Disclaimer: YAY! I spelled it right this time!
La: Okay…. I guess dat's a good ting.
Shel: (Eh?) Eh? What are you, a mob boss? Using language like that?
La: What are you? Eh? Eh? Canadian, Eh?
Shel: If I was Canadian, I would be able to find Richard Cox! (sparkle sparkle)
La and Shippo?
La: Hey, what are you doing here Shippo?
Shippo: I came to see if that cute 9 year old was here, um, Brookke?
Brookke: (Appears out of no where) SHIPPO-CHAN!
Shippo: YAY!
Brookke: (Picks up Shippo and hugz him till he can't breath) I wuv you Shippo!
Shippo: Can't—breath—
Shel and La: o.o …….okay.
Shel: I don't own any of these people here, especially Brookke, she scares me. I don't own any of the InuYasha group either!
Kagome: Cause then everything would go t hell!
Yumi: True. It would be pretty sad if she owned us.
InuYasha: (laughing) She's already going to hell! HAHAHA!
Shel: ….. (tap tap tap) You guys won't give me a break will you?
InuYasha: (still laughing) No!
La, Shippo, and Brookke: Heh! He's laughing.
Shel: For the wrong reason!
Kagome: no, it's right, trust me. I've seen—.
Shel: SHH! Will everyone just shut up about that!
Brookke: What did you do?
La: No, you don't want to know.
InuYasha: I do!
La: (whispers something to him.)
Shel: La! No! I'll never hear the end of it!
Kagome: True.
Yumi: What did she do?
Kagome: Uhh…
La: (finishes telling InuYasha whatever she was telling him) Okay now you know.
InuYasha: (looks at Shel and starts laughing hysterically)
Shel: THANK YOU LA!
La and Shippo: No problem.
Shippo: I told her to do it.
Shel: O yeah? Well that's just great. I mean when you two—InuYasha, STOP LAUGHING!
InuYasha: (laughing so hard he was crying) Okay, I'm done.
Shel: No you're not.
InuYasha: (gets up to leave) you're right. I'm outta here. (Walks away laughing)
Kagome: O boy. You may never hear the end of this one.
Shel: I just stalk him; I don't care what he says about me.
Kagome, Yumi, Shippo, and La: O.o
Brookke: What? What does that mean!
Kagome: You wouldn't understand. Shel, can you just type this chapter?
Shel: Yeah, yeah. (Gets out laptop) I've typed this disclaimer: I better finish the chapter. Later guys! (starts typing)
Kagome shivered as the wind picked up around her making it colder than usual. It was the middle of fall but the wind blew unforgiving at her. "It's so cold." Kagome said, wrapping her arms around herself to keep her from the cold. Then remembering what she had said to InuYasha only hours ago, she shook her head sadly. "I'm the cold one." An image of Kikyou being so cold and InuYasha holding her flashed through her mind and she grew angry.
"Why couldn't she just go back to being dead? She's had plenty of chances at living! Not even video game characters get these many chances at life!" Kagome sighed feeling weighted down but at the same time totally empty. "I'm so horrible. Why would InuYasha want to be anywhere near me?"
She looked up at the cloudy sky as it darkened and a single snowflake fell from the ground. Kagome held out her hand and the snowflake landed gently in her palm without melting. Kagome grew teary eyed again. "I really am cold." She said sadly shaking the snowflake from her. Her shoulder had begun to hurt for some reason. She hadn't hurt it or anything before.
And scary enough, it was her right shoulder where hell broke through, literally. She figured it was just an after effect and worried nothing more about it and continued her search for her daughter, cold and alone, wishing she had InuYasha to tell her everything was going to be alright.
"Betrayed?" Yumi said again. Kikyou nodded looking the girl straight in the eye. "A fate to which I have encountered too many times."
Yumi looked around her. The same soul collector floated around her and eventually stopping to rest on her shoulders. "Oh, that woman angers me so." Kikyou continued hollowly. "Why she's wasting her time doing something like this, I couldn't say. But it can't be good."
Yumi stepped closer feeling more protected. "What do you mean?"
Kikyou sighed heavily. "Kagome has tried to kill me on several occasions. I, like you, am one of the un-dead. I live off of the souls of other mortals as I said earlier. These souls collectors help me stay alive."
Yumi petted the soul snake as she listened to what Kikyou was telling her. And it was making a lot of sense. Kagome wasn't there to help her. She obviously wasn't looking for her or she would have found her by now. And InuYasha must not have cared as much as Kagome said he did. He left her when she needed him. When she was in danger… Yumi suddenly noticed Kikyou as talking to her. "You must be alone in this world then."
"Just like you?"
Kikyou nodded. "I have no one. I hate every living soul. Don't get me wrong…"
Yumi shrugged. "That's alright. You can't hate me, because I'm not really alive and I don't exactly have a soul."
Kikyou sensed that Naraku was around. Not really Naraku, but his demon puppet. Either way, she didn't want to take any more part in his plan. She had done her part with Yumi. "Take the Kami. I must leave." And Kikyou vanished leaving Yumi with the soul collector around her neck. The other's scattered so it was impossible for Yumi to determine where Kikyou had disappeared too. "So you're Kami, eh? Good. You'll be my protection."
Kami slipped off her shoulders and started to entangle around her starting at her feet, eventually being wrapped around her three times it's head next to hers. (Kinda like the snake when it was around Tsubaki! It's so cute, I want one!) Yumi suddenly felt angered by her capture and no one coming for her. "You're my only friend. In this cold world, my only only.
Shippo jumped up. "Hey, it's starting to snow!"
The others stopped to look up as snowflakes started to fall form the sky. Sango smiled at him. "You're right Shippo, it's snowing. At this time of year, it can snow without being so cold."
"Feh. I hate snow." InuYasha scoffed.
"You hate everything. So stop nagging and let your comments not be heard." Miroku retaliated calmly.
InuYasha stared daggers at him and Miroku did the sweatdrop thing. "You want to hit me now, don't you?"
InuYasha rolled up his sleeve. "You bet."
"OW!"
Kagome stopped in her snowy tracks to turn around to the yell she had just heard. "That sounded like Miroku, kind of." She started in that direction and thought again. No. I don't think anyone really needs me there right now. I'm so upset; I'm going to slow everyone down anyway. Besides, InuYasha must be furious at me still. Or still with Kikyou…and I don't think I can go back there and find out he's not there.
All these thoughts and more, racing through her head made her extremely tired and she sat down by the nearest biggest tree that would shelter her from the snow and cold. "I guess I'll just sit here and rest for a while. Kagura's aura is gone, so Yumi should be able to handle herself for a while." But being so exhausted, Kagome didn't realize that Kikyou was moving in closer…
Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannnot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you
And I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me theres just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
(Crossfade, "Cold")
