Haunted Passions

Chapter VI

 

Sigh... Normally I don't like Kikyo, and now I'm reviving her. This is messed up! However, I hope you enjoy!

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yuyu Hakusho or Inuyasha! I wish I did, but sadly... I don't.

 

Let's talk telepathically!

/Hiei/

(Someone Else)

"But that would kill you!" Kikyo gasped as she stared at the younger miko.

 

"No it won't. I have a spell that I can cast. It'll turn your body human, but it'll also take more of my soul to do so."

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"Our soul will even out. We shall each hold half. But there is more to it." Kagome stated in an even tone.

 

"What is that?"

 

"Youki must be present for it to work. Shippo's will do, though a stronger one would be better. Shippo has already agreed to help. Blood is also necessary from the youkai. Most would never attempt this spell, and in truth only two people have. Neither case consisted of the soul being shared, but I have already taken that into account and fixed the wording of the spell."

 

"What else is needed?"

 

"We shall be bound as sisters." Kagome stated in an eerily calm voice. "Well will take on a few of the others' qualities. We may also share a mental link, though I am not positive. Emotions can be shared through the bond as well if that happens. I am certain that no one has ever thought to attempt what I am about to."

 

"What exactly do you plan on attempting?"

 

"To put it simply, a recreation of the Shikon's powers. With my ki and Shippo's youki, we will use those two forces as well as Goshinboku's Reiki to form the powers. Through you, we shall form the four souls."

 

"How am I to help with that?" Kikyo was curious now. Never before had an attempt like this been done. "Also, how were those other two attempts done?"

 

"The other two attempts both succeeded and failed. Not enough energy was formed to create what was needed. The principle of using the jewel was never thought of. No one thought it possible to replicate that power, but I believe it to be possible. You are needed because of the souls which lay within you." Calling the soul collectors to herself, she whispered instructions to them. Four of them came to Kikyo who remained still, trusting Kagome with her life. They each pulled a soul from her and returned to Kagome. After examining each one, she smiled. "Perfect. All four."

 

"Now what do we need to do?" Kikyo asked calmly.

 

"Can you wake Shippo?" The older miko nodded and set to waking the kit. Kagome worked on getting the supplies ready. She set out a bowl and filled it with water before pulling out a knife. "Shippo, can you come here?" Holding the bowl in her hand she motioned to it. Understanding what she needed, he used his claws to slice his wrist and let his blood drip into the water. Picking up the knife, she sliced her wrist and allowed her own blood to mix in with Shippo's. "That should do." Mumbling a spell, the water glowed a violet pink color before turning completely crimson.

 

"Now what do we do Kagome?" Kikyo asked hesitantly.

 

"Lean against the tree and drink from the bowl as I cast the spell." Nodding, Kikyo took the bowl as Kagome handed it to her and relaxed against the glowing God Tree. "Considering Goshinboku is also a tree of ages, it shook make this even easier." Sighing, Kagome allowed her body to relax, but she needed to be completely relaxed. So she thought about the previous day, when she was carried on Hiei's back and they flew through the air. "Let out your youki Shippo." The kit nodded and released his hold on his aura. "Call on the powers of the souls." She directed toward the floating snakes, better known as soul collectors. The white souls began to glow as power was called forth from them. "Prepare yourselves." She said as she looked at the others. "I'm fully releasing my aura."

 

Crimson eyes widened in shock at the immense aura the girl let off. Waves upon waves surged forth as her body took on a pink glow. When her eyes opened they were glowing pink. He heard her voice as she started chanting the spell and Kikyo began to drink from the bowl. The Goshinboku's glow brightened and Shippo started to glow green. The souls were glowing four different colors. Red, blue, gray, and brown. When the chant finished Kagome collapsed and so did Kikyo. Their soul shot forth and merged together before splitting in two. The other four souls also split into two, and one half of each joined with each half of the mikos' soul. Then each half glowed a different color before Shippo's glow brightened and some of his youki went to surround each of the halves. Next thing that happened was that the Goshinboku's glow spread forth. A tiny bit of it's energy entered the pink half, then a lot of it's energy surrounded and entered the violet half. Once the souls were done glowing and collecting energy, they seeped back into the two bodies. The pink half entered Kikyo as the violet half entered Kagome.

