Chapter 30
He walked out of the hospital fighting the urge to turn around and go back to her. He knew he needed good and to clean up. He was covered in her blood and just had his jacket on he took his shirt off and put it on her wound. As he was walking he felt uneasy the farther away that he got from her. He had an apartment near by he hurried to one of the cars and dug keys out of his pocket and hit the button he listened as the lock disengaged and climbed in fastened his seat belt crank the car and pulled out of the lot. He had just made a turn at a red light about a block away when he felt a warm sensation was she reaching out to him. He smile at that possibility he had felt the warmth as he sat with her in the room but now it was as warm as a summer day. He drove down the road and made another turn at the light and pulled into a parking garage he got out and went to his apartment. It wasn't huge but it wasn't small either. When he walked in he removed his shoes and put them in the corner of the room. He walked down a small hallway that leads into the kitchen. It was fairly large itself with all up to date modern stainless steel appliances with all new wood cabinets that was a cherry color. The walls were a cream color that made everything tie together.
The kitchen is open and you can see into the living room and dining room in the dining room there is a small dark wood table with matching chairs and a light colored rug. The living room is just off to the right with a tan sectional and a couple of end table with small lamps on them. The tv is mounted on the wall in the corner of the room. To the left was a small walkway that went to the bathroom which was on the left then straight down that hall you would run into the master bedroom. It had a large king side bed with dark red silk sheets with a red and tan comforter. He walked over to the closet and opened the door, he grabbed some clothes and then walked over to the bed and sat down to take his socks off.
'I need to find out more about her and her family, there is details that are missing. Things are not fully adding up for me.' he thought to himself. He stood up add tossed his socks into the laundry basket that was to the side of his door. He went to the bathroom and started to clear his pockets first he took his belt and gun and laid it on the counter then his wallet and keys. He started the shower and let the water warm up.
'She has to be a miko that would explain why she is able to reach out and look for me. That is the only thing i can think of as a possibility.' he thought to himself.
He got in the shower and let the warm water was over him. It felt pretty good he had to admit he was sore from every thing that happened and he felt a little tired as well. Looking at his watch he noticed that it was only eight o'clock. He picked up his cell phone dial a number and waited for the person to answer.
"Houshi." came the voice on the line.
"Hey it's me i have something i want to ask?" Inuyasha told them
"Sure whats up?" they replied.
"What all do you know about mikos? Your a reiki user so i need you help here man." Inuyasha said to the person on the phone. The person stayed quiet for a moment.
"Inuyasha does this have to do with the woman from a few years back?" the person asked him
"Miroku does it matter, but to answer that yes. I got put back on the case a little while back and it's went sideways she is hurt and in very unstable condition." Inuyasha explained to him. Miroku was puzzled by this however.
'What is he getting at, what does this have to do with reiki or even miko's.' he thought. His thoughts were interrupted when inuyasha started talking again,
"Look i think she may be a miko, when she was being assaulted there was a purple light that radiated from her body. Then after that it's like little by little it is coming to the surface. When i'm near her i can feel her looking to see if i'm there. She is unconscious so i know she can't actually look. When i left the hospital today i could feel a warmth go over me and i knew it was her. She was looking for me and the whole time i have been away i have felt it. It's like i can feel her here with me even though i know she isn't. She also pulled me into a dream of hers while she was in surgery and i wasn't even asleep. So can you explain to me what is going on?" he told him. He was quiet for a long minute and it was driving him insane.
"There is a possibility that she is honestly Inuyasha i wouldn't know until i see her. That would be the only way that i could sense is she was a miko or not. From what you just told me it sounds like she is and a pretty strong one at that if she can locate you and pull you into dreams." Miroku told him. He honestly was curious about this girl now. But he wasn't prepared for the next part. Inuyasha was sure asking him some weird questions today.
"Alright we can do that i will pick you up in about twenty minutes. I have something else to ask you. Do you know of a way that we can heal her. She is close to death and i can't let her die."He said the urgency in his tone. Miroku picked up on that and knew what that moment he knew what was going on even when they were under cover.
