InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha's unknown heritage (Yes boring title I know!) ❯ Energy and the start of the summoning ( Chapter 18 )

Chapter 18) Energy and the start of the summoning.

Training area ~~ 2 days later ~~

Lina looked up at the training area where Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were once again practicing with their swords.

They were up to speed now and were fighting without putting each other down. Each seemed to be studying the other as they fought and had improved considerably. It was even to the point of where neither could touch the other without coming to swordplay.

Smiling Lina shook her head. She had gone as far as she could with the two in the way of swordplay. Correcting their stances and helping with a few moves that they were both implying now. Also she had gotten the two to work together as a team in working to improve each other, though begrudgingly.

Over the last two days she had also given them the gift of a new attack form.

Ki blasts were now pretty easy on the two. Sesshomaru could gather one with more speed, but Inuyasha could make a more powerful blast. Yesterday evening she had even started to teach them the Kamehameha. Inuyasha had promptly in his impatience, took out a whole acre of trees in the process.

Through it all, Lina had known that tonight was the night. She could feel his presence growing stronger in the back of her mind.

He already knew where she stood on training the two in their swordplay and in the energy attacks, but he was the one who was better at swordplay and her magic, so her lifemate would show soon she was sure.

Refocusing on the two before her, she called a stop to the practice and told them that they were now going to practice doing the Kamehameha.

Both brothers, now in routine, brought Lina the practice swords and she promptly put them into their shed. The orange barrier dropped and the practice field deserted.

Lina and the other two went over to another field where several posts were lined up at the far side with craters in the ground behind them. Looking over at the two, Lina spoke warningly, although they had heard this a few times over the last few days anyway. "Remember to please try to aim for the posts only. Also tell me when you need any help." Thusly saying this, she surrounded herself with a light yellow phosphorescence and walking over, stood at the end near a pile of new posts at the end of the field.

Both brothers had no reaction to this or the yellow glow. The day before they had learned why she did this when Inuyasha had done his Kamehameha. As he had aimed at a post and shot it, Lina was close at the time. At first he thought he had killed her, but after the dust cleared, she had just stood there with an exasperated look and griped him out. The two had puzzled over it for a short while before realizing the yellow was for this purpose alone. So they had not worried about her getting to close to their blasts again, unlike before the incident where they were cautious. Lina had realized a short time later about this when their blasts got stronger after the incident. Resulting in further griping about holding themselves back, gaining her puzzled and disbelieving looks.

`She wanted them not to care for her safety?' was pretty much the shared thought, gaining them annoyed looks from Lina upon reading this in them. Shrugging, they had continued with the training.

Lina looked on the two from her position near the posts. She had gone through ten of them so far and both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha seemed to be tiring from using their Ki so much in one evening. Clasping their hands at the wrist once more, both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha pulled their hands back as blue light

condensed there.

An echoing sound of, "KA ME HA ME……….HAAAA!!!!!", was heard from both brothers as they released their attacks. Before them they took out the posts and a good distance of trees before Lina looked at the exhausted faces of her grandsons.

"That's enough for now you two." Lina said with concern. "You both need to rest before we even try this again later." Lina continued as she forcibly dragged the two towards the main lodge as they faintly grumbled.

After much pushing and shoving, Lina finally got the two up the stairs and into the main room. Still grumbling the two complied and admitting only to themselves their exhaustion, each went to their rooms for a well-deserved nap.

Sighing with relief that they were out for now, Lina thought about how much time to let them sleep.

Since it was mid afternoon, around two in the evening, if the sundial was still in its proper place after all the ground shaking. Lina decided to wake them up around dusk. Thinking about it again for awhile Lina redecided to let them get up whenever they were going to.

Lina felt for her lifemate's energy and reached out for his mind.

Feeling the mental block he had erected against her, Lina decided to get ready for her mate's arrival.

An hour later~~ Main lodge ~~

Inuyasha was in a sound sleep. His mind drifting as he snuggled unconsciously, further into his bedding. As pictures of Kagome came upon him.

Gazing down upon her from his position near her doorway, Inuyasha sighed longingly as he looked upon the girl curled up on her bed. Clothed in a bright blue shirt and black sweats, Kagome was lying on her side as she held up a shard of the jewel to the light. Her expression of utter fascination and the feeling of contentment and happiness soothed the hanyou.

For once she didn't seem to be stressed out about any tests or worrying about all kinds of little things. She seemed happy in a way that he had not seen her in for a long time.

Studying her again, he had to admit he liked the change. Suddenly a bright smile seemed to appear upon her face. Another contented smile and sigh escaped her lips as she redirected her gaze to her window. Looking at it and up through to the sky, she relaxed and shut her eyes. Still smiling, she spoke. "Inuyasha. I know you are near somewhere. I can feel you."

Surprised the hanyou looked around. This was a dream wasn't it? He remembered falling asleep in his room and the training of the day. Nowhere did he recall coming here.

Feeling a tug at his mind and some slight confusion, Inuyasha walked towards the resting Kagome and stopped at the side of her bed. As he reached down he was surprised when he felt Kagome but did not touch her. It seemed that there was a force about an inch from the surface of her skin that he could touch, but no farther. Interestingly enough though, even when it didn't look like he was touching her, he could feel it like he was. Puzzling over it, he felt her shiver and chuckle softly.

Reaching out to touch again though, he suddenly felt a forceful touch to his mind and heard a voice to echo it in Kagome's room.

"Everyone meet me at the well clearing. I need to show you all something of great importance. Kagome, if you would. Please join us as soon as you can." As Lina's voice faded. Kagome's eyes opened and she stared through Inuyasha.

Once again puzzling it and moving away from the bed. He watched Kagome put on her shoes and followed her down, listening to her tell her mother bye, and start towards the well. Feeling a wrenching as he left the house, Inuyasha awakened. Disoriented, he looked around his room before standing.

Leaving the room, he found to his interest, that Sesshomaru was already there, and starting for the darkened doorway.

Following him, Inuyasha made his way for the well.
