A/N: Here we go another chapter, hope you guys enjoy. I'm feeling creative.
"Mama." Shippo said trying to wake his mother up.
"Mmm." She said rolling over onto her side.
"Mama, wake up." He tried again only to get the same result as last time.
"Okaa-san!" Shippo yelled and Kagome sat up.
"What? What? What's wrong Shippo?" Kaogme asked worriedly as she looked around their camp. They were surrounded by wolves. They were all dark gray so she knew they couldn't be from Kouga's pack. They were all sniffing the ground, like they could tell they were there, but couldn't find them. Kagome strenghtened her barrier and gathered Shippo in her arms. She picked up her bow and arrow, and slung her bag over her shoulder, then started walking. Extending her barrier so that she could keep walking, then receeding the barrier behind her. Keeping her and her son hidden. Soon they were far enough away that Kagome couldn't see or hear the wolves. She was about to let down her barrier when her inneryoukai spoke up.
'Don't.'
'What? Why not?'
'Just trust me on this one. It's not safe, not just yet.'
Kagome sighed, but did as her beast told her. She had finally accepted that the voice in her head had been right. There was no logical explanation as to how Kagome had done what she did. She had always felt like she was different anyways, this would just explain why, that is if it was true.
'If you still doubt me, then let's go ask your mother.'
'You know what, I will. But we're going to have to find a place for Shippo to stay while i'm in my time.'
'Why not just bring him with us?'
'Well because-'
'You've never tried taking anyone other than Inuyasha with you so you automatically thought he and you were the only ones able to pass, correct?'
'Hai.'
'The well allows only those who you deem worthy to pass. No one else.'
'So then Shippo could-'
'Hai.'
'Then what are we waiting for? We'll head back to Kaede's village tonight, and by morning we'll go see my mother.'
'Fine by me. Are you going to tell Shippo now, or later?'
Kagome looked at the fox kit in her arms and smiled.
'Later.'
'Alright. Well start heading North back to Kaede's village. Stop when the sky darkens and rest. We'll reach the well by morning.'
'Why not just keep going until we reach the well?'
'One the wolves are following you, and two because you will need all your strenght to deal with what is to come.'
'The wolves are following us?'
Kagome asked her beast looking over her shoulder. Her eyes widened when she saw the furry outlines of wolves over the horizon.
'They are. They noticed the scent of your kekki and are following it.'
'What do I do?'
'Calm down and draw in your barrier.'
'But if I do that then the barrier will fall and the wolves will sense us.'
'Trust me. Draw in your barrier and use your rekki to mask your scent and aura.'
'Right.'
Kagome did as her beast told her and let her barrier drop. She tried calling upon her rekki to mask her scent and aura but couldn't do it. She sensed that the wolves were gaining on them.
'Focus!'
'I can't. I'm not used to using my rekki. How can I when I'm used to using my kekki?'
'Think of it as two sides of a coin. Picture it in your mind. When on heads you can access your kekki, when on tails your rekki.'
'Right.'
Kagome closed her eyes and pictured a silver coin in her head. She mentally flipped it over from heads to tails, then tried errecting a barrier around her and Shippo. She opened her eyes to see that the wolves had stopped right infront of her and were sniffing the air and the ground trying to find something.
'You did it.'
Kagome's beast said, sounding relieved.
'I did?'
'Hai, now let's go. We need to start heading North if you want to reach Kaede's village by tomorrow morning.'
Kagome nodded and started walking again. She looked down and noticed Shippo had fallen asleep in her arms. She readjusted him so that she was carrying him on her back before taking off in a straight out run. Surprisingly she was able to keep up a steady pace until nightfall. When she finally sat down, she was only barely out of breath.
'How did I-'
'I lent you some of my power.'
'Wait if it's your power doesn't that also mean that it's my power?'
'You're learning fast.'
Kagome smiled.
'Hai, I am.'
'Yes it is, now rest. We'll reach the village by tomorrow.'
'Right.'
Kagome laid down beneath a tree and pulled Shippo up beside her. She was anxious to see her mom, because she wanted answers, but had no time getting to sleep. Despite not breaking a sweat during the run Kagome was beat.
