Last time: InuYasha and Kagome talked about the Shikon Jewel and InuYasha kissed Kagome, and after Kay attacked Charlie for peeking on the girls while bathing, Kay and Charlie walked in on Miroku and Sango kissing... Everyone really is kissing! That's very strange.

Chapter 15: I Cry For You

Kay yawned and looked into the sky. What an interesting day. She had beat up Charlie for peeking on them while bathing, walked in on Miroku and Sango making out, and saw InuYasha kiss Kagome. Could this day get any weirder? Kay's senses became aware of a strong demonic aura... Maybe it could get weirder.

Kay looked over to the forest and saw Sesshomaru walking with Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un. Kay smiled and waved her arm at them, receiving a wave from Rin in return. Rin ran towards Kay quickly and Kay knelt down.

"Kay-chan!" Rin yelled as she tackled Kay with a hug.

"Hello, Rin-chan," Kay said, messing up Rin's hair a bit.

Sesshomaru walked forward and Kay stood up, moving aside some hair that got into her face. "Rin wanted to see you," Sesshomaru explained.

Kay smiled and looked at Rin. "Well, I'm glad she did," Kay said, smiling brightly. "I'm sure InuYasha will be so happy to see you. Watch yourself... Want to come inside?"

"No. I don't want to be here inside this weak human village," Sesshomaru said, looking around the village emotionless. Kay glared at Sesshomaru and walked inside the hut, Rin following.

"Sesshomaru-sama! What are we going to do?" Jaken asked in his annoying high-pitched voice.

"Be quiet, Jaken," Sesshomaru said, stepping on the imp.

Kay stood inside the hut and cleared her throat, looking at the half-demon, fox demon, priestess and psycho American girl that sat in there. "Um... We have a visitor," Kay said, wringing her hands.

InuYasha woke up from his half-slumber and his eyes widened. Growling he yelled, "WHAT'S HE DOING HERE!" InuYasha stood up and Kay held out her hand and used her telekinesis to stop him from jumping out of the hut.

Rin peeked out from behind Kay's legs and the rest realized who InuYasha was talking about. "Don't go fighting him, InuYasha. I will hurt you if you do," Kay said, a glare forming in her face.

"I didn't know you could be so easily persuaded, little brother," Sesshomaru said as he walked in, Jaken following close behind.

"I can do the exact same thing to you, Sesshomaru, so you shouldn't talk to him like that," Kay said, growling. She glared at Sesshomaru and he shut up, looking at Kay with a raised eyebrow.

"So... Um... Sesshomaru... What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.

"Rin wanted to visit Kay," Sesshomaru said boredly.

"Where will you be staying?" Kay asked, looking at Sesshomaru carefully, and then at Rin.

"Jaken and I will not stay in the same village as the half-breed," Sesshomaru said, receiving a growl from Kay and InuYasha, "but Rin will need to stay in a warm home. I also need to deal with a demon who has been bothering me. We are going to exterminate it tomorrow."

"So, are you asking if we can keep her here during the night?" Kay asked. Sesshomaru nodded. "I'm sure it's all right, but we'll have to ask Kaede first..." Kay walked towards the door to go find the old woman, but Kaede just popped through the door, just as Kay was going to leave.

"Ah! Just who we were looking for!" Michelle said, standing up. "Sesshomaru is here and he wants us to keep Rin here while Sesshomaru and Jaken sleep in the woods because they're weird," Michelle said rather fast, though Sesshomaru and Kaede caught every word of it. Sesshomaru started to growl and Kay glared at the dog demon.

"It will be sort of cramped, but I suppose it will be all right," Kaede said, walking into the hut.

"Thank you, Kaede!" Kay said, smiling brightly.

"Ye are welcome, child," Kaede said, sitting down in front of the fire. Don't you just love that crappy dubbing?

Michelle yawned and laid down, leaving Kay to sit there, awake. On her right was Rin and next to her was Kohaku, and on Kay's left was a space and then Charlie, curled up like a little puppy. Kay smirked and laid back, yawning a bit and going to sleep.

Kay awoke to screaming and stood up, picking up her sword and then Rin, waking her up at the same time. What a doozy of a sentence that was. Kay ran outside and set Rin down, and said, "Rin, stay away from the demon, OK?" Kay looked up and then saw that the town was on fire. "And stay away from the fire!"

"Yes, Kay-chan," Rin said before running off towards the forest. Kay looked behind her and saw Charlie and Michelle coming out of the hut, along with the rest of the group. They ran towards a huge demon in the fields and got ready to fight it. Sango threw her hiriakotsu at the demon, hitting it, but hardly scratching it. Miroku threw some of his sacred sutras at the demon and it did nothing, and InuYasha's wind scar hardly did anything. It seemed like nothing worked on the demon.

