Chapter 13

-Inu Taisho's POV-

I looked at the crying miko near me. What did she mean by portal? She said that it was portal to her home and it wasn't opening for her. Was she crying because of it?

-Normal POV-

Kagome continued to cry as she felt strong arms pulled her close to the strong male chest.

-Inu Taisho's POV-

She cried against my chest, and I seemed unable to do something to stop her tears. I was surprised as she begin to glow with bright pink light. 'Miko powers!' I thought. But she didn't try to purifity me, instead I felt warm and... Free. My wounds disappeared as the miko in my arms seemed to be somewhat dizzy. I looked at her "What did you mean by portal".

"Well..."

-Sendoku Jidai-

"Inuyasha, we've been traveling for almost two days now, but there were no rumors of the jewel shards. And we can't find Kagome" whimpered Shippo. He was in foul mood since Kagome disappeared. Just as everybody else. "How in the hell I supposed to know what happened to her"yelled Inuyasha.

Heart beating sound

Inuyasha stopped. "What is the matter, Inuyasha" asked Sango. "I thoughts I heard something. Never mind. Let's go" answered inu-hanyou.

Heart beating sound

"I heard it again". "What do you mean, Inuyasha" this time it was Miroku. "This time I really heard it. It sounded like heart beating" - Inuyasha almost yelled. However, a second later he was brought down by a wave of pain that shouted through his body. For a moment his body became see-trough, then back to normal. However, this time he looked more mature and tall. His dog-like ears disappeared, only to be replaced with elf-like ears of full youkai. His face was marked with two purple stripes and on his shoulder was a boa-like thing. He was dressed in white haori and hakama with armor and red and purple sash. Thought moment later his body was again half-visible and than again normal. This time e looked like his normal self. "Did you saw that" gasped Shippo. Sango and Miroku only nodded. They were too shocked. "Are you okay, Inuyasha" asked Miroku. Inuyasha nodded. Than he said"For a moment I felt like I was filled with great power. And I felt...whole. But just for a moment" he looked at the others "Why are you standing like statues! Whatever it was, we still have shards to find". Shippo sighed. Yep, Inuyasha was alright. If only he know, how confused was Inuyasha really.

-Inuyasha's POV-

'That memory... Memory of how my mother died, it's...different. There wasn't Sesshomaru in it before:

-Flashback -

A little boy was crying upon young womans body that was slowly disappearing in pink light. "No, okaasan". Young woman smiled and raised her hand to meet little boy's cheek "Don't cry, Inuyasha" she said "I promise you, you'll see me again". She turned her head "Sesshomaru". Sesshomaru, who looked around 16-17 come closer and kneeled down to the woman. His eyes were filled with sorrow "I'm sorry, mother. I wasn't there to protect you" he said. Young woman smiled "I do not blame you, Sesshomaru. You couldn't change that". Her body became see-through "Please, look after Inuyasha. He's still just a child. Help him with his change. On his seventeenth birthday he'll change" with this she disappeared completely. There was a slight whisper on the wind "I will, mother". Sesshomaru looked at the little Inuyasha and pulled him in his lap. "Do not cry" he said to his brother "Okaasan said that we will see her again, it means we will. Kagome-okaasan never lies".

-End flashback-

Kagome…

-With Kagome and Inu Taisho -

"You see" started Kagome "I came from the future. More than five hundred years". Inu Taisho looked at her with confused, but let her continue. "On my fifteenth birthday I was pulled into the Bone Eater's well by the centipede woman. That's how I traveled into the past in first time. Not in this time, around seventy years later. I was bitten by mistress centipede and a Shikon-no-Tama came out of my body" Kagome looked at the Taiyoukai's confused face and explained "Jewel of the Four Souls. In the Sendoku Jidai I saw a youkai in first time because there's no youkai in my time. To make long story short, I shattered Shikon Jewel and now me and my friends seek the shards of the jewel to rid world of its presence" she took a deep breath "My friends named Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara. Inuyasha is half dog demon, Miroku is prevented monk with Kazaana in his hand, Sango is the last from the taijiya village and her pet Kirara, Shippo is kitsune whose parents were killed". Inu Taisho looked at her "Why are you telling me this? I am a youkai; I can use it against you". Kagome looked at him and smiled; a small, weak smile "I guess because I have no chance to see them again. Well didn't open to me. Me and Inuyasha are the only ones who can go through it. It's useless even to try now". A single tear run down her cheek as she closed her eyes and fell; she was too weak after using her miko powers. Inu Taisho stared at the girl. He could only guess how this girl was still able to even smile after loosing everything she held dear.

-Later-

Kagome opened her eyes only to found herself in the comfortable bed. Even with her blurred vision, this room looked oddly familiar. And she understand why: there was only one place that she was hugged so strongly by little silver-haired youkai "Sessho-chan!". Sesshomaru giggled "I missed you so-o-o much, Kagome-chan! I'm glad that you're here again!". Kagome hugged him back "I'm glad to see you again, too!". Suddenly he started sniffing air and his eyes widened "Oh, no! Chi-chi-ue's going here!". He hide behind her bed and whispered: "I'm not here!". Kagome giggled at his actions. Soon after her bedroom door opened and Inu Taisho walked in. "I see you're awake, miko" he sniffed air "And you've got some company". He walked to the Kagome's bed and looked at the Sesshomaru, who was starring in the opposite direction. "You're again in miko's room, Sesshomaru?" he said right next to Sesshomaru's ear. Sesshomaru "Yepp"-ed and run off his hiding place. Kagome could just giggle at this.

Sorry for not updating. Just people were mean and didn't want to give me one hundred and tenth review. Everybody asked for longer chapters, so here it is!
