No Life Flower!
Chapter 8:
Keep me forever near. Can't you get over it?
~* Only in a dream… someday… *~
Inuyasha jumped from the tree, which was his resting-place, he wasn't able, nor was he going to sleep tonight. He looked around the campsite thoroughly checking of any irregularities in their place of stay. Sango laid silently on Kirara's back and Shippo at the very top of Sango's nothing out of the ordinary except that one little factor…
" Kagome. Why hasn't she come back yet… and where did she go?" Inuyasha moved forward from the tree towards Sango and with his right foot lodged it into her back.
Sango yelped from the pain that she had received from his foot pushing her spine inward. She moved over to face him; letting Shippo lightly slide his head to Kirara's back. "Inuyasha what is the meaning of this?" She asked curiously with a voice that was serious and dark.
Inuyasha starred down at her, his eyes were blank not much feelings at this point were seen in his cold rough golden eyes." Sango I know you know that Kagome's dying. I over heard you and her talking about it when I got back from her telling me and I'm willing not to kill you right now for not telling me if you tell me where she went to?" He said clearing out the scratchiness of the worry in his voice as he pulled his claws from his hoari sleeve, lightly exercising his fingers moving them back and forth to scare her into talking. He wouldn't really kill her, but he figured she wouldn't answer him otherwise. Normally he would be able to smell her sent and track her easily. However, that wasn't the case today for his mind was too clogged and feelings were going hay wire, the only way he would find her tonight is with Sango's help.
Sango only sighed heavily at his proposal. " Inuyasha you're so dumb." She said with bitterness.
Inuyasha's face faulted but not for long as he gained a look of sheer anger. He held his fist out in a rage, shaking it endlessly at her. " What's that suppose to mean?" he asked.
Sango stood up from her place of rest her eyes were much narrower then usual. " Inuyasha this picnic today wasn't meant for fun. Kagome was going to tell Miroku and Shippo she was dying but lost her nerve and didn't come forward. Once the picnic was, done she ran off with sadness and Miroku soon followed, after her as he could sense that sadness from her. As of now he might have gotten her to tell him the truth and that's were she is, talking to him… hopefully." Sango informed him choosing her words carefully not to anger him.
Inuyasha's eyes fell; Miroku had noticed what he could not, which was her sad heart. If not for his cluttered thoughts within his mind and lack of attention of his surroundings, he might have been the one to comfort her now. But because he was to busy swallowing his own pain of losing Kagome he felled to noticed that she was also hurting. He felt like a total jerk now. He looked from the green grassy ground eyes filled with dejection his mouth slumped downwards.
" Feh whatever." He said he said miserably. He didn't care much that Miroku was with her now, she did need to tell him, but still he did worry. " I'm going to think." He said as leapt from the ground into the big bushy trees leaving Sango with an all-knowing smile spread out across her face as she stood still, next Kirara.
" I knew it, you're going to look for her. Well this I can't miss. I'm sorry Kagome I hope you don't mind me spying on you." Sango stated for the record with a joyful smile followed by sigh. She glanced over at the kitsune and Kirara with worried expressions. " Ah they will be okay, Kirara will protect Shippo." With that said she then took off running down the forests open path taking her Hiraikotsu in hand over her back. She wouldn't miss this confirmation for the world; she was expecting it to be rather hilarious.
~|~
Kagome sat beside Miroku. They did not face one another instead, sat side by side arms wrapped around their legs crunched up into two small balls, under the nightly stars. A couple trees surrounded them; not many trees were around these parts, since it was, known as the grassy plains. Still she thought that it was a beautiful sight as you could see the stars clearly in the area, which made it the perfect place to be. The still silence was beginning to eat at her; why was it that whenever she told someone she was dying everything has to go silent. She couldn't take it anymore if he wasn't going to say anything then she might as well. " Miroku?" she stammered in a low tone.
