I hope that everyone likes my stories so far. I would like to get a couple of reviews before I post my next chapter. And I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters.
Everyone was stunned with what Kagoma had told them. Of course she had left out the part of her inner voice being able to read Inuyasha's thoughts. She didn't want to frighten any of them or embarrass Inuyasha. Now everyone was looking at her. Miroku was the first one to regain his composer.
"Lady Kagoma, this is very interesting. I have only hear of a very few mikos achieving this kind of power. It is hard to believe that you have achieved it." Miroku got the angry look Kagoma was sending him. He quickly explained before he got hurt again today. He still had that lump on his head for touching Songo's backside. "I mean no disrespect Kagoma. I always thought that you already had incredible power; it is just that there hasn't been a miko of your extreme power for over 50 years. That it all that I meant by it."
"That's ok; I can't really believe it is happening to me. But I felt the power flow through my veins, and I heard my guide. I know I have to start training by tomorrow." I know that it have to start training now. The stronger I get, the less of a burden to everybody. And I could be a greater asset to defeating Noraku. Kagoma was interrupted from her thoughts by Inuyasha.
"I don't know about this. We can't have kept fainting all the time you use your power. You'll just be a burden if we have to lug you around all over the place." She looked so fragile when I caught her in the field. Her shin was so pale and her breathing was shallow. I don't want to see her like that again.
"It's ok Inuyasha. My guide said that after my first activation of my power, I won't faint like that. I just have to train and I won't feel so weak. That is why I'm going to start my training tomorrow. I have to get stronger and master the first level of my power. It's the only way for me to get stronger, and to get more answers from my guide. I have to do this."
"I believe that Kagoma is right. I have heard that mikos with that much power have to train or the power would consume them. Also, she and her powers can be of great use in fighting Noraku." Everyone was now looking at Miroku. Songo was suorised that Miroku would know as much. Kagoma was looking at him thankfully. She definally needed the acurance that somebody was on her side about this. Inuyasha on the other hand was sending death glares at him. Lady Kagoma, if there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know."
"Thank you, Miroku, I willtake you up on that offer. I will need some help with meditating and other things that might help me with my spiritual powers. Songo, canI ask a favor from you?"
"Of course Kagoma. Anything that Ican do to help youI will." Songo was glad that she could do something for Kagoma. Kagoma has always helpedher through her most troubling time.
"Well, I would like it if you couldtrain me to fight. Before you answer, let me explain. I have a feeling that just getting my spiritual powers under control won't be enough. I will need to know how to fight soI can useit to its fullest potential.
"Are you sure Kagoma?" Kagoma nodded at her. "Then it will be my honorto train you. I can start after your training withMiroku." Kagoma was so relieved that she throw herself at Songo in a hug.
"Thank you so much Songo! I have a very good feeling about this. And i'll try not to complain during any of the exercies that we might do." They were both laughing at that point.
Ok, Ok, Kagoma, I get the idea. I even think this might be fun." Songo said finally composing herself enough to speak. Inuyasha was not believing what he was hearing. Songo and Miroku would be training her in a power that almost distroyed her. He knew that Miroku had a point that the power, if untrained, could destroy her, but he didn't think that they would start training so soon after he found her passed out in the field only a couple of hours ago. Inuyasha just got up and left the hut. Everybody was staring at him. Nobody expected him to do that. Kagoma, I think that you should go and talk to Inuyasha."
"I think that you're right, but I would like to know why he's acting so weird. I mean, he was all right until we started talking about me training." Everybody was quit untilKeade spoke up.
"Lady Kagoma, I think that he is still very worried about ye safety. He was the one who found you. And when he brought ye back, you were very pail and your breathing was very shallow. I think that it scared him to see ye in that kind of state. I believe that if ye talk to him, ye can ease his fears a little." Everybody looked at Keade and then at the floor. They all knew that she was right. The trueth hit Kagoma full force. No wonder he was acting so weird. Whenever I do get injuried, he is the main one that watches over me and protects me until I get better. Even after that, he watches me more closely and almost never leaves my side. I better go and talk to him.I waas going to talk to him about the kiss that we shared before everyone walked in on us. Since everyone was looking at the ground, nobodynoticed that Kagoma touch her lipsand blush. Kagoma got up and walked over towards the door.
"Kagoma!Were are you going?" a concerned Shippo asked. Shippo was also worried that Kagoma was still weak and shouldn't be walking.
