Chapter Seven:
"Shall we?" Sly held out his hand for her to take and Kagme nodded, a smile on her lips as they headed down to the dinning room. The others were, no doubt, waiting for them.
The walk through the halls was silent. Sly guided her around the turns with his arm around her waist and her side pressed firmly against his. It was obvious to anyone he wasn't planning to leave her side that night. Not that she minded of course. They finally reached the great oak doors that lead to the dinning hall and waited while the servant opened them. As they walked in Kagome took the time to look around. There were a frew wall ornaments of different kinds around and a few sides tables that had vases of flowers on them, no doubt Rin's doing. The place had a vaulting cathedral ceiling which took Kagomes breath away and windows on two sides of the room let vast amounts of light in. There was a long table in the center of the room currentley but the plce looked like more of a ball room than a dinning room.
Sesshoumaru sat at the head of the table with Rin to his right and Shippou sitting beside her. Sango was seated at his left and looked a bit nervous at the arrangment, although she was distracted a bit by Miroku who sat on her other side. There was only one seat left at the end of the table where she assumed Sly would sit. Just as she was wondering where she would sit Shippou jumped up from his seat and ran over to her.
"You look beautifull Kagome! Come on! Lets eat." He pulled her over to where he was sitting and she sat down as he crawled into her lap. She laughed at his antics and ate her soup while he talked to Rin under her arm. She caught bits and pieces of the conversation, it was something about Jaken, dresses, and torture. Kagome had a brief feelings of pity for the toad before Sly dragged her attention away from the children.
"Kagome?" She glanced over to Sly who looked concerned at her. Her eyeborws nit in confussion and he glanced at the others at the table briefly before her gaze wandered back to Sly's. Sesshoumaru was speaking softly with an attendant, Sango and Miroku were off in their own little world, and the kids were planning Jakens next torture session.
"Yes?" What is going on? Why do you look so worried?
"Your eyes, they are glowing a soft purple hue." Kagome gasped..
What? She concentrated on her power and closed her eyes. How had she not noticed this? It was a soft thrum that pulsed in time with her heart. It had steadily been growing since she and Sly had shared memories. It's almost as if a door has been opened. When she had let him into her soul, she had opened the doors for him, but in doing so she unwittingly released the powers that had laid dorment inside thoes doors. Only now it had nowhere to go. It hummed through her body with no outlet or release, the buildup would kill her if she could not find a steady release for it.
Kagome jumped up from the table, clutching her heat as if in pain but it was not pain that held her, but fear. She jumped back from the table and bent down on her knees, her hands resting on the floor. Her power manifested itself at her hands and seeped through the floors.
She distantly heard shouts but could not concern herself with them at the moment. What would she do with this power?
Heal.
Heal this land, protect it and keep it safe.
Nurish it and make it flourish.
Kagome briefly felt a fire inside of her, it burned pleasently at the back of her mind, a slight tingle. She felt a rush of wind blowing up at her from the ground and realized with no little amount of shock that it was from the power she was releasing rom her hands. The slow seep of her power into the ground was now a rush, a tsunami crashing into the floor and spreading throughout the western lands.
Sly, the only person besides Kagome who knew what was going on, tried to reasure her fiends she was ok while restraining Sesshoumaru from killing her at the same time.
When the power finally left her Kagome felt reengergized and smiled brightly as she bounced to her feet. "Well! That felt great!" Sly laughed at her and let go of Sesshoumaru when he felt it was safe to.
"What the hell have you done, wench?!" Sesshoumaru growled out to her.
Kagome frowned at him but decided that when he knew the entire situation he would be less likely to slit her throat open.
"Well there was such a tremendous amount of power buildup in my body I didn't know what to do with it. I didn't notice it untill too late so I did the first thing I could think of. I sent it out to your lands. I told it to heal them, protect and keep it safe as well as to nurish it and make it flourish. I couldn't think of anything else at the time." She blushed a bit and looked down.
"What caused this sudden burst of power Kagome? How did you overcome that barrier that held it back before?" Miroku asked, curiously.
Kagome blushed darker and looked down, mumbling something underneath her breath. When Miroku stated he couldn't hear her Kagome looked up at them, "Sly and I shared each others memories and I guess it kind of opened the doors to our souls to each other. I can only assume that it opened that barrier I kept coming across too and now I have full access to my powers. I just need an outlet for it since I can't keep it in my body but I hadn't noticed it untill Sly pointed out that my eyes were glowing." Kagome shrugged and prayed that the next question wouldn't come.
Her prayers were not answered.
"Why did you two share memories?" Sango looked confused, Miroku was the same, Shippou looked shocked as did Sesshoumaru, Rin just blinked up at everyone and shrugged, going back to her meal.
"I have found my mate." Sly stepped in, saving Kagome from the embaressment of the situation, "After a youkai mates they gain their spouses memories. Of course Kagome and I have not mated yet but I can only assume that the rush in memories was due to her being a miko. There has never been a youkai and miko mating before so things are going to be slightly different because of her powers. Of course it will only be a matter of time before I claim her propperly." Sly grinned at her with a predatory smile and Kagome shivvered at the promise that lay behind it.
"Congradulations!" Miroku shouted as he patted the tomatoe version of Kagome on the back.
Sango walked up to Sly, a serious expression on her face, "If you hurt her, so help you God..." She trailed off but her first was still shaking in his face. Then she went over to Kagome with a smile and put in her congradulations as well.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes, "What happened to your revenge plot agaisnt Naraku?" Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing upon hearing that name.
"Nothing has changed," Slys face was hard and set with determination and hatred. "I will kill him and live out my life happily. I will not risk her life in this matter. So we are not mating untill I have killed him. Although," His expression lightened a bit with humor as he continued, "It is going to be hell with her tempting me day in and day out. She's a vixen!" He pointed an accusing finger at Kagome as she blushed so deep Sango worried if she would ever return to her normal color.
Authors notes: YAY! It didn't take me too long to update this time! What do you think? You'll get an explanation for why he wants revenge against naraku in the next chapter. And I promise a lemon in either thenext chapter or the chapter after that. I PROMISE! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! *slowly comes out of hiddign spot* But anyways! I just moved into this new place on the lake so things have been a bit hectic but I'll try to get the next chapter out soon.
In the meantime you could always read this really great story called "This Mess We're In". It's at mediaminer.org but I can't rememebr the authors name off the top of my head. Anyways: Kagome has gone back where she belongs, but so has someone else. What exactly happened? They don't know yet either. K/Sess.
Thats the basic summary of it and its REALLY GOOD! It took me 6 or 7 hours to read the whole thing but chores are so over-rated anyways. *grins* See ya next chapter!
