I do not own any of the characters in Inuyasha. Sigh this chapter is not very good. wahhh!
Miroku started at Kagome. The girl had been motionless, up until a half hour ago. Then she'd started moving restlessly, mouthing words, but making absolutely no sound. He'd watched her intently, expecting her to wake up, but she didn't. It stopped, suddenly, and Kagome rolled onto her back, and resumed the quiet, still, countenance she'd had before. He sighed. Where is that stupid idiot Inuyasha? Why the hell is he out running around with Kikyo when he did not even stay to see if Kagome was even alive? I say, he really is dumb.
Shippou listened to Sango's explanation intently, his eyes widening with every word she spoke. When she was finished, there was a long silence. Finally, it was broken when Miroku said, "So, let us presume that Inuyasha is looking for, or already found Kikyo. He still think he owes Kikyo for sparing Kagome's life. This is quite a mess…"
"Well if that idiot had stayed around to find out, there wouldn't be any mess at all now would there?" Sango thundered, pounding her fist on the ground, spraying dirt everywhere.
"Well," said Miroku, wiping dirt off his robe, "I can't really argue with you there Sango. You're quite right."
"Stupid Inuyasha," Shippou huffed, "What does he know, anyway? He's more interested in someone who's been dead for fifty years than Kagome. How tragic." Shippou's comment was followed by silence. Nobody disagreed, yet they did not want to admit that they all had thought the same thing. Shippou sighed and sat next to Kirara. Then Sango stood up and almost shouted, "Poison!"
"What?" Miroku and Shippou said, clearly very confused.
"Poison! The demon is poisonous!" Sango exclaimed. "I knew I remembered something about a demon that has light purple skin. It's part of being a demon slayer. You learn what certain types of demon characteristics mean. It's just like with frogs you know? Bright colors mean stay away. Well, in this case, it holds true for demons. The purple is not actually the skin itself, it's the poison that is in the demon's blood, and in the demon's skin." She paused. "We need to keep an eye on Kagome. Everyone nodded.
Kikyo, how long have you been so lonely? Inuyasha thought, rubbing his eyes. Kikyo and he had talked and laughed through the night, and she had finally fallen asleep, her head on his shoulder, and her hand on his chest. But Inuyasha had not slept much. He'd woken up in the middle of the night, but he could not figure out why. Something was bugging him; he had no idea what, but whatever it was, it was determined to make him miserable. Kikyo had said that, "it was just like old times." And it was. But, at the same time, it wasn't. Inuyasha had not been able to focus on everything Kikyo was saying, and had periodically zoned out, thinking about his friends and continually wondered about; Kagome. I wonder how Kagome is doing? But eventually he'd shake it off and remind himself that Kikyo had saved Kagome's life, so he did owe her.
Inuyasha rubbed his eyes again, and yawned quietly. It was morning; almost noon by the looks of it. He sat up, suddenly realizing that he'd been gone for… for… how long? Inuyasha carefully slid himself out from under Kikyo's sleeping figure, and stood up. He sniffed. Then he walked slowly away from Kikyo. He did not run back to the village. He walked. He walked slowly, aimlessly, thinking about Kikyo and how he could repay her.
Sango and Miroku sat outside, looking at the village from their perch on a grassy hilltop. Sango sighed heavily. Miroku glanced at her.
"Sango, I do not know how Inuyasha is going to react, but we do have to be ready for anything." Miroku said slowly.
"Mhm." Sango nodded, obviously just as anxious about the upcoming confrontation that would occur. "How do we tell him… how…oh never mind. We'll think of something I suppose."
Shippou hopped on Sango's lap, holding out a piece of paper. Sango examined the paper and smiled. She showed Miroku and he laughed. Then he said to Shippou, "you may want to dispose of that before Inuyasha sees it. He wouldn't find it funny." Shippou shrugged. Inuyasha would not appreciate his drawing at all. Kikyo and Inuyasha were getting married, except Inuyasha looked very mean, and Kikyo was just a skeleton with lots and lots of hair. Shippou thought was funny, but he knew Inuyasha would get mad at him. Shippou had just finished ripping up the paper and putting it in his pocket when Sango gave a shout. Miroku and Shippou jumped up and looked to see what Sango was frantically pointing at.
