Last Time:
"We'll
wait for you at my family's shrine. I'll write down the directions
for you and you can just come into the house when you get there, my
mom won't mind." Kagome said.
So Hiei and Kagome waited for
everyone to come and once everyone was there they walked to the
well.
"Everyone ready?" Kagome asked. They all nodded
and they jumped into the well one after another.
Now:
Everyone hit the bottom of the well with a thud except for Kurama who landed Marry Poppins style, complete with umbrella and all. He is, after all, just like Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way. Anyway, everyone crawled up the vines to get out of the well, Kagome going last out of fear that Yusuke would look up her skirt while she was climbing up. Hiei, of course, just jumped out because he's cool like that."So who should we look for first?" Yusuke asked dusting himself off. "Well, InuYasha will be the hardest to get since he's in hell with Kikyo so let's go find Kouga. He's usually living up in the mountains with his band of wolf demons but sometimes they travel places so we should check their mountain first." Kagome said. Her voice cracking slightly at InuYasha's name.
"Hn. Let's get going then. The sooner we kill Naraku and InuYasha the sooner we can avenge Yukina and Kuwabara's deaths." "Wait. Yusuke, don't you think this would be easier if you called Koenma and asked him to find out where Kouga is so that we don't have to look all over for him?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah I guess it would." Yusuke said pulling out his manly communication device that did NOT look like a compact. At least that's what he told himself anyway.
"Koenma, we need you to find a demon by the name of Kouga for us and keep tabs on him." Yusuke told Koenma.
"Why, Yusuke? You're not on a mission for me at the moment." Koenma stated annoyed. He was a busy prince after all. He had lots and lots of papers to stamp and they must've been horribly important because he couldn't just let his ogres do it for him.
"Look Koenma, this is important it's about Yukina and Kuwabara's deaths. And you remember Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, right? From that thing in the Feudal Era you asked us to find for you?" Yusuke asked.
"Yes, I remember them, but what does that have to do with anything?" Koenma shot back angrily.
"They're dead." Yusuke said grimly. Koenma
let this sink in for a moment and when he snapped back to reality he
said,
"Well, I'm sorry. They were good people, but I'm
afraid I don't have time to go tracking down demons that are not a
problem of mine! Good-bye!" Koenma said breaking off the
communication.
At Koenma's office in the Spirit World
"Koenma sir, don't you think you can do at least something to help out Yusuke and the others? They have saved your butt on countless occasions. Don't you think you could do them just this one favor?" George, Koenma's blue ogre, asked.
"Look ogre, I'd really like to help them, but I've got all this work to do and I really don't have any time to spare." Koenma said in a frustrated tone. He sighed.
"Ogre, since you seem to have
so little to do at the moment why don't you track down Kouga for the
detectives."
Koenma said looking up from his paperwork.
"Me sir?" George asked.
"Yes you. You want to help them don't you?" Koenma asked.
"Well yes, but I-" George started to say before he was cut off by Koenma.
"Well then get to it!" He said.
While all this had been taking
place Kagome was lost in her own thoughts. Hiei's words were still
ringing in her head.
"The sooner we kill Naraku and
InuYasha, the sooner we can avenge Yukina and Kuwabara's deaths."
Kill InuYasha. Kagome didn't really want to kill him, just Naraku.
Sure InuYasha had hurt her, but he hadn't been cruel to her. Memories
of the day he left her came flooding back to her. They were at
Kaede's hut healing from the battle with Naraku.
"Kagome, I feel really bad about what happened to Sango, Miroku, and Shippo." InuYasha had said softly to her.
"I do too, InuYasha, but they're gone now and there's nothing we can do about it." Kagome said.
"But I feel like I'm somewhat responsible for their deaths. If I had been stronger we could've beaten Naraku sooner and none of them would have died." InuYasha said grimly.
"InuYasha, you know that's not true." Kagome said looking at him with worry in her eyes.
"Maybe not, but I can't live with this anymore. Everyone's gone and it's not safe for you here with Naraku around. If I couldn't protect the others there's no way I can protect you. And I'm afraid for my own life as well." InuYasha said.
"InuYasha, what are you saying?" Kagome asked her eyes wide.
"You should go back to your own time Kagome. You have a good life there. Don't waste it here with me. We will only be safe for who knows how long and then Naraku will find us and kill us." InuYasha said sadly.
"InuYasha..." Kagome trailed off softly.
"Look Kagome, this is for your own good. I don't want you dying here and I, well I'm going to live with Kikyo in hell." InuYasha said somewhat forcefully.
"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed her eyes filling with tears.
"I'm sorry Kagome." InuYasha said pulling her into an embrace which she returned. "Now go, Kagome. You're almost fully healed and I'll be just fine." he said. Kagome hesitated for a moment and then looked away hurt and ran off into the forest. That was what had happened to Kagome before she found Hiei. What she didn't know, however, was what InuYasha said as she was leaving.
"I'm so sorry, Kagome, but this was for your own good. Doing this was the only way to save you. Have a nice life, Kagome. I'll try and make the best of mine." InuYasha murmured softly as a tear slid down his cheek.
"Hey, I have good news, Kagome! George said he'd track down Kouga for us!" The sound of Yusuke's voice snapped Kagome back to reality.
"Great!" Kagome said trying to sound cheerful. Though all her feelings for InuYasha were gone and she was happy with Hiei, the memory was still painful and InuYasha was still her good friend. She didn't want Hiei to kill him. She would have to talk to him about this later tonight. Just then Yusuke's "communication device" went off. It was George telling him that Kouga and his band of wolf demons were up in the mountains like usual. He said he would contact them again if that changed.
The group followed Kagome since she knew the way. She rode her pink bike while the others ran along behind her. Even though this was faster than walking it would still take them a few days to get to the mountains.
And
that's where I'm ending it. I'm sorry it took me so long to update
but now that school's out and I have more time updates will probably
only be a week or two in between.
