Hello again, my fellow internet-goers! Sorry I haven't been responding to
any of your reviews; I do have school, so.time is limited! Like I should be
reading in my biology book right now, but I forgot it.bad me. Oh
well.here're some responses to your reviews!
skittymct90: Thanks so much! It's nice to be appreciated!
dancing barefoot in my socks: Thank you for that too! And doesn't Kleenex rock? Nice to know my story's loved.
Ria4118: Thanks bunches, Ria. Can I call you Ria? I'll try.please don't hurt me.anyway, thanks for the constructive criticism. And by accident (or by my creepy subconscious, I'll never know) I used the word innuendo in my story! Creepy! Hehe and I'll have trouble incorporating any laughter into my story.to do so might be considered morbidly evil.
I appreciate all of my 3 reviews! It means so much to my sad self! And right now Shake Yo Tailfeathers is on so I gotta dance hang on.all right, I got my dancing out of my system so I can sit back down and type! I really do like to think other people are reading my story but aren't reviewing (glares evilly at anonymous readers) bwa haha I'm "special".
What, is no one going to compete in my Kleenex competition? WILL NO ONE BE MENTIONED? Does anyone care? (Me: sad! Me: are you talking to yourself again? Me: so what if I am? Me: quit it, it's weird. Me: quit telling me what to do. Me: I AM you. Me: shuddup, shuddup, it's not true! Me: that special moment was brought to you by a sugar high!)
Now, everyone know what a chocobo is? I was riding one today.fun fun times ten. Anyway, I've decided that since I'll be updating sporadically, you might not remember what happened (are you THAT senile? Jk, don't hurt me, I get hit enough in volleyball.) so I'll remind you. KAGOME IS DEAD AND INUYASHA IS HEARTBROKEN. NARAKU IS OFF SOMEWHERE AND KIKYO IS A LITTLE NUTTER (like Houji in Rurouni Kenshin! Has anyone seen the last fight w/ Shishio besides me?). SANGO, MIROKU AND SHIPPO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAS HAPPENED. BUYO IS OFF DOING KITTY THINGS. Now to resume the story! When you're sad, laugh! Unless you're in a funeral.then do whatever comes naturally (not toilet things, please).
NOTE: thoughts will now be in single quotation marks because italics won't appear in my story (depressing, non?) and that makes me mad.
*PEOPLE, THE CHARACTERS ARE OOC. HOW MANY TIMES MUST I INFORM YOU?*

Chapter 3: Desperation
Inuyasha and Kagome had been gone for a while. Neither Sango, Miroku nor Shippo knew what was taking so long. However, Miroku knew how to pass the time.
Miroku looked off in between the trees. "Oh, Shippo, I see them! Look, go greet them!" He said in a fake-excited voice. Shippo smiled excitedly and ran off. Miroku took this to full advantage. He reached out to grope Sango, and in reward was knocked off his log perch by the gigantic boomerang. "Oro." he wailed.
Shippo came skipping sadly back. "What am I supposed to see?" he asked dejectedly. Sango looked at Miroku lying on the forest floor then said "You should see a sad man at the end of his rope." Shaking her head, she scanned the woods for any sign of activity.
"I see them! Guys, I see them! Look!" Miroku, now returned to his sitting position, pointed excitedly at the foggy shadows in between the trees. Sango sighed, wondering how many times in a row he was planning to pull this joke.
"Houshi, will you stop trying to kid around? I want to know when they actually get here, so you're not helping." Sango kept scanning the woods. Then she saw the faint outline with long hair and pointed ears carrying something. The thing being carried didn't seem to be moving, which was never a good sign (actually, depends on the scenario). The figure moved with a slowness in his step, as if it no longer had the will to live. As it approached, Sango realized that something was wrong.
"What happened, Inuyasha? Why are you carrying Kagome?" Shippo asked, trying desperately to get a reaction from Kagome by madly jumping around. However, she didn't move. Shippo stopped hopping and stared at the underside of Kagome, unable to see her topside. Apparently, Sango and Miroku could, because their eyes had bulged in shock and they were grabbing each other's arms for support, which they never did.
"Inuyasha, is Kagome even." Miroku let the question dangle. Inuyasha hadn't moved his drooped head the whole time, and now it sank even lower so no one could see his face. Miroku decided that that was the answer to his question and promptly sank into the damp forest floor. Sango went down with him a few seconds later and they both stared ahead at nothing, too shocked to even cry. Shippo, however, began bawling.
"KAGOME! KAGOME, WAKE UP! I WANT KAGOME! WAAH!" he howled into the soundless twilight. The howl echoed deep into the forest, disturbing some birds from their evening perches. The ground had cooled, the sun was setting and the night creatures had begun to wake up. But none of this registered into the group's minds. All they cared about was that Kagome was gone.
"Inuyasha.you can let go of Kagome now. The least we can do is give her a proper burial." Her voice cracking, she buried her head into Miroku's left shoulder, allowing him to wrap his arms around her in comfort. Inuyasha had no such luxury, just as Shippo didn't.
