Homecoming
----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
"Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see, when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?"
-------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
When Sango returned, Miroku didn't ask about how things had gone, he never did. Unlike her, he had come to accept the fact that Kagome was going to die, and there wasn't a thing they could do about it. When Sango asked why he was giving up, a whole week ago, Miroku had given her the answer she never wanted to hear.
"It's useless, Sango. I care for her as much as you do but she's not coming back."
"How can you do that?" Sango had screamed while tears spilled from her eyes, "how can you just give up on her if she really is your friend?"
Miroku had only sighed and pulled Sango into his lap.
"Sango, when I was hit by Kagome's barrier," he had whispered quietly, "For just a second, I could feel what she feel. And even just for a second, I felt the betrayal, sadness, but worst of all, the loneliness."
Sango remembered how he had pulled her closer before continuing,
"We don't know what Inuyasha did that day, nor do we know when he will return so that we may ask him, but we know that whatever it was, it was bad. Still, what surprises me was Kagome had no anger, not even one vindictive thought. But almost no human could be able to live with that much depression inside of themselves."
"But Kagome's not your average human!" she had cried in desperation, before letting sobs take over her. Still, she continued to bring Kagome food and supplies. Deep inside, knowing Kagome would never use them.
Now that Sango looked back on that day one week ago, it seemed like a distant memory.
Miroku and Sango continued to sit in silence, but it was a comfortable one at least. Time seemed to stand still, and everything around her seemed to freeze.
Suddenly, Miroku tensed and uttered the words that Sango had been waiting two weeks to hear.
"He's coming."
They both knew who "he" was, and after a while, Sango could even make out a blurr of red in the distance. Before long, the hanyou they had known for so long stood in front of them.
"Where were you?" Sango demanded but Inuyasha looked down at the floor and Miroku instantly knew where he was.
"How's Kikyo?" the monk asked and Inuyasha looked up at him in surprise.
"F-Fine," he stammered, "a few scratches but nothing life-threatening."
"That's great!" Sango roared in a mix of sarcasm and disgust, "Let's all talk about Kikyo, while Kagome continues to kill herself. While we're at it, why don't we talk about how great's the whether's been and other useless stuff like how there's been no youkai here for two weeks. Hell, let's forget about the fact that Shippo's killing himself too!"
Inuyasha had felt guilt fill his insides when he heard that Kagome was hurt, but he felt any eerie chill go through his spine when he heard that Shippo was still alive.
"That's impossible," he replied, as much as he hated to recall that day two weeks ago, he had seen Shippo die, he knew he had. Sango however, didn't seem to know or care.
"What's impossible?" she hissed, "The fact that you could so easily forget about a girl that's given her life to you, or the fact that even you could be such a fucking bastard!"
Even Miroku was staring at her now. He had never heard Sango swear in all the time he'd known her. No matter what happened, she had always tuck to clean language. Inuyasha seemed to be staring at her too. Though for what reason, Miroku didn't know.
"Shippo's dead," Inuyasha said quietly.
"Of course," Sango retorted, "My mind just conjured up the image of him sitting and breathing on her back!"
"Where's Kagome?" He finally asked, now really worried.
Sango pointed to a hut on the outskirts of the village and Inuyasha felt himself gulp.
He could practically see the dark waves flowing of the hut.
Now it all made sense.
It was no wonder that no youkai would come to this village. They weren't stupid enough to look for trouble, and these black waves reeked of powerful aura, very powerful aura. Now was no time to be scared, Kagome was in there.
It took all his self-control to walk towards that hut, even though his youkai instincts were practically screaming for him to leave. But no, he wouldn't leave Kagome alone again. The door was right it front of him now.
Taking in a deep breath to calm his jittering nerves, he pulled open and felt all the breath fly out of him.
No manner of self-control could have prepared for the state Kagome was in.
