Chapter 4

A Spell?

Everyone sat around the hut. Inuyasha leaned against the wall next to the door with Kagome who was now wearing pajamas in his lap and Shippo on his shoulder.

Sango and Miroku sat next to each other across from them. It was rare that Sango let the hentai monk anywhere near her but he was comforting her. He hadn't even tried to touch her since Kagome passed out.

They all sat in silence waiting for Kagome to wake up. They had Kaede look at her to see if something had caused the pain but she couldn't find anything. She went out to look for herbs that would help the pain if it happened again.

Kagome started to stir. Everyone gathered around her hoping she would wake now. They all watched her.

Kagome woke up to everyone looking at her. She squeaked and shoved her face in Inuyasha's shirt. When no one did anything she looked back up. She sighed. It was just her friends.

"Don't do that." Kagome said putting a hand over her heart.

Everyone looked at each other confused. "Do what Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.

"Stare at me when I just wake up. You scared me."

"Gomen." Everyone said.

"Are you feeling all right Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Why would you ask me that? Is something wrong?" Kagome asked and looked at everyone.

"Kagome earlier you screamed in pain and finally passed out when I jumped in the river with you." Inuyasha said.

"Are you sure? I don't remember that." Kagome said.

"It is true Kagome-sama. We all watched it happen, except Shippo." Miroku said.

"What do you remember Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.

"I remember that it was getting late so I changed into my pajamas and went to sleep."

They all looked at each other. How could she forget something like that? Was someone making her forget?

"What? What really happened then?" Kagome asked.

"You screamed in pain earlier and I ran to the river and jumped in with you. You stopped screaming and passed out. I brought you back here and I changed your clothes. Then you woke up." Inuyasha said.

"I don't remember any of that. Maybe if I go to sleep I'll remember. I'm still tired." Kagome said sleepily.

"Hai, just go to sleep then." Inuyasha said. He watched as she fell asleep almost instantly.

"I wonder why she doesn't remember?" Sango asked.

"We all saw what happened. It doesn't make any sense. Who could be doing this?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know." Inuyasha said.

"Will Okaa-san be ok?" Shippo asked.

"Hai. We just wait until she wakes up again. We should all get some sleep too. It's late." Inuyasha said. Everyone nodded. Inuyasha picked Shippo up off his shoulder and laid him on Kagome's stomach.

Everyone but Inuyasha fell asleep. He was too worried. How could she have so much pain that it would make her pass out and not remember it when she woke up?

It would be another long night. He figured she would sleep until morning. She looked really tired. He looked at the door and Kaede came in with some herbs.

"Has she woken Inuyasha?" Kaede asked.

"Hai, but she doesn't remember anything at all."

"I wonder if it is a spell someone is casting on her." Kaede said.

"A spell?" Inuyasha asked.

"Hai, if she wakes up tomorrow and remembers what happened then I think I might know what it is." Kaede said.

"Why can't you tell me now?"

"Because I must ask her some questions. I don't want to worry you and then find out it has nothing to do with it."

"I'm already worried."

"Just wait until morning." Kaede said and went to sleep.

Inuyasha just watched Kagome. She no longer had any expressions of pain on her face. She was sleeping peacefully he hoped. He hugged her tighter. He wouldn't let anything happen to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome woke up with fright. She had a dream of what happened in her sleep. It was like watching a movie. She had even seen what happened after she woke the first time. She no longer felt any pain though.

Everyone woke up at the same time yelling her name in worry.

"Kagome."

"Hai, I'm fine." Kagome said. They were probably worried about last night.

"Do you feel all right? Do you remember anything?" Kaede asked before anyone could say anything.

"Hai, I feel fine. I remember. That's why I woke up. I had a dream about what happened." Kagome said. She hugged Shippo. She could tell he was worried.

"I think I know what it was that caused you pain." Kaede said. All eyes were on her now.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked. He was worried. He felt better when Kagome hugged him. He looked down at her and smiled.

"It is a spell that can cause pain. Why she could not remember it I do not know. Someone must bear a grudge against you to do it. Someone with power."

"Who could do something like that?" Sango asked.

"Ah, I think I remember a spell, something that causes a lot of pain for a moment of time. They must be a very powerful youkai or miko to be able to do it." Miroku said.

