A/n *sniff* You make me so happy!!! Ok I got some stuff to say to some of
my reviewers,
Kaylana: It's ok, you still reviewed right? ^^
Pinky-cat: I can't read your mind but you'll find out if Inuyasha would do "that" in this chapter.
Kalira of the Flames: I guess my mommy was right about my fight scenes, it all comes down to how much you read about that stuff. You'll find out about Sesso soon, I can't say what is what 'cause that'll ruin my story. May I ask what you're thanking me about 'cause I don't remember doing anything, sorry my brain doesn't have the best memory skills!
Johanna Gen: It's all right, it's not like you could tell when I had updated. Is there a way I can make the story easier for you to understand? If you find anything confusing in the story in particular you can tell me and I'll explain it the best I can without spoiling the story!
Lasako: Hello again ^_^! Thanks but I'm happy that I get any reviews at all! My other story isn't doing nearly as well *hint*hint*nudge*nudge*. I'll give you a little secret, more cliffhangers means that people have a bigger reason to come back right? The more you draw them into the story and leave them wanting more the bigger chance they'll come again! Anyway Shelby is an Australian Shepherd and he is adorable, especially when he gets all that heavy fur trimmed for the summer! Interesting, I wonder as well..
Again I thank you good people! Now if only I got this many reviews for my other story..in a week I get to visit my aunt and uncle for a month! Don't worry I get a computer in the room I'm staying in. All right time for the worst part of writing!
Disclaimer: (who guessed right? Be truthful now!) I don't own him k? I'm also running out of humor so these can't be too funny until I refill. Enjoy already weehee!
Chapter five, Dig a Little Deeper
Kagome turned her head slowly and looked at the owner of the sharp item. Naraku was growling at her while holding a knife to her back.
"Let go of him, he isn't ready for human contact! If you hold him any longer you'll harm him!" Naraku growled in her ear. Kagome quickly pulled away from Inuyasha to look at his pale form.
"W-what?" Kagome asked. "All I did was hug him 'cause I was worried about him."
"I've been hiding him from affection all his life so he's frightened by the smallest amount of it." Naraku stated waving a hand in Inuyasha's face. "Inuyasha the girl is off you, you're ok now."
"What was she doing?" Inuyasha asked quietly.
"Something very bad! If I didn't save you then she could have hurt you." Naraku answered glaring at Kagome. Inuyasha threw a weak glare at Kagome.
"I thought I could trust you Kagome, but you tried to hurt me Naraku says. I don't want to see you ever again!" Inuyasha growled scooting away from the surprised girl.
"B-but a hug doesn't hurt! It means you like a person!" Kagome yelled desperately. "I wouldn't hurt you Inuyasha!"
"The girl lies! I would have told you sooner Inuyasha but all girls are worthless scum just put on this planet to lure us into pain and more hatred. Come, join me and we'll stop this war by winning." Naraku held out a hand to Inuyasha.
"No Inuyasha don't listen to him! You're my friend and I wouldn't want to hurt you, I came here to save you." Kagome said weakly feeling her eyes grow hot with unshed tears. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and then at Naraku. Then he pushed past Kagome and opened the door to walk out.
"I won't take orders from anyone, I shall find out what is good and bad in the world by myself." Inuyasha stated without looking back at them. "Don't try to follow me, or I'll hurt you."
"Inuyasha! I don't want you to get hurt, stay with me." Naraku said desperately. Inuyasha just walked out the door and shut it quietly behind him.
"How could you." Kagome said barely audible to human ears.
"Hmm, the boy seems a lot like me.." Naraku pondered, paying no attention to the girl in the room.
"How could you lie so easily to such an innocent person!" Kagome screamed before running towards the door.
"I wouldn't go after him, Kagome, I believe your name is. Even if he doesn't believe my word over yours he will stay true to his threats the best he can." Naraku said simply pulling a small tattered book from his desk.
"So Sango, why'd you bother to save us, or at least Kag, Inu, and Shippo?" Miroku asked messaging a bump on his head.
"I'm the head of the police department, or used to be." Sango said plainly eyeing Miroku's hands. "I think they kicked me off the team 'cause I wouldn't use a gun like the rest of them."
"What a pity, I've never touched a gun in my life. Though most of that is because I lived in a Monastery where magic still works." Miroku shot a grin in Sango's direction and dodged a small rock she threw at him.
"Do you think Kagome's going to be alright in there alone?" Shippo asked popping up out of no where.
"Why you asking us? You know her better then we do." Miroku stated playing with his staff.
"I guess you're right. Ooh look there's Inuyasha coming out of the wagon thing!" Shippo cried happily waving to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at them then began to walk in the opposite direction. Miroku's eyes widened and he ran over to Inuyasha.
"Something's wrong time for a talk buddy." Miroku stated quickly, catching up to his friend.
"I had an encounter with the man who killed my family. He got me confused and told me how girls are really actually evil. I don't know who or what to believe." Inuyasha stated without looking at his friend.
"I can understand Inuyasha but if he killed your parents why should you trust him?" Miroku's normally cheerful face had seriousness written all over.
"Well, he also saved me from a pack of demons when I was too small to understand what danger was." Inuyasha shrugged. "I just don't understand how a man who killed my parents, can make me feel like killing him and worshipping him at the same time. I hate him, but I like him. I don't know."
