I don't own InuYasha

The Greatest Power

Chapter 2

The sun shined into the room, leaving small soft beams to land onto the bed. Lying with the bed is a beautiful young woman, with long wavy raven black hair scattered amongst her pillow. There was a slight knock on the door; the young lady slowly opened her eyes to reveal beautiful chocolate brown eyes. The door slowly opens and in pops the head of her hand maiden who asks, "Lady Kagome, are you awake?"

The young Princess Kagome sits up in her bed; around her neck is a small pink jewel. She replies to her hand maiden, "Yes, Rai I am awake. Is Souta awake and feeling any better?"

"Yes, my lady, the young prince is awake and he is feeling a little better. However, Lady Kaede says that he is not well enough to leave his room just yet."

Kagome had a sad yet happy smile on her face. She was glad that her brother was begging to get better. They had just lost their mother and father to a strange illness, and when her brother had come down with the same illness, she prayed everyday for his health to improve.

"Thank you, Rai. You may go now, I shall be out soon." She said as she climbed out of bed. Rai bowed her head and left having finished preparing the bath for her and closed the door. Kagome then proceeded to bathe in the warm, bubbly water. While soaking in the tub Kagome looked down at the jewel around her neck. She was told by her mother and father to never take it off or to give it to anyone. They told her that the jewel had a great power that people would kill for. She never truly understood why.

"This is just a useless jewel. It doesn't hold any mysterious power, and it is so dull looking. No matter how many times I buff it, it never shines. What makes people want it so badly that they are willing to kill for it?"

She finished her bath, drained the water, and went into her room to change. "All well, I will keep my promise to mother and father. I think that I will go see Souta before I do my daily prayers. I think that I will also go to the village today."

She got dressed into a plain green kimono with white trimming and left her room to go see Souta. Once she reached his room she gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." said a small weak little voice. Kagome opened the door and found Souta sitting up in his bed playing with his wooden soldiers that father had given him for his birthday. She smiled at him as he looked up at her.

"Oh, it's you sis."

"How are you feeling Souta?"

"I wish people would stop asking me that. I am fine, except I want to get out of this room." He said with a pout on his face.

"Sorry, we are all just concerned about you." She said with a smile on her face as she looked at the pout on his. He just rolled his eyes.

"Yah, ok. What are you going to do today sis?"

"Well, I was going to go do my prayer session, then I thought that I would go to the village."

"Oh." He said with a sad face, he really wanted to get out of this room and move about the castle or the village. Kagome noticed this.

"I will bring you something from the village ok." She smiled at him and his face brightened right up.

"Ok."

"Well, I guess I should go now. Lady Kaede will be coming soon with your medicine." She got up and started heading for the door, before she left Souta said, "See ya sis."

"Bye." She replied and left his room with a slight smile on her face. He truly was getting better.
