Chapter 37
Taka awoke. She groaned. She looked down.
'Where's my top?' she asked herself when the thin blanket Kagome spread on her slipped off.
"Oh, glad to see you're awake Taka," Miroku walked in with a smile.
Taka shrieked and threw a pot that was nearby at his head.
"Hentai!" she exclaimed.
Kagome walked in.
"And to think he knew I was washing your top," Kagome sweat dropped and handed Taka her top.
Taka groaned in pain. Kagome kneeled beside her.
"Daijoubu?" she asked.
Taka nodded. Inuyasha stirred on the bed beside her.
"What happened to him?" Taka asked.
"You passed out and Inuyasha saved you... and Ayaka and Chika attacked while he protected you," Kagome explained.
Taka looked at him. He had more wounds then her.
"He passed out after a lot of those vines shot through him," Isamu rubbed against Kagome, "Isamu turned to his third form and killed Chika and Ayaka escaped."
"Kuso," Taka snarled quietly.
Taka stood but fell back down with a small cry of pain.
"Taka!" gasped Kagome.
"I want to go kill that bastard!" Taka snarled painfully.
"Everyone does, Taka," Kagome said calmly, "he's caused everyone a lot of pain."
Taka slammed her fist down. Kagome looked at her friend. A tear ran down Taka's angry face. Isamu meowed and put a paw on Taka. She picked up the cat and pet him.
"Inuyasha got hurt by Naraku fifty years ago," Kagome started.
Taka looked up.
"Naraku made him and your sister Kikyo hate each other... he loved her back then..." Kagome looked at Inuyasha.
Taka didn't answer.
"And Sango's village was destroyed and everyone there but her was killed... Naraku took control of her brother, and Miroku has the cursed kazanna in his right palm."
"And then there's me... making me attack you guys like you were enemies," she clenched her fist.
Taka put on her top. Kuragari walked in.
"Daijoubu?" he asked her.
"Hai," answered Taka.
Kuragari put a hand on her shoulder.
"Leave for a second Kagome," Kuragari kissed her forehead.
Kagome laughed.
"Alright," she stood and walked out.
"You know, Taka," Kuragari started, "Inuyasha saved you."
"I knew," Taka said.
"Isamu asked Inuyasha through telepathy is he could protect the one he loved and he told me he also told Inuyasha he had to prove he loved you... so he protected you until he collapsed."
Taka looked up at him. Her look just asked if it was true. Kuragari nodded. He squeezed her shoulder.
"Now get some rest," he stood.
"Alright," she lay down.
Kuragari walked out. Taka rolled over to look at Inuyasha.
"Aishiteru," she whispered.
She moved and kissed him lightly on the cheek and fell asleep.
A soul collector flew off the roof of the hut. Kikyo sat on the edge of a cliff nearby. The soul collector flew in front of her whispering the words it heard to her. She growled and it flew around her once again.
"If Inuyasha doesn't want to come with me to hell... my own sister will join me... she almost died anyway," Kikyo jumped, disappearing in the air and reappearing on the ground, "I will get her tonight."
