Chapter Four
"Have you found her yet?" a tall figure demanded.
"No, sir, we have not."
"Well hurry it up! We don't have much time left!"
"Yes, sir."
"Where could you be?" he wondered. "Where could you be?"
"We'll find her," another figure said from the shadows.
"How do you know?"
"We will. We have to."
"Yes, you're right," the first figure said. "We have to find her before the others do."
With X-Men
"KAGOME!" somebody shouted, as he too, jumped through the already broken windows.
"Who are you!" Jamie demanded as he stood in front of Kagome.
The figure stood up, his blue eyes taking in the damages done on Kagome, and we he noticed the blood around her, he growled. "What have you done to her!" he growled.
"What do you mean!" Jamie shouted, not wanting to admit what he had did.
"Back away from her!" the man exclaimed before shaking the glass off of his suit like an animal.
"Kouga!" Shippo shouted as he tugged on his sleeve. "Ya hafta help! Ya just hafta help!"
"What's wrong with her?" he asked impatiently, ignoring the X-Men.
"I don't know! It's like she won't wake up! Get her to wake up Kouga! Please!" Shippou shouted. "She can't leave me! She promised!"
"Calm down!" Kouga shouted.
"I can't!" Shippou wailed before scampering back to Kagome once again, trying to get her to notice him.
"If I may suggest something," Professor Xavior suggested calmly.
"What?" Kouga asked.
"Myself or Jean could... possibly go into her mind and br-"
"No!" Kouga refused immediantly. "How am i supposed to trust you when you're the ones who did this to her!"
"What other choice do you have?" Professor Xavior demanded. "Answer that!"
Kouga didn't answer, but he glared at the Professor. "I want you to go in. Just you. If you do something to harm her, everybody here dies. Understood?"
"Clear." Professor Xavior said before he put his hands to his temple.
In Kagome's Mind
'This is odd,' Professor Xavior thought as he looked around. Kagome's whole mind was covered in shadows. There was no light. No sound. Just darkness. A small giggle could be heard, and Professor Xavior quickly turned towards it. It was a young girl... a really young girl. She seemed to be about the age of 4, maybe 5. He couldn't tell. But the thing was, she looked like Kagome. The girl giggled again, and motioned for him to follow her. "Wh-" Professor Xavior started to ask, but the girl already took off, and Professor Xavior quickly wheeled his chair after her. Each time Xavior was too far to see the girl, she would always stop and keep pushing him. 'What is with this?' he thought as they kept going, still seeing nothing but darkness.
Suddenly, they came to a stop. "What is it?" he asked.
"Look," the girl whispered as she pointed downwards.
"At what?" Xavior asked, but the girl was gone. Looking down, he saw a puddle of aboslute clear water. "What is it supposed to do?" he wondered outloud but was silenced as the water began to ripple.
In the water was him... but he could walk! 'What was this thing?'
"It's a portal to show us what Kagome wishes to make reality." a young voice stated.
Professor Xavior looked up to see a young girl about 15. She wore a short green skirt, and a white shirt, with a red tie.
"What do you mean?"
"What she wishes to make come true, we can see it through here."
"But how can she do that?"
"You'll understand. As soon as she understands us, it will be too late."
"Aren't you a part of her?" Xavior asked.
"Was... we were all a part of her, but now..." the girl said.
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. You don't need to know. Not until she trusts you. Then you can come back and visit!" the girl said excitingly before becoming solem once more.
"But why show this to me?"
"So you can try to get her to open up. Get her to trust you, and then things you never thought possible can come true."
"I still don't understand," Xavior said.
"You will in time. Now come," the girl said as she started walking away.
"Where are we going?"
"There is more for you to see," the girl said.
"But that's not why i'm here."
"Does it matter?" the girl asked before she lead him to a hallway filled with several doors.
"What is this?" Xaavior asked.
"Choose a door. You have many questions of Kagome, and i will allow you to open one of these doors. Just one. It might help you in the near future, it might not. It might be something useful, it might be useless."
"What do you mean?"
"There a hundereds, even millions of doors here," the girl said. "Each door contains a certain thing. Sometimes, it's not even a door, but a drawer, or a box. Everything in here contains a piece of memory, a word, favorite thing, anything about her. Choose one."
The Professor looked at the girl doubtfully, but sighed and moved through the hallway. Each door was different, each object was different. There was even a door that was swaying slightly.
However, the Professor kept going farther, and time just seemed to pass by. He just kept going, until he stopped at a small, plain, white drawer. It was small, at least big enough to fit half a brick. Carefully, he opened the drawer, and was confused by what he saw. Detective. That's it. One small word. Light and Dark. 'What does that mean?' he thought before he was pulled back and was next to the girl once more.
"Interesting," she whispered.
