The Pure Miko

 

Chapter 7

 

“How is she?” were the first words out of Inuyasha's mouth as soon as Sesshomaru came out of the underground base of operations. He and Shippo were now sitting in his office. All of them were back into their human disguises now that they were in a skyscraper that had humans in it.

 

“She is asleep.”

 

“Should I send them back down there?”

 

“No, she let loose a lot of energy down there. Let it settle down a bit.”

 

“She released her powers. Shouldn't you be dead?”

 

“No, you powers recognize me. They will not harm me unless they or Kagome feels that it is necessary.”

 

“What are her powers doing, Sesshomaru? I don't understand why they are getting out of control.” Shippo put in his thoughts.

 

“It is the belief that it is the Jewel that is causing this.”

 

Something profound must of dawned on the son of The Pure Miko because he was silent and looking at Sesshomaru in wonderment.

 

“The Jewel. It is inside of her. How could it do anything.”

 

“Inuyasha, you don't seem to get it. Mother was a very powerful miko without the Jewel. She is a Pure Miko, the last one since Midoriko. It is my belief that she is and will always be more powerful than Midoriko. That, however, is not the point. The point is that Kagome now has the Jewel in her body.”

 

“You are correct. Kagome has now come to be the true Jewel of Four Souls.” Sesshomaru finished for Shippo.

 

“But that is ridiculous! Kagome doesn't have that kind of power.”

 

“But she does. When she released her powers down in the infirmary that was not even half of what she could do, and she lit up the entire base.”

 

“Is that why they have turned blue instead of the normal pink.”

 

“Yes, and that would explain her eye color change.”

 

“But why is the Jewel acting up like this? Is it because she is suppressing her powers so much now? Before she had to only suppress it enough so that Spirit world would not realize that she existed, but since the Spirit Detectives have come into the picture she has to suppress all of her energy.”

 

Sesshomaru and Shippo just looked at Inuyasha with a blank look on their faces.

 

“What?” he asked. “I am in the information department you know. I have been keeping taps on her ya' know. Especially with that Fox running around.”

 

Sesshomaru growled at his words while Shippo laughed.

 

“What is so funny, Shrimp?”

 

“I just find it ironic that none of you actually know what he actually doing that's all!” Shippo managed exclaim at them during his fit of laughing.

 

Sesshomaru's growls grew louder and his eyes started to get a red tint to them.

 

“Um, Sesshomaru, you need to calm down buddy. You are starting to get a little ragged in the eyes.” Shippo said when he finished his giggles.

 

He ignored him in favor of doing a famous Sesshomaru glare.

 

“Explain, Kitsune.” he commanded.

 

“What I mean is that Kurama does not even know what he is actually doing. His other half, Yoko, is trying to court her. Kurama does not even see it. While they have finally merged after the last tournament that does not mean that Kurama understands Kitsune behavior.”

 

“What? Why that sly—” Inuyasha started.

 

“Silence!” Sesshomaru shouted at him.

 

“You mean to tell me that he is courting her? Does she know anything?”

 

“No, she doesn't. But she is bound to find out sooner or later. And so is he.”

 

“Yeah, and her secret.” Inuyasha said.

 

“What do you mean?” Shippo asked.

 

“My sources tell me that he is starting to suspect that Kagome is not all that she seems. He knows that she is a miko, but he doesn't know that she knows of her powers.”

 

“I haven't heard that before.” Shippo said in shock.

 

“Of course not. I am in the information department.” Inuyasha said smugly. He just loved it when he had the upper hand. That is one of the reasons that he took this job.

 

“Yep, he has even been asking about her family, where she comes from, who she is related to, you know that kind of thing.”

 

“Kagome hasn't—”

 

“No, she has been very evasive in her answers. She would even give you and Sesshomaru a run for your money.”

 

“Is that so?” Shippo asked as he smiled.

 

“Yep, I have to admit that she is very good at it to.”

 

A smell finally made itself known in the room. The acidic smell made Shippo and Inuyasha cover their noses.

