~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Houshi…” Sango wearily asked.
“Yes?”
“Inuyasha has been gone a long time. I wonder if something happened to him…or Kagome. It’s making me worry.” Sango watched Kirara play with Shippo in the field as she wondered where they were.
Kirara heard her worries, and started wandering back to Sango, occasionally being tackled by Shippo. But as he saw her intents not changing, he wobbled his dizzy, twirling self over to Miroku’s side. Kirara purred as she reached Sango’s crossed legs, rubbing her side against them.
“Have no fears, Sango. Inuyasha can take care of himself….and Kagome.”
“Yeah, no worries Sango! Kagome’ll be back up on her feet in no time!” added Shippo.
Sango smiled at his nonchalant remark, nonetheless she still worried for Kagome. And besides, Inuyasha would never let anything happen to her, just as Miroku said. Sango looked at the child fox. He was much too carefree for a kitsune. But then again, he was still very young.
She did not know what to think of all this. She specialized in destroying demons and knowing medication for poisons, gases, and infected wounds, not about this philosophical, scientific nonsense. She didn’t understand it. And Miroku had yet to explain what affect the spell had on Kagome, or what his remedy, which he also had yet to gather, was supposed to do and how it was supposed to work. Sango sighed, exasperated. What was her role in all of this going to be? she wondered. Was her friend going to be okay?
~~~With Inuyasha~~~
“Inuyasha.” Kagome kept saying.
She looked down at Inuyasha’s sitting self, holding her own ‘sleeping‘ form. Her thoughts had not been wrong. She had become separate from her body, and she was in reality this time, not an illusion. Thank the Gods for that guess. Now, if only she could find a way to communicate with Inuyasha!
Kagome floated above a tree limb, as if she was sitting on it. She concentrated hard, and thought of only a few things: What if she tried using his immobile body, when he was sleeping. His mind wouldn’t be in control of his body when he’s sleeping; it’s in its own sleeping subconscious state. No, because then he wouldn’t know she had used his body, which would probably make him really angry. And the others…Shippo might believe him, so might Miroku and Kirara, but…maybe not Sango. She was too realistic for this. What if she sent some of my priestess energy to Miroku! Yeah, that would work! Except… how would she do that? She doesn’t even know how to shield herself with it, let alone release some of her energy without a physical body or even a tangible object to send it through. What if…no that wouldn’t work, would it?
She turned around again to look at Inuyasha. Kaede had said that the prayer beads were always connected to her voice command, unless taken off of the bearer by the commander. Did it matter that she was the only one who could hear her voice?
She thought about it, and decided to give it a shot. Anything was worth trying at this point.
Kagome inhaled a deep breathe, and yelled, “SIT BOY!” as loud as she could.
She saw birds in the distance take off, little animals scurrying into their burrows, but no Inuyasha falling to the ground. At least she knew that the animals could hear her. But did that mean that she was in a higher frequency plain of existence? That meant she could still communicate with everyone…or just the people with sensitive ears. She giggled and twisted in her spot. Then there was movement out of the corner of her eye.
She glanced over at Inuyasha, who was slightly awake. He stuck his pinky finger in his ear and popped it. “What the hell was that?” he said.
Suddenly, Kagome’s physical mouth started to move in a very familiar pattern…and Inuyasha was hurled head first to the ground. Luckily, he hadn’t taken Kagome’s body with him.
For a second, Inuyasha forgot that Kagome was not awake. He had not realized those were the words she had spoken, let alone open her mouth.
He jumped back up to his branch and yelled, “Goddamnit, wench! Why did ya have to g-” he was cut short, amazed at the fact that she had said that. “Oh, my god! Kagome, Kagome!! Talk to me more. Sit me more, yell at me, just keep talking!”
Kagome could not stop laughing. She was so happy that it had worked, and the look on Inuyasha’s when he new she had been trying to reach him just now was priceless.
“INUYASHA! CAN YOU HEAR ME?” she screamed.
A few minutes later, he stuck his finger in his ear, popped it, and grimaced again. Then, Kagome’s physical lips started moving again, and Inuyasha saw it this time. His fuzzy dog ear went straight to her lips, swiveled toward her, and he heard her barely say, “-You hear me?” At the slight, warm breathe coming from her mouth, his ear twitched, but stayed on her.
“Yes, yes I hear you!”
“GOOD! WAIT HEAR A MINUTE!”
His face scrunched up, but he didn’t stick his finger in his ear this time. “Why?!”
“BECAUSE I’M GOING TO GET KIRARA TO GET EVERYONE ELSE TO COME HERE!!”
Yet again, his face scrunched up. He nodded his head and settled under Kagome to bring her down to the forest floor, as if they were standing together.
