Chapter 9: Meetings.
Last time on Encounters: Sango persuaded Kagome to go over to Inuyasha and Kikyo's to make-up.
Kagome had reoccurring thoughts about Inuyasha, she thought about things like what would he say to her, would she be able to talk to him without crying, what if she still have feelings for him.. After all he was the first person she ever loved in her whole life.. Worst of all would she revert back to her old self who had gave up on all hope on living and just wanted to take away the pain. The pain she used to feel in her heart is slowly fading, was it all thanks to Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru? Naah couldn't be Kagome thought.
"Kagome, we're almost here! See that little hut down there!?" Sango's voice yelled, snapping Kagome out of her little daydream. Kagome felt her chest tighten at the sight of the little hut.
"Yeah... I see it" Kagome said quietly, staring down at Kirara's fur.
Sango looked back at Kagome's depressing figure and sighed "You two are going to have to make up with each other eventually if not you could regret it for the rest of your life so cheer up a bit okay?" Kagome felt mixed emotions; she wanted to punch Inuyasha in the face for making her feel like this.
Miroku looked at Inuyasha's face "Is she here Inuyasha?" Miroku asked quietly enough for only Inuyasha to hear.
"Why'd she bring Kagome for..?" Inuyasha mumbled through his teeth. Kikyo sensed Inuyasha's downfall in mood and attempted getting out of her bed. Inuyasha heard a plonk noise on the ground and saw Kikyo on the floor, he rushed immediately to her.
"Kikyo, are you stupid? You can't move around just yet, you only just given birth to the baby four days ago..." Inuyasha gently said to her while picking her up.
"Inuyasha, I'm fine. What's wrong with you?" Kikyo asked out of curiosity. Inuyasha stared at Kikyo and kissed her forehead.
"We're going to have an unexpected visitor that we haven't seen in some time…" Inuyasha then put Kikyo back in the hay bed. Kikyo just stared into Inuyasha's eyes, she automatically knew who he was talking about.
Miroku sighed bringing Inuyasha's attention back to him "To answer your question Inuyasha, even I don't know why she brought Kagome, my guess is that Sango wants you two to make up" Inuyasha stared at Miroku.
'Make up huh? I have a bad feeling about this' Inuyasha thought.
"Besides, it's practically your fault she became depressed almost died and left us!" Shippo's voice yelled out while hitting Inuyasha's forehead.
"Shippo!" Inuyasha yelled out then grabbed him by the tail, Shippo swarmed around trying to break free.
"Inuyasha let go of Shippo" Miroku said getting ready to stand up and help the fox demon.
"Inuyasha… You haven't changed your ways have you?" A familiar voice said coming through the entrance. Inuyasha instantly dropped Shippo towards the ground; Shippo looked up at the female and ran towards her.
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled and jumped into her arms, Kagome gently smiled at the young fox demon.
"I'm sorry Shippo, I must've hurt you badly when I suddenly left" Kagome said apologetically.
Shippo instantly shook his head and looked up at Kagome.
"No, it's okay Kagome! You've changed... You seem more mature" Shippo said looking at Kagome's get-up.
Kagome blushed a little "Shippo, you also are becoming a mature fox demon, you're growing up"
"Ahem" Sango said interrupting Shippo and Kagome's little get together. Kagome's heart tightened when she knew that Inuyasha was standing right there, the air was becoming somewhat hard to breathe in.
"Long time no see Kagome…" Inuyasha said looking at the girl that stood before him once again. Kagome breathed in and out a couple of times trying to keep her composure.
"Yeah… Hi Inuyasha…" Kagome said 'Damn this is becoming awkward' Kagome thought. She then saw that Miroku, Sango and Shippo exited the room, not wanting to intervene there make-up session. Inuyasha then stared at Kagome making full eye contact with her.
"How're you?" Inuyasha asked.
