CHAPTER VI: After Math and Ignorance
"Yeah, that's her. That's Kagome Higurashi." A girl whispered as Kagome passed by after arriving at school with Sango.
It seemed everyone knew her name now. All everyone did was talk about her 'peasant-like boldness'. It was just the other day when Kagome had earned her new title as the 'Gentleman Killer' for knocking out an unsuspecting Inuyasha and clobbering an annoyingly persistent taunter in the middle of a large crowd of utterly distraught females and offended young boys.
'It's like I killed their god or somethin'. All I did was show a little shift in nature. How was I supposed to know Inuyasha didn't know how to duck or that dumb kid didn't know how to fight back? It's most definitely not my fault .'
"Uh...Kagome?!" Sango, who was witnessing her cousin's strange face changes from a frown to a strangely evil triumphant look that was even more emphasized by Kagome's fist rising and her standing as if just finishing climbing Mt. Everest, was perplexed into astonishment.
"H-huh? What is it?" Kagome stammered careening out of her stupor.
"I can't believe she'd show her face at school after what she did. Why would anyone hit Inuyasha or Jimmy? They are so nice." Another girl whispered as she walked by the two cousins with a small contingent of friends. "Did I tell you guys about the time Inuyasha actually agreed with me on something in class? He was sooooooo into the discussion and he looked soooooo cute that I couldn't help but think 'Oh my gosh that man is passionate'. I completely fell for him girls."
"Oh my gosh, guys, did I tell you about the time I punched Inuyasha in the face? We were in the hall after leaving class and he totally ran into my fist. He looked sooooooo passionate lying there with his bloody face on the floor. It was like the floor was all that mattered. Oh, my gosh!" Kagome exclaimed in a mimicking tone loud enough for the group to hear as they continued down the hall faces beat red and anger swelling profusely.
"You know, you're really lucky 'Gome. You've a strength considered inconceivable by most and, even though you may not know when the best time to use it is, you always know how to stay true and stand up for your beliefs and not be dictated by the actions of others." Sango interrupted bowing her head in chagrin and continuing with, "I'm no fool and I don't wish for death. I choose not to stand up to the Takashis just as freely as I choose to like you despite your indifferent response to situations similar to the other day's.
I don't want you to think of me as a heavy weight bearing down on you every time I'm in a situation and I don't want you to be obligated to stand up to people who bagger or pester you because they like Inuyasha. You must learn to control your rage and learn to not bask in the grievances of a lost father and an aunt and uncle. As a family we have tried to stick together and stay strong, but some where along the line our chain broke and we became the weaker, less resourceful end of the family.
Our extended family has become the true pursuers against injustice done to us but for reasons of vengeance all their own. We have become the mere middle men of a cancerous battle of the wits and of one's own brute strength based on race. If we ever did anything to stand up it was when we learned that your father, Kikyo's parents, and my parents were killed. Just because we seem docile and impassive to notably tragic losses doesn't mean we don't feel the vibrations of the pain and suffering you have.
It's just.over the years, while we were becoming the middle men; we were forced to be impassive.by our own extended family. They're brutal and misguided in all their actions and began becoming startlingly defensive and unkind towards us. We suffered so much that it weakened us, to the point where we had no strength left to even care to pursue our attackers.
In short.our own family has weakened us and left us for dead. The only time they want to be near us is when it benefits their cause for revenge. Kikyo is a prime example."
"You mean.they .did.all-" Kagome struggled for words.
"No, please don't think that. They've sunken low, but I doubt they'd kill their own family members to create a rage that would cause further conflict. At least, I think they wouldn't." Sango replied, hands in the air in defense.
"You never really know, kid. All families can be a bit ambitious. If they want it bad enough to weaken your end of the link I trust they'd, quote unquote, sacrifice for 'the good of the family'." A deep voice interrupted from the side of the two conversing cousins.
"Miroku!!" Sango exclaimed in pure shock, Kagome seeing the shock was more due to his statement than his presence. The two, Sango and Miroku, seemed to adjust to each other well enough.
"Don't even think of givin' me that, Sango. You know just as well as I that your family has been raisin' more hell down this way than you guys could ever have done with the assistance of George Bush in Iraq lookin' for nuclear weapons." Miroku cut in then turned to Kagome and added, " I'm sorry, Kagome, but everything that occurs is your family's fault. Not your personal one, but those son of a bitches you guys call the extended family. They're a pretentious lot that only have their interests in mind. They're spiteful, cruel and so ambitious they'd risk financial ruin to achieve their goal."
