Kagome watched the sun rise slowly over the horizon the next day before looking over her shoulder at the hanyou who was sleeping soundly behind her. She smiled before standing and heading to the high school to find Hitimo.
He was floating in the same hallway when she found him. “Hello Kagome!” He shouted with a wave. “Hello Hitimo!” He paused as she floated over to him. “Your aura is different, come, tell me what happened.” He led her to the same classroom and sat at the teacher’s desk. Kagome sat at the desk she had the day before.
“So tell me.” He said, taking his glasses off and wiping them on his shirt. “Well, I guess to explain I’ll have to tell you a story.” The boy looked up in surprise but nodded. “When I was 15 I was pulled into the bone eaters well at our shrine by a demon. I was transported to the feudal era thanks to the sacred jewel. Once there I met a half demon named Inuyasha who was sealed to the sacred tree that stands at our shrine and through an accident with a sacred arrow I shattered the jewel and in trying to find the pieces met a lot of friends.” Hitimo’s jaw was hanging open. “That is why I was missing so much school, I was in the feudal era trying to find the pieces of the sacred jewel. Anyway, I tell you this story to explain what has happened. Inuyasha and I were separated by the well and a horrible demon once a few years ago. I had been under the demons control and almost killed Inuyasha. I left him lying against the sacred tree. In my era I put my hand against the sacred tree, where Inuyasha had been sealed and like a miracle we could communicate. I knew exactly how to get back to him. Now that you know that, what I tell you next will make sense. Yesterday while I was sleeping he came into my room and laid down, it had hurt before to be so close to him and I always assumed it was from his youki, but when he asked me to let him know if I was still around and if so where was I, I muttered to him and he heard me. It seemed like he could only hear me clearly if I was angry though. Through a series of arguments we ended up at the sacred tree and he heard me clearly, we could even touch! He ended up able to see me, completely see me. Plus this string appeared and connected us.” She held her hand up to show him the red.
A large grin pulled his jaw back into place. A laugh escaped him and he shook his head. “I shouldn’t be surprised; you were always so strange during school, no offence.” She shook her head to indicate that none was taken. “He can’t hear me all the time though… Only when I’m feeling a strong emotion.” Hitimo nodded. “He’s a hanyou, an inu hanyou?” She nodded, “right, his sense of hearing is more advanced than most.” He paused and pushed his glasses up his nose. “I also think your emotions trigger your miko powers and allow you the power to be heard by him. It has to be strong emotions though. You know of poltergeists?” She nodded again, “the only reason most people even know they exists is because their powerful emotion allow them to move objects or torment the living.”
“Just like Mayu…” She muttered to herself. “What was that?” Hitimo asked. “When I first started to travel with Inuyasha I met a poltergeist named Mayu. She was angry with her mother because she felt like the woman had abandoned her to save her brother so she began to torture them both, almost killing her brother. The demon known as a soul piper almost took her to hell but I managed to save her. Inuyasha couldn’t see or hear me when I was fighting to free Mayu from the soul piper’s chains.”
“That is because you were in the spiritual plane, where you are now.” She nodded a third time. “That makes sense.”
“Anyway, I’m not sure why you are able to touch the hanyou now, I assume it has something to do with his inner youkai no longer seeing you as a threat, your communication through the tree connected you both and now the demon remembers who you are.” Kagome smiled gently. “What did you learn over the hours?” She asked, her face heating in a blush at her obvious attempt to turn to conversation away from her feelings for Inuyasha.
“Not a lot to be honest with you. The strong emotions were the only thing I got a solid lead on. As for the tether I found nothing, I’ve been trying to figure it out but,” he jumped off the desk and took her hand in his looking at the ribbon, “I believe this might be the answer.” He looked into her face and studying her intensely. “I still see the shade in your aura but now I can’t tell if it is the hanyou’s tie to you or something else.” He chuckled and backed away, settling back onto the desk. “My, my you are becoming quite the entertaining case. I do like mysteries.” He said winking at her. She giggled and stood, “thanks for all your help Hitimo, I guess I should be getting back though. Inuyasha says he can feel when I’m missing.” Hitimo raised an eyebrow. “He can sense your absence? That’s new and I’m guessing it has to do with his demon blood. I will continue to do research, let me know if anything changes. You are making my afterlife interesting.” She giggled as she walked to the door. “Thank you again.” Hitimo nodded.
Kagome floated slowly home thinking over what Hitimo had said. Strong emotions huh? I’m sure I could get angry enough to make him listen. She giggled at her own thoughts and picked up her pace anxious to get back to him.
As she floated into her house she realized he was gone. Oh yeah didn’t he say he was going to talk to Miroku and Keade? She floated into her room and laid on her bed. I miss him already. She thought with a soft smile as she closed her eyes. “I’ll feel him when he comes back.” She muttered before closing her eyes and trying to sleep. “Funny, I told Inuyasha I don’t need sleep.” She never did fall into sleep, just simply meditated like Keade had taught her so long ago. Each time her miko energy flared during the meditation her head gave a sharp pain to match it. How strange. She thought but continued to meditate, keeping the miko power spikes to a minimum.
