Chapter15
'Kaede I found one!!!'
'That is wonderful Shippo now can ye find any more out there.'
'YA! I am the best because I have a SUPER NOISE!' Shippo proceeded to run around the forest as fast as he could looking for the sweet smelling plant Kaede needed.
"My dear, I knew that keeping him in the hut for 2 hours was a bad idea but I never..." Kaede just sat in her spot she had made for herself. Her old bones couldn't take all the running Shippo was doing.
'Kaede! Kaede! I found another one!!!!'
'That is great Shippo now don't go off to far we need to get back before ...' she was cut of thought as a shriek reached her ears. 'Shippo what is wrong!!!! Are ye all right?' When Kaede found Shippo he was almost 5 minuets away.
Shippo hadn't actually been looking for the herb anymore he had picked up Kagome's sent and was excited to go see her. What he found thought wasn't exactly what he had hoped.
'Inuyasha!!!!' He screamed. Shippo just sat there motionless till Kaede got there.
'Shippo why on earth are ye so far away from....' She had just spotted what Shippo was so upset about.
'Shippo I think we need to locate the others, come quickly now.' Neither of them wanted to stay anywhere near there for and longer then they had to. It wasn't that they we scared or discussed by what they had seen it was just that ... there was a strange feeling hanging over the whole area. It was the weirdest thing either of them had ever felt but it wasn't a good feeling. There was love, hate, confusion, betrayal, and a deep despair all around. You would fell happy one second and the next you wanted to kill something.
As they walked away Shippo was completely confused he didn't know what to make of it. Inuyasha hadn't always been the nicest person to him but ... he was like family and he had already lost enough family for one lifetime. As for Kaede she was in a deep thought she just couldn't understand what was going on. The only person that was around here who could create and arrow that strong was Kagome but why would she do this unless...
Miroku had been looking for the young demon and the old lady for sometime now.
'Kaede, Shippo where have you been Sango and I need you back at the hut!' They had both been lost in thought and didn't notice his presence until he was right beside them.
'O yes yes we were just heading back their right Shippo?' They didn't get and an answer though which was unusual. Kaede knew what was bothering him but Miroku was baffled by the young demons silence.
Miroku had noticed there was something strange with both of them but he didn't know what. They had just been off picking herbs. He could tell by the bag Kaede was holding. Why did they have any reason to be upset they hadn't seen what he had or been through what Kagome must have.
'Um... may I ask as to what is bothering you lady Kaede? You seem quite distracted with something.'
'O it is nothing.' She felt it was best not to talk about it while Shippo was around. He had just seen Inuyasha and was already acting strangely. He always walked with his head high but today he was walking slowly with his head down and hadn't uttered a word to anyone.
Shippo was now angry with Kaede. "What does she mean no big deal Inuyasha is dead and she doesn't care! He was mean to her but ...' He couldn't take it anymore he had to say something and then he had to go somewhere where he could think.
'WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT IS NOTHING INUYASHA IS DEAD YOU SAW HIS BODY HANGING FROM THE TREE! I KNOW HE WASN'T ALWAYS NICE BUT ... BUT DON'T YOU SEE YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE HIM AGAIN BECAUSE HE IS DEAD!!!'
Miroku and Kaede had stopped walking and were looking at the small fox demon in front of them. They had seen him upset many times but he had never actually yelled at them before. Kaede tried to explain what she had meant but Shippo was already gone.
Miroku was completely shocked he didn't realized that the two had come across...
'Lady Kaede ... what happened?' He asked in a concerned voice.
'We shouldn't stop now I will tell you everything back at my hut.'
When they finally arrived Sango was sitting by Kagome and a pot of water was heating over the fire.
'Kaede I am so glad you are back!!'
'Yes and it seems that I got back not a moment to late tell me what you have seen and I will tell you what I have seen.'
Miroku caught his spot to jump in so he quickly sat down and began to tell Kaede that they had found Kagome crying in the forest, she had said something about not being able to get him down and something about Kikyo to.
'So my sister had a hand in this. How unfortunate she should pin him there twice.' They all knew the story so there was no need for her to explain.
'May I ask as to what happened with Shippo.'
'Well when you found us Miroku we were just heading back here. Shippo had been looking for herbs and found Inuyasha pinned to the tree. As you can tell he didn't take it well and he seems to think Inuyasha is dead not merle in a sleep like state.
Sango had sat there the whole time they talked listening patiently. She hadn't even notices Shippo wasn't there.
'That wasn't the best thing that could have happened ... I was hopping to brake the news to him slowly. For one so young he has had many losses in his life I assume that losing Inuyasha was too much for him.'
'You are probably right Miroku but we must leave him be for now he will come back when he is ready.'
After a few more hours Kagome finally awoke.
*Yawn* 'Hey everyone what is...' As her memory flooded back to her she sat there just staring off into space. The others knew that it's was extremely hard for her.
'Come sit with us child let us help ye. All hope is not lost. We mustn't act as if he has already left us.'
That seemed to help Kagome and she came over and sat by the fire although she was secluded for them non-the less.
'Do you now how to help him Lady Kaede?' Sango asked in a hopeful voice.
