Chapter 4- Explanations part 2
Just as planned her brother had dropped her off at the clinic and took the car with him to his date. That night Kagome had to examine another member of the member of the Takahashi family. However this time she was going to see a Mr. Soma. He was the father of the second richest family in all of Japan and Tokyo. Once she had the folder of in her hands and covering her face Kagome walked in and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting Mr. Soma. Now, what are you in for today?"
When she got no answer Kagome kept her eyes on his medical background and began to realize that he was here just for a routine check up. It stated that he wished to be tested for any dieses that could be found in Hong Kong. After closing the folder of Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "Well I'm sorry sir but I will have to give you to different shots that will fight off any infections that you may already have until we are sure that you are alright."
"That's fine with me…as long as I get candy." A very deep but familiar voice was heard.
'It can't be…'Kagome thought as she looked up to face the man. The moment she locked eyes with him she dropped the folder and took a step back. As her eyes began to let out tears Kagome took in a deep breath and closed her eyes as her venison got bury before she whispered, "Shippo?"
"Yeah, it's me…Oka." Shippo answered as he stood up.
Kagome stared at the tall fox demon before her. He had the same short orange hair and the same green eyes. However, his eyes were not filled with bitterness and pain instead of the joy and kindness he use to have. 'Shippo…oh god Shippo what have I done.' Kagome thought as she fell to her knees in tears. Before he even got a chance to reach her, Shippo heard Kagome say, "Oh god, Shippo I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you…I'm sorry for causing the bitterness and pain that are in your eyes now." as she covered her face with her hands.
Not liking the way it had turned out, Shippo pulled Kagome into his arms and held her. 'I remember, the warm feeling I would get when she would hold me.' He couldn't help but think as he began to rock her. Once her sobs had died down Shippo held her tight and said, "It's alright Oka…I'm alright. Otu and uncle Sesshomaru took great care of me."
"Otu? Do you mean Miroku?" Kagome asked as his words began to ring in her head. 'It can't be…he went with her…he chose her.' She thought.
"Uh…yeah…but right now I really want to make sure that I don't have anything so that my mate doesn't worry." Shippo answered as he helped Kagome back up to her feet.
"Oh, I'm sorry…let me get the things…Shippo…I'm so glad that your alright." Kagome replied before she left the room.
'I hope father or uncle won't get mad…I'm going to have to go for a swim and a change of clothing after this.' Shippo thought as he sat back down on to the chair where he had been in.
After Kagome had given him the shot and gotten the blood she need to have tested she sent Shippo to go wait while she continued her rounds. By the time she was let out Shippo was called back in to be given his results. 'I guess I could stay a little while longer…at least until Shippo is done.' She thought as she quickly made her way to the office. Just as she reached the door Kagome hard Shippo's stressed out voice say, "I know…I'm sorry Otu I just don't like the human doctor you go to…I know that that is what Oka would want but I just don't like it there…fine…I know…I'll be home in a while."
Once he had hung up the phone Shippo turned around to come face to face with a very confused Kagome. In her was a small blue folder that held his results. But before he could ask about them he heard her ask, "How can Miroku still be alive? Is Sango alive…Shippo you have to take me to them." as she began to tear up again.
"No, I'll explain everything to you at dinner. But first I need to find out my results and get back home." Shippo answered as he put his phone away.
"Oh right…sorry…umm you are all fine but if you plan on traveling again you have to come back and get some shots. You immune system is weak for a demon and well you have to rest or have to take some medicine." Kagome answered as she tried to hide her pain.
"Oh, well I guess I'll be staying at home a lot more…Can I take you to dinner tomorrow…please Oka." Shippo asked as he stood up.
"Sure…I know you already know where I live so just give me a call. Here's my cell phone number…call me anytime." Kagome said before she ran out.
But before Shippo had a chance to reach for his mother he felt a sudden guest of wind that had pushed him back from her. 'What's going on? Could Oka…no Oka already has her power…she was the miko that could travel through time. Why would she also be given the power of the dragons.' He thought before he also took his leave.
Once she had ran as far away as she could Kagome began to walk home. It was late at night and she knew that her brother and mother were both sound asleep. 'I don't want to weak them…besides…I could use this time to think.' She thought as she continued to walk home. Just as she was about to turn the corner she was pulled and slammed against a wall.
Just as she was about to yell at whoever it was to let her go she was punched in the stomach and forced to her knees. 'I don't have time for this.' she thought as she tried to get as much air back into her lungs. Just as she had caught all of the air she had lost Kagome looked up to come face to face with a spider demon as he said, "Give me the jewel and we won't have a problem."
"You are sadly mistaken…if you think that I will hand it over." Kagome hissed as she tried to get back up to her feet.
"I said…give me the jewel!" he roared at he lifted his claws to attack.
But before he had the chance to touch her Kagome had once again lost control and purified him without a warning. 'What's happening to me? Why can't I control my miko powers anymore?' she thought sadly as she made her way home. It had been the second time that had happened to her. To be honest she had been surprised when she had not purified her boss. 'I just need some rest…yeah, that's all I need.' She thought as she quickly walked into her house and up to her room to get some sleep.
