Fairy Tale

Chapter 19

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

The small kitsune called out to his ‘sister’. “Kagome!!” Tears leaked down his small face. “Kagome…Please wake up!!” He couldn’t stand to see her like this. Lying in a hospital bed, unconscious. It made him think of his dead parents all over again. He beat his tiny fists against the bed in frustration. “Kagome!!” He sobbed out, placing his cheek against the cool sheets. “Please…wake up…”

“Rin wanted to know if Kohaku and Souta wanted to play more, or snack?” The small girl looked up at the two older boys.

“Why don’t we play tag, instead?” Kohaku put in. Rin’s face lit up.

“Yay!! Does Souta-chan want to play tag as well?” She looked to her friend for an answer.

“I don’t know…It’s getting kind of late…Sango should be picking us up…” He looked down at her pleading eyes and gave in. “Oh…Alright!” He slumped his shoulders and sighed.

“Yay!! Rin’s so happy!” She jumped gleefully and claimed Souta to be it.

“Oh, hey now! That’s not fair!” He gave chase. Kohaku stood off a safe distance away and watched the scene unfold.

Kouga didn’t know what to do. His girlfriend was in the hospital and on round the clock supervision. She was only allowed one visitor at a time, and he had to leave for the evening anyway. He sighed and kicked a rock on the side of the road. He hadn’t driven himself to the hospital, so he had to walk home. This gave him time to think.

‘What if I had lost her? What if whoever had actually succeeded in their task…What if instead of lying on a hospital bed she was on a table at the morgue right now?? Damnit! Those are not the thoughts I should be thinking! I should be relieved that she survived…I hope she pulls through all right…I love her…’

Inuyasha was in his room, lying on his bed, and staring at the ceiling. “My god damn fucking girlfriend tried to kill my best friend…What am I supposed to be feeling?” ‘Am I supposed to be happy? Sad? Angry? Depressed? What the hell am I supposed to feel!? Because right about now, I fell nothing! Not a god damn thing! First, the anger hit, I almost snapped on Kikyou…Then I was happy she survived…Then I was depressed…Now…Now, I feel nothing! What the hell!? Kagome you better fucking wake up before I get there!!’

He reached over to his nightstand, and picked up the photograph of himself and Kagome from a few years back.

“Kagome…What would I do if I lost you?”

Kagura sat stroking Kikyou’s hair. “Shh…its okay…It’s okay…We’ll make everything better again, Kikyou. Don’t worry…I’m here for you!” Kagura looked down at the pitiful mess that used to be her dignified friend. ‘All for one guy. He made you make yourself a better person…Then tore you all apart again…Kikyou…What ever am I going to do with you?’ She sighed and looked towards the doorway where Naraku was seething. She stood up and stood protectively in front on the girl.

“Naraku…Don’t you dare say anything to her about failing. She tried her best!! Just look at her!” She swept her hand towards Kikyou.

“Kagura, stand down!” He flashed a glare at the girl and she reluctantly stepped out of his way. She stood with her head bowed and her hands clasped in front of her. She closed her eyes tight, wishing she didn’t have to obey this man.

“Kikyou, you little bitch.” He yanked her up by her hair. She yelped and tried to swipe his hands away from her.

“You didn’t complete your task!” He glared at the girl.

“You didn’t complete your task either…Unless that is you have forgotten…” She smirked up at him as he let go of her hair. “You didn’t get the Shikon jewel from Kagome, did you?” She held a false sense of joy on her face. She smoothed her hair and wiped her face on her shirt. She pushed all her emotions into the void in the back of her mind. She tried to forget everything. She set her mind on the tasks ahead of her and hardened her heart to the past. She took the first few steps towards Naraku, closing the space between them.

“Unless you have forgotten, Naraku…You’re the one who needs the jewel to bring your pathetic life from the state it’s in, to one of meaning. So before you go accusing me of failing…Take a look at yourself. I’m still beautiful, you’re not. I have gorgeous hair…” She picked up a lock of his hair. “Yours is…Well…” She furrowed her brow. “Yours is just disgusting.” She let out a laugh. “I have true friends,” She waved her hand in the direction of Kagura. “What do you have? You have people unwillingly following you. Not anymore, Naraku. We quit. So go get some dumbass to pull the stick out of your ass!!!” She let anger fill her features before shoving him with all she had, letting power seep through her fingers. She let her face fall into a smooth façade once more before grabbing Kagura’s hand and quickly leaving.

A little short…I know…But its all I had the heart to write. My brother is coming home (haven’t seen him in a few months), so updates will most likely cease until next Wednesday. Please review and I might update sooner. Thanks! ^.^

Are you blind to your true fairy tale?
