Chapter 3

Kagome struggled against her body, but it had a will of it's own. The only thing she had control of was her eyes. She started to make her way to the door and Kagome was surprised no one awoke from all the noise she was making. Hold up…at least Inuyasha should have woken up. He doesn't even sleep! Whatever is going on it must be affecting them too so they can't wake up! Kagome tried to send messages to her brain and focus her attention to stopping her legs from walking but apparently it wasn't working. If I don't stop soon I'll walk right into the wall near the door!

Kagome wanted to put her hands in front of her but she couldn't, so she just closed her eyes. She was about to slam right into the wall when she made a sharp turn and walked through the door instead. Apparently what had possessed her body was smarter than she thought. At least it didn't want to hurt her. Yet.

Once Kagome was outside her stride turned to a jog and her hands that had stayed right by her side had started to sway back and forth, brushing her legs. Then she started to panic. Where the hell am I going? How long am I going to be running? What's doing this to me and why? Kagome had run far from the hut when she felt a drop on her nose. Then another somewhere else on her body, and another, and soon she felt many beads of water falling on her. It's raining. Kagome stopped, and this time she stopped on her own. She had control over her body again. Whatever had attacked her was gone. Then Kagome decided that whatever it was, it was smart enough to be able to capture her and it would strike again.


Kagome ran back to the hut in the pouring rain. She was nearly a mile away from the village and the rain was so cold that eventually it turned to hail. Her clothes were sticking to her body like glue and her hair was matted down on her head by the time she got back to the hut. She wanted to come inside and dry off quickly, then return to sleep and tell everyone what was going on in the morning, but apparently Inuyasha had noticed her leaving after the spell wore off and was waiting up for her return.

"Where were you?" Inuyasha's voice made Kagome jump as she entered the small hut.

"Oh, hey Inuyasha, you scared me…"

"Where were you?" Inuyasha repeated, with less patience in his voice. He looked down at her soaked clothes and hair. He could see right through her shirt and was trying hard not to stare at her chest. It looked like she was wearing something black underneath. Too bad, I'd much rather see her…ahh! Pervert alert!

Kagome took his hand and led him into the other room. He blushed lightly at her touch. "Si- umm…S.I.T down."

Inuyasha thought tensed as she almost said that word and sat down reluctantly.

Kagome spilled all at once. "Ok, well I don't know what's going on but something keeps possessing my body and I don't know what to do and I need your help and it happened just now and it took me away from the hut and it didn't stop until I was well into the forest and-"

"Kagome, slow down," Inuyasha interrupted the panic-stricken miko. She's really scared…He leaned in closer to her, "How about you go to sleep and we talk about it to Kaede in the morning."

Kagome nodded hesitantly. Since when has Inuyasha been so…nice and…understanding? She got up and left the room, followed by Inuyasha. Drying off and changing in the other room, she returned to her resting place composed of many blankets and a pillow. I hope this doesn't happen again….

It seemed that morning came as soon as her head hit her pillow. Kagome was slowly aroused from her sleep with a nudge on her shoulder by none other than the adorable cat demon, Kirara. The sun was bright and shining outside and the smell of breakfast cooking lured Kagome out of bed.

"Good morning, Kagome! Looks like you finally woke up!" Sango gestured Kagome to come sit by her to have something to eat. Shippo jumped into her arms and gave her a hug. Miroku gave her a huge grin. Kagome smiled at how friendly everyone was today.

"Hey, Kagome."

Kagome turned around to see Inuyasha walking towards her with a smile on his face. Even Inuyasha is in a good mood.

Soon the old priestess entered the room. Kagome decided it was time to ask the wise woman about what had overcome her. "Umm…Kaede?"

"Hmm?" The old woman slowly took a seat on the other side of Kagome.

"I kinda have something I need to talk to you about. It's really important."

"Yes. Inuyasha told me about ye." She stroked her chin while thinking and turned to Kagome. "Well, go ahead."

Kagome crossed he legs and made herself comfortable. She was sure the old woman could help her. "Well, I think something possessed me. It all started when I came back to this time about two days ago. I heard some kind of…music? Then, the next day, when I came back, I heard the music again and felt a stab in my back. I fell down and I tried to get up but my legs were paralyzed. Inuyasha helped me up though. Then I heard the music again at the hot springs, but it faded a few moments after I heard it. Then last night, I felt the pain again, and this time something possessed me and took me outside. It made me run somewhere but the spell or whatever was going on broke when it started to rain, so I guess it left."

