Chapter 4: New Mission
As soon as she was out of their sight Kagome ran home; worry and sorrow enveloped her. “Please let them be ok,” she prayed to whatever god may be listening in hopes that Naraku left her family in peace. Kagome relaxed slightly when she saw her home. Everything looked normal and she could not sense anything wrong. Her heart slammed into her rib cage as she slowly entered her house. She could here food being cooked in the kitchen which confused Kagome. “Maybe Mom decided to fix me a meal in case I got hungry, even though I did tell her not to.” Kagome could hardly breathe; her lungs just wouldn’t allow her to bring in air. Her eyes widened as she looked into the kitchen. It looked as if it was her mother, but Kagome knew that the woman standing their wasn’t. Anger gripped her as the rage began to flow through her veins, “Who are you, and where’s my mother,” her voice was demanding and held much promise of pain if she didn’t get the answer she wanted.
The woman only turned around and smiled, the face stretching making it seem as if she was much older than her mother really was. “I swear if you don’t tell me right now…” Her words where cut short when another one grabbed her from behind. The only difference was that this one looked like her Grandpa. The woman came up right in front of her, she smelt like decay, making Kagome want to gag. “Don’t worry; your Mother and Grandfather are fine at the present moment. Naraku will make sure that their comfort and happiness is taken care of.” Kagome struggled as hatred surged through her, “let them go, and what have you done to Souta?!” But the grip on her only tightened, as a frown on the woman’s face, “Naraku will do with them as he wishes, as for Souta. The boy is your brother I presume. Well as for him….” A snarl came upon her face, “the boy will have to die when we find him.” Kagome’s eyes widened as hope came into her, “You mean you do not have him yet?” Another snarl came out of her lips, “lucky for the boy, he some how managed to save himself by defeating one of our people. But no matte4r, we will find him, and then Ill kill him.”
Kagome fought back in rage, “You will not touch him!!!” The grip tightened so hard that it felt like her bones where going to snap, “The boy will die and you… You will be brought to Naraku and…”The conversation was soon cut short as the one behind her screeched in pain, a young boys voice could be heard, “I wont let you hurt my sister!!” As soon as she was free Kagome could feel her power pulse within her very soul as she casted a holy spell at the woman, “LIGHT OF THE FORGOTTEN!!” It slammed her chest sending the woman backwards as she began to burn. Her screams could be heard as she began to die an agonizing death. Kagome spun around, ready to take out the second one but found it dead on the floor, Souta standing over it shaking in fear, his eyes were wide. Kagome quickly ran over to him, she gently pried the staff he used to kill it from his hands. “Souta its ok… Everything’s going to be just fine,” her voice was soft and soothing as she embraced her brother in a hug attempting to comfort him. “Kagome they took Mom and Grandpa. What are we going to do?” He clutched Kagome like she was his only lifeline left. “Don’t worry Souta; I’ll get them back…. I promise.” (Spirit Realm, Koenma’s Office)
“KOENMA!!! You damn toddler!! Where the hell are you?!” Yusuke’s voice was loud and it trembled with the strain of trying to keep himself under control. A little squeak could be heard from behind the desk that sat in front of the large monitors. Papers where scattered all around his office, no longer in slightly neat piles. It looked like a tornado had come through the office. Koenma’s head slowly rose up, his face an ashy gray color. Hiei’s eyes narrowed as they all began to walk over to him. Koenma cold feel the muscles in his lungs tighten, a gulp could be heard as his eyes widened slightly. Kurama’s voice was soft, but threatening, “Now Koenma are you going to tell us what is going on, or must we force if from you?” Koenma stood up and walked over to his seat, his heart thumping in his chest like a drum beating at a fast pace rhythm. (Koenma’s pov)
“My dads going to kill me. But their not about to let me keep hiding this any longer. By the looks of it, if I don’t tell them something, I’m going to find out really how painfully sharp Hiei’s katana is. Why is everything against me! I’m going to have the shortest life a demi god ever had.” (Normal pov)
Koenma dropped himself in his chair; his face looked worn and tired. He was slumping slightly in a defeated posture, “I’ll tell you as much as I can. But don’t be surprised if its not much. Even I don’t know that much about it.” “Hn,” was the only sound that Hiei made, which meant just hurry up. Sighing, he could feel all their eyes boring down upon him, “It all began around the time you died Yusuke.” Koenma straightened up as he began to tell his story, “Their was a large amount of power emanating from the Higurashi Shrine. We were going to find a way to seal if when a young girl was dragged down into the depths of the well by a species of demon that was suppose to have died out five hundred years ago. I would have just closed it up and ended it their but, something blocked it…” Kuwabara interrupted, “hey wait, you didn’t say what happened to the girl. The demon didn’t eat her did it?!” Koenma sighed again, “No Kuwabara, if you wouldn’t interrupt me, I would have told you by now. For you see….”
“Kagome what are you doing?” Souta peered at his sister questioningly. Kagome straightened up, her body tired and stiff from lack of sleep, “I’m putting protection sutra’s up around the house. A small tear went down her cheek as she remembered the training Miroku and Kaede had put her through. They had been so patient with her but tuff on her as well so she could be better protected. (Feudal Japan. Two years ago)
“Ye must concentrate harder if ye wish to activate the sutra. Their may be a time where that may be the only thing between you and death.” “I have been trying hard. I cant do it,” Kagome’s face was set in a deep frown as she tried to add the magic to the sutra.
“Lady Kagome, you must concentrate your entire soul on the sutra. Nothing else can be in your thoughts. Therefore clear your mind of all thoughts, “Miroku’s voice was calm but commanding. “Now keep trying, it is very important for you to know how to do this.” Kagome closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could, unknowingly the sutra began to spark, Miroku’s eyes widened, “Kagome relax before….” But it was to late. The sutra had exploded, leaving three ash burnt faces. Kaede chuckled, “Well if ye can get it to explode, I’m sure you can get the spell to work and power the sutra.” Miroku smiled, “And I know just the person, or should I say hanyou to try it on.”
