Chap 6: The Decision

 

Inume woke up from her long night of rest. She had a headache, she figured it was from all the crying she had done. She walked over to her father who was awake as always.
`Good morning hun. Did you sleep well?' Inuyasha asked.
`Uh, I…don't know. I mean it was good. Sorry I'm just a little out of it.' Inume said rubbing her head.
`Are you okay?' Inuyasha asked a little worried.
`Yeah, I'm good. Just a little headache is all.' she answered.
`Dad you look tired. Did you not sleep well last night?' she asked.
`Hmmm? Oh no I didn't go to sleep last night.' Inuyasha replied.
`Why not?' Inume asked
`I didn't sleep because I was worried about you.' Inuyasha said looking at his daughter.
`Dad… I'm all right I swear. I'm going for a walk okay?' she said.
`Uh. Inume if you don't recall the last time you went for a walk-!' Inuyasha's statement was cut off.
`Dad I'll be fine.' she argued.
`Alright but I am sending Miroko with you.' he said.
`Fine.' Inume sighed.

 

Inuyasha walked into Sango and Miroku's hut. When he got in he went right to Miroko's side.
`Wake up monk!' Inuyasha beckoned.
`Not now mommy.' Miroko said half asleep.
`What in the seven Hells are you talking about!? I am not your mother!' Inuyasha yelled.
Miroko opened his eyes. `Huh. What do you want uncle Inuyasha?' Miroko asked.
`I want you to go with Inume for a walk.' Inuyasha replied more calm now that he had the young monk's attention.
`Oh. Inume! Is she alright?' Miroko asked.
`Yeah yeah she's fine, now let's go.' Inuyasha said pulling Miroko out of the tent.

Inuyasha brought Miroko to Inume who was impatiently for her father's return.
`Okay Inume, you may go now.' Inuyasha said giving Inume permission to go.
`Thanks dad.' Inume said.
Inume grabbed Miroko and pulled him out of the tent and they walked into the forest. They were walking side by side.
`So. Uh…how are you doing?' Miroko asked.
Inume stopped and looked at him with sad eyes.
`I don't know what to do. I'm so scared, I have been reliving it through my dreams.' A tear slid down her cheek.
Miroko put his arms around her to comfort her. `shhh it's okay Inume.' He said.
`You have no idea what it's like. I…I want to keep the pup, yet I don't. I'm scared to death. I don't know how to raise a pup, I'm only one myself.' Inume said as tears were poring down her face.
`Oh Inume.' Miroko said still holding her as he sighed.
`What?!' she said wiping the tears off her face. `You don't know what it feels like to have this happen to you! You don't even know what I am going through!' she yelled at him.
`Inume. Just because I didn't have this happen to me does not mean I do not care about you. Look. I have been hurt before, maybe not on the same level. Kayome will pay, deeply, for what he has done even if it means death.' Miroko finished.
`No. Two wrongs do not make a right, I don't want him dead.' Inume explained calmly.
`Okay…then what do you want dome with him?' he asked.
`I…I don't know yet.' Inume replied.
`Okay. Well when you do know tell me.' Miroko suggested.
`Yeah. I will.' Inume replied.
`Okay.' He said
`Miroko, I…I think I want to keep the pup.' Inume said.
`If you want.' Miroko said.
`Can…you help me raise it?' Inume asked hesitantly.
Miroko looked at his friend confused. `Inume, you are my best friend in the whole world. I will help you take care of this pup. If you need me for anything I will be tight by your side.'
Inume hugged Miroko. `Thank you. Thank you so much.' She said with gratefully to have a friend like him.
