Look who's back! ME! HAHA! sorry for the long wait! Ma Bad!
Chapter 10 What if
There stood a demoness with red hair in pigtails.
"I need to talk with InuYasha." She said.
"What do you want?" he walked forward.
"I have a message for you. Is there a place where we can talk privately?"
"Ya." He lead he to Miroku's hut, "Make sure no one comes in.," he said to Kori.
He nodded.
Once they were in Ayame started talking, "I have a message from Kagome."
"Kagome?"
"Yes. She wants to know if you wan the jewel."
"…" He hesitated. Does he really need it? Does he want it? "No."
"No?"
"Tell her I no longer want it."
"But your wish."
He turned on her, "What do you know about me wish?" he growled.
"Well if you wanted the jewel before, there must have been a wish that you wanted."
"That's my business to know and yours to not."
"My apologies."
"Ya whatever… why are you delivering her messages?"
"She trusts me."
"Do you trust her? After all she did take Kouga away…"
"I see you didn't like what happened."
"I don't know or care. And nor do I want to."
"I see…I'll be back if she has anything else to say." She walked out. Soon after he did too.
"Well?" asked Kori.
"Do I really want the wish?" he mumbled.
"To be full?"
"If we could, would you?"
"Only if there was a way to control the power."
"Does it scare you?"
"When I transform? Sometimes."
"Cause you have the need to kill?"
Kori nodded.
"It could be because our lives were threatened."
"No, I don't think so."
"InuYasha? Kori?" called Miroku.
"Ya?" they said.
"If you were to become full demons," he looked over his shoulder incase a villager was listing, "you couldn't wield your swords."
I want to keep my sword, thought InuYasha, but I also want to be full. He placed his hand on Tetsusaiga.
"We need to talk to Toutosai, I have questions and I need answers. I've broken my sword and my fang was used to forge it back together. I could wield mine."
"I understand, but what if it's a mistake? What if only one of us is left… like we fused together to make one full demon?"
"One becomes all human, while the other is a full demon?"
"Yes."
"Kill us both maybe."
"That's taking it a little far."
"I wish we had someone to ask."
"You said Toutosai."
"He might not know."
"Sesshomaru?" Miroku spoke up.
They looked at him.
"What is it with you people and me needing to ask Sesshomaru for help?" mumbled InuYasha.
"He could know something or someone who might know something." Miroku added.
"Should we try?" asked Kori.
"Toutosai first… Sesshomaru is our LAST option."
"Will you be going now?" asked Miroku?
They nodded and set off.
They got there in two days, after running into a few demons with 'fight' on the mind. But when they arrived they saw that the old man was not there.
"Sesshomaru?" said Kori.
"…Sesshomaru…" sighed InuYasha. So they started to head for the west, hoping to run into Sesshomaru out of his castle and not having to go in it. Well InuYasha was hoping that.
"Ah!" said Kori after a few hours of walking, he stopped and fell to the ground, "this is taking forever!"
"Shut up and get up."
"Why are we doing this again?"
"To see what would happen if we both became full demons."
"Oh ya… how would Sesshomaru know?"
InuYasha looked at his brother, "why are you so… blah? Weren't you the one who traveled down from the north to find me?"
"Yes, but that was different from this! I wanted to find you, I-"
"You don't want to know what could happen?"
"Would you let me finish!" Kori snapped. "I wanted to find you. I really don't want to find Mr. Iceberg."
"What is it with you and your names for me?" came a cold voice.
"Wha!" yelled Kori surprised.
"Sesshomaru." Said InuYasha monotone like Sesshomaru.
"Wow! Were always running into each other eh?" said Kori after his initial shock.
Sesshomaru sent a glare towards Kori, and he received one right back. So he narrowed his eyes more.
"You were looking for me?" he asked not lowing his glare.
"Ya, we need some answers." Said InuYasha.
--
After asking their questions and dragging out more info than the lame answers that Sesshomaru gave them, they went their separate ways.
"Well that was pointless!" growled InuYasha.
"Well at least we got something out of the freakin ice berg."
"You really like calling him that eh?"
"You know you would."
InuYasha laughed lightly, "We should just ask Kaede."
Kori stopped and looked at him, "but, she's so…. old. And 'I have no answers to ye questions boys. Have ye talked to Toutosai or-' hey! What about Myoga!"
"You can be the honorary blood bank then."
"Huh?"
"He's a flea."
"I know that!"
"Let me put it this way then… you're feeding him!"
"Ya, ya."
After settling that, the two continued their way back to the village. But Kori has the ability to make everything seem twice as long, even though it's in his own mind.
