Chapter 6 – Two Minds but One Heart
The darkness of the night was overshadowed by the radiance of the stars after the rain stopped. A night like this seems like it will last forever but it couldn't. But some may have wished it would.
Kagome was sleeping for hours and everyone else was sitting by the fire out in Kaede's hut letting Kagome take a rest and Kaede to look on her. Faces revealed confusion, discomfort, anxiousness and yet they shared the understanding thought of giving time for thinking of what happened. Shippo who couldn't stand to ask, broke the silence and started the conversation. "Is Kagome gonna be okay?"
Inuyasha looked at him while Sango and Miroku looked at each other worriedly. Kaede suddenly appeared behind them and answered the question, "She's a strong girl…she'll be fine by tomorrow but right now she needs to take a rest." Inuyasha looked down as Kaede looked at him. "It's time Inuyasha that you tell the truth…What happened?"
Inuyasha suddenly crossed his arms looks at his right and wears an 'I don't care' face, "Why should I?"
"Because I know it has something to do with you…"
"Feh."
"Ooh! Ooh! I'll tell! But promise me you'll get mad at him afterwards! HAHAHA!" Shippo interrupted as he looked at Inuyasha crossly. Kaede agreed with their deal. Inuyasha who felt angry tried to listen to Shippo instead. He knew what happened but didn't exactly understand why Kagome would do something like that instead of leaving and going home like she usually does.
"It was when sunset just came the other night and Kagome and I went to search for him. We heard him with Kikyo talking and decided to peek for a while when suddenly we saw Inuyasha hugged her. I looked at Kagome and saw her look back. She dragged me back with Sango, Miroku and Kirara and she didn't talk much after that." Shippo stopped for a moment and looked at them. He found them listening attentively and decided to continue.
"The next day when we were looking for shikon shards she was quiet not like the usual but only spoke when she felt a shard on the way. We followed it and saw Kikyo lying half-conscious and that was it. When night came we just found out that she wasn't there and we came looking for her and found Kouga close to Kagome's clothes but she wasn't there; she was in the spring sinking…good thing Miroku realized someone's breathing down underwater." Shippo finished.
"Why did she left anyway? Inuyasha grunted.
"You don't know?" Sango asked half-surprised at his question as Kirara just stared at them.
"You're so stupid Inuyasha!" Kaede said.
"When a woman sees the man she likes hugging with another woman, she'll get jealous or heartbroken," Miroku explained,"Ahh so that's why she looked all depressed in the morning!"
"But she usually goes home," Inuyasha muttered.
"And why is her uniform dirty and ripped?" Kaede complained. All of them looked at her not knowing that. "So all of you didn't know?" No one replied.
"I'm going to sleep on the next hut," she decided as she yawned walking towards the hut just nearby her own hut.
"Aww...but you said you'll get mad at him!" Shippo whined but Kaede just continued walking.
Sango stood up hugging Kirara and reached out a hand to Shippo, "Come now Shippo. Let's sleep. It's past midnight." Shippo went with her inside the hut where Kagome's sleeping as Miroku followed them carrying a face of a pervert. "Don't even think about it!" Sango said as she turned to face the pervert monk.
Inuyasha was left outside thinking. 'She always goes home when she's mad. But I guess she wasn't mad..but she would still go back home! Why is her clothes dirty and ripped anyway?' he thought and suddenly his thoughts went to Kikyo. 'Kikyo…' Then her words went back to his head, "She's dead! Why cry for her Inuyasha! When I killed you and you saw me about to die…you hated me but did you cry! I don't need to see this nonsense!...you hated me but did you cry? Did you cry? Did you cry? Did you cry?" Her words went on and on to his head until his head ached. He leaned back on the wall of the hut and decided to sleep outside.
The fire burned out as the smoke reaches up to the night sky till it passed to the moon almost showing itself fully.
