CHAPTER 10: THE KING IS DEAD
Inuyasha is in a dusty area, coughs, "Dad!" he call echoes hoping he can get his response. He hears a rattling sound. It was just a stray demon, running on its own. As it faded into the dust, Inuyasha spots a figure. Taking a closer look, Inuyasha's eyes widen, "No…" he whispers as he runs to the figure. He sees his dad laying on the ground. "Inuyasha's eyes begin to fill with tears. "dad, you need to get up." He pleas, but nothing. "We have to go home." He pleas again, but still nothing. He tugs his arms trying to get him home. "HELP!" he scream as the echoes go throughout the ravine. "SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!" He begins to cry, he has been told that men don't cry. But he cried. "Dad, I'm so sorry." Inuyasha said as he lays by his dad's body.
Onigumo comes through the dust. "What happened, Inuyasha?" Onigumo asks. Inuyasha jumps a little, "There were demons and he tried to save. It was accident. I didn't mean it to happen." He sobs. Onigumo holds his shoulder softly. "I know it wasn't your fault. He did save you, but he didn't know that he was going to be killed in the process. If this didn't happen, he'd still be alive." Inuyasha looks back to him, "What will your mother think?" Inuyasha sniffles, "What am I going to do?" Onigumo let's his arm come off, "It's best for you to run away, and never return." With no arguments, Inuyasha runs deeper into the ravine.
Onigumo transforms into his true form, as his servants approach behind, "Kill him." The three go after Inuyasha. Inuyasha comes to a dead end. He turns around seeing the three that he protected Kagome from in the Eastern Lands. Inuyasha runs up as fast as he can up the walls. Kagura, Kanna, and Hakudoshi are riding her feather. "Dance of Blades" Kagura shouts are blades of winds missed Inuyasha. He sees an opening in the wall just for him to get through. "Stop, Kagura." Hakudoshi said as they approach the small opening. "If we go in there, there's no way in hell, Inuyasha will come back." Kagura nodded, "Remember this Inuyasha; if you ever come back, we'll kill ya." As they leave to get back to the castle.
That night back at the castle, Onigumo gives the tragic to Izayoi, and is deeply so ashamed of what happened, "Since there's no more male relatives in the family, what are you going to do?" Izayoi weeps for the lost her husband and son. "I'm afraid that I have great experience of the royal ways, my lady." Onigumo said putting his hand on her shoulder. "Well there's sense of arguing, I guess I have to make you the king of the Western Lands." Izayoi said. 'Exactly' Onigumo grins. Izayoi leads him to the thrown room.
Meanwhile Kagome follows them, "Something's not right with this guy." She quietly said to herself. "I've got to go find help." She sneaks out the back of the castle, and runs away. "Kagome." A voice said. She turns around and sees her mother. "Kagome, I know well. Just be careful." She said giving her a hug. "And I believe that Inuyasha is alive. Go find him." She added. Kagome cries a little but ends it. "I will, mom. I promise." Kagome runs off.
Totosai is in hut, it was the middle of the night. Still depress of his master. He goes to the wall where the picture of Inuyasha and smurgs it, making it hard to see now. "Inuyasha, Master Inutaishou. Rest in Piece." He walks away from it.
