ENJOY OR I WILL FIND YOU! :-P
Last Time with the Inu Gang….
Inuyasha looked to Miroku and the others and shook them awake.
"What?" said Shippo as he rubbed his little eyes trying to become more awake.
"Where's Kagome?" asked Sango looking around
"She's gone" said Inuyasha still angry at himself
"Where is she?" said Miroku calm but stern
*silence*
"With Naraku" said Inuyasha
Kagome POV:
I woke up in a daze, my head feeling filled with pressure. I blinked several times waking up a bit as I looked about the small room I was in. there was a chain tied around my right ankle and hooked to the wall to ensure I didn't try anything. The wall was a medieval grey stone, matching the cold concrete floor. The room looked sad and deserted only to be filled with slight orange faded sunlight coming from the tiny window at the very top of this small, strange room. The window was only about as big as my hand.
Its morning already? I was out that long? I thought
Dirt dared to come into the small window. A few specks fell in front of me. Was I underground? If so, where underground?
My blood pulsed making my head throb.
I know that feeling….I thought
It's the jewel!
I looked around intently. No jewel. I could sense it. I knew it was near. I was breathing heavily because of the extreme stuffiness in the room. I heard my own breaths echoing off the walls that seemed to watch my every move. My thoughts, the only thing between me and loneliness. I felt like I hadn't eaten in many days. My stomach grumbled at the thought of fish on an open fire with all my friends. I winced. I missed them already.
"I see you are awake" said the deep voice on the opposite side of the square room. Out of a dark corner emerged the one most hated, Naraku. I backed against the wall as he drew closer. He stopped when he was about 6 feet away.
"Did you miss me?" he said.
"Who would ever miss you, creep!" I spat at him, disgusted.
"Now now, no need to be so mean" the corners of his mouth perked up to almost create an almost half smile evilly.
"What do you want Naraku!" I said trying to seem stern, but voice still groggy.
"You see, I've watched you and your gang with my poisonous insects,"
No surprise there I thought
"And I was thinking, why not get rid of Inuyasha right now? It will be very simple, all I have to do is capture you and lure him here. Then I can get rid of him and everyone else at the cost of you" he smirked
I winced again. I wanted Inuyasha to come, but now I wish he wouldn't. I could get so injured I die, and it would hurt, but I could never stand Inuyasha getting hurt, or anyone else. I needed to get out of here, but the only way was through the window. I could NEVER get through that tiny thing…..
There was silence
"All we need to do is wait, I hope I don't get too impatient." He said with a parting smile, and in a blink of an eye, he was gone.
Inuyasha POV-
Rocks and twigs punctured my feet as I ran swiftly through the trees. I was pushing my legs over their youki limit.
I need to get Kagome back! That stupid Naraku is gonna pay! I thought
Inuyasha felt like slapping himself. He was going to tell her he loved her. He tried to keep that behind thick bars. The only one who noticed was Miroku.
*Flashback!*
The night she was captured.
"Inuyasha?" said Miroku standing up
"Yah whhhat?" said Inuyasha mouth full of rice.
*silence*
Miroku lifted Inuyasha by his elbow quickly and dragged him outside the hut with Inuyasha screaming, "Miroku! What are you doing! What about the ramen!" with his hand outstretched to his food. Everyone looked at them ever so strangely as they exited.
"What was that for!" said Inuyasha when he was released in the forest out of the huts hearing and seeing view.
"Calm down" said Miroku with his hands up. "I wanted to talk to you"
"Bout' what?" said Inuyasha curiously, eating the rest of the rice.
"I know you're in love with Kagome"
"B...b. uhhhhh h..h..How do you know?" he stuttered. His face lit with small specks of pink blush.
"It is simple to spot, but, the girls and Shippo have not seen it yet."
"W….w…w...why did you come to tt.t...t...t… talk to me about that for?"
"I am simply saying that Kagome thinks that you will never love her"
"Why would she say that?"
"Inuyasha! Kagome has always been upset because she knows you and Kikyo love each other! That is why!" Miroku was angry at Inuyasha for making him state the complete obvious.
"But I'm done with Kikyo!" he said
"Inuyasha, being 'done' doesn't mean, going to kiss her secretly in the forest, or see if she is alright when Kagome is the one who is injured!" his voice raised a little so he toned it down a bit.
Inuyasha was silent and more blush crept onto his face. He really wasn't done with Kikyo was he?
"H…how do you know that?"
"Kagome told Sango and, being my girl and all, she had to tell me"
Did Kagome hate him for liking Kikyo in the past? She must have. She fought with him all the time. He rubbed his head feeling the bump from when she 'accidently' sat him on a rock.
*more silence*
"I'm saying, Inuyasha, you have to tell her. Do you want her to go to Koga instead?" Miroku had to play this card.
"NO WAY! SHES NEVER GOING TO THAT IDIOT!" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku quieted Inuyasha's voice.
"Then you have to tell her soon." said Miroku. And with a flick of his head he was gone, back down the path to the hut.
Kagome…I'll tell you tomorrow, I love you.
*Flashback Ended*
Inuyasha mentally kicked himself in the shin. He should have told her that night! He looked down to the sparkling heart shaped locket around his neck. Kagome gave him that locket about 2 months ago, and to seem strong, he said he'd never wear it, but that night, he stole it from her backpack. And she didn't even miss it the next day.
