Previously in the chapter 11 :

 

She become pale.

" How…What I have to do ? Kaede says that I have too much power for her and and… So who can help me ? I can't do that alone. I need help. " She start to tremble from fear at the implication of the words of her friend.

 

He pass an hand on his hair and sigh. " But you have to do that by yourself Kagome-sama. "

 

" I CAN'T !!! "

 

" Calm yourself Kagome-sama.( He make a pause). May be…may be you can see Irumi-sama. She is the most powerful miko still alive beside you and you will see what she will have to say. "

 

Kagome take deep breathes to try to calm her erratic heart

 

She nodded "mhm ok. Where can I found her ? "

 

" I know she live close to the border between the western lands and the easthern but not where exactly. "

 

" Ok. I will ask the others if they know. I have to go to say to them about what happens and…"

 

" Do not worry yourself Kagome-sama, they already know. "

 

Kagome pause and look at Miroku with big questionning eyes

" How ? "

 

" They can see and hear us but we don't have a lot of time for me to explain you will see when you will be awaken. "

 

"Ok"

 

" I have a message for you. "

 

" A message ? "

She watch him again with her big brown eyes in wonder. She look so innocent and, he must admit, beautiful than it is difficult to not take her in his arms. He smile down at her

 

" Hai. It is for a little flower. "

Chapter 12 : An old friend and the soup incident, part 2

 

 

 

Kagome raise her eyes towards him, somes tears already threaten to be liberated.

 

« Y-you s-see…you see my F-father ? »

 

Miroku smile down tenderly at her. She seems so fragile that it is almost impossible to believe that her little body contain so much power, like no another he saw in his life. She look most like a little frighten girl than the couragous woman warrior he already saw in her.

 

« Hai, I saw him and spoke to him.

The message is that he is really proud of his Kohana (~little flower), of what she became. And he wanted you to know that like you wasn't responsable of what happened to us, you was not responsible of what happened to him. »

 

« It was my fault ! He came to seek me and died in an accident on his way. If I wasn't that selfish that day and go to my friend instead of come home directly, he could still be alive. I make him cross almost all the town ! »

 

« It was not your fault, Kagome-sama. It was an accident, you said so yourself. You was just a little girl who wanted to play »

 

« But… »

 

« No buts Kagome-sama. »

 

She bend down her head.

 

Miroku couldn't found the words to comfort her. She want so much to do the right thing, to make everyone happy that she beat herself for things she didn't control. He didn't know what to do. How could he make her understand that what happened to her friends or her father was not her fault ? That she didn't have to feel guilty for things she didn't do or things she couldn't prevent ?

 

Kagome is a person so exceptional and that hurt their very soul to watch her punish herself because she couldn't save them. They watch her for one year now, cry when no one look her way for her losts. Someone like her, even more after all what happened, deserve to be happy.

A soft voice make him come back from his throughs

 

« Can you…can you say Hi to the others for me, Miroku-sama ? »she asked timidly

 

« Yes, of course. » he answer with a little sad smile.

Then, something change in his eyes. Their is a little spark that make her uneasy. What is he up to ?

 

« Mhm…before you go back, I wanted to ask you something. »

 

« Sure, Miroku-sama. »

 

He try to stay the most serious possible but he didn't miss the suspicious glance she send his way. He try to contain himself to not grin openly.

 

« What do you do with InuYasha when you come here ? » sounding almost innocent with his question…almost is the central word.

 

« What ?! » she yelled, her face becoming all pale, shoked. she couldn't believe him.

 

« Oh please, Kagome-sama. Each time he had the opportunity to come he is all exited. We can't stop him, like a puppy at which you promised a bone. »

 

At this moment she was beyond shocked. This so-called monk is more and more unbelieveable.

Then, her rage couldn't be contain more longer

 

« We don't do anything of what your perverted mind think ! We just speak ! Ok some hug from time to time but that's it. I can't believe you ! »

She shook from rage and is all red.

 

« You are sure, Kagome-sama ? » he ask innocently or what seem innocently for him that's mean not at all !

 

« Miroku, I swear if you weren't already I would kill you !! RRRR… Who and what do you think am I ?! »

 

« Ok, ok, I believe you but it's suspect, still. » Raising his hands in front of him like to defend himself.

 

« Miroku, I can't even understand how you can think about that ! It's not a real dream and and he is dead and I'm not and I can't do think like that like that !! I…I »

 

 

« Calm down sweat and pure lady Kagome, I know. » At this moment he could prevent the grin. « You can't imagine the reaction of InuYasha when I ask him the same thing. We couldn't even make the difference between his skin and his haori and of course I have to run because he really wanted to kill me…again. »

 

Kagome calm down instantly and even could prevent a giggle.

He smile at her.

 

« It's time to go back, Kagome-sama. »

 

Her face become sad again. She sigh.

« Yes, I know, It's just… »

 

« Hai, I don't want to leave you too. » He said that and brush some hair which fell in front of her face, behind her ear, almost tenderly. He even let his fingers brush lightly on her cheek before taking back his hand.

 

She raised her head and look at him with glossy eyes. Gods that she looks so lost…and hurt.

 

« I miss you and the others so much it's hurt. I'm so afraid. »

 

He feel something hitch his heart when he look down at her.

 

« Ssh (he walk toward her to take her in his arms. She send him a warning look before let him do) Everything will be ok, Kagome-sama. You are powerful, the most powerful women I never saw in my life. » He said softly in her ear, his arms take her in a tight embrace, nuzzling her neck.