 

Brown eyes fluttered open slowly and took in their surroundings before their hand reached up to their chest. "I have a heartbeat."

 

"Kikyo!" Shippo exclaimed as he hugged her. "Momma's not up yet."

 

Smiling at the kit she slowly rose. "Then let's go wake her." They made their way over to her, and Kikyo pulled Kagome into her lap. Silently brushing a few strands of hair from her face she leaned down to her ear to whisper a command. "Wake up Kagome."

 

Dull blue eyes slowly opened and looked into honey brown. A large smile overtook Kagome's face as her eyes turned into a sparkling sapphire. The man in the trees tensed and looked on in awe at how the young woman glowed with happiness. The miko threw arms around the elder one and began laughing. "I did it! I really did it!"

 

"Yes, yes you did Kagome." Kikyo said with a smile of her own. "I'm amazed that it was possible."

 

"The four souls were willing to help, Oramitama, Nigimitama, Sakimitama, and Kushimitama. We each got half of each soul as well as some youki and Reiki. What you drank from the bowl was the blood of the living, to turn you human. Shippo's was needed because he has fast healing since he's a demon, it allowed the spell to work faster."

 

Shippo started giggling as he looked between the two. "Can you imagine the looks on everyone's faces when they see what you've done momma?"

 

"I imagine they'll look shocked." She stated as she rose, smile still in place. It faltered however when she realized two things. "We'll be seeing them soon actually, they're headed this way... And Hiei won't be shocked."

 

"How do you know that?" Kikyo asked with her head cocked to the side. "Is he using the jagan to watch us? Can it even see through the barrier?"

 

Giggling, she turned to Kikyo with her eyes flashing a sparkling sapphire. "Silly, he's already here. I guess I should've looked around before deciding to do the spell."

 

"Probably, but then again he's hard to sense. I still can't sense him."

 

"He's really good at shielding." Sighing, she looked between Kikyo and Shippo. "I suppose you should drop the barrier now. Shippo, wanna throw people off even more?"

 

"Hai momma!"

 

"Then start calling her Aunt Kikyo." She said as she gestured to the older miko, who's smile brightened upon hearing that. Shippo nodded with a smile.

 

Inuyasha and the others burst into the clearing a few minutes later and looked on. "What the fuck is going on here?!"

 

The two miko's shared a look before both nodded. "Sit boy." A loud boom was heard as Inuyasha was driven into the ground. He pushed himself up slowly while cursing and sent a dark look at Kagome. "You shouldn't curse in front of Kikyo or Shippo."

 

Suddenly, Inuyasha took a step back. He was looking at Kikyo, then at Kagome. "How...?"

 

"I used a spell my grandfather found for me. Now we are both alive." Kagome said calmly as her eyes returned to being dull, though they were a little brighter than normal. Kikyo smiled and took hold of Kagome's hand and offered her other to Shippo.

 

"I think it's time for bed. Inuyasha, please get Kagome's bag." And she started leading them back to the village.

 

"I am tired Aunt Kikyo." Shippo said as he yawned slightly. Inuyasha, who was heading to get the bag tripped as he heard that and fell.

 

The next morning, the two miko rose before dawn. Both helped make breakfast and then woke the others. Kagome woke Shippo and Kirara before going to see if Hiei wanted any. After they finished eating, they set out. "I want to hurry." Inuyasha said as he stopped to allow Kikyo onto his back.