Charlie transformed and attacked the demon, trying to harm it greatly. He attacked like crazy, swiping his claws at it, and biting it, but also getting some bad hits back. Charlie fell to the ground and stood back up and attacked him with his teeth, and bit the demon's head, finally finding a weak spot on it.

The demon screamed and struck Charlie right in the stomach, sending it's claws through Charlie's body.

"Charlie!" Kay yelled, worrying about the dog demon. Sesshomaru suddenly came with his Tokijin, slicing up the demon as much as he could. He stabbed the demon right in the heart and it collapsed, letting Charlie go, pulling the claws out. Charlie transformed back to normal and Kay rushed over to him. He almost fell down, but he instead went to his knees with the help of Kay, who couldn't hold him up.

"Charlie, are you all right?" Kay asked the demon.

"I just need to rest a bit," Charlie said, sitting down and putting his legs out in front of him.

"No! No, no, no Charlie! No..." Kay said, holding Charlie tightly. Kay looked to the demon, who wasn't dead yet. The demon roared and brought down his claws towards Charlie, and Kay went in front of Charlie to protect him.

Kay screamed as Charlie and her flew through the air and fell on the ground.

"Charlie!" Kay yelled, ignoring her own wounds that had been cut into her back from the claws of the demon.

Kay got off of Charlie and looked over to the demon, who had almost been brought down, and she looked back to the demon on her lap.

"Charlie! Wake up!" Kay yelled, and Charlie's eyes opened slightly, but then his eyes closed. "CHARLIE!" Kay yelled, crouching down to his face, her hands on the ground to support her.

This time he didn't react. Kay put her hand on his face and then on his chest to find a heartbeat, because she has never been one to touch people's wrists. What kind of weirdo did that? Tears started to stream down her face and she clutched onto Charlie's kimono.

She cried, cried so hard that she couldn't remember the last time she had cried so hard. Kay cried into Charlie's chest and cried, tears soaking his kimono. Yeah, she cried.

Long into the night she sat there, until the tears ran out. She hadn't even noticed the people who accumulated around her and the demon. Kay sat up and looked down at Charlie, one last tear coming down her cheek.

"Charlie..." Kay muttered, hiccuping once and looking up at the people who surrounded her.

- - -

Kay woke with a start, sitting straight up. She turned to look at the dog who had spaced himself even farther from Kay during the night and was near the fire now. Kay crawled over to Charlie and looked at him and let out a breath that she didn't realize she was holding.

What did that dream mean? Kay thought as she backed away from Charlie and went over to the fire. She went close to the fire and looked into it, thinking hard. Her heart pounded hard and she closed her eyes.

What did it mean... Well, I should look it over, no matter how much I don't want to, Kay thought, opening her eyes a bit. How did I feel when Charlie died? I felt... Scared. I felt like the world had ended. I didn't know what to do.

Kay sighed and her eyes suddenly widened. Does that mean... I love him? Kay gasped and covered her nose and mouth with her hands as tears started to stream down her face. I must love him...

She looked over to Charlie and felt her heart bang against her ribcage. "I must..." she whispered, wiping a tear away from her eye. Kay laughed slightly and crawled back to her spot on the floor. She sighed and closed her eyes, thinking about her realization... And wondering if he liked her back.

Next Chapter: Kay wonders what Charlie will choose, if he will take Kikyo's proposal and become a dog again, or will he stay the way he is? Charlie and Kay wonder about their feelings for each other, though it seems like everyone else isn't wondering at all.

Michelle: Wow...

Kay: What?

Michelle: Freak.

Kay: ...

Michelle: LOSER!

Charlie: Um... You're weird.

Kay: Yeah... Or else I'm running out of ideas for this ending sketch at the end of the chapters.

Michelle: Well, that's a drag.

Kay: Yeah.

Kouga: MICHELLE! MY LOVE!

Kay: But that always livens it up.

Michelle: I HATE YOU, KAY! I CAN DO THE EXACT SAME THING!

Hiromasa: Princess Kay, marry me!

Kay: Yeah, but you don't have the awesome author powers to kill anyone you like... Wait, why didn't I think of this earlier! (kills Michelle and Hiromasa)

Michelle: (dead)

Hiromasa: (dead)

Kay: Ha! Next chapter will not be tainted by Michelle, and it's called This. That's a strange name.

Kouga: No! You killed Michelle!

Kay: Watch your mouth, because I can kill you too.

To an anonymous reviewer: Sam, yes, I am Kay, and Michelle and Kay are not made up. I'm sure that some of you other readers are also confused about that. And thank you for the nice review, Sam. (Dammit! I broke the rules!)