 

“What is wrong with you, Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha gasped out at his older half-brother.

 

“That damn Fox. He is going to pay for his insolence.” Sesshomaru replied in just a voice that it was like the freezing winters in Demon world would not compete.

 

“Huh?”

 

“I warned him not to mess with the miko. He will pay for his defiance.”

 

“Yeah, whatever. Good luck doing that without exposing yourself.” Came Inuyasha's snide remark.

 

Sesshomaru growled in agitation. He hated it when his half-brother was correct. He just hated it with a vengeful passion.

 

 

 

 

“Hey, Kurama! You ready for that weapons class tomorrow?” Kagome asked as she sat down in front of Kurama before their language class together.

 

It had been a month after her powers went all psychotic on her. She was doing much better now that she had the entire base camp to herself once a week. She usually went down there on Thursday during the middle of the night. She had found that was when she was not swamped with demons to kill. It might have to do with the fact that most of them slept in to get ready for a fun Friday night because that was when she was busiest. On her late nights of having the entire floor to herself Kagome let loose her powers for as much as she could allow without sending out to much to alert the Spirit world. Yes, she knew that Sesshomaru had made the barriers stronger to compensate for her extra miko powers, but she knew better. The Pure Miko knew that if she let out all of her powers that no barrier in the entirety of all four worlds could stop her from being detected. And that was the truth. She didn't know how she knew this, but she just did. She wasn't going to question it though. And she wasn't going to say anything to Sesshomaru anything either. He had been very tense for the past month.

 

She had started to notice that he was constantly with her. He or his brother were always there with her at some point or another. Shippo, she had noticed, would snicker on casual passing of her and one of her body guards. She had once inquired about it, but he had laughed and shook his head stating that she `would find out later'.

 

The only time that Kagome could actually say was hers was when she was fighting at the dead of night. Even during her classes she sensed that Hiei was constantly looking in on her. She didn't sense him using his Jagon, but she did notice his presence during most of her classes at the University.

 

“Yes, it shall be very interesting. Did you finally sign up for it?”

 

“Yep, I did that a few weeks ago. They almost didn't let me in because of my late entry.”

 

“How did you manage to get in?”

 

“I have my ways.”

 

Kurama quirked an eyebrow at her in question.

 

“That is my secret for me to know and you to never find out.” Kagome responded before he could voice his question.

 

Kagome was still astonished with her relationship with Kurama. He was so nice to her that it was astonishing. They could both now tell when something was wrong with the other or when one of them had a question. Kagome found herself trusting this avatar even more with every passing day. She felt that she had known him for her whole life.

 

The only thing that bothered her now about their friendship was the fact that they were both keeping secrets. Granted, she all ready knew most of his because she had looked him up in the database at work, but that was beside the point. She just hoped that one day they could be honest with each other like she wanted them to be. She wanted so badly to reveal herself to him, but she wasn't sure about how he would react to her. She was tempted to tell him once when they had gone on a picnic together. Sesshomaru allowed her to take a Saturday off due to her heavy workload, and it so happened that that same day he asked her to go on a picnic with him. He had shown her this beautiful garden full of gorgeous flowers that she thought were breathtaking. He said that it was his personal sanctuary and that she could come there anytime that she wanted to. And more importantly, he had made her oden and chocolate covered strawberries. That was so sweet of him in her opinion. That had more meaning to her than anything anyone else could have managed to do! It meant so much to her that he had cooked a meal for her and even managed to put everything that she loved in it. Chocolate was always a plus in her book.

 

“Hey, Kagome?” Kurama's voice broke through her thoughts.

 

She smiled. “Yeah!”

 

“I was wondering if you would like to see a movie with me tonight? That is if you don't all ready have other plans for the night.”

 

“I have work, but I am sure that I could leave early. My boss owes me a night off. What movie did you have in mind?”

