I got more reviews! Thank you all so much! Reviews make me sooo
happy! I'm going to try and make this chapter long just like my other one.
Here's chapter11.
Chapter11
It was still very dark outside. It was a cold, dark night. Almost every thing in the forest of Inuyasha was silent... Almost.
In the top branches of the God Tree, where a young boy had been under a spell for fifty years, there was a small light. If that boy had been there that very moment, he would have jumped to the top of the tree to investigate. There he would have seen a man with red eyes, and long claws. Sitting at the top of the tree, creating a small light with his hands. The man appeared to be healing a wound he had received in battle.
He was muttering random rants like, "They'll pay!" and "I'll kill that monk!"
But what probably would have made the hanyou attack the strange man, was when he said, "But first I'll get that half demon and girl!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha happily lay next to Kagome, hoping, praying she didn't wake up. Just so he could lay with her for a little bit more.
'Kagome.' Inuyasha thought. 'Be strong until the others get back.. Please.'
Inuyasha stroked her hair and then lay down again.
'Don't leave me Kagome.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called up to Inuyasha.
"Kagome, I told you to stay in the hut! That medicine's not going to last forever! Call me when you need me!" Inuyasha said irritably with his eyes closed.
Inuyasha jumped down from his tree, and walked up to Kagome.
"Well, I have to get fresh air don't I?"
Inuyasha sighed in defeat. He knew Kagome wouldn't go back in the hut until she wanted to. Even he wouldn't want to be crammed up in that hut all day. It smelt of the sick people who had been in the hut, and also of old herbs. It was too much for a demon. Even Kagome could smell it!
"Well? What do you want?"
"I'm going on a walk, wanna come?"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Why would I want to walk around? All I have to do is fly." (I know Inuyasha can't really fly, but I wasn't going to put All I have to do is jump.)
"Ok," Kagome sighed. "Have fun sitting here by yourself."
Kagome walked away from Inuyasha, toward the edge of the village.
'You would think Inuyasha would at least come walking with me.. Oh well.' Kagome sat down at the edge of the village, on top of a hill, and watched the villagers work.
There were woman in the gardens, and men in the fields. The sun was beautifully shinning, making the scene even prettier.
"Ah, feudal Japan.. It's a beautiful time to live," Kagome said aloud.
"Yes, but also so violent," a voice said behind her.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome turned around to see. No, it wasn't Inuyasha. It was a man with red eyes, and a small scar on his forehead.
"Um hi. Who. Are you?"
"Oh, pardon my rudeness. I am. Raku."
Kagome stared at the strange man, who also had a strange aura around him.
"I'm.. Kagome." The man stuck out his hand to shake Kagome's hand, but Kagome declined.
"Oh. I'm sorry, it's just."
"You don't have to explain. Many people find me strange. It's probably because of my red eyes."
Kagome couldn't deny that. The man really was handsome, but his eyes. That just messed up all of his features.
"Do you live in this village?"
"Well, not really. I kind of live here when I come to look for.."
"For what? Come on. You can trust me."
Kagome pulled one of her jewel shards out from her neck, and looked at it.
"We've been searching for the jewel shards, for quite some time. I accidentally shattered the jewel in battle, and now my friends and I are trying to get the jewel shards before a demon named Naraku does."
"Wow." Raku said, acting amazed. "Can I let you in on my little secret?"
Raku pulled out a shard of the Shikon Jewel.
"Huh!" Kagome gasped. 'How come I couldn't since it?!'
Kagome reached for it, but Raku pulled it away.
"This is mine."
"You mean even after telling you about my journey you still won't give me your jewel shard?! It's a matter of time before Naraku comes after you!"
"Come on, I barely know you. But you're so kind to care. Thanks anyway, but I'll keep this," he said as he put the shard under his kimono.
"Would you care for a drink?" he asked. Kagome gave him a strange look.
"Don't worry! It's not poison!" he laughed. Raku pulled out two cups and smiled.
"Here's one for you. I wasn't expecting to meet someone. I got two just in case I got really thirsty, but hey, it's fun to share."
Kagome wasn't sure. I mean, this man had just appeared from behind her, and she didn't even know him. He had a jewel shard too, and his eyes.
"Come on.. You can drink it."
Kagome took the drink from the very strange man and drunk some. Hey! It tasted like coke!
"Good?"
"Ya, actually it's pretty good!" Kagome commented.
"That's great! Now I can tell my father, Na. Nasakuto, that someone actually likes his drink!" Raku laughed.
Just then Kagome heard the sound of someone coming up the hill.
"Inuyasha!"
"What took you so long?! You should've been back by.. Hey! Who's he?!"
"Inuyasha! This is Raku! I just met him when I came up here."
Raku smiled and handed Inuyasha his drink.
"Here. Have some, it's good." Inuyasha looked down at the man in disgust and slapped the drink out of his hands.
"Don't try and give me that junk. Come on Kagome. I don't like the smell of this guy." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's armed and nearly dragged her down the hill.
