Inuyasha's Loss
Hi...here's the chapter thirteen. This is the chapter where KiLaLa goes home and Naraku's not done with her yet! In this chapter KiLaLa visits her mom's grave.
13. A Cold
Inuyasha came to the spot where Kagura took KiLaLa. Her scent stopped at that place. He tried to find a scent of her everywhere, but it was no hope. He would go back to Sango's hut every night and go back every morning. One day, Inuyasha gave up and stayed at the hut, holding the shikon no tama and thinking of KiLaLa. Kanaye would sit outside in front of the hut, hoping KiLaLa would come running back to him.
The sun rose and shined through the window on KiLaLa's face. She opened her eyes and quickly got out of bed. She shook Phoenix. "I'm sleeping," she said and rolled over. "We go home today," KiLaLa said and Phoenix sat up. They ran down to the kitchen together.
Sesshomaru and Rin were already awake and eating breakfast. Rin was still half-asleep. KiLaLa and Phoenix climbed into the chairs. Sesshomaru gave them fruit for breakfast. They ate quickly and got dressed in some better kimonos. They grabbed what they needed and ran to the front.
Rin went to the side of the castle and grabbed Ah and Uh. They got on and started towards Inuyasha. When Sesshomaru got close, he landed. They walked with Sesshomaru and Rin leading. Soon they came to the hut.
Kanaye was sitting outside when he saw Sesshomaru and Rin. "Inuyasha, it's a demon," he yelled and didn't move. Inuyasha walked outside and saw his brother.
"What do you want?" he asked. "I have something that belongs to you." Sesshomaru stepped aside and KiLaLa ran to Inuyasha. "Daddy!" She hugged him tight. Inuyasha was so happy. He picked her up and hugged her. Kanaye got up and went over to KiLaLa. Inuyasha put her down and watched. Kanaye and KiLaLa hugged each other. "I didn't have anyone to play with," he said.
"Well, you'll have more than one friend soon." KiLaLa went back to Inuyasha. "Daddy, I have a new friend and she doesn't have any parents. Can she stay with us, please?" she asked. "Let me meet her first," he said. KiLaLa motioned for Phoenix to come out.
Phoenix came out from behind Sesshomaru. "This is Phoenix. She's a wolf demon and stayed by my side when I needed her." 'She better not be Kouga's daughter. She did say that she had no parents,' Inuyasha thought. "She has no where to go. Please, daddy?" KiLaLa begged.
"If she has no where to go, I guess it's alright." KiLaLa hugged him. "Thanks, daddy. We'll be really good. I promise!" Inuyasha smiled and watched them play.
Sesshomaru walked to Inuyasha. "I would keep an eye on her, Naraku is planning something." With that warning, he turned around and left with Rin following.
Inuyasha didn't ask KiLaLa about Naraku. He wanted her to enjoy her time back. The three kids played all day until they were so tired that couldn't run anymore. Sango got up and picked up Kanaye. "It's time for you to go to bed," she said and went inside.
Inuyasha got up and walked over to KiLaLa and Phoenix. "Let's see, how am I going to carry both of you?" he asked. Phoenix smiled. "How about I carry you by your toes?" he asked. KiLaLa and Phoenix laughed. "No!" they yelled, but Inuyasha was too quick for them. He grabbed them around the waste and brought them inside.
Sango and the girls fixed dinner while the guys talked. "KiLaLa, since I'm going to live with you and your dad, what should I call him?" Phoenix asked. "That's true. I'm not sure. why don't you just ask him?" Phoenix watched KiLaLa smile. It was the happiest she had ever seen her.
Sango served dinner and everyone gathered around the fire. "Daddy, Phoenix has somethingg to ask you." KiLaLa watched Phoenix grow nervous. Inuyasha stopped eating and looked at her.
"Well...umm...I was wondering since I'm going to be living with you, what should I call you?" she asked. "You can call me anything you want, but make sure it's okay with me first." Phoenix face turned a little red. "I did have something in mind, but now I'm not sure..." Inuyasha laughed a bit. "Try me," he said. "I was wondering if i could call you dad since I never had one."
Inuyasha was surprised. 'I didn't think of that name,' he thought. "Well, you are going to be living with us really long and I'm going to take care of you the same way I take care of KiLaLa so...it's just fine if you call me that." Phoenix smiled.
"See, that wasn't so hard," KiLaLa said and patted her on the back. "That's easy for you to say." They all continued eating and talking about their future.
The kids played everyday and the adults worked and watched. Soon winter came and everything started to settle. The kids spent more time inside, snuggled in warm blankets than outside in the snow.
One day Kanaye got bored and so were KiLaLa and Phoenix while watching their parents talk about boring things. "Hey, do ya'll want to go play in the snow?" he asked. "Dad said we couldn't go out there." Phoenix snuggled more in her blankets. She and KiLaLa had a normal kimono on. Their heavy kimonos were still drying by the fire so they were cold.
"Yea, but they're not paying attention to us so we could sneak out just for a few minutes and have at least one snowball fight." KiLaLa and Phoenix smiled. "Okay, just for a few minutes because we don't have heavy kimonos on."
