InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Save The Girl ❯ Dear Dairy ( Chapter 16 )

 

Kagome now sat in her room alone, Sango had been let out 9 days ago, and 8 days ago Kagome had demanded that they all go to school again. Just because she was in the hospital was no reason for them to lose any chances in succeeding in their futures.

 

Of course Rin and Sango had argued with her for hours about it, saying that they didn't want her to be alone, or that it was `dangerous' for them to be out there with out her, but in the end she had won the argument saying that they would be safe with the boys and that Naraku wasn't stupid enough to try to kill her in a busy hospital or go after them at a public school. So they all went to high school while little Shippou went to his kinder-garden class.

 

Besides that, they were all driving her nuts!! Well not all of them, just Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku. After they had come back that day Sango had flipped out on Miroku, they had seemed to be up to something. They kept staring at her thinking that she hadn't noticed. She could feel the anxiety coming off them.

 

That was another problem. She had finally figured out why she was so different, why she could feel other peoples emotions and kept getting these weird vision of all of her friends past's and some she thought could be there future. At first it confused and annoyed the living hell out of her, but after some practice she learned to control it. But since she had the free time to finally look it up, she had barrowed Shinjo's lap top computer and looked it up. She was an Empath!! As in Empathic. Well there was kinda more to, she was also a Miko, which was kinda scary since everyone wanted her kind dead but heck, it was awesome to be different…. Well, special, if you thought of it that way.

 

But anyways, being an Empath meant many things, but the most important things about it was that you could feel other people's emotions and, that depending on how strong the Empath was, you could also see other peoples past, present or future memories.

 

Weird, huh? But it all made sense, after years of thinking she was psychic but not understanding why she could feel more, finally made sense. She wasn't psychic at all, she was an Empath. Which is actually like being psychic but with a few more gifts, which was awesome….. If you knew how to control it. It got really annoy to feel everyone's emotions after a while.

 

And as for being a Miko, well since her friends started going back to school she had been meditating which helped her calm her nerves, plus it enabled her to make an important discovery. She could manipulate her energy into her hand to form a ball of energy and after some practice, she was now able to control how much energy she but into the ball and she could also manipulate it into different shapes! She was practicing with her newly found power right now, actually.

 

Kagome sat alone in her room, her eyes closed and her body perfectly still and calm except for the deep calming breaths she took. As she breathed in through her nose she thought `spirit' and as she breathed out through her mouth she thought `energy'. This was a special way she learned to meditate; it helped her keep her mind blank and it also balance the energy in her body. She had been doing this for about 30 minutes now, but to her it felt like it had only been 5 minutes.

 

Then slowly, she brought her hands out in front, cupped them together and placed them on her lap. Suddenly waves of blue and silvery light started to slowly seep from the pores of her hands to form a slowly growing ball of energy in her palms, until it became the size of a baseball. Then she opened her eyes to look at the silver and blue ball of energy as it started change its form into many different shapes. First a cylinder, then a cube, a pyramid, a rectangular prism, a cone, a doughnut, a prism, a star prism, and a hemisphere which she manipulated to surround her body like a barrier and finally back to a sphere. Then she raised one hand above it while the other stayed under and it flattened into a disk. Slowly she started rotated her pointer finger above it as it started to spin faster and faster until it reached until it reached the speed of her choice, then with some unseen force, she moved the disk across the room where she finally used it to go threw a vase's middle at a slant and then back to her hand. At first the vase made no movement, but then the top half slowly slid sideways and crashed to the floor.

 

Kagome smiled happily as she sucked the energy back into her body threw her hands. She might have finally mastered her powers, and all in 8 days!! She mastered it all, all except her spell casting. And the only reason she couldn't master that was because she didn't know any spells and couldn't find any on the Internet! ­­­­­­­, which was probably because spell casting was forbidden.

 

This unfortunately meant that she would have to find someone to teach her that skill, but the problem was she didn't know where to look. Especially since mikos and monks didn't go around broadcasting that they were!! They weren't that stupid unless they wanted to die!

