The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 28-
Wish Upon a Star
Tomorrow early in the morning, they'll be setting out for the mountains that is behind Kagome's house to fight Naraku. But when that day is over, and the sun rises Inuyasha will die. But the only person who doesn't know that is Kagome...No one hasn't told her yet.
Inuyasha was in the bathroom for some reason. Maybe remembering the time he accidently barged in there because of Shippo and saw Kagome in the bathtub. But something happened to his mind....it went back in time to remember what his mother said about something about....something!
*********Flashback!**********
"Listen well, Inuyasha....you have to know that you have to tell the truth no matter if it hurts the one you love or not," said his mother.
"Why...?" Asked Little Inuyasha.
"Because there's no reason to lie...there never was. There is also no reason to keep the truth inside you because you might explode."
"You mean all sorts of blood will come out of my body if I explode?"
"No...I mean that you might spill out the truth and you might hurt someone worse then you thought."
"So I have to tell the WHOLE truth?"
"Yes...."
"I think it's a good thing you pointed that out. You know how me and dad said we were going to go fishing?"
"Yes...what did you do?"
"We went to kill some demons!"
"WHAT!?"
****************End Flashback**************
That gave him a migrane headache. It was one of the reasons his mother was killed by a demon. He didn't want to think about that anymore. So he left the bathroom and met Kagome in the hall. She was very confused when she saw him came out of the bathroom.
"Something wrong?" Asked Kagome.
"No, nothings wrong...right now," answered Inuyasha.
"What do you mean?"
"It's about tomorrow." Hardly have any time now. He has today...tomorrow...he didn't know what to do once tomorrow has come.
"Do you want to talk about anything?"
"Like what?"
"Like...what should we do IF we beat Naraku tomorrow."
"Don't say if...we WILL beat Naraku tomorrow!! I KNOW we will beat him."
"Okay...after we beat Naraku tomorrow, what do you want to do?"
"Maybe die a painful death..."
"What?"
"Nothing...What do you want to do?"
"Maybe hang out more often...."
"Don't you think we hang out enough...?"
"Huh...? You mean....you don't want to hang out with me anymore?" She started to have tears in her eyes. She put her finger under her eye to get ready to wipe away the tear once it comes rolling down her cheek.
"Huh? Wait!" Kagome started to run downstairs sheding the tears and some of it flew off of her face and landed on the floor. He has hurt Kagome once again. How come he keeps doing that to her? He keeps hurting her with the words that come out of his mouth. Maybe this is what his mother meant.
But was that the truth? Was he tired of hanging out with her? He didn't know that either...but it sounded like the truth to Kagome and it hurt her even more that it came from him. All he need is some advice...someone who knew her more then anyone in this house. But who?
He started to move his feet to a room, a door closed shut. He open it and found Souta on the floor playing with his toys. Souta saw him and was confused...because Inuyasha doesn't sleep in his room anymore, Shippo does. Plus, Inuyasha hardly talks to him so why would he be in Souta's room?
Inuyasha moved his body to him and sat in front of him with his arms crossed. "Okay Souta! Give me some advice! I ACCIDENTALLY hurt Kagome again. How do I make her..."
"...forgive you?" Questioned Souta.
"Yeah! So got any advice?"
"Not really...sorry! But...you can make her like you more!"
"What are you saying?"
"Well, Shippo told me you guys are falling in love. I know tonight you have to sleep early because of tomorrow. And I wish you guys luck for it!"
"Thanks! Maybe someday you'll be a great little brother to someone."
"Wait! You didn't hear my idea!"
Souta whispered his idea to Inuyasha with excitement. Because Souta likes Inuyasha as a big brother and thinks of him that way. So if Kagome married Inuyasha, he would be happy for the rest of his life! Even when he gets married too. While he was explaining his idea to Inuyasha, he imagine Kagome and Inuyasha's wedding day....there would be cake...lots of cake! He wants the cake...he knows Shippo would be all over it so that would be his sweet tooth rival!
"Okay?" Said Souta.
"I get it! That'll help! But, how can I lead her to the roof tonight?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Just go on the roof...sooner or later she'll follow you to the top!"
"You're not bad for an 8 year-old!" Inuyasha pat Souta's head. He smiled about being helpful to his soon to be older brother. Inuyasha smiled back to him and started to rub his head. He'll miss him a little bit once he dies too.
*~*~
"This is it.......Inuyasha dies right after tomorrow when the sun comes up and it becomes a Friday..." said Miroku.
