Umm...I'd like to thank all the readers/reviewers for yelling at me to get my
shit together and write new chapters...I LOVE YOU ALL! Anywho just keep
reading...and I know my chapters are short...but hey just think of it as
something that is less to read but is equally exciting!
--Alive in Soul, Dead in Presence--
As Inuyasha walked carrying the body of the one he loved and his tormented thoughts he gazed up at the blood red sunset.
"The old hag should be able to help me with this...I mean she at least owes me that much!" Inuyasha said as he assured himself "...and even if she doesn't do it for me she can do it for Kagome"
He sighed as he heard her name. The darkness of the night would soon engulf them. The creatures of the forest slowly peered out at the half-demon and the limp human female in his arms. They seemed to mock the very sight of him as if knowing what he did.
"We have to stop Kagome" he said instinctively as he looked for a sheltered place to lay "it's getting dark and I don't want to hear you bitch tomorrow about how tired you are..."
Inuyasha froze as he looked at the night sky.
'Why the hell did I say that?" he pondered 'I'm talking to her as if she were alive...even though I know she's dead. I don't know what to think anymore...I'm so fucked up'
He slowly laid her body against the trunk of the great tree and wrapped what was left of the top of his kimono on her, as if to keep her warm. He smiled when he saw her face in the moonlight, for it was the most gorgeous thing he had ever seen, dead or alive. The pale moonlight illuminated her small frame giving the illusion that she was just sleeping.
'Why did I wrap her like that?' he growled 'why can't I just accept the fact that she's dead and that she's never coming back?'
It disturbed and confused the half-demon to think that he was treating a corpse as if it were alive. To do such a thing would be sick and disrespectful of the dead. Despite what he knew, something told him that she wasn't gone forever, that she was merely lost.
He dozed off thinking of the way things were with Kagome and him. It was hard for Inuyasha to wonder how Miroku and Sango would act let alone Shippo when they found out about her.
Inuyasha dozed off beside the tree. He normally would sleep on the tallest branch but decided to be near Kagome in case a miraculous or tragic event might occur. His sleep did not come swiftly nor did he dream of pleasantries that night, instead all he could picture was the look on Kagome's face when he pierced her flesh, the way she looked at him and what Kikyo said in the forest. His sleep was not what most would want but it was the only way that Inuyasha could replay and possibly change what damage was done. It was the only way he could escape.
Inuyasha stirred as a long and slender snake coiled itself around his rough feet. "Ugg..."he said with dismay as he tossed the snake aside "God Kagome I can't believe your still sleeping...what about dinner...I mean you don't honestly expect me to..." he paused mid sentence to stare at the raven haired beauty. The sunlight shone on her pale, stained skin making her flesh appear as if it were a fine quartz or gem.
For a moment he believed that she was sleeping. His dreams had fooled him into believing in a false reality, a reality he wanted so desperately. He stood with a confused look upon his face searching his memory for all that happened to remove fantasy from reality. Inuyasha yearned to rid himself of the guilt and memories that gnawed at him. He placed part of his kimono over her head to hide the sullen expression that engrossed her face. He picked her up and continued his way to the village trying to think of what to say to the old woman.
'If we...I mean... I keep moving I should get there before noon' Inuyasha said as he looked at the sun and then at the faceless body in his arms.
Kagome's body began to omit a pungent odor as the sun shone brighter and more intensely in the morning sky. It was the smell of death and decaying flesh that invaded the hanyou's sensitive nose making his stomach turn.
Inuyasha gazed at the hill in which the village resided. Small streams of smoke arose from the grass huts. It was dusk and the villagers were eating their meals and calculating the days work. Inuyasha wished more then anything that he could run away from everything, but he knew that if he did he would shame Kagome's memory and anger the village. Inuyasha marched in silence towards the small bridge that he had become familiar with. The rotting wood and smell of plant growth relieved the half-demon's nose of the putrid smell from the corpse. As Inuyasha neared the hut in which Kaede lived he noticed the familiar outline of the old woman. He paused as if trying to foresee the future and his punishment.
'If I bring Kagome to Kaede and tell her what happened will she understand?' Inuyasha wondered 'will she understand that I was betrayed by those fucking bastards...I doubt it!'
Inuyasha froze and gave a meaningful look towards the hut entrance, could he really take the punishment and ridicule that they would give to him? Even though he acted tough and superior to everyone else, he was more or less a person with human emotions. He felt love, grief, pain, confusion and the all too familiar rage. Worry overcame his body and mind and he fled away from the village before anyone could see him or the repercussion of the following day.
"I can't go back there...I can't...not now, not ever!" he whispered as his hair frolicked in the wind.
Inuyasha slowed to a steady pace when he reached a safe point away from the village. It pained him to look at the village and realize that he would now have to find another way to bring Kagome back, and if all else failed bury her.
"Shit, shit, shit!" he yelled in frustration as he placed her on the ground "I can't do this...I cant...I don't know how!"
Inuyasha stood and stared at the thick tree before him. He climbed to the tallest branch and stared at the afternoon sky. The vast blue sky seemed like a flawless pool in an ocean of worries.
'Who has the power to bring back the dead...other than Sesshomaru? Yes, other than him...that stupid shit, damn him to hell!' he thought as clenched his fists 'He's the only one that I can think of. If I can convince him to use the Tensaiga on Kagome he could bring her back. I know he won't willingly do it...so I'll just have to make him...and if all else fails...I'll give him Tetsaiga.'
He winced at the very thought of Sesshomaru wielding Tetsusaiga. He knew that he would give up anything to fix what he destroyed...even if it meant giving his most prized and powerful possession to his conniving brother. He rested for a while longer before coming to a conclusion.
"I'm going to the western lands. Dear brother I hope that you are sympathetic and understanding...you stupid bastard, you'd better be!" Inuyasha yelled as he set of to the Western Lands. 'In time brother you will come to see things clearly...even if it means killing you'
END CHAPTER
I hope you liked it...I'm open to more yelling if you guys want to talk to me. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK AND GIVE SOME SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN!
Happy Reading
