Chapter 4
"Miroku please tell me why my brother is alive instead of dead" Sango begged the monk.
Sango's eyes widened and her ears were ready to listen for what Miroku was going to conclude. Miroku sat down crossing his legs and arms. His staff rested against his shoulder and found support between the crossed arms to the ground. Everyone gathered around the monk to hear the possible theory.
"I came up with two possible reasons why Kohaku isn't dead. One is that he never died but the shard just gave him strength and easier to control. The second one is like the other one besides he probably didn't want us to get a hold of the shard. If we knew that the jewel was the key in controlling Kohaku we would defiantly take it. This would mean we would have another piece to the puzzle (meaning the Jewel). It was cleaver of Naraku to deceive us. It seems to me that your brother will live his life without being controlled anymore" Miroku concluded.
"Huh...? Sango?" Kohaku opened his eyes.
Kohaku's head was resting on Sango's lap and she was stroking his head. Kohaku found Inuyasha, Shippou, Kilala, Sango, and Kagome all around him. Kohaku's first reaction when he saw Inuyasha he jumped and was ready to fight. Inuyasha blinked his eyes in confusion as he crossed his arms against his chest. Kohaku got ready to throw his chain when Sango stepped in front of her frightened brother. The boy paused in shock and then put down his weapon. He looked confused and was frustrated. Kohaku just dropped his ass to the ground and looked up.
"Sango I thought we were supposed to kill demons" Kohaku said in confusion.
"Yeah but Inuyasha and Shippou are good demons just like Kilala is. Kohaku never mind that, do you remember anything about our father and the other demon slayers. I mean do you remember how they were killed. If you don't, it's better that you didn't know. Oh, do you know who Naraku is?" Sango asked the poor boy too many questions.
"Sango leave your brother the hell alone. He just got back to the real world. Kohaku Sango is just asking if you remember anything that happened when you were at the castle on the mission and now." Inuyasha put Sango's questions into one simple question.
"Inuyasha! Keep quiet; no one wants your opinion. And anyway this is between Sango and Kohaku. You hear?" Kagome stopped the hanyu for saying anything else.
"Yeah, kind of, most of it was a big blur though" Kohaku finally answered. "Sango I remember slaying father and the others. I also remember almost killed you too. I attacked you and my weapon went pretty deep into your back. I'm sorry Sango" Kohaku's eyes filled with tears.
Miroku spoke up "Sango I think it's best if you go back to the demon slayer's village and spend time with Kohaku. I guess I'm going to head back to my home and tell Hachi about the wind tunnel. See you some time. Yes?
"Yeah, thank you Miroku for everything. Well I mean saving Kohaku" Sango replied. "Kilala!" Sango called her companion.
Sango and Kohaku jumped on Kilala. Then they rose to the skies and became invisible in the distance. Kagome, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippou waved until their arms felt like they were going to fall off. Miroku took one more look and then turned to the others. Shippou was sitting on Kagome's shoulder and Inuyasha was sitting on a boulder.
"Well I better get going now. See you some time in the future?" Miroku turned to the direction he was heading to.
"Bye you lecherous monk. We had some good times traveling together" Inuyasha admitted.
"I'm going to miss you, Sango, and Kilala a whole lot" Shippou began to cry.
"Yeah, me too. We did have some crazy and some hurtful times together. I'm going to miss that, especially when I'm probably not going to come here anymore" Kagome tried to relate.
Everyone was shocked for what Kagome just said. Inuyasha's ears went down and Shippou began to cry some more for his friends leaving him. Miroku pulled Kagome to the side to talk alone about her decision.
"Kagome why aren't you going to come to feudal Japan? It doesn't make sense. I thought you loved coming here to see us and Inuyasha" Miroku held Kagome by the hand.
"The only reason I came here is because of the Jewel. It was my fault that the Jewel broke into many small fragments in the first place. It was only fair if I helped to gather them up and make it whole again. Anyway there wouldn't be any reasons for me to stay. I miss tests, homework, and work when I'm here. For every day that I'm not at school my grade goes down. Plus I miss hanging out with my friends. Sometimes I miss living my old life before I met you guys. Since the Jewel is whole, Inuyasha is finally going to become a full demon. Once he does that, he won't remember who he is and us, his friends" Kagome's face had a tear drop on her face.
Inuyasha with his good sense of hearing, he could hear every word that the two said. Shippou sat on the cold hard ground holding his little legs against his chest. Many tears ran from his green eyes, past his cheek, and then dropped to the ground. With this Shippou made tiny puddles of his tears. Inuyasha began to feel guilty but he already made up his mind about how he was going to use the Jewel.
"Kagome can I ask you this one thing without you lying or denying it?" Miroku quickly asked.
"Yeah, sure. Ask away" Kagome answered.
"Do you. Well umm. Do you love Inuyasha?" Miroku couldn't hold it in for much longer.
"Yes, I do. I guess for all the times we spent together, I guess I fell for the guy" Kagome admitted the truth.
Kagome's cheeks became red and her mouth became a little smile. Miroku laughed a little and then sighed. Inuyasha's ears rose once he heard Kagome's secret. Miroku placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder and then began to talk again.
"For what you just said is true, then I doubt that you aren't going to come back. I bet you'll visit us and help Inuyasha slay demons and help protect him when the night of the new moon. You know that you want to continue to come here so don't deny it. There is no reason to hide your feelings towards Inuyasha. Trust me I don't deny about my feelings towards other women" Miroku encouraged the girl in white and green.
"Yeah we all know that part. It isn't hard when a beautiful lady is around you don't hide anything" Kagome thought to herself.
"Well I have to be on my way now. See you Kagome. Bye Shippou and Inuyasha. I'll never forget you" Miroku walked off to go home.
Kagome took out the purple Jewel from her pocket and then walked to the hanyu.
"Well Inuyasha here is the Jewel. Are you ready to become a full demon at last?" Kagome starred at the Shikon no tama.
"Not yet" Inuyasha looked into Kagome's brown eyes hoping she would know what he meant.
"Inuyasha? Why aren't you going to use the Jewel?" Shippou looked up at Inuyasha in confusion.
"I have to do something before I do anything. And I need to know something for sure also" Inuyasha answered the little fox demon's question.
Sorry it took me a bit to put this chapterup but i kept getting kick off by my dad. He always needs the computer when i'm on it. For those who think my chapter are short i'll give you a reason why they are. It's because if i make them long i'll run out of ideas. I'll try to update every day or other day. Bye!
