The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 26-
Naraku's News
"I think it's time to give out the news..." said Naraku. He stood up at his hideout walking out of his hideout to go visit someone. "He only has one week and one day left..."
*~*~
"This isn't good!" Said Shippo. Miroku, Sango and him were in the living waiting for Kagome to come downstairs. Inuyasha was on the roof enjoying to view of the sky. "Inuyasha only has a week and a day left to live!! When is Kagome going to say those 3 words!?"
"Who knows!? Probably after he's dead!" Said Sango.
"Besides, even if Inuyasha told her about the curse, he probably won't tell her EVERYTHING about the curse. We all know Kagome loves Inuyasha and Inuyasha loves Kagome. This is stupid!" Said Miroku.
"Yup! They didn't even confess their love towards each other..." said Sango.
"Even if they did, they probably would get into another fight before they even confess..." said Shippo sadly.
"Then we need something to bring them together!!" Said Miroku. Sango and Shippo looked at him.
"What do you have planned?" Asked Sango.
"I don't know yet!" Answered Miroku.
"Great...back to the drawing board!" They all were thinking on how to get Inuyasha and Kagome alone...really alone so no one can bother them. Except for them so they can spy on them...Hee-hee!
Sango was sitting at the table, with both of her elbows on the table while her chin rests in her hands. Shippo was laying on the table and Miroku was laying on the couch. He almost fell asleep about every 5 minutes. Kirara was plain bored and just fell asleep on Sango's lap.
Miroku was thinking about to lead them to the bathroom so they both can take a bath together. But he knew he would get a REAL beating from Inuyasha. (_ What a pervert!! A BUTA PERVERT!!)
Shippo was thinking on to lead them in the woods but then he thought Naraku might appear again. It's not even lunch yet so what can he do?
Sango thought of everything. Where does Kagome like...Where does Inuyasha like...Which place would they like to eat together? Maybe at the house...Wait!
"I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING!!" Shouted Sango. Miroku was wide awake and Shippo sat up. They gave her a look which is telling her what do you planned!?
For the next 5 minutes, Sango was whispering to them. About how to do it, when to do it, what should go along with it. It sounds like the Higurashi Family is going to help too...
"Well?" Questioned Sango.
"It's a good plan!!" Said Shippo and Miroku.
*~*~
Kagome was shopping for food with Inuyasha. Of course, he has a little baseball hat to cover up his dog ears. Kagome was wearing a pretty dress...but to Inuyasha, it looked beautiful on her. The dress had a rose over her chest...nice and black...it was enough to cover her thighs.
They went to this food store to buy there favorite food and to see what they're going to have for dinner. Everybody was staring at them...thinking they're a married couple. They thought it was sweet that they're shopping together.
But Inuyasha was tired of walking. He was getting annoyed by the people staring at him because he was wearing a red kimono. Some of them were even whispering on why he wears that kimono. Maybe because he's a writer, maybe a Kimono Festival is around the corner or something else...like maybe a monk.
"Hmm...maybe have some kimchi, more rice, some soba, what else?" Questioned Kagmoe. She put her finger on her chin to look around, thinking on what she also needs.
"How about some ramen?" Asked Inuyasha.
Kagome turned her head to Inuyasha. She found him standing behind her with his arms crossed over his chest like it always was. She smiled and nodded.
"What kind of ramen?"
"Hmm...chicken...beef..."
"The meet ingredients, of course!"
She grabbed 2 from each and put it in her cart. She was hoping she had enough money to pay for the food. Her mom did gave her 5,000 Yen after all so it should be enough. It was enough but there was a lot of bags...Inuyasha wanted to carry 4 bags and so that left Kagome to carry 2. She wanted to carry one more bag so it can be even but he didn't want her to carry a lot.
Like carrying 3 bags will be a lot! Please!!
When they got home, no one was there. It was so silent...Kagome thought that wasn't good. She went to the kitchen to put the food away. Inuyasha followed her and did the same, except he asked her where the stuff goes. It sounds like they're married already, don't you think?
"I'm SO glad you are home!!" Said Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome stopped what she was doing (putting the plastic bags away) and looked at her mother. For some reason, she had a happy smile. She went to Inuyasha and put her hands on his shoulders. "Inuyasha, son-in-law, come to the living with my dear Kagome!"
