Chapter 8- Out in the Open
I love being evil! It is so much fun. You should try it………. Did I mention it's fun?
GAP "Y-y- you what?" InuYasha stuttered.
"You heard me! I. Killed. Kagome." Ai said as she folded her arms over her chest.
"Damn you!" InuYasha said as he turned around. He couldn't bear to even look at her.
Every one else looked dumbstruck. They couldn't believe it. How could she?
"You, mean. You were the black wolf?" Sango asked.
"Yes"
"But you're a human," Miroku pointed out.
"Now I am," Ai stated.
"So that first night when I saw you as a half demon it wasn't just me?" InuYasha asked.
"You're talking again," Ai observed.
The centipede roared in its delight. It had just devoured another villager.
"Look, we can finish talking about this later, right now we have to stop this thing," Sango ordered.
"Let's let Ai the supposedly demon," InuYasha spat.
"With pleasure," Ai replied.
Ai stepped out ahead of the gang. She thought about what she now had to do. She hadn't practiced in ages and wasn't sure how to show off to InuYasha. A strange beeping was heard as Ai changed from human, to half demon to full wolf demon. Ai charged at the centipede, newly sharpened teeth gleaming in the moonlight. She sped up in her charging and with a tremendous kick made contact with the centipede. It roared at the challenger. Ai flew back and landed neatly on her feet. The attack had done nothing! She must really be rusty.
Again she charged. This time jumping high into the air and doing a somersault. As she completing the revolution, a familiar black wolf emerged and bared its teeth as he landed on the ground.
Shippo had awoken from the noise. He rushed over to the door and opened it. The very first thing he saw was the black wolf that had killed Kagome! 'He's back!' Shippo thought. He then spotted InuYasha, Sango, Miroku and Kirara standing together in a group watching the wolf fight the ferocious centipede that was now rampaging all over the village.
Shippo ran over to his friends and turned to InuYasha.
"InuYasha it's that wolf again, why don't you use Tetsusaiga and destroy it!" Shippo shouted.
"Shut up! Damn you! I'm watching!" InuYasha then focused his eyes once again on the murderous black wolf.
The wolf charged at the centipede, this time ready to make it fall. He flew through the air in a tremendous leap. As he soared, he bared his glistening white demon teeth ready for contact. The wolf landed on the moving target. He then sunk his teeth, pinning himself to his prize. The centipede roared in pain as blood fell to the ground, staining the grass. The wolf had not loosed his grip at all, thus managing to hang on while the target ran around on all 100 legs, trying to throw off its attacker. In doing so, blood flew everywhere, drenching the unmoving ground. As suddenly as it started, the thrashing was over. But the ebony wolf still clung to the still unmoving form, shaking it vigorously, making sure that it was dead. When he was finally satisfied about the death, the wolf slid off, very proud of the accomplishment, then noticed everyone else. Suddenly the happiness popped although it had been a balloon. InuYasha would normally be proud, but then again, the wolf had been the one that killed Kagome.
As the wolf passed by Sango, she opened her mouth to say something.
"I don't want to talk about it," the wolf said.
"Whoa, you can talk!" Shippo exclaimed.
"Good job Shippo…" came the reply.
As the wolf walked by InuYasha he looked at him.
"I'll explain later"
"No, you'll explain now Ai," InuYasha ordered.
"I'm not Ai," the wolf said quite calmly.
"You were," Miroku stated.
"I was but not now. Now I'm Leon," Flash explained.
"When will you be ready to explain Flash?" Sango asked.
"Later"
GAP Later that night, Flash lay awake staring at the ceiling. He hadn't bothered changing back. He was perfectly fine the way that we was. He loved this form. He was a demon, a full, powerful demon. He was strong, fast, and cunning. In this from he blended in perfectly with the shadows and was barely visible. His only giveaway were the white socks and the wihte muzzle, but alas, he couldn't help that now could he? It was fun being able to switch back and forth between Flash and Ai; it made it ten times easier to confuse people. Flash loved to mess with peoples' minds. It was easy because he was so smart and could switch forms. Ai' sarcasm helped; then again, Flash had it too.
Someone shifted in the background. They got up. Flash heard this as clearly as if they were right next to them. The mystery person got up and walked out of the door. Flash got up and looked out the window. It was Sango. She was getting something to drink. When Sango came back she paused at the doorway.
"Flash," she whispered in a voice barely audible, but of course Flash heard it.
Flash pretended to be asleep. He really, really didn't want to deal with any of it. No more secrets tonight. That was enough. He knew that was what Sango wanted.
"Flash, I know you're up," Sango scolded still whispering.
"Fine, fine, fine," Flash grumbled as he got up.
They went outside. Flash following Sango who was going somewhere outside of the village borders. The boundaries looked very familiar. There was a little stream. That also looked very familiar, yet he couldn't quite place it.
"Alright, what's this all about?" Sango demanded, finally choosing a small clearing, which also looked familiar.
"What?" Flash asked in an irritated voice.
"You know. You killed Kagome, why? And why didn't you tell me or InuYasha or anyone else for that matter." Sango told him.
"I didn't want to talk about it, and I still don't. Just leave me alone for crying out loud," Flash snapped.
"Come on! You always find a way to avoid it! You always skive around that fact that you did something wrong and you won't tell us!" Sango yelled.
"Don't you think I would tell you if I thought that you wouldn't hate me afterwards! Huh? You ever think about that? I know that you guys hate Koga, so there's one of that reasons that I can't tell you! Of all the people I found, I found the ones that cared about the fact that Kagome died, so there's my other reason!" Flash panted. As his breathing slowed down back to the normal rate, he ran.
"Flash!" He heard Sango shout behind him.
Flash didn't know where he was going, he just knew that he had to get away. Away from the questions. Away from the truth. If he ever told InuYasha he would hate him for all eternity.
Destination unknown, Flash kept running. He finally slowed down when he felt that he had put enough distance between him and anything else that might question his judgment. He finally just lay down. He didn't know what else to do. 'Why won't anyone just leave me alone! I didn't do anything wrong!' Flash told himself but at the same time was subconsciously thinking, 'Of course you did jackass, you killed their friend. They'll never forgive you! Forget about InuYasha, just don't worry about him. Find someone else.' That was Flash talking; but not Kriss. Kriss had a little bit of a better judgment so to say then Flash. She had to stop trusting his decisions. Take this one for example, running away. Why did that always happen whenever Flash was left to deal with things?
"Who are you? And why are you lying ever so perfectly right in my way?" Said a voice from above.
GAP Guess whoooooooo? You'll have to guess, because I'm not telling… Bwa! )
Come on, review. You know you want to. DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please?
