Chapter 10:
New Powers For Inuyasha, And A Break For Kagome
The next two weeks went quickly for Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha spent a long time teaching Kagome how use her weapons, Sango occasionally came and helped, so did Miroku and Shippo. She learned a lot in those two weeks.
"I hate to say this this, but...," Inuyasha said.
"Yes go on?" Kagome urged.
"You should go back to your time for a while," Inuyasha said, "Your family and friends are probably very worried about you".
"Yeah, you're right," Kagome answered, "I'll go tomorrow morning. Let's just get some sleep".
Kagome and Inuyasha slept were they had often slept. Right on a branch of the Goshinboku, sleeping together.
They had awoken and they both went to Keade's village. They went to tell the others that they were going to go to Kagome's era for a while, and after that they would finally be able to go back onto their quest.
"Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Keade, good morning," Kagome said.
"Good Morning," Came their reply.
"Kagome and myself are going to her era for a while," Inuyasha said, "After that were going to continue our quest".
"About time," Sango said, "It's getting boring here just helping the villagers with their tasks".
"Inuyasha, can I ask you to stay in our era for a little bit," Keade asked.
"What for," Inuyasha asked.
"I've discovered something about your past," Keade answered.
"Why would I care about the past?" Inuyasha replied.
"It could make you more powerful," Keade answered.
"Okay," Inuyasha said, "What is it?"
"Your mother was a priestess," Keade answered, "And, I think some of that power has been, transferred to you when you were born".
"Then, why can't I use, any powers?" Inuyasha asked, "I don't remember showing any signs of having spiritual powers".
"You weren't trained to use your powers," Keade answered, "I believe that your mother was a very powerful priestess, And some power was transferred. But I don't think that your spiritual powers are anywhere near as hers was. They probably weren't strong enough to overtake your demon instincts".
"Bullshit," Inuyasha replied.
"Stay here and I'll prove it," Keade said.
"Kagome, you can go ahead," Inuyasha said.
"Sure," Kagome said, "See yeah later".
"See yeah," Inuyasha replied.
Kagome walked towards the well and left to her era.
"Show me!" Inuyasha demanded.
"Let's go to a more open area," Keade said.
"What specifically are you going to teach me?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm going to show you how to transfer your spiritual powers to your sword," Keade answered, "Kind of like Kagome's arrows".
"A purification sword," Inuyasha said, "It might be worth it".
"It might be the only thing that can defeat Naraku," Keade said, "To purify him".
"Then only one who can purify him is Kagome," Inuyasha contemplated, "The final battle will be very harsh! Definitely will be at least two new reincarnations of his, I don't think we can or should put such a focus on one person".
"That's why I want to show you how to use some of your spiritual powers," Keade replied.
"Then let's get started," Inuyasha said.
"First," Keade said.
With Kagome.
"Hi mom!" Kagome yelled, "I'm home!"
"Welcome back Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi said, "Are you going to go to school today? From what I hear, there is no tests soon".
"Really," Kagome said, "No tests?"
"Yep," Mrs Higurashi said.
"Nice," Kagome said, "Yeah, I'm going to go to school".
"You better go now," Mrs. Higurashi replied, " And hide those ears".
"Ohh yeah," Kagome answered. She grabbed her necklace and put it on. "See yeah later".
"See yeah," Mrs. Higurashi answered.
Kagome walked down the steps at the shrine and headed to school. She walked the route to school that she always took. Well before she was dragged down the well. It wasn't long before she had caught up to Eri, Ayumi, and Yuki.
"Hey Kagome," Eri said.
"You're looking well," Yuki said.
"Yeah," Ayumi said, "Like nothing has happened to you!"
"Ahh, yeah," Kagome said nervously, "Anyways, How are you?"
"Good," Eri said.
"Could be better," Ayumi said, "But good".
"Same as the other two," Yuki said.
"That's good to hear," Kagome said.
They walked to school, talking the entire way there. It didn't seem to long to them to get to school, but they were a little late for the first class. But that seemed to matter little to them. They hadn't had a talk like that for a long time, and Inuyasha wasn't mentioned in any shape or form. Kagome went to her classes, and she didn't seem to be struggling with everything anywhere as much. At lunch they continued their conversation, they hurt Kagome's every once and a while, but they kept from squealing to much. The rest of their classes went slow. The anticipated the conversation after school a little to much. But it inevitably passed. They inevitably decided to go to Wacdonalds.
"So have you three done as of late?" Kagome asked.
"Actually," Eri said, "When we don't have any homework, or studying. We've been at an archery range, taking lessons".
"Really," Kagome said, "All of you?"
"Yep," Yuki answered.
"Yes," Ayumi said, "We all went in together".
"You can come with us if you want?" Eri asked.
"Sure," Kagome answered.
"We'd better get going then," Yuki said.
"Yep," Eri said.
"Who was that person in the red clothes," Ayumi asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Kagome replied.
"Was he 'Mr Possessive'?" Eri asked.
"He seemed very depressed when we all thought you were dead," Yuki said, "He was worse than anyone else!"
Kagome was speechless about what Yuki just said. She felt proud of Inuyasha, any doubt that Inuyasha was just doing that to be a jewel detector in his eyes were completely removed!
"Earth to Kagome?" Yuki said.
"Huh?" Kagome said a little confused.
"You zoned out on us," Eri said, "We're here".
"Sorry," Kagome apologized.
They went into archery range, and practiced. Kagome took a look at their targets, they were somewhat accurate. But considering that Kagome had a lot more practise. She also noticed that they had to spend more time drawing an arrow and firing. Kagome was firing three when they only fired one. After a while decided it was enough for a day. And they left for home.
A week had passed. Inuyasha was struggling with his new powers, but had some control over them. He did learn how to combine the powers of the Tetseiga, and his spiritual powers. Kagome had spent the week relaxing with Eri, Yuki, and Ayumi. She actually caught up with her homework, and everything school related. And actually understood. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo did what they've been doing for such a long time, they helping the villagers.
(A/N): Anyone want to join my C2 Community? I reject none! I'm giving an explanation before a question rises about Kagome actually doing good in school. I believe that when she turned half demon, it was more than just physical, I think everything would be changed. As for Inuyasha acting so naive, he choose that route, because of his harsh past.
