Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters (but it would be awesome if I did). That privilege goes to the ever so talented Rumiko Takahashi.

A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. Something was wrong with the computer. So I'll upload two stories instead of one. Chapters 3 and 4. The story gets better the more you read. At least I think it does. It's the longest thing I've ever written so…yeah.

A Power like Mine

Chapter Three

Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara sat just outside the small flat they had found abandoned in the woods. Kagome had been bandaging Inuyasha up and nobody seemed to be able to ask Kagome what had happened at Naraku's castle. When she came out of the hut there was absolute silence.

"Inuyasha's going to be fine," she walked over to her backpack to put away her supplies.

Sango got up and, after glancing at everyone else, walked over to Kagome.

"Kagome?"

"Yes Sango?"

"We were all wondering…what happened at Naraku's castle?"

Kagome looked over at the others. None of them were hiding their curiosity. She sighed. They did have a right to know what was going on with her.

"Two weeks ago was my sixteenth birthday, and on that day, I started to notice things. Small things at first, but then they got bigger. When I was annoyed little things would start to shake, but then it got bigger. If I was angry, things would shatter all around me. My grandpa said that it something that happens to every other girl in the family." She took a deep breath and continued the last part. "Basically, I can control things with my mind."

She looked at everyone. They all had their mouths open, with the exception of Kirara. Kagome looked down at the ground in slight embarrassment at the silence when she sensed Inuyasha beginning to stir inside. Before anyone could make a sound, Kagome had dashed back into the hut.

"Inuyasha, are you awake?"

"Mm hm" he replied, eyes half open and staring at Kagome as she sat down next to him. She took at piece of cloth, wetted it in a bucket of water she had brought earlier, and dabbed his forehead. "What happened Kagome?"

"You got injured by Naraku…trying to save me."

"I know that. What happened with you?"

"You saw that, huh?"

Inuyasha didn't answer. He just stared intently at Kagome. She took a deep breath and told him everything she had told the others. He didn't reply for a moment.

"Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday?" he finally said and smirked. Kagome couldn't help but give him a smile. Then his smirk faded, along with Kagome's smile.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

She knew he wasn't talking about her birthday.

"I don't know."

For what seemed like quite some time, they both remained quiet. Suddenly, Inuyasha sat up.

"I'm not mad at you, but I'd appreciate it if you would tell me when something happens." When he had emphasized that one word, anger burned inside her.

"I'm sorry if I didn't tell you right away, but I was doing what I thought was best."

"What you thought was best? If you had told me sooner, you wouldn't have almost been killed!"

"Hey! If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be alive right now!"

"Feh."

"Don't 'Feh' me!" now Kagome anger was really boiling, and the hut was starting to shake. Kagome noticed and turned to leave, wanting to keep her anger under control.

"What's her problem?"

"Excuse me? What do you mean what's MY problem!"

Inuyasha stared opened mouthed at her. "How did you know I thought that?"

Kagome's eyes widened. 'Oh no! I read his thoughts and I didn't realize it!' she turned and ran out of the hut.

"Wait Kagome!"

"SIT" she yelled as she disappeared through the doorway. When Inuyasha went outside, after the spell had worn off, she had already disappeared through the woods. He was about to run after her when he was pulled back.

"Inuyasha. You can be so insensitive at times."

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha said, turning on the monk.

"Did Kagome tell you the truth?"

"Yeah"

"And did you get mad at her for keeping it a secret?"

"Of course"

"And you don't see anything wrong with that picture?"

Inuyasha paused in thought for a second. "Nope. Besides, we do it all the time."

Miroku sighed. "Just give her some time to herself, alright?"

"Fine" Inuyasha growled, and he went to go sit inside the hut and wait for Kagome to come back. Little did he know; a saimyosho had just flown by.

Author's Note: Thank you for the reviews. You might not be able to tell but I jump for joy every time I get a review. Which is weird considering I just got into the whole fanfiction thing just two months ago. Please send in reviews for the next chapter. I'm not picky or anything and I don't have a limit on the number of reviews. I'm happy with just one. As always, flames are welcome and it may be counted as a review for the next chapter but that, of course, depends on what it says. R&R. Thank you.
