Edge of Heaven

By Devon Masterson-Bond

Level Five

"He has to keep his head," Miroku commented from the sidelines as he watched his enemy and his best friend fight. "He�ll be killed this way. I�m going to end this." He pulled at his rosary. There was no way that he was going to let Inu Yasha and the others die. His time was over, but they still had a chance. This was the last unselfish thing he could do to show them�show her.

"Don�t," Sango replied grabbing his arm. "You�ve already been stung enough. I don�t want to lose you."

Miroku�s eyes widened at her intense look. She really cared about him and now it was too late. Feeling in his limbs was already slipping from him bit by bit. There one more thing he had to do before all was lost.

"What do you think you�re doing?" Sango asked peeling his hand off her already sore chest.

"I wanted one last time�"

Violet eyes tore open as Kirby sat up in bed. "Not that dream again," he whispered breathing hard. He ran his hands through his hair trying to calm himself. Every since he met those two girls in the airport, a week ago, his mental blocks that he trained so hard to keep in place have been slowly crumbling. He would have the same dream every night, but could hardly recall the details. His mental training at least gave him that luxury.

"I�m going to have to purify myself again," he thought as he pulled back the covers and got out of bed. A casual glance towards his lover for that night caused him to sigh. Her performance was not that bad, but the usual hunger for a challenge in an out of the bed was still churning away at him. But even that would have to wait while he purified himself. "No sex for a month." He sighed inwardly. It was either that or lose control and the visions start again. Richard would think he was some kind of loon. His twin already considered him an idiot for his one-track mind when it came to sex, but he knew Richard did not really mean it. If he started to seeing visions again and doing weird mystical stuff, Richard would never let him live it down.

Ghosts, goblins, and things of that nature died out and did not exist anymore. There were only metamorphs now in particular those that could take human form. He and Richard were half so they could not fully transform. Naturally this further disappointed their brother, who already was bothered by their existence. They were further proof that their father was not faithful to his mother�s memory and the bloodline was forever tainted, but David would just have to get over it.

"Sacrifices," he said to himself as he sat in usual corner in the living room trying to clear his mind.

"Hey, Rich!" a voice called.

Richard stifled a yawn and turned around. He had been on his way to class, but was considering pulling a Kirby, i.e. skipping it and taking nap instead. He sighed once he realized who was calling him, his best friend and the graduate student teaching his next class. "What is it," he yawned, "Shi?"

Teal eyes looked over the tired young man. He shook his head. "Kirby kept you up all night again?" Shi asked.

"I just� I�ll be fine when I get to class." He yawned.

Shi patted him on the back. "Go home, Richard. Read chapter 6." He walked away.

Richard began to grumble as he watched the crimson haired grad student walk away. Shi and he were best friends, but the somewhat older man treated him like kid sometimes. This time he would not argue, he was exhausted. The dreams were coming back and in more detail. With those details, more haunting recall of them. It almost felt as though he was there. Then there was the most troubling aspect; Kagome. What if she was really out there somewhere? He had to be crazy.

"Anything having to do with women always leads to insanity," he mumbled. He suddenly stopped short a familiar scent lingered in the air. An overwhelming instinct to seek out the scent took over as his eyes took an unholy golden appearance. She shot off in the direction of the scent. His eyes darted around as he stopped briefly to find the highest point down wind to gather up the pheromone. He had to find the scent and ease his mind. Strands of white streaked through ebony as he hurried to the side of the building. He flexed his now clawed hand and dug into the side of the edifice when a bucket of cold water broke the spell. "What the fu�"

"I was going to ask you the same thing," Shi replied angrily. "Get a hold of yourself, you�ll expose us to the humans."

Richard flushed as his features went back to normal. He ran his fingers through his hair. It was not normal for him to lose control like that. "I am alright now!" he commented grumpily.

"Maybe you need to start meditating too! Before you terrorize the city," Shi scolded.

Richard frowned. "What do you mean by �too?�"

Blue-green eyes widened slightly. "Get some rest." He turned to leave.

"Wait." Richard grabbed him by the arm. "You�re hiding something. What�s going on?"

"It�s not my secret to tell," Shi answered pulling away. "And if you want him to tell you, don�t be so judgmental."

Violet eyes widened in shock. "I am not judgmental. If the lech has something to tell me, I hear him out. But I don�t have time for dumb fantasies about ghosts and women."

Shi sighed. "Bye, Rich"

"Sensei," Kirby said into the phone sheepishly, "the dreams have returned."

"Been sleeping around, eh?" an old man chuckled into the phone. "All that activity and no rest would give any man nightmares, though I could do with some lack of sleep myself. Ah to be young again. Why in my day I could go all�"

"Sensei!" Kirby sighed. He pinched the bridge of his nose, he a headache and a mental picture he did not want to have. "The dreams are becoming more intense and I�m starting to have them while I am awake."

"The demon hunter woman again?" he asked.

"Yes and about the monk. I see from his eyes."

The old man�s brow furrowed that all seemed vaguely familiar for some reason, but he could not remember from where. "And what of the miko?"

"She is there as well,

Kirby answered. "She always exorcises me before I can determine anything."

"Come to my shrine right away, my son."

"Thank you, Sensei Higurashi."

"Don�t thank me yet."

"Yes, Sensei. I will be there in 20 min." Kirby hung up the phone and grabbed his keys. His eyes flew briefly to a photograph of him, Richard, and Shi on a dig site. Digging in the ground was never his thing, but he never missed an opportunity for a free trip. "Rich, won�t notice, I�m gone," he thought.

