a/n: I just finished editing my previous chapters, so they're more detailed. I've added more about what the characters are thinking. I've decided to do this from reading over 4 fanfics that described more on the people's feelings and thoughts. I just thought I should mention it here so if you want to go read the chapters over, you can find a few new stuff in there, HeHe. The last chapter used to be 7 pages, but now after my revision it's 11 pages so you can see I did edit it a little :oP (My goofy face, like?)
Anyway, please read "Home Is Where The Hurt Is" by RougePryde, it's a really good story. It's really romantic and sad, that's why I love it so much! I'm glad my best friend told me about it, thanks Maria! *Blows kisses of gratitude* I read the story in one day (It's not done yet though) so that can show how much I love the story so far. It's not that long, but it is 24 chapters so far so you can read it if you want (I really do recommend it).
Not only read that story, read the others under my Favorite Stories list too please and tell them I sent you to their story (I want the credit *Laughs*). If you know a good story, tell me about it and I'll see if I can read it later (Don't worry, I'll say you send me there to give you the credit too, LoLz). Tell me about your stories too please (What it's about, summary or something) so maybe if I have time I can read it. Hey, it's not bad telling people about your stories (Like they're some of you who think it's being conceided or something), I tell people about mine all the time! ^.~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome placed Shippou down in her bed (Which is his and Inuyasha's bed too) and brought the blanket up to his neck. Sango was doing the same with Takara in the other side of the hut. Miroku knelt down next to Sango and placed Kirara over Takara's body which was now covered in a warm blanket. Slowly, they all stood up and walked outside to let them peacefully rest.
"Are they Ok?," asked Inuyasha when he spotted Kagome, Miroku, and Sango coming towards him. He noticed the depressed expressions on their faces and Inuyasha started to get worried. But when he saw Kagome's face, she half smiled for him showing there's nothing to worry about it.
"I gave Shippou and Kirara special herbs to get the demon's venon out," reassured Kagome. But her answer was so softly spoken that if Inuyasha didn't have his dog ears, he might of not heard her at all. Inuyasha could detect the remorse in her voice. Inside he was beating himself up, he hates seeing Kagome like this. He hates seeing his friend's so depressed. He hates seeing Takara, Kirara and Shippou injured and barely moving at all. "If only I got there sooner," thought Inuyasha as he growling within himself, "But thankfully I did get there in time or else ..... No, I have to stop thinking about this, they're Ok now. Everyone's Ok."
Inuyasha turned his head to look at Miroku when he heard him speaking. "Takara is resting, all cleaned up and healing. Thankfully that dreadful snake didn't poison her, just bit her," said Miroku with mixed feelings visible in his voice. No one needed to have Inuyasha's senses to know what those feelings were, all knew it was hatred and relief.
"What about the wound she had? It looked really bad ..........," asked Inuyasha sounding really concerned. Again, everyone around him noticed it. All of them knew Inuyasha pretty well. He would get pissed off and seem really mad so he never had to truly show his true emotions, but this time, he didn't try to cover it up. He showed his true emotions with his sadden expression and the tone of his voice. This showed he really was concerned for the injured bodies. The only other time he showed he truly cared was with Kagome or .... Kikyou.
"The wound is healing slowly. Thanks to another herb Kagome made, she'll be fine," spoke Sango in her also sadden voice. So much depression was so noticeable in the group of adults. "And Shippou and Kirara have nothing to worry about. Since they're demons, those wounds are healing pretty quickly," ended Sango knowing Inuyasha was going to ask about that by the look on his face.
"Yokata," Inuyasha whispered. The others nodded slowly agreeing with Inuyasha. Thank God they're all Ok. Thank God none of them are severely hurt and won't have much trouble recovering. Thank God they're all pretty healthy considering their condition and are not paralized, or worse. Thank God none of them is sleeping the eternal sleep. Thank God ........ (a/n: Now you can all guess what Yokata means).
Kagome lowered her head as she brought her hands to her face. She couldn't help it anymore as tears she was holding back from before when she was treating the children came out. She sobbed as she covered her face with her hands, "I was so worried," said Kagome between sniffs, "For a moment there, I thought .... I thought ........"
Kagome couldn't end her sentence, it hurt too much. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome who was in front of him and wrapped his arms around her. Kagome buried her face into Inuyasha's kimono as she brought her hands around Inuyasha's waist to hold him close. Kagome could hear Sango begin to break too. She knew Sango was holding in her tears too, but she guessed Sango was stronger than her since she's the second to burst out into tears.
Sango closed her eyes to try to stop the tears from falling, but that just helped the tears that already had formed in her eyes came out faster. Drops of water landed over her eyelids and slid down her cheek, landing down from her face on to anything that lay beneath. Miroku brought Sango to him and cradled her in his arms. "It's Ok now," whispered Miroku as he closed his eyes to prevent himself from crying also. He didn't care about his manhood or if he seemed like a baby if he cried over his almost daughter's death, but he didn't because he had to be strong for Sango. Miroku hugged Sango tighter as she kept her hands over her eyes to try to prevent people from seeing her tears.
"That's right," soothed Inuyasha, "The danger is gone. All that matters now is that they recover." No one was surprised at how Inuyasha was acting, it was like something you acquired from parenting. Seemed that Inuyasha finally let that side of him come out in a way. Kagome nodded as she got out of Inuyasha's grip. She looked down and placed her hand on a sort of chain around her neck. She grabbed the white necklace that seemed to have sharp teeth making up the chain and pulled it all out from under her kimono. At the end of the necklace, was the Shikon No Tama.
~*~ Hut ~*~ "Where am I?" Shippou shook his head roughly to get the annoying headache forming in his head to stop. After doing that, he found out it wasn't such a good idea, it just made it worse. He sat up and placed his hand on his head. He looked around and saw the familiar surroundings, "I guess everything that happened was a dream," Shippou paused and thought about it, "More like a nightmare."
