Ok, another chapter.
I have three things to say.
1. I won't be posting any more today more than likely, but I'll try
to make up for it tomarrow.
2. I wrote my first song fic, it's based on Gackt's song, 'Kimi ga
Oikaketa Yume', and Inuyasha. It takes place during their final battle
with Naraku. I usually don't like my fics, (Even though I enjoy writing
them alot) *I display too much self critisism*, but I liked this one. I
REALLY liked this one.....
3. If my stories are confusing, or too short, ff.net eats my
spacing. I ment for them to be longer.
With that said, on with the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha and Kagome walked to Kaede's shop before the sun was barely in the sky, just as they usually did, but this time, Inuyasha's hearing picked up a lot of commotion going on just ahead.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Shh...I'm trying to listen." he said, placing a finger to her lips. She nodded.
".........she died last night?......"
"...........hai. Of old age more than likely."
"............She lived a long, good life."
"Someone in the village died." he said. He already knew who it was, but didn't want to upset Kagome.
Just then, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kohaku came running up. "Kagome! Kagome! Kaede's dead!"
'She had to open her big mouth.' Inuyasha thought.
"Nani?!" Kagome's eyes grew wide, filling with fear and sorrow. Tears began to form in her beautiful chocolate eyes.
'Please don't cry....please don't cry...' Inuyasha repeated over and over in his mind. She allowed a couple of tears to fall, then she lost it. 'Oh crap, she's crying.' He slowly pulled her in his arms, and she grasped his haori, crying on his chest ever so softly. "Kagome, it's alright." he said, trying to be as comforting as possible, "She probably died of old age."
Kagome looked up at him, tears drying on her face, new ones forming and falling. He used his sleeve to wipe away the tears. "I.*sniff* want to go see her. *Sniff*"
Inuyasha nodded and picked her up gently, "We'll meet you there." he told Sango and the others, and he lept off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once at Kaede's shop, they were greeted by the man and woman who had given Inuyasha the blankets so many years ago. "Inuyasha, after so many years, it is nice to see you again." greeted the woman and her husband nodded.
"Hai, I just wish they were under better situations."
"I agree." said the man, holding his wife close to him.
Kagome looked between the three faces. She had never seen these people before, yet Inuyasha knew them. "How did Kaede die?" he asked.
The man shook his head. "No one knows. She was seen going into her shop as usual, but......"
"....but it never opened." his wife finished.
"We think it is because of her old age." the man said.
"How old...was she?" Kagome spoke up.
"No one knows exactly. The monks and priests of the temple remember her, baby sitting them when they were born and shortly after, and they themselves are over seventy years."
Kagome and Inuyasha exchanged glances. 'Now that's old for a human.' Inuyasha thought to himself. He dare not say that comment out loud.
"Well, we must go now. Don't let it be so long before we see eachother again." called the woman as she waved.
"And bring your lovely girl friend with you as well!" called the man. Kagome and Inuyasha both blushed furiously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the day wore on, all but Inuyasha grew weary. Kagome and Inuyasha said good-bye to Sango and the others, and headed back to the hut. After that, Inuyasha would head to the stream to bathe. He had been asked to dig the grave for Kaede.
Once he returned, he found Kagome exactly where he had set her-on her bed, sobbing quietly. He walked over to her, and hugged her gently. Inuyasha wiped the salty tears away from Kagome's delicate visage as she clentched onto his haori tightly, repeating the same words over and over, "I can't believe it..I just can't believe it. Kaede's...gone." Her tears ran down her visage that much harder.
"Kagome, please...she is probably in a wonderful place now, so please..don't cry." he said, hugging her closer, and kissing the top of her head ever so gently.
