Between Two Words
Chapter 3- Change of Character
Kagome gasped at the figure that stood before her.
"You were the only one that changed him. I suppose I underestimated you girl. Who would know that a human such as yourself could have the strength to stand by a demon and a hanyou in the battle against Naraku. I have buried your comrades. You have had enough for a day. One question though."
"Yes?"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you try to change him? Why did you do everything that you did?"
"I stayed here at first because it was exciting, although I hated your brother." Kagome waited for the 'half-brother' correction but it never came. "Then, I learned to love him as her was. Why would you change something that was fine the way it was? I just accepted him and was a friend to him, that's all. It's amazing what happens when someone has a person that they con trust and accepts them for who they are."
"I see," Shesshomaru walked up towards Inuyasha's grave, "You fought well my brother. You've proved yourself worthy. Full demon or not. You've died with honor. Rest in peace…Inuyasha-san.
Kagome smiled. Never before had she heard Shesshomaru refer to Inuyasha even close to that. It was nice but sad at the same time. He turned to Kagome.
"Come, and I will take you to where your comrades have been laid to rest."
Kagome nodded, got up and followed. Glancing back at her hanyou's tomb to make sure it was still there and half-hoping to see him up in his tree safe-and-sound. Never happened. Kagome looked around and could still see limbs, blood and other such things. The strong smell of blood had almost left Kagome but, it was torture for Shesshomaru, who was becoming sick to the scent of Rin's blood.
Flashback
Shippou's body lay on the ground. Kagome ran over and picked him up, rocking him slowly.
"Shippou?! Shippou?! Shippou please wake up!" Kagome begged but her surrogate never moved. She moved her hand from the back of his head and it was a deep shade of red. Kagome screamed and tried to wipe off the blood in the grass. Having the child's blood on her was something she never wanted. "WAIT! He's still bleeding! He's still alive!" a small beam of hope invaded the girl's mind. "Inuyasha, distract him for a bit." she said loud enough so that only he would hear. Inuyasha looked over, saw Shippou and nodded.
Kagome ran to behind the God Tree, where her backpack was, to get the first aid kit.
"C'mon Kagome. Let's go. You've got to hurry." She tried to make herself move quicker but in doing so, she hadn't realized what was going on around until Inuyasha was flung into her. They both cried as they hit the ground and the kitsune fly from her arms. Kagome watched her fur ball fly, in what seemed to be slow motion and suddenly; his eyes flew open. The girl couldn't help but feel excitement. Shippou landed and started to run towards her (to the best of his ability of coarse) calling, "Kagome! Kagome!" so happily. The two were starting to get up. Inuyasha on Kagome's right and the tree on her left. Kagome held out her arms to the kitsune and called to him. Shippou never made it. The child never made it to his surrogate parents.

The two arrived at the graves. Kagome looked at each one, reading the engraved inscriptions.

"Did you do all this?" Kagome asked quietly, in a mix of amazement and disbelief.
"Yes."
"I'm sure they appreciate it."
Shesshomaru looked at Rin's tombstone, he made sure to carve hers neatest and give her the best flowers. Since, she was only a little human girl and, the only human he ever loved.
Flashback
"I smell fresh blood. Human blood. It must be Naraku's work again. Since, he is the only demon that would attack a human and be willing to face my wretched half-brother and those pathetic friends of his." As the full demon approached the scene, reality struck. "That scent. I recognize that scent. It's Rin's." Shesshomaru arrived on the scene to fund Rin and Jaken's lifeless bodies. He immediately pulled out the Tensaiga. But when he pulled it out, he could not see the demons the netherworld. It was too late they were gone for good.
