In The Mirror: Chapter three . Seeing things



I didn't mean to yell at her like that, but damn it she can get REALLY annoying! If I try to think about anything she's right there trying to get into my head. As much as I want to be open with her, there's a part of me that just wanted her to stay out of my business. But the other part of was saying that what Kaede told me back in her hut WAS her business. Her words came flooding back to me.

''Inuyasha, I strongly caution ye to be on ye guard while traveling to this village. The people there have said that they have seen glowing snake like creatures in the woods. I believe it is my sister.'' I guessed that when she said glowing.

''So what?'' I asked. I tried to look and sound clam, but on the inside my heart was pou nding. My two half's split . One was excited at the thought of seeing her again, but the other was dreading it. Her eyes were so lifeless, and her scent was nothing but dirt and bones. But no matter how much that part of me didn't want to see her, I have an obligation to her.

''So Inuyasha, ye do know that that clay figure walking the earth is not my sister, keep that in mind for what I'm about to tell ye. Many of the villagers have seen her soul collectors at the time the youkai attack the village, and a woman in miko robes. The village people think that she is the one sending the youkai after the village.'' No way . Was the first thing that cam e to my mind.

''You must be going senile old hag, Kikyo wouldn't do something like that'' I said defending her, even though a part of me thought other wise.

''Ye are right, my sister would not, but that thing is not my sister. Kikyo died fifty three years ago. I would think ye would have figured that out by now.'' Of course I know that. My Kikyo's been gone for a long time now, but unfortunately for me I only realized this after making that stupid promise to her. But I made it, and I'm going to keep it, it's a matter of honor.

''Stay out of it grandma, it's none of your business.'' The look she gave me was enough to send Sesshomaru to the grave.

''Oh Inuyasha, ye could not be more wrong about that. Ye may have loved Kikyo but she was my sister and I knew her better then anyone, and I know that she would not be happy knowing that something was walking around looking like her stealing the souls of young women to stay alive, trying to take ye to hell with her, where she dose not belong in the first place, and not to mention the things she dose and threatens to do to Kagome, the poor child is scared out of her mind.''

Everything else Kaede said was thrown out of my head. Kikyo tried and threatened to hurt Kagome? And Kagome was scared of her? Why hadn't Kagome told me any of this? Maybe Kaede was more senile then I first thought.

''I think you've lost the rest of your mind granny, Kagome would've told me about something like that. And besides, Kikyo wouldn't do something like that. '' Kaede shook her head and sighed sadly .

''Inuyasha, how many time do I have to tell ye? That thing is NOT my sister, and Kagome is afraid to talk to ye about Kikyo, maybe if you would pay more attention to her when the subject of Kikyo comes up ye will see how afraid she is of her. Until then I thin ye best be leaving, the others will be wondering what is wrong. But I suggest that ye think about what I have told ye. ''

As I walked down the dirt rode with the others following me, I knew that Kaede was right. It was time that I started paying more attention to Kagome.

Yeah you had a nice start going by snapping her head off.

A little voice said in the back of my head. (No rhyming intended) I've gotten use to it. Ever since Kagome woke me up from the eternal sleep Kikyo put me under. I think it's my youkai side, because it's always bitching at me about shit I did or didn't do. I had a voice for my human side too, that one was always trying to get me to do the right thing. Sometimes I wish I would go brain dead, then maybe they would go away. But they'd probably haunt me in death too.

Oh shit, here it comes. I can smell the start of her tears behind me. Not only that but I can fell the others glares on my back, and from the sound rustling I hear I think Sango it trying to get to the Hiraikotsu. No doubt to hit me a few times on the head. Damn it, I wish I would learn to think before I said anything. I HATE it when she cries, but I hate it even more when I'm the one that causes it. She just made me so mad with that ''not telling if I sense any jewel shards'' line that I just snapped. I know it was my fault in the first place, but another thing that pissed me off was that I had to hear from Kaede that she was afraid of Kikyo. She didn't trust me enough to tell me. That's what hurt the most.

'' Please Sango-sama, violence doesn't salve everything, it will just succeed in upsetting Kagome-sama more.'' I knew it.

''Don't you think she's upset now?! Maybe seeing him crumbled up on the ground will lighten her up a bit.'' Gee thanks Sango, but I get enough of that when Kagome sits me.

''Kagome would have sat him if she wanted to see that. And besides, don't you think sitting him is the wrong punishment?'' I owe you one Miroku. '' Drowning him in the next lake we pass seems like a better idea.'' I take it back.

Fucken back stabber. Okay so I was a little mean but come on! I'm always like that, and Kagome knows it. She's put up with me for three years, so why the water works now? If it's that important I'll apologize latterwhen we're alone. Two hours latter and still no one said anything. And to my relief, Kagome didn't cry. Out loud at lest. And a half hour latter I smelled something that made Kagome's tears the lest of my worries .

'' I smell human blood, a lot of it.'' I didn't bot her to mention that I also smelled Kikyo near by.

''And I since a jewel shard, it's coming from the west.'' Kagome said coming up next to me. I guess she changed her mind.

''So is the smell of blood. I think we found the right village. Get on Kagome, it'll be faster if I carry you.'' I said as I crouched down for her to get on, and she did. If I hadn't been so preoccupied with trying to get to the village and Kikyo I would have noticed that she never dose that when she's mad or upset with me.

I started running in the direction the blood was coming from.

I could hear kirara transforming for Miroku and Sango to ride on her.

I could feel the ground under my feet as I ran.

I could feel the wind blowing through my hair.

And I could see Kikyo's soul stealers weaving there way through the forest next to us.

I didn't see Kagome's eye's look to her left and see them to.

I didn't see the other's looking down at her with a mix of pity and sorrow.

And I couldn't feel Kagome's heart braking as she lay on my back.



I should have paid more attention to her, and I hate my self every day because I didn't.



Again I hope you liked it. Please review!
