Okay so I hope you liked my last chapter. I'm trying not to procrastinate anymore but its pretty hard being me. Well read on till the end…
I sit up against the wall just watching Miroku stare at Sango in amazement. The sparkle in his eyes he gets when around her is just shocking. I close my eyes for a little and think of the grass. Laying in it was just wonderful, I felt like a little kid again…"Tomorrow night. Things will be better. I promise…" his words replay over and over in my head. I open my eyes and look outside the window across from me. The sun is slowly setting, just barely making pinks and oranges of the sky. "I need to go!" I get up and abruptly leave the room. Not waiting to hear Miroku call me, I sprint out the huts door only to hear the doctor shout in confusion. My mind is spinning, everything is a haze. I feel my body pushing forward on its own, but my thoughts are only around him. I cant think strait and suddenly feel a wet puddle cover my feet. I stop.
"What the-?" the wind is blown out of me as I fall into the cool liquid around my body. I notice I'm in a shallow part of the lake. "How could I not have noticed this? What was I thinking…" Everything in my chest is acing. I struggle for my breath. "What…is…going on?" my words weigh heavy on my mind and I feel warmth around me. The water turning dark red and my eyes go in and out of reality. A dark figure crosses over the suns path and shades me. I smile in relief for someone to help me. "Thank you kind stranger" I say in a muddled whisper. He kneels at my side and puts a hand on my arm, sliding his hand down it, only to stop at my wrist. He squeezes it hard and I cry out in agonizing pain. "Stop! What are you doing!"
"Shut up!" his hand hits across my face hard. And then my wrist feels like its burning, I feel hot liquid now on my it. He stands up and slightly turns toward the sun, his face is partially shown and I just stop and stare in horror…
"Iny-Inuyasha…What are you doing…" my mind gets heavier and heavier. Keeping my focus on him I say. "What did I ever do to you…" I stop talking, feeling my energy deteriorate with every word.
"Nothing. That's what you did. Nothing! You did nothing at all! You didn't try to help me! You left me! That one night you just left! And now…now your going to pay with your life, just like I almost had to!" he grabs my collar ripping me off the ground. I cry out in horror. What will I do? What can I do? He's gonna kill me! I'm going to be dead for good!
"Get your hands off of her!" I hear a deep voice and suddenly I am thrown, my body hits hard on the ground with a thud and I let it go limp. Pain in every spot, I try to ignore it and listen. "And you said I was a demon! I protect her! As for you…you left her! I would never hurt her! But you, you could and maybe would, but now seeing this site I can tell you will…" his voice is harsh and low in his last words. "You're the threat!" I listen, and hear Inuyasha and my savior walking around in a circle, sizing up to one another. A loud growl pierces the air and my savior is thrown next to me, my sight is blurry but I see white hair…How? How is that possible? Inuyasha and my savior with the same hair color? But that would mean…
Sesshoumaru turns his head and looks at me with sad and pleading eyes. "Forgive me for cutting you last night, and for not keeping my promise…he was not what I expected…" tears escape his eyes, I weakly move my hand and cup his cheek. Tears also escape my eyes, I can only nod. "Thank you…" he lightly touches my hand and realizes there's a cut near my wrist. "You went this far brother?" his gets up with fierce fast speed. I slightly turn my body and watch. "How could you?" his words like stinging poison. "You went too far now!" Sesshoumaru lashes out at Inuyasha, but he dodges it like its nothing. They sprawl with each other. Cuts slowly get worse and grow, covering their body and tearing clothes.
Tears continue down my face. "Please just stop…please…." my words fade out and I feel myself going in and out of consciousness, footsteps running towards me.