"Yeah...Kagome would be heart broken if she finds out he dies..." said Sango.
"What are we suppose to do?" Asked Shippo.
"Nothing right now...but we can't, and I repeat, WE CAN'T tell Kagome about the curse! We'll let Inuyasha tell her that," answered Miroku.
"But she HAS to know."
"I know...we all know. Including Inuyasha...all we can do is wait for Inuyasha to tell her and prepare for the battle tomorrow."
"Speaking of Kagome...where is she? She did run down here didn't she?" Questioned Sango.
"I think she ran outside....I did saw a shed of tears though," said Shippo.
"Not again! He has hurt her with his mouth again! What is wrong with him?" Said Miroku.
"We all have no idea!" Said both Sango and Shippo.
They all became silent for awhile....doing nothing but think. Once tomorrow has come...it'll like it would be the end of the world...or...about to end but need the final battle to win to recover the world once again. But in this case...to recover the world of Kagome and Inuyasha.
*~*~
Kagome was inside her well house, a few walks away from the entrance to the area of her house. He has hurt her feelings again and again. Why does it have to be this be way? She was sitting on the edge of the well, thinking about her. This was the place that her dad and her hang out secretly.
Her dad use to talk about his past, why did he marry her mom, why he loved her so much. He talked to her about guys...sometimes they can be emotional and sometimes say things they didn't meant to say. Or didn't mean to spill out the truth like that.
He always held her tight into his arms giving her the love she needed that time when she was only 7. That was the same year he died. He also told her he loves to research things...uncover mysterious...find new diseases...that's why the people at his office told him to research something in the mountains. Since he was the best one, he was sent to find dead bodies so they can put it on the news.
"Why do we have to fight in that area...in the mountains behind my house!? It's where he died..." Questioned Kagome.
She cried to herself thinking about the death of her father. She saw it herself...she didn't want to go back there again.
*~*~ (8:30 PM....on the roof!)
Inuyasha was sitting on the roof with his arms crossed over his chest...looking at the stars, facing the direction of where they have to go tomorrow to fight Naraku. Tomorrow will be it though...the final battle against Naraku...but he's right....their fate will be decide. If they defeat Naraku before the sun rises...Kagome might say those SIMPLE 3 words. Sango and Miroku might live and get married and Shippo might be Kagome's stepbrother!
He didn't want to think about that right now. It's good to plan ahead but he doesn't even know if he's going to live or not. All he wants is a happy life with Kagome and ask her to marry him or something like that.
Uh-oh!
He's having second thoughts now...he's afraid to go now. He's never been afraid like this...but what is he afraid of? What else!? Death...most likely...everyone is afraid of death and you can't avoid it. No matter what you do...he's afraid to die once the sun rises on the Friday morning...it's only a nice, beautiful Wednesday night.
"Inuyasha...?"
He turned his head to look behind him...he found Kagome standing behind him. She moved her feet to walk and sit next to him. She joined him to look at the stars.
"It's...beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Asked Kagome.
He looked back up at the stars. "I guess..."
"I think it's more then beautiful...it's lovely. The stars are always lovely...and free. I want to be free like that one day...be free with someone special."
"Sometimes I think about that too..." His planned...no Souta's planned worked all right. Now it is time for the other part of the plan... "It's going to be a long day tomorrow. It's going to take all morning and half of the afternoon to get there...so we will be fighting all night." Kagome realized that and became scared.
"I'm scared to go tomorrow..."
Okay, that part of the plan has to wait for a few minutes. "Why?"
"Because my dad died in that moutains over there."
Correction: Okay again, she's doing the other part of their plan...to talk about her dad.
"He died when I was only 7..."
"At the mountains?"
"Yes..."
"How exactly...?"
"I was there...I saw his death...He took me with him just to see the good snow...good nice white snow. One day when he had to do his work, he set off with a friend to look for the dead bodies so he can report them. He told me not to come but I followed him secretly..."
Inuyasha stared at her...
***************Flashback!***************
Her father sets off with a friend to look for the dead bodies. Kagome at age 7, follows him secretly because he forbid her not to come because it was just not the right place for her.
She was wearing her favorite red scarf, a nice brown tan jacket that's really warm to her, and some red mittens to cover her hands from the cold. She had long pants to cover her legs too. But her face was cold!
