Chapter 9
It had been a long dinner, after dinner Kaede stayed up for an hour or two and went to bed. Even then Kagome waited for thirty minutes to make sure that Kaede was asleep. She then got her attire on and went out. The moon was covered by clouds unlike last time. As she passed by the same mansion as on her last outing something caught her attention, she couldn't see very well she was only able to see the silhouettes of a man.
She stopped. "What are you doing up so late? Didn't you know it's dangerous out on the streets at night?" "I would say the same for you." Kagome was shocked but quickly recovered herself. "I don't need to fear the night, it's my friend." Then the clouds moved revealing the moon. The moons rays slowly cast themselves down onto the silhouette, illuminating him to show that it was none other then Inuyasha. Two figures stepped out from behind Inuyasha. Miroku and Sango. "We know what you're about to do Kagome, and we can't let you. There is no way we are going to let you carry through with it." Kagome took off her mask, and glared at the three of them. Sango stepped up and put her hands on her shoulders. "Kagome, you don't have to carry this out. Remember…" Kagome shrugged off Sango's hands, "And what do you think I'm planning?" "You're going to find and kill Souta's murderer and right after that kill yourself."
Kagome took a step back, she had never expected that they would be able to figure that out, especially not the suicide. Her composure came back though and she pulled herself up. "So if you know that then you know that you won't possibly be able to dissuade me from my decision. It's final." She was about to turn around when she was forcefully turned around.
"You are so selfish Kagome! Your brother dies and I know that it's hard for you but you refuse to realize that there just because your brother is gone doesn't mean that your life is over! Get over yourself!" Inuyasha yelled. Then his voice softened, "You have friends who are here for you." Kagome looked away, the storm started to quiet in her eyes.
"You're right, I'm sorry, but the thing is… I have to do this. He was the one thing I could come back to. Now he's gone." "Killing the murderer and yourself won't bring him back to life. In the end it will only make you feel worse…" Kagome turned her head away, "Souta wouldn't want this." "What do you know what Souta wanted! Do you think he wanted to be stabbed?! Do you think he wanted to suffer in pain?! Do you think he wanted to die!?" "No, but he wouldn't want you to do this." "I will get my revenge, and you're not going to stop me." Inuyasha sighed. "Fine, just let us come with you."
Then Miroku spoke up, "Hey just wondering, where is your mom?" she disappeared when Souta was… "Oh my gosh! You don't think…" Kagome put her hand up to her face. She looked at Inuyasha with wild eyes. Then she ran off. The three sped off after her.
She finally stopped at a tunnel. "Kagome what are you doing?" Sango asked her while taking big rasping breaths. "Don't you think that it's odd how when I left my mother was with Souta, but then she disappeared?" "Could she have been kidnapped?" "No, I know that for a fact, my mom always has a pistol in her purse and knows karate. The only time she would get kidnapped would be if it was a sort of stunt for a campaign to make people pity her." Inuyasha looked at her, "you think that your mother killed Souta didn't you?" She nodded. "But why would she do that? What reason could a mother have of killing her son?" Miroku asked. "She's twisted, who knows what goes on in her head. The only way to find out is to go in there. Come on, I'll show you the way." She led the three into the cave and walked over to a small rock at the far end of the cave. She tilted the rock back slightly and a mechanical switch could be heard clicking. The wall of the cave slid back and to the side revealing a secret room, and what they saw shocked them.
So I just noticed, it's really awesome to read Chapter 7 of this story while listening to the nightcore version of Runnin' you know the one with the boy and the origami birds surrounding him