Miroku leisurely turned to face her. His facial expressions were, filled with sadness and sympathy. She didn't want to him feel bad for her it made her sad that he was sad and sympathy wasn't something she wanted see people give her, she rather them be happy. " Yes Kagome." Miroku choked.
" Why do you look at me like that?" she asked curiously. Why did he have to look at her with sad eyes?
Miroku's eyes fell further as his hands fell to his sides." Because you are my dear friend and I am going to lose you. Moreover, you were the first person who understood my plight and although I stole from you, you forgave me no inquiries made and allowed me to travel with you. I have never met anyone like you, for you are one of a kind and Inuyasha is stupid because he keeps letting you slip from his fingers and doesn't realize how special you really are." He said in one breath and in a sorrow filled tone.
Kagome smiled at him jubilantly as it made her happy that felt that way about her." Thanks Miroku." She said happily and then returned her face to blankness. He nodded at her with a hurt smile. " I was just wondering," She paused for only one minute turning her face towards the stars and the endless abbess, which was the sky. " Well since you are monk one of your duties it to aid the common man with whatever their troubles might be, right?" She asked with much hope. She didn't bother to look at him as she rather a wait his answer without seeing his face.
" That's correct." He answered staring at her as she looked up at the sky.
She could feel his deep blue eyes burning against her skin. " Well Miroku as a monk I would like to ask you for help with a problem?" She informed him in a vague motionless tone.
Miroku looked at her with hard curious eyes, she wouldn't look at him when she asked for his help and he wondered why? He thought long and hard as to why she wouldn't look at him. It finally came to him; it was because she didn't want him to see her face when she told him her problem. In addition, when she received an answer if it weren't the answer she wanted to hear she would be able to hide the hurt from him and the disappointment. That brought up another point in his mind, what kind of problem would make her feel that way? With this curiosity, he decided to help her. " Anything, What is this problem that you speak of?" He asked hoping to learn of what would make act as she was.
She still didn't turn her face to meet his; she just kept staring up at the stars blankly. " You must keep this to yourself," She said in a dreary tone. She didn't look to see his answer, as she already knew that once she told him her problem he would keep it to himself.
" Well I had a dream and it scared me." She choked out.
His eyes opened with awe, the problem that she couldn't face him with had to do with a dream. " Well what was this dream about?" he asked stifling the fact that he was curious. She didn't want to ask him this as a friend she wanted to talk with him about this for his wisdom on matters close to this. Therefore, he would try to act out for her that she was one of his clients.
Kagome didn't know if telling him her nightmarish dream was such a good idea. For she didn't want him to worry about her as he was already showing the symptoms. It was too late now for she had already spilled out to him that there was a problematic dream. Miroku wasn't too bright when it came to women. Moreover, he always ruined the nicest moments he had with Sango but when it came to helping out someone whether he cared for them or not he was always there with the correct answers. Maybe asking him for help wouldn't be so bad after all. She then spread out her crunched up body and laid herself back using her hand to prop herself up from the grassy flooring.
" Well it is hard to explain but I will try my best."
Well I was, surrounded by darkness it covered me I felt cold almost frozen for only a short amount of time then it pulsated and then I saw myself. I was in a garden of wildflowers and all of you were there. Inuyasha held me, there were tears in his eyes, and I could feel my body disintegrating away. You, Sango and Shippo all watched from a fare with pained expressions. Then Inuyasha screamed with pain and sorrow. " KAGOME, I'm so sorry!" and then I returned to the darkness with those words ringing throughout my head. It was like that for only a millisecond as what I think were visions or something like it appeared, before me.
My first glimpse was of Inuyasha and he was sitting in the Goshinboku tree, there weren't any expressions in his face and he wouldn't even move, in the time that he sat there, no movements took place. People, who I couldn't make out correctly, passed him by some stopped and talked to him but he wouldn't answer, he was like a stone without a soul. It really scared me to see him that way.
