Thank you for the reviews! Hope your enjoying this!
Inu Yasha: Come on, this is taking waaaay too long!
Kagome: Yeah! We've been waiting for what happens next for a llloooooonngggggg time now!
Okay well here it is.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome knelt beside Inu Yasha, glancing up to watch Kikyo glide silently away across the meadow, never looking back.
Inu Yasha stirred. Kagome held him close.
'Inu Yasha? Inu Yasha! Please wake up! I don't know what I'd do without you! Please don't die! Wake up, Inu Yasha!' she began to cry, tears falling softly down her face and landing on his blood-stained haori, a darker spread of red than the bright color she loved.
Inu Yasha stirred again, but did not open his eyes or respond. As she held him, he slowly went limp, draping over her lap like a used rag-doll. One ear twitched, then he lay still.
'NO! Inu Yasha!' Kagome screamed, clutching at him as though she could bring him back if she yelled loud enough. He didn't move. She gently laid him out, then ran back to Kaede's hut, yelling for them to come quick.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Miroku blinked unhappily as the lamp Kagome held shone into him face.
'What- what? Go-way. . .' he mumbled. She raised her hand to slap him, and he jerked upright. About to make a funny comment, he looked at her face. She looked strained, hurt and angry, yet horribly sad, so miserable she seemed to be in pain. Tears streamed down her face. In an instant Miroku was on his feet, hugging her.
'It's ok- whatever it is, it'll be alright, don't worry. Now, tell me what is wrong.' He murmured, not even trying to feel her up- there was something terribly wrong, he knew, and this was not the time for joking.
'Inu- *sob* -Yasha! He's- he's- d-d-dead. . .' she sobbed into his shoulder. Kaede was already up and getting ready. 'I think he's d- ead- but- *sob* I d-d-don't know for sure!' she collapsed, weeping. Miroku picked her up with one arm, and pulled Sango from her sleeping roll with the other, running out the door.
'Where, Kagome? Where?' he said earnestly, putting her down for a second. Kagome shakily stood, then ran in the direction of the meadow, and Inu Yasha, unable to see her own feet because of blinding tears, but finding the way anyway. She fell to her knees by his side upon reaching him, checking to see if he had recovered at all. He hadn't- he was still lying in the place she had left him in, silver hair lying in a halo on the ground, tinged red where it touched blood.
'Oh, Inu Yasha! Oh, Inu Yasha!' she murmured to herself, rocking back and forth, face buried in hands. Kaede knelt on the other side of him.
'Ah- this is the arrow of my sister, Kikyo. She was here with ye, then.' She glanced at Kagome, who nodded.
'Then it is simple enough- all we have to do is remove the arrow, and Inu Yasha will recover. The arrow has a spell on it, however, so removing it will be a challenge. Miroku- ye must carry him back to the hut. Come, Kagome- ye must not worry- Inu Yasha will be alright.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Where am I?' Inu Yasha asked dreamily. His voice sounded far off to him, and he drifted lazily through a whirl of soft pink starlight.
'He's alright! Did you hear him? He spoke!' came to him from across the stars, the pink light forming gentle words before him.
'You are in Kaede's house. With us- and you're going to be alright! Don't worry- go to sleep now. . . drink this broth, it will help you sleep.' An excited voice told him, and a gentle hand helped him drink it down. He then drifted back across the barriers of sleep, watching the stars dance in his eyelids, knowing that it would be alright.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Well, Inu Yasha, you certainly gave us all a fright! I hope this arrows thing doesn't become a habit. That's what- the hundredth time she's hit you with an arrow?' Miroku jibed. Inu Yasha growled at him, ears lying flat against his head.
They were sitting on the ground outside Kaede's hut, Inu Yasha leaning up against the wall and eating noodles. Kagome sat beside him, unconsciously leaning up against his shoulder. Miroku sat opposite them, laughing softly, and Sango leaned against a barrel.
'Believe me, I don't enjoy getting half-killed any more than you- though I expect if it were Sango doing the killing you wouldn't mind- and I don't intend to be killed by Kikyo. In fact, as soon as I'm able, I'm going back out and hunting her down. Apparently, while one of us lives, the other must die- and I'd rather it wasn't me that died. I'm going to seek her out. Tomorrow.' At this everyone gaped- Inu Yasha, seek out Kikyo? And him, not fully recovered from his last encounter with her? Surely not!
'And what's more-' Inu Yasha continued, 'I'm going alone. I don't want any of you with me. This is my affair, and I will not endanger any of you for it.' He realized how that sounded, and added, 'Not that I care about you all, or anything. . .'
'WHAT!' Kagome cried, standing up and turning to face him. 'You are NOT going alone! Not to her! She'll kill you! Not just kill you- she'll drag you down to hell, when you're dead! You need our help! And we are not letting you go without us.' She said defiantly.
'Oh yes I am going alone! And I'd like to see any of you stop me!' Inu Yasha retorted, jumping up and looking down at her from his greater height. 'You would just be in the way! Besides, you don't need me to find the jewel shards! But you are the only one who can find them- so you can't come with me on this! I-'
Kagome was now standing in front of the still seated Miroku, her little green skirt giving him a tantalizing view of what was within his grasp. It was too much for him to resist. His hand snaked up and tweaked her, making her jump in surprise and fall against Inu Yasha, who caught her in bewilderment. Kagome immediately spun around and slapped Miroku hard enough to knock him back against the ground.
'YOU HENTAI!' Kagome yelled angrily. She stalked over to sit beside Sango, and they started a heated conversation in whispers about certain perverted young monks who couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Inu Yasha walked over and extended a hand to help his friend up, rolling his eyes at him.
'Don't you ever learn?' he growled. Miroku smiled- this was more like his friend Inu Yasha, than a couple of days ago, on that terrible night, when Inu Yasha had reacted so angrily and possessively.
'Nope- just couldn't resist. . .' Miroku grinned at him. Inu Yasha shook his head, and went to finish his noodles, muttering to himself.
'Pervert.'