"What is?" Xavior asked, but she was gone. "Great! Now what?" he wondered outloud.
"You can follow me," a dreary, broken voice said.
Xavior turned around to see another version of Kagome... but this didn't look at all like the Professor Kagome that he was used to seeing. This girl... was obviously broken.
"What happened to you?"
"It doesn't matter," she said, her voice dull. "Just follow me."
"To where?" he asked as he followed her.
"To the place you've been trying to go to." she stated before she disappeared.
"Wait!" he shouted, but it was too late. "Hello?" Xavior asked, as he rolled his wheelchair forward a little and gasped at what he saw.
Kagome was sitting on the floor, bleeding. "Hey, Kagome. Get up!" Xavior shouted as he nudged her shoulder. But she didn't move. She kept mouthing words, over and over.
"Kagome, what is it?" He heard a whisper, but couldn't make out the voice. "What is it Kagome?"
"I... alo... we...am...orth...us..."
"What?" Xavior asked.
"I a... alo...a...wea...am... orthl... i... usel..."
"You're not making any sense," Xavior said softly, as he nudged her again.
"I am alone... I'm weak... i am... worthless... i am... useless..." she said.
"No, Kagome. You're not. You have friends..."
"No... i am weak..." Kagome whispered as she started to shudder and lower her head.
"You have Shippou!" Xavior exclaimed.
"Shippou?" she asked.
"Yes... shippou!" Xavior said.
"I did promise..." she whispered, as she shivered more violently.
"Kouga is there!"
"Doesn't...care..."
"You have Unknown Kagome. You have Unknown."
"H... me... ot... Unknown..." She said.
"What?"
"Hi... n..me... not... Unkown."
"What?"
"His... name is not... Unknown.." Kagome said forcefully.
"What do you mean?"
"His name... is Gerone." she whispered with some force.
Suddenly, Xavior had an idea. 'She reacted strongly to Unknown... maybe...'
"What do you mean? His name is not Gerone. It's Unknown."
"No." Kagome said with force as she slowly stopped shuddering. "Not Unknown."
"Kagome, you're delusional. His name is Unknown."
"No." Kagome said. "He is known... is Gerone."
"Kagome, you've got it all wrong." Xavior said. "His name is Unknown.
"No... no..." Kagome kept saying softly.
"Of course his name is Unknown. WHat other name would he have?" Xavior asked.
"NO!" Kagome shouted. "His name is Gerone!" She stood up and was prepaired to hit Xavior before she noticed him. "What are you doing in here?" she demanded as she adjusted her sunglasses.
'Odd, even in her mind, she wears those.' "Glad to have you back," Xavior said.
"What do you mean?"
"You went into a state of shock, kept thinking you were weak.. but now you're back."
"Yeah, well it's good to be back."
"That's great Kagome." Xavior said. "But how do i get out of here?"
"Oh, here." Kagome said as she aimed a punch at Xavior's head.
"What are you do-" Xavior started to say, but Kagome punched him.
Xavior gasped as he looked around, and noticed that he was out of Kagome's mind.
"Charles!" Ororo exclaimed when she noticed he was awake.
"Kagome!" Shippou shouted as he noticed that Kagome was up.
"Shippou? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
"Kagome! Good to see that my woman is awake!" Kouga exclaimed.
"I'm not your woman!" Kagome shouted.
"I'm just kidding!" Kouga said.
"Wait... you remember?" Kagome asked.
"You're right. We do. Speaking about that..." Kouga started.
"Oh, well look at the time! I better go!" Kagome shouted as she ran out of the Mansion and into the woods.
Kouga was about to go after her, but Jean shouted, "NOT SO FAST!"
"What?"
"You and your wolves helped make this mess, so you better all help clean it up."
"WHAT!" Kouga shouted.
"Jean," Kitty whispered.
"Don't what me!"
"Jean!" Kitty cried. "Do you know what that is?"
"No, i don't Kitty. And i don't care!"
"That's Kouga Ookami."
"Your'e kidding." Jean said.
"Now, may i go?" Kouga asked.
"Forget about it." Xavior said.
"Why?"
"She'll be back."
Later On in Time
Kagome sensed the entrance to the house, and noticed that nobody was in there. Slowly, she crept in, only to be jumped on. "GOTCHA!" Kouga shouted as he sat on her back. "Now, promise to not runaway." Kouga said.
"Fine! Just get off of me!" Kagome shouted, before Kouga got off.
"Now, as i was saying before... Speaking about that..." Kouga started.
Kagome prepared herself for the explosion. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE US ALL FORGET! AND TO MAKE THE WISH IN THAT CONDITION! WHY I WAS NE-"
Kagome slapped her hand on Kouga's mouth. "Kouga! Shut up!"