Then that vision went out like a light and then came, another. I saw a shadow of a man I could tell that he had long hair that shined like sliver, he was very tall, and that was it for his appearance. He walked down a dirt blank path and from there I could not see any further.
I don't remember every vision that took place, what I do remember, however, is what caused my suffering. I heard a voice it laughed at me while I was, frozen in the darkness. Its laughter was, filled with mirth. This voice belonged to a woman as I went further into the darkness the form of the person came clear. It was Kikyou and she looked at me with her spiteful emotionless eyes, after a while of laughter she spoke.
" HA, HA, HA, HA, did you actually think he cared about you! You are me that is, all you will ever be! To Inuyasha that's all you will ever be a younger version of me! And once you die he forget you and come back to me…" Her voice was so cold, full of evil and hatred. I couldn't take it, and what she said is what bugged me the most. I began to scream for her to leave me alone. Nevertheless, she refused. Her laughter taking form once more. I wanted her to stop and leave me alone I almost felt like I was, on the verge of going insane and then finally I woke up.
Kagome had tears in her eyes, as what she had now told him was hard on her. She didn't want to believe her dream a reality but found it hard not succumb to it. Everyone told her that she was Kikyou's reincarnate and that she was strong only because she's apart of Kikyou, but why did that have to be true couldn't she be strong because of her own true heart, not Kikyou's. She couldn't take silence that Miroku had produced any longer, she had finished telling him her horrendous nightmare so now he should be telling her what it meant not being quiet and admiring the scenery for the stars. " Miroku can you tell me what that meaning of my dream is? I mean is it a vision or is just a meaningless dream?" She asked hoping the second part of her question where it's just a meaningless dream to be true.
Miroku's became, startled by her sudden outburst, he gradually gained enough composure to turn and face her. " I'm sorry Kagome I was just replaying what you told me in the back of my mind's eye." Miroku informed still in a daze.
Kagome gritted her teeth together as she eagerly awaited his answer and opinion of her dream. He still sat in same position as he was in before; his head hung high in the dark navy blue starlit sky. He wasn't answering her fast enough and she couldn't take the intensity of the moment. Her eyes grew wide and her lips curled down. " Well Miroku?" she said with much eagerness.
Miroku smiled at her in a daze like trance. " Well I think that parts of you dream could be true. The visions of Inuyasha and this tall man could be vision given to you because of your Miko powers but the part with Kikyou is not true at all and don't ever think it that way. For Kikyou is nothing like you as you are not one in the same. True you both have exceptionally strong Miko powers but they are not the same. Kikyou's power comes from her loyalty to her duties and her hatred for Inuyasha. While your power comes from emotions such as when you are angry over someone, you care about or don't even know, being hurt, or if someone just plain out ticked you off. Your power never comes from selfishness or because you are bitter such as with Kikyou, your power comes from your pure emotions thus forth you are not one in the same. You Kagome are nothing like her and defiantly not a younger version of her for you are fare more beautiful inside and out then she will ever be. It has to be true because I only grope beautiful women and I would never in a million years come close to thinking of groping her." Miroku said seriously with much truth but he couldn't help but smile and giggle at that last part. It was very true to him though; he would never touch someone who is as bitter, uncaring, and vile as her. He couldn't believe for a second that Kagome would actually think that Kikyou was better than she was.
Kagome gave him a hurt smile for she was happy that he thought of her as not a Kikyou remake but what about Inuyasha. The thought of Inuyasha thinking her as Kikyou was a thought that crossed her mind often. This dream knotted up her stomach making her feel sick inside, for some reason she thought it true now. Inuyasha as soon as she gave her last breath of life away would return to Kikyou and forget that she ever existed. She knew it would be true as she could recall how every time they would meet again, the looks in his eyes were always full of love and emotion but he doesn't ever show those emotions with her. It's because Kikyou and although, Miroku thinks that her soul is her own Inuyasha and everyone else thinks it differently. After those thoughts were ringing in her head awhile, she broke out in more tears.
