Hey guys I'm back with another author's note for Red Roses, I understand that the first chapter doesn't make much sence, but thank you for pointing out some pointers FMAnimeFreakFanGirl! I shall make this one better and I hope I did! And I would like to thank PerverseLeigh for helping too.
Miroku: No…you didn't
Me: SHUSH they don't know unless they find out
Kagome: I'm not too sure they liked the last one…
Me: You guys are breaking my heart!
Miroku&Kagome: Too Bad
Me:….I hate you two….
Death is not one to play with, Death is always tricky, but never avoided. Karma is going to catch up with you…Karma, Karma will ALWAYS win…under no circumstances will Karma never catch up, because, it always does.
Kagome and Miroku walked up onto Kaede's village, she was nervous out of her mind. Was she really going to leave InuYasha? She had fights with him all the time, but she NEVER thought of leaving InuYasha and to move on with her life! She was fed up with his ways once and for all.
"Kagome?" She looks so lost in her thoughts, could it be what she is doing with InuYasha bothering her, the thought of leaving him? She looks as if she doesn't want to.
"
Hm?" she smiled the smile Miroku always thought was kind and warm-hearted.
She seems so concerned but she is still Kagome that I know, only hurt and…well…leaving. "
Kagome, what are you going to do if the idea about the enchantment wont work? I mean there may be demons here, but there is no one who can enchant you to be 'pretend' dead, its just not possible…well, I think…"
Does he not care? Of course I've though of an argument. The argument that if he loves me like he says he does…then why did he take back the mate mark!
"Yeah, of course I have, but there is going to be an enchantment! I just know it. This world has priestess' dark priestess' anyone of them can do it!" I think.
"Kagome, maybe you should think about this…maybe reason with InuYasha…He can be hard headed sometimes…maybe even stubborn-no he is stubborn- but that's besides the point. Are you willing to leave Sango and Shippo? They like you a lot, and you like them too…"
"Miroku. Why is this so important that you want me to reason. Out of all people YOU I thought would understand!"
"Kagome! I understand, but I don't want you to leave! No matter what I do, you are still there. Your still my friend, you're the kindest friend I've ever had!"
"Miroku…I'm going to leave! I'm going to miss you…but this is better"
Miroku and Kagome walked into Kaede's village and they stopped talking and she wiped away any evidence that she was crying. She saw Shippo running up to her, Miroku was right, Shippo and Sango are her very best friends…Shippo is like a kid to her. She would regret leaving Shippo and Sango…but everyone else would have to leave her mind. Miroku and his letcher ways. InuYasha and…
"KKAAAGOOMMMEEE!" Shippo jumped in the air towards Kagome like he always had. "Kagome! Where did you run to! I tried following you but it didn't work! You just ran and ran that was too fast for me…and that's new because I'm a fox demon!" He ran after me? I didn't know…I wish I could take shippo with me so much!
"Shippo, I'm sorry I left! I was just upset" Miroku looked over at her and saw she was about ready to cry once again. He had to stop her before she did.
"Kagome, *cough* Maybe we should…go find Sango and Lady Kaede, and uhm, tell them your news…"
"Don't forget InuYasha!" Shippo exclaimed
"Kagome needs to tell you three something before she tells InuYasha. She needs a reasonable answer…Kaede would be the best to talk to since she is the eldest and the priestess. She would know the best idea."
"Miroku would Kaede really be the best person to talk to can't I just talk to Shippo and Sango then InuYasha…"
"Kagome, talk about what?" Shippo had no idea what Kagome was up to.
I wish I didn't have to leave Shippo and Sango…but this is the best for me!
"Let's go Miroku, Shippo, let's find Kaede and then we'll talk."
"Okay…I still don't know what's going on…"
"It's okay Shippo…you'll know soon enough."
They walked over to Kaede and Sango was talking about her looking worried. Kaede spotted Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo. She pointed at them and Sango turned around, almost too fast that she would have fallen if she wasn't such a well trained demon hunter who could stand anything without falling.
"MIROKU! YOU FOUND HER!"
"Uh, was I supposed to be looking for her?"
Seriously…my running off got them worried…wait was he looking for me or was he just…I don't know what he was doing…but that baka has a lot to explain…but…so do I .
"Kagome has some thing to tell us Sango!" Shippo always fixed a bad situation somehow, but he wasn't going to be able to handle it when she left him.
