Ch. 4 The Only Thing Left is a Whisper…
Thank you for all the reviews...you all are love much by me!
(Where we are now)
Sota walked to the edge of the building and looked down. There 180 stories below him. He took a deep breath and climbed up onto the ledge of the roof.
"SOTA," Inu-yasha shouted, "don't jump. Just come on down and we will go home."
"I am going home," he said with an insane smirk on his face, "home to Kagome and Grandpa."
"Sota, you don't want to do this," a voice said to Sota, but it wasn't Inu-yasha.
Both Inu-yasha and Sota turned around and to their surprise it was…
Inu-yasha and Sota turned around to find only the wind with the voice of Kagome. They saw the soft wind blow but no one was there. Sota closed his and rubbed them. He kept doing so with some hope that Kagome would come into focus or that she would appear from behind something; but he had no such luck. Sota climbed down from the ledge and walked towards the voice. He walked to the middle of the building and felt a chill he knew exactly what it was. It was the ghost of his late sister.
He stayed there and let the chills ran up and down his spine. Inu-yasha walked over as well and felt the icy presence of Kagome. Inu-yasha had never felt such a supernatural experience.
"I miss you." Inu-yasha whispered in the air, "I'll always love you." He closed his eye and he swore he felt her lips upon his. He shivered then felt all of this muscles tense, only to relax as fast as the stiffened.
"Sota, I'm going to give you some time with your sister. I'll be over there," he pointed to the entrance to the roof of the skyscraper. Inu-yasha walked over and plopped down by the door. He had never been so exhausted. He had been so through much the last couple nights.
"Kagome," Sota whimpered, "is that really you? I miss you so much; I know you haven't been gone barely a day. I might not have been the best brother, but whether you knew it or not; I looked up to you and I will never forget you. Kagome, you were the best and coolest sister anybody could ask for. I love you. Please never forget me either."
He felt her hand on his shoulder. Tears streamed down his face and his shoulders shook. He curled up into a ball. He felt his sister comfort him. He had never felt safer.
It was past midnight and both Sota and Inu-yasha were sleeping. Sota jumped awake, when he felt the cold and chilling sensation of his sister let go of him. He went over to Inu-yasha and woke him. Inu-yasha looked groggily at Sota. Inu-yasha came to his senses pretty fast and realized where he was and that it was about three o'clock in the morning.
"Sota, why don't we head home," Inu-yasha said in a dazed, "your mother must be worried sick."
He couldn't get back in the way the came, since it was locked. So Inu-yasha took the sleepy Sota in his arms and jumped down from the building and landed lightly on the ground. On the way home, Sota fell asleep.
When they got home, they found Sota's mother sleeping on the couch clutching a picture of Kagome, Sota, and Gramps sitting in the park eating on a picnic blanket. You could tell she cried herself to sleep, for her face was bright red and tears were dried to her cheeks. Small wet droplets were on the couch as well. The space around the couch was engulfed with used tissues and the tissue box was on the tipped on its side on the floor.
Inu-yasha put Sota in his bed. Then he crept into Kagome's bedroom. He looked around and felt his cheeks become warm and tear swell up in his eyes. He sniffled and he could still smell the perfume that Kagome wore. He cocked his head to the side and in his peripheral vision saw her bed. Her bed sheets were still a rye. He couldn't help, but go over to lay in it. He climbed up and covered himself in the blankets and rocked back and forth until he slept.
Inu-yasha sat up suddenly and it took him a couple minutes to realize where he was. He looked around groggily for Kagome, but it hit him like a ton of bricks. Last night was real. Everything. Tears threatened to spill from his eyes.
Inu-yasha walked down the steps in a complete daze. He walked out the front door and to the tree where Kagome and he first met. The tear that once threatened, now were steadily flowing down his cheek. The looked up at the tree. The wind tugged at the branches and a chill went down his spine.
"Don't say a thing, love, for I will be with you soon." Inu-yasha took a deep breath and clutched his chest, "If you can wait for just a bit; I promise you I'll be with you. Just wait."
The presence of Kagome left once more. The chuckled to himself, then walked back into the house to say goodbye and thank the family for their hospitality. Then once he has said his adieus, he headed for the well.
When he reached the other end of the well he found Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kelala asleep waiting for him. He smiled and sat on the well waiting for them to awake.
Hours later everyone woke and greeted Inu-yasha, whose eyes were red from crying and cheeks were crimson from being so embarrassed about people seeing him cry.
They were all filled with questions. Inu-yasha just looked away and told them he needed time before he could start were they has left off in the hunt for the jewel shard. Inu-yasha told them how pointless it was to search for the shards without Kagome because she was the only one who could spot them. He was crying again and was so frustrated, he ran off into the forest.
With tears in his eyes and no where to go, Inu-yasha stopped; he knew what he must do. He had to be with the one person who understood the one person he loved and the only person he has loved. Kagome.
He took his sword and slowly pushed it against his chest. He cried out. Blood dripped down his clothes as he dropped into the grass.
The gang found him hours later his sword through his heart, but they noticed something on his left arm; it was a wound. It wasn't just a wound; it was a heart and Kagome's name carved into his arm. He just couldn't live without her. So he didn't.
Tell me what you think...completed!