" Even though you think my soul is my own, it is not true because to everyone else especially Inuyasha I'm just Kikyou reborn in a younger body. Everyone tells me how great it must be to have a soul, that belongs to an ancient priestess but it is not great. Can't I have my on soul can't my heart be my own I don't want to be Kikyou's shadow and the shadow of Inuyasha's lost love. I want to be my own person. Why can't that happen Miroku?" She questioned dejectedly with much pain and sorrow.
Miroku could feel his heart breaking before him. He slid his body closer to her and put his left-hand on her shoulder for comfort. He didn't look at her, just kept his vision forward as if he were to look at her his heart would be in pieces. He didn't like to see his friends hurting like this it just didn't seem right and just. " Kagome why do you cling to these false allegations, these people who call you a reincarnation don't know you and how completely opposite you are from Kikyou. As I told you before your heart and soul is your own for it grows and evolves from your own feelings, not Kikyou's. For if that were so that time you were pitted against Inuyasha and when your body was being controlled by that black priestess you wouldn't of been able to stop yourself from killing him. For it is because your different from Kikyou emotion wise and will power wise that you were able to stop yourself from killing him and destroying yourself." Miroku stated seriously once more but this time his eyes were, shut tightly.
Kagome couldn't believe what had come from his mouth; she moved her head to face the ground. She took the sleeve of her long sleeved school uniform and wiped the tears that covered the bottoms of her eyes away. Miroku was right. She is her own person and although people may call her and reincarnation she truly is not. For she is born her own person her soul and heart are her own and not that of Kikyou's they are not the same person nor were they ever. She would have to prove to Inuyasha and the world that they are not the same and they never were. She never used to believe her self, as Kikyou until that dream came about and why should she now. After her tears were, cleared from her face, turning to Miroku, she smiled with clam happiness. " Miroku." She said with a joyful tone.
Miroku opened his eyes to look at her happy face and then smiled back. " What is it?" He inquired curiously.
Kagome's smile deepened with thankfulness, she turned her full body to face him her legs tucked comfortably underneath her butt, and her hands grasping the ground. " You are a good friend and very smart for someone who doesn't know how to make a girl happy." She laughed. " For that I am thankful for your friendship because I don't know what I would of done if not for you setting me straight," She said with much gratitude. Standing from the ground she wiped the grass from her skirt and proceeded to walk towards him as he too lifted himself from the grass. Kagome smiled at him as he returned her enthusiasm.
" Thanks, I guess I should take that as a compliment." He said with a dopey smile. Kagome smiled as she nodded her head, they both then began to laugh with much mirth. After a while of laughing over the fact of Miroku being better at helping people with their problems instead of his own, Kagome deiced to take her leave.
" Thank you Miroku but I think I going to return to camp now." She informed him with a clear burden free conscious. He nodded his understanding; she then turned her back to him and walked on towards the pits of the forest.
Inuyasha leapt from tree too tree making his way back to Kaede's and the grassy plains that meet with the village. His face was blank as he had all concentration on getting to her in time before she was gone. Normally he would be in a hurry to get there before Miroku tried something with her. This time it wasn't the case for Miroku would never grope her when she is hurting nor would he try anything for fear that Inuyasha would kill him. He knew that Kagome would be safe with him. There was only one problem on his mind and that was that he wasn't the one with her easing the pain and suffering in her heart, that was supposed to be his job not Miroku's.
He soon came to clearing of the grassy plains and there in front of him was Kagome she was running towards him; though not because she saw him but because she was leaving Miroku now to return. He glided down to the ground landing right in front of her. He could see the still awe in her eyes and all-over her face.
Kagome stopped dead in her tracks; She gazed up with astonishment as Inuyasha glided in the air gracefully closer to the ground in front of her.
" Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked with little curiosity as she rather knew he was there looking for her. She still wouldn't admit to that yet, as she wanted to see his answer.
Inuyasha looked up at her his eyes didn't not reveal the slightest emotion. " I came to make sure you haven't gotten into any danger." He stated blankly. He didn't want to sound too caring as he was scared deep down inside to be, rejected by her and have his feelings thrown back in his face. He wasn't expecting what happened next, a beam filled smile came out across her lips and face. She then marched up to him with a happy notion her hair blowing everywhere because of the sudden wind currents that now took place; she looked so beautiful. Kagome smiled joyfully at him practically putting his heart out of commission.
Elsewhere Sango, who had made it there before Inuyasha, was sitting behind some bushes that lead into the forest; she had taken a short cut so that she could see everything that went on betwixt them all. She loved to watch Kagome and Inuyasha get closer to being together; it was fun to watch a love like this one play out. They both were shy people when it came to showing that they care or even loved one another. She just hoped that Inuyasha wouldn't choke this time and mess everything up and send Kagome crying home like he always did whenever he got close to telling her that he cared or was jealous or that even loved her. However, she could recall Kagome telling her that he did care that when she was dying, so, maybe he won't mess up this time. All she could do now was hope.
Kagome marched on until she was right in front of him. Her joyfulness tuned down, she had now a smile, curious look. Inuyasha looked on at her; a dumbfounded look on his face could be, seen as he stood perfectly and still.
" Inuyasha, you were worried about me?" She asked him curiously. Inuyasha gulped and his face became red, he was choking again and didn't know what to say, as he became very shy. Why did this always have to happen to him? Kagome moved in closer to him with look that told him she was a waiting for his answer. He could feel himself beginning to panic. Finally, he pulled himself together, gaining a cold stare; he crossed his arms and turned away from her.
Kagome herself also gained a look that expressed her being perplexed, for she did not know why he just turned away from her like, he was angry at her or something. What did she say wrong? Why was he acting this way? She tilted her head to the left, staring at him curiously.
" No, I wasn't worried." He said trying to cover up the fact that he was. Although Kagome could see right through that lie, he had created. She didn't really understand why he would hide that from her. What would be the point?
" What's wrong Inuyasha?" She asked, why would he be so cold to her? He just came rushing over here to where she was and then he acts as if he wasn't afraid that something happened to her? Her heart about jumped out at her when he started growling.
" I said I didn't care!" He yelled harshly at her. Her mouth opened wide and her heart gasped from the sudden hurt that soon threatened to eat her soul alive. Her breathing fell short, her eyes were open wide, and clear, a single tear ran like a shimmering silver moon down the side of her cheek. Why was he being so mean to her? What did she do? Well she wasn't going to let him walk all over her. She took her long sleeve and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Although Kagome couldn't see it, Inuyasha too was, hurt by his words. He kept his back turned to her for he couldn't bear to see the hurt in her eyes nor allow her to see his. He screwed up again; he panicked and didn't know what to say to her so he blurted out some fowl untrue words towards her. Why did he have to choose those exact words? Those were the worst possible words he could have said to her.
" Inuyasha, I knew it was true. Your happy now aren't you?" She said tearfully but to him all he could hear was the pain, the agonizing hurt in her voice.
Miroku still stood in his place at the edge of the grassy plains. His eyes were full of astonishment and anger; he couldn't believe that Inuyasha would act this way to her. What made it worse was that Kagome had confided in him with her troubling dream and he helped her. Now he feared that everything he told her would be for not. For Inuyasha's hurtful words probably will set her back to where she once was before he talked to her.
Sango clanged her hands around the bush branches with all her might. She had an irritated tick off look in her eyes. It just couldn't happen nicely could it? Inuyasha just had to mess this moment up too. She wanted to kill him right about now as she saw the pain in her friend's eyes.
