Here is the next chapter!

Who are you?

The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—

Emily Dickinson:

Sesshomaru was pissed. He was pissed that the school was getting angry with him and he was pissed he had to do his homework. He was pissed he couldn't concentrate. He was pissed that Kagome had not awoken and it had been a day. He was also pissed at himself for not being able to protect her. But he was really pissed at Naraku. While a note had come earlier in the same fashion as the first, it said the same thing except it was 3 days. It had also added the phrase 'don't call the police, or blah blah blah.' It didn't matter. As far as Sesshomaru was concerned, Naraku was about to bite the big one. He glared at the homework on his lap. Inuyasha had brought it after school while checking on Kagome. Sango and Miroku had also come, too, along with Kouga, and a pretty red-head who accompanied him. She looked too had known Kagome, judging by the flowers she brought as well as the tears glistening in the corner of his eyes. His eyes turned to Kagome's unresponsive body. He felt himself soften. When had he fallen so hard for her? He hardly went on a date, if you counted the amusement park with Inuyasha along with them. Then there was Club Wave. He really couldn't believe he had gone there; his father's influence, of course. It was good to see Inuyasha grow-up.

When they were little and with their father being rich, one of them was bound up to end up spoiled. While Sesshomaru had become indifferent for personal reasons, Inuyasha became greatly loved for his outburst of emotions, as oppose to no emotion shown. While Sesshomaru was incredibly smart and gifted, Inuyasha was charming. Both were also good looking. While Sesshomaru did not abuse his good fortune, Inuyasha had; the victim being Kagome. Sesshomaru thought back to Kagome's past. The cheating at hand of Inuyasha must have been much worse and more so a betrayal considering that fact that her father had also cheated. Speaking of Kagome; Sesshomaru began to digress from his work further. He knew better than to underestimate an opponent especially a gang. Gangs were ruthless and he new first hand that they didn't care who they killed for the selfish desires. To take good measures, they would not contact the police right away, knowing that their wires were probably taped anyway. Sango, Miroku, Kouga and, Inuyasha were supposed to be coming soon. They were going to discuss the measures and steps to ensure the defeat of Naraku. They knew that they would defiantly be outnumbered, but they were all good street fighters, and he himself was also exceptionally well. As soon as Sesshomaru finished his thought, the gang stepped in.

"How's she doing?" Inuyasha said while glancing down softly.

"Well. She should wake soon." Sesshomaru said, brushing her hair behind her ear.

"What are we going to do?" Sango said, sitting down next to Kagome on the bed.

"We need to be prepared. If not, we may not leave alive." He continued.

"Then let's get started on this plan" Kouga said grabbing a sit on a nightstand by Kagome.

"Kagome…Kagome…"

"nnngg…"

"Kagome…Kagome…"

"ugh…"

"Kagome…Kagome…"

"What?" Kagome opened her eyes. There before her was her…father. "Dad…"

"Angel, how are you?" the soft voiced man asked while gently hugging his daughter.

"You're dead!" Kagome gasped pulling away, suddenly remembering the brusque murder.

"Only physically. I live within you, within your brother, within the shrine. I live all around you."

"You left us! You left us and this is all fake!" Kagome shouted, pointing a finger at him.

"Whether I exist or not, you must listen to what I say now." Minoru said grabbing her hand and pulling her into a fatherly embrace. "You are chosen, Kagome! You have been chosen to have the gift!"

"What gift?" Kagome asked completely confused. Her father held her still.

"Long ago, we had a power inside of us. It glowed and we could understand, expand and grow it. It has long since faded, many not knowing what we once had, and others, like you, possessing all of what you once had. But your body needs to be re-taught. You need to go into a meditated state."

"How, I don't know-"

"I need your memories, for they hold the answers."

"But what will I do?"

"You will wake. I will try it before it is too late. Now wake, others are concerned for you…leave."

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"Why don't you have the power, this gift?" a smirk fluttered across Minou's face.

"Apparently, it is only passed on to women in our family. Your grandmother and great-grandmother both had it."

"Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you, too, angel."

:;;Do you still have dreams for me dream giver?

"So we basically have no plan besides fight?" Kouga asked, summarizing the half an hour of meeting they had.

"Don't put it so negatively, we just haven't created a solution yet." Sango said while whacking Kouga.

"Nnnngg…" a mumbled groan came through.

"Kagome?" Sango said rushing to her side, with the rest in tow.

"Nnnggg…"

"Get the doctor, Kouga" Miroku said as he looked around for a phone or something.

"Right!" Kouga said speeding away.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered gently.

"Wake now, Kagome" Sesshomaru echoed. Blue eyes goggled up at the people above her. She slowly came to a sitting position with Sesshomaru helping her.

"Kagome you up!" Sango squealed throwing her body against hers in a tight embrace.

"Ummm...yeah…" Kagome murmured awkwardly.

"Kagome? What's wrong? Do you have a headache?" Sango said worriedly.

"No…" Kagome continued sheepishly.

"Kagome?" Sango whispered, tears gathering in her eyes.

"Uhhh…Don't cry…uhhh…"

"I found the doctor!" Kouga exclaimed halting in front of the door out of breath. The doctor was also out of breath and had sweating gliding down his face.

"Let…me…check…on her." He said, taking out his medical instruments. He checked her pulse and eye focus before switching to several other measurements.

"okay, all seems well. Her pulse and heart rate are back, now we need to check on the other important details."

"What?" Sango asked.

"What did we just do," the doctor asked Kagome.

"…check up thing…?" Kagome mumbled.

"What is 2+2?"

"4."

"What is 9x9?"

"81."

"Good, basic math is there. Can you stand?" Kagome lifted from her bed and rolled off, placing her legs on the floor and standing up.

"Why are you doing this stuff, doc?" Inuyasha asked irritated.

"I'm making sure she doesn't have any brain damage. Right now it seems she doesn't, but in a case such as this, it is highly unusual. Maybe…"

"She doesn't have it! She's fine. Look!" Inuyasha said staring at Kagome

"Good. Now, Do you know who you are?"

"Kagome…?" She replied cocking her head to the side.

"Yes…now one final question. Do you know who these people are?"

"…no…" Kagome said sadly looking down at her fiddling fingers. The group was speechless as they looked on.

"I don't remember any of them."

Look for more updates soon
