Chapter 14

--------------------------------------------------------

While they were on their journey, Inuyasha and the gang stopped at a river in a near by forest. They saw Sesshomaru near the river washing blood of his claws. Inuyasha thought it was strange for his brother to be cleaning blood off of himself. He thought that he recognized the scent of the blood, but quickly brushed it off.

"What the hell are you doing?" Inuaysha asked.

"Don't worry about it. It's not any of your business." Sesshomaru answered.

"How about if I make it my business. Especially if you're killing people." He said.

"I had to take care of something important. Now I can move on." Sesshomaru lied. Because he didn't know if he could more on with what he had just done to Kikyo.

"What the hell is he talking about?" Inuyasha thought to himself. "You're not making any sense."

"Like I said, don't worry about it." Sesshomaru said. Then he turned to leave.

"I don't trust him." Inuyasha told the others. "I'm going to follow him because I think that the blood is Kikyo's."

Inuyasha came to the forest, but Sesshomaru disappeared. Then he picked up the scent of blood. He followed it until he came to an oak tree. The blood smelt like Kikyo's, but she wasn't anywhere to be found.

At Naraku's Castle: Naraku told Inu-Sonya to go pay Sesshomaru a visit.

"With everything that's been happening, Sesshomaru might need some moral support." Naraku said sarcastically.

"I agree." Sonya said. Then she went to go find Sesshomaru.

Kagome sat on a rock by the river. She knew that Inuyasha loved and wanted to protect her, but she also knew that he would always be there for Kikyo. She didn't want him to have to choose because she thought it would be an easy choice. No matter how many times he said that he loved her, she knew that he was just trying to make her feel better when he hurt her.

"Are you okay?" Sango asked when she saw Kagome.

"I'm okay….Really." Kagome answered.

"Inuyasha still seems to care about Kikyo a lot. I mean, it must be really hard to stay with him."

"Sometimes I wonder if Inuyasha would run to save me." Kagome said.

"Of course he would!" Sango answered.

"Enough about me and Inuyasha. What about you and Miroku?" Kagome asked when she saw Miroku sitting alone.

"What do you mean? He's nothing but a big pervert." Sango said as her face turned red.

"Why don't you go talk to him? I know he likes you a lot." Kagome said.

"O-okay." Sango said. Then she walked over and sat next to Miroku.

"Hello Sango!" He said.

"Miroku, there is something that I want to ask you. How do you feel…. Urr… you pervert! Can't you just keep your hands to yourself." Sango said as she slapped Miroku for touching her butt.

Miroku saw the look in her eyes. Then he snapped back to reality.

"What is it that you wanted to ask me?" He said with a soft look in his eyes.

"It's nothing!" Sango said, but Miroku gave her an (I know you lying) look. "I-I was w-wondering how y-you feel a-about me." Sango said then quickly looked away.

He just stared at her. Miroku never really thought about how he felt about Sango before. He must of liked her a lot, seeing as every time he thought about a woman, she would pop into his mind.

"Well Sango, I really like you a lot. You have left an impression on my heart and especially my face." He told her.

"You really mean it?" She asked. "You won't ask other women to bare you children?"

"Never again!" He answered.

"And you won't touch my butt anymore?"

Miroku never answered the question, he just pulled Sango into a hug.

Kagome watched the two together. She was happy, but a little jealous. She was happy for Sango and Miroku, but was jealous because she knew that Miroku would never hurt Sango the way Inuyasha hurts her. What would happen if it was Kikyo's blood? Would Inuyasha still lover her, or would he be so full of vegence that he would forget about her? Kagome could do nothing but sit and wait for Inuyasha to return.

Inuyasha came across an old oak tree because this is where the scent that might have been Kikyo's was. Once again, Kikyo was nowhere to be found.

"Why is Kikyo's scent here, and what might have happened to her?" Inuyasha asked himself. "If something did happen to her, she couldn't have left on her own. Could she? No! She couldn't have. Naraku must be behind this. Maybe this is some sick joke he is trying to pull."

He was about to go look some more, but then he remembered Kagome.

"She must be worried about me by now." Inuyasha thought. Then he headed back to the river to meet the others.

Sesshomaru was walking in the woods, when he saw Sonya.

"What do you want? Because right now I don't feel like seeing anyone." Sesshomaru told her.

"What's the matter? Can't a girl visit her older brother?" She said sarcastically. "Ohh wait! You're still upset about killing the woman of your dreams."

"I have no business with you, so leave. Go bother Inuyasha or something." He firmly said. "By the way, I did not love that woman. She got in my way, so I had to eliminate her."

"That's not how I see it!" Sonya said. "The way I see it, you had feelings for her and couldn't come to grip with that. So you killed her."

"Go away!" Sesshomaru said.

"Fine, but I will see you again!" Then Inu-Sonya left.

Sesshomaru was glad that was all over with. But when he turned around, he saw Kikyo staring back at him.