Shippou brought his hand down and took the covers off him. It wasn't that hot under the covers, but at the moment for him it felt like it was 100 degrees outside and with the blanket, it was even hotter. Shippou tried to stand up, but sudden pain rushed through his body causing him to growl in agony. Shippou looked down and saw bandages wrapped around his waist. He remembered Kagome saying she will never use bandages from her time unless it was really necessary so the fact that he was wearing them must be a bad sign.
Memories of what happened earlier that day came rushing into his head. He sighed, "Guess it wasn't a stupid nightmare after all." Something suddenly hit him and he shot up quickly. He desperately looked around the room, scanning every corner. He stopped and sighed in relief when he saw Takara sleeping with Kirara on top of her blanket.
He got on his hands and knees and prepared himself. After taking in a deep breath, he crawled over to her, trying to ignore his body's complaints. By the time he actually made it to Takara's resting place, he could feel his knees already going weak and his head aching more than ever. His chest wasn't a real help either, he could barely breath.
He sat down on the floor Indian style the best he could. He stayed there for a while with his eyes closed to try to regain his normal breathing pattern. As he sat there with his eyes closed, his mind went into deep thought. He lowered his head as he arranged the thoughts in a way that wouldn't make his headache even bigger than it already was, "I'm sorry Takara ............ I didn't protect you ........."
Shippou was cut off from thought and he opened his eyes when he heard a soft gentle voice speaking his name. He lifted his head to see Takara staring back at him, her eyes barely opened, barely showing the color of violets and sky blue mixed together making her dark blue orbs called eyes, "Takara. You're awake. Are you Ok?"
Takara nodded slowly the best she could. Her body had no strength left so it was lucky she was even able to nod to Shippou. Her body felt like a feather, like a breeze could start in the hut and lift her into the sky, blow her anywhere in the world, then bring her back to this same spot and drop her off gently into her bed. Shippou sighed again in relief, "She's going to be Ok," thought Shippou happily.
Takara spoke his name gently again. Shippou snapped out of it when he heard Takara speak once again, her voice making his name sound so important, so needed. "Yeah? What is it?," responded Shippou with a small smile forming in his bruised face. His bruises would be gone by tomorrow, both Takara and Shippou knew it, so they tried to pretend like those nasty bruises weren't even there.
"Why you help me?"
"What?"
"Why YOU help me?"
Shippou smiled slightly at Takara's question. "What a dumb question ....," said Shippou lightly. He tried his best for what he said not to seem mean. Takara knew he was joking when he said that. At least she hoped he was joking. Shippou noticed her reaction to what he just said by her sadden eyes so he spoke quickly again to show he was really playing around, "You're my friend Takara. I didn't want to lose a new friend before I got to know that person. And even if I knew you better, I'd still try to protect you."
Takara returned the smile before she felt herself drifting back into slumber. Shippou and Takara stayed in a gaze, their eyes meeting like it was the first time. They both thought the same thing at the time, "Eyes so beautiful ....." Takara's smile grew, then slowly disappeared as she went back to dream land. Shippou laid down next to her as he felt his body become weaker and weaker. He closed his eyes as his sight never left Takara's gentle face.
~*~ Outside ~*~ Inuyasha's ears had picked on the small and brief conversation Takara and Shippou had in the hut. He tried to hold in a smile. He wasn't going to tell no one about it, what was the point anyway? If he told them they'd rush into the hut to find them still sleeping. They'd call Inuyasha a liar, but then the fact that Shippou is now sleeping next to Takara would prove them he was telling the truth. "Feh! I'll just shut up and comfort Kagome for now," thought Inuyasha as he looked back at Kagome who sat next to him. Sango was of course sitting next to Miroku as Inuyasha had a tight grip on Kagome's hips.
"So what do we do now?," asked Miroku with his voice still showing the worry, except now it was less and decreasing as the moments passed by. Sango grabbed Miroku's hand and slipped her fingers between his. He smiled at her as he closed his hand on hers, tightening their clasp. They stared at each other for a while. The gaze was broken when Inuyasha startled both of them.
"What do you think?! We'll wait until those kids heal then we'll go kick some demon ass!," yelled the angered hanyou. Inuyasha tried his best not to stand up and run in search from anger still there as he kept repeating the injuries he saw on the small injured creatures, the blood. First thing that stopped Inuyasha from going totally crazy was that he didn't even know what he'd be looking for. Second, he wanted to comfort Kagome as much as possible. Plus, the minute those kids wake up (Again) he wanted to be there.
"Oh so you know the demon you're after now Inuyasha?," asked Kagome with a raised eyebrow. Inuyasha had just had this same talk with himself, he didn't know who or what he was looking for. He should of never opened his mouth or at least said those words. Now he had to repeat this to Kagome.
By Inuyasha's silence and lowered tone, Kagome knew her answer. She shook her head in disappointment obviously telling Inuyasha he's an idiot, which Inuyasha was about to protest. He was going to tell Kagome off and tell her he already came to the conclusion that he didn't know who he was looking for and got that through his head before Kagome asked, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little stupid to say out loud. It was like he was saying himself he's really stupid.
"First we have to figure out why the jewel's still here after it was used and who's after it," Sango said trying to explain the situation at the moment, but she didn't finish since Miroku cut in.
"And why someone's even after it and how they knew Takara had it ...... Or why Takara had the jewel with her in the first place," ended Miroku as memories of earlier came, Takara releasing the jewel from her grip as she drifted into sleep from the tremendous lose of blood. Thankfully they found her in time and she didn't lose as much as she would have, because then the worst would of happened.
"So many questions .....," said Kagome, "We need to wait until Takara and Shippu wake up to ask them about all this. Maybe they know something that can come in handy later."
Inuyasha became frustrated from everyone's constant blabbering of the obvious, "Damn it! Who cares why or how, all I want to know is who the fuck I have to kill for doing that to the little brats!" Inuyasha tightened his grasp on Kagome's hips even more with the rage boiling inside him. If he hadn't notice in time, he might of really hurt her and drawn blood. He already saw too much blood for the day so seeing Kagome's right now wasn't going to make things better. Seeing her blood never was a good idea in the first place. "That is if her blood was in .......... WHOA!", Inuyasha stopped himself immediately from finishing that thought.
