Hey everyone, I changed my name recently, I am no longer Kagome, I am now Hoseki-chan. Anyway, sorry bout the long wait for chapter 8, I hit major writers block of this story (I have two others as well.) and couldn't even figure out the slightest thing as to what should happen.
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.
On a Monday, I am waiting. Tuesday, I am fading. And by Wednesday, I can't sleep. Then the phone rings, I hear you. And the darkness is a clear view. Cuz you've come to rescue me. Fall... With you, I fall so fast. I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts.
Chap 8:
It was the late in the afternoon when they made it back to Keade's hut, Sango and Miroku had been arguing almost the entire trip. Shippo had fallen asleep on Kagome's shoulder, when they got to Keade's hut though he woke up at the smell of food. They told Kaede about they strange actions of Koga and his new shards, but everyone had left out the part about Kagome and InuYasha. "Well it sounds like either the shard in his left is larger than his right and is unbalancing his power; or that the shard is a phony and is stronger than the original for the time being until it decides to poison him." "Feh, well then I say let the bastard die, it serves him right." "InuYasha what if the shard is real and is just really big?" Then I chop of his arm and then leave him to die, either way he's dead and I won't have to worry about him every again." "True InuYasha he would be dead, but I personally think that it would be better to save him from a fake shard and have him be in debt to us even more, or take all of his shards to help defeat Naraku in payment for saving his life that last time. Either way we should get all the shards and he shall live." "Miroku are you going soft on me?" "Maybe he just came to his senses finally." "Sango did I ask you, no I didn't." "Well to bad I answered for him, deal with it." "Will you three shut up and let Kaede speak!" All three of them looked rather taken aback from the sudden outburst from Kagome, but soon InuYasha was smiling at her. "Thank you Kagome, now if you all will listen I will tell you what should be done. The shard is more than likely a fake and Miroku is entirely correct, he should be saved so that he is on our side when we fight Naraku. After all the more people we get to help us the better." "So you think we should save the bastard too, damn it. Well then it looks like I'm out numbered, so then we are going to save the stupid bastard. Fine, but Shippo has to stay here on this one." "What, why, that's not fair. Kagome tell him I can go." "Sorry Shippo but I agree with InuYasha, this one sounds a little to dangerous for you to tag along on. Besides we can't have you passing out on us again and then we have to get side tracked by trying to find you." "Oh, fine. I'll stay." "Ok, then it settled, the four of you will leave tomorrow." "Fine, now let's go to sleep." "Oh, uh I forgot to mention something. I have a sick girl here today so I am short a bed, and room, the usual boys room." "Oh, well Miroku and Sango can take the room, it'd be more fun to sleep outside tonight." Miroku looked at Sango and smiled. "Ok, that's fine." "I dunno, I think that maybe Shippo should share as well." "Good idea Sango, Shippo you stay with Miroku and Sango." "Why?" "Just to keep an eye on things, like Miroku." "Oh right, don't worry Sango, I'll protect you from him." "Ok Shippo." They all spread out to their spots, Kaede to her room, and Miroku, Sango, and Shippo to theirs. Inuyasha and Kagome walked outside hand in hand after everyone else had left the room. "Sp where should we go?" "How bout near the well, it's very private there, so no one will no we are together." "Sounds good." InuYasha picked Kagome up and placed her on his back, then speeded off toward the well. When they reached the well they made a small bed form the blankets they had brought. They then laid down next each other and InuYasha wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her neck softly and pulled her closer to him resting his head against hers. "You know I think that Miroku started to like Sango finally, he called her cutie this morning." "That's cool, maybe when we are out then we can be alone while they are alone." Kagome giggled, "I don't think they will be alone. Sango smacked Miroku after he called her cutie, that's not a good sign." "She'll come around, I hope." He looked up at the sky and watched the stars. Kagome looked at him and smiled, he looked down at her and saw he smiling at him. He leaned forward and kissed her pulling her closer to him. He continued to kiss her and he held her close. Kagome pulled away and stared into InuYasha's amber eyes. "I love you InuYasha." "I love you too, and I always will. I will always protect you and I will never hurt you." "I know you won't." Just then a twig snap in the nearby area.
