(Someone Else)

'Kagome's powers talking to her'

 

-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

 

Stars shone brightly against the dark night's sky. The moon was full and shone with beauty. A soft breeze floated through the trees below, where a young woman sat wrapped in the arms of a fire demon. Her sapphire blue eyes shone nearly as brightly as the stars as her aura wrapped calmly around her body. What she didn't notice was that it was slowly entwining with the fire demon's aura. Said demon had an aura of crimson red and ocean blue. The red took up most of it though. If the girl concentrated hard enough, she could see the two colors clash against each other for dominance. Though at the moment they were calm.

 

Her very presence soothed the raging powers. She was a young and untrained miko, but also a powerful one. For she was the Shikon Miko, though she did not yet know it. The shards of the tama hung around her neck, and yet no one could see them. Every member of their group believed that Kikyo held the shards, but it was Kagome who kept them safe. It was thoughts like that which kept her up this night. As well as questions to herself.

 

Closing her mind off to the outside world, she went deep inside herself. How do I feel about Hiei? 'You love him.' Fire? 'Hai.' How do you know? She really needed to know this. 'He is our soul mate. Forever ours.' With those words, the voice receded. Willing herself to look deep inside herself, she found what she was looking for. Though she knew she cared for the apparition, she didn't know how much. Now she did. She had asked herself and it had been answered... kind of. She didn't know how much, but she now knew she did love him.

 

Her eyes slowly opened to look back out at the sky. Jumping a little when noticed the arms around her tighten, she turned back to stare into crimson eyes. "Can't sleep?"

 

Slowly, a smile appeared on the girl's face and she shook her head. "I have to many things on my mind. Memories, questions, problems."

 

"What memories?"

 

Closing her eyes, she sighed. "Memories of things before you arrived. Before Kikyo arrived, when it was Shippo, the group, and I."

 

"Show me." Hiei stated as he held her closer.

 

She shook her head no. "I don't want anyone dead."

 

His hold on her tightened further. "Why would they be dead?"

 

The miko managed to move his arms and turn so she straddled his lap. Once that was accomplished, she laid her head down on his chest. "For some reason, you like me. That means you're protective of me, right?" He nodded. "What you would see, you wouldn't like."

 

"I still want to know." She looked about to object. "I promise not to kill anyone."

 

The girl in his arms sighed. "Not here then."

 

He nodded and dropped to the ground, where he picked up her back. Keeping her in his arms, he headed for a nearby spring. When Kagome looked at him curiously, he shrugged. "I did not get to bathe earlier."

 

Smiling, she nodded. "Alright." Once they were settled into the spring, Kagome moved to lean against Hiei. He was shocked for a moment, but slowly slid his arm around her, resting it on her hip. She didn't say anything about it, simply snuggled closer to him. "Are you ready?" At his nod, she allowed her memories to flow to him.

 

Memories

Slowly she sat up, letting the others know she was ok. Quickly they rushed to her side. All except Inuyasha. He stood in the doorway with a look of disgust on his face. "It's about fuckin' time wench. Get the hell up and get dressed so we can leave."

 

"I can barely move Inuyasha!" She hissed at the hanyou.

 

Glaring at the others, he ordered them all out. With a slight nod from Kagome, Shippo reluctantly left the hut as well. "I don't care whether or not you can move bitch! You moved enough to fuck Naraku, so you sure as hell can move your ass now!"

 

Surprise showed on Kagome's face, before anger began to take over. "Is that what you think? You think I... I had sex with that... that... thing! Well you're wrong! I was raped Inuyasha! You know, forcibly taken, against my will! So you can just sit and shut up! In fact, SIT some more. Sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit!"

 

The others had wisely remained outside of the hut, but that was rather unfortunate for the young miko. The hanyou slowly rose from where he had been slammed into the ground. "Fucking bitch!" He roared as he struck with his demon strength. Tears came to her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. The side of her face was quickly swelling and turning red. "Don't ever fucking sit me again you filthy whore! Now get your ass up and get ready to leave." Shaking her head no, she moved back against the wall. Murder was in the hanyou's eyes as he stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and yanked her off the bed. Her body strongly protested and she bit into her lip so she didn't scream out in pain. She was tossed to the floor, landing near her book-bag on the other side of the room. "Get the fuck ready."

 

He stormed from the hut, and Kagome allowed the tears to fall. Outside, she heard someone cry out, then a red blur rushed into the hut. The kit's eyes widened in shock at what he saw. "Kagome!" Rushing to her, he tried helping her up and back to bed, but she shook her head no.

 

"Please Shippo..." She winced as she tried to speak. "Help me dress."

 

Glaring at the door for a moment, the kit turned and nodded. Pulling out something she pointed out. It was loose pants and a large t-shirt. It was difficult, but he managed to help her get her pajamas off, then her clothes on. But he got to see what was underneath before he had. Bandages covered all of her torso, and most of her limbs. Once he was done, he ran to find Kaede quickly. He told her what was going on, and she came immediately to check on the girl. The old miko worked quickly and gave her herbs to help numb the pain. Then a salve was given to Shippo to put in her bag.

The group was slowly moving, and Kagome once again had to 'ride' Kirara. Shippo had to transform into something taller so he could hold her sideways across his lap. He said that he was taking his father's humanoid form just so he could make her comfortable. It hurt for her to even attempt riding normal. Her face was no longer swollen, though it did hurt. That's when he called her aside and slapped her after telling her that he had chosen Kikyo.