"Calm down Inuyasha. We're all upset about this, but we need to plan things first," said Miroku to calm down Inuyasha who looked ready to kill the next living thing that even crossed his vision. Miroku started to fear and hoped villagers didn't pass by at the moment. However, Miroku wasn't only hoping a stranger didn't come by because of Inuyasha, but also because of himself. Deep inside he felt he was ready to snap.
Sango noticed Miroku's uneasyness and tightened her grip on his hand. Miroku looked back at Sango and saw her concern. He sighed and smiled at Sango to reassure her he's keeping himself in check. Everyone kept talking on the situation until a voice from behind interrupted their conversation and stopped them all from talking.
"Sango? Is that yie?," asked an old lady in a priestess kimono with a bow and arrow in hand. Everyone stood up (Not at exactly the same time of course) and Sango faced the old woman that was noticeably shorter than her.
"Yes, it's me Kaede."
Kaede smiled at the young lady in front of her, "I'm glad to see yie again dear Sango. Where have yie been these few years?"
"I've been at my old village this whole time."
"What have yie been doing during these years at your old village?"
Sango was about to answer her question, but Kagome stopped her, "I'll tell you about all of it Kaede!" She ran to her and grabbed the old woman's hand dragging her into the hut. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked into the hut while muttering something about old hags. Sango stayed there blinking a few times before sighing, "Kagome does that with everyone when there's something new to inform about," softly said Sango with a small laugh escaping after. Miroku smiled at Sango, he was happy to see her finally smiling again, even after the horrible event that happened.
Miroku pulled Sango a little him since they were still holding hands. "Is there something you want Miroku?," asked Sango as she faced him. Miroku leaned close to Sango and stared closely into Sango's beautiful shimmering eyes. The trails of her earlier tears were gone, by her eyelids still were wet from the ones that formed. Sango stayed there frozen as she starred into the monk's gorgeous intriguing eyes. It's been such a long time since she got the chance to gaze into those orbs. Oh how much she missed them. Miroku brought and placed his free hand on her chin, "I love you Sango and I'm so sorry I let our daughter get hurt the way she did," he whispered.
"It wasn't your fault. Don't trouble yourself with it," Sango whispered back, feeling her feet losing strength from Miroku's gaze.
Miroku's smile grew, "I promise to never let her nor you ever get hurt again." Sango didn't respond as Miroku leaned closer and pressed his tender lips on hers. They both closed their eyes to savor the kiss. Their hands still were clasped together on their side and Miroku's hand was still on Sango's chin. Sango could feel Miroku's tongue slid across her soft lips. She opened her mouth a little to let his tongue meet hers.
Miroku could remember the last time his tongue played with hers, the night they shared their bodies with each other, the night they made a child together, the night they proved their love for each other. Then the next day clouded all that wonder and parted them for about 3 years. Miroku hated himself for it, he wished he never let Sango go that time. But now is different, he will never let her go or let his daughter go, no matter what happened. Sango's cheeks were now wet with tears. Miroku let go of her lips and stared at her in confusement, "Why are you crying Sango?"
Sango still had her eyes closed and once she noticed their lips had parted, she slowly opened them. She heard Miroku's question and smiled at it because she could feel his concern on her actions. "Haven't you ever heard of tears of joy?" Miroku smiled back at Sango as he let go of her chin and placed his hand on Sango's cheek, wiping away the tears still falling down her eyes with his thumb.
He wanted her tears to disappear so they would stop fogging the precious shade of brown her eyes held. Sango placed her free hand over the one he had on her cheek and closed her eyes, "Arigatou." Miroku was a bit confused by her sudden thank you and Sango noticed it. "Arigatou for always being there for me and making me happy in the worst situations. I know together we will raise Takara well and this whole incident will blow over," she whispered softly to end her guy's confusement. Miroku nodded slowly understanding and admiring her sweet words as he leaned in closer to Sango again to end the space between their lips.
~*~ Hut ~*~ "Poor children," said Kaede as she observed them. Kagome had just finished telling her everything, about Sango and her daughter, about the demon that attacked, and about the jewel suddenly appearing again. Kagome had the jewel safely around her neck for safe keeping until she knew what to do with it. She'd consult with the others about that later.
As Kaede searched over the patient's bodies to double check if everything was really Ok, Kagome wondered how Shippou got to where he was at. She left that thought unfinished when she noticed Inuyasha looking out the hut's window. Kagome walked over to where he was standing, "What are you looking at Inuyasha?" Inuyasha just kept staring out the window, completely ignoring the girl's question. Kagome became a bit irratated, "Inuyasha, I asked you ......."
Inuyasha cut in before Kagome could finish, "Miroku is finally happy, we finally see Sango again, we all make a new friend with their daughter. Everything was suppose to work out for the best, but now this happened and I know it ain't the end," Inuyasha still stood there staring out the window. Kagome looked at him for a moment before looking out the window too. She smiled at the site of the couple kissing.
"So that's what he was gocking at," thought Kagome. Before Kagome could say anything to him, Inuyasha turned around and walked away from the window. Kagome turned around too and stared at Inuyasha, "I know you're upset Inuyasha. I am too. I wished this never happened, but we can't do anything about it now. Whatever happens, we'll go through it all together." Inuyasha didn't respond back to that and just stood there looking down at Kaede and the others. Kagome sighed and walked over to Inuyasha's side, "He must be really pissed to be acting this way," thought Kagome with a lot of concern for her lover.
Kaede stood up and looked at Kagome, "They are going to be fine thank heavens." Kagome smiled in relief and nodded. Inuyasha growled a bit and turned around to walk outside the hut. Sango and Miroku came into the hut holding hands and smiling. But their smiled faded and changed into a frown when they saw Inuyasha's face expression. They moved out of the way when they saw Inuyasha darting outside. Kagome stared at him as he stomped off. "What wrong with him?," asked Sango, "Did you fight or something just now?" Sango started remembering the times when Inuyasha and Kagome fought over really small things (Mostly Inuyasha's jealousy) and Kagome would go back home until Inuyasha would come and get her. Memories can be so funny ... sometimes.
