Love and Insanity


A/N: Ok, I kinda forgot about my stories in the middle of this unexpected surprises of life. It really sucks, you know, right when you think things are getting better, somebody else dies and just... turns your world ehh? I guess that's why my stories are this way. Well, this time it was my cousin... it didn't really hit me till I saw my cousin Kerry crying over her sister's dead body as it was being burried. And ohhh MAN... i went to visit my grandpa and grandma while I was at the graveyard place... they were in a crypt. The smell of the dead corpses was sooooo strong as I saw mites along my grandparents gravestones. Couldn't eat for a couple days after that. Anywayz, enough of my rambling, It's story time.

Chapter 29


Investigating the Well


Kagome put Inu yasha's clothes in the washing machine as she thought of what Inu yasha had told her before he had passed out again. If what Inu yasha said was true, then why didn't Ao Tokoyami follow him through the well. He should have been able to with the jewel shards he got from Kouga.

"Unless!" she thought to herself outloud.

'Unless he didn't have the jewel shards on him!'

"Kagome! I made some breakfast for Inu yasha and yourself!" she heard her mother's voice interrupt her thoughts.
"Thanks mom!"

She turned on the water after putting the soap in and shut the machine door.
After she had grabbed the food, she went back up the stairs and crept open her door. Inu yasha laid sound asleep, sprawled out on her bed. She tip toed up to the desk next to her bed and set his food down. Just as she was turning around to leave...

"Kagome"

"Yes?" she turned around to face him.

"I...nothing"

"Oh... ok then" she walked forward only two steps before his voice stopped her once again.

"Wait"

This time, she didn't turn around.

"Ummmm, I was..." he sighed, "I was just wondering why he wasn't able to come to this side, like the centipede demon."

"Yeah," she turned around, "He couldn't have had the jewel shards on him... or he would have made it to this side, right?"

"That bastard, if he attacks the village, they'll all die!"

"I'll go and warn them"

Inu yasha gave Kagome a serious look, "The fuck you will! He's looking for YOU Kagome, he's probably still outside the well, or close to it."

"He probably waited till now to go to the village... what should we do, I mean, you can't even get up, let alone fight him, and you turn human tonight! We can't just let them be massacred like Kouga's tribe!"

"I don't think that will happen, I'm sure Sango and Miroku felt his evil presence last night, hopefully. Sango and Miroku are smart, they'll think of something..."



***************************************



"Did we miss anybody?" Sango yelled as she ran around the village.

"I don't think so..." Miroku yelled back as he ran back to the people who were already walking up the path to go to the western village until the evil aura left. The villagers could prove useful to there broken down town which is being rebuilt. Miroku climbed on Kirara's back and they took off into the air, following slightly behind Kaede who was leading the people on her horse.

They were only about a quarter mile away before some trouble stirred up below. Kirara flew down and flew down next to the trouble. A woman was crying, demanding to go back to the village.

"We can go back for any belongings after things cool down..." Sango said.

"You don't understand," the woman cried, "My youngest son, he's not here... He was right next to me!" she cried.

Miroku sighed.

"I'll go and get him, Keep walking the path, I wont be long."

Sango looked at Miroku and nodded as she hopped off Kirara with Shippou in her hands.

"Be quick Miroku, who ever killed the wolf tribe is very close"

"I know" he said as he flew off back into the direction of Kaede's village. It didn't take long to get to the village with Kirara's speed. Once they arrived, the cat demon flew low and tapped onto the ground.

Miroku ran into the cabins, calling out over and over, "Little boy! Where are you!"
Before long, he got to a cabin where he could hear crying.

"It's ok, I'll take you to your mother" he called out, still unable to see the boy. The weeps took him to a little broom closet. He opened the door and saw the little boy, the same brown hair and brown eyes as his mother.

"Hey there, it's ok now, I'll take you to your mother" Miroku said, holding out his hand.

