InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Fire Bearer ❯ Chapter 3

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

It had been two days since Kagome had gotten back and everyone was very happy for her return, well, everyone but a scared Kikyo and a very much in pain Inuyasha. Though, even he had to admit that he was happy to have her back.

It had taken much persuasion to get Sango and Miroku to stay with Inuyasha. But after a few promises of viewed beatings, she finally got them to stay. And man had she kept that promise. So far, they kept count of 7 fights, 3 broken bones, and 1 twisted ankle. And that's just that they'd view. Sometimes he would go to collect firewood and she would follow him silently, then after a few moments there would be heard, smacks, cracks, or sudden yelps, followed by laughing as he fell into one of her traps. Basically she had given up on 'sit', insisting that this was much more fun.

Everyone was loving this except Inuyasha and Kikyo, who was still staying as far away from Kagome as humanly possible. Sango was still giving inuyasha and Kikyo death glares. Well, now she was sending Inuyasha death glares. Truthfully, she had been sending death glances at Kikyo since she had joined the group.

Having Kagome around was making thing easier, too. They no longer had to wait forever to get a fire started since a single flick of her wrist would start a blazing one wherever they wanted it. If they waned to heat water for stew or what not they just held it over her hand as she let the heat radiate off of her, allowing it to boil faster then any fire would.
So far on their travels they had collected only3 jewel shards, while Kagome alone had collected 8 of them. That really got Inuyasha upset, so Kagome made sure to mention it all the time, and soon Sango joined in on that fun.

"We should really start to find more jewel shards soon because even though I got 8, you guys only got 3, which really isn't that many." Kagome said in an innocent voice.

"Oh yes, you're absolutely right, that is rather pitiful." Sango replied in the same type of voice.

Inuyasha just 'Feh'ed and stalked into the forest. Kagome just put a finger to her lips and mouthed 'Listen' to Sango. Sango obeyed and listened to the surrounding forest. Soon enough there was a yelp and a crash followed by a string of curses and what sounded to be a 'Damn you, Kagome!'. The two girls and Shippo keeled over with laughter as Miroku let a smile fall onto his lips and Kikyo went to see what had happened this time.

A few minutes later a fuming Inuyasha came bag into camp with Kikyo behind him trying to pick leaves and twigs out of his hair.

"By the way Lady Kagome, you never did quite explain to us how you are alive. I mean, you said that you lost your soul, but your heart never stopped beating, I don't get it.” Miroku questioned her.

"Well, as you know, I just lied there, and without nothing much else to do, I listened to my heart beat." She began her explanation. "As soon as it stopped, I mean completely stopped, or supposedly anyway, my soul left, but only to be replaced by another one. Which healed my wounds, made my heart beat before you could've known that it had stopped, and made me what I am. I know that the explanation is vague, but that's all that I know."

"Well, I guess that's enough for now. But, are you still a miko?" Miroku asked.

"You know what, I'm not sure. I mean, I know I can still sense the jewel shards, but I haven't gotten my hands on a bow and arrow since that incident." She said then fell silent as she started to think.

She was soon ripped out of her thoughts as she sensed a jewel shard getting closer. " I sense a jewel shard!" She yelled and took off in the direction she sensed it coming from, knowing that the others wouldn't be far behind. Right now she was thanking god for her demon powers that were sometimes even greater then that of Inuyasha's.

She soon reached a clearing were she sensed the jewel shard, but she couldn't find it. After a minute, the others joined her as well. Not to long afterwards a group of Naraku puppets jumped out into the clearing surrounding them. They were all fighting hard. Sango with her Haraikotsu, Miroku with his staff, Inuyasha with Tentsuseiga, and Kagome with a sword that they had supplied her with where she had set the blade on fire.

"Guys, we're getting no where fast and I can't use my wind tunnel because of the insects!" Miroku yelled as he sliced through another tentacle.

"He's right. Kagome, can you do anything about these damn things?" Inuyasha asked as he sent another Wind Scar at a puppet, ripping it to shreds.

"Uhhh... yeah," she said a little hesitantly. " Ok, everyone get behind me!"

Everyone did as she said as she sheathed her sword. They were still fighting off the tentacles that tried to attack her. She kneeled down and put one of her hands on the ground and the other sideways right in front of her face. She was looking straight ahead as the fire in her eyes grew back and intensified. All of the sudden she shot right into the air about ten feet above there heads. Her hair turned red once again and flew around her. Her hands shot out into a T formation as she screamed "Fires of Hell!"

Soon fire engulfed all of them, but they couldn't feel the burn of it. All they could see were the flames and Kagome high above there heads. Soon the flames died down and all they could see around them was ashes and charred forest. Kagome slowly descended from the sky with her arms still spread about her.

'God, she looks like an angel descending from heaven. Wait, no, come on Inuyasha, it's Kagome. Though she is now the Fire Bearer, she is still Kagome, right?' He silently wondered.

Soon Kagome finally reached the ground and her hands fell to her sides. The only thing anyone could do was stare. Soon they were stolen out of there thoughts when they heard a whimpering coming from Kagome.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" They all asked simultaneously,

"I killed the forest."

'Yep, still Kagome.'
