A Little Too Late
~ Chapter Nineteen~
Secrets Hidden Within Shadowing Mysts
By Inuyashas Youkai
Stilled , frozen in somewhat disturbingly amused disbelief at the sight Kagome had just not only spoken , but shown not long ago , still the hanyou couldn't yet convince his brain of the fact to prove what his eyes saw. Shaking his head to clear it , then searching for the presence he was searching for , and seeing that her small part yet remained closeby , even though feeling his mate was more than slightly annoyed, thus made him smile for the reason she hadn't disapeared . Soon finding that where she had lead him was not far from where they once stood but closer to the rest of their pack, but before Inuyasha made his approach , it was them that made up his pack , along with his brother that had interupted .
"Lil brother , I think until I can assure that it is safe for us to re-enter the house we need to seek elsewhere .."
"Agreed .."
Without further explainations , both brother's wordlessly lead the others, with the strict overpowering , and demanding presence, towards the now running vehicle nearby driven by a short , oddly stubby looking male , one that it was merely a wonder that the pedals could be reached with his short stature , even with a familiar sight of a creepy two headed staff assisting him. Filing into the van , one by one , everyone was piling in to find their seats within , and of course Kagome being more stubborn than she normally was ,proven by the outward showing of her flauting herself taking a shit to tell him that she didn't believe him, decided to sit in the way back , instead of sitting close to the one who wasn't backing down from his chosen status naming him a mate .
A voice next to her brought her out of her thoughtless pondering once the vehicle started to go in efforts to drowned herself within the coming blur caused by the speed taken by the desire for now to escape from the area. The voice brought on faded images , more so lingering trails within her mind only hinting as to whom the voice was speaking besides her , but without having the ability anymore to sence the presence it wasn't certain to say her guess was correct , though one name spilled hestitantly from her lips in a fleeting whisper. Overwhelmed with a shadowing unexpected foreign emergence of something unknown, and successfully growing with the quickly passing colors within her induced haze.
"Sango.."
"I only recently discovered I once held that name , and the memories belonging with it . It wasn't until while unknowingly working with the male that at one time carried the name Miroku, and had went with others who like us was demanded by the request of Sesshomeru , in the efforts of going to the place where your shrine once stood with the well that carried you to our time in the feudal era , back when we had all thought you had died, to find out what was found to be destroyed was true."
" It is unfortunate to hear such memories were returned to you , and didn't remain forgotten, as it had I with my I cannot feel what you feel , but if I had been able to I think I would feel saddened by the regret that filled my soul as it left this body , and in result of my mistake. It seems I can rightfully assume in your journey that what was sought , was found then?"
" I don't know.. All was left was a barren wasteland of fallen debris, but for some reason being there in a place I only heard about , gained from within my newly aqcuired memories , ones I never knew I had till I had stepped in the place, and the only reason I even knew what it was when I saw it ,was something I felt deep inside telling me , that it was true .. Although strangely enough the something I felt was somehow told through you .."
"Pity.."
Kagome sought the silence that came afterwards , not neccessarily liking the uncomfortable feeling that came along with the present conversation, as it started another set of images to play within her mind carrying very ominous outcomes, and igniting the beginings of a frigid chill succombing around her now taunt form. Then, as her ears came upon a abrupt sudden movement , and one that took her with surprise unfortunately to the one making the action so suddenly with her aura taking on a more erractically random distraught patterns , accompanied by another distinctively familar tone to boot , cascading her further descending.
Although prior to the one making his later found harmlessly ,prying presence announced to Kagome's wrath of forcing his path unknown, with the intent of disengaging his following touch to where it shouldn't belong , as it was holding her from behind, with words of missed friendship , and his acknowledgement on what his guess was to the theory told thereafter, then to further fuel her burning pyre within a slip of a hand to feel the bulge of her concealed bust. It was in the awkward contact with Kagome,one that brought on somehow a fleeting glimpse of what had been done , confirming just by the way the monk's ears had heard the vague words repeatedly being said in the obvious trance that had seemingly taken over unbeknownst to the late miko friend within his recently recalled past.
"Lady Kagome, my appologies unfortunately my curse still lives .It seems the need to end all that is Naraku hold more dire meaning for us both , but it wasn't your intention to shatter the jewel on this side of the well was it? The reason it shattered was because of the ending result of you trying to purify it when your state upon your return prevented it, right?" A serious overriding the voice carrying on in normal circumstances of being playfully perverse, outwardly stated his newfound concerns.
A growling sneer , accompanied by a darkening growl nearby for the posed threat towards the one speaking , in the act of touching her unwantedly , and before the monk was thrown from his seat behind her from a violent force separating him from her person, knocking him on his bum with the monk rendered breathless, as her actions predicted. It was when seeing this with her own bloodied eyes , Kagome stood hovering over him growling in warning , then afterwards momentarily with a huff turning away , pausing only to give him the answer he sought , prior to walking away towards another seat.
" Indeed , your curse preceeds you , in the greed of random touches of a womans flesh, and one that you hide behind the true plight that binds you to Naraku's evil intentions,just as a excuse to continue the charade you chose to carry onto amongst anything else you could've chosen from the path you once held , instead of the one thing that still claims hold over your heart, but you refuse because your afraid , as you had before. Although now you have more reason to fear , don't you Miroku? Don't worry , it is my desires to help you with that wandering curse of yours in due time ."Kagome spoke , and only looking at him once more with her eyes blazing when she shared her assurrances with the plan to curb his affliction of his wandering hands , wearing a wicked fanged grin, then looking away to find a nearby lone spot, and moving slightly towards it.
A few steps away , Kagome stilled standing while holding to one of the nearby headrests tightly,as her clawed fingertips sank within the course fabric, and whispered the last part in a almost unheard spat, then wandered to that of her chosen new spot within the still moving passenger van .
"No , it wasn't intended for the jewel to be broken once more, only the answer to the request , summoning it , being called upon by one destroyed long before she had a chance to save it.."
