Love of Sorrow
Part 8
"He wants you to come with him?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded.
"How long?" Kikyou asked.
"Four days." Kagome responded. " near by city he wants to go to."
"When?" Keade asked.
"By Friday." Kagome responded. "And today's Wednesday."
"Have you said yes or no?" the three girls asked.
"I haven't said either. I've been avoiding him." The four girls sat in a restarunt eating lunch. Kikyou sipped on her soda in deep concentration.
"I'd say go." she said. Sango nodded and gave Kagome a sly look.
"It could romantic get-away." she said. Kagome's face flushed.
"Were just friends." Kagome said.
"Don't mind Sango Kagome." Kikyou said. "She's only teasing..right?" She elbowed Sango.
"Yeah, I'm teasing." Sango said rubbing her arm.
"Kagome do what you want to do. If you want to go, go. If you don't, stay." Kikyou said. Kagome sighed.
"But if I said no, he'd probably be hurt." she said. "I can't do that to Miroku." Sango placed some bills on the table and the four made their way outside.
"Why don't we go to my place and see what are the pros and cons of this situation." Kikyou said. The others agreed and they headed to Kikyou's.
"I can't think of anything." Sango said. Keade sighed.
"There really is nothing bad about this." she said. Kikyou came downstairs, she was carrying a bag. She dropped at the foot of the staircase.
"Kagome, let me ask you this. Have you ever gone anywhere with Miroku...alone, ever since you two broke up in high school?"
"No." Kagome said.
"Then you two actually learn a little bit more about each other. Spending four days with Miroku doesn't sound that bad at all. And maybe, just maybe, you might enjoy yourself." Sango said. "Kagome, you know as well as I do that Miroku likes you, and if I'm right, you like him." Kagome blushed again and the girls laughed.
Kikyou made her way towards the laundry room. She turned the doorknob, but it was locked. Her eyes narrowed with annoyance.
"Sesshoumaru get out of there!" she exclaimed. The door opened and Sesshoumaru head popped out. He looked at Kikyou.
"Sorry, but we're having a meeting right now. Come back later." he said.
"We. What do mean we?" she asked.
"Me, Inuyasha, and me." Sesshoumaru responded.
"Besides, you have to know the password."
"What password?! Sesshoumaru let me in right now!" Kikyou said. Sesshoumaru stared at her for a moment before slamming the door in her face. Loud banging could be heard from outside.
"Open this door!" Kikyou yelled. Soon later the banging stop and Kikyou gave up. Sesshoumaru sighed and turned around to others.
"Now about what I was saying." Sesshoumaru began taking a seat on the dryer. "Miroku's going on a boating trip and asked Ojousan to come with him." The others began to get intrested.
"How long?" Inuyasha asked.
"Four days. He wants to go to some city. He's leaving Friday. That means Kagome's got two days." Sesshoumaru responded. "I think she'll go."
"I think she'll stay." Sesshoumaru said.
"What do you think Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I don't know." Inuyasha responded. "We'll just have to wait and see."
The next day had quickly come and Kagome still hadn't made up her mind. It was frustrating. But what
she couldn't figure out was, what was holding her back from going?
"Last day. Decide." she thought as she walked down the street. She hadn't been watching where she
was going and bumped into someone. She looked up to see Inuyasha eyes. She smiled.
"This is the second time that's happened." she said. Inuyasha slightly smiled.
"I know." he said. "I heard about the boating trip." Sesshoumaru's smile flatened slightly.
"Oh," she said. "I might not go."
"Why?" Inuyasha asked.
"To tell you the truth, I really don't know." Kagome responded.
"Then what's holding you back?" Inyasha asked.
"That's the same thing I asked myself." Kagome said. She looked back up at him. "Do you think I should go Inuyasha?" Inuyasha was quiet.
"What would you do if you were me?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha sighed.
"Inuyasha it's not my decision, it's yours. The only one that's holding you back is you." he said. His voice
had suddenly gotten sharper at the last part of what he said. Inuyasha began to walk away. "I have to get going." Kagome watched as he left but quickly got in front of him. Inuyasha stopped. Kagome looked up at him.
"Inuyasha...no it's you who's holding me back." she said. "You don't want me to go, do you?" Inuyasha kept
silent. "Tell me if you want me to go or not?"
"I don't care!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "How is what I'm going to say going change anything?! Just go with Miroku Kagome!" He beagn to walk away not wanting to look back. Kagome watched him walk away until he was out of sight.
"So you don't think she's coming with you?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"No." Miroku responded. "It's Friday. She would have told me sooner." The two were loading the last
stuff Miroku needed onto the boat. He was leaving early that evening. Sesshoumaru sighed.
"Women are just that way sometimes." he said.
"I heard that." The two looked up to see Kikyou walking towards them. "Sesshoumaru I know your not talking about your Kikyou that way?"
"No of course not babe." Sesshoumaru responded with a lopsided grin. Kikyou smiled and turned to Miroku.
"Hey Miroku, could you get me a souviner?" she asked.