 

« No I'm not. Sango was most strong than me and Kikyo was better. » she answered quietly

 

« No Kagome-sama, Sango was powerful yes but not like you and you are nothing like Kikyo-sama never was. YOU are better. »

 

« Luckily InuYasha is not there or he would have knock you out for that. » She force a giggle but it almost stay in the back of her throat.

 

« No. He know it is the truth and… »

 

« Miroku ? (she raise her head to look at him) have you…see her ? » she ask softly in a whisper. « I never had the courage to ask personaly InuYasha and… »

 

« No, Kagome-sama. I didn't see her and InuYasha neither. »

 

« How it is possible I… »

 

« It's complicate but for now, all I can say is that she is not with us. »

 

She look at him strangely but decide to not mush the matter. « O-ok. »

 

« You have to go back now, Kagome-sama. You have to wake up. »

 

« Hai. Remember to say Hi to the others. »

 

« Of course. »

 

At this moment the old Miroku come back to full force and….grop her

 

« Mikoru !! » she screamed from embarassement with a deep blush on her face.

He grin at her. But before she had the time to hit him, she woke up.

« I can't believe him ! We should have castrated him !!! Rrrr… how can he… »

But she froze in her speech when she open her eyes and came face to face with all the Lors and Ladys, Shippo, Rin and behind she could even saw some servants and guards watching her.

 

She blush dark red and lick her lips : « Mhm…Hi everyone. »

 

She could see that some of the people around her seem amused with her reaction and some stay impassible like ever.

 

« Hi, Kagome ! » said a cheerful childish voice. She turn toward the own and offer him a little smile. « Hi Shippo. »

 

« Kagome, do you know what that place is exactly ?  I'm so happy that I saw Miroku, even if him couldn't see me. He is still the same. I'm sad for the women who will cross his way. He will never learn… »

 

He was speaking so rapidly that she had so difficulties to understand everything.

 

« Hush Shippo. No, I don't know what that place really is (she sat up but don't get up right away, feeling a little dizzy) and InuYasha neither so I stop to think about it. And for Miroku, equal to himself, we could say. »

 

He laugh and her too…until she saw that some people around her laugh silently too which make her remember a previous question.

 

« Mhm…How can you see what I see ? »

 

« It's my fault, Kagome-sama. Everyone was curious to be able to see and since it is in my power to enter dreams, I share it with them. Hope you are not angry for our indiscretion. » Said a cold and monotone voice.

 

Kagome look at her during a moment and smile at her with a little shadow of pink on her cheek.

« It's Lady Kugayi, right ? (nodded) No, I'm not angry. May be a little… »

 

« Embarassed  by what we saw? The behavior of you friend, I mean » proposed Kira.

 

Kagome blush again and nodd her head but suddently

« The soup ! It's poisonned. » She try to get up in one jump but she is maintien on the floor by the Lady of the North.

 

« Hush…It's ok. We know.

Apparently, the guard who tried to kill you sister, work at the kitchen. Nobody really knew she was his sister that's why she kept her job. She was new but some servant made the connection when she heard about the poison. And do not worry yourself, like the Houshi said, Rin didn't have the time to touch it so it's ok. »

 

Kagome nodded, thanksful. At this moment, she look at the master of the house

 

« Sesshomaru…I'm sorry about this. »

 

He look at her, his mask right in place and raise a eyebrown at her in question

 

« I mean my presence here. (she shallowed) I'm really sorry. People try to kill me because of what I am and Rin could have been hurt or worst and Kouga almost… » She gulp to try to easy the thing which seems to grow in her throat. But she is interrupt

 

« You don't have to be sorry, Kagome, it's not your fault and you can see that I'm perfectly fine. » said firmly Kouga.

 

« He is right, Kagome-chan. Beside, if people really try to kill you… »

 

« Oh don't worry Kira-chan, it's happened all the time » tried to dismiss Kagome but add in a whisper « but InuYasha always protected me and now… That's why I was so afraid to come back because I know people want to kill me and may be even this new force will try too. I'm not really lucky. (she force a sad smile). And I didn't want Shippo and all the people I care about, be hurt or kill because of me and I'm not good enough to even take care of myself right now. My power echap totally at my control sometimes, when I'm angry or hurt emotionaly, and it is dangerous for the ones around me, even more if they are youkais. One day, I risk to purified more than just my enemy…I'm so afraid of that Kira-chan. I'm pathetic, don't you think ? I'm scared from myself. » She spoke her speech really rapidly and finished almost trembling.

 

« You aren't pathetic Kagome-chan (interjected the lady of the North), your power are the most surprising that we saw on all our life. »

 

« And you never had any real trainning, Kagome. May be it is time to start and everything will be fine. » added Kouga.

 

« He is right. When you will have total control over your power and most important, faith in yourself, everything will be ok. »

 

Kagome look at Kira and Kouga. She know what they try to do but she had so little faith in herself. Despide that, their speech boost her

« But I can't do that alone. I will go to see the Miko Miroku-sama spoke about. But…someone knows were she lives ? »

 

They look at each other but shook their head.

 

« I think (come a soft voice from behind) I think that it is toward the east. 2 or 3 days of walk, Kagome-sama. »

 

She smile at her « thank you, Matsumoto-san. »

 

The servant blush « You are welcome, Kagome-sama. »

 

« Ok, so tomorrow, I will leave toward the East. » Said Kagome with confident.
