Chapter 27) Set him free

The next morning~~

Morning light streamed through the trees and the twit of birds filtered softly through the air as everyone awakened.

Corba had made herself comfortable and slept on Kaede's hut over the night. She had done her self-introductions quite well and made a fast friend out of Kagome.

Lina and Joseph were once again under the tree in the fields, under their buffalo hides.

Kouga and his group were sleeping under some pelts as they clustered around Kaede's hut. Seemingly a fur carpet in places.

Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo, slept together in the tall grass, not far from Lina and Joseph. Inuyasha had to resort to the Invisibility spell again, since Kouga wouldn't leave them alone.

Miroku and Sango, coming to a agreement, that Kaede was being harassed by wolves as it was, decided to sleep in as companionable silence as the two could reach, under some trees near the bridge across from Kaede's.

Kateru and Zera slept again in some deep grass along a hillside near the village, while Sesshomaru slept in the same tree as the day before.

After about two hours of everyone awakening and Kouga having to kick his pack awake, everyone was around Kaede's hut once again.

Lina spoke up to the group as most stared at her groggily. "Ok everyone. We are going to be starting training again today. I will be training Kagome and Miroku magics after I remove his curse. If you want to stick around for that you can."

Lina finished as Miroku brightened and smiled sleepily at her with joy.

"Inuyasha and Sesshomaru will return to the training area with Joseph today, but I will be showing it to Kagome later on today since she asked." Inuyasha looked over at Kagome with a speculative look before directing it on Lina as she smirked at him before continuing.

"Kateru and Zera will be staying here to train Shippo, since this area is the safest from Naraku right now." Kateru nodded his rust colored head as his black eyes twinkled. Zera on the other hand combed her clawed hand through her obsidian tresses and her eyes twinkled at her mate. Walking over to Shippo, she picked his sleepy form up and rested him against her flowing white kimono.

"Kouga, you will be training with Corba, as well as any of your pack that would care to learn as well. Your training ground will be the forest between the village and the training grounds. Most of the skills you will be learning from her will be best used there." Lina smiled as her announcement made Kouga's eyes widen as he stared at Corba with a pained look.

Lina smiled inwardly, she was going to get Kouga yet. Corba was just waiting for the right man, she had said so a hundred times before. Smiling outwardly now, Lina made sure her evil grin wasn't directed at anyone in particular; it wouldn't do if they got suspicious.

"Ok on with first business. If you would come with me Miroku." Lina said as she put her hand abound the wrist of his cursed one. Dragging him a good distance away to a flat field to one side of the village, she pointed him towards the forest and began to explain what she was going to do.

Lina turned to face Miroku, coming into him field of vision to look into his eyes. He seemed pensive for a moment as he looked towards his cursed hand and them back at Lina.

Smiling warmly she spoke. "Miroku, your curse isn't that bad really. We will take it off and then you will have to learn to control your wind tunnel. Is that understood?" Lina looked into his eyes for acknowledgement as she smiled encouragingly at her grandson. Receiving a nod slowly, Lina looked down at the hand. "Now I am going to put a small barrier on your hand. Ok? It will allow me to remove the rosary, so I can remove the curse."

Miroku looked scared for a moment, as he looked at Lina in absolute horror. Shaking his head viciously no. Lina tried to comfort him with a look and stroking his cursed hand soothingly.

"Now Miroku, you know my barriers are strong and nothing will happen to you or your friends. It will not affect anything and it wont suck in a thing. Ok?" Lina soothed as she looked into his eyes. Slowly he relaxed and after a tense silence he nodded in acquiesce.

Circling her hand around his cursed one, Lina created a small white barrier that circled his hand and extended down to his elbow that glowed softly.

Looking up to make sure he was focused on her, Lina stuck her hands into the barrier and slowly released the rosary confining it. Feeling his panic start to rise, Lina flipped around to trap his arm under hers where he could not see what she was doing.

As he struggled with her, Lina finally released the wind tunnel. It sucked at her hands inside the barrier before they started to glow green. Lina closed her eyes as Miroku started to feel his strength leave him. Panicked now he fought her iron grip on his arm.

Lina's hands glowed brighter and brighter green as little zips of white light came off Miroku's arm to brighten the glow. As the green turned neon in color, Lina swiftly pressed both palms of her hand over Miroku's wind tunnel. For a moment it seemed to be sucking them in until they seemed to be resting just against his palm. Slowly as she pressed harder, the wind stopped and Miroku's hand pulsed greed with hers. With a loud sizzling sound and quite a bit of whispy black smoke from the space between Lina and Miroku's palms. All was quiet.

Miroku, now thoroughly exhausted, could only gape as Lina released his arm and the barrier dropped.

Studying his palm in morbid fascination, he noted the dime sized black circle in the middle of his palm. Scratching at it for a short time, he looked up tiredly at Lina. "Thank you." He all but whispered as he finally noted that he and Lina were in the middle of a bright white, ten-foot wide barrier.

Everyone was watching with expressions from shock to anger, anger mainly from Inuyasha who had yet to put away Tetsaigua. Apparently thinking that Lina was hurting Miroku during the process.

Smiling wearily Miroku acknowledged that maybe his fighting Lina during the process couldn't have helped.

As the barrier fell from around Lina and Miroku, Lina moved out of the way as Kagome and everyone rushed in to check on their comrade.

Smiling softly at the weary Miroku, she shared a look of gratitude and understanding with him as Kagome started to organize everyone into the action of getting Miroku a place to rest.

Coming up to Inuyasha, Lina rested her hand on his shoulder and squeezed softly.

As he looked over at her with an annoyed scowl, Lina spoke to him in a warm tone. "He will be alright. He is finally free." Smiling warmly now, Lina left the wondering gaze of Inuyasha as he watched Miroku being taken to Kaede's hut.