"Hey! Inuyasha! Why are you being so rude?!" Kagome snatched her arm from Inuyasha and glared at him.
"You didn't drink any of that stuff did you?!"
"Yeah! I did!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by both of her arms and pulled her so that they were face to face.
"Tell me you're joking," Inuyasha said dangerously.
"I'm not," whispered Kagome.
Inuyasha glared at the girl before him.
"Stupid!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!" Inuyasha screamed at Kagome.
Kagome's eyes started to water and she turned away from him.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. "I'm sorry I didn't run down to the village and say 'Hey Inuyasha! I just met somebody! Am I aloud to talk to them?!' I'm sorry I went for a walk! I'm sorry I got poisoned! I'm sorry I met you!" Kagome's head immediately went up. She turned around and saw Inuyasha's hurt expression.
"Inuyasha. I didn't mean."
"Shut up!" Inuyasha bellowed. "You know what Kagome? Just shut up! You know, you're right! I do get on you for a lot of stuff! It's just because you could get hurt! Miroku's not the one who's staying here with you is he? Sango's not, and neither is Shippo? You want to know why? Because none of them can protect you like I can! When Sango was poisoned by Naraku, I didn't stay with her, did I?!
"No! I went to get the herbs, but you went with me! I'm sorry I worry about you, Kagome! I'm sorry I get hurt because of you!" Inuyasha turned around to leave but then added, "I'm sorry he gave you poison."
Inuyasha turned around and ran as fast as he could.
'No! For once Kagome is going to figure something out on her own! I'm not going to be the one safe her!'
Kagome fell to her knees, and whispered, "Inuyasha."
She should never of gone on that stupid walk! She should never of talked to that stupid man! She should have just stayed in that stupid hut! Now, now Inuyasha was gone! And she was slowly being poisoned! Damnit!
"RAKU!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
From his spot in the forest, Raku smiled as he watched what transpired between the two. He laughed when he figured that he had at least gotten rid of one of them, and his master would be proud.
"Ha, ha. I'll get that half demon later," he said as he disappeared into a blanket of smoke.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome slowly walked back to the village. What was the rush? She was slowly dying, and the person she loved the most was gone. There was no point in rushing back to the village and looking for a cure. There weren't enough herbs in the entire village that could save her. She was slowly dying, and Inuyasha wasn't there.
"Inuyasha," she whispered. When she died, she wanted her last thought to be about Inuyasha. The man she loved. If she dropped dead that very second, and it was Inuyasha's fault, she would still love him.
If Kagome went through the same pain Inuyasha went through trying to save her, she would probably die.
That's how. Her father died.
Him and her mother had been walking home one evening, and they had seen a little boy playing with a ball. The boy's mother had been on her cell phone, not even noticing him. The boy kicked the ball too hard, and since the streets were clear, Kagome's mother went after it. She picked it up, and father had started to yell, "Move! Move!"
Her mother couldn't here him though, so he ran in the middle of the street. There was a car coming around the corner quickly, and he tried to get both of them out of the way, but he wasn't strong enough. The car hit him, and he just died.
Her father's death had been her fault too. She had begged for a Christmas present, and when her parents told her Santa Claus, might not be able to get it for her, she had cried, and cried, and cried.
Their parents put her to bed and ran out and got her present. Her father had died on the way home.
Everything was her fault. The jewel broke because of her, Inuyasha almost died because of her, Kikyo was dead because of her, and all of her friends would probably be happy now. Now they could destroy Naraku without having someone to get in the way.
Kagome silently cried as she walked back to the hut.
Sango.. Shippo.. Miroku.Inuyasha.. They were all gone.
Kagome walked in the hut and sat down against the hut walls. She closed her eyes and smiled, thinking about Inuyasha. Awaiting death.
"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered.
"What?" Kagome's head shot up, and she saw Inuyasha. She automatically saddened.
"Sorry I came in," she apologized as she got up to leave.
Inuyasha ran to her and held her.
"Let. Go.. Of me.. Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. "I'm about to. Leave!"
Inuyasha put his head next to her ear and whispered, "Why?"
Kagome stopped struggling, and looked at him.
"So I can leave you alone," she whispered. "For good."
"But I don't want you to leave me alone Kagome. I want you to stay with me. I want to get that poison out of you. I love you Kagome. Only you. Please.. Please don't leave me."
Kagome's eyes got as big as orbs. He. He loved her? Inuyasha loved her! Kagome?! Inuyasha loved Kagome?!
"Why?" was all Kagome managed to say.
"Must I have a reason? It's because you're beautiful, you're nice. You like me for who I am."
"Love," Kagome corrected. "I love you for who you are."
Inuyasha smiled.
Now that he knew Kagome loved him, he wouldn't be separated from her by poison, or by anything else.
"Inuyasha.. I love you."
"I love you too. My Kagome."
See, I knew they loved each other from the start. And this chapter was nice and looong. I hope you guys don't get mad at me because they had another fight. Oh, and someone you aren't expecting comes in the next chapter to help Kagome with her poison. Mysterious \_\
