Chapter 11
Caught up in the rush of that charge, Kagome hadn't realised what she had done. She had
never destroyed a demon being that up close before. She fell to knees, and she realised the implications.
"What...What have I done?" She fell back, realising what she did. Sure she's destroyed demons in the past. Though all off them was at range with a bow and arrows. A lot different than up close. Death is completely different up when you can feel them breathe. Human or demon.
Inutashio returned to Kagome after the fight. "I see you defeated the two of them".
"Are you injured?" Inutashio asked.
"No," Kagome answered, sounding depressed, "Not anything serious".
"Is there something wrong?" Inutashio asked, "You sound depressed".
"I just haven't killed any demon up close like that before," Kagome replied, "I didn't realise..." See stopped right there, and did not say anything further. Inutashio tried to pry into it a little further. But Kagome quickly shut him out. Soon he decided to leave that for Inuyasha to fix. Seeing as he's likely the only one who could do anything about it.
"Kagome," Inutashio stated, "Let's get going".
"Back to the Elfwine and his troops," Kagome asked.
"Not at first," Inutashio replied.
"Not at first?" Kagome questioned, "What you are you planning? We don't know anyone else here, or where we are at".
"How about I show you, get on," Inutashio stated, he then transformed into his dog form, and motioned her to get on. When she climbed on, he ran off into the distance. She soon seen the edge of a forest, and Inutashio stopped, allowed Kagome to get off, and transformed back into his human form.
"What are we waiting for?" Kagome asked a little confused. There was no people, villages or even lone buildings in the sight. All she could see was land and a forest.
"Just wait," Inutashio replied, "It's coming to us".
Kagome then noticed something about the forest, it was turning black. "Hey, look at the forest. It's turning black!"
"Many small creatures," Inutashio answered, "I don't sense any demonic nature about them. I think that they're spiders".
"Why are they..., eep," Kagome said before something red landed right in front of her. She took a step back startled. And then she realised what it was. Or rather who it was...
Inuyasha.
"Inu...yasha," Kagome stuttered, see a girl in the same uniform that she was wearing, get off of his back seconds after he landed. Though she fell to the ground not being able to walk properly. He then did something that surprised her. He drew his sword, and stood against her and Inutashio. "Inuyasha, what are you doing?" He lifted the sword, and Kagome clearly seen that he had no where near enough energy to lift the sword let alone fight.
"Kagome, what are you do..., who are you with...," Inuyasha stuttered, "Are you... betraying me? "
"Inuyasha I wouldn't betray you," Kagome replied, "This is your father". Inuyasha fell over unconscious before Kagome finished what she was saying. Kagome rushed to his side, grabbed the sword, and realised who the girl was.
"Kagome?"
"Ayumi, is that you?"
"Yeah," she answered, "Who's he?"
"He's Inuyasha's father," Kagome answered, "We need to tend to Inuyasha first".
"All he needs is some rest," Inutashio stated, "We have more pressing matters, if we leave now, we might be able to escape the spiders without fighting or even being chased. They still seem to be looking for you two. Get Inuyasha onto my back, climb on, and lets go".
Kagome and Ayumi picked up Inuyasha and his sword, and tried their best to carry him onto the back of the one who just transformed into a dog. One girl climbed on front of Inuyasha, and the other behind him, making sure that he didn't fall off. While his father ran at high speed.
"I see you made friends in the short period of time you left," Elfwine said, once Kagome and company returned, "Where's Inutashio, and what are you riding".
"I'm Inutashio" .
"What the...," Elfwine said, not finishing his comment.
"I'm in my dog form," Inutashio answered, answered his unasked question, "My son he needs rest".
"Edoras is not to far off," Elfwine said, "He can rest there".
"Thank you".
He woke up.
He woke up, in unfamiliar territory.
Yet again.
He looked around, and was on something like the beds that were in Kagome's era. He noticed that he was alone. Save for one person, Kagome. And she was in clothing that was completely foreign to him. And then he remembered, who was she with.
Kagome..., did you betray me?
If you did..., I do not blame you. Not after what I did to you before we got into this mess.
But you are laying there on top of the bed, asleep. And I'm still alive. What's going?
Who was that demon?
Where is Ayumi?
Finally, some good news. The Tetseiga is right there against the wall.
Maybe I should look around before anyone realises that I'm not sleeping.
Inuyasha moved to get out of the bed. But it woke Kagome up.
"Inuyasha, you finally woke up," Kagome said.
"What of it?" Inuyasha challenged.
" What of it?" Kagome repeated, "What do you think? I haven't left your side the entire time you've been unconscious".
"Who is the demon that was with you," Inuyasha demanded, "Where is Ayumi?"
"Inuyasha, no one had betrayed you," Kagome stated, "You should know that demon, though he had just been reborn, and known your mother rather well. He is your father".
"And how do you know that he's my father?" Inuyasha questioned, "How do you know that he is not lying?"
"You remember what happened to the Sounga right?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah," Inuyasha answered, "It went to hell, back to father".
"He has the Sounga," Kagome replied.
Inuyasha didn't know what to say. At the moment he didn't know if he could trust her. That was until he looked into her eyes. She was pleading for him to believe her. And she was getting more desperate every second. She looked like she was about to break down if he didn't say anything soon.
The look she gave him..., it looked and was completely genuine. And Inuyasha gave in to it, if it was a trap. Inuyasha at that moment would gladly walk into it.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said still looking into her eyes, "I believe you".
Kagome broke down after that, leaped in Inuyasha's shoulder.
"You had me worrying for a moment there, Inuyasha".
"Kagome..., we need to talk," Inuyasha said, "About the night before that last fight with Naraku".