"I think there is a way let me look into it and i will have some answers for you when you come to pick me up i swear and if anything i will have everything that we need to do so." he told his friend. He hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
"Hold on Kagome i'm on the way, just hang in there for me." he said to no one.
He headed down toward Miroku and Sango's apartment it was about ten minutes from his own. They were like family to him and they always stayed close to each other. He pulled up and Miroku gave him a strange look and turned his head slightly to the side.
'Such power i can feel it even from here. This woman must have amazing abilities to be able to control such a connection this long and this far.' Miroku thought to himself.
"So what were you able to find out?" Inuyasha asked miroku as he pulled his seatbelt.
"Well first I need to ask you about this woman. She has incredible power. I can sense that she is connected to you right now. Do you know how long?" Miroku said to him.
"Before I left the hospital I felt her with me and it got stronger as I walked away and went to my place. The warmth is still with me even now. I have been gone for at least an hour now and she has been there the whole time.i don't know if that helps you or anything, it's an odd feeling really it's like i'm sitting at the beach under the sun." Inuyasha told him, he even went into detail of when they arrived at the hospital and she came to him in what he thought was a dream.
"Interesting she most definitely has a connection with you, it is on another level one that i have never seen i will have to bet that their is more to her than what we know. I have been a reiki user for as long as i can remember but even i haven't master the connection with others much less being able to hold a connection as long as she has. What all do you know about her Inuyasha?" He said to the hanyo he was very interested in knowing more about this woman. He was surprised at her control and abilities. He would have to call someone though before he could figure out a way to get her healed. He had yet to tell Inuyasha that he didn't really know of a way yet. He had to learn more about the woman before he could come up with a plan. From the information that he was told though he had a good idea of a way but it could be risky.
They pulled up into the parking lot of the hospital and was exiting the car when Inuyasha felt a rush of something rush through him. Miroku had just rounded the front of the car when Inuyasha stopped. Even Miroku felt the surge of power. Was this her? He stood there in shock as he watched the hanyo go from silver haired to black haired. It lasted less than ten seconds then he was back to normal.
"Inuyasha….?" Miroku said questionable.
"Something is wrong it's like the life was being pulled out of me." Inuyasha said to him. The warm feeling that he had was fading and fast; he started to panic and took off running. Miroku was hot on his heels as they made it to the elevators. They didn't even mash the button there was a door to the right of the elevator and the opened it and started to run up the steps to get to the second floor. Inuyasha flung the door open and ran down the hall and then made a turn and ran a little further then one last turn and they were now in the intensive care unit. As he stepped forward he heard the sound of the machines going off, people were running in and out of kagome's room. He watched as they started cpr and he felt his heart start to slump. Anger took over him as he turned to his brother.
"Why the hell didn't you call me!? How long has she been like this!?" he screamed at him. Sesshomaru wasn't fazed by his outburst, If anything he was expecting it.
"This just happened right before you walked in, you need to calm yourself before you start to change. We don't need that right now we need you level headed." sesshomaru said to him. Miroku stepped forward then,
"Inuyasha she sent you a sign she pulled some of you demonic energy from you." he told him. Everyone of their friends looked at him in shock and he went on to tell them what happend.
"So this woman can take a demons power?" sesshomaru asked Miroku
"Well she did take some of his it wasn't much cause he was only human for a few seconds. I can't be sure maybe she was desperate and scared. I do think that if she really wanted to then maybe." he told them they all turned to look at the sight before them they were still doing cpr and miroku didn't have to have the demon hearing of the others but he heard the snap of some of her ribs breaking under the pressure of each compression.
"I'll be back." miroku said to them. He walked off from the room and took out his phone and called his master and told him what was going on and told him to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
Inuyasha stood there frozen watching he felt the warmth fading she was slipping away from him again. He felt the boiling of his blood again he knew it was close to the surface and so did everyone around him. They took a step away from him all but one his father actually to a step forward,just as Miroku walked back up he was about to walk up to Inuyasha when Sesshomaru grabbed his shoulder and shook his head at him.
"It would be wise to stay back, this woman has changed him his control has slipped and he is changing." sesshomaru told miroku who was in shock and nodded at the other demon. He felt the surge just as Inuyasha staggered. His father caught him and was holding him up as he started to go limp.
