Chapter three:
They laid Kagome to rest deep within the forest of Inuyasha. The funeral was kept small and simple, Miroku did the service or at least he tried too. It's not easy putting your closest friend in the ground. Kagome was like a sister to Miroku, just like she was with Sango.
The funeral was hard for everyone, because everyone loved her. It was especially hard on four people; Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and of course Kaede. They were all in tears along with the rest of the village
Inuyasha wanted to have the funeral differently, he wanted to lay her down himself. That way he could cry for the loss of his love, after all real men don't cry right? Or at least they don't in front of anybody. When Kagome passed away in his arms, the tears fell for hours with no sign of stopping.
He would have been a little happier if he could have done it his way, but he knew that she was loved by everyone and that everyone would like to say their goodbyes as well. So he put up with it for them.
As they lowered her into the ground, Inuyasha turned and walked away. Miroku noticed this and started off after him, just then something caught his eye. Appearing off on a hillside stood a woman with long black hair, dressed in miko clothing, she was holding something. From what Miroku could tell it looked like a gem of some sort. Miroku blinked a couple of times than looked again, she was gone.
Miroku shook his head in disbelieve, not knowing what to think he started following Inuyasha once more. He didn't exactly know how he was going to help his friend, but he was sure going to give it all he had.
Sitting on a branch of the Sacred tree was where Miroku found Inuyasha. Miroku smirked, quietly he went under the tree branch and sat down. He knew that Inuyasha would open up when he was ready, and no matter what he was going to be there for his friend regardless of how long it took for Inuyasha to speak.
Inuyasha's mind was racing, and his heart was shattered.
Miroku stayed silent, it felt like hours till Inuyasha finally spoke, and said "Why now?" in a voice barely above a whisper. Miroku didn't say anything for a moment, he tried his best to understand what his friend must have been feeling. He's lost a lot of people that he loved in the past, but never someone like a spouse. Miroku couldn't imagine what it would be like if he did lose Sango.
Slowly he stood up and walked to where Inuyasha could see him. Inuyasha didn't look at him though, he just kept staring into space. Miroku finally spoke just then.
"You know Inuyasha, Kagome probably would have asked the same things if it was you that died." He pointed out to his hurting friend.
Inuyasha didn't say anything for the longest time, Miroku finally went to a near by boulder and sat down upon it.
When Inuyasha did speak he looked over at Miroku this time, and Miroku could see the hurt and suffering behind his eyes.
"Miroku, just go away...I don't feel like talking any more...about this" Inuyasha's voice was low and cold as ice.
Miroku stood back up, brushed off his robes,nodded and replied "As you wish my friend, when you do feel like talking you know we are always there." With that Miroku left, leaving Inuyasha alone.
'There's no point in pushing him to talk, it would only anger him and that wouldn't be good, not now.' Miroku thought as he was walking away and back into the village.
As the sun began to set for the day's end, and the starts appeared in the sky announcing the night. The villagers slowly made their way back to their houses. As for Inuyasha though he remained in the Sacred tree, he never moved, not once.
It was here in the Sacred tree that he felt close to her, to his beloved. Here is where they meant all those years ago, when he was still bound to the tree by Kikyo's arrow. 'Who would of thought love could grow so strong' Inuyasha thought as he was looking back into the past. Tears rolling down his face.
If Inuyasha would have been more aware, he would have noticed the demonic aura at his loves grave. At the grave stood a strange figure, holding what belonged to him. Though you would never know, for the grave looked untouched.
The figure looked to be like a miko, but it was only a disguise. The figure was a woman, a demon that lived for the heartache and suffering of others.
With an evil grin painted on her face, she said "So you and that half demon are the great ones that destroyed Naraku and the jewel of four souls? Hmmm...Well not this time, for your beloved Inuyasha, thinks your dead. My plan worked perfectly." Looking down at the girl she continued. "I do believe that I will enjoy the pain and suffering, the both of you will give off. For it will make me, Hezaa strong enough to rid the world of both of you. Then I will be the famous one."
Hezaa gave off an evil chuckle, "I've watched the both of you for a long time now, and I know your husband's suffering will be great without you. Because without you, what else does he have?"
She started to walk off into the night with Kagome in her arms, "Now let's get your soul and body back together so that I may feed off of your suffering as well. I'll bet it will taste sweet."
Kagome slowly woke up in a cellar, deep within the underground.
'What is this place? I was dead...why am I here? What is going on?' Kagome thought as she looked around the room, trying to identify it.
Kagome tried to get up but something was stopping her, looking down she saw that her wrists were chained loosely to the wall. Kagome was scared beyond believe, after all she did die right? She could remember dying in his arms, Inuyasha's arms.
Tears slowly came to her eyes, she brought her hands up to her face and cried.
"So I see you are awake" said a strange voice, surprising Kagome. The voice was almost as cold as ice.
"Who are you? What have you done?" Kagome demanded "I died, I know I died. What did you do to me?" Kagome concluded, allowing her voice to only become louder and louder as her anger rose.
"My name is Hezaa, and you will know shortly enough Kagome, but first here is some food. After all you have not eaten in weeks." Hezaa finished as she placed the food where Kagome could reach.
She then left not saying a word more.
