On a second note: Lunabell, thank you for your review! I love your idea!!! It actually gave me an idea!
Inuyasha walked inside as if he was someone on death row going to his execution. Kagome followed along just as slowly. The door burst open and Souta ran out throwing his arms around Inuyasha’s waist. “Nii-chan!” He cried. “Kid, I ain’t your brother.” He muttered before he could think about it. Tear filled eyes looked up at him and he instantly let go, “nee-chan loved you.” He felt his face heat up at the admission but patted the child’s head before crouching down. “Souta, I don’t know if I could be your brother… Once this is over I’m not sure I plan to come back.” He shook as Souta’s shoulders sagged and a devastated look came over his face. “But… you’re all I have to remember how happy she was.”
“I didn’t make her very happy kid.” Souta shook his head violently. “You did Nii-chan! You did! She loved you! When you love someone they make you happy! Even when you fight you are still happier than you ever were!”
“If she was so happy…” His bit his tongue before he could hurt the child with his own pain filled words. The child gripped the hair hanging by his face, the small act so similar to Kagome it ripped the hole in his chest bigger and he whimpered against the pain. Souta instantly let go as Inuyasha shook, “I’m sorry.” He whispered, worried he’d actually hurt the hanyou. “Your sister did that to me several times.” He muttered. Souta nodded before saying, “nee-chan was very happy. She played a game with me that night and told me she loved me and she was going back to see you. She said she had a bad headache and she felt weak but she thought a good night’s sleep would fix it.” Inuyasha looked up at the boy as he spoke, “I asked her if you guys had gotten into a fight and she shook her head and had this smile. Momma said it was an ‘I’m-in-love’ smile. I don’t know what that means but she said you needed to know. I’m worried something happened. Nii-chan what if someone killed nee-chan?!” Horror flooded his tear filled eyes and his fingers bit into his skin painfully. “Kid the only scent in the room was your sisters. I’d know Kagome’s scent anywhere.” He felt a small smile tug his lips as Souta tugged his sleeve, “that’s the smile nee-chan had!” He couldn’t resist the chuckle the escaped him. “I think something happened to nee-chan… Didn’t you say there could be demons in our time? What if a demon like the noh mask was freed?” Inuyasha shook his head but his demonic blood nudged the back of his mind. “Let’s go see if your mom needs help.” He muttered wanting to steer the conversation away from Kagome or for that matter anything that seemed to stir his demonic blood.
Inuyasha walked inside following the child. The house was decorated in black ribbons and felt empty. Mrs. Higurashi walked out of the kitchen and smiled sadly, “hello dear.” Inuyasha nodded. “Think about what I said Inuyasha…” Souta said before jogging to his room. “Pack your bags Souta!” His mother yelled up the stairs. “Pack his bags?”
“Yes, I’m sending him to his friend’s house until I get everything in order; no sense in him sitting around worrying himself over this.” Inuyasha nodded. His demon blood’s nagging became a roar in the back of his head and he stood his head trying to clear the annoying voice. “Do you mind if I go to Kagome’s room?” Her mother hugged him and shook her head, “go ahead dear.”
Dread filled his stomach as he climbed the stairs and pain ripped through his as he opened the door. Her room looked the exact same, almost smelled the same, except for the lite scent of death mixed in. Her bath gels and shampoos were sitting on her desk and he walked over picking up the one she used in his era (not that he watched her bathe… often…) and sniffed it, closing his eyes and pretending she was still here, standing behind him drying her hair with a towel and about to sit him for being a pervert. He chuckled as he picked up a picture of her, “who would have thought I’d miss being sat by you?” he asked the picture. She sat on the window seal watching him look around. “I don’t know what the kid was talking about I don’t smell anything but Kagome.”
Kagome rubbed her aching head. Was Souta right? Did a demon do this to me? Her memories sputtered and her head throbbed. She winced and released a small cry.
Inuyasha turned to Kagome’s bed and he fell onto it face first, burying his face into her pillow and breathing deeply. Kagome blushed, her attempts to remember forgotten, as she watched him. He clutched the pillow tighter as his body began to shake. “Kagome…” He sobbed, keeping his face in her pillow. Her scent washed over him, burning into his nose as he tried to stop sobbing, he didn’t want his tears to destroy hers. He covered his eyes with his sleeve and kept his face in her pillow. “I miss you!” He roared into the pillow.
Kagome gasped and felt her soul pulsate. Pain rippled through her, starting at the back of her skull through her chest. “Inuyasha.” She whispered, “I’m scared, it hurts!” She whispered as she curled into a ball. He mimicked her, curling into a fetal position still holding her pillow over his face. Kagome’s vision blinked out as black shrouded her.