'No I am afraid not child... but I do think that there is something we can do. Now Kagome I need you to tell me exactly what Kikyo said to you.'
'Well ... she ... said... I couldn't get Inuyasha down and she had ... made sure of it.' The pain was evident in her voice. Kagome was still upset by what had happened but she felt maybe just maybe there was something she could do to help him. That alone lifted her spirit enough to continue. 'She also said... that if I went home she would seal the well after me ... and she would keep him pinned to the tree till I was dead if I did stay here.'
They were all shocked they had thought the situation was bad but they never realized what a bad position it put them in. Kagome had started to cry again after finishing what she needed to say.
'It is all right Kagome everything will be fine I know it will. Remember it isn't like he is dead. It is the same as if he was trapped in a cage or something in an area not easily reachable. We have always found a way to pull through in tough times. If we work together we can do this and he will be with us again in no time.' Sango was so pleased she had said it all how she had planed. There was nothing better for her to do while Miroku was out looking for them.
'Thanks Sango I know we will.' Kagome almost smiled and the other could tell she was feeling better.
~*~ Shippo ~*~
"Why did I come back here it isn't like I can do anything!" He had walked in on apparent direction and was unfortunate to find himself right back were Inuyasha was pinned. "This is great!!! Why dose everyone have to die? I never really thought I would miss him that much if he was gone. I thought it would be great because I wouldn't have anyone hitting me all the time." Just then Shippo realized something he hadn't before. "This is the tree he was stuck to last time and he wasn't dead then so maybe he isn't dead this time!" As Shippo stared up at the lifeless figure he couldn't sense it very well but there was some life there." He needed to go tell everyone. He headed back in the direction of the hut and as he did there was a smile that creeper onto his face for a moment. It vanished soon afterwards but it had still been there.
~ Kaede's Hut ~
As the fire burned in the dark hut all that resided within it had fallen into a deep sleep. There wasn't even one movement from Kagome as Shippo came into the hut and curled up on her sleeping bag. They day had take a lot out of them all.
The night was calm and silent the trees played with the wind. Kagome had just awoken from he sleep and was wondering through the night. She felt horrible to be sleeping in the hut when Inuyasha was stuck to that tree. "I will go and sleep by him tonight. Maybe I will find a way to free him." She hadn't brought any of her gear with her. As she walked for what seemed like hours she came upon the spot where he resided in his slumber. A great wave of joy went trough her as she looked upon the tree. Inuyasha was awake though she didn't understand why.
'Inuyasha you are awake!!!' She yelled as she ran over to him.
'Ya what did you expect.' Inuyasha said dryly. Kagome felt upset by the comment but she didn't want a fight right then.
'Let me see if I can pull out this arrow!'
'Whatever.' Once again she let it slide. The arrow was going to be harder to pull out this time. She knew that put she had to try anyway. It didn't budge. She would have continued trying but something was behind her.
'I told you. He will be stuck up there forever unless you leave!' It was Kikyo. She had her bow strung and looked ready to shoot at any moment.
'Kagome you must leave now or I will have you up there with him.'
'Never I will not leave Inuyasha!!!!'
'Then you will die' A second latter she could feel the arrow ripping through her as she came in contact with the tree and everything went black.
The night was calm and silent the trees played with the wind. Kagome had just awoken from he sleep and was wondering through the night. She felt horrible to be sleeping in the hut when Inuyasha was stuck to that tree. "I will go and sleep by him tonight. Maybe I will find a way to free him." She hadn't brought any of her gear with her. As she walked for what seemed like hours she came upon the spot where he resided in his slumber. A great wave of joy went trough her as she looked upon the tree. Inuyasha was awake though she didn't understand why.
'Inuyasha!!' Kagome yelled as she ran over to him.
'Kagome! You shouldn't have come!'
'Why not!!'
'It is not safe I sense someone coming. RUN!' She could feel it to so she listened to him and ran as fast as she could. He yelled at her one more thing as she left.
'I will be with you soon. The well is the way out, take it and don't look back!'
She didn't even realize what she was doing. She jumped into the well and...
'KAGOME KAOGME!!!! WAKE UP!' Shippo screamed in her ear. She was still lying in her sleeping bag. It had all been a dream. As she opened her eye there was a crowed of 3 people standing around her.
'Kagome are you alright?' Kagome had taken a few minuets to figure out what was going on but she felt fine she didn't know what the fuss was about.
'I am fine Sango. Why do you ask?' The others all had extremely worried expressions on there face.
'Are you sure! That didn't sound fine to me!'
'I am fine don't worry. WHAT HAPPENED?'
Shippo butted in to tell the tale of what had occurred in the hut. 'I was sitting here and all of a sudden you start talking to yourself and trashing around ... as Miroku said. We all tried to wake you but it didn't work and then you screamed and said something. I don't know what though.'
'So the short part of it is that we all thought you were hurt but when you were sleeping we feared that someone was using magic on you. You are awake now so I guess it must have been a dream? I was taught thought that every dream has a purpose. What was it about?' She sat there for a moment not sure what to say. If it was trying to tell her something she wasn't sure what it was.
