Chapter?: And, as they say, The shit hits the fan
**********************
"...and, here we are.", finished Kagome. She had started the story almost two hours ago. It would have gone much quicker
if she hadn't been constantly interupted by questions. However, she had put a stop to the questions after Miroku had asked, "so, exactly how did my robes look as I flew through the air after Sango threw me off herself, did they look graceful and tragic, was it as if things were happening very slowly?". That had been it, she couldn't take his interupting her with such minimal things as that. She had ordered them to wait untill she was finished to ask ANY more questions.
So now, with her more detailed version done, she awaited the questions that were soon to come.
"you made Miroku and I hold hands after we were dead!?", blushed a very embarrassed Sango. Miroku grinned that big goofy grin of his.
'oops..I probably should have left that part out'..thought Kagome.
"yes, yes I did, does it matter? You were both dead, I realy didn't think you would mind in that state." she shot back, tired and agitated.
Inuyasha sat back in his chair, he hadn't said one word, for a whole two hours he had just sat still, amused as he watched Sango and the monks reaction's as Kagome related her story. It had been fun watching Kagome get aggravated, usualy she was patient and caring with her friends, but, it appeared as though she was a tad bit on edge at the time. He could understand why.She hadn't had hardly any sleep in two days, and what sleep she did have was on the blood covered ground after killing Narako. She had, no doubt, been under a lot of stress, and..some of that stress probably had a lot to do with him. He found
that Kagome was almost acting like him now, talking to her friends as she was.
Sango looked slightly surprised. Kagome was acting angry, and, she knew she had better leave her alone about the whole 'holding hands' thing, it wasn't realy that important..'after all..now that Naruko's dead, and houshi samas air rip is gone, were kind of-', she stopped that thought before it could go any farther..'nevermind that, I'll just deal with whats at hand'..
Miroku felt the need to ask another question. There was one part of the story he still couldn't believe.
"You decapitated him Kagome, after he was already dead?..You just hacked away?", he asked. Inuyasha smirked, Sango looked at Kagome expectantly, she had meant to ask the same thing.
Kagome let out a sigh, "I HAD TO MAKE SURE HE WAS DEAD!", she practicaly screamed for what seemed like the millionth time taht day. Why did everyone keep asking her that! I was realy starting to annoy her.
"YES I KILLED NARAKU, I HACKED OFF HIS HEAD! HE'S DEAD, HE'S GONE, IT'S OVER NOW. THE SHIKON NO TAMA IS COMPLETE! I KILLED HIM!", with that said, she turned and walked out the door.
Inuyasha knew better than to go after her. He knew that she needed some time to think. Probably a lot of time to think. He needed time to think too. He would stay here and make sure the lech didn't try anything he shouldn't, and that no one tried to hurt his..companions.
Sango began to understand what Kagome must be going through. She had understood the hidden meaning under her last out burst. The Shickon No Tama was finished. Narako was dead. There was no longer a need for a Shickon Shard detector, Kagome's original cause for staying here was complete. But Sango also knew that Kagome had become a lot more than just a shard detector. She was like a sister to her. Kagome loved Inuyasha, everyone knew that, and Inuyasha loved her too, although, he also loved Kikyou. Sango knew that too..and she couldn't help but wander if he still was going to go to hell with her. They had formed a
rather disfunctional family, all of them, Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippoe, Miroku, Kirara, and herself. And now, with the quest over, what was going to happen to it. Miroku and herself..well..that had been decided, although she wasn't ready to deal with that just yet. Shippo would no doubt hang around. But, Kagome and Inuyasha were not spoken for, would they both leave? One to go back to another time, the other to go to hell? What would happen after they were out of the hospital? That was after all, when the decision would have to be made. What would happen to their family?
Miroku had slightly expected that. He knew what must be going through her mind. He was all to aware of the predicament at hand. But, he chose to, uncharacteristcaly, ignore it, just let things run their course and take everything as it comes.
