Love's Labour Lost Chapter 8
"Kagome? Are you ok?" Sango asked concerned for her normally upbeat friend who is now melancholy and quiet.
"I'm fine Sango. I told you already, I chose to help him"
"What exactly did you help him with?" Miroku asked, a small smirk gracing his lips
"You hentai! Can't you be serious about anything?" Sango berated.
Just then Mirko walked up next to Sango whispering something into her ear gaining a slight blush upon her cheeks.
What the heck is going on? Kagome thought
"Hey can we hurry up? Naraku isn't going to wait for us ya know!" Inuyasha bellowed as the group began to fall further and further behind him.
"Well Sorry! I guess dying and coming back to life is no reason to be tired!" Kagome screamed back.
"Well maybe you should go to Sesshomaru and stay with him. You seem to like him more anyway!"
"What the hell?! Where do you get off talking to me like that?!"
As the fight continued and Kagome and Inuyasha stalked closer to each other to scream in their faces Miroku approached Sango from behind.
"Perhaps we should leave them to talk things out. Besides I would love to spend some quality time with you Lady Sango" He added with oddly enough innocence in his eyes.
"Hmm, I don't know Miroku. Very well. Kirara, watch over Shippo" She requested seeing as Shippo was asleep on Kirara's back.
I don't know how he can sleep through that fight. Sango wondered as she followed Miroku away.
"Sango, I know that I have not always displayed pure intentions," Miroku started.
"Well that is for sure" Sango mumbled, not so quietly.
Clearing his throat Miroku continued "As a man of the cloth I should uphold more righteous thoughts, but let me assure you that what I am about to tell you is not in jest." Miroku reached out and took Sango's hands (both of them) into his own, well one for protection: without a free hand he can't get slapped, and well to show sincerity.
"Sango, for as long as we have traveled together I always saw you as a comrade, a friend that I could always turn to to watch my back" As those words left his mouth Sango began to feel this strange feeling in her chest.
Is Miroku rejecting me?! I can't take this anymore!
"That is enough Houshi-sama, I understand completely" Sango broke in, releasing her hands from his grasp. "We're friends, comrades that look out for each other's well being"
"Sango, if you would let me finish." Miroku interjected. "After what happened to Kagome, I realized that if that every happened to you I would do anything to get you back and avenge you. I would got begging to Sesshomaru and offer my servitude to have him revive you if that was necessary." With this Sango began to blush and tears were welling up in her eyes. "I intended to wait until we had defeated Naraku, but I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something were to happen to either one of us and I never said this. Sango," Miroku started, once again taking her hands. "after we have defeated Naraku and my void is gone, will you then bare my child?"
Oh my god! This can't be seriously happening. Am I dreaming? Wake up Sango this isn't funny anymore! Oh my god I don't think I'm dreaming!
Is she going to say no? Why won't she say anything?
"Umm, Sango. Did you just see that!?"
"That light! Wasn't that where Kagome and Inuyasha were?!"
"We must hurry."
(Meanwhile)
"YOU POMPOUS ARROGANT BASTARD!" Kagome bellowed "I DIED! CAN'T I GET ANY REST AFTER THAT?!"
"WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK YOUR NEW SAVIOR SESSHOMARU TO SAVE YOU!?"
"Well in fact he is a savior, at least he cared enough to avenge me. Plus he revived me. What did you do?!" Kagome started as Inuyasha visibly stiffened "YOU TRIED TO SAVE KIKYO! AFTER SHE BETRAYED US TO THAT BASTARD, KILLED ME, AND YOU STILL TRY TO SAVE HER!"
"You don't understand" Inuyasha began with his bangs covering his eyes, "She died because of me, she trusted me and loved me, and she died because of me" Inuyasha felt a renewed fervor to defend himself as he raised his head and voice, "WAS I JUST SUPPOSED TO KILL HER OR WATCH HER DIE?!"
It was now Kagome's turn to bow her head and cover her eyes with her bangs, I won't let him see my cry. "You're right Inuyasha" she barely whispered, "I have no idea what it is like to love you, trust you, and be killed by your previous love because you got in the way. Silly me"
"Trust!? TRUST!? YOU CALL THIS TRUST!" Inuyasha bellowed as he grasped the rosary that began to glow under his pull.
Why did I say that, Oh my god, she's already hurting and now she's just going to SIT me. Man is it gonna hurt. I'm such an idiot!
"Inuyasha" Kagome breathed as she looked up at him only inches away, "you're right" and she reached up and embraced Inuyasha. "I'm sorry" she whispered as tears fell down her cheeks and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I do trust you" She said as she pulled the rosary and released its spell.
A bright light flashed as the spell was broken and the rosary beads glowed and flew off in every direction. Inuyasha was propelled backwards by the force of the necklace and landed ungracefully in an Inuyasha shaped crater.
Kagome dropped the fang she had been holding, along with her jewel shards, as she knelt to pick up her backpack. "I'm going home Inuyasha, Don't come after me." Shippo who woke up from the light looked up at her knowing she had no intention of returning. "Shippo, guard the jewel shards" She requested as she began to walk towards the well and pointed to the jewel shards. As tears flowed freely down her cheeks she stopped and turned back to Shippo "Tell Miroku and Sango I'm sorry. I'll miss you Shippo, take care of yourself. I'll always remember you". With that Kagome was gone through the forest leaving a shocked kitsune and an unconscious Inuyasha in her wake.
A/N: First off, please don't kill me! It is sooooooo not over yet. Btw I am really sorry this chapter was kinda bulky and didn't flow as well, but there were so many descriptions I wanted to get out and I had envisioned this chapter, it had to go right. It is Tuesday night, so I cannot promise Chapter 9 by Thursday, but I will try. If not it will be Friday night. Please Review!