"Sure." Miroku responded loading another box on the ship. Kikyou suddenly frowned. Miroku surprisingly
looked unhappy, but tried hard not to show it.
"Kagome, can't you decide?" she thought.
"Can't I decide?" Kagome thought as plopped down on her bed. Today was the final day. Kagome had spent the whole week just making this decision. She sighed.
"I know what I'm going to do." she said.
"What time is it?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"It's..." Kikyou glanced at her watch. "3:55pm."
"Two more hours." Sesshoumaru said. "She's not coming." He frowned. Kikyou looked up at Miroku. He had finished
loading the last stuff. She smiled.
"Look on the bright side, you have all the food to yourself Miroku." she said. Miroku gave her a look.
"And if you don't want it. I'd be glad to take it off of your hands." Sesshoumaru said. Both Kikyou and Miroku rolled
their eyes and Kikyou smacked his shoulder.
"What?! What I say?!" he exclaimed.
"I made my choice." Kagome said over the phone.
"Finally Kagome." Sango said.
"But can you do me a favor?" Kagome asked.
"What?" Sango asked. Kagome smiled.
"See me off." she responded.
"Right. I'll be at dock." With that two hung up. Kagome grabbed her duffle bag and left her apartment.
"Hey Inuyasha!" Sesshoumaru exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" Inuyasha blinked.
"Where's Sango? She told me to meet her here." he said.
"Your not the only one." The three looked up to see Kaede coming towards them. "Sango told me to come to the dock. Now where's Sango?"
"Right here." The all looked to see Sango coming towards them. She walked past them and to Miroku. She
smiled.
"Kagome wanted us...to see her off." she said.
"You mean she coming?" Sesshoumaru asked and Sango nodded.
"Miroku!" Everyone tunred around for the third time to see Kagome running towards them. She ran up to
Miroku. She smiled.
"I'm sorry I'm late." she said. "I want to come with you."
"I knew she wanted to go with him." whispered Kikyou to Kaede and Kaede nodded. A small smile
appeared on Miroku's lips as he extended his hand towards Kagome. Kagome's smile widended and without
a word she put her hand in his.
"Don't forget to bring us back a souviner!" Sesshoumaru called as the boat set sail.
"Bye Kagome!" Kikyou yelled.
"Bye!" Kagome called back.
"I'm going to have a great time." she thought.
"I'm not having a great time." Kagome mumbled.
"Why?" Miroku asked. Kagome glanced out the window. The two were below deck. When they had left, it
had seemed that it would be a clear night. But it was the complete opposite. First it was rain, then the
wind, and last and loudest, thunder. They were both in the bedroom, watching the storm.
"There's a thunderstorm outside, and I absolutley hate.." Kagome was cut off when a very loud blot of thunder broke from the sky. She screamed and grabbed Miroku's arm. Miroku looked down at her and began to laugh. Kagome blushed and looked up at him.
"Why are you laughing?!" she exclaimed. Miroku continued to laugh.
"Your scared." he said.
"I am not!" Kagome said. Miroku stopped laughing. He made his way towards the bed and sat down. He
kept his eyes on Kagome and finally spoke.
"Are you afraid?" Kagome was silent for a moment beofre answering.
"I've always been afraid. Ever since I was 6."
"What you do about it?" Miroku asked. Kagome sighed and made her way towards the bed. Her nightgown
swishing back and forth, lightly hitting her ankles. She sat down next to Heero. She looked at him for a
moment before she began.
"One night there was a thunderstorm and I had been too afraid to go to sleep. My mother had tried
everything to get me to sleep. So finally, when it seemed hopeless, she did one last thing." Kagome stopped and looked up at Miroku to see his expression was serious and he was listening attentively.
"She climbed into my bed, wrapped her arms around me and stayed with me until I fell asleep. Each time
there was a thunderstorm, she'd always do that." Kagome smiled.
"I always looked forward to it." Her smile dissapeared. "But...when I was 16, she died. That night after her burial, there was a thunderstorm. But someone came, someone I least expected." She turned towards Miroku. "You. What was so strange was, that you did exactly the same thing my Mom did. I was in the living room, crying. You walked over towards me, and wrapped your arms around me."
The two were quiet for a long while.
Abruptly Miroku's arms wrapped around Kagome's waist and he brought her closer towards him. Kagome
looked up at him to see his face was unreadable. She couldn't tell what he was thinking. He stared at
Kagome, and as each minute passed Kagome got more anxious.
"Are you.." Miroku began. "Still afraid?" Kagome nodded slowly and before she knew Miroku had layed down
on the bed bringing her along with him. He wrapped the blankets around them, still keeping his arms
around Kagome's waist. Kagome placed her head on his chest. She could feel her eyelids get heavy. She hugged Miroku tightly.
"..In-yash.." she mumured before she fell asleep. Miroku looked down at her and softly kissed her forehead.
"Good-night Kagome." he said as he quickly fell asleep.
How was it? I'm sorry for those Inuyasha and Kagome fans, but I had to do this. I've been ignoring the Miroku and Kagome fans. Also I