He felt the surge run through him it was the same as before but a little different. The warmth was radiating through him, he felt wind brush his hair. He blinked he was in a meadow again coming in to view was a beautiful Kagome she looked pale compared to the way she usually looked, her eyes seemed a little duller.
"Kagome…. What is going on?" he asked her as he walked up to her and pulled her into his arms.
"I…. i don't know. I feel so cold Inuyasha." she told him holding him tight he was so warm she needed his warmth. She wanted to hold on to him and not let go.
"Kagome i need for you to keep fighting the cold. Don't you leave me." he told her even now he felt himself starting to transform which was strange he could have swore that he already had.
"I won't give up. I need to ask you something?" she said to the half demon.
"Anything kagome what is it you need is there anything that i can do for you?" he asked her.
"Why does this keep happening to me? I want to have a normal life one where I don't have to move around and be shadowed, I want to be normal?" she said to him.
"Kagome I will do anything to give you that life. You deserve that much. I don't know why all of this is happening to you, but I will do my best to give you that" he told her before he brushed his lips across hers.
The warmth started to fade and so did the meadow. There were two figures to appear. Kagome's hold on him tightened she started balling then.
"Kagome,what is going on?" He said to her as he realised her and pushed her behind him in a protective manner.
"It's them…. They always come to my dreams." she told him. She didn't say anything but the figures started towards them. It was odd he could almost smell the blood coming off of them.
"This is your fault Kagome, you should have been with us." hissed the small child.
"You will be with us soon."said the woman. Kagome fell to the ground in a ball crying. The area around them changed and Inuyasha started seeing everything play out as if he was there. He watched as she ran for her life then finally getting home to find her family. His heart broke for her,she had been through so much and the faces of her family were still haunting her. Everything started playing out. He watched as years of her life unfolded and led up to this point. He stood there a moment before grabbing Kagome holding her close do him,
"Don't you worry… you are not alone anymore. Nothing will harm you again. I'm here Kagome just come back to me." he pleaded the last part.
She gripped him like he was going to leave her and never return she was shaken she could still hear them. Their presence were still there, standing behind Inuyasha saying those awful things to her. He was holding her trying to make her understand things will change and nothing would hurt her he would die for her when everything started to fade then she was gone.
He blinked and was looking at a very confused father and friends. A surge on energy rushed over him and he again stumbled this time he was ready for it. He was in his full demon form and he watched as his claws went back to normal. He closed his eyes. He held onto the counter and prepared himself should he would do anything for her he didn't care if it killed him as long as it meant that she lived. His friend and father looked at him in shock. He opened his eye and Miroku was standing in front of him.
He felt it when she made the connection to him and then felt her pulling the energy from Inuyasha to herself.
The others were now in her room the nurses were confused the patient they thought was dead was now back to normal and then some. She had a steady heart rate her breathing was normal and even most of her wounds were healed. They all looked at her then the people around them the doctor ordered blood test ,xrays, and even a ct of the woman.
Miroku walked away for a moment then came back with his master, he told him what happened and what Kagome did. Then he walked over to the man sitting in the corner, he was surprised cause miroku told him that this man was a half demon but as he sat in the corner the man looked human to him. The man had long black hair and dark blue eyes.
"Inuyasha?" he said to him
"Who are you?" was inuyasha reply he wasn't in the mood to be dealing with this.
"I'm Mushin i trained miroku and he asked for my help and i'm glad that he called me. How are you feeling. He told me that you was a half demon but you look human to me?" he wanted to know
"Yes I am…. I'm not sure what is going on or what happened?" inuyasha said his resolve fading.
"I see."he said as he studied the woman for a few moments and could sense that she was connected with the man sitting before him. This was very interesting to him. From what Miroku had told him She was in critical condition and would surely perish from her wounds. Yet here she was pretty well healed and the half demon human.
"I have a theory." he stated getting the attention of the small group.
"Yea well what is it,cause we are all wondering how muttface went human."Koga said to the man Ayame and he had been standing back trying to figure out what was going on and they had a thought but wasn't sure.
