Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or anyone else…. or do I? As you can see…therapy is not helping… -
Loud snapping branches and twigs startled Miroku, Sango, and InuYasha who woke up instantly. Someone was close but it was hard to guess who it was. Mixed scents filled the air so that it was impossible for InuYasha to determine who was out there. Kirara growled loudly at the outside intruder.
"Kirara." Sango hushed and motioned over to Kagome who was asleep next to InuYasha. She had been in so much pain it made her tired which put her to sleep quickly. Shippo was curled in ball next to her.
The sound of a small tree falling woke him up making his tail stand on end like a cat. "What was that!"
InuYasha hit him hard on the head. "Shut up; it's probably nothing." He hissed.
Another sound of a falling tree. Miroku glanced back at InuYasha. "What's your definition of 'nothing', InuYasha?"
Miroku and InuYasha got up to investigate what as outside. Two trees were cut down and branches were scattered everywhere.
"How can branches and trees fall down like that?" Miroku looked around for a glimpse of a demon.
"The didn't fall. The cut-off is too perfect; someone cut it down."
Sango emerged from the door helping Kagome. "What's happening out here?"
InuYasha ignored Sango's question. "You sure you should be walking around Kagome?"
"I gotta. He's here for me."
"Who's here?"
Before the question was answered, rattling chains came to a hearing point. A small and slender figure emerged from the shadows. Sango recognized who it was almost instantly. "Kohaku-kun!"
Kohaku, swinging his skiff around on its chain came forward. Sango let go of Kagome and rushed forward to Kohaku. "Kohaku-kun…"
Something was different this time. Kohaku's eyes weren't a solid brown like before. He had come here on his own.
Kohaku walked around Sango over to Kagome. InuYasha held Kagome up and sneered at Kohaku. He was still very suspicious of Kohaku and didn't trust him.
Kohaku looked Kagome in the eye. "Naraku is coming for you. He's upset; he can't control you."
Kagome held her breath and waited for him to continue.
"Get away while you still can. I'd hurry if I were you." He grunted and his eyes were a solid brown once again. He threw his skiff passed Kagome and hit the huts side.
"You little—." InuYasha made a grab for Kohaku but Kagome held him back.
"Thank you—Kohaku-kun."
Kohaku retrieved his skiff and turned around to run back in the forest. Sango grabbed his shoulders. "Kohaku-kun…"
Kohaku brushed her hand off his shoulder. "Take my advice sister: Get her out of here. Don't let her end up like me."
With that he ran back and disappeared into the forest. Sango didn't seem as upset like she thought she would have. Kohaku-kun called me his sister. He's helping Kagome. He's breaking free of Naraku.
Kagome turned around and ran back into the hut and tripped on her bag. She sat down and pulled down her sleeve. The scar had grown to double it's size and was now throbbing like it had a heartbeat of it's own.
"That's it!" Kagome strained. "It does have a heartbeat of it's own! Naraku is reincarnating something inside me!"
Lost and broken
Hopeless and lonely
Smiling on the outside
Hurt beneath my skin
My eyes are fading
My soul is bleeding
I'll try to make it seem okay
But my faith is wearing thin
So help me heal these wounds
They've been open for way too long
Help me fill this soul
Even though this is not your fault
But I'm open
And I'm bleeding
All over your brand new rug
And I need someone to help me sew them up