"I'll be fine ,Shippo, don't worry. I'm just going to straighten everything out with Inuyasha.We have a lot of things totalk about." Shippo nodded and jumped off of her shoulder. Kagomathen went out to find Inuyasha.
"I wonder one of those things their going to talk about is what they were doing when we walked in on them?" Miroku said more to himselfthan to anybody else.
"PERVERT!" Songo said angerly while hitting him over the head withher fist. That left the monkout cold and witha biig lump on his head.
"When will that pervert monk know when to keep his mouth shut?" Shipppo said while putting hishandsin his sleaves and shaking his head,
"Ahh, yes. I believe that Miroku has a lot more to learn than Kagoma."Keada said in aggrement.
"Where did he go? I know he went this way." Kagoma was walkingin the forest. She has been walking in the froest for about ten minutes looking forhim, and when she thought that she saw him, he just vanished."Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Whereare you1? If you do not get over here.." Kagoma was cut off by a certain hanyou jumping in front of her. "Inuyasha! Don't scare me like that. Kami, my heart is beating fast."
"It's not my fault that you scare easily. And what are you doing out here without your bow and arrows. Do you want another demon comingafter you like before? I swear wench, you have a death wish or something?" Inuyasha didn't noticed that Kagoma was about to cry until it was to late. He smelther tears and he immediatly felt like an ass for saying those things when she almost died because he wasn't there to protect her. "Don't cry Kagoma. I hate it when you cry." He said in a soft tone.
"I'm sorry that you feel thatI'm a berdain.I just thought that we could talk about what happened today and why you don't wantme totrain to get stronger.I don't always want to depend on you to protect to. I don't want you toget injuried becauseI was too weak to defend myself from a demon. I just want to do something that could make a contrabutution to the group other than detecting the jewel shards."Kagoma was sobbinguncontrolly now. She was holdingherself to try to stop herself from shaking. "I know I always worry you, expecially when I passed out in that field. But I just want to know that I can actually take care of myself and thatI don't always have to have somebody watch over me all the time. I want to make you proud of me." Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore and drew Kagoma in a tight hug. At first she was tense, but soon she melted intoInuyasha's arms while he brushed her hair with his hand.
"Kagoma, I am proud of you. I'm just worried that you're going to push yourself trying to control this strange power of yours. I don't want to see you likeI did when I saw youlaying in that field. You were so pale and fragile, not like the usually bright clumsy self." Inuyasha said in a little laugh.Kagoma also took some time from her crying to laugh atwhat he said. That made Inuyasha feela little better that she was laughing. He could also tell that she wasn't crying as much. Her tears weren't smelling as strong asthey wereonly a moment ago. "Kagoma, I care so much for you, I just don't want anything to happen to you. Anyways, you will alwayshave me to protect you as long as there is breath in me." While he said this, he pulled away from Kagoma enough to look at her face. Her eyes where puffy and red, there where red streaks down her facefrom the tears, and she was sniffaling, but shelooked so cute to Inuyasha. He took the hand that was in her hair andwiped away thetears that were still on her face. "Feeling better now?" Kagoma wassuprised by his gentleness and him openness with her, she could only nod. They stood there for a while, just gazing at each other until Kagoma broke the silence.
"Inuyasha?"
"What is it wench?"
"Earlier, when we were alone in the hut ... what was with the kiss that you gave me?" Kagoma was blushing with the remembrence of the kiss and Inuyasha holding her so close.
"Umm..." Inuyasha was not expecting her to ask him about it. He was also blushing and had to wait awhile before he could think of anything to say that wouldn't get him an immediate 'sit'. "I really don;t know. I'm... um... sorry if I forced myself on you.. I just couldn't help..." Inuyasha was cut off by Kagoma's lips pressed against his. At first he was suprised by her bluntness, but soon kissing back. He deepened the kiss by licking Kagoma's mouth for entrance. That was granted eagerly and caused a moan to excape. This caused Inuyasha's senses to go crazy and he brought Kagoma closer to him to get a better taste of her. This time it was Inuyasha who let outgrowl in pleasure.They both broke the kiss for some much needed air.
"I think this kiss was better than the first." Inuyasha could give her a goffy grin. Kagoma had to laugh at that stupid grin that he had and buried it in his shirt.
"What is so funny wench?" Inuyasha was beirly able to keep himself from laughing as well.
