Chapter Eight - Forgive

Talking could be heard coming from inside Keade's hut. Everyone but one certain half demon, a priestess, and one healer sat around the fire. All wounds had healed since the day before, making Taski tired from using all her powers. She slept by the wall with a blanket covering her curled up form.

"So Inuyasha is still at the river?" Miroku nodded to Sango, who asked the question. "Kagome went down there to comfort him." Sango then nodded as she stirred the now cold ramen. "I hope she can comfort him. Ever since he transformed back to a half demon he's been so sad." Looking into Sango's brown eyes, Miroku's blue ones held a calm look. "How would you be if you killed hundreds of innocent?" Sango's eyes took a sad look as she continued to look into her ramen. "You're right."

She pushed another tree branch out of her way. Truthfully, she had no true idea where she was going. Just hoping she was going the right way towards the half demon; she continued on towards the field that she hoped held her love.

Kagome moved the last branch that blocked her way and saw the light from the moon shine her way. In front of her was a field that was surrounded by one lone tree that held no leaves what so ever. To the side awhile away was a river that gave a soothing sound to everyone who entered this silent place. Looking into the lone tree, at the very top was a branch that held a silver haired dog demon.

"Inuyasha?" He continued to stare forward at some place farther away than where they were really at. His gold eyes were distant, she could tell from the ground. "Inuyasha, can you hear me?" The small, fury ears on top of his head turned in her direction though his eyes stayed locked looking ahead.

Sitting at the base of the tree, Kagome brought her knees to chest and her arms around her legs. Another gust of wind went by, blowing her hair into her face and causing goose bumps to appear on her exposed flesh. Though it was the spring time, the air was still cold and the skirt and short sleeved shirt she was wearing was no help. "Should have brought my jacket," Kagome mumbled to her self as the cold air brushed against her again, creating a chill to go down her spine. Again she shivered, hoping that the cold night's air would stop soon.

As another shiver ran down her spine, she felt a material drape across her shoulders. The material felt warm and heavy, but itchy as well. Pulling the material closer, she noticed it was the red top shirt of Inuyasha's outfit. Looking to her side, she saw the half demon still staring off ahead but while by her side. "Thank you Inuyasha." Kagome said as she pulled the shirt even closer to her, surrounding her in the rat fur. "It's nothing; just don't want you catching a cold."

Kagome smiled and leaned her head against Inuyasha's shoulder. "Are you alright?" There was a silence for awhile, until he spoke. "I killed so many people, even hurt all my friends. I even hurt you Kagome! How can you forgive me after I left you to die?!"

His hands fisted in his pants, but his claws still pierced his hand to make small drops of blood to appear on the red pants. "I promised to protect you," his voice sounded broken that it made Kagome want to cry. "And look what I did. I almost killed you."

Kagome now looked into his gold eyes that stared into her eyes now. They were so sad that Kagome thought he might start to cry at anytime. Taking her hand, she gently placed it on Inuyasha's face. He nuzzled her hand that now cupped his cheek.

"Inuyasha, you weren't yourself when that happened. It's not your fault." "That was still me, even if I was a full demon. I was the one who attacked and killed so many people for no reason." Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck, giving him a one sided hug. "Another part of you did do that, but that's not the part of you you're normally are. You were against your will."

Kagome's hand went through Inuyasha's hair in a way to comfort him. It seemed to be working because he wasn't as rigid as he was awhile ago. "Inuyasha, it's not your fault." He didn't say anything, but she knew he heard her.

Inuyasha felt his eye lids become heavy as he slowly drifted off to sleep, holding Kagome to him. Kagome continued to run her hands through Inuyasha's hair till she fell asleep. Laying his head in the crook of her neck as she laid her head on the top of his head, the two went to sleep in the peaceful forest. Two little furry ears kept on alert as both went into a peaceful sleep.

Sango and Miroku went looking for their two missing friends in the forest. "It's been hours since they came back, you think they're alright?" Worry was evident in Sango's voice as she searched around the forest for her friends. "Inuyasha wouldn't let anything happen to Kagome, you know that. And Inuyasha can take care of himself." Miroku looked ahead, seeing a clearing coming into view.

Moving some branches aside and walking through the bushes, they came to the same clearing Inuyasha and Kagome were sleeping in. Both stared at the two at the trunk of the tree where the two were holding each other in their sleep. The two looked at each other than back to the others sleeping. Both smiled and walked back towards the village, knowing the two were safe and nothing would happen to them.

Sorry for the OOC-ness of this chapter. I was at a loss. Seriously, I didn't know what to write for this chapter other than the fact Inuyasha being comforted by Kagome. :s If you guys want to try, write your own version of this chapter (just ask me first please). Sorry for everything, I'll work harder. Promise!
