Chapter Nine: Awaken
~Last time~
Kurama would watch the little kitsune that seemed so disappointed that his mother would not wake up. He knew that Kagome was not Shippo's mother. Shippo had explained this to him and the others. Besides that Kurama was able to sense that Kagome was still pure and had never been marked. Kurama was happy at this. He wanted with all his heart for Kagome to wake up. All her friends wanted her and Inuyasha to wake up soon.
~Now~
Another week had passed. Kurama and Shippo still did not leave the sleeping Kagome or Inuyasha alone. Shippo was laying next to Kagome as he slept the night away. Kurama looked at him and the girl who did not wake.
'Kagome why won't you wake up now? You should have awaken a long time ago.'
Kurama kept thinking of all the things that prevented her from just opening her eyes and talk to him. He wanted to embrace her in his arms knowing that she was alright. He wanted for her to know that he was going to do with all his best to protect her. He wanted to tell her so much and promise her so much. Yet he knew he could not rush her. He was not certain on her feelings for him. She had just recently met him. They had barely even discussed something in full.
'Kurama do not doubt that Kagome is ours. She is meant to be with us.' ~Youko thinking
'Youko, you can not claim her as ours. What if she does not care for me? I can not rush her into anything neither can you.' ~Kurama
'She is ours!'~Youko
' Kagome is a person and she is free to choose if she wants to be mine..ours.' ~ Kurama 'You are weak with the emotions you feel for her. You should sense that she belongs to you. That she belongs to us. You felt something for her since you first laid eyes on her. You know what I am talking about. You must make her our own or I will.'~Youko 'You not force her into anything! You will leave her alone. I will not allow you to harm her! You are leaving my mind now!!' ~ Kurama
Kurama used his energy to lock Youko inside of him so that he was not able to be let lose any time soon. He did not want Kagome to be hurt because of him. He would rather lose his Youko side to secure Kagome' s safety. He would give her time and find out if she was able to care for him as he did her. He just wanted her with him. She made his soul at ease. Her aura caused a strange effect on him. She was just-
"K-urama?" he turned to look at who was calling him. He was surprised and happy to see that it was her. It was Kagome. She sitting up and looking at him.
"Kagome, your awake. You should still lie down. Are you feeling okay?" He took a seat next to her.
"Kurama, uh what happened?" she looked at him in confusion.
"You don't remember?"he asked her.
" The last thing I remember was Kikyo and that sharp pain I felt when her arrow hit me."
He then started to explain what had happened after she was hit. She was heart broken. He did not like seeing her cry as soon as she told her that Inuyasha was not responding well and may die and that Naraku had killed Miroku.
Kagome looked at Kurama and then got up to seat next to the unconscious Inuyasha. She was got both his hands in hers and a bright light started to appear. Kurama was in shock. She did not tell him that she was able to heal.
It took less than a minute for Shippo to awake. He had sensed Kagome's energy. He ran towards her and stopped when he noticed that she was healing Inuyasha. Then Inuyasha himself awoke. Kagome embraced him as he did her.
Kurama felt a sharp pain as he watched the raven haired girl be in the arms of another man. He was saddened and angry. He knew that he was not angry but that it was Youko. Youko wanted to get out and claim the girl as his. Kurama did not allow him to do so.
Kagome ane Inuyasha let go and looked at each other. They did not say a word until Shippo jumped in between them.
"Are you guys okay!! Momma you are okay right? I missed you so much!!!! I was brave when you were asleep. I also helped make sure you and Inuyasha lived. Kurama taught me how to heal but no matter what we did neither of you woke up and I was sad." Shippo hugged Kagome. "I am ok now. Don't worry and I am very proud of you." Kagome looked at Shippo and the Inuyasha. She needed to talk to him about what had happened.
"Shippo would you go outside so that I can speak with Inuyasha." Shippo looked at her than Inuyasha and Kurama.
"Can Kurama come with me?" Kurama did not want to leave Kagome with Inuyasha. He now knew that she had feelings for Inuyasha by the way she would look at him. He wanted her to look at him that way not Inuyasha.
"Kurama needs to be here too."Shippo was sad, but Kurama was pleased that he did not have to leave.
"Very well, but I am telling everyone else that you are awake." he ran outside.
Kagome turned to Inuyasha and Kurama.
"Inuyasha do you remember anything that happened before you were knocked out?" Kagome asked him.
" Who is he?" Kagome looked at Kurama. She did not introduce Inuyasha and Kurama the last time..well the last time they were conscious. Anyway how could she. They were after all in battle.
" That Inuyasha is a new friend. His name is Kurama. He has been tending and helping us live when we were injured." Kagome then new that she had to explain to Inuyasha. Kurama talked to him to insure him he meant no harm and that his intentions were pure. Inuyasha still did not like that this Kurama was tending to his Kagome. Still he was grateful enough that he saved her and him from dying.
"Uh, Inuyasha like I was saying before. What was the last thing you remember?" Kagome asked after she told him how her and Kurama and his friends met and that they followed her to his time.
"Uh, I remember seeing you hit by Kikyo's arrow and then Naraku attacking me."
"Inuyasha, you don't recall about Miroku?" Kagome asked.
"What did the perverted monk do this time?"
Kagome did not speak. Inuyasha was confused. Kurama knew that Kagome did not know how to tell him what happened to Miroku.
"Uh, Inuyasha. Miroku was..he was...." Kagome cried as she tried to tell him. Inuyasha understood but he needed to be sure. "Miroku was killed by Naraku." Inuyasha had anger growing inside of him. Naraku would have to pay for destroying one of his friends and Kikyo his beloved Kikyo that he now loathed would have to pay for harming Kagome.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome looked at him.
"Don't worry Kagome, Naraku and Kikyo will pay with their lives if it the last thing I do. That I swear." he was clenching his fists tightly that blood began to pour from his hands. Kagome grabbed hold of his hands once more and healed them. She then turned to an emotionless Kurama.
"Kurama I would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. But I need to ask you a favor?"
Kurama did not know what to feel when he saw Kagome comfort Inuyasha once again. He did not know what to say when Inuyasha swore to avenge his friend and Kagome. But he did know that he would do anything Kagome asked of him.
"That is okay. What is this favor you ask of ?"
"Kurama would you........"