"No, but a fight might start if he doesn't tell me what's going on," answered Kagome as she traced after Inuyasha in an attempt to find the hanyou and get some damn answers. Whoa, she's starting to sound like Inuyasha. Well that's what you get after spending so much with him. Kagome didn't mind about it either, she was more concerned about how the way Inuyasha was acting. Did she do something wrong to get him that upset? He seemed upset and was ignoring her, why? "Well I'm going to find out," thought Kagome as she kept walking and looking around for him, unable to stop him anywhere. After a long while, she finally stopped and found Inuyasha sitting up on a tree.
"What's going on with you Inuyasha!," screamed Kagome from below. Inuyasha just stared down at her for a moment before looking to his side and doing his usual 'Feh'. Kagome glared at Inuyasha as she tried asking again, this time even louder and with more demand visible in her voice. "I wish he had those beads around his neck right now," thought Kagome as she hit herself mentally for taking them off in the first place. But then the memory of Inuyasha admitting his love to her always made her agree with that decision.
Inuyasha this time didn't even do anything as his ears picked up on her yelling, he just looked to his side. Kagome got mad as he now started to ignore her even more. She huffed as she walked closer to the tree and started climbing on the large roots growing out of the ground from the large tree. Inuyasha looked down in surprise when he found her actually trying to climb the tree to get to him, "Very persistent," thought Inuyasha with a grin. He quickly hid the grin before Kagome could see it.
Kagome placed her foot on another large root and grabbed onto a branch near her. She squealed when she noticed she was losing her grip on the branch. As she expected, she lost her grip and she started screaming from the fall. She waited for her body to hit the hard ground, but was not totally surprised when she landed into someone's arms. "What the hell were you doing? You could of hurt yourself you idiot!," screamed her savior. Kagome sighed as Inuyasha placed her on the ground on her feet.
"What the hell am I doing?! What the hell are you doing?! Ignoring me like that back there and then storming off for no reason!," exclaimed Kagome at the top of her lungs in her own defense. She wasn't about to back down to Inuyasha, she wanted answers and no matter what, she's going to get them if it's the last thing she does. She always got what she wanted in the end anyway.
Inuyasha looked to his side, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Kagome twitched in frustration as she grabbed a lock of Inuyasha's hair and brought his face close to hers.
"STOP IGNORING ME! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!," Kagome kept her grip tight on his silver hair, making Inuyasha growl. He didn't like people pulling his hair, even if it was his Kagome. He immediately grabbed Kagome's wrist making her release his hair. He brought her hand in front of them both and he stared at her with passion forming in his eyes. Kagome got wide eyed as she remembered the last time they were like this: By a big tree, he holding her hand in the same way, he staring at her with those eyes. That was the day before they met Urasue and Kagome first met Kikyou.
"Look Kagome. I'm just mad that we have to go through all this again. I don't want to do these type of dangerous journeys again. Especially not now. We're all weaker since we haven't fought in a long time and I don't want to have chances where the others might get hurt or," he paused as he leaned closer to Kagome, "Or where you get hurt. I can't lose you."
Kagome was surprised by what he just said. Of course she knew he was pissed off on the whole situation, but not that he cared this much on her and the others. She smiled at Inuyasha and pulled her hand away from Inuyasha's grip. She jumped on him and hugged him tightly. Inuyasha at first was surprised by her actions, but then hugged her tightly back.
"Inuyasha, don't worry," Kagome leaned off Inuyasha's body while still having her arms around his neck making them look at each other in that position, "Me or the others won't get hurt. With you protecting me and with me a little stronger now, we won't get hurt as much as before. We have experience from our last quest and we're more careful now. More smarter too. I promise you that I will do my best to not get hurt so that you won't have to worry."
Inuyasha slightly smiled at Kagome, "Promise?" Kagome couldn't help, but giggle at how Inuyasha asked that question. He asked as though he was a kid making his parents promise him a special gift on his birthday or something.
Kagome nodded, "Promise." Inuyasha closed his eyes and leaned closer to Kagome. Kagome closed her eyes as well as she saw Inuyasha ending space between them and leaned closer herself. Their lips met, as they have before, making a sort of contract that Kagome will keep her promise. Everything will work out, even if at the moment it doesn't even seem like it. As long as they had each other, nothing could hurt them. Love will help out in the end. Love will conquer all.

a/n: This is not fair! I've been checking back here at my story to see how many reviews I've gotten so far and I've been seeing that some reviews I see on here, I don't receive them at my email inbox! Stupid FanFiction, almost making me leave out people from responding to them in the chapters. But the keyword is ALMOST since I was smart enough to check back here to see the reviews.
So since I've told you this, you know it's not my fault if I don't respond to your review if you submitted one. It either means I didn't receive it at my inbox or FanFiction didn't post it on the review site page for this story. New reviewers meaning new people reading my story! YAY! And the fact that I got new reviews from people that read my story and submitted a review before is even better because that means that you're still reading and you're enjoying the story! ^_____^

a/n: Hey again everyone! I know you all get bored of me going on and on, never ending my talking sessions, but I acquired this skill from my good old friend Lasako so get used to it! LoLz I know some of you (Or not all of you) get tired of me repeating Japanese words and translating them into English so I'll do you all a favor. No, I won't stop making long ass author notes, too bad for you. What I will do though is if you find a Japanese word you don't know (Since I'll stop doing that translating crap in the ending author notes), you can just ask me about it (In a review or whichever you like) and I'll help you out. Sound better? *Readers roll eyes*
Don't hate me for this, but I won't be updating as soon as I want. I mean I still will be writing ideas for my story and writing rough drafts in my notebook, but to actually type them and post them will be the hard part. It's not that I'm doing it on purpose, but I just went to school and you wouldn't believe the torture I suffered! I got stuck with my worst teacher for Home Room, I already got to do 4 essays, read a whole book in 3 days, I got like 3 tests to take and it's only the first week of school! *Sigh* Well gotta go start that HW packet I left undone because I started this chapter so bye for now!