Her father was walking on the edge since the road was a one way walk. His stomach was flat on the snow of the mountain, putting his grip on the snow and slowly walking sideways with his friend behind him. They had to go slow so they won't slip off and fall down a painful death. While little Kagome was a few feet away from her doing the samething.
"Do you got the phone just in case we find the bodies?" Asked the guy.
"Yeah, do you have an extra one just in case, Horu," answered Mr. Higurashi.
"Got it right here!" He took the cell phone out just in case.
"Good, now let's keep going!" They continue to walk sideways so they can walk normal once they get on a nice wider road.
The wind was so cold, that Kagome had trouble keeping up with them. She stopped a couple of times and then continue to follow her father. But she somehow she had a bad feeling...
"Daddy...don't go!" He couldn't hear her...her voice was so light and soft she could barely yell out.
Mr. Higurashi felt something moved...was it an earthquake? Wait, do earthquakes happen in the snowy mountains? He saw a couple of rocks covered in snow falling from above them.
Kagome knew something was wrong so she yelled out with all her might. "DADDY DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!!" That did it...
Mr. Higurashi looked up and saw a large mass of snow coming towards them. They didn't have time to move...they was hardly any space, what can they do? All they can do is hope for them to survive the avalanche or move faster but that would make them slip off the edge.
Kagome saw the large mass of snow heading down the mountain and to her father and Horu, she screamed. The snow didn't wipe her away...she was only a foot away, she went to her knees, closed her eyes, clenching her hands into the snow wall, hoping...no praying for everything to be alright. After awhile, she open her eyes again and found her jacket covered in little bits of snow.
She looked at the spot where her dad was standing and saw it was no small edge anymore. Instead of a small edge, the avalanche made a wide road. But where's her father and Horu...? Are they under the snow? Please don't let it be!
She walked slowly to the wide space of snow. She went on her knees and dig her hands to look for at least a hand. It was so cold...about 30 degrees below zero maybe? She found a backpack, she had hope...so she dig more into the snow. She found Horu, but the first thing she did was dig into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone.
She knew what to do, her father told her in these kind of situations she should call the search party. She knew the number...it was all her favorite so how can she forget? She dialed the number fast. 963-1111....ring....
She waited until she heard another voice at the other end...finally she heard something.
"Excuse me? This is Kagome...my dad and Horu is out here buried under the snow...I found Mr. Horu but he's alright but he's sleeping right now and-"
"Slow down! Where are you?" Asked the male voice.
"We're at the...I don't know exactly. But my dad packed some fireworks so I'll use them for the signals!"
"Okay! Stay put...shoot the fireworks in 10 minutes."
They hung up...like Kagome could tell time now. She didn't know how. She didn't have time for that, she has to find her dad. She dig through the snow again to find her dad.
She was scared to death...scared that she won't find him. Her father always told her if she needs to find him...all she needs to do is to let out her hands and wait for him to appear in her sight. When she finally dig deep enough, she stopped because she found a hand. She had to dig more to find his face. Snow fell off a big bump, that's when she found his face.
"Daddy...wake up...please!" Said Kagome.
She held on to his hand and rubbed it against her cheek. His hand was cold...so cold. She looked at her father and saw his head was bleeding...blood roll down his face. Now she was scared...completely. But she didn't have time...she searched for the fireworks in her father's backpack. She found it...and grabbed the matches even though she wasn't suppose to be touching it or be playing with them. But this is an EMERGENCY!!!!!
She lit it and let it set off into the sky. She lit another one and it set off again. Now she had to wait...she pulled her knees to her chest, and hugged her legs. She was crying...afraid...and scared...it was getting to cold now, her body temperature was dropping and she was about to fall asleep. She fell to the ground and saw her father's hand in front of her eyes. She grabbed a hold of it. But somehow...his hand squeezed her's. She looked at his face...with tears in her eyes. He was awake....
"Thank you...Kagome..." said Mr. Higurashi.
"Daddy..."
He moved his other hand to touch her face and wipe away the tears. "It'll be fine...they will come soon. Take care of your mom for me...and Souta and your grandpa..." he pulled her closer to him. Her head next to his face. "Always remember what I said...Be strong at your mind, body, heart...and soul....I love you...."
She was tired...she didn't want to fall asleep. Now he was singing a lullaby her favorite...
~Never forget that you're always loved
That someday you'll be reward with something better in life
And I hope to see you again next year with a smile....
But right now....I have to say...I love you...and good....bye~
He continued to sing the song until she fell asleep, but after a few minutes she fell asleep, he stopped singing.