"Shippo, what are you talking about? I'm confused…but by the looks of her eyes. It has to do with InuYasha"
"Oh Sango, that's why you are perfect…" Miroku walked beside her and smiled. Sango's eyes widened and she froze for a second. "Miroku…."
"yes, sango?" As soon as he finished talking Sango slapped him "I DON'T WANT YOU TOUCHING MY BUTT AT ANYTIME YOU LETCHER! YOU…YOU…WOMANIZER!"
"Sango please let's not argue right now! I want-need- to tell you guys something very important! But, you can't be fighting right now!"
"Okay, for your sake Kagome because I have no idea what your planning, but by the way it sounds it must be important."
"It is Sango and thank you. You always understand" Kagome walked forward pulling Miroku in front of her while Shippo sat on her shoulder like he always did. They walked up to Kaede and she bowed her head, not wanting to look at her.
"What would be the matter, Kagome." Miroku saw that she didn't want to say anything, and he didn't want to talk about out in the open just incase InuYasha was near, he didn't want to risk it.
"Lady Kaede, it would be best if we talk in...private…" He put a hand on Kaede's shoulder and she smacked it away.
"Ye be not touching me anyday Monk." Miroku rubbed his hand and looked at Sango for help
"Kaede, will you talk to us in private…please. This is very important" Kaede turned her head towards Kagome and she sighed and turn around.
"Ye shall follow me"
They walked up to a village house and Kaede sat on the ground, quietly and gently. Sango, Miroku, and Kagome sat down too while Shippo remained on Kagome's shoulder.
"What be ye problem that is so bad, ye need to talk in private?" she looked at them all with her only good eye, the one not covered by the eye patch.
"Now that Sango and Shippo are here, I will speak for Kagome…if that's alright with you, Kagome."
"Yeah…" Her voice was once caught off again and she didn't know what to say, thankfully Miroku did!
"hn" was all that Kaede had done and she payed attention.
"Kagome is thinking about leaving…not like normal if that's what your thinking. She is le-" Miroku was cut off by Keade.
"Ye be leaving for how long. InuYasha will be upset that ye left without him knowing."
"Like I was saying…Kagome will be leaving not a certain amount of time…but, we don't know how long…"
"Kagome….what does Miroku mean? When will you come back?" Shippo spoke quietly and confused. He didn't know what to do without Kagome.
"Shippo…I…I'm not coming back."
"Kagome! You can't leave!" She looked at Shippo and he was starting to cry.
"Shippo is right Kagome…you're my best friend I don't want you to leave!" Sango was getting upset, she was on her hands leaning forward with a crease on her forehead. She wanted her to stay or at least go with her, but she knew she couldn't.
"Sango and Shippo ye can't be too sad, if Kagome wants to go back to her time ye cannot stop her."
"Lady Kaede is right. Kagome can go back whenever, but she chooses if she wants to say or if she wants to go."
"But Miroku, if Kagome leaves! Then….then…." she started crying "Then not only will I lose someone dear to me, but I will not be able to find Kohaku! So, not only do I lose Kagome, but I wont see Kohaku ever…."she sobbed hard. Sango…there is no fill for leaving you, Shippo, Miroku, and Kaede.
"KAGOME! ARE YOU LISTENING TO KAEDE!"
"Huh? Oh, I'm so sorry, I was thinking…"
"I had said, When will ye be leaving us and how do ye plan to get away from InuYasha."
"I'm going to try to have Miroku do an enchantment on me or maybe you…OR we can find a dark priestess.."
"Ye will not be playing with any dark priestess. It's too dangerous."
"But, I have to do something! I can't live this life anymore…InuYasha will never trust me…he will never love me!"
"Will ye shut up and listen!" Kaede shown a aura that Kagome has never seen before, she didn't know what she did… oh, that's right…I do know what I did. I made her mad, but not on purpose…
"Sorry Kaede…"
"Tis alright child. Why do ye think InuYasha doesn't love you? InuYasha can do a lot, but he does show some feelings for you Kagome…there is no possible way Miroku can cast that kind of enchantment. Ye may have to do what ye always do…now why do ye want to leave. Tell me the story." Kagome just bowed her head and spoke.
"He took back my mate mark…and then, he disappeared one night and I tried following him but it was so dark that night I couldn't see…so I went back to where we were. When I got back, Miroku was gone, I thought he went to the bathroom so I went back to sleep…and Sango and Shippo were sleeping. So I thought nothing of it."
