Chapter Five

Relearning to Fly

He was trying to comfort me! Why wasn't it working? As I clutched to his kimono as though it was my only anchor to the world of the sane. Sanity apparently had been leaving me over the years!

"Mom it's okay don't cry I won't ever let anyone hurt you ever again I promise!" His words cut into me as I brought my head up staring at him. This was the same boy I had protected, and now he was trying to do the same for me. This was the same boy that I would spend hours speaking soothing, and loving words to after he had had a nightmare.

"I thought that was my job," I whispered as I looked up to him smiling as I tried with all my might to stop the tears.

"Well now it is mine,"he said laughing as he got up, and pulled me up along with him. I gently pushed away from him as he looked at me with what seemed to be confusion.

"Nope,"was all that I said my eyes glittering brightly as I smiled. A small almost unfamiliar feeling entered my body. Joy! I don't know if I want to tell anyone what happened! They don't need to here about it. They are already concerned enough, and also I don't want there pity!

"What do you mean nope?" Shippo asked as he grinned.

I kept silent, and only smiled. Then I turned towards Miroku, and Sango. "So you two how many kids do you have now eight? Ninety?" Sango gasped as Miroku smile went to a frown. Shippo snickered behind me as I put my hands on my hips awaiting an answer.

Miroku grumbled under his breath, but I could hear it clearly. "None oh my apparently Miroku hasn't lived up to his reputation,"I said as I clasped my hands over my mouth. Opps did I say that outloud? Sango bursted into laughter as Miroku turned his back on the three. Kaede began to walk back into her hut, "If any of ye would like some food follow me!" Shippo dashed to the hut while Miroku, and Sango walked towards the hut. "So Sango my dear I was thinking since Naraku is dead maybe we should..." He was unable to finish his words as the sound of a loud slap, and a grumbling Sango was heard. Laughing I shook my head, "Even after marriage there still at it!"

"Kagome we need to talk,"InuYasha said as he grabbed my hand, and slightly dragged my shock form into the forest. As we stopped in front of the god tree he turned towards me his golden eyes held so much sorrow it seemed as though she was catching it too!

"What happened for those ten years?" I stopped my breath, and turned to him wide eyed. Then I turned away from him as I brought my hand to the bark of the old tree. I shook my head as I said, "I don't think I am ready to talk about that right now!"

"When will you be able to?"

"Never!"

"Kagome!"

"Why do you want to know? You think I am just some traitor anyway why do you care about it?"

"Well what was I suppose to think you have been gone for ten years!"

"Well your suppose to have a little more faith don't count someone dead until you see the body!"

Right now sitting down seemed like a great idea. "I just don't want to talk about it,"I said as I hid my face under my hands. Why did he have to talk about this? Knowing him, and his stubborn self he won't stop until I say. I might as well get it over with!

"Kagome just answer the damn question!" I looked back up to him my eyes began to blend with red. He only sat next to me ready for the explanation. "Start with how he captured you!"

"Fine! When we were all fighting Shippo had been what I thought to be knocked out because he ran out to help me from his hiding spot!" My eyes grew darker as I thought back."I ran towards him, and protected him from the attack. Naraku attacked me from behind with his tentacles, and then everything went black as I heard Shippos screams."

I lowered my head so my bangs hid tears as they fell down. I knew he could smell them, but at least he didn't see them. All those memories were to hard to try, and tell. Okay that wasn't the exact truth, but I didn't want them to know.

Well it was somewhat truth just not the entire story. InuYasha growled as he said, "I can smell your lie what truly happened!" I shook my head as the memory's flowed faster. InuYasha only sat there watching not sure what to do. "You want to know the damn truth fine then!" Then I went to explaining the events...

((I know a sucky place to end, but the next chapter will be all of the flashback of what really happened, because it is long! Oh also I would like to say that yes I do know my chapters are short, but I can to realize that if I wrote long chapters I got bored, and ditched them! The shorter the better! Also I have decided on two things! One is that this story will be a mix between the two brothers, and Kagome! Two is that I will mention, and talk about Kikyo, but she is dead! I mean no more clay person completely dead like ten feet under! Her death will be explained later, but it's a good death not a horrible gory, and painfully ballistic death. I would also like to add thank you Avid reader. I get slightly messed up with the oc, and occ! I don't mean that in a snobbish/rude way or anything I actually do mean it! I probably one of the very few that loves it when someone finds something wrong because like the old saying nothing is perfect! I love learning new things that does not involve English, math, science, or anything I can learn from school! Also this is in the Kagome and Sesshomaru category for a reason they are the one of two main couple because its going to be kind of a competition between the two brothers, and it will get all settled in the sequal in a pretty awesome way! I love planning ahead...okay that is a huge lie, but oh well! Well till next chapter!))
