Chapter 19) The summoning

~~ Kagome's Well~~

Kagome was pulling herself up and out of the well as she felt Inuyasha nearby.

Frowning, she wondered what she had felt a few moments ago.

She had felt Inuyasha in her room and thought she felt him touching her, when she opened her eyes, there was no one there, even if she still felt him.

Shrugging mentally, she crested the top of the well and looked around. The sight before her was interesting.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were standing together to one side without the usual tension between the two.

Kaede and the rest of the shard hunting crew were there to the right of them, along with a pair of Kitsune's off to their right and further off. Kagome was halfway towards Inuyasha, when she noticed that Shippo hadn't launched himself at her.

Looking at the little one whose demeanor seemed to have drastically changed and was now following her. She made a mental note to ask Lina what the hell had happened while she was away.

Almost everyone was acting funny to her so far.

Reaching Inuyasha's side, Kagome got to her surprise, a possessive and affectionate hug and Kiss from the hanyou as his brother looked on impassively.

Feeling a tug at her pants leg, Kagome looked down upon the kit that had finally seemed to get the nerve to touch her.

Kneeling down and holding Inuyasha's hand at the knowledge that he would start growling at the kit at any moment, she looked at him.

"Are you going to stay long this time Kagome?" Shippo asked in a small inquiring voice from his position in front of her.

"Yes Shippo." Kagome said softly as she petted the little kit on the head.

Shippo turning then redirected his gaze at the irritated hanyou and visibly became nervous. Running his foot in the ground in a tension-relieving move he gathered breath before starting his practiced speech. "I'm sorry Inuyasha for all the times I've made fun of you."

Inuyasha stopped his sub growling right then and stared at the kitsune in shock. Hearing a small rumbling sound from Kateru in the distance, the kit blew out another breath before continuing. "I'm also sorry for all the times I didn't listen to you also. I'm just sorry." Seemingly done with his short speech. Inuyasha heard an approving woof from the older kitsune before Shippo visibly relaxed.

Inuyasha, coming out of the shock, slowly allowed himself to smile warmly down upon the kit.

"Truce?" Inuyasha asked the kit as he kneeled down beside Kagome and held out a clawed hand toward the kit.

"Truce." The kit said with a big smile and sparkling eyes as he accepted the hand. Then launched himself at Kagome for a tempered hug.

Entering the clearing, Lina let off a sub sonic woof off approval to all that could hear it before smiling warmly at the group.

"I see that we are all present for my little event." Lina said in a warm voice as she walked over to the edge of the well and turned towards the group she had gathered.

"This is a special occasion for me, since my mate will be here shortly and you will be meeting him for the first time." Lina looked over at her grandsons and noted no real reaction for the two, but the others were wearing a puzzled look.

" Also since this is such a special occasion, I will be providing the fireworks and I was also going to show off a little." Smiling at the group of now all puzzled looks she chuckled softly.

"But this also serves a second purpose." Lina said with sudden sobriety and with a sudden darkened look and a feel of slight malice about her presence, she continued. "I would like to also use this chance to warn your Naraku about just what he is to deal with if he fools around with my family and friends." A smile of such frightening malice and aggression crossed her face as she lowered her head to hide her expression as fast as possible. Inuyasha and his brother, as well as Kagome, caught this look and was surprised at her protectiveness. The others though, even if two of them knew Lina better than the others, stepped back from the feeling of such tangible aggression.

Lina looked up after being able to school her expression. Smiling slightly she visibly shook as she calmed herself.

Smiling widely once again after a moment while calm, Lina looked reassuringly at the group.

Inuyasha heard Kagome gasp and her eyes open wide a few moments later, before he himself felt the surge of power emanating from Lina.

Before his eyes, she was starting to swirl with a bright white power. Before he could blink though, him, Kagome, Sesshomaru, Kateru and his mate, and Shippo were all enclosed in clear barriers.

"Do not worry. The barriers are for your protection only." Lina explained to the group from her position near the well. "All those with demon blood or as open to power as Kagome are being protected from this form of my magic." Lina said calmly and reassuringly.

"This form of my magic is the least powerful of my magics. But it has the power to purify anything. I did not want to purify any of you or overwhelm anyone." Lina continued, as her power seemed to keep rising to Inuyasha's surprise.

He had never seen a miko, let alone a youkai with such powerful purifying magic before.

By this time, Lina was swirling in a cloud of wispy white columns of purifying magics. Lina was aglow from the inside as well and a gentle breeze lifted her hair which the magic had made sparkle visibly.

Lina closed her eyes and began mumbling something, which began to gather a rhythm and became a musical song that the magic let drift from her position in the clearing, each note almost sparkling visibly. (avril lavigne's with you)

~I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Lina's magic kept rising as the song progressed and soon she was lighting up the night like a high beam light bulb. Clouds suddenly threatened from above and thunder and lightning boomed around the group in the clearing, a light misting of rain began to fall.

~Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Inuyasha looked up and around suddenly as he felt another youkai power coming towards the group at great speeds from the east of them. Puzzlingly it seemed to be beating in rhythm with Lina's as she continued her song towards the heavens.

~I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everythigns a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Suddenly a deep blue youkai power began to circle the clearing from the tree line. It matched Lina's power surge exactly and the dark haired youkai circling the group at a fast speed, soon began to visibly swirl with his own magic. Gold flecked, brown eyes peered back at Inuyasha inquiringly as he circled. Catching the light from Lina, the stranger's eyes seemed to glow with intensity as they looked upon her.

~Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea yeah yeahhh

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Slowly Lina and the stranger's youkai seemed to grab out to one another. Connecting, the two youkai powers twined around each other, visibly combining after awhile as the youkai came down from his circling the clearing. The youkai came upon Lina and finally held her from behind as their youkai combined and flared out with such force that anyone not in a barrier was thrown back off their feet. Inuyasha clutched Kagome to himself, as he felt a prick of unease as he could almost feel the purifying power pour off the pair, through the thick, see through barrier that enclosed him, Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Shippo.

Looking over at the Kitsune pair not far from them, he watched in interest, as they seemed to be visibly trying to relax themselves against their instincts to cower at the power from the two.

~Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

Swirling with power, feelings of intense peace and love poring from the two.

Inuyasha could only stare at the pair in the clearing. They were pulsing with so much power that he was almost afraid to be so close to them.

Suddenly upon the last of the song, the two's power seemed to recede into them and after a while in which he thought they were powering down, he got a shock.

All the power he had felt a moment ago, the frightening intensity, burst up from the two like the mushroom cloud he had seen in one of Kagome's books.

The power rolled up and then, like a sunam, rushed out and over the land.

Staring at the two in worry. He watched as the song faded and Lina turned back and was kissed softly on the lips by the youkai that was her mate.
