Chapter 8
Chat through the hearts and minds
Inuyasha was still on a branch of Goshinboku; the tree that Kagome had freed him from. His eyes were closed and tried some deep thinking. 'Kagome, why did you go, I'm so sorry that we couldn't help you, I'm so sorry that I failed in protecting you, we just needed a little more time' He closed his eyes tighter to think of her and all of a sudden he heard a voice 'Inuyasha, don't worry about me, so don't beat yourself up giggles' Inuyasha heard the voice inside his head
'I know that voice... Ka-Kagome? Where are you?' 'Inuyasha relax, I'm right here, don't need to freak out you know' 'Kagome, please come back to us, I can't go on without you' 'Sure you can, I'm in your heart' 'my... my heart?' 'Yes, and I will always be there' 'Of course, I know that, but still... that's not good enough' 'Oh Inuyasha... you'll never change will you? Nothing is ever good enough for you.' 'Wh-what, what do you mean?' 'It doesn't matter, just be happy, things will get better, I'm sure of it' ' How can I be happy with you not around?...' 'You will know, besides you have Kikyou, or at least you will soon' 'I don't care, I want you to understand Kagome, Kikyou doesn't mean everything to me! You mean alot to me to!' 'I'm not going to argue with you but... I have to go now, but don't worry about anything okay? Just be happy, that's what I wanted for you this whole time, ever since I broke the Shikon Jewel and started to have feelings for you' 'Kagome no! Wait! Please!' 'Goodnight... Inuyasha' Inuyasha's eye's opened wide and gasped. "Was that... a dream? Or... was it... real?"
He put his hand next to his heart "Kagome" in a soft voice "it must have been real... but what did she mean" He jumped out of the tree and walked to the hut where he saw Miroku. "Inuyasha, feel any better?" He looked to him as if nothing had happened "Yeah I guess, why are you out here?" "They are preparing Kagome to burn her to put the ashes in a grave." He said it while looking down "I see, I'll talk to them before they burn her corpse." "Why may I ask" "I'm not sure... but we'll have to wait" "If you think she will return to us Inuyasha, it will be impossible" "Grr, Shut up monk!"
'Shippo...Shippo' 'Huh? Mommy?' 'Yes Shippo, it's me' 'Mommy, I don't see you, where are you, I miss you so much!' 'Don't worry about that okay, So how are you doing??' 'I'm fine, Kaede and Sango on dressing you and they said they're going to put your ashes into a grave when they make your grave and burn your body' 'Um... that's nice to know that their going to burn my body... kind of... but I'm glad your okay, I'm sorry you had to see me during the time you did' 'I don't understand mommy' 'Oh well, it's okay, promise me something?' 'Sure, anything for you!' 'Promise me to make sure Inuyasha and the others get in trouble?' 'You can count on me!' 'Of course, I knew I could' 'What are you going to do?' 'I don't know, but I have to go for now, okay?' 'Okay' 'Bye Shippo' "bye mommy" he said softly and it caught Sango and Kaede's attention "Hmm... Shippo, what is it?" Sagno and suspicious "I was talking to mommy" He made Kaede and Sango confused. Kaede understood when he said mommy though Sango was still confused "Child, what are ye talking about? Kagome is not one of living so how could ye talk? "She talked to me through my heart! Even ask Inuyasha, I bet he'd believe me!" he pouted and went outside still saying "You guys never believe me just because I'm the kid!" Inuyasha was returning from Goshinboku feeling a little bit better thanks to Kagome. Everyone had put their attention to the little fox, all wondering what was going on and ran on to Inuyasha's shoulder "Inuyasha, if I said I heard Kagome's voice would you believe me or not?!" Everyone that had their attention turned to Inuyasha. "Yeah, I believe you" he said with such confidence and Shippo gave a smile. They then started to talk about Kagome and how she was talking to both Inuyasha and Shippo, but they didn't believe them, they thought that they just missed her to much.
"Lord Sesshomaru, look, what is that?"
"That is a dragonfly. Rin, lets be going now"
Rin started to skip around Jaken "Yes Milord, Master Jaken, lets go"
"Stupid girl, master, where are we going"
Sesshomaru didn't answer him just did his normal back-off glare to Jaken
"Sorry master, I had no right to ask! Please forgive this unworthy demon!"
'Hi Rin, it's been a while hasn't it?' a familiar voice said to Rin "Huh, who's there?" she spoke out with out knowing it "What is it Rin?" "Nothing Milord, Rin thought Rin heard a voice" with that said Sesshomaru had started his leave once again 'Rin, I'm surprised you don't remember me, I'm Kagome, the one who's been around Sesshomaru's brother' "Oh, Lady Kagome! Nice to here you, but where are you?" When she said Kagome, Sesshomaru paused and just waited for Rin to stop with her weird conversation. 'Sorry you can't see me Rin, I'm not living anymore, I'm one of the dead now, sort of' "No, but Lady Kagome can't be dead, how? Why?" 'Naraku put poison in my neck and so I had died because last night and I think he did it so because he thought of me as a threat to him I guess' "Naraku is a big butthead!" "Rin, are you talking to Kagome somehow?" Sesshomaru was curious "Yes Lord Sesshomaru" She said it in a happy yet sad tone as Sesshomaru knelt down to her "Is something wrong Rin?" he was suspicious "Lord Sesshomaru, Lady Kagome died"
She clutched his right leg and cried into it and Sesshomaru's eye had that shocked look in his eyes "You mean the wench that follows my week half-breed brother?" his eye turned to his regular state again "Yes Milord, can you help her!?" He raised an eyebrow to her "Help her?" "She helped me in my sickness when Naraku took me away and she protected me too she plays with Rin and makes Rin happy, we have to repay her for that" "Rin" "Please please please please please!" more tears came out from her "Rin, stop this" He stood up and started to walk "Please Lord Sesshomaru, she's like a mother to Rin! As Lord Sesshomaru are a father to me!" she tried to sound serious for once towards Sesshomaru while he just sighed inwardly "Lets go, now Rin" he raised his voice only a little and Rin sighed in return "Yes Milord, bye Kagome maybe we can talk again soon?" 'We might, but I'm not sure, I shall be leaving this world soon.' "Aw ok, so Lady Kagome won't be able to be near Rin anymore?" 'Of course you will, I'm in your heart so don't forget me okay?' "I'll never forget you!" 'I best be on my way now, bye' "Bye Lady Kagome" Rin started walking behind Sessomaru as well as Jaken was.
'Sesshomaru, can you try being just a little nicer to Rin? She is just a little girl, and she does care about you a lot giggles' 'Lady Kagome, why do you want to talk to me? Or, communicate thru people's heart that you are in?' 'I wanted to see if there was a spot for me in you' she giggled a little more 'I see, is that all?' 'No, I have a request for you' 'a request you say' 'Yes, but you have to do something for me also' 'go on about this request of yours..."