*************End Flashback!***********
Kagome started to shed lots of tears, it's been a long time since she talked about her father. And she was glad she did. That was part of the plan...to make her talk about her dad so it can make her happy again.
"I came around and found myself in the hospital, and found my mom in the room with me. She had tears in her eyes ...and that's when she told me that Horu...and dad died..." said Kagome.
"I'm sorry..." said Inuyasha.
"Don't be...As long as my dad knows I'm happy, he'll be happy. That's all what counts now, right?"
"Right...."
Kagome wiped her tears away and looked back at the stars. She smiled to herself...reminding herself she would never forget any of this...and she won't be able to forget about her dad. But that's when she had her chance to make her wish.
"Look! A shooting star!" Excited Kagome. "Quick! Make a wish!" She put her hands together and closed her eyes real tight. "[I wish to spend the rest of my life with Inuyasha...so my dad could be happy in heaven...]"
For Inuyasha, he made the same wish he made for his birthday. That's when he turned to Kagome...and she face him. He smiled and press his lips against hers. A nice kiss under the stars...how nice!
*~*~
"Look at those two! Being Mr. and Mrs. Kissy Pants!" Said Shippo. Him, Miroku and Sango were on the roof with them but was far away from them so they won't see them. But when Miroku and Sango saw the shooting star, they made their own wish. Since they're engage, they have to stay together!
Miroku was sitting looking at the stars, with his legs crossed, his elbow resting on his knee and his chin resting on his hand. Sango was doing the samething. They both made their wish.
"[I wish for me and Sango to have 10 kids!]" Said Miroku. (_ He must be crazy enough to have 10 kids! But hey, my friends say I'm crazy sometimes...but not that kind of crazy like Miroku is!)
"[I wish I can only have a happy life with Miroku and to have one kid...and if he mess up our marriage I will kill him!]" Said Sango. She just wants to kill Miroku if he becomes perverted again. And Miroku just wants to marry Sango and love and have kids with her and make love with...etc. He is a pervert!
Miroku smiled, and wrapped his arm around Sango and made her head rest on his shoulder. She didn't mind, she does love him anyway but sometimes she just wants to kill him!
Sango looked at the side of his face and thought how handsome he was. She liked the little ponytail at the back of his head because she likes to pull it, that gives him a warning that she wants him to do something or that she's really mad at him. She let her right hand rest on his back and then it slightly crawled up to his back and up to his neck. She grabbed the ponytail and pulled it back.
"Ow! What did I do now?" Asked Miroku.
"Didn't you forget something important to you?" Answered Sango with a question.
"No, I will never forget you..."
His two fingers grabbed her chin to make her to look at him. She also liked the blue eyes of his...no, she doesn't like it...she loves it! This time, instead of him kissing her, she kissed him instead.
Shippo saw what was happening between the Inu-couple and the Beat-up- couple! He turned around and put his hands on the back of his heads. Kirara saw what was happening and saw what Shippo was doing too.
"Please! Get a room!!" Said Shippo. "Come on Kirara...we might get something to eat downstairs. We can leave the kissy couples ALONE..........."
He and Kirara climb down the roof and made it into the house and stuff their face with some fish. Kirara especially loved it because after all, she is a cat demon.
Right?
Right!
Will the couples ever get married?
Miroku and Sango, yes!
Inuyasha and Kagome, maybe!
But that didn't bother Shippo and Kirara, they were too busy stuffing their faces. That made Shippo forget that he has to fight Naraku too. But he didn't think about at all last night because of his own party he had with Kirara!
*~*~
The next morning...VERY EARLY in the morning, they had to leave. Kagome gave Souta and her mom a hug...a good luck hug and she also hugged her wierd Grandpa....Of course he's wierd after what happened to him and Inuyasha almost two months ago.
"Make sure you come back alive!" Said Mrs. Higurashi, while she gives her the backpack for food.
"I will!" Said Kagome.
"Don't forget to wash out any blood that comes on your clothes!"
"I...WILL!"
"And don't forget-"
"Mom! We don't have time for this!"
"All right...good luck...to all of you."
They all nodded and smiled at her. Kirara transformed and let Miroku and Sango on her back. Sango had her black suit, and Shippo was on Kirara's head. Of course, Kagome was on Inuyasha's back, and they head out to the mountains...the death place of Kagome's father....the place she thought she would never go back to. But there was no choice. She had to go.
