InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Future Heart, Future Pain, Future Hope ❯ Chapter 47 ( Chapter 48 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Some more Inuyasha and Kagome moments coming up folks...but I don't think you are gonna like events soon...because things in the next couple of chapters will take a turn for the worse. Everything will be revealed within the next 10 chapters.

So don't kill me o.k?

I don't own Squat...

Meaningful conversations among women...

Kagome sighed as she collapsed to her knees. Having walked aimlessly in this direction for about 15 minutes, the miko had expected the hanyou to have caught up by now.

“It figures, he is to busy thinking about her...”

“Kagome...you know that isn't true.” Replied a soft and familiar voice.

Turning around to find the Sango with her boomerang, the miko, in the eyes of her friend, looked sad and alone. “He does love you...”

“No he doesn't...he doesn't love me Sango. He loves her. I'm just a poor substitute.”

“Kagome...” Sango whispered comfortingly. Her arms wrapping around her friend, she allowed the miko to cry and to cry for what seemed life forever. But finally, when the shoulders sagged in exhaustion, the Slayer let go of her friend, so that she may speak for the other.

“Inuyasha, chose you though Kagome. His tattoos on your body and your on his proves that.”

“So. It doesn't matter, not if he still thinks about her.”

“Kagome, you are an idiot as you would so eloquently put it.”

“SANGO!”

“Think about it Kagome, you haven't let go of it either.” Sango wisely stated. “In the past, you would mope and then let it go, now you are not. Why? What's different about this time compared to the others?”

Looking dumbfounded at the Slayer's words, the young woman for the first time in her life is at a loss for words. “Kagome, I agree with you that he shouldn't be thinking about her. But right now everything is still to fresh, not just for you, but for him as well. Give him time...give both of yourselves time to let go of your past...”

“...”

Sighing softly with regret, as she had done all she could, the Slayer gets up to leave. But not before the miko speaks a curious question.

“Sango...”

“Yes Kagome?”

“Could you do it? Could you let go of what happened to Kohaku and the others.” She asked softly.

“Not right away.” Sango admitted. “It would be hard to forget not having him around, or the gentle air he exuded. I was always the more temperamental out of the two of us you know. But with each passing moment, that I am with you and the others, it makes me realize that although Kohaku is an important part of my life...the shard within his back is the only thing keeping him alive. I have to learn to let go...”

“Because of Naraku...”

“Yes...you and I both know Kagome, the minute that he is able, Naraku will take the shard out, when he feels he no longer needs control of my brother.” Sango whispered sadly. “I just hope to be there when Naraku does do it to Kohaku, so that way my brother isn't alone, when he dies.”

The miko gazed with newfound understanding, as the realization of her own semi-quasi problems pale in comparison to that of her friends.

“Sango can you forgive me?” Kagome whispered gently.

“Whatever for?”

“For being a selfish bitch as Inuyasha would put it.” The miko stated wryly and ashamedly. “Here I am wailing about my own problems which in comparison to yours comes up lacking.”

“No they aren't lacking Kagome, you took a beating from Kikyo for so long over Inuyasha. You even held the pain within to keep not just him but everyone else happy. You were due...”

“True....but it is still nothing in comparison to yours.” The miko replied warmly. “Come on...I have a hanyou I have to go reassure.”

Chuckling at the thought of the hanyou, who by now is probably pacing a groove into the ground. The Slayer gets up to follow, and pauses at the one question Kagome brings up that unnerves her.

“Say Sango?”

“Yes?”

“Did you and Miroku ever get around to talking?”

“We did....”

“Well what did he say?” The miko asks curiously.

Blushing red, Sango explains everything that the monk had relayed. With each passing word, Kagome smiles warmly and with gentle encouragement for her inhibited friend.

“That was beautiful and he got that advice from Inuyasha?”

“Yes...surprising isn't it?” Sango giggles. “But what should I do now Kagome? Unlike you...I don't know how I should react to Miroku...”

“Be yourself...”

“Myself?”

“Sango...I have been nothing but myself with Inuyasha since I have been here. I have succeeded in getting through to him, when I was my stubborn self more then when I was trying to be cool and aloof like Kikyo.” The miko from the future replied. “If Miroku truly cares for you...simply be yourself. Then he can love you for simply being who you are. Not what you look like...”

With that said, the Miko walked back towards the camp, leaving the Slayer alone with her thoughts...
