Chapter 12: Goodbye Baby
When they all sat in Kaede's hut and talked about Lauren's umm 'mood swings', Kaede realized who Lauren was.
"Inu Yasha, Lauren WAS meant to kill you." Kaede said.
"Kaede-baba, you think I don't know that already. Tell me something new." Inu Yasha said rolling his eyes.
"She was created by your father to do so. Well her spirit-the part that WANTS to kill you. The other part is her own and she uses it as she wants. To hate or to love, either one." Kaede explained.
"Created by my father?! Why?" Inu Yasha asked looking over at Lauren. "I guess he regretted having you. I don't know for sure, but it was he who wanted to kill you so he chose Lauren since she was not of this time and no one here knew about her but him and Sesshoumaru. That's why your brother was here when Lauren first came here to this time." Kaede said looking at Kagome.
Kagome was quiet. She was shocked that her BEST FRIEND was born with a soul to kill..Inu Yasha. "I feel sorry for the girl." Sango said glancing over at Lauren.
"Aye, as do I. A beautiful young girl such as herself cursed with such a terrible destiny." Miroku said. Everyone was quiet for a moment. "What I don't understand is her two personality changes. She goes from being friends with Inu Yasha to hating him and the hate turns her into her killer self?" Kagome said.
"There is a part of her that wants to be Inu Yasha's friend." Kaede said. "Can she control when her assassin side comes out?" Kagome asked.
"It seems only to be triggered by Inu Yasha." Kaede said. "Feh, it's always me." Inu Yasha said to himself when he looked over at Lauren.
"Daddy..?" Lauren whispered. Kagome heard her and went over to her friend. "Lauren?" She whispered. A single tear fell from Lauren's eyes and her eyes opened slowly. Kagome gasped when she saw them.
'Oh shit!' Inu Yasha thought. Lauren jerked up and Inu Yasha backed away slightly. Lauren held her ribs in pain and was quiet for a moment.
"Where is he?" Lauren asked. "Who? Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked. "No, for once I'm after another demon!" Lauren said and scrambled to her backpack. She opened it and Baby jumped out and onto Lauren's shoulder. Lauren was very happy to see her friend safe.
"I'm leaving, and you can't stop me whether I'm injured or not. Come for all I care, but don't get in my way!..please..." Lauren said picking up her bag and walking slowly out of Kaede's hut holding her ribs in pain.
"Inu Yasha-?" Miroku asked. "Let's go!" Inu Yasha said and immediately jumped up and everyone left Kaede's hut (except Kaede ^_~)
Lauren was standing waiting in the middle of the village. Inu Yasha walked up to her and looked straight into her eyes. They were violet..but she was not in a killing mood to kill him. They stood staring at each other for a moment. Inu Yasha noticed Lauren's eyes were changing.
'She's ganna faint again.' He thought. They changed from violet back to the blue-green of her normal eyes. Inu Yasha stood there expecting her to faint but she just stood there smiling. She saw Sango and Miroku and went over to them.
"I'm sorry, I didn't give you two a good first impression when Inu Yasha and me fought. I'll make it up to you, I promise." Lauren said smiling. "Oh, one thing though.." Lauren said and whispered something in Sango's ear. Sango laughed a little and smiled. She looked at Miroku and then back at Lauren.
"Don't worry, it wont happen. And if it does, I'll do something about it." Sango said. Lauren smiled and started to walk out of the village, playing with Baby.
Miroku watched her and seemed to trail from just watching her to watching her butt.
"MIROKU!" Sango yelled and slapped him.
"WHAAAAAT!" Miroku asked acting innocent.
Lauren turned around and saw Miroku rubbing his face where a big red mark was. She laughed and so did Kagome and Shippo. Inu Yasha just rolled his eyes and said, "You'll never learn, will you?"
Miroku just looked at him like nothing had just happened. "Can we go now?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Yes, let's get going." Miroku said patting Sango's butt. Steam seemed to blow from Sango's ears. "MIROKU!" She yelled ready to use her boomerang bone on him, but he ran to Inu Yasha and hid slightly behind him so Inu Yasha might get hit first.
"Coward." Inu Yasha said and Miroku gave him a dirty look.
Everyone was still worried about Lauren changing again. But they went on their way, looking for shards. Lauren followed hoping to run into Naraku.
Shippo, Sango and Kagome were all walking together, while Miroku and Inu Yasha were walking and talking to each other. Lauren was in the back playing with Baby. She wanted to-for now stay away from everyone because she just just met Sango and Miroku and they seemed to not like her very much after they saw the fight with Inu Yasha. Miroku and Inu Yasha were talking (mostly Miroku) about Lauren. Miroku kept looking back at Lauren and checking to see if she was watching or doing anything.
"She's a very beautiful girl. Not as Beautiful as Lady Sango but still beautiful." Miroku said smiling.
"Feh." Inu Yasha replied to everything Miroku said. The girls and Shippo walked behind Inu Yasha and Miroku.
"Kagome? What happened to Lauren?" Shippo asked.
