CHAPTER 5

Inuyasha let out his gigantic sword. He was aware of what was really out there. If he must fight whatever is out there then he will. He'll do it not for him, but for the protection of Kagome. But he wasn't in the mood to fight. Nothing, but Kagome, was in his mind. He then wouldn't be able to concentrate.

"Who's there!? And what the fuck do u want!?" He growld.



The laughs continued. Inuyasha was getting angrier by the minute. He really didn't have any time for foolishness. After a while of silence, a voice arose.



"No need to curse, boy. How unfortunate. You can hear the laughs of my children. Oh, but of course! Your a dog demon." Said the womenly voice.

"You still didn't answer my damn question!" He growled. He wasn't so sure where the voice was coming from. He looked around for a body form but non did he see.

"No patients at all, I see. Inuyasha is your name, correct?"

He did nothing but growl. Why should he respond to some stranger like this? But how would this stranger know his name??

"Hmm...I'll take that as a yes. I'm guessing your still waiting for my answer." Said the bodiness stranger. "I am, indeed, the spirt of this forest. And the laughs you heard before you are my children, my nymphs. They are dwellers of this forest. Though, you are not able to see them or me for that fact."

"I have no care for you or your nymphs." He said while turning around to go back to the cabin. "Just leave us be."

"But you care about Kagome's health, am I right?"

Inuyasha's heart jumped, stopping his movement. He wondered how this...thing knows about Kagome's health. Inuyasha spun around rapidly.

"What do you know about Kagome?! I bet your the one who made her sick!"

Silence broke in between their conversation.

"Yes...I was the one that made her sick."

Inuyasha's eyes were burning with anger. He became so confused. Had he done something to anger the spirit of the forest?

"Tell me....Why did you do it. Why didn't you do it to me instead?" Inuyasha bowed his head, trying to hold back his tears of hurt.

"You have trespassed in my territory. Did you think I would let you get away with it?" The voice said in a cocky tone. "And plus, my children are very delicate. I was affraid you would hurt them. I knew you were a demon from the minute you stepped in my forest. And I know that you wouldn't be easily driven away. So I planted a shadow nymph in your beloved Kagome. That shadow nymph is a parasite. It sucks up the energy of the host and eventually kills it once its done feeding. Although, it never took this long to collect the energy. That girl of yours is pretty strong."

"And you think killing Kagome will drive me away from here??" He cried out. Now he was more then angry. This wasn't right at all. Kagome doesn't deserve to die. Not like this. And this spirit has no right to take away the life of an innocent. He would give up his life for her, just to let her live the life that was never completed. "You listen to me, you little bodiless bitch! Your were wrong. Killing Kagome wouldn't drive me away, but instead it would make me stay here. If she doesn't live then I will spend every minute of my life, burning down your fucking forest!"

Silence broke in between them again.

"Now either you cure her now, or every plant in this forest will be burned down and your fucking nymphs won't have a shelter!"

The spirit hesitated. She had no idea a demon would get this mad for a mortal. Although, she was not herself. Spirits aren't suppose to kill. They are suppose to protect. But was killing suppose to be an option to protect? - What have I done?? - the spirit said to herself.

"There...is no way to save her now...." A hesitation. "There was plant called a red lilac that can be used to kill the parasite...but it had already consumed most of her energy already. It is useless now."



"Then order the parasite to stop consuming her energy!!"



"It's not that easy! It became too strong. It's no longer under my control."

Inuyasha did nothing but fall to the floor. - She must be lying! I can't lose Kagome. I need her... -

"The only thing that could save her now is herself. She may fight the parasite mentally but I doubt that she will succeed. Like I said, it isn't that easy. Especially for a mortal."

At least there is still hope. If only Inuyasha could do something to help save her.

"If you love her, then I suggest that you spend as much time with her."



He stood up and turned around to return to the cabin.

"Accept my apology...please." said the voice.

Inuyasha once again stopped his movement and hesitated. He didn't say anything. He couldn't accept it. An apology wasn't enough. The spirit has damaged him way too much. It is taking the only person that could heal him from the broken heart that Kikyo had damaged.

He continued to walk to the cabin.

As he sat beside Kagome, he thought about how rude he'd been to her. He blamed himself for his indecency to her.

He bowed his head to her motionless body, showing a sign of losing all hope.
