I don't really like this being a chapter but like more of a setting up of a
scene but alas it will be titled
Chapter 8
She moaned in her sleep.
Pain is what it was. And it was mostly concentrated on her left side. So much that it woke her out of her unconscious slumber.
This was the second time she would wake up and not know what the hell had happened.
But then she remembered fighting, and her father's dead carcass.
That's what caused her to almost jump straight out of her bed. She sure enough almost succeeded until her side screamed in anger at the sudden movement.
Opening her eyes, her disheveled room met her eyes. She peaked at her injury and it was not bandaged up. And she was still wearing her ripped, bloodied up dress.
Realizing when she looked at her destroyed room the other crew must of come in here because it smelled like a lot of different demons.
She looked around and by her door and he was there.
Inuyasha was leaned up against the wall sleeping. With his arms crossed over his chest.
His wound, she could smell his dried blood now.
She stared at his face for a long time. His relaxed unworried face.
Turning her legs so they were dangling over her bed she was about to stand up when she felt a pulse to her right.
Looking to her bed she saw it again.
The same pink sphere that came out of her wound.
Reaching out to grab it she felt it give out a pulse again. Even more so when it was finally lying in her hand.
Why does this look so familiar? She thought to herself.
Rolling it between her claws she felt connected to it somehow. Not just in body but in spirit.
She stood up and walked cautiously over to her dresser. Quietly, as not to wake up Inuyasha she opened the top drawer.
Kagome pulled out a slip and a different dress since the one she was wearing was ruined. With the pink ball still in her hand, and now clothes folded over her left arm she went to the door.
She gave the knob a turn and she heard the lock make a click sounding that it was free. She opened the door.
Kagome smiled down at Inuyasha one last time before heading to the lavatory.
She took what was left of her clothes off once she was inside with the door shut behind her.
Setting her clothes on one of the water barrels, she sat down on a wooden stool.
Grabbing two buckets of water and rag she set them beside her. Taking a look around the room she saw the cleansing bar and reached for it. When she noticed she was still holding the pink ball.
Standing up, she placed it on top of her clothes. And sat back down on the stool with the cleansing bar.
She took one of the water buckets and dipped the rag and the bar into it. Rubbing them together they made a lather and she started to clean her self with it. Taking extra special care of the skin near her cuts.
Kagome scrubbed for a near ten minutes washing away all of her blood and her fathers. Making the bucket of water with the cleansing bar turn brown.
Now done with the washing she took the other bucket of water and dumped it over her head to rinse away the filth.
The water that collected on the floor formed a puddle and when she looked into it she saw the face of a broken down girl. And crying wouldn't make it look much worse so she did.
And she wept.
After about eighteen minutes or so she stood up and covered her body in a white dress. Before she left the lavatory she shook her head of some of the water.
With the pink ball cupped in her left hand she picked up her ruined clothes and left.
On the way to her room she had to walk down the long hallway.
Now on a ship such as this, there wouldn't normally be any pictures hanging on the wall. But there was one and it was right outside her room. Her father put it there, one guesses, to console Kagome if she ever felt alone.
She stops and looks at it. A painting of her father and her mother standing together with a baby Kagome in between them.
Looking at her mother she gets a strange feeling of revelation. Her eyes widen and she drops her clothes.
And runs to her fathers room.
While Kagome was just stepping out of the lavatory, Inuyasha was just waking up.
It took him a few minutes to look around and realize where he was. When he did remember, his eyes wandered up to where Kagome sleep.
Or where she was sleeping.
Taking a deep breath, he could tell that she hadn't been in the room for a good thirty to forty five minutes. The way her scent lingered in her room gave him that answer.
Shifting in his seat on the floor he was about to get up when he heard faint footsteps coming down the corridor.
Listening closely he could literally feel them stop just before her door. He knew it was Kagome; he didn't have to smell her to know where she was.
Bracing his right arm on the wall he started to get up. It was hard considering the discomfort in his chest. After all that's where he was attacked. Inuyasha was standing now but just barely. When he went to open the door he heard the swish of something dropping, and then the pattern of footsteps running in the opposite direction of her room.
Inuyasha had the door opened now and he saw some clothes on the floor. Something had startled Kagome and he went after her.
"Where is it!" she shouted. The picture she had to find the picture. She had seen it before and it proved what she was thinking.
Busting into her father's room she practically attacked his desk on the left wall right in front of his four-post bed.
When everything in those drawers was on the floor she through open his closet right next to the destroyed desk.
There were clothes in it, but what mattered was on the closet bottom. There were a lot of boxes. Shoving the pink ball in her dress she started to tear them apart too. Sitting down on the floor she would take a box look in it and throw it behind her if it wasn't what she wanted.
She even found an old sword but that got thrown back among with the other things.
Letting out a growl she yelled out, "WHERE IS IT!" again.
Of course Inuyasha would find her. But he didn't expect to see her like this. With papers and most of her father's belongings on the floor
He got to the room just as she was in the closet. Walking closer to her he almost went right behind her when she started throwing things.
Before she could throw something else he walked past her and looked around her fathers room. There was a window that let in most of the light, and the bed that took up most of the room.
Inuyasha turned around to announce his presence but what he got was a sword sent straight to his head.
He let out a grunt but Kagome yelling, "WHERE IS IT", covered it up.
The blow was so unexpected that he almost lost his footing so he grabbed onto one of the posts on the bed, which made him look like he was drunk.
He watched her stand up signaling she was done with the closet so he yelled her way, "Dammit Kagome what the hell are you looking for!"
She turned around very suddenly because she didn't expect to see him there.
"Inuyasha," she says, "w-when did you get here."
"I'm not really sure Kagome, I think I have a concussion from that flying sword."
Her eyebrows scrunch in confusion as she looked from his head to the sword lying on the bed next to him. She remembers throwing it so it must of hit him.
About to apologize she feels the pulse of the pink ball in her dress and says instead, "Inuyasha I have to keep looking."
His eyes follow her as she walked up beside him and went to the floor. She is now searching under the bed.
But she comes back up with only one box.
He stares at her and he sees that her face is that of someone who has just found a buried treasure.
"This has to be it." She says. Taking one good look in the box she only sees a book and her face falters. And her eyes fill with tears.
Pushing the box more towards him she sits on the bed and takes one of the pillows and hugs it like it was attached to her.
Inuyasha who is sitting to the left of her is quite confused. He didn't know what she was looking for so he didn't know why she was crying but he put his arm around her anyways.
Kagome leaned into his embrace and stuffed her face into the pillow, but when she breathed in her father's scent met her senses. And it disturbed her.
Lifting her head she was about to out the pillow back when she saw something where it was originally lying.
Picking it up she let out a gasp and said, "This is it."
Inuyasha heard what she said and looked at what see held in her hand.
What was there was a small painting of a woman. And she had a striking resemblance to Kagome.
"Who is that...?" Inuyasha asked still confused.
She looked up at him and said, "It's my mother."
