As Kagome held him Inuyasha smiled despite all of the blood that had spread
onto Kagome's blouse as Sesshomaru left silently leaving the girl and his
dying brother satisfyingly.
"Be sure to call me for the funeral" Kagome shook her head in distress. Tears running down her face as she pulled an arrow onto hr bow and aimed a shaking hand at Sesshomaru. He shot forward and she dropped her bow as he crushed her wrist.
"My connection with you has been severed with my half brothers death so don't give me a reason to kill you as well." She collapsed crying, and as Sesshomaru disappeared down the path, Inuyasha spoke softly.
"Kagome? There's something I have to tell you." She turned back to him and shook her head.
"Don't talk like that Inuyasha. You aren't going to die." he chuckled and shook his head.
"Don't delude yourself Kagome. You just have to know. You have to know that despite what happened between Kikyou and I, I love you. Not because you are Kikyou's reincarnation but just know that -" his voice was cut out. Kagome rocked back and forth with her knees in her arms as she remembered the whimpered softly.
"Inuyasha..." the padded door opened as Hojo cam in. Kagome's mother sighing softly as she walked away from the tiny window.
"Hi Kagome. How are you doing today?" she looked at him with blank eyes a moment before looking back at the floor.
"I brought you the chocolate you like. This little room is so gloomy so I brought some flowers too." Hojo sat down next to Kagome, placing the flowers in front of her with the chocolate. She picked it up and her eyes began to water.
"Please don't cry Kagome. They say you are coming along in therapy, a few more months in here and you might be able to get out and back to school." She took a piece of chocolate and halfheartedly ate it slowly, her eyes and voice unresponsive. She took one too and put it in Hojo's hand. He smiled and ate it as well.
"Kagome, you never cease to amaze me. I just wish you would talk to me again. I know you don't talk so much anymore but tit would be just as wonderful if you would give me just one word." He sighed and looked up at the ceiling of the white-padded room. "I just want to know what it was that made you so sad." His smile faded a little. "I wish you would trust me."
"Be sure to call me for the funeral" Kagome shook her head in distress. Tears running down her face as she pulled an arrow onto hr bow and aimed a shaking hand at Sesshomaru. He shot forward and she dropped her bow as he crushed her wrist.
