Chapter 14
I have said this and I guess by law I HAVE to say it again... Sadly I don't own Inuyasha, or the X-Men!
So quit bothering me about it!
I thank those for reviewing!

But Kagome didn't feel better the next day, or that week or the week after that. She excepted the offer for the slot in Jeans Fine Arts Show. It sounded more like a time to show off then a school event, but if she didn't accept the rest would suspect... more than they do now.
She didn't go to training sessions regularly any more. Kagome was always trying new powers in her room. Evidently being a miko made her a perfect host for demonic souls. She could conjure fire, and control it. She could twist light into pictures at her will and sound waves were totally at her command.
The scent of roasted almonds had long since left her cloths and Kagome was again alone. Her face was gaunt and she didn't sleep any more. Inuyasha never came anymore, and Kagome was bleeding herself on a regular basis to keep Inuyasha at bay. And the time he was gone was getting shorter every time.
" Kagome!" Jean asked through the door.
" Who is it?" Kagome snapped, she was doing that more and more often.
" It's Jean. You know the Fine Arts Show is tonight right?"
" Of course I know! I've been ready for weeks!" Kagome snapped again, but in reality Kagome was in her room finishing her costume, and flipping through music.
Pulling the last thread through her outfit. Kagome folded it, and stuffed it into her black duffel bag. Fingering through CDs Kagome picked the perfect one and put it in with her wardrobe.
She didn't know why she was doing this, but it just seemed like the right thing to do. The right thing to do? Kagome hadn't done that in ages. The right thing to do? Good people usually never can do the right thing. The right thing to do? But then again, if you do things right people'll never know.
Pulling on a big black sweatshirt and went to Shippo's room. Decked out in green and Teen Titian's Shippo's room was defiantly colorful.
" Shippo, it's time to go." Kagome said watching him play his old Super Nintendo. For being eight-years-old Shippo easily grasped the story of the Final Fantasy series. And just like a series of books Shippo went in order, not something a regular eight-year-old would; he was currently on number six. (Six for Japan, Three for the states)
" Just a moment." Shippo begged.
" Shippo, you save that, and we'll go."
" Alright." Shippo answered back, not looking away from the T.V. He twirled his thumb around the arrow panel, and a text box that said "Bum Rush" appeared on the screen.
Kagome could never get this stuff. RPG, no-PG, video games just weren't her thing. Sighing Kagome bent down, and picked up an assortment of dirty clothes off the floor. He was, and he wasn't like a regular boy.
Shippo gave out a cry of victory as the monster on the screen disappeared and was obviously dead. Shippo saved his game, and turned off the system, and them the T.V. He stood up and tugged at Kagome's sweat shirt.
" I can't lie for you anymore Kagome. I hate lying like this, especially to Kurt." Kagome knelt down, and encircled the little boy in her arms.
" It's okay Shippo, you won't have to lie after tonight. And if something goes wrong you still won't have to lie."
" Okay Kagome." Ending the hug Kagome started to dig in her pockets. Pulling out what looked like a watch.
" It's a holo-watch, just like Kurt's. You'll have to thank the Professor when we get downstairs."
" It's okay Kagome, I don't need one see!" Shippo ran to his small desk, and pulled a leaf out of the bottom drawer. Placing it on his head Shippo disappeared in a puff of blue light and smoke. And with a loud POP, standing before Kagome was a regular boy of eight-years-old with red hair, and bright turquoise eyes. " I've been practicing!"
" That's great Shippo, really great job! How long can you hold it?"
" For a couple hours."
" That's great! I'm so proud of you!" Kagome exclaimed hugging him again. There was a knock on the door, both looked to see Kurt in the door frame.
" Everyone's waiting downstairs." He said quietly. Kagome stood up, and ushered Shippo out the door.
" I'm so sorry Kurt. I've been so distant ever since I got here." Kagome said taking his hand in hers.
" Kagome?"
" Yes Kurt."
" Would you tell me what you were like... before you came here?" Kagome sighed and looked up at Kurt. Sincere and caring eyes looked back. Going on her toes Kagome lightly kissed him on the cheek.
" Someday, but not today."
" Kurt! Kagome! Hurry up! We're going to be late!" Jean shouted up the steps. Taking Kurt's hand again Kagome led the way down the stairs.
' He makes me feel safe... kind of the same way Inuyasha did. Only Kurt was different, he's not Inuyasha. I feel that he already knows a bit of what I've gone through.'
Sorry for the short chapter, but the next few are supposed to be Big Slams! Please Review!