Kouga pushed her hands away from his mouth. "DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP! I WAS NEVER SO MAD IN MY LIFE AS THAT! YOU ALMOST DIED! AND YOU MADE US ALL GO ON LIVING LIKE TH-"
Kagome covered his mouth once more, but Kouga ripped it off. "STOP THAT! i CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T CONSULT US BEFORE MAKING THE STUPID WISH! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE LIVING LIKE THAT! HUH? DO YOU? OF COURSE YOU DON'T! CAUSE YOU WEREN'T LIVING IT! IF IT WASN'T FOR SH-"
"All right!" Kagome exclaimed as she covered Kouga's mouth. "i get it! You're mad at me... but what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be living in Makai?"
"What's Makai?" Jean asked.
"Uh.. it's nothing!" Kagome said as she took her hand of Kouga's mouth. "Kagome!" Jamie shouted as he bounded down the stairs and into Kagome's arms.
"Jamie?" Kagome asked.
"I'm sorry!" Jamie cried.
"It's okay," Kagome soothed Jamie, as Shippou came down the stairs and snuggled into Kagome's embrace as well and started to cry. "It's all right."
"Why d'ya leave me?" Shippou asked.
"I didn't," Kagome said as she continued to soothe the two boys. "Now that this is hopefully cleared up, you two ready to continue training?"
"Aww... Kagome!" the two boys whined. "Do you have to?"
"Yes, now come on!" Kagome exclaimed as she dragged the two boys out.
With Professor Xavior
Professor Xavior frowned as he thought of what he had gained within Kagome's mind. Light and Dark... what does that mean? What did that have to do with Kagome? And why did that girl say that they were a part of Kagome? Did that have any significance? Why was her mind like that in the first place? Was it always like that, or did something happen to change it? And how does Kagome know the CEO of Ookami Industries? How does Unknown know Kagome?
"Charles," Ororo said.
"Yes?"
"IT's time for dinner."
With Koenma
"Koenma sir!" George shouted.
"What?"
"We found her!"
"Where is she!"
"Somewhere in the U.S."
"We need more information! Keep looking!"
"yes, sir!" George said as she left.
'What could she be doing there?' Koenma thought.
Elsewhere
"Have you found the Balance itself yet?"
"No, Master."
"Hurry it up!"
"Yes, Master"
With the X-Men
"All right, who's first?" Jean asked the group. Nobody answered. "All right, then I'll just choose... Let's go with Kurt... and Jamie."
"What?" Jamie asked nervously. "Me! In the training room... at that level!"
"Yes, you Jamie."
"Are you trying to KILL ME! Last time I tried, I couldn't even do level 2! And you want me to go to level 5!"
"Just try Jamie. Logan's been noticing your improvement."
"I don't know..." Jamie said.
"You can do it," Kagome said from the back.
Jamie nodded and said, "All right."
With Kurt and others
"Hey, uh... Kurt?"
"Yes?" Kurt asked as he positioned himself in the middle of the room.
"Is this going to be hard?"
"Don't know." Kurt said.
"Wha-"
"And begin." Jean's voice rang through.
"What! No-" Jamie started saying before a metal hand came out and moved towards him. "YIKES!" he shouted as he ran forward, only to have another metal claw come up in front of him.
With Kagome
"Come on, Jamie," Kagome whispered as she sensed his movements. "Concentrate."
"Did you say something Kagome?" Kitty asked.
"No."
With Jamie
"AH!" Jamie shouted as a steel wall shot up right in front of him. "I'm not gonna live after this!" he shouted as he ran away from the metal ball that came rolling down.
Jamie shut his eyes as he came to a dead end, only to have Kurt transport him out of there. "Thanks kurt!" Jamie said.
"Concentrate!" Kurt shouted before he disappeared once more and a metal tank came up.
With Kagome
"Jamie," Kagome whispered angrily. "What are doing?"
"Jamie's not doing to well," Scott said.
"Do you think we should pull him out?" Jean asked.
"I think so," Rogue said.
"All right, give me a sec-" Jean started to say.
"NO." Kagome said.
"What?"
"No. Let him keep going."
"But-"
"NO buts."
With Jamie
Okay, Jamie thought. Now what did Kagome tell me? Jamie ran away from another claw before sliding underneath a metal wall that was just coming downwars. 'That's it! Forget about eyesight...' Jamie thought as he stood there. 'Concentrate on your inner senses,' he thought as a metal ball was coming downwards behind him.
With Kagome
"What is he doing!" Scott shouted. "Quick! Pull him out!"
"No." Kagome said.
"Are you insa-"
"Watch." Kagome insisted.
With Jamie
'There!' Jamie thought as he sense a metal ball coming from behind. 'Wait for it... wait for it...' he thought before he ran towards the metal wall and the side wall using the two to climb up and flip backwards, behind the metal ball.