"[Son-in-law!? What the heck is she thinking!? I'm not going to marry Inuyasha...yet!]" Said Kagome. Of course, she wants to marry Inuyasha one day...It would be a dream come true! She saw her mother drag Inuyasha to the living room, she followed them. But they were both shocked when they found what's in the living room.
It was a big lunch...with their favorite food. Who planned this!? Probably Miroku, Sango and Shippo...actually this looks like Miroku's idea, but then again, it could be Sango...Shippo is too young....
The only choice was...Sango...
"Mom...? Where is everybody else?" Asked Kagome.
"They went home!" Answered Mrs. Higurashi.
"Shippo...? Home? But he lives here, not with Miroku and Sango!"
"Ah...he decided to move! He said he...wasn't getting enough attention so he moved out! Miroku's apartment is smaller so I guess it suits him."
"(It does not suit me!)" Said Shippo. They were hiding in the kitchen. Maybe they ran in the kitchen after Mrs. Higurashi dragged them out. "(Why does she have to make up a lie!?)"
"(Who knows! At least she didn't tell them where we are! You better not change into one of us again!)" Said Sango.
"(We don't want another misunderstanding with everybody!)" Said Miroku.
"(Fine! You guys always ruin the fun! Old people...they don't let you have fun!)" Said Shippo.
"(Old people!?)" Said Sango and Miroku.
Shippo squeaked a little when he saw shadows covering him. He didn't like the look in Miroku's and Sango's eyes. He's in trouble once again...
Meanwhile....
"All right, you two! I'll leave you guys alone so you can finish your lunch!" Mrs. Higurashi stood very close to Inuyasha and whispered into one of his dog ears. "(Go ahead and ask her to marry you!)" Then she left them in the living room with the big lunch. She put her hands together like she was praying, she smiled happily. "[I can't wait to have grand children!]"
Does she really want them to have children that bad??? If that's a yes, then she's impatient!
Inuyasha and Kagome sat across from each other at the table, eating their food. There's a nice big stake, Kagome suggested for her to cut it in half so they can both have it. She asked Inuyasha to pass the knife, and he did.
"Who do you think planned all this?" Asked Kagome.
"I'm thinking it's either Miroku or Sango! Either one, I'm going to kill them!" Answered Inuyasha.
Sango and Miroku stopped pinching and pulling Shippo's cheek and gulped when they heard Inuyasha said that. They didn't pay attention to Shippo because they wanted to listen more of the conversation. Shippo listened more of it too.
"That's not nice! They're just trying to do their 'plan' like they always do!" Said Kagome.
"They've been doing this over and over again! I'm getting tired of it!" Said Inuyasha.
"I don't care if you're getting tired of it, because it's funny when we catch them doing the plans!"
"I don't care if it is funny, I'm just getting tired of it! So maybe this time I'll give them a couple of bruises for them to remember not to do this again!"
Miroku, Sango and Shippo nodded to themselves. They should've known they were going to fight. But they didn't expect to fight about Miroku and Sango.
"Can you stop complaining about them!?" Asked Kagome.
"I will stop complaining about them once they stop creating these stupid plans!" Answered Inuyasha.
"They're not stupid! They're-Ow!" Kagome dropped the knife on the table. Inuyasha saw what happened. She was holding her hand close to her chest. She cut the top of her hand with the knife. Maybe she was too busy fighting with him that she didn't pay any attention to what she was doing with the knife.
It was a big cut, some of the blood dripped to the carpet. Inuyasha walked over to her to see her hand. She didn't want him to see it, but he yanked her hand so he can see it better. He made a look on his face and used his sleeve to wipe the blood off. But the blood kept coming.
He was fed up with it so he put his mouth on her cut. Kagome blushed when he put his mouth on top of her hand just because it was bleeding. It looked like he was a prince, a prince that kisses the top of the hand to show he likes her a LOT!!
She was waiting for him to get his mouth off of the top of her hand. Was he trying to suck the blood until it stopped bleeding?
"[98...99...100! Is he going to stop now!?]"