They quietly got up and sneaked outside. Once they were outside, they ran to the clearing and started the snowball fight. Phoenix got cold and started sneezing. KiLaLa laughed at her. "Why are you making that funny sound?" she asked. "I don't know," she said and covered her nose. "She sneezed," Kanaye explained. "What's that? Is it bad?" Phoenix asked.
"You mean ya'll have never had a cold before?" he asked. They both shook their heads. "Well, it's a sickness that makes you sneeze and your nose get stuffed up. It's nothing deadly, though." Phoenix didn't like that. "I don't want to get a cold so i'm going back."
She started to walk back to the hut. "I'm going, too. I don't want to sneeze," KiLaLa followed. "Wait for me! I don't want to stay here by myself!" he yelled.
They got to the hut and quietly snuck back in. KiLaLa and Phoenix pulled their blankets over them. They had just settle in their blankets when KiLaLa sneezed. That got their parents attention. "Looks like someone is getting a cold," Sango said and felt KiLaLa's forhead.
Phoenix tried to hold back her sneeze, but it was no use. "You, too. I guess you have a pair of sick kids, Inuyasha," Sango said and laughed a bit. "I don't know anything about colds. When Kagome had them, you always took care of her," Inuyasha said. "It's really simple. You just make sure they get enough bed rest and hot soup." Sango covered up KiLaLa and Phoenix.
"But I don't want to go to sleep," Phoenix said. "Me either," KiLaLa said and yawned. "See, ya'll are already tired." Sango laid them down. As soon as KiLaLa laid down, she fell asleep.
It was dark and she couldn't see anything. "Hello?" KiLaLa called out. No one answered. "Is anybody there?" she called out again. She heard a low laugh. She smelled the air. "Naraku..."
"Correct." Naraku appeared in front of her. "I told you I wasn't done with you. You didn't think that I would break that promise, did you?" he asked and laughed. KiLaLa growled at him. "Well, don't worry. I'll be done with you soon enough. I have lifted the curse of a thousand knives, but who is to say I won't put another curse on you," he disappeared.
KiLaLa jerked awake. It was nightime and everyone was asleep. Phoenix was tossing and turning under her blankets. KiLaLa rubbed her back and she calmed down. Kanaye was sleeping in the corner with his parents. She looked to the other corner and saw Inuyasha.
She crawled over to him and saw that he was shivering. KiLaLa got in his lap and put the blanket over the both of them. He stopped shivering. KiLaLa fell asleep, feeling safe in his lap.
Inuyasha woke up and felt something in his lap. He looked down and saw KiLaLa curled up in a ball. 'How did she get here?' he thought. She stretched out and looked up at Inuyasha. "Morning, daddy." She yawned and sat up to see everyone else still sleeping.
"You want to go visit your mom," Inuyasha whispered. KiLaLa nodded. They got dressed in their heavy kimonos and Inuyasha wrapped KiLaLa in a blanket since she was sick. They quietly left the hut and walked to the well. When they got to the well, Inuyasha could tell KiLaLa was still scared of it. So he picked her up and held her tight.
"Don't be scared," he told her. She just nodded and he jumped in. A bright blue light shined around them and they landed on solid ground. Inuyasha jumped out of the well and started walking to the sacred tree. When he got there, KiLaLa jumped down and smiled.
"Hi mama! I told you I would come and visit. Guess what? I made two new friends. One is a boy that's my age. His name is Kanaye and he's Sango's son. The other is a girl and is going to live with me. Her name is Phoenix and she's a wolf-demon." She tried to hold back a sneeze, but it came anyway. "And I got my first cold..."
Inuyasha watched KiLaLa talk to the grave and felt sorry for her. 'It must be hard without a mom,' he thought. He breathed in the air and recognized the scent. He heard voices coming closer.
The old man came through the bushes with a boy following. He stopped when he saw KiLaLa and Inuyasha. "KiLaLa! Inuyasha! I didn't expect you to be here," the old man said. The little boy behind him was confused. "Oh...this is my grandson. His name is Sakura. He's about two years older than you, KiLaLa." She smiled. "Nice to meet you," she said.
"Let's take a walk and explain everything to him," the old man suggested. They started to walk away, but Inuyasha stayed. "Are you coming, daddy?" KiLaLa asked. "No thanks. I think I'll stay here, but you keep warm. Remember, you still have a cold."
KiLaLa nodded and left with the old man. When they were out of sight, Inuyasha kneeled at Kagome's grave. "I wish you were still here. KiLaLa misses you so much and...I miss you." His dog-ears twitched and he sensed someone behind him.
He turned around to look. "Kagome!"
Hey ya'll...I'm so sorry for taking so long. Writer's block came and gave me a visit and she was a real bitch, too. Plus my computer's internet was down. Thanks for all the reviews on chapter twelve. I'm so bad for leaving a cliff hanger, but ya'll forgive me right? Right? My daughter is sick and I think I'm catching it so send me some 'get well' waves please! Now I'm going to answer some frequently asked questions.
