Chapter 6

Kagome woke with Inu-yasha hovering over her. He relaxed when he saw Kagome's eyes flutter open. Kagome realized that she had passed out.

"Kagome..? When was the last time you ate?" he asked hoping that she had fainted just because of the pain. "Uhh.... The last time I ate was uhh I think a day ago" she was ready for Inu-yasha to yell at her right then and there.

"WHAT?! That means you better start cooking something!" he yelled. 'Why hadn't she'd eaten for so long??' Inu-yasha thought but then it hit him. She didn't have the time not after what's been going on lately.

Kagome took out a package or ramen and started cooking. She asked Inu-yasha if he would go get some more fire wood. He gladly went off and got some.

Inu-yasha came back to find Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Kagome and Shippo sitting in a circle. Inu-yasha put the fire wood in the fire and sat beside Kagome. She put her head on his shoulder and rested her eyes.

"Hey don't you fall asleep on me" Inu-yasha smirked at Kagome. She got off his shoulder so she could serve the ramen.

They ate their meal in silence but the silence was disturbed by a loud bang. Kagome shot up but fell back down again because her ankle started hurting again. Inu-yasha picks her up in bridal style and ran out the door.

They were closely followed by Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara. They had no idea what was going on and they wanted to know. But they hoped that nothing bad had happened.

Kagome was looking in the direction they were going in. She was wondering what was going on.

They reached there and found a gruesome sight. Inu-yasha gently let Kagome down to see if there were any survivors from the explosion.

Inu-yasha stopped at one person looked at Kagome then back at the person. Inu-yasha went back over to Kagome and whispered softly "Kagome there where no survivors but your dad was part of the explosion and died as well" he looked at her and saw tears coming out of her eyes. "I'm sorry" he said and pulled her into a tight hug.

Kagome couldn't believe it. She sobbed uncontrollably on Inu-yasha's shoulder. He couldn't blame her after all she had lost her whole entire family like he did. He knew how it felt.

Sango arrived at the scene and gasped. She saw so much blood and bodies that she couldn't take it. She grabbed Miroku and started sobbing. Miroku stroked her back trying to calm her down.

Miroku saw Kagome try to get up but failed once again. "Can you take me to him?" she asked trying to hold her sobs back. "Of course" he said concern was filling in his eyes.

He slowly picked her up and carried her to her Dad's dead body. One look and tears where filling her eyes again. Inu-yasha pulled her into an embrace "Oh Kagome, I'm sorry" he said trying to sooth her.

Then he smelt a demon coming and he let Kagome go. He stood up and Kagome turned into the half-demon she was and smelt it too.

"Inu-yasha don't" she said softly but Inu-yasha heard her. He came back down and asked "Do you know whose coming?" "I do... My twin brother" she said sadly.

She didn't want him to see this but she saw come out into the clearing they were in. "Kagome....?" The boy asked softly "Alex... I have bad news" she said trying to stand but Inu-yasha held her down. "Father is dead Alex" she said tears were welding up in her eyes again.

Inu-yasha pulled her into a hug again and tried to calm her down. He hated to see her cry but she had a reason to.

Alex shook his head as if he didn't believe her but when he saw his dad's dead body in front of Kagome he was in shock. He fell to his knees and tears where welding up in his eye's as well.

Kagome let go of Inu-yasha and told him that she wanted to be alone with Alex. He nodded his agreement and left her. He told the others to follow but they were in shock as well just by looking at Kagome. He tapped Miroku on the shoulder and he came to his senses and left. Sango, Shippo and Kirara followed close behind leaving brother and sister alone.

Kagome crawled up to Alex and hugged him crying on his shoulder. Alex let his tears flow freely. He just sat there with his little sister in his arms not believing what his eyes told him. He was afraid that he was really gone.

Kagome looked up at him and said "Since dad is gone I'm taking the mistress role" "What how come?" "Because I have a mate but I need you to take over for me. Just until I kill Glory and Naraku. Do you understand?" "Yes Kagome but do we still do our little show thing in front of villages?" he asked "Probably" Kagome smile at Alex and he smile back.

"You better get back to your mate. He must be worried about you." He chuckled "Yes Inu-yasha will be worried about me. Alex you go back to the pack me and my friends will bury Dad and then I will e-mail you and tell you the day we are having the service alright?" Alex nodded his approval and left Kagome.

'Now all I have to do is crawl back to the village' she sighed and started crawling but a silver and red blur picked her up and said "Your not crawling back to the village if I can't help it" he said and Kagome looked up to see Inu-yasha's smirk on his face. She smiled and snuggled closer to Inu-yasha.
