InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Naraku's secret & Inuyasha's love ❯ The questions that may not ever be answered ( Chapter 17 )

The questions that may not ever be answered

"Inuyasha?"

"What? You seemed worried about something."

"Not worried, just thinking about things"

"Like what?"

"Well, I would rather not talk about it right now. Any way Inuyasha, why do you think Naraku is killing innocent people?"

"You really want to know. I think he finds enjoyment in it."

"That's exactly what I thought."

"Are you all right?"

"Yes but just to let you know there are some people that we know right over there. I'm feeling nice right now so if they show themselves then I won't be mad."

Sango Miroku and Shippo walked out from behind some trees. Kilala came out last and jumped on Courtney's shoulder.

"I guess it doesn't matter that you guys are here. I just don't know anymore."

"What don't you know? Any way Courtney I thought you said that you couldn't come back to this dimension."

"I for got that I said that. Actually I don't know why I'm here. That one of the things that I'm thinking about. If you truly want to know what all my thought are right now then listen up."

Everyone went by Courtney and sat around her. Courtney just looked at them, and was for some reason surprised since no one really ever cared what she was thinking before.

"Well to tell you the truth, I don't even know why I'm alive. I don't know why I'm the person who I am, or what I am. No Inuyasha it has nothing to do with me losing so much of my soul."

"I didn't say anything."

"I could tell by that look on your face. Anyway I don't know why I know the people I know or why I had to be the one who was cursed by Naraku that could kill any time it really wanted to."

"What do you mean Courtney? I thought I was the only one who was cursed in this group."

"You are, like I told Inuyasha before I don't belong in a group. I'm on my own, and I always will be."

"You're still saying that."

"Inuyasha I will never change what I said to you. Well besides for a few things that we already talked about but." Courtney then took a deep sigh. " You know why I sometimes look like I'm in some kind of trance, well that's because of the curse. I know this is sort of stupid but it will soon consume me and it can even make me walk off a cliff. That was the stupid part. And trust me I have walked off a cliff before and I did fall and I did land on my face but I got back up in ten minutes or so."

"Wow, you never told me this before Courtney. Why, why didn't you tell me?" Shippo said to her with innocent eyes even making Inuyasha go a little soft.

"Shippo I never did because I never really thought it mattered until now. My life is shortening by the day. Maybe even a little faster then Miroku's. Everyday it gets worse, sometimes it seems like it gets better but I just get lucky. With my demon blood taking over me more now that too shortens my life faster. Even so every time I face Naraku, the curse gets worse."

"How?" Sango asked

"You know that dark purple light that he releases every time I fight him."

"Isn't that miasma?" Miroku said.

"No, this light is even darker. That is the light of the curse called hatred consumed by the soul. I know it's a stupid name as well but it's not like I pick them."

"It is a stupid name but you're saying that it's going to kill you soon?"

"Yes Inuyasha." Courtney told him again looking at him with a very confuse look.

Inuyasha then stood up and griped Courtney's hand and pulled her to the other end of the area.

"Courtney, why didn't you tell me that your life, I mean you were cursed by Naraku?"

Courtney sighs once more. "Inuyasha, I didn't trust you. I didn't trust any of you."

"Courtney, please just explain to me once more why you didn't trust me. Why you didn't trust any of us."
