Chapter Eight What Happened Next?
"Kagome – chan!" "Kagome – sama!" "Nee – san!" "Ka.. go.. me…."
Kagome stopped skipping, and turned to where her friends and her otouto were calling her. She was so absorbed in her own world that she ad not noticed he friends that were walking towards her and had walked past them.
"Kagome – chan? Are you all right? You seem so happy…" Sango had said worriedly.
"And I 'm not supposed too?" Kagome had replied. "Why can't I be happy?"
"Well… You had seemed sad just now… I mean Inuyasha…" Miroku had said but was stopped mid – way by Kagome.
"So… I don't have to run after him anymore. He has Kikyo." Kagome had said indignantly.
Their eyes nearly rolled from their sockets. Their mouth hung open. For the first time ever, in three years, Kagome had treated Inuyasha like she didn't care what happened to him. And that was so… weird.
But then, she was growing up. Inuyasha would have to face that phase someday. Maybe never.
"Kagome – sama, have you met someone new?" Miroku cheekily enquired.
"Houshi – sama!" Sango said in horror. Kagome was just hurt by Inuyasha. That question would hurt her even more!
But to her surprise and to Miroku, Shippo and Souta, a faint blush crept onto Kagome's face. When Miroku asked that question, her mind had flashed back to the stranger, now known as Shuuichi.
Profound emerald eyes that contained wisdom, secrets, and pain. And silky-smooth red hair. And his smile.
Kagome blushed an even darker shade as she noticed her friends and brother staring at her.
"What?" she asked, self-conscious. She twirled a lock of her raven locks.
Sango hid a smile. Kagome – chan finally met someone new. He had to be brilliant for Kagome to look this radiant with happiness. Sango felt extremely happy for her friend.
Even Souta, her brother was glad. Inu-no-nichan was cool and all but he didn't know how to treat his nee – san properly.
"Congrats" was the only word they said as they headed back home. Inuyasha, could find his way home with his incredible sense of smell.
They chattered happily about their day. But Kagome never revealed what had happened when she was alone. Perhaps she wanted it to be a secret that she can cherish. She didn't know whether she could see him again. Maybe never.
Maybe, in time.

"Oi! Kurama!" yelled Yusuke.
"Huh?" was his intelligent answer. He had placed a hand on his cheek where that mysterious person had kissed him. He was still in shock and her scent continued to linger around him.
Roses and spices make a wicked combination! Youko had said cheekily. Kurama had to agree.
Hiei sniffed around. "There was someone here. She has left."
"She!" the Reikai Tantei group had exclaimed.
"Oh Kurama! We are so happy for you! Finally! You're dating someone!" Botan had said cheekily. Keiko and Yukina had giggled.
Kurama spluttered. "I wasn't dating!" His face felt hot.
They had laughed seeing the red on Kurama's face. Even Hiei had to smile. Kurama had looked so comical then.
Who was she? Did you sense anything strange? She might be one of the demons disguised, to kill us. You must be careful Kurama. Hiei said in Kurama's mind.
Kurama frowned. Now that Hiei said that, he did feel something strange about her, but it skipped his mind then.
Kurama felt a wave of disappointment. What if she was a demon that tried to take his heart? She did look too beautiful to be true. What if. If.
"I didn't get her name," said Kurama softly, but they heard what he said.
"She left before I could ask." He sighed. Yusuke, Hiei and even Kuwabara, caught the longing look in his eyes.
They were curious.
What kind of woman could have caught Kurama's heart so easily?

Inuyasha was walking along the rooftops. Here and there. He didn't want to go back just yet. He was still mad and hurt.
Suddenly Inuyasha sensed a strong youki around the area. He jumped down. Youki was surrounding the area. It was dangerous.
He transformed Tetsusaiga. He broke Shippo's spell. This wasn't the time for illusions.
"Hanyou…" came a raspy voice. Inuyasha slowly watch as a huge demon, that looked like one of those vampire bats demon he had defeated to enable his sword to break barriers.
This one was powerful. But wasn't much of a challenge to Inuyasha.
However, before Inuyasha could attack it, that demon gave out a strong miasma from it's mouth an laughed eerily. "Hanyou! You wouldn't be able to defeat me! Hanyou!"
Inuyasha growled. He was sick of being called a hanyou. He knew he was one but that doesn't mean they should insult him for being one.
"Kaze no Kizu!" Inuyasha was fast losing consciousness. The miasma was spreading all over his body.
The demon screamed. "Hanyou! How can you get this power! A demon sword at that!" The demon screamed it's threats for revenge before disappearing into smoke.
Inuyasha nearly fainted but he kept himself in the world of the living.
He heard voices. "The youki! There! Hurry!"
He jumped up. He had to leave!