Kagome stood there in her place, she brought her hand to her heart, grasping her shirt tightly as if he was trying to take her heart out of her body. However, she soon changed her tune and let her hand fall down to her side. This heart is what caused her pain and the way she felt right now. The more ironic thing was, it wasn't her own she wished she could get rid of it but knew that it was impossible. Inuyasha didn't care about her; all she was to him was jewel shard detector and a reincarnation of his lost love. The only reason he ever acted nice to her or protected her was so that she would help him find the Shikon shards. Nevertheless, he probably didn't care if she just died either, that way he wouldn't have to worry about her feelings and run off with Kikyou. She still waited for his answer, she hoped that she was wrong, that he didn't mean what he said, that he wasn't happy he hurt her. However, she knew it for not, he just stood there not even looking at her practically handing her the answer… he didn't care. She wanted too but couldn't stop the tears from falling gracefully from her eyes. It wasn't enough that she would be dying soon, she just had to be told by the person that she loved more than anything that he didn't care if she lived or died or about her. She couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't look at him anymore it hurt her heart too much. Why dose my heart hurt if it doesn't even belong to mean? It's Kikyou's, so why is am I dying from it if it doesn't belong to me? No one would allow her to have her own heart…. But why? Why can't she say that she was dying because of her own heart getting sick? It just couldn't be, could it? Well enough thinking it was time now, she couldn't be in this world anymore with him here as a constant reminder of her pain.
" Inuyasha don't answer that, I know what you're going to say. This isn't my heart and I am not my own person to you just a double of Kikyou. It doesn't matter if I live or die cause you will always have Kikyou, right?" She stated hysterically in pain. Why must he do this to her? Why does he have to put her heart out of commission, even if it's not her own true heart? She wiped the remaining tears from her eyes it seemed clear now, that everything she had ever thought was true. She turned from him, took a deep breath, then proceeded to run away frantically towards the well. She wanted to die here with him happily, but that didn't seem like a possibility anymore.
Inuyasha listened to her words with an ache in his heart but still kept his back to her. For some reason her words paralyzed him in his place, they tore at him inch by inch. However, the last words she said to him 'it doesn't matter if I live or die because you will always have Kikyou.' those words weren't true. He wouldn't be happy if she were dead, he would be miserable. He could feel the cool brush of wind pass over him. Was she leaving? She couldn't leave him now, not when she hurting as she was? He used the strong currents in the wind to turn himself around at an expedient rate to face her.
" Kagome wait." He said in rush, trying to stop her from running away from him.
Kagome kept running never turning to look at him once. She wouldn't look at him ever again. Even so, she would still leave him with words of truth.
" Your stupid Inuyasha." with that said with pain she ran faster then she ever had before in her life. She couldn't take anymore of this. She ran through the forest not even looking where she was going, branches of trees and bushes tore at her clothes as she ran through them. Some ripping at her skin in her face, arms, and legs causing slight bleeding to erupt. She didn't care how hurt her body became it was noting compared to the hurt she received from Inuyasha.
Finally, she came to the grassy clearing and in the center of this clearing was the Bone Eaters Well. She stopped in her place; her breathing was heavy from the long run her eyes still rung with tears, her mouth showed that she was scared to go through the well. If she goes through the well now, she won't get to die with her friends nor will she tell them her last wishes. None of that mattered now, if she were to go back she would only be sad and full of sorrow and that is not how she wanted to die, she wanted to be happy. She then moved slightly from her place slowly moving forward to the well. Once she was standing right next to the well, placed both of her hands on the rim of the well looking down into the pitch black darkness. She still felt bad for leaving them all without a goodbye but how could she go back after what she said to Inuyasha. Wiping all the doubt from her mind, she swung her self over the rim going through the dark hole in the well.
~|~
Inuyasha looked on down the path that Kagome had taken it was a path he knew all to well; it led to the Bone Eaters Well. She was truly leaving him, she was dying, and he wouldn't be able to say goodbye. His face was full of sorrow as he tilted his head looking down at the path she went through, he could smell that her sent was completely gone from this world. A knife cut his thoughts as something was, lodged into the back of his head.