His head jerked up, and you could see the tear streaks running down his damp face (it had been raining last time we checked.) A fresh army of tears marched their way down his face and dropped onto his red shirt (kind of shirt) as he said, "Sango, I can't. That would be giving up all hope. There has to be something we can do; anything would be better.. Just give me time and I'll think of something."
Shippo had never seen Inuyasha cry, so the new emotion Inuyasha was showing alarmed him. "Inuyasha, the only thing you can do is.tell us what happened. We have to know," he wailed, tears tapering as he prepared to listen to what had happened.
After he had told them what had happened, Inuyasha's face had changed with hatred and anger. "I'm going to kill that little son of a bitch. I swear that-"
Miroku interrupted, "Inuyasha, your sword won't revive Kagome. Your sword will not help, so quit trying to use it." He sighed tiredly and closed his eyes. Inuyasha stared at the leaves littering the ground in realization. He slowly looked up at Miroku.
"You're right, I can't use my sword to fix this. But Sesshomaru can-with his Tenseiga. He can bring Kagome back to life." Inuyasha shifted Kagome in his arms and began to walk toward Sesshomaru's lands (somewhere west, I don't know where exactly.)
"Inuyasha, what do you plan to barter to get him to do such a thing?" asked Miroku, glancing up as Inuyasha's footsteps crunched through the trees.
"I'll think of something to get him to do revive Kagome," said Inuyasha. The rest of the group collected their items dejectedly and traipsed after him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sesshomaru was not one to venture outside much, so the morning's walk in the garden with Rin was unexpected. "Rin, why don't you walk with Jakken instead of me? He would love to be outside with you, and I have things to do." He made as if to go back inside, but Rin's voice stopped him.
"Rin wants Daddy Sesshy (does she call him this? Oh well) to pick flowers with Rin! Jakken smells; Jakken needs to stay inside so he won't ruin lovely air." Rin skipped ahead, black hair trailing down her outfit. Jakken sighed at this remark, then continued his march behind Lord Sesshomaru (voted sexiest demon alive by 8/10 fingers!)
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes internally and kept walking slowly. Pausing briefly, he inhaled the wind blowing in his face. 'Do I smell.the scent of Inuyasha, blood, humans and a cat demon? Of course.the motley crew of outcasts has decided to attack my home. Well, I will give them no such pleasure. Stupid humanesque (not an actual word, but hey, it fits) dog.. His life ends here; and his meaningless existence with it (adapted quote from Seymour, voted most repulsive Guado "alive" 19 times in a row *erlack, he's sickening; a rival to Naraku, even*)!'
Sesshomaru took off running, abandoning Rin with Jakken at her side. "Daddy Sesshy?" Rin questioned, then turned her curious gaze to Jakken. "Rin's gonna have fun with Toady." Rin trailed off, an evil glint catching in her eye.
"Oh no.LORD SESSHOMARU! RIN'S GOING TO HURT ME! AAAAAHHH!" Jakken shrieked unmanly as he raced away from his pursuer. Sesshomaru ignored Jakken, however, and arrived at the boundary of his Western Lands.
Panting lightly, Sesshomaru waited for Inuyasha to show himself on the flat plains leading into the Western Lands. He didn't have long to wait, though; almost a minute after Sesshomaru was stationed, Inuyasha appeared, the rest of his pack in tow.
"Well well, dear relation, what brings you to show your mixed face on my lands?" Sesshomaru asked coolly. Inuyasha raised his head slowly, as if it weighed 70 pounds more than it should. He met Sesshomaru's stare with anger and sorrow, an unusual combination for the pup. Magically aware of Kagome's lifeless presence in Inuyasha's arms, Sesshy continued, "Oh, I see. There's the new love of your life. And she's dead as well? You just seem to have a curse, don't you? Next thing you know HER reincarnation will fall down a well and then you'll fall in love with her."
Inuyasha grimaced painfully and hugged Kagome closer to his chest. "I didn't come here to be insulted, Sesshomaru. I came to ask you something, and you have no idea how hard it is to do so," he snarled out.
"Really? What is it?" He seemed interested, which meant his voice rose a fraction of a pitch.
"As you know, Kagome is-gone, and I-we wanted you to hopefully revive her with Tenseiga."
"And what would I get out of this exchange?"
"Our undying gratitude?" Miroku offered. Sesshomaru's icy glare silenced him from further comment, though. Poor Miroku; he tries so hard to make everything okay.
"Of course, human. Your 'undying gratitude' would leave me well off in the demonesque (okay, quit making up words with "esque" on the end!) world. How about we try this again; what would I get out of this exchange?" He paused for an answer. When all he received were the drooped heads of the comrades, he turned to head towards his castle. "So sorry, then, I suppose I can't help you," he said over his shoulder as he walked away.
"I'LL GIVE YOU TETSUSAIGA!" Inuyasha screamed at him. His outburst echoed across the empty plains. He said again, voice under control, "I'll give you Tetsusaiga in exchange for Kagome's life." He stood panting, waiting. Miroku, Sango and Shippo stared at him, confuddled (hey dancing barefoot, guess who's word that is).
Sesshomaru turned around slowly then said with a devious, sexy smile, "I think something can be arranged, then."