Kagome glanced back at her friend. "I don't know, Shippo. But leave her alone for a while. I think she's still a little upset about her dad's death." Kagome said shivering at the thought.
"She didn't seem very happy when she first got her. As a matter of fact, she looked more like she wanted revenge for something." Sango said slightly looking over her shoulder at Lauren. Kagome just shrugged and looked at the ground. Lauren was playing with Baby, the one thing she does when she gets upset the way she did today.
"Why do they keep looking back at me?" She whispered. "Hey! That tickles." She brushed her face and got Baby's whiskers to move.
After a moment Baby got on Lauren's other shoulder and froze. "What's wrong Ba-" Lauren stopped, she felt something move quickly by her and something cold and sharp hit her neck.
"..." Lauren froze.
Baby lay on her shoulder motionless. "Baby?" Lauren whispered.
Inu Yasha turned his head slightly because that was the first thing he'd heard Lauren say in a long time. Baby slipped off Lauren's shoulder and into her hands.
"Baby?" Lauren said. Everyone turned around and saw Lauren crying. "Lauren what's-" Lauren shoved Baby into Kagome's arms before Kagome could finish.
She turned around and yelled. "Naraku!"
There was no answer. "NARAKU!" Lauren yelled again even more angrily. Finally a faint laugh could be heard.
"Naraku! How dare you!" Lauren yelled turning to the laughter. "I told you what would happen if you returned without an answer." Naraku said.
"That was my pet! My family and my friend! You never said anything about her!" Lauren yelled as tears ran down her face.
"One by one in front of you is all I said." Naraku said calmly.
"You-You Bastard!" Lauren yelled as she saw Naraku come out of the woods near the group.
"Next in line.." Naraku said coming close to Lauren. "Don't touch me!" She said while he walked closer.
Everyone stared at what was happening. Finally Inu Yasha jumped up and yanked the tetsusaiga out, ready to fight.
"Naraku, what are you doing here? Why did you just kill Lauren's rat?" Inu Yasha asked getting closer to Lauren to protect her.
"She isn't a rat, she's a ferret." Lauren said calmly but her fists were clintched and tears were still falling down her cheeks.
"Whatever." Inu Yasha said rolling his eyes. Naraku took this chance and took out his sword, trying to attack Inu Yasha.
"Inu Yasha, Look out!" Everyone yelled. Lauren jumped in front of him and the sword that was meant for Inu Yasha, was now in her stomach. Naraku stopped and took the sword out of her stomach and threw it aside.
"OUCH!" Lauren yelled. Naraku stared at her in disbelief. His hands were slightly shaking. He didn't mean to harm Lauren because she was the one person he wanted and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
Inu Yasha was surprised Lauren just saved him. "Lauren!" Kagome yelled and ran to her. Lauren gave a small smile that meant that she was okay.
"As I was saying," Naraku said looking at Lauren, "Next person in line-someone you love dearly, but you haven't seen in a long time."
Lauren looked at him angrily. "Don't touch him." Lauren said calmly.
"He will be gone too if you don't make you decision soon." Naraku said and disappeared.
Lauren dropped to the ground. "No...not him..please. Not my brother, too." Lauren whispered crying into her hands.
"Lauren we need to fix that up, you ganna lose more blood if you let it stay like that." Kagome said. Lauren stood up and looked at Inu Yasha. "I don't even get a 'thanks' from you? What am I, Chopped liver?" Lauren said smiling slightly.
"...Thanks" Inu Yasha whispered so no one could hear but Lauren could and she smiled. "Your welcome." She said weakly and fell forward into his arms.
"Lauren!" Kagome yelled.
After a while Lauren woke up in warm arms. She jerked awake because she thought something happened. She found herself in Inu Yasha's arms and everyone sleeping around a campfire.
'What happened?' She thought. "Your awake? Good. Get off me then." Inu Yasha whispered so not to wake anyone.
Lauren slowly got up and looked at Inu Yasha. Without a word she sat down next to the campfire. "I hate this place. I'm glad my brother-Oh crap! I just remembered...He's a-a-a demon. I have to find him before Naraku does. He must be here..because he moved away..far away when I was 5." Lauren whispered.
"But how did he become a demon?" Lauren said to herself.
'Her brother's a demon?!' Inu Yasha thought surprised. He was listening to her talk to herself.
"Baby..Leon..Who's next after Leon-if he dies?" Lauren said.
"Get some sleep, wench! We're not stopping for a while." Inu Yasha said jumping into the tree nearest to Kagome. Lauren shot a look of hate in his direction and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Inu Yasha asked. "None of your damn business." Lauren said picking up her bag and a box that sat next to it. "Feh, if you get lost its not my fault." Inu Yasha said rolling over in the tree. Lauren walked a little ways. Then she stopped and remembered where she was. The group didn't get that far from the God Tree so she knew that she was near it. She walked a little longer and found it.
She took the box and set it down next to the tree roots. "I want to go home. But I can't. I have to find Leon." Lauren said to herself.
Then she turned around and set the box under the roots of the tree. "I'll come back for you." She said and got up. "Goodbye Baby."
She walked away from the tree with her back over her shoulder and didn't look back.