 

Kagome then sighed. She knew she could make up some spells on her own, but she didn't want to do that until she was sure that nothing bad would happen. She didn't want to accidentally say the wrong thing and end up killing everyone. So she would wait to master that power, but at least she was still very formidable. Especially now that she could use energy blasts.

 

She had also been using her friends as genie pigs, but don't worry, she wasn't doing anything dangerous with them. She wouldn't risk their lives like that. No, she was only using her insight on them. Although she felt bad about invading their privacy in such away, she had to practice control. Unfortunately she figured out she couldn't really control it. That was one power she doubted anyone had learned to control, but she did discover why she could tell if a person was dangerous or malicious. Not only was it because of her empathic abilities but because of her Miko abilities she could feel a person's soul energy, but sense she had been practicing with it, she could now see them when ever she wished.

 

There were so many different colors inside the soul, some colors she didn't think could existed but they did and it was beautiful, the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, but all souls were different. Some were big, some were small, some were old, some were young and it didn't mater with the age and size of the person.

 

Like Shippou for instance, he had a very large soul and he was so tiny. You probably think that isn't possible, that you have to have a big enough body to house your soul. Well then explain this, when we are born we are all these tiny little babies no bigger than 12 pounds, right? Well when our souls connect with our bodies during the birthing process they are roughly the same size as they are when you are decades older. Although the old souls are usually the biggest souls, there were some exceptions, like Rin's and Sango's.

 

Their soul's were young, they maybe had two past lives, but their soul was so large that what ever they had done in their past life had to of been great!

 

Their souls were so much a like, the only difference was the colors and the way their souls moved. Yes, Souls move, they twist and bubble inside you, almost like hot lava but seem to float like a fog at the same time. It's really hard to explain.

 

But the most interesting thing Kagome discovered and never thought could be was that every soul had some amount of darkness inside them. Some more than others but it darkness was in every soul that she made contact with so far. At first she was baffled, she thought that there had to be at least one good person out there but then she thought of her friends. They never really did anything wrong, sure they made mistakes but that didn't necessarily mean they were evil!!

 

As she thought about it, she finally remembered something her mother had told her when she was little.

A Young Woman in her mid 20's was tucking a little raven 5 year old Kagome into her bed as she smiled softly at her. She leaned down and kissed the little girl on the forehead. Then she turned around to a bed across from the first and did the same to a little 4 year old Sango.

 

“Goodnight my little ones.” She said softly.

 

“Goodnight Mommy” They chanted back.

 

The woman smiled and walked towards the open door. Just as she was about to flip the light switch off, Kagome's little voice called out to her.

 

“Please leave the light on...” She pleaded as she clutched her blanket up to her chin as she quivered slightly.

 

The woman frowned worriedly walked back to Kagome's side. “Why Sweetie? Is something wrong?”

 

Kagome nodded. “I'm afraid of the dark.” She whispered like it was some great secret.

 

The woman smiled softly then. “Oh My little Kagome, don't fear the darkness, there is nothing to be afraid of.”

 

“But what if a monster comes out and tries to eat me?”

 

The woman laughed at that. “Kagome, not all monsters are evil.”

 

“They aren't?”

 

“Of course not, just like darkness, they are simply misunderstood.”

 

“How can darkness be misunderstood? It's simple, it's dark and scary”

 

“Darkness is a part of all of us, Kagome, if we don't let it control us then there is nothing to fear.”

Darkness was not evil, it was that let it control them that were.

 

Like Miroku, He had the most darkness in him out of all of her friends, probably because he was a lecher, and that didn't make him evil, just annoying. His soul was also an interesting one, he was human but his soul was somehow different from other humans. Like it was special some how, but she couldn't quiet pinpoint it.

 

Sesshoumaru's soul was very old and very large, which was probably why he held such wisdom in his eyes and was so… what's the word, regal.

