Kagome POV:
On the way to Sango's and Miroku's hut, I tried to think of what I was going to say. Because what can I say really? 'oh, hey there best friend, sorry I ran away because I wasn't mature enough to handle a broken heart and didn't tell you I was planning on leaving. How's the baby?' I mean, seriously? I can't exactly waltz in there like nothing ever happened either. Maybe I can just let her talk? I mean, I would have a lot to say to me if I were her.
I wonder how her and Miroku are going to handle the fact that I'm on the run from Sesshomaru…this is way too much stress. But I was so distracted by what was going on inside of my head, I completely blanked about what was going on around me and before I knew it, I see Miroku with a smile brighter than the sun its self and the sun is already setting.
"We're here! Please, come inside." He exclaimed, making an exaggerated swinging motion towards the hut.
"Just so were completely clear, I was totally against this and if I die it's on your head." I said with a slight growl. Not because I don't want to see my best friend, but because I'm still on the run from a very powerful youkai that may be hunting me down with the intent to kill.
"I don't understand the reason behind your hesitance, but I assure you that everything will go great." Miroku said while walking to the hut and pushing the door open without warning. "My beloved Sango, I am home!"
"Why are you yelling monk? You might wake our child and I swear to the Kami's above if she wakes I will—"Sango's voice abruptly cut off as she rounded the corner and we made eye contact. And I was surprised by what I saw. Sango had gained weight, obviously because she had given birth, but she still looked young and amazing as if she hadn't. she was wearing a black floor length kimono with pink rose petals on the ends of the sleeves, and her hair was in a simple but neat bun high atop her head.
"You." She spat out, as if saying that word was poisonous and would cause her death. I would be lying if I said that it didn't hurt, just like I would be lying if I said that I didn't wince just a bit.
"Yea me. So um…how are you?" ok I admit, that was way lame. But c'mon what am I supposed to say?
"How am I? How am I? Oh, I'll tell you how I am, I had a baby, a beautiful baby girl but you were here for that. What you weren't here for however, was her very first birthday, the first word that she said, to see her first smile or her first steps! You weren't here, and do you haveany idea how sad that is? The woman, who helped deliver the light of my life into this world, has only seen her once. And suddenly you show up in my home and ask me how I am? I'm perfect, thanks for asking."
By the time Sango was finished, she was panting as if she just fought off an entire army of demons, her neat bun that sat high atop her head was now down and her hair fell in soft black curls that framed her face, a face that is now close up and personal with mine. So close that I can see the angry fire burning in her eyes, and the hurt that shone beneath.
"You weren't here." She rasped out before she broke down and began to cry. It was then that I looked around ant noticed that Miroku left. Not knowing what else to do, I engulfed her up in the tightest hug I could muster.
"Shhh don't cry, I know…I know I left. And I'm so, so sorry. But I needed time and space, to reinvent myself and to get over the heart break. I know it was a stupid, coward like move to leave without telling you, or anyone else for that matter. But at the time, I thought that was best. I can only hope that with time you can find it in yourself to forgive me." I whispered, allowing a few tears to fall onto my cheeks.
"You're already forgiven...Just don't leave. And if you have to, please tell us before you go." She whispered back, smiling through her tears, and for the first time since falling through the well I felt like everything was going to be okay.
"Ya know, there is this one tiny detail I left out." I started telling Sango, I needed to get it out before we start our friendship back up, I refuse to have a relationship with lies.
"Okay, what that?" she asked, Curiosity shinning through her eyes.
"I am kind of running from—" I tried to say but Miroku came barging into the hut, and falling upon the floor next to where Sango and I were standing, Cuts and blood covering him from head to toe. How can I see him from head to toe you may ask? I see his clothes are in tatters, barely hanging onto his body. And the sight is disturbing.
"Miroku! What-?" Sango ran towards him, fear etched on her face.
"Youkai." Was the first and last thing he rasped out before he passed out on us.
"We need to fend this thing off, C'mon." she spat, rising from her place on the floor next to her husband; anger and determination clear on her face. She raced towards the door with a dagger that seemed to appear out of nowhere, but before she could cross to outside I stopped her.
"Sango wait! What about the baby? And I really need to finish telling you what I was trying to say." I yelled, trying to make sure she could hear me above all the sudden commotion coming from outside, the screams and growls that seem to get louder and louder.
"Kekade will be on the way to protect her, we have an agreement. And whatever is it that's so important that it can't wait?" Sango yelled, pushing through me to get to the door and I'm slightly ashamed to say that I let her through and then followed her out.
But then stopped in my tracks at what I saw.
The whole village was in disarray, there were fires and bodies everywhere, spears, daggers, swords—anything that could be used as a weapon was strewed across the village and
at the center was the chaos was the very being I was trying to run from. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. His eyes were blood red, his silver hair blowing in the night breeze and his white kimono was stained red, no doubt from the blood of the villagers.
He looked like the angel of death, beautiful and terrifying.
"Sesshomaru" I breathed out, and it was then that he looked at me with those blood red eyes, and snarled.
"miko." He growled out before slowly advancing towards Sango and I.
i cant tell you how sorry i am for my absence, all i can really tell you is whats been gong on in my life: for starters, a relative of mine was diagnosed with MS(multiple sclerosis) and over the past few months, its been getting more and more aggressive. so my mother,brother and i have moved it to try and help her. (cause her kids are pure blehh). and i made a choice between what she needed and what i wanted.
(i obviously choose her)
in addition to that, im failing a class...like..drastically failing..were talking 41% and i cant be a valedictorian with all A's and one F, so right next to my relative was school,cause comes first
(well second really if im counting my relative)
i didn't tell you all of this for you all to give me pity, i just thought i owed it to you all to tell you whats been going on.
now for the GOOD news: i will NOT be abandoning my story,even though updates may be seriously slow in arrival. i have an idea for a one shot/song fic and i have a poll up on my profile, so you guys can choose! and this chapter has not been seen by my beta so all mistakes are mine and will eventually be fixed.
and even though this is way overdue: MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY THANKSGIVING, HAPPY NEW YEARS & HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
PLEASE review and show me and this story some love(or hate)
