Chapter 5 : Inuyasha's Reflection and Worry
Things had changed so much since the battle with Naraku, since Inuyasha had chose to save Kikyo, since saving Kikyo had left Kagome vulnerable. Kikyo had betrayed Naraku, and tried to kill him during the final battle. In return, Naraku had sent a powerful blow towards her, which would mean she would lose the last remains of her soul, but Inuyasha had abandoned Kagome to save her, and it had been then that Naraku took his strike, grabbing Kagome from behind. With the remaining fragments of the jewel, it merged into the complete Shikon no Tama. When Naraku reached to take it into his clutches, the jewel had reacted violently, and sent a powerful shock through him, rendering him momentarily paralized. The jewel then steered itself toward Kagome. When it reached her hands, a bright light erupted around her. Sesshoumaru, who was present, sent a powerful blast towards Naraku just as Kagome shot her arrow, and the two combined in a brilliant attack that sent Naraku to his doom. Ultimately, it had been Sesshoumaru and Kagome who had destroyed the power crazed monster.
Inuyasha reclined against a tree, his legs dangling over each side of the limb. He had noticed Kagome's attitude had changed toward him, even if she acted the same as always. He couldn't blame her. It was his fault Naraku had completed the jewel, and it was his fault that she had been caught, and it was his fault that Kagome had slept nearly a week after the final battle with Naraku. He had saved his first love, but lost his second. He had been angry when he had seen that it was Sesshoumaru who had helped her destroy their enemy, and who had returned Kagome to Sango and Miroku when she had fallen unconcious after the battle, then left with his same, emotionless face he always had. It had meant nothing to him, except that he had beaten his foul half brother. Those things had meant a great deal to Inuyasha. Kagome knew that depending on him would be a liability if Kikyo was around. And when there was trouble, Kikyo was always around. Now, Kagome needed to depend on no one. She no longer needed Inuyasha's protection. Nor, did she seem to want it.
Inuyasha sighed. He knew it was his own fault. He knew that Kikyo was but dirt and bones, but he had chose her over Kagome, and more than once. Now, Kagome had chose herself over his love for Kikyo. He glanced around, and noticed that the sun had begun to descend behind the mountains in the distance. Light was fading, and he figured it was time he returned to the village, so he slowly stood on his feet and leaped to the ground and began the short walk back to the village. As he was on the edge of the village he caught the faint sent of blood, and found the trail of droplets Kagome had left as she had walked back earlier. He knew distinctly the smell of Kagome's blood, and knew it was hers at once. However, it was not only hers, but another familiar blood scent, but he could not remember whose. He quicked his pace back to the village and found Sango.
"Is Kagome alright? Her blood is everywhere! It's not a great deal, but it's spread out."
"Kagome's fine. She was a bit messy when she came back from gathering medicinal herbs, but she took a bath and changed. She didn't seem at all abashed to me."
"Where is she, Sango?"
"She changed and left to go help a sick child, because someone come to ask if she would since no one else could make her illness yield. She said she would return soon."
"What child did she go to help?"
"Inuyasha, how would I know? She said she'd return soon. Ask her then."
"Well, whose blood was on her? There were two scents. Hers, and another that seemed familiar."
"She said she didn't want to talk about it, because it was a long story. It didn't seem to matter to her, though."
Sango commended herself on answering Inuyasha's questions truthfully without revealing things that Kagome had asked she not tell him."
Inuyasha squinted at her. "Sango, is there something you're not telling me?"
"Why would I do that Inuyasha?"
"Because I bet Kagome told you not to tell me anything."
Sango rolled her eyes. "Lighten up, Inuyasha. Stop worrying. I told you Kagome was fine." With that she walked off.
"Sango! What the hell are you keeping secret!"
Having got no answer, Inuyasha went off to brood in the forest.
