Chapter 10:

Kagome took the splinter that was in his body as in the other. Inuyasha took Tessaiga and went back to Ashenton. Inuyasha kept looking at his right hand on which the symbol was. He couldn't believe he was the guardian. Tieena went alone this time because she wanted to lead the group back quickly before it got dark. Kinako, who had been walking behind Kagome so far, turned to Inuyasha. He was visibly confused that he, of all people, was the guardian. Kinako decided to talk to him. Maybe she could help him a little. Kinako was now walking next to Inuyasha. Inuyasha liked the fact that she was walking next to him because he had some questions. "Kinako? What kind of skills do I have now?" he asked sadly. "Well. Black magic and also a little death magic. That means you can fire black energy balls, cast curses, use talisman magic, and a lot more, but we still have to find out" Inuyasha looked at her a little puzzled."You know a lot about it for not mastering black magic" Kinako couldn't reply. "You were really good. Afterwards I want to know exactly how strong you are. We'll do a test fight. Agree?" Kinako nodded. “But believe me, I won't make it easy for you!” They continued to talk the same way. They got along really well. They often laughed and told about demons they had met and knew. But they didn’t notice that evil looks were directed at them.

Kagome didn't look particularly clean but also not exactly happy to the two of them. She watched the whole thing with mixed feelings. But she trusted Kinako and couldn't do anything else but watch. Not only did Kagome look at them, Miroku, Sango and Shippo and Kirara looked at them both. But their looks were puzzled. Because it seldom happened that Inuyasha got on well with someone. But worst of all were someone else's looks. Even worse than Kagome's look.It was Tieena's. She looked angrily at the two of them. Actually, she just looked angry at Kinako, but she didn't get anything out of it with just as little as Inuyasha. Since everyone was looking back, they hardly noticed where they were actually walking. And one was punished for that. They all went back to Ashenton as soon as possible. But suddenly Kinako stopped. Inuyasha still turned on her back with Tieena. "Kinako what have you got?" Kinako only answered seconds later. "Quickly we have to take cover!" They all didn't know what was going on, but they did it and hid so that they couldn't be seen. It was soon confirmed why she said that. A kite flew overhead looking for something. When he was gone, they dared to come out of their hiding place again. "There was also a splinter of the jewel in his body," said Kagome. Inuyasha wanted to shout right away why she hadn't said that right away, but Tieena spoke now that made him forget this thought."It is also one of the creature's army. He must have brought the dragons back to life with the splinters and sent them off to look for his weapon. He will definitely be free soon." Now they hurried even more to Ashenton get.

They had arrived. They stood on the platform and talked about everything. Yasion was there again. "As expected, Inuyasha the guardian is very good then only one is missing but time is of the essence. His army has awakened and is trying to free their master again," he said. Inuyasha looked up. "What do you mean here as expected? Did you know that I was the guardian?" Yasion no longer looked so calm. He got beads of sweat on his forehead. "Well, we knew it, but I guess I forgot" Everyone saw him with a look that probably said everything. If Yasion had thought of that, they could have saved the whole thing. But Yasion hadn't forgotten. He just couldn't say that it was already clear that he was the guardian.