Kagome’s laughter filled the hut, it sounded as if millions of bells where chiming. Miroku smiled, her laughter always seemed to have the affect of relieving the ache in everyone’s hearts. He patted her shoulder affectingly, “Hurry and get the sutras ready, all you have to do is ease up a little and you’ll get it, I’m going to find our little hanyou friend Inuyasha.” Kagome’s face showed a slight startled look as she gazed at him, “Miroku I thought you were just joking. We can’t use these on Inuyasha. They might hurt him.” Miroku’s face lit up with a mischievous smile, “Do not worry so much Lady Kagome, they wont be very strong right now since you have never used them.” “But Miroku….” Miroku made a tsking sound as he waved a finger in her face, “Think nothing of it Kagome, I am always happy to help a lovely young lady.” Kagome blinked in confusion, “What does that have to do with anything?” Kagome knew whenever Miroku stopped making sense; it was because nothing was going to change his mind.
Kagome sighed, knowing she would have to go along with it, “Thank you Miroku.” Miroku smiled, which made Kagome back away’ she could see the perverted side of him making its way out. His mouth began to open as if to say something, but Kagome cut him off, “I think I should have the sutras done by the time you get back with Inuyasha, but don’t get back too quickly.” Miroku’s lip poked out in a slight pout, “Than I’ll be on my way, but I had another idea that sounded like a lot more fun.” Kagome smiled an innocent smile, “ I think it would be wiser to just go get Inu.” Miroku bowed slightly, “As you wish Lady Kagome, but at least think about it,” Miroku put his hands in the air, “ I know, I know, go get Inuyasha.”
He sighed as he walked out of the hut, “I’ll return shortly with our hanyou friend.” Kagome laughed lightly, “Thanks Miroku, don’t let him come back to fast.” Miroku wave his hand, the pout returning to his face, “Of course Lady Kagome. Do not worry you can count on me. I am a man of Buddha of course,” with the perverted smile back on his face, then he was gone from the hut. Kaede chuckled, “He will never change, that hiroshi. (Spelling?) Kagome quickly got a sutra ready. It had taken weeks to practice and now it was ready. Putting sutras up around the door of the hut, Kagome could hear Inuyasha, “Damn it Miroku! What’s this all about?! I’m busy as you can obviously tell.” “Yes, Yes, I know Inuyasha, but….” Inuayasha froze as worry spread across his face, “What is it Miroku? What’s wrong?” A sad look cam on his face, his head bent slightly in sorrow, “Its Kagome she…” But before he could finish Inuyasha bolted towards the entrance, “Kagome!!!” As soon as he reached the entrance he was immediately thrown back, slamming into the ground, “What the hell’s going on?! Miroku smiled, “ As I was saying, Kagome has finally mastered the sutra of protection.” (Present Japan)
“Kagome is something wrong.” Souta looked up at his older sister with worry. A sad smile was on her face, her eyes held the years of sorrow. Looking down, Kagome hid the pain, “Of course Souta. I’m just worried about Mom and Grandpa that’s all.” Souta nodded but he knew very well what was bothering her. He knew better than to bring that up thought. “We’ll be able to save them right?” (Spirit Realm, Koenma’s Office)
“What’s the Jewel of The Four Souls?” Kuwabara asked with curiosity. Koenma sighed rubbing his temples, his head was pounding. “Baka, don’t you know anything, “Hiei muttered, his face showed annoyance at what he obviously found the question stupid. Kuwabara spun around, his hands fisted, “How many times do I have to tell you? I’m not an idiot!” Kurama stepped in before it could go further, “ The Jewel of Four Souls, or better known as the Shikon No Tama , is a powerful jewel that has the power to grant any wish. Or if consumed or imbedded in a demon, could raise its powers beyond anything imaginable. It could also do the same for a human but has stronger affects in the hands of demons. But if one is not enough or strong enough, the jewel will be tainted or can posses the one who has acquired it. But the jewel was suppose to have disappeared almost five hundred years ago,” Kurama patiently explained.” So basically that demon, Naraku, is trying to get his hands on it,” Yusuke questioned. “That would be what Koenma just told us Yusuke,” Hiei’s voice was mocking with amusement.
Yusuke glared at Hiei, “I know that. Jeez Hiei what crawled up your ass and died, I’ve never seen you in such a mood. Hiei mad a “hn” sound and looked away ignoring Yusuke’s question. Looking back at Koenma with a frown on his face, “ So does that mean we have to protect the jewel?” Koenma sighed, “We cant take it from her. She is the destined guardian of the Shikon No Tama.” Annoyance spread farther on Yusuke’s face, “Then what the hell are we going to do? We can’t just follow her around, she already threatened to purify us if she saw us again!” Koenma paled, knowing that once he mentioned his plan, his life would be shortened even more, “Actually you don’t have to worry about this one Yusuke. Hiei is to follow her and protect her and the jewel. Keeping hidden of course.”
Hiei’s head snapped towards Koenma, anger flaring in his eyes turning them slightly red, “What was that Koenma? I hope you aren’t suggesting what I think your suggesting.” Koenma gulped, “ I don’t have any other options. You’re the only one who can what her without getting caught.” Getting slightly brave he continued, putting a fiery attitude behind it, “So you better not screw this up Hiei!!!” Flinched at the look on Hiei’s face, knowing he had just gone to far. Hiei didn’t like the plant, he disliked the way Koenma had just spoken to him as well, but he knew he had no choice, “Hn,” was the only sound he made.
