Jewel of the Four Souls
Kagome, had enough of being calm, and quiet, and resonable. Like a flame she came to life, sparking, with a burning negence against the unfairness of it all. She was not going to be docile anymore. With the tears of several emotions rolling down her cheeks, she stood, so abruptly, it knocked the chair she was sitting in over.
"How dare you?! How dare you tell me this?! How dare this happen to me, now?! Right, when I've got back to where I belong...all these years...all these years were for nothing..." Kagome yelled savagely at Shippo, though it was not Shippo she was battling.
Shippo stood impassive, stoic with an air of frigid coolness that set Kagome's teeth on edge. He just stood there! Saying absolutely nothing, with no look of emotion to betray his reserve. Her anger unfurled within her body. Who was she mad at...really? She didn't care at the moment. She just felt an overwhelming urge to do...something.
"WHY?! I DIDN'T SPEND ALL THOSE YEARS IN MISERY, TO COME BACK TO MISERY! WHY?! WHY?! WHY DID THEY ALL MOVE ON WITHOUT ME?! I DIDN'T MOVE ON WITHOUT YOU GUYS!!!WHY?! YOU WERE ALL MY LIFE AND YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!...Why...Why did HE have to die?!" She screamed, and fumed, and panted, and cried.
All these years, only a sham. Kagome once thought that her heart's desire was to return to the feudal era...to her...home...but now? No, she had no home. It was as if she no longer belonged in the modern era, nor the feudal era. Where did she, Kagome, belong? WHERE?!
Kagome felt something deep within awaken with a terrorizing shudder. The same pulse she felt before she entered the well pounded against her skull, as if it was trying to break free of her. She held her head, and she sunk to the ground on her knees. It was agony, and pleasure. It was light and dark. Conflicting within the thin barriers of her tatttered mind.
Shippo had caught her the minute she swayed. He held her against him, kneeling, protective arms, locked around her back. He could only wait it out. He held her, he rocked her, he whispered sweet words in her deaf ears.
Kagome, whimpered once, and a splash of color bolted from her eyes, secreated out of her mouth, nose, and ears. Out of her very flesh. Energy rose from her like a red, pale ghost. Like steam from an overheated engine. Her back bowed, and Kagome felt nothing as a shadow passed out of her.
Shippo gasped.
'That shadow! It-It's...It's Kagome's soul'
Shippo held on to her, tight, not allowing the spirit of her soul to drag her with it. It pulled until Kagome screamed in agony. Shippo used every ounce of strength he could, without riping her body in two. Her muscles spasmed, and Shippo heard a rib bone crack.
With a final 'pop', the shadow that resembled Kagome so well, pulled free from the mortal body and ascended through the air. It hovered above her like a vulture. With a crystalline sound of a bell, the shadow swirled together. It twirled and twisted, and spiraled until it was in the perfect shape of a sphere.
'Oh...oh gods!', Shippo found he could not speak, but his mind raced frantically, like a caged thing. He had to stop this, but it was as if time itself froze, and he was paralyzed. Helpless to do anything to prevent this cataclysmic catastrophe.
The shadow seemed to glow...growing...more solid. Until finally with an earthshattering sound, equivalent to a sonic boom, ripped through the sound barriers, and it was if all the world could move and speak and hear once more.
The now, very solid, very real jewel crashed through the top of Shippo's house, revealing the velvety midnight sky, studded with diamond-like stars.
The brightest star was the small orb hovering high, high above them, barely visible. Kagome was unconcious, but she let out an involuntary scream, that was deafening in the silence of the awe-struck night.
Once the piteous, and dejected sound left the poor woman's mouth, the brilliantly shining jewel burst. Shippo watched it...though he had seen it once before. shippo watched it like every other creature in the world, raised their heads up from their life, and gazed at it.
It was the most beautiful thing they all had ever seen...
It was like light pink rain, fell from the sky. Shooting fireworks, falling stars. But very soon they had all disappeared, and left only the night sky- dull blue compared to the glorious display only a few seconds before.
Shippo fell with Kagome to the ground, and rocked her- rocked himself...
'Oh gods, what has happened?! NO!'
"Daddy!", Inukiba raced down stairs, and latched on to his father tightly. A scared child- unknowing of what had happened. Of how it would effect everything and everyone.
Shippo unconciously wrapped an arm around his son, and held him. Kagome's eyes soon refocused, and conciousness graced her once more. She felt so ...empty.
A frightening feeling. It was scaring Kagome out of her mind...It was as if....It was as if, her heart....IT WAS MISSING!
Shippo, rose- unfeeling. Numb with too many emotions. His mind shut down, as he carried Kagome to a sofa, as his little son held onto his sleeve.
Kagome looked up at Shippo in horror...for an explanation. He looked down at her with numb icy eyes.
"Kagome...that, was your heart....That was....your heart was the Shikon no Tama...and, Kagome...your heart just...broke..."
Kagome's eyes froze into a horrifying widened stare. She breathed heavily so as not to faint. She wouldn't faint. She whispered, because her voice knew no other tone at the moment.
"The Shikon Jewel...just...but...I thought we had, destroyed it...with Naraku" Kagome breathed.
Shippo fell short...he knew. He didn't know how he knew, but he did. He spoke, as if it was not himself speaking. Instead he was only a puppet, a mouthpiece for someone else.
"The Shikon no Tama, is also called the Jewel of the Four Souls....Tonight...you cursed yourself Kagome. You damned yourself, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango- what is left of the shard-gatherers. You could not damn Inuyasha and Kikyo, becuase the dead- are the danmed. However, you cursed not only them. Kagome, you cursed four...people. It is the Jewel of FOUR souls Kagome, and it rested within you- and in that moment of realization...you grew something unconquerable...self-hatred. The pure Jewel, could no longer reside in your body, becuase of the four souls you damned"
"So now Kagome...you must begin the Hunt anew"
