Okay, I don't like it when people do this either! But I just want to let JediK1 know that the memories in the last chapter weren't from episodes or from other stories I wrote. I just thought of them as I was typing. At least, I don't think they're from episodes...
Chapter 7: Surprising Words
Sango was slightly appalled as InuYasha burst into the hut, carrying a red bundle. She was even more confused when he ordered Kaede to "Help her!" Only when Kaede had convinced InuYasha to set down and unwrap the bundle did Sango finally understand what was going on. She gasped as she saw a very bloody Kagome, still holding a knife in her right hand. She rushed over, only to be held away by a growling hanyou.
"Don't go near her!" he snapped, causing Sango to flinch. Miroku chose that time to enter the hut.
"What's going on?" he asked, genuinely confused. Sango throwing herself into his arms and weeping only served to confuse him more... Kaede shooed all of them outside, instructing them to take the somehow still sleeping Shippo with them.
"What happened?" Miroku asked once they were safely outside and the hut door was closed. His only response was Sango's continual sobbing. He pulled her into his arms, though not pervertedly, and comfortingly rubbed small circles on her back. When her crying had subsided somewhat, he asked again. "What happened to Lady Kagome?" Sango somehow managed to answer coherently.
"InuYasha... hic went to... her time... and he came back... with her... like this..." Sango trailed off as she disolved into a sobbing fit once more. Miroku turned angry eyes on the hanyou.
"This is all your fault!" he hissed viciously. InuYasha slowly raised his eyes to meet the monk's. Miroku was visibly startled at the look of pure sorrow in his amber orbs.
"I know," he said softly, almost too softly to reach Miroku's ears. "If-When she wakes up, could you tell her that I'm sorry?" With that said, InuYasha raced off into the forest, leaving the other four in a stunned silence. Since when did InuYasha apologize?