"That's it!" yelled Kori.
"Now what?" groaned InuYasha.
"I know you traveled with humans, and no offence to them or nothing, but this is insane!"
"Like you?" he muttered.
"Ha ha, dog boy. No! We could have been there and back by now!"
"Point being?"
"Can't we at least run? Or-ooh- use the trees!"
"Are you always like this?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Kori muttered.
"Fine! Lets go!" InuYasha leapt into the trees and took off.
Kori who was having his own little conversation on how slow everything was, didn't realize that InuYasha had left.
"Move it Kori!" hollered InuYasha when he realized that his brother was missing.
"Hey!" Kori yelled and took off catching up to him. "What was that for? You leaving me behind!"
"You were the one who wanted to use the trees! So we did!"
"Ya, but you left me behind!"
"Your own fault. You were zoned out. Having your own conversation?" he smirked.
"There's nothing wrong with that!" (AN: Damn straight!)
"Lets go faster, I'm hungry." InuYasha sped off.
"Lets go faster, I'm hungry. Jeeze!" Kori mocked but followed.
--
"Hey guys! Didn't think you'd be back so soon." Sango greeted them as they entered the hut.
"We would have been here sooner, if someone didn't want to walk…"
"Or if someone would have stopped complaining, and zoning out!"
"Aw, brotherly love, its so nice to see."
Sango received two weird looks.
"You have a visitor InuYasha." Said Miroku popping his head in. InuYasha walked out. Ayame was by the forest edge. He walked over.
"Ya?"
"Tree." Ayame jumped and InuYasha followed.
"Now what?"
"She doesn't believe that you don't want it."
He sighed in annoyance, "If that's it, then tell her to come and asked me personally. Then she'll believe it."
"She wants to, but Kouga wont let her."
"Now, pray tell, why is that?"
"First its, well…you. And second, she's with child."
He almost fell out of the tree with that news, "I see."
"That's why she sends me."
"…Touching. Is there anything else?"
"…Not right now. But believe me there will be her. She can't seem to let you go. I guess she's worried about you." After that she left, and oh how right she was.
--
"Hey? Has anyone seen Shippo?" InuYasha asked three weeks later. Everyone shook their heads no.
"Wonder what happened to him?"
"Ask Ayame when she comes back." Said Kori.
"When she does."
Over the past three weeks Ayame came seventeen out of the twenty-one days.
"InuYasha!" a female voice called from outside. InuYasha got up and went to speak with Ayame.
"Kagome must be having a hard time with letting InuYasha go." Said Sango, making dinner and trying to keep Kirara away from the fish. "Kori!"
"Yeah?"
"Would you mind?"
He got up, "lets go Kirara!" he ran out with Kirara on his heals. Since Kori told Sango that she was pregnant, he would take Kirara out and run and sometimes fight with her. They would usually run, then fight, relax then head back. Today they had a short run then started to fight. They each landed a few attacks and received a few cuts. They stopped when neither could stand any longer, today was a draw. Kirara dropped to the grass and relaxed, while Kori leaned against the tree he got knocked into. Kirara got up and wandered over and curled up by his side.
"Getting tougher Kirara. You may look small, but when you transform you're a big ball of grrness." (AN: love my words!)
Kirara meowed.
"Jeeze." He laughed.
--
"Now what?"
"She wants to see you."
"Kouga?"
"Is allowing her as long as I am there."
He looked straight in her eyes, "why?"
"She will not tell me."
"Then she wont see me.'
"But-"
"No! She made her choice! I will not chase after her! To Kouga I am a threat. He shouldn't allow her to see me, no matter who's there."
"I don't understand."
"She doesn't under stand youkai mating, she wants to see me, to see if I'll take her back. Its something that people in her time do when they know they made a mistake."
Ayame was silent, people actually did that.
"A few months after she gives birth, I'll see her. After she gives birth… she will never have the chance to come back to me." He jumped down and left Ayame.
--
Ayame ran through the forest back to where Kouga and Kagome loved.
"Well? What did he say?" asked Kagome.
"He wants to know why."
"Oh."
"But, he said no. You made your choice."
"But I only want to see him."
"He is a threat in Kougas eyes."
"But Kouga is letting me!"
"Because he thinks he can trust you."
"You saying you don't trust me!"
"Not when you're like this. He said that he would see you after you give birth."
"That's it?"
"He also said that you can't come back to him."
Kagome cried and Ayame left.
"You shouldn't do this to him, watching you choose Kouga broke his heart." Ayame whispered.
