Well, I didn't get my reviews, but I thank all those who did. Any ways, back to the story!
"When I was younger, my parents died. And a couple days afterward my brother was killed in a fire along with one of his classmates. Nothing really important, exempt…my blood…it's different. When I don't get enough radiation content…I start to get, I don't know, how to put it? Really sick? And so sometimes I have to take special shots for it. It hasn't happened lately since I came to Smallville, but I'm sure its only a matter of time. And the reason I don't usually eat solid food is because I can't. And when I say I can't I mean my body isn't made for eating solid foods. I usually eat soup or juice, but that's only because I'm-"
A vampire. I know. I could smell the blood on you. "Guess that saves me a lot of explanations." Kagome gave a small laugh, but it wavered the weight of guilt and worry.
Kagome? I know its really hard, but I'm sensing your not telling me everything. "It's not fair." Kagome said, her statement had caught Inuyasha off guard. "How come, to me, it seems like everywhere I go I can only get attached to those who don't know me. That every time I try to tell someone they turn away afraid of what they might hear. I always told myself, it's better to be alone, you can take care for yourself, and wont have to worry about others. But I just cant let go of those who I've hurt because of my own selfishness."
Your not the only one facing problems like that. But Kagome always know when you want to tell me everything I'm here for you. And…I'll wait for as long as you want me too. Just promise me that one day you'll tell me what happened? Kagome merely gave a small nod. Inuyasha smiled and stood up. Kagome followed in his movements and stood also.
You'll be alright, just get some rest ok? Inuyasha gave Kagome a reassuring hug. I don't want you to tell Sango just yet. And I'm pretty sure that you wont be able to get any sleep if you keep your guilt this way. So Kags, trust me when I say this, just try. Don't think too much about it, we'll have plenty of time to talk tomorrow. "Alright." Kagome said quietly before returning his hug and waving off to him before running back home.
"There you are, ready to tell me?" Sango said the second Kagome stepped through the door.
"No Sango, me and Inuyasha had a talk, and he says I shouldn't tell you just yet, so your gonna have to wait." Kagome said a little to calmly for her own good before she started to retire to her room.
"Fine, tell him but don't tell me." Sango said a little upset that Kagome shared everything with Inuyasha. "Sango I'm not picking favorites you know Inuyasha could never replace you. The only reason is because I don't want to see you hurt, and I'm just not sure telling you is the right thing to do right now." Kagome said.
"Kagome…" Sango looked back up at her. The look she was giving her, it was sympathy, that look disgusted her, she didn't need that kind of sympathy.
"Get you ass to bed and stop fucking bothering me! I'm going out again and don't even bother." Kagome's sudden outburst had scared Sango a little, but she refused to show it.
Kagome skidded down the stairs and out the door. She had a hit to take care of.
"Inuyasha your late. Do you have any idea what time it is?" Sessomeru said from the sofa as Inuyasha entered the living room.
Fuck off. Inuyasha sent a glare at him before crossing his arms.
"That must be the first time I ever heard you curse. Why the sudden change in attitude?" Sessomeru got off the couch and started circling Inuyasha. "You reek of that Kagome girl your always with, where were you all day?" Sessomeru demanded.
I'm going to bed. G'night. Inuyasha ignored Sessomeru's interrogation completely and climbed up the stairs to his room. Sessomeru was right though, he had Kagome's scent all over him, and…he WAS acting more like her. Did that mean she was acting more like him too?
"Hello?" Said a cool voice over the phone. "Cut the crap, where's my hit?" Kagome said tired already from the days events. "My, my, aren't we arrogant?" Naraku said with a sneer. "Yes we are, now gimme my hit." Kagome repeated. "Fine, fine, it's the cross on Maple and Forkstern. Remember he wants the tongue." Naraku said out of sheer joy. "You disgust me." Kagome said before flipping her phone closed.
"There it is, the stupid place, who would want an old man's tongue anyway? Let's see…his name's Totosai Tensaiga. (couldn't resist) Well, lets get this over with." Kagome sighed as she took slow steps up to the door.
