Kagome remained unconcious for the next three days. Everyone was getting worried. What started out to be a normal fainting spell turned into a coma. Kaede was puzzled. Everything seemed fine, except for the fact her energy had be drained. Sango hardly left Kagome's side, while Miroku and Shippou stayed near the hut. Inuyasha traveled back and forth from Goshinboku, checking up on her at least 8 times a day, and began sleeping in the hut at night. But once morning came, Inuyasha left the group, only returning to eat or to look for any improvement on Kagome's condition. At sundown on the third day, the dog demon was extremely worried.
he barked at the old woman.
Inuyasha?"
isn't she getting any better?" Inuyasha leaned over and put a hand to Kagome's forehead. "She doesn't seem sick."
because she isn't, ye ungrateful dog. The Jewel used up all her strength, leaving her extremely exhausted."
gazed at Kagome's face. She's still a little pale . . . but she looks alright . . . no cuts or bruises . . . His gaze dropped down a little, to where the Shikon Jewel lay around her neck. He was surprised to see the Jewel's color to be slightly less rich than it's usual purple hue.
wrong with the Jewel? Why does the color look dull?" Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kaede rushed to Kagome. Kaede picked up the jewel, examining it. "I've never noticed the jewel before . . . have any of ye?" Sango, Miroku, and Shippou shook their heads. All this time they were worried about Kagome; they had over looked the jewel.
and the Jewel are connected, so naturally it wouldn't be in top shape either," a voice stated. The group turned around to find Myouga sitting on the window sill, sipping a cup of tea.
yourself, old man," Inuyasha demanded, rising from his seated position. "What do you mean Kagome and the Jewel are connected?"
took another sip of his tea, set it down on his miniscule table, and turned to face everyone. "Master Inuyasha, tell me, after Kikyou died, where did you find the Shikon Jewel?"
that's a dumb question, Old man!" growled Inuyasha, "It was inside Kagome's body!"
In a sense, the Jewel is part of her, is it not? Seeing as she was born with it." The room fell silent. So it makes sense for the Jewel to be out of shape, since Kagome's not exactly herself . . .
Shippou started slowly, "If the Jewel gets better, then Kagome gets better?" Myouga sipped some more tea. "Actually, it's the other way around. If Kagome gets better, then the Jewel becomes normal once again." Seeing the confused face on the kitsune, Myouga further explained, "You see, the Jewel was only part of Kagome. Her body was the actual host, so the Jewel depends on it. "
who had been silent until now, asked, "Myouga, I have a question. If the Shikon Jewel is made up of soul, and it's a part of Kagome, is there some possibility that her soul is connected with it?"
cup in Myouga's hand froze in midair. Six pairs of eyes were fixed upon the flea, waiting for a response. Myouga sighed, set down his tea once more, and began to speak. "Yes, there is a very good chance it could be. " He eyed every single one in the room critically. "During the fight three days ago, against the snake demon, you all saw Kagome's body being taken over the Jewel, am I correct?" Everyone nodded except the old priestess. "Ever since I witnessed her transformation, there has been a nagging thought in the back of my head."
snorted. "What, another theory?"
Master Inuyasha, in a way it is," replied the flea, ignoring his snide remark. "Sango," the demon slayer's head jerked up at her name, "you remember the story of Midoriko well, don't you?"
yes . . . " She responded slowly. "She was the priestess from which the Shikon Jewel was forged; it is said that her the Jewel is her very soul. She cast out the Jewel from her body before she died."
Myouga continued, "and after the Jewel was cast out, the people from your village came here, and presented it to Kikyou, am I correct?" Sango nodded.
are you getting at, Myouga?" Miroku asked.
flea paused, then said, "I have never witnessed anyone use the Jewel in that manner before. It was as if Kagome and the Jewel were one; Kaede, have you ever seen Kikyou use the Jewel?"
shook her head. "Kikyou never used it . . . she just cared for it."
so my suspicions are becoming true," Myouga said softly, staring at his tea. "What suspicions?" Inuyasha asked impatiently. "Hurry up Old man, I don't have all night."
sighed once more. "The only other person who could harness such a power from the Jewel was Midoriko. While I watched Kagome destroy the snake demon, I couldn't help but notice how the two were similar. Tell me, was there ever a time when Kagome's soul was tried to be taken from her?"
was Shippou who spoke. "When we first encountered Kanna . . . she had tried to take Kagome's soul, but she couldn't . . ." the kitsune trailed off.
right," Miroku added, "She wasn't able to accomplish her task. Kanna's mirror was completely filled to the brim, yet Kagome was still concious and moving."
see . . ." Myouga thought for a second. "My guess is Kagome's soul is made up from three souls, instead of just one."
exclaimed Inuyasha. "She has more than one soul?"
and no, Master Inuyasha. The soul residing in Kagome is one whole, and it belongs completely to her. But, there is a very good chance that her soul is made up from a combination of others." Myouga glanced at the blank stares once again. "We already know that Kagome is Kikyou's reincarnate. " He paused, then continued. "Then there is Kagome's soul, combined with Kikyou's."
room was quiet for a moment. "What about the other soul?" Kaede asked. "Ye said she might be made up of three, but ye only mentioned two."
flea hesitated for a moment. "This is only a guess . . . I don't have any facts to be sure . . . "
tell us old man!" Inuyasha growled. Myouga was silent for a few more seconds, then complied. "The third soul might possibly be--"
Everyone turned towards the bed, surprised at the voice that interrupted. The figure was no longer laying in the bed, but sitting up, her legs dangling off the side. Her eyes were open, her face expressionless.
