Inuyasha: Out of the Darkness

Ch.9: The secret revealed, fall into the darkness

Inuyasha: That thing… What is it?

Kagome: Don't worry about it now; I'm just glad you're alright.

Inuyasha: Kagome, you've been keeping this a secret from me for long enough. Now, just tell me what it is. Please?

Kagome: Not yet. You're not in good enough condition to be worrying about it. Just wait till you're better, ok?

Inuyasha: (gives evil glare) You CAN'T keep it a secret forever. Sooner or later, I'll find out what it is.

Kagome: Well, we'll just have to see about that won't we? Till then I'll be in my time, so rest up while you can, Inuyasha. And DON'T follow me.

Kagome picks up the object and walks off towards the well. Kiede sat next to Inuyasha to see the expression on his face. He looked saddened and confused at the young girl taking off when she knew he needed her most. She quickly saw the stew she was cooking was done, and gave some to Inuyasha. He smiled at the old woman's attempt to cheer him up. "Thank you" he said after a while.

In the mean time, Kagome was almost to the well when a familiar aura came upon her. She looked around to see who it was.

Shesshomaru: So it was you I smelt. And Inuyasha isn't around, perfect.

Kagome: What the fuck do you want?

Shesshomaru: (gives an evil grin) To slay my little brother's whench. Once you're out of my way it will be even easier to kill Inuyasha. In other words, he'll be to hurt over your loss to put up a fight!

Kagome: Damn you! Why can't you just leave us alone!

Shesshomaru: Because he's a disgrace to the Dog Demon clan!

Once he said this, Shesshomaru lunged at Kagome with blinding speed, grazing her cheek as he passed. The warm sting of her blood put her in the defensive. She quickly pulled out her bow and arrow and quickly shot. She struck the demon lord, and in sheer anger, he attacked again. This time the two powers collided, leaving a cloud of dust behind. There was some other sound and movement but the clouds where too think to see anything serious.

Sango, not far away, saw the huge smoke cloud and came to investigate. She stood and paused hoping to see something emerge from the smoke. She did… But it was only Shesshomaru. She only stood there thinking of what to say.

Sango: (after a while) Shesshomaru! It figures… What the hell are you doing here!

Shesshomaru: Humph! I did what I came here to do. I have no business with you, so be gone you foolish human.

Sango: Yeah, and what's that suppose to mean? Whose life was it this time? You sure seem confident since all of a sudden I'm no threat.

Shesshomaru: If you must know, look for yourself, girl.

Sango looked over and saw a small figure with red all over it. 'Blood' She thought as she looked at the small thing in the distance.

Sango: Who was it, tell me.

Shesshomaru: Why do you worry so much? It was no more than a pest I needed to take care of.

Sango: (gives a very worried expression) Was it Inuyasha?

Shesshomaru: No… But he's next in line to be delt with. Figure it out yourself, you mange human. Good day.

He gave an evil laugh as he walked slowly away. Sango stood there, shocked, not knowing what to do. Sango then looked at the corpse in the distance and saw white and green mixed with the blood. 'Oh my god' She thought as she ran up to her fallen friend. She looked all over her for a sign of life, but lost the hope when she looked into her blank eyes. She knew she was lost, but the trick was telling that to the love of her life, Inuyasha. She feared what would happen to him when she gave him such news. She also knew when she told him, it would worsen his condition. In the distance Miroku called to Sango, noticing Shesshomaru was sp pleased with himself. He got close enough to her any word she spoke, then she broke the silenece.

Sango: (softly) I was too late.

Miroku: What do you mean?
Sango: Look at what he did to her. That basterd!

Miroku: This is bad. This is really, really bad. So that's why Shesshomaru was so pleased with himself. Poor Kagome.

Sango: Well, right now she's better off than we are. She can't tell Inuyasha. But, how can we tell him without breaking him. There's no way we could do that.

Miroku: I can only imagine his reaction… Poor guy. He'll be so crushed.

Sango: Yeah. I just hope I won't hurt his feelings too much.

Miroku: Why do you have to tell him?
Sango: Because he probily wouldn't believe you, Miroku. He'd think it was one of your lecherous jokes.

Miroku: Right, I forgot about his view. Anyway I'll start digging a hole to act as her resting sight.

Sango headed to the village, while Miroku started digging Kagome's grave. Sango knew jest where to find him, and when she did, he was asleep. She smile gently at this, it wasn't often he was asleep. She sat down next to him, and gently stroked his cheek. Inuyasha, feeling her soft skin on his cheek, sleepishly woke up.

Inuyasha: What do you want now Sango?

Sango: There's something very important I have to tell you Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: I'm too tired Sango, can't it wait?
Sango: I'm afraid not. Inuyasha, something just came up, and it's very bad.

Inuyasha: (quickly got up) What is it? Is it about Kagome? Tell me!
Sango: Unfortunately, yes. Inuyasha, she's… she… she's gone. Shesshomaru killed her, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for her Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: No… It can't be true, it just can't be.

Sango: (embraces him) I wish it wasn't true as well, but it is Inuyasha. I'm sorry, I really didn't want it to happen, or have to tell you this. I had no other choice. Now come on.

Sango took off with Inuyasha to where Kagome was to be buried. The whole was ready for Kagome, and Inuyasha did nothing but sob the whole time. He found the courage to pound the soft dirt to make sure that it was complete. Sango and Miroku got a rock and Sango engraved her name, while Miroku chanted for her soul to go to heaven. Then Inuyasha started to walk away but pauses when he sees the object wrapped in the blanket again. He gently picked it up and started to remove the blanket. A small dog ear popped out and almost knocked Inuyasha over. Sango came over to see what Inuyasha was doing. He then uncovered the whole thing.

Inuyasha: OH MY FUCKING GOD!
Sango: What is it? Hmmm? (looks at the baby) WHAT THE HELL!

Inuyasha: (shakes as he talks) This child. This is what she tried so desperately to protect from me?

Sango: (in a loving tone) She never told you, did she? This is your child Inuyasha, this is why she didn't want you to know right now. She didn't want the extra stress on your body.

Inuyasha: This is my child?

Sango: That's right.

Inuyasha: (whispers) Makida.

Sango: I'm sorry, what was that?

Inuyasha: Makida, the child's name is Makida. (whispers again) She's just like in my dream. Only real. It's as if she's mocking us. (louder) I gotta go, I'll' see you guys later.

He went to grave to hope she'll give him guidance and her spirit and soul to be happy as long as he and Makida live. He put his finger on Makida's nose and she bit it. He was surprised at first, not knowing how to react. Then he remembered that it was her way of knowing if it was family or not. In the distance, though, Kouga smelled Inuyasha's blood and saw it as a chance to steal her from the wounded half-breed. He went there quickly to seek out his plot to take away Kagome, but little did he know, she was no longer there to steal from Inuyasha.

Kouga: Heh, well what do we have here?

Inuyasha: (in a soft-pained voice) Kouga… What the hell do you want?

Kouga: Hmmm? What kinda trick are you tryin to pull mutt-face? Where's Kagome?

Inuyasha: Wouldn't you like to know?

End.