" Hiraikotsu!" He knew once that was, said that Sango had smashed her big boomerang into the back of his head, near the higher part of his neck. He fell down headfirst into the ground. His face and not to mention his head felt like they were ran over by a herd of raging Youkai.
" Inuyasha you're so stupid," Sango then took her boomerang and held it straight down pointing the sharp end to the back of his head. Then once she placed it right, she constantly lodged it into his head causing him to yelp in pain. " Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid." Sango repeated in anger.
Inuyasha could feel all her rage being forced into, his head. He thought it was going to go on forever however, for one second it did stop. He couldn't even move himself to see why. Nevertheless, he would soon know why as he heard a voice.
" Sango you can't kill him, not until I get my turn." This voice belonged to Miroku and he seemed as angry as Sango, he knew that Miroku heard there conversation and had the right to be angry but Sango wasn't here. He was going to think more on that subject until the beatings came again. Miroku took his staff in hand, beat him over the head, and used his foot to stomp on his back. " You are such an idiot Inuyasha, couldn't you see that she was already hurting enough as it is, you just had to make it worst. Now everything I did was for not, how dare you, stupid." Miroku said callously. He could feel his back being, blown out. Anymore of this would cause him too not able to walk any longer. Finally, the beatings seized.
He rolled himself over to face them both, his eye's were kept emotionless as he saw the rage, anger and sorrow that was expressed through his friends eye's. Sango walked forward to him. " Inuyasha, you are so stupid! How could you tell a dying girl that you don't care about her?" Sango stated, irately. So he was right in his conclusion of her, she was indeed was watching them from a far. From knowing that as the truth, he gained enough strength from his rage to pull himself from the crater in the ground that was, caused by the strong currents in the beatings that he had received.
He clenched his fist tightly and shook them in her face. " You were the one who chose to watch, and you know how I said I wouldn't kill you, well I changed my mind." He then lunged at Sango just in time to have his neck come face to face with Miroku's staff as he pushed it in hard through his neck sending him flying into the ground causing another crater.
Miroku looked down on him with slight disdain. " Inuyasha, trying to kill Sango isn't going to make up for what you did." Miroku said spitefully. He then walked over to him and knelt down to his level.
" Inuyasha you truly don't how much damage you just caused her, for she told me something however, I promised to keep it a confidential. If you don't go bring her back now you will be sending her to the grave without what she thinks a soul and heart." Miroku informed, his eyes looked as if he were about to cry. The words that he had told Inuyasha rang through his head like unbreakable resonation it could not and would not stop, the ringing wouldn't stop. He didn't understand it. Why would him not bringing her back make her die with out a soul or heart? He lied fully on his back, his mouth opened slightly as he starred up at he stars while he recalled the words she spoke to him before she ran off. 'Inuyasha don't answer that, I know what your going to say. This isn't my heart and I am not my own person to you just a double of Kikyou. It doesn't matter if I live or die cause you will always have Kikyou, right?' he could still remember the look of sheer pain and not belonging that was in her eye's. He sat up firmly with his eyes and body in a daze like state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors Note: Wow! That was a long chapter, well I know about half of you reading this probably want me dead right about now! Nevertheless, do not fret for this is my gateway opening and setting to my plot in my story for I will let you all in on a secret. Somewhere in the near future (Like a couple of chapters later.) I shall bring Kouga, Kikyou into this picture and you will find out why later. Inuyasha as you all probably have figured out will make up with Kagome. I hope that eased all your minds so now you can put down your chain saws, bow n' arrows, crossbows, guns, Butcher knives, Sakabatou's, Fang swords, ECT. Cause there's no need for a murder charge for something that doesn't have to be, right? I am right, RIGHT? * Teardrop. ~_~ *
Ja NE, for now!
