Steel Blade Of Loneliness

Chapter 3
I came home riding on the bus and a few blocks walking when I saw a figure of red sitting in a nearby tree on the way to my house. I stopped and looked closer with my tired eyes and saw Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, you can come down now, because I see you." I teased him while he jumped down red in the cheeks. He came over to me and I hugged him close whispering questions about his and Shippo's day. He just ignored them and took in the pleasure of having me close once again. "Kagome, can we go out tonight-just the two of us? I have something to tell you." He pulled away from the warm hug and I nodded. "Of course, let's just go back so I can clean up for tonight. So where's Shippo?" At once something small fell out of the tree Inuyasha had been sitting in. "INUYASHA!! OWW!!!" Shippo cried rubbing his sore butt.
I ran over to him and picked him up into my arms balancing some of the work I took home. "What were you doing in that tree Shippo-chan?" i patted down his messy hair. He pouted at me, "Inuyasha left me up there and didn't take me down with him. And when you were about to walk away I had to try to get down but-I FELL!!!" He started to cry into my shirt. I looked at Inuyasha whitsiling a few feet away and he keeps on inching away. I smiled at him and then looked down at the crying fox. "Oh, Shippo-chan, he didn't mean it, he was going to get you-but you fell off first. But it's ok, You can go home and rest while I go out with him and we'll have a 'talk'. Okay?" He looked up with a gleam in his eyes, and smiled knowingly at me. "Make him pay Kagome." Shippo whisipered; Inuyasha's ears twitched slightly at her response to the 'supposedily' secret. "Oh, I'll make him pay..." I giggled and began walking towards my boyrfriend and off they went to the Shrine to drop off Shippo.
"Oh, you're going out tonight? What about Shippo?" My mother asked as soon as Shippo was set in bed-asleep. "He's sleeping, if he needs something he can get it. So why do you ask? Were you planning on something?" I asked grabbing a new pair of more comfortable clothes and waited for her reply. "Oh, it can wait till tomorrow. Kay have fun and be good now." She winked at me. "MOTHER!" I gasped. She laughed her way out of my room. I can not believe she thinks of that. I went in the bathroom and changed quickly grabbed a few bucks from my dresser on my way out and ran down the stairs and right into Inuyasha.
"Owff." I hitted him straight on. He was offguard talking to my mom. "Kagome-you alright?" He asked after gaining his balance. I was about to grab onto the stairpole when Inuyasha lifted me into his arms. "Inuyasha...put me down..."I made wide eyes at him; because mother was right there. "No, bye Mrs. Higuarashi. We're going to a place of my choice." And with that he flitted out of the house and from then on-he never touched the ground and I kept shrieking, he never did this before_ever_!
"OKay, we're here." Inuyasha declared setting me down on solid ground. I looked around and then tried to name the place but couldn't. "So here is where exactly?" I asked straightening my clothes. He took my right arm and pulled me after him not answering my question. I was smart to wear tennis shoes with my skirt or I would have a broken heel or even an ankle. "What's the hurry? We have all night." I said and then he stopped again-making me bump into his back. He stepped aside and let me see. The sight brought tears to my eyes. I was truly happy that I saw this place again but- I was caught between the grief that hung to it. Inuyasha just silently watched my reaction to the side.
"I remember..." I whispered as i advance towards the little clearing. I saw a little house built on the tree and one on the bottom. I went to the one on the bottom tracing the outline of the-now moldy-door. Then I traced the sign on it after clearing away a few leaves and plants growing on it. "Sota's TreeHouse." I read and tears fell to the ground as I proceeded to open the door. I had to crawl in but i didn't mind, I used to have to crawl too. The space was very big inside, only a few of his personal belongings stayed behind since we moved to a different house. Inuyasha squatted at the door looking at what I am doing, but I no longer cared if I was dirty now, this---used to be---- "Souta's and My secret hideout." I held my hand to my mouth covering it from the wracking sobs that was coming out from me. I didn't knoe memories provoked such horrible reactions.
"Kagome-I'm sorry-I shouldn't have brought you here. I just thought you might like to remember the good times you shared with Souta." Inuyasha reached for me as i stared at him. A weak but surely a smile was on my face. "No, thank-you. I needed this. I really did, I....really...did." I curled up on the ground crying-but I didn't know why. Was it because I was happy? Or was I sad? I just didn't care I needed to cry now and here. After a few minutes passed I was still crying Inuyasha decided to come in and take me out. Once I was in his arms out of Souta's little hideout I asked him something. "Can...you take me to my hideout?" I asked as he wiped the remaining tears on my face. He nodded and with a leap we were on the branch that was located in front of the door. This house was a lot taller than the one on the bottom. But inside had very little space.