"My (sniff sniff) mommy?"

"Yes, C'mon, we really have to leave now!"
The boy took his hand and he swung him up and held him in his arms as he ran to Kirara. He could feel the presence getting closer as he set the boy down on Kirara's back. "It's coming," he whispered, "quick Kirara, we can't let it see us!"

"Too late..."
Miroku held his breath as he turned around.

"Hello Miroku"
Miroku was struck with sudden suprize at the sounds of his name comming from this unholy man. He felt such a strong evil coming from this man, he could see the black aura surrounding his pale blue body.

"How do you know my name?"

"Oh well, that really is irrelevant. What matters is I'm willing to let you and this boy live, if you tell me where I can find the Miko known as Kagome"

"What do you want with Kagome?!" Miroku asked in a strong warning voice.

"That doesn't matter either"

"Ok then... I don't know where she is..."

"Your lying"

"Even If I knew where she was, I wouldn't tell you"

"Oh really" Ao Tokoyami replied. "Not even if I..." he paused for a brief moment and suddenly it was like he had just disappeared, "Threatened this child's life?"

Miroku snapped around and couldn't believe it. The man had the little boy in his arms, and he didn't even see it. The boy was sobbing terrified. Kirara growled deeply and tried to pounce on him, but he was to fast.

"Put him down!" Miroku yelled.

"Give me the information I want!"

"PUT THE BOY DOWN!!!! If you want to feel tough, take a man, not a child!"

Ao Tokoyami smirked and threw the boy down. The boy scurried to his feet and ran into Miroku's arms. Miroku picked him up and set him on Kirara's back once again. "Kirara... leave, take the boy." Kirara looked worriedly at Miroku as he backed away. "Don't worry Kirara, I'll be fine."
She nodded before she turned around and flew away, the boy laying on her back as he gripped her fur.

Miroku turned back to the blue creature and stared right into his black eyes. "Thank you"

He only smirked back,"You surprise me, Monk."
"Why is that?"

"I can sense no fear in you, and yet, you are completely human, I respect that Monk."

Miroku didn't say anything back to him.


"I met up with your friend Inu yasha, he's an arrogant little mutt, isn't he?"

"What did you do to Inu yasha?!" Miroku demanded to know.

"Well, I didn't have a chance to kill him... he disappeared into that strange well. Tell me, how do I work the magic?!"

Miroku's eyes widened when he heard the creature mention the well that led into Kagome's world. "I don't know..."

He raised his brow, "Where does it lead?"

"I... I'm not really sure... honestly"

Ao Tokoyami approached Miroku with suspicious eyes. His face leaned in really close as he looked straight into Miroku's brown eyes with his deep black eyes which had no trace of white. It almost looked as if he had no eyes.

"Very well then, I will let you live, for now... but be warned. I will not be so gracious the next time we meet." Ao said as he turned around and darted straight for the air and flew out of sight.

Miroku let out a huge sigh of relief as he looked after Ao Tokoyami in the blue sky. He thought for sure he was a goner. He couldn't understand... if this man was so evil, why did he let the boy go? Why didn't the creature kill Miroku when he had the chance?
Miroku shook these thoughts and remembered how far the villagers have probably gotten by now. He took off into a run in the direction of the villagers.



**************************************************************



"What is the secret of the well?" Ao Tokoyami wondered. He was positive his mother knew, but he didn't want to have to ask his mother. The Monk didn't seem to know how to get on the other side... after all, the villagers were fleeing. If they knew the secret, why wouldn't they just go on the other side of the well to flee? It didn't add up. He was sure of it now... Kagome was on he other side of that well. But why can Inu yasha go to the other side of the well, and not him. Maybe he needed to have human inside of him... but then, why couldn't the villagers flee into the well?
The more he thought about it, the more he was lead round and round by questions.

