Chapter 3: The demon approaches
As Kagome rested on her bed, wondering if Inu was going to come and get her, she suddenly noticed a pair of eyes looking at her. She jumped up, thinking it was Inu. The eyes blinked out, and when they came back into view, she noticed that it was actually Shippo!
"What are you doing here, Shippo? Are the others here? Why are you hiding"
"Hush! Yes the others are here, although I do not know where Inu is. I'm hiding because I was trying to look for you. I was trying look through the windows, and I was trying to make sure no one noticed me. I don;t think people would take too kindly to a young fox demon staring in their window. Not a good idea. Come on, let's go to the thers. We gotta get back so we can get the rest. You also need to sooth some ruffled fur, too. I think that you really hurt him when you left"
"I'm really sorry I left, but I am just so sick and tired of Inu. He never actually kills any demons. I refuse to remain with a guy that cannot renounce his enemies. Especially if he truly loves me"
Suddenly, a hand covered Shippo's mouth, and Inu's voice came through the window.
"Sshh. Don't scream. It's just me. Inu. I came to talk to Kagome. Go and tell the rest to wait by the well. We'll be there soon. Hey, Kagome? Can I come in"
Kagome let him in, and he landed softly on the floor. He jjumped up, and listened for any disturbances in the night. A couple moments later, he spoke softly.
"Listen, I'm sorry. You're right. I have been holding back. I have purposely not been killing demons. They are the demns that live on the same existance that I have. I can't keep going on, not professing my love to you. I have been debating with myself, and I must admit that I love you too much to lose you. I will kill demons if I have to, but I cannot bear to lose you. I have lost too much in my life, as long as it has been. Too many chances have I had, but I was afraid for my future. I was afraid that, if I was turned back into the wild, I would have to live with those demons again.
"I am able now to truly say that I love yu and I want to protect you for the rest of the time that you exist. With the power of the Shikon Jewel, you can live for longer times than any normal human. I will find someone to help you. If Kaede is still alive, she can definitely help you. Her sister, Kikyo, used it to bing me to that tree. Now, can we please go back to my time, so that we can figure this all out"
As they had been chatting, a spider had climbed down on line to the jewel, looking to capture it. the spider landed on the jewel, and formed a web over it. The spider then created the special silk that the queen had asked for it to use. The worker spider then created a new line up to the ceiling. It then ran off to tell the Queen of it's success.
