Mokumoku Koigokoro Chapter 10: Charlie's Realization, an inuyasha fanfic

Last time: The snow continued to pile up as our heroes continued to travel to save their friends. And the only person they knew who would be able to change Charlie back to normal was murdered, and we all know who it was probably by.

Chapter 10: Charlie's Realization

"Where the hell am I?" Michelle yelled as she woke up, trying to get out of her restraints. "And my ass itches!"

"I would gladly get that for you, but my hands are tied up," Miroku said, smirking slightly because he couldn't get hurt for saying that.

"Monk, when I get out of here..." Sango threatened.

Michelle swore at Miroku so badly that I can't even put it here, but let me tell you, it left everyone in the room speechless.

"Kagome, I'm scared," Shippo whined.

"Shut up, pip-squeak!" Michelle yelled at him, fire coming from her eyes.

"It's all right, Shippo. We'll get out of here, and Michelle is only angry because we're all tied up," Kagome explained.

"No, I'm mad because Kay's not in here and I am!" Michelle yelled.

"Sango, I think she's gone crazy," Kohaku commented.

"No, Kohaku, she's always like that," Sango replied, watching Michelle as she thrashed around, trying to break the metal that bound her.

"I wish I had Kay's nails. She would have gotten out of here by now with those toxic-poison fingernails that she has," Michelle complained, pouting a bit.

"Kay and Charlie are probably coming for us," InuYasha said, looking at the entryway to their cave dungeon room. He noticed an incarnation of Naraku walk by and saw that their footprints left bits of snow behind.

"It's snowing," InuYasha said, his eyes slightly wide.

"So that's what that draft was," Kagome said.

"No, that was just Miroku's farts. I told him to close his legs!" Michelle said, smiling. Even when they were being kept hostage, Michelle managed to get a joke in.

"But, why is it snowing? It's summer," Shippo said.

"It might be a demon," Kohaku answered.

"I bet it's Naraku's latest incarnation, Enzeru," Sango said, noticing the snow also.

"But, why do they want us?" Kagome asked.

Knowing the show well, Michelle held her head, her bangs covering her face. "Isn't it obvious? They're luring us all here, and they're going to kill us all at once!" Michelle said, clenching her fists.

"Hello, Kay," an emotionless, disembodied voice said.

"Sesshomaru?" Kay asked, recognizing the voice.

"Yes," said the voice, which we now know is Sesshomaru.

Soon his outline came into view and Kay shivered. "What are you doing here?" Kay asked. Charlie took a few steps forward and soon they were able to see him clearly. A low growl came from Charlie, though the only one who was able to hear it was Sesshomaru himself, even with all this howling wind.

"I am trying to figure out the reason for this peculiar weather," Sesshomaru said, coming closer to them and glaring at Charlie, who wasn't much shorter than himself.

"I think it has something to do with Naraku's new incarnation," Kay said, blinking away snow that got into her eyes.

"Naraku is dead."

"But there is a new incarnation. He probably made it before he died and it only just came out of hiding or something. Somehow she managed to kidnap all of our friends," Kay said, shivering again.

"I see," Sesshomaru said, thinking hard, his emotionless face looking off into the distance.

"Where is Rin?" Kay asked.

"Rin and Jaken are safe in my castle."

"Oh, all right... Um... Sesshomaru?" Kay said more than asked. She slid off of Charlie's back and walked over to the demon lord, Charlie following close behind.

As Kay slowly walked to Sesshomaru, Charlie started to think hard and his low growl ceased. I hope that Sesshomaru dies. Wait! What?

"Sesshomaru..." Kay started.

She's sucking up to him! How could she like him at all? Hm? He's just a hopeless bastard!

"I think that you are a nice person and all..." Kay continued.

Nice person my ass! Wait, why am I thinking all this?

"...but..."

Is it that...

"I think that your heart belongs to someone else," Kay finished, looking up at him with large eyes.

I love Kay? Charlie asked himself, standing there, eyes wide. The wind blew harder, sending snowflakes in Kay and Charlie's hair, and disappearing in Sesshomaru's.

"Yes. I must be on my way now," Sesshomaru said, nodding to Kay.

"Goodbye, Sesshomaru," Kay said, smiling a bit.

Sesshomaru nodded and walked past them, glancing at Charlie before walking through the snow and blizzard and out of their sight. The white snow continued to fall and the sky was gray, though Charlie felt like he was in heaven.

Kay walked over to Charlie and looked at him with a smile. "Let's go," she said simply, and Charlie nodded, letting her get on his back and heading off through the blizzard, disappearing in the snow.

Next Chapter: With all the snow, Kay and Charlie are suffering from the cold, but especially Kay. What happens when they meet up with someone? Everything goes from bad to worse!

Kay: That was a short chapter. Sorry.