"My thoughts are that she has connected to Inuyasha in a way that no other had. She took his demonic powers in order to save her life. She was dying." Mushin said to the group. They were quiet for a moment,
"You mean to tell me a mere human can take our demonic power, and render us human or dead." Sesshomaru spoke up.
"In not saying she would kill you but it is possible. I suppose. I have never encountered this personally before. But I have heard stories of it. The last person that was known to do this has been gone from this world for sometime now." said Mushin to the group. They all looked at each other then at his father. Inuyasha was starting to get irritated now.
"What the fuck is going on? Why are you guys being so quiet what the hell have you not been telling me!?" he demanded and with a sigh his father explained it All and rendered him speechless.
"So the old man has been after he cause you sealed his powers away and now she is using them?"he said.
"In a manner of speaking yes but the powers are hers she has surpassed him many times over." said his father.
"We have a problem now, her powers are growing and any reiki user will be able to detect her power. It's strong angle she is connecting it to him. It will only be a matter of time before they find her." Mushin informed the group.
"I have a plan for that." Their father stated
"Inutaisho can you enlighten us. Miroku and I may be of some help being a reiki user and all."Mushin said to him. He nodded to the other man and took a breathe. He knew his son wouldn't like it.
"We bring her to one of my compounds and place guards and seals. She will have a full medical staff and be heavily protected. The thing is I want seals to keep her hidden but I want her powers to be able to be sensed without giving the location of her to draw him out." Inutaisho said to them and he watched his son jump up.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND OLD MAN!? YOU WILL NOT BE DOING THAT SHE COULD DIE IF THEY FIND HER. THIS SHITS YOUR FAULT ANYWAY!" Inuyasha screamed at him. His blood boiling once again. They watched as he went from human to half demon with red streaks through his eyes.
"Son you are right this is all because of me and he will surely come for me sooner or later. This is the only way to draw them out she will in no way be hurt I assure you." he said trying to convince his son.
"Don't be stupid little brother I will be there as well the woman will be fine this Sesshomaru won't let anything happen to you or her." He said with a nod which surprised him.
"You have us as well."Ayame said to him. Her and Koga both nodded.
"Fine but nothing is to harm my mate." he said through gritted teeth and growling his demon was back in full control.
All nodded and his father smirked and his brother looked at him slightly surprised.
The plan was set and Inuyasha was calming down. A small woman walked in with a smile,
"Inuyasha she's doing great they are talking about taking her off the vent here in a few. Her condition has greatly improved. Is there anything I can get for you?" she said to him. He smiled at her
"No Rin thank you though." Inuyasha told her. They heard a small squall from behind them and she turned to see a red head running at her. She embraced her
"Oh Rin it's so wonderful to see you I didn't know you worked here." Ayame said finally realising her.
"Yes I have been here for about three years now. I love it. Well that was until recently. I never thought that I would have to tend to someone I was so close to." She told them. She had her head bowed and then she heard a deep voice speak up,
"We will be taking Kagome to a safe house so that we can better protect her we need a good nurse and will pay for the services. Being that you know her and she likes you would you be willing to do that?" came the voice Rin turned to the taller silver haired man and looked at him for a moment.
"You can't be serious about taking her out of the hospital. She has improved yes but isn't well enough or stable for that matter to be moved anywhere." she said pointing from Sesshomaru to kagome.
"So you agree to come then." was all he said to her.
"I will take care of her Yes but you can't move HER out of the hospital that's just to risky and I won't let you." she said jabbing her finger into his chest. He was surprised at this woman She didn't fear him like most in fact she was telling him what was what.
Everyone was surprised at her. Rin had always been a bit feisty but never thought she would be willing to step up to a full demon and make demands. Their father stopped the torment. Her was even amused by the small woman. He seen the amusement in Sesshomaru's eye and knew he was toying with the woman.
"Your name is Rin right?" he asked her. She nodded her head to the older demon. Who smiled at her as she was blushing now.
"Rin I know it's not the best idea to move Kagome but we have to the people that did this to her will find her to easy here." he explained the plan and she didn't like it at all but she did agree to go with them.
The preparations have begun and everything was set.
'let the fun begin.' thought Inuyasha.