Anyway, please read "Home Is Where The Hurt Is" by RougePryde, it's a really good story. It's really romantic and sad, that's why I love it so much! I'm glad my best friend told me about it, thanks Maria! *Blows kisses of gratitude* I read the story in one day (It's not done yet though) so that can show how much I love the story so far. It's not that long, but it is 24 chapters so far so you can read it if you want (I really do recommend it).
Not only read that story, read the others under my Favorite Stories list too please and tell them I sent you to their story (I want the credit *Laughs*). If you know a good story, tell me about it and I'll see if I can read it later (Don't worry, I'll say you send me there to give you the credit too, LoLz). Tell me about your stories too please (What it's about, summary or something) so maybe if I have time I can read it. Hey, it's not bad telling people about your stories (Like they're some of you who think it's being conceided or something), I tell people about mine all the time! ^.~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome placed Shippou down in her bed (Which is his and Inuyasha's bed too) and brought the blanket up to his neck. Sango was doing the same with Takara in the other side of the hut. Miroku knelt down next to Sango and placed Kirara over Takara's body which was now covered in a warm blanket. Slowly, they all stood up and walked outside to let them peacefully rest.
"Are they Ok?," asked Inuyasha when he spotted Kagome, Miroku, and Sango coming towards him. He noticed the depressed expressions on their faces and Inuyasha started to get worried. But when he saw Kagome's face, she half smiled for him showing there's nothing to worry about it.
"I gave Shippou and Kirara special herbs to get the demon's venon out," reassured Kagome. But her answer was so softly spoken that if Inuyasha didn't have his dog ears, he might of not heard her at all. Inuyasha could detect the remorse in her voice. Inside he was beating himself up, he hates seeing Kagome like this. He hates seeing his friend's so depressed. He hates seeing Takara, Kirara and Shippou injured and barely moving at all. "If only I got there sooner," thought Inuyasha as he growling within himself, "But thankfully I did get there in time or else ..... No, I have to stop thinking about this, they're Ok now. Everyone's Ok."
Inuyasha turned his head to look at Miroku when he heard him speaking. "Takara is resting, all cleaned up and healing. Thankfully that dreadful snake didn't poison her, just bit her," said Miroku with mixed feelings visible in his voice. No one needed to have Inuyasha's senses to know what those feelings were, all knew it was hatred and relief.
"What about the wound she had? It looked really bad ..........," asked Inuyasha sounding really concerned. Again, everyone around him noticed it. All of them knew Inuyasha pretty well. He would get pissed off and seem really mad so he never had to truly show his true emotions, but this time, he didn't try to cover it up. He showed his true emotions with his sadden expression and the tone of his voice. This showed he really was concerned for the injured bodies. The only other time he showed he truly cared was with Kagome or .... Kikyou.
"The wound is healing slowly. Thanks to another herb Kagome made, she'll be fine," spoke Sango in her also sadden voice. So much depression was so noticeable in the group of adults. "And Shippou and Kirara have nothing to worry about. Since they're demons, those wounds are healing pretty quickly," ended Sango knowing Inuyasha was going to ask about that by the look on his face.
"Yokata," Inuyasha whispered. The others nodded slowly agreeing with Inuyasha. Thank God they're all Ok. Thank God none of them are severely hurt and won't have much trouble recovering. Thank God they're all pretty healthy considering their condition and are not paralized, or worse. Thank God none of them is sleeping the eternal sleep. Thank God ........ (a/n: Now you can all guess what Yokata means).
Kagome lowered her head as she brought her hands to her face. She couldn't help it anymore as tears she was holding back from before when she was treating the children came out. She sobbed as she covered her face with her hands, "I was so worried," said Kagome between sniffs, "For a moment there, I thought .... I thought ........"
Kagome couldn't end her sentence, it hurt too much. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome who was in front of him and wrapped his arms around her. Kagome buried her face into Inuyasha's kimono as she brought her hands around Inuyasha's waist to hold him close. Kagome could hear Sango begin to break too. She knew Sango was holding in her tears too, but she guessed Sango was stronger than her since she's the second to burst out into tears.
Sango closed her eyes to try to stop the tears from falling, but that just helped the tears that already had formed in her eyes came out faster. Drops of water landed over her eyelids and slid down her cheek, landing down from her face on to anything that lay beneath. Miroku brought Sango to him and cradled her in his arms. "It's Ok now," whispered Miroku as he closed his eyes to prevent himself from crying also. He didn't care about his manhood or if he seemed like a baby if he cried over his almost daughter's death, but he didn't because he had to be strong for Sango. Miroku hugged Sango tighter as she kept her hands over her eyes to try to prevent people from seeing her tears.
"That's right," soothed Inuyasha, "The danger is gone. All that matters now is that they recover." No one was surprised at how Inuyasha was acting, it was like something you acquired from parenting. Seemed that Inuyasha finally let that side of him come out in a way. Kagome nodded as she got out of Inuyasha's grip. She looked down and placed her hand on a sort of chain around her neck. She grabbed the white necklace that seemed to have sharp teeth making up the chain and pulled it all out from under her kimono. At the end of the necklace, was the Shikon No Tama.
~*~ Hut ~*~ "Where am I?" Shippou shook his head roughly to get the annoying headache forming in his head to stop. After doing that, he found out it wasn't such a good idea, it just made it worse. He sat up and placed his hand on his head. He looked around and saw the familiar surroundings, "I guess everything that happened was a dream," Shippou paused and thought about it, "More like a nightmare."
Shippou brought his hand down and took the covers off him. It wasn't that hot under the covers, but at the moment for him it felt like it was 100 degrees outside and with the blanket, it was even hotter. Shippou tried to stand up, but sudden pain rushed through his body causing him to growl in agony. Shippou looked down and saw bandages wrapped around his waist. He remembered Kagome saying she will never use bandages from her time unless it was really necessary so the fact that he was wearing them must be a bad sign.
Memories of what happened earlier that day came rushing into his head. He sighed, "Guess it wasn't a stupid nightmare after all." Something suddenly hit him and he shot up quickly. He desperately looked around the room, scanning every corner. He stopped and sighed in relief when he saw Takara sleeping with Kirara on top of her blanket.
