Chapter 16: Goodbye
Souta hadn't left my side since I'd awoken that night. He stayed close, afraid that if he left I'd slip back into my bloody seizure phase again. I had assured him many times that it wouldn't happen again but the boy wouldn't budge.
"Kagome." He called my name.
I averted my gaze to my younger brother sitting on the edge of my bed. I nodded at him in acknowledgement and he continued.
"How do we free them?" I too wondered the same thing.
"I'm not sure. They will surely tell is in due time." I knew they would beckon Souta and I to them again.
'Mother.' I called to the woman I could speak to through the jewel.
'Yes my child?'
'I have some questions for you.'
'Ask away, my daughter..'
'Why did you choose to plant the jewel inside of me?' I had been pondering at this question for some time now.
'I knew you would protect it whether you realized it or not. I also knew that you would not abuse it's wonderous powers. As you know, the jewel is the most powerful relic on this planet. People, humans and demons, would kill to have the jewel in their possession. You are too mature and pure of heart to abuse the power of the Shikon no Tama.'
'I see. Why is it that my school is named Shikon High?'
'It was built over your father and I.'
'What do you mean?'
'Our bodies were hardened to the very spot we died. Turned to statue-like figures over the centuries. The school was built over our tomb.'
'How is it that I can communicate with you, but not father?'
'He will only speak to you when you are face to face.'
'I understand. He was like that when I was a child as well.'
'You two were very close when you were young. You feared him greatly, however that did not affect the immense love you two had for one another. '
'It's hard to remember the good times I had with him..'
'All of your memories will flood back to you in due time.'
'How do we free you?'
'It will be an extravagant pain. Worse than the one you experienced when I placed the jewel inside of you. You must first learn to remove the jewel. once you remove it, you must reverse the spell that bound us to the jewel. You must do much research and soul searching. You and Souta both must go through great lengths. Only then will your father and I be free. Then you must pick your side. My side, or Magatsuhi's. We must fight til one of us dies...' Her voice faded out, I knew she was finished.
"Souta.. Mother says we must pick a side. Magatsuhi's or hers..." My eyes were downcast.
Souta was silent. How could we possibly pick between our parents knowing that one would die no matter what? Who would I pick?
"Should we pick mother?" Souta's voice was small.
"No." I told him, "We aren't deciding yet. We need to think this through."
I started to get flashes of the times I spent with my mother and then I started to get a good memory of my father and I.
FLASHBACK
(KAGOME IS 3)
Mother sent me to visit my father. I hadn't seen him in months and I missed him greatly. I had walked many miles by myself and finally I stood in front of his manor. Demons surrounded the manor but I wasn't afraid. I knew father would protect me.
"Kagome." I looked up and before me stood my father.
I bolted towards him with my hands outstretched towards him.
"FATHER!" He lifted my body effortlessly and gave me a bear hug. "I missed you very much father!" I cried into his shoulder.
He nuzzled his nose in my hair and hugged me tighter.
"I missed you as well, Kagome. How have you been?" He let me down and led me into the house holding my small hand in his large one.
"WONDERFUL! Mommy thinks she is having a boy. If it's a boy I want to name him Souta. Do you like that name, father?" I knew to ask my father's permission before I did almost anything.
"That's a nice name. Souta." He smiled a little.
I smiled back at him and my week with father began.
"kaaagooommmeee. KAGOME!" Someone was shouting at me.
It was Sango. I had been reminiscing on my past when she walked in.
"Sorry San, what's up?" I smiled at her.
"How have you been feeling?" She looked at me with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"I'm perfectly fine, Sango. A few bumps and bruises ain't got nothin on me! Plus, my priestess powers have been helping me heal a lot quicker." I reassured her quickly.
"But before the doctor said your powers were failing you and that you couldn't use them at all!"
"That was only because I had been pulled into the jewel for a while, it's okay!" Sango was totally freaked out.
She needed to take a chill pill... or maybe twenty of em. I flipped on the tv and motioned for Sango to join me on my hospital bed. Adventure Time was on.
"OMG! This is an episode with lots of LSP! She's my favorite, ya know!" Sango was now freaking about something other than my well-being.
"Oh. My. Glob. MINE TOO!." Souta was now by the bed watching the television as well.
"Ratchets..." I sighed.
"SH!" Sango and Souta both shushed me.
So fake. We continued to watch tv for a few hours. 10 o'Clock rolled around and it was time for bed.
"Bye, Kagome-chan!" Sango waved.
"Bye San!" I called back to her as she left the room.
Souta and I got settled in our beds and fell asleep for the night.
Dream Sequence
I opened my eyes only to find myself back in the white room. This time, however, there was no blinding light, no parents from another life. It was my mama and grampa.
"Mama! Gramps!" I heard Souta shout.
When did he get here? What were they doing here? Too many questions flooded my mind.
"Souta! Kagome!" Mama cried and clung to both of us.
Gramps joined in on the reunion hug.
"Mama, Gramps... what are you doing here? In the jewel?" I asked warily.
Mama looked at me with sad eyes. Grampa placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Your mother has granted our souls entry for a while.. so that we may say our proper goodbye's.." A tear slipped down mama's cheek and Souta wiped it away for her.
"We have missed you both very much," Gramps began, "We are sorry to leave you both with such weight on your shoulders. We never meant to abandon you." GRamps was crying a little, too.
"Oh gramps.." I pulled hum into a tight hug. "It wasn't your fault.."
"It's almost time for us to make our final departure." Mama choked out before rising back to her feet.
"No! Mama.." Souta was saddened and so was I.
GOodbye? Already.. but they just got here. No. It can't be over.. Tears spilled down my face and gramps pulled all of us into our final family hug ever.
"Goodbye my beautiful grandchildren. Always remember that I love you both and am oh so proud of you." Gramps kissed our foreheads before fading from our lives forever, leaving us with mama.
We clung to her, trying to keep her from departing from our lives once again.
"Goodbye my wonderful kids. I love you both more than anything. Take care of each other. I will miss you!" mama kissed Souta and I on the cheek before she too faded away.
Then I woke up. I was still in the hospital. Mama and gramps were gone. Forever. That was the last time I'd ever see them.
"I'm just glad we could see them one more time." Souta looked at me with eyes begging for him to let his tears spill.
He was trying to be strong for me. I pulled Souta into an embrace and whispered to him.
"It's just you and me, Souta. Just like it always has and will be. "
