Well…its been a while I know I know…. but this is the most busy time of the year for me and I Had to start typing the chapters on my lap top but it was broken and I couldn't get it fixed, then I had a serious case of writer's block and got all turned around (no blaming it the movie guys, even though it did eat at my mind and prevent me from thinking, um, Inu thoughts)…I could go on but I wont. Here is the next chap, if anyone even keeps up anymore .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome sat staring into the fading light of her bedroom window. She had been up there for hours. Kouga's words had startled her…but why should that be? They were true. She raked her fingers through her hair. Hearing the words said so bluntly forced her to come to grip many thoughts that hid from her mind. The truth was so harsh; she could not accept it. 'No, no…I have to say strong.' She closed her eyes 'he's going to come for me! He has to!' but she couldn't fight the images in her mind; his blood-soaked body lying on the ground. She shook the thoughts from her head.
When she couldn't take it anymore she decided to sleep all the pain away. She threw herself on her bed. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. Even though it was only around a normal suppertime, the exhaustion of her mind put her almost instantly asleep.
A few hours had passed and it was Sesshomaru's fifth time passing her door. He sensed that she was asleep and slipped silently through into her room. He walked to her bedside. She was still dressed in the silk blue kimono; she had not even bothered to get under the covers. A slight breeze passed through the window next to her bed and she shivered in her sleep. Sesshomaru sighed rolling his eyes. Wandering over to her closet he muttered about "stupid mortals". He returned to her with a spare blanket, which he gently spread over her sleeping form. He left the room shaking his head to himself.
No sooner had the door shut behind him, a small creature hopped into sight on Kagome's windowsill. He was no bigger then a small stone and looked like nothing more then a common flea. But he wore traveler's clothes and on his back was a sack from which protruded a shimmering shard of the sacred jewel.
The small demon was chuckling to himself after the scene he had just witnessed. "Well, the great Sesshomaru caring for a mortal like Lady Kagome, what has this world come to?" he set down the bundle and slowly extracted the shard that it carried. "And to think, you said I wasn't loyal. You don't know how hard it was for me to get up here..." Tucking the jewel under his arm, he sprang from the windowsill and hopped to the pillow on which the girl slept. "Lady Kagome, are you sleeping? It's just me, Myouga" The girl made no answer to the fleas small voice. But he just nodded to himself and glanced back down at the precious item he carried. The shimmering surface was a dazzling pink but in the depths were hints of what was unmistakably red. This cast a shiver up the small creature's spine. For he knew what the faint swirling lines of red were, and it made his old heart sick with grief. The jewel he held in his hand had been abandoned on the battlefield of Naraku. It had sat in the blood of Inu yasha himself for a full day, before being noticed by Miroku and Sango, who's unpleasant job was to burry their dear friend.
He moved his eyes past the jewel to young maiden who slumbered beside him. "Poor girl." His eyes softened. "How strange the human mind works. Able to save itself through lies and denial from emotions, that if not hidden, could eat it alive. But this lie can't go on, my Lady. You must realize…he's gone." She slept on. This was good. He spoke quietly, for he had no intention of waking her up. Now, he took the jewel in hand once more and moved closer to her. Careful as not to disturb her, he placed the shard beside her face, barely touching her skin. She did not stir. He looked at his work skeptically. "I sure hope this works, Kaede. For if it doesn't, Kagome doesn't have a prayer of getting past this…" He thought back to the aged priestess and her words of wisdom. Upon this blood-soaked jewel was placed a spell. Using the blood of the late demon boy and the power of the jewel that hung around Kagome's neck, Kaede was attempting to bring Kagome to the only person who could convince her of the truth.
Myouga was brought out of his thoughts by the twinkling light of the shard and the jewel. The spell was a success. He watched as the magic enveloped Kagome. As he backed away from her he bowed "My prayers are with you, Lady Kagome. I hope you find an answer…" He turned and bounded back to the windowsill. Then disappeared into the night.
