To Rule The Darkness

ch. 5 Thoughts


"Kyaaaaa!"

"Shit!"

Inuyasha and Kagome fell down the stairs, getting bruises along the way. They landed with a huge thump in an.........awkward position. Inuyasha's face was only inches from Kagome's, his body over hers, at the foot of the stairs. Both stared at each other for some time, not moving, not speaking.

'Mother Night, he may be a baka but he's so sexy! Wait, what am I thinking?!' Kagome thought.

'Hell's fire, she looks.......and smells so damn good! ..........What the hell am I thinking?!' Inuyasha thought.

They stayed like that for a while. Until a random squirrel ran by and threw an acorn at them. Then they both blushed about fifty shades of red and sprang apart from each other. There was an embarrassed silence.

Kagome recovered first. "You get back to resting! Ok, so you don't have to stay in bed, but you can't run off either!"

"Feh."

Miroku woke up with a pounding headache. "Owww........itai.......what happened?" He muttered to himself, feeling a large bump on his head.

A small cat poked its head in the door, then ran back out when it saw he was awake. Minutes later, two boys came in. The one with his hair up in what looked like a short ponytail gave him a cup of water and some medicine.

"So you're finally awake now, huh? I'm Kohaku, this is Souta, and Kirara's the cat, although she's not always this little."

".........exactly how long have I been unconscious?"

The one called Souta though for a little while. "I'd guess it's been about a day. Sango did hit you pretty hard. Oh that reminds me! I better go tell her you're alive again!"

Souta ran off and returned a little while later with a Red-Jeweled witch who walked up to his bed to lean over him.

"I'm Sango. I'm sorry I knocked you out earlier.......it was a reflex.........are you feeling better?"

"Much better, thank you very much, lovely lady. My name is Miroku."

Sango blushed. That was the first time anyone had ever called her lovely. Then she felt a hand on her rear.

"PERVERT!!!!!"

Sango didn't have the Hiraikotsu with her at the moment, so she had to make do with her fists. Miroku was still conscious after she was done.........but was covered in bruises.

Sesshoumaru watched Rin play with Shippou in the gardens holding a drink in his hand. He had no clue what it was, only that it was in a flask on Inutaishou's desk.

He had always wanted to be Witch's Consort. But until he met Rin, he did not know that Witch would have made him want her so badly........Not just her body and the power he would have as her Consort.........He wanted to love her, and have her love him back.

Sesshoumaru took a couple sips from his cup. Then some more. It tasted good. The world now seemed pleasantly fuzzy and warm..........

Inutaishou walked by and took a look at the glass in Sesshoumaru's hand. "You didn't take that off my desk did you?"

"Yeah. This stuff tastes good."

Inutaishou shook his head. "That, my dear son, would be Rin's Gravedigger. Judging from how much you've drunk from your cup, I'm surprised you aren't smiling at the whole world. The stuff's so damn strong.........."

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly, then he put down the glass. "Then I'm glad I only drank a little. I'd prefer not to smile like a fool, thank you very much."

Sayoko had watched Kanoe leave. She pondered what the former Black Widow had said. 'My son is going to serve Witch........not as Consort, but as part of her First circle........a very high and honorable position..........I'm proud of him already............and Inuyasha might not have even met the Witch yet! But what was it that Kanoe said about one of my cousins?' She thought for a while longer. 'Oh yes...........Moriko's daughter will also serve. Well, I didn't know Moriko had a daughter. I would like to meet her...........perhaps I will meet her in the Dark Court.'

Sakuya, the demon-dead Gray Healer Queen, listened to the murmurings of her fellow demon-dead. One or two of the more recent ones spoke of a Red-Jeweled witch in the forest who was deadly with her weapon, a giant boomerang..........

Sakuya smiled, an eerie, unsettling smile, coming from one who still bore the slit across her throat from ger death. 'Ah, I'm glad Sango's still thriving. And if she is, so are Kohaku and Souta. A pity Souta's mother didn't have the strength to become one of the demon-dead. She would have liked to know how her son is doing...........and her daughter..........whom I've never met.'

She turned away from the inhabitants of Hell and went by Gate to the Hall. Inutaishou did say she needed to be back soon to teach Rin more of the Healing Craft.