 

But Inuyasha's had to be her all time favorite!! His was probably the most amazing one she would ever see. There were so many colors, and such uniqueness to it that she often ventured threw its depths, testing and measuring some unknown thing inside him. Demon souls and human souls were different in their own way but only because demons were practically immortals, but the fact that Inuyasha was both made his soul way more complex, which intrigued her to no end.

 

Kagome smiled happily, today was the day that she would finally be released from the hospital, THANKGOD!! The InuTaisho boys and her sisters were supposed to pick her up after they were finished with school and that was 20 minutes ago, which meant they would come bursting through the door any minute now.

 

Speaking of which. “THE FUN HAS ARIVED!!” Inuyasha sang as he and the rest of their odd group of friends came into the room.

 

“Really? Where?” Kagome exclaimed as she looked from side to side as if looking for something, then giggled as Inuyasha scowled at her.

 

But then he smirked “You know that I'm more fun than anyone you've ever known.” He teased as he waggled his eyebrow at her suggestively.

 

Kagome turned beet red as her friends snickered. “PERVERT!! I swear you are defiantly spending too much time with Miroku!” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“Hey!” Miroku piped up in his defense. “I'm not a pervert; I don't know whatever gave you that idea.”

 

“Well, you grabbing girl's butt's was a dead give away.” Rin replied with a smirk.

 

“Yes but I don't do that anymore unless it's my beautiful Sango's!” Miroku said happily as he pulled said person into his arms and kissed her softly on the cheek, making the biggest smile come to her face.

 

“Yeah, well that better be true because if you ever touch Rin again, you won't have any hands to touch another woman with, ever again.” Sesshoumaru threatened emotionlessly as he held said girl around the waist next to him.

 

After Kagome had figured out that they were dating, they had told everyone else the next day and were surprised that none of them were shocked at all… except Inuyasha who kept saying things like “OH MY GOD!! You can actually feel love?!”… This earned him a bump on the head from a rather angry Rin. It was all quiet funny.

 

“So, You ready to go home Kagome?” Inuyasha said with a small smile.

 

Kagome nodded and smiled back. Home, he was talking about the beautiful mansion that they would all now call home. She and her sister finally had a good environment to call home. Kagome could feel her heart swell at the thought.

 

“But we have to stop at our old house first, to get our clothes and stuff.” Kagome added as Inuyasha helped her out of the bed and led her out of the room. She had already changed out of the hospital gown and into regular clothes.

 

“Ok, but you're not going in there alone.” He replied firmly.

 

Kagome smiled at how protective he was of her recently. I mean, he always was protective of her, but he was more protective now than ever. She liked the feeling it gave her, it meant he cared about her.

 

When they made it to the lobby, Shinjo was just finishing sighing all the paper work to check Kagome out of the hospital. Kagome frowned slightly at the huge stack of papers that Shinjo must have just gone through.

 

Then she walked up to him and hugged him. “Thank you” She said truly meaning it, causing a huge smile to come across his face as he hugged her back.

 

“No problem sweet heart, I'm just glad you're ok.” He replied as they parted.

 

“Thank you again, Mr. InuTaisho.” She said.

 

“Yeah, thank you Mr. InuTaisho!” Sango added.

 

“We Love you Mr. InuTaisho!” Rin laughed.

 

Shinjo made a mock frown. “Come now girls, enough of the formalities! I get enough of that at work, call me dad!” He grinned at the end.

 

The girls all giggled.

 

“Ok dad” Kagome replied.

 

“Yes daddy!” The sugar and spice twins exclaimed at the same time causing everyone to laugh but it soon disappeared as they suddenly noticed that everyone in the lobby were giving them ugly looks, demons and humans alike.

 

The guys all glared at the people as Sango and Rin looked at them curiously, Kagome just looked to the ground sadly. Sango was just about to say something but the guys all grabbed them and led them out of the hospital.

 

When they got into Shinjo's van that was when Sango finally spoke. “What in the hell was their problem? Do they not like seeing happy people or something?!” She exclaimed.

 

“Well, yes and no.” Shinjo replied.

