Whoa… 20th chapter. Unusual for me to write so long fanfics. :D
Chapter 20, Decisions
Sango was outside, looking up at the cloudless sky. She was very worried about her friends, because it had been almost five days since they left. Then she saw a figure in the sky.
"Kaede! They're back!" She shouted in happiness, and the old woman ran out of her house. They saw Kirara flying downwards and Kagome waving her hand. Miroku was asleep, but he had been awake when they flew.
"Are you okay?" Sango asked and ran closer. "I was so worried about you!"
"Inuyasha is wounded, and Miroku has lost very much blood." Answered Kagome and landed from Kirara's back.
"Oh no..." Gasped Sango when she saw Miroku's wounds.
"Take him in. I can help him." Said Kaede, and Kirara took Miroku into Kaede's house.
"He's very weak... I'm not sure can I do anything." Mumbled Kaede. Sango gasped in shock and started to cry.
"Don't worry, he won't die." Comforted Kagome, but she wasn't so sure.
"Kagome, I think you should tend Inuyasha's wounds." Refer Kaede. Kagome nodded.
"I can tend it myself!" Said Inuyasha.
"Don't be silly. Just let Kagome do it." Mumbled Kaede. Inuyasha sighed and sat down, and Kagome started to tend his wounds.
At the sunset Kagome and Sango were outside, looking at the mountains. They seemed to be on fire because of the sunlight.
"I'm so worried about him." Sango whispered.
"I'm sure he can make it. Because he wants to see you again, and your child too." Comforted Kagome. Sango nodded and wiped her tears away.
"Are you going to get married when he awakes?" Asked Kagome.
Sango nodded. "Before the child born."
"So romantic..." Mumbled Kagome.
"I think I should go to see him." Said Sango and walked in. Kagome ran to the big tree, where Inuyasha was sitting on a branch again.
"Why are you here alone?" She asked.
"I was thinking... we have all the jewel shards now." He answered. Kagome nodded and felt coldness inside her. Was he going to transform into a full demon now?
"Well... I've thought about it and I'm not so sure anymore. If I become a full demon, do I recognize you and the others anymore? Am I going to be a monster?" He whispered, looking up at the sky.
"I don't know... but I hope you'll still remember us." Mumbled Kagome. Inuyasha jumped down and looked her at her eyes.
"If I won't remember you anymore, I won't use the jewel." He said quietly. Kagome blushed a bit.
"What do we do to the jewel then?" She asked.
"We'll protect it." He answered. She nodded, and they walked back to Kaede's house hand in hand. Sango and Kaede were there with Miroku.
"Has he gotten better?" Asked Kagome and sat down next to Sango.
"No. He has got a high fever." Answered Sango with tears in her eyes.
"His wounds aren't bleeding anymore. When the fever goes down, he will be okay." Comforted Kaede.
"Be strong, Sango." Said Kagome. Sango nodded, and then she stood up.
"I'm tired. I'm going to bed now." She said and walked away.
"Poor Sango." Said Kagome.
"She's gone through so much." Sighed Kaede.
"I hope she doesn't worry too much." Mumbled Kagome.
"You two should go to sleep too. You've had a hard day." Suggested Kaede.
"I think it would be the best." Said Inuyasha and walked to his room. Kagome did the same, and she fell asleep knowing that they would be safe from Naraku's demons from now on.