He didn't want to think about what would become of their little family if it lost two of its members, he didn't want to think
about the turmiol that would cause. Shippo would no doubt be completely devasted, losing another mother, after he had only just began to adjust to life without his old one, the hyper little boy might even miss Inuyasha, they were like brothers in a way. Sango would be losing a sister and a friend. He himself would be losing two of the few people he had ever trusted in his life, he would be losing two dear friends. Sure, he would still have Sango, and Shippo, Kirara too, and eventualy they would adapt to life without the other two...but..he didn't want that..he didn't want things to change.
"Feh, I guess I'll stay here, Im sure theres a good tree around here somewhere...", Inuyasha said meekly, as he glanced out the window, breaking everyone out of their thoughts.
"Yes, you probably should stay and let Kagome have some time to herself.", aggreed the monk.
Inuyasha turned and glared at him, only to see the lech with a sad and somewhat distant look on his face, as if he were thinking of something very depressing. Inuyasha bit his tongue, he didn't feel like making any rude comments now. He just wanted to go and think.
"How the hell do I get this thing open!", he growled instead.
Sango looked over at him, and saw what he was having trouble with. A plate of glass that allowed you to see the outside.
"How do you know it opens?", she asked.
"Feh, Kagome has one in her room, except IT, isn't this confusing.."
"Oh..", was all Sango said, as she lay down deep into her bed and shut her eyes.She wanted to sleep, so she couldn't think about her problems.
"Feh..", Inuyasha grumbled, as he went and picked up his chair and hurled it through the window, breaking the glass.
"I opened it..", he muttered, as he climbed through and jumped to the ground below, and went to find a tree to sit in.
Back in the hospital room, Miroku stared at where Inuyasha had been, and then at the broken glass on the floor. The shattering noise had brought him out of his thoughts. He looked at Sango and saw that she had fallen asleep. At the time, sleeping sounded like a good idea. So, he too layed down his head and closed his eyes. Soon, he too was asleep.
*****************************************************************
Kagome had made it back to the waiting room. It was a considerably long walk without being carried by a demon. She felt slightly embarresed for making such a scene, she hoped they understood. Spotting her mother, still reading a magazine, she walked over to her.
"Mom, lets go home."
"But what about your other friend?"
"He wanted to stay here..", she lied, but she knew Inuyasha would be alright, there were plenty of trees around here after all.
"Ok sweety."
***
And soon they were home. Kagome ran up to her room before her mother could begin talking to her about stupid things. She had to think.
She lay down in her bed, she was tired, but there was no way she could go to sleep.
She knew what she was going to do about Inuyasha and the Shickon No Tama. She had a plan and there was definately no way she was backing out of it. Their were two parts too her plan. Of course, only Part one might be needed, it all depended on Inuyasha.
But, if part two was needed, and she hoped beyond hope that it was, she would go through with it, no matter what it sacrificed for her. She was going to go through with it. It was worth it. Just to be with him. Besides, part two probably wouldn't be that bad..hell, it might even be fun.
Of course, if part two was needed, remained to be known, she knew Inuyasha loved her, but, was that enough?
*******************
Inuyasha sat high above the ground in a tree. He was thinking.
Whats going to happen? He had always let thing run their course, never planned ahead. He thought back to the begining. Why had they even started to collect the jewels in the first place? So he could be full youkie? And then what had it been? Kill Naraku to avenge Kikyou, and then go to hell with her? So, now what was it. What did he want. He loved Kagome. He deserved to go to hell for what happened to Kikyou. What was he going to do now? Go to hell with Kikyou...or..or what?