"Miroku, really-" Sango insisted.
"No, Sango. Stop it! Stop standing up for them. You just told me yourself they're willing to short end us to take this thing to the max. I won't listen to you if you're gonna protect their name out of mercy. If they're responsible for this thing in the first place they need to live up to this. They have to expect consequences." Kagome argued Miroku standing aside to let a stoic faced Kikyo into their circle of discussion.
"You can't keep denying what's plain to all. I'm lucky I haven't suffered a second parent to their ambition, but you, you have to live in fear that, maybe, they one day will decide your life is a worthy sacrifice for their achievement." Kagome yelled pointing accusingly and then turning to the other two " In fact we all do. We're all victims and targets to their persistence. Is a life so worthless to them they begin to act as God to suffice an appetite to grow more powerful and destroy the supposed enemy? When did they begin to dictate our lives."
"It's just like Miroku said. They're ambitious, foolish and spiteful. When combined anyone would do the most sadistic things to gain the upper hand. What's more I don't think the conflicts of the past are even worthy of such an ambition.
Why are we fighting like this? A little 'I don't like you so stay away' is even a bit much but still a more reasonable term. What's happening here is just stupid." Kagome reflected seating herself on the hallway ground, the others following in unison.
"If I find out they did this to us, I'mma kill 'um myself and hand them over to the Takashis. I promise you that, Sango, Kikyo, and Miroku. I promise you that."
"I often pondered a similar circumstance and I was too afraid and disturbed to accept it. That my own family would do that shocked me into a depression, one I've let dictate my own life for the past 3 years. Everyone thought it was the shock of losing my parents and being scorned by the all powerful Inuyasha that had done this to me, but how do you tell them your own family, the people your supposed to love and depend on in your times of need, have destroyed your hope and the lives of those closest to you. Look like a fool who should be pitied and sympathized for, I think not!
I would have rather thrown my entire life away than admit our family was the impassive coldhearted one the Takashis thought us to be. I've learned my lesson and seeing this, hearing you all, I can't help but think this is it. We have got to stop this. We have to find the truth. If we don't we may be the next sacrifice." Kikyo explained searching the other teenagers' eyes for agreement finding it hidden deeply in Sango's, but openly in Kagome's and Miroku's.
"Kagome, you don't even know me, but I too have suffered due to this war of the families. I didn't know my dad really well because of this war, because of the excuses. The Takashis and my family were always pretty close. So close, in fact, that I've lost a few ancestors to the war because we fought as brothers with the Takashis against your family. But when the ambitions of both sides reached its peak it took my dad with it and Sesshomaru's, Inuyasha's brother's, mother with it." Miroku stated flatly settling back against the wall behind him.
"Are you saying.the Takashis are suffering from the same situation?" Sango inquired curiously peaking all to the point of interest.
"They're called the Philistines, the extended family we'll say, of the Takashis. They take matters into their own hands viciously disturbing the routine of the Takashis. In the past 300 years they, being the extended family, have become the dictators, the powerful pursuers and the ambitious. The Takashis as you know them are the weak and meek under studies in comparison to these jokers I'm talkin' about.
They've sacrificed so many of Inuyasha's and my relatives for their cruel vengeance. I can't even begin to describe the system. It's like they're the generals of this army and we're the foot soldiers they use as cover. We get the rep and we get the dead. They gain the façade of propriety and the greater knowledge that they will never suffer. At least that's the theory." Miroku explained lurching forward but still sitting.
"Just a theory? What about facts? Are you still in search of solid ones like us?" Kagome inquired from her cornered position facing the others.
"More so than you'd believe. The whole family, foot soldiers and all, would rather die a slow torturous death than openly admit this or go up against the Philistines. What's worse, your direct family knows all this. Disturbingly, our families know about your family's extended family problem." Miroku explained falling back to his original stance.
"And yet we can consider that an advantage." Kagome pondered raising her finger in exclamation and drawing the others' attention to her.
"We could some how create a way where our families are no longer the direct ones fighting. Instead it would be the dumb asses who've taken over. It may have started with the Takashis and the Komodos, but if we do this right it'll end with the Philistines and our extended family. We'll just be two families that have a strange misunderstanding and dislike each other sometimes.most of the time." Kagome explained.