You have all been invited to stay here. Much to everyone's delight. But they did not go to sleep yet. They were all still talking. They all sat in the meadow in front of the beautiful river with the waterfall. They talked until the first indicated tiredness. It was Shippo who yawned tiredly. "Oh Shippo we should go to sleep now!" came from Kagome with a smile. Sango and Miroku also went to sleep each in their own room. Inuyasha, Kinako and Tieena stayed there. Kagome hid behind a tree to wait and see when Tieena left. Tieena left soon too, she smiled at Inuyasha who smiled at her too. Kagome saw that and it made her angry. Tieena went to her room and Kagome even after she gave Tieena a dirty look. Now only Inuyasha and Kinako were awake and still sat in silence. Both felt a little stupid but now they wanted to break the silence. "You're not as bad as I thought you are.Why aren't you trying to destroy me? After all, I'm a demon and it's your mission. . . "Inuyasha was cut off by Kinako." Why should I destroy you too? You are a demon but you are not evil and my mission is to destroy only evil beings. And besides, I get on just fine with you. "Inuyasha smiled. Somehow he felt familiar to himself, but it was a feeling that was different with someone else." Inuyasha? "Inuyasha looked up." Hmm? "" You love Kagome-chan right ?! “Inuyasha blushed abruptly.” What. . . uh me? Is that so obvious? . . ? Wait a minute I'm not in love with her and how do you come up with it? "Kinako smiled. She had a plan. Kinako laughed at his red face." Well, that says it all. But I know what makes you doubt "Inuyasha looked at her inquiringly." That with Kikyo won't let you go and you are now wondering who your feelings really apply to.Such an inner conflict can be quite a mess. I only want to help you. "Inuyasha couldn't believe it. She had seen through him completely. As if she had read his mind." Well, yes. I don't know what to do I like Kagome, but I can't forget Kikyo either. What should I be able to do about it ?! "" You can do a lot about it. At some point you will realize that. You can only love one person with all your heart and you will soon find out. "Inuyasha looked at her. She understood him so well that it was scary to him." How do you know? And what should I do about it? "Kinako thought back to when she had dealt the cards to Kagome. She had predicted to Kagome that the man who brought her a lot of grief would soon choose between two women. Now she knew that Inuyasha was meant by that and the two women were at stake None other than Kagome and Kikyo. "I just know. I've predicted this before, and I have assumed that you will soon make up your mind. "Inuyasha listened up.“How laid?” Kinako took her tarot card out of her pocket and showed it to him. She explained to him how it worked with the cards and Inuyasha didn't believe her until some time later that it would work. Then she put it back in her pocket. "You are a great help to me, but why am I telling you all this?" Kinako had to smile. "You have to confide in someone. You need someone you trust can help you. Everyone needs that" They talked a little longer and then they went to sleep. Everyone was already asleep, only one was still awake. It was Kinako. She could sense other people's feelings when she wanted to, and Kagome and Inuyasha have a lot of grief. She wanted to help both of them. But how did she manage that Inuyasha could now decide. With a spell but what. She could choose the decision spell, but it was pretty noticeable. She didn't really want to use it. Then there was the truth spell, but after 24 hours it lost its effect and nobody can remember it, only those who cast the spell still know what happened in the last 24 hours.So that was stupid too, but then there was the magic to read minds. That's it. She tells Kagome about it and performs the spell with her. Then she does that with Inuyasha and everyone can read each other's thoughts and she could also experience everything. She just hoped they wouldn't mind if she interfered there. Then she slept too.



It was early in the morning and few were awake. Tieena was awake and at Yasion to discuss where to look, but they had to wait and see. Because until Kinako had no vision, they couldn't search either. Then Inuyasha was awake and Kinako. She knew that Kagome was asleep and wanted to start with Inuyasha for the magic that should help them. But she kept thinking about the consequences. What if they found out something that only made it worse. But she would already find out and besides, the magic only lasts 55 hours.So a little longer than two days. When she finally found Inuyasha she was a bit surprised because she found it a bit strange when she thought back to his statement. He was talking to a couple of elves. However, not in their language but in another. The language of whites also known as Aramaic among humans and evil beings. That was an age-old language that less and less mastered. Funny that Inuyasha ruled them because demons didn't even try to learn, at least most of them. Few understood this language, but Kinako understood it. It was still the main language of the witches as it was of the people of their day English. They weren't talking about anything interesting. When they saw Kinako, they spoke to her very politely. “Ai na vedui Dúnadan!” Kinako replied just as kindly. “Mae govannen!” Now the three elves left and gave Kinako a happy smile. They must have recognized that she was a white magic witch and that was why they were so nice.Because between light elves and witches of white magic there was a great alliance and friendship. Kinako turned her thoughts back to her plan and told Inuyasha about the idea. That she did the same with Kagome, of course, she kept a secret. Inuyasha thought about it. It actually wasn't that bad when he thought about it. He always wanted to know what was going on in her head. He wanted to be able to understand her and Kinako also stood by him mentally to help him. And besides, he can also read the minds of others, that really wasn't bad. "Why not? What do I have to do?" Kinako smiled at his decision. "Not much, I do most of it"