"Did you really just ask me how I was? Inuyasha you prick you had thrown me out like I was garbage, you left me for an undead corpse and you're having a child with her!? I've been thrown into hell and back again!" Kagome yelled in frustration, her composure broke off easily. Inuyasha's eyes widened and then had a sorrowful look on them.
Kagome then started to take off her top.
"Kagome! What're you doin-"
Inuyasha got cut off when he saw a slash wound on her tummy.
"This was caused by me running away from a yokai then jumping off a cliff" Kagome said silently, She didn't care about how she looked because he has once seen this before, even so Inuyasha still had a tint of red on his face.
Inuyasha then touched her tummy giving Kagome the chills "I'm sorry Kagome… I couldn't protect you…" Inuyasha quietly said, Kagome started to cry she then hugged Inuyasha.
"Wh-Why did you leave me? I-I was so lonely" Kagome clenched onto Inuyasha's fire rat kimono. Inuyasha hugged Kagome back 'This is okay right? She didn't get to properly say farewell and let me go' Inuyasha thought while comforting Kagome and repeating "Sorry" over and over again. There little moment got interrupted by a crying voice, Kagome's eyes widened and Inuyasha scratched his head.
"Excuse me" He quietly said leaving Kagome there. Kagome sighed then put her top back on then remembered that they were expecting a child that must've been it crying. Inuyasha came out with the child, Kagome tried to keep everything together she walked up to Inuyasha and looked at the child.
"Kagome… This is Hikari, would you like to hold her?" Inuyasha asked, Kagome eyes widened at how cute the baby was, it had a little bit of silver hair on her and she had Kikyo's eyes.
"She looks like you, how cute" Kagome said with a weak smile. Inuyasha smiled and nodded and handed her over to Kagome. Hikari looked straight into Kagome's eyes, Kagome couldn't get over how adorable she was. Kagome handed Hikari back over to Inuyasha, and then exited the hut.
Sango saw her best friend storm out of the hut, she then rushed to Kagome.
"Kagome did you make up with Inuyasha?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah, I made up with him a little not enough for me to class him as my friend again" Kagome said with a shaky voice. Sango nodded, Sango even started to think whether this was the right idea or not, it could've been very risky they could've gotten worse and that would break Kagome's heart even more.
"I'm sorry Sango I just want to be alone for a while" Kagome said then walked off with no direction of where she was heading.
Kagome came across a river, she leant over the clean water that reflected her reflection, and her eyes were red from crying she sighed. Kagome put her head in the water and held her breathe. She came out of the water moments later then realised that her hair was everywhere, she didn't have her bag so she couldn't grab her comb and her hair. She ran her hands through her hair multiple times hoping to get her hair looking tidier.
"Woman what are you doing?" A voice said, Kagome got a fright then jumped and fell into the water. Moments later her head popped up her hair was covering her face blinding her from seeing anything, she then managed to get her hair out of her face.
"Sesshomaru! What are you doing here!?" Kagome yelled startling all the birds nearby. Sesshomaru sighed.
"I followed you here" Sesshomaru said, Kagome got out of the river, she was drenched from head to toe.
"Why'd you follow me here?" Kagome questioned as she squeezed the water from her hair onto the ground.
"Because you left without permission" Sesshomaru quietly said, Kagome's eyes widened.
"Since when did you own me Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked confused at what Sesshomaru had said.
"Since the day you started following me everywhere you wench" Sesshomaru said, Kagome stayed quiet as she remembered what had happened back at Inuyasha's.
"Are you happy with what you found out?" Sesshomaru asked then Kagome fell to the ground, Sesshomaru's eyes widened. Kagome, 'she still isn't over Inuyasha… I'm going to have to snap her back into shape, nothing good came from this' Sesshomaru quietly thought. He got tired of seeing her so miserable.
"Get up, we're leaving" Sesshomaru said then walked off, Kagome picked herself up then silently walked behind Sesshomaru "Your niece.. She's cute y'know" Kagome said but Sesshomaru stayed quiet, Kagome wasn't expecting a reply to what she had said.
