A/N: Special thanks to inuyasha-girly-2007 and Bethany, your reviews
really motivated me to continue writing. Thanks also go to InuChick1424
and Mittens is my Kami-sama, thank you for the reviews.
I just thought I'd mention that I realized I made a mistake at the beginning of the last chapter, they were not driving to the church, but rather to the funeral home for the viewing, sorry about the mistake, and please tell me if you notice any others. *I'm too lazy to correct it in the actual story ^-^*
Chapter 9 Disclaimer: Sue me if you want, take my sister, take my brother, hell, take my parents for all I care. I still won't own Inu-yasha and, unfortunately, I never will. But, if it came down to Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru I would definitely choose Sesshy.
The ride to the church was short but Inu-yasha found comfort in the presence of Mrs. Higurashi and young Souta. *I honestly don't know what goes on in the limos during funeral processions so if this is way out there forgive me*
"Thank you, Inu-yasha, for riding with us."
"No, Mrs. Higurashi, thank you. You don't know how much this means to me."
~Church~
When they got to the church Inu-yasha helped Mrs. Higurashi and Souta out of the car and they walked in together with Mrs. Higurashi on his arm and Souta leading the way. They sat in the front pew, which was reserved for close family, the chief mourners.
The priest/preacher's eulogy was short, but direct and to the point. He basically said that Kagome was a sweet girl that everyone loved and that it was a pity for one to die so young.
Next thing he knew they were back in the limo and off to the cemetery where the casket would be lowered into the ground.
~Cemetery~
The next stop was the Cemetery where the very last words were to be said and then the casket would be lowered into the ground.
As the 'guests' were leaving, they all placed a rose on Kagome's casket and they would be buried along with their good wishes and last words.
The three were standing just next to the gaping hole that was to be Kagome's grave and Mrs. Higurashi laid a hand lovingly on the casket for a brief moment before it was lowered. Then, as if everything suddenly became real for her she burst into tears, not loud wracking sobs, but sweeter heartfelt tears that expressed a mother's grief in losing her oldest child. She leaned on Inu-yasha for support and held Souta close to her for comfort.
Inu-yasha tried to offer as much comfort as he could, but it was also becoming uncomfortably real to him, too. He wasn't ready to say good bye to Kagome, he had loved her dearly, and she him, and now because of one argument/misunderstanding he had to say good bye.
During all of this Souta never said a word to his mother or Inu-yasha, he hadn't even cried. He knew whose fault this was. It was Inu-yasha's and he would avenge his sister if it was the last thing he did. Silently to himself he made this promise to his sister.
A/N: Sorry it took so long to get this up but school started while I was in the middle of writing this chapter and since I'm in marching band and taking AP courses I've been really busy and I haven't been on the computer much. Anyways, please continue to review, your reviews mean a great deal to me and the more reviews I get, the more likely I am to keep writing.
Also, I'm debating whether or not I really want Souta to swear vengeance or whatever because I'm not sure how well I could write it and I think it might distract from what I'm going for in the rest of the story. So please tell me your opinions on this 'cause I don't know what I should do with it. Personally, I'm tempted to take it out.
