Yay!! I'm so happy!! I got 7 reviews today!!! Sooooo..I'm gonna do the shout outs up here instead of at the end of my chapter!
Shoutouts:
Guardian of the Hell Gate: It would make me so happy if you kept reviewing :))
TheGoth: I know. He misses her so much! Its so sad.
anime hurl: He got his wounds when they were fighting Naraku.
yoshikurobladedancer: My next chapter is dedicated to you
anime gurl: you did ask a lot of questions lol and I'll try to answer them. Shippo remembered Kagome because he was so close to her. Eventually because of Kikyo's spell, no one will remember her. Kikyo is slowly poisoning Inu and that's why he won't wake up.. and Kagome won't jump down the well because she doesn't remember the Warring States Era or ever going there. The well house creeps her out kinda becaues its tied to her lost memories.
tiffany: Awww. Thank you so much hunny.
Lady-Raini: I'll try to put in some longer chapters just for you :)
And thus concludes my Shout Outage!
clears her throat Ahem! I hereby dedicate this chapter to... yoshikurobladedancer! You lucky dog you.
Yay Fluffieness!!
Chapter 8
Shippo wandered the forest, wondering what he should do. He was totally lost and night was drawing nearer and nearer. "Ooooh. I wish Inuyasha was here. He might be a big jerk but at least he can protect me."
A figure stepped out of the shadows and caused Shippo to scream.
"MIROKU!" Shippo attached himself to Miroku's leg and tearfully told him how scared he was that he would be lost in the forest forever and how he was all alone and how...
"Shippo shush. You are fine now. Follow me and I'l ltake you back to Mine and Sango's camp." Miroku turned and began walking towards the camp, Shippo trailing happiliy behind him. When they got to the camp, they saw Sango sitting with her back to a tree, lost in her thoughts. Miroku, noticing the sad look on her face walked over to where she sat and kneeled down in front of her.
"Want to talk about it?"
Sango simply sighed and looked off into the distance. "I feel funny..like I've lost my best friend, like I left her somewhere and I can't remember where." tears welled up in her big eyes and Miroku felt his heart constrict. He hated it when she cried. "
You're so stupid Miroku!" she said, tears streaking down her cheeks.
Miroku looked shocked.
"Stupid? What did I do?" he asked in a confused voice.
Sango leaned forward and wrapped her arms around the monk's neck.
"You're always chasing after girls, asking them to bear your children. Don't you see how much that hurts me? Don't see?! I...I love you Monk."
Miroku's eyes widened as Sango thew her arms about his neck and he held her close to him in a daze. 'she..she loves me'
Miroku pulled back from Sango and looked at her. Her head was down and her bangs covered her eyes. He tilted her face upward and smiled at her softly. He gently wiped her tears away and looked into her eyes. "Sango...Was it so hard for you to tell?"
Sango looked confused.
"To tell what?"
Miroku hugged her close to him and whispered in her ear. "I love you too Sango. Only you. From the very first day I saw you. You mean the world to me Sango."
Sango held onto Miroku as if for dear life. "Do you really mean it?" she murmured. "Do you honestly and truely mean it?"
Miroku gently pushed Sango back so he could look at her. "From the bottom of my heart Sango. I love you."
Sango's eyes widened in suprise as Miroku's lips came crashing down on hers. His arms tightened around her and he kissed her passionately. Finally he pulled back and smiled at her.
"You don't know how long I've been wanting to do that."
"Ahem!" Shippo cleared his little thoat in an annoyed fashion. He tapped his foot impatiently. "I AM still here you know."
Miroku and Sango looked at each other and blushed. Miroku rose to his feet and took Sango's hand, pulling her up with him. Shippo just rolled his eyes and walked over to a nearby creek.
"Geez, they're worse than Kagome and Inuyasha. Wait? Kagome? Who's that?" he looked down at the whispering creek as if it held the answer. He closed his eyes and thought hard about who this Kagome person could be. A woman with dark hair came to mind, she was kind, almost like his mother, but when he tried to see her face, it blurred. Blurred and Blurred until he couldn't take it anymore. He opened his eyes and looked over to the fire where Miroku was "helping" Sango cook dinner. He cracked a smile as the sound of a flesh hitting flesh resonated through the area along with "MIROKU YOU HENTAI!!!"
At least some things were back to normal. If Miroku was groping Sango already then things should be back to normal soon. He couldn't get the name Kagome out of his head. It ran around and around in his mind until he couldn't take the craziness anymore. Walking up to Miroku he tugged on the hem of his robe.
"Hey Miroku."
"Yes Shippo?"
"Whose Kagome?"
Miroku frowned. "Kagome...I've heard that name before. I can't remember where...but. Never mind." he murmured.
Shippo looked at Miroku impatiently.
"What did you say Miroku? I didn't hear you."
"I'm sure its just some name you heard somewhere. I'm sure its nothing Important."
Shippo pondered this for a moment. "You're probably right, ok! That answers my question." He smiled eviliy. "You can go back to groping Sango now." Miroku sweatdropped and looked nervous. "Uhh..you saw that?"
Shippo scoffed and folded his arms. "How could I not have seen it. You're about as subtle as Inuyasha when it comes to groping women. Puh - leeze! I'm gonna go play. Get me when Dinners ready will you?"
Author: Tut Tut, seems our little Kitsune is picking up Inuyasha's behavior. Bad Bad Inuyasha!! Back to the story!!
Miroku merely nodded his head and went back over to Sango and started pestering her again. Shippo played tag in the nearby clearing with Kirara when a shadow passed over head. Kirara stopped and growled and Shippo pointed up at it.
"Woo!! Would you look at that snakey thing Kirara! That sure is creepy." The "snakey thing" as Shippo had so elegantly called it passed over them, ignoring them completely, followed by another and another and another.
"Wow Kirara, there's a whole flock of them!" he raced back to the camp, eager to tell Sango and Miroku about the demons he had just seen.
----------------------
Kikyo waited outside her mountain fortress as her soul stealers slowly circled her, releasing their daily cache of the tormented souls they had stolen. Kikyo glowed as the souls entered her.
"Soon I will no longer need to sustain my body with these souls. Soon Inuyasha will come to hell me!"
Her eyes widened as she heard a sound from behind her. There leaning on his tetseiga stood Inuyasha.
"I..Inuyasha..why are you up?"
Inuyasha growled. "Where is Kagome?"
Kikyo smiled at him. "You're much better off withou..."
"I asked you a question! Now WHERE IS MY KAGOME?!"
Kikyo drew back, lookingas thoough she had been slapped. "YOUR Kagome?! Surely you don't mean to imply that that girl means more to you that I do."
"I know exactly what I mean to imply, now where is she?!"
Kikyo smiled smugly. "You'll never see her again Inuyasha. I made sure of it."