He loved Kagome, and she loved him, he knew that. But, there was the difference in times. But most importantly, there was the difference in species. Kagome was human, he wasn't. She would age and he would stay basicaly the same. She would die, he might as well be imortal. He could be with Kagome, for,probably a good sixty or seventy years, maybe a little more, but what then. Then he would be left with nothing, Sango and Miroku would be dead by then. He would be left with nothing..but..nothing but SHIPPO! He was horror struck at that realization. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku would all die, and then, he would be left with nothing but the annoying little brat. Shippo would never leave him either, he would attach himself to what ever was left of their little family. There was Kirara too..The idea of living the rest of eternity with Kirara and Shippo was rather frightening. He could deal with Shippo as long as Kagome was there, he was like a realy annoying little brother..but without Kagome..without Kagome he would be nothing.
So what was there for him? Those were his choices!? Go to hell for one of the women he loved, or stay and be happy for about seventy years with the other women he loved, and then, be without either of them. At least with Kikyou, he wouldn't lose her,
if they were in hell together, there wasn't many places for her to go...but, he loved Kagome too..so much..he hated being without her..he didn't know what he wanted..
*********************
And, a week passed like that, Kagome didn't come to visit her injured friends or Inuyasha, she stayed at home. She didn't even go to school. She just stayed in her room, thinking.
Inuyasha stayed in Sango and Miroku's room during the day, and in a tree at night. He ate the hospital food that was left over from what Miroku and Sango didn't eat. Little conversation was had. Miroku and Sango slept most of the time anyway, from all the medication they were on. He would just sit in their room, and contemplate, hiding whenever a nurse came in.
The hospital staff was perplexed, a window had been mysteriously broken and replaced three times now. No one knew who was doing it, the two occupants of the room were far to weak to do it.
*****************Almost 5 hundred years in the past*******
Seshoumaru and Rin walked upon the battle scene. He had wanted to go here and see what had realy happened.All the rumors were starting to make him curious, so he had to find out the true story.
Even with the blood now soaked into the ground, it was still rather gory, and he regretted taking the little girl with him.
The smell of rotting corpses was present. And it stank. It even irritated the little girls human nose.
The corpses of Naraku's underlings were already begining to rot after a week in the sun.
"Rin wants to know What happened to the man's head, Seshoumaru Sama.", asked the little girl.
Seshoumaru looked to where Rin was pointing. He was shocked at what he saw, though his expressionless face still didn't change. Naraku's head was not attached to his body.
'That would mean part of the rumors were true' he thought. Naraku had infact been decapitated, but surely not by Inuyasha's bitch. That would be impossible. Curiousit got the best of him though.
"Hes dead Rin, now be quiet and don't move.", he said. Rin froze in her spot and didn't utter a word as Seshoumaru walked over to the foul smelling corpse of Naruko.
Seshoumaru looked at the arrow in the demons chest. He lent over and smelled it. It smelt of Inuyasha's wench..'So.. she did play some part in his death..but surely she didn't decapitate him..'.Still, he couldn't stand not knowing. He picked up the head of Naruku by the filthy and blood matted hair. He brought the head up to his face and stared at the dead eyes, then, he bent his head and sniffed where the nect had been ripped from the rest of the body.
The neck still smelt faintly of Inuyasha's mate. Of course, she could have just grabbed the now dead Naruko's neck..but..that seemed rather unlikely that she would grab his neck and live to tell about it.
So what did that mean? Had the human killed him? He didn't know, and he had to figure it out, that left him with only one option. One that would degrade him to no end. That would be his last resort. He would not do THAT! His reputation had already been damaged enough with that horrible nickname..
He dropped the head in disgust and walked back to Rin.
"Come Rin, you may walk and talk again.", he said, adding the last bit from a previous experience.
And they left, to go find something out about the battle, without resorting to ...THAT...
*************************
Wow..look, another chapter..another one soon.
Favorite reviewers are still Bubbles and Kaylana and Lyndz. *sends them each an imagianary rotting Naruko head, for them to treasure and love forever*
And yes, I realize I mispell a lot, and yes, I realize that Naraku is mispelled half the time. However, I do not have a spell check, and, well, sorry about spelling Naraku as Naroku..oops..
Okie..bye now..