This is best luck to Inuyasha....once the battle has started...he really needs all the luck he can get. We all pray for his return...AND WE ESPECIALLY PRAY FOR KAGOME TO SAY THOSE 3 REALLY SIMPLE WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Got it right here!" He took the cell phone out just in case.
"Good, now let's keep going!" They continue to walk sideways so they can walk normal once they get on a nice wider road.
The wind was so cold, that Kagome had trouble keeping up with them. She stopped a couple of times and then continue to follow her father. But she somehow she had a bad feeling...
"Daddy...don't go!" He couldn't hear her...her voice was so light and soft she could barely yell out.
Mr. Higurashi felt something moved...was it an earthquake? Wait, do earthquakes happen in the snowy mountains? He saw a couple of rocks covered in snow falling from above them.
Kagome knew something was wrong so she yelled out with all her might. "DADDY DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!!" That did it...
Mr. Higurashi looked up and saw a large mass of snow coming towards them. They didn't have time to move...they was hardly any space, what can they do? All they can do is hope for them to survive the avalanche or move faster but that would make them slip off the edge.
Kagome saw the large mass of snow heading down the mountain and to her father and Horu, she screamed. The snow didn't wipe her away...she was only a foot away, she went to her knees, closed her eyes, clenching her hands into the snow wall, hoping...no praying for everything to be alright. After awhile, she open her eyes again and found her jacket covered in little bits of snow.
She looked at the spot where her dad was standing and saw it was no small edge anymore. Instead of a small edge, the avalanche made a wide road. But where's her father and Horu...? Are they under the snow? Please don't let it be!
She walked slowly to the wide space of snow. She went on her knees and dig her hands to look for at least a hand. It was so cold...about 30 degrees below zero maybe? She found a backpack, she had hope...so she dig more into the snow. She found Horu, but the first thing she did was dig into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone.
She knew what to do, her father told her in these kind of situations she should call the search party. She knew the number...it was all her favorite so how can she forget? She dialed the number fast. 963-1111....ring....
She waited until she heard another voice at the other end...finally she heard something.
"Excuse me? This is Kagome...my dad and Horu is out here buried under the snow...I found Mr. Horu but he's alright but he's sleeping right now and-"
"Slow down! Where are you?" Asked the male voice.
"We're at the...I don't know exactly. But my dad packed some fireworks so I'll use them for the signals!"
"Okay! Stay put...shoot the fireworks in 10 minutes."
They hung up...like Kagome could tell time now. She didn't know how. She didn't have time for that, she has to find her dad. She dig through the snow again to find her dad.
She was scared to death...scared that she won't find him. Her father always told her if she needs to find him...all she needs to do is to let out her hands and wait for him to appear in her sight. When she finally dig deep enough, she stopped because she found a hand. She had to dig more to find his face. Snow fell off a big bump, that's when she found his face.
"Daddy...wake up...please!" Said Kagome.
She held on to his hand and rubbed it against her cheek. His hand was cold...so cold. She looked at her father and saw his head was bleeding...blood roll down his face. Now she was scared...completely. But she didn't have time...she searched for the fireworks in her father's backpack. She found it...and grabbed the matches even though she wasn't suppose to be touching it or be playing with them. But this is an EMERGENCY!!!!!
She lit it and let it set off into the sky. She lit another one and it set off again. Now she had to wait...she pulled her knees to her chest, and hugged her legs. She was crying...afraid...and scared...it was getting to cold now, her body temperature was dropping and she was about to fall asleep. She fell to the ground and saw her father's hand in front of her eyes. She grabbed a hold of it. But somehow...his hand squeezed her's. She looked at his face...with tears in her eyes. He was awake....
"Thank you...Kagome..." said Mr. Higurashi.
"Daddy..."
He moved his other hand to touch her face and wipe away the tears. "It'll be fine...they will come soon. Take care of your mom for me...and Souta and your grandpa..." he pulled her closer to him. Her head next to his face. "Always remember what I said...Be strong at your mind, body, heart...and soul....I love you...."
She was tired...she didn't want to fall asleep. Now he was singing a lullaby her favorite...
~Never forget that you're always loved
That someday you'll be reward with something better in life
And I hope to see you again next year with a smile....
But right now....I have to say...I love you...and good....bye~
He continued to sing the song until she fell asleep, but after a few minutes she fell asleep, he stopped singing.
*************End Flashback!***********
Kagome started to shed lots of tears, it's been a long time since she talked about her father. And she was glad she did. That was part of the plan...to make her talk about her dad so it can make her happy again.