I'll get you back Kagome! Hang in there!
Kagome POV:
After a day of no rest, I allowed myself a night's sleep tonight. The 5 star rated room I was in, was lit only slightly by the moon its self. I laid my head on the ground and curled me knees to my chest to bring some slight warmth to my chilled body. And amazingly, I fell to a deep slumber.
I jolted from sleep and looked about. It was pitch black. I looked around inside the room, only seeing nothingness. But then a beautiful woman appeared in front of me. She had very, very long purple hair that went down to her thin calves. Part of it was tied back in a tight bun. Her lips were a perfect red curve of art. Her white, Hollywood skin shone. Her dark eyes sparkled. And she wore a priestess's kimono; she looked like a beautiful, yet powerful, miko. She walked towards me. I didn't move there was something about this person that told me not to be frightened. I strained to sit up more as she stopped.
"Kagome Higurashi, the new protector of the shikon jewel,"
Wow! Nobody I've meet in the feudal era has ever talked about the jewel and not compared me to Kikyo.
"Who are you?" I ask timidly
"I am Shinkutso, once a protector of the shikon jewel myself. I thought I could lend some assistance to the new protector" she waved a hand in my direction. I thought for a moment, and knew what I had to do.
"I need you to keep the half inu-hanyou Inuyasha away from here" I said. I can't believe I am saying this but, as long as he was safe at least I have a little peace at mind.
"Alright" said Shinkutso, and with a flick of her hand they were outside of Naraku's castle. I let the warm, fresh air fill my lungs. I missed nature's oxygen.
"I will place flowers around the premises" she said as many yellow flowers appeared, suddenly covering the ground under the thick sheet of 2 am fog.
"These flowers will captivate any inu-hanyou's sense of smell from 50 meters away from the flower" explained Shinkutso. The flowers smelt like ordinary flowers to me, but Inuyasha will never be able to smell me or Naraku out once he comes within 50 meters. I let out a heavy sigh. Shinkutso waved her hand again and we were suddenly in the woods were Inuyasha and the gang were, sleeping. Tears pricked at the edges of my eyes. They were so close to being there, but they will never make it. Shinkutso watched as I crouched down and reached a hand to touch Inuyasha's bangs that fell over his face. His hair was familiarly soft but the softness bitterly stung my heart. I would never feel his hair again. My fingers made their way to his ears and felt the soft fuzzy fur, remembering when we first met. Tears made their way to my chin, venturing down my face. I missed him so dearly, and I was going to tell him, I loved him.
*Flashback!*
They day she was captured
Miroku splashed into the room and drug Inuyasha out by his elbow with him shouting and white rice spilling out of his mouth. Kagome whispered to Shippo in the commotion to follow them. Shippo waited till they were probably at a reasonable distance, and then swiftly snuck out of the room. Sango turned to Kagome when they were both done eating.
"Hey Kagome," Sango asked, it sounded like a question.
"Yah, what is it Sango?" Kagome answered
Sango glanced around to make sure nobody was listening.
"You love Inuyasha don't you? ^-^ I think you guys should hook up!"
Blush exploded on her face.
"HH…H…How can you tell?"
"Simple, but Shippo and the guys' haven't seemed to notice yet…"
"ii…i…I can't because he loves Kikyo" she hung her head.
"I think it wouldn't hurt to tell him…" said Sango.
That wasn't true. Kagome thought Inuyasha would probably cuss her out if she even brought up the subject.
"What I'm trying to say is, even if he'll say he doesn't love you back, or runs off, you need to tell him! I know he may not DESERVE to know but you should tell him anyway!" exclaimed Sango.
"You should tell him tomorrow!" said Sango with a hopeful face
"You know what? I will! Tomorrow I will!" said Kagome with excitement.
*End of Flashback!*
I never got to, and I never will.
"You have a strong bond with this hanyou?" she said crouching down beside me. All I did was sniffle back the rest of the tears that pushed at my eyes, daring to escape. There was a heavy silence that hung in the air. Shinkutso broke the silence with her soft, sympathetic voice.
"Are you sure you want me to do this?" she asked
I shook my head 'yes' violently, and then found out never to do that again, because my head began to hurt.
"I will now erase his memory of this event." She said as I released my hand and she placed two fingers on his forehead. A purple glow went from her fingers to his head, then disappeared. The smell of my salty tears hung in the air. She took her fingers off, allowing me one last feel of his kimono on his shoulder, the nice skin on his face, and the handle of his powerful sword. I looked to the glooming necklace on neck that made him obey. I had to do this. I looked at them and took them off his neck.
"Your free" I said in a whimpering voice at the sleeping Inuyasha as we appeared back in the small room. Shinkutso looked at me then disappeared. I hugged my only connection I now had to my lost love. I couldn't hold it back anymore. I began to let the tears flow off my face to the floor, I wheezed and shuttered between sobs. I hated this! I wished this would have never happened! I wish Naraku had never come to the hut that night! I wish…..I wish I would have told Inuyasha sooner.
I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry this took so long! With school and HW it's hard to keep this updated! But I have made it yes! I think it went well! What do you think?
