Chapter 23

"I CAN'T WEAR THAT! IT'S TOO BIG! I'LL LOOK RIDICULOUS!"

"YOU'LL WEAR IT OR I'LL MAKE YOU WEAR IT! DON'T THINK I WON'T!"

"DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT!"

"YOU CAN SIT ME ALL YOU WANT BUT YOU'RE GUNNA WEAR IT!"

"GET OFF ME! I'M NOT INVALID, JUST PREGNANT! I DON'T NEED IT!"

"STOP. FIGHTING. ME. ON. THIS!"

"NO!"

"YOU'LL THANK ME WHEN THE VILLAGE CATCHES ON FREAKING FIRE OR WHEN A DEMON ATTACKS YOU!"

"WHEN, EXACTLY, HAS THE VILLAGE CAUGHT ON FIRE?! AND I'LL JUST ALWAYS CARRY MY BOW! YOU'RE FREAKING OUT OVER NOTHING! GET OFF!"

"OH, I'M FREAKING OUT OVER NOTHING HUH?! I CAUGHT THE VILLAGE ON FIRE BACK WHEN I STOLE THE JEWEL! I ATTACKED THE VILLAGE AND...'

"AND YEAH THAT HAPPENED SO PUT. IT. ON!"

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF...GET. OFF. ME! THERE'S NO JEWEL NOW SO THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANYONE DESTROYING THE VILLAGE FOR NO REASON IS LIKE ZERO, ZILCH, NOT HAPPENING!"

"ARE YOU BLIND OR JUST PLAIN STUPID!? DON'T YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM THREE YEARS AGO?!"

What the fuck is wrong with me?! Can't back down now. This is too important.

"VILLAGES GET ATTACKED ALL THE TIME! FUCK, I'M SURPRISED THERE'S ANYONE STILL ALIVE IN YOUR ERA SO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED EVERYDAY!"

"You're being ridiculous! I'M JUST PREGNANT! I can still fight, ya know!"

"Oh hells no! You're not doing any fighting, not anymore. You're gunna be lucky if I even let you leave the hut!"

As soon as that left my mouth, I knew I was fucked.

"Is that so?!"

Well, too late to turn back now.

"Yeah that's right! You ain't doing jack shit!"

"OSWARI!"

Saw that coming.

"YOU CAN'T PREDICT THE FUTURE KAGOME! IT'S TOO FUCKING DANGEROUS! WEAR THE FUCKING ROBE!"

'"WHY ARE YOU BEING LIKE THIS?"

"BECAUSE I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!"

Ah, shit. Didn't meant to say that.

OH GODS! SHE'S CRYING!

"Kagome, don't cry! Shhh...please...please don't cry. I...I...just...and...and now..."
