Chapter 5: Fire, Love, and Death...?
Princess Sango
"Kagome..." Kagome didn't move her vision slightly blurry from the tears. Her mom moved towards her and sat down at the edge of the bed.
"You love him that much huh?" she questioned.
"Y-yes, I've been with him for overeight years. He comforted me when I was homesick." Her mom looked up at her; she was now sitting up and looked at her mom.
"You should've known that you would have to leave him sometime. He being a Lord would make you vulnerable."
"I know mom but... I just love him so much!" Kagome blushed at the sudden outburst.
"Kagome, he wouldn't want you to be sad. After all, I'm sure he misses you too."
Kagome looked down at her hands, "I just can't stand being away from him."
"Don't worry."
Inuyasha was quiet as he reached his house. Sango kept looking at Miroku, like she couldn't believe that it was really him. Miroku kept quiet, "Why did they take me? I told them to go and leave me there." As soon as they opened the door they could hear Sayaku and Miroku Jr. yelling for... help?
"Please Inuyasha?" asked Sango wearily. Inuyasha nodded and headed towards the two screaming children.
Kagome had gotten out of bed and was trying to remember what some foreign things did. "Don't worry about your old memory here, you'll learn," her mom said to Souta and Kagome.
"Now I know how Inuyasha felt," said Kagome to no one in particular.
Kagome first tried to make lunch and forgot how to use the toaster. Kagome's mom had laughed and showed her how to use it. Kagome felt foolish, but her mom's reassuring words kept her from giving up.
Inuyasha had found the children. They were huddled in a corner, scared of Kevin and Kathy. Inuyasha looked at the frightened kids, "I have to save them! But must I kill my own half brother's family to do it?" He must make the decision now. Inuyasha attacked swiftly and they both fell to the floor.
Sayaku and Miroku Jr. thanked him and hurried to his parents. Inuyasha picked up the two children and placed them in a room to rest. He headed towards Miroku, Sango, Miroku Jr., and Sayaku.
Kagome had just lain down in bed. "This is getting a little easier though I wish he would just come and get me." Kagome heard movement from the futon and footsteps.
"Mama?" asked Inuya softly.
Kagome moved to the side and allowed Inuya on. "I miss him mama, I know Inuyasha Jr. does too. We all miss him." Kagome hugged her and Inuya cried softly.
Inuyasha walked outside of his house. The scent of Sesshoumaru was strong. "Inuyasha, my kids okay?" asked Sesshoumaru as he walked towards Inuyasha.
"Just knocked out. They're safe in Kevin's old room."
He nodded, "I'm sorry for my children being so hostile. They were born here too you know."
Inuyasha was confused, "Let my family leave and I will let you take over again."
"Okay, I'll give you a month. Go get Kagome, she misses you. I'll watch over the house." Inuyasha nodded and looked at the house one last time. What he didn't know was that would be the last time ever.
Kagome got up from her bed as she sensed Inuyasha. The window opened and that gave her the answer. Kagome ran to him, "Inuyasha! I'm so happy!"
She hugged him and felt like she couldn't let go of him. Inuyasha hugged her back. "Can we wait till our family wakes up? Souta can't come with us this time."
"I smell smoke," Miroku said through pain. Sayaku and Miroku Jr. came inside.
"Mama, papa! The house is on fire! We must flee." Sango hurried the children out the back door and got Miroku through. Sango went back in to look for Kirara and inhaled too much smoke. Sango collapsed, giving in.
