FOREVER IN DARKNESS

Chapter 18: The name of the silver haired boy

Disclaimer: Read the others!

Alley

Kagome sat down and started to cry. Even her own mother wouldn't understand her. Everything felt so hopeless.

"Need a friend?" asked the familiar voice of the silver haired boy.

"More like a place to stay. I take it you already know what happened."

"Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about it. Sometimes parents just won't understand you. It isn't too late you know, you can go back and make things right."

"You see, I can't. This time I can't. In my heart I know that my mom blames me for my sister's disappearance."

"Kagome, I think something weird is happening."

"I know," she did know. This had been happening ever since she had met him. She slowly leaned forward. She stopped herself. NO! I can't fall in love with him! It's wrong to love two people at once! She thought.

"Why did you pull away?"

"I can't. I'm sorry, I can't. I'm with a boy named InuYasha. I love him and you, but he asked first. Besides, I don't even know your name."

"I understand," Kagome couldn't see how much it killed him to say that. He had loved her since he had first met her. She wasn't like other humans. That's what had drawn him to her in the first place. He sensed something dark about her. It wasn't her gothic style, it was something deeper. If only he had asked sooner, it would be his lips on hers instead of InuYasha's. What he would give to be with her. "Before I go I want to tell you something."

"Yeah, what?"

"My name is...Sesshomaru," then he teleported away. Kagome thought about it.

"Sesshomaru, where have I heard that name before?"

Sango's house

"Thank you for letting me stay here Sango," said Kagome.

"It's nothing, really. I called over the rest of our group. They said that they'd come here soon. Kagome?"

"Yeah Sango?"

"Something feels different about tonight. I can sense it, can't you?"

"I know, something," Kagome struggled to find the right words. "Evil."

"We're here!" yelled Millie. Miroku and InuYasha followed her. Sango's father walked over to the 5 teenagers.

"I want you kids to stay here! No leaving the house!"

"AWWW Dad! Why?" asked Sango. It wasn't a secret that her parents were never strict, but why wouldn't he let them leave the house?

"I don't want you kids going around the neighborhood egging cars and houses. That is what teenagers do on Halloween night," he smiled, remembering his fond memories. That also made him want to lock his daughter in her room until Halloween was over even more.

"Halloween?" they asked. Holy cow! They hadn't even noticed that it was Halloween! They had been so busy fighting demons and planning attack strategies that they didn't notice.

"Okay Dad!" Sango smiled. He leaned in and looked at the teenagers.

"Aren't you that creepy boy that was singing love songs to our daughter?" he asked staring Miroku in the face.

"I-no! That was my twin brother, his name is...Doroku!" He bought it and walked away.

"Doroku?" asked Sango looking him up and down. "Man you need to learn how to lie better."

"I brought magic stuff and weapons. I've been told that Halloween is like Christmas to demons!"

"Good, Millie? Can you teach me more spells?" Kagome asked. She had hardly learned any and she was supposed to defeat the ultimate evil?

"Yeah! Of course I can! While I'm doing that Sango can teach Miroku how to fight with a sword."

"What about me?" growled InuYasha. He neede something to do.

"You'll find something to do," said Millie. "We'll meet you upstairs."

"I have something to tell you," said Kagome.

"What is it?" he asked. Her voice was grave.

"I've been seeing someone around me. He comes and goes. He says he loves me. His name is Sesshomaru. I just wanted to tell you that you're my one and only," Inu's face was grave too. He quickly changed his tone to a normal one.

"I left something at my house! I'll be right back!" then he left. After he was out of hearing distance his muttered. "I'm going to kill him."

Inu's Mansion

Sesshomaru was sitting, thinking about his previous meeting, when his brother stormed in. He didn't waste any time, he jumped on him and started rolling around. They were fighting and biting eachother. Eventually Sesshomaru threw Inu off of him.

"What is your problem half breed?" he asked.

"What's my problem? What's your problem? Stealing her from me! You just want to hurt her and me!"

"I love her, I really do."

"She's a human! You hate all humans!"

"Are you blind? She isn't just a human! She's different! There's something dark in her, have you shielded your senses? The scent of death is always around her! Don't tell me you haven't sensed it?" InuYasha was silent. "You have, why haven't you told her?"

"I can't, she would be too afraid."

"She'll hate you for that. As soon as she finds out she'll never want to see you again."

"No one's going to tell her," he said raising his sword. Sesshomaru laughed.

"You stupid idiot! There isn't time to fight me! She's in danger even as we speak!"

Inu paused. His brother wouldn't lie to get out of a fight. He had been the one to get the future predicting powers.

"What do you mean danger?"

"I'll always love her. I've seen how this night is going to happen. If you don't hurry she'll be gone," Inu ran away. "Save her, please," that was the first time that he had ever shown compassion for his little brother. Maybe it would be the last.
