Chapter 8: Souta's Request, The Castle's Hope.
Almost two weeks passed before Souta was back to normal. Kagome loomed around the village every so often like a zombi as she wondered about her friends at the castle. Souta noticed Kagome wasn't her usual obaying self. Kagome would snap at anyone, but the elderly and little children if they said the wrong thing to her.
"Kagome, was it really cool at the castle?" Souta asked one night as he bounced around the house. Kagome nodded as Souta sat down in her lap. "Could I go there?" Souta asked. Kagome looked down at him and smiled.
"I'm sure everyone would be glad to have you go to the castle." Kagome said as Souta looked at her with a smile of his own.
"I meant to live there." Souta said as Kagome blinked.
"You'd wanna live with demons?" Kagome asked as Souta nodded 'yes'. "I'm sure, everyone would love to have you live there." Kagome said as she patted Souta's hair down again.
"Kagome!" Called a female voice from the door. Kagome turned her head to see Sango and Miroku standing there.
"Hey, come in!" Kagome said smiling. Sango and Miroku were holding something in their arms. "What'cha got there?"Kagome asked.
"Oh, we found this outside your door." Miroku said sitting down. He handed the package he brought in and Sango gave her the smaller package she had as she sat down too.
"Thanks. I wonder who left these." Kagome said as she opened them up. Three pieces of paper fluttered to the floor as she saw a picture. "Shippo, Tinya, Tanya, Chiritsu." Kagome said slowly as she looked at the photo. It was a drawing of her, Inuyasha, the castle, and the little ones. Kagome took the paper Souta handed out to her and read them. Tears welled up in her eyes as she read, laughing sadly every so often. Finishing the last page Kagome let out a sob. "Heh, Inuyasha, you jerk." Kagome said wipping her eyes.
"Sis?" Souta asked softly. Kagome looked at him with a smile.
"I'm ok, it just, my friends at the castle just wrote to me. They say they miss me a lot." Kagome said as she showed him the picture. Souta smiled at the picture.
"Sis, do you want to go back?" Souta asked. Slowly Kagome nodded 'yes' to him. "What else did they give you?" Souta asked looking at the box and other package. Kagome shrugged and opened them.
"Oh! Inuyasha, he sent the book I was reading!" Kagome said as she pulle out the old book. She then turned her attention to the other package. Opening it she started to laugh. "That jerk, thinking I can't protect myself!" Kagome smiled as she pulled out a jeweled dagger like sword. Souta ooed and awed at it.
"Wow! Inuyasha sent you that! It beautiful!" Sango said as she awed at it too. Kagome pulled the blade out a bit and smiled.
"Jerk." Kagome said as she shethed it again. Looking at Souta she smiled. "Souta, do you want to go to the castle?" Kagome asked. Souta's eyes lit up.
"You mean it! I can go to the castle!" Souta asked jumping up and down. Kagome smiled at him.
"I'll take that as a yes." Kagome said looking over at Sango and Miroku. "Do you two wanna come to? I'm pretty sure Inuyasha wouldn't mind you being there." Kagome said to them.
"Sure," Sango said smiling.
"I'm in." Miroku added. Kagome smiled and stood up.
"Ok then! We leave tonight! It's not that far and it's not to dark so, let's leave tonight." Kagome said claping her hands together. Souta jumped up and down again as he went to pack his things. Anything he could fit in his bag he did. Kagome told Miroku and Sango to do the same and they left. Kagome smiled as she packed everything she couldn't part with.
When Sango and Miroku came back Kagome lead and they all left for the castle.