"It'll never work, Higurashi." An impassive voice cut in from behind the small group of sitting teenagers. All looked up to see Inuyasha standing with his arms akimbo.
"What do you suggest we do then?" Kagome yelled, glaring out of habit.
"You don't even know if your extended family is the one at fault. You may make the mistake of destroying your greatest defense." Inuyasha replied even more unfeelingly than before and turned to Miroku commanding, " Get up. We've got other things to do."
Surprisingly Miroku followed and the two disappeared around a corner and into another hallway in under a minute.
"What was that all about?" Kagome said more to herself than to the others.
"Miroku's like a dog. When Inuyasha says come he comes, when he says fetch he fetches. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole conversation Miroku's been sparking was really initiated by Inuyasha." Kikyo replied looking after the two boys.
"You mean he's protecting himself by making it seem as though Miroku is the one sparking interest?" Sango inquired eyes wide and astonished.
"It's likely. Inuyasha is a surprising young man. One need not observe that to believe it. He just wants to protect his already broken family. You'd have to be crazy not to believe it." Kikyo explained crossing her arms in thought.
"And yet he still conforms to it. By hurting you he conformed. Did he ever say sorry for that or was that just out of curiosity? And what about his brother?" Kagome voiced, anger ensuing.
"I believe that in truth they do it out of spite. We cause more than we should or I should say our extended family does. This causes a need for more sacrifice by the Philistines. They pick out the Takashis they want dead and disregard any emotions it would affect. Basically, it's just a chain reaction. Inuyasha acts out of fear, Sesshomaru out of rage for the death of his mother." Kikyo tried convincing seeming unmoved by the mention of her past.
"I meant to ask, does Sesshomaru have a different mother than Inuyasha because you speak as though she was only Sesshomaru's mother?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Yes, in fact. Lord Takashi, Inuyasha's father, remarried after her death and the couple had Inuyasha. Sadly she died as well and both brothers are motherless. They're about 3 years apart so Sesshomaru was very young when she died. Theirs is more of a tragedy than a war story." Sango explained eyeing Kagome carefully for a response.
"Seems no one wins." Kikyo murmured as if bored as she looked away from their group and off to other places.
"So it would seem.": Kagome added then continued with, " I have an idea. Why doesn't Kikyo come and sleep over on Friday. We can formulate things and come up with research. It'll be enlightening!"
"Are you serious 'Gome?"Sango replied shocked by the suggestion.
"I'm game." Kikyo cut in causing Sango to turn abruptly towards her and then Kagome.
"Have you all forgotten that Friday night is the family ball. Our extended family will be there. And may I remind you we have a façade of hatred to maintain. If you roll up in there with Kikyo at your side they'll know some words were exchanged. They'll get suspicious of the family and then this whole thing will be ruined. We won't even have time to research. We'll be dead before we can dance that night!" Sango protested drawing the identical looking cousins' attention towards her.
"That is true." Kikyo replied then stood to stretch followed by the others.
"Very problematic. Even I, Sango, wouldn't dare put myself out there like that. They're vicious and, as you already know, ambitious. In order for this to work you'll have to be on their good side." Sango continued as the trio walked out of the main building and into the deserted court yard.
"So what do we do?" Kagome finally asked coming to a stop the other two following.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance, ladies." A deeply low and strong masculine voice interrupted.
The girls turned to see a handsome silver haired beauty of a man standing before them with an impish grin and a haughty stance.
"Kagome, I'd like you to meet Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother." Kikyo finally voiced in an unusually cracking voice.
'Oh, God, no. Not SESSHOMARU!!!!!!'
*_____________*________________________________*_______________________*
Well, that's the end of this chapter I'm afraid. I need a job where I
actually get paid.
This was fun to write and interesting too. I hope you see what evidence
makes true.
Will the Takashis be the true killers, or are the extended families the
death wish dealers. Just close your eyes and think a bit, try and imagine how chapter 7 will
fit. I imagine you think you'll find the truth, but just wait my readers , you
are no sooth.
A bit more detail will come to explain, to begin to piece a puzzle left
from war's deadly reign. You will learn a bit of Sesshomaru's life, I'll leave for later the outcome
of whether Kagome will be his wife. You may even find Souta a bit more appealing, he'll begin to stop all the
families death wish dealing. He may even join sides with our hero. Oh please review, there's little more
than zero.
P.S. I hope you like how I've begun to write my intros and exit notes. It's different but I like it better. It makes the story more interesting.
