Chapter 7
A Need for Sight
By: Silver Teardrops
"So what is it?" I asked with much curiosity. She was hanging my very soul on the edge.
"I'll tell ye, but before I do, make sure Kagome is not around to hear or any other for that matter." Kaede said cautiously.
I nodded and sniffed out what was going on. Kagome was a little too far away with Sango to be hearing anything, and well the other two in the room were dead asleep.
"No one." I muttered and faced her direction.
"Now can I know the cure?" I asked, a little frustration rising with every second she wasted.
"Kagome, and you. You both have a very special connection that ye both do not know." She stated sipping more of her newly brewed tea.
"And?" I prolonged it to tell her to hurry her old self up.
"Okay, listen well for I will not repeat it to ye more than once." I nodded.
"You must tell Kagome you love her-" I fell to the floor at the 'L' word.
"NANI?!" I said frantically hiding the deep blush I felt on my cheeks.
"It's alright Inuyasha, I know of your passion for her. Now let me continue. You can not just openly tell her you love her and don't mean it. Because then you won't ever gain your sight back." My head was hurting. I can't just tell her I love her...then how?
"I'm confused." I admitted without delay.
"I thought so. Okay I'll tell ye exactly what to do. Take her back to her time, on the night of your human form. You will take her out on a date. There you will find someway to profess your love in another way other than words." She finished proudly.
"What do you mean?" I asked her. This old hag was interesting. She knew a lot about things, but everything that we have come face to face with, it's as if she knew and learned it beforehand.
"In order to gain your precious sight back, Inuyasha, ye must do what I've just said. And for her, she must be unaware of the upcoming events. She must be clueless as ye are now." Kaede chuckled a bit, but I restrained myself from choking her.
"So can I at least get help on this one?" I asked tiredly.
"Ye must have one help from one person only. So choose wisely. Thee also must not tell the plans to her either." Kaede stood up and went into another room to retire. I sat in the night, sighing.
"When did life become so exciting?" I asked, then chuckled to myself at my own obvious answer. "Since the day I met Kagome."
I thought about it. Um, Miroku? No, that hentai won't do any good. Shippo? He's far too young to understand. Kagome? Shoot! I'm suppose to 'woo' her not learn how to 'woo' from her. Who's left? Sango!!! She's a girl too, and being that she can help me. There's a bonus too! she's very close to Kagome!
"Damn I'm good!!!" I screamed causing Kagome and said Sango to rush in and Miroku and Shippo to awaken.
"What happened?" Miroku asked looking around for any sign of demon.
"Um...nothing," I said completely embarrassed. did I actually say that out loud?
"Oh, then don't scare us like that." Kagome said. Sango agreed. Miroku and Shippo fell back and resumed their sleep. Kagome whispered something incoherent to Sango that I couldn't pick up and left the hut.
"Inuyasha, are you okay? You've been acting weird lately." Sango's voice came closer to me.
"Where's Kagome?" I asked, already knowing she was out deeper into the woods with Kirara to pick more herbs and firewood.
"She's out with Kirara, don't worry." Sango sat down next to me, poking at the fire in the middle of the room.
"There's something I have to tell you," I said in a whisper, to avoid waking up others again.
"Sure, tell me." She replied.
"I need your help, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone. not anyone at all," I said seriously and waited for her long awaited reply.
"O..kay. But what is it then that you want to keep a secret."
"The cure to my eyesight problems," I stated and she clapped with glee.
"You found one? All right! I'll go and tell Kagome-" I grabbed her arm as she stood up to run.
"DON'T!" I said in a demanding voice that left no room to argue with.
"What's wrong?" She asked sitting back down.
"Okay, the cure is that I have to say one thing to a certain person. But without actually saying it. You get it?" I asked hopefully.
"Uh...yeeeaaah." I could hear the confused and hesitant tone in her answer.
"Let me explain and hopefully you'll understand why you can't tell anyone. especially Kagome."
"Okay, Inuyasha, fire away. I'm listening." Smart aleck.
"Okay, I have to confess my true feelings towards Kagome. But I can't actually say it, I have to show her in a way. But she can not know what or when I'm doing this. She's not suppose to even know there is a cure to regaining my sense back. So I need your help to do..." I lost the word I was searching for. I keep scrunching my face trying to get that word out. It's on the tip of my tongue, I know it.
"You mean help you woo her?" Sango finished for me.
