The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 27-
Much More Closer to Death
It's already been 4 days since they have gotten Naraku's so called news. It's a fresh Monday and Kagome was at school. Knowing that everybody else would be at her house doing the big training. She just hoped that they already started for today.
The whole class was reading a book on "Feudal Japan." Everyone liked it so far, but Kagome is the only one ahead of the class because she's a fast reader. She got to the part where a demon was pinned to a tree by a maiden. And that the maiden died after that, she thought it was sad because those two were in love.
She hadn't noticed she shed a tear while she had her eyes closed. A few students have noticed that and knew she was farther then them. So that means they can't wait to reach where she is. That makes them more in to the book then ever!
The bell rang and everybody put their books in their bags and walked out of their classroom. Kagome took awhile to realize her tear, she wiped it as soon she found it on her cheek and so put her book in her bag and headed to the door.
"Ms. Higurashi?"
Kagome turned around and saw her teacher standing behind her. The teacher had a worried look on her face and Kagome was wondering why.
"Do we need to get your eyes examine?" Asked her teacher.
"No, why?" Answered Kagome with a question.
"Do you remember that test we had a while back? Something about demons existing..."
"I remember..."
"I'm just wondering if that was true...about you actually seeing demons around your house. Or maybe they just like to hang around at your house..."
"You know, I just remember something. The night before the test, I had a dream that night that there were actually demons living at my house. I thought it was real so I guess I was reliving my dream."
"That sometimes could happen...Okay, you can go home now!"
Kagome smiled and nodded at her teacher and ran off home. That was close! It's a good thing she made up that dream story. She did have to lie again in order to keep this demon thing a secret. But of course, somebody will find out one day.
*~*~
"Again Boatpo!" Commanded Inuyasha.
"Do I have to?" Asked Shippo.
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Don't you remember a couple of days ago!? I said we won't stop until I say so! And you all agreed on that so stop complaining!!"
"Fine!" Shippo continued to burn the flowers. Inuyasha was trying to make his fire spread out more so it can cover more ground if he has to fight Naraku by himself. He's getting a little better by just getting a little push. But then Shippo stopped and just fell on his little butt.
"Fine! Take a 5 min. break and that's it!"
Shippo sighed in relief and was happy to at least to take a break from trying to burn flowers for 2 hours. But he was kind of getting worried. He turned to face Inuyasha but he found him on his knee, clenching on his kimono, where his heart is. Is he having trouble breathing? Is he gonna die sooner?
"Inuyasha...? Are you alright?" Asked Shippo.
"I'm fine! J-Just fine!" Answered Inuyasha.
"I don't think so! You only have 4 more days to live. And we fight Naraku in 3 days!"
"So?"
"So that means you have 4 days to live!" Shippo noticed Inuyasha was breathing faster then ever. Life is just short, and he's losing every minute of it. Now he was starting to get worried. "You're...not dying now, are you?"
"No, not yet! But soon I will!"
"But what about Kagome!? She's going to be all alone if you die!"
"If you don't want that then tell her to say those 3 words to me!"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing! I would at least thought the person who I would fall in love with has to love me back! But Kagome seems like she's not the person to love at a young age."
"But aren't you guys a couple?"
"What!?"
"Well, you have kissed her a couple of times and you do sleep in her room which means you probably sleep with her too, right?"
"No!"
"Yeah! Whatever! Just admit it! You have slept with her and you want to sleep with her more, don't you!?"
Inuyasha opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He...not really want to sleep with her. He wanted a child from her that has his flesh and blood. Maybe not....because, then maybe the curse would be passed down to the child and maybe the child will die in 2 months too.
He would marry her but then that won't be so much of a honeymoon, so that plan is crossed out. When did he fall in love with her again? Whenever that was, he should've asked her to marry him at that time. But the thing is, he almost had his chance on the night of his birthday. That planned was smashed into pieces and it was all ruined by Kagome. He doesn't blame her though.
Hey! Where is Miroku and Sango when you need them? Who knows where they are, they're probably stuck somewhere or Sango is trapped in the arms of the perverted monk.
"Where are they?" Asked Inuyasha.
Shippo knew who he was talking about. "Don't know! Miroku told me he was going to do something."
Yup! Something to trap Sango in his arms all right. "Like what?"
"He told me he was going to propose to her. Who knows how he's going to do it. But I'm guessing he's going to get a real beating from Sango."
"I can imagine Sango doing that to him."
*~*~
"Come on Miroku! We were suppose to be in the woods at noon! But thanks to you we're 3 hrs LATE!" Said Sango.
"I'll be there! Just wait a minute!" Said Miroku.
"You said that 30 min. ago!"
"I know! I'll be right there!"
Sango was waiting at the door impatiently, tapping her foot on the ground. Miroku was looking for something in his drawer. He found it in his underwear drawer. Which is kind of a good place to hide it if you don't want a girl living there to search in there. He put it in his pocket and went to meet Sango at the door.
"Ready to go?" Questioned Sango.
"Yeah!" He put a smirk on his face, a really creepy smirk that it meant he was up to something. What was he planning exactly? She ignored that question in her head and they walked to the woods they were suppose to train.
