Inuyasha Dark Night Chapter 10: Death
The poison was seeping deeper within Shippou. Nothing seemed to help for very long. Kagome started crying a few times, Inuyasha even comforted her. Shippou looked like he was suffering, and he was not going to get better either. In a couple of days he finally woke up, but he was worse than before, and was fading. Kagome took him in her arms, cradling him.
"Kagome..." he whispered. Tears formed in both of their eyes. "I will... never forget you, any of you," he said, wincing. Tears fell down Kagome's face, even Sango got choked up, Miroku put an arm around her shoulders and she cried on his right shoulder. Shippou winced even harder and then sunk down, his little hand falling out of Kagome's. Kagome fell on her knees. Inuyasha knelt down in front of her and pulled her close. Tears formed in his eyes, even. Kagome set Shippou down gently and then sobbed on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"I wish I could have done something to protect him more," Inuyasha said, quietly. Kagome shook her head.
"It wasn't your fault. I could have done something..." she sobbed.
After awhile Miroku dug a grave for Shippou around the side of the hut. There was a tree right next to the grave, so that they would know where to find it.
"Dammit, it was my fault that it happened, since I was the one that the men were after, I should have been killed instead," Inuyasha stated, slamming a fist into the palm of his other hand.
"Don't say that, you'll only make things worse," Miroku said, rolling his sleeves back down over his arms. He put his hands in prayer form and closed his eyes. Kagome was still crying and hugging Sango, Kilala also seemed sad because of Shippou's death. She was close to him after all. Sango pet her lightly as she rest on her shoulder. Kilala went over to Kagome's shoulder and licked her cheek.
"Thank you, Kilala. I'll be fine, it will just take me awhile to get over it. Although, I don't think I ever will," Kagome said, wiping away the tears and pulling away from Sango. Sango still had tears in her eyes, and shook her head.
"It will be hard, but if we defeat Naraku, I'm sure some of the frustration and anger will be released," she stated. Kagome nodded.
The group decided to move on, since that is all that they could do. Miroku's leg was healed all the way. The group started walking, and hoped to find Naraku so that they could destroy him once and for all.
Lina: no, it is not the end. I have many more plans for this fic. Sorry if u didn't like that I killed Shippou, it's not that I hate him, I just thought it would fit. I've had this idea for awhile, but I never found the right fic to put it in. Since it will get very angsty later, this was a good one to do it in.
Shippou: You're so mean!
Lina: Heh, I know. I'm evil! U might come back in another alternate reality again! hehe. 'Alternate realities are neat!' -Anya lol Okay, Merry Christmas, even though it's not a very good xmas present. See you after the New Year!
Inu: Happy New Year!
Miroku: Pompai!
Sango: Cheers!
Kagome: Merry Christmas and to all a good night!
