The Wrath of a Demon
Chapter 9 - Saying Goodbye
Sesshoumaru ran through the forest, trying to push that sorrowful look of Inuyasha's face out of his mind. Never before had he seen his brother so upset over anything. For some reason, it troubled him. It was because of the girl, Kagome's death, by his hands. He stopped abruptly. Her blood soaked his entire body. The scent of hers, mixed along with other human's blood, almost sickened Sesshoumaru. He knew the fact that he was a murderer from the start, but this...this was way too much, even for him.
"Why...?" He stared at his hand, the now almost dried blood covering it. His body was shaking. To say the truth, he was afraid, afraid of himself and what he had become. His eyes widened and he stared at his feet, down at the floor.
"Now I understand..." After seeing what he did to Kagome, he knew what was going on. He now knew that is was he who killed all those villages, and mortally injured that wolf demon. This had happened before, when he was younger. But...back then, he killed for revenge. Was it the same now? Was this more evil and demonic version of him the same way it was when it had happened when he still lived with his father? If it was, then it seemed much worse now than it was then.
"No, it can't be..." It was impossible. He had been freed from that curse long before, but....that's all it could be. Why did it suddenly come back to him? He had been fine for many past years, and even the thought of this never crossed his mind. He looked into the sky, and sighed deeply.
"Mother..why did you do this to me?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha waded out in the cold water near the roaring falls. In his arms he held the body of Kagome, limp and lifeless. He looked into the sky as he watched Sango leave with Miroku on Kilala. Miroku's condition was terrible, for he had sucked in too much of the poison into his wind tunnel. Inuyasha knew that Miroku's chance for survival was slim if they did not get him to Kaede quickly. If Miroku died as well as Kagome, Inuyasha knew that he and Sango would not be able to stand up against Sesshoumaru.
Right now, he had lost all fighting spirit to avenge Kagome's death. He brushed his hand against her face. All he wanted was for her to return to him, and for her colorless face too have life in it again. Nothing felt right without Kagome by his side. He didn't even care about what had happened to Sesshoumaru anymore. Kagome was gone, and so was his soul, his life. When she died, it seemed as though Sesshoumaru pierced his heart as well, and he died as well. One tear fell from one of his golden eyes as he rested her upon the surface of the water, his hands still holding her gently.
"Kagome, I did love you.....and I still do." He was never able to sustain his true feelings for his friend until now, but it was too late. He bent down and rested his lips gently upon hers. When he pulled away, more crystal-like tears streamed down his cheeks, and made small ripples in the water of the small lake. He took his hands from underneath Kagome and watched mournfully as her body sank slowly to the deep depths of the water.
Inuyasha stepped out from the lake, his body slightly shaking from his great sorrow. He started heading out towards the village that Kaede lived, but had to take one last look at the waterfall. It wasn't as lively as it usually was, but quieter and had less motion. Sighing, he turned back around and headed towards the direction of Sango and Miroku.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango had rushed into Kaede's hut and gotten Miroku to her as quickly as she could. There was no way that Sango was going to let Miroku go. They had already lost one, and it would be unbearable if another was lost in the same day. Right now, she sat in a tree right outside the hut, tears brimming her eyes.
"Hey Sango!" She heard the voice of the young fox demon, and closed her eyes tightly. How could she tell him what had happened to Kagome? He looked up to Kagome more than anybody else did. It would even be hard to tell Koga, who was also still here. He had recovered a lot from his wounds, but he was still unable to go back to his wolf pack.
"Sango...?" Shippo was confused. Sango just sat there, staring into space, as if in a trance. Shippo turned when he heard Koga walking towards him. Koga was just as confused as Shippo.
"Hey where's the mutt and Kagome," he asked her. She did not answer, but instead dropped down from the tree. They both waited for her to talk, but she remained silent.
"Hey Inuyasha!" Shippo had seen the hanyou slowly walk towards the hut. Shippo waved to him with a smile on his face, but that smile soon fell when he realized that Kagome was not with him. He was even more shocked to see Inuyasha's tear-streaked face. Koga was just as surprised.
"Inuyasha..?" He questioned the half demon as he walked towards them. Something wasn't right.
"Where's Kagome," the wolf demon asked. Inuyasha and Sango's faces grew even more melancholy.
"Kagome is...." Sango started, but couldn't finish, for her voice cracked, and she couldn't bear to talk anymore. Inuyasha stood there, his eyes glued to the floor, not speaking at all. Koga's eyes widened and he put his hand up to his face, for he knew what had happened. Shippo however, was still confused.
"Lord Sesshoumaru killed her...didn't he," the voice of the small girl Rin spoke out to all of them. Shippo's eyes widened with shock, and after he looked back at Inuyasha, he knew that the terrible news was true. His face became sorrowful, and he ran from the scene, too saddened to listen to what the young human had to say. Rin's solemn face looked at them all.
"Rin saw everything. She's been seeing these things in her dreams. Rin didn't believe that her dreams were true...until now. Now she knows that Lord Sesshoumaru killed Kagome, killed all those villages, and almost killed Rin," she explained to them. They all stared at her as closed her eyes, turned, and walked back into the fog, not saying anymore.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha sat alone on the hill that was near the Bone Eater's well. He had been there since he had returned, and no one had heard him speak since then either. Nobody bothered to come to him, for they knew that his, and their grief was too great. This was good for him, because all he wanted was to be alone, and to have Kagome back, so he could tell her how he truly felt. But he knew that could never be true, and he didn't want to let her go.
Rin came up from behind Inuyasha, her small steps picking up little sound, but enough for Inuyasha to hear them. She had worked up the courage to try and talk to the hanyou, get him out of his stage of depression, or so that's what it seemed. He did not move as she sat next to him, in a way Kagome would have. She looked at him with mournful eyes, but it wasn't for Kagome, it was for him. Rin was saddened that Inuyasha would give up on everything so easily. This wasn't the Inuyasha that she came to know. Although that Inuyasha had Kagome at his side, he would still never give up as easily as this.
"Would she want Inuyasha to be like this?" Inuyasha snapped out of his trance and started at the girl. Rin looked at him sternly.
"Kagome would not want Inuyasha to be like this. She would want Inuyasha to do something before more people get killed," she told him, confidence in her voice. He still stared at her, but her words rung through his mind.
"She wouldn't," Rin smiled a little when she heard him talk for the first time since he came back.
"That's right. All of us are upset because of Kagome's death, but that will not stop Rin, or anybody else, from continuing their journey's or give up hope and everything that we have come to accomplish and believe in. Hopefully that will not stop Inuyasha," she said to him as she stood.
Inuyasha watched as she walked back to Kaede's hut. The small girl reminded him of Kagome, her determination and strength. He stood as a small smile appeared on his face, and he retreated back to the hut as well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
BL: well, now Rin is back into the story.
Rin: Yay! Rin is happy!
BL: well, I know Inuyasha may seem a little OOC in this chappy, but I believe that if Kagome did die, he would have a reaction similar to that....or perhaps it would be something completely opposite. ^__~ Rin probably seemed OOC in this too, because she sounded kind of understanding and smart at the end.
Rin: I feel smart! *picks up a book and starts reading it*
Inuyasha: -_-'''''''
BL: oh and I wanted to tell you guys that the whole Inuyasha putting Kagome in the water thing, I got that from Final Fantasy VII, so whoever has played that should know what I'm talking about.
Rin: remember to review!
BL see ya!