"Hold in there Kagome! Please don't go! I wont let you!" I'm lifted up by Sesshoumaru, in I princess kinda of carry. "I really do truly care for you…Kagome…"
I'm left alone with his last words, floating in darkness. Trying to bring myself back to consciousness I think of the fight. Inuyasha's eyes were a fierce red, nothing like normal, no sweet golden touch…instead the golden touch I loved was in Sesshoumaru's eyes. Whenever I saw him, his eyes were red, anger flourished in them…but now, now they were a beautiful honey gold. Prettier than Inuyasha's had ever been. Inuyasha's red eyes were the color of blood, burning with anguish, but a hint of fear for what the future may hold. What's going on? Why would their eyes change? Did Inuyasha get a hold of the Shikon Jewel, but that wouldn't explain Sesshoumaru's eyes… I slowly feel my mind being pulled forward and then back. I hear someone, yet can't process who's voice it is…
"Kagome! Doctor she's waking up! Doctor! Doctor…Kagome…please…" The voice is yelling, it sounds like were in a tunnel being pulled in opposite direction, the words loud and yelling but lower. "No! I wont lose you again! Wake…please…oh please…wake up…" I find some control of my body and feel air fill my lungs welcomingly, then sucked away in and instant, like being sucked under water. "Wha-what! No! Kagome breath, please!" pressure on my chest now…1...2...3...4...5...to 32...then heat on my lips, I feel the air come in but cant take it. My body has lost function yet again. "Huh. Huh. Huh." heavy, huffing, and warm air swarm my face. Then it stops and my ears become alert.
"There's not much more we can do…we must let her enter the spirit world in peace or her soul will never rest…" this voice I easily recognize….Miroku. His voice pained and tired sounding.
"But…she cant just go…she cant leave me here…alone and lost…she leads me…I need her" I realize now Sesshoumaru and listen to his muffled sobs, like the ones in my room.
"Well my work is done here then…" Inuyasha. His voice cold but…grieving. "I'm sorry, I must go now. May she rest in peace" his feat go towards the door.
"Stop." that commanding voice of Sesshoumaru got Inuyasha to freeze without second guessing, not one single movement could I hear from anyone. "Wh-why did you do this to her? Brother?" his breath slowly steadying itself.
"I cant say much…but be glad it was me. I let her die in a less painful way from what the others would have done, a very much less painful way." given his answer Inuyasha opens the door, I listen to his footsteps go down the stairs and disappear. I let my mind reel in the details. Who was out to kill me? Why? When? How? No not how, I don't need to know that. I push the thought's out of my head. Am I really, finally, and truly dead? Am I listening from beyond my grave? I wish I could say one last goodbye…just to let them know…to make me remembered…in a better way…
My head, now spinning again goes farther and farther into darkness. Its collapses all around me, suffocating me, taking me under. I scream out but feel unheard. Nobody can hear me in this dark lost world. I find a light…the light to let me rest…I try getting away from it. I don't want to go yet! I cant leave, I cant die! No! The light grows and grows around me. Black…and white attack me. Ghostly figures swarm around me. Oh God no… please…no… Colors now appear, ghostly figures becoming a memory. I feel myself smile, but in a sad harsh way and say. "So this is what its like to die…" the faces look shocked and sad. One of them reaches out toward me. "Get away!" my body finds impulse and hit's the hand away. I start to sit up. Colors just blobs, figures just lurk and stare. I turn my body. "A bed…my death bed…" the figures reach out with sad looks. "No! Don't touch me!" I get of the bed and find a door. I catch my balance and run towards it, only to be wrapped in a warm embrace. Caught. They have me…no… tears come pouring down my face, my legs feeling like gelatin betray me and I fall to the ground. The warm embrace holds me up and slowly lowers me down. Cradling me like a baby it pulls me closer. I burry my face into its chest and cry for a long time. It strokes my hair and tries to calm me. I slowly relax and calm down after a while. My sight slowly comes in. The ghostly figures becoming people I know, the colors around me form shapes. I'm in the Doctors hut, the room Sango was laying in. Miroku, the Doctor, Sesshoumaru and…Sango? Not possible. Sesshoumaru notices my startled look at Sango and picks me up. Sango only looks at me with grateful and sad eyes.