Yusuke felt a strong youki just miles away from the amusement park and had ran there. Hiei, Kurama and Kuwabara too had sense the youki.
Then, another youki had appeared. The wind shifted for a moment. Then a shout. "Kaze no Kizu"
The earlier youki had vanished. They assumed that it had either left or was killed by the other. Most likely killed.
Miasma drifted their way. Kurama stayed back to clear the miasma. It would kill humans if they inhaled it.
"The youki! There! Hurry!"
They had to hurry. Hiei reached there first. He caught sight of a hanyou. With silver hair, that was fast leaving the scene of crime. He quickened his steps but the hanyou disappeared.
Hiei felt annoyed. Someone was faster than him. Then, he noticed holes on the ground. Not exactly holes but deep scratches on the round as if someone huge had drag their claws across the ground. Leaving deep marks.
When Yusuke and Kuwabara arrived moments later, he told them what he had seen. Kurama was also informed. They were left wondering. Was there a demon or hanyou whom killed other demons to possess the Shikon shards? They could not sense the shards but they had a machine specially built to sense them, Yusuke held it. It was shaped like a hand held phone. No Shikon shards were sensed in that area.
Or was there a demon too, who wanted to protect the three worlds? They were left wondering.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome had screamed after witnessing in fall limp in front of her. He also had his hanyou features. Even Tetsusaiga looked like always.
They were about to have their dinner when Inuyasha had came in and Kagome had proceeded to scold him and he had close his eyes and fainted.
Did he get into trouble?
Kagome sensed miasma in Inuyasha's bloodstream and she panicked.
"Kagome – sama. What's wrong with Inuyasha?" Miroku had asked worriedly.
"He has some miasma in his body. We have to purify it quick before it flows throughout the body!" Kagome had said. Anxiety was striking her repeatedly with it's hammer.
Miroku hurriedly carried Inuyasha to Kagome's bed. He had no strength to bring the hanyou to the guest room which they were staying temporally and had dumped Inuyasha on Kagome's bed.
Kagome quickly ripped his shirt open. Now was not the time for modesty. Sango had helped by placing a pail of water with a cloth so that Kagome could bring down Inuyasha's fever. He was burning.
Kagome placed her hands on his chest and felt her energy swirling into Inuyasha blood stream. Inuyasha glowed a steady pink. She willed her pure energy to purify the miasma that had seeped into his organs. Inuyasha's raspy breathing became stable. She continued purifying the remaining miasma that was in his blood stream.
She pulled back her hands. He was still burning. Kagome placed a wet cloth on his forehead. Mrs. Higurashi appeared in the doorway.
"Kagome. Do you want me to take over? You need to eat." She had said worriedly.
"Iie mama. Just leave a plate of oden for me. Inuyasha's fever is still rising." Kagome mumbled.
"Ah.." her mother had complied.
During the night, Inuyasha had started coughing but his fever had gone down. Sango had done a favour by sleeping in the guest room with Shippo while Miroku slept with Souta. In the room, Kagome could hear a few smacks as Miroku pleaded with Sango to sleep with him.
"I wouldn't bite" were his exact words.
When would he ever learn?
Inuyasha woke up in the middle of the night calling for her. She had been trying not to fall asleep but failed. When Inuyasha called her name, she had snap awake immediately.
"Kagome. Thank you for taking care of me." He had whispered holding her hand in his. "I'm sorry for blowing up like that this afternoon."
"It's ok. II forgive you." Kagome had said back tenderly.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Shuuichi. I have you to thank for.
Inuyasha had fallen back asleep after he heard her response.
She sighed. She didn't know whether she would be fit enough to go back to school tomorrow.
She gazed at Inuyasha. He looked so kawaii when he slept and she ran her fingers through his hair. She passed a hand through his hair and it didn't stop once. Not one knot. It was so thick that his hair never knotted, even when he fought, or when he ran around the trees with it whipping behind him.
He even purred when she rubbed at his furry ears. She loved cute, furry things. Chibi Kurama, (the plushie) was sitting on her desk, it's amber eyes glistening in the dark.
Kagome yawned. She needed to sleep. She laid her head on the chair which she was sleeping in. She grabbed chibi Kurama and hugged it while she slept.
In the morning when she awoke, Kagome had squirmed in her seat. Both Inuyasha and Shuuichi had been in her dream last night. But she had forgotten the details.
Inuyasha was still sleeping and she decided to let him sleep the whole day while she got ready for school. Sango, Miroku and Shippo were so excited about school that they had already got ready. She smiled.
School was going to be fun today.
Oh. Kagome had no idea.
