Okay. The little shorty that I gave you all last time is part of the story, but the it's too short to put as the last chapter segment. So I used an insert from the chapter before that one. Just so you know
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…
Chapter 11: Kohaku's Dilemma0o0 Before Now…0o0
"But for now, sleep," the little kitsune pushed her backward while taking the empty bowl from her hands. Kagome sighed, she knew she wasn't going to win, and she was tiered. But just before falling asleep with Shippō curled up next to her, and odd thought struck her. She knew he hadn't been there for the past two days while she had been awake, but…
'Where is Inuyasha?'
0o0 And now…0o0
The next day, Kagome was walking through the woods, heading for the well, with Sango, Shippō and Miroku, who had her backpack. She suddenly felt the familiar tingle of a shard.
"Um…guys…" she looked up in the direction. A small form was standing there. "Kohaku…" The boy stepped out of the shadows. He looked up at the group.
"Why did Naraku want to kill you all the time?" he asked.
"Do you remember anything?" Kagome asked him gently.
He looked down at ground. "I only remember from with Naraku. But before that…" he trailed off.
Kagome kneeled down, looking at his back. The Shikon Shard was gleaming with a healthy, pure light.
"Kohaku, you have a very important decision to make. When you were brought back to life, your soul was attached to this Shikon shard," she placed her hand on his back, "and he told us if it was removed, you would die. But since Naraku isn't alive any longer, his spell may have stopped working, since it tied you directly to him. Other spells that he may have set up will continue, for they are not connected to him. So your soul may have been absorbed into your body. I can't tell for sure. But your decision is this, You may either let me remove the shard, risk dying, or living with your memories. Or you can keep the shard in and live without memories or knowledge of anything, not even of your sister, Sango, but only of what Naraku has told you." Kohaku looked up at Sango, she appeared to be battling with happiness that Kohaku was alive, and sadness that he wasn't free yet, and hopefulness that he would live.
"Kohaku," Kagome drew his attention back to her, "I'm going home for a while. I will be about a week. You can think about it. But right now, I need to heal and get my strength back. Follow the path that way and you'll come upon a village. There is a priestess with white hair. She will be outside working with some herbs. Talk to her. She can get you settled and something to eat." Kohaku nodded, glance up at Sango again and walked off down the path.
Sango sighed. She really didn't know what to do for her brother. 'I'll help you any way I can…'
They had reached the well. Kagome thanked Miroku and took her bag from him. Jumping in, she didn't notice the little stowaway in her bag.
I THANK MY TWO REVIEWERS! They are wonderful!
Sorry about the shorty chapter again…the same thing with my sisters being infatuated with the computer…..
By the way, when I said review at the end of every chapter, I meant at the end of this chapter, and another review when I post the next one up. So pretty much, I mean I would like a review before I post the next chapter…
R&R!
