Kagome was laying in the corner of the hut thinking about what just happened, 'I can't believe I killed my own father. But look at what he did to mom. What kind of people would beat their own wife? A monster, that's what kind' Kagome thought trying to fight the guilty about killing her father. She decided to go to sleep and stop thinking about it for now.
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, he could tell she was actually falling asleep now, which meant they could talk about what happened. He looked over at the others and nodded, "she's asleep now."
Sesshomaru started, "we are about two days from the cave now. If we hurry we could reach it in a day and a half. We must get there before Mouryoumaru moves."
Miroku nodded his head in agreement; "we can't afford anymore delays in fear of losing them."
"But what about Kagome?" Sango said, "Do you think she'll be up to a fight?"
Inuyasha was thinking about that, 'Kagome are you ok? Will you be able to even fight? Or will you get hurt?' he couldn't think about Kagome getting hurt, "we'll head to the cave and if Kagome isn't up to the fight by then, then she'll hide."
"Inuyasha you know Kagome won't just sit back and let everyone fight while she's on the side lines." Souta said. " I know I haven't been here before but I can tell by the way she acts, plus she was that way back in the future anyway."
Miroku and Sango both nodded, "you know Souta is right Inuyasha."
"Keh ya, she won't sit over while we're in danger." Inuyasha said, 'we can't do this without her anyway.'
"Why don't we get to sleep then head out early in the morning?" Sango suggested. Everyone nodded and started getting ready to sleep.
Inuyasha went over and sat by Kagome. She was sleeping but he could see she wasn't sleeping too well. He gently lifted her up and put her in his lap. She snuggled into his chest fell into a peaceful slumber. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close as he drifted off to sleep as well.
The next morning they all got up and Sango made some ramen for everyone. Inuyasha was glad to see Kagome eating again. He had hoped yesterday's battle hadn't bugged her so much that she wouldn't eat.
Once everyone was finished they headed towards the cave. In order to get there faster they decided to run. Rin and Jaken rode on Ah-Un, Miroku and Sango rode on Kirara along with Shippo. Everyone else ran.
Kagome started thinking while she was running, 'Naraku you destroyed my family. You're probably the one that made my father do what he did. He was never like that until that one day he beat my mom.' Kagome started to get angry the more she thought, 'Naraku you've destroyed so many lives and made so many fall apart. Today you're gonna die.' She started moving faster and pulled ahead of everyone else.
'What is that wench doing?' Inuyasha ran faster and caught up with Kagome. He looked at her; her eyes were starting to turn red. He grabbed her and made her stop. "Kagome? Are you ok?" when she tried to pull away and start running again, he grabbed both her arms and made her look at him. Inuyasha could see the anger in her eyes, mixed with guilt. " Kagome, you had to kill Kenta," he gently told her. "He was dangerous and you had to kill him to protect Souta."
Kagome started at Inuyasha, "but he was my father."
Inuyasha shook his head; " a real father wouldn't have done that to his family."
Kagome just looked towards the ground. "This is all Naraku's fault. That bastard is gonna pay for all he's done." She pulled out of Inuyasha's arms and started running before Inuyasha even had time to register what was going on.
Inuyasha growled and started after Kagome. "Kagome get your ass back here!" he yelled
Everyone was watching what happened not even knowing what to think, finally they decided they had better catch up with them.
"Wench slow down! We have to wait for the others!"
Kagome just ignored him, one thing on her mind. 'Destroy Naraku'.