"OK, but we're only staying for a little while. I just don't want you to-" I silenced him with a quick kiss and went in the place. It was all girly like. Most of my items remained. As I recall I had a bruised ankle when we were packing to move. No one knew how to climb a tree but me, and Souta knew-it's just that I didn't want him to put himself in danger-so we left leaving my toys, diaries, pictures, some clothes behind in here. I went over to the little dresser and picked up a toy jewelry piece. Souta had found it and gave it to me, it was the my most favorite necklace-but I didn't tell him that.
"Kagome?" I heard a distant but all to familiar voice. I turned towards the window (or what is supposed to be one) and looked down. I couldn't believe my eyes, did they betray me? I saw Souta standing down there waving a hand telling me to come down and play with him. It couldn't possibly be. I blinked several times and still he was there. He was the same brother I loved, but something was amiss but i didn't let that bother me as I flew past Inuyasha and jumped down and I think I broke my ankle but I couldn't care less since Souta began running towards the Shrine without me.
"SOUTA!!! WAIT!!!" I screamed running the best I could with a possible fatal injury. Inuyasha was following me as he must have sniff the blood that began to trickle down my foot. He didn't say anything but i saw the look of confusuion on his face. Didn't he see Souta there? Was he so into me mourning that he couldn't pick up my brother's scent? Who the hell cares, I need to catch up with Souta and fast!!!
"Kagome! Your injured! Stop running!!!" Inuyasha ordered me but I just kept going still seeing a faint but still seeable figure of him. "What is wrong with you wench!" Inuyasha roughly pulled me by my arm flinging me back to the ground stopping at a fence. He gasped at his own strength but I didn't feel anything. Because I was crying over my brother running away from me.
"I'm so sorry. Are you hurt Kagome?" Inuyasha walked over-no-ran over to me and helped me to my feet. I had to hold onto him for support as my willpower just sank and I began to notice I could not wlak right any longer. "What happened?" He questioned me as I wiped my tears and we walked the rest of the way back to the Shrine. "I saw him-didn't you?" "Saw who?" Again with the confused look. "DOn't act dumb-Souta that's who. I saw him right on the ground and he was telling me to go play with him and once I was on the ground he began to run away from me." I explained still seeing the confused gold eyes stare at me unbelievingly. "You mean you didn't see?" "I saw no one, smell no one, felt no one there but us." I let me head fall my bangs covering my eyes. "Oh..." And then I let darkness engulf me as I heard Inuyasha panickly saying my name. "Sou...ta..." I coughed out with blood. Inuyasha then took hold of me and rushed back to the house and got me needed medical attention.
"Inuyasha, you did say you brought her near our old house before her father inherited the shrine?" Kagome's mother questioned me. I nodded once again, trying my best not to reveal the secret of her old hideouts and of the mishap of seeing Souta. "Inuyasha is Kagome going to be okay?" Shippo cried into my chest. I rubbed his head fatherly and nodded trying to reassure him and myself. Kagome was coughing blood when she blacked out, plus her ankle was swollen and also bloody. What was it that she saw, because Souta was still very much alive-could it be? No it couldn't, could it? Could it be one of Naraku's wooden puppet?
"Inu...yasha?" Kagome blinked a couple of times and tried to sit up. I quickly ran to her side with Shippo clutching onto my t-shirt I had put on recently. "Kagome, you alright?" I asked as I sat behind her supporting her up. Shr cringed as she touched her ankle that was puffy right now. "I'll be okay, so tell me, was it really him there?" She looked at me knowing I knew the answer. "No, I think-it's a possibility-that he that you saw wasn't the real he, but a demon puppet." She stiffened as I think realization hit her. "You mean---Naraku is behind all this?" I smelt the on coming tears, the salty-ness I needed not from any women much less from my Kagome. "I was planning to tell you tonight as we sat under the stars, but it has come to this, your family must know of it too." "KNow of what inuyasha?" She grabbed my arm clear drops dripping from her face onto the blanket.
"Souta's...dead....but alive...very much alive...."
A/N: I'm ending there so hah! Okay not really ending there but ending there? You know? *Silence reign* OKay maybe you don't know but anyways I stop it right here and then it'll make you read the next chapter as result and more reviews right? Okay review plaese and flmaes are allowed but I really couldn't care less. I know I have grammar problems and spelling and maybe the plot is a bit hard to follow but if you stick with me in the end you'll come out happy. I think I'll proabably end this story abrutly like at the 8th chapter not sure now. Anyways I'm already starting on my 4th chapter and you don't need to worry so I'll update as soon as I can. Bye!! Oh and neeed any ideas to add in the story too thanks for reading!!!