"It's you and that stupid grin you had." She was barely able to getit out between the fits of laughter and being muffled against his shirt. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh with her. When they both stopped laughing they looked into each other's eyes. Inuyasha leaned in and kissed her again. This one wasn't as fierce asthe last one, but it held the same kind of passion as before. They could of stayedlike that a bet longerbut a voice interupted them.
"Hey, mutt face. Get off of my woman." Kagoma and Inuyasha broke apart to see Koga standing of to their right. Inuyasha cursed under his breath for not smelling the wolf earlier while stepping in front of Kagoma.
Inuyasha's POV
Damn, how could of overlooked that sent.
Dah, that's because I was only letting Kagoma's sent in. I should of bin paying more attention, but try doing that with Kagoma's soft lips on mine and her sweat sent all around you.
I will definally have to get some control over my sences when I'm kissing Kagoma.
Phew. fat chance!
End of POV
Kagoma's POV
I can't believe that I didn't sense Koga's jewel shards coming towards us. It seems that Inuyasha didn't smell him eather. I guest we were both distracted with each other.
Well, I guest that is my fault, I did distract him the first time with the kiss I gave him. Also, I'm the one who detects Koga first because of the jewel shards before Inuyasha can even smell him.
I guest thatit's one way to let Koga know that I'm not 'his woman'. Hopefully!
End of POV
"Kagoma is not your woman. If she was, don'tyou think that you would be the one kissing her instead of me wolf shit?"
"You forced yourself on her. That is the only way a woman like Kagoma would kiss a worthless half-bread like you Inuyasha!" Koga said with a smug smirk on his face. It was quickly gone by what happened next. Kagoma's hand was glowing with a bright, pink light that was usually around her arrows. Her hand was pointed at him and Kagoma's eyes were different. They were the usual brown eyes that one could get lost in, they were the same color as her hand.
"Don't you ever say that about my Inuyasha again. He is more of a man than you will ever be and has more common sence than you. I don't belong to you Koga, I never did and never will. And if you ever call Inuyasha out of his name again, I'll do Noraku and the rest of us a favor and destroy you were you stand. Do I make myself clear." Her voice didn't sound the same. It was devoid of any emotion, almost like Sessomaru's.(not sure about the spelling) For the few time in his life, Koga was afrain. He never saw Kagoma like this, or anybody like this in the first place.
"Got itKa-Kagoma. I'll back off." His voice had a little defeat in it. He never thought that he would lose anything, especially Kagoma, to that mutt Inuyasha. But he had afeeling that he better respect Kagoma's choise, her power had grown and it would be a bad idea to get on her bad side. Kagomahadput her and to her side and the glowing had subsided. Inuyasha was smirking by her side.I can't believe that she did that. She said 'my Inuyasha.' Whendid she get so possesive. It is very hot! Inuyasha wasn't even consurned that she had summened hernew powers.
"You heard her Koga, she's not yours. Now get the hell out of here before I make you."
"Don't get too conceeded Inuyasha! Kagoma may have some new tricks up her sleaves, but that doesn't mean that you could beat me. You better take care of her orI'll cut yourguts out."
"I'll like to see you try. The only reason you are so fast is because of those jewel shards in your legs. Maybe I shouldreleave you of those shards." Kagoma was rolling her eyes. Those two could always act like little children.Shecouldn't believe that she said all those things aboutInuyasha.
Kagoma's POV
Once again Inuyasha does something to make me rethink what I said about him.
The thing that I can't understand is how I was able to controll my powers like that. Maybe it's trigured by my emotions.
Correct Kagoma. You got what your powers come from.
Guide?1 Don't surprise me like that! Anyways, I thought you could only talk to me when I was asleep?
No. I can talk to you whenever I please. But back to more important issues. You are right about your powers beingmainly controlled about your emotions. The other part is your will that you want to imforce. Whatever you want to do, read somebodies mind, protect somebody, move something without even touchingit, and so much more. It will all depend on your emotions and what you want to do withyour powers. I couldn't tellyou this untill you found out how your powers work. And since you have,your mefitation with the monk will help you controll your emotions while your trainingwith the demon slayer will help you withyour physical training.
I'm not even going to ask how you know about my training. I have a feeling that you're the reason why I asked Miroku and Songo for help. What I do need to know is why I do need physical training?