Richard never missed a chance to let him know what a goof off he thought his twin was. Some of it was warranted true, but most of it was the moodiness of someone who needed to get laid. "That girl he mated with�every since�where have I seen her," he thought reaching for the door.

"Going out?" Richard greeted casually as he walked through the now opened door.

He nodded. "I�ll be gone the weekend," Kirby answered. "Hold my messages."

"I�m not your secretary," Richard scoffed. Violet eyes scanned over his Kirby�s features. It had been a week since they stopped talking, but he had no idea what he neglected to notice. Dark circles that he tried to hide behind his glasses were showing underneath his eyes and exhaustion was apparent. Kirby looked worse that he was.

"Let the machine pick up. I�ll check it when I get back," he said.

"Whatever," Richard replied dropping his stuff on the couch and lying down. "I�m taking a nap."

"Bye," Kirby called before leaving.

"No 20 questions about why I am not in class. Some thing�s going on."

"Come in," Kagome replied just before a brunette popped her head inside.

"How are you feeling?" Kelly asked as she crept inside. She held a small tray.

Kagome took the cup gingerly. "A little better, but no more mystery dishes for me," she chuckled as she adjusted the compress on her head. She took a sip of tea.

Kelly blushed. "My cooking�s never made anyone sick before. Maybe I should�ve gone easy on the spices. Gumbo is really good. I thought you�d like it."

"Well it tasted okay before I got sick," Kagome pointed out as placed a hand on her cousin�s shoulder. "It�s okay. I haven�t felt the greatest since I�ve been back in my own time."

Kelly opened her mouth then clamped it shut. Now was not the time. "Get some rest."

"You want to know what it was like, don�t you?"

Kelly nodded. "We don�t have to talk about it if you don�t want to."

"Another time, okay?"

"Okay." Kelly hugged the girl. "Guess what? I did a tea reading today. I saw two hearts interlocking! I am going to meet the man I�m going to marry."

"That never works," Kagome scoffed before finishing her tea.

The dark haired girl crossed her arms defiantly. "I am very accurate with my readings," Kelly pouted. She suddenly smiled. "I�ll do your reading." She took the cup and studied it for a moment. "I see a chiral figures of a man and a heart�you�ll see your lover in the image of another�"

"I very much doubt that," Kagome commented dryly.

"What about the airport?"

"That guy did look like Inu Yasha�but you said that he was Miroku�s reincarnation," she replied thoughtfully. "I never noticed how similar they looked."

Kelly brought the cup in closer for study. "Let�s see what else is here�oh a rattle. You�re going to have� his baby?"

"Let me see that," Kagome snatched the cup and held it. "That�s not funny."

Kelly grasped Kagome�s hand out of instinct. "Kagome, I�" her sentence trailed.
"Sango, I am so embarrassed. I ran away like a little kid."

"I don�t blame you, I would�ve done the same if you caught�"

"You and Miroku?" Kagome supplied. A knowing smiled graced her face as she put a hand on her friend�s shoulder.

"He�s a lech," the demon hunter exclaimed. Bright crimson dots formed on her cheeks as she tried to look utterly disgusted.

"And you still love him," Kagome chuckled.

Sango sighed. It was one thing to admit it to her best friend and another to admit it to Miroku. She would never hear the end of it and he would think that was some sort of license to cheep feeldom. "And do you love Inu Yasha?"

"With all my heart," Kagome answered then frowned, "but don�t tell him. I�d hate for him to get a big head. I�d never hear the end of it."

Sango chuckled. That sounded like something Inu Yasha would say. "I won�t," she promised. "So�what was he like?"
Kagome dropped Kelly�s hand and the two girls flushed at the memory. She quickly got out of bed to rifle with the contents of her desk. Within moments, she picked up a small book and began to flip through it. Sure enough� "Oh my god," she said lowly as she sank to the floor. She touched her abdomen absently. "What I am going to do?"

"What are we going to do?" Kelly corrected as she knelt beside her. "I�m here for you." She hugged her.

"I need some fresh air," She said suddenly as she pulled away. She brushed the ridge her hand across her upper cheek to catch any escaping tears. This was no time for crying, he would not stand for it and it would not solve anything.

"I�ll come with you. No one will notice us, Aunt Rumiko and Sota went out and grandfather is helping someone through a purification."

Kagome paused for a moment. Any distraction was welcome. "Is someone becoming a priest?"

Kelly bit her lip for mentioning the subject in the first place. She seemed to be batting a thousand today. This was the first time that her gifts caused trouble and she wished she did not have them.

"What?" Kagome asked.

Kelly sighed. "Grandpa is helping someone keep their past life from resurfacing."

"I see," Kagome replied as she pulled on a sweater and left the room. It was a little chilly outside as the seasons began to change and she wasn�t sure her spaghetti string tank and pajama pants were going to do the trick.

"Aren�t you going to change?" Kelly asked following her.

"I�m fine," Kagome continued down the stairs. She slipped on a pair of shoes and then paused before opening the door. "So what�s wrong with that! Knowing who you are or were. If I hadn�t then�"

"It�s one thing to have a few memories here and there, and another to recount everything. The person could get lost and not every past life is a good idea to relive. What if a demon was resurrected?"

"What if someone dear to someone else was?" Kagome countered. "If I had the chance, I�d�"

"Kagome, I know you miss him but the odds that he�d be reincarnated here and in this time are slim."

"No!" Kagome opened the door and ran into the yard. She just did not want to accept the fact that the last she would never see Inu Yasha again. She looked toward the sacred tree of her childhood, the god�s tree from her adventures. "It�s not fair," she cried as she held on to the tree. "We just found each other."
