Pains of the Past

Chapter 12

Bleary eyes took in the white surroundings around her as she sat up.

Inutaisho sat in front of her, sympathy in his eyes "After all this time...You still bear his mark..." she looked down at her upper thigh noticing the dark red spider on it.

"I know...It just won't go away..."

"Try using your holy powers to purify it..." she focused deep inside of her reaching for the unused ability.

"I can't...What type of room am I in?"

Inutaisho disappeared momentarily before reappearing "Seems they put you in the room next to Yu...However, our room is heavily sealed like that door to the axe..." she sighed.

"Then I won't be able to use them until I wake up...Is there anyone in the room with me?"

"Hm Guren I believe is in the room right now...Mahiru is hovering quite worriedly behind him..."

"Do you think you could bring Mahiru in here?" the dog demon nodded quietly, vanishing before reappearing with the human turned demon.

"Mahiru...Over here" the lilac haired crimson eyed woman turned smiling at kagome.

Kneeling in front of her she placed her hand son kagome's cheeks "How're you feeling?"

"Like I got hit with a train..." they both shared a laugh.

"You scared me you know...Screaming like that..." kagome sighed resting her forehead against her deceased friends.

"I'm sorry...It seems I didn't purify the mark properly...And he managed to gain control...I'll have to try again when I get out of the prison they've locked me in..." Mahiru grinned mischievously.

"You want me to wake you up?" kagome nodded and they kissed each other's cheeks sharing power.

Kagome woke up gasping clutching her heart "A little too much power I think..." She eeped when strong arms wrapped around her.

"Don't do that ever again! Idiot! You had us all worried!" she pushed guren off of her before standing up the white nightgown barely reached her knees.

"Who...Who changed me? Who changed me?!" she turned to Guren who had his hands up in surrender.

"I didn't honest! It was Sayuri!" she relaxed before patting his head.

"I'm sorry..." with those words she walked out and into the next room to curl herself around Yu.

Said boy woke up only minutes after kagome had fallen asleep again "Huh? Okaa-san? Where am I?"

"In the hospital now lie back down" of course her sleep was interrupted by Yoichi entering.

"Yay! You two are awake!" Kagome's mumble of barely had him laughing nervously "I'll get everyone!" He shot off and kagome rose scratching her head.

"Okaa-san...Mika is really...He's really alive..." she smiled gently bringing him into a hug as he cried into her chest.

"Indeed he is...You've go through so much my boy...I hope this gave you some form of happiness..."

"Ah...Motherly love! It's so sweet...So nurturing!" Kagome chuckled gesturing her over.

"Ah...Yu-san it's good to see you awake!"

"Shinoa? What happened?"

"Do you not remember?" he shook his head still looking at her curiously.

"Ah well...lost consciousness and kagome enraged by your laziness lost control and killed everyone!" he turned sharply at his mother, sighing when they both laughed.