The ethereal Kagome felt warm as she was set above him. She felt giddy all of a sudden, and the butterfly feeling leaped into her stomach.
She went up to Inuyasha, who had laid her body down on the ground, and asked, “CAN YOU FEEL THIS?”
She put her hands on his cheeks, and leaned upward.
Inuyasha felt a warmth he had never felt before in his cheeks, and it wasn’t a blush. He looked at the tree in front of him. To Kagome, it looked like he was looking straight into her eyes. “yes,” he replied.
“How about this?” She did not yell it. He did not need to hear it.
She leaned even further upward, and kissed him. His hand came up and touched his cheek, then slid through Kagome to his lips. His eyes went wide and he gulped. Did he dare think what he thought she was doing?! No, she wouldn’t do that. Its probably just… but there was no explanation waiting for him. He couldn’t accept it though.
Then the warmth left his cheeks, and eventually his lips. She looked at him, but he could not see her. He stared through her still, with wide, unbelieving eyes, at the tree. She turned around, and willed herself to glide as fast as she could to where Kirara and the others were.
The butterflies had not left yet, and her heart was beating at a fast rate.
Finally, she reached Kirara, who was sitting near a log away from the others cleaning he paw. “KIRARA! THIS IS KAGOME! FOLLOW ME BACK TO MY BODY. PLEASE BRING EVERYONE WITH YOU. THANK YOU!”
Kirara swapped one paw for the other. When she was done with her paw, Kirara stood up and trotted over to Sango. She then tugged on Sango’s kimono and mewed at her. Kirara started to walk off and then she transformed a few feet away from everyone else.
“What is it, Kirara?” Sango approached her, and patted her neck.
“Kirara wants us to go with her somewhere.” Shippo supplied.
Sango was already up and straddling Kirara. Then Miroku jumped up behind Sango with Shippo dangling on to the ends of his robes. “Houshi, don’t you dare try anything.” she gave a menacing glare at him.
“You distrust me so much, dear Sango! You should have no fears of such lechery, especially from me.”
Sango huffed at this. Shippo giggled, then scrambled up Miroku’s shoulder to get a better view.
Kagome led the way to where her physical body and Inuyasha was, yelling at the top of her lungs the whole time, “THIS WAY KIRARA! OVER HERE, KIRARA! WRONG WAY! WE‘RE ALMOST THERE, KIRARA!”
Kagome set down next to Inuyasha, who was still standing in the very spot she had left him in. Same expression, too. Kirara set down behind Inuyasha, who flinched a bit and advanced on them. “Whadja have to do that for? Don’t sneak up on me like that!!”
“Sorry,” Sango told Inuyasha, “What’s up his butt?” she asked Miroku. He shrugged.
Inuyasha whirled around after Sango answered him, and scanned the surrounding area. Then, his eyes caught Kagome, laying on the ground. They stayed on her, and absently, his hand wandered up to his mouth.
“Inuyasha?” Sango asked.
“What?” he asked calmly, not turning around. His hand fell from his face as he said it.
“Um…why are we all here?”
“I guess Kagome told you to come…one of you. Probably Shippo.”
“No, it wasn’t me Inuyasha. She told Kirara to bring everyone here.”
“INUYASHA, TELL THEM HOW I COMMUNICATE!!”
Inuyasha was still looking at Kagome’s physical form when she said this. Her lips started moving and he darted over to her, and knelt down. From Sango, Miroku, and Shippo’s point of view, it looked like Inuyasha was kissing Kagome. The looked surprised and Shippo took a few steps backwards, confused at the sudden emotional display.
“She said for me to tell you how she’s been communicating.” Inuyasha turned to face them, still kneeling over Kagome.
Relief flooded Shippo as he plopped down on the grass. Sango and Miroku relaxed, realizing what had happened.
“She says she’s on…another plain for existence?! WHAT? Kag- sorry…alright, um, she’s on another plain of existence, in another, higher frequency…um, she can talk to people who have sensitive ears, like me, Shippo, Kirara, and any other keenly-sensed animal/demon, only by yelling though. So don’t make her yell…a lot or you’ll regret it later. I can hear everything you guys are saying, and even though…it may seem weird that you’re talking to thin air, say whatever you want…me to hear. Just make sure you have a friendly demon near you…When I yell, they’ll probably scrunch up their faces and do something…to pop their ears. Something very useful would probably be a bat demon, she says.”
“Whoa…my head hurts.” replied Shippo.
Miroku was sitting on the ground, rubbing his chin. “Hm. Alright.”
Sango was speechless.
What in all hell was going to happen now?! Pigs flying?! Sango thought, I would bet on it. I could believe anything now.