You need the training to keep your body strong enough to handle you power. Also it may come in handy to know how to actually fight. Your powers and instincts will make your fight training more manageable. Follow your instincts and powers, but also think about what your about to do. You don't want to be another killing machine that nobody will be able to stop.
No, i guest i better get back to the village to get some rest for my training. It is beyond sundown and I.m not in the mood to listen to these two little boys fight. They could be so childish sometimes. Shippo has more maturity than these two most of the time.
I know dear. Remember, I'm a part of you andI share most of your sentaments and thoughts. Now go, I believe those two will be two involved in each other to notice your gone. That should teach them to not get too involved in atgueing with each other to not pay attention to their surroundings.
END OF POV
Kagoma smiled at this. Her guide was right. Inuyasha and Koga were stillargueing with each other tonotice that she had grown silent. Usually she would of ended this arguemant an hour ago. Kagoma had started walking back toward the village.Inuyasha and Koga hadn't even noticed that she was gone. When Kagoma was far enough away from them, she raised herhand in theair once again. This timeit wasn't for fighting perposes, it was for light. She smiled at herself in self accomplishment. I thinkI'm starting to get the hang of this. When she reached the eage of the village without any intervention from a demon or the two fighting children, she lowered her hand and turned off the light thatwas coming from her hand. The lamps fromthe houses guided her way to the village. Miroku,Shippo, and Miroku spotted her and ran to her.
"Kagoma!" an excited Shippo said while hurling himself into Kagoma. Kagoma had alreadprepared herself for this and only went back a step. "We were starting to get worried when you and Inuyasha didn't come back. What happened, and why do you have Inuyasha's sent all over you?"
"Me and Inuyasha talked about a lot of things and you know not to worry too much whenI'm with Inuyasha. And Miroku, it is not what you think with Inuyasha's sent all over me so you can wipe that smirk off of your face. Wewere just kissing. Anyway, Koga showed upand saw us and they started argueing. They have been shouting at each otherfor over a hour now. I got sick of them acting so juevinile, so I came back here without eathier one of thim noticing my departure."
"Wait, Koga showed up and started argueing with Inuyasha, and you just left them like that. What if they start fighting and trying to kill each other. Kagoma, that'snot like you to just leave them there." Songo said in displeaf.
"Don't worry Songo. I have a feeling that they won't fight. Anyways, they'll soon realise that I'm gone."Right after that, they all heard 'KAGOMA!' come from the forest. "Told you. When they get back, tell them thatI turned in early so I can be rested for tomorrow's training. Could you also say... never mind,I'll tell them in the morning.Just make sure they don't disturb me." With that she put Shippo down and went in Keada's hut to sleep. Shortly afterwards Inuyashaand Koga came running up.
"Were is that wench! She knows better than to go off in the woods by herself." Inuyasha said very irritablly. He and Koga had noticed that Kagoma had been silent for a long time. When they turned around,they saw that she was gone. They both cursed and rushedback towards the village were her sent had lead them.
"Calm down you two. Kagoma got here safelywithout any help from you two."
"What was that run!"
"Inuyasha, Shippoonly meant that Kagoma got here without a scrape on her. She was even using her powers to helpguide her through the forest so she wouldn't trip. She also said that she was going to turn in early for our training in the morning." Miroku said to Inuyasha before he would hit Shippo on the head.
"She also said that she didn't want to be disturbed. So could you two please keep your voices down. Anyway, it's your fault for Kagoma leaving without telling you. She said that you two were argueing like little children and weren't paying attantion to her. So she came back here to get some rest and some peace from the two of you. So next time, could you two act your own age." Songo was angry that Kagoma had to come back alone when she had been attacked only this morning. She turned around and headed towards Keade's hut. She was also going to bed early. Shippo followed her without a word to Koga and Inuyasha. Miroku was the only one to say something.
"I hope that you two have a nice sleep tonight." With that he also left to turn in. He had a feeling that tommorow was going to be a long day for more than one reason. That left only Koga and Inuyasha outside. They both went into the hut in complete silence. Kagoma was already asleep with Shippo in her sleeping bag. Songo and Miroku were just lying down to go to sleep. Kouga and Inuyasha took one side of the doorframe to sleep apon. With that, it was the end toa very interesting day.
I hope that you all liked this chapter. I'm not going to post anymore unless I get some feedback on this story. I need to know if people are liking this or not.