Kaede nodded her head thoughtfully and paused for a moment, thinking. "I think that ye have been possessed by a spirit."

"A spirit?" Kagome echoed in surprise.

"Yes, a spirit of a cat demon to be exact. Apparently, it wants ye body for it's own."

"But how…?"

Kaede stood up and walked over to a shelf. She opened a book and blew off some dust before opening it cautiously. "Well, ye did say that the spirit left when it started to rain, and when ye were in the hot springs."

"Yes…"

"And ye did say ye were able to get up when Inuyasha helped ye up." The old miko still avoided eye contact with Kagome as she rummaged through the book.

"Yes…and?"

"Well, don't cats hate water, and don't cats hate dogs?"

"Yes…so that's how you repel the Juso?"

"Well…yes, but that does not permanently dive the spirit out. Ye see this demon has made its way into ye body, that's probably when ye felt the pain."

"And the music…?"

"That was not music…that was chanting. Probably a spell to lure ye into its trap or put others that may help ye to sleep."

So that's why no one woke up when I was being attacked. "So, what do I do?"

The old woman pulled a spell scroll out from between the book pages. "With this. It's a simple task, but it only works if it is done exactly by instructions."

"So…can we do the exorcism right now?"

"No, there is a certain time we can do it. That would be tomorrow night."

"But what do I do until then? The spirit may try to possess me again."

"Yes…about that…" The old woman hesitated for a minute and scooted comfortably away from Inuyasha. He wondered her reasoning. "This may sound kind of strange but…" she began.

Kagome gestured the miko to continue with her hands. Come on, the suspense is killing me!

"Well, Kagome, ye can either sit in a hot spring from now until tomorrow night or not leave Inuyasha's side until then."

"That doesn't sound so hard. I hang out with Inuyasha all the time anyway."

"I mean literally not leave Inuyasha's side for two days and one night."

"What?" Inuyasha choked. "There is no way Kagome is hanging on my arm for two days and a…night…I need my time, you know!"

"Geez Inuyasha, relax! If you need your time I'll go to a hot spring or something!" Kagome snapped, annoyed. How rude! Especially after what he said! Did he think I forgot already?

"Kagome just remember ye need to be protected at all times because anytime ye are unprotected, that is a chance for the spirit to possess ye body, and then no one can stop ye, unless it happens to rain again. Which is unlikely." Kaede said and added, "Any time ye get possessed, the spirit is driving further into ye and pushing ye soul out."

Kagome shuddered at that thought.

Just then a thought came into the Buddhist monk's head and he finally said something after being mute for the entire discussion. "Inuyasha, don't think this a bad thing! I mean you get to sleep with Kagome, how often to I get to sleep with Sango?" The monk then got a whack on the head. Through his pains he was still able to make out another perverted comment, "I guess if we hear any moaning we'll know it's not the demons!"

Inuyasha blushed furiously and tried to cover it up with anger, adding another bump on Miroku's head. "Yea Miroku…sleep!" he then turned away, crossed his arms and yelled, "Pervert!"

Kagome was also turning bright red and turned her head so her bangs covered more of her face. She wrapped her arms around her knees and looked down at the ground, brushing the comment aside. "But I can leave Inuyasha for a few moments right? Cause we all need our time to do…stuff."

Kaede understood what Kagome meant and nodded, "Yes, but only for a few moments. If ye feel dizzy, come back to Inuyasha as soon as ye can because that's probably one of the first signs that ye are being possessed."

Kagome nodded and turned to Inuyasha. "So… if you need your time, make it quick."

Inuyasha agreed but made sure she knew he was annoyed at what he was expected to do although he was secretly looking forward to tonight. I wish every day was like this! Then a though came to him, "Kaede, why does the exorcism be tomorrow? What, are you to lazy to do it right now?" he added with his usual attitude.

Kagome threw him an angry glance and elbowed him in the arm. "Be polite."

Kaede ignored his rude comment and answered, "Because tomorrow night is the night of the new moon. The night you become human. It's just that I don't want you to lose your powers when we exorcise the spirit from Kagome's body."

Inuyasha hen realized that it was because of him they couldn't do the exorcism right now. "Well…." Inuyasha began but stopped, realizing he had no defense.
