Disclaimer: nope, InuYasha still doesn't belong to me. . .
sun shone brightly when Kagome and Inuyasha returned to Kaede's hut. Everyone was expecting to hear the two fighting; Inuyasha yelling some random insult at Kagome while the young girl "sat" the guy for all he was worth. Kaede, Shippou, Miroku, and Sango were surprised to see the two enter the hut together, with no indications of a fight. Something happened, the others were sure of it. Kagome was unusually quiet, her face pale with dark circles under her eyes, while Inuyasha had a dazed look, as if he couldn't comprehend something. The two sat side by side, lost in their own thoughts. It was Sango who finally broke the silence.
The young girl broke out of her trance and gazed up at the older girl. "Ye-yes?"
you alright? You don't look well." Sango asked softly.
gave her a shaky smile. "I'm fine, Sango-chan. I just had a bad dream last night." She giggled, "I must look awful, huh?"
smiled at the young miko. "Just a little!" teased the demon slayer.
I thought something bad happened to you, Kagome!" squeaked Shippou. An evil look crept onto the kitsune's face. "I know!! Inuyasha was in your dream, wasn't he!! No wonder you look exhausted, anyone with Inuyasha in their dream would be scared to dea--" Shippou was stopped short from the growling beside him. "Shippou. . ." Inuyasha growled. SMACK!
Kagome!!! Inuyasha hit me again!!!!" The fox child ran around in circles, a large bump protruding from his head.
deserved it, you little pest!" Inuyasha snapped, rising from his seated position to box Shippou a little more.
osuwari."
THUMP!
. go. .. me. . .!!!" Kagome sighed and stood. "Sango, let's get breakfast started." Sango just nodded, looking in amusement at the dog-demon who was currently pasted to the floor.
went smoothly, with the regular insults Inuyasha and Shippou threw back and forth.
breath!"
"Fox turd!"
Inuyasha fell face first into his ramen. "Grrrr, Kagome. . ."
Inuyasha. . ." Kagome sighed.
the meal, it was time to tend to the wounds. During the last battle with Naraku, Miroku's Kazaana had been destroyed, but not without a scar. Apparently Naraku wanted to remind the monk of himself, and a large slash mark appeared where the kazaana once was. It would heal in time, but the slash was deep. Sango had a few minor cuts and bruises, nothing serious. The real wound was in her heart. Kagome watched her friend as she tended to Miroku's hand, her pain still apparent on her face. You will heal, Sango. . . in time, you will move on with your life. . .Kohaku is in peace. Kagome turned her attention back to Inuyasha, where she was nursing his hurt arm. The explosion at the end knocked the hanyou against a tree, fracturing his femur. She glanced at his face. Although he won't admit it, it hurts . . . but he's half-demon . . . he'll heal quickly. Kagome finished the wrap around his arm and glanced at her own body. A few cuts and bruises. . .me and Sango were lucky enough to remain unhurt . . . physically anyway. The young miko stood and gathered her medical supplies, returning them to her bag. Looking out the window, she watched the children playing outside. Everything's back to normal . . . it was as if our journey was all a dream. "Ouch!"
What's wrong?" asked Kaede.
bit me!" Kagome pulled back her hair to reveal a flea feasting on her neck. "Greetings and salutations!" SWAT!!
if it isn't Myouga the flea," Miroku wondered as the insect fluttered to the ground, "what are you doing here?"
Myouga said, straightening his clothing, "I have to come to congratulate your victory, and to tie up some loose ends."
sure, now you come after the fighting is over, retainer , " retorted Inuyasha sarcastically. "What loose ends?"
ends that concern the Shikon Jewel," replied Myouga. "and the fate of it's keeper." Turning his attention to Kagome, he asked, "Lady Kagome, have you decided what is to become of the Shikon Jewel?" She stared at the flea.
Decide?" she stuttered.
naturally," continued the flea, "you are the Keeper of the Shikon Jewel."
yeah, sorry," Kagome flustered, "no, I haven't decided."
see. In a sense, that is good, for I have things to say that might influence your decision." The flea jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder. The whole room was quiet, waiting to hear what Myouga had to say.
Kagome, the jewel must be used before you return to your time." Myouga explained seriously. "If you return to your time with the jewel, demons, or who knows what else will follow you. "
everyone exclaimed. Myouga ignored the outburst and continued. "Even though the Shikon Jewel is complete, there is still an ongoing war inside, good against evil if you will. As you know, if a person or demon uses the the jewel with good intentions, it will be purified. But if it falls into the hands of evil, the Jewel will become more corrupt." Myouga looked at everyone in the room. "There are still many demons still wishing to claim the Jewel as their own, hoping to obtain it to become stronger and more powerful. Demons such as those will kill anything and anyone who will get in their way. " He turned to Kagome. "Now, from what you have told me, demons are no longer seen by people in your time."
I have never seen them, but I guess there could be a few in hiding . . . but what does that have to do with the Jewel?" Kagome questioned.
has everything to do with the jewel. I have come up with a theory that demons in your time have learned to live peacefully with the humans, sort of as equals. Now, if you bring the Jewel back with you, the peace that took years, decades, maybe even centuries to enforce might fall apart." There was a pregnant pause before Myouga continued. "If a demon from your time senses the jewel, chaos will ensue for sure. Demons with all sorts of evil residing in their hearts will come after the Jewel, and you." Kagome stared in horror at Myouga. Mom, Grandpa, Souta. . .I can't put them in danger.
as there are 'no more demons', people in your era no longer practice the art of demon slaying, am I correct?" Myouga pressed.
. .no one practices the art anymore."
it is as I presumed. . ." Myouga's stared intently at Kagome. "Lady Kagome, if you bring that jewel into a time where demons are allowed to roam free and demon slayers no longer exist, it will be like walking into a lion's den. You have no protection but yourself from creatures with evil in their hearts. If a demon senses the Shikon Jewel, there is a very good chance you will be hunted down, and even killed."