He got on his hands and knees and prepared himself. After taking in a deep breath, he crawled over to her, trying to ignore his body's complaints. By the time he actually made it to Takara's resting place, he could feel his knees already going weak and his head aching more than ever. His chest wasn't a real help either, he could barely breath.
He sat down on the floor Indian style the best he could. He stayed there for a while with his eyes closed to try to regain his normal breathing pattern. As he sat there with his eyes closed, his mind went into deep thought. He lowered his head as he arranged the thoughts in a way that wouldn't make his headache even bigger than it already was, "I'm sorry Takara ............ I didn't protect you ........."
Shippou was cut off from thought and he opened his eyes when he heard a soft gentle voice speaking his name. He lifted his head to see Takara staring back at him, her eyes barely opened, barely showing the color of violets and sky blue mixed together making her dark blue orbs called eyes, "Takara. You're awake. Are you Ok?"
Takara nodded slowly the best she could. Her body had no strength left so it was lucky she was even able to nod to Shippou. Her body felt like a feather, like a breeze could start in the hut and lift her into the sky, blow her anywhere in the world, then bring her back to this same spot and drop her off gently into her bed. Shippou sighed again in relief, "She's going to be Ok," thought Shippou happily.
Takara spoke his name gently again. Shippou snapped out of it when he heard Takara speak once again, her voice making his name sound so important, so needed. "Yeah? What is it?," responded Shippou with a small smile forming in his bruised face. His bruises would be gone by tomorrow, both Takara and Shippou knew it, so they tried to pretend like those nasty bruises weren't even there.
"Why you help me?"
"What?"
"Why YOU help me?"
Shippou smiled slightly at Takara's question. "What a dumb question ....," said Shippou lightly. He tried his best for what he said not to seem mean. Takara knew he was joking when he said that. At least she hoped he was joking. Shippou noticed her reaction to what he just said by her sadden eyes so he spoke quickly again to show he was really playing around, "You're my friend Takara. I didn't want to lose a new friend before I got to know that person. And even if I knew you better, I'd still try to protect you."
Takara returned the smile before she felt herself drifting back into slumber. Shippou and Takara stayed in a gaze, their eyes meeting like it was the first time. They both thought the same thing at the time, "Eyes so beautiful ....." Takara's smile grew, then slowly disappeared as she went back to dream land. Shippou laid down next to her as he felt his body become weaker and weaker. He closed his eyes as his sight never left Takara's gentle face.
~*~ Outside ~*~ Inuyasha's ears had picked on the small and brief conversation Takara and Shippou had in the hut. He tried to hold in a smile. He wasn't going to tell no one about it, what was the point anyway? If he told them they'd rush into the hut to find them still sleeping. They'd call Inuyasha a liar, but then the fact that Shippou is now sleeping next to Takara would prove them he was telling the truth. "Feh! I'll just shut up and comfort Kagome for now," thought Inuyasha as he looked back at Kagome who sat next to him. Sango was of course sitting next to Miroku as Inuyasha had a tight grip on Kagome's hips.
"So what do we do now?," asked Miroku with his voice still showing the worry, except now it was less and decreasing as the moments passed by. Sango grabbed Miroku's hand and slipped her fingers between his. He smiled at her as he closed his hand on hers, tightening their clasp. They stared at each other for a while. The gaze was broken when Inuyasha startled both of them.
"What do you think?! We'll wait until those kids heal then we'll go kick some demon ass!," yelled the angered hanyou. Inuyasha tried his best not to stand up and run in search from anger still there as he kept repeating the injuries he saw on the small injured creatures, the blood. First thing that stopped Inuyasha from going totally crazy was that he didn't even know what he'd be looking for. Second, he wanted to comfort Kagome as much as possible. Plus, the minute those kids wake up (Again) he wanted to be there.
"Oh so you know the demon you're after now Inuyasha?," asked Kagome with a raised eyebrow. Inuyasha had just had this same talk with himself, he didn't know who or what he was looking for. He should of never opened his mouth or at least said those words. Now he had to repeat this to Kagome.
By Inuyasha's silence and lowered tone, Kagome knew her answer. She shook her head in disappointment obviously telling Inuyasha he's an idiot, which Inuyasha was about to protest. He was going to tell Kagome off and tell her he already came to the conclusion that he didn't know who he was looking for and got that through his head before Kagome asked, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little stupid to say out loud. It was like he was saying himself he's really stupid.
"First we have to figure out why the jewel's still here after it was used and who's after it," Sango said trying to explain the situation at the moment, but she didn't finish since Miroku cut in.
"And why someone's even after it and how they knew Takara had it ...... Or why Takara had the jewel with her in the first place," ended Miroku as memories of earlier came, Takara releasing the jewel from her grip as she drifted into sleep from the tremendous lose of blood. Thankfully they found her in time and she didn't lose as much as she would have, because then the worst would of happened.
"So many questions .....," said Kagome, "We need to wait until Takara and Shippu wake up to ask them about all this. Maybe they know something that can come in handy later."
Inuyasha became frustrated from everyone's constant blabbering of the obvious, "Damn it! Who cares why or how, all I want to know is who the fuck I have to kill for doing that to the little brats!" Inuyasha tightened his grasp on Kagome's hips even more with the rage boiling inside him. If he hadn't notice in time, he might of really hurt her and drawn blood. He already saw too much blood for the day so seeing Kagome's right now wasn't going to make things better. Seeing her blood never was a good idea in the first place. "That is if her blood was in .......... WHOA!", Inuyasha stopped himself immediately from finishing that thought.
"Calm down Inuyasha. We're all upset about this, but we need to plan things first," said Miroku to calm down Inuyasha who looked ready to kill the next living thing that even crossed his vision. Miroku started to fear and hoped villagers didn't pass by at the moment. However, Miroku wasn't only hoping a stranger didn't come by because of Inuyasha, but also because of himself. Deep inside he felt he was ready to snap.