Finally, he lift up his head to look at her. There was a little tiny bit of blood on his lips. She grabbed a napkin and wiped it off while he was still holding her hand. He put her hand on the floor and grabbed a part of his sleeve. He put his teeth on it, and put his hands on it too. It started to pull on different ends. He tear his kimono sleeve and used it to wrap around her hand.
When it was getting to the end, he made a knot on top of her hand, he made a tight knot.
"Maybe later you can clean it with Sango..." said Inuyasha.
"I don't want to clean it..." said Kagome.
"But it'll get an infection."
"I don't care...I deserve it for not paying attention to what I'm doing."
"Fine...but I'm still going to kill Miroku and Sango!"
"Fine! Go ahead then!!"
Miroku and Sango gulped again with fear. They knew what's going to happen to them...they're going to get a real beating from the servant of hell. Inuyasha is like the person who carrys death around...Miroku and Sango are like his victoms. Watch out!!
*Sniff!*
Kagome heard him sniffing for some reason. Something was wrong once again. Maybe he's just sniffing the smell of the food. Then again maybe not!
"What's wrong?" Asked Kagome.
"He...is coming again! That bastard, Naraku, is coming again! This time it's the real him, I can smell his scent from here!" Answered Inuyasha.
"Again...?"
"Yes! Again so get your butt up and go find the pain-in-the-butts!"
"We're already here!" Said Shippo. He jumped out of the kitchen and just stood on the floor with a smile on his face and his eyes closed. Miroku and Sango followed him, but they were embarrassed!
"You mean you were watching us!?" Quesitoned Kagome.
"Yes! Actually, Sango planned it all so we asked your mom to help us too!" Said Shippo. (_ Note-to-self! Never let the kid do ALL the talking!)
"Well here's the thing, all 3 of you are going to get punished by ME later!!" Said Inuyasha with a tone of warning. They three of them made a face, they are going to get a REAL beating tonight!
*~*~
"That little bastard...he better come out! Thanks to my new body I'm able to travel here by myself!" Said Naraku. He was standing outside of Kagome's house with his little costume! He had a big smile on his face. Maybe he can't wait to give out his news. But what is the news???
Naraku heard the door flung open, he saw Inuyasha came out of the house first and then the rest of them came out. He made an even bigger smile to sort of greet Inuyasha.
"I thought I killed your body..." said Inuyasha.
"You did...but time went by and my body recovered thanks to Kanna," said Naraku.
"You mean that ghostly girl with the HAUNTED mirror?"
"Yes...she did took a few souls away from some people and send them to me. She just doesn't steel reflections...she steals souls too. But the souls go into her mirror...clever, don't you think? Hiding the souls in the mirror so no one will ever know she did that. She also send part of her soul to help my body too."
"[He's saying that some people already died before Kanna even came!? How dare he and Kanna!]"
"I would kill you now but I'll wait until next week..."
"Why next week?"
"Because...next week will be the last week for you guys to live. You only have one week to prepare to face me! Our fight will be at the moutains behind that house!"
Kagome flinched when he said that. She didn't want it to be there. Why did it had to be there? Why can't it be somewhere else? Anywhere but there!
"[One week...it's Thursday...So that means a day before I die...Thursday is my last day...to fight!]"
"[You got that right...Inuyasha...]" He's reading his mind!?
"[What!? Why you...!]"
"[On the day of your death, when the sun rises and becomes a Friday morning...you will die.]"
"[At the very second the sun rises on the Friday morning...I die...it'll be all over for me.]"
"That's all the things I would like to say...See you next week...the day your fate will be decided..."
His body disappeared. Everybody was confused...actually, Kagome was the only one confused. She never knew why Naraku wants to kill Inuyasha so much. She will ask them later.
For the past few hours, no one said a word about the little visit Naraku made. It was like the whole world has come to an end and everybody blames themselves for that. But it wasn't that at all.
Inuyasha didn't say anything until the next morning. Which he had his heart set to. They all knew he had a plan...well maybe not a plan but something to get them ready for the final battle that is coming to their faces.
"We're going to train...And we won't take a break until I say so!"
Let the training begin....good luck to them. And may their souls be taken care of.
