Long Awaited Confessions Chapter 11 - The Journey Home
Kagome awoke early in the morning just as the sun was spilling
over the horizon. She glanced around to see Shippo, Kohaku and
Kanna snoring away, Inuyasha awake and staring at the other side
of the camp, Kagura asleep against a tree and Sango asleep in
Miroku's arms. Kagome did a double take, she as well as
Inuyasha stared at the apparent couple. "When did that happen?"
Kagome asked gesturing to the couple. Inuyasha shrugged, and
snapped his open mouth shut. "Ha! Inuyasha that means I was
right they do have feelings for each other" Kagome said a little
too loudly. Sango's yawning startled Kagome and she ran over to
hide behind Inuyasha. Sango looked up at Miroku, he looked so
peaceful she didn't have the heart to wake him. Lucky for her she
didn't have to. "FINALLY!" screeched a loud female voice from
behind her. Miroku jerked awake and Sango jumped and gripped
his arm. They both turned around to see Inuyasha staring at them
with wide eyes and Kagome peeking out from over his shoulder.
Kagome shifted around in front of Inuyasha and sat down in his
lap. "Geez you guys have been beating around the bush about
your feelings for so long I had almost given up on you!" Kagome
said with an amused smile playing on her lips. Sango face flushed
at an almost inhuman rate. "W- What about you! It was so
blatantly obvious that you loved Inuyasha even strangers were
noticing!" Sango retorted as she stuck her tongue out at her best
friend. Kagome tinted pink too, Now that both girls were
completely flushed. They realized where they sat and both exited
the laps they were occupying and turned their focus on the sky,
their faces reddening with every passing moment. Kagome even
began to hum lightly to preoccupy her self. Giggling abruptly
erupted from the back of the camp. Shippo was on the ground
laughing has he watched the girls try to decide who was more
obvious with there love. No one had even noticed he was awake.
Gasping for air and wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye
Shippo said "Are you guys seriously fighting over who was
worse in expressing their feelings? Geez girls these days. You
guys were equally as bad, I am the one who watched as your little
love stories developed and I'll tell you right now you were all
pathetic, Kaede and I used to bet who would crack first but gave
up cause you guys took so long. But it was the guys who were
worst of all. "HEY!" said both Miroku and Inuyasha at once,
their cheeks too took on a tint. "What? It's true! I mean come
on, at least the girls would admit it to themselves you guys denied
it all the way and made sad attempts to hide it." Shippo was
about to laugh again but was cut short as he darted for his life as
a furious hanyou and flustered monk chased after him. Sango and
Kagome quickly got over their embarrassment as the watched the
race develop who would win the giddy kitsune or the angry love
struck guys. The sun was up so they decided they should let
them tire themselves out and just start breakfast. Soon Miroku
was on the ground trying to regain his breath and the kitsune was
still being pursued by the hanyou, just much more slowly.
Inuyasha managed to grab Shippo's tail and hold him up ready to
smack him, Shippo grinned as he threw a kitsune top at Inuyasha
who got stuck to it and was twirled around and around. Shippo
laughed hysterically on the ground. Miroku muttered something
into the ground before rolling over on his back and breathing in
fast short breaths. "W-why n-ot call th-this one a d-draw?" "W-
whatever" Inuyasha said as he and Shippo flopped down near the
monk. Sango and Kagome giggled as they watched Inuyasha,
Miroku and Shippo all get into a wrestling match. "Take that
Shippo" Miroku said "Damn it monk that was me!" Inuyasha
growled. Between giggles Kagome called "Aright guys that's
enough for now, breakfast is ready" she received only groans and
grumbles as replies. After breakfast was over they began to
gather their supplies and prepare for the journey to Kaede's.
Strapping a few last items on Kirara's back Sango asked
"Kagura, will you travel with us back to Kaede's? You know that
you and Kanna are more than welcome to come along" Kagura
who was slightly taken aback just nodded as she beamed a smile
back at Sango. "Ok, we leave in three hours it will be a bit cooler
then and that way we can eat lunch before we leave." Kagome
said and they all nodded n agreement. Lunch was finished and
everyone was packed and ready to go.
NIGHTFALL
Night had long since fallen and everyone was dead tired, camp
was quickly set up ad dinner was finished everyone was fast
asleep. A man dressed in a long black cloak stood near the camp
watching silently waiting for the perfect moment to fulfill his
duties. Silently he pulled a loaded cross bow from beneath his
cloak and took aim. The sky was now a faint blue color as
morning began to dawn. The man stood still hidden in the bushes
when a blur of color came rushing at him caught off guard as he
fired at the flying object but missed. The red clad figure landed
directly in front of him and kicked the weapon out of his hands.