 

Kagome nodded to Shippo who transformed into a giant hawk. She climbed onto his back as Sango and Miroku climbed onto a newly transformed Kirara. Hiei was moving through the trees, and he could easily keep up. His eyes kept straying to the miko in order to observe her and make sure she was ok. They took off as soon as everyone was situated. Shippo took to the sky quickly and flew a little away from the others, as per normal. Of course, he ended up closer to Hiei, though he didn't know it. Shippo slowed a little when he felt Kagome tense. "What's wrong momma?"

 

Her dull eyes seemed so scared. "Naraku..." She whispered.

 

Shippo went into action as he sped up to Inuyasha. "Momma feels Naraku."

 

Inuyasha slid to a halt and set Kikyo down as Kirara landed so the others could find out what's going on. "Where's he at?" Inuyasha asked gruffly as he looked at the young miko. All she could do was point toward the east. At that moment, Naraku appeared.

 

He looked around the group before settling lust filled eyes onto Kagome. "Did you miss me my delicious miko?"

 

Her entire body was shaking as she stared at him. She wanted to be far away from him. "Stay away from me!"

 

"I don't think so miko. You will be mine."

 

And the battle started. Hiei was also fighting, and he was doing the best out of everyone. His speed and deadly accuracy allowed him to get close, but not close enough. The tentacles were everywhere, and they were hard to get by. Kikyo, Kagome, and Shippo stood to the back, but that soon changed. Kagome was literally shaking with fear, but she had to start dodging tentacles that were aimed for her. Shippo had ended up with Kikyo, and Kagome saw the tentacle before she did. Without any thoughts to herself, Kagome raced toward them and shoved the two out of the way, getting pierced through the shoulder in the process. It removed itself from her body and wrapped around her, pulling her against him before any of them realized what happened.

 

"Dammit!" Inuyasha cursed as he saw it.

 

Naraku's evil laughter surrounded them as he held the barely conscious woman. "It seems she's mine again."

 

"Never!" The word was whispered and laced with venom and hatred, causing everyone to look at the girl in Naraku's arms. "I will never be yours! I'd rather die!" A backlash of power threw the others a few feet back as pure white light surrounded Kagome's body. Her aura fully unleashing itself in a mighty blast that nearly completely destroyed Naraku. His barrier was thrown at the last minute and saved him from being completely destroyed. He escaped as her body fell back to the ground. Hiei was first to react and used his speed to catch her. Kikyo then went into action. Grabbing the back pack Kagome dropped, she searched for the medical supplies and pulled them out, then raced to Kagome's side as Hiei laid her down.

 

Everyone else started setting up camp as Kikyo worked. Having Hiei somewhat help when she needed Kagome moved. Shippo handed her whatever she needed. It took her half an hour to get the wound to quit bleeding and bandage it. Sango looked through her pack and tried to find her sleeping bag, but couldn't. Shippo snickered at her look of annoyance. "Momma and I are going to sleep in the trees."

 

"Keh! There's no way that bitch can get up there."

 

"Shut up Inu-baka. Momma can get up there, and will." He turned his attention away from the angry hanyou and nuzzled into his mother's neck.

 

"Mmmm..." Her eyes slowly opened and she winced from the slight pain in her shoulder. "Shippo?"

 

"Are you ready for bed momma?" Nodding, she slowly got up while trying not to move her shoulder. Walking to her backpack, she pulled out two things and returned to Shippo. He transformed into a pink ball and floated her up into the tree, where she settled herself and allowed Shippo to curl up in her lap. He looked down at Inuyasha and stuck his tongue out. "Told ya she'd get up here."

 

"Stupid brat." He mumbled. "Don't come crying to me when you both fall."

 

"We won't be falling." Kagome stated as she pulled a fox pelt over Shippo, then pulled the cover over both of them.

 

"You still have my father?" Shippo asked with wide eyes.

 

"Of course I do Shippo." Kagome said as she smiled sweetly at her son. "He's always here to protect you, so I thought it best to keep him."
