InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Being a child again ❯ chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

“We leave.” Naraku said, standing up and walking over to Kagome. “Come Kagome, we are going to…to go for a ride.” Her face lit up and something inside of Naraku stirred…something that made him want to kill everything that came near Kagome. Keeping his face blank, but killing that part of himself, he picked up the child and got onto the feather, just as Inuyasha and the others burst into the door.

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha yelled as the roof of the building was torn apart and the feather given room to move upwards. “Come back here with her, Naraku!”

 

Kagome, hiding her face from the falling debris, heard what was said, and it made her confused. Why did this man down there want her? Had she been bad and he wanted to put her in a corner? Climbing closer to Naraku, trying to find safety in his arms, she looked over the edge of the feather at the man below.

 

“You'll have to come and find us, Inuyasha.” Naraku laughed, holding Kagome. “Kagome is mine now, and it's all because of you.” Miasma shot through the air around him, covering them up, and soon they were out of sight.

 

“Kuso!” Inuyasha screamed out, mad at himself for not getting there sooner. “Kuso kuso kuso kuso kuso!”

 

“Calm down Inuyasha!” Miroku said. “We'll find them, don't worry.”

 

“Don't you tell me to not worry, monk!” Inuyasha said, whirling around on him. “You did just lose the most important thing in your life!” and with that he jumped off in the direction of Kaeda's village, hoping that the God Tree would be able to calm him down and let him think.

 

“Oh yeah.” Sango said as they mounted Kirara and followed. “He loves her.” But she quickly lost the slight happiness that this brought her and she said, “I do hope that Kagome will be alright though.” She glanced over her shoulder at where she had last seen Kagome. “She's so young now that…and what if…”

 

“Don't worry,” Miroku cut her off. “She'll be fine, we'll find her soon enough.”

 

(Some hours later)

 

Inuyasha sat in the God Tree, his eyes closed, but his senses still on high alert. This was all his fault! Why hadn't he been there, sensed Naraku, stayed with Kagome, anything? Everything, it was all because of him and it was going to be his fault if Kagome died.

 

“Do not blame yourself for the child's kidnap.” Came a voice form below him and he looked down to find Kaeda picking herbs. “Ye did not know that she would be taken, not of us did.”

 

“Shut up, hag.” Inuyasha said, looking away form her. “And it doesn't matter, I should have stayed with her. And how did you…”

 

“…know that you blamed yourself?” she finished for him and he growled but nodded. “These trees told me.” She said, looking around her. Everywhere there were fallen trees, ripped trees, shredded trees, and some that only had scratches.

 

Inuyasha blushed slightly but didn't say anything. It wasn't his fault those damn trees got in his way!

 

“Suit your self,” Kaeda said, turning away, herbs in hand. “If ye gets hungry, we have food ready.”

 

Inuyasha only `feh'd' as she walked away. He was willing to stay there all night, listening, sniffing, anything as he waited for a scent of Naraku until morning came. But soon, as he stomach growled and the slight scent of food hit his nose, he sighed and jumped down.

 

“We'll find you Kagome.” He said, going to Kaeda's hut. “We'll find you soon.” If only that had been true.

 

(Many years later)

 

Two girls faced off against each other, one with a fan in her hand, the other a sword at her hip and a bow and arrows on her back.

 

“Ready?” asked a pale girl, quietly, from the side lines. Both of the other girls nodded and the fan girl, Kagura, opened her fan, while the other girl, Kagome, drew her sword. Kanna, the pale child, nodded and said, “Go.”

 

Both of the girls were still for a moment, trying to figure what the other would do. Kagura moved first, and perhaps it was this that made the fight so short. As she readied to swing her fan, she moved her leg back slightly, to give her more leverage, and Kagome saw this.

 

“Dance of Blades!” Kagura cried and whipped her fan forward. But it hit empty earth and air, Kagome already moving. Kagura looked around. Where had she gone? Then she felt the sharp edge of the cold steel of Kagome's sword on the back of her neck.

 

“Dear sister, you are much to predictable.” Kagome said, removing her sword and giving her `sister' a hug. “And it's easy to get to you when you're blinded for a moment by your own attack.”

 

For a moment it looked like Kagura would blow up, but instead she smiled than laughed and said, “You've gotten better Kagome, I don't think I can teach you anything else.”

 

Kagome smiled as was about to reply when the doors of the hut behind them opened and a man stepped out into the sunlight, looking over at them.

 

“Father!” Kagome cried out and ran to him, giving him a giant hug. “I beat Kagura father! I beat her this time!”

 

For a moment the man looked shocked then he smiled and gave a her another hug.

 

“Wonderful,” he said, and looked over her shoulder at the other two girls. They nodded, and he removed Kagome from himself. “But it is not time for that now.” He made himself looked worried, slightly, as he said, “Do you remember the man Inuyasha?”

 

Her face hardened. She hated that man, that hanyou, that halfbreed! It was his fault that she had lost some of her memory, her family, and everything else that had been dear to her.

 

“Yes.” She growled out. “I remember him.”

 

“Well, he's planning to come after me again.” Naraku said, hiding his glee that she hated him. “But I am to old for fighting. No, no, I really am.” He said as Kagome opened her mouth to object. “So I need you, Kagura, and Kanna to go and kill him before he can harm anyone.”

 

For a moment she hesitated. She really didn't like fighting anything that was human, though she had killed then before, she still had nightmares about them. Now demons, that was another story. But things that were even half human…

 

`But he killed your family.' Said a voice in her head, one that she thought was her conscience. She never did make the voice connection between Naraku and it though.

 

Smiling, she said, “I'm love to stick Akui in him.” And she patted her sword.

 

Naraku nodded and said, “Good, good, then you all can leave as soon as tomorrow, right?” when he saw them nod and bow to him, he said, “Good. Then I shall go rest now, I am felling slightly old right this moment.”

 

And he retreated back into the hut.

 

“I can't wait to impale that son of a…” Kagome started but she was cut off by Kanna saying, “Let's go fishing. It is almost lunch.” Kagome nodded, as did Kagura, and they gather up their things and headed for the stream.
