Red Eyes is coming to a close soon, but the vampire/demon we love
will be featured in upcoming fics. If you have Yami art, just e-mail it to
the following address: ((yamiinuyasha301hotmail.com)). In Inuyasha news,
there is going to be a fourth Inuyasha movie coming to Japanese theaters,
while the first move: "Affections Touching Across Time", will be released
in American theaters this summer. I will have more updates on the process
of the fourth movie as soon as I can. And now I bring you back to your
regularly scheduled fanfiction, with some tears.
Miroku sipped his sake as Kagome emerged from the room where Yami and Inuyasha lay injured. The four female vampires had gone off, and they were probably not going to return soon. The monk looked into Kagome's hurt eyes, raising an eyebrow in worry.
Sango had also seen her friend's hurt. "Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango suddenly stood up, causing Kirara to mew as the fire-cat was thrown from her sleeping spot. "They aren't...dead, are they?"
"No...if you count a vampire as alive, no one's dead yet." The three humans looked to see Yami and Inuyasha walk to where the rest of the group sat huddled by a stove. Kagome ran to Inuyasha, who fell when he stepped down on his foot the wrong way.
"It's...just a scratch, Kagome. I can get up by myself."
Yami scoffed. "Still too stubborn to accept some help. Miroku, would you mind lending me your staff?" The demon/vampire took Miroku's staff and used it to support his weight. Inuyasha finally gave up his pride and allowed Kagome to help him up. Yami shuffled to the farthest side of the room.
"No listen," he said, his voice a loud whisper, "The moon will change tomorrow night, and Inuyasha will be human. I know you'll want to fight, but stay inside, Inuyasha."
The half-demon scoffed "Bah! Are you calling me a weakling? I can fight just as well without my powers. I don't need you to baby-sit me!"
Yami sighed. "Will you shut the hell up for once?" his voice became gruff with Inuyasha's constant irking. Then, Yami continued when Inuyasha huffed, but kept his mouth closed. "Shippo, I need you to stay here with Inuyasha on that night. You'll be in danger too. You could possibly die. Everyone else will be fine. And if you want, I'll stay here with Shippo and Inuyasha. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight..."
"Because your scared? Bah, and you're supposed to be Mr. Big bad lord vampire version of me."
"Actually, I am afraid." The group looked over to Yami, who had his bangs covering his face. "If I'm to fight...I might lose control again. Then...I wouldn't forgive myself. Kagome would be dead."
Kagome let a small gasp. "W-why me?"
"Because he saw you. You pinned him down with arrows just now. He'll do anything to get out and...and then...I can't say what he'd do in front of children."
"But that was you she pinned, Yami," Sango added in.
Yami shook his head. "No, that wasn't me. That's the true vampire I was, the one that dominated the feudal ages. The one...that killed all of you. You were lucky that he was too busy with trying to kill Inuyasha that he didn't come after you. I'm glad you took him by surprise. If you don't mind me asking...would you make some ramen, Kagome?"
The rest of the group fell asleep soon after, except for Yami and Kagome. He was quietly eating his ramen while Kagome readied her sleeping bag for the night's slumber. She tried to keep her mind off of the battle coming soon...
"Yami?"
"What is it?"
"What will happen to you? After the vampires attack and are destroyed, I mean."
He shrugged. "I'll probably become a part of Inuyasha's soul and not exist anymore. I don't really know, but I do know that tonight's my last night in peace."
She turned, looking into his crimson orbs that swirled as he stared off into the stove's fire. "Your...last night? But you're already a friend! You can't go!" She could feel the tears beginning to form in her eyes.
Yami's ears drooped as he heard Kagome beginning to sniffle. He never thought he'd have anyone cry over him. It pulled at his heart.
"Kagome, stop crying. I don't want tears when I leave, and I don't want them now. I don't deserve them."
She walked over to Yami and sat down beside him. "Please...there must be a way for you to stay!"
"Even if I did want to stay, there's no amount of magic that would allow it to happen. You don't understand...it's my time to go." He placed his cold, pale hand over her warm one. "I'm old. My to pass on is well overdue. I've fought all my life to live, and now, I want to be in peace. No more fighting, no more living in the night. I'd truly be happy." He entwined his fingers with hers.
She couldn't help but let a few silent tears fall from her face. "So...this is goodbye?"
Yami let one of his wings wrap around Kagome like a blanket. "Don't think of it as goodbye. I'm just...going to be somewhere else. We'll be sure to meet again someday."
Kagome sniffled, then curled up inside Yami's wing, letting out a small yawn. He could still feel her tears falling as she let sleep overcome her body.
"Just don't cry when I'm gone..."
And another chapter is up. What will happen to Yami? Review, and I will get started writing on the ninth chapter soon.
