InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Destines and Memories ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

B:

 

“K-Kouga?” Kagome asked. But she never got an answer, and, just as her world went black, she thought, `I'll never learn my limits, and I know it…'

 

N:

 

“Will she be alright?” Kouga asked Souta. “She's not going to…die…or anything, is she?”

 

“No, no.” Souta said, helping to lift Kagome higher into Kouga's arms, a concerned look on his face. “She'll be fine as long as she goes to the healers now. Come on, we need to get there soon.” Kouga nodded silently and followed Souta from the room.

 

“What about Sango?” Kouga asked, glancing back into the room. But there were already other, lower ranking, priests there, checking her pulse and brain waves.

 

“She'll be fine, my lord.” One of them said, looking up from his work. “Don't worry.” Kouga nodded, thankful that they had Shippou on their team. He might only be a kitsun, but he was a powerful one.

 

“Come on!” Souta said impatiently. “If we keep stopping we're never going to get her there in time and my sister will….” Kouga just nodded again and he and Souta ran down the rest of the corridor. Since it had been a long time ago, before the time chambers had been made, the healers wing was located on the other side of the castle.

 

“Damn it!” Souta said. They had come to another part of the castle that was being rebuilt. Kagome had ordered this only a few weeks ago, knowing that it needed to be done if they were to withstand an attack. “We're running out of time!”

 

Suddenly there was a tremendous crash to their north side. They were all, including the workers, thrown to the ground by the force of it. “Come on,” Kouga said, looking at Kagome with sad eyes. “Let's go back to Shippou and the others. I have an idea.” Souta, not caring what it really was at that moment, agreed and they ran back the way they had come.

 

A short while later they came panting back into the Time corridor and into Sango's room. “My Lords!” Shippou said, looking from one to the other. “What are you still doing here? Why do you still have the Lady?”

 

“Shut up,” Kouga said, his patience now none existent. “Do you have an extra Time bed for My Lady?” Everyone's eyes widened, though not Souta's or Kouga's.

 

“Is it really that serious, Lord?” Shippou asked, stepping forward. Kouga opened his mouth but it was Souta who said, “It is. It's either this or the Lady,” another crash though everyone stayed upright. “dies. There's no way for us to get the healers wing with all of the construction going on.” Another crash and they all swayed.

 

“Well?” Kouga said, his fangs baring in a Growl. “Do you or not?”

 

“Yes,” Shippou said, running out of the room to the other wall. “This way.” And he put his little hands on the stones there and spoke a few words. The wall turned into a door, which he jumped to open. “In here.” He said, leading the way in. “Place her on there.” He indicated a large bed in the center of the room.

 

“Why is it so big?” Asked Kouga as he set her down. He stroked her face and said, “She never did like big things.”

 

“It's to enhance her powers.” Souta said, inspecting the side of the bed. “Why are there inscriptions here?” he asked, running his hands over them. “And why did Kagome make them?”

 

“Sand back,” Shippou said. Both Kouga and Souta moved away. “The Lady had us make this in secret. She thought, I think knew, that she might one day need it.” A barrier formed around Kagome. No one had spoken anything so Souta and Kouga turned to Shippou who shrugged. “Her power. As for the inscriptions. They were also her doing. I don't know what they say, not sure anyone does but the Lady.”

 

“So what are we suppose to do now?” Kouga said. “If she can do all of this by herself why doesn't she just heal herself?”

 

Shippou shrugged. “Like I said, the Lady knew she might need this one day. Maybe…maybe she knows that she will have a better chance in the future to defeat the evil she felt.”

 

“What?” Kouga said. “What do you mean the evil she felt?”

 

“The Lady has been talking about felling some evil for the past few weeks.” He replied. At this Souta nodded as well.

 

“Yes,” he said. “She told me about it to.” He looked at Kouga, who had a hurt expression on his face.

 

“She never said a word to me,” he said. “She only said…” he was cut off by Kagome, who started to tremble…but they couldn't do anything for her wile she was behind that barrier. A roaring started and filled the room, but it wasn't from the numerous fires in the castle. It was coming from Kagome.

 

“What is she doing?” shouted Kouga. “Is this suppose to happen?”

 

“I don't know!” Shippou replied, watching his dear friend as a faint glow surrounded her. “She is doing all of this on her own!”

 

“She putting up a seal!” Souta shouted, edging away from her as the slight glow grew bigger. “She's going to seal whatever she feels somewhere so she can deal with it later!” he glanced at one side of the table she was on. “That's what some of these ruins are for!” he realized. “To help her powers grow as she sleeps!”

 

“Why can't she just wake up then?” Kouga shouted. But he never got an answer to that. Instead he saw Souta's eyes grow wide as he back all the way to the door…but it was locked.

 

“What is it?” Shippou asked, watching as Souta franticly tried to open the door.

 

“She's locked it!” he said. “She not only going to seal that demon…she's going to erase our memory of where she is!”

 

“What?” the others shouted un unison. But the reply they received was drowned out by the roaring become louder and the light around Kagome streaking out of her, striking the wall, and racing through the air. Next second, a terrible cry split the air and then…nothing.

 

They all blinked and glanced around. The table that Kagome had been on was gone. There was only some black stuff, after later inspection it turned out to be soot though no one really knew where it came from, on the floor where it had been. But they didn't notice any of this really.

 

“What…what happened?” Souta asked, looking around the room. “Where is my sister?”

 

“I don't know…” Kouga said, also looking around. “I don't remember…”

 

Shippou, though, sighed and looked out of the hole Kagome had made. “She didn't.” he said.

 

“Didn't what?” Kouga asked as they left the room to prepare for battle. Though he was concerned of where his Kagome was, he knew not to be to afraid. He knew, for some reason, that she was safe.

 

“She must have put a memory displacement charm on everyone.” Souta said, and Shippou nodded.

 

“Exactly what I was thinking, and going to say, Highness.” He smiled at Souta. “She must have had good reason though.”

 

They all nodded, went around a fine that was almost out, and then went their separate ways each going to where they were needed most. The small invasion that started soon turned into a full fledged war. Even though Naraku was not there to lead, another demon took over.

 

Kagome, usually the one in charge of battle plans and usually the one who knew what to do, where to strike, and how to keep most alive, wasn't there either. But she had taught everyone well, every soldier, priest, priestess, everyone knew what to do without her.

 

“She really did know she would need that one day…” Shippou said as he started to heal another victim.

 

“What was that?” someone near him asked.

 

“Nothing.” Shippou said, and finished setting a bone into place.
