Split Personality Disaster

Ch. 15 – Hidden Abilities

KAGOME POV

[({..**..})]

"Ummm… er, I mean I've never known that story because I just made it up?" I answered in a questioning way.

"Kagome dear… I think you're hiding something from me, and that's never ever good you know." She said, staring into my eyes. It seemed as if she was peering into my very soul. "What are you hiding?" And all of a sudden it seemed as if we were the only two people in the room. My surroundings became black and I felt as though I were being hypnotized. In my subconscious I knew that Miroku and Haku were near me but I couldn't sense them, feel them, reach them; but I could hear them perfectly.

And all I heard were shouts of my name. I didn't like this, no siree…

"Kagome honey, you're hiding something. Why don't you just tell me?"

Inadvertently I replied with, "But Miroku said not to…" I groaned in mental exhaustion. "Mommy…" I whined.

"It's alright dear. You just need to tell me the truth. Don't lie; Mommy will know." For some reason this felt so surreal, as if I was being videotaped for a movie or something. The dialogue my mom was saying certainly sounded like it. "Dear, if you tell me the truth you're hiding then I'll tell you one of MY deep secrets." Of course being me, that certainly caught my attention.

"You have secrets? Can you tell me?" I asked, curiosity rising within me. I couldn't even hear Selene, maybe it was because I was in my mind?

"Only if you tell me yours." Mom coaxed. "You know I'm here for you right? I'm your mother." And just like that everything was out; about Naraku, my newfound powers, Miroku's curse, Haku's slavery… everything.

"It all started with Haku. He was trying to bully me at home." Mama's face registered shock. "But then I talked back and I was so close to punching him and the teacher saw. Then Hitaru-sensei put us in detention and Haku looked scared. So then Haku started telling me about Naraku. He's a bad demon who wants to take over the world. He's the one who cursed Miroku's grandfather with a hell hole." At Mama's questioning stare I elaborated.

"The hell hole, when opened sucks in everything it encounters." She had an impressed expression. I shook my head to tell her it's not. "It eventually sucks in too many things and widens gradually over the years. The more it's used the shorter the life span of the person who's cursed with it." Mama had a sorry face on now.

"And now Miroku's cursed with it. And because of it he couldn't make many friends. I was his first friend." Her eyes were brimming with tears at Miroku's misfortune, as was mine. "Haku also told me that Naraku was forcing him to do things like bullying people and right now I'm Naraku's newest target." Mama gasped.

"I know. And for Miroku that curse will keep on repeating with the future generations until NARAKU is killed. So I decided that we need to do some research to save a lot of lives. So we went into Grandpa's shed since he has a lot of scrolls. And you know the one at the back that Grandpa's too scared to go in? Yah that was the one we went in cause it seemed right to start there." I continued without waiting for her nod. I was on a roll now.

"So in there I had a vision that I wrote in my book. You know that book I always write in? Yah. So then my vision held a single scroll in my vision so when Miroku interrupted my thoughts I got up and took that scroll out. It emanated so much evil power…" I shivered at the memory.

"Oh and before that Miroku held my hand and then let go with a shock cause he said I have immense spiritual power." I took a deep breath.

"And then Miroku suggested that I come to you because you might know why I have so much power. He said to ask if anyone else in our ancestors had powers like these." I finished.

Mom was quiet for quite a while and I was scared. "So where did you get that story from? Did Miroku really tell you?"

"No Mama. It just flew out of my mouth. I thought it was a good story since I was hearing it for the first time out of my mouth anyways."

"Dear, I think you can see the past and the important near future." I gasped. She continued. "Kagome dear, I think you've been cursed with these powers. Your life… it will never be normal again."

And that's when it seemed as if everything within me shattered to bits and pieces. I mean I always knew I was special… I mean what kid wasn't? But to say that 'it will never be normal again,' that's a bit over the world, isn't it? It has to be right? Right? I woke with a start to see my mom staring at me intently with curiosity. I heard her muttering.

"It's supposed to skip a generation. That's what Mom said. It was supposed to skip me but it didn't. So I thought Kagome wouldn't get it, but here she is with all these abilities. And what's more frightening is that the powers are the same as Mom's. That's got to be saying something right, but what?" I can sense that Mom was scared beyond her wits.

"Mom? Are you okay? You seem scared." I asked out of concern.

"Yes I'm fine dear." Whatever trance she was in seemed to pull back as she snapped back to reality. "Yes about my powers. As you just saw, I can go into another's mind and get anything out of them. I have the ability to go through their memories but I try not to use that since that's trespassing into their personal and private thoughts. What I just used on you is a simpler, kinder version of the harsher one; hypnotizing."

That was very elaborate.

Yah… that's for sure. You think I should tell her more?

You have nothing else to tell. You kinda blabbed it all out before…

Right…

"So Mom, what should I do?" I asked, wondering what she was thinking so much on.

"You, my dear are going to start training."