Her body still ached, but she was healed. Scars littered her entire frame, but that was nothing to her. It had been a year since everything had happened. Some of the wounds inflicted on her flesh took a long time to heal because of the miasma that lay inside the wounds. Looking around her, she quickly took off for the well. Her mother had told her that she wished her home for tomorrow, and she planned to get there. The only fear she held was of what Inuyasha would do to her once he found out. Whenever she had tried to sit him, he became violent. Sango and Miroku never stepped in when he did it in front of them. Kirara had tried once, but Sango and Miroku kept a hold of her.

 

The monk had actually placed a barrier around her so she couldn't transform. Shippo had also tried to stop Inuyasha once. That once, he had hurt the kit quite a lot. Kagome had thrown herself at the hanyou and knocked him over. Her kit lay unconscious, but the boy would be ok. Inuyasha's attention returned to her, and he threw her from himself. A crack was heard as she hit a tree. Her shoulder had hit first, and something cracked. From that day on, she couldn't use her left arm. It took three months before whatever it was healed.

He had gone to slap her again, but Kikyo grabbed his hand. "What do you think you're doing?"

 

Kagome backed away from him now. Inuyasha merely glared at her. "The bitch is lying again. There's no fuckin way she did that shit!"

 

Now Kikyo glared at him. "No Inuyasha, she did." Releasing the stunned hanyou's wrist, she took the girl's hand and led her away to look over her injuries.

 

"Y-you believe me?"

 

"Hai. I know what happened." Kikyo said softly as she looked at the girl's side. A demon had tore into it only moment's ago. Kikyo was the one who had saved her this time. Normally it was either Shippo or Kirara.

 

"Thank you!" Kagome cried desperately as she surged forward and hugged the girl. "Thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you!" Tears were slowly coursing down the girl's cheeks.

"Kagome, how are you?" Miroku asked as he walked over to her.

 

She attempted to smile, but failed. "I'm fine."

 

"Your side is injured though." He pointed out.

 

She shrugged, the pain not really setting in. "I've been through worse." Her voice was quiet as she spoke the truth, and the monk flinched at the words. Nodding, he left quickly.

"Would you like some help Kagome?"

 

Looking behind her, she nodded with a small smile. Though, it was fake. "Sure Kikyo."

 

The older miko sat down behind her, and started helping her finish with the bandages for her back. "I just wanted to say, I'm sorry Kagome."

 

"Sorry for what?" Kagome asked, a bit of curiosity in her tone.

 

"I'm sorry that you've been hurt so bad because of me."

 

The young girl turned quickly and hugged the older. "None of this is your fault."

 

"If I hadn't been revived, Inuyasha would've chosen you. And he would've done so a long time ago."

 

Kagome held the other's chin up with her fingers. "You didn't ask to be revived. This was meant to be. You were meant to get Inuyasha. Perhaps I was meant to have no one."

 

That's when Kikyo hugged her back. "Everyone is meant for someone."

 

"But who would want me now?"

Kagura had just appeared out of nowhere. Her feather descended and she jumped off to stand before their group. Kikyo had left not long ago to see to something her soul collectors had told her about. "It's such a shame that you're no longer pure. If you were, maybe you would've succeeded in killing Naraku when you blew him apart."

 

The group's eyes widened as they looked at the wind sorceress, then at Kagome. The girl was staring at the wind witch with wide eyes. "What the fuck're you talkin about?"

 

"I thought you knew. Oh, and you've made him so happy Inuyasha. All three of you have." She said as she pointed at Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. Before any of them could ask how so, she answered. "With the way you treated the poor girl. He found it very amusing."

"You are not going home wench!"

 

"Inuyasha... it's my birthday. Mother wants me to be there." The voice was calm, and sounded depressed. The hanyou would've winced, but he was used to this. Hardly anyone could seem to get emotion out of her anymore. The fire in her eyes was slowly dying out. Though it was currently still there.

 

"Fine, but come the fuck but as soon as she doesn't need you there." Kagome gave a nod and headed off for the well.

"We're heading for the mountains." Inuyasha called out from the head of the group.

 

Everyone else nodded, but Kagome spoke up. "Why?"

 

The inu-hanyou glared at her for questioning him. "There's a shard rumor there."

 

"Alright." The girl said in a practically dead voice that caused three of the others to wince.

End of Memories

 

Hiei was currently growling. He wanted to murder a certain hanyou... make that two. Naraku would be next. Unfortunately, he told Kagome he wouldn't kill anyone. Looking down, he noticed her shaking. Then he remembered that she could feel his emotions. "You can feel my anger, can't you?"

 

"H-hai. It hurts, but it's dulled. I can somewhat control it. I learned to weeks ago." He nodded, but tried calming down. The young miko could tell that it wasn't working though, so she moved away from him. "Wet your hair. I'll wash it for you."

 

He did as told and she began massaging shampoo into his scalp. His anger now forgotten as he purred at the sensations. Since his anger was gone, he decided he'd try asking her questions. "Are birthdays special in your time?"

 

"Mmhmm. Mine's actually coming up soon."

 

"When?"

 

"Three weeks."

 

"How old will you be?"

 

"Twenty-two."

 

"How long will you be home?"

 

That confused her. "I'll be going home for three days once we reach the village."

 

"Aren't you going home for your birthday?"

 

"No." She said with a sigh. "I'll probably spend it here."