"I came around and found myself in the hospital, and found my mom in the room with me. She had tears in her eyes ...and that's when she told me that Horu...and dad died..." said Kagome.
"I'm sorry..." said Inuyasha.
"Don't be...As long as my dad knows I'm happy, he'll be happy. That's all what counts now, right?"
"Right...."
Kagome wiped her tears away and looked back at the stars. She smiled to herself...reminding herself she would never forget any of this...and she won't be able to forget about her dad. But that's when she had her chance to make her wish.
"Look! A shooting star!" Excited Kagome. "Quick! Make a wish!" She put her hands together and closed her eyes real tight. "[I wish to spend the rest of my life with Inuyasha...so my dad could be happy in heaven...]"
For Inuyasha, he made the same wish he made for his birthday. That's when he turned to Kagome...and she face him. He smiled and press his lips against hers. A nice kiss under the stars...how nice!
*~*~
"Look at those two! Being Mr. and Mrs. Kissy Pants!" Said Shippo. Him, Miroku and Sango were on the roof with them but was far away from them so they won't see them. But when Miroku and Sango saw the shooting star, they made their own wish. Since they're engage, they have to stay together!
Miroku was sitting looking at the stars, with his legs crossed, his elbow resting on his knee and his chin resting on his hand. Sango was doing the samething. They both made their wish.
"[I wish for me and Sango to have 10 kids!]" Said Miroku. (_ He must be crazy enough to have 10 kids! But hey, my friends say I'm crazy sometimes...but not that kind of crazy like Miroku is!)
"[I wish I can only have a happy life with Miroku and to have one kid...and if he mess up our marriage I will kill him!]" Said Sango. She just wants to kill Miroku if he becomes perverted again. And Miroku just wants to marry Sango and love and have kids with her and make love with...etc. He is a pervert!
Miroku smiled, and wrapped his arm around Sango and made her head rest on his shoulder. She didn't mind, she does love him anyway but sometimes she just wants to kill him!
Sango looked at the side of his face and thought how handsome he was. She liked the little ponytail at the back of his head because she likes to pull it, that gives him a warning that she wants him to do something or that she's really mad at him. She let her right hand rest on his back and then it slightly crawled up to his back and up to his neck. She grabbed the ponytail and pulled it back.
"Ow! What did I do now?" Asked Miroku.
"Didn't you forget something important to you?" Answered Sango with a question.
"No, I will never forget you..."
His two fingers grabbed her chin to make her to look at him. She also liked the blue eyes of his...no, she doesn't like it...she loves it! This time, instead of him kissing her, she kissed him instead.
Shippo saw what was happening between the Inu-couple and the Beat-up- couple! He turned around and put his hands on the back of his heads. Kirara saw what was happening and saw what Shippo was doing too.
"Please! Get a room!!" Said Shippo. "Come on Kirara...we might get something to eat downstairs. We can leave the kissy couples ALONE..........."
He and Kirara climb down the roof and made it into the house and stuff their face with some fish. Kirara especially loved it because after all, she is a cat demon.
Right?
Right!
Will the couples ever get married?
Miroku and Sango, yes!
Inuyasha and Kagome, maybe!
But that didn't bother Shippo and Kirara, they were too busy stuffing their faces. That made Shippo forget that he has to fight Naraku too. But he didn't think about at all last night because of his own party he had with Kirara!
*~*~
The next morning...VERY EARLY in the morning, they had to leave. Kagome gave Souta and her mom a hug...a good luck hug and she also hugged her wierd Grandpa....Of course he's wierd after what happened to him and Inuyasha almost two months ago.
"Make sure you come back alive!" Said Mrs. Higurashi, while she gives her the backpack for food.
"I will!" Said Kagome.
"Don't forget to wash out any blood that comes on your clothes!"
"I...WILL!"
"And don't forget-"
"Mom! We don't have time for this!"
"All right...good luck...to all of you."
They all nodded and smiled at her. Kirara transformed and let Miroku and Sango on her back. Sango had her black suit, and Shippo was on Kirara's head. Of course, Kagome was on Inuyasha's back, and they head out to the mountains...the death place of Kagome's father....the place she thought she would never go back to. But there was no choice. She had to go.
This is best luck to Inuyasha....once the battle has started...he really needs all the luck he can get. We all pray for his return...AND WE ESPECIALLY PRAY FOR KAGOME TO SAY THOSE 3 REALLY SIMPLE WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