SHE KNOWS HE LEFT THAT NIGHT! Oh I'm going to be in SO much trouble when I tell her where I went…but its not fair for her not to know.
"Uhm, Kagome I have to tell you something about that night…"
"You weren't really going to the bathroom were you Miroku? I KNOW YOUR PART OF THE MYSTERY!" Sango spoke angrily, Kagome couldn't tell if it was her fault, or the fact that Miroku disappears a lot in the trips.
"Huh? Sango what are you talking about?" She's going to kill him…and then I won't be able to get…maybe what Kaede is saying, is that there is no enchantment that will work!
"YOU WERE WOMANIZING AGAIN! YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF FOR ONE MINUTE!"
"Now wait a minute Sango I can explain what I was doing! It actually goes along with Kagome's story!"
"I GET IT NOW!" Kagome spat out. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy and confused, all except Kaede that is. Kaede smiled at her knowing she just understood what Kaede was saying.
"I'm lost someone explain to me what is going on! I don't want Kagome to leave! Kagome please don't go!" Shippo who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the room finally spoke.
"I know what Kaede was saying! There is no enchantment that can make me look like I have died…so when Miroku tells InuYasha to throw me back…that idea is out. So, I just fight with InuYasha and-" She was cut off by such a familiar voice. It was calm in any situation. Miroku was speaking to her, and she would listen to him.
"Kagome, what I was going to say before Sango had started yelling is that when InuYasha had left and what you explained I can add my part to that story. I wasn't sleeping I was having trouble sleeping that night and I saw InuYasha look up towards the woods and then look at Kagome, he stood up and kept his sword and he walked to the forest and I followed him. Since InuYasha walked I was sure to make my distance and then I decided to use an ancient enchantment to mask my scent and myself. I walked to where he was going and saw that he had sensed Kikyo…that's what I thought. So I had pried a little more and sat at the bottom of the bush by a tree…I wished I hadn't seen what had happened."
~Flashback~
Where is InuYasha going? This isn't like him…well, not to wander this far from Kagome.
Miroku had walked up to a bush next to a tree and he sat on his knees. This is really strange. Something isn't right…this aura…
InuYasha looked around smirking making sure no one was watching him.
"We're in the clear Kikyo…you can come out now!" KIKYO! INUYASHA IS COMING HERE TO SEE KIKYO! Why is he doing this to Kagome…they call me the Letcher
"InuYasha…"
"Kikyo…" Once the two had seen each other they both smiled and as soon as InuYasha had said her name she ran into her arms like Kagome had never existed, like the feud between them caused by Niraku. Miroku studied them a little more and listened to them
"I shouldn't be seeing you, Kikyo…but I miss you."
"InuYasha you seem different.."
"I know, I had mated with Kagome, she has my mate mark…"
"INUYASHA!"
"Shhh….Kikyo…they'll find us! I messed up you and me Kikyo I'm sorry…I had to let you know. But I don't want to lose you again Kikyo. I lost you once and I wont lose you again!"
Why is InuYasha saying this, Kikyo doesn't like Kagome…she wants Kagome to die…
"InuYasha, if you want me that much…then take back the mark! Take it back and be with me InuYasha! InuYasha…I love you."
He is leaving Kagome? This isn't too good….I better head back so he sees me sleeping and won't suspect anything.
~End Flashback~
Miroku had explained everything he saw that night and what he thought. He waited for Kagome or anyone to speak…her head was down. Sango, Shippo and Lady Kaede were staring at Kagome.
"So…InuYasha. He took it back because he wants Kikyo…" her voice was quiet, she sounded hurt. She didn't just sound it…she was hurt. InuYasha had finally crossed the line with her. She couldn't handle the pain. I know now what my fight is going to be about…
Kagome stood up and walked out the village house and outside. Shippo looked at Sango then at Kaede and finally he looked at Miroku. Miroku sighed then took in a breath.
"I know what their fight is going to be about now…she's not going to go nice this time…just telling by the aura of her anger and sadness" Miroku stood up and started to walk outside. "You guys coming? I don't wanna miss this fight for the world, maybe after the night we can say goodbye before Kagome leaves for good."
"I guess. I mean, InuYasha kind of deserves this. It's basically cheating! Any fight between them is a good fight anyways" Sango stood up and walked out the door in front of Miroku. "don't touch my butt Miroku"
"I wasn't going to do that! You always assume the worst" He followed Sango out and Shippo had jumped on his shoulder.