"I'm going to take her for a walk…or in this case a…carry I guess?" he lets out a little laugh, looks down at me and smiles. I smile back. I feel like a baby. He takes me outside and walks towards the woods. I don't know why but I shudder and hide my face in his chest. He slows his walk but doesn't stop. "Its okay. I have people watching for demons, they wont hurt you." I look up at him and suddenly am terrified for no reason. I pull out of his grasp and run into the woods, I hear him running after me. I just keep pushing forward, fear flowing through me. "Kagome! Stop! Now!" his commanding voice almost grabs hold of my body, but the adrenaline flowing through me keeps me moving. I know he could grab me at any moment, his speed is fierce. But when I look back…he's walking…anger flourish's in me. I push my body harder and am sprinting. He now jogs after me.
I get to a circular meadow and freeze when I look up. Sesshoumaru catches up to me and wraps his arms around me. He feels the tension in my body and looks up in the trees, not able to see what I can. Inuyasha just stands in the trees leaves hidden somehow from Sesshoumaru's eyes. I slowly pull Sesshoumaru's arms off me, leaving his embrace I walk toward Inuyasha and stare. "Are you okay Kagome? What are you staring at?" Sesshoumaru's voice calm but frustrated from me running away.
"Nothing…" I say slowly in a daze. Inuyasha just looks at me in disbelief, and with sorrow in his eyes. He cocks his head to the back of him and I nod. "Sesshoumaru do you mind going back to my hut to get my bag? I want to detail this bird…its beauty is amazing…" I keep my voice cool and easy with interest in it. "Please?" I turn towards him with pleading eyes, hoping he doesn't see through my facade. He watches intently and is unsure at first.
"Okay? You have all you need in your bag right?"
"I should. I think I'm running low on berries, you know for purple's, red's, and black's. would you mind finding some while I watch the animal?" I smile sweetly and hold my hands together, dangling.
"Yeah…sure…you are such a strange girl you know." he says with a smile. "I'll be back in a couple minutes alright?" I turn back to the "animal".
"Yeah, I'll be fine." I continue to stare at the "animal" in amazement as he turns and leave's.
I wait a couple more seconds keeping on my facade just incase. When I feel its safe I stare at Inuyasha. "Where to?" he hops down off his branch and walks up to me, studies me. He lightly grabs my wrist, the one he cut. I wince. He drops it fast and looks startled by my reaction. "Your going to try and kill me again aren't you?" I look down at the ground feeling tears brim my eyes, but not enough for me to cry. "Well." I swallow the hard lump in my throat. "I'll let you…I will except my death this time…this must be what faith wants…" I look up into his eyes and see…tears? The red lighter now.
His hand reaches up to stroke my cheek. He analyzes all my facial features. Then he puts his arm under mine and picks up my legs with the other. Once he gets me into a comfortable…princes carry, he leaps into the tree tops. He moves higher up till he feels covered from the top and bottom, then continues forward through them. He looks down at me, almost making sure I'm still in his arms and hoping his eyes aren't fooling him. He slows his pace and stops on a sturdy branch, listening to make sure no one is following him. A strand of hair falls from his face near mine, I bring my hand to it and twist it lightly in my fingers. When he feels he's not being followed he looks down at me playing with his hair, and smiles lightly. The red in his eyes getting lighter. I smile softly at him and pull down a couple more hairs from his head. I continue to twist them, braid, then take them apart and repeat. I lift my hand higher up his head for some more hair and feel his ear, I take my hand down a little then remember he's hanyou. I remember the past and start to scratch behind his ear. His eyes open wide at first in astonishment of what I'm doing then turn soft again and close. He smiles and tilts his head towards my arm more, so I'm not stretching too much. He squats still holding me, has me sit on his legs and with his now free arm strokes my hair. I giggle at him and he laughs softly.
"So…now what?" I say in a lighter tone, smiling and repressing the urge to laugh.
