Chapter 8-An echoing Sentence and an Unanswered Question

Inuyasha blinked. His ear twitched. He twitched.

He felt mushy inside.

What had happened? All of the shouting and screaming had been too much. He was still hung over the sentence that had escaped Sota's mouth.

Kagome loves Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha

The words echoed in his head clearly, as if they were being said again and again. His name was now repeating again and again, more clearly than the rest of the sentence.

Inuyasha…

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha…

"Inuyasha?"

And then it lost its soft ringing and became a loud screaming and yelling and he jerked as a sharp pain jabbed into his rib cage.

Yelling in pain, he was yanked out of his trance…

"Oh, sorry Inuyasha," Sota replied, he had a pencil in his hand, and Inuyasha had a bad feeling that was what was being poked into him. Sota tossed the pencil away, as if it had not value or purpose, and it make a loud snap as it was flung into the wall and cracked in half.

"What?" Inuyasha asked quite gloomily.

"Kagome isn't here." Sota explained. "We thought she was still with you!"

It took a moment for this new piece of information to sink in while Inuyasha tried to remember what they had been talking about before, but everything before that runaway word was blurred and forgotten and of no purpose to him.

When it finally sunk in, it came with such force, Inuyasha let out a yelp utter shock and guilt that he had forgotten about such an important subject.

"Are you kidding me?" Inuyasha exclaimed, his voice rising at an alarming pace, frightening the poor Sota.

"Why would I be kidding about something like that?" Sota asked logically.

"I don't know!" Inuyasha practically screamed now because his voice was so loud already. But when he saw the look of fright and hurt on Sota's face, he tried to calm his voice.

"Look," He started, trying to settle down. "I don't know where Kagome is. I thought she might be mad at me…"

"For what?" Sota asked, looking at Inuyasha with wide admiring eyes.

"Well…" Inuyasha replied slowly. He squirmed around in his seat. "I kinda made a bit of a fuss…"

"About what?" Sota questioned, yet again.

Why do little kids have to know everything? Inuyasha wondered, his irritation returning at an alarming rate.

"About…" Inuyasha really didn't want to explain everything to Sota, so he left his sentence hanging.

"About…" Sota repeated, trying to coax Inuyasha to continue.

"About…something." Inuyasha answered, and he left it at that. Sota pouted. He could tell the Inuyasha didn't want to say anything more, so he let Inuyasha leave the unanswered question, just that, unanswered.