 

“What? I don't understand.” Rin questioned.

 

“What he's saying is that, they don't mind seeing happy people, they just don't like seeing happy humans and demons together.” Sessh explained.

 

“Why?” Sango asked.

 

“Remember Sango? Humans and demons don't hang out together because we are supposed to hate each other.” Miroku sighed.

 

“But that's not right. Why are we all still being judged for something that happened hundreds of years ago!?” Sango exclaimed.

 

“Because humans are still afraid of demons and demons still think humans are lesser than them.” Shinjo replied sadly.

 

“But we aren't afraid of you, and you guys don't think lesser of us” Rin exclaimed, and then added softly “Do you?”

 

“Of course not!! Why would you even ask that!!?” Shinjo exclaimed as both of his demonic sons looked at her oddly.

 

“I'm sorry, I was just wondering… it just that…. Never mind” Rin sighed.

 

“No, what were you going to say?” Sessh encouraged.

 

“…..”

 

“Rin?”

 

“What she was going to say was that many people think of us as lesser than them, even humans, and she was afraid that you might think the same.” Kagome replied for her with out looking away from the window, which caused her to miss their reaction, although she didn't have to see it, she felt it.

 

Shock was written on the InuTaisho's faces while Sango and Rin looked at her in confusion. Why was it that she seemed to always know what they were thinking? Was that part of being a Miko as well?

 

“I'm afraid I don't understand you're meaning Kagome.” Shinjo piped up.

 

“Which part do you not understand? The part were she was afraid that you might think the same or the part were we are thought of as weak?”

 

“Well both, but I don't understand mainly, how you came to think that people thought of you as lesser beings?”

 

Kagome sighed and looked him straight in the eyes causing him shudder slightly at the emotionless mask she put up.

 

“That is because they told us so.”

 

“Who told you?”

 

“Everyone, classmates, teachers, priests, rabbi's, police officers, school counselors, random people on the street, people we thought were our friends, our fa…” She clamped her mouth shut at the last part and looked away.

 

“Your father…” Shinjo finished for her causing her eyes to snap back to his, and at his words he saw her mask drop for just a second, and his chest constricted painfully at the deep child like sorrow he saw in this young woman's eyes.

 

He smiled kindly at her. “Darling, never believe the bad things other people say about you, because they do not know what they are talking about.” Then he looked at her sisters “and that goes the same for you two!”

 

They all just nodded their heads dumbly.

 

He then turned the car on and started to drive towards the girls old home, the whole way there he didn't hear the kids conversations and he was only vaguely aware of where he was going, all because of the thoughts running threw his head.

 

He bit back a growl as he chanted over and over again in his head to calm himself down. He didn't know what it was about these girls, but he had the strangest overwhelming urge to protect them, as if they were his own children. They seemed somehow special and it wasn't only that they were meant to be with his sons, there was something else.

 

Although he knew Kagome was a Miko, that wasn't what was making him feel so protective over them because if that were the case then he wouldn't feel protective towards Sango and Rin because they were only humans.

 

There was just something telling him that they needed to be protected no matter what and the thought that they had been treated so badly made his blood boil.

 

He suddenly felt his sons' aura's call out to him as they sensed his raging blood starting to rise over him, but it didn't stop his blood from slowly taking control of his mind and body as his eye's started to seep red. Then something unexpected happened, he felt the three girl's aura's flare out and soothingly brush against his, calming his blood lust as he gained awareness back.

 

“DAD!!” He heard Inuyasha cry.

 

“What?!” He exclaimed as he swerved the car slightly.

 

He looked in his rear view mirror at his sons who were all looking at him worriedly, but the girls seemed to be completely oblivious. Had they not even noticed what they had done?

 

Taking a deep breath he smiled reassuring at his sons, silently saying he was fine now but they still looked worried even though they did calm a bit.

 

There was a good reason the humans feared Demons, because they had one weakness, and that was their blood lust. When ever they get angry their blood try's to take over so they can take out what ever angered them and it was worse with half demons because they were part human, and humans usually had less control over their emotions than demons did. So when a half demon or full demon got to angry, there demon blood would take over and they would become a mindless killing machine.