"InuYasha is in for it!" shippo chirped.
"Aye, and he will never forget this fight…maybe the heartbreak." Kaede stood up and slowly followed the monk and the fox demon out of the village house and saw Kagome looking back and forth in the trees, on the ground, but she couldn't find him. Until…
I am tired of this…I bet you he is with Kikyo again! I'm tired of him messing with me, making me love him, give me a mate mark AND THEN TAKE IT BACK!
"INUYASHA! INUYASHA!" Sango and Shippo were hiding behind Miroku, he didn't realize it until Kaede smiled and walked to a different spot. InuYasha was in the village at the spot where he and Kagome had faught because they had gotten into a fight with a demon the day before and he was hurt, she thought he needed help but he was already healed. INUYASHA! INUYASHA! Damn…
He knew who that voice belong to and he wasn't ready to face her yet and have a fight but, he didn't want to lose Kikyo again. He knew what to do and he had already done it. Why the hell can't she just leave…I'm with Kikyo now! I had always loved Kikyo…I only liked Kagome because she smelled like Kikyo and looked like her, but she was kind hearted and had warm eyes. INUYASHA! INUYASHA! I'm coming wench! Damn her, she is a pain!
"Look there is InuYasha! Kagome he is coming!" Shippo was pointing and jumping up and down. Miroku, Sango and Kaede just stared at him. Kagome was just too fixed on InuYasha.
" I see him!" The baka having that kind of mind to do this to me! I know why he did it now and I won't leave easily!
"Hey Kagome…I was just looking for you!" He is lying, I can tell by the way he is scratching his head
"Yeah, I'm sure you were…tell me, where were you exactly?"
"I was…uh…"
"Go on…"
"What are getting to Kagome!"
"WHY DID YOU TAKE MY MARK INUYASHA!"
"What the hell! DID YOU EVER THINK I DON'T WANT TO BE BOUND TO YOU! IM NO MIROKU BUT I DO HAVE MY REASONS!"
"AND WHAT WOULD THAT BE! SLEEPING AROUND WITH KIKYO!" InuYasha just froze still, he looked at her with a blank expression. He didn't know what to say but was thinking quickly. "I knew it! YOUR NOTHING BUT A LIER! A GOOD LOW DOWN FILTHY MUTT"
"I AM NOT A MUTT"
"YOU ARE! YOU'RE A MUTT BECAUSE YOU'RE A HALF DEMON! WHATS A MUTT IT'S A MIX OF THINGS YOUR NOT AS STRONG AS ANYONE! WHEN I WANTED YOU IF I WAS SMARTER I WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH KOGA!"
"KOGA! KAGOME YOU KNOW YOU WERE BETTER OFF WITH ME!"
"SO IS KIKYO BETTER THAN ME! IS THAT WHY YOU TOOK MY MARK AWAY!"
"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!"
"IT MEANS….SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" Every time Kagome had 'sit' InuYasha he went deeper into the ground. He stayed there for a few minutes in pain and Kagome waited for him to get up.
"Wow…InuYasha has never been sat that much! That's got to hurt!" Miroku had said.
"Keep womanizing and I'll have Kaede give you some beads too so I can 'sit' you!"
"Uhm…No thank you!" Miroku spoke fastly as InuYasha sat up. He struggled to stand and he slowly got up and saw Kagome's shoes and he knew he was still going to get yelled at.
"Kagome…why…why are you…doing this?"
"Because I am mad InuYasha! I'm through going with heartache with you! You always cause me pain! The only time I ever felt good around you is whenever you came to help me…when you acted like you cared!" She was speaking the truth by now…this was no longer a show to leave him, she was going to leave him, but the truth came out with her words.
What is she talking about…I'm not hurting her am I? I guess taking back the mark did bring some hurt…and choosing Kikyo…but I…
"Kagome…listen to me"
"No you listen to me Damn wench!" he was mad but he was going to end the love between them that they had shared.
"NO INUYASHA! YOU LISTEN TO ME! If you want Kikyo that's all fine with me! BUT THAT MEANS I AM LEAVING! Not for certain amount of time…NO I'm leaving for good!"
InuYasha looked shocked. He didn't know what to think, what to say. She was really leaving this time. Kagome had tears in her eyes, she didn't want to go, she didn't want to leave him. She wanted to continue to love InuYasha. But she couldn't and she knew this. She had to leave because he didn't love her the way she loved him…
"Kagome…."
