disclaimer: as Kenshin would say 'ORO?' I would say 'I do not own Inu-Yasha'
The computer I am currently forced to write on is royally slow...-sighz- Oh, and I cannot write Slipping in Sweet Sickness because the file to my 15th chapter is 5 provinces away from me at the moment. So, this will be a little story I'll be doing to pass the time, and hopefully it will rid of this author block cancer.
Don't expect this to actually good...it'll probably suck...really REALLY bad
This new story of mine will be based on my Inu-Yasha doujinshi (fan manga) titled 'Butterfly Wishes'
Enjoy the story...
Silence. Silence steadily echoed through the tension filled air, as so did limp bodies and scattered youkai remains. It had all come down to this. Ever since the beginning, from the betrayal, to meeting Kagome, and now to the end, to all the battles they faced to this very last moment. It was finally over. They had won. Naraku was dead.
Inu-Yasha stood admist the battlefield, scarred and bloodied and terribly tired. A long gash had made it's way across his stomach and he was breathing heavily. Kagome stood only meters away from him, her arm beaten pretty badly. But she had a smile on her face. Miroku and Sango were sitting down, as the youkai taijiya checked over Miroku's arm-, well, what was left of his arm. The one with the kazaana in it got torn off, yet he was still alive. Sango wasn't as hurt, but her Hirakotsu was cracked. Shippou's leg was broken, but he was smiling just as big as Kagome was.
Naraku was nowhere to be found. His only remains now was some tentacles and other scattered parts. Kouga and Sesshomaru had left already. The wolf youkai was as persistant as ever- he vowed to make her his mate. Inu-Yasha got furious, but he was too tired to argue with him. Sesshomaru still had the young girl, Rin, and the toad thing, Jaken, following him. He didn't seem to mind the girl anymore, but Jaken was still pretty annoying. They flew away together on Au Un.
"It's...over," Kagome finally managed to breath out over the silence, breaking it. She made the smile on her face into an even bigger grin and strided over to Inu-Yasha, her hurt arm hanging loosely like a doll. The time traveler peered up at Inu-Yasha, greyish blue eyes sparkling.
Inu-Yasha stared back down at her with his amber orbs. "Yeah. It finally is."
Sango, Miroku, and Shippou came over to them as well, gazing over the battlefield.
"It was tough," Miroku muttered.
"Yes it was," Sango agreed.
"But we did it!" Shippou chirped, managing to scramble up on Inu-Yasha's shoulder.
Kagome turned around so her back was facing the group. "We should head back to the village." She stretched her neck so she was looking at the group. "Kaede can take care of our wounds for us."
"Keh," Inu-Yasha snorted, crossing his arms over his chest. "Wounds? Feh, I'm fine. This is just a little scratch."
"Oh really?" Miroku asked, a mishevious smirk crossing his face. He took his staff and hit Inu-Yasha's gash with little force. Inu-Yasha winced. "Just a little scratch?"
The stubborn dog hanyou turned away and gave him the cold shoulder. Miroku rolled his eyes.
"Well," Kagome started, looking up at the sky, the smile still held on her face. "We should get going now."
---
"I see it! The village is coming into sight!"
Inu-Yasha was right. As the wind pushed through their bodies as they raced off the village was getting nearer. Kagome and Shippou were on Inu-Yasha's back, while Miroku and Sango were on Kirara, flying a few meters in front of them.
"Yes, finally," Shippou sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. "I can finally get to sleep, it's pretty hard when you're going at full speed."
"Keh. This isn't my full speed, this is just half of it!"
Shippou rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
"What do you mean whatever? If I was going at full speed right now, we'd be there already!"
"Stop being so full of yourself."
"What'd you say?! You know, you're just asking for a smack across your head!"
"Oh yeah? Well-"
"C'mon guys," Kagome interuppted, not wanting the fight to last any longer. "We defeated Naraku. We should be happy, and stop arguing for about a few minutes? Please?"
Miroku nodded. "Kagome is right."
Shippou and Inu-Yasha looked at each other and both mumbled, "sorry."
"Good, now-" Kagome suddenly paused when she felt a wierd tingling sensation within her. "I sense a Shikon shard coming this way." Even though they had defeated Naraku, the gang still didn't have the whole jewel. They were still in Kouga's legs,Kohaku's back, and two with Kagome. And there was another one...another jewel shard, which they'd still have to find. And it was coming right at them.
Without warning, a single shot of light whizzed right past Inu-Yasha's face, nearly missing his nose by an inch. He halted to a stop immediately, almost making Shippou fly off of Kagome's shoulder. Kirara also stopped, but a bit more smoothly, and flew back towards Inu-Yasha.
"W-what was that?" Shippou's cried, but his face was buried in Kagome's hair so it came out as muffles.
"It looked like a sacred arrow," Kagome stated. "A really powerful one."
"Yes, it was."
Suddenly, out of the trees came a figure. She was wearing Shinto miko robes, had long black hair, cold brown eyes, and a beautiful but pale as death face.
"Kikyo?" Inu-Yasha asked, a bit confused why his former lover was here. But soon he shook it off and glared at her. "Why'd you shoot that arrow at me?"
"Because, it was the only way to get your attention," Kikyo explained, walking slowly over to the dog hanyou. As she did, Kagome got off of Inu-Yasha's back. "I had no intentions of hurting you."