 

Inuyasha had changed a few times before but they were always able to nock him out before he hurt anyone… too badly. It had surprised Shinjo to no end that Inuyasha hadn't changed once in the 5 and a half months they had lived here but now it all made sense. The girls kept down his demonic blood. How? He did not know, but he was going to find out.

 

Kagome opened the car door and started to get out but Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her waist to stop her.

 

“No Kagome, don't go in yet. Stay here with my father while my brothers and I make sure no one's in the house first, ok?” He said.

 

She looked at him incredulously. “Like my father would be stupid enough to stay here with the whole city looking for him.”

 

Inuyasha frowned slightly. “He's not the only person I'm worried about.”

 

She blinked at him. “Um, ok. Who else would you be worried about?”

 

“Homeless demons and humans moving in, scavenger demons following the scent of blood…. Things like that.” Miroku put in.

 

“Hmm, I forgot about them… but we aren't helpless, you guys”

 

“Yeah, but you just came out of the hospital, we can't risk it.” Sesshoumaru replied.

 

Kagome sighed. “Fine, but hurry up.”

 

The guys all smiled, quickly exited the car and walked up to the front door, which they found unlocked. When they entered the house, the scent of old, decaying blood hit them like a ton of bricks. Even Miroku could smell it clearly with his less sensitive nose. The smell was sickening as they all fought to hold down their lunches.

 

They all held their nose's as they walked through the living room into the kitchen all the while looking for any sigh that some was or had been there. The kitchen had 4 separate doorways in it. One led to a bathroom, one led to the girls' room, another lead to Naraku and Kayori's room and the last led back into the living room.

 

The guys all looked at each other and decided to split up. Miroku took the bathroom, Sesshoumaru took the girls room and Inuyasha took Naraku and Kayori's room.

 

As Inuyasha entered the master bedroom he immediately wished he hadn't. The blood was strongest there and there was dried blood everywhere, most of it he could tell was Kagome's and that made furious as his eyes took in the room.

 

It looked to be something out of a horror movie. Blood was splattered all over the walls and on various objects, while there were bloody hand and foot prints all over the floor, some stretched and slightly disfigured but the blood that was soaked into the sheets and quilts of the bed scared Inuyasha the most. It was Kagome's blood and there was a lot of it, her blood was all over the room. It amazed him that she had survived, with how much of her blood painted the room.

 

Tearing his eyes from the bed he walked over to the closet and opened it, nothing there except the old scent of tears, fear and more blood. Inuyasha growled slightly and slammed the door shut, that's when something caught his attention.

 

It was an alien scent, an old one and it was female. It was mixed in with blood and tears that were both the females and… Kagome's? But Kagome's was just as old and faded as the females. So it had to of been from a long, long time ago.

 

Inuyasha followed the scent to chest that was hidden under the bed. Although it had a lock on it, he easily broke it off and opened the chest. Inside were various Items, some of value and some with no more value than sentiment but the only thing that interested him was the little black and white note book at the very bottom of the chest.

 

The note book looked to be an ordinary notebook, and there was nothing really special about it except for the blood stains and the words written inside.

 

He opened the first page, it read: Owned by Kagome Perri, stay out or die!

 

But it was written rather messily and had a bunch of miss spelled words, so obviously it was written when Kagome was a child. He went to the next page to find it dated to when Kagome was about 5.

 

In the first official page Kagome wrote:

 

Dear Dairy,

 

I'm so happy to have you; Mamma gave you to me for my birthday. She's not my real mommy but she adopted me 2 years ago and I love her very much. I have a daddy also; I don't like him very much. He's not very nice to mommy, Sango and me but he hurts mommy more because she always gets in the way. I don't know why she does that, if she always gets hurt she should just stay out of the way. Then daddy wouldn't have to punish her as much but I'm not supposed to say anything about that. Mommy made me promise that I wouldn't tell anyone about him, but she said I could tell you anything I wanted but that I have to keep you away from daddy and everyone else. So I have to hide you.