Sango noticed Miroku's uneasyness and tightened her grip on his hand. Miroku looked back at Sango and saw her concern. He sighed and smiled at Sango to reassure her he's keeping himself in check. Everyone kept talking on the situation until a voice from behind interrupted their conversation and stopped them all from talking.
"Sango? Is that yie?," asked an old lady in a priestess kimono with a bow and arrow in hand. Everyone stood up (Not at exactly the same time of course) and Sango faced the old woman that was noticeably shorter than her.
"Yes, it's me Kaede."
Kaede smiled at the young lady in front of her, "I'm glad to see yie again dear Sango. Where have yie been these few years?"
"I've been at my old village this whole time."
"What have yie been doing during these years at your old village?"
Sango was about to answer her question, but Kagome stopped her, "I'll tell you about all of it Kaede!" She ran to her and grabbed the old woman's hand dragging her into the hut. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked into the hut while muttering something about old hags. Sango stayed there blinking a few times before sighing, "Kagome does that with everyone when there's something new to inform about," softly said Sango with a small laugh escaping after. Miroku smiled at Sango, he was happy to see her finally smiling again, even after the horrible event that happened.
Miroku pulled Sango a little him since they were still holding hands. "Is there something you want Miroku?," asked Sango as she faced him. Miroku leaned close to Sango and stared closely into Sango's beautiful shimmering eyes. The trails of her earlier tears were gone, by her eyelids still were wet from the ones that formed. Sango stayed there frozen as she starred into the monk's gorgeous intriguing eyes. It's been such a long time since she got the chance to gaze into those orbs. Oh how much she missed them. Miroku brought and placed his free hand on her chin, "I love you Sango and I'm so sorry I let our daughter get hurt the way she did," he whispered.
"It wasn't your fault. Don't trouble yourself with it," Sango whispered back, feeling her feet losing strength from Miroku's gaze.
Miroku's smile grew, "I promise to never let her nor you ever get hurt again." Sango didn't respond as Miroku leaned closer and pressed his tender lips on hers. They both closed their eyes to savor the kiss. Their hands still were clasped together on their side and Miroku's hand was still on Sango's chin. Sango could feel Miroku's tongue slid across her soft lips. She opened her mouth a little to let his tongue meet hers.
Miroku could remember the last time his tongue played with hers, the night they shared their bodies with each other, the night they made a child together, the night they proved their love for each other. Then the next day clouded all that wonder and parted them for about 3 years. Miroku hated himself for it, he wished he never let Sango go that time. But now is different, he will never let her go or let his daughter go, no matter what happened. Sango's cheeks were now wet with tears. Miroku let go of her lips and stared at her in confusement, "Why are you crying Sango?"
Sango still had her eyes closed and once she noticed their lips had parted, she slowly opened them. She heard Miroku's question and smiled at it because she could feel his concern on her actions. "Haven't you ever heard of tears of joy?" Miroku smiled back at Sango as he let go of her chin and placed his hand on Sango's cheek, wiping away the tears still falling down her eyes with his thumb.
He wanted her tears to disappear so they would stop fogging the precious shade of brown her eyes held. Sango placed her free hand over the one he had on her cheek and closed her eyes, "Arigatou." Miroku was a bit confused by her sudden thank you and Sango noticed it. "Arigatou for always being there for me and making me happy in the worst situations. I know together we will raise Takara well and this whole incident will blow over," she whispered softly to end her guy's confusement. Miroku nodded slowly understanding and admiring her sweet words as he leaned in closer to Sango again to end the space between their lips.
~*~ Hut ~*~ "Poor children," said Kaede as she observed them. Kagome had just finished telling her everything, about Sango and her daughter, about the demon that attacked, and about the jewel suddenly appearing again. Kagome had the jewel safely around her neck for safe keeping until she knew what to do with it. She'd consult with the others about that later.
As Kaede searched over the patient's bodies to double check if everything was really Ok, Kagome wondered how Shippou got to where he was at. She left that thought unfinished when she noticed Inuyasha looking out the hut's window. Kagome walked over to where he was standing, "What are you looking at Inuyasha?" Inuyasha just kept staring out the window, completely ignoring the girl's question. Kagome became a bit irratated, "Inuyasha, I asked you ......."
Inuyasha cut in before Kagome could finish, "Miroku is finally happy, we finally see Sango again, we all make a new friend with their daughter. Everything was suppose to work out for the best, but now this happened and I know it ain't the end," Inuyasha still stood there staring out the window. Kagome looked at him for a moment before looking out the window too. She smiled at the site of the couple kissing.
"So that's what he was gocking at," thought Kagome. Before Kagome could say anything to him, Inuyasha turned around and walked away from the window. Kagome turned around too and stared at Inuyasha, "I know you're upset Inuyasha. I am too. I wished this never happened, but we can't do anything about it now. Whatever happens, we'll go through it all together." Inuyasha didn't respond back to that and just stood there looking down at Kaede and the others. Kagome sighed and walked over to Inuyasha's side, "He must be really pissed to be acting this way," thought Kagome with a lot of concern for her lover.
Kaede stood up and looked at Kagome, "They are going to be fine thank heavens." Kagome smiled in relief and nodded. Inuyasha growled a bit and turned around to walk outside the hut. Sango and Miroku came into the hut holding hands and smiling. But their smiled faded and changed into a frown when they saw Inuyasha's face expression. They moved out of the way when they saw Inuyasha darting outside. Kagome stared at him as he stomped off. "What wrong with him?," asked Sango, "Did you fight or something just now?" Sango started remembering the times when Inuyasha and Kagome fought over really small things (Mostly Inuyasha's jealousy) and Kagome would go back home until Inuyasha would come and get her. Memories can be so funny ... sometimes.
"No, but a fight might start if he doesn't tell me what's going on," answered Kagome as she traced after Inuyasha in an attempt to find the hanyou and get some damn answers. Whoa, she's starting to sound like Inuyasha. Well that's what you get after spending so much with him. Kagome didn't mind about it either, she was more concerned about how the way Inuyasha was acting. Did she do something wrong to get him that upset? He seemed upset and was ignoring her, why? "Well I'm going to find out," thought Kagome as she kept walking and looking around for him, unable to stop him anywhere. After a long while, she finally stopped and found Inuyasha sitting up on a tree.