The next morning Kagome woke up to the sound of her phone going off. Once she had found it she had flipped it open and said, "Hello?"
"Oka? Are you still asleep?" Shippo's voice rang in her ears.
"Oh, Shippo honey…what time is it? You're not here are you?" Kagome ask as she quickly sat up in bed.
"No, I just called to let you know that I would pick you up in an hour. Bring a bathing suit…we're going to the beach." He answered before he hung up.
'Uh…I guess I should get ready.' She thought. Once she had gotten out of bed Kagome had told her mother that she was going out and that she would be back later. Once she was sure that she had everything she need Kagome went outside and was met by Shippo. Once in the car the two began to laugh and catch up.
"Shippo…I'm so glad that you had someone that took care of you." Kagome said as she turned to look out the window. "You have to believe me…I didn't want to leave any of you…but the thought of staying there…with all those memories of him…I just couldn't."
When Shippo didn't say anything, Kagome took that as a sign to stop talking. Once they arrived Kagome was surprised at what she was greeted with. Shippo had brought her to introduce her to his family. Kagome had the chance to meet Shippo's mate and his children. 'I can't believe that he has such a big family.' She thought.
"Otu!" she heard one of his daughter call out.
"Is this grandfathers mate? Is she our grandmother?"
"Yes, everyone this is your grandmother and great grandmother…Kagome…my Oka." Shippo announced.
"Shippo you didn't tell me that you had such a big family." Kagome said as he began to greet everyone.
"Yeah, well you didn't ask." He teased.
"Shippo dear that wasn't every nice. I'm Lilly…Shippo's mate…it is a pleasure to mate you." She stated as she bowed to Kagome.
"It's nice to meet you…but Shippo who did you tell them their grandfather was? I don't have a mate." Kagome answered as she turned to face him.
"Shippo…I'll have the kids leave you two alone." Lilly said before she quickly walked away.
"Oh, you don't have…" Kagome before she was stopped by Shippo's words.
"Ok dear…we'll be inside for dinner in a bit." Shippo answered before he kissed his mate.
Once the two were left alone Shippo turned to stare off into the ocean. Kagome could tell that there was something in him mind that was really upsetting up. Once she couldn't take it anymore Kagome turned to him and said, "I'm sorry…I know that you probably hate me…but it's worth anything…I never stopped thinking about you…about any of you."
Before she could get the chance to walk away, Kagome was pulled into a tight hug as she began to hear Shippo's sobs. When she felt his tears on her arms she knew that he was crying. But what really caught her off guard were the words he spoke. "He never left…Otu had chosen you but you were gone and it was too late…the well had sealed and there was no way he could get to you. I was so scared…"
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha's alive?" Kagome asked as her whole body began to tense up.
"Otu is alive…he's alive and well…Kagome he almost died…he almost killed himself. If wasn't for uncle Otu would have never taught me all he taught me to believe in…I would have never been able to survive on my own." He cried as he held on to her tightly.
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha chose me…he left Kikiyo…" Kagome spoke.
"Yes Oka…he killed her when she tried to force him to go with her after you left." Shippo explained. "He stopped eating and would only fight when the village was attack. We have to take him to uncle before he began to eat and take care of his self again."
"Shippo…take me home…just take me home." Kagome spoke as she began to blank out.
"Oka…Oka what's going on?" a worried Shippo asked as he pulled away only to see his Oka in a daze.
Her eyes were no longer hers; they were the same as when Kohaku was when he had been controlled by Naraku. "Oka…Oka snap out of it." Shippo growled.
"It's not her…the jewel is protection her…it protects her as much as she protects it." A voice was heard.
Shippo looked up and came face to face with Sesshomaru. He was surprised that he was there but knew that it was probably his mate that had called him. Once he had whipped away all of his tears, Shippo stood up with Kagome in his arms and said, "I couldn't help it…I want Oka and Otu to be together again."
"I know…but what you have done will not change the facts…Shippo the miko could very well stay in a coma until she feels the need to wake up. She may keep herself asleep…the jewel will protect and can only protect while she sleeps." Sesshomaru explained. "WE have to get her to her mother."
"Sesshomaru…what do we do now? She knows about father…she will want to see him sooner or later." Shippo replied as he began to follow Sesshomaru.
"Leave your father to me." Was all the demon lord had to say before he had Shippo put the sleeping girl in his car. Once she was in safely, Sesshomaru drove Kagome back to the shrine and left her in her room. Once he was sure that she would wake up soon he left her alone with her family knowing that she would call them once she was ready to face him. Once she was ready to face Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha." Kagome whispered as she began to toss and turn in her sleep.
Little did she know…Kagome would soon come face to face with the very miko and the very person that had made her believe that she was just a shard detector to the hanyou she loved. It would be this night that she would realize that she had all of her soul.