*~*~
Kagome came with her weapons and was doing some target practice. She first shot the trees that were really close to her, after that she shot the ones that are farther away from her. She still made a perfect shot from that far of a distance.
"Keep going!" Said Inuyasha.
"What about you!? You need to train too!!" Said Kagome.
"I...don't feel like it!" Kagome saw Inuyasha's hand move to where his heart is. He put a grip on his kimono over his heart. He was breathing in and out with his eyes closed, he went to his knee. Shippo saw what was happening and was getting worried again. (_ I bet you all know what's happening, right?)
"Inuyasha...? Are...you alright?" Asked Kagome.
"I'm fine! Sometimes I have a hard time breathing!" Answered Inuyasha.
No one notice the look on Shippo's face. He knew Inuyasha is going to die soon...the curse is just giving him the pain to give him a sign that he is short on life. He never knew he actually cared for Inuyasha that much. It's like what they say: The one's you hurt is the one you love. Up until now he looks up to Inuyasha like he was his big brother. He started to run to Inuyasha, he hugged his arm and didn't want to let go.
"Inuyasha! I'm really worried about you! I'm afraid if you die!!" Said Shippo.
"What do you mean?" Asked Kagome.
Shippo just remembered Kagome doesn't know about the curse so he made up a lie. "I think he's having a heart attack!"
He closed his eyes to cry to show he cares. Inuyasha saw his tears dropping to the grass. Since he was dying in 4 days, he realized he was going to miss everybody...all the fights, the battles, the great times they had.
Inuyasha put his hand on Shippo's back and started to rub it. He's just a little kid and he knew he would miss Shippo even though he is a pain-in-the- butt!
"Don't worry about me kid." He leaned his head forward to whisper something in his ear. "(Just in case I die, I want you to take care of Kagome for me!)"
"(I will....)"
"What are you guys whispering about?" Asked Kagome.
"Nothing much!" Said Inuyasha, who was able to stand up after a few mintues. "I feel a little better now. All right, I'll train."
"Maybe not...you should rest up! You might get this pain in your chest again!" Said Kagome.
"[She's that worried about me? Well, after I kissed her a couple of times, she would be able to care about me and worry a whole lot!] No...I'll be fine!" said Inuyasha.
"No! I'm not going to let you train!!"
"I haven't even started to train! The only thing I did was making sure you guys train!!"
"You can train tomorrow if you feel better!"
"I'm not going to train tomorrow! I'm going to train right now!!"
"You're probably going to have more pain in your chest then you do now if you train!"
"Does it look like I care about that!?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't want you to pass out or something like that! You passed out on me to many times to count which got me really worried!!"
"I either train or die right away from Naraku's attack!"
"You rest right now!!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!!"
"YES!!"
"NO!!"
"YES!!"
"NO!!"
"YES!!"
"NO!!"
"YES!!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!"
They kept saying the same word for a while. Shippo started to walk away from them, pretending he doesn't know either of them. That's when Sango and Miroku arrived to the scene, catching it just in time to see Kagome and Inuyasha fighting again.
"Did we miss it?" Asked Sango.
"Yup! You missed all of it!" Answered Shippo.
"Not the fight...I mean the training."
"You missed all of that too!"
"Just when I was looking forward to it! It's all your fault Monk!!"
"Me!?" Questioned Miroku.
"Yes, you! You wanna know why!? Because you were taking to long!!!!!!!!"
Inuyasha and Kagome stopped fighting to hear what Sango has to say to her love one or in other words...her soulmate! They see Sango pointing a finger at him saying all kinds of things about if they have been there sooner.
"What were you doing anyway!? Picking out what kind of underwear to wear for training!?" Asked Sango.
"Not...exactly..." answered Miroku.
"Then what were you doing!?"
"I was looking for something."
"And what will that be!?"
"This..." He took it out of his pocket. It was a case...of what? He open the case and Sango gasped when she saw it. A ring...he bought a ring? Sango didn't want to think about anything...why did he had to do this now just a few days before they face Naraku one last time?
Sango saw him went on one knee and held her hand. Her heart was beating so fast she couldn't breathe. Her face was blushing so red that everybody could see it. Why did it have to happen now!?
"Sango..."
"[This is it...the end of my nightmare! The end of my life...for good!]"
"I may have said this once before, but I do love you with all my heart. And I respect your decisions that you have made so far..."
"[So far...?]"
"And now I want to ask..." He took the ring out of the case. "Sango...will you marry me?"
That did it...Sango exploded! Her heart was beating rapidly...she was scared to death. She didn't know what to do. It was too much! All these weeks she has been living with this perverted Monk, and NOW he asks her to marry him!! She asked herself: Do you love him?
"YES!!!" What did she just say? She didn't mean to say that, she meant to answer her question that was in her head! She's in trouble!
"Really?"
Sango looked at him with hope in his eyes. "Yes..." He smiled happily and put the ring on her left ring finger. Suddenly, she felt a little happy.
While the others...the couldn't believe it. They were confused...no not confused! THEY WERE SHOCKED!!! Since when did Miroku bought the ring anyway? Well, Miroku was very happy and Sango was semi-happy. But she felt like it was the right thing to do for some reason. Who knows what that reason is.
They imagine their wedding...are they going to elope and never come back? Nah...that won't happen. That'll never happen....they would never runaway...would they?
