Chapter 13: Masaka (Revised)
Kagome's eyes snapped open in terror and she bolted into a sitting position. She breathed in deeply trying to calm her racing heart.
`It was only a dream…but it felt so real.'
Kagome placed her hand over the spot where the arrow had pierced through her body.
`I can still feel a dull ache here, how is that possible.'
Her eyes widened as the last part of her dream came crashing back to her mind.
`What was that…did I really hear Okaasan's voice? But if I did then why is she sending all these horrible dreams to me? Is she trying to tell me something? But what?'
Her brows creased in frustration, as she tried to remember her mother's last words.
`I know it was important but I can't remember what she said.'
She suddenly felt light headed from sitting up so fast, so she gently laid her bruised and battered body back down on the futon, by Kouga's sleeping body.
Kagome turned her gaze to Kouga's slumbering form; she let her eyes gently roam his softened features.
`He looks so peaceful when he is sleeping? Just like Inuyasha.'
She shook her head, as if trying to force all thoughts of Inuyasha from her mind.
`Why do my thoughts keep going back to him…why am I so connected to him?'
She asked her self.
Just as her thoughts began to roam, her mother's last words flashed into her memory.
`That's it! I remember! She said it was my father? But how can that be he died before I was even born. But what if he didn't? That would mean…'
She gasped, her eyes widening in shock.
Kagome quickly turned to her side and shook Kouga on the shoulder, to wake him up.
When he didn't wake up, she patted his cheek with her small hand.
He shifted a little and then he cracked his cerulean eyes open.
“Kouga-kun, wake up I need to ask you something.”
Kouga turned his face to Kagome, then once he registered her words, he nodded and stretched as he sat up, a small yawn escaping his lips.
“Hai, Kagome, anything.”
“Can you smell me and see if you detect any demon blood in me?”
Now wide-awake Kouga gaped at Kagome in disbelief.
“What? Why would you have demon blood in you?”
“Don't ask just do this one favor for me. Please Kouga-kun.”
Letting a sigh escape his lips, he nodded and drew closer to her.
When he was close enough he drew in a deep breathe and stopped to analyze all the different scents.
His brow furrowed in confusion and then his eyes widened in disbelief.
`I detect a hint of demon blood in her! But it's faint, still it seems as if it's growing, is it possible that she is a half demon?'
“Well? Do you?” Kagome asked anxiously.
Kouga turned his attention back to Kagome's tense face.
He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He suddenly grabbed her and pulled her to him.
Nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck, he took in another deep breath. This time he could smell the demon blood was much stronger.
“How is this possible, why haven't I detected this earlier?” he asked himself, oblivious to Kagome's struggles to get free from his tightening grip.
“Kouga let go! You're hurting me!” Kagome cried in dismay.
Kouga finally noticed his tight grip on her and quickly let her go.
Kagome rubbed her forearms where new bruises were beginning to form.
“I…I'm sorry Kagome I didn't mean to.” Kouga managed to stammer out.
“ It's okay Kouga just tell me what do you smell.” She said, her lips curling onto a small.
“Yeah I smell Demon blood in you Kagome, but it seems to be getting stronger each minute.”
“Hmm I thought so, that explains why I'm no longer coughing up blood; my demon side is healing me.”
“But Kagome how the hell is that possible, you're a miko! I have never smelled any demon blood in you before.”
“I know Kouga, I'm just as surprised as you, I just figured out my father was a demon…” She trailed off.
“What!”
“Yeah my mother told me something in my dream, I now understand these dreams she is sending me, they aren't dreams at all, they are what will happen if I don't stop my father, but I don't understand, what does he have against me (or is it Inuyasha). But that doesn't make sense…” Kagome said more to herself than to Kouga.
Kouga was stunned at hearing this information.
`What? This is all so confusing, what is she talking about, her mother told her, in her dreams?'
“Kagome you're not making any sense, how can your mother tell you something in your dreams?”
Kagome lowered her eyes to her lap.
`How can I explain something that I don't fully understand myself?'
Biting her lip in frustration, she looked back up at Kouga.
“Kouga I can't explain it right now, but when I understand I'll tell you.” She finished.
She then shakily got to her feet.
“Kagome what are you doing? You're not strong enough to stand yet, please sit and rest a bit more.”
Kouga stood up in alarm, seeing the stubborn set of her jaw.
Once she steadied herself she looked back up into Kouga's pleading gaze.
“I'm strong enough, the strength will come, I know it will, plus I need to go to Inuyasha.”
Kouga scoffed and folded his arms.
“Why so he can desert you again? How can you forgive him after what that bakayaro did to you?”
“Kouga I've finally realized that it wasn't his fault, he was under a curse, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to turn into a full demon in the first place. I was wrong and now that I know it I need to go to him.”
Just then they heard a huge explosion come from the edge of the forest.
“Oh no Inuyasha.”
Japanese Translations:
Okaasan: mother
Hai: yes
Masaka: It can't be
A/N: OH now what happened? What was that big explosion? And Is Kagome really a demon if so then what kind? All these answers will be coming in the next three chapters. Well what did you guys think?