"I don't know…" his voice smooth and slow, with his smile still kindling. "Lets go far away for a little. I want to relax and be with you alone. Not having to worry about being followed by Sesshoumaru." he stops stroking my hair and puts his arm back under my legs, standing up he slowly starts to leap through the tree tops again. He keeps his focus on wherever he's planning on taking me. I continue to scratch behind his ear. It seems like I've been in his arms for hours, but I know its only been a couple minutes. His speed picks up slowly as he continues to "fly" through the tree tops. My eyes feel heavy and I close them, feeling darkness surround me welcomingly this time. I fall into a light sleep, sometimes hearing Inuyasha talk to himself on how beautiful the spot he's bringing me to is or just the birds and wind flowing past me. Sometimes I feel him slow for a breath then he picks up his speed. After what probably is many minutes I feel a little rested and open my eyes. I hadn't realized he stopped as I was sleeping. I look around, studying the area. An open field with short green grass, a clear flowing river, and a small cabin slightly hidden in the woods.
"So why'd you bring me here?" I ask in a slight daze. He smiles down at me, the red in his eyes only lightly surrounds his pupils.
"It's beautiful and calms me. Only I know of this spot…and well, my mom…" his eyes sad now look out to the trees, as if trying to find what he wants. He sets me down and walks towards the river. I follow him after he stops and looks at his reflection. I slowly come up behind him and put my arm around him. "Me and her are the only ones who know…she wanted me to show only someone special…and that I trust…" he stares at his reflection. I move my body in between him and the river. Putting one hand on his shoulder I use the other to make him look at me.
"You trust me?" I say, my hand still on his chin, making him look me in the eyes.
"And I think your special." his eyes show that he means it.
"You think?" even though I know he meant the truth, I had to hear him say it for sure.
"I know your special, Kagome. I know your beautiful, smart, and have an amazing personality." He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me towards him, our bodies now touching.
My arms wrap lightly around his neck now. Our faces only inches away. His breath, sweet smelling like honey. His eyes, no more red and filled with a warm golden yellow. Heat radiating off his body. His arms slowly move up my back, bringing us closer. Our chest's now touching, our lips only a couple inches away. We stare into each others eyes. I see…love in his. I can only imagine what mine show. Passion flows through my veins now. Just wishing he would make the slightest move, to have our lips meet. A noise startles me out of my daze and he pulls me closer to give protection. Accidentally I lose my footing and fall closer to his chest, our lips barely touching. I can feel the heat radiating off them just like his body. His eyes still searching the area around, he brings his arms up my body a little more, now on my back. Subconsciously he pulls me a little closer, only a little. I continue to stare into his eyes. Now, our lips lightly brushing each other. He looks back down at my eyes. His arms slowly moving farther up my back, pushing me closer to him. Our lips now touching lightly. One arm stops at my shoulder blade, the other continuing up and tangling in my hair, making our lips press. I finally gain body control and push forward towards him. His eyes shocked at first, but now know how I feel. His hand tangles more and more in my hair, the other pulls me closer till there's no space between us. My arms wrap tighter around his neck. Adrenalin flowing through me, we keep kissing. As I keep our bodies close he moves his hand back down my body, now near my thigh. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around him. His hand trails up and down my thigh. He starts to walk towards the cabin. We continue kissing. He gets to the cabin fast, but smoothly. He opens the door as we continue keeping out space between us. He carries me to the bedroom. We lay on the bed together, kissing and wrapping around one another, trying to get closer. The night goes by smoothly and fast. After wonderful relations we lay there together. And sleep comes welcomingly. I reply the night in my head over and over. I soon fall deeper and deeper into darkness and let it take me. I sleep peacefully, for once in a long time.
So I made this chapter a lot longer, I hope you like it. I worked hard on this. Had to keep making myself type it, procrastination is a hard thing to escape. And the reason it took me so long to get this next chapter out is because fanfiction isnt wanting to work, i went to upload a while ago and other days and its just not working! Sooo ya. Okay so major romance in the end! And yes they did…well do it. Honestly I only put "After wonderful relations…" because I have no intentions describing someone's-even an anime dudes/gals- sex life, its kinda creepy. And I needed them to have…relations because its important for future purpose! Sooo ya, and as you can kind of tell, I don't enjoy typing about this hole sex thing, even if I am the age I am! Soooo comment on this chapter please! Well till next time!
