Chapter 3
The Decision
Inuyasha watched Sesshoumaru, and sighed, looking at Kagome one last time. And stepped back, gripping onto the Tetsusaiga. Sesshoumaru watched his little half-breed brother, and chuckled, not being able to hold it in. "Oh yes! How did I know you'd pick the Tetsusaiga! Ahahahaha!" he looked at his brother with a slight smirk then went back to the blank expression. "Oh well. It was your choice brother. But believe me. You will regret doing this." Then with those last words he jumped back and into a tree disappearing in the dark forest. Inuyasha fell to his knees, clutching his face, not believing what he had just done. He felt as if again he had been shot in the chest with Kikyo's arrow again. It hurt like hell. Why did he do this?! And he didn't even know what Sesshoumaru would do to Kagome. Suddenly the sun light shined through the trees, lighting up the forest, and shined on Inuyasha, transforming him back into a half demon, his long black hair going back into snow colored hair, his skin complexion going alittle more pale, and his eyes went to the cat colored eyes instead of his human brown ones. Two cute little dog-ears grew on top of his head, as his claws on his toes and fingers grew out. He shook his head still not believing what had just happened. What would he tell the others? Oh I kinda bumped into Sesshoumaru, and I had to make a deal either taking Kagome or the Tetsusaiga. So I took the sword! He growled and spat onto the ground. Before standing up straight, but stared at the ground still. "Why did I do this? How could I have been so. so stupid? Now Kagome's gone." He lowered his head in shame, but started back towards camp, now being able to find his way, following the scent of ashes, and Sango along with the other's scent, but couldn't find a trace of Kagome's or Sesshoumaru's scent. He looked around, remaining silent for the time till he got to the camp sight, looking at the others. Miroku was still asleep, as well as Sango, but Shippou was up and energetic. He smiled happily at Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha! You're up earlier! Have you seen Kagome?!" he asked ever so cheerfully. Inuyasha looked at Shippou his eyes filled with shame and pain, and looked away quickly not answering, as he sat down on top of a large rock. Shippou not noticing asked again. "Hello! Inuyasha! Did ya hear me!!?" Inuyasha remained silent, closing his eyes and pulled his knees to his chest, resting his head on his knees. Shippou blinked now noticing that Inuyasha was in deep pain, and ran over to Miroku and Sango, shaking them away. "Sango! Miroku! Wake up! Something's wrong with Inuyasha!" Miroku groaned and rolled over. "Who cares." Sango sat up and looked at Shippou. "Whats wrong with him?" she asked sleepily. Shippou pointed over to Inuyasha. "Look!" Sango looked over and frowned. "Inuyasha?" she asked. Inuyasha didn't respond. Miroku suddenly sat up and looked around. "Oh no something's wrong if he didn't answer." He saw Inuyasha sitting on the rock and blinked, before standing, pulling on his monk suit and walked over to him. "Inuyasha? What is the matter?" he asked, as if sounding as if he cared. Which he really did care; as he placed a warm hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "Tell us my friend." Inuyasha growled and shook the hand off his shoulder and glared at Miroku. "Leave me alone. You don't care. And don't call me your friend." He said and turned back into the direction he was facing. Miroku frowned at Inuyasha and said. "Fine act that way then. Sue me for actually caring, Inuyasha." He spat on the ground. Sango sighed and walked over to Inuyasha already dressed. "Inuyasha. What's the problem? And where is Kagome?" Inuyasha looked at the ground closing his eyes. "She's. She's not coming back." He said. Myouga hopped over to Inuyasha and onto his shoulder, as everyone else gasped. "What do you mean master? That Lady Kagome isn't coming back?" Inuyasha frowned to himself, not bothering to look at the others. "Just that. She isn't coming back."
Miroku, Shippou, and Sango all looked at Inuyasha. "Yes Inuyasha. We understand that. But why isn't she coming back? Did she return home?" ". No." he replied simply. "Then why?" asked Sango. Inuyasha looked back at the others, a single tear escaping from his right eye. "I . bumped into Sesshoumaru." They all gasped. Shippou sniffed and crawled onto Inuyasha's lap. "He didn't! HE KILLED HER DIDN'T HE! DON'T WORRY INUYASHA! HE'LL PAY!! WE'LL GET HIM!!! RIGHT GUYS!!!" asked Shippou looking back at the other two. They nodded. Inuyasha shook his head. "No he didn't kill her at least, not yet." Miroku arched an eyebrow. "What do you mean not yet?" Inuyasha took a deep breath. ". Kagome and I were lost in the woods last night, and we heard these noises, and this monster took Kagome away, but I couldn't do anything because of the damn Moon! So I was human, and when I ran after it I found the monster dead; face down in the stream. After that, Sesshoumaru came out of no where with Kagome in his arms, and wanted to make a deal and-" "He wanted the Tetsusaiga in exchange for Kagome?" asked Miroku. Inuyasha nodded slowly. "Yes." Sango frowned. "So you choose the Tetsusaiga." Inuyasha looked away, in shame. "Yes you should be ashamed Inuyasha, you know why?" asked Sango. ".Why?" He asked. "Because you gave over the girl who cared for you the most for a stupid sword. We care for you of course, but not as much as she did!" shouted Sango in anger. "She loved you." Said Miroku. "And you traded her for a sword." Spat Sango. Inuyasha looked at the two. "How pathetic." Said Shippou.
Inuyasha watched them, as they all began to slowly move, and fading. He frowned watching as they did throwing insults about how pathetic and stupid he was. "Whats happening to you guys!?" he yelled. Their voices soon began to combine into one, and his surrounding soon began to go black, the three all soon faded together combining into a black figure, a hood over their face. The black cloaked, was covered in diamonds, but due to the black surrounding he seemed to be apart of it and the diamonds looked as if they were stars, but only in that one place. The figure raised a hand, their hand as pale as death, clear nails on each finger, and one pointed at Inuyasha. Inuyasha gawked, as the rock he sat on seemed to have disappeared, now he seemed to be sitting only on air, but watched the figure. "W-Who are you?" he asked with a growl and grabbed the handle of the Tetsusaiga. The figure continued to point at him. "It is not important to know who I am. But it is important to know who you are." Inuyasha frowned. 'What are you talking about!? I know who I am!" "Not the real you, half breed. This problem will haunt you; the pain will strike you; like a thousand stabbing knives. Your breath will be getting shorter, and you know you won't survive. You'll be lying in your own blood, not knowing what to do, there is only one way out, only one thing to solve, or you could always just ignore this issue and forget the one you know true. But remember only this, this problem will always haunt you." And with that, the figure burst into a crew of crows and flew off in different directions, the dark surroundings soon faded and went back to normal. Inuyasha gasped and looked around to see Shippou, Miroku and Sango still standing there watching him. "Inuyasha!? Whats wrong!?" shouted Miroku watching him with concern. Inuyasha looked at him and blinked a few times. "What?"
"Shippou said something was wrong. Are you alright?" Inuyasha looked around then looked at Miroku and shook his head. "No its nothing. Nothing. Just forget it. Okay?"
Sango looked at Inuyasha then around. "Where's Kagome?"