 

Kurama's heart leapt in his chest. It felt like it was in his throat. He was hopping she would say yes. He had been planning this night for the past two weeks. It was about time that he asked her the question that he had wanted to ask her for the past month. He just didn't know how to approach her on the subject.

 

“Well, I was thinking of that new American movie that is in theaters. I know that you love American music, but have you ever seen an American movie?”

 

“Oh! I have always wanted to see one of those. I don't get to go to the movies all that much with all of my classes and work. I would love to go see it!”

 

“Sure, where should I pick you up?”

 

“Of don't worry about it. I'll meet you there. I have to come from work so it would be easier to just meet you there. What time is the movie?”

 

“It is at six-thirty. It last for two hours.”

 

“Sure, I'll be there!”

 

“I was also hoping to take you somewhere else after the movie.” Kurama informed her.

 

“Oh, really? And where that might that be?”

 

“That is for me to know and you to find out.” Kurama mischievously replied right before the professor walked in to start the days lesson.

 

Kagome turned around to pay attention in class. But she couldn't help but wonder what Kurama had in mind for their night tonight.

 

 

 

 

“Kagome, during the Feudal Era time period there are several myths. Who was the group fighting against to gain the Jewel of Four Souls?” The professor asked Kagome.

 

“His name was Naraku. He was a half-demon that wanted to become a full demon.”

 

“Yes, very good. Now I want everyone to read the next chapter and be ready for a quiz for the next class. You are dismissed.”

 

“So were are we going after the movie?” Kagome pounced on Kurama the second they left the class. She had to get to work, but that didn't mean that she couldn't pester him on her way to her car.

 

“That is for me to know and for you to find out, my dear Kagome.”

 

“Ugh! You are so mean!”

 

“I practice at it. How am I doing?”

 

Kagome laughed out loud. “All right. I deserved that. I'll meet you outside the theater at six-fifteen.”

 

Kagome embraced Kurama and left.

 

“See ya' tonight! Bye!” Kagome said as she ran to her car.

 

He didn't respond. He was still getting over the fact that Kagome had just…hugged him.

 

Yes, this was going to be a good night. A good night indeed. He could feel it!

 

 

 

 

Kagome made it to work in record time. The adrenaline running through her made her speed more than she normally would. Bus she couldn't help it, she was just so excited! She couldn't wait to see Kurama later. She was still wondering about where he would take her after the movie.

 

“You seem to be in a chipper mood today. You got a big date or something?” Sagero joked as he was thrown down on the concrete.

 

“Actually, I do.” Kagome said as she grabbed her rag to whip off the sweat from her face. This was her twelfth opponent so far. And all of them ended up on the cold concrete floor just like Sagero was demonstrating.

 

Sagero stared at her. “What? You mind running that by me again.”

 

“Yes, I have a date. Now I have to take a shower and change. Bye.” Kagome said as she made her way to the locker room.

 

She wasn't worried about having to wait for a shower to become free because whenever she got close the few woman that were in the base seemed to not be in there. Although, Kagome couldn't hold it against them. They did now have a fear of her for her powers. She couldn't help that though. As much as it hurt to be rejected from the people she thought that were her friends, Kagome had to move on. She couldn't help who she was. She had tried being someone that she wasn't many years ago and she didn't want to do it again. At least here she got to be who she truly was and not some reincarnation of a dead priestess.

 

Kagome took her shower with the scolding hot water running over her head, back, and legs. She dressed in a fashionable skirt and halter top. The skirt was pure black with blood red roses covering it. The shirt complimented the shirt with etchings of red roses on it. They were very small in number on the shirt but she loved it anyway. The outfit showed off all of her curves in all of the right places.

 

She had bought this outfit with Kurama in mind. She didn't know why she did, but she just thought that he might like it. He did have a rose attack now didn't he.

 

Kagome made her way up to Sesshomaru's office with her small black purse in hand. She was just going to tell him that she was not patrolling that night and that she would see him in the morning.

 

“Hey, Sesshomaru!” Kagome said as she announced her presence for she never bothered to knock.