Miroku nodded and looked at the ground. He couldn't help his friend much now.
"I want to go to one of the big cities Miroku, before I die." Inuyasha said out of the blue. "I know that getting that item and trying to kill Naraku might be futile so I want to do everything I never got to do in the Monastery before the new moon." Inuyasha forced a weak smile.
"Alright, we can go to a big city. Though maybe not in this lifetime. The new moon is in a couple days and the nearest city is a long way away." Miroku said quietly.
"Miroku, I wanna use a computer and talk on a telephone and watch TV. I wanna live before I die, I've been so 'protected' that I haven't gotten to do anything that I want." Inuyasha stated looking at his friend with big eyes.
"Where are we going to get the money to buy the stuff Inuyasha?" Miroku asked warily. Inuyasha's shoulders slumped and his eyes dropped to the ground.
"I don't know, I just thought that maybe we could at least try and enjoy life while we have it." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Let's go back with the others. Maybe they can help us." Miroku said laying a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I don't know Miroku. I don't think I can go back. Can you tell me what a hug is?" Inuyasha asked fumbling with the hem of his hoari like he did when he was a child. Miroku looked at him funny for a moment.
"A hug? That's easy, it's a friendly gesture! It could mean hello, or goodbye, or it could mean someone's trying to comfort you. Nice things like that is what a hug is, why do you ask?" Miroku said with some pride in his voice.
"Well Naraku said that when Kagome was hugging me that she was trying to hurt me." Inuyasha mumbled, blushing a bit.
"Well did the hug hurt?" Miroku asked with a growing smile.
"I was shocked, no one every touched me before. They always made me crawl when I wanted to be picked up or they used a whip for punishment. Whenever I did something right they just smiled and went onto the next thing. I don't remember what my parents did so I thought that any kind of contact between a human hurt since the only contact I had was slaps or bad things when I did something wrong." Inuyasha explained staring at the grin on Miroku's face.
"That's sad, there is nice things in the world, like when I put my hand on your shoulder to comfort you." Miroku said putting his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder to demonstrate.
"I guess I never thought of that. Naraku had said something about trying to keep me away from human contact." Inuyasha shrugged and looked back at the wagon.
"Well see, Naraku isn't a good guy! Keeping you away from nice friendly stuff like that is inhuman!" Miroku cried and smiled at his friend again.
"Miroku, if what you say about hugs is true then I just made one big bad mistake." Inuyasha whispered.
"What's that?" Miroku asked looking at the wagon.
"I just told off Kagome 'cause I thought that Naraku was right since I've listened to him all this time. I told her we weren't friends anymore." Inuyasha gulped. "I also left her in there with Naraku." Miroku gasped and both of them ran back towards the wagon.
The two boys burst in to find Kagome and Naraku on two separate sides of the wagon sipping tea.
"Kagome! I'm so sorry I didn't know that Naraku was lying and I just got carried away please forgive me!" Inuyasha yelled taking Kagome's hands in his.
"Inuyasha? I thought you didn't like me anymore." Kagome said placing the tea next to her.
"I had a talk with Miroku and he told me that you weren't trying to hurt me and now I'm really sorry that I ever doubted you though I did only just meet you but you aren't the kind of person to lie." Inuyasha breathed heavily, how the heck did Shippo say so much in one breath without getting tired? "Did Naraku do anything to you?" Inuyasha asked, shooting a glare at Naraku.
"No I didn't Inuyasha. For she plays a part in my plan as well as you. For a human she has great power, so together you, her, and I could do great things. I merely asked her to join me as I did you." Naraku said quietly as he sipped his tea.
"You may have saved me Naraku, but you are still evil." Inuyasha said, just as quietly.
"Is that what you think, or is that the opinion of another? Does wanting power so much as to not being afraid of what you have to do make you evil? Does wishing to only have the power just to know it is there make you evil? Then I believe you yourself, Inuyasha, are evil as well." Naraku countered finishing the tea in his cup.
"What are you talking about?" Miroku shouted, looking at his friend then back at Naraku.
"Inuyasha's one desire is to become full demon like his brother, because he wants to be like his brother and always has. All he would gain from becoming full demon is more power. I want power, he wants power. If I'm considered evil then he's considered evil." Naraku smiled evilly as he poured himself another cup of tea.
"I'm not evil!" Inuyasha yelled, stamping his foot on the ground. "Wanting to be like your brother doesn't make you evil!" Naraku laughed.
"Then neither does wanting the power of those more powerful then you."
"It does if you kill people to gain it." Inuyasha mumbled huffily.
"Inuyasha, if you join me I'll make you full demon." Naraku whispered so that only Inuyasha could hear it.
"W-what?" Inuyasha said quietly.
"Yes, think of the power, think of all the people screaming and running because you're so much more powerful. No one will be able to taunt you any longer." Naraku whispered again.
"Y-y.." Inuyasha began when the door slammed open and something ran into the room and cut off Naraku's head. Inuyasha shook his head and looked at the figure. "You killed him?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, it's only a puppet." The figure turned around and Inuyasha gasped. "Hello, Inuyasha."
