Stronger
Ooh hey, yeah
Kagome walked silently,gracefully,and swiftly through the night to watch over Shippo again. She spent the day in a nearby village helping heal the sick and in return got some decent clothes. Now instead of her school uniform she wore a priestess kimono but this one was made just for her.
Instead of red hakama hers were pitch black with some star embroidery(SP?)coming up from the bottom hem line. Her haori was black as the night sky with several spots sewn into it to make it appear as if stars were shining brightly in the pitch black of the night sky on her top.
Very few people saw this beautiful top though. She often wore the robe of the fire rat over it so she would not lose herself completely. She knew if she could just hold onto a little piece of him she would survive.
Her loafers had long ago been ruined and she now walked with no shoes at all. Her mid length wavy black hair had grown out to right about a quarter of her thigh. She also wore it in the same style as Kikyo to keep it out of the way until she could return to her time with Shippo. Once there she would have it styled in a way to keep it out of her face so much.
Hush, just stop There's nothing you can do or say, baby I've had enough
She recalled that night in the grove. She was sick of him always breaking her heart so she left him.
She didn't want to leave the others but she had to in order to leave him.
The man who corrupted her.
The hanyou called Inuyasha.
When she first went into hiding he found her and tried to explain to her why he did what he did and that he was sorry but she told him he was NOT forgiven and left. She left him there in the woods. All alone. At night. To freeze in the snow since he had already gave her his robe of the fire rat. She still wears it as a reminder and a way to keep herself sane.
I'm not your property as from today, baby You might think that I won't make it on my own But now I'm
She also sees the robe of the fire rat as an emblem that proves to the world that she proved him wrong. He didn't think she would make it yet here she was. Perfectly healthy two years later. She remembered that when he first found her he was mad and called her HIS. She belonged to no one but herself. Kouga came after her and claimed that she was his and she purified him. Inuyasha came and claimed her and all he got was a night alone in the freezing snow. She figures it's because she still loves him and she couldn't bring herself to kill him.
Stronger than yesterday Now it's nothing but my way My lonliness ain't killing me no more I'm stronger
She has defeated several demons since that day.
Sesshoumaru had approached her with murderous intent but ended up fleeing with his tail between his legs. She was NOT someone you want to mess with. She was no longer the innocent little school girl she used to be. She still uses her bow and arrows but she also uses a sword as well.
She managed to find Toto-sai and had him make her a sword. She knew Inuyasha found out from Toto-sai where she was hiding because the day he was to bring her the sword Inuyasha was in close pursuit. She took it and quickly thanked Toto-sai before running to avoid Inuyasha. She felt bad about abandoning the old man to deal with Inuyasha's rage but knew it was for the best.
She had made many friends in the villages near the area Inuyasha and her friends stayed in. She knew he stayed there because the two times he saw her she was in that area and he knew she wouldn't leave it. She noticed him talking to every village in the area and all admitted that I visited daily. I made sure to avoid him but I no longer felt lonely because of my many friends in the villages.
Than I ever thought that I could be, baby I used to go with the flow Didn't really care 'bout me You might think that I can't take it, but you're wrong 'Cause now I'm
She remembered how she would do as told and never disobey. She never took care of herself just worried about others and hated when they worried about her.
She had an average amount of concern for herself now and didn't always listen but she still put others before herself and her selfish needs. That in truth. Were'nt that selfish. He thought that her selflessness would cause her ultimate downfall but it's actually helping her more than anything.
She cares for the villages and they care for her. She protects and heals them and they give her food and a place to sleep when needed. When they are low on food she hunts for them. In return they fix her clothing or give her more arrows. They all know not to touch her demon sword.
They all know it has a barrier so only she can touch it. If anyone else does they get burnt. Everyone including herself learned that the hard way when a 9 yr old little boy tried to steal it. She healed his burns and warned everyone of the evident barrier that she hadn't noticed before.
Stronger than yesterday Now it's nothing but my way My lonliness ain't killing me no more I'm stronger
She soon had to distance herself from the villages slightly because Inuyasha and the others tried out the tactic of each staying in a different surrounding village. She ended up stumbling upon Sango in one of the villages and Sango recognized her and explained Inuyasha's plan and agreed to keep her secret and not let Inuyasha know they met. She had the pleasure of birthing Sango's child while she was there.
Kagome left the morning Miroku was to arrive so she wouldn't have to risk her identiy being revealed to anyone else. She had come close to being raped and murderred several times but escaped each with ease. People started to call her the Shikon Miko since she was destined to protect and purify it along with being the one who shattered it and had destroyed Naraku. She now had the full Shikon Jewel and Sango was the only one who knew personally but she told them the jewel was complete.
One of her close calls with Inuyasha caused him to see the sparkle of the jewel while she escaped. He had seen the proof of the full jewel being in Kagome's care. He knew no one would be able to take it from her. She was not a little school girl anymore. She was a woman. A beautiful young woman.
Come on, now Oh, yeah
He almost caught her watching over Shippo one night and she had to leave quickly. So quickly she forgot her bow and arrows which Inuyasha found the next morning. They were near where Shippo slept. He sniffed the air and the bow and knew it was to late. That he wouldn't be able to find her now. He had taken to long to find her bow. He would just have to wait until he could corner her before he could talk to her. He was glad that he could smell his fire rat haori strongly on her bow though. That meant she was still wearing it. Which meant she hadn't forgotten him.
Here I go, on my own I don't need nobody, better off alone
She captured Shippo one night and blind folded him so she could take him to a beautiful place she created to live in without him being able to lead Inuyasha to it. He spent the entire day and night with her since she used her consealment spells on him as well so Inuyasha couldn't track either of them. She returned him the next morning with strict instructions not to tell Inuyasha or he wouldn't be able to visit her again.
Here I go, on my own now I don't need nobody, not anybody Here I go, alright, here I go
She never took Shippo for a visit again since Inuyasha could smell her all over the kit and was yelling trying to get him to tell him which direction she was in. She was proud he kept his promise and didn't tell but didn't want to take more risks so she didn't visit him anymore. Instead she just protected him and he knew she was his hidden guardian so he slept soundly at night and never feared being alone since he knew Kagome was always in the shadows watching him.
Stronger than yesterday Now it's nothing but my way My lonliness ain't killing me no more I'm stronger
She was determined to get over her love of Inuyasha even if it killed her. She was not weak anymore. She was not frail anymore. She no longer needed protected or rescued. She was strong and independent. She knew her love for him was the only thing holding her back from freedom but...she just couldn't let him go.
Some nights when she was watching Shippo she'd leave him a little suprise that let him know she hadn't forgotten him but once the soul collectors came around again. She stopped leaving him his little gifts that brought him mountains of hope.
She was no longer lonely and weak, only love sick and heart broken. Inuyasha on the other hand was lonely,love sick,hopeless, and heart broken. He feared Kagome had given up on him and no longer came around. Until a demon attacked Shippo-well tried- the demon didn't get within 10 feet of the kit who stood there with no fear knowing his mother would save him. Kagome had purified him with an arrow and left the scene quickly so Inuyasha wouldn't catch her. He hadn't seen her since. He missed her VERY much but could not change that...unless she wanted to change it.
AN:ok peoples as you can see this is sort of a time jump and the next chapter is a time jump too so please bear with me,if your wondering what inu did all that time he was looking for kagome along with other things that will be revealed in the next chappie anyways thanx for reading JA NE!