She knocked twice and patiently waited for the door to open. A little girl opened it, roughly the age of 10.
Just like Souta. Kagome thought to herself. "What's your name kid?" Kagome said. "It's Souten." This hit a nerve. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes, he brothers reincarnation? Alive and well?
Kagome shifted, would she really take away from this girl the same thing that was taken away from her? She had no choice, what would sensei to if she found Kagome struggling with such a simple task? No, no, she had to kill him, no doubt.
"Move." Kagome said harshly.
"What?" Souten said titling her head to the side. "The hard way it is then." Kagome clasped her thumb and fore finger on the crook of the girls neck and kneeled down as Souten fell in her arms.
"Sorry Souta, but theirs nothing I can do." Kagome whispered regretfully. She slowly laid the sleeping girl down and made her way into the house, or at least, tried to. She remembered, she hadn't been invited in. (She's a vampire remember?)
"Damn it all." Kagome murmured before going to the window of the house. She knocked twice and an old man came. "What are ye doing? Do ye want to kill thyself?" He said his voice old like rusted metal. "May I come in good sir?" Kagome said most graciously. "I am afraid that I am lost, and I have no where else to go."
"Of course child, come right in." He said standing aside from the window.
The house was old, the second Kagome's feet touched the floor you could hear a creaking sound, it was dark, and had the smell of mothballs and rain mixed in, a very unpleasant mix odd scents.
"You don't know what your getting into good sir." Kagome said turning around. She had a smile, but her eyes filled with guilt. "I have no means of fighting back, when you die, you die. But I must say, your parents, they have, as I mean, had, raised you well enough." He said standing up strait for the first time.
"Y-you knew my parents?" Kagome said dropping the dagger with a small and gruff clink. He nodded. "Yes, a lawyer and a doctor, and so very kind. They aided me in illness and in health, no matter the consequences." He closed his eyes as if straining for any other information he could give.
"Please, tell me about them, my parents." Kagome desperate for answers to their sudden death took a step forward.
"So noble, so brave, they gave up so much to allow you to live." He shook his head morbidly.
"W-what? They died…because of me?" Kagome clasped her hands on her mouth and fell to her knees, her reaction to his word scared the poor man to an acid white. "I know how hard this is for you to take in, but please understand that when you kill a person, did your leaders ever tell you why they had to die? It is because we, your hits as you call them, are the last descendants of the New Moon, part of which is why your parents died. Please, that is all I can say, you must wait for more answers, when your next victim comes. All I ask is that you end my life. So I may rest in peace." He sighed stepped forward.
"Alright." Kagome said quietly before she slowly stood up and placed the dagger firmly I her hand. "I promise, I will avenge you." Kagome said stepping towards him.
Totosai stayed silent as the cold metal slowly entered his throat. A hot burn and sudden thirst overcame him. And then…he was gone. "To degrade my self so low as to take what my superiors will consider a trophy, I will give you back what dignity they have taken." Kagome stepped forward and cut a small slit on his arm, slowly as the blood poured out of the open wound she placed a small glass bottle underneath it. Once an guesstimate of whether the bottle was full Kagome capped it with a cork and placed it in her backpack, where, she took out a very familiar looking tin box and brought her knife to the old man's mouth.
Outside, Kagome frustrated with the lack of ideas slammed her bookbag and made her way to Inuyasha's house.
She jumped into a tree branch near his window and knocked loudly seeing as his lights were off. A figure closing resembling Inuyasha steeped up to the window and opened it. Kagome? What happened? W-whose blood is that? Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's shirt, which was covered in the hot red liquid.
"Sorry for waking you up." Kagome said quietly.
Kagome…She flinched slightly at the way he had said her name. But Inuyasha stood aside and allowed her to climb in. Ignoring the fact that she was blood soaked, Kagome pushed herself into Inuyasha's chest and tried her best to ignore his questioning thoughts. "I'm sorry." Kagome said, though she refused to cry she knew she was close. "I had to do it, but I didn't…didn't want to." Inuyasha rubbed her back and laid his head down onto hers. Tell me.
Thanks for your reviews!