"You know about it Houshi-sama?" Sango asked.

"Hai, a little I did not think of it until Kaede-sama said something about it."

"How do you stop it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well the only way to stop it is find the youkai or miko who did it and confront them. Only they can stop the spell." Kaede said.

"Why did Okaa-san forget about it for a while?" Shippo asked.

"I think that was me. It hurt so bad I just wanted to forget and I guess I did." Kagome said.

"How are you able to do that?" Sango asked.

"She is getting stronger with her miko powers. We should start your training since it seems that your break is over." Kaede said.

"Really? When do we start?" Kagome asked.

"If you feel better we can start after breakfast."

"I feel fine now." Kagome said.

"Well then I better start breakfast. I think everyone is hungry." Kaede said when she heard some stomachs growling.

"I'm going to change and wash my face at the river." Kagome said. She put Shippo down and got out of Inuyasha's lap and grabbed a change of clothes.

Inuyasha followed her to the river. He watched her carefully making sure nothing was wrong with her.

They got to the river Kagome washed her face first and she felt better. She then looked at Inuyasha so she could change. If he watched they would never make it to breakfast.

"What?" Inuyasha said.

"Turn around."

"What for? It's not like I haven't looked before." Inuyasha said.

"Yeah well every time I try to change you always start something."

"So?" he said with a smirk on his face.

"So I'm hungry and would like to eat. Once you get started you don't stop." Kagome said. She looked at Inuyasha. He smirked and disappeared and then reappeared behind her.

"What's wrong with that hmm Koi?" he started kissing her neck.

"You're a sex fiend you know that right?" she shivered.

"Ah, but you seem to enjoy that don't you?" Inuyasha said. He turned her around and kissed her on the lips. She moaned when he grabbed her behind.

He licked her lips begging for entrance. She opened and he grabbed the back of her head and tilted it to deepen the kiss.

They broke the kiss for air. "You can't go without sex for one day can you?" Kagome asked.

"Nope I had to do without last night so I'm making up for it now." He started to growl when he smelt Shippo nearby.

"What's wrong?" Her question was answered when Shippo jumped on her.

"Okaa-san, Otou-san breakfast is ready." He looked at Inuyasha. "What's wrong with Otou-san?" He asked.

"Nothing He's just mad he didn't get what he wanted." She looked back at him. He looked ready to kill. "Come on I'll change after breakfast."

They all started walking to the hut. "Calm down Inuyasha." Kagome said. He just growled louder. He would've killed Shippo if he didn't consider him his son.

They all got to the hut. Kagome sighed. Inuyasha was going to be like this all day. He was always in a bad mood when he didn't get what he wanted.

They all ate breakfast. Kagome ate as quickly as she could. She wanted to get started on her lessons. She couldn't wait. She wanted to see what real mikos could do. She knew they could sometimes do the things she did. But other than that she didn't know.

Kaede and Kagome both went to a different room. They needed to be able to concentrate on what they were doing.

"So what should we do about the spell?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know I don't think Kagome wants to do anything about it right now. She's training so she won't want to do anything. Besides she's been waiting for this for weeks." Inuyasha said.

"We could just wait to see if it happens again. If it does then we can go after it. There don't seem to be anything wrong with her now." Sango said.

"I guess." Inuyasha said.

"Is there something wrong Inuyasha? You seem to be in a bad mood." Miroku said.

"Shut up bouzo."

"Hai, hai I won't say a thing." Miroku sat back and closed his eyes. "He opened them and asked, "What do we do now?"

"I don't know. We can't go shard hunting if Kagome's training." Inuyasha said.

"How long do you think it'll last?" Sango asked.

"It depends on how much she needs to learn and how much power she has." Miroku said.

"You seem to know a lot about mikos Houshi-sama." Sango said.

"Well I am a monk."

"Could've fooled me." Inuyasha said. "Goddamn lecher."

"Why Inuyasha it offends me that you would think of me a servant of Buddha would ever do such a thing." Miroku said with an innocent look on his face.

"Feh." Inuyasha said. Miroku just smiled.

There was a moment of silence and then the ground shook. It was more like a wave came from under them. They all looked at the door Kagome and Kaede had walked through earlier.

"Kagome!" They all yelled and ran to the door.