"Stand up" said Inuyasha in a low menacing growl. Slowly the
man rose to stand slightly taller than Inuyasha. "Just what the hell
do you think you are doing lurking around my camp?" Inuyasha
demanded. "I think I would be doing my job." said the man in a
deep eerie voice. "If that job is to hurt someone then you have
met your end" Inuyasha said as he unsheathed his sword. "I
came here to get the shards and I'm not leaving without them. I
know that boy and the miko have them so just hand them over
and no harm will come to you." he said in a nasty voice. "You
ain't getting nothing from us, leave while you have the chance"
Inuyasha stated lifting Tetsusaiga level to the man's chest. The
man only chuckled before removing a sword from what seemed
like thin air. "Have it your way Inuyasha" the man said. Inuyasha
glared at him "How the hell do you know my name?" he
demanded. "I know all your names. Kagome, Sango, Miroku,
Shippo, Kohaku, and Kanna and it's all thanks to Kagura over
there" he said sneering. Inuyasha whipped around. "Kagura!
What have you told this man" Inuyasha shouted. She looked
shocked "Nothing I swear" she uttered "Well my dear like it or
not you helped my master greatly all thanks to that lovely tracking
device his father put in you. Seems Naraku put one in you but not
in Kanna, Funny, prone to running away I presume." The man
said. "Wait your masters father? You mean to tell me that vile evil
son of a bitch had a son? When in the hell did that happen?"
Inuyasha asked. "Well doggy-boy maybe it happened some time
during your 50-year rest on that tree. Just cause your life came to
a crashing halt doesn't mean the rest of the world waited around
for you" The man chuckled. "I'm sorry it's rude of me I
suppose you want my name, well it's Taro and I serve under the
great Kuro-Kon" "Kuro-Kon? Black soul? Hmp a very befitting
name for the son of Naraku." Said Miroku coming into view.
"Ahh and the monk, Miroku chimes in with his all-knowing self."
said Taro. "Well now lets get down to business shall we? I want
Naraku's little incarnations dead, and I want those shards. Oh
and lucky me, by taking the one from that boy's back I get to kill
him what a great day for me. Hmmm well it would probably
please the master if I took the miko and the slayer along with me.
So dog boy move out of my way." he stated ready for battle.
"Over my dead body" Inuyasha growled tightening his grip on
Tetsusaiga. "That can certainly be arranged" Said Taro as a
sinister smile crossed his face. He lunged at Inuyasha. He sword
blazing silver and there was an ivory spider on the handle. He
brought his sword down on Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha tossed him
back. "It ain't gonna be that easy. Sango, you Kagome and
Kagura take the kids and get the hell out of here. Miroku I need
you here as back up." They all nodded in agreement except
Kagome, "No Inuyasha, I'm staying here with you" she said
defiantly, while loading an arrow on her bow. "Kagome stop
being stubborn and get back with the others, I need you to
protect them" he said without taking his eyes off Taro. Kagome
didn't move, "Go now Kagome! Please" he replied. The girls and
Kohaku all took off into the forest away from the battlefield.
They stopped as soon as they were out of direct danger but not
far enough so that they couldn't see the battle. Sango changed
into her slayer outfit. "Alright I'm going back to see if I can help.
Kagome watch my brother ok?"she said as she stared for the
battle scene. "Sister please don't leave me, they can handle one
guy and ummm I'm kinda scared" Said Kohaku quietly. Sango
looked at her little brother and then back out at the campsite
turned battle field. She could see Inuyasha battling Taro and
could hear the loud clanks of the swords clashing. "Ok, I won't
go just yet but if it gets any worse" Sango started "then I'll go
and you will stay here with your brother" Said Kagura cutting off
Sango. "But" Kagura shook her head to silence her "This is
partly my fault if I had left after we got away from the castle he
would have never have found you" Kagura said. "Kagura"
Kagome said gently placing a hand on her shoulder "It's not your
fault" she said quietly. "Whether it is, or it isn't directly I’m
still a risk to you I will depart immediately after we reach Kaede's
village if not before. You have freed me that is all I ever wanted I
won't be a burden on you anymore." She said as she smile sadly
at Kagome. Kagome was about to say something when they hear
Miroku yell from the battlefield. Kagura shot through the bushes
to see what happened. Miroku was on the ground unconscious
and Inuyasha was still trying to hold off the assailant. "WIND
SCAR!" Shouted Inuyasha as the bright crescent shaped beams
of light shot at Taro. The corner of one struck his leg and the
other three slammed into a tree knocking into the ground with a
dull thump. Inuyasha was panting trying to regain his breath.
"Now here I was misinformed you can't possibly be the demon,
well half demon anyway that defeated Naraku." Said Taro.
"DANCE OF BLADES" the razor sharp blades shot from
Kagura's fan but were easily dodged by Taro. He laughed as he
headed straight for her. With a swipe of his sword she was on the
ground clutching the shoulder. "That easy to take down I
expected better." he laughed, He paused and listened for a
moment smiling he said "ahh it appears my master has arrived.
There is no hope for you now." he began to laugh manically.
They heard Kagome scream in the background. "KAGOME!"
Inuyasha cried out as he shot towards the sound of her scream.
Taro rounded on Kagura 'Well well my dear, the monk is
unconscious and the half demon has just went to defend his
women. Now I can really take my time in killing you" He said as
another sickening smile danced across his lips.