"What's going on with you Inuyasha!," screamed Kagome from below. Inuyasha just stared down at her for a moment before looking to his side and doing his usual 'Feh'. Kagome glared at Inuyasha as she tried asking again, this time even louder and with more demand visible in her voice. "I wish he had those beads around his neck right now," thought Kagome as she hit herself mentally for taking them off in the first place. But then the memory of Inuyasha admitting his love to her always made her agree with that decision.
Inuyasha this time didn't even do anything as his ears picked up on her yelling, he just looked to his side. Kagome got mad as he now started to ignore her even more. She huffed as she walked closer to the tree and started climbing on the large roots growing out of the ground from the large tree. Inuyasha looked down in surprise when he found her actually trying to climb the tree to get to him, "Very persistent," thought Inuyasha with a grin. He quickly hid the grin before Kagome could see it.
Kagome placed her foot on another large root and grabbed onto a branch near her. She squealed when she noticed she was losing her grip on the branch. As she expected, she lost her grip and she started screaming from the fall. She waited for her body to hit the hard ground, but was not totally surprised when she landed into someone's arms. "What the hell were you doing? You could of hurt yourself you idiot!," screamed her savior. Kagome sighed as Inuyasha placed her on the ground on her feet.
"What the hell am I doing?! What the hell are you doing?! Ignoring me like that back there and then storming off for no reason!," exclaimed Kagome at the top of her lungs in her own defense. She wasn't about to back down to Inuyasha, she wanted answers and no matter what, she's going to get them if it's the last thing she does. She always got what she wanted in the end anyway.
Inuyasha looked to his side, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Kagome twitched in frustration as she grabbed a lock of Inuyasha's hair and brought his face close to hers.
"STOP IGNORING ME! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!," Kagome kept her grip tight on his silver hair, making Inuyasha growl. He didn't like people pulling his hair, even if it was his Kagome. He immediately grabbed Kagome's wrist making her release his hair. He brought her hand in front of them both and he stared at her with passion forming in his eyes. Kagome got wide eyed as she remembered the last time they were like this: By a big tree, he holding her hand in the same way, he staring at her with those eyes. That was the day before they met Urasue and Kagome first met Kikyou.
"Look Kagome. I'm just mad that we have to go through all this again. I don't want to do these type of dangerous journeys again. Especially not now. We're all weaker since we haven't fought in a long time and I don't want to have chances where the others might get hurt or," he paused as he leaned closer to Kagome, "Or where you get hurt. I can't lose you."
Kagome was surprised by what he just said. Of course she knew he was pissed off on the whole situation, but not that he cared this much on her and the others. She smiled at Inuyasha and pulled her hand away from Inuyasha's grip. She jumped on him and hugged him tightly. Inuyasha at first was surprised by her actions, but then hugged her tightly back.
"Inuyasha, don't worry," Kagome leaned off Inuyasha's body while still having her arms around his neck making them look at each other in that position, "Me or the others won't get hurt. With you protecting me and with me a little stronger now, we won't get hurt as much as before. We have experience from our last quest and we're more careful now. More smarter too. I promise you that I will do my best to not get hurt so that you won't have to worry."
Inuyasha slightly smiled at Kagome, "Promise?" Kagome couldn't help, but giggle at how Inuyasha asked that question. He asked as though he was a kid making his parents promise him a special gift on his birthday or something.
Kagome nodded, "Promise." Inuyasha closed his eyes and leaned closer to Kagome. Kagome closed her eyes as well as she saw Inuyasha ending space between them and leaned closer herself. Their lips met, as they have before, making a sort of contract that Kagome will keep her promise. Everything will work out, even if at the moment it doesn't even seem like it. As long as they had each other, nothing could hurt them. Love will help out in the end. Love will conquer all.

a/n: This is not fair! I've been checking back here at my story to see how many reviews I've gotten so far and I've been seeing that some reviews I see on here, I don't receive them at my email inbox! Stupid FanFiction, almost making me leave out people from responding to them in the chapters. But the keyword is ALMOST since I was smart enough to check back here to see the reviews.
So since I've told you this, you know it's not my fault if I don't respond to your review if you submitted one. It either means I didn't receive it at my inbox or FanFiction didn't post it on the review site page for this story. New reviewers meaning new people reading my story! YAY! And the fact that I got new reviews from people that read my story and submitted a review before is even better because that means that you're still reading and you're enjoying the story! ^_____^

But oh well .... *Rapes Sesshoumaru* ^_______^ Sorry Rain61, I guess this was a weird response to your short review right?
Queen of Koorime - I'm happy to hear from you again!!!!!!! Thanks so much for the review and I'm happy you liked the new chapter. I guess the twist I gave was a good one huh? I especially hope the last chapter made up for the delay and writer's block I had, I worked really hard on it. And I hope you liked this chapter too. Thanks for reviewing again, bye!
a/n: Hey again everyone! I know you all get bored of me going on and on, never ending my talking sessions, but I acquired this skill from my good old friend Lasako so get used to it! LoLz I know some of you (Or not all of you) get tired of me repeating Japanese words and translating them into English so I'll do you all a favor. No, I won't stop making long ass author notes, too bad for you. What I will do though is if you find a Japanese word you don't know (Since I'll stop doing that translating crap in the ending author notes), you can just ask me about it (In a review or whichever you like) and I'll help you out. Sound better? *Readers roll eyes*
Don't hate me for this, but I won't be updating as soon as I want. I mean I still will be writing ideas for my story and writing rough drafts in my notebook, but to actually type them and post them will be the hard part. It's not that I'm doing it on purpose, but I just went to school and you wouldn't believe the torture I suffered! I got stuck with my worst teacher for Home Room, I already got to do 4 essays, read a whole book in 3 days, I got like 3 tests to take and it's only the first week of school! *Sigh* Well gotta go start that HW packet I left undone because I started this chapter so bye for now!