"INUYASHA DON'T! I ACTUALLY LOVED YOU! DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT! WHEN YOU GAVE ME THE MATE MARK I WAS HAPPY! THE HAPPIEST I'VE EVER BEEN…and now knowing you want Kikyo I have only one option to do…For me to move on! I am leaving InuYasha and you and your Kikyo can be together! Because I'm not doing this anymore! It was her then me then BOTH OF US then me THEN HER! I am not doing this InuYasha! YOU ARE A LOW DOWN FILTHY IDIOT WHO CAN'T CHOSE ONE GIRL! HE HAD TO HAVE BOTH! I LOVED YOU…BUT NOW….What I think, is that you…yeah you DISGUST me!"
"Miroku this is it…kagome is leaving for good…"
"yeah…she is gone…from us…just like that."
"Poor InuYasha"
"Aye, InuYasha is getting what he deserves…he is only has two choices now. If he loves Kagome that much as he always went to find her…or he can stay here and let her go and be with Kikyo…she isn't even alive so he can't have much of a future…it's his call"
"KAGOME! If I disgust you so much then why did you stay! WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE! You NEED me Kagome! You ALWAYS come back to me! So no matter what I do who I chose, you wont ever forget about me you WENCH!"
"INUYASHA…."
"If this is it, THEN DON'T EVEN BOTHER SITTING ME! BECAUSE YOU CAN LEAVE! HELL, I'LL THROW YOU THERE!"
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! InuYasha! If you EVER come to find me! I will just KILL you! With any weapon I have! You are worse than Miroku! AT LEAST HE DOESN'T LEAD GIRLS ON!" InuYasha had his face in the ground and he was in pain, MAJOR PAIN.
"If any of you want to see me leave and say goodbye…then come with me, if not…stay"
"I know I'm going!" Shippo ran towards Kagome,
"That counts for me too! I'm not going to be here when InuYasha gets up!" Miroku ran after Shippo and Kagome.
"Hey guys! Kagome! Miroku! Shippo!" Sango ran after them…
"GOODBYE KAGOME! YE BE CAREFUL IN YOUR WORLD"
"goodbye Kaede!"
Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo walked to the well, it wasn't a far walk and Kagome knew her way well and when she got there she looked down it and traced her fingers across the wood that would become old in 500 years. She felt sadness as did all of them, Kagome was leaving forever…and they knew a goodbye was not enough but all that they could have.
"Kagome…" Shippo jumped off of Miroku and walked over to Kagome and stopped behind her. "Kagome…" Kagome slowly turned around and sat on her knees to look at Shippo.
"Shippo, I have to leave…I don't belong here and…I don't belong with InuYasha. I can tell that now!" she started crying and pulled shippo up into a hug. "Shippo, lets Sango help you be raised I can't help anymore. Watch out for Miroku and Sango…protect them when needed…I will always remember you Shippo.." she kissed his head and set him back down and Sango walked over to Kagome. Miroku had a thinking look on his face.
"Sango." She hugged Sango tightly, she was leaving her best friend and didn't know how to tell her goodbye.
"It's okay Kagome, I know." Sango hugged Kagome just as tight. "I'll miss you too"
"That's good I don't have to tell you anything much except I will always miss you" She giggled and a tear fell down her face. They let go of each other and Kagome wiped the tears away and looked at Miroku.
"You can hug me if you don't touch my butt…you do that and I'll have Sango slap you…" Sango smiled at Kagome's joke, while Shippo sat there quietly crying.
"Kagome…don't find another guy like InuYasha, find someone better! Also be safe…" she smiled and had to hug him…normally he would only talk to girls he just met like this but this was different. She was leaving all of them, and he was saying goodbye…
"Bye Miroku." he let her go and she sat down on the side of the well taking a good look at the people she had met, traveled with, learned to love them and had been very close to.
"Good bye Kagome…we will miss you" sango had said as shippo stood up.
"Bye Kagome…"
"Be safe"
Kagome Nodded and she pushed herself off the side of the well and was traveling back to her time, she dropped in on her world like she always did and she got out of the well and stood out side of it touching the same spot she had 500 years before her time…it was old and worn down by now. She walked out of the temple and she looked at her house and all around, it was a rainy day, perfect for what she was going through.
"That's that then…No more feudal era…no more Sango, Miroku, Kaede or even Shippo…Oh shippo, I wish I could of taken him with me. Sango too." she sighed and walked to her house…tomorrow was a new day.
