(Disclaimer:) I do not own Inu Yasha. He owns me.
(A.N) Hi, everyone. I'm sad because I haven't been getting very many reviews lately *cries* But, I guess that's okay, because I will eventually. I think I'm going to add some more onto my other stories soon, because I feel like I'm giving this story to much time and neglecting my other fics. ^ ^ Of course fics can't think so they won't notice, now will they? Lol oh well. Now onto chapter twenty-four! (gosh, already 24 chapters!)
Haunting Me in Dreams
Chapter Twenty-Four : Stained
By : Feng Shui Goddess
I awoke to find Sango kneeling over my body, tears in her eyes. My eyelids felt heavy, and I felt like I had been sleeping forever. I could smell blood, and lots of it. Kyozame's blood; his impure, demonic, hatered filled blood. The scent reeked and made me feel dizzy and lightheaded. "Inu Yasha, you're all right. I'm so glad, I didn't think you were going to wake up!" I sighed, and slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Me, dying? Do you really have such little faith in me, Sango?" I asked, stretching my arms high in the sky. "Of course I have faith in you, Inu Yasha, but you just recovered from your previous wounds a few days ago. Say, speaking of your wounds, how are your new ones doing...?" I looked down at my chest that was covered with blood, and my torn kimono. I slipped my top down and looked at my chest, expecting to see many deep wounds... To discover that all my wounds were healed, without a trace of ever being there. Then my hands traveled up to my neck, to find that it was healed as well. It was so strange for my wounds to be healed so quickly, even if I was a full blood demon they wouldin't have healed so soon. I gasped, realizing that my wounds were healed by the power of the Shikon no Tama. I had heard rumors of it giving the person who carried it the power to almost immediately heal. I guessed that that was why Kyozame had healed so quickly whenever I punctured his skin. Sango gasped, noticing my healed wounds. "How..." she asked, astonishment in her voice. I shrugged, pretending not to know the meaning. I slowly stood up, and walked over to Kyozame's corpse. My sword was still stuck in his chest cavity, so I pulled it out of his body, laughing a quiet laugh. I lifted the sword to my face, and inspected it. Kyozame's blood stained the steel blade, dripping down onto the floor. I licked some of the blood off the sword, now laughing freely. "Sayonara," I said.
Later that day, Sango and I sat munching on some food she had purchased at a nearby villiage. She let out a sigh, "I'm so glad that Kyozame is gone, now many people can rest in peace knowing that they will no longer be harmed by him." I nodded, "yeah, I'm sure lots of people will be happier not that he's dead." I mentally laughed inside, 'yeah, espically me, now that I have the Shikon no Tama.' Somehow I felt that having the sacred jewel in my posession made me change in personality. They said that all that ever came from the jewel was evil, anger, and hatered... and maybe they were right. Maybe if you had the jewel you became so obsessed with it that it took over your body, without it even being inside of you. I sighed, 'don't worry about it, Inu Yasha. It's better now that you have the jewel back, now you can get your revenge... finally.' Sango poked my side, "Inu Yasha, what's wrong? You're quiet, and don't seem to be yourself today." I smiled, "don't worry about it, I'm just a little tired, that's all. I'll be fine tomorrow." Of course I wasn't lying... completely. I was rather tired even though I had passed out earlier. But also fear was growing little by little inside me, as I wondered about what was going to happen to me now that I had the jewel in my posession. I knew that if I used it, I wouldin't be myself any longer... But I really didn't care very much. In my heart I knew that I didn't have much of a future ahead of me... I didn't have a place to go or people to stay with... I hardly had any friends, and my family didn't like me. Some people were just made to be eternally alone, and I didn't mind being one. People were ofter afraid of being left alone, but what was there to be afraid of? As long as people were aware of themselves, then they were never truly alone.
Sango smiled, "yeah, I'm sure that's it... that you're just tired. I'm a little tired myself." I sighed, "you didn't get any wounds from the battle, did you?" She shook her head, "nope, thanks to you." Oh how I hated to be praised, hated to be thanked. I could never stand it when people would show concern for me, or complement me, or anything of the sort; I just wasn't used to it. "Uuh... You're welcome," I said, slowly. I layed down in the grass, and looked up at the sky. It was a deep blue color, so pure that it looked unreal. Birds were flying through the air in large groups, flapping their wings in rythm. A slight breeze blew through the air, just enough to keep everyone cool from the hot sun. My mother would always love days like this, with perfect weather, a slight breeze, and birds. On days like this, she would take me out for long walks, packing a lunch so we wouldin't have to return home to eat. We would leave early in the morning and not return until the sun was setting; it was really fun. I missed times like those, times that I spent with her. Ever since she died, I felt that a part of my soul was missing... The best part of my soul. "Sooo..." Sango said, "now that Kyozame is gone, what do you suppose we'll do?" I kept my eyes staring up at the blue sky, "well, I have things that I have to take care of alone..." She sighed, "so you have to leave?" I nodded, "yes, but I'll come to visit you sometimes, okay? I promise." She smiled, "I'm glad... I'm glad that we met, and that we're friends, too. Everyone needs friends, you know, Inu Yasha." Friends... Kikyo had said that we were friends once; until I stole the Shikon no Tama from her. Then she said she was to kill me if I didn't return it. Friends could turn on you in the blink of an eye if you didn't watch out. People's emotions towards you could change in an instant... so it was best to value friendship while it lasted. Sessho Maru was my friend, Kikyo was my friend, my father was my friend; but they all turned on me, and now I had no friends. Except for Sango, who said that we were friends. "Yeah, I know. People would be lonely without friends."
(A.N) Okay, now Inu Chan has the Shikon no Tama! *hides under a blanket* Scaryyyy. Actually, Inu Yasha is pretty cute when he's full demon, in my opinion! Anyways, I'll try to post another chapter later today, okay? Thanks for reading and PLEASE REVIEW!
