ji-chan would watch over us wherever they are, so you've gotta wake up. You are the only family I have now, please wake up." Kagome felt her voice cracking by the end of it, and tears threaten to fall once again.
Then, an idea came to her, she closed her eyes and looked for her miko powers that she knew is always inside her, and pulled, the power always calmed her, it was like a peaceful haven she could find within herself. Quickly, she nudged the ball of power with her mind till they reached her outstretched hands; Kagome let her powers channel through her and into Souta.
Finally, for what seemed like years, she pulled back and looked at her handiwork, all the wounds and small cuts now disappeared, and her brother looked as if he was sleeping now, a peaceful sleep with the sweetest dreams.
Souta's eyes slowly opened and he looked at Kagome and rasped, "Onee-chan?"
Kagome let out a cry of joy and pulled Souta into her arms.
