NOTE: NOKI IS SAID 'NO-KEE'!
One.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha screamed, running for Kagome's fallen body.
Naraku had just shot Kagome's arrow back at her, using a powerful wave of energy. She was flung back, along Sango and Miroku's dead bodies. They had been killed, because a wave of spark-energy was aiming for Sango, and Miroku, out of love, ran in front of her, to try and stop it. But it went right through him, and hit her anyway. So they died together. How tragic.
As I was saying, she was flung back to them. Inuyasha ran to her, but it was no use, the arrow had pierced her heart, and immediately, she died. Inuyasha looked up furiously at Naraku, through menacing eyes. Part of which, on the inside, were crying.
"Y-You BASTARD!" The half-demon yelled, running at the enemy full-throttle, with the Tetsaiga. Naraku jumped up, dodging it. Inuyasha slashed upward, and managed to cut-off Naraku's arm. He smirked, and jumped into a portal that he had just created.
"DAMN YOU!" Inuyasha yelled. Then he ran back to his dead companions.
Shippo, from the backside of a large, rock, saw that the coast was clear, so he ran to Inuyasha too. Kirara, nuzzled out from underneath Sango, and purred sadly.
"I... Is she d-dead...?" Shippo asked.
Inuyasha nodded slightly, trying to keep back the tears. Shippo couldn't, so he started crying.
XXXInuyasha brought the bodies to sacred grounds. He started to bury them.
An old man came up behind him. "Hey, there!" He said. "You can't dig here, this is Sacred Ground!"
Inuyasha turned around, revealing the bodies in front of him. The old man backed away. Then ran away.
"What will we do?" Shippo said.
"I don't know." Inuyasha said. "I don't know." He had finished burying them, and went inside a nearby hut. It was empty. Inuyasha sat there, thinking hard. Hard about Sango's death, Miroku's death, and most importantly... Kagome's.
"Damn." Inuyasha said silently. "Damn, damn."
"Huh?" Shippo asked.
"Damn! I should have been able to protect her! First Kikyo, now her. I never even got the chance to, tell her... that I..."
"'I' what?"
"That I loved her." Inu said quietly.
"What?"
"THAT I LOVED HER! I LOVED HER, OKAY? IS THAT OKAY! ... Sorry, Shippo. I didn't mean to yell at you."
He... Loved her? Shippo thought. "Inuyasha, where will we go now?"
"Nowhere, we will just wander, with no exact destination. I will kill Naraku; Kagome would've wanted me to do that." He stood up, and he, Kirara and Shippo, went out the door.
Before leaving, Inuyasha took one last look at the graves of his friends. Then he silently walked off into the distance.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX1 YEAR LATER, AFTER WANDERING...
One year later, Inuyasha still remembered his departed friends. Their fights will have not been in vain. It was almost an hour before it would be sunset.
Soon it was nightfall. They were still walking, though. But Shippo and Kirara had fallen asleep on the dog-demon's shoulder. So basically, he was still walking. Anyway, he heard running footsteps come up behind him. He whipped around, and a girl with silver hair, very much like his own, but shorter, ran up to him, and couldn't stop, so she ran right into him. She also had...silver dog-ears, also like his own, but a puffy, silver dog-tail. Her eyes were blood-red, and she had purple slits made of some sort of paint, on her cheeks. Her outfit was strange, though. It was a silver-ish, purple-ish top, with the baggy, kimono-like arms, and a incredibly short skirt, with slits up the sides, but with wraps going to about, 4 inches above her knees. The skirt was the same color as the top. She had a tight, choker, the same color as the top and skirt. A huge sword was at her side—but it was in a sheath. The girl fell backwards.
"S-Sorry!" She said. This voice sounded familiar, but so different.
"It's okay."
Shippo had woken up from the crash. "H...Huh? Wh...yawn...who's this?"
"Oh, this is—"
"Noki." The girl finished.
"h...Hi, Noki." Shippo tiredly said. "YAWN... Good-Night." He fell back to sleep.
Inuyasha sighed. "Hey, who are you with? A girl that looks like she's only 14, should not be out here alone, demon or not a demon."
"Thank you for caring! Papa said that you were very stupid, but I guess not! You're kind!"
...Papa? How would her father know? Oh well. She seems harmless.
"I know what you're thinking! You want me to travel with you, don't you!" Noki said. Shippo woke up again.
"Oh, he does? Well, fine with me..." he fell back to sleep again.
"B-But I did—" Inuyasha stammered, red, warm spots forming on his cheeks.
"Fine, then...! It's settled! I'll stay with you, ... uh, Inuyasha, was it?" Noki said happily.
How does she know my name? I don't recall ever telling her that. Inuyasha thought.
He then thought that one, little, or 14 year-old-girl, wouldn't be much trouble, so he nodded, and continued walking. Noki got happy that he let her come with him, so she blushed a lot, and followed.
But boy, was Inuyasha wrong...
Sorry that was so short! And, doesn't that fact that Noki knows Inuyasha's name, make you think? Odd, ain't it? What things will come up between out 2 dog-demons? Love? Hatred? Who knows...? ... ... ...Accept me...