"Kikyo, why are you still here?" Inu-Yasha demanded, oblivious to the fact that Kagome was off him. "I thought that since Naraku was gone, you would go back to hell. And not stay here."
Kikyo looked away, and for a moment, she looked rather sad. But when she looked back up, she was serious. "I need to talk to Inu-Yasha." Taking a glance at the others around her, she added,
"Privately."
Kagome didn't say a word and was the first one to leave. Miroku sighed and gave Inu-Yasha a dissapointed look before flying off on Kirara with Sango. Inu-Yasha sighed tiredly and looked back at Kikyo.
"So what do you want to talk about?"
---
Kagome paced back and forth inside of Kaede's hut. It was late now, and she was pissed off and worried about Inu-Yasha at the same time. He should've been back by now ; what exactly did Kikyo want to talk to him about?
Rubbing her temple with her fore finger, Kagome forced herself to sit down. Her commrades were long asleep. Kagome wished that she could do the same, but she was worried. What if Kikyo took Inu-Yasha away? What if Kikyo dragged Inu-Yasha down to hell? What if Kikyo...killed him?"
That made Kagome jump right up from her seat and out of the hut. She headed back towards the forest, to the place where Kikyo had first greeted them. Kagome walked around for quite a while, until she heard some bushes rustle. The school girl swallowed hard and readied her bow and arrows. Placing one hand on the bushes carefully, she separated the bushes.
Thunk was the only sound heard, the sound of the bow and arrow in her hand hitting the forest floor.
'No...' Kagome thought, the other words in her mind going into a confusing jumble. 'No...' Tears threatened to come pouring out of her eyes. 'No...' The words of what her friend, Yuka, had once said rang through her mind.
'Why would you love him if he doesn't love you?'
In front of her was Inu-Yasha and Kikyo, lying on the ground, half naked. Inu-Yasha's eyes widened.
'Why would you love him if he doesn't love you?'
"Kagome," Inu-Yasha said hoarsely, scrambling to get up. "It's not what it looks like!"
'Why would you love him if he doesn't love you?'
"No Inu-Yasha," Kagome whispered, taking a step back. "That's it. I'm through, it's done, I'm over! I'll leave now Inu-Yasha. Out of th Fuedal Era and out of your life. Forever." The dog hanyou in front of her started to protest, but Kagome ran off. In the direction of the well.
Kagome ran for what seemed like forever. She ran towards the well, and fell to her knees in front of it, sobbing. That stupid Inu-Yasha. She loved that stupid idiot and he was dumb enough to never notice it, and in doing so, crushed her heart. Kagome had even sent him signs to say that she loved him, because she was too shy to tell it out loud. The girl sighed and looked down the Bone Eater's well. She jumped down it, suddenly surrounded by a blue light for a few seconds. Once she was in her time, Kagome climbed up the ladder, so she was in the wellhouse. Then, the school girl took the jewel shards she had and threw them down the well.
"Goodbye everybody. Starting now, I'm reaturning to my normal life as a school girl," Kagome whispered, shutting the doors for what would be her last time.
---
Shippou waited impatiently on the outskirts of the village. He had woken up and saw no Kagome, panicing a little. So now here he was, waiting for her and Inu-Yasha to come back. Suddenly, out in the distance, Shippou saw a blur of red.
"Sango Miroku! Sango Miroku!" Shippou cried, jumping up and down on his spot. "They're back! They're here!"
The houshi and taijiya hurridly made their way towards Shippou,as Inu-Yasha came nearer. The young kistune smiled as he saw Inu-Yasha, but his smile quickly dissapeared when he noticed a missing commrade.
"Inu-Yasha, where's Kagome?"
The dog hanyou looked at them all with sad eyes.
"She's gone."
The three looked at him with open mouths.
"Forever."
TBC...
OK, there's a change in plans. I won't be doing 'This can't Be Happening', I'll be doing this. This is based on my doujinshi... Oh, and on every chapter, there'll be something like this:
Kagome: -waves- Hey Inu-Yasha, wanna hear a joke?
Inu-Yasha: Uh, sure (thinks: no matter how bad it is, do not laugh in a bad way)
Kagome: Ok, so there's this mushroom and he walks into a bar...
Inu-Yasha: Uh huh
Kagome: And the waiter says 'I'm sorry, but we don't serve your kind here'. So the mushroom says 'Oh come on, I'm a fungi!' -LMFAO-
Inu-Yasha: -trying not to laugh in a bad way-
Kagome: See, wasn't that funny? I made it alll by myself and-
Inu-Yasha: Kagome, I must tell you something.
Kagome: Yeah, what is it?
Inu-Yasha: That was the lamest joke ever.
Kagome: ... -her fist tightens-
later...
Miroku: ...and then she started to chase after his yelling 'you're dead' and about how guys are morons.
Shippou: -shivers- Kagome can be scary sometimes
I actually have that down in comic form. Inbetween every chapter, there will be a random comic like this one. Oh, and I got the mushroom joke from the pilot of the plane we were on when we flying here to P.E.I. Hope you like it, and please comment! After at least three comments I'll do the next chapter. Oh, and there will certainly be spelling errors in the first few chapters, because I do not have spell check on this computer. Please point out the spelling mistakes for me.