He flew into a large cave and landed swiftly on the ground, and walked over to the back of the cave. The cave grew so dark in this area, no light showed at all. It didn't matter though, he didn't need the light, he could see perfectly in the dark. He pushed aside some rocks and pebbles that covers a small ball of light, like a small shield. It floated above his hand as he looked into its light.

"Amakudari akeru" he said as he raised his other hand over it. The light instantly was burnt out and the shield shattered as 2 small jewel shards dropped into the palm of his hand. He didn't like to hold them on him, he only wanted the shards to go home, he had no other use for them, he didn't need their power. He kept a shield over it where nobody could sense its magic. It really was a pain, all the nasty little demons the stupid things attracted. Not that he didn't enjoy killing them, it got old after a while though.

He stared deeply into the jewel shards and sighed as he stuffed them back into their place, covering it with the shield and the rocks once again. It was time to investigate, he will only ask his mother as a last resort, he must be able to find this way by himself, to prove he was worth it.
"I will find you Kagome... and I will kill you" he said as he flew off once again in the direction of the well to go investigate some more.



*********************************************



Inu yasha sat up slightly and his face was momentarily struck pain. His black hair curtained around his face so Kagome couldn't see. "I hate being human" he mumbled.

"What was that?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing..."

There was a brief silence which was interrupted by Inu yasha's stomach growling. Kagome laughed.

"I'm hungry"

"My mother is making dinner, it should be ready soon"

Inu yasha sighed as he leaned his head back against the bed frame. There was another silence, Kagome simply continued on her homework while Inu yasha sat there in silence. He stared at her while she worked, noticing how she bites her lip as she concentrates. His mind drifted back to the night when Kouga died. The night those lips touched Kouga's... it was enough to make him sick. He didn't feel much remorse for Kouga, after all, he never liked him anyway. Just because he was dying, it didn't make it right that Kagome kissed him...

"You know, it's not polite to stare"

Inu yasha turned away at once and faced the wall. Kagome shrugged her shoulders and was about to go back to her work.

"Why did you kiss him?" he asked coldly.

Kagome sighed, "Not this again, I already told you, I felt horrible! It just kinda happened! He was dying!"

"So you just go around kissing everyone whose about to die?"

"Inu yasha! Your'e being ridiculous!"

"Am I? Your MY woman Kagome! Just because he was dying, it doesn't make it right!"

"Ok then, Your'e right! But at least I kissed him out of pity. I don't feel anything for Kouga, I love YOU Inu yasha! Besides, this is just a bunch of crap and you know it! You kissed Kikyou... now you know how it feels"

"Is that why you did it? To get back at me for kissing Kikyou? I thought this was behind us!"

"Oh don't act like you don't think about her anymore! I can see it in your eyes! I can tell when you are thinking about her!"

"HEY DON'T TRY AND POINT THIS AT ME!"

"Why the hell not? I still love you, even after you chose her, I stayed with you! And I just try to make someone die a little happier and YOU jump down my back!"

Inu yasha went to open his mouth but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in" Kagome replied.

The door crept open, "Mom told me to bring dinner to you guys" Souta said as he handed them their plates of food.

"Well, carry on!" Souta said as he left the room, giggling.

"Kagome-"

"Listen Inu yasha. I really am sorry that I hurt you. That's the last thing I want to do. But what is done is done. And you can decide, if you still want to be with me"

Inu yasha was stunned that she would say that. At first, he couldn't find the right words, but finally they came to him. "Kagome, I never said I didn't want to be with you. I could never say that. Your'e my woman, my mate... I just, I cant stand the thought of sharing you with anyone else. You belong with me, and only me!"

"Oh Inu yasha, My heart belongs to only you..." she said and as if ending everything to do with the fight, she closed the space between them and kissed him deeply. Inu yasha lifted his arms and pulled her down, at the same time injuring himself as he winced. Kagome sat up beside him and grabbed his food, and once he relaxed again on his bed, she fed it to him as he smiled at her.
