Chapter 11 – The Miko's mistake
This chapter's about Kagome's feelings while Sango's unconsience. Don't ask.
In the last hour, the gang had been fighting a ruthless demon. Sango had been attacked and fell unconscious afterwards. Everyone was terrified of her being that they rushed back to Kaede's village with a bruised taijiya and now await for the news of their companion…
The elder lady removed the curtain away from her face, and was now gleaming upon a Hanyou, a Miko, a monk, a kitsune, and a demon cat.
"Well?" Shippo quietly said, as his voice trailed off making it seem that he wasn't really asking a question. Kaede lowered her glimpse and looked at the small kitsune. Her eyes slowly trailed off to the hut.
"Well…" She began. "She seems to be fine. She has a few bruises and cuts on her body, and they didn't seem too bad." Kaede said.
"I feel a 'but' coming." Shippo frowned. Kaede lowered her head.
"But…The bandages won't do for too long. Her bleeding will eventually start, and it will soak the fabric in blood." Shippo sniffed.
"She won't die, will she?" He asked. He received a bonk on the head.
"Of course she won't." He heard Inuyasha say. Kaede smiled and shook her head.
"No child. She'll be fine." Everyone sighed of relief. Miroku smiled.
"That's a relief." He whispered. Kagome put a finger on her lip.
"And what about her head?" She wondered. Kaede looked at the young girl, who took the appearance of her sister.
"Her head is alright. She doesn't seem to have lost any memory, and there are no wounds. Her face is a bit bruised, but no damage to the brain." Kagome smiled. She nodded. "Would ye like to go check up on her?" Kaede asked. Everyone nodded, and scrunched their ways in the hut. Kagome laughed, but stayed in her place. Kaede looked at the child. Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't ye want to see your friend?" She asked. Kagome shook her head.
"I just need some time to think about stuff. I'll check up on her later tonight." Kagome said. Kaede nodded.
"I understand. Now be off!" Kaede reassured as she slightly shoved the miko to the other direction. Kagome giggled, but that giggle soon wore off, as she entered the forest. She walked in the rugged ground and spot a rock she could sit at. It wasn't until too long that she felt two tears fall down her face. She couldn't even look at herself in a mirror. She was so ticked with the way she behaved. Her emotion all drifted back to when she said those hurtful words to Sango's face. 'I hope you suffer.' And 'Inuyasha will never love you…' They made her feel ten times worse then the hurt she felt for when Kikyou and Inuyasha were together. 'Kikyou…' She thought. Kikyou was the one priestess that captured Inuyasha's heart from the very beginning. First, she felt pure hatred for the girl, but why? Had Kikyou ever felt jealous when Inuyasha was always around Kagome? She never yelled at Inuyasha when he went to see her, about how stupid that reincarnation of hers was. Why feel that negative vibe around her ancestor? The poor girl died at a young age protecting a jewel that would bring evil to the world…She sacrificed her own life to be a guardian of something so dangerous, just so people could live at piece. One day she got a reward, a Hanyou that very much loved her. She wasn't happy for too long. She was betrayed and forgotten. She was pushed away from this world counting the reasons to cry every now and then. Her world had shattered, just like the fragments of the Shikon No Tama. She was betrayed by a bastard who took the apparition of the person she loved, only carrying that hatred through dead itself. More tears started to fall from Kagome's face, and she wiped away the tears with a fist. A whimper escaped her lips, and she felt weak. For once in her life, she felt she made the biggest mistake. 'No, I've made the biggest mistakes.' She cried.
"I'm such a monster." She whispered. Ever since she was pulled into the well of her time, her life only began to get harder for her. She never asked for it. She wanted to be a normal person, hang out with normal people, live a normal life. Somehow 'normal' didn't seem right to her anymore. Her life wasn't normal, and if it was, she wouldn't have met so many interesting and great people. It's not always that someone travels through time by a sacred well…She thought sarcastically.
'Still…' She questioned why this happened to her, and not somebody else. Whoop de doo, she can sense jewel shards, and is the reincarnation of one of the most famous priestess ever, but why her. She wasn't so great. She wasn't perfect.
'For sure not anymore…' Her mind thought. All this pain only happened because she became so attached to this time, and fell for some guy. That guy, who saved her life Kami, knows how many times…She felt sad, she felt hated, she felt angry with herself, and she even felt embarrassment. Kagome always thought of that night where she found Inuyasha in the middle of the night, and abused him emotionally. Her body tensed up. She forced Inuyasha into kissing her. That wasn't the worst part actually…No one knew her deepest secret. She knew Inuyasha wasn't up that night to check up on her. He was going to check up on Sango. She knew it. That night when she asked Sango if she liked Inuyasha, she heard the expression in Sango's voice, and the looks in her eyes that gave it away; she was lying. Sango said no, but she was lying!
'She lied trying to make me happy. And I only pushed her away in the end.' Kagome realized Sango hadn't betrayed her, but she betrayed Sango. You can't control who you love…And Kagome made the bad mistake for claiming Inuyasha to be hers, without even asking for permission from him in the beginning.
"I goofed." She said. "Terribly." Kagome frowned, and stuffed her face in her hands crying for being the monster she claimed to be. Her sobs became sniffs, and soon she stopped crying. She soothed out her blouse, sat up and adjusted her skirt. Kagome walked deeper into the forest, until the sun shone at her face directing her to the lake. Kagome walked closely to the water, bent over and looked at her reflection. She smiled weakly. Kagome dipped her two fingers in the water, making it look like they were dancing. The ripples enlarged, and Kagome smelled the air. She looked at the sky.