 

“Yes, Kagome.” he replied tensely.

 

“Whoa, what is wrong with the demon lord? Wake up on the wrong side of the…wait you didn't go to bed last night.”

 

“And how would you know this?”

 

“You are wearing the same thing that you were wearing yesterday. And if that wasn't a clue then I don't know what is. Besides your shirt is all wrinkly and that tells me that you haven't left this office.”

 

Sesshomaru glared at her. He sometimes hated it when she paid attention to details like that. She was always doing that to him.

 

“Is there you needed, Kagome?”

 

“Nope, I just wanted to tell you that I'm leaving.”

 

“I trust that you will be careful when you—”

 

“Actually, I'm taking the night off. I'm going out with a friend.”

 

“Explain.”

 

“There isn't much to explain, Sesshomaru. I am going to leave the office, something that you seem incapable of managing, and I am going to get in my car and leave to meet a friend.”

 

“Do not mock me. Why aren't you going to patrol?”

 

“Look, Sesshomaru, I'm in need of a break. I work the entire week. I have had only one day off in over two months. Can't I just take tonight off?”

 

And then she gave him the look. The puppy dogs you-know-you-want-to-say-yes look. It must have been pretty convincing because Sesshomaru signed in defeat.

 

“Very well. You may leave.”

 

“Thank you!” she squealed at him. He winced in pain.

 

“Oh, sorry!” she whispered in apology. “I'll see you tomorrow.”

 

Kagome ran out of the room just as Sagero was coming in.

 

“Bye, Sagero. Sorry for knocking you down to badly.”

 

“Nah, don't worry about it. Have a good time.”

 

“Yeah, I will. Have a nice night!”

 

Kagome's high heels were then the only thing that told of her departure. They clicked on the marble floor with every step until they faded even with a demon's excellent hearing abilities.

 

“Aren't you going with her?” Sagero asked in confusion once he saw that Sesshomaru made no move to follow her.

 

“No, why would this Sesshomaru do that?”

 

“I thought that you were her date.”

 

“She is going on a date?”

 

“Yeah, she is going on a date or something like that. I thought that you were taking her. She was in a great mood when she got to work. She took down thirteen of us today, myself included. And all of them were our best!”

 

“No, I am not taking her.”

 

“Well, it must be Kurama that she is going with.” Shippo said as he walked in the office.

 

“Don't any of you learn of knocking before entering my presence?”

 

“The door was open.” Shippo said as if that was an explanation in itself. “Besides I need to talk to you about this new deal. I am starting to worry about…”

 

The rest of Shippo's words seemed to fade away. Sesshomaru could only hear the words of `date' and `fox' in his mind.

 

 

 

 

Kagome stepped out of her car at the theater. She went to the entrance of the theater. Her passing caused whistling and words like `damn' to follow her.

 

Kurama was waiting for her at the theater entrance for her. He looked very nervous, but Kagome passed that off due to the numerous females fawning over him. One was even hanging off of him asking him if he wanted to go to her place. She seemed to be the leader of the group for she had on flashy jewelry and clothes that screamed slut.

 

At seeing this, the all-powerful miko came to his rescue. She moved to them, deliberately swinging her hips as she walked and tossing her hair across her shoulder.

 

“Shuiichi, there you are, honey! I am so sorry that I am late! I had a little trouble with my car. You know Mustang's these days. They always seem to break on me. I was actually thinking about getting a Friary. I heard that they were so much better.” Kagome deliberately pronounced her words like she was a completely self-absorbed airhead with only money and her boyfriend to take up her time.

 

Kagome moved up next Kurama and grabbed onto her arms like she had seen on several movies.

 

“Honey, is she bothering you? I can always call daddy! He hates it when women upset his baby girl. I could get her arrested for you if you like?”

