Chapter two- After the Battle
"N. Where am I?" Inu-Yasha asked, looking around at the scene before him.
"We're in Keade's hut. We brought you back here so that you could heal." Kagome explained.
"How long ago was that?" he questioned.
"Well, the fight was yesterday morning. And you blacked out after trying to sit up. I. I didn't know if you were going to be OK," Kagome answered, trying to hold back tears.
"Feh, there's no reason for tears. I'm alive, aren't I?" Inu-Yasha soothed, trying to calm her.
"That's true. But still, I was really worried about you," she retorted.
A long silence came between them, until Inu-Yasha broke it.
"Um, Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know why I can't see out my right eye?"
"Yeah, you got some pretty bad bee stings. Then just last night, I saw it swelling, and decided I better wrap it up."
"Oh. Do you think it's kind of ironic that Naraku always went for the right side?" He questioned.
"How so?"
"Well, take Miroku for instance. He has a wind-hole in his right hand. And Naraku's bees went for my right eye." Inu-Yasha explained.
"Not only that," Kagome added. "I also got a gash on my right arm," she told him, and pulled up her sleeve to show him her now bandaged upper arm.
"I'm sorry," Inu-Yasha whispered, hoping only he would hear. But to no luck.
"It's OK Inu-Yasha. It wasn't your fault. I was the one who shot that arrow into the swarm. But then again, if I hadn't."
"I would've gotten off worse," he finished.
Another long silence came over them. This time, Kagome spoke up.
"So, are you hungry?" she questioned him, hearing a loud rumble in response. "I think I'll take that as a yes," she giggled, and got up to fix him some ramen. Inu-Yasha simply nodded in response.
While Kagome was fixing him some food, Inu-Yasha lay on the floor of the hut, thinking about what he and Kagome had accomplished yesterday. They had defeated Naraku! But for some reason, he didn't feel like anything good actually happened. Sure, they had gotten what was left of the jewel shards, and didn't have to go hunting for them anymore. But still, there was just something wrong here.
"Inu-Yasha? Earth to Inu-Yasha?"
"Huh?" he questioned, snapping out of his trance.
"Your dinner's done and getting cold."
"Oh! Thank you," he answered, started to eat it, but not as hungrily as he often did. But he hadn't eaten much before he started to space out once more.
"Inu-Yasha, hello? Are you feeling all right?" she asked him, making him snap back to reality once more.
"Um, actually, I'm not hungry right now. You can have it," He quietly answered, pushing the bowl towards her.
"Inu-Yasha, I don't care what you may think or even say, you are definitely not yourself. There's got to be something that's bothering you. Isn't there?" she pointed out to him.
"Feh, there's nothing wrong with me. I. there's nothing wrong," he blurted, trying to cover up his mistake, but to no avail.
"Inu-Yasha, it's all right, you can tell me. Besides, it might make you feel better," Kagome told him, trying to get a good look into his eyes, as to maybe see what he was thinking.
"I just. I can't figure it out. . I know that this is probably a great joy for you and all. But. I just don't that way," he slowly, but surely told her.
"Inu-Yasha, I kind of feel the same way. It's like. something's missing. and it feels like."
"Our journey's not over yet," he finished. They looked at each other for a long time. Neither of them spoke, or even moved. It seemed like ages had passed, until Inu-Yasha suddenly stood up.
"Inu-Yasha? What's wrong?" Kagome questioned, standing up beside him.
"I smell demon. And it's close by," he answered, his keen nose sniffing the air.
"Are you sure? I mean, I can't sense anything."
"I'm sure, and it smells powerful,"he told her, taking another sniff, "Very powerful."
"What are we going to do?"
"The only thing we can do. Wait it out, and hope that it's only passing by."
~~~
'So, your still as keen as ever, are you? Well, you'll soon be needing every sense you've got, if you want to live. HAHAHA!' It thought, running towards the two inside their hut.
So, is that long enough? Cause it sure took a long time to write! Or. Um.. Type is what I meant! Yeah, that's it! So, Please! I beg of you! R&R! Thank you!As soon As I get the next review, I'll post the next chapter! Ja ne!
