I know a very fast update; I'm going crazy trying to get my thoughts out before they disappear. On with the chapter!
Kagome's eyes snapped open as parts of her last four years in the feudal era passed before her eyes.
:: Flashback ::
"Kagome, I have to tell you something." InuYasha announced, looking deep into Kagome's eyes.
"Kagome, you don't belong here, you should go home."
"InuYasha, don't say that!" Kagome replied as calmly as she could, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's true Kagome…you don't belong here. You're not trained and you slow me down." InuYasha replied.
"If I wasn't for me you wouldn't even be able to move." Kagome told him.
"I know…I know…but, I don't need you anymore." InuYasha replied.
"What about the jewel?" Kagome asked him.
"Kikyo can help me find them. Just go home Kagome." InuYasha told her as he turned and walked away.
Kagome looked down at the small chunk of jewel in the bottle around her neck and cried.
:: Switch Flashback ::
"Do you love me InuYasha?" Kikyo asked InuYasha as they stood under the god tree.
"Of course Kikyo, I never stopped loving you." InuYasha told Kikyo, unaware that Kagome was hearing everything.
"What of my reincarnation?" Kikyo asked.
"What of her?" InuYasha asked her.
"She has half of my soul." Kikyo whined.
"She won't have it for long. Just wait till we have the full jewel." InuYasha told her before he aggressively pressed his lips to hers.
Kagome gasped, turned and ran.
:: Switch Flashback ::
"What do we have here?" Naraku asked as he peered down as Kagome.
"Back off Naraku." Kagome replied, notching an arrow into her bow.
"Come now Kagome, you know you can't kill me. Where's your half breed protector?" Naraku asked her in a menacing voice.
Suddenly a tentacle shot out and knocked Kagome bow out her hands and sent her flying back into a wall.
Kagome was pinned to the wall before she could even blink.
"Now what a predicament this is." Naraku said, looking at Kagome with an odd glint in his eyes. "How powerful I would be if I possessed the Shikon miko." Naraku mumbled as he ran his hands over Kagome's hips as his tentacles pinned her to the wall.
Kagome was screaming inside for InuYasha to come.
'He's not coming. He's really not coming' Kagome thought, something inside her snapping.
:: End Flashback ::
Kagome snapped back into reality to find herself being hovered over by Bousan and Sesshomaru.
"Easy now." Bousan announced, helping Kagome to her feet.
"What happened?" Kagome asked, running her hands through her hair.
"What is the last thing you remember?" Bousan asked.
Kagome aura flared up.
"Naraku." Kagome growled.
"Naraku?" Bousan asked, confusion laced in his voice.
"That bastard I'll kill him." Kagome seethed, her aura flaring more.
"Kagome calm down or you're going to purify us." Bousan announced, with a slight laugh in him.
"What about Naraku?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome paused thinking.
"It…It didn't happen." Kagome muttered to herself.
"What?" Sesshomaru asked, his mask slipping only to be replaced in an instant.
"The last thing I remember is the last time I was fighting with Naraku. Before that…I was sitting by the fireplace." Kagome thought out loud.
"I see my work here is done." Bousan announced with a smile.
"I just have one question." Kagome announced as Bousan was heading for the door. "Why did I only experience some of my past while other parts were left out?" Kagome asked.
"That is for you to decide." Bousan replied as he swept out of the room.
Kagome was confused for a moment before she realized her mind had played moments in her life that would make the real Kagome shine through.
Sesshomaru observed Kagome with a sparked interest. Her aura was calming again, she was calm. She was also very powerful, more powerful than he knew. And the way her eyes sparkled when she was thinking.
Sesshomaru mentally cursed himself for noticing such things about the human miko.
"Sesshomaru…" Kagome started. "Is there any way…that one of your men…could…possibly...train me?" Kagome asked.
Sesshomaru was now very intrigued with the young miko.
"Train you?" He asked her with a raised eye brow.
"Like to fight." Kagome replied, thinking that Sesshomaru must have some sort of brain damage to not understand what she meant.
"Very well. I will send a servant to retrieve you in the morning. As for now, I suggest you rest. The children are already asleep." Sesshomaru replied as he silently left the room.
Kagome watched the door shut and then looked back at her bed. She wasn't tired but knew she should sleep, tomorrow would be a big day, a painful one too. That much she knew.
She laid down on her bed and let her mind clear as she drifted into an uneventful, dreamless sleep.
I know this is a very, very short chapter but I promise you the next chapter will be longer and be juicier…I smell a first kiss but I don't know. Please review.