"Yes! that's it. So will you help me, and not tell a soul about it?" I asked.
"Sure. I'd be happy being the matchmaker between you two." She pinched my cheeks as if I was a chibi Inuyasha.
"Eh! Stop that!" I flung her hands away from my face.
"Fine. my baby is all grown up." She teased and made me blush.
"Sango, Kirara wants you. She won't come inside." Kagome's soft voice floated into the room, stopping our friendly teasing about one another.
"Okay sure." Sango nudged my arm a little so that only I can feel and no one else to see. "
So Inuyasha? Are you regaining a bit of color into your eyes?" Kagome gingerly touched my eyes softly as I closed them.
"No, nothing yet." But when her hand contacted with my skin, I saw more flashes of light.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked as she saw me back away.
"Um, it just hurts when you touch them. must be the medicine ne?" I asked, a little smile playing on my lips.
"Oh, hai, probably." She sat back down.
"Kagome?" I asked her.
"Yes?"
"You should rest, you seem a bit tired." I handed her a pillow from beside me and she went to get her sleeping bag and slipped into it.
"Oyasuminasai." She said and after a few more moments her breathing became regular and smooth.
"So, she's asleep?" Sango asked coming in with her feline friend.
"Yeah."
"You should rest to. Tomorrow, I'm going to drill some information into you." She laughed and I smirked a bit and fell into a never-ending nightmare.
"No! Father! Mother! Kagome!!!" I screamed running, but to no avail did I catch up.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed reaching out to me.
"Kagome don't leave me!" I screamed running up a little more but still it's as if my effort was for naught.
"Inuyasha...don't forget me." Kagome's eyes closed and her body fell from the supposed enemy and into the raging river.
"Kagome!" I raced to the water, dived, and found nothing but that I was swimming in a river full of blood. I quickly jumped out.
"Mother! Father!" I saw them being killed before my eyes. it hurt to see them slaughtered...it hurt to see them die.
"Inuyasha!!!" Kagome slapped my face, waking me from the horror. I groaned as the pain actually registered itself in my brain.
"Shit! That hurt Kagome." I whined rubbing my right cheek.
"Sorry Inuyasha, but um, you were screaming and it frightened me, I even tried waking you up, but you seemed to sleep through it-so I came to my last resort. I slapped you." She said very apologetically.
"Um, I guess it alright. Is that...Ramen?" I said sniffing the air.
"Sure is...I thought you would like to wake to it this morning, here you go." She took my hands and placed it around a bowl. I gratefully nodded my thanks to her and started to gulp down the ramen. It was sooo good, it reminded me of my mission too. boy was Sango going to be rough on me today.
"Um...thanks Kagome. where's Sango?" I asked noticing it was only her and me in this room at the moment.
"She went to the river, oh she told me to tell you once you awoke, to meet her there. Miroku and Shippo went off into town to buy some food." She added in.
"I'll be going now. you'll be alright just with Kaede?" I asked.
"Sure. she promised to teach me more about herbs...hey I might even find a cure for you." She gleamed.
I smiled at her.
"You do just that then.." She tugged on my arm when I started to leave.
"Can you find the river? Or do you need some assistance?" She asked worriedly.
"I can find my own way, do not worry. I still have my hearing and smelling sense left." I reassured her by gripping her arm firmly and left.
"Sango!!" I yelled waiting for her to respond.
"I'm here Inuyasha." I heard some rustling and a hand grabbed my arm pulling me down next to them.
"So, what am I supposed to learn. is it going to be long too?" I was whining but I couldn't help it. I didn't want to be stuck out here all day.
"Not long, but long enough." She said, giggling some. "Okay. Kagome, do you know what she likes?" She asked.
"Um, flowers?" I asked stupidly. I really hadn't paid attention to anything she liked before, so how do I know what she likes now?
"correct." Sango said, placing a flower into my palm.
"I'm right? Wow, what's this?" I fingered the flower careful not to break it or crush it. It seemed too fragile like my relationship with others. One wrong turn or move, it'll be done with-gone.
That's it, very short I know I wanted to update though before I turn back to school. At least now you know what the cure is? I hope so, it's kinda funny but I kinda thought to kick it with Sango teaching him about love. It's weird but I didn't want Miroku to teach Inuyasha his lecherous ways. Okay review I'll try to update soon I'll really try!
