Sara: * take pills with water * Thank you Inu Yasha, I appreciate it. Oh, Makinlifeabetterplace liked your chapter.
Inu: Really? * smile * I liked it too. I got to beat up Miroku.
Sara: You are a goon. I knew you'd put a scene where you got to hit someone in your chapter. * starts to rub Inu' ears * All right, now I give you chapter sixteen. It is kinda slower paced and gets kinda fluffy. Sorry, if you don't like fluffiness.
~*~Chapter Sixteen: Speak of the Devil~*~
Inu Yasha made his way to the river and saw Sara sitting on a rock, dishes clean and sitting next to her. He watched as she dipped her toes in the warm water. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, so Inu Yasha didn't know if she knew he was there or not. Sara swiveled her foot in the water.
'I can't believe it,' she thought as a fish swam by. 'How could this happen?' "How could this happen right after I finally find him?" She asked aloud before burying her face in her hands to cry.
Inu Yasha walked up to her slowly. He hated to see women cry; it broke his heart. "Why are you crying, Sara?" He asked. She lifted her head to see him. He smiled. Her eyes were pink and kind of puffy from her crying. Tears had stained her cheeks and made them red. Sara sniffled.
"No reason," she replied quietly. She brought her knees to her chest and hugged them. She sniffled again.
"You are such a bad liar," he said, causing her to smile. "You are ugly when you cry," he added, sitting next to her on the rock.
"Now who's the liar? Your ears twitch when you lie. That's the way with all hanyous," she answered back. "So, what are you doing here?" she wiped her nose with her arm and cleared her face of all remaining tears as she turned to face Inu Yasha. Sara sat cross-legged, hands on her ankles, giving a look of innocence to her appearance.
"I came to see if you needed help," he replied. It wasn't an entire lie, he had wanted to help, but he really wanted to talk to her. "Why were you crying?" he asked again.
"Kikyo," she said quietly. "Kagome and Sango said she was taking you to hell. Is this true?" Tears began to build as she watched him.
"I don't really have a choice, Sara. I owe her that much. She was deceived with my body. I have a debt I have to pay off." He looked at her as a tear fell down her face. 'She's gonna cry again,' he thought as he wiped the tear away with a clawed finger. "I wish I didn't have to."
"Why do you have to? Who made her the one who chose your fate? Isn't that your job? Can't you change your mind? Please, Inu Yasha, say you can! Say you'll stay," That's as far as she got. She fell into his lap, crying, clutching his haori. He smoothed her hair and let her cry. As much as it hurt to admit, he could not change Kikyo's set path of taking him to hell. She wouldn't leave until he did. He heard a whisper through the sobs. "Say you'll stay with me."
Before he could comfort her, soul gatherers hovered around them. The sudden chill in the air caused Sara to look up. Inu Yasha was suddenly wishing he had told Sara how he felt right then, but the interruption stopped him. Sara sniffled and wiped her face. On the other side of the river was none other then the emotionless Kikyo.
~*~
"Inu Yasha," Kagome said, eyes as wide as dinner plates, "is in love with Sara? No wonder she was so devastated when she found out about Kikyo."
Sango stared at Miroku. Sara and Inu Yasha were in love, and their love was going to be broken once again, by the same person. She and Kagome had brought doubt into a heart filled heart, and with that realization, Sango began crying. Kagome, having come to the same conclusion, let the tears flow, too. Shippo ran to Kagome and hugged her. She hugged him back, and felt little tears on her school blouse for Shippo was crying because they were. Miroku made his way over to Sango. He sat next to her and put his hand on her back. She collapsed into his arms. Although the position was a perfect opportunity, the letch kept his hands on her back, comforting her and telling her everything was all right.
"We told her that Kikyo was going to take Inu Yasha to hell," Sango said into Miroku's robes. For a few minutes, the crying continued. When the tears stopped, Sango left the monk's arms, wiping her face on her kimono. Kagome still held Shippo, but they both had stopped crying. "Well," Sango said, half heartedly trying to make their talk with Sara seem better. "At least she knows. I think it is better know now so that she wont be completely broken when he leaves."
They sat in silence, waiting for the two hanyous to return. Shippo looked in the direction they had gone, only to see that, hovering over the trees, were . . .
"Soul gatherers," he whispered, just loud enough for everyone to hear. They all turned, and gaped at the three snake-like ghosts that were in the air.
~*~
"Well, what do we have here?" Kikyo said, almost sounding amazed. "I thought you would have given up hope, but I see your love for Inu Yasha was stronger then I had anticipated." Her soul gatherers carried her over the water. Inu Yasha and Sara both stood beside each other. Sara's anger had risen, and so had Inu Yasha's. "Inu Yasha! Are you ready? I am getting tired of waiting for you."
"No, Kikyo, I am not ready." Sara stared at Inu Yasha. He was still going to hell? 'Why? Just tell her no!' Sara pleaded with him in her head.
"Inu Yasha, time is growing short. You must hurry and say goodbye. I will return in three days' time for you. You will go to hell with me then, ready or not." Her body was taken high into the air and carried away. Inu Yasha lowered his head.
He was ashamed. Even though every muscle in his body wanted to tell her no, and that he was staying here, he didn't. He didn't tell her. Kikyo said that Sara loved him. If she was right, then he wasn't going to hell. If Sara told him how she felt about him, then he would stay with her. He needed to hear her say the words. Inu Yasha didn't want someone to say it for her, his ears needed to hear the phrase roll off her tongue. He looked at her through the corner of his eye.
Sara had unconsciously grasped her katanas when Kikyo showed up. Now, she let them go and turned to stand in front of Inu Yasha. She took his head in her hands, forcing him to look at her.
"Inu Yasha," she said, letting go of his face. Their eyes locked, and she saw longing in his amber orbs. "Why can't you stay?" she sounded like a young child.
"I want to, but there is only one thing that could make me." He stared at her. "I would only stay if someone said that they loved-"
"INU YASHA!!" Kagome said, emerging from the trees, followed by Sango, Miroku, and Shippo.

Sara: * cough * Well, there is another chapter for you all, and I hope it didn't disappoint you. Yes, kinda a bad place to leave off, but I am sorry. Chapter seventeen will be begun as soon as I have put an end to this note.
Inu: You made Kagome interrupt her?!? You ARE the devil! I was correct when I said it before! I can't believe you!
Sara: *rubs Inu's ears again, causing him to sit at my side * Suspense, Inu- chan. Suspense. It is key to my story. I write with cliffies and suspense. Well, until next chapter,