 

Kagome could almost choke on her words. She could not believe her behavior right now. This was so…so…not her! She ashamed to say that this was how most rich and wealth people behaved in public, especially to other females when it concerned their man. Most women just got into a cat-fight, but spoiled rich girls simply got their father's to get the other girl arrested for some lame reason. It was horrible, true, but it was also a fact of life. And Kagome was going to follow by their rules now. She was not going to let some girl ruin her night out with Kurama. She had the night off, and she was going to enjoy it!

 

The other female removed herself from their presence as fast as her five inch heels would allow.

 

“Shall we go in?” Kagome asked a gapping Kurama. It seemed that he was still in shock. By her behavior or by her outfit was a mystery to all onlookers.

 

He came out of his thoughts long enough to nod at her and move into the theater.

 

 

 

 

“Of my gosh! That was so awesome!” Kagome said as they left the theater.

 

“Yes, it was very entertaining.”

 

Kagome laughed at him and made her way to her car.

 

“Now where do you think your going?” Kurama said as his left arm grabbed and held her firmly by the waist. He pulled her so that she was touching him as much as their positions would allow.

 

“To my car?”

 

“No, you are coming with me.”

 

“But I—”

 

“Don't worry, it is not far away.”

 

She smiled and replied, “Okay.”

 

Kurama led her in the opposite direction of her vehicle. They walked down the sidewalks for about seven minutes before he made her turn right going down a lamp lit path.

 

“Where are you taking me?” Kagome asked curiously. Most women would be afraid to be walking down a deserted path with a demon in disguise, but Kagome just found herself even more curious than she was before.

 

“Shh.”

 

Kagome remained silent. They moved up to a gate. Kurama opened it with easy and allowed her to go in before him.

 

“Close your eyes.”

 

Kagome did as he requested without hesitation. She heard him close the gate behind her and then he felt him leading her down the path that was before her.

 

Kurama led her for a minute before he stopped her. “Now open them.”

 

Kagome opened her eyes to only be met with the most beautiful site that she had ever seen in her entire life! The little garden that he had once shown her compared nothing to this.

 

All around her were blood red roses. They were all flawless and perfect in every way. White lights emanated throughout the entire red rose garden. A fountain was set in the middle of the garden with an angel of heaven on top. And little lighting bugs were moving about only making the scene even more exotic in its simplicity.

 

“Oh my gosh.” she whispered. “How did you find such a place?”

 

Kurama didn't answer.

 

After a few moments of allowing Kagome to explore, Kurama finally made his move.

 

“Kagome, can I speak honestly with you?”

 

Kagome came right up to his face with a smile as bright as the sun on her face. “You know that you can always be honest with me.”

 

“Kagome, I have known you for such a short amount of time that I feel like I know everything about you. I look forward to seeing you every day of the week. And the fact that I can't makes my heart ache.”

 

Kagome's eyes softened considerably. She couldn't believe that someone was actually saying something like this to her.

 

“The point is, I don't want to continue seeing you as a friend.”

 

Kurama paused for dramatic effect.

 

“Kagome, will you be more than a friend to me? Because it has been so hard for me.”

 

Kagome looked at him, as his he was the only person in the world.

 

“What has been so hard for you?”

 

“Restraining myself from kissing you.” Kurama said bluntly. He was putting his feelings on the line here, and he knew it.

 

“Then what is stopping you?” she asked back as she raised her head and her lips in a challenge.

 

Kurama did not say anything in reply. He moved his body to stand flush against her. He moved his arms to circle her small frame and bring her closer to him, making her press against his chest.

 

He lowered his head and captured her sweet lips with his own to give her a kiss that was full of passion and wonderment. Kurama put all of his emotions, his confusion, his love, and his want into the kiss.

 

This kiss was the start of a new chapter in their lives. A chapter that both of them were going to need for the trouble that lay ahead.

 

­­­­­­­­­­&# 173;­­­­­­­­­­­­ ;­­Note: I know that some of you are wondering about why Kagome's powers are starting to get out of hand. This will be fully explained in the later chapters. I hope you liked this chapter. Please send a review or comment telling me what you thought about it.
