Its Ok To Cry

"Its ok Houshi. We are almost to the village. Just hand in there." Kagome said. Sango looked over at her with pity. Kagome loved Houshi more than anyone. And right now she felt bad. Thinking it was her fault for Houshi getting sick.

How am I going to tell her. How can I! Sango asked herself. She looked down at her feet as she walked. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.

"Sango?" Kagome asked.

"Hm?" Sango replied looking up from her feet.

"Whats wrong? You..seem distracted?" Kagome said.

"Oh nothing. Just kind of tired." Sango smiled. Miroku looked over to her once Kagome turned back to Houshi. She knew what he was saying. That she had to tell Kagome tonight. She nodded and sighed.

"I see it! The village is just up ahead. See that Houshi? You'll get better now!" Kagome said smiling down at her Houshi.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once in sight of the whole village, a woman ran up to them.

"Kaede?" Kagome said.

"Aye child. I came here. For now I shall live in this village until needed elsewhere." Lady Kaede replied.

"Well we are just glad your ok." Kagome said. Kaede nodded.

"What ailes ye?" Kaede asked.

"We think Houshi is sick. He was shivering last night and he's been coughing all day." Kagome said.

"Aye. Hand him to me." Kaede said. Kagome handed Houshi over to her. Kaede walked into a hut without another word. Kagome looked over to Inuyasha and followed in.

After a while Kagome started to get impatient. She wanted to know what was wrong with him now.

"Kagome. Come here." Kaede said. Kagome turned to her and walked over. "Kagome, Houshi has scorpion poison in him. Do you know how he got it in him?"

"Scorpion poison! Well we did fight a scorpion demon but..I don't see how he got poisoned. He was with Sango the whole time." Kagome said. "Wait. When we killed him this green stuff came out of it. I guess that could be the poison. It must have gotton in my back pack and on Houshi's bottle! And then he drank from it last night!" Kagome yelled.

"Settle down. He is alright. It is good that ye came when ye did. Any longer he could have—Well we wont talk about that. All that matters is that ye got him here." Keade said.

"So hes going to be ok?" she asked.

"Aye. I just gave him some medicine. He will be fine, child." Kaede replied. Kagome nodded and picked up Houshi. She walked outside. Sango was waiting for her. She looked sad. Like she was hiding something from Kagome.

"Kagome. I need to talk to you. Come with me." Sango said, Kagome looked at her, confused but nodded and followed.

They walked up to a hut. Sango knocked. "Come in." a woman yelled from inside. The girls walked in.

"Ah Sango!" the woman smiled. She looked down at Houshi. Her eyes lit up. "And this must be Houshi!"

"Kagome. This is the family that will be adopting Houshi." Sango had trouble getting out.

"What!" Kagome said, her smile subsiding.

"They will take care of him and he'll be safe. Please just understand." Sango said.

"O-of c-c-course." Kagome stuttered.

An hour passed. Kagome said good bye to Houshi, tears streaming down her face. How could this happen? How could Sango do this to her? She didn't understand. She didn't want to. All she wanted was to take up Houshi and run. She just wanted to scream and yell at Sango and the family that was taking her Houshi from her.

But she couldn't. Sango patted her friends back and led her out of the hut. She knew Kagome wouldn't be talking to her for a while.

That night was like torture. Kagome couldn't sleep. Even Inuyasha couldn't comfort her. She decided on what to do. She pulled away from Inuyashas arm and stood up.

She stood outside of the hut that Houshi would now live in. She looked in. The man and woman were asleep on their cots. Houshi was in a crib facing her. She smiled as he moved about in his sleep. She looked at the crib, the house, his new family. It was perfect. More than she could ever give him. What was she even thinking? That she could take care of a child at her age? She looked down at her feet. She wouldn't do it. She would just have to live with the fact that her Houshi would be more happy with this family.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She laid back in bed. Why didn't she do anything? What stopped her from taking Houshi from that crib and running? Either way she knew she couldn't. She crawled back in bed. Just thinking about him she realized she had been crying.

Inuyasha lifted his head. "Whats wrong wench?" he mumbled softly.

"Nothing." She said, trying not to sound stuffed up from all the tears. She laid her head on his shoulder and smiled. Just so he would go back to sleep. He smiled back and closed his eyes to sleep.

"Houshi will be fine." He said softly, his eyes still closed. She nodded and turned towards him. She laid her hand on his chest and tried to sleep.

The next morning Kagome said one last long good bye to Houshi, trying to hold back the tears that were begging to come out. Houshi looked up at her, her eyes sad. She gave him one last hug and turned to walk away, leaving her Houshi behind.

-tear- NOOOO! Yes Houshi is gone. He will stay with that family. And they know about his half demon form. Hard to find a family that doesn't care. They will just keep him in when he turns half demon for the night. And don't you think hes gone out of the story, he will show up again. Not telling any more than that. Dang I finished this chapter at 11 and I usually is done at 1 in after noon. I guess I just knew what I wanted this chapter to be like. So yeah. :(
