Hanyou-Girl25- I have an excuse for this! I had a severe emotional break down and wasn't very stable for a week. Don't ask me why, it has to do with my brother's dad. Anyway, the chapters should come more quickly. But hey, thanks a lot! I really need people to push me on my stories or I'll probably forget all about them. This chappie dedicated to you!

'Well that's it! Wow…not many reviews for that last chapter…I'm disappointed…oh well! Here's the chappie! Oh and no I have not found my Resurrection story yet. I'm so upset!'
"huh…" InuYasha blinks. "……YOU!"
'Uh oh! Someone's awake! Got to go!' Runs like hell. 'If you come any closer I swear I will make you the bad guy in this fic!'
"How could I be the bad guy?"
'Yeah! InuYasha, I sense a screw up in your future…!'
"…uh…oh…is this payback for me ripping up your poster?"
'YOU RIPPED MY MCR POSTER!'
Luna: Run Inuyasha!
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME!"
In this chapter I was listening to "Behind Those Eyes" by Three Doors Down. I've loved theses guys since Kryptonite…which I STILL can't pronounce. .
I also listened to some songs from the movies. "Four Seasons." "Come"(My favorite I always listen to this.) You can download these free at InuYasha Journey (dot) com! I would also download both songs simply titled "Kagome to Inuyasha" It's those sad songs! You know what I'm talking about! (cries) I always listen to these songs. I would listen to both of them after the Flashback for this chapter.
More lyrics in this chapter. Lyrics that I DO NOT OWN! They belong once again to the hot little boys of good Charlotte. ……what? Oh c'mon! You know you love Billie!
…and yes I'm aware that I probably spelled his name wrong…
Ghost of You
Chapter 11(I've realized I've been ahead of myself)
Soul
Careful…this contains a slight spoiler in a future episode after a certain someone's certain death. The spoiler is in the flashback.
Miroku glanced over at the taijiya. She was asleep with dried tears around her eyes. Shippo was peacefully asleep curled up next to Sango. The houshi's dark violet eyes left the kit and up to the hanyou in the tree. Even InuYasha was sleeping. Perfect timing.
Miroku soundlessly slipped out of the sleeping bag and brushed himself off. Time to investigate that bow. Everything was going well until he stepped on his shakujou making the rings clang together.
He flinched. Sango didn't move but Shippo on the other hand rolled over after he mumbled, "That's my candy."
Miroku exhaled loudly. No one had woken up. Except…
"Where ya goin' bouzu?"
Except the last person he wanted awake. Miroku slowly awkwardly twisted around. Somehow, InuYasha had made it to the lowest branch of the tree, yellow eyes glowing. Miroku gulped. The hanyou looked like a pissed off cat ready to attack.
"N-n-n-o where!"
InuYasha arched an eyebrow at the monk. "You're tryin' to sneak off somewhere."
"No you have it wrong I wasn't sneaking!" The houshi's eyes had gotten pretty big now, his pupils resembling dots. He held up his hands waving them frantically in front of him incase the so-called pissed off cat really would attack. "I was just cautious not to wake any of you!"
"Well try harder!" InuYasha slumped back carelessly against the tree trunk. "I'm sleepin'."
Miroku waited two seconds before the hanyou's eyes were closed, arms folded against his chest and the death glare was erased from the houshi's mind. "Yes please forgive me." He nervously snickered. A sweat dropped appeared on his head when he heard the hanyou snoring. "Phew."
The butterfly (A/N: Which has gotten annoying, sorry) still fluttered around the broken bow. By the time Miroku had pushed through the two bushes into the clearing, it had settled down on one of the pieces.
"Seems you've found something for me, eh?" The houshi knelt down and studied the area carefully. A patch of grass was matted down like some object had been lying there for a while. Miroku sighed. "This is getting hard."
The glowing insect fluttered around the area then settled back on the bow. Miroku stared at it a while. He bent down almost nose to nose…ok antenna to nose…with it. "K…Kagome?"
The butterfly's wings relaxed and made a small squeak (A/N: IM WELL AWARE THAT BUTTERFLYS DON'T SQUEAK!) but sat there staring back at the monk.
Miroku fell backwards and held his cursed hand over his left shoulder as if he were getting ready to smack the insect away. "WAAAH! IT IS YOU!"
"What's going on?"
Miroku looked behind him to find InuYasha staring back at him. "What the hell are you doing monk?"
"I was…umm…" He bowed his head. "I found a butterfly and ya know what? It's Kagome!" Too bad he didn't actually say that. He thought about it…but hell! InuYasha already thought he was nuts.
"Sleep…wa…lking?" The houshi stuttered. InuYasha rolled his eyes and snorted. "Kami Miroku your so god damned messed up."
Miroku's eyes turned to a chibi glaring form. I shoulda taken my chances with the butterfly.
"Wait…what are you doing here anyway?"
"Not important." InuYasha shook his head. For some reason his face had turned a dark shade of pink and he turned around back to camp.
Miroku's eyes popped back to normal. "I bet it has something to do with a certain priestess." He said to himself.
Priestess…Kagome…Kagome! Miroku whipped back around only to find that the butterfly had retreated long ago. He sighed. "Maybe I am losing it." Gathering himself up to his feet, he himself retreated also back to camp.
