InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Only While Human ❯ The Unsung Saviors ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha! I only own the story! But wouldn't it be good if I did own the show? Or the manga? Hmm… Anyway, I hope you enjoy! This kinda took me a long time to write. But besides my meaningless rambling, Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.

NOTE: Enjoy! Sorry if this gets confusing and sorry this chapter is a little shorter than the others!

Only While Human

Chapter Six: The Unsung Saviors

<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>

Back at the hut, walls began to fall in every direction. Shippo, Kirara and Miroku had all gotten out onto the grass safely while Sango, Kagome and Inuyasha were still stuck inside. Sango and Inuyasha were fine, but Kagome was just frozen in place, almost like if she was in shock or something.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed as a piece of wood fell from the ceiling, landing and splitting in half after landing on Inuyasha's head since he had ran in front of her and shielded her, his head slowly starting to bleed. "Sango, you head on out. I'll take care of Kagome, we should be out shortly."

Giving only a silent nod as a reply, Sango quickly walked out of the hut and started down the small row of steps, her foot getting caught on something as she fell forward, landing in Miroku's arms as he arrived at the last second. "Thank you, Houshi-Sama…" Sango softly said, looking up at Miroku as she smiled. Miroku smiled back, not knowing he was subconsciously groping her. Sango was then quickly thrown to the ground, accidentally dropped by Miroku when she slapped him. "Jeez, Miroku! Will you ever change?" Sango screamed. Miroku just shrugged his shoulders.

<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*> < p>MEANWHILE…

<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*&l t;*>

"C'mon, Kagome!" Inuyasha said, now beside her as she still stood still. "You have to move!"

"Inu… Inuyasha…" Kagome softly said, looking up at him, her eyes soft and wide as tears rolled down her face. "Inuyasha," she repeated. "Why? Why must you talk about Kikyo?"

"Wha…?! Kagome, there's no need of that now! Let's… go!" Inuyasha grunted as he grabbed her arm. As of right now, Inuyasha was worried about Kagome, how she suddenly just changed. Since she was still like dead weight, he quickly picked her up into his arms and started towards the entrance/exit, hugging her close for protection as more wood fell from the ceiling. 'I don't know what suddenly got into Kagome, but I don't like it!' he thought.

<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>

Finally out of what was left of the hut, everyone was at a safe distance as it finally caved in completely and collapsed. Everyone was sad and disappointed; sad because they had left all their belongings and possessions, along with their battle weapons, inside and weren't thinking at the time and disappointed because it wasn't even their hut in the first place and now it was gone forever, destroyed.

Kagome, who was still in Inuyasha's arms, had one of her hands clutched tightly on the rosary that hung around Inuyasha's neck. In his mind, he could still hear her words, those words now haunting him, hurting him. "Why? Why must you talk about Kikyo?" he shook his head, trying to get those words out of his head. He knew he should've been more careful picking his words! For the past couple days, Kagome has just been acting differently at just the slightest mention of Kikyo for some unknown reason.

As the dust disappeared into the air, everyone saw the mass layers of debris piled onto the grass. They hoped the original owners of the hut, whom they didn't know, don't know they had tried to reside there for the night only to miserably fail.

"That hut was built strong," Sango started. "But I guess not strong enough to hold a battle inside. I mean, if you think about it, there are no houses/huts/buildings or temples in this era that are made to fight in!" she glared at Miroku harshly.

Miroku saw Sango stare at him and he apologized, looking over at Inuyasha who was kneeling down, carefully laying Kagome down onto the soft grass. She was still quite out of it, and he didn't want her condition to get any worse. "We are forever sorry, aren't we Inuyasha?"

"What? Oh, uh… Yeah, sure." were the words that came out of Inuyasha's mouth, but he obviously wasn't paying the slightest tad bit of attention. Smiling down at Kagome, he used one hand to push away some hair out of Kagome's face. Miroku and Sango smiled at one another as they both saw the movement, and it seemed like Kagome was actually smiling. His hand then slightly moved downwards, cupping her cheek as he looked down at her one more time, then using his other hand to help stand up. Now pushing black hair out of his own face, Inuyasha's face became hot as he saw both Miroku and Sango staring at him with knowing glares. "What?" he asked. "Jeez, what'd I do?"

"We think you know," Miroku spoke, his voice soft and calm as he looked over to Kagome.

"Well, I'm sure that I don't know!" Inuyasha screamed curtly, his face becoming a dark shade of red. Truthfully, he knew exactly what they were talking about. They wanted to ask him about Kagome!

Sango smiled, folding her arms across her chest. 'If only Kagome was awake,' she thought. 'Then she would be able to see that Inuyasha really does have feelings for her.'

In the meanwhile, Shippo sighed as he shut his eyes and looked down at the ground. "Not this again. This was how Inuyasha and Miroku's fight started in the first place! All over… Owwwww!" Shippo screamed and almost burst into tears. "What was that for?! That hurt…!" he then ran away before Inuyasha had the chance to punch him atop of the head again, saving his head from any more unwanted lumps.

"That's how your fight was started? Over Kagome?" Sango asked, curious.

"Not exactly," Miroku answered, only to get a questioned look from Sango. "It's a bit more complicated than that."

Sango nodded, really not wanting to know the true reason.

"C'mon, Miroku," Inuyasha said as he walked away from Kagome, looking back out at the destroyed hut. "We need to just go back and try to find our weapons and some supplies, it won't take long."

"Can I come along?" Sango asked, looking over at Miroku as he shook his head slowly in disagreement as he spoke for Inuyasha.

"No, Sango. You should stay here and watch Lady Kagome, to see if she gets any better."

"Right. I'll do that." Sango then went where Inuyasha once was, sitting down cross-legged beside Kagome.

"Thanks, Sango…" Inuyasha quietly mumbled under his breath, to low to hear as him and Miroku started walking down towards the hut again.

"No problem, Inuyasha!" Sango called out, causing Miroku to burst out in laughter as Inuyasha stopped walking, his face turning red in embarrassment. But, in order to cover up his embarrassment, he started running towards the debris.

"Hmpf, what do they know?" Inuyasha harshly stated, jumping and landing a few feed away from the remains of the hut.

Miroku looked up at Sango, feeling relieved to see her smiling. 'What can ya do?' he thought.
