Chapter 2: What Kagome Saw
Inuyasha hesitated, but he ran off towards Kaede's village, knowing the others would be there. Only minutes passed and he was at the village. He walked into Kaede's hut, "Miroku, Sango, Shippou, come now" He demanded as he walked back out of the hut. 'What's the big deal Kagome?...Making me come all this way just to get the others...What did you see?' Inuyasha brushed his thoughts away as he looked back at the others.
"What's this about Inuyasha?" Miroku asked as he walked out of the hut soon after he did.
"Kagome wanted you all to come and see something....I guess." He looked back forwards and began to walk towards Kagome's scent.
"What is it?" Shippou cheerfully jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder and smiled widely at the hanyou.
"Feh, how should I know? She saw it, and pretty much demanded me to go get you guys." Inuyasha grumbled as he looked down on the ground.
"What do you think she saw Inuyasha?" Sango asked as she heaved her Hiraikotsu onto her shoulder for a better grip.
"I dunno...we heard a child crying it seemed like. Maybe a dead whelp?" Inuyasha shrugged, not knowing himself what she could have seen.
"That could be reasonable...but we will have to hurry if we all want to find out." Miroku stated as he quickened his pace and the others quickly followed behind him.
------ NEW POV------
Kagome was still frozen, her eyes never leaving the sight inside of the lonely tree. A young boy...beaten none the less. He was covered in blood, bruises, scars, and scratches. 'Who could ever do such a thing...Monsters...' She took a deep breath and crawled into the hole in the tree and shook the boy lightly. The boy didn't move. Kagome tried again, picking the boy gently up into her arms, yet to discover another shocking surprise. When she picked him up, his silver hair moved...revealing two dog-like ears. Kagome was speechless....'What in the...' She slowly reached her hand out, but a voice shouted out and she stopped instantly, recognizing the voice.
"Where are you?!" A young girl ran nearby and spotted the hole. She leaned down and peeked inside, "Eh..."
Kagome's eyes widened, "Ki...Kikyo?..." She froze.
"...Give me my child wench." Kikyou's voice was full of....fear. To Kagome's surprise, Kikyou seemed like she was afraid for some reason.
"This...is your child?" Kagome sat dumbfounded. All she could do was stare at Kikyou, then down at the child. "...But...how?"
Kikyou entered the tree through the small hole and slowly walked over to Kagome, "Please, do not hurt him...Just hand him over now."
Kagome looked back up at Kikyou as she entered into the hollow tree. "How is this your child? Kikyou, and...why does he resemble...Inuyasha?"
Kikyou just smirked at her question, knowing that the truth will eat at Kagome's pure heart. "Why would the baby not have.....his father's traits?"
Kagome's heart skipped a beat, "His...father? How is that...possible?" Kagome felt as if her world just threw her out down into hell and back again.
"Yes...Inuyasha is his father....and I am the mother." Kikyou just loved the expression on Kagome's face. She reached over and took the infant from Kagome's hands and held the child close. Mumbling sweetly in the child's ear, "It's alright, Mother's hear. You'll see father soon, Inukai..."With her prize she wanted, Kikyou stepped out of the hole in the tree and continued to walk into the forest, holding the bruised and battered child close to her.
Kagome just sat there, in shock. 'We've been search for the jewel for about 3 years now...that child looked as if he was 2 or so...But, Inuyasha, how could you...'
Nearly 10 minutes later, Inuyasha and the others soon arrived at the tree Kagome was still sitting in. "Kagome?" Miroku's voice was heard, though Kagome didn't budge from her spot in the tree. Looking down at her lap, her black bangs covered her eyes.
"Kagome?" Shippou jumped into the tree, "She's in here!" He announced and the others entered the tree.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango knelt down beside Kagome and laid her hand gently on her bests friend's shoulder.
Kagome said nothing. Her eyes still covered with her bangs, she slowly stood up and passed everyone as she climbed out of the tree and continued to walk.
"Eh..." Everyone stood up and followed quickly behind her, wanting to know what was wrong. Everyone...except Inuyasha that is. He stayed inside the tree and looked around. With a sniff of his nose, he found a familiar scent, Kikyou. 'Why was Kikyou here?...I smell Kagome and Kikyou...but there was one more person here.' He spotted a small rag and walked over to it. He picked it up and inhaled it's scent. 'Eh...this has...two smells on it.' He sniffed again, 'Kikyou is on it...and...I can't get this other scent. It almost smells like....me' He shook his head, knowing he had never seen this rag before. He put the rag in his kimono and began to follow the others into the forest.