Sango was awake now and sitting up with Shippo on her lap. "What's going on? Where did you guys go?"
InuYasha walked past her without a word and Miroku sat down back on his sleeping sack. "I thought I saw something."
"But why did he leave?" Shippo pointed at InuYasha who was back in his tree again. "Same reason as Miroku."
"Why?" Sango blinked twice. "What did you see?"
"Well it was just that creepy glowing bug thing." InuYasha shrugged completely ignoring the question.
"That's not what I asked InuYasha. What did you see?"
"Yes I'm curious as well." Miroku chimed in knowing very well what his hanyou friend had been after.
"It was that glowing insect again." He sighed crossing his arms. "I thought it was a soul of Kikyou's."
LET THE BEATING BEGIN!
Sango glared clenching her teeth together. If looks could kill…InuYasha would be much farther than hell by now. "You thought it was WHAT?"
Shippo hopped off the taijiya's lap and onto Miroku's shoulder. "Whoa she's mad." Miroku nodded. "Yes, I believe our dear friend is in for a world of hurt."
Sango stood up growling. Her fists clenched tightly at her sides, shoulders hunched up by her ears and the death look well, damn…this was one scary looking Sango! "After everything that was happened!"
"W-w-w-wait Sango I have my reasons!" InuYasha out stretched an arm to block any attack the taijiya was going to emit.
Tears were streaming down the taijiya's face with no sign of stopping but she still had the scary look and pose. "Kagome is dead and you can only think about Kikyou!"
"No wait that's not it!"
I have been…
Searching for…
Traces of…
What we were…
Sango had truly felt that Kagome was the younger sister that she would never have and that meant she was sometimes a little too over protective. Especially when it came to the InuYasha and Kikyou matter. Sango had felt that it was none of her business to meddle with their relationship but what had pushed her over the edge was that one night…
…Enter Flashback Mode…
Kagome had been awake all night waiting for InuYasha to come back. He was still searching for Kikyou's body. It was very upsetting to the miko…how he had been gone all night looking for someone who was gone and wasn't coming back…
Sango and the other two had finally woken up and found Kagome standing there looking tired. "Kagome were you up all night?"
The miko nodded at the taijiya. Finally after waiting for what seemed forever, InuYasha came into view with his head hung and he himself looking exhausted. "InuYasha! Are you ok?"
The hanyou didn't even look at the school girl. He pushed by her not saying a word. Sango gaped at him. Kagome sighed and sat down with her back turned to everyone.
She was up all night waiting for him…Sango thought to herself. Why did he have to be such a jerk!
…Flashback Done…
Sango wiped her eyes and sniffed. The poor girl's shoulders were shaking with sobs but she hoisted the heavy bone weapon up and over her head. "YOU JERK!"
"SANGO WAIT A SECOND!" InuYasha had backed up so much if he moved anymore he would fall out of the tree.
Sango stopped seconds before she threw her Hiraikotsu at the hanyou. "What is it!"
"Kikyou had some of Kagome's soul from the incident with Urasue…" InuYasha explained carefully not to irritate the Taijiya in any way. Kami it was like trying to calm a frikin' cat!
Kirara's tail was swishing around but she never moved. See…like trying to calm a cat!
…And apparently it was working…
"…I thought maybe Kikyou would still be after the rest of it…" InuYasha's ears drooped. "But I couldn't let that happen…"
Sango froze for a second or two then slowly lowered the massive weapon down and sighed.
InuYasha exhaled in relief he wasn't attacked but that slight little move sent him falling off his tree branch and on the ground.
Sango tossed the weapon over by her sleeping area and sunk to the ground. "Why does this have to be so hard?"
Miroku looked over at Shippo. The kit made a small pitiful sound in his throat and looked down at the ground. Miroku followed the kit's gaze. For some reason the grass was totally interesting.
(Enter more sad music)
Sango sighed. Newly formed tears were making their way down her already wet face. "I want her back so much."
"Trust me Sango…" InuYasha plopped down by the taijiya. "No one wants her back more than me."
"You wanna bet, half-breed!" She yelled. Immediately after she said it she wished she hadn't. Sango hadn't called InuYasha that since she met him. The hanyou blinked at her. He looked hurt but not from the comment. He just looked hurt in general…sad even.
"I'm sorry!" Sango yelled two seconds after he looked at her. She was a bit red with humiliation. It slipped…sort of…
"I'm not gonna let anyone get in the way of brining her back…" InuYasha said just as calmly. He was indeed very upset. You could tell by the tone in his voice. Miroku and Shippo looked from the interesting grass to InuYasha.
"Anyone…not even Kikyou…" He took a second to think over what he just said. "Got it?"
It sounded like he was asking himself that question…not Sango.
But she sighed and nodded. "Yeah…we'll see if you keep that promise or not."
"I intend to." He hissed through gritted teeth. His normal pissed off tone was back. But if one thing was for sure…he wasn't sure of himself.
There ya go! Another chapter! I'm debating whether or not to throw Kikyou into the mix. I really don't want to since I'm a real pure Kikyou-hater. (stabs Kikyou doll AGAIN) But that's your choice. Happy reviews make a happy author and that means better and more chapters!
Luna sneaks on stage. "Yay! Another great chappie! My review is that it is awesome!"
Thankies Luna! (gives her cookies)