With Kagome
"How did he-" Kitty said.
'Good job,' Kagome thought as she smirked.
"Good job guys," Jean's voice rang though the training room. "All right, come back up. And Kitty and Boom Boom, go on in."
Later On
Each member of the X-Men went into the room in either pairs or by themselves. Until Logan finished. "All right! That's it. Let's go."
"Wait, don't I get to try?" Kagome asked.
"No. I'm afraid not. You'll surely be killed." Jean said.
"Ha!" Scott exclaimed. "You? In there? Don't make me laugh! You'll never make it out alive!"
"But I-"
"No, Kagome." Ororo said. "It's too dangerous."
"Yeah, bu-"
"Take it from me kid, but you're no mutant. You won't be able to survive it!" Logan said.
Nobody said anything, not even Shippou. 'And i was the one who taught him,' Kagome thought sadly.
Kagome didn't say anything. Instead, she looked towards everybody's aura carefully. Even Kouga was there, and they let him try! 'But then again, he told them he was part wolf.'
With a sigh, she whispered, "I should've known."
"Did you say something?" Xavior asked.
"No," Kagome said as she walked past them, head held high. While inside, she knew they thought she was weak. "I'll be outside if you need me." she said.
With the X-Men
"What was with her?" Rogue asked as they entered the kitchen.
"I know what you mean," Kitty said. "I mean, does she want to get killed?"
"What do you think of this Charles?" Ororo asked.
'Get her to trust you, and then things you never thought possible can come true... What did they mean?' Xavior thought.
"Charles?"
'As soon as she understands us, it will be too late, what did that mean?'
"Chalres?" Ororo asked once more.
"I think... that we should have given her the chance." Charles finally said. 'If we need her to trust us, we need to trust her first...'
"What! Are you insane!" Kitty asked.
"Listen!" Charles said firmly. "Things are not what they seem. We need her to trust us..."
"Why do we need the trust of a human?" Scott asked.
"Things we never thought possible can come true if we trust her, and she trusts us." Charles said.
"But-"
"End of discussion. Now, if you'll leave me alone, i have some things to do," Professor Xavior said as he rolled himself out of the house and towards the forest, where he sensed Kagome's presence.
Shippou looked at Kouga carefully, before Kouga nodded and left.
With Kagome
Kagome sighed, as she took off her sunglasses and wiped the tears off of her eyes. It wasn't fair, she thought. She trained hard for four years, she survived Naraku, she defeated Naraku, she could fight even though she was blind. Why did everybody doubt her? Was she really that weak?
A branch snapped in half causing Kagome to quickly put on her sunglasses and look towards the sound.
"Hello Professor Xavior,"she mummbled.
"Hello Kagome."
"Was there something you wanted?" she asked.
"I wanted... to apoligize."
"For what?" Kagome asked, curious.
"We should have given you the chance. I'm sorry."
"It's all right," Kagome said. "I get it a lot. Don't worry about it."
Neither of them said anything for a while.
"You weren't always... crippled, were you." Kagome stated.
"No, i'm not." Xavior said.
"Do you ever want to walk again?" Kagome asked.
"Every moment of my life," Xavior admitted.
"I can make it come true." Kagome whispered.
"Could you really?" Xavior asked dully. "Could you really? Or would you just get my hopes up for nothing."
"I can really," she whispered. "But I need you trust, like you have mine."
"Do you really trust us. Mutants?"
"Not all of you... in fact... i only trust you. I know i can trust you." Kagome said as she smiled at him. "But the real question, is would you trust me? A human you hardly know about?"
"I think i can," Xavior said after a moment of silence. "And we could get to understand each other... if you're willing to be my friend."
"I'd like that," Kagome said, neither of them noticing the crimson red eyes glaring at the pair.
With Koenma
"Koenma!" George shouted. "I've found her!"
"Really? Where is she?"
"At the Xavior Institute!" George shouted.
"Botan!"
"Yes sir?"
"Get the spirit detectives there to the Xavior Institute and fill them in."
"Yes sir!" Botan said as she disappeared through a portal.
'What are you doing?' Koenma wondered.
Elsewhere
"Master," a feminine voice said.
"What is it?"
"We're getting closer. We almost found her."
"Good..."
Somewhere Else with otherpeople
"Is she there?" the tall figure asked.
"Yeah, that's her." the second figure spat out.
"Something bothering you? You're eyes are red."
"Doesn't matter. It will bother you as soon as you see her."
"Don't worry. We will. Let's get going. Gather everybody and we'll get going."
"You're kidding me!" the second figure exclaimed.
"No. I'm not. I want everybody to go."
"Feh." the second figure said as he left.
'Soon,' the first figure thought. 'Very soon.'