"Sango…" Her voice trailed off. "I wonder how she's feeling right now…"
"I thought I'd find you here." Kagome turned around.
"Hi Inuyasha." She said.
"Hey yourself." He replied. Inuyasha looked at his surroundings. "Nice spot you picked out." He said. Kagome smiled.
"I guess." She sat down, Inuyasha did the same.
"Is something the matter?" He questioned. Kagome sighed.
"There's always something to matter." She whispered. He nodded. They sat quiet just watching a little bird bathe in the lake. It fluttered shaking the water off its feathers. The bird sang happily and flew away.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha spoke. "Why didn't you see Sango when Kaede told us to?" Kagome looked up at him.
"I needed to escape, and think." Kagome said. Inuyasha looked in her eyes.
"Was it about Sango?" He asked.
"Hmm…About Sango, about Kikyou, about you…and even about me." Kagome picked at the grass, and hoped that Inuyasha would say something sooner. She rolled her eyes, maybe he was thinking about Kikyou.
"Is there something between you and Sango?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome shook her head.
"There was, but not no more." She smiled. 'I think the real question here Inuyasha is, is there something between 'you' and Sango?' Kagome's mind spoke. Inuyasha moved the bangs out of his face, and began pulling on the grass too.
"I remember when you got out of the forest all pissed, and then Sango did too…" Inuyasha spoke.
"Oh yeah." Kagome whispered.
"She was holding onto her cheek, and I saw a bruise on it as I moved her hand away." He continued. "Did you slap her?" Kagome went dead. Her mind froze.
'Yeah.' She really wanted to say yes, but then it would make her sound like some bitch that goes around smacking other females. Kagome sank into her seat, and pushed away the grass on her skirt. She decided to say nothing. Inuyasha looked down at her.
"Well, did you or did you not?" He asked. Kagome felt a clog in her throat. She looked away.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha said raising his voice. "Answer me!"
"Yes alright?! I did. I never meant to, but I did." Kagome growled. She turned too look at Inuyasha. "Satisfied?!" She asked. He turned away.
"Why?" he asked a little rough. Kagome hugged her knees.
"Because I love you…" She answered. Her voice began breaking. "At least, I think I do…" Inuyasha turned to face her.
"You slapped Sango because you love me?" He questioned. Kagome chuckled.
"No Stupid…I got mad because she…"
"She what?" Inuyasha began asking again.
"It doesn't matter…" Kagome answered. She sighed and stood up. "How does she look?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
"I don't know, I didn't go in." Inuyasha said. Kagome was off guard.
"You didn't? Why?" She asked. Inuyasha looked at the lake.
"I came to check up on you." His voice trailed off. "I wanted to see if you were alright." Kagome giggled.
"Yeah I'm fine for now." Kagome reassured. "Common, let's go back. Who knows what Miroku's up to? He has Sango all to himself at the moment…" Kagome said. Inuyasha smirked. Then turned serious.
"Oh no! I left her with that pervert?!" Inuyasha yelled. "I'm so stupid!"
"Relax Inuyasha, Shippo's there too!" Inuyasha started shivering.
"Uh…No he's not." Inuyasha said. Kagome looked dead serious.
"He's not?" She asked.
"Nope." Inuyasha said and pointed to the tree behind him. In seconds both Kirara and Shippo came out of the forest.
"Great going Inuyasha, now I'm going to get in trouble." Shippo complained.
"Shut up kid!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome growled.
"Inuyasha…" Inuyasha looked at her, he clenched his teeth.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Sit!" Inuyasha's face smashed into the ground, and all you could see was a 5 foot whole in the shape of a hanyou. Inuyasha breathed.
"At least Sango doesn't sit me…" He yelled.
"Sit!" Inuyasha went in for another 5 feet. Kagome turned around angry.
'Now it's the monks turn…' She thought before setting off to give that monk a beating.

Ok, that chapter is complete. I think I wrote about 3 copies of that chapter. I couldn't decide which one to post up. I think I know how I'm going to end this story off, but im still plotting. You see, I had this whole story under control but until all my reviewers kept telling me to update and sent me ideas of more to the story, I didn't want to end it the way I had wanted to before. I'm actually glad, because without you guys I would have never got more experience in writing. Also, if you have any awesome ideas please send them to me. I don't care what they are send them to me, and I might be able to use them. It would be such a great help! I already have one idea I'm working on which is Ms. Hotari-chan. Which I thank a lot! Very sweet idea and I love it. So come on, come on send me ideas lol.
About this chapter: I am doing a little introduction to this chapter. I haven't described this story with Kagome's feelings, except for when she bitched off at Sango, so this chapter was her realizing her mistakes...I would love to make some chapters where I get to describe Miroku too. It would be really great. I haven't talked about him at all, and some people are probably wondering if Miroku still does have intimate feelings for Sango. I said in the 2nd chapter that he told Inuyasha he doesn't really know…but he could have been lying –gasp- That's right my pretties! Lol. Ok, I'll be setting off and signing off now, but please send me ideas by my email. Not review. But review Lmao.
By the way…65 reviews?! You're kidding me right? I thought this story would get at least 30 something. I am so happy. Thank you all soooo much.