 

She said that if anyone ever found you that she would get in trouble and that would be bad. I don't want mommy to get in trouble, so I'm going to make sure no one ever, ever sees you.

 

I have a baby sister named Sango, and I love her so much. She's 1 year younger than me and she's so cute!! I get to take care of her while mommy's at work and daddy's with his gang. Sango and I love to play hide and seek and our favorite cartoon is the Rug-rats because of all the cool adventures they have. We have our own adventures too, and even though we aren't allowed to leave the house, we sometimes sneak out into the front yard and play warrior princesses. But we have to be careful because if daddy catches us out side we'd get in BIG trouble.

 

Well I got to go to bed now, but I'll write in you tomorrow, ok?

 

Love you lots,

Kagome Perri ^_^

 

Inuyasha blinked a few times then smiled sadly, it was Kagome's old diary! He flipped threw the book and scrolled threw the pages. As each page went by his smile turned into a grimace. Each page told him a little more about Kagome's past and gave him an idea of what was happening to her in the time that he knew her. Some of the pages talked about her schooling, some talked about her Adoptive mother and Sango, some talked about her father, his gang and how he hurt her, and some talked about them all together. The things that were written in the little girl's dairy were so sad and horrible for such a little child to have experienced, but the writing seemed so innocent. As though Kagome didn't know what was happening was wrong. It was so…. wrong

 

She had lost her family and had to move in with their killer, whom was a gang leader and a drug dealer that abused her and her second family on a daily basis. At school she was outcast and constantly teased for the way she dressed and the parents she had. She had no friends; she had to take care of her little sister while her adoptive parents worked. All this threw the ages 5-6, and she didn't even complain. In her writing she wrote as if everything was right in the world, the only things that seemed to bother her were her lack of friends and having to watch Naraku beat Sango and Akira.

 

But what Inuyasha didn't understand was why Naraku had Kagome's dairy in his chest or why Kagome's and the alien females blood was on it and if Kagome had told some one about Naraku, who would she have told? She obviously feared Naraku. She stated many times that she wouldn't tell anyone about Naraku and his criminal behavior, out of fear of what he might do to her, Akira or Sango.

 

Maybe it explained what happened in Kagome's dairy. Inuyasha growled slightly and quickly flipped to the last page Kagome had written on. The page held a single sentence, right in the very center of the page.

 

It read:

 

Mommy is dead, and it's all your fault.

 

Inuyasha blinked in confusion. What was that supposed to mean? How could someone die over a dairy? Was she talking to herself or something?

 

Wait! If Kagome had told someone about Naraku and his gang, how come no legal action was taken? How come Naraku wasn't in jail? And if he killed Akira, how exactly did he get away with it? How did he get away with Kagome's parents' murder? Nothing made sense! Inuyasha had a huge mystery on his hands.

 

Inuyasha slipped the little notebook into his inner jacket pocket, moved the chest back under the bed and made his way back into the kitchen where he met up with his brother's.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha questioningly, and Inu immediately knew that Sessh had scented the notebook.

 

“What's going on?” Miroku asked as he watched his brothers stare at each other.

 

“Inuyasha has souvenir.” Sessh stated with out taking his eyes off said person.

 

Inuyasha growled in irritation as both his brothers looked at him expectantly.

 

“I found Kagome's old Dairy; it's from when she was 5 to 6. I want to use it to gain more info on her past.”

 

“That, Inuyasha, is stealing, and invading someone's privacy.”

 

“Shut it Miroku, I have my reasons.”

 

“And they would be” Sessh questioned.

 

“I don't think Akira's death was Kagome's fault and I think Naraku has more power than he's let on.”

 

“All this from a dairy?”

 

“Yes and I would appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about it.”

 

Sessh and Miroku sighed in defeat.

 

“I'll go get the girls…” Miroku said as he disappeared out the front door.

 

 

TBC………….
