Hidden Powers of the Heart, Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. All characters belong to R. Takahashi

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo stopped dead. Light and wind rushed to them with such force they were almost blown away.

“Do you feel that? That is Kagome's aura!” Miroku yelled over the surge of the wind.

“We need to get to her, Kirara, lets go!” Sango called once the surge was over. The members of the group were filled with hope and dread at the same time. The flash of light let them know she was alive at least until that time. Abandoning their search for Inuyasha, they sprinted in the direction of the light blast.

 

Kagome called the shards from wherever Kouga was running. She also called the shard from Kohaku's back. Her heart went out to Sango. She sent a silent apology to the wolf demon when she felt the two shards coming towards her. The two shards came to a stop in front of her and she plucked them out of midair. Elation filled her as the jewel was completed. Her power increased a hundred fold. She turned to Yukane. He was laid out on the ground, head up and looking at her in fear. He was still alive! She extended her powers out to the battered man. He screamed once as his body returned to that of the young boy he once was. Kohaku lay on the ground amidst the chaos.

Kagome looked at the jewel. She thought back to how much destruction and angst the seemingly innocent looking jewel had caused. She had to get rid of it now. Taking a deep breath and lifting her head to the stars, she began to make her wish.

“Midoriko, please hear me. I wish for everyone who were hurt by Naraku recover and please let Inuyasha achieve what he has always wanted!” she called. The jewel lifted from her hand and began to glow until it blinded Kagome. She was suddenly knocked back for all of the power contained in the jewel. Her vision went white as the jewel expended the last of its energy. A figure emerged from the light

“Kagome, child, you have done well,” the slightly transparent figure said. The voice was that of a woman. Kagome realized who she was almost immediately.

“Midoriko?” was all she could say. She was in awe at the amount of power she felt radiating from the center of her.

“Yes, child. You have freed me from my efforts, and for that, your unselfish wish will be granted. Rest now, Kagome. You served the gods well.” She replied before she vanished. Kagome fell to the ground as the last of her power left her. Her wounds opened once more and she fell deeper and deeper into darkness.

 

Inuyasha was roused from his daze by Kikyo's scream of pain. He jumped up and watched the person he thought was Kikyo disintegrate before his eyes. The spell wore off, and the face of Kikyo disappeared and turned to that of Naraku. It was a golem! Inuyasha spun around when he felt an enormous power coming his way. He was met with a great pink light down in a valley. It was Kagome's power! She was in danger!

He was about to take off in her direction when he suddenly felt his blood begin to rage. What was happening?! He fell to his knees in an attempt to ride out the waves of power rushing over him. His blood raged, and his skin began to crawl. His eyes glowed red for a moment before returning to their beautiful gold. Purple streaks slashed their way down his cheeks and his claws grew suddenly.

When he was finally able to stand, he was shocked. His strength had increased several times over. He felt better than he ever had in his life. He raced to the small pond by the village and gasped in shock when he saw his reflection. He had a tail! He looked like Sesshomarou more than ever! His features were more refined now, and he was actually taller. Was it possible? He was a full demon! He could hardly believe it. How had it happened? His head jerked up once more as the power-filled light died down. Kagome, he thought. She was in danger!

Assuming he now had all of the powers that Sesshomarou possessed, he concentrated on creating a cloud on which to travel on. He was instantly lifted up and whisked away toward the dying power surge. Wait for me Kagome! He silently called out to her. His fear for her had never been stronger. He knew now she was no longer just a mere friend. He knew he would die without her. His speed increased as his anxiety spread to every fiber of his body.

 

Sesshomarou stopped in his tracks and turned to the west. That strange light, it felt like that human wench his half-breed brother dragged around with him. His eyes widened slightly as Naraku's aura disappeared completely. He had been following it relentlessly for weeks now, unable to find his domain. His anger flared as he put the pieces together. The miko dare infringe on his prey? She will pay.

He turned on his heal and soared off to the west, leaving a startled Jaken and Rin to follow behind on Ah-un.

 

Everyone seemed to find the new clearing at the same time. Miroku and his group skidded to a stop only to find Inuyasha doing the same thing. Sango gasped when she saw Inuyasha's new features. The look on Inuyasha's face, however, made them all look in the opposite direction.

“Sesshomarou!” Inuyasha growled, “What the hell are you doing here!” he growled, but was cut off from anything further when Sango gasped.

“Oh No! Kagome!” she cried out, and started for her friend laying on the ground in the center of the destruction. She stopped suddenly when Sesshomarou appeared in front of Kagome and picked up her limp form.

“She has taken my prey, and will answer for it. Follow if you will, but your miko must answer for what she has done.” He looked over to Inuyasha, and eyebrow lifting at his new appearance. He looked once more to Kagome, and vanished.
